Chapter 679: Night Rain Teacher's Room
night.
Ikenami residence.
After returning from Katsuo-ji Temple, everyone who was tired from a day of viewing maple leaves returned to the hotel, some went home, and rested for a night before returning to Toudou together tomorrow.
In the master bedroom, the table lamp beside the bed was dimly lit.
The maple leaves rustled outside the window, and the October night breeze was slightly cool.
Ikeba Shizuka took off her elegant kimono and put on plain white pajamas. She leaned lazily on the head of the bed with her slender waist, her soft black hair scattered on her chest, and her slender fingers gently flipped through an old sword manual.
The halo of the desk lamp gently enveloped her, reflecting her calm and peaceful profile.
"Click——"
There was a very slight sound outside the door.
Ikebo Shizuka didn't even raise her eyelids, but just said lightly: "The door is not locked."
There was an obvious pause outside the door, and then there was a rustling sound.
Then, the door was pushed open, and Hanyu Kusunoki walked in with his hands behind his back and an expression of "I'm just passing by". He closed the door and locked it with a "click".
"Master, good evening!"
The boy smiled harmlessly and approached attentively.
The beautiful woman still looked down as she flipped through the sword manual. She just raised a white jade-like hand and said calmly, "Give it to me."
"Forehead……"
Hanyu Kusunoki paused, then revealed a helpless smile and obediently stretched out his hand hidden behind his back - a key lay in his palm.
He slowly placed the brass key in her palm, muttering softly, "Master, why didn't you lock the door? I clearly locked it last time..."
Chi Bo Jinghua took the key and put it on the bedside table. Then she looked up at him with a slight smile on her lips: "Why do you think I would lock the door in my own home? Who am I protecting from?"
Hanyu Kusunoki: “…”
"And..." She closed the sword manual and looked at him with a half-smile, "whether the door is locked or not, will it be useful to a little rascal like you?"
Hanyu Kusunoki: “…”
Only then did I realize that my master also has a dark side.
He must have been infected by that black-hearted loli Ai!
His eyes were involuntarily attracted by the beautiful woman's drooping hair - the long black hair like a waterfall shone with a satin-like luster under the light, and a few strands playfully slid down on her snow-white neck, making people want to reach out and touch her delicate skin.
"Have you seen enough?" Ikebo Jinghua suddenly spoke.
Hanyu Nan came to his senses, not panicking at all, and sat down on the bed with a swagger, saying as a matter of course: "Isn't this to respect you, Master!"
Otherwise, he can come in any way he wants.
No need for a key.
"Respect?" Ikebo Shizuka raised an eyebrow. "Respect for sneaking into Master's room in the middle of the night?"
"Ahem~" Hanyu Nan coughed tactically, then looked at Ikenami Shizuka pitifully, "It was mainly because there was thunder outside, and I was scared and didn't dare to sleep alone, so I came to ask Master to take me in."
Ikebo Shizuka turned her head to look out the window——
The moon was bright in the sky, the stars were twinkling, and there was not even a cloud in the sky. There was no sign of thunder or rain at all.
Before she could retract her gaze and look at Hanyu Nan again, she heard a "click" and Hanyu Nan snapped his fingers.
In the courtyard.
Bobo and Yingying, who had been lying in ambush, immediately took action.
Pray for rain, thunder, rainy days, rainfall...all kinds of fancy weather tricks were thrown out at once as if they were free.
In the blink of an eye, the rain in October starts falling.
If you don’t know, you would think it’s June now.
Outside the window, the originally bright moonlight was suddenly completely obscured by the rolling dark clouds. Darkness instantly enveloped the earth, and was immediately illuminated as bright as day by a dazzling flash of lightning.
Immediately afterwards——
"Boom——!!!"
Deafening thunder roared, as if the heaven and earth were shaking.
The corner of Chi Bo Jinghua's eyes twitched slightly. She saw the rain curtain like a waterfall. The bean-sized raindrops hit the window frame with a crackling sound. The strong wind blew the maple leaves past, making it look like a scene of heavy rain.
She slowly turned her head and looked at her apprentice who could "call the wind and rain".
"Master, look!" Hanyu Kusunoki said sincerely, "I didn't lie to you, did I?" "It really thundered!"
Ikebo Shizuka: "......"
Sometimes, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This stupid disciple of his, who clearly possessed extraordinary abilities, was like a child, creating a storm just to climb into his master's bed. How childish.
but......
But she still finds it very useful.
Chi Bo Jinghua was silent for a few seconds, picked up the sword manual again, and said calmly: "Since you are so afraid of thunder, then-"
Hanyu Kusunoki's eyes lit up.
"—go to the guest room and sleep," she added.
Hanyu Kusunoki: “…”
He immediately put on an expression of an abandoned puppy: "Master, the guest room is too far away. If lightning strikes, I won't be able to run away in time..."
Chi Bo Jinghua raised her eyes and glanced at him: "So what do you want?"
Hanyu Kusunoki blinked and tentatively moved to the inside of the bed: "How about... I just stay here for one night? I promise not to snore, grind my teeth, or talk in my sleep!"
As for the rest, we’ll talk about it later.
Ikebo Jinghua didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
After a long while, she looked at the sword manual again: "It's up to you."
"Yeah, I knew that the master loves his apprentice the most."
Hanyu Kusunoki cheered and somersaulted onto the bed. His slippers drew a perfect parabola in the air and landed in the distance with a "pop".
At first, he lay obediently on his side, covered himself with the quilt properly, and folded his hands on his chest, just like a well-behaved baby.
The only sounds in the room were the rain and each other's breathing.
But not long after, he could not help but rub his head against the waist of the beautiful woman who was reading the sword manual, smelling the faint orchid fragrance. Seeing that she did not react, he became bolder, and his big hands in the quilt began to act restlessly and strangely.
First, he drew circles on her plump legs through her silk nightgown.
After drawing for a while, he began to move down unsatisfiedly. His fingertips first lifted the hem of her nightgown, feeling her thigh muscles gradually becoming tense, and his palms roamed freely on her smooth skin.
Ikeba Jinghua held the sword manual in her hand for a long time without turning the page, and a healthy blush appeared on her noble and dignified face.
She lowered her eyes slightly, and her eyes as deep as black holes stared quietly at the clumsy disciple who was curled around her waist.
The boy's head rested intimately on her waist, with a little bit of childishness still remaining between his brows, but mostly he was carefree and unrestrained, as if he didn't care about anything in the world.
His handsome face was full of seriousness, as if what he was doing was the most sacred and inviolable thing in the world.
As she watched, her heart slowly softened and melted.
