Want to be human, but cube-like

"It's you, Aine~"

Alex looked very happy, and she replied with a slight smile.

…………

P.S. Cherish this sweet, soft voice; I'll have to figure out how to make her start acting like a shrimp later.

I don't know if I'm just feeling lazy today, but I've been procrastinating and haven't written anything all day. Maybe I should take a day off to adjust my sleep schedule and sort out my thoughts.

It just so happens that episode 10 of "Mother Hen Card" is about to air, so I'll go see what kind of life this thing can come up with this time.

Volume 1: Chapter 155 So, can we kiss now?

"And what about Aine?"

Having answered Aine's question, Alex naturally returned the question in return.

Who was Aine's first kiss?

She looked at Aine with some anticipation.

"I……"

Unexpectedly, the boomerang hit her so quickly. Unlike Alex, Aine couldn't be completely unashamed.

Why does she have to answer such embarrassing questions?!

In fact, it was she who first brought up the topic!

Aine bit her lower lip until it turned white, and the little voice inside her wanted to go back to the self that asked that question just a few seconds ago and strangle it.

But in fact, if this matter is not clarified, Aine might be so troubled that she can't sleep all night.

"It's also Ellie..."

Helpless, Ai-yin lowered her head and hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

"So, this is Aine's first time too? That's amazing...!"

Her expression was one of surprise; it was clear that Alex was trying to express why Aine knew how to use her tongue on her very first try.

She spent so much time researching kissing online last night, but she still doesn't know exactly how to do it.

"Woo..."

Now that things have come to this, Aine has no idea how to explain it, and she can't bring herself to say that she was just dreaming about eating milk-flavored jelly.

"Then... can we do it again?"

Still savoring that wonderful feeling, Alex thought for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered the question again.

"I think Aine's lips feel quite comfortable."

As she spoke, she licked her lips.

"Soft, moist, and a little cool..."

"Stop...! Stop talking!"

Hearing Alex comment on her lips, Ai-yin was immediately embarrassed and annoyed, rushing over and covering the other's mouth with her hand.

"No, you can't kiss me anymore!"

She blushed and shouted loudly.

Fortunately, there were no other passengers in the carriage at that time; otherwise, who knows what kind of relationship the two would have been misunderstood.

"...In short, no!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Aine realized what she had done. Feeling the touch of Alex's lips on her tender palm, she immediately withdrew her hand and whispered a weak repetition of the sentence.

"But, Aine must be comfortable too, right?"

Alex puffed out her cheeks in frustration, looking quite disappointed.

"He was very proactive when we kissed just now, and even used his tongue..."

"That...that was just an accident!"

Forcibly interrupting Alex's incredibly embarrassing words, Aine turned her head away and called out guiltily.

"Accident……?"

But upon hearing this word, Alex's expression seemed to turn sad.

"I thought... Aine was expressing her love for me..."

She lowered her eyes and looked at Aiyin with a wronged expression.

"I……!"

Seeing the other person's expression, Aine froze. She couldn't bring herself to deny it, but she was also too embarrassed to admit it.

“I saw it online before; they said that kissing is an act of expressing love and affection.”

Recalling the question she hadn't fully figured out online last night, Alex took the opportunity to ask Aine, and asked directly.

I thought

Aine liked me, that's why she kissed me first... I like Aine too, so I want to kiss you again... Is that... wrong?"

With a look of eager inquiry, Alex gazed at Aine.

The latter, however, was completely frozen in place.

How is she supposed to answer that?

Should I tell Alex that girls shouldn't do this?

But Alex might not understand, and... it seems there are quite a few things like this in Britain. She may have even grown up in this kind of environment from a young age.

Not to mention, even in Tokyo, there are quite a few such special relationships between girls nowadays. Not to mention distant places, just today the burger shop served quite a few girls who went out on dates together for Valentine's Day.

However, as she recalled what happened that afternoon, Aine suddenly realized something.

Her relationship with Alex seems to have become extremely special long ago.

The night before last, Alex had already formally confessed her feelings to her.

At the time, she simply didn't know how to answer and ran away. It was also because Alex didn't necessarily need her answer, which gave Aine the opportunity to stall.

But today at the burger joint, Alex confessed her feelings to her again in front of so many people.

Although she said the same thing to Lena and even Xiangzi.

But Aine had made up her mind and made a clear promise.

Although she managed to get by like Xiangzi and Lena, if you include the confession the night before last, then her relationship with Alex is much more special than that of Xiangzi and Lena.

The simple relationship between her and Alex can never go back to what it used to be.

Not to mention, they had just... kissed.

Whether in form or in fact.

Aine and Alex are actually already in a romantic relationship.

Now, all that's left is for them to verbally acknowledge each other.

No… Alex has admitted it many times already.

Now, all that's missing is Aine's own words.

So, what about her?

What was she thinking?

"I……"

Ai Yin opened her mouth, too shy to speak. She had never imagined that one day, such a simple sentence would be so difficult for her to utter.

After rethinking her feelings for Alex, Aine seemed to gradually come to understand her own heart.

Yes, she could no longer deceive herself, and she could no longer suppress the emotions in her heart.

"I also……"

In the quiet carriage, only the faint sound of the tracks echoed, making Ai-yin's voice all the more distinct.

"It's also a liking, a fondness..."

Even the slight tremor in her voice, a tremor born of shyness, was palpable.

I like you, Ellie!

With her eyes tightly closed, Aine still shouted those words out loud in the end.

She couldn't lie to herself and say that she didn't like Alex anymore.

Those moments when I blushed and my heart raced because of Alex's actions, those moments when I would stare blankly at Alex's face.

Even though she kept telling herself that she would be going to England in a month and that the relationship would end without a trace, that long-distance relationships never end well, and that there would be no future for them.

But tonight's kiss became the final blow that shattered her defenses.

She admitted that she had fallen in love with Alex, and was absolutely smitten!

As her voice faded, Ai Yin, who had finally poured out her feelings, breathed heavily, closed her eyes tightly, and nervously awaited Alex's response.

Like a prisoner awaiting trial.

"That……"

At one point, Alex spoke, and her gentle voice made Aine instinctively hold her breath.

"Can we kiss now?"

Why are you still thinking about kissing?

Aine, who had almost lost her breath, was so angry that she nearly fainted.

…………

P.S. After much consideration, I've decided not to take leave. It's best to save the leave application for the end of the month to avoid any unforeseen circumstances that could disrupt my full attendance bonus.

See how good I am to you all! I've kept updating this!

Tomorrow, I'll do my best!

Volume 1: Chapter 156 The Farewell Kiss

As night deepened, under the bright moonlight...

The pale yellow light shone from behind, casting their shadows obliquely onto the floor in front of them. The quiet, deserted street was filled only with the soft sound of their footsteps.

Hand in hand, two stunningly beautiful young women walked home, one in front of the other.

However, unlike before, this time, it was Aine walking in front.

Following behind her, with their fingers intertwined, was Alex, whose eyes were lowered and who looked somewhat aggrieved.

Aine, who had just righteously refused Alex's request for a kiss and pulled her off the train, still had a delicate pink blush on her face.

She looked at the shadows on the ground, which were slightly off due to their different positions, and let out a heavy sigh.

He quietly slowed his pace and moved closer to Alex.

And so, the shadows that were originally separated by a thin gap became intertwined, indistinguishable from one another.

Splitting her attention slightly, Ai Yin glanced at Alex out of the corner of her eye, parted her lips slightly, and then closed them again after a moment.

At that moment, she didn't know what to say.

I have a feeling that the relationship between the two of them isn't quite normal.

They had already confessed their feelings to each other and had engaged in physical intimacy.

But can they really be considered lovers now?

However... just asking directly, about lovers or something...
