Kabedon～

The so-called kabedon is an action often seen in anime, games, or dramas.

By using the wall, hands, and body, a guy can artificially create a "domain" where the other person cannot escape, shortening the distance between them...

When the two parties in a kabedon have a clear physical disparity, the effect of the kabedon is enhanced.

For instance, at this moment, in terms of both height and body size, Yan Huan has an absolute advantage over Bai Yi.

Therefore, Bai Yi, being kabedoned against the wall by Yan Huan, was completely enveloped by the shadow of his body, as if trapped in a "cage" filled with an intense aura of Yan Huan.

"Don!"

"Huh?!"

The sound of the palm hitting the wall echoed like a great bell in Bai Yi's ears, causing her to blush and look up at the face of Yan Huan, who was so close in front of her.

She saw that he too was breathing rapidly, his gaze locked firmly on her.

Too... too close!

At this moment, Yan Huan's gaze seemed to radiate a scorching temperature; just meeting his eyes would burn her.

Thus, Bai Yi could only shyly avert her gaze, trying to escape his intense gaze, yet her face remained reluctantly facing Yan Huan.

His manner of kabedon, as if afraid she would run away...

His gaze, attracted and unwilling to look away...

And his absolutely innocent, first-love-like expression of nervousness...

Could it be... he's going to confess?!

Thinking of this, the blush on Bai Yi's face became even more prominent, even her light makeup couldn't conceal it.

"Thump... thump... thump..."

Her heart was beating so fast...

Oh come on, confessing now is just too sneaky!

Clearly...

Clearly, there should be a better occasion, at least, with a bit more ceremonial feel, right?

For example, at a grand dinner ball, after presenting her with flowers and inviting her to dance, confessing at the end of the dance with everyone watching...

So should she accept or not?

Simply agreeing would be too easy...

But if she doesn't agree and just finds some excuse to reject...

Wouldn't that be too hurtful to him?

If he thinks she doesn't like him and then becomes disheartened, giving those other guys an opportunity...

That would be troublesome!

Ahhh, damn it, what should I do!!

Bai Yi's mind was in a mess, her expression unable to hide her conflicting emotions...

Compared to her complicated thoughts, Yan Huan's mind was much simpler.

He blocked Bai Yi from any opportunity to glance back at him, and after anxiously confirming she showed no signs of suspicion, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was saved...

My lifelong reputation. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Bai Yi..."

But just as he was about to release Bai Yi from the kabedon and say something...

On his shoulder, the cat Meow-chan, staring intently at the opposite building, suddenly tapped his cheek nervously with its paw pad,

"Yan Huan, look quickly, something seems to be happening over at Sakuragi Hitomi's place!"

Huh?

Instinctively, he wanted to look up at the opposite side, but at this moment, Bai Yi heard his call and slightly lifted her head.

Feeling Bai Yi's gaze on him, Yan Huan quickly lowered his head again to look directly at Bai Yi.

She seemed to want to appear more confident and calm, not wanting to show any weakness in front of Yan Huan...

But a girl meeting the one she likes should naturally be shy.

The lifting and dropping finger, that neither close nor distant gaze, that trembling voice, all testified to this fact,

"Mm..."

Thus, she just bit her lip, averted her gaze, and softly responded with a shy voice.

So bashful, combined with her stunningly beautiful face, was like an ultimate move, leaving Yan Huan momentarily stunned.

But at this moment, his mind was still preoccupied with what Meow-chan might have seen, and he could only anxiously command in his heart,

"Just tell me what you saw, Bai Yi is still right in front of me, I can't give anything away!"

He intended to replicate the dual operations akin to what he'd done before in Ying Country.

With multiple attempts under his belt, he was quite skilled at it...

Except this time, his wondrous companion Meow-chan surprisingly made a mistake,

"But I... I can't see clearly, meow! Without your glasses, I can only tell that it's Sakuragi Hitomi over there, but I can't see what she's actually doing, meow!"

Hearing this, Yan Huan's face turned dark instantly.

Indeed, he had forgotten about this.

From this distance, with average human eyesight, one could probably only vaguely recognize the person opposite as Sakuragi Hitomi, given her strikingly distinctive gradient hair.

To gather more information, Yan Huan, wearing his glasses, would have to look himself.

But aren't you a deity, Meow-chan?

Why is your vision shared with a cat's?!

"..."

Darn it, I'll just have to handle this myself!

First, find a random topic to stabilize Bai Yi...

"Bai Yi, I have something I want to tell you..."

Here it comes!

"Uh..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi immediately covered her chest and nervously bowed her head a little.

Seeing her avert her gaze, Yan Huan seized the opportunity to look towards the opposite side.

With his glasses on, Yan Huan's vision enhanced to the limit, he immediately saw the situation over there clearly.

As Meow-chan had said, there indeed was something happening.

He saw that after changing outfits, Sakuragi Hitomi did not immediately start practicing archery but instead pulled out a...

A samurai sword?

"??"

Watching as Sakuragi Hitomi skillfully held the sword with both hands and swung it a few times, Yan Huan couldn't help but frown.

But it wasn't over. Apparently, after testing a few swings to see if it felt comfortable, she put down the sword and took out a short dagger...
