This small hotel is called Ishidaya. It has a total of 11 independent rooms. The ancient building is very well maintained. You can feel the passage of time and witness the magic of time.

The wood and stone have been polished to have their own traces and flavors. Together with the Japanese dolls and antique-level furnishings arranged in the public space, they tell everyone that hundreds of years are just a snap here.

These 11 rooms are divided into four levels according to their area, but each room has a luxurious outdoor private bath. The ancient sense of history and the privacy of the independent courtyard allow you to nostalgic for the past and relax your body and mind.

On days when the snow is falling in early winter, you can soak in the hot springs and listen to the sound of snow falling on the flowers in the courtyard.

At that time, the room arrangement is as follows:

Ninomiya Kazuya and Ito Ayako share a room.

It’s a miracle that Sugata Masaki and Nanao haven’t separated for so long.

Sharing a room with Tian Liangzi and his daughter.

Hori Mina and Saito Asuka share a room.

Seeing them go to their rooms one by one under the leadership of the waiter, the only ones left were Ye Xiao and Nishino Nanase.

"Na-chan, let's share a room."

"Eh? Isn't there an extra room available?"

"Today is Christmas Eve, there are no vacancies."

"How about... let me get together with them?"

"That's very inconvenient. You don't want to disturb others, right?"

...

"I'll help you take your luggage."

Ye Xiao couldn't help but drag Nishino's suitcase towards the room, with the waiter leading the way.

"I hope you two enjoy your stay. If you need anything, you can contact us on the landline." The waiter said and bowed before exiting.

Nishino Nanase stood at the door blankly, not knowing what to do at all.

How did things develop to this point? Did the teacher do it on purpose?

"Hello, may I ask?" Mr. Nishino walked into the room with his suitcase and ran two steps to catch up with the waiter.

"Is there really no room available?"

"There's more."

"Eh?"

"I wish you both a pleasant stay!" The waiter bowed his head and left with a slight curve in the corner of his mouth.

Nishino Nanase was stunned on the spot. The teacher was indeed lying to her. There were obviously rooms available, but he said there were no rooms.

Although it is not that I have been alone with the teacher, but... this is the first time outside, and what if Hori Mina and the others find out?

Rather than worrying about a man and a woman living alone in the same room, it is more about worrying about the eyes of others.

After all, her profession is to expose herself, so there are many things she needs to worry about.

The teacher was really over the top and didn't care what she thought at all.

"Na-chan, what are you doing standing outside? Isn't it cold?" Ye Xiao walked around the house alone. Although the house is small, it has all the necessary features and is in a typical Japanese style. It feels very warm to live in it.

In the backyard, nestled among the vegetation and rocks, is the hotel’s flagship outdoor private bath.

Soak in the warm hot spring water with your loved one, wander in the beautiful mountain scenery, breathe in the fresh forest air, and on a clear day, you can look up and see the stars in the night sky.

That feeling is really great.

"Isn't it very cold?" Nishino Nanase looked around, wondering if he should ask the teacher to share a room and sleep in it?

Will this make the teacher unhappy?

The girl was caught in a dilemma.

Ye Xiao thought to himself, was he too aggressive?

"How about you stay in the next room?"

"Ah, is there no one over there?" Nishino Nanase asked in surprise.

Ye Xiao nodded and went back to his room to call the hotel attendant to make arrangements.

After Nishino Nanase was settled, Ye Xiao went back to the room alone, thinking that this cold winter was really lonely, empty and cold.

I probably stayed alone for a while, feeling half asleep and half awake.

"Teacher, are you there? I'm coming in!"

A girl's voice came from outside the house. Ye Xiao lay on his back on the tatami and squinted his eyes.

A girl wearing a plaid hooded woolen coat stood in front of him, her tender face flushed by the cold wind.

Because he was lying on the tatami and looking up from this angle, Koze had a completely different feeling than usual.

"What else are you doing here?"

"Is the teacher angry?" Nishino Nanase ran to Ye Xiao's side, squatted down and asked nervously.

"No."

"The teacher is obviously angry. I didn't mean not to be in the same room with the teacher. It's just that...it's not good if Weiona, Asuka and the others see it." Nishino Nanase quickly explained.

"Don't explain, you obviously hate me." Ye Xiao said and deliberately turned over, turning his back to the girl, showing that he was very angry.

As a man, you just need to have some character, you can't just be a licker.

"If the teacher doesn't believe it, there's nothing I can do, so I'll go back first." Nishino Nanase said, moving his position and secretly hiding in the blind spot above Ye Xiao's head.

Ye Xiao only pretended for a moment, but couldn't pretend anymore.

Because it's too quiet.

After finally arriving at Kusatsu Hot Spring Hotel, he didn't want to be alone all the time.

Lonely people are shameful.

"Na-chan?"

He turned around suddenly and saw only the warm-colored patterns on the opposite wall.

Going so fast?

He sat up from the tatami, and just as he stood up to chase after him, he felt a warm fragrance surrounding him.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?" Nishino Nanase's unique soft Kansai accent came from behind, with a rustling tone.

Ye Xiao's heart almost melted. He turned over and pushed the girl down on the tatami.

"Na-chan, are you playing with me?"

"It's just a joke. I think the teacher seems very anxious." Nishino Nanase pursed her lips and snickered.

As expected, the teacher still looked that sinister. He was obviously not angry at all, but he pretended to be angry to scare her!

Although her poor acting skills were seen through at a glance.

She clearly captured the look on her face that was hurt by sleeping in a separate room.

The teacher seems to really like me.

That look cannot be faked.

"Na-chan, do you know?"

"What?"

"You're really cute."

"Everyone knows that I'm cute..."

"It's not ordinary cuteness, it's the cutest kind in the world. I have never seen a cuter girl than Hina-chan."

"Then...does the teacher like me?"

"In this world, the person I love most is you."

Unable to resist, complete failure, all in the shy smile of Kose who was so close.

Completely melted.

In that blushing face.

Ye Xiao seemed to see peach blossoms.

If there are four seasons in life, then in this old hot spring hotel and simple Japanese-style room.

The moment when Ye Xiao held Nishino Nanase was the spring of his life.

Nishino Nanase closed her eyes for a long time, but there was no movement at all.

She secretly opened her eyes, and the man's lips were on hers.
