370. Quan: Not as tasty as expected

When Nagasaki Soyo entered the dressing room to try on clothes, Izumi, who was standing inside the store, looked slightly in the direction of the dressing room and recalled Goto Ichiri who was changing clothes in his room this morning.

'Can I come in?'

Looking sideways to his side, feeling the clerk's gaze on him, Quan shook his head gently in his heart.

Can't get in.

Nagasaki Shoyo himself probably wouldn't care about Izumi entering the dressing room and watching her changing clothes, but after all, it was a public place, and there were store clerks paying attention to the situation in the store. If he entered the dressing room, he would probably come over soon and ask "if I need any help."

At the same time, Quan became curious about the first person who used the locker room for something other than changing clothes. He wondered what kind of thought process would lead to using a locker room.

But before Izumi could come up with a reasonable answer, Nagasaki Shoyo poked his head out of the locker room, looked at Izumi standing in the store, and waved at him gently.

"Ok?"

Izumi noticed what was happening with Nagasaki Souyo and slowly walked up to her.

"Come in and take a look. I don't know if this style is suitable for me."

Looking at Izumi who came to him, Nagasaki Soyo gently pushed aside the door curtain of the locker room and invited Izumi to enter. Izumi, who was standing in front of the door curtain, was a little surprised after hearing Nagasaki Soyo's words, and turned around to look around the store.

There were no other customers, but the female clerk was keeping an eye on him.

Looking back at Nagasaki Soyo in front of him, he nodded slightly, then entered the locker room and saw Nagasaki Soyo wearing a pure black exquisite swimsuit.

The style is a classic lace-up bikini. Against the backdrop of the pure black swimsuit, Nagasaki Soushi's already fair skin looks even whiter and tenderer. The revealing and bold style also exposes Nagasaki Soushi's already advantageous figure to Izumi.

"suitable for you."

After staring at Nagasaki Soushi in front of him for a long time, Quan nodded slightly and gave his own evaluation.

"Really? I'm...still worried that it won't be too revealing and not suitable for going to the beach."

With her hands lightly covering her body, Nagasaki Shoyo looked down at her body whose toes could not be seen, and the swimsuit she was wearing. There was a look of surprise on her face. She thought Quan would object to her choosing this swimsuit.

"You don't need to worry about that. The beach villa I rented has a private beach. There won't be anyone else there except us."

In response to Nagasaki Soushi's worries, Quan gave an answer that surprised her a little.

The people he invited for this vacation trip were basically all girls, and there were quite a few of them. The number has not been determined yet, but whether it was Nagasaki Soyo or his own sister, Izumi didn't want to be disturbed by other people when he was with them, so he specially chose a villa with a private beach and rented it. The price was a bit expensive, but for Izumi, it was totally worth it.

After getting Izumi's answer, Nagasaki Shoyo smiled faintly, and then pointed to another bikini skirt on her side.

"Then, buy this one too, it will be a good backup."

Quan didn't have any objection to this. His eyes lingered on the other bikini and he nodded slightly.

At a quick glance, both the string bikini on Nagasaki Soushi and the skirt bikini next to it were sizes that Aine couldn't match.

"Can you keep going?"

There were less than three years left, and Quan thought about it and decided to trust his sister.

After buying swimsuits for the vacation, the two took a short stroll on the street. Izumi walked Nagasaki Shoyo back to her apartment. Before leaving, Nagasaki Shoyo wanted to keep Izumi at his home for a while, but considering that he ran into Ms. Nagasaki waiting in the living room when he left the room last time, he just chatted with Nagasaki Shoyo for a while before saying goodbye and going home.

"..."

Looking at Quan's departing back, Nagasaki Shoyo, who was sitting alone in the living room, pursed his lips slightly, glanced at the current time, and sighed softly.

"Two more months? Once the summer break is over and September comes, I can live with Quan. The two of us can live together..."

Whispering softly, Nagasaki Shoyo could no longer bear the loneliness of being separated from Izumi like now. Only when she was with Izumi could she feel the warmth and the meaning of life.

Her fingertips gently touched her fair neck. When she went out today, she did not wear the necklace that Quan gave her, but... now she wanted to wear that necklace.

"Only in this way can Izumi and I stay together."

Every minute and second of separation from Izumi made Nagasaki Shoyo feel lonely. In her heart, the only thing she thought of was Izumi.

Quan, who was walking on the way home, stopped and looked back at the Roppongi Apartments behind him. He couldn't help but frowned slightly. He just felt like he was being stared at by something, which made him very concerned.

"An illusion, huh?"

He looked at the green plants on both sides of the street, but didn't see any people. He slowly withdrew his gaze and took the tram back to his residential area.

After opening the door, I saw Aiyin lying on the sofa, motionless.

"I am back."

"Go prepare dinner, I'm hungry."

Aiyin, who was lying on the sofa with her face buried in the sofa, made a dull sound, while Quan walked to the side of Aiyin, looking at her white legs lying across the sofa, and then looking at her posture lying on the sofa.

"Don't you feel any tightness in your chest? Just a little bit..."

His eyes stayed on her back, looking at Aine lying on the sofa without moving much, a trace of emotion emerged in Quan's eyes, and then he did not disturb Aine who was resting on the sofa, and slowly walked to the refrigerator, looking at the ingredients specially prepared by Mrs. Chihaya before going out, Quan also began to prepare dinner for the two of them.

Listening to the movement at the kitchen counter, Aiyin, who was lying on her stomach, slowly raised her head, glanced at Quan who was busy, and then slowly lowered her head and sank back down on the sofa.

"Did you go shopping with Gao Song today?"

While preparing dinner, Izumi glanced at Aine who was lying on the sofa and chatted with her about what happened today.

"Ah."

Aine waited at home alone for an hour before Izumi came back. She was in a very bad mood at the moment, but when she heard Izumi's question, she still subconsciously opened her mouth to answer.

"It must be Shuangshi who told him. Is she with Shuangshi again today?"

When she heard Quan's question, a series of things came to her mind. Her already depressed mood became even more dissatisfied, both with Quan and with herself.

There were only two people at home, but Quan did not act perfunctorily. Instead, he carefully prepared dinner for them.

It was not until she sat down at the dining table that Chihaya Aine calmed down her emotions. Her eyes slowly fell on Izumi. After staring at her for a while, she turned her attention to the dinner in front of her and quietly started to eat it.

Compared to previous times when the parents were both present, the atmosphere at the dinner table tonight seemed a little quiet. The two of them sat at the table and just enjoyed their own dinner, neither of them taking the initiative to speak.

"Let me clean it up."

When dinner was over, Izumi stood up and began to clean up the mess on the table. Chihaya Aine looked at the busy Izumi, hesitated for a moment, and helped Izumi clean up.

Seeing Aine coming to his side and helping him to tidy up the table, Quan was somewhat surprised. He smiled and helped her tidy up the table.

……

"What did you do today when you were with Shuangshi?"

There was no one else at home, and he didn't want to go back to his room too early. Since there was nothing to do in the room, Aiyin sat down on the sofa in the living room again and asked Quan about what happened between him and Shuangshi today.

Although he spoke casually, his eyes were looking towards Quan intentionally or unintentionally.

"We visited the art gallery, then went shopping together and made some preparations for the seaside vacation."

"Eh~I see..."

After hearing Izumi's answer, Aine hummed softly, then retracted her gaze. She lay on the sofa, her eyes constantly wandering around the living room, wanting to say something to Izumi, but she found that she didn't seem to have any topics to discuss with Izumi.

"Oh, by the way, I went home with Deng today and met her parents. I talked to them about the vacation. Her parents seemed to have no problem with it, but Deng herself was still a little hesitant."

There was nothing much to talk about with Izumi about her own affairs, so Chihaya Aine thought about the people around her. After she went shopping with Takamatsu Deng today, she also accompanied Takamatsu Deng to Takamatsu's house, met Takamatsu Deng's parents, and talked about their vacation at the beach.

"Huh? Is that so?"

After hearing what Aine said, Izumi poured two cups of tea and sat down next to her. After putting down the cups, he replied softly.

"Don't you know why she hesitated?"

"Ms. Takamatsu and I—"

"The light is enough. There's no one else here right now. It feels weird to hear you address me as 'Ms. Takamatsu' or 'Ms. Toyokawa'."

Chihaya Aine, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but frown. On the one hand, she felt uncomfortable with such a name, and on the other hand, she felt that such a name made her feel distant from Izumi.

"I haven't met her many times. I just learned some things from Shuangshi and Xiangzi, so I was able to give you some advice before. But she probably has her own reasons for hesitating this time. I can't guess what she's thinking. Didn't you ask her?"

"I did ask. She seemed to have some ideas, but she also seemed to be worried about something...you..."

Aine's gaze fell on Izumi, and after staying there for a moment, she slowly withdrew her gaze.

"If Deng doesn't go, Li Xi won't go either. Then, there will only be you, me, and Shuangshi, right?"

Considering the relationship between Izumi and Soushi, Chihaya Aine felt that if Takamatsu Deng refused, she would most likely be isolated. She suddenly became anxious and her eyes stayed firmly on Izumi, waiting for her answer.

"Isn't there still one mile to go? She will definitely be willing to go."

"Well……"

She glanced at Izumi with a subtle look. She was very curious about how Izumi came up with the idea of ​​inviting Goto Ichiri to go together. She could still tolerate it for the time being, but if Goto Ichiri saw Izumi and Nagasaki Soyo together, she would be worried that there would be one or two more corpses floating in the sea with unclear faces the next day.

“There shouldn’t be any sharks there, right?”

After a pause, Aine looked at Izumi and asked softly.

"Ok?"

Her question made Quan stunned for a moment, then he shook his head.

"There are no sharks in that area, why are you suddenly asking this?"

"nothing."

Seeing Aine who was obviously hiding something, Izumi slowly stood up from her seat and walked towards the bathroom.

"Would you like to take a bath together?"

"..."

In response, Chihaya Aine just looked at Izumi with disdain and did not give any answer.

Izumi, who had already walked to the bathroom door, chuckled, pushed open the door, and went into the bathroom alone. Aine, who stayed in the living room, thought for a moment, then took the initiative to contact Takamatsu Deng, trying to persuade her again to go on vacation together during the summer break.

She also has a lot of things she wants to do, like staying together at night, playing pillow fights, and playing games like truth or dare...

At night, after taking a shower, Aiyin returned to her room. As soon as she lay down on her bed, she felt inexplicably guilty and complicated.

"Today, Dad and Mom are not at home... Are Izumi and I the only ones at home?"

The last time it was just her and Izumi at home, she had already forgotten when it happened. Lying quietly on her bed, she stared at the ceiling with a somewhat lonely look on her face.

I was in a trance and thought about my childhood, my childhood with Quan, and then I thought about how Quan and I have grown up now, and how our relationship seems to have become strange. Obviously many things have not changed, but it seems like everything has changed.

"No, Izumi, it seems like he hasn't changed at all..."

After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that only Quan's changes were the smallest, and only when she was with Quan could she feel the unchanging sense of security.

"But things are changing now... Izumi has started dating a girl and will have his own family in the future. I... can't possibly live with his family."
