I have pure love with them

"..."

However, these thoughts only appeared in Nagasaki Shoyo's mind. After a brief burst of rapid breathing, her breathing gradually became normal again.

She knew that even if she did so, she was just venting her emotions and it had no meaning, either to the person in front of her or to herself.

Picking up the tea in front of her, she took a sip of it using the posture she learned from Toyokawa Shoko, and a gentle and indifferent smile appeared on her face, just like the one Toyokawa Shoko had in the past.

"No."

"..."

Looking at Nagasaki Shoyo who was sitting opposite her and holding the black tea in an ambiguous manner, Toyokawa Shoko's expression changed a little at this moment, and she frowned slightly.

"It's just that I was a little surprised and surprised that Quan would be willing to invite others to the apartment that belongs to him and me."

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko's expression changed again. She was confused about how Izumi could have such an apartment. After hearing what Nagasaki Soyo said, she couldn't help but wonder if it was Nagasaki Soyo who...

"He said he bought the piano... His tone and demeanor didn't sound like he was relying on anyone else."

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko's expression change, Nagasaki Shoyo lowered his eyes and stared at the rippling black tea in the cup.

"Is that all you want to say? If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

After a brief moment of contemplation, Toyokawa Shoko looked up at Nagasaki Soyo in front of her again, and felt that what the other party was talking about was completely empty and meaningless. She no longer had the intention to continue chatting with him.

"..."

Nagasaki Shoyo couldn't help but frown when Toyokawa Shoko suddenly wanted to end the conversation, and stared at the girl in front of her. After a moment's silence, she sat up slightly and stared at Toyokawa Shoko in front of her.

"I'm dating Izumi."

"..."

Nagasaki Soyo's remarks did not surprise Toyokawa Shoko at all. She looked at the girl in front of her calmly.

"It is Izumi's freedom to invite you, Ms. Toyokawa, to be his pianist. I don't want to interfere with his freedom, but... I also don't want Ms. Toyokawa to misunderstand Izumi's intentions and have any strange thoughts about him, even if it's just my overthinking."

Looking at Nagasaki Soyo in front of her with a serious expression, staring at her as if issuing a warning, Toyokawa Shoko sat in her seat in silence. Her eyes wandered for a moment, and then she slowly looked at Nagasaki Soyo in front of her.

"You are not the same as before."

The comment from Toyokawa Shoko did not change Nagasaki Shoyo's expression. She just looked at Toyokawa Shoko in front of her quietly, waiting for her answer.

"Everyone changes, just like you, Ms. Toyokawa."

"..."

"If it's Ms. Toyokawa, she definitely won't fall in love with someone else's boyfriend, right?"

Staring at Toyokawa Shoko in front of him, Nagasaki Shoyo used a very simple method to stimulate Toyokawa Shoko. Although the method was simple, it did stimulate Toyokawa Shoko, who originally wanted to remain silent.

'snort. ’

With a groan in her heart, Toyokawa Shoko met the gaze that Nagasaki Shoyo was looking at her.

"Don't worry. I have no interest in playing house, which is just a waste of time. I only accepted the pianist's invitation because he helped me before. What you are worried about will not happen."

Looking at Toyokawa Shoko's cold expression and speech, a faint smile appeared on Nagasaki Shoyo's face. He crossed his slender hands and placed them under his chin, staring at Toyokawa Shoko in front of him.

"Great, it seems that I was worrying too much. You are worthy of being Xiangzi. Then, let me trust you again. The last band is in the past. This time, you will definitely not do anything disappointing again~"

364. Quan: Are you envious?

Facing Nagasaki Soyo's smiling speech, Toyokawa Shoko's gaze stayed steadily on her face. Feeling the other party's deep gaze without a smile, Toyokawa Shoko felt the change in the girl in front of her.

"It seems that he is very important to you."

"Quan is as important to me as my family."

Facing Toyokawa Shoko's speech, Nagasaki Shoyo's gaze fell on the girl with long light blue hair. The former opponent was also a very important existence to her.

'But now, it is no longer the case.'

family.

When Toyokawa Shoko heard this word, her eyes drooped instantly, and then she stared silently at Nagasaki Soyo in front of her.

She wanted to say something to Nagasaki Soyo, but as she looked at the girl's gaze on her, the words of Toyokawa Shoko came to her mind. After a moment's silence, she still didn't say it out loud, and then she looked at Nagasaki Soyo in silence.

In such a silent atmosphere, Toyokawa Shoko was the first to retract her gaze. She didn't have time to continue wasting time with Nagasaki Soyo. The other party could sit here for an afternoon, but she couldn't. She still had things to do.

Looking at Toyokawa Shoko standing up from her seat, Nagasaki Shoyo didn't say anything, but just watched Toyokawa Shoko stand up quietly, and then left the coffee shop under her gaze.

"..."

As the footsteps gradually faded away and the bell rang as the coffee shop was leaving, Nagasaki Shoyo slowly glanced out the window. Looking at Toyokawa Shoko's departing back, she picked up the cup of black tea in front of her and took a sip.

"Ah, Toyokawa-san has already left. Now only Naga...Souyo is alone in the coffee shop. Do you still want to come?"

Just at the corner outside the coffee shop, Chihaya Aine, who had been observing the situation, was reporting the situation to her brother. Her brother was still on the way, but the situation here seemed to have ended. Chihaya Aine didn't know whether it was necessary for her brother to come over now.

"..."

The people were still on the road, but when Quan heard that the matter was over, he stopped.

"Since the matter is over, there is no need to rush over. I will ask Shuangshi about the specific situation later."

Originally, Izumi had heard that Nagasaki Soyo had taken the initiative to go to Hanegaoka to meet Toyokawa Shoko, and was worried that something might have gone wrong, so he came here specially. But now from what Aine said, it seemed that nothing serious had happened, so there was no need for him to rush forward any further.

Now Toyokawa Shoko has left, and only Nagasaki Soyo is left. If he goes there, he will have to face Nagasaki Soyo's questions as to why he appears in front of her at this time.

"Ah... then, what should I do now?"

Hearing that Izumi would not come again, Chihaya Aine squatted alone at the corner of the street, staring at Nagasaki Soushi in the coffee shop, a subtle expression appearing on her face.

“No band activities?”

"Well……"

"If you don't have any, go home. I have something else to take care of, so I won't go home for now."

"Oh."

After hearing what Izumi said, Chihaya Aine hung up the phone, sighed softly, and then looked up at the sky above her head.

"It always feels... so troublesome."

Although she didn't know the specific situation, Chihaya Aine already smelled a scent of trouble.

"Souyo and Toyokawa-san..."

Thinking of the existing entanglement between the two, Chihaya Aine found it quite troublesome, but from her observation just now, she noticed that the name of Izumi seemed to appear in the mouths of those two people, and she felt that the relationship between the two seemed to become more complicated.

"I'd better pretend I know nothing."

She sighed in her heart, looked at Nagasaki Soyo who had not left the coffee shop yet, and Chihaya Aine turned around and left quietly.

……

After learning that there was no intense conflict between Toyokawa Shoko and Nagasaki Soyo, Izumi came to the apartment alone and sent a message to Toyokawa Shoko, asking her if she could still come over today.

[Something happened today.]

got rejected.

Izumi was lying on the sofa, looking at the message sent by Toyokawa Shoko, his eyes slightly drooped, and a thoughtful look emerged.

'The two of them must have met because of what happened yesterday. After Toyokawa Shoko left, I explained the situation to Shuangshi. Given what happened before and Shuangshi's current personality, it is probably impossible for her to completely forgive Toyokawa Shoko.'

So, in Izumi's opinion, Nagasaki Shoyo went to see Toyokawa Shoko today probably to talk about things related to him.

"Are there no disagreements or conflicts between the two of you regarding me?"

After thinking in silence for a moment, Quan reached out and gently rubbed his forehead, then put his hands on his cheeks and let out a long sigh.

Sitting up from the sofa, he slowly walked to the piano, lifted the piano cover, and gently placed his fingertips on the black and white keys.

The clear sound made Quan's eyes slowly close, and he recalled the music played by Toyokawa Shoko.

"what……"

With a soft sigh, he closed the piano cover again, then walked to the sofa again and lay back on it. After sending a message to Nagasaki Souyo, he lay on the soft sofa and closed his eyes.

……

'Dad, I love you~'

Dimly, he seemed to hear a lovely girl throwing herself into his arms and confessing her love to him.

He couldn't see the girl's face clearly, but he thought the girl in front of him was very cute, with long pink hair.

Just as he was about to tentatively ask the girl's name, he suddenly felt something moving in his body. The strange feeling made him stop his search for the girl's identity, and his consciousness gradually became clear as he was thinking.

Slowly opening his sleepy eyes, Quan looked at the light above his head tiredly. He closed his eyes again after just opening them. After a while, he opened his eyes again and looked towards his chest.

A fair and slender wrist was moving on his chest. He followed the wrist and looked gradually to his side, and found that Nagasaki Shoyo was squatting quietly on the side, staring at him.

"..."

She noticed out of the corner of her eye that it seemed to be night falling outside the window behind her. Quan, lying on the sofa, adjusted his breathing and then extended his hand to the girl.

Watching Izumi's actions, Nagasaki Shoyo slowly stood up, then slowly sat down beside Izumi, held the hand that Izumi extended, placed it on her plump legs, spread out his palm, and gently fiddled with his fingers.

"woke up?"

"Ah."

Izumi, who had just woken up, was not very energetic at the moment. His eyes fell on Nagasaki Soushi. Under the soft light, the girl's figure was like a delicate painting. The graceful lines outlined by her delicate body gave Izumi the idea of ​​using a drawing brush at that moment.

"Now, what time is it?"

"It's probably 19pm in the evening. When I came here, it was around 18pm. I saw you resting here, so I didn't disturb you. I've been waiting until now."

Nagasaki Shoyo looked at Izumi gently when she woke up. Knowing that Izumi had just woken up, he spoke in a deliberately softer voice. The gentle voice made Izumi feel comfortable.

After lying on the sofa for a while, Quan slowly sat up, put his arms around Nagasaki Soushi's slender and soft waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and whispered softly in her ear -

"Can?"

As Nagasaki Shoyo was hugged by Izumi, a faint blush appeared on her face.

"……Um."
