Aoi nodded, "Mm."
Hikari asked again, "Why?"
Aoi lightly brushed her lovely hair and tucked it behind her ear, then smiled and said, "Because Hikari-kun is a Tokyo pretty boy, and I'm a country bumpkin. What country girl could resist glamorous Tokyo and a romantic Tokyo pretty boy?"
Hearing that, Hikari didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said speechlessly, "What Tokyo pretty boy? And you really haven't been to Tokyo? Honestly…"
"Besides, Aoi, you're very pretty too. You're not some country bumpkin."
Aoi chuckled lightly, "Hah! Hikari-kun, you must have flirted with plenty of girls in Tokyo, huh? You're so slick with your words. After you marry me, you have to settle down, okay~"
Hearing that Aoi already seemed to be arranging things for after they were married, Hikari asked helplessly, "According to what you're saying, you want to be with me because you long for Tokyo's glamour and romance?"
Aoi nodded, "Mm. That reason accounts for ten points."
Hikari smiled and asked, "Out of a hundred?"
Aoi shook her head, "No."
Hikari sighed, "That really hurts. So the full score is just ten points?"
Aoi shook her head again, "No. The full score is ten thousand points."
Hikari raised an eyebrow slightly, "Oh? Then what reason makes up the other nine thousand nine hundred and ninety points for wanting to be with me?"
A faint blush suddenly appeared on Aoi's fair face. Her small hands tugged at the hem of her skirt, and she said shyly, a little awkward, "Of course it's because I like you~"
"Aoi, you like me?", Hikari raised an eyebrow.
Aoi nodded, "Obviously."
Hikari looked unconvinced, "Really? Then you…"
"I'll prove it to you!"
Before Hikari could even finish speaking, Aoi suddenly threw herself into his arms, stood on her tiptoes, wrapped her arms around his head, and pressed her two soft, pink cherry lips, filled with a young girl's fragrance, tightly against Hikari's lips.
Aoi's sudden move of hugging Hikari and kissing him hard made many of the boys around them stare in shock.
Why would such a beautiful girl kiss a man in public?
And why wasn't that man me?
This was the truest portrayal of what countless jealous, envious, resentful boys were thinking.
But after all, this was the countryside, and the local customs were still quite simple.
Seeing Aoi's bold act, everyone quickly walked away in embarrassment.
Under the cypress tree, only two figures pressed tightly together remained.
As the other main character in this situation, Hikari was also somewhat surprised by Aoi's sudden aggressive move.
But he had long since been through countless battles and had rich experience, so he wasn't unfamiliar with this at all, and almost instinctively began to enjoy it.
And although Aoi's actions were bold, Hikari could clearly feel her inexperience, just like her youthful, unblemished age. Her experience probably all came from shoujo manga. In truth, she was like a pure blank sheet of paper.
With his strength, he could easily push away Aoi, who was committing "forced indecency" against him, with just a light shove and knock her to the ground.
But feeling the silver-haired girl pressing hard on his head, tightly capturing his lips, every movement revealing an indescribable excitement and stubbornness, Hikari gave up the idea of calling the police.
After all, with Aoi's figure and looks, if this went to the police station, the one who'd probably get arrested would be him.
The faint fragrance of the beautiful girl kept wafting over at such close range. The sensation of her soft, delicate body pressing against him was actually very comfortable.
And the girl's lips carried a unique sweet scent, as if they were cherry blossom petals pickled in honey, irresistibly delicious.
With such a top-tier beauty being this proactive, Hikari naturally had no interest in pretending to be some upright gentleman. He directly and skillfully savored her, while at the same time guiding the inexperienced Aoi.
Under Hikari's guidance, the girl's chest heaved more and more, and her fair face grew redder and redder.
Only when Aoi felt like she was about to suffocate and lose consciousness did Hikari finally pull back.
Suddenly pulled out of that state, Aoi's beautiful eyes were still filled with haze. Her whole body went limp, and if Hikari hadn't been supporting her, she probably would have collapsed straight onto the ground.
Held in Hikari's arms, Aoi rested her arms around his waist, lightly tilting her head back, her cherry lips panting nonstop.
From the moment their lips met, Aoi quickly lost track of time. She had no idea how long had passed.
In a daze, it felt as if she had gone to heaven once, and then suddenly regained consciousness.
Looking at Hikari holding her in his arms now, lowering his head as if admiring her expression, Aoi's cheeks were still flushed, but she revealed that peculiar smile, and said with a slightly dissatisfied, teasing tone.
"Should I say you really live up to being a Tokyo pretty boy? You're so skilled at kissing. Just like stepping on an ant, without effort or care, you casually snatched away a girl's first kiss."
"Hikari-kun, back in Tokyo, you must have kissed plenty of beauties, right?"
Faced with Aoi's jealous, sarcastic look, Hikari directly nodded and admitted it, "Mm, you guessed right. I can't even remember how many pure girls' first kisses I've taken. After all, do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten?"
"To tell you the truth, as a Tokyo pretty boy, I've got a whole harem of beautiful girls over there. There are even aunties your mom's age. So what, do you still like me?"
Hearing Hikari's frank confession, Aoi shook her head, "Not that much anymore."
Hikari smiled and asked, "Your liking for me dropped by quite a bit, huh."
"Mm, it dropped a lot. Now I only like you nine thousand nine hundred ninety-eight point nine," Aoi lightly pressed her finger to her lips and smiled.
"So basically it didn't drop much?", Hikari sighed.
Aoi shook her head, "No, actually it dropped a lot. It's just that the base amount of how much I like you is too big."
"The base amount is just too big?"
Listening to the silver-haired beauty's serious nonsense, Hikari lightly pressed his forehead, "So you're dead set on being with me?"
"What, Hikari-kun, you can't accept that?", Aoi asked.
"No. As a Tokyo pretty boy, having one more in my harem doesn't make a difference, and having one less doesn't either, so I can accept it," Hikari shook his head.
"Then it's settled. Husband, hug me~", Aoi said with a bright smile, spreading her arms and squinting her eyes as she asked for a hug. [T/N: Dayum!]
Hikari wrapped his arm around her slender waist and pulled the girl's soft, warm, fragrant body into his embrace.
As if she and Hikari had already been passionately in love for years, Aoi obediently and skillfully leaned into his arms. "Husband's embrace is so warm. Aoi likes you so much, husband~"
Hearing Aoi laughing softly in that sweet, coquettish voice, calling him husband over and over, Hikari couldn't help complaining, "You're not planning to call me that from today on, are you? Your sister will look at me weird, and your mom will beat me to death."
Aoi smiled, "What, you can't handle just a title, Hikari?"
Hikari knew that this silver-haired beauty, though quiet and reserved, was very smart and a little rebellious. The more you told her not to do something, the more she'd want to do it.
So Hikari immediately shook his head and said, "It's not that I can't handle it. It's just that we're not married yet. You can call me that after we're married."
Aoi nodded thoughtfully, "That does make sense. Oh right! Speaking of getting married, Hikari, I have a request about our marriage."
"What request?", Hikari asked.
"I want to get married on the same day as my sister," Aoi said.
"Hm?", Hearing this strange request, Hikari froze slightly.
But thinking that the sisters seemed to have a pretty good relationship, it was understandable. He immediately reminded her, "Your sister's wedding date is set for within the next two years, right? We won't have graduated by then."
"That doesn't matter," Aoi said.
"Hm? What do you mean it doesn't matter? Forget that for now. About getting married together, besides what we think, wouldn't we mainly need to ask your sister and her fiance?", Hikari said.
"No. Just asking you is enough, because when it comes to our sisters' marriages, you hold all the decision-making power," Aoi shook her head.
"What do you… mean by that?", Hikari stared into Aoi's eyes and asked in a strange tone.
"My sister's engagement was actually arranged by our parents and elders," Aoi said.
"And then?", Hikari had vaguely guessed what she wanted to say, but still asked.
"And then my sister actually likes you too," Aoi said.
"I couldn't tell," Hikari shook his head.
"Suiren's love doesn't need to be seen. You just need to feel it with your body," Aoi said.
"What does that mean?", Hikari asked.
"First, use your body to communicate with her body. Simply put, before she fulfills her engagement, you and her make cooked rice out of raw rice."
"Your sister wouldn't agree," Hikari said.
"She doesn't need to agree," Aoi said.
"What do you mean?"
"You f0rce yourself on her. I'll help you hold her down," Aoi said.
"You want me to r*pe her?"
"If you like that wording, that's fine too," Aoi nodded slightly.
"No. I have zero interest in being a r*pist," Hikari shook his head.
"Sigh, fine then," Aoi wrinkled her cute little face and sighed helplessly.
"Giving up?", Hikari looked at her with interest and asked.
"No. It's just that I clearly pointed out the shortest shortcut to the sisters-ending for you, and you're unwilling to take it. I'm just frustrated that you can't live up to expectations. But I have other methods. I'll do my best to help you two," Aoi said.
"No, why are you so obsessed with ruining your sister's marriage and even wanting me to become a r*pist? Do you hate your sister that much? Do you have a grudge against her?", Hikari asked.
"No. I like Sister Suiren, and I like Hikari-kun even more. The reason I want you two to be together is for your happiness, and mine as well," Aoi said.
Seeing Aoi speak so seriously, as if she already had her own complete logic, Hikari was left speechless, knowing there was no reasoning with her.
He immediately said, "Alright then. Do whatever you want."
Hikari glanced at the time on his phone, then looked up at Aoi, "It's getting late. I still have something to take care of, so I need to go home first. You should head back early and eat dinner too."
"Okay. Goodbye, Hikari-kun," Even though she'd been calling him husband nonstop just moments ago, Aoi had no objections to what Hikari said and didn't cling to him at all.
She waved briskly, then turned and parted ways with Hikari.
Stepping along the soft, muddy dirt path of the countryside, Aoi walked home with a smile on her face, taking small, light steps.
"Aoi, you're back? The food's already cooked. Come eat quickly~", Hearing Aoi come home, her sister Suiren immediately came out to greet her.
"Okay. I'll go change my pants first~", Aoi rarely showed Suiren a gentle smile and answered sweetly.
Seeing her usually quiet, expressionless younger sister suddenly smile at her like that, Suiren couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
Then she asked strangely, "Change your pants? Aren't you wearing a skirt?"
Aoi stood up after taking off her little leather shoes and black stockings, patted her perky butt, and smiled, "My underwear. My underwear got wet~"
"Uh…"
Although she knew that when they were little, her sister had always been prone to wetness and was still wetting the bed even close to middle school, at this age, she really shouldn't be wetting herself anymore, right?
Suiren didn't dare ask more, just nodded and told her to hurry up and change and come eat.
After changing into a pair of shorts, Aoi scooped herself a bowl of rice and sat down at the table.
As Suiren helped her pick out food, she asked curiously, "Aoi, did you see Hikari today?"
Aoi nodded, "I did~ Oh right, Hikari told me something, about you, sister. Do you want to know?"
"What is it?", Suiren's curiosity was instantly piqued by her sister's words.
Aoi smiled, "It's not really a big deal. Hikari told me that he's liked Sister Suiren ever since he was little, and he still likes you a lot now. He wants to marry you and take you home as his wife. Didn't you and I agree back then that we'd marry Hikari together~"
"Ah?", Hearing this, Suiren's delicate body trembled. Her hand holding the chopsticks loosened, and they fell onto the table.
The image of Hikari's now-grown, handsome face from a few days ago surfaced in her mind. Thinking that he'd been secretly in love with her all along and even said he wanted to marry her, Suiren's refined, pretty face couldn't help but flush, and her heart began to pound rapidly.
But seeing her sister Aoi's half-smiling gaze from across the table, Suiren hurriedly shook her head, "No, no! Childhood promises don't count, right? And I already have a fiance!"
Aoi picked up a piece of eggplant and put it in her mouth, casually smiling, "What does a fiance matter? Just break off the engagement."
Hearing Aoi's indifferent tone, Suiren immediately shook her head and refused, "No. I can't break it off. The engagement was agreed on by both families' parents. If I break it off, Mom will definitely lose face. She'll never agree."
"I see~", Aoi didn't say anything more, just smiled and continued eating.
On the other side, Suiren had lost most of her appetite, her mind filled with everything Aoi had just said.
