Atago could feel that Su Xin was not far behind her, but she didn't understand why. She lowered her head and sat quietly for a while. When she couldn't help it, she secretly turned her head to look.
He turned his gaze and met the blushing girl.
"...I, I thought that when the ice melts, your underwear will also...will get wet, so I just picked one at random..."
Atago's gaze stayed on the plain white shirt for a moment, then moved to the surface of another black bra.
"Commander... do you like this one?"
"Don't say such weird things!" Su Xin came over with a frown on her face, trying very hard to show off her power. "I'm still angry with you!"
“Oh…I see. I’m so sorry.”
Su Xin opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, and then closed it angrily. The shallow lines on her lips were stretched and flattened, making her lips look very shiny.
Atago stared for a while, then silently looked away, fearing that her overly explicit gaze would drive the other person away.
The rustling sound of the plastic bag resounded, along with the little conductor's mumbling.
"Why did it condense again..."
"You should have brought some tissue paper just now." Atago mentioned casually.
Su Xin paused, pouted, stood up and went to get it, came back with the pack of tissues in her hand, put it on the ground and whispered, "...Do you need me to remind me...?"
Atago wanted to laugh but didn't dare to make a sound. She pursed her lips and tried hard to prevent her shoulders from shaking.
She listened to the tiny noises that would normally make her feel irritated, and moved her ears in a very good mood. Her black dog ears turned left and right, looking clever and cute.
After wiping the water droplets, Su Xin saw the pair of furry ears.
Itchy hands.
But business was more important. She shook her head and covered the red mark with her hand assimilated by ice. The cold feeling was a little stinging, causing Atago to gasp unconsciously.
“嘶… … ..”
"Does it hurt? If you know it hurts, don't do it next time."
"No, it's just that it got so cold all of a sudden... I was a little scared."
"I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable if I use ice cubes directly on you, so I want to let your body get used to it first."
Atago shook her ears, "Haha... I know, you are the most gentle."
"Don't play dumb." Su Xin scolded her, "If you hadn't done that, I could have been a little more gentle. But now? I can't wait to help you press it a few times."
Although the words were harsh, the hand on his shoulder did not move at all. The temperature of his palm and fingertips gradually increased, allowing Atago to feel the softness of the other person.
"...Is that about it?"
"Ah... um."
"Then I'll switch to ice cubes."
"it is good."
The softness left the body surface, and was replaced by hard coldness, which pierced the injured skin like a needle.
"Well...it hurts a little."
"Hold on, Sister Beifa is going to get the medicinal oil."
"Can't you just continue to use your hands?"
"Do you think it would be more efficient if I cooled it down for two minutes and then applied it for two minutes?"
The little girl's angry words didn't sound harsh, but rather a bit intoxicating. At least Atago hoped that Su Xin would say a few more words.
So she confessed: "Actually... I didn't do this completely for demonstration, probably... half of it was intentional, I just wanted you to come over and keep me company - ah!?"
The little commander pressed his shoulder and stared at Atago's slender neck, then thought for a moment and pressed again.
This time, Ai Da Gou didn't say a word, just endured it in silence, without even any reaction. Only the ears on the top of his head trembled, then stood up straight and then drooped.
"...Don't do that next time."
"...Um."
"Just tell me what you have to say, like Shokaku. I'm not very good at guessing, so you have to tell me... Do you understand?"
"Ah."
"Then why were you unhappy just now?"
"...jealous."
"Eh? Are you jealous? Of whom? Of Shokaku?!"
"Ah."
"But I was trying to solve her psychological problems. She looked very depressed, and I was afraid she would get upset, so I tried to guide her to talk."
"I know."
"Then you still—
"I will still be jealous." After taking off her short-sleeved shirt, Atago showed off her beautiful back. "Although I am not in a position to be jealous, I will still be jealous."
"...If you're like this, you have to eat it every day, right?"
"Yeah, especially when I saw you and Kewei running towards me, I was so jealous."
The little commander behind her fell silent, and Atago also remained silent, until a line of cold water flowed down her shoulder, over her collarbone, and squeezed in through the gap in the fabric.
"Hiss
"What, what happened? I didn't use any force, does it hurt?"
"No, it's just...the underwear you brought will come in handy soon."
"......oh."
"Commander, do you like black?"
"...I couldn't find any other colors."
"In the second drawer from the top."
"...Don't tell me!"
Atago smiled and said, "I hope you know this, and I hope there will be another chance for you to get it for me in the future."
The girl behind him was silent for a while, the water drops rolled more and more violently, wetting the edge of the cloth, and finally, she uttered a sentence.
"...I'll go downstairs and change the ice."
“In fact, I have some in the fridge here.”
"...Oh."
"Ah."
"I'll know next time."
Atago was stunned, but this time she didn't hide her smile and laughed happily.
"Haha...yeah, you'll know next time."
Chapter 993 Bad Woman
"knocking"
"Susu? Are you in there? Kewei and I are here to pick you up."
Su Xin, who was helping to apply cold compress to her shoulders in the room, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and raised her voice to respond. When she lowered her eyes and saw the beautiful back in front of her, she became a little nervous again.
She could understand Atago's subtext just now, and she also... gave the other party a rather vague promise.
But she is not yet fully prepared to cross that line, because if the mode of getting along changes too quickly, it will easily make people feel at a loss.
Su Xin is like this now, feeling a little nervous and a little confused.
She was afraid that Atago, who knew her intentions, would suddenly ask her for intimacy, such as a farewell kiss... or something like that.
Thinking about it carefully, she didn't hate him, but she couldn't do the same thing as she did to Yixian and the others.
Fortunately, Ai Dagou didn't do that. As if he would be satisfied just by hearing those few words, he raised his hand and patted the back of the little conductor's hand, then took the plastic bag containing the ice cubes.
"Okay, they're still waiting outside. I can handle the rest myself. You can go back with them."
"Eh? Oh, oh..." Su Xin didn't know why she felt a little helpless for no reason. "Then, then I... I'll come to see you next time, okay?"
Atago covered her shoulder and turned to look at her, looking up at her, with a hint of teasing in her words, "I should have been happy, but you suddenly became so distant, I would feel that I was at a disadvantage..."
Little Commander: "Well... I'm just... nervous."
Atago tilted her head back, looking unusually docile, and even though she only had ears, she looked very furry.
"You didn't promise me anything, so I won't ask you to do anything."
"When you can approach me, hug me, and even take the initiative to get close to me very naturally, our relationship will be confirmed."
"Before this, you don't need to be nervous or panic. I was in a hurry, but now I can slow down and match your pace, moving forward step by step."
Su Xin suddenly felt sour and soft-hearted.
She rubbed her pants with the hand that had pressed the ice cubes, dried it, squatted down suddenly, put her cold palm on the other person's face, and rubbed it twice.
"Well, I get it. Wait for me at the usual place tomorrow morning. If there are bruises, I'll help you rub them away. Don't do this next time, okay?"
"Well, I won't."
"Goodbye then?"
"Goodbye."
After Atago finished speaking, she watched the little commander get up and leave. When the footsteps of the few people gradually faded away and could no longer be heard, she took down the bag of ice and placed it on the table.
"Do you want to rub it? Then you can't brush the condition or apply cold compress for too long. If it gets better, won't I miss it?"
"Um... the old place..."
"Where on the bench where we met during our morning run?"
"Hmm...I'm really looking forward to it."
"What were you doing in there with her?"
Help her take care of the bruise. If she doesn't apply cold compress, it will be a big purple patch tomorrow."
"Oh..." Kewei paused for two seconds, and couldn't help asking again, "Then why don't you let her refresh her status? Isn't this the fastest way?"
"........."
"...Have you forgotten?"
"I really forgot..."
"You have a good memory, don't you? How come you forgot? Could it be that...
Guanghui shook his head and said helplessly, "Okay, Kewei, if you keep talking... everyone will know that you are jealous, right?"
Kewei's face turned red and he opened his mouth but did not rush to explain. He just glanced at the young commander and kept silent.
Su Xin also felt uncomfortable and always felt that the atmosphere was weird.
It was as if there was a trust crisis in the two families, and in two days they were going to catch the adultery...
"Is this an illusion? The frequency of its occurrence has been a bit high recently, isn't it?"
Not wanting the atmosphere to become awkward, Su Xin hurriedly explained: "Having a good memory and not being able to remember are two different things. Just like I know all the holidays, but I may still not remember them when the day comes."
Guanghui helped out: "What Susu said makes sense. You...don't become sensitive just because you haven't seen her for a few days..."
"I didn't..." Kewei retorted softly, but also calmed down.
Su Xin looked at Guanghui with gratitude, and then realized belatedly that the relationship between herself and Kewei seemed even more unclear.
Just from the brief conversation just now, it felt like a young couple quarreling and an elder trying to persuade them gently.
If this continues, even if she explains the situation seriously in the future, it will be regarded as a quarrel, right? Then won't they really become a couple in the eyes of others?
The young commander was about to think carefully about the countermeasures when he heard Kewei beside him suddenly say, "Oh, by the way, there is something I almost forgot to tell you."
"Hmm? What's up?"
