My sight first turned to Quan's room.

Looking at Quan's tightly closed door, her frown relaxed a little, but she was still a little concerned. She walked slowly towards Quan's room. When she arrived at the door of the room, she stopped and tried to put her ear to the door to listen to the movement inside the room.

But before she could lean over to the door, she heard light and steady footsteps at the stairs, which made Chihaya Aine stunned for a moment and her heart instantly tensed.

"Go back? It seems too late. The sound of footsteps will also attract the attention of the other party..."

Her eyes fell on Quan's door. If she opened the door and entered Quan's room, she would be noticed. She stood there with a subtle mood. Then a tiny white light from the stairs shone towards her.

378. Xishan: I just want my sister to have a happy family

Nagasaki Souyo was walking on the stairs, preparing to return to his room, but he did not expect that a humanoid creature would suddenly appear on his way back to the room. His light pink pajamas looked pale under the light of the mobile phone, which made Nagasaki Souyo open his eyes wide in an instant.

Her lips opened slightly, and at the moment when she was about to speak, she noticed that the other person seemed to be Chihaya Aine. She suppressed her uneasiness, bit her lips tightly, and looked at the girl in front of her with a puzzled look.

“Aine?”

"..."

The moment she was illuminated by the light, not only Nagasaki Soyo, but Chihaya Aine also felt a skip in her heart and her heartbeat slowed down. It was not until she heard the other party call out her name that she controlled her delicate emotions and slowly looked towards the girl standing on the stairs.

"M-morning... no, um... good evening?"

"Why did you appear at the door of Izumi's room, Aine...did you have something to ask him?"

"..."

After a moment's pause, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but look back at the door beside her, and then looked at Nagasaki Soyo standing on the stairs. She opened her mouth, her feelings at this moment were very complicated.

She was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night and found that Nagasaki Soyo was not resting beside her. She became suspicious of Nagasaki Soyo and left her room, intending to inquire about the situation at the door of Izumi's room. Unexpectedly, Nagasaki Soyo was not in Izumi's room. Instead, she was caught by Nagasaki Soyo, as if she was the one with "ulterior motives".

The change in identity and stance made Chihaya Aine couldn't help but grin, revealing a somewhat awkward smile.

"No... Well, when I woke up, I found that you were not in the room... So, I was a little worried and came out to check. Um, did you go to the bathroom?"

Looking at Nagasaki Soyo in front of her, Chihaya Aine adjusted her mood slightly, and slowly stood up straight. She looked at Nagasaki Soyo in front of her with curiosity, suppressing her inner embarrassment and shame. She asked Nagasaki Soyo in front of her as if nothing had happened.

"Ah."

After hearing Chihaya Aine's question, Nagasaki Shoyo nodded slightly, but when he looked at Chihaya Aine, he still felt a little doubtful. He felt that the other party's thoughts... or actions, should not be as simple as she said.

His eyes couldn't help but look towards Izumi's room. After staring at it for a while, Nagasaki Shoyo seemed to understand something in his heart, and looked at Chihaya Aine in front of him with strange eyes.

"..."

She felt that Chihaya Aine in front of her must have suspected that she had secretly gone to find Izumi after leaving the room, so she was standing secretly at the door of Izumi's room.

Although she originally had such thoughts in her mind, but... considering that she was at Chihaya's house, and Izumi's parents were still at home, and she was living in the same room with Chihaya Aine, no matter which factor, as long as it was discovered, it would cause a very bad impact, so she suppressed this idea in her heart, but she didn't expect that she would actually be suspected by Chihaya Aine.

Nagasaki Soyo pursed his lips, guessed what Chihaya Aine was thinking, but didn't want to bring it up in front of her. He just smiled and walked slowly to the girl.

“Aine, do you want to go to the bathroom?”

"…Well, no need, let's go back and rest."

Feeling embarrassed, Chihaya Aine didn't have the courage to ask Nagasaki Soushi why she didn't turn on the lights. She returned to the room with Nagasaki Soushi, and the two of them lay down on the bed together as before.

Although they lay down, both of them had mixed emotions and found it difficult to fall asleep for a while. They just lay on the bed with half-open eyes, thinking about their own things.

Although they both had many questions to ask each other, they were still worried and after a while of silence, they fell asleep slowly due to the gradual onset of sleepiness.

……

"Last night, I asked my sister to watch the show with me."

"Huh? Oh."

Izumi did not meet Toyokawa Shoko, Nagasaki Soyo, and his sister who were going to school. After arriving at the school stop, he said goodbye to them and went to school alone.

Just as he walked to his seat, Hiroto Shioyama, who had arrived in the classroom before him, couldn't help but turn around and chat with him about the show.

At this moment, Izumi was still thinking about what it would be like if Nagasaki Soyo met Toyokawa Shoko at school. When she heard Hiroto Shioyama's voice, she temporarily stopped her imagination. Then her eyes fell on Hiroto Shioyama, she recalled what the other person had just said, and responded.

"...Is your reaction too cold?"

Hiroto Shioyama looked at Izumi, who sat down quietly without changing his expression, and felt a little disappointed.

"…Then, how do you think I should react?"

"Aren't you curious about her reaction when she saw you on the show?"

After hearing what Hiroto Shioyama said, a subtle expression appeared on Izumi's face. His question was so blunt that it was difficult for Izumi not to be aware of the other party's thoughts.

"Do you really want anything to happen between me and your sister?"

Pointing at himself, Quan looked at Hiroto Shioyama with a subtle look.

"I'm much younger than she is. Do you think your sister would like someone younger than her?"

But in response to Quan's question, Hiroto Shioyama nodded seriously and revealed a meaningful smile.

"How do you know she doesn't like younger people? She wasn't very interested in the show I mentioned, but after hearing that you would be on stage and would give a wonderful performance, she sat down on the sofa in the living room, drank beer, and watched all the scenes of your appearance carefully."

Recalling his encounter with Shioyama Ryone, Izumi had a puzzled expression on his face when he heard Shioyama Hiroto's words.

He and Shioyama Ryone had some contact when they were preparing souvenirs for the Goto family visit, and then they had some contact when the siblings had a misunderstanding. In total, they had only two contacts, and yet the other party became interested in him?

Not too possible.

"It does sound like you're somewhat interested in me, but is it just curiosity about your brother's friend?"

Hiroto Shioyama was silent for a moment, as if he could understand it this way.

But for the sake of a more relaxed and happy future, Hiroto Shioyama still went against his conscience and said some embellished content based on some facts.

"In fact, it wasn't just yesterday. In fact, she often asks about you in her daily life, asking how I get along with you, and often asking if she should prepare some snacks for me to bring to school."

Seeing Hiroto Shioyama putting his hand on his shoulder with a smiling face, Quan still had some doubts about his words.

379. Absolute genius, the resulting arrogance, taught him humility

"I'll ask later."

"..."

The smile froze on Hiroto Shioyama's face. No matter how hard he thought, he never expected that Quan would give such an answer.

If Izumi really goes to ask Shioyama Ryone...

The tortures in human history emerged in Hiroto Shioyama's mind. Then, looking at Izumi in front of him, he slowly put away the smile on his face and raised his finger.

"Ramen, it's my treat."

As his words fell, a faint smile appeared on Quan's face.

"Come to think of it, I don't seem to have her contact information. That's great."

“Yeah…Ahaha, ha…”

After hearing what Izumi said, Hiroto Shioyama could only helplessly and awkwardly agree with a few laughs, then he sighed and withdrew his gaze, deciding to talk less about his sister with Izumi in the future. Izumi looked at Hiroto Shioyama who withdrew his gaze, and the figure of Ryone Shioyama appeared in his mind.

'Her figure is indeed very similar to what Aine looked like when she was a child...but her temperament is completely different. Even if she puts on makeup, it's hard to have the simple and cute feeling that Aine had when she was a child.'

When thinking of Shioyama Ryoune, Izumi first thought of her pink hair, and then her petite figure, which reminded him of what his sister looked like when she was a child.

"Come to think of it, I took a lot of photos of Aine back then, I can look through them and reminisce when I get back."

Izumi propped up her cheek with one hand, a thoughtful expression on her face. She looked at the sky and birds flying outside the window, and recalled the childhood memories of herself and Aine...

"The matter has been completely settled. How are you going to deal with the store? You won't choose to deal with it yourself, right?"

Ms. Nagasaki seemed to be very worried about the fact that her daughter spent the night in Izumi yesterday. In addition, she made an appointment with Izumi to meet shortly after school today, at a cafe not far from Izumi's school.

With his eyes lowered and staring at the coffee in front of him, Quan did not rush to answer Ms. Nagasaki's question, but remained silent for a moment, as if thinking.

"Did you encounter any trouble during the process?"

After a brief thought, Izumi, who had lowered his head, raised his face, cast his gaze on Ms. Nagasaki's face, and asked softly.

Ms. Nagasaki added some sugar cubes to the cup and gently shook it with a spoon. When she heard Quan's question, a faint smile appeared on her face.

"What kind of trouble do you think it will be?"

"..."

I originally wanted to talk about the age issue, but Quan felt that this topic might be a little sensitive for Ms. Nagasaki, so he simply skipped the topic and then expressed his thoughts.

"Ask an acquaintance to help manage it. It's not convenient for me to come forward, but if he comes forward, there probably won't be any big problems."

"agent?"

After hearing what Quan said, Ms. Nagasaki couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

"That's about it."

Ms. Nagasaki stopped what she was doing and looked at Izumi. She was not particularly interested in the matters of that store. The main reason for coming to see Izumi today was because of her daughter who stayed overnight at Chihaya's house yesterday.

"Shuangshi, she didn't disturb your parents, did she?"

implicit.

Ms. Nagasaki clearly wanted to ask Quan's parents what they thought of Shuangshi, but she didn't know how to ask directly. So she used a tactful way to ask the question that was on her mind, and Quan had to think about it for a moment before he understood the meaning of her words.

"No, she's very welcome."

Both Izumi's father and his mother welcomed Nagasaki Soushi's arrival and were very supportive of Izumi and Nagasaki Soushi's relationship.

If they were not old enough, his father would have asked Quan, "How long have you been dating? Have you considered getting married this year?" This is a common example of urging him to get married.

"The child should have pink hair, right? Will he look a bit like Aine when she was young?"

A somewhat strange thought came to Quan's mind, and out of curiosity, he suddenly had the impulse to try to have a child.

But fortunately, he was a rational person and he suppressed the thought soon after it appeared.

"So, when will Izumi come to our house to spend the night? I'm usually not at home, so if nothing unexpected happens, we'll be alone together. We can see the unique night view of Minato and Roppongi at night. It's very beautiful."

After hearing that Izumi's parents welcomed Nagasaki Soyo's arrival, Ms. Nagasaki had the answer in her heart and a faint smile appeared on her face. While she was thinking about when to meet Izumi's parents, she did not forget to tease the boy in front of her.

The Nagasaki family's apartment is very large and luxurious, with the unique atmosphere of a high-end apartment. It is more magnificent than Izumi's apartment. And Izumi, who has seen the daytime scene, can more or less imagine the night view described by Ms. Nagasaki.

Staying overnight is a good thing, but...

He was worried that he would stay overnight at Nagasaki's house, and Ms. Nagasaki rushed home in the middle of the night.
