Shut Up, Young Lady, Obediently Hand Over The Money And Don't Confess!-Chapter 409 : Showering With A Beautiful Girl

"Felyn..." Zervanie's voice came softly from behind the shower curtain.
Zervanie's fair, smooth hand, still dripping with water, reached out, making the steamy room feel even more ambiguous.
"Help me get that thing on the cabinet... can you?"
Felyn looked at the item on the cabinet, reached out his hand, and found he couldn't reach it at all.
"Zervanie, I need to move outwards a bit, otherwise I can't get it."
A shy, low cry came from the other side of the curtain, and Felyn could even feel the panic behind it.
A few seconds later, Felyn heard a very soft "en."
"Then... I'm starting to move?"
"Okay..." the girl's voice began to tremble, "Felyn, you... you move slowly..."
Felyn moved towards the cabinet, and from behind him came the faint sound of Zervanie stepping out from behind the shower curtain.
"Pat."
The girl's bare foot stepped on the floor, making a pleasant sound.
Her figure was faintly reflected on the steamy wall.
"Is it this one?"
"A little more to the left." Zervanie's voice was very close, her body within arm's reach behind him.
"This one?"
"Mhm."
Felyn's fingertips accidentally brushed against the package, pushing it further in instead.
"Zervanie, take another step forward."
"Okay..."
Zervanie, barefoot, carefully took a step forward, but the water-slicked floor made her slip...
"Ah!!"
Felyn felt a sharp tug on the handcuff. He quickly turned and reached out to support her.
In that instant, his palm felt the touch of warm skin.
The girl's body, fresh from the shower, was warm and very soft.
Zervanie's body was sinking, and Felyn had to bend over and use his strength to hold her up.
"Bang!"
Both of their bodies bent forward, and their foreheads collided hard.
"Hiss—"
"Wuwuwu...."
So painful!
Zervanie clutched her reddened forehead, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
Felyn also rubbed his own head, the chain of the handcuffs rattling with their movements.
The two were very close at this moment. Zervanie's wet long hair was draped over Felyn's shoulder, soaking his clothes.
Her knee was pressed against Felyn's thigh, and the water slowly spread across Felyn's pants.
"Zervanie, are you okay?"
When Felyn slowly opened his eyes, he found Zervanie clutching her head, her sky-blue eyes moist, tears pooling at the corners.
"It hurts... Felyn..."
She whimpered a few times, revealing her vulnerability.
At such a close distance, Felyn could see himself reflected in Zervanie's eyes.
"Felyn... don't stare at me..." Zervanie's gaze shifted to the side, her eyes as moist as gems just pulled from water.
"Sorry." Felyn apologized honestly, closing his eyes as he helped Zervanie stand up.
"But Zervanie, why do you always fall down?"
Felyn only opened his eyes after Zervanie had stepped back behind the curtain.
"Do I? I'm clearly very agile."
"No, no, no." Felyn waved his hand, "After the contract ended, it feels like you're always falling down whenever we meet."
"It's not as exaggerated as you say!" Zervanie's head poked out from behind the curtain, her cheeks puffed out, making one want to poke them.
"I remember you fell twice on the day of the sigil competition."
"That's because..."
Hearing silence from behind the curtain, Felyn realized he had said the wrong thing.
That memory wasn't a good one for either of them.
At that time, Zervanie was incredibly willful, questioning Felyn that if he didn't like her, why did he put in so much effort.
"Zervanie, of course, falling down can also have a nice name like 'clumsy beauty,' it's also considered..."
"Felyn."
Zervanie's voice came through. She held the curtain tightly with one hand, and the only sound in the room was water dripping onto the floor. "I'm sorry... for what I said to you back then, I'm really sorry."
The water droplets on Zervanie's fingertips gathered and dripped onto the floor.
These past few months had not been easy for Zervanie.
During the day, she had to wear a mask with a smile, and only late at night in her empty bedroom could she reveal her longing and regret for Felyn.
Change takes time.
It took a long time for Zervanie to go from being willful to realizing what she had done.
And during this time, the world did not stand still waiting for her. During this time, Zervanie could feel Felyn moving further and further away from her, gradually becoming invisible.
By the time she came to her senses, the boy's back was so far away it was just a dot.
This was a very painful thing.
Fortunately, Zervanie grasped that last dot, staying by Felyn's side as a friend, silently taking care of him.
Just as he had silently taken care of her before.
"I was really terrible before, I... I'm not actually that kind of person."
Zervanie had slowly lost herself in Felyn's indulgence, thoroughly enjoying the happiness that came with being willful.
Felyn leaned against the wall, gently fiddling with the handcuffs.
Silver-white hair appeared first from behind the shower curtain, followed by those slightly reddened, sky-blue eyes.
Zervanie peeked out again, her eyes showing from outside the curtain.
"I can't change the past. But... but..."
But the future can be changed.
In the future, she could be with Felyn, she could do so many things for Felyn.
But the premise was that she had to be in Felyn's life in the future.
Zervanie lowered her head, not daring to look at Felyn's expression.
The bathroom light became hazy through the steam, and she felt her heartbeat was so loud it almost drowned out the sound of the shower.
She wasn't trying to get a promise tonight, nor was she asking Felyn to respond to her feelings immediately.
She just wanted... wanted to confirm if, in the days to come, Felyn would be willing to let a girl who liked him continue to stay in his world.
Just then, a gentle touch came from the top of Zervanie's head.
"Uu..."
She couldn't help but close her eyes, a whimper escaping her throat.
A thin shower curtain separated the two of them. Felyn suddenly felt that life was truly strange.
He had never thought that after the contract ended, he would have any connection with Zervanie.
She was a shining star on the stage, and he was just a passerby in Seiva.
But he didn't know when this star had quietly deviated from its orbit, stubbornly illuminating his ordinary life.
By the time he came back to his senses, the color sky-blue had quietly integrated into his world.
Felyn's fingertips ran through Zervanie's hair as he said softly, "Then in the future, can you save me a ticket to your concert?"
Zervanie's eyes shot open, her body frozen in place.
The handcuffs made a rustling sound. Her fingertips slowly clutched Felyn's sleeve, clutching the future that belonged to both of them.
"Mhm!"
As she nodded vigorously, the water droplets flung from the ends of her hair splashed onto Felyn's clothes, spreading into a dark patch.
