“I did.”
As I once again answered with full honesty, Hifumi’s expression twisted in clear embarrassment. She put on her glasses, puffed her cheeks adorably, and stepped closer.
“You’re supposed to lie there, you idiot!” The girl huffed and tiptoed to cover my face with her small hand. It’s her way to keep me from seeing her embarrassed.
Good thing she let go of the book she was holding first or I would’ve been smacked by it.
I loved that reaction from her though. I wouldn’t mind being hit by a book if I could see it one more time.
Reflexively, my arms moved at the same time as she did. They circled to her back just in case she tripped. But by doing so this made it look like I was welcoming her in my embrace and that brought her more shame than she was expecting.
The girl stumbled forward. Although she quickly put her hand in front of her, it’s not enough to prevent her from bumping into me. A moment later, her forehead hit my chest and she let out a barely audible groan.
