Their lips met, and Silent Suzuka took small sips.

The wine-flavored kiss was even softer and sweeter than the wine itself.

Just a tiny taste, and Silent Suzuka's heart was intoxicated.

She swam from behind Lu Jue to in front of him, pressing tightly against Lu Jue's chest, as if wanting to melt her entire being into Lu Jue's embrace.

Feeling Silent Suzuka's hot breath, Lu Jue wrapped one arm around her waist and lowered his head to gently kiss her neck.

But the mischievous cat outside the curtain still hadn't left.

"Trainer~ You don't really want me to come in, do you?"

"Still being cheeky? Hurry up and dry yourself, then blow dry your hair."

"Oh~ Got it~" Seiun Sky giggled, not leaving immediately. "Trainer, when can I... today's kiss."

Lu Jue glanced at Silent Suzuka in his arms, seeing that she was still closing her eyes and gently biting his shoulder, so he said, "Now."

"Hmm..." Seiun Sky hesitated, engaging in an internal struggle outside the curtain, and finally gave in. "Eh-chi (H)—Trainer, hurry up and wash, it's not good to soak in the hot spring for too long, you know."

The small feet under the curtain finally disappeared.

Lu Jue breathed a sigh of relief; actually, he wasn't that flustered.

Even if Seiun Sky came in, it would just mean one more spot in his arms, and then watching the two of them get jealous and bicker.

Or perhaps the two of them would temporarily form a united front and stand together against an outsider.

"Today's kiss? What kiss?" Silent Suzuka whimpered, like someone speaking when suddenly woken from a deep sleep.

"You know."

Silent Suzuka rolled her eyes at Lu Jue. "I don't know."

"I just helped you cover it up, and you're still making things difficult for me?" His palm moved the water, and for a moment, Lu Jue couldn't tell if it was the softness of the water or Silent Suzuka's skin.

Silent Suzuka whimpered again, shyly saying, "Lu Jue-jun, I don't think I asked you to cover it up, did I? Even if Seiun came in, I wouldn't be afraid."

"Just now, I don't know who was hiding behind me, muttering 'What should I do?', and now you're acting tough."

"Don't change the subject; now we're discussing you and Seiun's matter." Silent Suzuka looked into Lu Jue's eyes. "What kiss?"

"Uh, it's just..."

Just as Lu Jue was thinking about how to explain, Silent Suzuka unreasonably blocked his mouth.

"Is it like this?"

"Pretty much."

"Pretty much? Then it's not this kind of kiss. How does Seiun usually kiss you?"

"Uh... How am I supposed to answer that?"

Seeing Lu Jue stammering and unable to speak, Silent Suzuka kissed him again. "If Lu Jue-jun doesn't tell me, I'll figure it out myself."

It didn't require any high-level techniques, nor did it need deep communication.

Silent Suzuka closed her upper and lower teeth, gently biting Lu Jue's lower lip, teasing it, then moving to his upper lip.

The sound of the kiss was several times softer than the sound of flowing water.

"Lu Jue-jun, when Seiun kisses you, do you think it's an indirect kiss with me?" Silent Suzuka suddenly thought.

"Silence Suzuka, you're a genius." Just as Lu Jue gave a thumbs up, Silent Suzuka immediately pushed it into the water.

"Hmph, anyway, I'm going to cover Lu Jue-jun's kisses in advance." The busy Silent Suzuka simply couldn't get enough kisses; she wanted to get a little closer, to merge with Lu Jue a little more. "Lu Jue-jun, I like you so much."

With softness in his arms and sweet nothings in his ear, the emotional Silent Suzuka was a potent wine with a strong aftertaste, and Lu Jue couldn't help but be intoxicated.

"Lu Jue-jun." Silent Suzuka hugged Lu Jue's neck, sniffing Lu Jue's scent, as if greedily devouring fireworks. "I want to... jump."

.......

After dinner, Silent Suzuka returned to her dormitory. Rice Shower, Uralala, and Special Week were sitting around playing a card game.

"Silence Suzuka, where did you go this afternoon? Why are you just getting back?" Special Week quickly asked.

"Just wandered around." She certainly wouldn't say she had soaked in the hot spring for a long time that afternoon, and then even went to Lu Jue's room for a nap.

"What are you all playing?"

"We're playing poker. I've already lost several carrots." After complaining, Special Week stubbornly asked, "So where did you go wandering?"

"I went to 'Rigil's' side, didn't wander much... I also played poker for a while."

"Silence Suzuka can play poker too?" Special Week said in surprise. "Then come and teach me, Silence Suzuka~"

"Xiao Te, hurry up! How many carrots are you putting in this time?" Uralala held a hand of cards and urged.

A pyramid of carrots was already piled in front of her, while Special Week had pitifully few, only three or four in front of her.

"Wait a moment, let me think about how to play my cards." Special Week looked at her hand of cards with extreme seriousness.

Silent Suzuka walked around the three little ones, changed into her usual pajamas, and lay down on the bed.

The four beds were pushed together, simply called a combined bed.

"Silence Suzuka-senpai, are you going to sleep?" Rice Shower asked.

"No, you all continue playing, don't mind me." Having rested for so long that afternoon, Silent Suzuka wasn't feeling sleepy now.

She took out her phone and looked at it. "There's a notice in the group. We have to gather at 8 AM tomorrow. The three of you, quickly respond."

"Oh, right, I just remembered we're not here on vacation." Special Week took out her phone, silently read the notification message. "It's joint training, wow! Silence Suzuka, was the training camp you attended before like this too?"

Silent Suzuka shook her head. "Before, it was only 'Rigil's' own members."

"I wonder what kind of training it will be." Uralala felt a little uneasy, afraid she wouldn't be able to keep up with everyone.

"Uralala, don't worry, let's work hard together."

Rice Shower said, pushing the carrots she had won from Special Week towards Uralala.

"Mimi, thank you!" Uralala gave Rice Shower a big hug.

Special Week, watching from the side, felt something was off.

Weren't those her carrots...?

But never mind, as long as Uralala was happy.

.......

In the other dormitory.

Nimble Beret suddenly had the idea of cleaning Tokai Teio and Seiun Sky's ears.

Tokai Teio was very resistant at first, but after a while, she lay limply on Nimble Beret's lap, unwilling to move much.

"So comfortable~" Tokai Teio was still enjoying it, but she still got up and let Seiun Sky take her place.

Seiun Sky looked up, "I really can't see your face..."

"Seiun, what are you saying? Turn sideways, otherwise, how can I clean your ears?"

"Oh, oh, okay."
