I have pure love with them

273. Gao Songdeng: What is his relationship with Shuangshi?

"What's wrong?"

Early in the morning, after waking up, Takamatsu Deng noticed that Chihaya Aine had woken up first and was sitting beside her, looking at her with strange eyes, which made Takamatsu Deng stunned for a moment. Feeling puzzled, she asked her softly.

Looking at Takamatsu Deng who had just woken up in front of her, Chihaya Aine's expression seemed a little subtle. She wanted to say something but stopped herself. But looking at Takamatsu Deng who had just woken up and had a sleepy face, she began to wonder if she was too sensitive.

"Nothing, it's just... I might be too sensitive. It's probably just my illusion. Did you rest well last night?"

Takamatsu Deng, who had already woken up, slowly sat up. After hearing Chihaya Aine's question, what happened last night suddenly emerged in her mind, and her face looked dazed.

"Ok?"

Looking at Takamatsu Touma who suddenly fell silent, a puzzled expression appeared on Chihaya Aine's face.

"Well, I've had a good rest... Wait, shall we go to school together?"

"Of course, but before going to school, you have to have breakfast. I'm going to the bathroom first. Do you want to come with me?"

Takamatsu Deng, who was sitting on the bed, shook her head slightly. After going to the bathroom once in the middle of the night yesterday, she didn't have the idea of ​​going again. Aiyin looked at Takamatsu Deng's answer, nodded slightly, and went to the bathroom alone.

After watching Aine leave the room, Takamatsu Deng sat alone on the bed, vaguely recalling what happened last night. He didn't feel shy, but felt that he might have caused trouble for Izumi who was in the next room.

'He was awake at that time, right?'

Pursing his lips gently and recalling what happened last night, Gao Songdeng couldn't be sure whether the other party's action was unintentional or he was just pretending not to wake up.

This was the first time in Takamatsu Deng's life that he encountered such a thing. He felt confused and didn't know whether he should tell Aine about it.

"..."

Can't speak.

Although Takamatsu Deng herself didn't think this was a particularly serious matter, she still found it difficult to talk about the fact that she walked into the wrong room at night and lay down on her friend's brother's bed.

When Chihaya Aine returned to her room, she felt confused when she saw Takamatsu Deng still sitting on the bed, seemingly in a trance.

"Ok?"

……

When the two girls came to the living room, Quan was already sitting at the dining table, having breakfast alone.

Takamatsu Deng, who came to the living room with Aine, looked away when he noticed Izumi. After looking around, he lowered his head and observed the ground.

"You got up really early today."

Aine walked into the living room and looked at Izumi who was already sitting at the dining table. She was a little surprised and walked slowly to Izumi's side. She looked at him and observed the expression on his face.

"Just follow your normal schedule. Besides, you still need to go to school, so this time is not too early."

Facing Aine’s face that was close to him, Izumi glanced at her, gently picked up the milk in front of him, took a sip, and looked at Takamatsu Touma who was standing next to Aine.

"Did you get a good rest last night?"

"Hmm? Ah... hm."

Takamatsu Deng, who was standing behind Chihaya Aine, didn't notice at first that Izumi was talking to her. After the atmosphere was quiet for a moment, she hastily raised her head. The moment she met Izumi's gaze, she quickly lowered her head and responded softly.

'So suspicious.'

This scene fell into Aiyin's eyes. She keenly realized that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She pursed her lips, frowned slightly, and observed the two people in front of her.

"Quan and Deng didn't have any dealings before, right? I haven't heard Quan talk about Deng before, and Deng is also... not familiar with Quan."

During the band activities earlier, Aine did not notice any communication between Quan and Deng. They looked like ordinary strangers. They even seemed relatively normal until yesterday. It was not until this morning that...

"You're not going to sit down to eat?"

Looking at Aine who was standing in front of the dining table, just staring at her but not saying a word, Izumi interrupted her thoughts.

Aine, who felt concerned, stopped thinking for a moment and stared at Izumi, her mind full of doubts, but she did not ask directly in front of Takamatsu Deng. She sat quietly in her seat and invited Takamatsu Deng to have the breakfast prepared by Mrs. Chihaya together.

After breakfast, the three of them went out together.

While walking on the road, Aine kept observing the expressions on Izumi and Takamatsu Touma's faces, as if she was trying to find out what was wrong with them.

"what happened?"

Feeling Aine’s gaze directed at her, Izumi returned her gaze and exposed her little thoughts.

"Nothing, I just thought you seemed very quiet today... I went to Goto's house yesterday, how was it?"

Out of trust in Takamatsu Deng, she felt that there should be no problem between the two of them, but from the details, she couldn't help but think in a bad direction. Now that Izumi took the initiative to ask, Aine struggled for a while but still couldn't ask.

"It felt... similar to the first time I went there. Her family was very welcoming, and Ichiri's sister, Erri, was also very cute. We stayed until the afternoon and then came back."

"Isn't there a photo of her sister?"

Hearing Izumi praising Ichiri's sister for being cute, Aine also became concerned.

"Don't you have Yili's contact information? If you're curious, can't you just go find her yourself?"

"It's possible, but it feels a little..."

After hearing what Izumi said, Aine showed a hesitant expression on her face, and she sighed softly, then looked at Takamatsu Deng beside her, wanting to talk about something that everyone could talk about.

"You keep in touch with Shuangshi, right? Do you know what Shuangshi is doing now?"

After her gaze lingered on Takamatsu Touma for a moment, Aine's eyes fell on Izumi and she asked him about Nagasaki Soyo.

"She didn't show up for band practice, and even when I contacted her, I didn't get any response... It feels like something has happened. Do you know what's going on with her now?"

When she heard Aine talking about Nagasaki Souyo, Takamatsu Deng pricked up her ears and glanced slightly towards Izumi. She also cared about Nagasaki Souyo.

At the same time, a doubt also emerged in her mind——

"Aine's brother... is he close to Soushi?"

274. Don’t get me wrong, you are the challenger

"She has encountered some things recently. She is not in the mood to think about the band for the time being. When she thinks things through, she may return to the band."

When Izumi heard Aine asking about Nagasaki Soyo and looked at her sister who had already tacitly acknowledged that she and Nagasaki Soyo had a close relationship, she couldn't explain the details of her question and answered her with a slightly perfunctory answer.

"Well...Lixi's temper has become even more irritable in recent times."

Due to Nagasaki Soyo's absence during this period, Shiina Tatsuki, who had originally noticed that Nagasaki Soyo was absent from the band's activities, became quite dissatisfied during this period and even began to contact other people to serve as the bassist in the band.

"She contacted a bassist she knew to replace Shuangshi who was away temporarily. She seemed to know you as well."

"Let Shuangshi calm down for a while."

Izumi already had an image of the bassist who temporarily replaced Nagasaki Soyo in his mind. He was probably Shiina Tatsuki's classmate, the famous "mercenary" Yawata Kairin in the industry.

However, Izumi had no intention of discussing the matter of Hachiman Kairin with Aine, and only spoke up for Nagasaki Shoyo.

"Well, that bassist is just temporarily replacing Shuangshi. I personally hope Shuangshi can return to the band as soon as possible. Without Shuangshi... hmm."

Originally wanted to say that Shiina Ritsuki had been secretly targeting her and Kaname Rakuna with his dissatisfaction during this period, but Takamatsu Touma was right beside her at the moment. If she said something bad about Shiina Ritsuki... No, it wouldn't be bad words, it's just that talking about others behind their backs would make Aine feel a little embarrassed.

After getting on the train, Quan looked around the car but did not see Toyokawa Shoko.

'Is the time off?'

Due to the different location of the school, Quan first left the tram and went to the school alone.

……

Watching Izumi leaving, Chihaya Aine slowly withdrew her gaze from the car window, and then looked at Takamatsu Deng who was sitting next to her.

"..."

Takamatsu Deng, who was still thinking about the relationship between Izumi and Nagasaki Souse, couldn't help but tremble in his heart after noticing Aine's gaze towards him. He pursed his lips and lowered his head slightly.

“Um, Aine?”

"I feel like there's something wrong with the lights today. Is there something you're hiding from me?"

Sitting next to Takamatsu Deng, Aine's body was slightly leaning towards Takamatsu Deng, her eyes fixed on her, and she whispered softly in Takamatsu Deng's ear.

The girl’s body, which was already tense due to nervousness, couldn’t help but tremble at Aine’s words.

"Sure enough! Are you hiding something from me?"

Seeing Takamatsu Deng's strange reaction, Aine immediately confirmed her guess. She pursed her lips and looked at Takamatsu Deng with a hint of scrutiny.

Although she didn't ask any further questions, Aiyin used her eyes to put pressure on Takamatsu Deng, causing Takamatsu Deng to feel conflicted.

“Yesterday… at night, while Aine was asleep, I went to the bathroom alone… and when I came back, I accidentally went to the wrong… room.”

After hesitating for a long time, and seeing that Aine had already noticed something was wrong, Takamatsu Deng felt that the matter could not be concealed any longer. She did not want Aine to misunderstand her, so she took the initiative to tell her what happened last night.

"what?"

I thought that it was some 'Lucky O Wolf' incident that happened when Takamatsu went to the bathroom and ran into Izumi by chance, but after hearing what Takamatsu said, Aine looked at Takamatsu beside her with an expression of disbelief.

Considering Takamatsu Tomo's personality and the rationality that Izumi showed in front of her, Aine thought that something force majeure had happened without her knowledge, but she didn't expect that Takamatsu Tomo himself had made a terrible, low-level mistake.

Aiyin's surprised voice made Takamatsu Deng lower his already lowered head even further.

"...And then? Did anything happen in Quan's room?"

The surprised "ha" just now attracted some dissatisfied looks from some people. Aiyin pursed her lips, lowered her voice, and asked Takamatsu Deng quietly.

When she asked the question, Aine couldn’t help but get nervous.

“…Nothing happened. I noticed that it wasn’t Aine’s room, so I came to my senses and returned to the room.”

"..."

The evasive look made Aine silent.

She really wanted Gao Songdeng to explain. If nothing had happened, why was there such an obvious aura of Quan on her?

But Takamatsu Deng himself didn't want to say it, and judging from the situation, it wasn't a serious problem, so Aine didn't ask any more questions.

"Isn't this a good thing for Quan?"

Aine, who had been concerned and felt that something was hidden, silently prayed in her heart. But now she put aside her doubts and comforted Takamatsu Deng who was beside her.

……

"Chihaya-san, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

He walked into the classroom and sat down in his seat. Not long after that, the class monitor, Akatsuki Koji, walked slowly to his desk with a smile on her face and spoke to him softly to confirm.
