He even knew such a private detail that only she herself knew. This wasn't just'seeing' anymore; this was practically at the level of close-up observation!
The massive sense of shame and shock made her head spin and her vision darken. She almost followed in the footsteps of her previous heatstroke and fainted on the spot.
How could such a thing have happened while she was completely unaware...
Shioyaki Lemon felt like her soul was about to float out from the top of her head.
How could such a thing... something more ridiculous than any manga plot, have happened while she was completely unaware?!
She carefully retraced her past memories in her mind, trying to find some clue from those blurry fragments.
But there was nothing...
Whether it was the memory of the heatstroke day or any fragment from childhood to now, she couldn't find any event that matched 'proactively taking off clothes in front of a boy and hugging him like a rogue'!
Although she still didn't remember what happened, what comforted her was that there were no similar preceding or succeeding events in her memory.
Meaning, this kind of thing had only happened once, and only in front of Kin-chan!
If such a thing really happened, so what if Kin-chan saw her body?
Shioyaki Lemon suddenly realized that she... didn't seem as repulsed as she had imagined.
In fact, within that shame that brought her to the brink of fainting, there was even a bit of excitement at being seen by him.
Since Anna could progress to that point with him...
Then being'seen' by Kin-chan didn't seem like something unacceptable anymore.
Besides, he hadn't seen everything, just her upper body...
The shackles in her heart seemed to vanish all at once at this moment.
So,
Kin-chan is her heaven-ordained boyfriend?!!
This kind of misunderstanding plot that only happens in romance manga, the kind used to push the relationship between the male and female leads forward...
Even though her body was seen by Kin-chan, Kin-chan is her boyfriend, so there's absolutely no problem.
Shioyaki Lemon's heart suddenly became decisive and bold. She lunged forward, hugged Imaizumi Keita's waist, and acted spoiled.
"But... since you've already seen everything, Kin-chan, then do I... not need to be so reserved anymore?"
Anyway, the most shameful thing has already 'happened'.
Since he even knows about that little mole, what else does she have to hide or be shy about in front of him?
"W-Wait, that's not what I meant..." Imaizumi Keita was caught a bit off guard by her sudden change. "I just felt it was necessary to tell you about it..."
"I don't care!" Shioyaki Lemon nuzzled into his chest like a brat, as if to completely discard her previous shame and reserve. "Anyway, you just know! You saw! You have to take responsibility!"
This unreasonable behavior made Imaizumi Keita a bit between laughter and tears.
Before he could say anything more, the girl in his arms had already plucked up the courage to kiss him.
Shioyaki Lemon's movements were very clumsy, yet full of reckless courage and momentum.
Imaizumi Keita was slightly startled at first, but then he put his arm around Lemon's waist and cooperated.
After a long time, the two separated.
Shioyaki Lemon came back to her senses, her cheeks red as she leaned against Imaizumi Keita's chest, too shy to speak.
I like Kin-chan so much!
I want to stay with Kin-chan forever!
Such thoughts echoed in Shioyaki Lemon's mind, and her hands gently grasped Imaizumi Keita's clothes without letting go.
In this silent atmosphere between the two.
A thought she had deliberately ignored before suddenly surfaced in her mind.
That was, why was Kin-chan wearing a high-collared sports shirt today? Could there be some secret hidden underneath?
Since Kin-chan hadn't stopped her, now was the perfect time to verify it!
Shioyaki Lemon's gaze sharpened slightly, and she almost instinctively reached out, grabbing the collar of Imaizumi Keita's sweatshirt and pulling it down.
Imaizumi Keita had noticed Shioyaki Lemon's intention but had no intention of stopping her.
After the collar was pulled open, what appeared in Shioyaki Lemon's eyes were several reddened marks.
It looked like they were bite marks.
Shioyaki Lemon's gaze fixed on those reddened wounds.
Imaizumi Keita glanced down following her gaze and somewhat unnaturally tried to pull his collar back up.
"What's wrong?"
He was asking a question he already knew the answer to, and he was also a bit unsure how to handle it.
Being overly concerned and wanting to accommodate the other person's feelings made the situation feel like a dilemma.
"It's nothing."
Shioyaki Lemon shook her head and said softly, "I was just thinking..."
"Lemon..."
He was just about to say something to tell her not to mind it.
Shioyaki Lemon directly reached out, gently grabbing the front of his sweatshirt to prevent him from backing away.
Then, she stood slightly on her tiptoes and buried her face in the hollow of his neck, precisely at the symmetrical position of those wounds.
The warm breath brushing against his skin made Imaizumi Keita's body involuntarily yield to Shioyaki Lemon.
This scene, this posture, instantly reminded him of that night not long ago at the Hotel.
"Mmm..."
Before he could react, a slight stinging sensation came from the side of his neck.
Lemon had gently bitten two small marks into his neck as well.
Perhaps out of pity, Shioyaki Lemon, having bitten him, was about to straighten up and face Imaizumi Keita, but she didn't expect Imaizumi Keita to suddenly tense up.
"What's wrong with you, Kin-chan?!"
Seeing Imaizumi Keita's action of slightly pushing her away, Shioyaki Lemon couldn't help but feel a bit wronged.
"I just wanted you to stop..."
Imaizumi Keita helplessly replied.
This action itself wasn't really a problem, but it made Shioyaki Lemon feel a bit hurt.
"Kin-chan, don't you want me to kiss you?"
Shioyaki Lemon looked at Imaizumi Keita, reached out to pinch his cheek, taking the opportunity to make an issue out of it: "If Anna can do it, why can't I? You clearly said before that I'm also..."
"That's because..."
Imaizumi Keita hesitated, not finishing his sentence.
"Because what? Tell me!"
"Because Anna caused the trouble, and she can handle it. Lemon, you might not necessarily be able to..."
He rubbed his temple, his voice full of weariness.
"Of course I'd handle any trouble I cause..."
Shioyaki Lemon frowned slightly at his words, a look of confusion in her eyes: "Besides, what trouble is there? It's just the two of us here, right?"
Imaizumi Keita's body moved unnaturally, adjusting his stance, and his eyes also looked somewhat troubled.
Shioyaki Lemon's confusion lasted only a second. When she followed his subtle posture change and glanced downwards, her cheeks flushed crimson all the way to her ears.
"See," Imaizumi Keita looked up at her, his tone tinged with resentment and helplessness, "you never listen to me."
"How are you going to handle this mess now?"
