I have pure love with them

"No, I just wanted to ask you if you like children. Also, didn't I meet Shuangshi's mother last time? I talked to her about many things. Although she is an elder in status, her mentality is surprisingly young. We had a lot of common topics when we talked."

"..."

Looking at Izumi in front of her, Aine was silent for a moment, then slowly stretched out her right hand and gently touched Izumi's forehead.

"Are you okay? Did something happen to you? I don't have anything to do right now, and the doctor is still at get off work. Can I go with you to get a physical examination?"

Feeling Aine’s tangible and gentle little hand on his forehead, Izumi’s lips curled up into a faint smile, and he gently held Aine’s little hand and took it from his forehead.

"At that time, we talked about a lot of things, including Shuangshi's childhood. When she was little, her personality was completely different from now. It sounded very cute, so sometimes I wonder, how many children do I have to give birth to someone as cute as Shuangshi?"

There was nothing wrong with the first part, but when it came to how to give birth to a child as cute as Souyo, Aiyin thought Izumi was going to add a sentence - 'I want to give birth to another child as cute as Souyo with her.'

Feeling as if she was being teased by the person in front of her, Chihaya Aine felt a little depressed and dissatisfied, but she couldn't put it into words, so she stared at Izumi for a while.

"So, are you two dating?"

After a pause, Aine added another sentence.

"You and Shuangshi."

"I don't have any problems for now, but I'm not sure about Shuangshi's situation. If you have any questions, you can try to ask her. Also, do you care so much about my relationship status?"

Raising his left hand, he gently tapped Aine's forehead with his index finger, then Izumi opened his door, walked past Aine in front of him, entered his room, and before Aine could react, he closed his door, leaving the girl standing alone at the door, looking very depressed.

"and many more!"

Aine, who hadn't gotten a satisfactory answer yet, wanted to continue asking about Izumi's relationship status, but she found that Izumi had locked the door and she couldn't get in.

Aiyin knocked on the door twice but got no response. She went back to her room in a depressed mood.

Listening to the footsteps gradually fading away at the door, Quan sat down at his desk and slowly started doing his own things.

……

"Yili, do you like children?"

It was still during the lunch break. Izumi and Goto Ichiri were sitting in the library. While Goto Ichiri was still thinking about how to start the conversation with Izumi, the person next to her asked her a question that surprised her.

In an instant, countless thoughts emerged in Goto Ichiri's mind. She was analyzing the purpose of Izumi's question, so much so that in Izumi's eyes, she looked dazed.

Izumi, who knew Goto Ichiri's character, did not disturb Goto Ichiri's thoughts, but just waited quietly for the girl to stop her brainstorming.

Seeing Goto Ichiri's face gradually turning red, after a moment, she carefully peeked at the expression on Quan's face out of the corner of her eye, and then whispered her answer.

"I don't hate it...but I don't know if I like it."

She didn't know what answer Quan wanted, so after thinking for a long time, she gave an ambiguous answer, but this answer was almost exactly what she thought.

The child that Goto Ichiri interacts with the most is her younger sister. But if you ask her whether she likes her younger sister, she cannot give an accurate answer.

“Not all questions in this world can be answered with yes or no. Sometimes, not knowing is also a good answer.”

Hearing Goto Ichiri's answer, Izumi smiled and replied.

He had asked Aine the same question before, but Aine didn't give an answer, so he was a little curious about how Goto Ichiri would answer this question.

She didn't answer with "like" or "hate", which didn't surprise Izumi. In addition, Goto Ichiri's answer seemed to be consistent with her personality.

How could a person who hardly interacts with other people in his life answer such a question?

"Where's Izumi-san?"

Seeing that Izumi did not express disappointment with his answer, Goto Ichiri felt relieved, but at the same time he became curious. Not knowing what Izumi's answer would be, he opened his mouth and asked.

"Hmm? As for me, I like children with good personalities. I'm sure I'll like children like Ichiri."

"Eh?"

The girl was stunned, and her cheeks became hot.

242. Aine: What if I really find out something?

When facing Goto Ichiri, Izumi would occasionally have a subtle sense of déjà vu.

"Now all the conditions have been met. Among Ichiri's friends in the class, the only person she can truly rely on is me. Even if she joins the band, I am the only one who can give her a sense of security in school. So at this time..."

If she is ignored for a while, she will probably fall into a state of panic...

Immoral thoughts appeared in Quan's mind. He wanted to blame it on his own and Nagasaki Soushi's plan, as he had not yet broken away from the character image he had created over the weekend.

"Have you told uncle and aunt about what happened over the weekend?"

Looking at the girl beside him, Quan talked to Ichiri about what he had talked about with her before.

"This weekend...ah, I haven't told you yet, Izumi-san, are you really going to come to my house this weekend?"

Stopping his fantasy of 'Izumi holding his childhood self', Goto Ichiri looked at Izumi beside him and asked with some surprise.

"I don't mean to dislike Izumi-san...but it's troublesome to go back and forth from Tokyo to my house..."

"Didn't I visit Yili's house last time? And I promised Erli that I would visit her again. Even if it's just to fulfill the promise with Erli, I should visit Yili's house, right?"

Looking at Izumi's serious expression, Goto Ichiri was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly. He always felt an itch in his heart and wanted to say something to Izumi, but he found that he couldn't say anything. He could only lower his head silently, looking at his hands tucked in his sleeves, and fell into silence.

"What on earth is this... this unwilling feeling in my heart... Izumi-san is right beside me, why can't I say anything... What on earth should I say?"

In fact, I know very well what I want to say, but I am afraid that simple sentence will shatter everything I have now.

She chose to back off.

As long as they don't take that step, two people can become friends for life.

It was as if there was a ravine of unknown depth blocking her and the spring, and when she was about to step forward, the width of the ravine would change accordingly, making Goto Ichiri unsure whether she should take that step.

Just when she was confused, a hand suddenly appeared in front of her.

"..."

She raised her head and looked at Quan who was looking at her with a smile beside her.

In the other person's eyes, her figure was reflected at this moment.

"Now, I am alone..."

Pursing his lips slightly, Goto Ichiri hesitantly extended his hand, which was tucked in his sleeve, and it fell into Izumi's palm.

Contact, hold.

When my hand was held tightly by Quan.

'Peace of mind...'

Goto Ichiri felt an incomparable sense of security.

"su..."

"Ok?"

"Class is about to start. I'll go to the classroom first!"

When Goto Ichiri was about to say the words, he thought of the unpredictable consequences and his body trembled involuntarily. He quickly withdrew his hand from Izumi's palm, stood up, and quickly fled the library.

"..."

Seeing Goto Ichiri hurriedly fleeing the library, Izumi, who was left alone, smiled softly.

"The plot in the comics isn't completely fictional."

……

After school, Chihaya Aine followed the message in the LINE group and came to 'RiNG' early, but did not see Shiina Riki.

"Deng, didn't she come with you?"

The familiar voice of Nagasaki Soushi came from behind, causing Aine to tense up for a moment, and then she slowly turned around to look.

Nagasaki Shoyo, wearing the Tsukinomori school uniform, was standing behind her with a smile.

"I... haven't joined any clubs at school, so I don't need to do anything. Deng has club stuff to do, so she'll be here later. Shuangshi came early."

Thinking back to the questions she had asked Izumi yesterday and Izumi's answers, Chihaya Aine found herself somewhat afraid to look directly at the girl in front of her.

"Ok?"

She noticed that when Aine asked her, her eyes were wandering and looking at the ground. This strange reaction made her a little confused.

"Izumi-kun, have you told her?"

Although she was somewhat worried and doubtful as to whether Quan had told Aine in front of her about his plan, she obviously did not feel comfortable opening her mouth when Aine did not take the initiative to talk about the matter.

"I haven't joined any clubs at school, so I just came here directly. So, shall we sit together for a while and wait for the others?"

"Ah."

Aiyin, who was doubtful in her heart, nodded and did not reject Nagasaki Soushi's suggestion.

They came to the 'RiNG' coffee shop together, and after sitting down, Nagasaki Soyo ordered black tea as usual, while Aine ordered a glass of juice after thinking about it.

"In the past, Quan Jun would often come here with different friends, but in recent times, he seems to have not come here."

The only common topic between Nagasaki Soyo and Chihaya Aine, apart from the band-related content, is Chihaya Izumi.

Seeing that Aine seemed to be a little out of shape today, after sitting down, she did not take the initiative to find topics to chat like usual. The silent atmosphere made Nagasaki Shoyo a little uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to find topics to chat.

It was these words from Nagasaki Soyo that made the silent Aiyin slowly raise her head and look at Nagasaki Soyo in front of her with complicated eyes.

"I see."

"..."

Nagasaki Souyo was smiling, but the smile on his face froze for a moment.

"Hmm? What did you find out?"

If it was other people in the band, after hearing "I know", it might not have had any effect, but for Nagasaki Shoyo, who had concealed many facts from everyone in the band, it was hard not to feel nervous.

"..."

Aine was not in the mood to pay attention to the expression on Nagasaki Soushi's face. Her own mood was quite complicated at the moment. She bit her lips tightly, frowned, and struggled in her heart.

"Do you really want to ask? What if you really ask something?"

Even though she had received answers from Izumi so many times, Aine herself didn’t know what she was doubting about.

But... if they are just ordinary friends, would they really keep each other's hair on their arms?
