Chapter 141: In This World, It’s Just You And Me
The fair skin was right in front of him, so Sakamoto Ken naturally didn’t hesitate.
He squeezed some transparent gel onto his fingertip and gently pressed it onto Hoshihara Ai’s body.
Hoshihara Ai’s body tensed slightly, and she let out a very faint gasp.
Sakamoto Ken’s fingertip, coated with the cool and slippery gel, slowly circled and spread it over her skin.
He could clearly feel that as his finger moved, the muscles in her lower abdomen contracted slightly, her breathing became a bit rapid, but on the surface, she maintained a calm expression.
Sakamoto Ken’s action was quick, and he pasted the electrode in the corresponding position.
“…Done.” Sakamoto Ken withdrew his hand.
Only then did Hoshihara Ai let go of her hem. She also put on the same helmet, leaned against the headboard, picked up a tablet computer, and began rapidly adjusting something on it.
A few minutes later, she put down the tablet and looked at Sakamoto Ken.
“Alright, now go to sleep.”
“Sleep?” Sakamoto Ken was slightly stunned upon hearing this. “We have to do it again?”
Hoshihara Ai burst out laughing with a “pfft.”
She leaned over, pulled Sakamoto Ken’s shoulder, and brought her whole body close.
Their noses were almost touching, and Sakamoto Ken could even see his own reflection in her pupils.
Her gentle breathing carried a hint of sweetness as she asked softly, “What’s wrong, do you still want to?”
It turned out to be actual sleeping, so that’s fine…
“Cough… don’t tease me.” Sakamoto Ken waved his hand and said.
“Then do as I say.” Hoshihara Ai released him, patted the empty spot beside her, “Lie down.”
Sakamoto Ken didn’t ask more and lay down on one side of the bed as instructed by Hoshihara Ai.
This was a single bed, but the two could barely fit, though the space felt a bit cramped.
Their arms were tightly pressed against each other, thighs against thighs.
Sakamoto Ken could clearly feel the warmth from her body and hear her steady breathing.
With such close contact, Sakamoto Ken felt a heat surge gathering inside him again.
Hoshihara Ai glanced over there and tsked lightly, casually tossing the thin quilt over, which just covered them.
“Don’t overthink it.” She teased, “Now it’s really just sleeping, relax.”
“I’m not overthinking.” Sakamoto Ken closed his eyes and said, “It’s just with all this equipment on and sharing a bed with you, how can I fall asleep like this?”
“Why can’t you sleep? I can sleep anytime.”
“That’s your talent. Unless you want to wake up, you won’t even stir…”
“Then just lie there first.” Hoshihara Ai said, “Don’t think about anything, I’ll wait for you to fall asleep first.”
Sakamoto Ken had no choice but to comply.
The laboratory was very quiet, and beside him, Hoshihara Ai’s breathing gradually became even and long.
At first, Sakamoto Ken felt uncomfortable all over and couldn’t fall asleep.
But the physical exertion from the morning was really too much.
That wasn’t in a dream, but in reality—six solid rounds in a row; anyone would have weak legs.
Gradually, he felt his eyelids growing heavier, and his consciousness began to blur…
Before falling asleep, one last thought flashed through his mind.
So the intense activity in the morning was really part of the experiment?
If he weren’t so tired, he might not have been able to fall asleep now…
His consciousness sank completely, and Sakamoto Ken once again fell into that familiar dark chaos.
Then, he heard a whisper by his ear.
“Time to wake up, A Jian.”
Hearing Hoshihara Ai’s voice, Sakamoto Ken opened his eyes.
Now, he was no longer looking at the laboratory ceiling, but Hoshihara Ai’s apartment.
He was lying on the sofa, and Hoshihara Ai’s voice came from the direction in front of him.
His vision cleared, sensations returned, and Sakamoto Ken realized he was pillow on an extremely soft and elastic spot.
It was Hoshihara Ai’s lap.
She was sitting on the sofa, wearing her usual light and cool attire, looking down at him.
From this angle, Sakamoto Ken’s entire view was filled with her bosom.
“You could still sleep in the laboratory.” Hoshihara Ai said with a smile, her finger gently brushing Sakamoto Ken’s cheek.
With his head on her lap, every breath was filled with her unique fragrance, making him feel like a baby waiting to be fed, though she wasn’t actually going to feed him.
Sakamoto Ken turned over, preparing to get up from her lap.
However, as soon as he flipped over…
“Hiss—”
A slightly cool hand suddenly reached over and precisely pinched his ear.
Sakamoto Ken’s movement froze instantly.
“What are you trying to do, you guy?”
Hoshihara Ai leaned down, her warm breath spraying on his ear.
Sakamoto Ken kept his face-down position, not moving a muscle.
He had really just wanted to sit up, but in this position, his face was completely buried in the warm fragrance.
“I just wanted to turn over and get up.” Sakamoto Ken’s voice came out muffled.
“Is that so?” Hoshihara Ai chuckled lightly, released his ear, and said, “Actually, if you want to do something else, it’s not impossible.”
Sakamoto Ken quickly propped himself up on the sofa cushion and sat up, pulling back some distance.
As soon as he sat steady, he saw Hoshihara Ai staring playfully at the corner of his mouth.
“What’s wrong?”
“Don’t move.”
Hoshihara Ai leaned in, extending her finger to gently sweep over the corner of his mouth.
Only then did Sakamoto Ken see a thin, hair-like strand stuck to her fingertip, which she flicked to the ground.
Sakamoto Ken: “…”
Hoshihara Ai stood up and walked casually around the apartment.
Sakamoto Ken also looked around; this was indeed Hoshihara Ai’s apartment, but it was somewhat different.
If he had to pinpoint the difference, it was probably the furniture layout ten years from now?
Sakamoto Ken walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
The cityscape outside the window was still there; nearby buildings were fairly clear, but farther ones started to blur and distort, as if shrouded in thick fog.
“No difference in sensation, but vision is obviously off.” Sakamoto Ken concluded, “This really isn’t reality.”
Hoshihara Ai also walked over and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with him by the window, gazing at the blurry distance.
Sakamoto Ken asked, “What are you experimenting with using that equipment?”
Hoshihara Ai said, “You just stay here with me for an hour, and we’ll check the data after we get out.”
“An hour, huh…”
He was just musing aloud, but to Hoshihara Ai, it carried deeper meaning.
She turned her head, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth: “What’s this, want to try something stimulating?”
Sakamoto Ken’s heart stirred, and he directly raised his arm to wrap around Hoshihara Ai’s slender waist.
It felt warm and smooth to the touch.
However, just as he was about to pull her closer.
Hoshihara Ai’s waist twisted like a water snake, slipping out of his arm.
“Follow me.”
She didn’t look back, heading straight toward the entrance.
Sakamoto Ken was stunned for a moment but had no choice but to follow.
He saw Hoshihara Ai reach the apartment main entrance, grasp the doorknob without hesitation, and turn it gently.
“Click.”
The door lock opened with a sound.
Sakamoto Ken asked in doubt, “What are you opening the door for?”
Hoshihara Ai glanced back at him and said, “To go out, of course.”
“Go out?” Sakamoto Ken said, “We’re not wearing clothes.”
“I know.” Hoshihara Ai looked perfectly matter-of-fact. “But so what? It’s just the two of us here, the whole world.”
“You sure?” Sakamoto Ken was somewhat skeptical.
He peered out through the opened door crack.
The corridor was empty, but that didn’t prove anything; this place wasn’t busy with people passing by anyway.
He recalled the scene from the balcony earlier; the street downstairs had outlines visible but no cars or people.
Hoshihara Ai didn’t mind; she took Sakamoto Ken’s hand and said, “Tell me, isn’t this stimulating?”
“It’s not about whether it’s stimulating…” Sakamoto Ken felt sweat beading on his forehead. “Isn’t this a bit too stimulating?”
Hoshihara Ai didn’t give him a chance to refuse; with a tug, she pulled him straight out of the room.
With a “bang,” the apartment main entrance closed automatically behind them.
Sakamoto Ken: “…”
“Don’t worry.” Hoshihara Ai stretched her body boldly, took Sakamoto Ken’s hand, and led him toward the elevator.
She pressed the elevator down button and said confidently, “It’s a hypothesis, but the probability is 100%. After all, in principle, the foundation of this world’s existence is just the two of us—no other people, not even other thinking creatures.”
“So, this world has only you and me.”
“Ding—”
The elevator door slowly opened, and Hoshihara Ai pulled Sakamoto Ken as they stepped inside.
