Does gravity make me stronger?

"coming!"

When the door opened, Xiangzi, dressed in casual clothes, stood outside, carrying several food containers filled with dishes.

Good afternoon, Hachiman.

"Okay, come in first, there's air conditioning inside."

"Ah."

On his way into the house, Xiangzi suddenly noticed something strange.

"Hachiman, why is your neck so red?"

"what."

Hachiman touched the back of his skin, where he was sunburned, but it shouldn't be too serious: "I didn't do a good job of sun protection this afternoon, so I got a little sunburned."

Is it just a little?

Xiangzi looked at him worriedly: "Have you applied sunburn cream?"

"Not yet, I plan to do it after I finish packing my luggage."

"Damn, good health is the most important thing. What if your skin gets infected and pus forms if you neglect to protect it?"

Faced with this sudden question, Hachiman gave a wry smile: "It's really nothing, I'll apply it now."

"I'll help you."

Setting down the food container, Xiangzi skillfully retrieved the ointment from the drawer: "Hachiman, take off your shirt and lie down on the bed."

"Wait a minute, isn't this a bit too..."

Realizing the consequences of his actions, Xiangzi felt a little embarrassed, but still insisted, "It's just treating the wound, and besides, we're a couple, this little bit of physical contact is...it's okay!"

Chapter 264, page 261: Prisoner Eight: I'm back again!

"but..."

Hachiman was about to pull on it again, but the next second, Xiangzi's tone suddenly turned cold: "Please hurry up!"

How terrifying! Angry Xiangzi is terrifying!

Stared at by those amber eyes, Hachiman felt like a fish on a chopping board, and Shoko was the butcher, ready to dismember him.

"Xiangzi, please go easy on me..."

His pitiful tone was quite comical, and Xiangzi's carefully maintained composure vanished instantly. He covered his burning face and started rambling incoherently, "I know, hurry up!"

Hachiman obediently took off his shirt, lay down on the bed, and felt a strange sensation on the back of his skin as the cold wind blew on him.

but.

This posture where you can't see others is really awful...

He heard a rustling sound from the side and couldn't help but turn around to look. Suddenly, a piece of light green cloth covered his eyes.

The fabric feels smooth and doesn't hurt the skin, but losing sight of it always makes people feel uneasy.

"Wait a minute, why are you covering my eyes!?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, it was just an accident."

Xiangzi looked down and realized that her skirt was actually acting as an eye mask, so she quickly covered it up.

At the same time, he softened his tone, speaking in a high-pitched voice as if talking to a human cub: "Hachiman, be good, don't move around, it'll be over soon."

Unlike a certain master of the "clamping" technique, Xiangzi's "clamping" is more delicate and has a greater contrast.

"First published on 705u.com - Book Club"

Hachiman tensed up, waiting for their first contact.

"Crench."

That's the sound of squeezing out ointment.

For some reason, Hachiman felt that his hearing was particularly sharp at this moment; he could even hear the sound of a needle dropping if he wanted to.

"Tap tap".

"Wipe it off."

The footsteps drew closer, followed by the sound of clothes rubbing together.

Followed by.

After a chilling silence, the cool liquid finally touched my skin.

In that instant, Hachiman felt as if every pore on his body had opened up, and all the waste in his body was expelled through that small contact surface. The resulting exhilaration made his toes involuntarily straighten.

"Well!"

The next moment, he couldn't help but let out some strange noises, and he quickly covered his mouth.

Through his fingers, Hachiman let out an embarrassed lament: "Well, this is beyond our control!"

"Um..."

Suppressing his embarrassment, Xiangzi applied the ointment to Hachiman's back and the back of his neck. The white, viscous liquid slowly dissolved and was absorbed by his body.

This magical process is somewhat addictive.

"Hachiman, be slow, let me spread it evenly."

"Do as you please."

Touched by warm fingertips, my back felt a little itchy, and I really wanted to reach out and scratch it...

Gradually, as Xiangzi applied the medicine just right, Hachiman slowly relaxed, enjoying this tender moment—

"Auntie, hit me!"

"sorry!"

Xiangzi hurriedly leaned back, pulled his hand away, and looked at the slightly reddened skin with lingering fear.

That area looks like it's been damaged quite badly.

"The skin is peeling."

Xiangzi brushed his hand across it with lingering fear; even the slightest touch made Hachiman, who was lying prone, gasp in shock.

"It seems we need to be careful during this period, Hachiman. We can't let our guard down anymore."

"Excuse me."

"It's ok."

After applying the sunburn cream, Xiangzi handed the still slightly warm shirt to Hachiman, who quickly put it on.

"Um, do you still have an appetite?"

"It won't have any impact."

After finishing his meal, Xiangzi said seriously, "Hachiman, I'm sorry, I might have to go to Chiba a day later. There's something I need to take care of at the office."

Hachiman, who was washing dishes, paused and shook his head: "I understand. I'll pick you up after you finish work."

"No need. This job takes me to Chiba. I'll have some free time after tomorrow's work. Let's meet up then!"

"By the way, Goto-kun told me that AveMujica is also going to participate in that Chiba tourism festival, is it?"

“Yes.” Xiangzi nodded. “However, since we were invited, we didn’t need to go through the audition process and could go directly on stage.”

"So that's how it is." Hachiman pondered silently.

There's nothing strange about it. Popular bands like AveMujica naturally have certain privileges, and no one would question why they could go on stage without having to go through auditions.

On the other hand, what if the band doesn't pass the audition? Would that damage their confidence?

He couldn't interfere in musical matters; he could only focus on doing his job well.

As of today, the band has reached around 1,000 fans, successfully breaking through the first bottleneck period.

Next, we need to aim for the goal of 10,000 people and gradually move forward.

The best way to gain traffic is to go to stages with high exposure, and the Chiba Tourism Festival is one such way.

If they stay in the Starlight Concert Hall forever, who knows when they'll become a professional band?

"Then I'll head back to Suze's place first. Hachiman, get some rest tonight."

After cleaning up the dishes, Xiangzi picked up a clean food container and prepared to return to her apartment. Nowadays, she no longer feels embarrassed about staying at someone else's house.

"Okay, goodbye."

Hachiman arrived at the door, waved goodbye to Shoko, and prepared to spend his last night before going home.

...

The next day.

Hachiman quickly headed straight for the Nagasaki family home with his luggage.

Considering he would only be staying in Chiba for seven or eight days, which was also his hometown, he only brought some essential personal items in his bag, and he would just find clothes and other things to change into locally.

To his surprise, when they arrived at the apartment building, Su Shi was carrying a huge suitcase, and in addition, she was holding a very exquisite gift box.

"This is a gift for my parents... and my uncles and aunts."

Seeing Hachiman's amused look, Sose explained straightforwardly.

Wait a minute, Mom and Dad, Su Shi, did you do this on purpose or by accident?

[Su Shi: It was intentional]

Hachiman walked over and casually took the ridiculously large suitcase.

"I understand, thank you, they'll definitely like it."

"Huh, how did Hachiman know?"

"Well, if it's a gift from you, they can't possibly dislike it."

"Is that right?"

Hachiman weighed the box in his hand and then realized that it was frighteningly heavy. Could it be that Suze brought a lot of useless stuff?

"Why is it so heavy? Could this be some new form of bullying?"

Knowing that someone would come to help carry his bag, he deliberately stuffed a bunch of random things into it?

Upon hearing this, Su Shi frowned slightly and asked in surprise, "Hachiman, what exactly happened to you during your middle school years?"

I thought that Hachiman had only suffered emotional trauma during his three years of junior high school, but I never expected that he would also be criticized by his classmates.

"It's nothing, I just isolated the whole class." Hachiman snorted and said nonchalantly, "Speaking of which, I'm a little curious about what's inside."

Despite still feeling somewhat unwilling, Su Shi forced herself to temporarily put aside her resentment: "Hachiman, would you like to guess what's inside?"

"Your clothes?"

"You guessed half right." Su Shi's eyes flickered, then she said with a troubled expression, "Of course there are clothes in the suitcase, right? Can't you be a little more serious?"

Que's.

He rested his chin on his hand and continued to think, but in the end he still couldn't come up with a suitable answer.

Su Shi replied with satisfaction, "There are also Xiangzi's clothes, but that child is very shy and there are some clothes she is embarrassed to wear, so I brought them for her in advance!"

"I see."

Hachiman responded, while simultaneously pondering what clothes Xiangzi wouldn't dare wear.

[QQ outfit?]

Is Xiangzi going to cosplay as a penguin?

What kind of protagonist are you?

Okay, Hachiman did understand, but she didn't believe that the two girls would buy such outrageous things; they were probably just some revealing clothes.

"Let's go, it's too hot now, we'll get heatstroke if we stay outside for too long."

Hachiman mentioned it briefly, then took Su Shichao to the train station and set off.
