As he spoke, his hands rested gently against her waist, shielding her with care. The soft sensation beneath his fingertips filled his heart with warmth and a deep sense of cherish.
"Hehe~ You like it this way too, don't you, Hubby?"
March 7th laughed, nuzzling against Su Mu's chest. Her cheeks were dusted with a faint crimson, and a light rosy glow spread across her skin, making her look as sweet and adorable as a ripe apple.
She tilted her head back slightly, her lips grazing Su Mu's jawline as she spoke in a playful, flirtatious tone. "Besides, being in a place like this... doesn't it feel extra fresh and exciting?"
Perhaps because it was their first time relaxing like this, March 7th's voice was soft and airy, as if she were afraid someone in the distance might overhear.
Her cautious, shy demeanor clearly made Su Mu's heart skip a beat. The warmth in his chest intensified, filled with nothing but doting affection for her. He found himself unable to look away.
The two shared quiet laughter and playful banter in the water. Su Mu gently held her hand, accompanying her as they felt the refreshing chill of the stream. Listening to her crisp, bell-like laughter, his eyes were filled with tenderness.
March 7th clung tightly to Su Mu's neck, her body shivering slightly from the cool water. With flushed cheeks and eyes full of bashful joy, she soaked in his gentleness. A wave of happiness surged through her heart like a rising tide.
After playing for a while, Su Mu took March 7th's hand, and they began a leisurely stroll along the riverbank, intending to explore more of this unfamiliar landscape.
Along the way, Su Mu spotted a small cave hidden behind a thicket of lush grass. It was so well-concealed that one would easily miss it without a close look.
His eyes brightened. Tugging lightly on March 7th's hand, he whispered, "Look, there's a cave over there. Let's go see what it looks like inside."
With that, he led her into the small cavern to investigate.
Though the interior was dim and somewhat damp, the air was filled with a faint, refreshing fragrance of grass and earth that made up for it, lifting their spirits.
As they ventured deeper into the cave, they discovered a hidden world of its own. The inner walls shimmered with a pale pink luster, looking extraordinarily beautiful. Crystalline droplets of water fell from the ceiling, hitting the ground with a rhythmic, crisp drip-drop.
In the center of the cave lay a small pool. The water was as clear as a mirror, reflecting the droplets from the ceiling and the surrounding scenery. It was as beautiful as a fabled Xanadu.
"How lovely..." Su Mu spoke softly. "It's like a hidden paradise. It's so wonderful here, I'm tempted to stay forever."
"Is that so...?" March 7th tugged gently on Su Mu's sleeve, her voice soft and sweet with a hint of bashful charm. "It really is pretty here. It's even better having you with me, Hubby."
Just then, Himeko's voice drifted in, carrying a hint of playful teasing. "Dear, don't forget about me~ You two are hogging this beautiful scenery all to yourselves and leaving me behind."
The two turned to see Himeko approaching. She had already cleaned the mud from her skirt and placed it in the dryer back at the apartment.
Dressed in her light undergarments, she walked slowly toward them. her graceful figure and porcelain skin glowed faintly under the sunlight filtering through the cave entrance. Her eyes held a touch of lazy elegance and a mischievous glint.
"Of course I haven't forgotten you." Su Mu smiled and reached out a hand to Himeko, his voice tender and doting. "Come here."
Himeko nodded with a smile, quickly stepping to Su Mu's side and taking his hand, leaning her head gently against his shoulder.
And so, Su Mu held both their hands, accompanying them as they admired the cave's beauty. He spoke to them softly, showering the two girls at his side with undivided affection and care.
Inside the cave, the girls' crisp laughter, their gentle whispers, and the sound of dripping water intertwined, creating a warm and moving melody.
During their time there, March 7th and Himeko's gazes happened to meet. They shared a look of silent understanding and a spark of unspoken joy.
March 7th leaned close to Su Mu's ear, her voice tiny yet clear, carrying a hint of playful sweetness. "Speaking of which, Hubby~ Back in the apartment... aren't the Yuigahama mother and daughter, along with Anna, the only ones who haven't come out to see this yet?"
Su Mu nodded slowly. He could clearly sense the thoughts in March 7th and Himeko's hearts. His voice carried a trace of helplessness, yet was filled with indulgence. "With you all here... there's no rush. Let nature take its course..."
"If there's a chance... we should call them to join us. The more, the merrier, right?"
Himeko also leaned close to Su Mu's ear, her tone teasing and her eyes shimmering with mischief.
"Yeah... if we call them, I'm sure you'd love for everyone to be happy together, Hubby~" March 7th added with a nod, her voice full of anticipation. "And... Misaki-san, Yui, and Anna are all so gentle. I'm sure we'll all get along wonderfully."
"...Do as you wish," Su Mu said, shaking his head with a resigned but indulgent smile.
Or rather, he had been infected by the joy of the two girls beside him. His heart was full of warmth, and he naturally couldn't refuse their suggestion.
Besides, he had to admit that March 7th and Himeko were right. Admiring such beautiful scenery was indeed better and more joyful with more people.
Yuigahama Misaki was gentle and virtuous, a mature woman with a refined and tender aura.
Yuigahama Yui was obedient and cute, pure and kind-hearted, carrying the innocent charm of a young girl.
And Anna was quiet and reserved, sensitive and fragile, making one feel a natural urge to protect her.
Having three such distinct girls join the group would certainly be a pleasant experience.
More importantly, the current environment was serene and quiet, and being accompanied by those he cared for made this sense of stability and joy even more precious. He found himself treasuring the present moment more and more.
Su Mu thought to himself that having such a group of gentle souls by his side was truly a stroke of immense luck. This unique bond brought him nothing but warmth and happiness.
Having received Su Mu's tacit approval, Fu Hua and Hu Tao, who were currently in the apartment, immediately sprang into action.
The two shared a knowing smile. They turned and headed toward the rooms of the Yuigahama family and Anna respectively, intending to invite them to see the beautiful cave.
Fu Hua was dressed in a pristine white outfit. Her posture was straight and dignified, her features carrying a hint of cold seriousness. A faint, immortal aura lingered around her, giving her a refined yet distant air.
She stopped at the door to the Yuigahama mother and daughter's room and knocked gently. "Misaki-san, Yui-san," she said in a steady voice. "There is something I would like to speak with you about."
