"...I see. Then you take care of her first. I'll go get a towel."

"Ah."

Noticing Izumi's gaze, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but feel nervous, subconsciously thinking that Izumi wanted to look at Takamatsu Deng who had his tea accidentally spilled on him.

But when she was about to close the door a little more, Quan had already turned around and left to prepare a towel for her, leaving Aine standing at the door of the room, and for a moment she began to doubt whether she was too nervous.

"..."

Back in the room, Aine looked at Takamatsu Deng who was standing. The girl's school uniform skirt, which was originally yellow-green, now looked a bit darker in color and had signs of wetness, which might be mistaken for incontinence by someone who didn't know the situation.

"Sorry...Light, are you okay?"

"Because it's not hot tea, it's okay... It just feels a little... cold, which is not very comfortable."

Knowing that Chihaya Aine didn't do it on purpose, and that it was because of the herbal tea, there was no scalding accident, but the cool feeling made Takamatsu Deng feel uncomfortable.

"I've asked Quan to get a towel. Wait a moment. I'll go get my pants. You can wear mine first when the light comes on. I'll wash your skirt first. You can change back after it's dry."

"……Um."

After hearing Aine's arrangement, Takamatsu Deng felt it was very reasonable and had no objection. She nodded slightly, then slowly lowered her head and looked at the wet spot on her skirt, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.

"When was the last time you got your skirt wet?"

She had no idea what Takamatsu Deng was thinking, but seeing her lower her head and looking at her skirt, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but blame herself. She didn't expect that she would be so careless.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Izumi, who had left, returned to the door and brought the towels that Aine and Deng needed.

Still not letting Izumi into the house, Aiyin first wiped her skirt with the towel, then used it to wipe the tea on the floor. She asked Takamatsu Deng to take off her skirt, took out her own skirt and asked her to change into it, then she left the room with the towel and skirt.

As soon as she left the room, Chihaya Aine saw Izumi standing outside the room.

"Eh?"

When she saw Izumi, Aine was also stunned for a moment.

"Is there anything else you need help with?"

"..."

Glancing down at the towel and skirt in her hands, then looking at Izumi in front of her, Aine shook her head decisively.

"No, I can do it myself. The light is in the room now, don't go in there!"

"Since there's nothing for me to do, I'll go back to my room."

Facing his sister's warning, Quan didn't care. Seeing that there seemed to be nothing for him to do, he went back to his room. Aiyin watched Quan leave, pursed her lips slightly, and silently went to clean the short skirt for Deng.

Because there is a dryer at home, Aiyin only needs to wash Takamatsu Deng's skirt and then dry it, which is not a big problem.

Quan, who had nothing to do, sat down in front of the computer and looked at his mobile phone.

"……never mind."

In his heart, he wanted to talk to Nagasaki Soushi about Takamatsu Deng coming to his house, but he felt that it would cause an unnecessary chain reaction. As soon as the thought came to Izumi's mind, he extinguished it.

After turning on the computer, Quan looked at the monitor in front of him, clicked on the browser, and began to pay attention to the current international currency market...

"Remember to lock the door when you rest tonight."

When Quan was sitting in front of the computer watching the currency trend, there was a knock on the door suddenly, forcing him to stand up. When he walked to the door of the room, he saw Aiyin standing outside the room and heard her somewhat puzzling request.

312. Boqi: I will protect everything that comes with being a friend!

Quan didn't have any objection to Aine inviting Takamatsu Deng to spend the night at her home again, but when Aine came to his room and asked him to lock the door at night, he looked at Aine in front of him, was silent for a moment, and looked at her subtly.

"I should have been the victim last time, right? Even if it's for a friend, you shouldn't be too partial, right?"

"..."

Aine, who was standing in front of Izumi, was speechless for a moment.

"But! The lamp is a guest, so it's normal to be a little partial to the guest!"

After being silenced by Izumi for a while, Aine quickly thought of a reason to refute, and quickly spoke again, preventing Izumi from having the chance to refute.

"In short! If you don't lock the door at night and let a light that's not familiar with the room's location enter your room again... I'll tell Li Xi!"

"..."

Originally, facing Chihaya Aine's 'threat', Izumi still had a faint smile on her face, but when the name of Shiina Riki appeared in her mouth, the smile on Izumi's face gradually faded.

In the band that Chihaya Aine is in, the only person he has the most difficulty dealing with is Shiina Tachibana.

No, it’s not that he can’t cope with it, it’s just that getting along with the other person makes him feel very tired.

If Shiina Riki knew that Takamatsu Deng had entered his room and slept with him for a while, he could easily imagine a girl in the Hanasakigawa school uniform, with her arms folded in front of her, standing guard at the school gate with an impatient look on her face.

"Are you sure you want to tell Li Xi that Deng spent the night with you?"

"..."

Aine, who was standing at the door, was silent for a moment after hearing Izumi's question. The two looked at each other, and the cold expression of Shiina Riki appeared in their minds. Then they shook their heads together.

After dinner at home, the two girls went to the bathroom first as before, while Izumi was in her room, talking with Tokinoya Mion.

Tokinoya Mion is unable to go out alone, and the only way for her to contact the outside world is the Internet.

"Living on the second floor of the apartment is also a big problem. Even if she wants to go out by herself, it is totally inconvenient."

Looking at the message the girl sent him, asking about his life on campus and whether he was free during this period, it was obvious that she cared about the outside world very much and also longed for Quan's company.

"..."

His eyes couldn't help but glance towards the drawer. Quan slowly opened the drawer and looked at the two tickets inside.

"Shall we let Mio go to the show with us?"

It’s just that the time and location of the performance were a little inappropriate for a child like Tokinoya Mio, and there was no telling what kind of impact watching the live show would have on Mio.

“Me, Aine, and Mio… the combination is a bit tricky.”

After thinking about it for a while, Quan still felt that he shouldn't let Mio go to a place like a livehouse.

"Let's invite Shuangshi to go with us."

Several people came to my mind, but none of them seemed suitable. My sister has always wanted to talk to Nagasaki Souyo, so as a brother, it wouldn't be too much to create an opportunity for her, right?

dong dong——

"We're ready, Izumi, the bathroom is ready for use."

There was a knock on the door, and Aine's familiar voice made Izumi, who was sitting in front of the computer, stop thinking for a while.

"Ah."

He responded, looking at the screen in front of him and typing 'good night', ending the conversation with Tokinoya Mio.

Saturday.

There's nothing special about it.

When I sent a message to Nagasaki Soushi and asked her if she wanted to go to a live performance together, she initially suspected that it was Aine and the others' live performance, but after Izumi stated that it was not Aine and the others' live performance, Nagasaki Soushi agreed without hesitation.

During this period of time after leaving the band, Nagasaki Shoyo still hasn't found what she wants to do, so the only thing that can enrich her life now is things related to Izumi.

In the afternoon, when it was time to go out of school, Goto Ichiri, who was sitting in his seat, couldn't help but look in the direction of Izumi.

"Izumi-san...I feel like you've changed a lot recently."

Even though they met and communicated every day, Goto Ichiri always felt that the distance between him and Izumi was gradually widening.

Goto Ichiri, who didn't like this feeling, was also thinking about how to get closer to Izumi, but she didn't know how to do it. She lay on the table in a depressed mood, with a look of loss in her eyes.

"Give Quan a gift that he likes? What does he like... I think I mentioned it? I can't remember! I don't have any impression at all... Besides, it would be weird to give a gift at this time... But at other times... His birthday seems to be in September, and it's only June now, so there are still 9 months to September... 6 months..."

Right now, Goto Ichiri already feels a strange sense of distance between herself and Izumi. If another three months were to pass, she herself would not be able to imagine what kind of relationship they would have.

'Strangers? No! Absolutely not! I... I have to do something!'

Goto Ichiri, who was lying on the table, couldn't help but bite his lips and made a decision in his heart.

"Yili, activities, come on."

Her shoulders suddenly sank, and Goto Ichiri looked back, only to find Izumi smiling at her, encouraging her as always.

"……Um."

The original complicated thoughts evaporated from her mind in an instant. Goto Ichiri stared at Izumi's face. Before she could say anything, Izumi waved at her gently and left the classroom, leaving Goto Ichiri sitting in her seat, carefully recalling Izumi's gentle smile.

When Goto Ichiri suddenly came to his senses, Izumi had already disappeared.

"..."

After tidying up his schoolbag, Goto Ichiri walked out of the classroom with his guitar on his back, feeling a little disappointed.

Kita Ikuyo often goes to 'Starry' with Goto Ichiri, but sometimes, she can't refuse the invitation of other friends, so she goes shopping with friends first and then goes to 'Starry'. At this time, Goto Ichiri goes to 'Starry' alone.

"Goto-san?"

Just as Goto Ichiri left the classroom and walked towards the school gate, a familiar voice sounded from behind her, causing Goto Ichiri to stop and look back in confusion.

Although hearing someone calling her name made Goto Ichiri wonder if she was hallucinating, she still looked back out of caution.

"A-Ayatsuji-san?"

313. Shuangshi: That day I burst into tears

"It feels a bit unexpected. I didn't expect Quan Jun would take the initiative to invite me to watch the performance."

In Izumi's private apartment, Nagasaki Shoyo, who received an invitation from Izumi, came to the apartment alone and met Izumi who had arrived at the apartment earlier. Then his eyes fell on the coffee table. He walked aside and reached out to pick up the ticket on the coffee table.

"On my way home earlier, I ran into a girl who seemed to have just started a band activity. She was selling tickets to passers-by. She looked very embarrassed, so I bought some tickets. There were only two tickets, and I was troubled for a while about who to invite to go with me."

"Two tickets?"

Nagasaki Soyo looked at the ticket in his hand, then his eyes fell on Quan's face, feeling a little surprised.

"…You're not inviting your sister?"
