......

It was dinner time, and everyone left the lounge one after another.

Silent Suzuka also left with Special Week and the others, but returned after a while.

She skillfully pushed the door back and closed the lounge door.

"You seem very afraid of them finding out."

"I'm not afraid," Silent Suzuka said stubbornly, "It's just that if others also get massages, you won't have time to massage me... and you owe me."

She took off her jacket, revealing the sports short-sleeved top underneath, then lay flat on the small bed in the lounge, looking like she was ready for anything.

Seeing that Lu Jue hadn't come over yet, but was instead staring blankly at her, Silent Suzuka's crossed hands caressed her exposed arms, "You... how long are you going to stare?"

"Coming, coming, your number one masseur is ready," Lu Jue rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Silent Suzuka, "May I ask what package you'd like today?"

Silent Suzuka found it amusing, "What packages do you have?"

"Hmm... I recommend ginger, garlic, and scallions, then a cool rinse with water, and finally my exclusive cooking wine."

"And then?" Silent Suzuka asked again.

As Lu Jue spoke, he helped Silent Suzuka tie up her hair, "Then light the fire and bring it to a boil... and then we can start stir-frying."

"Stir-frying?"

"Yes, the name of this stew is Stewed Venison."

"Lu Jue-jun, do you think you're very humorous?"

Even the usually gentle Silent Suzuka couldn't help but bicker with Lu Jue... though she always lost.

If she couldn't win now, future "bickering" would be even less certain.

"Yes, humor is also one of my charms," Lu Jue said narcissistically.

"Lu Jue-jun, I found that when I first met you, you were very humble and polite, but now... you feel a bit repressed."

"Thanks for the compliment~" The thick-skinned Lu Jue accepted it all.

"So... I wasn't complimenting you!"

......

Not long after Seiun Sky left, she suddenly realized that her dorm key was in the pocket of the clothes she was going to wash.

Thinking that the distance was quite short, she decided to return to the lounge.

Exiting through the back door of the lounge led to an open space used for drying clothes and storing miscellaneous items. The washing machine was, of course, also located there.

Seiun Sky originally intended to enter the lounge through the front door, but as she approached, she heard a series of strange sounds.

So familiar...

Is that Silence Suzuka's voice?

She pressed her long ears against the door, and those sounds that easily made one's imagination run wild became even clearer.

It really was Silence Suzuka's voice.

But what was wrong with her?

Was she comforting herself or alleviating something due to unhappiness?

But Seiun Sky remembered that Silent Suzuka hadn't lost a race recently; in fact, she had just won a G1 championship, so how could she be crying?

For a moment, Seiun Sky was also in a dilemma, unsure whether she should push the door open, until she heard another familiar voice.

Although a bit muffled, she could roughly understand what was being said.

"Silence Suzuka, you're afraid of being discovered, yet you're making such strange sounds?"

"I... it's not what I want."

"Do you need me to find some tape?"

"No, no need, I'll control myself."

......

Seiun Sky's eyes gradually widened, her furrowed brows as heavy as two dumbbells.

The sky fell, what... were they doing!?

Tape? Red bean paste, is it okay?!

Shock, like a storm, washed over Seiun Sky's psychological wall of paper and sand, instantly annihilating it.

Now, she dared not open the door even more.

But her resolve to find out the truth solidified.

Lu Jue and Silent Suzuka... no, they shouldn't be in the lounge, at least.

Seiun Sky pulled her head back, then tiptoed quietly around to the back of the lounge.

Like a thief, she tiptoed into the open space.

Although the back door of the lounge was also closed, there was a window that wasn't very high.

Her heart pounded, feeling more excited than the people involved.

Seiun Sky crept to the window, then poked out her cat-like head, getting a perfect view of the situation inside the lounge.

So it was... a massage.

She didn't notice that she felt a little disappointed inside?

"But... Trainer's massage is so gentle, and Silence Suzuka looks very comfortable with her eyes closed."

"It doesn't look like it's the first time, does it? When did it start?"

Silent Suzuka was the first to join the team, so Seiun Sky naturally had no way to guess.

However, this scene reminded her of the unpleasant memories of Lu Jue favoring Special Week and neglecting her... Although it wasn't intentional, she was still jealous.

"Is this time exclusive to Silence Suzuka? It should be." Seiun Sky pondered, also recalling her previous question about how to address Lu Jue.

Although there was a professional medical team to massage them on weekends, Seiun Sky certainly wanted Lu Jue to massage her as well.

No matter what! Jealousy, she was still jealous!

The more she watched, the more the burgeoning jealousy spread and fermented, completely acidifying the soil of Seiun Sky's heart.

But little did she know that such a soil environment had the benefit of promoting the growth of the seed buried within it.

That seed named "desire to kiss."

Watered by the spring of "unwillingness," it grew in a tearing posture.

And because this spring water was not pure, mixed with impurities such as "resentment," "jealousy," "sadness," and "delusion," it quietly mutated during its growth.

If the diseased roots cannot support the dawn, then let them merge into the darkness—that long-planned intimacy doesn't necessarily have to be imprinted on the face; what's wrong with it falling on the corresponding place?

Seiun Sky didn't know if that would become her exclusive, but she wanted to be the first!

Silent Suzuka, Special Week, Uralala, all of them would be behind her.

......

Seiun Sky found the lost key. When she left, she wasn't as sneaky as when she came in.

She walked with big steps, deliberately, to make the two people inside the lounge aware.

Sure enough, after hearing footsteps, Silent Suzuka suddenly sat up from the bed and quickly put on her jacket, "It sounds like someone is here."

Lu Jue really didn't care; he was just giving a massage, not doing anything else. "Are you still getting the massage?"

Silent Suzuka opened the back door and looked, but Seiun Sky had already left, and there was no trace of her.

Looking at the darkening sky, Silent Suzuka realized she had overreacted a bit, "Let's stop here for today. Thank you, Lu Jue-jun, I'm going to eat now."
