Chapter 296 They Didn’t Escape
Looking at Sakurai Haruka lying on him, Shimizu was shocked. He didn't expect that she could actually detect something unusual in such a place.

Her angle is too strange.

"See what he did with someone in this house just now? If it were any other time, it would probably be stronger."

Sakurai Haruka's head rested gently on Shimizumi's chest. Her voice was still gentle, but it made his heart beat faster involuntarily.

"Seeing my heart beat faster."

The sound of the thumping heartbeat was clearly transmitted to Sakurai Haruka through her chest.

Feeling uneasy, Qing Shuijian subconsciously glanced towards the floor-to-ceiling window.

I saw Ichinose Shiki cautiously sticking half of his head out from the gap in the curtains, nervously peeking at what was happening outside.

At the same time, Ayase Kotone also hid behind with her. Both of them did not have time to put on their clothes because of Sakurai Haruka's sudden intrusion, and now they were hiding behind the curtains, holding their clothes.

However, in the gap between the curtain and the ground, the four white and slender feet were inadvertently revealed.

If the lights in the room weren't off, Sakurai Haruka would probably notice it the moment she came in.

Sensing Shimizu's subtle sense of uneasiness, Sakurai Haruka revealed a barely perceptible smile at the corner of her mouth and raised her face from his chest.

As Sakurai Haruka's body pressed on Shimizu Mi, the soft curve of her chest was squeezed and slightly sunken like marshmallows, spreading to both sides.

"Are you nervous now?"

Sakurai Haruka's fingers gently drew circles on Shimizumi's chest repeatedly.

"Is it because the thieving cat is still in this room?"

Sakurai Haruka's slightly sharp voice instantly reached the ears of the two people behind the curtain.

A stealing cat?
Who are you talking about?

Ayase Kotone thought for a long time before she realized that the "stealing cat" the other person was talking about seemed to be referring to them.

Not only that, Ayase Kotone could vaguely see the girl leaning on Shimizu Mi through the curtains. That face seemed to be Sakurai Haruka, who was from the same school and in the same grade as her.

But why did Sakurai Haruka suddenly appear in such a place?

Because the incident happened suddenly, Ayase Kotone, who did not expect someone to suddenly break into the room, was pulled behind the curtain by Ichinose Shiki. Now, listening to the conversation between Sakurai Haruka and Shimizu Mi, she slowly realized that the relationship between them seemed to be unusual.

"So didn't I tell you that? Xiao Qinyin is too slow. In three years, others have already surpassed you."

Ichinose Shiki's gentle voice reached Ayase Kotone's ears.

Although Ichinose Shiki had said this before, after seeing it with her own eyes, Ayase Kotone's mood still unconsciously fell.

"Anyway, let's not worry about this for now. Let's find a chance to slip away first."

"..."

Ayase Kotone nodded slightly, but under the current circumstances, is it really possible to leave here safely?
After a brief thought, Ichinose Shiki quietly poked his head out from behind the curtain again and looked towards Shimizu.

The two of them happened to meet each other's eyes, but since they couldn't communicate through sound, Ichinose Shiki had to point at Sakurai Haruka who was pressing on him, and then communicate to him through lip movements and gestures.

Although Shimizu Ken could not fully understand what Ichinose Shiki meant, he should have tried his best to attract Sakurai Haruka's attention so that they could find a chance to leave the room.

However, what made Shimizu feel a little concerned was that Sakurai Haruka in front of him clearly sensed something fishy, ​​but did not rush to look for anyone in the room.

With the shabby hiding places that Ichinose Shiki and Ayase Kotone chose at the last minute, Sakurai Haruka should be able to find them immediately if she just searches the room.

However, since there is no better way at the moment, Shimizu can only listen to Ichinose Shiki and give it a try.

"Haruka, how did you get in just now?"

Shimizu tried to divert Sakurai Haruka's attention so that the two people behind the curtain would have a chance to leave.

"Well, I asked the hotel's front desk clerk to open the door for me with a key."

Sakurai Haruka was still drawing circles on Shimizumi's chest with her fingers, making him feel a little itchy.

Although from the conversation between Sakurai Haruka and the hotel waiter outside the door just now, it can be heard that this is roughly what happened, but isn't it against hotel regulations to forcibly break into a guest's room like this?

Moreover, the waitress's tone and attitude when she spoke made it seem as if she listened to Sakurai Haruka very much.

"Haruka, this hotel isn't yours, is it?"

Considering that Sakurai Haruka's father's company is engaged in construction-related work, this is very possible.

"No, but when the owner of this hotel first built it, my father helped him a lot and invested some money in it, so he has a portion of the shares."

So that's how it is. This makes a lot more sense.

Shimizu Mitsuko glanced at the curtain beside him again and saw Ichinose Shiki, who was only wearing underwear and holding other clothes in her arms, slowly walking out from behind the curtain with Ayase Kotone.

At the same time, Ichinose Shiki put his index finger in front of his lips and told Shimizu to shush and not make any sound.

The two of them moved extremely slowly, like a slow-motion close-up in a movie that was infinitely slowed down. Each of them was extremely cautious, afraid to make any sound and alarm Sakurai Haruka.

"See, what are you looking at?"

Sakurai Haruka keenly caught Shimizu's shifted gaze, which was looking behind her, as if there was something very eye-catching behind her.

"nothing……"

Shimizumi quickly withdrew his gaze. If Sakurai Haruka turned around at this moment, she would see the two stealthy figures behind her.

And by then, things will not end well.

In order to avoid this, Shimizu spoke again.

"Haruka, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Sakurai Haruka to know in advance that Ichinose Shiki and the others would bring Shimizu Mi to the hotel, so she came to see him at this time period specifically, which must be because of something important.

"Well, it's about my sister. She called me today and told me that her work is basically done and she will be back next weekend."

So, it has been a while since Shimizu Miki last saw Sakurai Shio since he left Kanagawa.

Although he had been teased by her many times before, when he heard Sakurai Haruka say this, Shimizu felt a little expectant.

Seeing Shimizumi's expression, Sakurai Haruka showed a faint smirk on her face.

"Are you thinking about something bad?"

"Do not……"

"It's okay. My sister and I miss it too."

Sakurai Haruka put her arms around Shimizumi's neck with an expectant expression.

"So starting from today, you are not allowed to do that for the whole week. When sister comes back, we will do it together..."

Sakurai Haruka leaned close to Shimizumi's ear and whispered the next words, which made him feel in awe.

It seemed that the two of them had already discussed it privately.

But Qing Shuijian didn't know if he could hold on...

"By the way, my sister said one more thing." "What?"

"It was about the work of the mother I met. She said she found a very suitable job. It was not only easy but also paid well."

Although Sakurai Shio had said before that she would help find a new job for Hoshino Akiko and that she could just leave it to her, I didn't expect that she would actually do it.

"What kind of job is it exactly?"

Speaking of a job that is both easy and pays well, many people should be vying for such a good job. Shimizu Mi is a little worried whether it will really be Hoshino Akiko's turn.

"My sister didn't tell me the specifics, but she asked me to ask the mother I saw when she was free, and when she comes back next week, we can arrange a time to meet and talk."

"Well, I'll ask her when I get back today."

Shimizu had talked about this with Hoshino Akiko before, but he hadn't asked her to make an appointment yet. However, since she hasn't found a new job yet, she should be able to make time anytime.

"See, what time is it now?"

Sakurai Haruka suddenly asked Shimizu about the current time.

"It should be almost twelve o'clock, what's wrong?"

It seemed to be around eight or nine o'clock in the evening when Qingshuijian came out of the bar, but judging from the moonlight outside, it should be almost early in the morning.

"It's only twelve o'clock, isn't that still early?"

Sakurai Haruka supported herself on the mattress and slowly got up from Shimizumi's body.

Is twelve o'clock still early?
Shimizu wondered if Haruka Sakurai had said something wrong, and then he caught a glimpse of Ichinose Shiki and Ayase Kotone who were almost approaching the door of the room, and suddenly realized that Haruka Sakurai might not have said this to him.

"It's still so early, are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Sakurai Haruka turned her head, her eyes suddenly became sharp, and she shot straight at Ichinose Shiki who was holding her hand on the door handle.

Suddenly, the air in the room seemed to solidify and was so heavy that it almost suffocated people. The whole space was gradually shrouded in an indescribable atmosphere of tension, causing Qing Shuijian to hold his breath involuntarily.

Ichinose Shiki held the door handle and did not take the next step.

When Sakurai Haruka saw Ichinose Shiki wearing only underwear with large areas of skin exposed, she couldn't help but frown.

She knew that it was right for her to be on guard against her.

Today he was just a little careless, and the other party took the opportunity to attack Qingshuijian.

Although it was just her guess before, but today the fact is right in front of her, forcing her to be convinced.

Sakurai Haruka couldn't help but guess that the reason why Ichinose Shiki came to work in the bar was to get close to Shimizu Mi.

The more she thought about it, the more she found this woman who coveted her man dazzling, and then she got up from Qing Shuijian's body.

"remote……"

Shimizu grabbed Sakurai Haruka's forearm from behind.

He did not do this to stop Sakurai Haruka. Shimizu Mi knew that what was coming would come, and he had long foreseen that in the worst case scenario, it would most likely turn out like this.

"At least put your underwear on first."

Sakurai Haruka is not wearing anything now. No matter what she is going to do next, she has to at least put on her underwear first.

Upon hearing this, Sakurai Haruka was stunned for a moment, then she looked deeply at Ichinose Shiki and the other person standing beside the door. As if she had thought of something, a subtle curve appeared at the corner of her lips. Then she picked up the underwear thrown on the side of the bed and put it on slowly.

When they were halfway through, Sakurai Haruka suddenly turned around and said to Shimizumi:

"See, help me tie the back."

"..."

Shimizumi quickly understood Sakurai Haruka's intention, but under the circumstances, he had no way to refuse.

With his hands gently stroking Sakurai Haruka's smooth back, Shimizu helped her button up the back of her shirt.

"Thank you."

Sakurai Haruka smiled and kissed Shimizu Ken on the cheek, then shook her hair, tidied it up, and got out of bed.

"You didn't just walk into the wrong room, did you?"

Sakurai Haruka said as he walked towards the two of them.

Although Shimizu Mi also wanted to follow, he had to look for it by the bed first because he didn't know where Ayase Kotone put his underwear after taking it off.

"If I say yes, will Miss Sakurai let us go?"

Ichinose Shiki gave a slightly awkward smile, trying his best to remain calm, and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Really? That's a coincidence. I just asked the front desk clerk at the hotel and she said there were two girls claiming their friend was drunk and wanted to take him to the hotel to rest. They must be talking about you, right?"

Sakurai Haruka walked up to the two of them and stopped.

"Ms. Sakurai, I think there must be something wrong..."

"Is that a mistake? I remember there seems to be a surveillance camera at the entrance of the hotel. Do I need to check it out?"

"No, that's not necessary... Well, actually, Mr. Shimizu said he was not feeling well, so we thought of bringing him to the hotel to rest, right, Kotone?"

Ichinose Shiki nudged the side of Ayase Kotone beside him with his elbow.

However, Ayase Kotone lowered her head and did not react at all.

She hugged her clothes tightly in front of her body as if to cover up her shame, and her toes were bent on the floor, her nervousness visibly evident.

"You are... President Ayase?"

After staring at her face for three or four seconds, Sakurai Haruka recognized Ayase Kotone.

"Why is President Ayase here?"

"..."

Ayase Kotone still kept her head down and said nothing, but her cheeks had already turned red with shame.

At this moment, something suddenly fell out from between the clothes that Ayase Kotone was holding and made a slight sound when it landed on the floor.

When Ayase Kotone saw it, she immediately reached out to pick it up, but Sakurai Haruka picked it up first.

"This is……"

Sakurai Haruka looked at the disposable 'glove' in her hand that she hadn't opened yet, and then looked at the shameful and embarrassed expression of Ayase Kotone in front of her, and suddenly realized - could she be a sneaky cat too? !

Although he had guessed in advance that it was Ichinose Shiki, Sakurai Haruka had never imagined that the other person would be the student council president of his school, Ayase Kotone.

Ayase Kotone is usually well-regarded among many students for her strict adherence to school rules and her dignified and proper demeanor. Even though Sakurai Haruka saw it with her own eyes, she still found it a little unbelievable.

Looking at the Ayase Kotone in front of her who was half-dressed and without even her underwear on, Sakurai Haruka even doubted whether this was the same Ayase Kotone she knew.

But no matter what, even as the student council president, Sakurai Haruka couldn't just let them leave like that.
