I have pure love with them

For the band, the presence of Le Nai is an unstable factor, but during the last live, she fulfilled her responsibility of playing rhythm guitar, which made everyone have some trust and expectations for her...

After the band's activities ended, it was dark and the city was shrouded in darkness. The signal tower was flashing with lights, but Nagasaki Soyo was not in a hurry to return home.

[You haven't gone home yet?]

After sending a message to Chihayazumi, Nagasaki Soyo, with a school bag on his shoulder, looked at his Line.

Just a moment later, the phone rang.

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

"The apartment from yesterday?"

"Ah."

"I am coming over now."

Izumi, who was standing at the table and picking out pieces of a puzzle, was not surprised when she heard what Nagasaki Soyo said.

"Come on, I'll be waiting for you at the apartment."

Then Quan hung up the phone.

Nagasaki Soyo, who was standing not far from 'RiNG', bit his lip, looked back, and when he didn't see any familiar figures, he walked towards the subway station with peace of mind.

When Izumi opened the door to the apartment and looked at Nagasaki Soyo, who was holding the shoulder straps with both hands, standing in front of him, he glanced at her.

Noticing Quan's gaze, Nagasaki Shoyo couldn't help but frown.

"Excuse me, come in."

Although there were many girls around him, Goto Ichiri always liked to wear loose clothes and hunch over, so it was not noticeable at all. As for her younger sister, Aine was at the normal level and not attractive enough to attract anyone's attention.

Nagasaki Soyo, who stood straight with his body, holding the shoulder straps with both hands, was quite eye-catching. For a moment, Quan didn't notice him and his eyes subconsciously glanced in an impolite direction.

But he still reacted and took the initiative to apologize to Nagasaki Soyo.

Nagasaki Soushi pursed his lips, hesitated in front of the door, nodded slightly, walked past Quan, and entered the house...

227. Shuangshi: Can I be your sister too?

[I'm out with my friends, so you don't have to wait for me for dinner]

In the living room, Aiyin was sitting on the sofa, holding her phone in both hands. She looked at the message sent by Quan and couldn't help pouting. An expression of dissatisfaction appeared on her face. She raised her head and looked at her mother who was busy. She bit her lip and made a dissatisfied "tsk" sound.

[Your friend, isn't he a girl?]

However, after sending the message, she did not receive a reply from her brother for a long time, which made Aiyin increasingly dissatisfied.

"Aine, dinner is ready. Is Izumi back?"

Hearing her mother's question, Aiyin, who was lying on the sofa, slowly sat up and walked towards the dining table.

"No, he's out with his friends."

Looking at her daughter with a dissatisfied face, Mrs. Chihaya did not feel any worry in her heart after hearing the news that Izumi would not be coming back for the time being. However, seeing Aine's dissatisfied expression made her a little worried.

"Izumi has grown up and has his own life. Besides, hasn't he always been very sensible? When it's night, he will still come back. But sooner or later, there will be a day when he will live alone. Aine should learn from Izumi. She is no longer a child."

Aiyin sat down at the dining table, listening to her mother's words, and inexplicably had the urge to cover her ears, but she knew that it would be very rude to do so, so she resisted the urge and responded casually.

"I see."

The muffled voice didn't sound like he knew.

Mrs. Chihaya looked at her daughter and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

……

"I am planning to leave some traces on you. If others see them accidentally, it will be convincing. However, if irrelevant people see them, then the original falsehood will become the 'truth' and you will be slandered."

Izumi, who was twisting a puzzle piece in his hand, raised his head slightly and looked at Nagasaki Shoyo who was sitting on the sofa.

"Leave a trace?"

"It looks like it was tied up with ropes, or it could be a sign of being beaten. In any case, it's on the arm, or the back of the neck—"

She tapped the back of his neck lightly with her index finger, and with a smile on her face, she looked at Nagasaki Soushi who was sitting on the sofa.

"Don't similar scenes often appear in TV dramas about families and cities? As long as some specific people see it, and Ms. Toyokawa asks these people afterwards and confirms that you have been abused, our plan will be half successful."

Nagasaki Souyo was sitting on the sofa, the light in his eyes flickering for a moment.

Judging from the "plan" that Quan mentioned, it seems to be quite feasible, but once this plan is implemented, the price she will have to pay will be too high. Once it is noticed by other people in the school, she will definitely be suspected of having suffered some injustice.

The worst possible scenario she could imagine was that the teachers at school would find out and contact her mother.

"Is there no other way?"

Thinking of the huge sacrifice she had to make, Nagasaki Shoyo found it a little hard to accept. If this plan failed, Toyokawa Shoko might never talk to her again, and the rest of her high school career would become very bad.

"It's not that there isn't, it's just..."

"only?"

Nagasaki Shoyo looked at Izumi and always felt that the suggestions given by Izumi were more like Izumi's bad taste.

"There may be some intimate, even rough contact between us. Can you accept that?"

"What do you mean? Can you explain it more clearly?"

It was already late and it was dark outside. Nagasaki Shoyo, who stayed here, was not in the mood to guess what Izumi was thinking. He frowned and asked Izumi what he was going to do.

"You asked out the band member who was close to Ms. Toyokawa, and I appeared in front of you as an 'accidental encounter' after you met. Then, when you looked disgusted but couldn't refuse, I made some suggestive gestures to you, so as to make the other person suspicious."

If the first suggestion would sacrifice Nagasaki Soyo's innocence, then the second suggestion would not be so difficult to accept.

"Xiao Mu is not the type to speak without thinking. Even if there is a misunderstanding, she will not take the initiative to tell others about me and Quan. But if Xiangzi asks her, she can give the answer we expect."

After hearing the suggestions given by Izumi, the first suggestion was too extreme. Nagasaki Shoyo didn't want to lose not only Toyokawa Shoko, but also his own innocence.

So, after a brief analysis in her mind, she felt that the second suggestion was easier to accept and more reasonable.

"What do you mean by suggestive gestures?"

Nagasaki Shoyo had made up his mind but was still a little worried. He raised his head and looked at Izumi in front of him.

"Would you like to try it now? Although I personally feel that if you don't understand it now, it will be more impactful when you get to the scene, and your reaction will be more natural."

"..."

Nagasaki Shoyo stared into Izumi's eyes. She didn't see any filthy look in Izumi's eyes that made her feel disgusted. This made her feel a little relieved, but she still couldn't help biting her lips, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

"No need, let's wait until that time comes, and then... do it. This weekend, I will ask her out. I will tell you the time and place after we confirm them."

"Ah."

Chuckling and agreeing, Quan's eyes fell on the puzzle on the table. It seemed that there was no other topic for discussion between the two of them, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

At this point, Nagasaki Shoyo felt that he should stand up, say goodbye to Izumi and go home.

but……

Thinking of his empty home and the place where he is now accompanied by Izumi, Nagasaki Shoyo feels that the difference between the two does not seem to be that big. In fact, his home is not as good as this place where he can communicate with her.

Although her mother would come home in the evening and ask about her life, she had no common topics with her mother.

Recalling what Chihaya Aine said in 'RiNG' before, Nagasaki Shoyo couldn't help but look up and look at Izumi not far away.

'elder brother……'

If she had a brother, would her life be better now?

The wonderful world that I can only imagine in my mind makes me feel even more lonely inside.

228. Nagasaki Soushi is a gentle person

He noticed that someone was staring at him, and there were only him and Nagasaki Soyo in the room. He turned his head slightly and looked towards Nagasaki Soyo, and found that the girl was staring at him in a daze.

When Quan looked at Nagasaki Soyo, the distracted girl came to her senses slightly. She avoided Quan's gaze and felt a little embarrassed for her inexplicable thoughts just now.

"Did you rent this place yourself?"

Recalling the previous conversation with Chihaya Aine, some of the content confirmed that Chihaya Aine did not know the existence of this apartment, and also made Nagasaki Shoyo think of some things.

"Didn't I tell you this yesterday?"

He threw the puzzle piece in his hand onto the table and walked slowly towards Nagasaki Souse until he came in front of her. Izumi stopped and looked at him with a faint smile.

"It will definitely cost a lot of money to help Xiangzi... You don't need me to pay anything?"

Nagasaki Soushi bit her lip lightly and looked at Izumi's gaze, but she couldn't resist her curiosity and asked him.

She has not yet entered the society and has not left the ivory tower. She still has the pursuit of justice in her heart. She feels that her contribution is not worthy of Quan's contribution, and it is difficult for her not to care.

"What can you give?"

After hearing what Nagasaki Soushi said, a faint smile appeared on Quan's face.

I didn't expect Nagasaki Soushi would ask this question. Many thoughts came to my mind and I wanted to make an objective evaluation. At present, Nagasaki Soushi could not provide any material help to him, but if the words were too harsh, it would also affect their current relationship.

"Just stay the way you are now, Shuangshi. Let me take a good look at the ending of you and Ms. Toyokawa."

"..."

Nagasaki Soyo bit his lips, looked at Izumi in front of him, and wanted to say something, but he found that any words became difficult to utter when they came to his lips.

'I……'

Just the simple sentence "what can you give" made Nagasaki Shoyo suddenly realize that he seemed to have nothing to offer to Quan.

If her material conditions were met, there would be no need for Quan to help Xiangzi herself.

At this moment, Nagasaki Shoyo realized her own weakness and powerlessness. She pursed her lips, and at this moment, she seemed to understand some of Xiangzi's feelings.

"It's getting late, let's go back."

Looking at Nagasaki Soyo who was silent in front of him, Quan smiled and walked towards the door.

"..."

It was obviously impossible for Nagasaki Soyo to stay alone. He watched Izumi's actions, picked up his schoolbag in silence, and followed him out of the apartment.

Both of them needed to take the subway, and they were just walking on the way before arriving at the subway station, but they both remained silent while walking on the road.
