Chapter 81: Yumi’s Favorability Reaches 98!

After the lovemaking ended, the two of them felt ravenously hungry and utterly exhausted.

They exchanged a look, tacitly agreeing to rest for a bit first and make further plans once their physical strength had recovered a little.

Thus, they found a comfortable spot in the room to sit down, relaxing their minds and bodies to allow their tense nerves to ease.

After a while, with their stomachs rumbling terribly, Kitahara helped Yumi-chan put on her clothes and supported her as they headed out the door toward the restaurant to eat.

The hotel restaurant had a wonderful environment, and with few diners around, there were plenty of empty tables to choose from.

Kitahara picked a seat by the window so they could savor fine food while taking in the beautiful view outside.

Once seated, he summoned a waiter, not only ordering several signature dishes but also specially instructing the staff to arrange for someone to change their room’s bedding for a brand new set.

After all, following that intense struggle just now, the originally neat and clean bedding had become quite messy and disheveled.

Those wrinkles and creases seemed to tell the tale of everything that had transpired earlier, and perhaps they were also stained with a bit of sweat or other less-than-pleasant marks.

Such a condition was obviously incapable of providing a comfortable and pleasant sleeping environment for exhausted people.

Therefore, replacing it with fresh bedding in a timely manner was especially important.

This was also the most basic form of care and consideration for guests.

...

In the restaurant, the dining table was laden with delicious food, yet Matsuda Yumi ate as if chewing wax, clearly in no mood to enjoy the meal.

Had it not been for the fact that the recent ordeal had consumed too much of her stamina, leaving her stomach genuinely ravenous, she might not have had the appetite to eat at all.

Kitahara Chiki, on the other hand, ate with great relish, occasionally raising his glass to take a sip of wine or looking through the glass window at the bustling night view outside.

Noticing Matsuda Yumi’s frowning, worry-laden expression, he spoke up to comfort her:

"Yumi-chan, what are you thinking? Listen to me, this really isn’t a big problem at all. Just relax!"

As he spoke, he patted Matsuda Yumi’s shoulder, offering her a warm and steadfast sense of reassurance.

"But Senpai, I... I always feel like I can’t satisfy you... Being like this... makes me feel so ashamed, like I’m not enough for you. You won’t despise me because of this, will you, Senpai?"

Matsuda Yumi asked pitifully.

What she was currently worried about was whether she could truly satisfy Kitahara Chiki.

Just now, Kitahara-senpai hadn’t shown any dissatisfaction, but she wondered if he was deliberately acting that way just to spare her feelings.

Or did he truly not mind from the bottom of his heart?

Hearing this, Kitahara said:

"I really won’t. If Yumi-chan is truly uneasy about it, we can take things slowly. Rest assured, I will never hold a grudge against you because of this. In fact, to tell you the truth, I’m already more than satisfied with you."

"What?! Really? You’re really satisfied with me, Senpai, instead of being disappointed?"

"Why would I be disappointed?" Kitahara countered.

"I... I can’t really explain it either..."

"Then isn’t that settled? None of that matters. In this matter, what matters most is how both sides feel. I’m extremely satisfied with Yumi-chan—how about you, Yumi-chan? How do you feel about me?" Kitahara Chiki said.

"Me? Naturally, I feel that you couldn’t be more perfect, Senpai! Although being with you takes a lot of effort on my part—after all, you are so outstanding, which was beyond my expectations and truly surprised me, to be honest—it also makes me feel so happy and joyful. I still feel extremely honored."

Matsuda Yumi spoke earnestly, a happy smile beginning to bloom on her face.

Setting that matter aside, Matsuda Yumi truly felt today was perfect.

Kitahara’s brilliance required her to exert immense effort just to keep pace with him, placing a lot of pressure on her. Yet every single moment spent with him was filled with surprises and anticipation, a kind of happiness that was hard to put into words.

Even now, looking back on it, she was filled to the brim with happiness.

Hearing her words, Kitahara comforted her once more:

"Haha, it seems we are very compatible, then. That will allow us to create even more beautiful memories in our future life together. Believe me, Yumi-chan, I really haven’t lied to you. I will walk hand-in-hand with you through everything, moving toward a future that belongs to us together."

"Matsuda Yumi’s affection level +1,"

"Matsuda Yumi’s affection level +1,"

"Matsuda Yumi’s affection level +1"...

The continuous rise in affection level put Kitahara Chiki in a great mood.

He glanced at the system panel—Matsuda Yumi’s affection level had actually reached 98 points.

It was almost absurd.

He hadn’t even wooed her that much, and it was already near max value!

He even felt a bit embarrassed.

At this moment, Kitahara considered giving more of himself to Matsuda Yumi so she could gain even greater happiness.

He couldn’t let such a good girl be let down.

After this series of thoughtful and warm words of comfort from Kitahara, the overcast mood hanging over Matsuda Yumi finally began to clear up.

Her tightly knitted brows slowly relaxed, and the corners of her mouth curled upward into a gentle smile.

With her mind no longer occupied by troubles and worries, her foodie nature was awakened as well, allowing her to relax and savor the fine food and wine.

When trying new things for the first time, it was inevitable for the body and mind to feel a degree of discomfort.

This delicious food served to ease that discomfort somewhat.

They seemed to possess magic, soothing their tense nerves. Every bite brought a sense of satisfaction and delight, gradually lifting a corner of that uncomfortable veil.

And a glass of mellow, fragrant wine made it even better.

As the liquid glided down her throat, that warm power instantly spread throughout her body, becoming solace for her soul and allowing her to temporarily forget all troubles and discomforts.

After finishing their meal, the two did not leave immediately, choosing instead to stay and rest for a while longer.

The atmosphere here was top-notch—the lighting soft and warm, the tables and chairs arranged neatly and gracefully, creating a cozy and elegant ambience.

Exquisite paintings hung on the walls, adding an artistic flair to the entire space.

At the same time, musicians on the stage in the center of the restaurant were passionately performing delightful tunes, the melodies soft, melodious, and lingering.

They sat there quietly, immersed in the world of music, letting their minds and bodies relax and unwind to the fullest.

Listening to these beautiful melodies and feeling the emotions and stories contained within was undoubtedly a spiritual feast.

After a long while, Kitahara carefully supported Matsuda Yumi as they slowly walked back to their room.

They were very close to each other, barely able to feel the warm breath emanating from one another.

Both of them were young, their hearts filled with curiosity and a desire to explore the unknown realms of this world.

That novel experience from before had left them wanting more, a surge of impulse rising deep within their hearts to try once again.

This impulse was like a burning flame, growing hotter and hotter, impossible to suppress.
