I have pure love with them

"Because this place is very big, it's normal that they didn't notice me coming back... Where's Shuangshi? Why didn't she come down with you?"

Ms. Nagasaki picked up the wine glass in front of her, took a sip, and asked Quan about her daughter in a casual tone.

"She fell asleep."

"..."

The drinking action paused for a moment, Ms. Nagasaki lowered her eyes, put down the wine glass in her hand, and then a helpless and forced smile appeared on her face.

"I see, she's already asleep... Haha, I'm such an incompetent mother. Every time I get home, my daughter is already asleep. Thank you, Chihaya-kun."

Facing Ms. Nagasaki's self-reflection and her gratitude to herself, Izumi, who was standing beside her, did not change her expression on her face, but her heart rate began to slowly rise. She felt that Ms. Nagasaki opposite her was about to increase her intensity.

"Speaking of which... what is the relationship between Chihaya-kun and Souyo now?"

Seeing Ms. Nagasaki gradually sitting up straight and looking at him, Izumi adjusted his facial expression, met Ms. Nagasaki's eyes, and smiled faintly.

"friend."

"Hey, my friend... I thought Chihaya-kun was already dating Soyo. Since you're not dating, why don't you try dating me, your elder sister? I like Chihaya-kun very much. If you date Soyo, it's like having a cute son. But since you're not dating, it seems like you could be my boyfriend, too."

It seemed a little different from what he had expected. After hearing what Ms. Nagasaki said, Quan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

"Ms. Nagasaki is lovely, but I prefer the cooler world."

"Then why didn't you date Shuangshi?"

Ms. Nagasaki looked at Izumi with a puzzled expression on her face, but her voice was deep, and it was obvious that this was the question Ms. Nagasaki wanted to ask.

"Maybe... it's not the right time yet. If we get too close, we'll be afraid of hurting each other, and if we're too far away, we'll worry about losing each other. Just keep a suitable distance. If everything is right when we get along, then there will naturally be a suitable ending for both of us."

Ms. Nagasaki stared at Izumi for a while, then retracted her gaze and picked up the wine glass on the table.

"Would you like to join me for a drink?"

"No, there are people waiting for me at home, so I'll leave first."

"Well, I'm not at home much because of work. If you have time, please spend more time with Shuangshi."

When Izumi was about to leave, Ms. Nagasaki's words surprised Izumi a little, as if she approved of his current relationship with Nagasaki Soyo.

"Ok."

He agreed and then left the apartment.

Ms. Nagasaki was sitting alone in the living room, looking at the wine glass in her hand. Thinking of her daughter in the bedroom, her face became confused. She always thought that her daughter was a well-behaved child, but after seeing what happened in the hall that day, Ms. Nagasaki realized that she did not seem to understand her daughter.

She didn't know who the girl was whom her daughter was trying so hard to keep. She just felt that there was something wrong with her daughter attaching so much importance to a girl. However, she didn't feel comfortable asking her daughter what was going on.

"Although Chihaya-kun seems to be a very playboy, boys are better than girls anyway... He just needs to make Shuangshi happy."

Pick up the wine glass and drink it all in one gulp.

Ms. Nagasaki feels that she is a failure as a mother.

On the way home, Quan took the road with more people.

Although Ms. Nagasaki did not show any dissatisfaction when they were in the apartment, and seemed to approve of his relationship with Nagasaki Soyo, but... everything was for safety reasons.

"Besides, there are other things to deal with when you get home."

Closing his eyes and sighing, Quan walked towards home.

……

The Chihaya family usually goes to bed around 21 p.m., so when Izumi returned to his home, it was already 22 p.m., and his parents should have gone to bed.

While standing outside, I noticed that the lights in Aine’s room were also off.

'Are you really asleep?'

After changing his shoes and entering the house, Quan looked down at his body and then glanced towards the bathroom.

"I still have to go back to my room first."

Lightening his steps, Quan slowly walked to the door of his room.

"..."

After thinking for a moment, he opened the door, entered the room, turned on the light in the room, but found that Aine was not on his bed.

"Angry?"

Izumi was a little surprised when he didn't see Aine appear in his room, and he also felt a headache coming on.

If she was in his room, it meant that Aine was in a good mood and not particularly angry, but if she was not in his room, it meant that she already had a grudge in her heart, and it would not be easy to make her feel relieved.

Picking up his clothes and leaving his room, Izumi glanced towards Aine's room before heading towards the bathroom.

"Things still need to be solved bit by bit."

303. Stop testing me

What would have happened if I had really accepted Ms. Nagasaki's suggestion and expressed my intention to date her at that time?

In a hazy and confused dream, Quan dreamed of what happened in Nagasaki's house. Facing Ms. Nagasaki's temptation, he found it very interesting and agreed, but Ms. Nagasaki looked at him with surprise, was silent for a while, and did not show any dissatisfaction. She smiled and invited Quan to have dinner with her.

But after dinner, she sent Izumi home in a taxi, and then asked Nagasaki Shoyo to delete all contact information about him and forbade Nagasaki Shoyo to meet him.

Although Nagasaki Soyo did have a special affection for Izumi, he still made a compromise in front of his only relative and could only meet Izumi secretly. However, they only met once. Not long after, Ms. Nagasaki appeared in front of Izumi with a photo of their meeting, forbidding him to have any contact with Nagasaki Soyo again.

And then……

"It was a very unpleasant dream."

After waking up with his eyes open, Quan, who was lying on the bed, slowly sat up, then looked around. After confirming that it was just a dream, he sighed softly, and the depression that had gathered in his heart slowly dissipated.

"But if I really gave a frivolous answer at that time, then it wouldn't just be a dream...right?"

He sighed softly. Because the content of his dream was not very pleasant, Quan was not in a good mental state when he woke up.

After sitting quietly on the bed for a while, Quan slowly got up and prepared to go to school.

As he walked out of the room, he glanced towards Aine’s room.

"Still resting."

It was still early and there was still a long time before school started, so Quan was in no hurry to wake up Aine who was still resting. He prepared to go out by himself. Considering that he had things to do today, he also tidied up his appearance in front of the mirror.

"You got up very early today, is there anything going on?"

When she had almost finished tidying up and came to the living room, Mrs. Chihaya had just gotten up not long ago. When she was about to start preparing breakfast, she saw Izumi coming to the living room and was a little surprised.

"No, I just woke up early."

Compared to usual, Quan did wake up a little earlier today. When his mother asked him about it, Quan told her the truth.

"You came back quite late last night. Did you come back after we fell asleep?"

Although as a parent, Mrs. Chihaya has always trusted her son, but seeing that Izumi often did not come home overnight or came back very late at night, Mrs. Chihaya still felt a little worried and wanted to understand the general situation.

"It was probably around 22pm. I stayed with my friend for a while and ran into his mother who was coming back from overtime work. We chatted for a while and it took a while, so I came back a little late."

Breakfast was prepared by his mother, so Quan just poured himself a glass of milk, then sat down in the living room, quietly waiting for breakfast.

"Girls?"

Mrs. Chihaya asked tentatively.

"Ah."

Since his sister already knew about it, there was no need to hide it from his family. He didn't think he would be banned from interacting with girls if he told his mother.

This was indeed the case. After learning that Izumi was spending so late with a girl, Mrs. Chihaya did not give him any special instructions. She just stared at Izumi with a slightly troubled look for a while and chose to remain silent.

She didn't think her son would suffer a loss in such a matter, and she also felt that her son should be prepared in his heart and would not make a disappointing choice.

In addition...

Compared with problems within the family, she is more willing to accept her son getting closer to other girls.

When Mrs. Chihaya prepared breakfast, Mr. Chihaya also came to the living room. At Mrs. Chihaya's instruction, Quan came to the door of Aine's room, knocked gently on the girl's door, and asked the girl to get up and go downstairs to eat.

"Oh, I see."

Aine's cold voice was heard from inside the house, surprising Izumi who was standing at the door.

"It seems that you are in a very bad mood, especially at this time."

Izumi, who was standing in front of the door, had a helpless look on his face after hearing Aine's voice, but he did not knock on the door or go in to comfort Aine inside.

'At this time, let her calm down on her own.'

If you are too proactive and enthusiastic towards Aine at this time, it will make her have unnecessary thoughts in her mind. The correct way to deal with it is to keep some distance from her and let her calm down.

"Then I'll go down and wait for you."

In the room, Chihaya Aine, who was lying on the bed, had woken up early, but because she was in a bad mood, she had not gotten up.

Hearing her brother knocking on the door and telling her to get up, she sat up with a gloomy face, looked at the door with some melancholy eyes, and reluctantly prepared to get up.

"Are you leaving? What?... Why don't you stay a little longer and come in to wake me up?"

If possible, Aiyin didn't want to move at all. She let her brother enter the house, help her dress and wash, and then carry her downstairs to eat.

Sitting alone in her room, Aine recalled the inexplicable feeling that welled up in her heart when she saw Izumi in the Nagasaki family apartment yesterday. She bit her lip, got out of bed with a depressed look, and started to prepare for school...

Sitting at the dining table, looking at their two children who had little communication or interaction, the Chihaya couple looked at each other.

Although they were all curious about what happened, they didn't say anything in the current atmosphere. After Anjing had breakfast, Quan, who had prepared for school first, stood quietly at the door, waiting for his sister to arrive.

"..."

When Chihaya Aine had made all the preparations and arrived at the door of her house, she noticed that her brother was waiting for her. Her eyes wandered for a moment and she slowly walked to Izumi's side.

"Let's go."

"……Um."

Her mood was still full of complicated feelings, but when faced with Izumi's invitation, Chihaya Aine couldn't refuse and followed her brother out the door.

Mrs. Chihaya, who was originally somewhat concerned about the situation of the two children, was no longer worried after noticing that the two children went out together. If the two went out separately, she would have to find a way to find out if there was any problem with the relationship between the siblings.

"Is it because Izumi came back late last night? Aine, that girl, really cares about her brother's affairs... "
