Chapter 319 Mexican Stalemate
🕑 Added 2025-05-01 15:43:17 +0000 UTCThere is a professional term in the movie called "Mexican deadlock".
What this means is that there are multiple people in the scene - usually three people, but there are more cases - pointing guns at each other's heads because of their different interests.
In this case, if any one of them fires a gun, it will trigger a chain reaction and cause everyone present to die.
But no one dared to put down the gun, because that would be tantamount to handing over their life to others and becoming the first unlucky person to die.
This stalemate where it is not right to shoot, nor is it right not to shoot, but one cannot put down the gun is called the Mexican deadlock.
And now, Nanaya felt that he was stuck in a [Mexican deadlock].
Although no one present had a gun at this moment, this suspenseful situation presented a strange balance.
Ryan, Shion, Rin and Ori just stood there staring at each other.
They didn't want to just retreat and leave, because that would make them feel like they had lost.
But they don't want to be the first to speak, because if they do, they will be the first to be attacked.
[You guys hurry up and decide what to do. I still need to sleep. ]
Nanaya, who was already feeling sleepy, wanted to yawn, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the others turned their eyes to him.
"…You guys continue."
Nanaya silently took a step back and just sat on the bed watching the performances of others.
"Really? It's so late. You guys should at least pay attention."
The first person to speak was Ori, he didn't want to drag it on any longer.
You know, he just came here to complain because he couldn't sleep due to the noise.
[I really envy this guy, he doesn't catch a cold and his sleep quality is so high. ]
“It’s really stupid to just stand here.”
Ori said with a look of contempt: "Senior, it's fine if you want to play with the big quilt, but I hope you can pay attention to the volume and play slowly in the room."
"Big quilt... um..."
Ryan's cheeks suddenly felt hot and she stammered, not knowing what to say.
In fact, Ryan wasn't supposed to be here tonight.
But she came anyway.
Probably because he drank at the party and ate the brandy cantaloupe made by Lily, Ryan's alcohol intake today was a little bit above the limit.
Although she was far from having sex after drinking, as the saying goes, alcohol makes a man bold, Ryan did some things that she would not normally do.
For example, smashing a man's door late at night.
Ryan definitely couldn't do something like a night attack, and Ryan had no intention of doing such a thing.
Ryan was not a virgin before marriage, she just felt that she and Nanaya were far from reaching that point.
Ryan came to see Nanaya just to remind him as a friend. She always thought that Nanaya was too indulgent to the girls around him.
As a friend, Ryan felt it was his obligation to remind Nanaya to correct his attitude.
But now it seems that she was just being overly sentimental?
"I'm sorry, Kiryu. I never thought you two were in this kind of relationship. I'm meddling."
Ryan's face turned as red as an apple when she said this. If it weren't for her pajamas blocking it, Nanaya estimated that her face would be buried in her chest.
"Ryan..."
"It's okay. I won't discriminate against you. Who among you who are into art doesn't have some special hobbies?"
Ryan forced a smile, "It's no problem, I've seen even more perverted directors."
Nanaya knew that Ryan was talking about those psychotic art directors in Europe.
But he always felt that he was put on the same level as them, which in itself was a loss.
"So it's okay, your hobby won't affect our friendship. I won't have any prejudice against your hobby. That's it, good night."
Ryan waved at Nanaya. Without giving Nanaya a chance to explain, she returned to her room as quickly as possible and closed the door.
"It's gone, it's gone."
Ori scratched his head and reminded Nanaya who was still dumbfounded: "Don't look at it. They have all gone back to their rooms. Let's talk about it tomorrow when we get up."
"It's because you talk nonsense." Nanaya said, covering his face.
"Oh, didn't you sleep with your female boss and your idol?"
"No, I just came to admire him and Rin sleeping together. Oh, by the way, the soundproofing of my room is not very good, so it's better if you don't make too much noise."
"Huh?!" Nanaya opened his eyes wide.
Shion just laughed, patted Nanaya's cheek and went back to her room.
"Well, Senior. Your quirk is really peculiar."
Ori carefully expressed his thoughts, but was met with an indignant look from Nanaya.
"I'm going back to bed. Senior, don't play with Rin too late."
At this moment, the originally bustling entrance to Nanaya’s room was suddenly empty.
The only people left were Rin and Nanaya, who were sitting on the bed.
"What? Everyone is like this. This is not the way you look down on me!"
Rin felt very angry. No one looked at her straight in the eye. Doesn't this mean that she is not important at all? !
"I'm so mad! I'm so mad!"
Rin complained as she stormed back to her room.
"So, what's the point of doing this so late at night?"
Nanaya, who was already overwhelmed by sleepiness, could not hold on any longer. He closed the door and went to sleep.
Although it was the last night of 2005 and the first night of 2006, the seven nights passed in a daze.
But it’s not over for the other girls.
"Sister, you're back? What did Director Nanaya say?"
Lily hadn't slept yet. She was sitting on the bed, reading a book while waiting for the outcome of her sister's night raid.
Seeing Ryan return to the room with a red face, she immediately asked excitedly.
“Hmm…”
Ryan leaned against the door, covering her face with her hands, not knowing what she was thinking.
The elder sister's reaction obviously exceeded Lily's expectations. She hurriedly asked anxiously, "Sister? What's wrong with you? Did Director Nanaya scare you by sleeping naked?"
Ryan shook his head slowly.
"Hmm...what happened~"
Lily was very angry about Ryan's silence. She really wanted to grab him and ask him clearly.
"Hey, Lily."
Ryan asked with blushing cheeks: "Do you think there can be pure friendship between a woman and a man who likes to mess around with women?"
"Clam?"
Lily guessed that her sister must have seen something extraordinary.
···
"I'm so mad! I'm so mad!"
Rin closed the door with a bang, but when she turned around, she saw Sakura standing there with her arms folded, looking at her.
"Are you back? Are you feeling better?"
Obviously, Sakura was not sleeping like a dead pig as Rin described. She was waiting for Rin, her cheap sister, to come back to the room.
"It wasn't comfortable at all! I didn't do it at all!"
Rin was still angry, and she lay down on the bed in a bad mood.
"I'm so pissed! Do you have to look down on me like that? I may be an idol, but I don't have to be like that!"
Rin covered her head with a pillow.
"It seems that you have been despised? Is it that noble lady or our boss?"
“…both.”
Rin replied depressedly.
"I guess so."
Sakura nodded, she wasn't surprised that Rin would encounter this situation.
"I told you a long time ago that you alone can't keep an eye on Nanaya."
Sakura sat down next to Lin. She looked down at Rin and said, "Are you interested in the previous proposal now?"
“…”
Rin stared at Sakura intently, but finally nodded reluctantly.
Sakura held out her hand: "Then let's work together."
Rin just touched Sakura for a moment before pulling back.
Sakura didn't care at all. She returned to her bed with a smile.
"Hey, Sakura."
Just when Sakura was getting ready to go to bed, Rin suddenly spoke softly.
"What's wrong? Do you regret it?"
“Is the soundproofing of this villa very poor?”
"Not bad, you guys were performing so brilliantly in the corridor, I didn't hear a thing, otherwise I would have come out to watch the show."
Sakura was curious as to why Rin asked that.
"That's weird. Why did she know what we talked about? And why did that guy say we disturbed him?"
With deep confusion, Rin fell asleep.
···
When Nanaya got up the next morning, everything seemed to be back to normal.
Everyone seemed to be pretending that what happened last night never happened and didn't say a word about it.
However, there are some changes.
For example, the way the Wettin sisters looked at Nanaya was full of questioning.
But every time Nanaya wanted to explain, these two blonde beauties would avoid him.
"Don't worry, just be yourself, I won't discriminate against you."
The person who said this was Ryan, and she seemed to have already confirmed Nanaya's strange habit.
"I didn't expect Director Nanaya to be such a playboy. But Lily knows that people in the entertainment industry are like this. As long as you stay devoted to me after marriage, I will forgive you."
[So Lily really wants to marry your sister off! ]
Of course, the most tragic thing for Nanaya is probably having to face Rin’s wrath.
In short, the ending is that Rin took the initiative to take care of Nanaya's breakfast.
But what Rin made was not a loving breakfast at all. What Nanaya got was an "Rin loving breakfast" with ice cream as the main dish, made by Rin with a gloomy face the whole time.
If it were summer, Nanaya would definitely not refuse such a breakfast.
If it was at night, in a warm air-conditioned room, Nanaya wouldn't refuse an ice cream dessert.
But the problem is that it is now winter morning!
Nanaya believed that his stomach would be frozen into a lump if he ate this kind of thing so early in the morning.
Nanaya looked at others for help, but everyone thought that Nanaya had it all his own fault and ignored him.
Shiki Matsuno also fanned the flames: "Since you have made the beauty angry, you should be prepared to accept her anger."
“Tsk.”
"Do you want me to bring you something hot?"
But Shion asked kindly.
"Please pour me a glass of hot milk, thank you."
Nanaya let out a long sigh and picked up the spoon resignedly.
