I have pure love with them

He looked around the room and saw a cell phone emitting a faint fluorescent light on the desk not far from him. He sat up slowly in silence and reached out to pick up his cell phone.

He glanced sideways at the lying Mio and saw that she didn't react, which made Quan even more certain that she was pretending to be asleep.

He didn't take it too seriously. He lay down again, holding his phone in both hands, swiped to unlock the screen, and clicked on the sudden message. He was a little surprised to find that it was from Nagasaki Sose.

"I thought it was the girl next door, who was going to stick to tradition and say goodnight to me on her cell phone even though she was next door... but it wasn't her."

Although Quan is not a person who pays much attention to rituals in life, he still has a sense of ritual for some things in his heart. His expectations for Goto Ichiri also arise from this.

Seeing that the message was not from Goto Ichiri, Izumi's eyes lost some of their expectations, and he calmly read the message from Nagasaki Shoyo -

[Last time, there was something I didn’t talk about with Quan Jun. That was after meeting Xiangzi, she said something like “I wish you happiness” when she left. Was it something Quan Jun said to Xiangzi?]

The sleepiness gradually faded away, and Quan was a little surprised when he saw the message sent by Nagasaki Shoyo.

[No, just told her that you really wanted to meet her]

While replying, Quan couldn't help but think. Judging from the news about Nagasaki Soyo, he seemed to have been regarded by Toyokawa Shoko as standing on Nagasaki Soyo's side.

"Happiness... thinks that Nagasaki Soushi and I are dating? No, why would she have such a strange idea?"

He had not told Toyokawa Shoko about his relationship with Nagasaki Soyo before. He only admitted that he had some relationship with Nagasaki Soyo when they met for the last time, and hoped that Toyokawa Shoko could make peace with Nagasaki Soyo. But now it seems that he was completely misunderstood by Toyokawa Shoko.

[Does it really take 10 million yen to bring Xiangzi back?]

Just as Izumi was thinking about what he could do about this misunderstanding, Nagasaki Shoyo sent another message.

Looking at the content of the message from Nagasaki Shoyo, one can see the girl's confusion. She has begun to waver and is no longer as sure as before that she can get Xiangzi back to the band.

[If you were to give 10 million yen to Xiangzi, she would not accept it because she has her own pride. Moreover, 10 million yen would only allow her to enjoy a short period of freedom. She may no longer be the person you remember. However... I have a way to repair your relationship with Xiangzi. If you are interested, can we meet and talk tomorrow?]

The corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and Izumi couldn't help laughing, but considering Mio lying in his arms, Izumi just pursed his lips and watched his message being sent without saying a word.

"My relationship with Xiangzi?"

Lying in bed, Nagasaki Soushi was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, as loneliness gnawed at his heart. She just wanted to ask Izumi what he and Toyokawa Shoko talked about last time that made Toyokawa Shoko say "I wish you happiness". However, she didn't expect to see something in Izumi's reply that she couldn't believe.

"Can he... bring Xiangzi back again?"

Murmuring softly, Nagasaki Shoyo was doubtful in her heart, but she couldn't suppress her expectations. She bit her lip, stared at the content on the screen, and after thinking for a long time, she silently gave a reply.

[Tomorrow, after practice, we will have some time to meet and talk in detail]

From the brief contact, she didn't think Chihaya Izumi would deceive her. At least under the current circumstances, he would only politely refuse things that he couldn't respond to, but he had always been very honest about things that he could do. Coupled with Nagasaki Shoyo's own expectations, she chose to believe Izumi.

She wanted to see what methods Quan would use to repair her relationship with Xiangzi and get Xiangzi to return to the band.

"Did you agree?"

Izumi, lying on the bed, was not surprised at all when he looked at the message sent by Nagasaki Soyo. As long as he sprinkled the "bait" about Toyokawa Shoko, Nagasaki Soyo would definitely bite his fishing hook like a "croaker".

'I just don't know how long this life can last?'

Once Nagasaki Soyo completely loses hope in Toyokawa Shoko, he will never care about anything related to Toyokawa Shoko again.

Looking towards the wall, Izumi was curious whether the current Aine could enter Nagasaki Soushi's heart.

194. Save...

'Asleep?'

Lying in Izumi's arms, Tokinoya Mion slowly raised her head, opened her tightly closed eyes slightly, looked up sideways, her gaze fell on the familiar face, and she pursed her lips slightly.

Originally, she was just dozing off, but while waiting for Izumi to fall asleep, Tokinoya Mion herself fell asleep without realizing it. If she hadn't suddenly dreamed that she missed the opportunity because of oversleeping and suddenly woke up from the dream, she would probably have really lost this rare opportunity.

Although Quan was generally willing to go along with her, there were some things that Quan would not agree to as long as she asked.

"That girl called Goto Ichiri, the way she looks at Izumi-san is so strange, so suspicious... I can't go out, I can't always be by his side, and I don't know how many girls are pestering him, if..."

She stared at Quan's sleeping face. If she could keep Quan by her side, she would be willing to give birth to a child. But based on her understanding of Quan, if she did so, she would probably lose him completely.

"As a younger sister, I can still stay by Brother Quan's side. If I do something reluctantly, Brother Quan will completely hate me."

Not reconciled.

She didn't want to stay by Quan's side as a younger sister, even though she was still young, but she already knew very well what this sour and depressed feeling in her heart meant.

"Under normal circumstances, you would definitely be rejected, right? But now..."

Mio, lying in bed, moved her body gently, making rustling sounds. Her legs were unable to move, but with the support of her body and hands, she still moved closer to Quan little by little. She could feel Quan's breathing and his heartbeat. She slowly moved in front of Quan, feeling the breath from Quan.

"Just once, just once, I..."

Looking at Izumi's lips, Tokinoya Mion closed her eyes and gradually moved closer to Izumi, but before her soft lips could feel the touch, she heard a sudden movement in the quilt, and then something blocked her way.

She opened her eyes blankly and met Quan's gaze.

"Sleep well."

"...Aren't you asleep?"

Tokinoya Mion looked at Izumi who had opened her eyes, her face froze, and then she looked extremely lost.

"Well, I was worried that you wouldn't be used to sleeping here, Mio, so I didn't sleep too deeply."

"…Is it not possible for me?"

Tokinoya Mio couldn't help but purse her lips, raised her cute cheeks, and looked at Izumi in front of her unwillingly. Izumi smiled gently, and with the hand in front of her, he gently scratched her fair and smooth little nose.

"You are still a little young now. Wait until you are older and then consider this matter."

Facing Tokinoya Mion's question, Izumi answered with a smile, but the content of her answer made Tokinoya Mion feel no sincerity. She silently clenched her pink hands, lowered her head, and said nothing.

Seeing that the girl was getting depressed, Quan reached out and hugged Tokinoya Mion, just like he did when he held Aine when she was little. He held her gently in his arms, and stroked her soft hair with his hands, comforting the girl in his arms in his own way.

Biting her lip, Tokinoya Mion tightly grasped the collar of Izumi's pajamas with both hands, feeling unwilling but helpless.

In the dead of night, she fell into a deep sleep with a tangled and lost mood, while Quan focused on the girl in his arms. After she fell asleep, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing how to describe his feelings.

"The development is not as exciting as I imagined... Mio is still quite naive, I thought she would do something yandere, but from what I can see so far, she is just a little paranoid... The only person she can see is me, besides her mother and Shun, so it's not surprising that she is a little paranoid."

Looking at Tokinoya Mio's long brown hair, he was a little curious. If Mio dyed her hair pink, she would look a bit like Aine.

“Aine…”

Feeling a little helpless, after Tokinoya Mio fell asleep, Izumi also slowly sank into his own dream...

The next day, when Mio woke up, she didn't show any particular disappointment as usual, which surprised Quan.

After taking care of the girl and getting her out of her bed, they had breakfast together in the living room. Aine asked Goto Ichiri to continue teaching her about guitar, while Izumi accompanied Mio for a walk on the street outside. After noon, Izumi sent Tokinoya Mio back to her apartment.

"Wait, Brother Quan... There's no one else at home right now, so..."

After Izumi sent her back to the apartment, just as Izumi was about to leave, Tokinoya Mion reached out and grabbed Izumi's sleeve, looking at him with expectant and pleading eyes.

"..."

Looking at the girl's small hands tightly grasping his sleeves, and then looking at the girl lying on the bed, afraid of being alone, he slowly squatted down, put his hand on her head, gently stroked the soft hair, and looked into her eyes.

"You are not capable of that right now, and your brother and mother will notice the details, so let's talk about it later."

It seemed like a rejection, but it also left some possible ambiguous answers, which made Tokinoya Mio's heart tremble suddenly. She watched Izumi stand up in front of her, then waved to her gently and left the apartment.

"Now... no... later, when will it be possible..."

When the door was closed, Tokinoya Mion sat alone on the bed, lost in thought. She looked out the window, gazing at the blue sky, thinking about Izumi's answer just now, whether he agreed to her meaning.

After leaving the apartment, Quan looked back at the apartment behind him and let out a long sigh of relief.

"If Shun hears this, I'm afraid I'll be banned from entering his house from now on, right?"

The apartment where the Tokinoya family lived was not very big. If they really did something to Tokinoya Mio in such a small apartment, it would be easy to leave some traces, and then Tokinoya Satomi and Tokinoya Shun would find out...

“Aine will kill me, right?”

Shaking his head, Quan looked at his mobile phone, then read the message sent by Goto Ichiri, and silently returned home.

Due to the band's reasons, Aine went out after lunch at home, and he sent Mio home, leaving Goto Ichiri alone in his home for the time being.

Originally, Goto Ichiri was planning to go out with Izumi, but Izumi's mother said she wanted to talk to her, so she stayed back.

[save……]

Looking at the short message from Goto Ichiri, Izumi already felt the deep despair she was currently feeling.

"Maybe I was asked some strange questions."

Shaking his head, Quan walked towards home.

195. Why don’t you reply to me?

"Are you okay?"

When he got home, he saw that his mother seemed to be in a good mood, while Goto Ichiri was sitting on the sofa, trembling, like a kitten that had just been "ravaged", making people feel pity just looking at him.

So, when Izumi returned home, after seeing Goto Ichiri's attitude, she led her out of the living room and invited her into her room.

After she sat down, Quan didn't rush to ask her what questions she was asked, but instead showed some concern for her first.

"Ah...it's okay, it's just..."

After entering Izumi's room and being surrounded by a familiar atmosphere, Goto Ichiri, who was originally uneasy, gradually relaxed. After hearing Izumi's concern, a warmth surged in his heart. However, when he answered Izumi, he suddenly thought of Mrs. Chihaya's previous question, and a faint blush appeared on his face. He didn't know how to answer.

"How far have you and Izumi progressed so far?"

'He is an introverted child who is not good at expressing his feelings, so there is no need to hesitate. When necessary, you can take the initiative.'

"My husband and I both like Ichiri very much. It would be great if Ichiri could marry Izumi in the future."

Rather than chatting, it was more like Mrs. Chihaya was trying to persuade her, completely encouraging her to confess her feelings to Izumi, to date him, and even -

"Get married..."

Seeing Goto Ichiri blushing and not saying anything, Quan guessed the general situation. He turned his head to glance in the direction of the door and let out a soft sigh.

"Well, you can probably guess what she said to you, but don't take it too seriously. Just do what you want."

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri, who was still shy, couldn't help but raise his head after hearing what Izumi said.

"Izumi-san, do you know?"

"I guess I just hope that you and I can become closer, right? I invited you to stay here before, and this incident, so my parents probably think we are dating, right?"
