Chapter 183 Winter Camping (5)
The campsite was empty, no one was in sight.
The few girls who don't like off-road vehicles will also find other activities to play. The only unlucky ones who are still here at this time are a few who are suddenly sick.
Rin Kiyono returned to the room, took a towel, bath towel and yukata, and prepared to take a bath.
Each wooden house is equipped with a small bathroom, also using hot spring water. But since there are not so few people here now, she decided to walk a few more steps to the large open-air hot spring, maybe she could have the whole place to herself.
The locker room was very spacious and there was no one in sight, but there was a basket filled with clothes, and it looked like someone was inside.
She was a little disappointed.
She tied her hair into a bun at the back of her head, took off layers of clothes, took her towel, and walked into the bathhouse barefoot.
The open-air hot spring was much larger than she had imagined, almost as large as an ordinary swimming pool. There would be no problem if she really swam in the hot spring.
In order to emphasize the natural features, the bathhouse is built entirely of stone, with bushes and quaint floor lamps between the stones.
The water is the turbid white color unique to natural hot springs, which is obviously different from ordinary clear hot water and can be distinguished at a glance.
It is surrounded by high bamboo fences.
Although it obstructs the view and loses the sense of openness, it is a necessary sacrifice compared to being seen by everyone.
She scooped some hot water into a bucket, poured it gently over her body, and then put her feet into the bathtub.
The water temperature is just right.
She chose a secluded spot by the pool, leaned against the natural rock, and slowly sat down.
The slender legs, the beautifully curved belly, and the snow-white skin all sank into the hot spring water.
Sighing comfortably, she looked at the huge rock in the center of the bath. Its majestic appearance seemed to be real.
I don’t know if Toru Watanabe can push it forward.
Behind the stone, on the other side of the mist, you can vaguely see the person who came first.
Just as Qingye Rin was about to close her eyes and enjoy the hot spring, the figure raised a hand and waved over here.
who?
Is Tamamo the most beautiful? Or Aoi Ikki? Or one of those girls in the class?
Just as she was about to pretend she didn't see it, the figure broke through the water and swam towards her.
"Kiyono-san, can I sit here?"
Qingye Rin's eyes slid across Koizumi Aina's swollen chest, and she nodded and said, "Please go ahead."
Koizumi Aona was two seats away from her, also resting her head on the natural rock.
The two of them looked at the distant mountains together and enjoyed the hot spring in silence.
Kiyono Rin had a pretty good impression of Koizumi Aona. Although she often lied like ordinary people, it was for the purpose of better educating her students and she was trying hard to do her job well.
Moreover, she is Toru Watanabe's favorite teacher.
Hold on.
Qingye Rin remembered something.
Koizumi Aona prefers Watanabe Toru the most. This is something that both Class 1 and Class 4 know - she is the English teacher of these two classes. But given Watanabe Toru's personality, he must have lied to her many times.
Thinking about how he had just been knocked down by a huge snowball, he burst into laughter.
"Teacher Koizumi, why are you here?" Kiyono Rin took the initiative to speak.
Koizumi Aina, who was distracted, said "Hmm?" subconsciously, and then answered:
"Two girls in the class are having their periods and are feeling unwell, so I'm staying to take care of them. Where's Qingye-san? Didn't she go out to play?"
"I was bullied by Watanabe-san."
"Bullying?" Koizumi Aona looked at the profile of Kiyono Rin.
"Yes. He deliberately hit me seven times with a snowball as big as a football." After a pause, she continued, "He is not as good as you think, teacher. He is a completely different person behind the scenes. Of course, overall, he is indeed very good."
"Is that so?" Koizumi Aona looked towards the distant mountains.
There was a teasing smile in her tone, and she didn't take what Qingye Rin said to heart.
Qingye Rin couldn't help but turn her head away.
"Teacher, aren't you curious about his bad side?"
"You don't need to tell the teacher about this. You two can handle it yourselves... It's normal for boys to bully the girls they like. It's not a bad thing."
"The girl I like..."
Qingye Rin scooped up the hot spring water with one hand and poured it on her collarbone.
"Teacher, do you think he really likes me?"
"Isn't this a matter of course?" Koizumi Aona looked at her in surprise.
I don't understand why the two people who have already played the "Night Raid" would still have such doubts.
Qing Ye Lin put his index finger on his chin and said thoughtfully: "It turns out that it is so obvious."
Koizumi Aona remembered Toru Watanabe's request that she keep their relationship behind Miki Kujo's back a secret.
"No, it's not obvious at all," she said quickly.
"Hmm?" Qingye Rin looked at her puzzledly.
"Well... how should I put it... Actually, sir, I have a lot of experience, so I can see it right away!"
lie.
"I see." Qingye Rin lost the desire to chat.
Koizumi Aona felt uneasy: He even said something like he had a lot of experience, was he hiding something?
From the other side of the tall bamboo fence came the sound of splashing water, as if someone was splashing water on themselves.
Then, there was the sound of people walking in the pool, getting closer and closer.
"R-san, are you there? I'm Watanabe." The voice was soft, as if speaking in code.
Koizumi Aona looked at Kiyono Rin with a strange look, then quickly turned her head away as if she didn't hear anything.
What do you mean by bullying? It turns out that I was having a secret date.
Young people nowadays really know how to have fun.
Wait a minute, will Watanabe come directly to the women's bath later?
Just when Koizumi Aona was hesitating whether to say hello in advance and tell Watanabe Toru that she was still there and not to do anything excessive.
Qing Ye Lin sighed helplessly: "What's the matter?"
"You and Meiji agreed to marry the same person. Is this true?" the voice from the other side asked quietly.
Qingye Rin frowned slightly.
But before she could answer, Koizumi Aona's slightly sharp voice rang out.
"Watanabe!"
"Mr. Koizumi? You're here too."
"Yeah, I'm here too!"
Ever since Watanabe Toru came, Kiyono Rin felt that Koizumi Aona was in an unpleasant mood and her tone of voice was very stiff.
What's wrong?
Is there some unspeakable secret between the teacher and the student?
Thinking about how the two of them were much closer than ordinary people, Qingno Rin couldn't help but doubt the possibility of this speculation.
Here, Toru Watanabe has already asked Aona Koizumi why she is here.
"Watanabe Toru-kun." Kiyono Rin spoke.
"Are you in a bad mood? Angry?"
Watanabe Toru's simple rhetorical question and gentle, tentative voice left Kiyono Rin speechless for a moment.
As she was getting to know Toru Watanabe, he was also getting to know her.
The moment she realized this apparently simple thing, she thought of a lot of things.
They had walked the streets together in the late morning hours, looked down from an overpass at the trams rumbling by, looked up at the same starry sky late at night, and now, they were soaking in a hot spring, chatting across the bamboo fence.
It is foreseeable that the two will spend at least two years of high school and four years of college together.
Such a future doesn't seem so unpleasant.
"Kiyono-san?"
Qingye Rin came back to his senses and recalled how he felt when he asked the question just now: "Yeah, a little bit."
"Because of Snowball?"
"no."
Koizumi Aina is right beside me, but girls never lie, so...
"It's because of you and Mr. Koizumi," she said.
"Me and Mr. Koizumi?!"
"Because of me?" Koizumi Aona was surprised at first, and then seemed to suddenly understand something, "Well, I'm done! Watanabe, you and Seino-san can soak slowly, but don't soak for too long, otherwise you'll feel dizzy."
After saying that, she stood up, covered her front with a towel, and walked towards the indoor changing room.
The graceful body, water droplets sliding down.
“…”
Qingye Rin vaguely felt that Watanabe Toru seemed helpless on the other side of the bamboo fence.
"Do you like Mr. Koizumi?" she asked.
"That's a matter of course."
Qingye Rin felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
She couldn't help but sneer, "So you like older women."
"No, my liking for Mr. Koizumi is just an ordinary liking. The one I really like is Kiyono-san... a classmate like you, such as Miki."
"Can you be serious?"
"Did I lie? No? Why would it be unkind to tell the truth?"
Qingye Rin sighed deeply: "I'm going to close my eyes and rest for a while."
"good."
The two of them stopped talking.
Qingye Rin also sunk her neck into the hot spring, rested her head on the stone, and looked up at the sky.
Suddenly it started snowing lightly.
The pure white snowflakes fell endlessly from the colorless and transparent sky, so beautiful that it was beyond words.
As the snowflakes melted in the hot spring, her body seemed to melt along with them, and she felt warm and listless.
Maybe it was because of the long car ride and the test of courage yesterday, and the off-road vehicle race and snowball fight today, a wave of sleepiness quietly came over me.
The vision gradually darkens...
By the time she realized something was wrong, her body was already out of control.
…
"Kiyono-san, I'm almost done. I'll leave first." Watanabe Toru called out.
No one responded.
Watanabe Toru felt a little strange.
I didn't hear any sound of water just now, so Qingye Rin must still be in there, and she is definitely not the kind of person who doesn't speak because she is angry.
This guy hates everyone, so he is polite to people to the point of being almost ruthless.
"Kiyono-san? R-san?" Still no response.
Watanabe Toru felt something was wrong and raised his voice and shouted twice.
This time, there was finally a very small response.
"Watanabe..."
"Qingye?!"
Watanabe Toru stood up from the hot spring in a flash.
I took a quick look at the bamboo fence. It was so smooth and high that there was no way I could jump over it.
He ran into the locker room, without even having time to put on his bathrobe, he simply wrapped the towel around his waist and rushed into the women's bathroom.
When passing by the women's locker room, I took the light blue yukata from Kiyono Rin's basket.
The layout of the women's bathroom was much more elegant than the men's bathroom with a rabbit peeing sculpture, but at this time, Watanabe Toru had no intention of studying the women's bathroom.
Qingye Rin was soaking in the white hot spring water. The only part of her face that was exposed was already red and covered with sweat.
"Qingye!"
Toru Watanabe walked over quickly, put his hands on her arms, closed his eyes, and picked her up.
Afterwards, he put on her yukata based on his memory.
Her arms were fine, but when she closed her eyes and searched for the belt, her hands would accidentally brush against her skin.
In order to suppress his pounding heartbeat, Watanabe Toru closed his eyes tightly.
After making sure his belt was fastened, he opened his eyes and was sweating profusely.
But there was one thing that made him not even think of wiping his sweat.
The sight of Kiyono Rin in front of him, her legs boldly exposed from her yukata, her slightly open neckline, her neck faintly visible between her hair and the collar of her yukata, all of this made Watanabe dizzy.
Taking a deep breath, he reached out, straightened her bathrobe, and helped her into the dressing room.
It was snowing outside and the temperature was even lower, which made her wake up faster, but if it was too low, she would catch a cold.
Toru Watanabe helped her sit down on the stool and fanned her gently with his hand.
After a long while, Qingye Rin slowly opened her eyes.
"Awake ? Are you okay?"
“……” She was still unable to speak.
"Don't worry, I only saw a little bit of the collarbone and legs, and I didn't see or touch any important parts."
Qingye Rin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
The ability to see through lies can make interpersonal relationships cold, but it can indeed reduce misunderstandings and conflicts.
If it weren't for this ability, Watanabe Toru would have no way to defend himself.
However, if someone took the opportunity to see everything, what would be Kiyono Rin's reaction?
According to her usual rationality, she would probably accept it helplessly, right?
But she likes to target him alone, and maybe at that time she will throw rationality aside and use her experience of "saving people from fainting a hundred times" to demand him.
But, this is the body of the God Qingye. This may be the only chance in my life...
Kiyono Rin was fine, but Watanabe Toru felt a little regretful again, and his eyes became distracted when he was thinking about it.
His eyes moved from Kiyono Rin's face downwards.
Every curve that makes up this body has been precisely calculated and designed, and every inch of it has its own function, making the figure appear so slender and well-proportioned.
"What are you looking at?"
"Can you speak?"
"Well. What are you looking at?" Qingye Rin asked again.
"To be honest, I regret it so much now. I should have taken advantage of the situation, taken advantage of the situation, attacked the enemy when they were unprepared, taken advantage of the opportunity, made things worse, robbed the enemy's house, and left him to die without helping..."
"Just watch someone die and not help?"
"Sorry, I know too many idioms and I let it slip."
Qingye Rin rolled her eyes at him and closed her eyes again.
The breeze coming from Watanabe Toru's fanning hands made her feel cool and at the same time, she had a faint sense of warmth in her heart.
Watanabe Toru let her rest for a while and said, "Are you ready to walk? I'll help you back to your room."
Qingye Rin felt the state of his body and nodded: "Okay."
Toru Watanabe stood up and went to get Kiyono Rin's clothes.
Her underwear was already folded, saving him the trouble of struggling.
After he stood up, Qingye Rin realized that he was only wearing a bath towel.
The shoulders are broad, the muscles of the forearms and back are beautiful and graceful, the waist is very thin, and under the bath towel, the buttocks seem to be very perky...
"Can't you just put on your clothes first?" Qingye Rin said in a cold voice.
"Me?" Watanabe Toru looked down and said, "I almost forgot. Wait for me for a moment. I'll go back and get dressed ."
Qingye Rin didn't answer and closed her eyes.
After Watanabe Toru handed Kiyono Rin's clothes, he walked out of the bathroom and prepared to return to the men's bathroom.
"...Akira, I just finished my bath."
"Is there a limit to the number of times you can soak in the hot spring? Please soak with me for a while longer."
"I still have students to take care of. You can go by yourself."
"They are having their period. What's the point of you watching over them? Besides, they are coming anyway... Watanabe?"
Akiko, who was holding Koizumi Aona by force, blinked and looked at Watanabe Toru who came out of the women's bathroom with only a bath towel wrapped around his waist.
"Akira, let's go back to the cabin and hang out!" Koizumi Aona pulled Akiko, who was still dazed, and ran back to the cabin in a hurry.
"Teacher, Mr. Koizumi, don't go, I have something to ask you!" Watanabe Toru's voice was loud, but it could not reach their ears.
When he changed his clothes and walked into the women's bathroom again, Qingye Rin was there with a look of watching the fun.
"You're still laughing? We've been misunderstood."
Qingye Rin brushed her long hair off her shoulders and said proudly, "I don't care what they think of me."
"Yes, yes, you are thick-skinned."
"You're so thick-skinned? Watanabe-san, please watch your words."
After sending Kiyono Rin back to the girls' dormitory occupied by hair dryers and hair straighteners, Watanabe Toru thought of Kujo Miki.
She's taking a hot spring bath in the house alone, nothing will happen to her, right?
Watanabe Toru ran over quickly.
In Miki Kujo's room, she was taking a leisurely bath, drinking lemon juice and enjoying the snow scenery.
Seeing Toru Watanabe, she slapped the water.
"Come in."
