Volume 1 Chapter 21: Lock Her in a Dark Little Room!
This shyness and hesitation could not be noticed by Shen Jingyi. Otherwise, wouldn’t her image as the villainess young lady completely fall apart? Anyway, seeing the usually cold and proud Miss Shen acting so awkward just now, she probably could not bring herself to hug her either. Since that was the case, Kaguya decided to take the first move and throw all the embarrassment onto Shen Jingyi instead.
As expected, Kaguya’s teasing made Shen Jingyi’s heart tremble a little. She pulled back her hand, kept the hugging position, but carefully left some space between them, only pretending to hold Kaguya.
“If you don’t hold tight, you’ll really fall down, Teacher Shen.”
Looking at the trembling girl in her arms, Kaguya kindly reminded her.
Shen Jingyi: “......”
The blush on her face became even deeper, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted.
“It’s fine...”
“Mhm, alright then~”
Kaguya said no more. A faint black light began to spread from her body. Then, together with the girl’s soft laugh, she suddenly sped up like an arrow leaving the bow, shooting straight into the endless sky.
The always calm Shen Jingyi was startled by Kaguya’s sudden burst of speed. Loud wind roared beside her ears, the white clouds in the distance quickly moved backward into blurry shadows, and she could barely keep her eyes open.
Ever since becoming a magical girl, she had flown countless times. Although she had been extremely nervous the first time she flew, she had long since gotten used to it.
But she had never known that, when she had no magic power and was only an ordinary girl, being carried through the sky by someone else could feel this frightening... She had never even noticed that magical girls could fly this fast!
Other than Kaguya’s thin and delicate arms, there was no safety protection at all. It felt as if one small mistake would send her falling straight from the sky.
Shen Jingyi did not dare look downward, nor did she have time to speak. Forgetting the little pride she had just felt, she tightly wrapped both arms around Kaguya’s neck. Her chest pressed against Kaguya’s chest, and because of the sudden speed, even her cheek was pressed against her.
Especially considering their height difference, Shen Jingyi looked like a large koala, clinging tightly to Kaguya.
Her cheek was pressed against the girl’s slightly flat chest, while a strange sweet scent unique to the girl lingered around her nose. Shen Jingyi could almost hear her own uneven and nervous heartbeat... Even in the roaring wind, it sounded so clear.
And where Shen Jingyi could not see, the blush on Kaguya’s fair and lovely face was just as obvious.
Especially now, with Shen Jingyi’s soft body pressed directly against her, the warmth and softness from her chest, along with the full thighs wrapped around her hands, caused waves to rise in Kaguya’s heart.
Although it was not very polite to judge others like this... Miss Shen’s figure was not especially eye-catching, but the unique curves and warmth of a young girl, along with her nearly perfect body proportions, still unconsciously drew Kaguya’s attention.
It was only because Shen Jingyi always kept a polite distance from others, together with her cold and elegant features, that few people ever noticed this side of her.
Ahem, calm down, calm down, Bai Muxue. You are a mentally mature person. You should not let a young girl disturb your mind!
Kaguya lowered her eyes slightly and kept giving herself reminders in her heart.
If Shen Jingyi’s heart was in chaos right now... then Kaguya’s heart was no different.
She pressed her lips together and tried to use the same trick again.
“Oh~ I didn’t expect Teacher Shen to be so passionate. What a surprise~”
But this time, she no longer had the calm confidence from before. Her voice shook a little.
Hmph! I’m not nervous at all! But physical contact alone is not enough. If I don’t tease her with a few words, how can I build up her negative emotions?
Shen Jingyi wanted to argue back, but the girl was flying through the sky at high speed. From time to time, she even made sharp turns and drifting moves. With Shen Jingyi’s eyes tightly shut and even her eyelashes trembling, how could she notice Kaguya’s strange behavior?
The girl only felt her heartbeat getting faster and faster as she held tightly onto Kaguya’s small body, as if it were the last thing that could save her.
“Ow! That hurts, hurts, hurts!” Kaguya grimaced. “Hey, even if Teacher Shen is unhappy with me, there’s no need to pinch me directly, right?”
Huh?
Shen Jingyi froze for a moment. Only then did she realize that because she was holding too hard, all ten of her fingers had sunk into the girl’s skin... In this position, there was no romantic feeling left at all. She had directly started pinching her.
She quickly loosened her grip a little, guilt appearing on her pretty face.
“Sorry... I didn’t mean to.”
“What? I didn’t hear you, can you say it again.”
This time, Kaguya was not teasing her on purpose. They were moving too fast, and the wind was too loud. She really had not heard it.
But Shen Jingyi thought that the sly girl was using the same trick again. She gritted her teeth, then raised her voice and shouted,
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to!”
When Kaguya heard this, she gave a playful smile and softly teased her.
“What’s wrong, Teacher Shen? At this level, you’re already saying you can’t handle it? I haven’t even sped up yet!”
Hearing the cheerful tone in the girl’s voice, Shen Jingyi was slightly stunned.
She wasn’t hurt? She was pretending?
But before she could speak, Kaguya laughed excitedly.
“Haha, Teacher Shen, hold tight, I’m speeding up now!”
At this moment, Kaguya was truly excited. Unlike Shen Jingyi’s fear, Kaguya felt thrilled by freely soaring through the sky, watching white clouds rush past around her, and seeing the scenery below change rapidly. It made the blood that had been quiet for many years slowly begin to boil again.
She also wanted to know just how fast she could really go.
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jingyi felt the wind by her ears suddenly grow much louder. For a moment, all she could hear was the roaring wind.
The girl tightly shut her eyes.
Filled with deep nervousness, she hugged Kaguya even tighter. She did not know how much time passed. Only when Kaguya seemed to slow down a little did she dare slowly open her eyes.
By now, they had arrived outside Wangdu City. On both sides of the road were rolling green mountains, glowing with rich green color in the light of the setting sun. The air also carried the smell of plants and soil.
Without transforming, Shen Jingyi was no different from an ordinary girl. After being hit by the strong wind just now, her body, which had been a little sweaty, now felt a trace of coldness. Combined with the frightening experience from before, she unconsciously clung to Kaguya and refused to let go.
Kaguya let her hold on. Although she had also been nervous at first, after flying for a while, she slowly got used to this speed... It felt no different from driving a car.
She even remembered her role as the villainess young lady. Looking at the slightly trembling Shen Jingyi, the corner of her lips rose.
“Teacher Shen, don’t you want to ask where I’m taking you?”
“Mhm~ Aren’t you afraid I’ll lock you in a little dark room and do all kinds of things to you~”
