For Nagasaki Soyo, her desire for Izumi is no longer limited to the present. She even hopes to possess Izumi's past.

She hopes that Quan will always be there in her past, present and future.

The hands that fell on Quan's shoulders gradually tightly embraced Quan's neck.

"lifetime……"

The soft whisper coming from behind made Quan, who was walking towards his room, pause.

"..."

There was a moment when Izumi felt that the person he was carrying on his back was not Nagasaki Soyo, but Takamatsu Tomori.

'It's too heavy.'

……

"What did you do to her?"

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Aine sitting on the sofa, watching a movie. As soon as Izumi came to sit beside her, the girl slightly leaned over, leaned on Izumi's shoulder, and asked softly.

Feeling a little confused, Quan looked at his sister, and followed her gaze to look at Rana Kaname who was sitting not far away and had changed her clothes.

The girl was squinting her eyes, looking at him with vigilance and dissatisfaction.

"Before, when she was swimming in the pool, water accidentally splashed on her."

"that is it?"

After hearing Izumi's explanation, Chihaya Aine looked at her brother with some suspicion.

"if not?"

"Le Nai is not yet an adult, no, she is still a middle school student, so don't mess around."

Although she believed Izumi's explanation in her heart, under the impact of what happened in the past two days, Chihaya Aine felt that she should still remind her brother not to do anything that would make him regret for the rest of his life on a whim.

Facing his sister's warning, Quan looked at her. After staring at her for a while, he didn't say anything. He just quietly watched the movie that was playing.

The movie is called "Seto Inland Sea" and it tells the story of two high school boys who sit by the river and chat and complain after school, and spend their high school youth inadvertently.

The humorous plot made everyone very engaged in watching it, and Quan also used it to while away his free time.

When the sun set over the mountain and the evening glow shone into the living room, Quan stood up and began to prepare dinner.

Ijichi Hongxia also stood up and offered to help.

Because the barbecue at noon was too greasy, Izumi prepared some lighter dishes. After tasting them, the girls all thought they tasted good. Ijichi Hongxia even asked Izumi for a recipe.

"Here, this is my apology for this afternoon."

Due to the accident that happened in the afternoon, Yao Lena was dissatisfied with herself. After dinner, before Yao Lena left the restaurant, Quan brought out the dessert he made by himself and handed it to the girl.

Kaname Lenai raised her head, looked at Izumi in confusion, picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of the matcha cream cake made by Izumi, and put it into her small mouth.

"..."

Biting the spoon, Kaname raised her head and looked at Izumi in front of her.

"Forgive you."

Then she carried the cake and walked towards the dining table, ready to enjoy this delicious dessert that belonged to her alone.

The villa was equipped with all the kitchen utensils, but there were no ingredients to make a cream cake. Before preparing dinner, Quan went out for a while and bought some ingredients on the street before he completed the matcha cake.

"I also want."

He felt a touch on his waist and turned to look behind him. Aine had come behind him without him noticing, staring at him intently and whispering softly.

"It's in the oven, go get it yourself."

"Oh~"

After hearing Izumi’s answer, Aine walked towards the kitchen counter contentedly, while Izumi breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the stairs.

He had originally planned to go out for night fishing, but considering that it was too dark at night, he changed his itinerary and planned to rest early and go out for night fishing in the early morning.

After returning to the room, Quan sat on the seat in front of the window and looked through his Line.

[Today's work, let's check it out]

The message came from Toyokawa Shoko. After Izumi came to the beach for vacation, she started taking pictures of the clean apartment and sending them to Izumi since yesterday evening.

Her serious personality made her complete the tasks entrusted to her by Quan conscientiously.

[Thanks for your hard work]

Before leaving the apartment, Toyokawa Shoko was standing in the living room, looking at the reply letter sent by Izumi. She pursed her lips slightly and a satisfied expression appeared on her face, but when her mood was fluctuating, she took a deep breath to suppress her fluctuating mood.

'...'

[I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of me during my absence.]

"Home……"

Looking at the message sent by Quan again, Toyokawa Shoko was silent. She looked around the living room and looked down at the message sent by Quan.

[I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do.]

"It's what we should do..."

With a soft sigh of relief, Quan slowly closed his eyes.

"When you go back, bring her a souvenir as well."

Quan was murmuring softly and seemed to be about to fall asleep on the chair when there was a knock on the door. The sound was weak and it was clearly a knock on the door, but it gave people a feeling as if someone was worried about disturbing Quan.

'Just the way you knock on the door can tell who's at the door.'

Quan was groggy and a little sleepy, but not yet asleep. He opened his eyes and looked towards the door of the room.

Standing up slowly from his chair, Quan walked to the door of the room and opened it for the other party.

After the room was opened, I saw Goto Ichiri standing at the door.

"come in."

Without asking Goto Ichiri why he came to see him, looking at the girl standing at the door of the room, Izumi first let her into the room, and then under Goto Ichiri's gaze, he gently closed the door.

'clatter--'

As the door closed, Goto Ichiri suddenly became nervous. He stood in Izumi's room, holding his left hand lightly in front of his body, looking very nervous.

"Senior Hong Xia, is she still in the living room?"

"Huh? Hmm..."

Goto Ichiri was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Izumi would start by talking about Ijichi Kouka. She was surprised for a moment, then nodded.

Under the girl's gaze, Quan closed the door and sat back in his chair. There was no light in the room, but everything seemed exceptionally clear under the moonlight.

With his hands clasped in front of him, the boy looked at the girl standing in the room with a gentle expression.

For a moment, the image of 'a pure white nightgown sliding down a pair of fair legs under the moonlight' emerged in Quan's mind, but Goto Ichiri in front of him was not wearing a nightgown.

"sit down."

"……Um."

Under Izumi's gaze and after hearing Izumi's words, Goto Ichiri hesitated for a moment and sat down opposite Izumi.

The two of them sat on either side of the French window. Izumi was looking at Goto Ichiri, but the girl lowered her head, not daring to meet his eyes.

"About what happened last night?"

Goto Ichiri lowered his head, his body trembled slightly, and raised his head under Izumi's gaze, but his eyes were darting around, and just as he was about to speak -

"Izumi, are you in the room?"

Nagasaki Shoyo's question came from outside the door.

416. Are you scared?

The sound coming from outside the door made Goto Ichiri, who was sitting in the house, tremble suddenly. Like a quail, he looked towards the door with panic and surprise, and then quickly looked at Izumi.

'What now?'

Faced with the sudden arrival of Nagasaki Soushi, Goto Ichiri felt extremely panicked, fearing that the other party would enter the house and find her and Izumi alone.

The timing of Nagasaki's arrival was rather subtle.

Glancing towards the door, his eyes turned to Goto Ichiri who was sitting across from him.

'You came here because she and I were not in the living room?'

But I had already talked with Nagasaki Soushi in the afternoon about him and Goto Ichiri, so I shouldn't come to him at this time just for Goto Ichiri's matter.

"No, the question we should be thinking about now is not why she came here."

The room was so small that there was no space for people to hide. There were two beds in the room, but there was no way to hide under the beds. As for the balcony outside the window... At this moment, even the slightest sound could be heard clearly outside.

"spring?"

Nagasaki Souyo's puzzled question came from the door. After a long time without receiving a response, she called out Quan's name again into the room.

Seeing that Goto Ichiri's forehead had begun to sweat, Izumi, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then a subtle look appeared in her eyes, and she turned her gaze back to the door.

"Here, come in."

"..."

After hearing Izumi's voice and inviting the girl who was outside the door to come in, Goto Ichiri, who was sitting in the room, had a blank mind. He sat in the chair in a daze, not knowing how to react for a moment. He subconsciously lowered his head and looked at his tightly closed knees, hoping that Nagasaki Soushi would ignore his existence after entering the room.

Nagasaki Soyo, who was standing outside the door, heard Quan's voice coming from inside the house. She raised her soft white chin, looked at the door in front of her, and reached out to gently push it open.

"Quan, isn't the light on?"

When the door was slowly pushed open and darkness came into view, Nagasaki Shoyo slowly walked into the room. It took him some time to adapt to the dim environment in the room, and he noticed Izumi sitting in the moonlight, and Goto Ichiri sitting on the other side.

"Goto-san is here too."

“Uh… um, that…”

When Goto Ichiri heard her name from Nagasaki Soushi's mouth, she lowered her head and tried to act like a quail to reduce her presence. But after Nagasaki Soushi entered the room and discovered her, a stiff smile appeared on her face. She slowly raised her head and looked at Nagasaki Soushi who was standing in the room.

Goto Ichiri, who was not good at speaking, became even more nervous at this moment and didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
