I have pure love with them

39. I am not a beautiful girl painter

"What? I'm busy every day and don't have much time to waste."

A familiar voice sounded from the headphones. Quan, who was sitting in front of the computer, looked at his sister who appeared on the screen, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"It should be noon where you are now, right? Even if you have a lot of things to do, you shouldn't have no time to rest at noon, right?"

"... Different countries have different situations! Even though it's noon, I still have a lot of things to do, so if there's nothing else to do, I'll just close the video call!"

Sitting in the room, Chihaya Aine, wearing a white sweater, looked at her brother's familiar face. She pursed her lips, knowing that he was observant and worried that he could see her embarrassment. She couldn't help but feel anxious and wanted to end the video call between the two as soon as possible.

"A room for two. Is your roommate not here?"

"…What's wrong? Why are you suddenly concerned about these things? She's not here right now, and she doesn't like boys like you, so don't even think about asking me to introduce you to someone."

When Izumi asked about her roommate, Chihaya Aine suddenly became alert. She had an average relationship with her roommate and they didn't have any particularly in-depth communication. Chihaya Aine didn't want Izumi to know that she didn't get along well with her roommate, so she decisively blocked Izumi from speaking and stared at Izumi in the video with a dissatisfied expression.

"Can't you tell me your name?"

"no!"

While rejecting Izumi with righteous words, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

"What's her name... her last name is too long... I can't remember it at all!"

Looking at Chihaya Aine whose eyes were wandering, Izumi, who was sitting in her room, could tell that she was hiding something, and it seemed that she and her roommates did not get along very well.

"At that time, if you agreed to come here with me to study, you wouldn't need me to introduce you, you could ask her in person. Now you and her are separated by half a world, and you can't even meet each other. What's the point of knowing?"

In Chihaya Aine's heart, she still has some resentment about her brother's refusal to study abroad here with her.

"Although I can meet beautiful blonde girls, the eating habits and daily living customs there are very different from the environment I grew up in. Even the laws are different. I find it difficult to adapt to such a strange country. I remember that the shops in your place close very early, right?"

"..."

"When was the last time you saw Rice?"

"..."

Chihaya Aine already had regrets in her heart. She thought she could easily integrate into the unfamiliar environment, but she never expected the difference would be so huge.

Although she didn't want to admit it, her brother Quan considered all aspects much more comprehensively than she did, and his judgment was also very rational, but -

"You won't make any progress if you live in your comfort zone! I have been greatly honed in all aspects here!"

“But it’s comfortable in the comfort zone.”

"……hateful!"

"If the purpose is to prepare for admission to a local university, then there is nothing wrong with studying in a high school abroad, but I don't have any plans in this regard."

Looking at his sister on the screen, Quan gave his answer and then fell silent.

"I……"

After listening to what Izumi said, Chihaya Aine wanted to be tough and declare that she wanted to enter the local university, but seeing Izumi suddenly fall silent, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"what happened to you?"

"No, nothing. I just think that if you were studying in high school in China, you would have the opportunity to meet your former classmates and let them know how outstanding you are. But now you are abroad and you can't even meet them. Don't you think it's a pity?"

Izumi felt a little disappointed that he couldn't reach his sister on the screen, but when Chihaya Aine expressed her concern, he smiled and teased Aine.

"I didn't go abroad to study for them... I just... yes! I just wanted to improve myself!"

Chihaya Aine is still being stubborn and obviously won't admit her mistake in studying abroad. In front of Izumi, she still maintains the tone of a 'progressive girl' and is unwilling to give in.

"I have other things to do. I don't want to chat with you anymore. If you have anything, just email me! Bye!"

Without waiting for Quan to speak, Chihaya Aine closed the video call, leaving Quan sitting in front of the computer, looking at the dark call interface.

"..."

He casually closed the chat software that he was using to talk to Chihaya Aine. He watched ten episodes of Teletubbies before he could get over the pain of his sister closing the video first.

"You're not ready to come back yet? But it feels like you're just being reluctant to come back... It's really a headache."

After sitting in front of the computer for a while, Izumi stood up and went to Aine's room.

Looking at the empty room, he slowly walked to the desk and gently placed his hands on the table, stroking the smooth surface, and recalled the scene when he once sat in the room and tutored Aine.

“You’ve grown up already…Aine.”

I sighed softly, and when I returned to my room, I found an unread text message on my phone.

He thought it was Tokinoya Shun whom he had met at night, but after clicking on it, he found out it was Goto Ichiri, who sent him a video of playing the guitar.

"Come to think of it, I've already told her that I recognized her identity... so you sent me this?"

After clicking on it and watching her performance, I found that it is a very popular song at the moment and I think a lot of people will watch it if I release it.

"You played very well. I think you'll get a lot of likes."

Goto Ichiri is unable to communicate normally with others, mainly because she does not have enough self-confidence, so when facing Goto Ichiri, Izumi mainly praises her in order to boost her self-confidence, hoping that she will be able to look him in the eye one day.

"I think Chihaya's performance is also very good, so, Chihaya, have you ever thought about opening your own channel?"

It was rare to see Goto Ichiri send a long text. After Aine hung up the video, Izumi felt listless. He lay down on his bed, looking at the text message sent by Goto Ichiri, and thought for a while.

He currently has a normal social media account to share some of his painting results, but there is really no involvement in videos.

Mainly, as an artist, his gender is marked as 'male', and generally no one would pay attention to an artist who is not a beautiful girl. But in terms of videos, he does not want to reveal too much about himself on the Internet, so he might try to learn from Goto Ichiri and not show his face.

"Buy a cute doll costume, then violently tear off the arms, play nursery rhymes first, and death metal in the middle. It should be very impactful and attract a lot of audiences, right?"

40. You can live in my house

"Chihaya-kun."

When there was nothing to do after class, Quan was sitting at his desk, carefully folding a paper shark using paper torn from his notebook.

"Chihaya-kun?"

"Yes, if you have anything to say, just tell me, squad leader."

Looking at Izumi who didn't even raise her head, Xuanji Ci couldn't help but feel complicated. She felt that Chihaya Izumi was very peaceful towards other classmates in the class, but when facing her, her attitude made people feel a little cold.

"Nothing special, just something about the student council that I talked about last time with Chihaya-kun."

"Hasn't that already been rejected?"

After folding the paper shark, Izumi placed it on his desk, then raised his head and looked at Akatsuki Koji who was standing beside his desk.

The quiet and dignified beautiful girl class monitor was looking at him with a complicated and tangled look.

"Yes... Currently, I have joined the student council, but there are very few students willing to join the student council this year. After the third-year seniors have retired, there are still a large number of vacancies. I would like to try to invite Chihaya to join the student council again."

Xuanji Ci pursed her lips and looked at the boy in front of her.

After learning that she had made great achievements in the student union in middle school, and that the work of the student union was currently difficult to carry out, Akatsuki Ci once again thought of inviting her and took action at this moment.

"Chihaya-kun, you have joined the student council in middle school. You have experience that others don't have, so I think Chihaya-kun will definitely be able to handle the work of the student council."

The sincere attitude and tone were very different from before.

Izumi looked into the eyes of Akatsuji Ci, not knowing what the other party had experienced before joining the student union, but no matter how sincere the other party's attitude was, Izumi had no interest in this regard.

"It is precisely because I joined the student council in middle school that I wanted to fully experience the youth that comes only once in a lifetime during high school. So, unfortunately, I still gave the same answer to Ayatsuji-san's invitation."

Looking at Izumi who was not shaken at all, Ayatsuji Ci realized that her invitation would not be fruitless. After a moment of silence, she smiled and expressed her understanding.

"I understand, but...if Chihaya-kun ever changes his mind, the student council will be open to you."

"..."

Xuanji Ci turned and left. Quan looked at her slim back and picked up the paper shark on the table.

"Ah woo~"

……

"Aren't you going to 'RiNG' today?"

In the afternoon, after school, Izumi did not go to 'RiNG' with Goto Ichiri, which made Goto Ichiri, who had already taken out his savings from his piggy bank, stunned.

"Well, the equipment and environment of 'RiNG' are very good, but it's still too expensive to go there often. Usually, bands go there as a group. For example, there are only two of us. Even if we split the cost, each person has to pay 1,000 yen an hour. So, since we don't have much income, it's more appropriate to go there occasionally."

Izumi, who was walking with Goto Ichiri, explained to her why she didn't go to 'RiNG' after hearing what Goto Ichiri said.

He himself had enough savings to go to 'RiNG' every day, but Goto Ichiri's financial resources were very limited. He could pay Goto Ichiri's share, but if he did so, it would easily put pressure on Goto Ichiri and make her feel indebted.

Once a sense of indebtedness arises, the current obvious timidity will probably become more serious.

Izumi did not want to destroy Goto Ichiri's personality or PUA her thoughts.

Therefore, not going to 'RiNG' for the time being is a better choice for the two of them to get along. He plans to take Goto Ichiri to 'STARRY'. If he lets her and Hongxia meet and become friends, it will have a significant impact on changing Goto Ichiri's character.

He personally felt that it was a bit of a stretch to rely on Quan alone.

"Then... where are we going?"

Knowing that not going to 'RiNG' was related to expenses, Goto Ichiri started to get nervous, fearing that Izumi would say the word 'part-time job'.

"I can do anything, but part-time work... only part-time work..."

Goto Ichiri couldn't help but lower her head and started staring at the ground, looking for a gap where she could hide.

"A live house I found not long ago, usually opens at 5pm, but occasionally opens earlier."

"Five, five?"

After hearing the opening time, Goto Ichiri felt a little conflicted. She would have to go home around 7 o'clock. If she stayed for an hour, she would not be able to get home until 8 o'clock in the evening. The disadvantages of being too far away from home became apparent at this moment.

"If you miss the train, you can stay at my house."

“Eh? Eh? Eh?!!”

Goto Ichiri stopped and stared at Izumi blankly.

"Chi-Chihaya-san's house?!"

Noticing that Goto Ichiri stopped, Izumi turned around to look at the girl carrying the guitar and smiled at her.

"My sister is studying abroad, so her room is empty. If Goto-san doesn't mind, you can stay at my house. It would be troublesome to commute two hours every day, right? Besides, my parents will be home at night, so there's no need to worry."

Looking at Izumi who didn't seem to be joking, Goto Ichiri was completely stunned.
