I have pure love with them

After hearing what Izumi said, Mikazuki Yozora was stunned for a moment and looked at Izumi with strange eyes. She thought that with Izumi's troublesome personality, she would go to the same school as Izumi, but she didn't expect that the two of them would be in different schools.

"A lot of things happened, there were some hidden secrets, so she and I didn't go to the same school."

Thinking about Aine's failure in studying abroad and her subsequent experience in Hanedaoka, given her personality, she probably wouldn't want Mikazuki Yozora to know about it, so Izumi didn't explain it to her in detail. However, Izumi's cryptic explanation made Mikazuki Yozora think more about it.

"We are not in the same school... We are separated... We are separated... Could it be that..."

A bold guess emerged in Mikazuki Yozora's mind. She looked at Izumi cautiously, and found that the other party remained silent. Mikazuki Yozora couldn't help but pursed her lips.

She was worried that her casual words would irritate Quan.

"how long?"

After thinking for a while, Mikazuki Yozora asked about the duration of his stay in Gifu in order to avoid mentioning Izumi's "sad story".

"A week."

If Mikazuki Yozora had already moved away, Izumi probably wouldn't have been interested in staying here for a week, but his original friends were still here, so Izumi took the opportunity to extend his time.

"..."

I didn't think that Izumi would stay in Mikazuki Yozora in Gifu for a long time. After hearing that Izumi would only stay for a week, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in my heart.

The atmosphere in the living room became quiet for a moment, and Quan was looking at the crescent moon in the night sky in front of him. He seemed to be in a bad mood, which surprised him a little. He also recalled some things from his childhood. Thinking of the words of the girl in front of him, he had a hint of doubt in his heart.

'Could it be that she still remembers her childhood?'

The mood was a little subtle. He thought about it and felt that it would be better to use a topic to ease the atmosphere.

"Do you have time today?"

"..."

After hearing Quan's question, Mikazuki Yozora's thoughts returned to reality. Looking at Quan in front of her, she thought for a moment. Just as she was about to say, "I don't have time. I have to go shopping with Xiaopeng," she thought of what happened just now. She was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

"If only for a little while..."

"I haven't been back here for a long time, so I'm a little unfamiliar with the surroundings. Could you please take me around and familiarize me with the environment?"

"..."

Faced with Quan's request, Sanriku Yozora didn't have any problem. It was just a little hot outside, but it was rare to see his former friend. Even though he had been "ignored" by the other party for so many years, he came to see him the next day after he came here, and it seemed that some changes had happened at home. After Sanriku Yozora struggled for a moment, he finally agreed.

"……Um."

"Great."

Looking at the gentle smile on Quan's face, Sanriku Yozora couldn't help but turn his head away and groaned softly to cover up his inner panic.

Facing the person he liked when he was a child, after many years, the other person still remembered him and did not behave strangely. These factors made Sanriku Yozora's favorability towards him, which was already high, start to rise again after being dormant for many years.

……

"What did you do today? Was it boring there?"

At night, before Nagasaki Soyo called to ask what Izumi had done today, after Izumi entered the room, Chihaya Aine, her younger sister, contacted Izumi first and asked about her schedule for the day.

Quan, standing in the room, walked slowly to the window, opened it, letting the natural and fresh air enter the room, then turned around and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I walked around and got familiar with the surroundings. I haven't been here for a few years, and a lot of changes have taken place. If you come here, you will probably be surprised."

"I'm not coming."

He had already made up his mind to go to Gifu to meet Aine before Izumi came back. When facing Izumi, he did not tell him, but concealed the matter and prepared to give Izumi a surprise when the time comes.

“Are there any big changes?”

"The small shop is no longer there. The grandmother who owned it has passed away. The land has been sold and is now a pet hospital."

Chihaya Aine, wearing a light nightgown, knelt down and sat on Izumi's bed, a surprised expression on her face and her voice full of disbelief.

"A pet shop? In that place? Isn't there farmland everywhere? Does anyone keep pets there?"

Chihaya Aine's only impression of that area now is the girl with a bad temper and the empty farmland everywhere around it. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as desolate. Now there is a pet hospital there, which makes Chihaya Aine start to wonder when this pet hospital will close.

"Didn't I tell you that there have been big changes? I've taken some photos. I'll send them to you."

"Ok?"

After hearing what Izumi said, Chihaya Aine hesitated for a moment, changed the call to hands-free, then looked at her line, and soon received a photo from Izumi.

In the photo, there is a pet hospital that looks exquisite and fashionable standing on one side of the road. On the other side of the pet hospital is a slope covered with green grass. It looks like it is next to a highway. It still feels a bit sparse and desolate, but compared to Chihaya Aine's childhood memory, there are indeed considerable changes.

"and many more!"

"Ok?"

While looking at the photo, Chihaya Aine's expression suddenly became subtle. She narrowed her eyes, ignored Quan's doubts, slowly enlarged the photo, and then stared at the transparent glass near the entrance of the pet hospital, where she could vaguely see the reflected scene.

In Chihaya Aine's sight, she clearly saw the figure of Izumi, and beside Izumi, there was a figure of a girl who was only half of her size.

Although it was only half, she could be sure from the figure and the clothes that the other person was a girl!

Screenshot.

After forwarding it to Izumi again, Chihaya Aine slowly narrowed her eyes and asked Izumi softly.

"Who is this?"

Izumi, who was in her room, heard the message notification from Line and Aine's question. She slowly clicked on the message she sent and saw the blurry screenshot of the reflection. She couldn't help but fall into silence for a moment.

He found his photo album again, clicked on the picture he sent to Chihaya Aine, and after carefully confirming the location of her screenshot, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

'She can notice such small details. I don't know if it's a girl's intuition or instinct.'

During the moment when Izumi was silent, Chihaya Aine had already frowned and her mood became worse.

"Could it be... that guy?"

The intonation of the question had an indescribable meaning, which made Quan smell as if he smelled vinegar, but also a bit of chili oil.

"Yezora, I went to visit her today and found her at home, so I invited her to hang out with me."

As if it was a trivial matter, Chihaya Aine's frown relaxed slightly, and it sounded as if he had nothing to do with Mikazuki Yozora. However, Aine, who was sitting on Izumi's bed, slowly leaned back on the pillow, her eyes wandering around Izumi's room, and a faint smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Eh~ After so many years, she still remembers you. It feels like she's been waiting for you to come back. Is that okay? She said she wanted to marry you before... Now she's not by your side anymore. Are you going to rekindle your relationship with her?"

Her slender white fingertips tapped lightly on the bed sheet, then drew circles, feeling the silence on the other side of the phone, while her eyes glanced slightly upwards, staring at the roof.

"If Shuangshi knew, he would definitely be very sad, right?"

"..."

Listening to his sister's speech, Quan always felt that she would soon say - 'Brother, you don't want to make her happy...'

I clicked on the recording silently, and after being silent for a moment, I let out a soft sigh.

"Are you trying to use this to cause Shuangshi to misunderstand and use it to blackmail me?"

"Eh? No, I just felt so moved by Quan's reunion with his old friends, so I was thinking about whether I should share it with Shuangshi..."

Her fingertips tapped lightly on the bed sheet. Aiyin would of course not really send the photos to Soushi. She just heard that Izumi and Mikazuki Yozora had reunited, and she was unhappy, so she wanted to make Izumi unhappy as well.

"beep--"

"what sound?"

"The sound of the recording, I recorded your speech just now. When we go on vacation to the beach, we can hold a tasting party and let everyone listen to it together. What do you think?"

The smile froze on Chihaya Aine's face and she fell into silence. In her mind, an ultra-high-definition 4k resolution image of Shiina Riki pointing at her and laughing appeared.

"..."

If Quan Zhen did that, her life would be over, right?

"Please, delete it... I'll do anything!"

If she hadn't been on the phone, Chihaya Aine would have already considered the feasibility of kneeling down.

"You can do anything? How confident are you to say this?"

"The awareness of death!"

But after answering, Chihaya Aine's voice softened again and she began to act coquettishly towards Izumi.

"Delete it~ Hey, brother~ Please~ Hey? Hey?"

Even Izumi rarely heard such an intimate and gentle voice from Aine's mouth, but even though it was pleasant to hear, Izumi decided to keep the recording for the time being.

"deleted."

"Really?"

After hearing Izumi's quick answer, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but feel doubtful.

"fake."

"..."

Aiyin, who was staying in Quan's room, did not dare to shout at this moment, so as not to attract the attention of her parents. She collapsed weakly on Quan's bed, feeling that her future was dark.

389. I have never seen women fight.

After chatting with Aine for a long time, until her voice became weak and she seemed to be falling asleep, Izumi did not force her and stopped talking to her. After ending the call, Chihaya Aine lay quietly on Izumi's bed, and fell into sleep slowly with the soothing breath on Izumi's pillow.

There was no time for Izumi to rest. After the call with Chihaya Aine ended, a call from Nagasaki Shoyo rang. Izumi had received a call from her when he was talking to Aine before.

It was just that she was on the phone with Aine at the time, so she couldn’t get through. Now that she had ended the call with Aine, her phone just happened to ring.

Izumi, who answered the girl's phone, had a conversation with Nagasaki Soyo on the same topic as his previous conversation with Aine. He just repeated what they had talked about before, so that Izumi didn't need to spend extra energy thinking about it.

After sending the photo he had sent to Aine before to Nagasaki Soyo again and chatting with her about the local customs and practices in Gifu, Izumi, who was standing in front of the window, listened to Nagasaki Soyo confess her longing for him. He then comforted her softly, reiterated that he would be back in a week, and ended their conversation.

"..."

Quan, who had been chatting with the two for about two hours, now felt a little tired.

Standing in front of the window, taking a look at the night sky which was completely different from that of Tokyo, Quan picked up his mobile phone and took a picture of the night sky.

“This is too vague.”

Looking at the photos he took, some small stars could not be seen at all, and even the bright moon appeared a little blurry in the photos, which made Quan sigh in his heart, and then he deleted the photos he took.
