After all, her mother was at home, so how could anything happen? Not to mention whether Amamiya wanted to or not, she was a little scared.

So when Amamiya returned to her room after taking a shower, all that could be seen was her flushed face as she grabbed her change of clothes and ran straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

I wonder what she's thinking about this time.

As mentioned before, to avoid any unexpected situations, Amamiya specifically brought his underwear into his harem bag. So, wearing his new underwear, he was in a pretty good mood. Paired with the incredibly comfortable gray pajamas, he simply lay on Sosei's bed and scrolled through his phone, checking for any new messages.

There were no new messages on LINE, but on my feed, I saw that Aine posted a photo of herself observing the night sky, so it seems she had a lot of fun with the lights.

Besides that, there were all sorts of miscellaneous messages, mostly unimportant information.

The only slightly concerning thing is that Kita posted an update about tomorrow's assessment; hmm, he seems a bit nervous.

It seems I really need to give them a good talking-to tomorrow, to prevent Xingge, that stubborn tsundere, from making things unclear and upsetting the kids.

While Sose was taking a bath, Amamiya remained quite well-behaved in his room. He never touched other people's personal belongings, so he didn't take the opportunity to rummage through the wardrobe or drawers. He considered such behavior meaningless and likely to provoke others.

Shuangshi let him stay in the room because he trusted him, and he naturally wouldn't let Shuangshi down.

So when Sōse returned and saw Amamiya still scrolling through her phone in bed, without even changing her posture, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She was actually quite afraid that Amamiya would peek into her closet and see some of her underwear that she didn't want to show. Although her rational mind told her that Amamiya wasn't that kind of person, she still had some emotional worries.

Or rather... there's a tiny bit of anticipation, wondering if Amamiya would have a different opinion after discovering what she's really like in private.

Yeah, a masochist~

Shuangshi also got into bed, and the two chatted idly on the bed, mainly about school-related things, and some interesting things that happened at school.

Have you been chatting with Xiaomu lately?

But during their casual conversation, Amamiya suddenly said something that made Sase fall silent for a moment.

Xiao Mu...

"It seems there isn't any left. Are you still angry with her?"

Amamiya immediately guessed why Sōse was ignoring Mutsu: it was simply because Mutsu hadn't been on her side before, and then she'd given her a cucumber after Mygo's hugely successful live performance.

Amamiya learned about this from Hailin. He only knew that Mutsu had sent something to Mygo but it was returned, but he didn't know what it was. Later he found out that it was cucumbers that she had specially grown.

Of course, those cucumbers weren't wasted in the end; Hailin took them all, and even shared some with Amamiya.

Hailing was unaware that her actions had deprived Xiangzi of cucumbers; if she had received those cucumbers, she could have spent less money when she went out to buy groceries.

After all, once the cucumbers are picked, they're meant to be eaten, otherwise it'll be a waste. Mumu doesn't know many people, and since Shuangshi didn't accept them, only members of Mujica can accept this item. In the end, it'll most likely be Xiangzi who resolves the issue.

"It's not that I'm angry with her, it's just... why doesn't she ever come to see me?"

Qun祁灵VI ?II⑤ 泗榴拔祁?〇起“As expected, she’s angry~”

Shuangshi was indeed unhappy, but the reason for her unhappiness was simple—Xiaomu hadn't taken the initiative to communicate with her anymore.

Perhaps it's because of the problems in their relationship? Xiao Mu has always been a relatively weak group when communicating with others, so when others subconsciously communicate with Xiao Mu, they tend to overlook the fact that she tends to keep her problems to herself rather than express them.

Therefore, it is normal for Xiao Mu to ignore Shuang Shi. She usually prefers to be alone and ignores everyone.

It's unrealistic to expect Xiao Mu to apologize voluntarily, because that's not in her character.

Otherwise, why would Shuangshi be throwing a tantrum? I don't know if she really doesn't know Xiaomu's personality, or if she does know but just wants her to come to her and give her a way out. Anyway, she and Xiaomu are currently at an impasse.

I wouldn't say I dislike Xiao Mu, but I wouldn't say I like her either; I wouldn't say I'm indifferent to her either.

This feeling left her speechless, unsure of what words to use to describe her emotions. At that moment, she seemed like a spoiled little princess.

"Alright, alright, let's have a good talk with Xiaomu next Monday, okay? You know her personality, she's a real quiet type. If she makes a mistake, she'll just look at you from afar with her big, wet eyes and won't dare to come closer and say anything."

No one is one-dimensional; everyone is multifaceted, and multifaceted people's temperaments can change.

An easily angered person can sometimes handle things calmly, a cowardly person can sometimes become irritable, a reckless person can sometimes be quite meticulous, and a gentle girl like Sōse... sometimes wants to be willful and act spoiled.

Amamiya understood Sōse's thoughts, which is why he gently advised Sōse to stop throwing such a tantrum—because it was like talking to a brick wall.

Just like a girlfriend goes to great lengths to find a clueless guy who's completely oblivious to everything, he might not even notice. It's only when she honestly points things out to him that he suddenly realizes what's going on.

"Besides, she's been in a cold war for so long, her anger should have subsided by now, right? Shouldn't a good girl like Shuangshi give Xiaomu a new chance?"

"Don't talk to me like that!"

Amamiya Tomoe was amused by the words of Ryouki Saki, and she punched Amamiya with her little fist, feeling extremely shy.

For some reason, Amamiya's words "good girl" made her incredibly shy, and she seemed to have absolutely no desire to hear Amamiya say such a thing.

While laughing and joking around, Amamiya burrowed under the covers and obediently became a 'punching bag' for Sōse to hit. As she hit him, she kept praising Sōse, but those words tickled Sōse's ears, making her face turn even redder.

Her embarrassed and angry expression proved that she was not comfortable with these compliments at all. She punched Amamiya with her little fists. The force of her punches was soft and weak, just like her mouth. After punching for a while, she got tired and couldn't help but pant.

"Okay, okay, stop fooling around."

Sensing that the frequency of Sousei's hammering had decreased, Amamiya poked her head out from under the covers, looking at Sousei with a playful expression.

However, when he looked at Shuangshi, his expression gradually changed from being so smug to showing some surprise.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just think it's beautiful."

She was indeed very beautiful. Sōse, who had just taken a shower, still had a faint moisture on her body. While fooling around with Amamiya, her hair had stuck to her cheeks.

Her slightly messy hairstyle actually accentuated her gentleness, giving off a sense of brokenness that made her even more poignant.

Slightly out of breath, her lips were still red, and the blush on her face hadn't faded. Being stared at like that by Amamiya made her feel embarrassed, and she subconsciously looked down. Her shy appearance made her seem even more soft and sweet. When she came out of the blanket, she was indeed stunning to Amamiya at first glance.

This prompted him to speak from the bottom of his heart. The sentence seemed unremarkable, but the sincerity in it touched Shuangshi more than any of the previous compliments.

This sentence made Shuangshi speechless, and she became shy: "You really are... annoying to say such things, Lian."

For a moment, she didn't know how to respond to Amamiya, so she simply collapsed into his arms.

This guy is really annoying; he always says things that make her blush.

But she felt a sweet warmth in her heart, making her extremely happy.

Being so close together, they could actually smell each other's shower gel. Since they were both showering in the same bathroom, they naturally used the same shower gel and shampoo.

The smell of a similar scent can actually make people's imaginations run wild. Just thinking about how the other person and you just bathed in the same bathtub and used the same shower gel can give you the fantasy of indirectly bathing together.

Thinking about it simply, Shuangshi's legs couldn't help but rub together.

It's so itchy.

"Lotus~"

This time, Lian didn't use her usual hushed tone, but it was quite melodious and graceful. She looked at Amamiya, her eyes seemingly filled with mist.

"what happened?"

"I like you."

Sōse turned around slightly, put his arms around Amamiya, and pressed himself very close to him.

You could feel Amamiya's well-built physique. He didn't seem to exercise often, as he didn't have the muscles of a fitness enthusiast. But he wasn't overweight either. On the contrary, he felt quite nice to touch, neither too hard nor too soft, giving Sōse a very comfortable feeling.

"I really, really like you."

Sōse looked at Amamiya, completely mesmerized. She had forgotten that her mother was at home. She was clinging to Amamiya, looking at him very, very close.

"I……"

Shh...don't speak.

Sōse reached out and pressed his hand against Amamiya's lips, stopping him from saying what he was about to say.

"I know you might reject me, or you might say something ambiguous out of consideration for me. So I don't want to hear what you have to say; I just want to tell you my thoughts. If you say some things, things might never be the same again..."

Sōse knew perfectly well that it was because Amamiya had no romantic feelings that Amamiya could be so open and playful with him in bed, that Amamiya would take care of him when he was most vulnerable, and that Amamiya would help him without expecting anything in return.

That's why she didn't want to hear Amamiya's answer, because she knew that once some things were said, the relationship could never go back to the way it was.

But there are some things she doesn't say, and she feels stifled if she doesn't say them. So she wants to speak, but she doesn't want to listen. She just wants to transfer this pressure from herself to Amamiya.

"This might be my selfishness... I had to tell you this, to make it a burden for you. But I didn't want to hear your answer, I didn't want you to give me a disappointing answer. Actually, I just wanted to... keep this feeling, this happy feeling of being with you, to be able to talk to you at home about things I wouldn't dare to talk about at school, to say things I can't say on a normal day, to enjoy the care I don't usually get..."

Sōse rested her head on Amamiya's chest. She knew she was being selfish, but... people are inherently selfish, and she wanted to be a selfish person for once.

Outside, she always acted like a good girl, a caring older sister, but it was exhausting, really exhausting, and she longed to relax. But with Amamiya around, she could relax and feel happy.

Amamiya is different, she can confirm that. Amamiya is special, someone who can make her completely relax, someone who is different from everyone else.

Her heart did race when she was near Amamiya, and she did think about Amamiya when she was alone, even when she was alone in her room...

She would also call out Amamiya's name while gently rubbing him...

“I’ve always felt that we are kindred spirits, and I’ve always known that you’ve been taking care of me. I want to take care of you too, so… if you can lower your guard a little when you’re with me and relax with me, and I feel that I can help you, I’ll be very content. I cherish these moments, so I hope you can come to my house often, okay?”

Sōse looked up at Amamiya again, a tear nestled in the corner of her eye: "I don't ask for a lifetime, but I really hope you can stay by my side and be with me, okay?"

"……it is good."

Amamiya also hugged Sase, and the two embraced each other there.

He felt a pang of sympathy for Shuang Shi at this moment, wondering just how humble the other person must be to say such a thing.

Even if I want to be a little selfish, it's just something light and casual, something like hoping the other person can spend more time with me.

So many nights she spent in solitude, resting alone in this empty room. How she must have longed for a warm embrace.

Amamiya loved her dearly. At this time, Amamiya did not treat Sase as a child, but as a woman, a lonely woman who longed for warmth.

So this embrace was different from any other. Amamiya's body reacted before his brain could, and he hugged Sase tightly, the two of them pressed together.

"I like you……"

Sōse spoke softly again, and this time, after saying these words, she kissed Amamiya once more.

The two embraced and kissed each other passionately, looking so romantic.

Chapter 43 Emptying the Mind, Giving Up Thinking

"Cough cough cough..." "Are you feeling better?"

Amamiya took a tissue and wiped Sōse's mouth. He looked at Sōse with heartache, as it seemed to be the first time the other had done this, having vomited into the trash can for a long time.

I wiped away a trace of white from the corner of her mouth and threw the tissue into the trash can. Then I handed her some warm water to rinse her mouth and let her calm down.
