Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

If someone truly likes you, she will fall for any stupid tricks.

No matter what tricks you use, it will be useless if someone doesn't like you.

It’s also a confession.

What Doma Mei hated was not being confessed to, but that the person who confessed to her was Deno Ren, not Kitahara Takashi.

If the person who confessed to her at Koshien that day was Kitahara Takashi, Doma Yui would never have run after him.

If I don’t like something, I just don’t like it. There is no reason and no need for a reason.

"You really want to beat me?"

Kitahara Takashi seemed to have thought of something, and a light bulb lit up in his head.

"Kitahara-san, you're a big stupid pig."

Upon hearing this, Doma Mai angrily cursed Kitahara Tsutomu and ran upstairs quickly with the sound of her little leather shoes.

"so stupid!"

"So stupid!"

"Where's your usual cleverness? Why are you so dumb now?"

As she ran, Tsuchimami kept muttering curses at him.

She didn't understand why Kitahara Tsutomu was so cunning when he was pursuing her. His eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and he could guess what she was thinking at a glance.

Why did you suddenly become stupid after being with me?

Does a man become stupid when he falls in love?

Do you want to win?

There's no benefit in winning against him.

Doma Mai ran upstairs and when she looked down, she found Kitahara Takashi still standing there.

The light from the old street lamp flickered again and again, but the boy's figure remained upright.

The girl was already so angry that she planned to ignore him all night, but she couldn't help herself and waved goodbye to him.

Kitahara Tsutomu also raised his arm and waved at her.

Click!

With the sound of the key turning in the door lock, Tsuchima pushed the door open and said, "I'm back."

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Doma Daihei's face as black as the bottom of a pot, and Doma Mai was so scared that her true form was revealed.

"Brother...brother."

"You still know how to come back!"

Doma Ohira had an ugly look on his face, and he just stared at his sister whose height was shrinking rapidly.

"Come and tell me, what time is it?"

Domama secretly glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, and her calves began to throb uncontrollably.

When she was with Kitahara Tsuyoshi, she didn't even notice the passage of time.

It was not until now that she realized that it was already 21:17 when she got home.

No wonder his brother looked so unhappy.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

Domama admitted her mistake decisively.

"You" Doma Ohira was about to teach the other person a lesson when he suddenly heard something strange.

"Cuckoo..."

Doma Ohira: "...You didn't eat?"

Doma Mai touched her stomach and suddenly realized that she seemed to have not had dinner yet.

They had agreed to play games together, but when they got to the double room in the Internet cafe, they kissed and hugged each other.

They found a movie, and while watching it, they kissed each other again and forgot to eat.

"Ah."

“…Wait.”

Doma Ohira's cold face didn't last long.

With the idea of ​​'teaching her a lesson after dinner', Doma Ohira went to the kitchen to heat up some food.

"Onii-chan, you're the best~"

Listening to the flattery from Doma behind him, Doma Daihei sighed.

After all, he couldn't harden his heart towards his sister.

Ten minutes later, when Doma Ohira came out with the hot meal, he found Doma Mai concentrating on studying.

"I'll be studying later, let's eat first."

Doma Ohira reminded him.

"okay."

Domama took the bowl and chopsticks, clasped her hands together and said, "I'm eating!"

He ate while tilting his head to look at the questions, and from time to time he would put down his bowl and chopsticks and write something on the draft paper.

"Can't you eat first and then study?"

Doma Daihei was almost unable to bear it anymore.

He felt that Doma Mai was really getting too arrogant.

"Brother, can you tell me the solution to this problem?"

Doma Mai pointed at the questions she didn't understand.

Doma Ohira snatched the question from him and ordered, "Eat first. I'll teach you after you finish eating."

Doma had no choice but to eat first.

"Is this exam so important?"

Doma Ohira found that he couldn't understand his younger sister recently.

I don’t play games anymore, I just read when I get home.

She wasn't like this before.

In the past, when she had exams, she would only drag me to study with her the day before the exam.

"Do you really want to take first place?"

"I'm not working so hard just to get first place."

Doma Mai spoke vaguely while eating.

She doesn't care about rankings at all.

As long as Kitahara Takashi told her he wanted to win, she would give him the first place.

She just wanted to work together with Kitahara Takashi towards the agreed goal and wanted to make herself better.

"Then why are you still working so hard?"

Doma Daihei didn't understand. Why was he working so hard if he wasn't aiming for first place?

Doma Mai suddenly fell silent. After hesitating for a moment, she decided not to hide it from her brother: "I've fallen in love with a boy recently."

Doma Daihei was shocked.

He was about to ask who the other person was, but Tsuchima seemed to understand what he was about to say and said in advance: "Brother, don't ask me who he is. I won't tell you."

"I can only tell you that he is a very good, very good boy."

"He's very popular now. There are so many girls who like him, and they are all very outstanding."

Thinking of Yukinoshita Yukino and Adagaki Aiki, Tsuchima Mai clenched her chopsticks tightly: "I want to become even better."

"I want to be the one who deserves him best."

The first one can be Kitahara Takashi, but the second one must belong to her.

In Doma Yui's opinion, the best love is when the two are evenly matched.

After hearing this, Doma Ohira's eyes began to become complicated as he looked at Doma Mai.

In his eyes, Tsuchiya Mai is always a child who never grows up, innocent, lively and quirky.

But he forgot that children will grow up, meet boys they like, become someone else's wife, form a new family with another boy, and one day they will leave him.

Doma Ohira had never thought about it before because he didn't dare to think about it.

He has become accustomed to taking care of Tsuchiya Mai every day and cannot imagine his life without her.

But no matter how much he didn't want it, this day finally came.

"You went to see him today, didn't you?"

Doma Ohira spoke in a calm tone.

"Ah."

Doma lowered his head, not daring to look at his brother, and kept digging in the rice with his chopsticks.

"I've never been in love, so I can't teach you anything."

Doma Ohira has never been in love himself, so he can't teach anything about love.

"But I hope that before you give yourself completely to someone, you must first confirm whether the other person is worthy of your trust."

To be honest, he really couldn't understand it.

Why do so many people like Kitahara Takashi?

Even though the media has exposed him as a scumbag, there are still a group of young girls who love him to death.

While taking a break in the tea room today, he overheard his colleagues talking and heard that some young girls were willing to sell themselves in order to get the baseball that Kitahara Takashi hit a home run with.

After listening to this, Doma Ohira felt that the world might have gone crazy.

It is also because of the deeds of the bad artist Takashi Kitahara in front of him that Doma Daihei is really afraid that Doma Yui will meet a scumbag like Takashi Kitahara who plays with girls.

"Don't worry, brother. I have a very good eye for people."

Doma Yui had no idea that the person her brother was afraid of was the person she was talking to.

"He's different from other boys."

*

At this time, Kitahara Takashi, who was different from other boys as Doma Mei said, was standing at the door trembling with fear.

"Tong...Tong, why are you here? Didn't you say you were going back to your family today?"

At this moment, in the center of the sofa in the bedroom, Ye Yingtong, with her graceful figure, long beautiful legs and cold and beautiful face, was looking at him with a sneer.

Kitahara Tsun's calves couldn't help but start to tremble.

Because he did something wrong.

He became bolder today because he heard that Ye Yingtong was going back to her family.

How come it was exposed so quickly?

Could it be that there are cameras in the Internet cafe’s private rooms?

That's impossible. Kitahara Tsutomu checked everything before going in.

"Come on, kneel down."

Ye Yingtong pointed at the ground.

"Tong, I" "Don't make me say it a second time."
