I have pure love with them

Mrs. Chihaya, who was standing in the living room, was stunned for a moment after hearing her daughter's words, and then she immediately realized that her daughter seemed to have some misunderstandings.

"Ah, the phone call just now? No, it wasn't your dad. It was Quan who called. He said he would stay at a friend's house tonight and would not be back. Also, Quan asked me to tell you after I see you."

Aiyin, who was thinking about complaining to Izumi about the situation in the band, was stunned after hearing what her mother said.

"Not coming back?"

"Well, since he's not coming back tonight, I don't think I need to prepare his portion for dinner... But the call came a little late, so I've already prepared his portion..."

Stroking her cheek with her left hand, a distressed look appeared on Mrs. Chihaya's face, and Chihaya Aine couldn't help but wonder who the 'friend' that Izumi was talking about could be.

"It shouldn't be her, right?"

Aine muttered softly, and a slightly anxious expression emerged on her face. Without saying hello to her mother, she hurried upstairs. After returning to her room, she put her schoolbag on the table, took out her mobile phone, and called Quan.

"..."

In the apartment, Izumi, who had just finished talking to her mother and was about to discuss tonight's dinner with Nagasaki Souyo, was interrupted by the ringing of the phone before she could open her mouth.

Looking down at the caller's name, Quan's expression suddenly became strange.

"I just called home and she called me. Did you hear it from the side?"

She raised her head and looked in the direction of Nagasaki Soyo and found that she was looking at her. Izumi made an apologetic gesture to her, then returned to her original corner and answered the call from Aine.

"Where are you?"

"My friend's house, what happened? Did you just hear the conversation between my mother and me?"

"Which friend?"

Her voice sounded a little stiff, but one could tell that her purpose was clear: she wanted to know where Quan was and who he was with.

I guess I'm a little too sensitive.

"Shun? No, no, she knows Shun's home... Xiaodou is not a good choice either, it's easy for him to be exposed."

If he told Aine the truth about where he was now, it would be a problem for Izumi to explain it to her. Moreover, Nagasaki Soyo probably didn't want to meet Aine at the moment.

"A friend I knew in high school, Xishan. You've met his sister."

"Huh? Which one?"

The information about 'my friend's sister' immediately caught Aine's attention.

"You saw me seeing her off at the station, didn't you?"

"Ah...that person...are you in her home with her now?"

"You're asking too many questions, Aine. She's an adult now, so she moved out. For now, it's just me and Xishan at home. I'll be home tomorrow afternoon."

Facing Aine's questioning, it can be seen that Aine cares about him very much, but Quan still reminded Aine and expressed his attitude that he didn't want to be questioned too much.

"..."

Aine, who was in her room, wanted to continue asking some questions, but after hearing what Izumi said, she fell silent.

She did seem to ask too many questions that she wouldn't have asked otherwise. Her brows furrowed, she pursed her lips and groaned.

"Never mind you!"

Then he hung up the phone.

281. Xiangzi: I will prove that escaping is shameful and useless

"Is it okay?"

Even though the two of them were separated by distance, the words that Aine said before she hung up the phone were loud enough for Nagasaki Soushi, who was sitting in the quiet living room, to hear.

When she heard Aine's voice on the phone, and it seemed that she was very unhappy, Nagasaki Shoyo looked at Izumi with some concern.

A feeling of uneasiness spread in her heart. She didn't know whether Quan would choose to leave here and return to his home to comfort his younger sister, with whom he had a closer relationship, because of Aine's call.

"Ok?"

Hearing Nagasaki Soyo's question, Izumi, who had been looking down at the phone screen and had been hung up by Aine, raised his head and his eyes fell on Nagasaki Soyo's face. It was at this moment that he noticed the uneasiness hidden in Nagasaki Soyo's eyes and he chuckled softly.

"It's okay, she's just willful occasionally, but she's no longer the same child she used to be. There's no need to tolerate all of her willfulness."

"Willful?"

Thinking back on it, it seems to be just as Quan said.

Even though Izumi cares about Aine very much, he will not completely lose his own personality and become Aine's appendage because of Aine.

After realizing this, Nagasaki Soyo suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"It's no problem for you to stay here tonight, so let's discuss dinner, shall we?"

He walked slowly towards Nagasaki Sose, and when he came in front of her, he sat down on the sofa opposite her. The two of them discussed dinner for tonight and decided to go out together to buy some ingredients and then prepare dinner together.

When he went out, the night outside was getting darker, but fortunately the supermarket was still open. Accompanied by Izumi, listening to him explain the details of selecting vegetables and fruits, Nagasaki Shoyo felt inexplicably touched in his heart.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since her mother had accompanied her shopping. Conversations like these, full of the flavor of life, had turned yellow in the depths of her memory.

"Does Quan often go shopping with... your family?"

Nagasaki Shoyo originally wanted to ask 'Aine', but felt that asking this way might seem a bit deliberate, so he changed it to 'family' midway.

"Occasionally I go shopping with my family, but usually I go shopping alone. Sometimes Aine gets bored at home, so she'll come along."

Looking down at the expensive vegetables, even though he has lived here for more than ten years, Quan still feels dissatisfied with the unreasonable prices when he sees the price tags.

"Nonghui... Tsk."

When it comes to vegetables, Nagasaki Soyo is not the type who is picky or avoids them. But when talking about meat, she made it clear that she hates animal offal.

In this respect, he is similar to Quan.

"Well, I don't really like organs, do I?"

"Izumi-kun too?"

When she heard that she and Izumi had something in common, Nagasaki Shoyo seemed quite happy. She covered her cherry lips with her hands, looking a little surprised, and asked Izumi for confirmation.

"Basically, it doesn't look very pretty, but if it tastes good, you might give it a try."

Although Nagasaki Souyo was also in large part due to the fact that her internal organs looked a bit disgusting, after hearing what Izumi said, she couldn't help but think more deeply.

'Do you pay more attention to inner qualities than appearance?'

While selecting ingredients, Izumi didn't pay attention to Nagasaki Shoyo's thoughts, and didn't know that her simple answer would make the other party think too much.

After buying the ingredients and seasonings, the two returned to the apartment and began to prepare dinner for two...

[Shuangshi, she didn't come to school today]

After get off work, on her way home, Toyokawa Shoko received a text message from Wakaba Mutsu. After seeing the content of the message, she couldn't help but frown.

"..."

She stopped and bit her lip lightly.

[Do you think it’s my fault?]

Sent out.

She stared at the screen of her mobile phone for a moment, but after waiting for a while and not receiving a reply from Ruo Ye Mu, she became conflicted.

Nearly a week had passed since she broke up with Nagasaki Soyo. During this time, she learned from Wakaba Mutsu about Nagasaki Soyo's absence. At first, she didn't care, but just thought that the other party was hit and needed to calm down.

Just like she had not appeared in school or the band before, but now when she learned from Wakaba Mutsu that Nagasaki Soyo had not appeared in school for a week, Toyokawa Shoko felt a little uneasy in her heart.

'My fault? No... I just rejected her and told her not to contact me again. I... did nothing wrong.'

With a cold expression, Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips.

But, regardless of whether she was wrong or not, the fact that Nagasaki Souyo had not appeared for a week must have something to do with her, and she couldn't completely ignore it.

"I can't appear in front of her. If she sees me, it might become endless... Mu has no news about her, but there should be someone else who can contact her."

Toyokawa Shoko frowned and thought in her heart.

After the day when the incident happened, she deleted most of her contacts, even Ruo Yemu. She only added them again in recent times.

Those who are still in contact with Nagasaki Soyo, Tachibana Shiina and Tomori Takamatsu, are not on Toyokawa Shoko's contact list.

"The person who is still closely related to Nagasaki Soushi..."

After thinking for a while, the figure of a boy appeared in Toyokawa Shoko's mind, and she recalled the boy who had extended his hand to her under the moonlight.

"..."

Shaking her head to drive the image out of her mind, Toyokawa Shoko was certain that the other party was connected to Nagasaki Soyo, but in the current situation, she had no way to contact the other party.

"No, at school... His sister seems to be in the same band as Nagasaki Souyo, so she might know."

But when she thought about how to contact and inquire about Nagasaki Sose's current situation, Toyokawa Shoko looked a little hesitant.

Even though she knew a way to contact Nagasaki Soyo, she had an instinctive resistance to the idea of ​​contacting him. She didn't want to have anything to do with him at all. In addition, she didn't want to have any contact with Chihaya Izumi anymore.

Pursing her lips, Toyokawa Shoko began to think about ways to put this matter to rest without her having to intervene...

282. Compared with Shiina Riki, I think... forget it

Someone patted his shoulder, and Quan, who was walking on the road, turned around and looked to his side.

Hiroto Shioyama, who was as tall as him, appeared in front of him.

"Yesterday, thank you. Later, I contacted her again and asked her what happened. Maybe because she had already told you, she didn't give me any more excuses and told me what happened in general."

Hearing Hiroto Shioyama's thanks and recalling what happened yesterday, Quan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and almost forgot that it happened yesterday.

Temporarily dispelling the image of Nagasaki Soyo that remained in his mind, he briefly recalled what happened yesterday at Shioyama Ryone's apartment, and then looked back at Shioyama Hiroto in front of him.

"Although she is your sister, she is also someone you helped. When you talk to her, you can see that she cares about you as a brother. However, when facing the family members you care about, sometimes you will be too cautious and unable to say what is in your heart. In such a situation, the presence of me, an outsider, is actually useful."

Hiroto Shioyama stared blankly at Izumi in front of him, then smiled brightly and put his hand on Izumi's shoulder.

"Anyway, without your help, my family would probably be worried about her situation. Thank you... Also... don't you have any thoughts about... dating my sister?"
