Shizuka Hiratsuka's words immediately made Yukinoshita Haruno on the other end of the phone realize what had happened, and she couldn't help but smile: "So that's how it is. Congratulations, Shizuka, you've finally taken a step further in your relationship with Su Rui."
"Ah, um, thank you. Wait, I called to question you!" Shizuka Hiratsuka first habitually thanked the other person for their congratulations, then realized her purpose, gritting her teeth as she questioned: "I called you then to find out how to get along with Su Rui, but you were already eating at that time, and you were even talking to me, who hadn't eaten yet, while you were eating? Are you deliberately humiliating me?"
"I'm sorry, Shizuka, I was wrong. Aren't you also talking to me while you're eating now?" Yukinoshita Haruno on the other end of the phone immediately expressed her sincere and pitiful apology to Shizuka Hiratsuka, showing no bad attitude of knowing her mistake but not correcting it.
This immediate admission of fault made it difficult for Shizuka Hiratsuka to get angry.
After a brief awkwardness, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was still climbing, could no longer maintain her questioning demeanor towards Yukinoshita Haruno.
However, she still expressed dissatisfaction with Yukinoshita Haruno's previous call to her: "Just an apology isn't enough. Anyway, where are you now? What are you doing?"
"Don't worry, Shizuka, I'm in the office now, and I'm the only one processing documents. No one will come in to disturb me."
Yukinoshita Haruno seemed to know what Shizuka Hiratsuka wanted to say and spoke directly: "I won't hang up until you say I can, and I'll answer every one of your questions until you're satisfied, Shizuka. Is that okay?"
"...That's more like it."
Yukinoshita Haruno's overly sincere apology made Shizuka Hiratsuka a little embarrassed, but to get revenge, she still placed her phone next to Su Rui's cheek, looking down at him, and also reprimanded him.
"You immodest fellow, you actually cheated because of another woman's temptation. Now that I've caught you, don't you have anything to say?"
"...I was wrong? I'll make it up to you later."
Su Rui and Shizuka Hiratsuka stared straight at each other, and after thinking for a long time, he could only come up with this one comforting method.
But in reality, looking into Su Rui's eyes, Shizuka Hiratsuka's anger somehow almost disappeared by more than half. She liked this condescending posture of hers.
Although Su Rui could actually throw her away at any time, this act of weakness, enduring for her sake, satisfied Shizuka Hiratsuka's inner preference. After staring at Su Rui and thinking for a while, she couldn't help but lower her head, hug Su Rui's cheeks, and give him several fierce kisses.
Su Rui touched the moisture left on his cheek from the kisses and wasn't very clear about the reason for Shizuka Hiratsuka's actions.
A simple, brief contact between lips and cheek can indeed experience the softness of the cheek, but this, in reality, isn't very interesting, is it?
Moreover, Shizuka Hiratsuka's pecking motion, to be honest, was a bit funny.
Although Su Rui was in the first person, just thinking about Shizuka Hiratsuka's actions just now, pecking his cheek back and forth like a chick, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey, what's so funny! I'm going to get angry!" Shizuka Hiratsuka was also a little shy because of Su Rui's smile and couldn't help but slap him, but then couldn't bear to actually hit him and only playfully patted Su Rui's arm.
"Nothing funny, but Shizuka, it's going to rain next."
Su Rui looked into Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes and said something that puzzled her in a slightly meaningful tone.
"Ah? What are you going to do?" Although she didn't understand, Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed to realize that Su Rui wanted to take the initiative, so she immediately pressed his wrist, forcefully demanding: "Don't move. It's agreed that it's my turn now, and you've already secretly eaten with Haruno behind my back, so wouldn't it be good to compensate me a little? I can agree to your requests later too!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka's offensive, using threats, coquetry, and pleading all at once, still affected Su Rui.
After a slight hesitation, he did not resist, allowing Shizuka Hiratsuka to take the initiative like an older sister who completely suppressed him, leading him to climb the mountain in different ways.
Fortunately, although Su Rui was not very accustomed to this method, at this time, Shizuka Hiratsuka herself did not have much physical strength left, and after a while, she pulled Su Rui to the top of the mountain together.
"...Su Rui~" After reaching the top of the mountain, Shizuka Hiratsuka lay in Su Rui's arms, speaking weakly.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Su Rui calmly embraced Shizuka Hiratsuka's back, waiting for her to continue.
"I'm hungry."
"I'll get you something to eat."
"Wait a moment." Shizuka Hiratsuka reached out and grabbed Su Rui's wrist again.
"Is there anything else?" Su Rui patiently turned his head, waiting for Shizuka Hiratsuka to express her thoughts little by little.
"I, it's just, you still want me to listen to you later, right? What if we get caught if we go now?" Shizuka Hiratsuka's cheeks flushed, and she didn't dare to look into Su Rui's eyes: "I know it's a bit inappropriate to still be thinking about that after climbing the mountain, but you said it before."
"I know, don't worry, I have my own way." Su Rui couldn't help but smile at Shizuka Hiratsuka's rare shy appearance, reaching out to stroke Shizuka Hiratsuka's slightly messy cheek.
Warm spiritual power was transmitted by Su Rui to Shizuka Hiratsuka, restoring her physical strength and sweeping away all her soreness.
In just a few seconds, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had been like a puddle of mud just now, immediately regained her vitality and even stood up and struck a bodybuilding pose.
"Alright, hurry up and get ready. Let's go down and eat something first, and then we still have the second half of the game to play."
"Alright, I won't lose in the second half either!" Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled broadly at Su Rui, stood on the bed, leaned down and kissed Su Rui who was standing on the floor, and then covered herself with the quilt like a child.
"Hurry up."
Su Rui patted the quilt, which was like a small hill, quickly tidied his clothes with spiritual power, and then stood at the room door waiting for Shizuka Hiratsuka.
"Alright, alright, I'm ready, but, will there be a strange smell?" Shizuka Hiratsuka came to Su Rui, somewhat shyly sniffing herself.
"It's fine, I just cleaned it with spiritual power. Hurry up and go down, aren't you hungry?"
"Okay! I'm going to eat a lot of things, and then after I replenish my physical strength, I'll let you see how amazing I am!" Shizuka Hiratsuka showed a confident smile, not knowing that Su Rui was also preparing to let her see how amazing he was.
It seems that he gave her too much confidence by letting her take the initiative earlier. It's time to let her suffer a bit.
At this moment, Yukinoshita Haruno's phone was still connected, and she on the other end of the phone smiled helplessly: "It seems I've been forgotten?"
