I have pure love with them

“Until now, we still call each other ‘Chihaya-kun’ and ‘Nagasaki-san’. It feels a bit strange. Just call me ‘Souyo’ like Aine does. In exchange, I would like to call you ‘Izumi’. Is that okay?”

Looking at Nagasaki Shoyo who was looking at him expectantly, while the other party was still trying to disturb his mind, Quan smiled and nodded.

"of course can."

"Meeting Aine was also an accident. Yesterday, I happened to see her and Riki having a misunderstanding, so I asked her if she was okay. Unexpectedly, I ran into her again today. She took the initiative to say hello to me, and then we started chatting. I felt that she was somewhat similar to Izumi, so I tried to ask her, and I didn't expect that she was really Izumi's sister."

Holding the teacup in both hands, Nagasaki Shoyo answered Izumi's question with a smile.

"Also, now that I know that Aine and Deng are from the same school, the only signature missing from the last collection was Deng's. This time, it seems that we can collect all five signatures."

"Is that the lead singer, Tomori Takamatsu?"

"Hmm, doesn't Izumi know that Tomo and Aine are in the same class?"

Without showing much surprise, Quan nodded slightly with an expression of "So this happened".

“Aine hasn’t talked to me about this… She’s only just met her new classmates, so I don’t know much about her relationships with her classmates.”

Looking at Izumi's reaction and his answer, Nagasaki Shoyo, who didn't see any problem, clasped his hands in front of him and stroked the back of his right hand with the index finger of his left hand.

"I see... Um, did Izumi bring Shoko's autograph?"

After chatting with Izumi for such a long time, she couldn't hold back her emotions anymore and asked Izumi about the signature of Xiangzi that she saw last night.

"of course."

He took out a small cylindrical paper painting tube from his schoolbag and handed it to Nagasaki Soyo.

He had asked Izumi a lot about Toyokawa Shoko before, but after such a long time, he could not help but feel very complicated when he really touched upon things related to Shoko again.

Restraining her fluctuating emotions, she took the painting tube handed to her by Quan with both hands, gently opened the lid, and saw the sketch lying inside.

"If possible, I'd like you to sign this sketch, Shuangshi. Of course, it would be even better if someone else signed it."

"Eh? Can I take it back?"

After hearing what Izumi said, Nagasaki Soyo, who was about to take out the painting, stopped what he was doing and looked at Izumi.

"of course."

'What will Xiao Mu do when he sees this painting?'

After Nagasaki Shoyo thought for a while, she stopped what she was doing, put the lid of the painting tube back on, and looked at Izumi in front of her with a smile.

"Well, I'd better take it back and have a look. It would be inappropriate if I accidentally dirty Quan's painting."

"I'm sorry to bother you again."

"It's okay, but... did Xiangzi say anything to you this time?"

Under Nagasaki Shoyo's expectant gaze, Izumi shook his head.

"That's it..."

After chatting with Nagasaki Souse for a while, Aine also returned to the coffee shop. Her hands were still red, but not as obvious as before. She gently rubbed her cheeks with her wet hands, came to the table and sat down, but her eyes were no longer looking at Izumi beside her.

139. You thought I was on the first floor, but I was actually on the negative floor

"Does Shuangshi have a boy he likes?"

"Huh? Why…"

When Nagasaki Souyo, who was combing her hair, heard her mother, who was lying on her knees with a facial mask on, suddenly ask about her love life, she couldn't help but fall into a daze. She slowly looked at her mother's face, and the other party also opened her eyes and looked at her curiously.

"Because of work, I don't have time to be with you. Mom has always felt sorry for it, but I have always cared about Shuangshi. You are already a high school student, and I am a little worried that you will feel lonely and be deceived by some boys with bad intentions. So I want to know a little about Shuangshi's love life."

Facing his mother's concerned look at him, he also knew how much pressure his mother was under in life. He was grateful to her for her kindness and did not want her to worry about him or to know his true feelings. He slowly closed his eyes that would reveal his true feelings and answered with a smile.

"There is absolutely no need to feel sorry for this. Isn't mom also working very hard? I am always worried about whether mom is taking good care of her health while working."

When he opened his eyes again, Nagasaki Shoyo tilted his head slightly and looked at his mother with concern.

Ms. Nagasaki was being stared at, and her eyes couldn't help but wander.

"Well... I guess I did pay attention."

"Ah~ I didn't get enough rest after all. Are you paying attention to your health?"

In the eyes of her colleagues, Ms. Nagasaki, who has always been elegant and capable, now showed a weak and pitiful expression. She looked at her daughter, as if begging for the girl's forgiveness.

"Please take care of your health."

"Okay~ Since Shuangshi cares about me, I will definitely pay more attention to my body. But~ Shuangshi hasn't answered my question yet. Are there any boys you are dating, or any boys you care about?"

Facing his mother's gaze, Nagasaki Shoyo was silent for a moment, then responded with a chuckle.

"No, mom knows that Moon Forest is a girls' school. Everyone in it is a girl. There are no boys to get to know."

"I always feel something is suspicious~"

Looking at her smiling daughter, Ms. Nagasaki, who is well versed in business negotiations, also noticed the suspiciousness in her daughter's answer, but seeing that her daughter did not want to tell her, she did not ask any further questions.

She didn't know the details, but she believed in her heart that her daughter would not fall in love with someone who had no redeeming qualities.

"Even if I like her, I would like someone with a gentle personality like her."

Recalling what happened to her on the street today, Ms. Nagasaki, who had been single for a long time, felt lonely for the first time in a long time. The feeling of being held in the arms of a reliable boy made her feel as if she had returned to the same age as her daughter Nagasaki Sose, and she recalled the hazy and ambiguous fantasies she had had when she was young.

So, after seeing her daughter, she couldn't help but ask about her daughter's love status.

"It would be a pity if you didn't have a pure and beautiful love experience during your youth..."

Looking back on her youth, Ms. Nagasaki is filled with regrets. She hopes that her daughter can have the wonderful love that she never had, so as to make up for the regrets left by her youth...

Of course, she only had such expectations in her heart.

She had no idea what her mother was thinking, but after hearing what her mother said, the figure and face of Chihaya Izumi gradually emerged in Nagasaki Shoyo's mind. In her current life, the only boy she could be said to have a relationship with was Chihaya Izumi.

like?

"I don't have any feelings for him... I may be a little too harsh on him, but I just want to learn about Xiangzi from him..."

I don't hate each other, but I don't like each other either.

"Shuangshi, if you have someone you like, remember to value yourself more instead of accommodating the other person at will. People who need you to accommodate them don't really like you."

"Ah."

After hearing his mother's teachings, Nagasaki Shoyo stopped thinking about "what kind of feelings he had for Chihaya Izumi", slowly lowered his head, and met the pair of concerned eyes -

"It seems... the same way he looked at me at that time..."

In a trance, Nagasaki Shoyo seemed to see Chihaya Izumi right in front of him through his mother's caring eyes.

The other party has been looking at her with the same eyes.

'Why……'

When it was time to rest, Nagasaki Soyo returned to her room. After closing the door, she turned on the lights in the room, walked slowly to her desk, and picked up a small scroll of paint.

He opened the lid and poured out the sketches inside.

Nagasaki Shoyo spread the sketch flat on his desk, looked down at the sketch with five figures, and couldn't help but pursed his lips.

It is so delicate that it can even be described as lifelike.

The moment he saw the entire sketch, Nagasaki Soyo was reminded of the first time the five of them performed on a live stage.

"Does he really like 'CRYCHIC' that much? He looked at me with such concern... Is he also concerned about my situation after the band disbanded?"

Looking down at the sketch of herself, her face was filled with nervousness and happiness, which reminded Nagasaki Soyo of her first live performance. She was very nervous while playing, and even cried with excitement after the successful performance...

When his delicate white fingertips touched himself in the painting, Nagasaki Shoyo pursed his lips.

"Can you... understand me?"

……

Suddenly I felt my nose itchy.

Sitting in the room, Izumi sent Dongyun Huiming's painting to the other party. When he was thinking about whether to draw something stimulating, he suddenly felt an itchy feeling coming from deep in his nasal cavity. He rubbed it with his hand, and the feeling disappeared.

“…Who’s thinking about me?”

Just received the painting of Dongyun Ename?

Goto Ichiri who hasn't sent any message yet?

Is Tokinoya Mion resting at home?

Is it Akatsuki who is still upset with himself?

Or maybe he was admiring the Nagasaki Shoyo he transformed into?

Quan, who was sitting at the table, looked towards the wall.

He stood up, walked out of his room, came to the door of Aine's room, and knocked on the door.

dong dong——

After a brief silence, hurried footsteps were heard in the room.

With a creaky sound, the door opened, and Chihaya Aine, who was wearing soft pink pajamas, poked her head out and looked suspiciously at Izumi who was standing in front of the door.

"what happened?"

"Did you miss me just now?"

"..."

There was a moment of silence. Chihaya Aine was confused at first, then she looked at Izumi in front of her with a look of doubt and stretched out her slender index finger, waving it in front of Izumi.

"How much is this?"

"index finger."

Chihaya Aine looked at Izumi silently, then sighed and shook her head helplessly.

"It seems there is no hope."

Snapped--

The door was closed immediately.
