But when she heard the second half of the sentence, her eyes lit up again, the corners of her mouth rose slightly unconsciously, and a trace of imperceptible joy flashed in her eyes.

(Xia added this deliberately, could it be that...)

It goes without saying who the gentle and lively person refers to. Before Crychic disbanded, Nagasaki Suyo could also feel the charm of Toyokawa Shoko.

The second half of the sentence clearly means that Sanka Hatsuka is saying that she did not become lovers with Toyokawa Shoko in the end, but fell in love with someone else.

At least that's what Nagasaki Suyo thought.

(When we were still in [Crychic], besides Xiao Mu, Xia and I were the closest. And [Personaction] had just been established not long ago. Who did Xia like?

Chapter 204: I Want to Be with Xia Forever

(When we were still in [Crychic], besides Xiao Mu, Xia and I were the closest. And [Personaction] had just been established not long ago. Who did Xia like?

Nagasaki Suyo felt that the answer was already clear.

When she thought about what she was about to do, Nagasaki Suyo felt her heart pounding in her chest, as if it was about to burst through her chest. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and unconsciously gripped the spatula in her hand a little tighter.

"Xia..." she called softly.

"what happened?"

Nagasaki Suyo turned down the fire, turned around, and looked straight at Sanjiao Hatsuka with a hint of nervousness and anticipation in her eyes.

"I have something to tell you."

Without waiting for him to react, Nagasaki Suyo took a step forward, mustered up all her courage, and gently grabbed Sanka Hatsuka's right hand.

"I like you, Xia." Her voice was soft, but very clear. "Not the kind of liking as a friend, but the kind of liking that wants to be with Xia."

After saying this, she seemed to have used up all her strength, her chest heaving violently, but her eyes were fixed on Sanjiao Chuxia's face, afraid to miss any change in his expression.

Sanjiao Chuxia was stunned, a complex emotion flashing in his violet eyes. He opened his mouth, as if he didn't know how to respond to this sudden confession.

"I always feel safe when I'm with you, especially when I cook with you. It makes me feel the warmth of home."

Her eyelashes drooped for a moment, then she raised her eyes and looked straight at him, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"I know it may sound willful to say this, but... Xia, I don't want to be just an ordinary friend anymore. I want to be Xia's lover and be with Xia for the rest of my life!"

The kitchen fell into silence, with only the soft sound of hamburger patties cooking in the pan.

A look of surprise appeared on Sanka Hatsuka's face, and a bitter yet gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He gently shook Nagasaki Suyo's hand, but slowly let it go the next second.

"Su Shi..." His voice was lower than usual, as if he was choosing his words carefully. "You are also very important to me. I like being with you."

"Xia means..."

His fingertips unconsciously stroked the edge of the countertop, his eyes avoiding Nagasaki Suyo's burning gaze as he continued:

"But... I think Su Shi may have misunderstood my feelings. Perhaps you just longed too much for the feeling of 'home', so you mistook 'dependence' for 'love'."

The hamburger meat in the pan made a slight sizzling sound, and the aroma of fat filled the air, making the silence at the moment seem even more suffocating.

"No, that's not the case!"

Nagasaki Suyo once again held Sanka Hatsuka's hand and placed it in front of her: "I am very sure that this feeling I have for Xia is love, and it is definitely not 'dependence'!"

Sanjiao Chuxia's violet eyes trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath.

(Should I just reject it outright?)

Originally, he didn't want to tell everyone that he and Sankaku Hatsuka were already lovers. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, they were siblings. But considering Nagasaki Suyo's current situation, if he didn't tell her the truth, she might not give up.

"Su Shi." Sanjiao Chuxia looked into her eyes, "Actually... I'm already dating Xiaochu."

"Eh?"

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water. Nagasaki Suyo felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen, and her ears were buzzing.

"But, you are not..."

"It has nothing to do with that kind of thing. Xiaochu and I are lovers who will be together for life, so... I can't accept Su Shi's feelings."

“Is that so…” She forced a smile, but her eyes were red uncontrollably. “Sorry… I said something weird…”

Mikado Hatsuka took a step forward, but she dodged. Nagasaki Suyo turned around and pretended to check the hamburger meat in the pot, but in fact she was hiding the tears that were about to fall.

"The hamburger meat... is almost done." Her voice was noticeably trembling. "What kind of sauce would Xia like?"

"Su Shi..."

"Barbecue sauce, please? Or ketchup?" she continued stubbornly, her fingers tightly gripping the spatula.

Sanjiao Chuxia sighed softly and walked to her side: "Let me do it."

He took the spatula and expertly flipped the hamburger patties. Nagasaki Suyo stood by, feeling the world spinning. She secretly wiped the moisture from her eyes with her fingertips and tried to sound normal.

"I...I'll go prepare the tableware..."

Dinner was held in silence. Nagasaki Suyo ate in small bites, but could taste nothing. Sanjiao Hatsuka tried to speak several times, but she deliberately changed the subject.

"It's delicious." This is all he could say in the end. "Thank you for teaching me."

Nagasaki Suyo nodded, her eyes never leaving her plate: "You're welcome..."

While washing dishes, the sound of the faucet filled the gap between the two. Sanjiao Chuxia stood behind her, looking at her slightly trembling shoulders, and finally couldn't help but step forward.

"Su Shi..."

"I'm fine!" She turned around suddenly, with water marks still on her face.

Mikado Hatsuka reached out to wipe away her tears, but was evaded. Nagasaki Suyo took a step back, her back against the edge of the sink.

"Please... please don't do this. If you were gentle with me... it would make me even more sad..."

Her voice was broken, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Sanjiao Chuxia withdrew her hand, her eyes full of apology: "I'm sorry..."

"Xia, you don't have to apologize." Nagasaki Suye took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "It's me... I was too self-indulgent."

The sky gradually darkened, and the rain outside the window started falling again. The raindrops hit the glass, making a crackling sound.

"I should go now." Sanjiao Chuxia stood at the entrance and spoke softly.

Nagasaki Suyo nodded without looking up at him. Her fingers were clutching the hem of her skirt so tightly that her knuckles were white.

"Be careful on the road."

"I will pretend that what happened today never happened. We are still friends."

After leaving these words, Sanjiao Chuxia put on his shoes and turned away.

The door opened and closed, and the footsteps gradually faded away. Nagasaki Suyo finally let herself slide to the ground and buried her face between her knees.

The kitchen still lingered with the aroma of hamburger patties and the pain of an unfulfilled confession.

After a while, she took out her phone from her pocket and clicked on the photo of Triangle Early Summer that she had taken at some unknown time...

Chapter 205: She is not that fragile

In the evening, Sanjiao Chuxia returned to the apartment with somewhat tired steps. The sound of the key inserted into the keyhole was particularly clear in the quiet corridor.

Pushing open the door, the warm light shone on him. In the living room, Sanjiao Chuhua was sitting on the sofa, looking at his phone, with his smooth legs tucked in front of him.

Her bare feet had a slight pearly sheen, and her round toes occasionally curled up unconsciously, leaving shallow indentations on the sofa cushion.

"Welcome back." She raised her head, and the collar of her home dress slid to the side, revealing her delicate collarbone. However, when she saw Sanjiao Chuxia's expression, her brows furrowed slightly.

"I am back."

He forced a rather unpleasant smile, and bent down to change his shoes a few beats slower than usual, his movements seeming a little absent-minded.

Sanjiao Chuhua put down his phone and slowly lowered his long legs from the sofa.

Under the warm light, her skin glowed with a delicate luster, as smooth as the finest mutton-fat jade. Her calves were graceful and flowing, with a faint pink tinge at her knees.

Her bare feet made a soft sound as they touched the floor. As she walked towards her lover, the soft curve of her inner thigh was faintly visible under the hem of her home clothes.

"What's wrong?" She stopped in front of Sanjiao Chuxia and looked up at him slightly.

Sanjiao Chuxia's Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes fell on her fair legs, but he didn't reach out to touch them as usual. He took off his hat and put it aside, his voice a little muffled.

"Nothing... Yeah, nothing."

The perceptive Sanjiao Chuhua naturally couldn't be fooled by such words that couldn't even be called a lie. She gently stroked his cheek, her fingertips warm from the bath.

"You're lying." She stood on tiptoe, her nose almost touching his. "Your brows are wrinkled like this, and you still say it's okay."

The smell of shower gel wafted over with a familiar body fragrance. Sanjiao Chuxia subconsciously sniffed it and felt a little more relaxed.

He pecked Sanjiao Chuhua lightly on the cheek, then walked to the sofa and sat down: "I'm just a little tired. I taught a newbie to play guitar today."

In fact, teaching Chihaya Aine to play the guitar was not very tiring. On the contrary, she learned it quite quickly. But Sanka Hatsuka still subconsciously found an excuse.

Sanjiao Chuhua sat next to him, and the hem of her home clothes slid to the middle of her thighs due to this movement, revealing more of her porcelain skin.

"Then I'll go run the bath water." Her fingers brushed across the back of Sanjiao Chuxia's neck, feeling his unconscious tenseness from being touched in a sensitive area. "Do you want to put in the bath spray?"

"Well, thank you, Xiaochu."

"You're welcome. But before I take a shower..."

Halfway through the conversation, Sanjiao Chuhua suddenly put her face close to his neck and sniffed carefully: "It smells like lavender... Did Xia go to see Su Shi today?"

Hearing this, Sanjiao Chuxia's breathing hitched, as if he had been caught cheating with his lover. His fingers unconsciously tugged at the sofa cover. The golden hair brushed lightly against his cheek, making him feel itchy and uneasy.

"Well... I'm going to Su Shi's house to learn how to cook." He turned his face away with a guilty look on his face, "Then..."

It’s not because he felt guilty about “cheating”, but Sanjiao Chuxia had just said “I will pretend that what happened tonight never happened” and he was facing the crisis of being discovered by his girlfriend.

His brain was working at high speed, trying to find a reason to get away with it.

"And then you were confessed to?" Sanjiao Chuhua stood up and looked down at him condescendingly.

Sanjiao Hatsuka sat up suddenly, almost hitting her chin: "Why--"

(I knew she was a sneaky cat!)

"After all, Su Shi has always liked Xia~" She suddenly revealed a somewhat dangerous smile, twisting a strand of her hair between her fingers, "So Xia rejected her?"

Silence stretched between the two of them. The sound of rain outside the window suddenly grew louder, hitting the glass with a fine sound.

"I said...we were already dating." Sanjiao Chuxia finally confessed, her voice dry, "and then Su Shi cried."

"Ugh."

Sanjiao Chuhua sighed, the smile on her face gradually faded, and she sat back down beside him, pressing her soft body against him, as if trying to comfort him in this way.

"Being too gentle does cause this kind of trouble."

"What's the meaning?"

"It was Su Shi who confessed to you, but you felt bad about 'hurting her'. This is a sign of being too gentle." She gently pulled Sanjiao Chuxia into her arms and let his head rest on her chest.

Sanjiao Chuxia's cheek sank into a soft warmth, and the subtle fragrance he could smell every night enveloped him. He could hear her steady heartbeat, beating against his eardrums.

"Then...what should I do?" His voice was muffled in Sanjiao Chuhua's chest.

She suddenly held up Sanjiao Hatsuka's face and forced him to look into her eyes.

"You don't have to do anything." She said word by word, "Su Shi is not that fragile[1]. Just give her some time and space, and she will adapt on her own. It's just that the shock she's received now is too great for a while."

(Even if you can't adapt...do you have to comfort her? You'll be easily assaulted by a bad woman.)

Yes, in Sankaku Hatsuka's eyes, Nagasaki Suyo, who always uses the excuse of "delivering lunch boxes" to meet her boyfriend, is a cunning bad woman.
