Chapter 137 Rinne's Story: "A Trip to the Bathroom"
Time slipped away unnoticed, and it was already afternoon. Lai Chan High School was about to begin its club activities.
The intense afternoon sunlight streamed into the spacious corridor in front of the painting department, where a bustling crowd formed a tight circle, enveloping the two people in the center.
All eyes were on the striking couple, as sunlight streamed through the tall windows along the corridor.
"This senior is so handsome... Although he seems a bit gloomy, he really has an artistic beauty to him!"
"Mom, I think I'm in love... Senior, is it too late to join your club now? Please, please mentor me!!"
Ming didn't react to the noise of the onlookers around him. He just lowered his head slightly, his deep and lively eyes fixed on the drawing board, and the pencil in his hand slid lightly across the paper. After a few more strokes, he finally finished.
Then, Ming slowly raised his head, looked calmly at Sawa sitting in front of him as a model, and silently handed her the finished portrait.
"Is it finished... Mingjun?"
Feeling the gaze of so many people around her, Sawa looked up, slightly uncomfortable, and asked Ming.
"It's finished, thank you Sawa-chan."
Ming spoke calmly, then folded up the drawing board and put it back in the club's. He walked out and, under the gaze of his juniors, took Sawa's hand.
"We've finished our club tasks, let's go home."
Sawa's face turned bright red instantly, and she let Ming lead her out of the crowd.
When the female students saw this, they all wilted like frostbitten eggplants, and at that moment, they all felt like they had been dumped.
"Wait a minute, isn't this model his girlfriend...?"
"Ugh! I was just about to join the art club, and you're telling me this senior already has a girlfriend! Seriously..."
"Do not--!"
On the other side, the two walked to a quiet corner of the campus, and Sawa whispered:
"Mingjun, wasn't that a bit inappropriate? Those female students looked so disappointed."
Ming shook his head and looked at Sawa seriously, saying:
“But I only care about what you think.” Sawa’s heart suddenly raced, and she lowered her head.
Who knew? I just casually mentioned that I thought Mingjun looked cool when he drew, but I never expected him to actually sign up for the art club.
I could have walked home with him after school, but he had club assignments and had to finish a sketch before he could leave. However, he invited me to wait with him until he finished his assignment before we went home together.
Watching him intently studying his own description, I think Mingjun is really handsome.
Just as Sha was immersed in her boundless reverie, a crisp striking sound suddenly came from afar. The sound, like the beat of a drum, broke the original tranquility and instantly attracted the attention of the two of them.
They looked in the direction of the sound and saw two energetic figures playing hockey in the distance, sweating profusely, while Origami and Tohka sat watching.
On that lively field, a girl in a pink tracksuit (Rinne) is holding a hockey stick and happily hitting the hockey ball with a sunny boy with blue hair (Shido).
Sawa looked over there with curiosity, her eyes full of longing:
"They look so happy," Ming said softly, glancing at Sawa's expression.
"Why don't we go take a look too?" Sawa readily agreed.
As they approached the hockey field, Rinne struck the ball with all her might, and it flew rapidly toward Sawa.
Ming reacted quickly, reaching out to block the ball. "Sorry!" Rinne hurriedly ran over to apologize. Ming waved his hand, indicating it was alright.
Rinne smiled gratefully and looked at Sawa and Mei.
"Are you here to watch the hockey game? It's a friendly match between our club members today," Sawa nodded in response.
Just then, Shido ran over and enthusiastically invited them to join in. Sawa hesitated for a moment, but Mei took her hand and encouraged her.
So the two of them joined this impromptu, fun competition.
During the match, Sawa was a bit clumsy but tried her best, while Mei showed amazing coordination.
Rinne and Shido worked together seamlessly, and everyone was having a great time. However, during one game, Sawa accidentally fell. Mei rushed over to help her up, looking worried.
Sawa smiled and said it was nothing, and stood up with Ming's help.
As the sun gradually set, the impromptu match drew to a close. Shido led the remaining three girls away, and the two sat on the grass to rest, sharing their amusing stories. Sawa leaned on Mei's shoulder, watching the sunset, her heart filled with happiness.
Today was supposed to be just an ordinary day, but it became more interesting and fulfilling because of my unexpected participation in hockey activities. It was also great to have Mingjun by my side the whole time.
After a short rest on the sports field, the two returned to their shared home as the sun set.
Upon arriving home, Ming skillfully turned on the living room light and then consciously headed towards the kitchen.
"I'll cook today, is that okay?"
"sure!"
"What would you like to eat, Sawai-chan?"
"Pasta! Uh... do you have the kind with cheese? If not, something else is fine too."
After listening, Ming looked at the refrigerator and said, "Yes, we have it. We have cheese too, no need to change it!"
Ming put on his apron and started working in the kitchen. He first boiled water to cook the noodles, and when the water was bubbling, he carefully put the noodles in.
Next, he took out a frying pan and started frying bacon. The sizzling sound and the aroma filled the air. Sawa, smelling the aroma in the living room, couldn't help but feel her stomach growl a few times. She covered her stomach a little shyly.
Upon hearing the voice, Ming's lips curled up slightly.
He set aside the fried bacon, then started sautéing onions and mushrooms until fragrant. He poured in cream and milk, stirring slowly until the sauce thickened. Next, he scooped the cooked noodles into a plate, poured the rich cheese sauce over them, and topped with bacon.
"Sawa, dinner is ready."
Ming carried the plate out of the kitchen. Sawa's eyes lit up as she looked at the beautifully presented pasta.
She took a bite, her eyes crinkling with satisfaction, "Mingjun's noodles are super delicious!"
After dinner, Ming went to the door and opened it.
"Huh? Mingjun, where are you going so late at night? Aren't you going to play games together?" Shahe asked curiously as she sat on the sofa and picked up a game controller.
"Look around Tiangong City and see if there are any other places besides the electronics company that can fix your room's air conditioner. After all, you're a girl, and sitting on the bed with a boy every day must be a bit uncomfortable..."
Sawa put down the controller, stood up, and walked to Ming's side. "Ming-kun, there's really no need to rush. The weather isn't that hot yet, is it? This way, we can save on electricity bills."
Ming shook his head. "The sooner it's fixed, the more comfortable you'll be." Shahe felt a warmth in her heart and accompanied Ming out the door.
They walked along the street, the city of Tengu brightly lit at night. Passing a dessert shop, Sawa stopped, her eyes fixed on the exquisite cakes inside.
Seeing this, Ming pulled Sawa into the store. Ming bought a strawberry cake for Sawa, who ate it with a happy expression.
They continued their search for a repair shop. They found several, but were not satisfied; either the prices were too high, or the technicians were unavailable.
Ming has plenty of pocket money, so he doesn't recommend spending more to fix the air conditioner, but Shahe keeps telling him that she can find a cheaper shop, so she has no choice but to give up.
After searching for a long time, Ming sighed helplessly.
Sawa comforted him, "Ming-kun, it's okay if we can't find it. We're doing alright for now anyway." Ming nodded, and the two turned and walked back.
As soon as she got home, Sawa rushed to the game console. Ming followed with a smile, sat down next to her, and picked up another controller. The game started, and Sawa became completely absorbed, her fingers constantly pressing the buttons.
Ming occasionally turned his head to look at her focused expression, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
12:00 AM sharp~
"Ooh~"
"Okay, Mingjun, I'll go run a bath first. You can use the bathroom later, okay?"
Sawa put down the handle, went back to her room, busied herself for a while, then took a set of pink cat pajamas from the closet and brought them into the bathroom.
Before going in, Sawa said to herself, "Don't peek, Ming-kun!"
Once inside, Sawa leaned against the bathroom door, looking at the living room where there was no sound of footsteps moving, and finally sighed.
'Mingjun...can't you be a little more proactive? I agreed back in elementary school...'
Ming waited alone in the living room, hearing the sound of water being poured from the bathroom. Recalling what Sha had said before she went in, Ming's heart clenched, and his mind began to wander.
"Damn it! Okamine Mei, you're a real jerk! How could you have such thoughts about Sawa! Your own girlfriend! Wait... girlfriend? Cough cough, never mind, I'm going to go out for some fresh air..." Mei muttered to himself, choosing to push open the door and walk out in order to avoid seeing it.
At this moment, on the distant Sky Tower, a humanoid goat-headed creature engulfed in crimson flames sat half-crouched, looking in Ming's direction. After shaking its head, it laughed loudly and muttered:
"Hahaha! I can't take it anymore, hahaha! I'm dying of laughter! I never thought my good-for-nothing sister's creation of this world would be so interesting... I can't believe I'm seeing this kid being so silly... I'm dying of laughter!"
Because Ming's spiritual power was separated by Rinne using [Paradise], Asmodeus, who originally coexisted with Ming through spiritual power, was also extracted from it.
"What a pity... my [sister], is she still immersed in her false love with that blue-haired boy? If I weren't trapped in this tower by her, I really would..."
He opened his arms wide, welcoming the hot summer breeze from the Sky Tower, and shouted with rapt attention:
"Burn them all down—!!"
As he shouted, he glanced back in Ming's direction, and the ram's head, scorched by flames, smiled. "This kid, well, let's wait a bit longer before destroying his good fortune... Now, I'll give him the push..."
Asmodeus raised his hand, and countless black chains emerged from his charred body, piercing the ground as he sensed the spiritual energy forming the veins of Paradise, barely managing to manipulate the composition of the space.
Meanwhile, Ming slowly reached out and gently pushed open the tightly closed door in front of him. He felt a momentary daze, but without any reaction, he subconsciously stepped out.
However, in the next instant, when he opened his eyes again, he was shocked to find himself in a bright bathroom.
The room was filled with a hazy mist, but what shocked Ming even more was that he could vaguely see the outline of her graceful figure in the bathtub in front of him.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Sawa! She was enjoying a comfortable and relaxing bath.
"Huh? Sawa!! What's going on? Aren't we outside?!"
Hearing Ming's exclamation, Shahe looked in the direction of the sound and blushed instantly. She hadn't expected Ming to actually take this step, and she instinctively stood up.
But she forgot that she wasn't wearing a towel to cover herself while taking a bath...
"Aa ...
"Mingjun, you pervert!"
"Suck it..."
Ming subconsciously swallowed, because in that instant, Shahe's snow-white skin was reflected on his retina. After a 0.15-second struggle between Ming and his little Ming, Ming hurriedly closed his eyes.
Ming is also a healthy high school boy. It would be a complete lie to say that he doesn't want to see a beautiful girl like Saya naked.
But how should I put it? Should I call it a minefield, or a fleeting black prison? I always feel that if I can't resist the temptation in front of me and take action, the consequences will be unimaginable.
(A fleeting, far-fetched exclamation: "Man!!")
'Oh no... my nose is already bleeding, how embarrassing!!'
As Ming was pondering this, he originally wanted to find an excuse to get by and leave quickly.
However, Sawa, who had just gotten up, slowly sat back down in the truly spacious bathtub, her blush fading, and looked at her with a smile.
"Mingjun!"
"exist!"
Upon hearing Sawa's shouts, Ming instinctively stopped and stood upright, not daring to turn around.
Sawa's voice carried a hint of shyness yet was firm.
"Mingjun, now that you're here, why don't we take a bath together?"
Ming's eyes widened. "This...this isn't a good idea."
"We are boyfriend and girlfriend, and we made many promises about the future when we were young."
Ming's face flushed red as he struggled internally. On one hand, he was torn between his moral convictions and his love for Sawa, as well as her "rare" initiative.
Just as Ming hesitated, Sawa stepped out of the bathtub and unabashedly reached out to grab the hem of his clothes. Ming felt his mind go blank, as if some force was pushing him.
Finally, he slowly turned around, his eyes still closed, and groped his way to the bathtub.
Shahe guided Ming to take off his clothes and enter the bathtub. The warm water enveloped Ming, and he became so nervous that his whole body stiffened.
Sawa leaned against Ming's chest and whispered, "Ming-kun, relax."
Ming slowly opened his eyes and looked at Shahe in his arms, a unique warmth welling up in his heart.
'It was worth buying such a big bathtub!' Ming thought to himself.
As for Ming, he had already selectively closed his eyes, and the Buddha's scriptures were repeatedly echoing in his mind, like a child who had made a mistake.
However, the soft, boneless palm felt so comfortable against his skin that no veteran cadre could resist the temptation.
"Well! I can't stand it anymore!"
"Oh! Mingjun?!"
Ming slapped Sha's smooth shoulder hard, and then... (sorry, this is Tomato, skipped).
...Tick-tock transition sound effect~
Thirty minutes later, Ming and Sawa had changed their clothes and walked out of the bathroom.
Both of them blushed and dared not look at each other. That's right, in the bathroom, Ming couldn't resist and things got out of hand...
