Chapter 416: After Love Grows Over Time
"Can't you just keep me?" the girl breathed coquettishly into his ear.
The wisps of fragrance she brought made Hikaru's gaze a little unfocused.
He might have had scruples before. Now, to be honest, with the relationship confirmed, logically speaking, he could interact however he wanted.
But in the early stages of being together, it was actually very possible for both sides to still be timid.
True boldness would have to wait until love grew over time.
"Okay... I'll keep you..."
He still liked these occasional little moments of ambiguity.
"Thank you, Brother~"
A charming voice gently blew across Hikaru's face, accompanied by a light touch of lips.
After the whole sequence, Hikaru felt like his bones were about to melt.
In front of his senior sister, he really had no way to resist.
"Hahaha..."
Xue Nai lay on his back, looking at his somewhat embarrassed state, and let out a laugh like silver bells.
Junior Brother's personality hadn't changed at all.
Realizing Sakura (Xiao Ye) was still asleep, she softened her laughter.
"Senior Sister..."
"Hmm~"
"Can you get down?" Hikaru asked carefully.
Xue Nai's previously smiling face immediately turned cold, "What? Am I too heavy for you?"
Hikaru finally understood a girl's ability for self-dramatization. He quickly waved his hands and explained, "No, no... how could that be? It's just... forget it."
Actually, he wanted to say that she smelled a bit too good, and the part she was holding onto, he couldn't really move.
"Hee hee..."
Xue Nai giggled and got off him.
New couples indeed like to be clingy, but in such situations, things could easily get out of hand.
"Come on, chat with me~"
She took Hikaru's hand and walked towards her room. Once inside, she first kicked off her cotton slippers, revealing her feet in white socks, and then climbed onto the bed.
"Come on up!"
Looking at Hikaru still standing by the bed, Xue Nai said softly.
"..."
Although a bit embarrassed, Hikaru still chose to take off his shoes and climbed up.
He felt that a girl who loved cleanliness indeed had a bed different from a boy's; it even carried a faint, fresh scent.
"A little closer, okay?"
Tucking her silver-white hair, and looking at Hikaru who was almost at the foot of the bed, Xue Nai pulled him over without taking no for an answer, "We're a couple, after all!"
"Oh, oh..."
Hikaru was a bit slow on the uptake.
Compared to Sakura (Xiao Ye), her assertiveness was clearly stronger.
But Sakura (Xiao Ye) was different. With Sakura (Xiao Ye), whether it was contact or shared experiences, things could be more natural. After all, he had spanked her bottom when they were little.
Hikaru sat down beside her, thinking that his senior sister was indeed right. So, steeling himself, he put his hand on the girl's shoulder beside him. The latter looked at him with some surprise but also leaned into his shoulder.
He suddenly felt a pang of guilt, "I'm sorry, Senior Sister..."
"Shh..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Hikaru felt his mouth being covered by a delicate little finger. Turning his head slightly, the girl beside him had a bright expression on her face.
Xue Nai was undoubtedly very smart. Hikaru had just opened his mouth, and she already knew what he was going to say.
An indifferent tone came from her lips, "I know what you want to say. It must be that I was left alone at home, and you couldn't reveal my identity, so you feel guilty."
"Actually, there's no need at all, Junior Brother. Although I haven't known you as long as Xiao Ye (Sakura), I believe you. That day will come sooner or later."
A playful smile spread across her face, "To put it another way, even if you're not successful in the future, I'm still willing to be with you. It's quite nice for us to be together secretly. As long as Xiao Ye (Sakura) doesn't object."
These words made Hikaru freeze. He couldn't imagine a girl would do so much for him. While greatly moved, he also felt even more guilty. He couldn't help but pull her into his embrace. He wanted to say something, but then felt that promises and such were all empty; it would be too heartbreaking if he couldn't fulfill them.
He just silently made a decision in his heart: he must treat his senior sister well in the future.
Little did he know, Xue Nai, nestled in his embrace, had a slight smile playing on her lips.
Junior Brother,
I know you're very responsible, that's why you'd say such things.
I just like you too much.
But very soon, Xue Nai's face turned crimson.
She lifted her head from Hikaru's chest and shot him a look, "Are you going to eat me?"
"..."
Hikaru was a bit embarrassed, but this was also unavoidable. They were both young. If there was no reaction when they were this close, wouldn't that mean he wasn't capable?
What's more, his senior sister had just had a little wine with Sakura (Xiao Ye). Her face was slightly flushed, looking extremely alluring.
Because she usually only stayed at home, her attire was also quite casual: a white short-sleeved shirt paired with three-quarter length casual shorts, her fair, slender long legs exposed, so white they were almost dazzling. Plus, she was curled up in his embrace, one leg even nestled between his. This feeling, he really couldn't hold back!
Honestly, Hikaru really wanted to reach out and feel what it was like.
But deep down, he was a bit afraid. He could only try to change the subject, "Senior Sister, no, what were you saying you wanted to talk about just now?"
Xue Nai shot him another look, "Originally, I wanted to ask where you plan to go after finishing the Youth League."
"Go... to Alto Mare for a trip, and then another place."
Going to Alto Mare was because Randa was there recently.
The other party had been pressing him relentlessly about that trade.
Thinking of this, Hikaru opened the entry interface again and directly activated the [Guidance of the Legendary Pokémon].
A familiar, fated sense began to permeate his heart, "Then head south, there's something to do."
At the same time, he checked his entry coins.
He exclaimed inwardly, "Well, now."
One Gold Entry had directly increased his entry coins from over twenty thousand to forty thousand.
Meaning, one Gold Entry was worth over ten thousand.
"Take me with you, okay? I don't know where to go..."
Xue Nai pouted. Before, she had always strived for his sake; now, it was better to just follow him directly.
"Mhm, mhm..."
Putting away the system, Hikaru's gaze became unfocused. Checking the system, chatting about other topics, were all just to divert attention.
But with a soft fragrance in his arms, inevitably, he still felt his whole body stir, his breathing becoming ragged.
Unable to resist moving, Xue Nai in his embrace was startled.
She could see that her junior brother was actually enduring it now.
"How about, Senior Sister, you get down first?"
Actually, most relationships in their early stages are driven by such impulses; youth represents vigorous vitality.
As for supporting each other through thick and thin, that would probably be after becoming an old married couple.
Xue Nai, having had a little wine, didn't listen to him. Instead, she started drawing circles on his chest, her long legs moving between his, "Hee hee~ Junior Brother."
