Girl Band, Gravity Capture

Page 70

—"What if one day, Heo Doo-jun starts dating a girl...?"

At that time, her answer was firm and certain. Because she believed that Yuan Xudou would not abandon everyone and leave, the girl had never worried about such a thing.

But... Su Shi, Su Shi...

At this moment, the emotion surging in Gao Songdeng's heart was not the panic of having something precious about to be taken away.

And Yue/Yi e-厁死0qi贰二是⑻逝 is someone who discovered the star that should have belonged to them, but gave the beautiful light they had never seen before to others...

The innocent girl did not feel jealousy or resentment.

There was no shouting, no dejection, no escaping reality.

She simply gazed at the two embracing each other with an envious, somewhat pitiful look, like a child staring longingly at the toys in other children's hands while their own palms were empty.

'...I want one too...'

Wanting to be hugged by him, wanting to be caressed by him, wanting to be kissed by him... wanting more and more of everything... piling up little by little, eventually forming an absolutely unbreakable bond.

The girl wanted everything he could give her.

So pure, so gentle without any aggression, yet so profound, like an abyss from which there is no escape.

Such thoughts slowly took root in the girl's heart.

After a long while, the two inside the room finally stopped kissing.

Takamatsu watched them snuggle together for a while, then Gen Xudou picked up Nagasaki Motoyo, who was breathing heavily and whose skin was flushed with a bright red, and sat down on the bed with her.

Afraid that her spying would be discovered by the perceptive boy once she broke out of that immersive state, the girl quickly took a step back, held her breath, and looked away.

Fortunately, it seems no one noticed her presence.

Just when Takamatsu thought it was the end and was preparing to take one last look before leaving.

The two, sitting shoulder to shoulder with their hands clasped tightly, made another move.

Gen Xudou took off his shoes and lay down on the bed. Using pleading and coquetry to gain the upper hand, Nagasaki Motoyo straddled his waist, her fair and rounded legs clamping together.

Her long, flowing brown hair cascaded down like a curtain; her delicate hands cupped her lover's handsome face, and with a gentle smile, she leaned down, her face drawing closer—

'...Ugh!'

Tormented by the sudden pain in his abdomen, and with beads of sweat on his forehead, Takamatsu Akira finally couldn't continue.

At the same time, it was also to escape everything that he no longer wanted to see.

She pursed her lips, clamped her legs together, and, supporting herself against the wall, shakily left through the doorway.

A few minutes later, when she returned from picking flowers, she tiptoed back to the gate of Yuan Xudou.

The door was already tightly closed.

Takamatsu Akari didn't even know if the evening breeze had naturally lifted the door, or if Nagasaki Motoyo had closed it when she returned to her room after her rendezvous, or if the two of them had noticed the unusual activity and closed the door...

But no matter what, the tightly closed door was like an insurmountable chasm, ruthlessly separating the world inside from the world outside.

We have no idea whether they are still continuing, or what stage they have reached...

...She was even deprived of the right to be a bystander.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Coast Finally Arrived

the next day.

Since they had agreed to go to the beach this morning, all six of them got up early to prepare for washing up and breakfast.

"Deng, you don't look like you slept well... Are you okay?"

Spitting out the mouthwash, Shiina Tatsuki turned her head with some concern to Takamatsu Akari, whose eyes had been half-open since early morning and who was clearly not in good spirits, and asked her with concern.

Unlike Gao Songdeng, she slept well yesterday. The bed in the villa was much more comfortable than the one at her own home, and before she could even worry about whether she would be able to sleep in a different bed, the girl fell asleep wrapped in the soft duvet.

With the pleasant and uplifting comments made by Genjiro Toru as nourishment for her memories, Shiina Tatsuki felt she had never been so full of energy.

"Ah...it's okay."

Startled by the sudden concern, Gao Songdeng hesitated for a moment before shaking his head.

Her appearance was even more worrying... but since she herself said there was no problem, Shiina Ritsuki couldn't continue the topic.

Anyway, Xu Dou is still here.

If something really happened, he couldn't just sit idly by—with this thought in mind, the girl chose to remain silent.

"Everyone, breakfast is almost ready!"

"right away!"

Having gotten up first, Toyokawa Shoko, who was waiting in the living room, greeted him with her usual energetic voice from outside the bathroom. Replacing Takamatsu Akari, Shiina Tatsuki looked up and responded loudly in unison.

After washing up, the two walked out of the bathroom and saw Yuan Xudou carrying the last dish of food out of the kitchen.

He placed the tray on the long table, a mix of Western, Japanese, and Chinese styles to ensure everyone's taste was satisfied. The fragrant breakfast immediately caught Shiina Tatsuki's attention.

She walked quickly and impatiently, leaving Gao Songdeng, who was walking slowly with his head down, naturally behind her by a distance.

Yuan Xudou, who got up early to tidy himself up and then stayed in the kitchen to cook breakfast, unsurprisingly noticed her unusual behavior.

He quickened his pace and walked up to Gao Songdeng. As usual, he reached out and touched the girl's gray hair, his soft and clear voice ringing out.

"Didn't sleep well?"

The same problem as Shiina Tatsuki.

Takamatsu looked up at the boy who was watching him with concern.

As always, she exudes a peaceful and reassuring atmosphere, possessing a beautiful and unique temperament.

Unable to lie to him, Takamatsu lowered her head, her amber pupils dim, and nodded listlessly.

It wasn't physical fatigue, but rather a general sense of mental exhaustion.

But after being comforted by the boy, she cheered up a bit. At least now the girl knew that Yuan Xudou hadn't discovered her peeping outside the door last night, which relieved her of a minor but significant worry.

As for the second unresolved issue...

Takamatsu Akari quietly looked up, past Genjiro's figure, and looked at Nagasaki Motoyo behind him. Her expression was as gentle as ever, her gait was normal, and she was distributing tableware to everyone with a happy and expectant smile.

Nothing has changed.

It was as if the scene she witnessed last night—the alluring, infatuated girl and the passionate, assertive boy locked in a tender kiss—was nothing more than a figment of her imagination from a nightmare. Upon waking, it all vanished like smoke.

...But it couldn't have been a dream. All the remaining senses and memories told Takamatsu that this was an undeniable fact.

But at least, at least... nothing has changed.

Xu Dou still cared about her and would come to ask her about it as soon as he noticed something was wrong. Su Shi remained as considerate and generous as ever, and did not publicize anything outrageous in front of everyone.

'...That's right, I won't leave—'

As long as I find the opportunity to do the same thing... then there won't be any problems.

It will not be taken away, nor will it be monopolized. The stars that belong to her still shine with the same light in her sky.

The girl, finally feeling at ease, rubbed her palm affectionately against the boy's and smiled faintly.

"It's much better now."

"That's good."

Sensing that Gao Songdeng wasn't just putting on a brave face and that her energy and spirits had indeed improved considerably, Yuan Xudou, relieved, took her hand and led her to the dining table.

After breakfast, everyone began packing their belongings to take to the beach.

Swimsuits and swimming rings go without saying, but beach activities are not limited to swimming.

Moreover, if they don't prepare and spend the entire holiday in the sun without any cover... not to mention the risk of direct sunburn, they'll probably be several shades darker when they get back, and there's also a chance of heatstroke.

It was completely unacceptable for this situation to occur, so the girls, who valued skincare extremely highly, naturally brought a full set of sun protection products.

At this moment, each of them wore a rustic woven straw hat and sunglasses, trying to minimize the amount of sunlight falling on them.

Yuan Xudou, carrying large and small bags, didn't particularly care about such things—he was the type who wouldn't get tanned easily, and being young and healthy, the possibility of him getting heatstroke even after a day of sunbathing was close to zero.

However, at everyone's insistence, he still changed into the same decorations.

The main reason was to maintain a unified style, and the boy wearing the straw hat also looked refreshingly simple, which pleased everyone.

According to Xiangzi, there are small houses on the beach specifically for storing supplies and changing clothes; all they need to do is bring their luggage and take care of the rest there. It seems there's a special "surprise" waiting for them on the beach.

The journey wasn't far, and with everyone walking quickly in anticipation, the boundless blue sea, just like the sky, appeared before them after about twenty minutes.

And then... the inevitable scene of playing at the beach unfolds.

"Alright, everyone."

They each took off their shoes and socks, arranging them neatly to the side to prevent sand from getting in. Toyokawa Shoko stepped her delicate white feet into the beach, feeling the wonderful sensation of the fine sand washing over her insteps, and closed her eyes contentedly.

Then, she turned around happily and looked at the five people who were also walking barefoot on the beach, experiencing this novel sensation.

The sunny and cheerful voice, as if anticipating what was about to happen, carried a hint of mischief and joy, and clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

"The changing room is over there."

Her bare, white forearm rose and pointed to a wooden house not far away.

With a light smile, Toyokawa Shoko uttered these words in a cheerful tone.

"Next, please go change into your swimsuit?"

Chapter 100 "Letting you touch me... is fine too"

"Well……"

"What, what are you doing?"

"No, I just didn't expect that you, Lixi, have such a good figure... I never could tell normally."

Wearing a conservative light purple halter-neck swimsuit similar in color to her hair, Shiina Ritsuki, who was intentionally or unintentionally covering her sensitive areas with her hands, coldly questioned Toyokawa Shoko, who came out of the changing room with her.

In contrast, Toyokawa Shoko, wearing a pristine white swimsuit with lace trim that exposed large expanses of her snow-white skin, looked much more relaxed. She openly surveyed Shiina Tatsuki's attire before uttering words tinged with envy.

Given that Shiina Riki has a relatively tall and slender figure and a cool and serious demeanor, it's hard to imagine that beneath her usually tightly wrapped clothes, she actually has the second largest bust among the five girls.

As for who is number one... the answer is obvious.

"..."

Silently following the two, Wakaba Mutsu looked down at her own bottom-ranked chest, which barely supported any shape or movement, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her golden pupils.

Her figure is only good enough for a cute style. Not to mention compared to Nagasaki Motoyo, who is far ahead of her peers and not even in the same league, she is still quite far behind even Shoko and Akari, who are third and fourth.

Peaks and cliffs... while not quite a despairing contrast, they are indeed not far apart.

Fortunately... the most crucial person didn't seem to have any particular preference for size. Therefore, the three girls could calmly treat it as a topic of casual conversation.

Besides them, Yuan Xudou and two others who had changed their clothes earlier were setting up equipment on the beach not far away.

"Then, let's hurry over and lend a hand?"

"Let's go."

After getting used to the feeling of most of her skin being exposed to the light for a while, Shiina Ritsuki gradually relaxed and was no longer so restrained, and nodded in agreement.

Three shallow footprints were left on the beach, reflecting the bright white light, and the group slowly approached the boy's location.

Just as they were about to arrive, Shiina Tatsuki suddenly felt a little nervous.

It wasn't that she was resistant; showing her swimsuit to Yuan Xudou was something she had been mentally prepared for ever since she agreed to join this beach retreat. Although they were of different genders, their closeness was enough to dispel her unease.

...And, it's not impossible that she might have thoughts like wanting to show off her feminine charm to the other person.

In 【CryCHIC】, the five women share a pure friendship and a sisterly bond. However, when it comes to Yuan Xudou, the only and special person they encounter, each of them harbors their own hidden thoughts.
