Should I choose between "filling up" and tutoring?
As for this question, Qin someone's answer is always the same.
Naturally, it's for everyone to be together… cough, cough.
"No, no."
Qin Yu shook his head, quickly dispelling that dangerous thought.
The idea of gaining double the joy was indeed beautiful.
For instance, his wife and daughter, or sister and younger sister.
But imagine the scene of being sandwiched between the divine maiden and the young girl.
Qin someone's back went cold.
Two "wicked women" getting together would undoubtedly spell big trouble.
To avoid a disaster, he decided to play it safe for now.
"How can I possibly… be with both of them at the same time…"
Qin Yu mumbled, pondering a solution in his mind.
Soon, he had a bold idea.
Here comes the deduction time:
It is known that the two women currently don't know Qin Yu has made appointments with both of them.
Therefore, Qin Yu can exploit this, creating an information gap.
Simply put…
He would first appear before one woman to put her at ease.
Then, he would find an excuse to slip away temporarily and go to the other.
Once both women let down their guard, he would then "fill up" and tutor them separately.
In this way, he would have fulfilled his promises to both women "simultaneously."
"So this is how it's resolved?"
Qin someone's eyes lit up, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
A perfect plan, it certainly wouldn't backfire.
Let's do it!
"Then next…"
Just as Qin Yu tilted his head back to gaze at the moon, contemplating which one to start with.
*Pat, pat.*
Someone patted his shoulder.
Qin someone's body stiffened, and he turned his head stiffly.
Under the moonlight, a beautiful golden-haired girl with exquisite features was looking at him.
"Qin Yu? What are you smiling at the moon for?"
Lumi silently appeared behind him, frowning.
Every time Qin Yu smiled like that, some girl was bound to suffer.
Lumi the cat, smelled the scent of pilfered goods.
"Lumi, you startled me."
Qin someone coughed lightly and waved his hand, feigning composure.
While seemingly looking at the moon, he was secretly panicking.
How could he have forgotten about the maid lady!
"Hmph, you've got something to hide."
Lumi pouted and walked to Qin Yu's side.
"…"
The atmosphere was quiet.
They stood together, motionless.
"?"
Qin Yu tilted his head to look at Lumi, who was looking up at the moon, feeling strange.
Why aren't you leaving yet?
Do you want to talk about life?
"I already guessed you'd be waiting for me here on purpose."
Lumi glanced at Qin Yu and snorted.
In the gentle breeze, the girl lightly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
The cat ears on her head and the white flowers were swaying slightly.
Just like the rippling emotions of the girl.
"Waiting for me?"
Qin Yu pointed at himself, utterly bewildered.
Please, he hadn't…!
"Stop pretending, I know everything."
Lumi raised her chin, her expression conveying "you're exposed."
She had just taken a stroll around the small grove.
When she returned, she saw Qin Yu…
If he wasn't deliberately waiting for someone, why would he be standing there spacing out?
She knew everything.
It's not like he wanted to comfort her… and seize the opportunity to get closer.
"You're so un-straightforward, Qin Yu."
Lumi turned her face away and whispered.
But the slight upturn of her lips still betrayed her mood.
"Ah, this… indeed."
Qin Yu stood frozen, utterly shocked.
He hadn't said anything yet.
Are we sure we're on the same wavelength?!
"Admitted it?"
Lumi pursed her lips and looked at Qin Yu with a complex gaze.
[Ding, emotional points from Lumi +1]
"…Mm."
Qin Yu quickly thought, responding vaguely.
Even though he didn't know what was going on.
But these rising emotional points…
Girl, are you engaging in self-inflicted strategy?
Qin Yu was secretly distressed.
Fine, the third girl to find him tonight.
There couldn't possibly be a fourth one, right?
"Then I won't agree either."
Lumi turned her face away, crossing her arms and acting aloof.
She was a traveler who had journeyed through many worlds.
It's impossible.
Of course, being a good companion was fine.
Qin Yu: "…"
He looked at the slightly tsundere Lumi and couldn't help but laugh.
Discussing parting ways now was a bit too soon.
"You're so capable, yet you're still working as a cat maid here?"
A light remark was enough to break Lumi's composure.
"You!"
"Wait, don't hit, I'm sorry."
Qin Yu quickly raised his hand, trying to placate the bristling cat.
"Why don't you go to the small grove first, I'll be ready soon, then I'll come find you?"
Seeing that Lumi had no intention of letting him go, Qin Yu suggested.
"…Alright then."
Lumi nodded gently, and Qin Yu pushed her towards the small grove.
"Come find me quickly."
She turned back to look at Qin Yu and emphasized in a low voice.
Surely, she wouldn't be discovered by the divine maiden and the young girl?
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Qin Yu waved his hand and smiled.
…
Watching Lumi leave, Qin Yu felt a wave of helplessness.
Why did it have to be three girls?
"I can't drag this out any longer."
Qin Yu shook his head, no longer dwelling on it.
Only by seizing the time could he avoid being discovered by the three women.
This time, it definitely wouldn't end in disaster!
…
Qin Yu crept to the outside of a camp.
The flickering firelight illuminated an elegant and beautiful silhouette.
She was tidying her long hair, seemingly having waited for a long time.
"Columbia, may I come in?"
Qin Yu stopped outside and asked softly.
"Come in quickly."
Columbia stopped her movements and said softly.
Hearing this, Qin Yu no longer hesitated and entered the tent.
The candlelight was warm, and the beauty was stunning.
At this moment, there were only the two of them.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
Qin Yu steadied himself and said softly.
"I thought you weren't going to look for me anymore."
Columbia sighed softly, gently swirling her hair with her fingers.
The lazy and resentful air of a lover made his heart race.
She was too good at this.
"What's the situation now?"
Qin Yu walked to Columbia's front and extended his hand.
First, check the situation, then find an excuse to leave…
No problem, it's bound to work.
"Why the rush?"
Columbia's lips curved slightly, and she said mysteriously.
As she spoke, she reached out and took Qin Yu's hand.
You don't think…
Inviting you here was just for "filling up," do you?
My travel companion?
"Cough, health is more important."
Qin Yu said softly.
He could tell that Columbia was stalling for time.
"Before that, let's chat."
"I'll show you the painting I just finished."
Columbia pulled Qin Yu and led him to the desk.
"Okay."
Qin Yu nodded.
He had noticed the drawing paper on the desk long ago.
It looked like more than one sheet.
"This is a story about a young girl and her travel companion."
Columbia picked up a drawing paper and showed it to Qin Yu.
"This is…"
Qin Yu looked at the two small figures in the painting and let out a soft "oh."
So familiar.
Just as he was pondering, the girl began her narration.
"Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess."
"She had a good impression of the man she met by chance…"
As the story began, the drawing paper was also flipped.
Qin Yu looked on.
The girl in the painting invited the young man to her tent.
Wait, a tent?
Isn't this what's happening right now?
"But she was troubled by a curse and couldn't express her feelings."
Columbia's lips curved slightly, and she slowly turned the next page.
Qin Yu's eyes widened.
The heartwarming art style suddenly turned dark.
"So, the princess decided…"
Columbia said softly, her voice melancholic.
"To lock up her travel companion."
Qin Yu: ?
Hold on, what kind of yandere development is this!
Just as a "danger" sign was about to form above his head.
"Pfft."
Columbia chuckled, covering her mouth, seeing Qin Yu's stunned expression.
The tense atmosphere relaxed once more.
"Just kidding, Qin Yu."
The mischievous trick of the cunning girl succeeded once again.
