I have pure love with them

After a brief silence, Aine, who was hugging Izumi, spoke softly.

Her hesitant and intermittent speech made Quan wonder what she wanted to ask for a moment. Being hugged by her, it was not convenient for him to turn around to see the expression on her face.

Chihaya Aine pursed her lips tightly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Do……"

"Have you done it?"

Quiet.

The room fell into silence.

After asking the question that concerned her deeply, Chihaya Aine noticed that her body became stiff, and she didn't dare to move until Izumi opened his mouth to give an answer.

Even Izumi didn't expect Aine to ask such a question.

The trembling voice allowed Quan to feel the strong shame in his sister's heart when she asked this question.

According to Quan's previous series of actions, we can basically analyze the development of the relationship between Quan and Nagasaki Shoyo...

"Are you asking even though you already know the answer? Or is there some other reason?"

Faced with Aine's sudden question, even Quan fell into a brief silence. He didn't understand why Aine asked this question, but after thinking about it carefully, he still gave his answer.

"Ah."

Affirmative answer.

"..."

A sudden feeling of panic arose in her heart, and Chihaya Aine felt that her mind was blank. She opened her lips blankly, and then opened and closed them silently.

“Ah… um… yes, that’s how it is…”

It took her a while to adjust her mood, but Chihaya Aine, who had regained her ability to think, couldn't tell what her mood was for a moment. After answering in a daze, she slowly loosened her arms around Izumi, then stepped back little by little, keeping a distance from Izumi.

"That's great... Well, I'm going back to my room first."

She left a word and left Quan's room in a panic without waiting for Quan to answer, leaving Quan sitting in front of the computer, his eyes slowly looking towards the door.

The door wasn't even closed for him.

"It seems that this caused her quite a shock... Was her reaction so great?"

Even though I knew that Aine was always pure in this regard, I didn’t expect her to be so innocent that she would have such a strong reaction just after hearing his affirmative answer.

"Although her reaction was a bit exaggerated, she should be able to calm down quickly once she returns to her room."

No matter how innocent she is, Aine is already a high school student. She already knew some things that she should know. It was only because of Izumi's special identity that she had such a big reaction.

However, she asked this question without being mentally prepared, which made Quan feel a little...

He chuckled, curious about what excuse she would use during dinner later when her parents noticed something was wrong with her.

381. Aiyin: So it’s all because of me?

Chihaya Aine returned to her room and lay down on her bed alone. Her cheeks, which were originally flushed due to shyness, now began to feel slightly hot. She bit her lips tightly, clutched the quilt tightly, and buried her face deeply in it. The waves in her heart were difficult to calm down for a long time.

The words she had asked Quan and the answers he had given her kept replaying in her mind until her mind was completely desensitized, and she slowly revealed her face from under the quilt.

The soft white teeth bit the smooth lips, but it was still difficult for the girl to imagine the intimate scene between her brother and Nagasaki Souse.

"..."

Why do I ask such a strange question?

Chihaya Aine couldn't help but question herself in her heart, but when she recalled the intimate scene between Izumi and Nagasaki Soushi before, she felt a strong sense of...jealousy in her heart.

She didn't want to admit that she had such ugly emotions, but... when she thought about her brother, who had lived with her since childhood and always put her first in everything, and would consider other women more in the future, Chihaya Aine resisted from the bottom of her heart.

Even though she had thought about Izumi having a girlfriend more than once before, she had never really faced these things in her heart. She always comforted herself and stopped thinking about them until the day when Nagasaki Soushi came to stay overnight at her house...

“I couldn’t help it.”

Chihaya Aine whispered softly as she opened her eyes and looked at the white wall.

"I have already...done it..."

A feeling of powerlessness arose from the depths of Chihaya Aine's heart. She bit her lips, and her eyes lost their usual vitality and agility. Her mood fell to the bottom, and she felt as if everything in this world was no longer so important.

If they were just dating, then it wouldn't be a big deal in Chihaya Aine's heart. Even couples who were dating would break up sooner or later. But... if it had come to that point, it would be difficult for Chihaya Aine to treat Nagasaki Soyo as an outsider.

"...Now her relationship with Izumi is close to that of a family...If she gets pregnant with Izumi's child, then she and Izumi will form a new family."

Even the current Nagasaki Sōyo and Izumi haven't even gotten married and haven't obtained a marriage certificate, but didn't she and Izumi also not obtain any family certificate?

The more she thought about the relationship between Nagasaki Soushi and Izumi, the more Chihaya Aine felt that her relationship with Izumi was pale and powerless. Her original confidence in her identity as a "sister" suddenly shattered after hearing Izumi's "hmm".

"What am I... to Izumi?"

Just when Chihaya Aine was deeply depressed and unable to extricate herself, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by Izumi's gentle voice.

"Dinner is ready, it's time to go down and eat."

"..."

I'm not in the mood and don't want to go down.

Chihaya Aine was lying on the bed, her body slightly turned sideways, her eyes tilted towards the door. She couldn't help but sigh and pursed her lips. She felt that her life had become gloomy. She didn't want to stay at home anymore. She wanted to leave this place and go abroad again.

"If I go abroad, will Quan be worried about me... and accompany me abroad? If I live abroad with Quan, can I avoid Shuangshi..."

A strange thought came to her mind, but when she thought of her last failed study abroad experience, she couldn't help but sigh.

But because it seemed very feasible, she comforted her for the time being so that she did not remain silent. Facing Quan's notice, she responded softly, letting Quan go down first while she waited for a while.

"Then I'll go down first."

The gentle voice coming from the door made Chihaya Aine, who was lying on the bed, think about the question: 'How long can he keep notifying me every day like this? After he gets married, will I no longer be able to hear it?'

The sound of the departing footsteps made Chihaya Aine, who was lying down, sit up involuntarily. Looking at her dim room, she slowly moved her body and came to the edge of the bed. She stretched out her slender white legs and stepped on her slippers. She glanced at the scenery outside the window.

In the twilight, it was already dim outside the window.

'Go down.'

Chihaya Aine, who was in a bad mood, walked out of her room slowly, came to the living room, and sat down at the dining table.

Seeing their listless daughter, as Izumi had expected, this attracted the attention of the Chihaya couple, but considering that she had been in a low mood quite frequently during this period, the two did not ask directly, but observed Izumi's reaction.

"He doesn't seem to be very worried. It seems that it is not a serious matter. Let's not worry about it and let the child solve it himself."

If Izumi also had a depressed and worried expression on her face, the couple would need to ask more questions, but since Izumi was not worried, it was not the turn of the Chihaya couple as parents to worry.

In the Chihaya family, when their daughter Chihaya Aine encounters any problems, it is definitely Chihaya Izumi, as her brother, who is most worried.

The couple looked at each other quietly and remained silent tacitly.

The atmosphere at the dining table was very quiet, but that was also the norm in Chihaya's home. After dinner, Izumi helped her mother clean up, while Chihaya Aine went back to her room first.

After Chihaya Aine left, Mrs. Chihaya's eyes fell on her son and she casually asked about her daughter's situation.

“Is Aine okay?”

Previously, her daughter was in front of her, but now that her daughter had left the living room, Mrs. Chihaya, out of curiosity, still asked Izumi out of concern.

"It's nothing, just a little emotional, just calm down a bit."

"Little emotions?"

Facing his mother's curious gaze, Izumi just smiled and did not give too much explanation. Mrs. Chihaya stared at her son for a while, thinking that it was just a small matter, so she did not ask more questions and instead talked to him about the arrangements for this summer vacation.

I had already agreed to go to the countryside, and I asked him when he was going to go.

Izumi, who had just made a plan in his room, also gave his answer. Hearing that Izumi had not forgotten about this, Mr. Chihaya, who was lying on the sofa in the living room, had a satisfied expression on his face, while Mrs. Chihaya said that if Izumi could not stay in the countryside, he could come back earlier.

"If you don't feel comfortable in the countryside, there's no need to force yourself. Staying for two or three days is enough."

"Ah."

Quan also accepted his mother's kindness.

……

When he walked back to the door of the room, Quan's hand fell on the door, but he stopped and looked towards Aine's room.

'She should be in her own room, right?'

Considering the previous situation, he didn't think Aine would enter his room. If he didn't react, she would probably not take the initiative to pay attention to him for a long time.

'What do you want to do?'

Thinking back to the time at the dining table just now, even though Aine was sitting next to him, she just ate her dinner quietly and didn't cast her eyes on him. She seemed to be in a very low mood, which made Izumi, who was standing in front of the room door, hesitate for a moment.

But after only a moment's hesitation, he withdrew his hand from the door, then slowly walked to the door of Aine's room and knocked gently on her door.

Aine had returned to the room but didn’t want to lie down on the bed to rest. She was now sitting quietly on the bench, like a doll, with her face tilted upwards, staring at the ceiling of the room, her eyes looking somewhat empty.

Boom, boom——

The rhythmic knocking on the door came when she was wondering whether it would be Izumi or Haruhi Shadow at the end of the universe. It made her temporarily stop her wandering thoughts, and she slowly lowered her head and looked towards the door.

'spring.'

There weren't many people at home who would come to see her at this time, and the only one who would knock on the door in such a rhythmic manner was Quan.

"Why does he come to see me at this time..."

Thinking of the question she had asked Izumi before, and now that Izumi suddenly found her, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart, and she couldn't help but purse her lips.

While I felt happy, I was also a little nervous.

"In the room?"

Seeing no response from Aine for a long time, Izumi, who was standing at the door, asked a question towards the room.

"..."

Chihaya Aine was sitting silently on the bench. After hearing Izumi's question, she hesitated for a moment, then slowly stood up, walked to the door of the room, and opened her door.

When the tightly closed door in front of him opened and his sister's figure appeared in front of him, Quan, who was about to knock on the door again, slowly put down his raised hand.

"what's up?"

Chihaya Aine, who was originally feeling a little nervous and depressed, calmed down immediately after seeing Izumi arriving at the door. However, the slight jealousy in her heart still made her puff up her right cheek in dissatisfaction, and stare at Izumi in front of her with a cold gaze.
