I have pure love with them

Hearing Izumi's question, Aine, who was standing at the stairs, had a gloomy expression on her face. She was now lying on the bed, and whenever she closed her eyes, the image of the red mark on Izumi's neck would appear in front of her eyes, followed by some beautiful imaginations about Nagasaki Soushi and Izumi, which made her toss and turn in bed, unable to fall asleep at all.

But she obviously didn't feel comfortable telling her brother about these shameful things.

"It's a bit hot...so I can't sleep for a while."

"Want to go out for a run together?"

Faced with Quan's invitation, Chihaya Aine, who had already taken a bath, couldn't help but look down at her pajamas. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head slightly.

"Forget it, I'll sit in the living room for a while and then go back to rest."

"Well, I'm going out."

Hearing that Aine was not ready to go out, Quan, who was sitting in the living room, thought about it and decided not to insist. He smiled, tied his shoelaces, stood up, opened the door and left the house, leaving Aine standing alone at the stairs.

clatter--

The sound of the door closing lingered in Aine's ears. She slowly walked down the stairs, withdrew her gaze from the entrance, and slowly walked to the refrigerator.

She opened it, feeling the cool breeze, took out the refreshing barley tea, poured herself a little, and slowly sat down on the sofa in the living room with the cup. Looking at the empty living room, she took a sip, then slowly raised her face and stared at the light above her head.

"I always feel... so disgusted."

Aine whispered to him while sitting alone at home without knowing that he had left.

After leaving home, Quan did some simple warm-up exercises and then started jogging on the streets at night.

At the beginning, he still felt a little uncomfortable, but as the running distance gradually increased and his body gradually began to adapt, he became immersed in the exercise. With his rhythmic breathing, all thoughts disappeared from his mind.

'Inhale, inhale, inhale, inhale...'

When he stopped, he found himself at the door of Toyokawa Shoko's apartment.

"..."

He stopped and stood in front of the other party's door for a moment, then shook his head and continued to run forward until he reached Tokinoya's apartment. After resting for a while, he ran back to his own home.

Just as he entered the house, he found that the lights in the living room were bright. He walked slowly into the living room and saw Aiyin lying on the sofa.

"Ok?"

He walked slowly to the sofa and looked at Aine who was lying on the sofa, as if she was asleep. Just when he walked to the sofa and was about to wake her up, he found that the girl's eyes were open and she was not asleep. She even glanced at Izumi when he came to her.

Aiyin was lying alone on the sofa, looking at Izumi who was covered in sweat. She stared at him for a while, her eyes resting on his neck.

As she was out for a night run, Izumi was only wearing a sports suit and did not try to cover up the marks on her body, so they were completely exposed to Aine's eyes. Aine, who was lying on the sofa, could not help but bite her lip, then she lay horizontally on the sofa and gently hooked her finger towards Izumi with her right hand in front of her.

Seeing that Aiyin was unwilling to speak to him and was only communicating with him using gestures, Quan had no idea what was wrong with her. Worried that his sweat would drip onto her, he gently squatted down and looked at his sister in front of him.

"what happened?"

Aiyin, who was lying on the sofa, said nothing in response to Quan's question. She just sat up a little straighter and stared into Quan's eyes under Quan's gaze.

There was a gleam in her eyes, and she seemed to be struggling with something. Then, under Quan's gaze, she suddenly stretched out her hands, hugged Quan's neck, and when Quan was surprised, she opened her mouth and bit Quan's shoulder.

……

"You seem to be in a good mood. Did something good happen?"

After arriving at school early in the morning, Hiroto Shioyama noticed Izumi, who had arrived at school earlier than him, and seemed to be in a good mood while sitting in his seat before he sat down in his seat.

Although there was no obvious smile on his face, his relaxed brows and the look in his eyes made him feel that the Quan in front of him was in a good mood.

In response to Hiroto Shioyama's question, Izumi, who was sitting behind him, looked at him, then closed his eyes and thought for a moment. A refreshing and gentle smile appeared on his face, which made Hiroto Shioyama feel a little strange.

"The things that have been troubling me for a long time have changed a little bit."

"Ok?"

Hiroto Shioyama, who didn't understand what Quan meant, was full of confusion, but from what Quan said, it seemed that he was not going to explain, so he didn't ask. He had successfully adapted to Quan's occasional riddles, and he didn't ask about things Quan didn't want to say. After sitting down quietly, he turned around and asked Quan another question.

"do you have time tomorrow?"

"Hmm? I've already made an appointment with someone, so I don't think I have much time. What's the matter?"

"...ha~"

After hearing Izumi's answer, Hiroto Shioyama showed a helpless look on his face. He had originally planned to go shopping with Izumi tomorrow as it was his day off to kill time and avoid his vicious sister at home, but now it seems that this is not possible.

There was no point in going out alone, and Hiroto Shioyama couldn't think of anything he could do alone. After being rejected by Izumi, he sighed slowly.

"No, nothing happened."

Looking at Hiroto Shioyama who seemed to have a gloomy expression in front of him, Quan didn't know what happened to him, but since the other party didn't explain in detail, he didn't ask.

Suddenly he felt as if someone was staring at him, and he looked in the direction of the sight.

Xuanji Ci withdrew his gaze and sat down quietly in his seat.

"It's her."

After noticing that the person observing her was Ayatsuji Koto, Izumi's curiosity instantly disappeared. She then looked in the direction of Goto Ichiri and found that the girl was lying on the table as usual, in order to avoid possible conversations from the people around her.

Retracting his gaze, Quan looked out the window.

'What a nice day.'

……

“Aine?”

"Eh? Hmm? What's wrong?"

Nagasaki Shoyo noticed that Aine seemed absent-minded today, and when she looked at her, Aine would subconsciously avoid her gaze, which made Nagasaki Shoyo feel confused and concerned.

Not long ago, she went shopping with Aine and improved their relationship, but today she suddenly became strange, which made Nagasaki Shoyo feel suspicious.

When Chihaya Aine heard Nagasaki Soushi calling her, her body stiffened for a moment, and then her eyes slowly looked towards Nagasaki Soushi.

But when her sight met Nagasaki Sose for a moment, her eyes wandered away.

"Are you okay? You seem a little distracted today... Did something happen?"

In response to Nagasaki Soyo's question, Chihaya Aine's eyes fell on Kaname Rakuna, who was quietly scooping a matcha parfait at the side. For a moment, she hoped that this "stray cat" would speak up and guide the conversation.

But looking at Kaname who was concentrating on scooping the parfait and completely ignoring herself and Nagasaki Souyo, she knew that her hopes were a little unnecessary. She slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at Nagasaki Souyo with a wandering look.

"That's not the case~ It's just that maybe it was because the weather was too hot, so I didn't get enough rest, ahahaha~"

The forced smile and the wandering eyes were totally unconvincing, and made Nagasaki Shoyo feel even more concerned about what Chihaya Aine was hiding.

'Is it related to something in the band?'

Nagasaki Soyo looked towards the service desk. Shiina Tateki was working. Takamatsu Deng had some urgent matters today and went home first.

After thinking carefully in his mind, Nagasaki Shoyo first suspected Takamatsu Deng, but he couldn't think of what happened between Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Deng that would make Aine show such an attitude towards him. As for Shiina Riki... it was unlikely that the two of them would say bad things about her together...

My eyes fell on Kaname Rakuna who was quietly savoring her matcha parfait... I could just ignore her.

"It has nothing to do with the people in the band, so..."

The closest connection between her and Chihaya Aine is not the band, but——

'spring?'

The figure of Izumi appeared in her mind, and Nagasaki Shoyo's heart suddenly became quiet. She began to quickly think about the possible reasons related to Izumi in her mind, and her brows furrowed.

Seeing Nagasaki Soyo's expression suddenly become heavy and frowned as if she was not thinking about anything, Chihaya Aine, who was sitting next to her, swallowed softly, and then could not help but avoid Nagasaki Soyo's sight, turned her head to look away, feeling a little nervous inside.

"What could have caused Aine to show such an expression? Could it be the relationship between me and Izumi? No, she already knew about it a long time ago, so she wouldn't show such an expression now, so...she knew something about me and Izumi? "

Afterwards, Nagasaki Shoyo couldn't help but think of the traces he left on Izumi.

"Izumi lives with his family, and the weather is hot right now. Did Aine accidentally see him while he was resting at home?"

The first thing that came to her mind was the willful behavior she had done not long ago. Nagasaki Shoyo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then she felt more and more that this was the reason, and her face turned slightly red.

In front of Izumi, she could be proactive, but... for people outside of Izumi, especially those who were close to Izumi, Nagasaki Shoyo still felt a little ashamed...

367. Quan: I want to tell Soyo

Although Nagasaki Shoyo felt that Chihaya Aine would know some things sooner or later, but... letting Chihaya Aine know these things now made Nagasaki Shoyo feel troubled and entangled about how to get along with Chihaya Aine in the future.

“If Aine knew about it later, it wouldn’t be a problem, right? If she knew about it now, she would be a little shy when we meet in the future…”

According to what she had discussed with Izumi before, as long as he waited until his birthday, he could move out and live with her. At that time, Izumi would no longer live with Aine, so this embarrassing thing would not happen.

Chihaya Aine, with her eyes wandering, felt that Nagasaki Soushi in front of her seemed not to be looking at her anymore, so she set her sights on his face, only to find that his face was slightly red. She didn't know what he was thinking about, and he looked even more embarrassed than her.

'What is she thinking of?'

Chihaya Aine was confused. She looked at Nagasaki Soushi, whose face was slightly red in front of her. She thought for a moment, but before Nagasaki Soushi noticed her gaze, she retracted her gaze.

"Just pretend you didn't notice anything."

……

At the Tokinoya home, Tokinoya Mio was not afraid of the hot weather. She was sitting comfortably in Izumi's arms, hugging her neck tightly with both hands, and looking at Izumi's face with eyes full of affection.

Izumi, who was sitting in front of the low table and being held by Tokinoya Mion, was quietly peeling the walnuts she had bought on the table.

"Summer vacation is coming soon, how are you going to spend it, will you go out?"

After staring at Izumi's face for a long time, Tokinoya Mion, who had eased the pain of missing him, slowly leaned into Izumi's arms, whispering softly, asking him about his upcoming holiday plans.

It is now the end of June and July is coming soon. In late July, schools across the country will start to have holidays, which will last until the end of August. There is a month of vacation time. Here in Quan, we have basically made arrangements for the holidays, but it is only a small part of the vacation time.

Except for the one week that has been confirmed to go to the beach, the rest of the time will basically be in Tokyo.

Izumi gently cracked the walnut shell and peeled out the kernel. After hearing Tokinoya Mion's question, he lowered his head slightly and looked at the girl's fair and tender face. Meeting the girl's expectant eyes, he nodded slightly.

"I will go out for a while, probably about a week. The rest of the time, if there is nothing else to do, I will basically spend time at home. The weather outside is too hot. If there is no need, even I don't want to go out in the scorching sun."

Tokinoya Mio couldn't say whether she was satisfied or disappointed with Izumi's answer. She just felt that Izumi's answer was quite standard.

"Aren't you going to participate in that competition?"

"Hmm? That thing? I've already rejected it. I'm not interested in it, and..."

After a moment of silence, his eyes fell on Tokinoya Mion's face. He shook his head gently without elaborating. Tokinoya Mion looked at Izumi in front of him who didn't want to say much, and didn't ask any further questions. She just silently withdrew her gaze and quietly snuggled in Izumi's arms.

The window behind Quan was open, and the warm summer breeze blew the curtains on the windowsill, swaying gently.

The backlit apartment is still cool even without air conditioning or electric fans.
