I have pure love with them

Looking at Wakaba Mutsu who was blocking his way, Quan, who was getting into the role of the villain he was playing, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Let go... now that she's asked, do you want to stay?"

Chuckling softly, Izumi looked down at Nagasaki Soushi, whose slender shoulders he had his arm around.

"Is this Quan Jun's method? He intends to use this image to leave an impression on Xiao Mu? But... isn't it too...?"

Nagasaki Shoyo, who has gradually adapted to the unfamiliar Izumi and figured out Izumi's thoughts, feels a little complicated. He did not expect that Izumi would appear in such an image.

"Won't it look like too much effort?"

Nagasaki Shoyo couldn't help but feel worried, fearing that Quan's sudden appearance and words and actions would arouse Wakaba Mu's suspicion.

But in order to cooperate with the person next to him, Nagasaki Shoyo had a conflicted expression on his face, and with a little force, he held Wakaba Mutsu's hand tightly, looked at Wakaba Mutsu hesitantly, then bit his lips silently and lowered his head.

His right hand was held by Wakaba Mutsu, and Nagasaki Shoyo grabbed Wakaba Mutsu's hand with his left hand, then freed his right hand.

"Sorry, Xiao Mu, let's stop here for today. I have other things to do and can't continue shopping. See you at school tomorrow."

His left hand gently held his right hand, and a forced smile appeared on Nagasaki Shoyo's face. He looked at Wakaba Mutsu, but his eyes drooped to the ground with guilt.

"..."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ruo Yemu pursed his soft lips, frowned slightly, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

'If she hadn't joined the band, joining the drama club would have been a good choice, right?'

Staring at Nagasaki Soyo with cold eyes and watching her answer, Quan's gaze then fell on Wakaba Mutsu. He suddenly thought of many classic villains' victory speeches, but the moment before he opened his mouth, he felt that it was too vulgar, so he just smiled faintly, put his arm around Nagasaki Soyo's shoulders, and walked towards the station.

Ruoye Mu, who was left behind, watched the two people leave. She stood alone on the street, looking lonely and desolate...

"Do you think this will work?"

While riding the subway, after confirming that Wakaba Mutsu could no longer keep up with the two of them, Nagasaki Shoyo looked at Izumi beside him and asked softly.

"The other person's mother is a famous actress. I don't know if my acting skills can fool her. Maybe in her eyes, the cooperation between the two of us is like the gorillas in the zoo. It's not impossible. Of course, Shuangshi is definitely a good-looking gorilla."

"...Quan Jun, even for me, it is difficult to accept such descriptions and jokes, so please be careful."

When hearing Izumi use the word "gorilla" to describe himself, even though Nagasaki Soyo was already quite pessimistic at the moment, he couldn't help but get angry. A stiff smile appeared on his face and he reminded Izumi beside him.

240. Nagasaki Shoshi, I really like you

"When you're angry, Shuangshi seems more real than your usual self. Very cute."

But facing the angry Nagasaki Soyo, seeing her showing such real emotions, Izumi slowly raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a faint smile, which made Nagasaki Soyo frown.

She really wanted to ask the other party, weren't the emotions she had expressed in the past real enough?

But at the moment before she opened her mouth, she held back.

She pursed her soft lips and her usual formal smile appeared on Nagasaki Shoyo's face, her eyes fixed on the expression on Izumi's face.

"Come to think of it, I was also frightened by Quan Jun's reaction just now... For a moment, I didn't know which one was the real Quan Jun, before or just now."

No girl can accept being described as an "orangutan" by a boy, even if it's just a metaphor, so Nagasaki Shoyo chose to use something similar as a counterattack, staring at the expression on Izumi's face, wanting to see Izumi's defense.

"So, which one does Shuangshi like?"

But the person being questioned was just someone else. Under the gaze of Nagasaki Soushi, Izumi's expression did not change at all and she asked back with a smile.

"..."

Facing Nagasaki Soushi, whose body suddenly tensed up but who was unable to answer, Izumi chuckled.

"Whether Ye Mu believes it or not, it won't have any impact. All Ms. Fengchuan needs to do is provide proof of our 'close relationship' when she confirms with her. That will be enough."

He withdrew his gaze from Nagasaki Souyo and brought the topic, which had already deviated, back on track.

"The whole process is not important. The only key is Ms. Toyokawa and her ideas."

"...I don't need to do anything next?"

Nagasaki Shoyo slowly clenched his hands, looked at Izumi's profile beside him, and asked hesitantly.

"Well, I'll take care of the rest."

"…Then, I'll leave it to you."

For some reason, Nagasaki Shoyo felt that he didn't care so much about Toyokawa Shoko now. After hearing what Izumi said, he didn't have any expectations in his heart. After arriving at the station, he left the tram alone.

Watching Nagasaki Soyo leave, Izumi raised his head and looked towards the platform he was currently on.

"It's the Minato area... the train is going in the opposite direction."

……

"When he said he was going out, he must have gone to meet a girl again, right? Shuangshi didn't say anything in the group... How can we be assured that they have no relationship at all when they meet so frequently?"

Lying in her room, Chihaya Aine held her mobile phone in both hands, staring at the message she had sent in the Line chat group not long ago.

She was not surprised that Shiina Ritsuki did not make any movement. It was a while after she sent the message that Takamatsu Deng responded. Kaname Rakuna sent a cute cat emoticon, and the rest of Nagasaki Soyo was the same as Shiina Ritsuki, with no reaction at all.

'Are the two of them together now? If I send a message to Shuangshi alone at this time, and then send a message to Quan alone...'

She even wanted to make a video call to Quan to see where they were and ask them a question -

"Can I join you-Ahh!!!"

Complaining depressedly, Aine threw away the phone in her hand, turned over and buried her face in the pillow. As her breathing became difficult, those chaotic thoughts gradually disappeared from her mind. Her slender legs kicked on the bed, making a dull sound.

After a long time, she stopped moving, then turned over again, and stared at the ceiling of her room with her opened eyes.

"It's not just Souyo... Ichiri too, and Mio too... It's so annoying! Are there no other boys in this world? Why does everyone seem to be staring at Izumi..."

Aine couldn't calm down because of the inexplicable irritation.

"Oh, really!"

dong dong——

There was a sudden knock on the door, and the distracted Aiyin's mind went blank for a moment. She seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water, and she calmed down instantly.

'Did mom hear it?'

The inexplicable panic made Aiyin even breathe cautiously, and she looked towards her door nervously.

"I am back."

A familiar voice came from the door.

The nervous Aiyin relaxed instantly and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then, with a dissatisfied expression on her face, she hurriedly climbed up from her bed, wearing white cotton socks and slippers, and came to the door of the room.

He opened the door, poked out a pink head, looked around, and found that Quan had already walked to the door of his room.

"Ok?"

Izumi, who heard the door opening, turned around to look in the direction of Aine’s room, and her eyes met with Aine who was looking at her.

Aine, who had been waiting for Izumi's return, suddenly avoided Izumi's sight guiltily, but then she quickly remembered that she had no reason to feel guilty, and met his gaze again.

"Is the matter settled?"

"temporary."

"…Are you going out later?"

"I guess I won't go out. Do you want to go out?"

Facing Quan's question, Aine walked out of her room, came in front of Quan, stared at Quan carefully for a while, suddenly narrowed her eyes, fell on Quan's arm, and stretched out her hand.

"Ok?"

Following Aine's gaze, Izumi looked at his sleeve, and then he noticed a long brown hair.

"..."

Picking up the long hair on her sleeve, Aine brought it in front of her and stared at it carefully for a while. She raised her head and looked at Quan again.

There was no expression on his face, but his eyes seemed to be asking him - is there anything he wanted to explain?

"..."

Facing Aine’s gaze, Izumi resisted the attraction that Aine’s cute expression had on him and silently averted his gaze.

"No relationship?"

Her voice was rhythmic and seeing Izumi's 'guilty' reaction, Aiyin, who was already somewhat dissatisfied, slowly moved in front of Izumi, ready to get his 'confession' from his mouth.

"Is this Shuangshi's hair? Would it normally stick to your arm? Did you... hug Shuangshi?"

After adjusting his state of mind a little, Quan looked back at Aine in front of him, noticing that she seemed to be very concerned about his relationship status, and had a look of 'I've caught you with evidence' on her face. Even if he explained, the other party would not believe what he said, so he decided to go with the flow.

He glanced behind him, as if to confirm that there was no one else, and then turned to look at Aine in front of him. A hint of hesitation appeared on his face, and then he pursed his lips and slowly spoke——

"Um...Aine, do you like children?"

241. I'm talking about Shuangshi's mother

Aine was about to answer "I don't hate it" but when she noticed that the question Izumi asked at this moment didn't seem to have anything to do with the previous content, she couldn't help but think about it.

"Children... His relationship with Shuangshi has something to do with children? No... Wait... If that's the case, then..."

Chihaya Aine was startled, as if something was blocking her throat and breathing became difficult. She stared blankly at her brother in front of her with an expression of disbelief.

Just when he was about to ask Quan to confirm his relationship with Souye, he suddenly remembered that his brother and Nagasaki Souye had known each other for less than a month. Under normal circumstances, would someone have an...inappropriate relationship when they just met?

'Besides, Shuangshi didn't just see someone who looked good, nor was she just a casual person... Even if she liked this guy, she definitely wouldn't do it right away... She's lying to me!'

After realizing something was wrong, she quickly analyzed the situation in her mind, and after coming to a conclusion that she could accept, Aine regained her composure.

"You, don't mean to say that you and Shuangshi already have a child, right?"

Seeing that Ai Ne, who was originally full of dissatisfaction, now had clear eyes again, Quan's goal could be considered to have been achieved.

Previously, Aine obviously thought that Izumi was dating Soushi and had an intimate relationship with him that she didn't know about. Even if Izumi himself explained it, it would probably be difficult for her to believe it. So Izumi chose to do the opposite and used an ambiguous statement, which aroused Aine's rich imagination and made her fall into a situation that was more exciting and unacceptable than the previous relationship. In this unacceptable situation, she regained her sanity and clarity.

In short, it is intensification and expansion.

Using a situation that is even more unacceptable than the relationship between Quan and Shuangshi, she is forced to deny herself.
