Summary: The Elves' Daily Love

This was Yunci’s first experience taking classes in a hot spring.

The scenery here is beautiful and the air is fresh, but it's a pity that I'm here to study.

"——Let's go on a date here alone next time."

Natsume Takashi looked at Yun Ci tenderly: "Okay."

He did not refuse, but was just thinking in his mind how to make some money without adding extra expenses to the Fujiwara family.

The two of them were walking through the woods, followed by a cat who had no idea that he was a third wheel.

When we arrived at the kiln house on the mountain, the owner said that the tea bowls would not be ready until tomorrow.

The two could only return the same way and go again tomorrow -

Suddenly, there was a noise in the woods.

Natsume Takashi frowned and looked over, and found two monsters bullying a little fox boy.

He quickly went over to stop them and beat down 2 monsters who tried to teach him a lesson.

The little fox looked at Natsume Takashi nervously: "Human, human...!"

The hair on his tail stood up and he quickly picked up his hat and dived into the bushes.

Natsume Takashi smiled helplessly and walked towards Yun Ci who was waiting on the side.

Madara stretched out on the branch, and slid down the tree using his front paws: "You're still so nosy, Natsume."

"It's Natsume after all."

"Yes, this is Natsume."

Natsume Takashi looked at the cat and the man who had been talking to each other for no apparent reason, and tilted his head in confusion: "?"

"Nothing happened—"

With the looming gaze from the dark, the two people and the cat returned to the hot spring.

After finishing their afternoon homework, Yun Ci and Natsume Takashi went to the hot spring separately in the evening.

Because the hot spring specially selected by the school does not allow mixed bathing.

Boys and girls are separated.

Although only separated by a wall.

That vague feeling of being watched has never disappeared.

Natsume Takashi naturally noticed it as well and felt a little embarrassed.

After all, he only comes here occasionally and will go home tomorrow. It would be too pitiful if the little fox developed feelings for him because of yesterday's accidental incident.

The next day when they went to get the tea bowls, Yun Ci did not accompany Natsume Takashi, but instead communicated with classmates about some academic issues.

But Natsume Takashi hadn't come back yet, and the sky outside was rapidly getting dark.

Nishimura Satoru, who was worried about the questions, suddenly looked up and tried to quickly end this extra lesson.

"Come to think of it, Natsume didn't bring an umbrella with him when he went out?"

The poked Kita Benedict Shi quickly responded: "That's too bad, I'm afraid I'm going to get wet."

Yun Ci put away the textbook with a smile. Her eyes were gentle, but they made Nishimura Satoru and Kita Bendu Shi sit up straight.

"I hope you two can give me the answers to these questions before class this afternoon, okay?"

Nishimura Satoru and Kita Benedicto nodded repeatedly and watched Yun Ci pack up her things and leave with an umbrella.

Yunci likes the forest in the rain very much.

She hadn't enjoyed such peace for a long time.

——Like returning to the mother's womb.

Although she has never been in the matrix, if you really want to count, the furnace for refining weapons is her matrix... ?

Yun Ci was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, the rain had stopped.

She didn't hesitate and continued walking up the mountain.

The mountain road was a bit muddy, and Yun Ci walked very slowly. Then, halfway through, she met Natsume Takashi who was coming down the mountain, with a familiar little fox following him.

"Xiaoci?"

Yunci held up the umbrella and waved it at Natsume Takashi: "Takashi——"

"I wanted to pick you up, but I didn't expect the rain to end so quickly."

Natsume Takashi took two umbrellas, took Yun Ci's hand, and looked at her shoes that were stained by water.

"Is it cold?"

"It's actually okay, and we're guarding the hot spring. We can go take a dip after class." Yun Ci looked at the little fox tenderly, "It seems like you two have become good friends?"

The little fox, who had wanted to hide because of nervousness, suddenly stood up his ears, looked at Natsume Takashi with bright eyes, and then nodded vigorously.

——Yes, they are friends!

"Then..." Yunci told the little fox her home address, "As proof of our friendship, you can come here to find Natsume anytime..."

After the hot spring training ended, Yun Ci started to take leave and went to the new crew to start filming.

This time the script is a modern drama, Yun Ci plays the girlfriend of the male lead Mingdao Zhouqi——

To put it in one sentence, it is the literature of youth pain.

The two of them tortured each other to death, and it was not one-sided, like illegal physical and mental abuse such as digging out kidneys, but it was very youthful and purely heart-wrenching.

Anyway, Yun Ci gave a great performance.

She often shed tears during the filming, which made her eyes very uncomfortable.

During the intermission, Yun Ci sat on the swing and talked to Natsume Takashi on the phone.

"——Mr. Zhang Shi?"

"Yes, I heard that he was also someone who could see monsters, although only in the past."

Yun Ci remembered.

"That's what Hotaru told you."

"Eh? Hotaru?"

"Wearing a mask, with long curly hair—"

Natsume Takashi was very surprised: "So it's the monster that Xiaoci knows?"

"Not really, she was my former client." Yun Ci swayed gently, the breeze blowing her hair, swaying back and forth, "I didn't expect she's still with Mr. Zhang Shi, even though we've already said goodbye."

The firefly said that they were friends, but if they were really just friends, why would it always follow Mr. Zhang Shi?

It's just that she feels that... as a monster, she can't stay with Mr. Zhang Shi forever.

From Natsume Takashi, Yun Ci learned that Mr. Zhang Shi was still going to get married as in the plot. As for why he appeared in the old place where they met, it was probably because he was reminiscing about the past and wanted to express his nostalgia.

"——My girlfriend has never shown such an attractive expression when she is with me." Natori Zhouyi, who was dressed in a suit and had his own special effects, appeared in front of Yunci, leaned forward slightly, and lifted Yunci's chin with his right hand. "Who is this smile on your face for?"

Yun Ci smiled: "Mr. Natori."

She ignored the gecko monster that kept crawling on Natori Shuichi as if she couldn't see it.

"Are you going to start working?"

Natori stood up straight with a smile on his face: "Yes, it's time to start."

"I'll be there right away."

Yunci spoke a few more words to Natsume Takashi before hanging up the phone and following Natori Shuichi's footsteps.

Natori Zhou hid the observation in his eyes very well, and smiled and turned his head to look at Yun Ci.

"How's the preparation going? This scene is about to end. Do you need to go back to school during the break?"

"This break happens to be a holiday, and I'm going on a date with my boyfriend."

Natori Zhou Yi looked at Yun Ci in surprise. He put his index finger in front of his lips and said, "Shh, I will keep it a secret for you."

"Hey?" Yun Ci waved her hand. "This doesn't need to be kept secret. The contract between me and the company doesn't forbid this—"

After all, she started out as a part-time model, and the company didn't have many restrictions on her, so there was no "no dating" requirement in the contract.
