Girl Band, Gravity Capture

Page 127

Why is she hesitating again now, when she clearly can't let go of the end of [CryCHIC]?

She wanted to know the answer to this question. And whatever the final outcome, Nagasaki Motoyo would wholeheartedly support his decision without hesitation.

If they want to reunite the band, she will become their most loyal supporter; if they want to reject the band, she won't mind playing the most ruthless villain and ruining other people's wishes.

Ultimately, Nagasaki Motoyo didn't argue with Chihaya Aine to the end, simply because she discovered that the boy's intentions had shifted in a direction she was unaware of, which made her doubt the correctness of her actions—it was a moment of carelessness that gave her the upper hand.

Otherwise, given her relationship with Xu Dou, she could easily refute him.

Therefore, Nagasaki Motoyo now needs to revise her stance—she can't rely entirely on her own guesses and imagination; she needs to hear him say it completely.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xudou remained silent for a long time.

In the sudden silence, Nagasaki Motoyo was not in a hurry. She gently scratched the lines on the boy's forehead and patiently waited for the boy to confess.

She knew he would definitely tell her.

Xu Dou wasn't the awkward type to keep things bottled up. If you asked him clearly, he was always willing to explain his thoughts. This was something you could really like about him.

So, all we have to do is wait.

Because there is a certainty of receiving a satisfactory response, one can be patient and wait quietly.

She wasn't the kind of girl who was in a hurry and needed immediate results. Nagasaki Motoyo was very patient and could accept things slowly and gently, like rain seeping into the soil, reaping everything she wanted.

"...Where should I begin?"

As expected, after thinking for a long time, Yuan Xudou, who was buried in the girl's broad chest, let out a soft sigh.

He eased his neck, which was a little numb from being held in that position, as the tip of his nose was constantly filled with the soft, milky scent unique to young girls, which was even more intense at this moment.

...I ate a little little for dinner, and I feel a bit hungry.

"Hmm... Xu Doujun, you decide for yourself."

"Let's start from day one then."

Yuan Xudou took a deep breath.

At such moments, he no longer spoke sparingly as usual, but instead analyzed his inner thoughts in detail.

"Su Shi, you should still remember, right? The first day we met."

"Mmm." She nodded, a sweet, nostalgic expression on her face.

Of course she remembered. On that day, a merciful deity presented her with the best gift, setting the wheels of her life in motion...

"That was also my first day moving in here, living in this kind of top-of-the-line apartment."

Unlike Nagasaki Motoyo, who was filled with fond and joyful memories of that time, he simply lowered his eyes and spoke softly and calmly about the memories he had left behind.

"To be honest, my first impression of you, Su Shi, wasn't particularly good... because your initial actions were very similar to those of girls I usually encounter who would hit on me on the street." He spoke very frankly, without adding any filters to his past self.

"...Of course I know about that kind of thing."

Nagasaki Motoyo blushed slightly. She was also aware that her initial attraction to Minamoto no Koto was excessive compared to someone she was meeting for the first time, and it was only natural that it would arouse the other party's wariness.

At that time, she was still only using him as a substitute for herself... In terms of first impression, it was actually a bit bad.

Yuan Xudou chuckled softly:

"At that time, I originally planned to study abroad after graduating from junior high school."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this unexpected fact, Nagasaki Motoyo instinctively hugged him tightly, feeling a bit scared.

Why would you think that...?

If Xu Doujun leaves without a word, then she...

“I never had a reason to stay in one place for long. At that time, there was nothing here worth staying for… I thought about going to China, or England, or Switzerland. Maybe I would go somewhere else after graduating from high school.”

Having no worries means being unrestrained, like a dandelion blown by the wind, able to drift everywhere.

"...Because at that time I didn't actually have any goals."

Because he was too outstanding, everything he did lost its meaning—there was nothing he could strive for.

"Life is just life, it's the same everywhere."

Listening to his words, Nagasaki Motoyo slowly began to understand.

...At that time, Xu Doujun seemed to be a perfect empty shell.

She doesn't have the talent to succeed easily no matter what she does, but she probably has a pretty good understanding of the feeling of emptiness and confusion.

However, he ultimately did not leave.

What made him choose to stay, and inject a promising vitality into his unchanging life?

That was her, and also Toyokawa Shoko, Takamatsu Akari, Shiina Tatsuki, Wakaba Mutsu... At first, it was a fondness for them, but after everything ended, it turned into a complex emotion that was hard to distinguish between bitterness and astringency.

So... after the band ended, he naturally lost his goal again and became directionless once more.

Nagasaki Motoyo became the only positive anchor among the five at that moment, preventing him from simply leaving.

...Actually, if her mother hadn't been unable to go abroad with her, the girl wouldn't have minded going to study abroad with him...In fact, it would have been even better! Wouldn't it have been great if the two of them ran off together, leaving everyone else far behind?

Mom... she can actually take care of herself. Anyway, it's not like she's never coming back. She'll come back after she's made things official abroad, when Xiangzi and Aine have no chance left.

"...You should have told me this sooner." Thinking this, Nagasaki Motoyo ruffled his short hair reproachfully.

"Shouldn't I go with you?" Her bright blue eyes revealed a slight dissatisfaction, not because she was deliberately hiding anything from him, but because she had missed such a good opportunity.

Let alone going to England, the girl would be willing to go anywhere else where the language is completely different.

They agreed to be bound together and never separate no matter what the circumstances, so Nagasaki Motoyo would never accept a long-distance relationship.

"I never even considered going abroad again after that." Despite his hair being ruffled, Yuan Xudou wasn't angry and patiently explained.

That's true. Even with twisted bonds, Xu Doujun was still bound back then.

When her expectations were dashed, Nagasaki Motoyo accepted reality with some frustration.

"So... Heo Doo-kun, you want to rebuild the band and rediscover your original goals...?"

If he really had such thoughts, I should help him both morally and logically, but...

Nagasaki Motoyo bit her lower lip, her fingers circling nervously above his head.

"...I don't know," he murmured, a hint of confusion in his voice.

The band may not be the right path, but he can't find the so-called right one either.

That's why Genjiro agreed to Chihaya Aine's invitation to "try performing on stage twice first"... Some things, you can't judge right or wrong without trying.

Upon hearing this, Nagasaki Motoyo frowned slightly, lowered her head and rested her chin on his head, and began to ponder together.

She put herself in the boy's shoes, worried about him for a while, and finally came to the conclusion:

"...I don't like that girl named Chihaya Aine."

　(3) Temple Cold 7.2 II Four Scars Private Belt "You've met Aine?" Yuan Xudou asked with some surprise.

"Yes, it was this afternoon. I chatted with her for a bit." Nagasaki Motoyo was too embarrassed to say that the two of them almost got into a fight, as that would make her seem petty.

“I…I think she’s very vain, and she has a lot on her mind when she speaks, and…” She listed her dissatisfaction with Chihaya Aine bit by bit, most of which probably stemmed from her resentment at being questioned by the other party.

Yuan Xudou did not rush to respond, but patiently waited for her to finish speaking before continuing.

"Aine does have a lot of minor flaws, but she's not a bad person, and she's actually very good to me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Nagasaki Motoyo gently pinched the soft flesh on his neck, but didn't use much force.

The boy, who had high emotional intelligence, immediately realized that he had made a silly mistake—in this kind of atmosphere, he shouldn't have said anything nice about other girls, not even the truth.

Nagasaki Motoyo enjoyed hearing him speak his true feelings, but she didn't like all truths. She didn't even object to his close relationships with other girls, but she disliked hearing him praise others in front of her. Nagasaki Motoyo was already an exceptionally tolerant girl.

In short, she was a little jealous.

Yuan Xudou remained silent for a while, then gently patted the girl's smooth back, waiting for her jealousy to subside and be released.

"...Anyway, I want to give it a try."

"The Golden Week performance back then... Su Shi, do you want to come see it?"

“I will definitely go with you, Xu Doujun.” Her answer was without hesitation. “I also fully support your desire to perform on stage… but…”

She slowly released the boy from her ample bosom, allowing him to finally straighten up. Then, as usual, she gently nestled into his arms, her soft, white fingertips lightly touching his chest.

"I have a very, very small request..."

"...May I stay here tonight?"

Chapter Sixty-Six: The Mistress (Two Chapters Combined)

Stay overnight.

Two teenagers, deeply attracted to each other, are alone in a room at night... whatever happens is perfectly natural.

From a very early time, back when the band was just being formed, Motoyo Nagasaki had always held this idea.

She slowly and subtly created the environment in Yuan Xudou's home, from the placement of the furniture to the programs that usually played on TV. She remembered the location of every seasoning and kitchen utensil in the kitchen, how often the plants on the balcony needed care, and that when he was about to change clothes, he would put the clothes to be washed in the laundry basket first, with shirts usually on top, knowing when it was easiest to clean them...

Even though she didn't directly gain the right to move in, Nagasaki Motoyo, with Genjiro's tacit approval, had gradually integrated her presence into the home—compared to her always empty and lifeless home, she spent more time here and felt a greater sense of warmth and comfort.

Their familiarity with each other had even reached the point where Nagasaki Motoyo would sit or lie on the sofa looking at her phone, using the sound of Minamoto Koto taking a shower at night as background noise. After becoming closer, he became more casual and less reserved, often seen walking around the house in his pajamas, still damp, or standing while drying his hair.

If it weren't for the unspoken rule between the two of them that she had to go home around 10 p.m. every night, she could shower here every day—after all, the girl had already moved part of her dressing table over, so taking a shower afterward was perfectly normal.

Tonight, she wants to completely break down the last remaining barrier between them.

No longer just a "guest" who is trusted and can come and go freely, but someone who completely belongs here, this family has become the true "mistress".

And now... seems to be the best time.

“Xu Doujun…”

Nagasaki Motoyo nestled herself into his arms. After so many embraces, she had become adept at sealing off every gap between them, ensuring that every inch of their touch was covered by each other.

She didn't say much. After making her request, she hugged his neck and gently kissed Yuan Xudou's earlobe and cheek. Her gradually warming breath brushed against his skin, bringing a shivering sensation.

This wasn't coercion taking advantage of someone's vulnerability, and the girl didn't want to elicit sympathy by saying things like she felt lonely sleeping at home. She didn't even intend to hide her intentions.

Once Yuan Xudou agrees to her request to stay overnight... in fact, he agrees to sleep in the same bed with her in the future, or even without a future—Nagasaki Motoyo is different from Toyokawa Shoko; she is more adept at "taking an inch and wanting a mile" and understands the subtext of a boy's permission better.

Therefore, the difficulty she faced in staying overnight at Yuan Xudou's house differed from Xiangzi's, because their goals were fundamentally different. Xiangzi genuinely came to stay temporarily, while Su Shi came to "eat people."

If you can sleep in the same room, even if you can only sleep in the guest room at first, you'll eventually be allowed to sleep in the same bed; if you can sleep in the same bed, it doesn't seem strange at all that something might happen, right? This is the so-called broken window theory.

Even if it doesn't work that night, it will eventually come to that point eventually. Nagasaki Motoyo understands what his consent means. If the first time was just an attempt to delve deeper into his life without any ulterior motives, now, after almost a year of accumulation, this threshold that has been impossible to cross has a much heavier meaning.

Yuan Xudou was neither dense nor fond of playing dumb. He wouldn't do something like letting her in while pretending not to know her true feelings, thus disappointing the girl's expectations. It would be better not to agree in the first place, just as he had always stated.

So... when he nodded slightly, Nagasaki Motoyo, whose eyes were bursting with happiness, immediately pounced on him and threw him onto the sofa.

"Okay, you can sleep here tonight..."

Before he could finish speaking, the girl hugged him tightly and sealed his lips with her soft lips.

The two embraced, entwined on the sofa. Nagasaki Motoyo's kisses moved from his thin lips to his prominent Adam's apple and perfectly shaped collarbone. She kissed him passionately, using her teeth to unbutton the first button of his shirt, her kisses both ardent and tender, almost as if she wanted to swallow the boy whole, to take him entirely into her body…

However, the situation quickly returned to Yuan Xudou's control. Nagasaki Suze obediently nestled in his arms. As bright marks appeared on her shoulders and neck, her voluptuous body trembled slightly, but she did not resist at all. Instead, she gently raised her head and kept letting out suppressed yet satisfied moans.

"Xu Dou, Xu Dou... um, here..."

With her eyes completely glazed over and her cheeks flushed with a captivating blush, Nagasaki Motoyo even took his hand and placed it inside her collar, wrapping it tightly with her full, soft breasts.

One of the girl's most important parts was held in Yuan Xudou's palm, and her smooth brown hair became disheveled along with their already thin clothing as they intertwined.

The sound of water, both intense and gentle, filled the air. Nagasaki Motoyo, having removed her small loafers, tightly gripped his waist with her legs encased in black stockings. The pent-up desire erupted at this moment, and even the affection in her azure eyes seemed to be drawn out like thick, sticky threads.

The two kissed passionately on the sofa for a long time, like lovers in the throes of passion. Only when they were finally out of breath did they reluctantly separate. Their already meager upper garments had been undone without them even realizing it. Their faces and lips were covered in glistening moisture.

Without the constraints of a bra, Nagasaki Motoyo's impressive curves became even more pronounced and alluring.

She was breathing heavily, straddling the boy, gently biting him with her delicate lips and teeth, her fair cheeks flushed.

"I...I want to send a message to my mom..."

With trembling fingertips, Nagasaki Motoyo reached for her phone and, in this brief moment of respite, sent a notification message to her mother.

Although she didn't know if her mother would be able to come back tonight... it was definitely better to tell her family about these things.
