Of course, Lord Chen didn't mind. Both of them agreed, so would he still be a man if he minded?
"I don't care…" he replied, feigning indifference.
"Yay! Then it's happily decided!" Chisato Nishikigi almost jumped up in joy.
"Alright then…" Tohru pursed her lips and nodded.
Lord Chen noticed her expression; she seemed a little sulky, clearly not very willing, or perhaps she hadn't fully processed it yet.
Even now, she was still half-heartedly convinced by Chisato Nishikigi's twisted logic.
This wasn't good for future developments. Chisato Nishikigi was a bit too eager, probably without thinking much.
It seemed he still had to rely on himself.
Up on the second floor, Lord Chen had Tohru show Chisato Nishikigi around while he took a shower first.
However, halfway through his shower, Chisato Nishikigi suddenly came to the bathroom door.
"Chen ge, Chen ge, do you want me to scrub your back?" Chisato Nishikigi's voice outside the door was very excited.
She really adapted quickly; reserve probably wasn't in her dictionary.
"Chisato! Why are you here?" Lord Chen was startled and hurriedly turned his back to the door, but then immediately remembered the bathroom was locked from the inside.
After all, he was afraid Tohru might suddenly barge in before.
This wasn't about that kind of issue; he just personally disliked being disturbed while showering.
"Hehe~ I've already familiarized myself with our home." Chisato Nishikigi outside the door tried the doorknob, but it wouldn't open.
"Chen ge, why did you lock the door?"
"…" Lord Chen couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Didn't she know what personal space was?
They had only met today; even if he was very familiar with her, he couldn't be this overly familiar.
She, on the other hand, just because his future self saved her ten years ago, didn't even know each other for a few minutes, yet after ten years, it was as if they had been together for ten years.
She was too proactive!
Thankfully, he liked proactive girls, otherwise, he might not be able to handle it.
"Isn't it normal to lock the door when showering?" Lord Chen replied.
"But aren't we all family here?"
"Family also needs to lock the door."
"Chen ge isn't guarding against me, is he? How can you be like this? If I were showering, I wouldn't lock the door to guard against Chen ge."
"I can't be as overly familiar as you."
"Hehe~ I've been missing Chen ge for ten years."
"…" Lord Chen could hear the happiness in Chisato Nishikigi's tone.
He thought for a moment and suddenly understood Chisato Nishikigi's behavior. If he had also missed someone for ten years, he would definitely be eager to get close to them.
However, understanding was one thing, but he was a man of principles, and building a good emotional foundation was more important.
"Chisato, you don't have to be so rushed. We have plenty of time in the future. How about we take it slow?"
"Eh—" Chisato Nishikigi's voice conveyed reluctance.
"No need to rush. Don't you want to get to know me first? I don't think you got to know me much ten years ago, right? Living together, going out together, playing together, isn't it better to take it one step at a time?"
"What Chen ge said seems to make some sense…"
"Right? And I haven't gotten to know you well yet. I also want to know how you've been doing these past ten years."
"Chen ge wants to know me? I understand."
"That's a good girl… Where's Tohru?" Lord Chen smiled and changed the subject.
"Tohru seems to have gone to warm up the bed."
"...She didn't know you came to find me?"
"She knew, but she didn't seem to care… I see, she knew I couldn't get in." Chisato Nishikigi suddenly realized.
Lord Chen chuckled and shook his head; he really thought Tohru was that silly.
"Chen ge, then you take your time showering. I'm also going to warm up the bed; I can't let the bed only have her scent."
After Chisato Nishikigi finished speaking, she left the bathroom directly and without hesitation, Lord Chen didn't even have time to call out to her.
Her decisiveness was truly strong.
Lord Chen inexplicably smiled; the house seemed to have become lively.
He really liked this feeling; living alone before was too boring.
Then Lord Chen finished showering, put on his pajamas neatly, and returned to his room.
As expected, as soon as Lord Chen stepped into the door, he saw two beautiful young girls lying on his bed.
Tohru was no different, lying on her side, pajamas plus a large tail, but Chisato Nishikigi made Lord Chen's eyebrows twitch uncontrollably.
Neither of them had a blanket covering them, and she was lying straight on the bed, but only had two basic pieces of clothing on.
Pure white, the material looked very soft, and there were ruffles, making it look very cute.
However, Chisato Nishikigi's skin was even fairer, with delicate collarbones, a flat and fair stomach, and a slightly protruding lower abdomen, subtly gleaming, delicate and smooth, making Lord Chen widen his eyes.
She had her legs straight; her legs were not thin, but also not thick, perfectly proportioned and long, straight and firm like jade pillars.
It was estimated that one kick could leave someone half-dead.
The beauty of the young girl was fully displayed, as exquisite as a masterpiece. Lord Chen didn't mind looking at her indefinitely, if Tohru wasn't there.
"Chisato, why are you like this?" Lord Chen patted his forehead and asked helplessly.
"Eh? Aren't we going to sleep?" Chisato Nishikigi retorted.
"But you are…"
"Understood, I need to strip naked, right?" Chisato Nishikigi said, then sat up and reached her hand behind her back.
"Wait!"
"What are you doing!" Tohru immediately grabbed her hand to stop her.
"Taking them off."
"Lord Chen doesn't mean that!"
"What do you mean? Do I take off the bottom first?"
"Stop pretending, be honest with me!" Tohru said angrily.
"Hehe~ Alright." Chisato Nishikigi smiled sheepishly and behaved.
Lord Chen shook his head: "I almost forgot, you haven't bought your things yet, but we can't buy them now."
"It's fine." Chisato Nishikigi waved her hand carelessly: "I can just sleep like this."
"...How can that be fine? Where are your things? You just came with me today, where were you living before?"
"I just returned from Huaguo, so I don't have anything." Chisato Nishikigi replied.
"I see… Then you can use my pajamas for now. Thankfully, I bought two sets… You shouldn't mind…"
"Of course not!" Chisato Nishikigi immediately replied excitedly.
"Eh? Lord Chen, then can I also wear your pajamas?" Tohru quickly asked.
"...There are no more." Lord Chen spread his hands helplessly.
"How can this be… Oh, right, how about you, Chisato, wear mine?"
"No way! And yours are a bit big for me." Chisato Nishikigi decisively refused.
"Ugh…" Tohru was on the verge of tears.
"It's just for one night. What are you two doing? Chisato, go take a shower quickly."
"Got it!"
Chisato Nishikigi quickly got out of bed, and just like that, barefoot and wearing her basic outfit, she brushed past Lord Chen.
"I'll be back soon."
"You don't have to be that quick…"
Whether it was Lord Chen's imagination or not, he could distinctly smell Chisato Nishikigi's unique scent.
It was faint, an indescribable fragrance, but it smelled quite good.
It must be because his nose was too sensitive.
Only after Chisato Nishikigi left the room did Lord Chen walk towards the bed. Tohru was still downcast.
Not being able to wear Lord Chen's pajamas didn't matter, but having Chisato Nishikigi get them first did.
Lord Chen found it amusing, climbed onto the bed, and gently rubbed her head.
Her pair of dragon horns were very hard and occupied a significant area of her head, somewhat hindering his petting.
"Are you that sad?"
"Ugh… I've never worn Lord Chen's pajamas." Tohru looked up, pouting pitifully.
"Can't you just wear them later?"
"But… the first time was taken by Chisato."
"It's just pajamas…" Lord Chen shook his head, amused.
"The main thing is that everything of Lord Chen's is important!" Tohru retorted discontentedly.
"Then… am I important?"
"Eh? Of course, you're not as important as Lord Chen."
"Then aren't I right here? Why do you still want my pajamas?" Lord Chen asked.
"But Lord Chen is so conservative…" Tohru pouted, turning her head away as if angry.
"Conservative, huh." Lord Chen's lips curved upwards.
"Then you sit up first."
"What is Lord Chen going to do?" Tohru obediently sat up, facing Lord Chen, her tail lying on the edge of the bed behind her.
He wondered if it was bothering her.
"Today, I'm going to let you know that I am not conservative." Lord Chen reached out and slowly cupped Tohru's face.
"Eh?" Tohru paused for a moment, then reacted, looking at Lord Chen excitedly.
"Lord Chen?"
"Close your eyes." Lord Chen said softly.
Tohru obediently closed her eyes.
Lord Chen's gaze fell on her lips, bright and lustrous, small and pink, like two petals.
They looked very soft.
Lord Chen didn't hesitate, tilted his head closer, and slowly pressed against her. The instant of contact, the softness reached his heart, a soul-like beauty that enchanted him.
Although he was very intoxicated, Lord Chen intended it to be a light touch, but before he could pull away, Tohru suddenly opened her eyes, then wrapped her arms around his neck and held him tightly.
Turning defense into offense.
Lord Chen: "Mmm!"
