In a moment of quick thinking, Ye Shunguanguan grabbed the Instax camera and said flusteredly, “Master, let’s take a photo together!”
“This camera is…?”
“It—it was a gift from Senior Sister Fufu!”
If she said her brother gave it to her, she would certainly be exposed.
Ye Shunguanguan decided to stall for as long as possible, hoping that once the Senior saw the photos, he would understand her meaning.
*I’m sorry.*
Xiao Guang truly had no way to stop her Master from worrying about her.
Besides, the idea of cuddling with her Master to sleep was indeed quite tempting to Xiao Guang.
Her Master was just like a mother…
Though she was not fond of words in daily life, she loved her dearly.
*Click…*
The image froze.
Ye Shunguanguan was frantic, while Yi Xuan held the photo with a touch of helplessness.
She could obviously tell her beloved disciple was trying to hide something.
The sudden urge to take a photo was also inexplicable.
But sometimes, even between the closest of master and disciple, a certain boundary had to be maintained.
“Sorry, Xiao Guang, for putting you in a difficult position.
It’s my fault for arriving so suddenly.
It won’t happen again.
Ahem…
your Master guarantees she won’t perch on your windowsill.”
“Hmm…
Master is so mean.”
“Xiao Guang is really going to get angry now!”
Fortunately, she didn’t probe further.
Ye Shunguanguan clung to her Master and acted spoiled, slowly letting out a breath of relief.
Her gaze shifted toward the diary, hoping the Senior could understand!
Xiao Guang would make a proper apology.
However, once again, she had rushed out wearing only her pajamas.
What would the Senior think when he saw that?
Once was an accident.
This was the second time, *waaaah…*
Yi Xuan, however, was quite curious about the Instax camera.
Its construction was unlike anything she had seen before.
But she didn’t dwell on that now.
Tonight was for heart-to-heart bonding with her disciple!
For once, the Master revealed a rather improper side, shaking the camera as she extended her “devilish” hand toward her disciple.
“Since we’re already taking photos, why don’t I take a few more for you?
Come to think of it, Xiao Guang, you’ve reached an age where you should understand certain things.”
“Let your Master give you a proper lesson.”
“Wait, Master!
What are you doing?
I’m not fully dressed yet!”
“It’s no matter.
There are only the two of us here.
Don’t be shy, Xiao Guang.
Come, your Master will take you to the backyard to soak in the hot springs!”
Yi Xuan beamed with a smile and skillfully opened her disciple’s wardrobe.
Most of the clothes inside had been picked out by her; after all, what girl doesn’t love beauty?
And the truth was…
She discovered that the clothes Xiao Guang picked for herself were even more seductive.
How should she put it?
*Whew…*
Tonight, she was going all out to be as wild as her disciple wanted!
“Don’t be shy.
Did you forget that when you had your first period, it was your Master who taught you?
Xiao Guang, don’t worry, Master is with you!”
“…”
Ye Shunguanguan turned red from head to toe, trembling as if she had been hit by a spell.
She allowed Yi Xuan to lead her away, her mind going blank.
The problem wasn’t whether she was shy or not!
Master couldn’t just take photos haphazardly!
She really couldn’t!
Give it back to Xiao Guang!
No more photos!
“Master, please give it back to your disciple~”
“Xiao Guang, your eyes clearly write ‘excitement.’ It truly makes it difficult for your Master to guess your thoughts.”
“No!
Xiao Guang isn’t excited at all!”
Ye Shunguanguan’s temperature spiked; she was one step away from drawing her sword and dueling Yi Xuan.
Fortunately, as a Master, Yi Xuan naturally didn’t take nude photos of her disciple.
They simply soaked in the hot springs together, played under the moonlight in the bamboo grove, and sat on the edge of a cliff drinking wine…
Drunk and hazy, Ye Shunguanguan had given up resisting.
She…
no longer had the face to chat with the Senior.
The Senior would definitely think she was an exhibitionist, a pervert.
“Waaaaah…”
“Good disciple, don’t cry~”
A simple comfort, yet it caused the grievances to overflow.
“Xiao Guang hates Master the most…
always making me cultivate in the mountains, not letting me go out.
Xiao Guang just wants to be like a normal girl!”
“I know.
Master does everything for Xiao Guang’s own good.”
“But Xiao Guang is so lonely by herself…”
Ye Shunguanguan collapsed into Yi Xuan’s arms, sobbing.
In vino veritas; her repressed emotions finally found release.
A few gusts of clear breeze carried away her sorrows.
Yi Xuan simply held her disciple, apologizing over and over.
In a few more days, once she had handled the affairs of Chenghui Square, seen through the mayor’s schemes, and dealt with the Praise Society…
“I’ll let Xiao Guang go down the mountain then, alright?”
“No, I want to go down now…”
“Pfft.
Is Xiao Guang throwing a tantrum with Master?
What, are you planning to go down the mountain wrapped in a bath towel?”
Crying, Ye Shunguanguan pounced on her Master, burying her head deep in her embrace, becoming impossibly clingy.
*It’s Master’s fault I’m wrapped in a bath towel…*
She began to evade reality.
She had absolutely no idea how to face the Senior tomorrow!
Meanwhile, Yi Xuan was in a wonderful mood, her maternal glow radiating.
From the bottom of her heart, she thanked the man who had reminded her.
Senior Jiang Su was truly a divine predictor of events.
How should Yi Xuan repay this kindness?
Be an ox or a horse in the next life, or in this life…
*Pfft…* She was drunk too!
***
Dozens of kilometers away.
In the living room of Jiang Su’s small shop.
Jiang Su was leisurely reading the annotations Xiao Guang had written for each photo, replying to them one by one.
A young girl’s thoughts were always delicate.
Therefore, he had to be earnest.
[Xiao Guang: Does the dessert shop have osmanthus flavor?
I want to try it.
It would be great if Xiao Guang could go down the mountain.]
[Jiang: No, but if you come, we could discuss with the shop owner to launch a new flavor.
I also want to taste Xiao Guang’s cooking.]
[Xiao Guang: The sister in the qipao has ulterior motives toward Senior.]
[Jiang: Your Senior is currently freeloading; it’s normal for her to find me eyesore.]
[Xiao Guang: Senior isn’t allowed to bully Senior Sister.
By the way, Senior actually knows Senior Sister too?
I’m a little envious.
No wonder Senior ignored me for so long; it turns out you were busy.]
[Cough, Xiao Guang doesn’t mean to blame Senior!
If I go down the mountain, will Senior treat me to a meal alone too?]
[Jiang: As much as you want, a private treat.
In a while, I’ll make your Master let you down the mountain.
No need to be envious.]
After these replies, Jiang Su finally reached the latest page.
It was a photo.
Ye Shunguanguan in her silk pajamas, her skin faintly visible.
She was holding the camera, thus leaving the creamy whiteness beneath her collarbones completely exposed.
Exquisite…
She had taken it in a panic, likely because Yi Xuan was beside her.
Did this mean they couldn’t chat tonight?
[Jiang: It’s fine.
Spend some quality time with your Master.
We can chat tomorrow.
There are plenty of days ahead; one should cherish the person in front of them.]
With that, Jiang Su thought he could go to bed early tonight.
He felt a slight regret, but then the diary stirred once more.
One after another, beautiful images of blossoming spring light appeared.
The lovely master and disciple playing in the water.
The summer temperature was high, so there was no mist; the hot spring water was crystal clear…
In the woods, the two women danced with swords.
Their figures interlaced, their curves graceful.
Yi Xuan stood in the center of the grove, the camera capturing the image of Ye Shunguanguan attacking, her slender leg slashing down high.
Or the two of them wrestling, great chest pressing against great chest.
The women’s hair flew wildly in the ceaseless wind.
*Drip…*
A drop of crimson blood bloomed on the diary.
Jiang Su froze for a long while, then covered his nose, his expression becoming unnatural.
Showing this to someone in the middle of the night?
What’s the meaning of this…
By the way, young lady, our favorability isn’t that high yet, is it?
Isn’t this special CG unlocking a bit too early?
I’m courting Xiao Guang, and I get Yi Xuan for free?
“Master, tissues…”
[Detected that you need a release.
