I don't know how long it took before Akane Benisaka woke up.

The thick eyelashes quivered slightly, dancing like butterfly wings.

What came into view was darkness.

"Hiss~"

She gasped in pain, her lower body felt hot, and her lower abdomen also felt a little sore.

Where is this?

She looked at her surroundings doubtfully, making identification in the darkness.

A passive and slow-working brain slowly wakes up bit by bit from a blank and confused state, just like a computer starting from a dormant state.

Bathroom, hot water, theoretical mechanics...

"Damn theoretical mechanics...!"

Akane Benisaka cursed angrily, her voice hoarse and weak.

At this moment, in the dead of night, only her own voice echoed in her ears.

"..."

After waiting for a long time, Benisaka Akane didn't hear any sound. A slight worry appeared on her arrogant and strong face, and she couldn't help but want to sit up from the bed.

However, when she first wanted to take action, she found that her arms were numb as if they did not belong to her, and it was very difficult to even move her fingers.

That's not all.

When she began to concentrate and examine herself, she realized that her entire body was extremely heavy, like a patient recovering from a serious illness, her whole body was sore and weak.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of the door opening suddenly coming from the entrance, followed by a cat's meow and the sound of the door being closed, which was deliberately suppressed.

She followed the sound and looked over.

Under the small light source at the entrance, Kato Yusuke walked in softly, holding the black cat in his left hand and a plastic bag in his right hand.

The next moment, the two people on the bed and under the bed looked at each other.

"……Um?"

After being stunned for a while, Kato Yusuke put down the black cat, then walked to the bed and sat down, "So you're awake, little auntie."

"..."

Akane Benisaka glared at him, her brows raised in the middle, her voice cold: "Why am I here...?"

"Huh? Don't you remember?"

Kato Yusuke raised one eyebrow slightly with a subtle expression.

"Because you fell asleep while taking a shower, so I helped you clean up and then put you on the bed."

"Where are my clothes!"

"Your underwear got wet, so I threw it in the washing machine and folded the others and put them in the bathroom."

Akane Hongsaka shrank into the quilt, her brows furrowed deeper, "...you just hold me like this?"

"How can it be?"

Kato Yusuke couldn't help laughing and said: "What if you catch a cold? I wrapped a bath towel for you at the time."

The air conditioner in the room whirred, sending warm air.

Akane Hongsaka narrowed her eyes and asked again: "What time is it now?"

"Ten forty-five, you must have slept for about half an hour."

"...What did you do again?"

"Well...because you didn't seem to be feeling well, I went to the drugstore to buy some anti-swelling medicine." Yusuke Kato touched his nose and took the medicine out of the plastic bag.

Hearing this, Akane Kurisaka became very angry and said with a sneer: "Don't be so hypocritical here, you were not soft at all when you used it."

Kato Yusuke scratched his cheek and said, "It's my fault today. To make up for it, I'll help you apply medicine first."

Akane Hongsaka was slightly stunned at first, then immediately reacted and said urgently: "Wait a minute, what do you want to do? I can do that kind of thing myself!"

However, the other party ignored her and moved to the end of the bed to take action.

The quilt was lifted and the cool breeze came in.

"Hiss~"

Akane Benisaka suddenly felt a chill coming from her skin. She couldn't help but arched her body slightly and groaned: "You bastard..."

The voice is sexy and husky, very seductive.

"Don't move."

Kato Yusuke whispered like he was coaxing a child. His slender fingers were covered with cold ointment, and he slowly stirred it between the texture and spread the medicine evenly.

"..."

Anger appeared in Akane Hongsaka's eyes, but after a while, they became moist again.

She bit her lower lip tightly and clutched a corner of the quilt with a red face. Her brown-red hair was messy and spread like a waterfall, holding back the shame in her heart.

Kato Yusuke felt her nervousness, but did not make things too difficult for her, and quickly handled the matter.

"Okay, that's it."

As he spoke, he returned to the bedside, placed the ointment on the bedside table, and rubbed his fingers on his clothes to wipe away the ointment and water stains on it.

Akane Hongsaka said nothing, her face was as cold as ice, and her breath was slightly disordered.

Kato Yusuke looked at her with warm eyes, and gently stretched out a hand to help her arrange her hair carefully.

Because of this movement, Akane Benisaka's eyelashes trembled imperceptibly, and the ice in her eyes melted a little.

"...Where's my cigarette?"

"Want to smoke now?"

"Don't you let me?"

"How come? I'll get it for you."

Kato Yusuke smiled, took a cigarette, a lighter and a portable ashtray from her trench coat and helped light it.

Akane Benisaka held the cigarette between two fingers of her right hand and took a puff in unison.

After a while, a faint smell of tobacco floated in the air, and shallow sparks appeared in the arc of her hand, creating a beautiful aperture.

She narrowed her eyes in contentment, her smooth skin exuding a quiet halo in the dim light, and her brows and eyes revealed expressive beauty.

"I asked, what are you busy with lately?"

"I'm not busy with anything, just cultural festivals and workshops."

"So, how's your studio doing now?"

"Well...it hasn't started yet, but it should officially start in the next two days."

Akane Kurisaka looked at him sideways, "What about my manga? Didn't you say you wanted to speed up the progress? How long do you want me to wait?"

"I will try my best to speed up that." Kato Yusuke smiled: "I won't make my little aunt wait too long."

Akane Kurisaka curled her lips in disdain and said sarcastically: "It sounds nice now, but you were very unambiguous when dealing with Iori."

Kato Yusuke knew that she was referring to arranging for Hashishima Iori to urge her manuscript, and he had indeed not paid much attention to her recently. This was also a fact that could not be denied.

So he sincerely apologized: "Sorry, this is my problem. I will have a good chat with him later, but is that why you came?"

"What do you think?"

Akane Kurisaka slightly pursed her lips, blew a puff of smoke into his face, and mocked: "Otherwise, do you think I'm here to do housework?"

Kato Yusuke smelled the smell of tobacco lingering in front of him, couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly, and then took off his jacket.

As the zipper of the sports coat was unzipped, the perfectly sculptured male figure was exposed to the air, and he was actually wearing nothing underneath.

The movements of Akane Akane's hands stopped, and while she was looking at his well-defined chest and abdominal muscles, she asked in a low voice: "...You just wore this when you went out? Isn't it cold?"

Kato Yusuke didn't answer, casually threw his coat on the bedside table, and just looked down at her quietly.

The bright moonlight shines through the gaps in the curtains and shines on him, reflecting off his flowing white hair and his tall and toned figure.

When he looked over like this, he had a look of disdain.

Tsk…

Akane Benisaka felt a little unhappy for no reason.

She was now fully conscious, and the scene a few hours ago also appeared in her mind.

She remembers the warmth of the hot water flowing on their bodies, the slight feeling of weightlessness when she stepped on his instep, his rough and arrogant behavior, and the feeling of her retreating to the point where her mind went blank...

As she thought about it, her mood became a little turbulent. She lowered her eyes unconsciously and took a puff of cigarette pretending to be calm.

"...Anyway, I came here today to tell you something."
To be continued...
