Mai Sakurajima was quite confident in her own figure.
It wasn't quite pageant-winning material, but it was solidly in the 'good' range.
Compared to Yukino Yukinoshita —
In terms of looks, there really wasn't much difference between her and Yukino Yukinoshita. Even though she herself was a big star, she genuinely acknowledged Yukino's beauty.
As for figure, the one place Yukino Yukinoshita fell short was being flat-chested.
That was the one area where Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't compare to her.
In every other respect, though, she and Yukino Yukinoshita were remarkably alike — even in bearing. When she put on her cool, aloof face, it was practically indistinguishable from Yukino's everyday demeanor.
Mai Sakurajima figured Lin Ye must just have a thing for girls with long black hair.
That was simply his type.
Well, she fit the bill anyway, so she didn't dwell on it further.
Still... when it came to the Bunny Girl outfit, she'd wear it far, far better than Yukino Yukinoshita would.
After all, in that particular department, she thoroughly outclassed Yukino Yukinoshita — enough that Yukino wouldn't even have the confidence to put up a fight.
That much was simply fact.
"Pervert,"
Mai Sakurajima tossed the word out.
It was her verdict on Lin Ye.
Any man who liked that kind of outfit was a pervert.
"Isn't this the exact outfit you love wearing, Mai?" Lin Ye shot back instead.
Mai Sakurajima: ???
Since when had she ever liked wearing something like that?
"A Bunny Girl senpai runs into a dashing young man in the prime of his youth."
Mai Sakurajima: "..."
She was speechless. Silenced. She could only sigh helplessly at Lin Ye's antics.
"An old man like you shouldn't be calling yourself young,"
"Hey, if I'm an old man, then a certain someone is an old woman — and without me around, I bet nobody would even want you."
Lin Ye didn't hold back at all, launching straight into teasing and mockery.
For him, this had already become routine.
Bantering and teasing with the girl — it was fun, the kind of thing that put him in a good mood and relaxed him.
"Rest assured, old man — no matter how old I, Mai Sakurajima, get, there will always be someone who wants me,"
That confidence came from Mai Sakurajima herself.
Ten years from now, even fifteen, she'd still be beautiful, and there'd be plenty of men willing — just, perhaps, of varying caliber.
And even if the caliber varied, there'd still be some standard to it.
On that point, Mai Sakurajima was quite confident.
"So Mai's already got other men in mind. Not the least bit devoted,"
Mai Sakurajima: ???
This jerk, pulling this stunt again.
"I'm hurt. Mai doesn't even love me exclusively, doesn't love me with her whole heart — already thinking about other men liking you."
That remark was more than Mai Sakurajima could stand. She gritted her teeth.
"You haven't exactly been devoted to me alone either, old man!"
"That's different."
One line, short and clear. Seeing Lin Ye apply such a blatant double standard, Mai Sakurajima was almost laughing out of pure anger.
"It sure is different — a certain someone has awfully thick skin, and is shameless to boot, without a shred of decency,"
"If I weren't shameless, a certain old woman wouldn't have a boyfriend at all,"
The corner of Mai Sakurajima's mouth twitched.
And the annoying thing was — it wasn't even a lie.
It was simply true. Back then, if Lin Ye hadn't been shameless, hadn't been greedy, hadn't had thick enough skin, there was really no way he'd have agreed to her confession and become her boyfriend.
No matter how you looked at it, Lin Ye had liked her, but not to the point of taking that step himself.
That had something to do with how much he liked her, and also with his own personality and habits.
The fact that it worked out was, more than anything, because she'd made the first move. If she hadn't taken the initiative, there probably wouldn't have been anything between her and Lin Ye at all.
"Then maybe a certain old man wouldn't have gotten himself a famous actress girlfriend either."
Mai Sakurajima fired back too — on this point, she refused to concede.
"So, Mai, are you going to wear it?"
Lin Ye looked at Mai Sakurajima, pointing at the Bunny Girl outfit on his phone screen.
"No,"
Such a sexy outfit — no way was she wearing it, and definitely not for Lin Ye to see.
"Fine, I'll just buy one for Ai-chan too, then,"
Mai Sakurajima's eyelid twitched.
This jerk really was something. If she wouldn't do it, he'd just casually announce that another woman would be happy to.
Whether Yukino Yukinoshita would agree was one thing, but Ai Hoshino basically never refused him anything — there was no way she'd say no.
Ai Hoshino's devotion to Lin Ye had already reached the point where she'd make all sorts of sacrifices for him.
Forget the Bunny Girl outfit — even lingerie, or something even more revealing, Mai Sakurajima figured Ai Hoshino would agree without hesitation.
"Order placed, order placed,"
Lin Ye tapped open the phone screen, but a hand quickly appeared over the display.
He followed the hand up and saw Mai Sakurajima.
"What?"
"You're not allowed to buy it,"
Lin Ye asked slowly, "And the reason I'm not allowed?"
"As your girlfriend, I object to you buying things for other women,"
She stated her thoughts and her stance plainly.
She felt she had that right.
Whether Lin Ye would agree, of course, was a separate matter.
Mai Sakurajima kept her eyes on Lin Ye, waiting for his answer.
"Mai, is Ai-chan 'other women'?"
"Anyone but me counts as other women,"
Mai Sakurajima didn't budge an inch, holding firm to her position.
"Fine, I won't buy it,"
Lin Ye set the phone down and turned off the screen.
That gesture filled Mai Sakurajima's chest with a rush of happiness.
It showed just how much Lin Ye cared about her.
He hadn't gone so far as to just do whatever he pleased — he still respected her feelings, still considered her heart.
That was how it should be. Expecting her to always compromise and accommodate everyone else — that wasn't going to fly.
"So, how's Mai going to make it up to me?"
Lin Ye wasted no time asking for his reward.
Mai Sakurajima shot him a look, sighing at his reaction, helpless.
"Tonight I already... already..."
Right! Tonight she'd already given herself over to him completely, let him do as he pleased with her — what more compensation could there possibly be?
Mai Sakurajima looked at Lin Ye, her cheeks faintly flushed, helpless at his demand for a reward.
"That's different. One thing's one thing, another's another,"
After saying this seriously, Lin Ye pointed at his own cheek.
The girl with long black hair, the famous star, immediately understood what he meant.
A kiss. A kiss on the cheek.
She'd assumed, when he raised his hand toward his face, that he wanted a kiss on the lips.
But to her surprise, he'd chosen the cheek instead.
Well, fine.
She clearly had no intention of refusing.
A kiss was a kiss.
Mai Sakurajima leaned in and planted a kiss on Lin Ye's cheek, but just as she was about to straighten back up, Lin Ye wrapped an arm around the girl's waist and, with a gentle pull, aimed her lips right at his.
Mai Sakurajima froze for a moment, then her tensed nerves relaxed, and she let Lin Ye kiss her.
She was completely his to do as he pleased.
This wasn't the first or second kiss between them, after all.
Aside from that one final step, there really weren't any secrets left between them.
A few minutes later, Lin Ye finally let go of a breathless Mai Sakurajima.
The girl's face was flushed crimson, warm breath spilling out over Lin Ye's face in continuous puffs.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
Her eyes carried a coy, embarrassed glint, mixed with a hint of irritation.
No helping it — it was all because Lin Ye was just too good at this.
This had to be a skill he'd practiced with that Yukinoshita woman. Otherwise, how could he possibly be this experienced?
Mai Sakurajima silently thought to herself.
"All right... anything else on your mind?"
Lin Ye turned the question back on Mai Sakurajima.
"Nothing,"
But the shyness in her eyes only grew more intense.
She'd already guessed what Lin Ye was planning to do next.
This and that... and he'd probably want to make her beg for mercy too.
Beg for mercy?
Not a chance.
Absolutely not a chance.
"Let's rest for a bit first,"
Lin Ye was in no hurry.
"Mm,"
"Want to go for a walk outside afterward?"
"Sure,"
Mai Sakurajima agreed.
Throwing on a coat to go out, Mai Sakurajima walked arm in arm with Lin Ye along the nighttime street.
The orange glow of the streetlamps cast a soft light, bringing warmth and brightness to the cold night.
Tap, tap, tap...
The two of them strolled along the street.
Crisp footsteps kept sounding out.
A night breeze blew past.
A faint chill lingered in the night air.
Mai Sakurajima pressed closer against Lin Ye.
About thirty minutes later,
Lin Ye and Mai Sakurajima finished their walk and returned to the apartment.
Realizing what was about to happen, Mai Sakurajima's voice grew a little tense. "I'll go take a shower first,"
But Lin Ye caught her by the wrist.
"You can shower afterward,"
"..."
Not showering first, and just starting like this? Wasn't that... not exactly ideal?
Mai Sakurajima was worried!
"Um... I could just shower twice,"
"No need. Just shower after. Trust me."
Mai Sakurajima had a thought.
This was probably one of Lin Ye's particular preferences — otherwise, there was no way he'd insist like this.
That's what Mai Sakurajima thought.
A blush rose to her face, but she didn't object either. She'd respect this particular — some might even call it strange — preference of his.
With a click, the two of them stepped into the room.
The moment she heard the lock click, Mai Sakurajima's heart began racing. Even though she'd mentally prepared herself countless times before, her heart still sped up, and nervousness crept in.
Facing Lin Ye, facing what was to come, this still-inexperienced girl couldn't help feeling nervous.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Mai Sakurajima unconsciously gripped the sheets tight, her body trembling faintly.
Lin Ye took in every bit of it.
Suppressing the smile threatening to break through, he slowly crouched down.
Swish!
He reached out and slipped off the girl's shoes.
Thud... the shoes hit the floor with a crisp sound.
Mai Sakurajima's trembling only grew stronger.
Soon, she felt Lin Ye's hand slide down over her socks.
A bit of friction,
and the socks came off.
Her soft, smooth feet were exposed to the air, looking even paler under the fluorescent light.
Mai Sakurajima felt Lin Ye's gaze grow hotter, more intense.
Her heart raced even harder.
Even though she knew the man had unusual tastes,
Mai Sakurajima instinctively drew back a little, but Lin Ye's hand immediately closed around her ankle.
"Senpai, you'd better brace yourself for what's coming."
"Uh, mm!"
She let out a small sound of assent, her toes already curling tight.
Facing what was about to happen, she'd fully steeled herself.
Next, it was time.
Before long,
a faint tickling sensation brushed against her foot.
Every nerve in Mai Sakurajima's body tensed up at the stimulation. She gripped the sheets hard, eyes squeezed shut.
Lin Ye then used both hands to steady the girl, easing her down flat onto the bed.
This action made Mai Sakurajima even more nervous — she could now clearly hear her own racing heartbeat, thump, thump, thump, pounding nonstop.
So thrilling.
She didn't dare open her eyes, didn't want to know at all what Lin Ye was about to do to her.
And with her eyes shut, she only grew more sensitive to everything.
Even though this wasn't the first time she'd been intimate with Lin Ye, this — whatever this was — was still something she couldn't quite brace for.
She really wasn't going to be able to hold out.
Just this touch alone already had her completely undone; if it got any more intense, then...
"Mmh..."
Mai Sakurajima felt a sudden itch shoot through the sole of her foot.
And right on its heels came an even stronger jolt.
A ticklish sensation unlike anything she'd ever experienced kept assaulting the sole of her foot.
"Mmm, mmm..."
She tensed up even harder,
gritting through it, assuming Lin Ye simply enjoyed this method.
But she lasted less than ten seconds before giving up, thrashing and finally opening her eyes. "Okay, okay, Lin-kun, stop tickling me, hahaha..."
She laughed as she said it, a warning.
But Lin Ye kept going as if he hadn't even heard her.
"We've only just started — how could it end already!"
Mai Sakurajima was stunned.
"I told you, didn't I — Mai, you're definitely going to beg for mercy. I'm waiting for that moment,"
Only then did Mai Sakurajima realize what Lin Ye had actually meant.
The 'begging for mercy' Lin Ye wanted wasn't the thing she'd been imagining at all.
"You, you... hahahaha... stop, don't tickle... me anymore."
But Lin Ye didn't let up, not until a few minutes later when the girl finally begged for mercy — only then did he let her catch her breath.
"Mai, I told you so."
"You... jerk,"
Mai Sakurajima was furious!
She was laughing so hard her stomach ached, cramping, her whole body drained of strength.
If she'd had any energy left — and if she could actually beat Lin Ye — she'd have loved to give him a proper thrashing, make him experience exactly what she'd just gone through.
"Yep, I'm a jerk. Let's continue,"
"Don't..."
But her refusal did nothing, and Lin Ye gave Mai Sakurajima a few more minutes of that treatment.
The girl with long black hair lay sprawled limply on the bed, utterly spent.
This time, she was angry, furious even, but she didn't even have the strength left to speak.
"Want more?"
Mai Sakurajima glared at him, letting out a huff.
"Then let's keep going..."
"Don't,"
She managed to force the word out, her bright eyes glistening with moisture.
That gaze — a thousand shades of shimmer in it.
Lin Ye reached out and stroked the girl's cheek. "All right, that's enough for today,"
"You... did you do this... to Yukinoshita too?"
She stared at Lin Ye, demanding an answer.
If she'd experienced this and Yukinoshita hadn't,
then she'd feel it was terribly unfair.
She'd be even more furious about it.
