Chapter 123 Mahiru's Soul-Searching Question
Shiina Mahiru was unwilling to conduct experiments with Natsuo, and she left under the pretext of going back to take a shower.
After her morning run, Natsumi felt hungry, so she went straight to his house to cook with Suoh Yuki.
Neither of them took a shower.
Of course, that wasn't the only reason she left.
Because she didn't have lunch with Xia Sheng and the others at noon.
Natsuo wasn't too worried. He added Suoh Yuki to their group chat, explained the situation, and Shiina Mahiru even helped to explain.
Since she's willing to speak in the group, she must not be too angry.
His relationship with them was destined to be like this; she could only gradually adapt.
In the afternoon, Natsuo was drawing illustrations in the studio, with Yuki Suoh accompanying him. However, she wasn't idle; she was chatting with Yukino Yukinoshita and the others in the group chat.
She asked many questions about that place that was still unclear, as well as about Xia Sheng and their experiences over the past few days.
Whether they are new companions or acquaintances, Yukino Yukinoshita and the others are happy to tell her about them.
As evening approached, Natsuo finished his illustration and noticed that Yuki Suoh was still chatting with everyone on her phone.
They're having such a lively conversation.
Xia Sheng didn't call her and quietly left the studio.
Once outside, Natsuo arrived at Shiina Mahiru's house and rang the doorbell.
A moment later, Shiina Mahiru opened the door.
"Why are you here?"
Her expression was still a bit cold, and it seemed that she hadn't recovered yet.
"I missed you." Xia Sheng said, squeezing into the room.
"You weren't allowed in."
"Are you going to kick me out?" Xia Sheng asked, putting on his indoor shoes.
"Shiina Mahiru silently closed the door, ignoring him, and went back to the living room first.
Xia Sheng put on his shoes, followed her, and sat down next to her.
Shiina Mahiru moved to the side, and he moved with her, getting even closer.
She moved again, and Xia Sheng followed, until they sat together on the edge of the sofa, pressed close together.
Shiina Mahiru wore a soft, flowing loungewear dress that looked light and airy, with a very smooth and silky texture that felt weightless against her skin.
"What...what do you want to do?" she asked nervously.
Xia Sheng's behavior is already quite obvious.
"Are you still angry?" Xia Sheng replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.
"no."
"I've known you for more than just a day or two." Xia Sheng grasped her slender hand, smooth and delicate.
"Let me go!" Shiina Mahiru did not struggle.
"No, I can't bear to part with it." Xia Sheng grabbed it tightly.
"How can you be so shameless?" Shiina Mahiru glared at him.
"How can you become the most important person to you if you're not thick-skinned?"
"How dare you say that?" Shiina Mahiru suddenly got angry.
He kissed Yui Yuigahama behind her back, claiming it was for an experiment, but she didn't believe it was just for an experiment.
"Don't be angry," Xia Sheng said gently, trying to soothe him.
He released her hand, then wrapped his arms around her back, hooked his arms around her knees, and pulled her onto his lap.
"You..." Shiina Mahiru sat on his lap, frozen in place.
"It's all my fault. I had impure thoughts. I had an affair with Yui behind your back."
"What do you mean by cheating? You and I aren't in a romantic relationship," Shiina Mahiru retorted, pouting.
"Then why are you jealous?" Xia Sheng asked with a smile.
"I'm not jealous."
"You're just saying one thing and meaning another."
"No means no!"
"So you're really angry, right? What's the reason?"
"I..." Shiina Mahiru opened her mouth as if to speak, but couldn't think of a reason to explain.
Seeing Xia Sheng's cheerful expression, she was furious and couldn't help but punch him in the chest.
I don't have much strength.
"I know you're jealous, but you also know our situation, right? Some experiments just have to be done," Xia Sheng said solemnly.
"Didn't you say... you wanted to use me for experiments?" Shiina Mahiru lowered her head and asked in a low voice.
"Of course I want to, but didn't you refuse?" Xia Sheng said helplessly.
"It's all because you suddenly touched me... Aren't you usually so domineering? Why aren't you being a little tougher?" Shiina Mahiru complained unreasonably.
"Oh, I see. Mahiru, you like my domineering side. I understand." Natsumi put one arm around her waist and stroked her cheek with the other, making her look at him.
"What...what do you want to do?" Shiina Mahiru's heart raced.
"Of course, we should be more domineering."
"I...I didn't agree to you...Mmm!" Shiina Mahiru hadn't finished speaking when Natsuo kissed her.
He held her tightly, pried open the key card, and entangled with her.
Shiina Mahiru only paused for a moment before relaxing and immersing herself in the moment.
She uncontrollably wrapped her arms around Xia Sheng's neck, hugged him tightly, and responded to him.
After a long while, the two separated. Shiina Mahiru was panting, her face flushed, her eyes watery, and her expression somewhat dazed.
Xia Sheng stared intently at her, then prepared to move closer to her.
"Wait a minute... let me catch my breath..." Shiina Mahiru raised her hand and covered his mouth, panting as she spoke.
"Mahiru, you're so alluring right now, I can't resist." Natsuo kissed her hand.
"Shiina Mahiru withdrew her hand and glared at him.
"Am I attractive now? How do I compare to Yui?"

The fiery passion in Xia Sheng's eyes instantly faded.
"Heh~"
Shiina Mahiru looked at him with a smile and continued to ask, "Whose lips are softer, mine or Yui's?"
"No... Mahiru, why would you ask such a question?"
"Just out of curiosity."
"I..." Xia Sheng opened his mouth, unable to answer.
"Not going to answer? Then let me ask you again, have you ever felt Yui's heartbeat?"
Xia Sheng returned home and lay down on the sofa, exhausted.
He was an honest man, and naturally, he answered all of Shiina Mahiru's questions truthfully.
Then he was sent back.
"Cousin, where did you go?" Suoh Yuki came out of the art studio when she heard the noise.
"I went to Mahiru," Natsumi replied dejectedly.
"Cousin, what's wrong?" Suoh Yuki noticed that something was wrong with him, came closer, and asked in a low voice.
Xia Sheng looked up and saw Suoh Yuki's exquisite face so close to his eyes. For some reason, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"Cousin-cousin?" Suoh Yuki lay in his arms, staring at his face so close to hers, and froze.
"It's okay, I just wanted a hug. Yuki, can you comfort me?"
"This...cousin, was it really just a hug?"
"Mmm." Natsuo hugged the sweet and soft Suoh Yuki and closed his eyes.
At that moment, I unexpectedly calmed down.
"Since that's what you say, cousin, then I'll comfort you like this." Seeing that Natsuo had closed his eyes, Suoh Yuki suppressed her nervousness and said in a nonchalant tone.
"Thanks."
"Why are you being so polite with me, cousin?"
"Um."
"Then cousin, why don't you take a nap? You can have dinner later."
"Stay with me."
"Okay, it's only natural for my cousin to stay with me."
"I see." Xia Sheng smiled and prepared to take a nap.
Suoh Yuki stared at his sleeping face, blinking her eyes as she looked closely.
She noticed that Xia Sheng's skin was really good, without any blemishes, fair and bright, with long eyelashes and well-proportioned features.
She suddenly realized that her cousin was very handsome.
As she looked, her gaze fell on Xia Sheng's lips.
Her lips were rosy and healthy, with a prominent cupid's bow and well-defined contours. The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, giving her a friendly and natural look.
Will she kiss her cousin in the future?
She herself was unsure, but at this moment, she did not feel any resistance.
Xia Sheng accepted her unconditionally, didn't ask about her situation, and spoiled her so much, which made her feel a different kind of warmth, or rather, a long-lost warmth.
She was glad she made the choice.
What does the sacrifice of freedom matter if I get to know my cousin and come to his place?
She felt free here too.
As long as her cousin was around, she felt she could stay happy forever.
Thinking this, Suoh Yuki couldn't help but hug Natsuo and then close her eyes.
The two of them hugged each other, lay on the sofa, and quietly slept.
