Mingze Feng ate his pizza casually, placing the box on Eliza's waist as she lay down. The girl only trembled slightly but didn't object.

Only the raindrops on the car window pattered and splashed against the glass, creating a blurry curtain of water.

Rainwater streamed down the windshield, leaving fine streaks, like someone humming softly outside the window, intermittent, muffled, and silvery.

Mingze Feng leaned back in his car seat, his vision blocked by the rain, as if the world had shrunk to just the small space inside the car. He glanced down at the girl's blonde hair.

The car was small, filled with the sound of continuous rain, and the air felt damp. Maintaining the same position for so long, Eliza Shimizu was sweating profusely.

Besides the smell of pizza and cheese, the girl's own scent gradually spread.

Eliza Shimizu paused for a moment, then let out a soft hum, as if swallowing a bite of pizza, or perhaps swallowing her words. For a moment, only the sound of raindrops tapping on the window filled the car.

Naruzawa Kaede used a tissue to wipe the grease from the corner of her mouth. Shimizu Eliza raised her chin and let Naruzawa Kaede's finger gently touch her lips.

Mingze Feng tossed the tissues into the trash bag by the car door, leaned back in his seat, stretched, and let out a long sigh.

"call......"

Eliza Shimizu nestled in his arms, her blonde hair gently draped over his shoulder.

"Has Kiku done this before?" Eliza asked abruptly.

"..."

Mingze Feng blinked and nodded.

"Then... Senior Xingge?"

Mingze Feng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

“Hmm…” Eliza Shimizu pouted.

Mingze Feng rubbed her head and said, "This is the first time I've done this in a car."

Eliza didn't answer, but simply tilted her head and rubbed her forehead against his chin.

The rain grew heavier, pattering against the roof of the car. Fog formed on the windows, blurring the world. They were inside the vehicle, as if trapped in a time outside of their own world.

In that brief moment, they exchanged body temperature and a touch of greed.

Chapter 19 Toyokawa Shoko: So you were talking about Kaede's girlfriend...

A light drizzle falls, a luxurious carriage hears the sound of rain bells, and a beautiful woman is by his side. Unexpectedly, in this foreign land of London, such a poetic scene unfolds.

The rumbling of rain pounded against the car windows and roof; a misty rain curtain fell all around, like a water cascade.

It was very quiet inside the car.

Ming Zefeng was sleeping soundly, his brows relaxed, and even his sleeping face had a smile on it.

Perhaps it was a dream of my childhood, watching the wind and rain from my mother's arms and my father's command, or perhaps it was simply because Eliza Shimizu's body was so warm.

Girls are strange like that; their feet are always cold, but when you hold them in your arms, they feel warm and soft, and your whole body warms up.

Of course, this is an illusion; the warmth is thanks to the car's air conditioning.

However, Eliza turned on the air conditioning and filled the car with gas. So it's fair to say that it was the girl's doing.

Speaking of which... the girl has become a woman.

Even now, when she thinks back on what she did, Eliza Shimizu's heart still races.

Eliza Shimizu sighed; she couldn't sleep.

Mingze Feng's snoring echoed in the car, very softly. Eliza leaned against the man's shoulder, and because the distance was so close, the sound was almost right next to her ear, so it sounded very noisy, like grinding a saw.

Eliza didn't move. Firstly, the car was small, and finding a comfortable position wasn't easy, plus it was raining outside... Secondly...

Eliza knew that Mingze Feng had been taking care of a girl at the hospital. Until he left early yesterday morning, he went drinking, went on a date with her, and worked; he hadn't slept at all.

Although I probably won't get a good rest in the car, I'll just have to make do for now.

Eliza Shimizu shifted her head, one hand gripping her phone as she scrolled through videos—a posture where only the thumb needed to move, perfect for killing time.

With his other hand, he casually fiddled with his crotch.

Okay, Eliza was focused on this, sometimes intertwining her index and middle fingers, sometimes pinching them together with her thumb and index finger. She even paused the video on her phone for a while.

He spread his thumb and middle finger to gesture.

Eliza Shimizu's mouth gaped open, and she couldn't help but wonder how that thing managed to squeeze in.

The rain had lessened considerably. As a native English speaker, Eliza thought the rain was about to stop.

As soon as a figure walked past the car window, Eliza Shimizu subconsciously pressed down the gear shift and hid it under her palm.

Mingze Feng was suddenly jolted awake. The first thing he saw was a girl holding an umbrella. He paused before he could speak.

The girl's silhouette was blurred through the car window; her blue hair was slightly curled, and her skirt swayed as she passed the vehicle.

The rain had lightened considerably by then, and Mingze Feng could see clearly, yet he thought it was just his eyes hallucinating.

My heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

Before Mingze Feng could think further, he felt a strange sensation on his thigh and couldn't help but shrink his lower abdomen.

After looking down, Mingze Feng was speechless.

Eliza Shimizu awkwardly withdrew her hand and licked it. She straightened up, pressed herself against Naruzawa Kaede's chest, and then leaned in, her cheek against his.

Mingze Feng looked into Eliza's eyes and heard her say softly, "Wait until the rain lets up a little before you leave, okay? I'm still a little hungry."

Mingze Feng didn't speak, still a little sleepy, but when Eliza made a move, he reached out and pressed her head.

When the phone rang in the car, Mingze Feng held Eliza's shoulder and grabbed the phone.

"Who?"

"Junda Mana, she should be at the theater..."

Mingze Feng tugged at the girl, but Eliza didn't seem to be planning to get up.

Stop causing trouble...

Naruzawa Kaede glanced down at Eliza, who raised her eyebrows defiantly.

Then hurry up!

have to...

Mingze Feng clicked his tongue. This time, he had encountered a succubus.

Fortunately, there was no sound of running or clapping in the car, so Mingze Feng answered the phone.

"Hey?"

"Hello? Mr. Kaede, you finally answered. It's Junda Mana."

The voice on the other end of the phone was light and cheerful; I could faintly hear her walking, and the sound of raindrops dripping on an umbrella was intermittent.

"Director Shiina is looking for you. He said tomorrow's rehearsal needs to be moved up a bit. If it's convenient, would 1 PM be enough?"

A friend wants to treat you to lunch.

"That... hiss—"

Naruzawa opened his mouth, intending to say something, but Shimizu Eliza used force, causing Naruzawa to clench his teeth.

After a couple more moments, Eliza Shimizu swallowed. She opened her mouth wide and licked her lips with her tongue.

Mingze Feng pinched her face, signaling her to be quiet.

Mingze Feng ignored her, patted her head as if dealing with a cat throwing a tantrum.

Eliza wasn't angry; she just snorted softly, pulled out two tissues from the side, and wiped her mouth. Then she shifted her position, sat on Mingze Feng's lap, and openly listened to the same phone call.

You could have used speakerphone. Although Naruzawa Kaede really wanted to say that, Eliza would probably reply with something like, "She just wants to sit like this," or "Kaede, you're pressing against me, do you want more?"

"Maple? Are you listening?"

Junda Mana's tone became more questioning.

"Yes, I'm here." Mingze Feng cleared his throat. "I'll skip the meal, but I'll be there on time for the rehearsal."

"Sigh, can't I even invite you to dinner?"

“That won’t work either…” Mingze Feng grabbed Eliza’s hand that was on the gear shift, his eyes wide.

Meanwhile, Mingze Feng said over the phone.

"It's a shame, my girlfriend was listening when you said that."

Eliza Shimizu blinked.

She looked around, then pointed to herself and tilted her head.

Mingze Feng couldn't help but laugh first.

Eliza Shimizu puffed out her cheeks and punched Naruzawa Kaede on the shoulder with her little fist.

Her face was very red, as if even her eyes were tinged with pink.

On the phone, Mana Junda's voice rang out again.

"...Huh? Is he really my friend? Sigh, sister, there's nothing between Brother Feng and me~"

Eliza Shimizu reached out and grabbed the back of Naruzawa Kaede's hand that was holding the phone. She said,

"Alright, I'll take Kaede there tomorrow. Mana-san, please take care of Kaede these next few days."

"That's great... Hehe, actually I'm the one being taken care of... Ah, please don't mind me saying that. Anyway, see you tomorrow, and you're welcome to join our dinner party."

Mana Junda's voice is as sweet as ever.

Mana Junta hung up the phone, and the car returned to silence. Naruzawa Kaede and Eliza both had things to do and didn't need to talk much.

The rain stopped sometime ago, the gray-blue sky was vast and distant, and the washed streets seemed to have been filtered through a high-transparency lens, making even the sharp edges of the buildings appear distinct.

Eliza Shimizu tilted her head, which was resting on Naruzawa Kaede's shoulder, so that she met his gaze. Her back was against Naruzawa Kaede's chest, her thighs were pressed against his thighs, and her feet were on top of each other, so she was practically sitting on him.

"Hey handsome..."

Eliza Shimizu smiled and squinted her eyes. She breathed on Naruzawa Kaede's profile, the air carrying a faint scent of heather.

It doesn't smell good at all.

"Get up."

As Mingze Feng spoke, he tried to pull one of his legs out from under her, but it was firmly pressed down by the thigh she was sitting on.

"So you're going to deny it now that you've already done your job? What did you say when you were calling him your girlfriend just now...?"

Eliza Shimizu opened her mouth and reached out to try to lift Naruzawa Kaede's chin.

"Come on, say it again, and there's a reward!"

Ming Zefeng dodged the female hooligan's hand and replied rudely, "Your smile is too lewd."

"I think you just don't want to get up!"

Eliza rubbed her thighs together and looked over defiantly, "Saying I'm perverted is pointless. I don't know who's really the one who can't get down."

Mingze Feng grinned and patted Eliza on the shoulder.

Mingze Feng: "Get up first."

Eliza: "You go down, then I'll go down."

Mingze Feng: "I can't get down if you don't get up."

Eliza: "I'm confident I can help you get down there."

"It'll make a mess everywhere..."

"Then let's go in first."

Where did this female hooligan come from? She revealed her true colors after getting into bed, didn't she? No, these hooligan tendencies were already showing signs back in Tokyo.

Sighing and shaking his head, Mingze Feng still had no choice but to lift Eliza up with both hands and gently move her towards the driver's seat.

Eliza lay down, one leg propped up on her hand, her mouth slightly open, looking anything but ladylike.

Mingze Feng pulled something over to cover her up, then put on his own clothes. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "You know you look a lot like that kind of person..."

"A beautiful, sensible, and caring girlfriend?"
