After completing all the preparations, he came to Aine's room and knocked gently on the door.

dong dong——

“Aine?”

He called his sister's name softly into the room, but no one responded. Quan, who was standing at the door, frowned slightly.

'Not at home?'

He walked slowly into the living room. There was no one else in the living room. His parents were outside, and Aine was nowhere to be found. Alone, Izumi put on his shoes and went out as well. Before he left, he sent Aine a message saying that he was going out.

When the door was closed and Izumi had been out for a long time, in Chihaya Aine's room, the girl lying on the bed slowly opened her sleepy eyes.

The girl felt something cool at the corner of her mouth. She wiped it with the back of her hand and then realized what it was. Her originally groggy brain suddenly became clear and she sat up in bed instantly.

Looking at the sticky liquid on the back of her hand, she grinned in pain, then looked down at her pillow.

"... Fortunately, not many."

Without caring about her pajamas that had fallen to the ground, she walked to the desk with her bare white feet, took out a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth and the back of her hands. After wiping them clean, she put it to her nose and sniffed gently.

"Hmm...no taste."

Nodding with satisfaction, the girl stretched her waist and arms, then lifted her curtains and looked at the weather outside.

"Wow, the sun is so bright, it feels so hot."

Although she was indoors and had air conditioning, she could feel the scorching heat of the sun shining through the window on her just by standing in front of the window. It was hard to imagine how much sweat she would sweat if she went out in such weather.

"What time is it now?"

The girl, murmuring softly, slowly returned to the edge of her bed, picked up her cell phone, checked the current time, and an expression of surprise gradually appeared on her face.

"It's already noon?!"

She recalled what happened last night, looked towards the trash can, then slowly retracted her gaze, bit her lip, sighed softly, and a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.

"Forget it, it's all in the past, let's think about what to do today."

After adjusting her mood, Chihaya Aine left her room, tidied up her personal appearance and hygiene first, then returned to her room, took off her pajamas, put on her daily clothes, and then pushed open Izumi's door.

After entering her brother's room, she wanted to confirm today's lunch, but was stunned for a moment.

"Not here?"

She slowly returned to her room, picked up her phone again, and opened Line. Only then did she notice that her brother had left her a message.

"Going out..."

His mood inexplicably became bad. Nagasaki Shoyo bit his lips, lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, groaned, and decided to go out himself.

"Deng, you should rest at home today. See if she has anything to do, and then go shopping with her."

The girl murmured in her heart, made a decision, and sent a message to Takamatsu Deng.

……

After meeting Nagasaki Soyo, Izumi accompanied her out for lunch. After lunch, the two returned to the apartment. When they were alone, Nagasaki Soyo was very proactive. Before Izumi could say anything, she had already taken Izumi's hand and pulled Izumi into the bedroom.

Just when Izumi was about to speak and tell Nagasaki Soushi not to be so anxious and to take a rest first, Nagasaki Soushi entered the bedroom, let go of Izumi's hand, walked slowly to the closet, and under Izumi's gaze, gently opened the closet.

"Before the holiday, I asked someone to customize a batch of clothes. They were completed during my vacation at the beach. I asked them to deliver them here in the morning. How are they? Are they suitable for me?"

Nagasaki Shoyo picked out a Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy uniform from the closet and put it in front of him, then asked Izumi with a smile.

Previously, Nagasaki Soushi had already customized a school uniform for Yugaoka, but unexpectedly, during this period, he also customized a school uniform for Hanasakigawa, which is the school uniform of Shiina Tatsuki and Kaname Rakuna.

His eyes fell on Nagasaki Soushi, and Izumi, who was standing in the bedroom, had a slightly subtle look on his face.

He didn't have much interest in Hanasakigawa's uniform, but he looked past Nagasaki Soushi in front of him and at the closet behind her. There seemed to be a lot more clothes in it. In addition to the school uniforms, there seemed to be a lot of other styles of clothes.

"Tsuki no Mori's clothes seem to suit you better, but Hanasakigawa's uniforms... well, they are a bit novel."

Walking slowly to the side of Nagasaki Soyo, Izumi looked at the other clothes in the closet, stretched out his hand, and gently lifted them. He found that in addition to some common clothes, there were also clothes for shrine maidens, nurses, maids, cheongsams, evening gowns, Christmas dresses... There was everything, and the dazzling array made Izumi a little dazzled for a moment.

"Did you prepare all this?"

"I think Quan will like it."

Hanasakigawa's uniform was placed on the bed. Under Izumi's gaze, Nagasaki Shoyo slowly walked to the closet, squatted down, and opened the drawer. Inside were socks of different styles and colors.

"..."

Looking at the preparations Nagasaki Soushi had made for him, Quan was speechless.

"You spent a lot of your savings, didn't you?"

"It didn't cost much, and I don't have any expenses. As long as I can make Quan happy, I'll be satisfied."

Under Quan's gaze, the girl slowly stood up, clasped her hands together, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

Before Quan could answer, she slowly picked up a small square box, placed her index fingers on both sides, and slowly displayed it in front of Quan.

"Ok?"

Looking at Nagasaki Soushi's actions, a confused expression appeared on Quan's face. He felt that there was something wrong with the girl in front of him, and it was nine out of ten times wrong.

Faced with Izumi's puzzled expression, Nagasaki Shoyo did not explain anything, but slowly approached Izumi and pushed him down.

……

"What's wrong, Aine-chan?"

Seeing Chihaya Aine suddenly looking up at the horizon, Takamatsu Tomori, who was about to go to the bookstore with her, had a confused expression on his face.

Chihaya Aine, who was being stared at by Takamatsu Deng, frowned slightly, turned around and looked at Takamatsu Deng beside her, her expression full of confusion.

"Yeah... I felt like I heard Quan's voice just now. Could he be nearby?"

After looking around but not seeing Izumi, Chihaya Aine did not continue looking.

"Forget it, maybe it's just my illusion."

Chihaya Aion, who looked indifferent, gave up looking for Izumi and spoke to Takamatsu Touma beside her, while Takamatsu Touma looked at Chihaya Aion with a slightly envious look.

“Aine… and Izumi-kun have a very good relationship…”

"Again? It's just average, right?"

"I... am a little envious."

As an only child, Deng Takamatsu has no older sister or older brother, so when she saw Chihaya Aine and Izumi getting along, she began to have some admiration for her brother in her heart.

424. You are not on his 'recipe'

Sometimes, even Izumi couldn't guess what Nagasaki Soyo was thinking.

During this period, her overly proactive and positive behavior made Quan vaguely aware that Nagasaki Soushi had some purpose, but he was not sure what it was specifically going to be.

'One person drains all my energy... probably not.'

Nagasaki Soushi was completely exhausted and his body could no longer bear it. He fell into a deep sleep in the bedroom. Izumi returned to the living room alone, sat on the sofa, and looked at the blue sky outside the window. He suddenly wanted to light a cigarette for himself.

"But unfortunately, generally speaking, few people will sell to minors."

If Quan wanted, there were naturally many ways and means for him to get cigarettes and alcohol, but... compared to normal situations, he was not craving for cigarettes and alcohol. It was only when he was sitting in the living room and his emotions calmed down that this idea emerged.

Quan, who had just sat down on the sofa, stood up again, poured himself a glass of water, and sat back on the sofa. While sipping the water, he was thinking about what to do next.

Because a message had been sent to Toyokawa Shoko in advance, there was no need to worry that she would show up in the apartment today and meet Nagasaki Souyo, causing any unpleasant incidents to happen between the two who already had a connection.

"Wait until later in the evening and go back to meet her again."

He whispered that he had not yet paid Shoko Toyokawa the money she had allowed him to stay and work here while he was on vacation.

He turned his face slightly towards the bedroom, thinking of Nagasaki Soushi who was resting in the bedroom. He did not plan to stay in the apartment overnight. Even though both families knew about it, there was nothing he could do if they really had to stay in the apartment overnight.

Since Nagasaki Souyo was already exhausted just now, he didn't think that the other party would be able to fully recover by the evening.

He slowly leaned back on the sofa, thinking about how Aine didn't respond to his knocks on the door today when he was leaving. A thoughtful expression appeared on Quan's face, and he considered what his sister might be thinking at this moment.

I don't know when it started, but guessing what his sister is thinking has become a daily routine for Quan. Even when Aine chose to go abroad, he would still think about what Aine would think when she was abroad.

'If she were to go out, the only friend she could contact would probably be Takamatsu Touma. She and Takamatsu Touma have a good relationship... and Takamatsu Touma also has a good impression of Aine.'

Takamatsu Deng herself does not have any particularly strong desires, and naturally does not have any ideas, but Aine is a person who has many ideas, and she also takes other people's feelings into consideration. It is precisely because of their stable personalities that they can get along more harmoniously.

'If two people go out, there are only a few places they can go. I just don't know if they will spend the night together tonight.'

Aine had spent the night at Takamatsu Tomori's house before, but that time there was a group of people staying at Takamatsu Tomori's house, and Aine was the only one there. Izumi didn't think that his sister would stay the night at someone else's house.

As he was thinking, Quan felt a little tired and looked towards the piano in the living room.

"call……"

With a light sigh, at this moment he actually wanted to listen to Toyokawa Shoko's playing.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Nagasaki Soyo woke up in a daze, and Izumi stayed with the girl in the apartment for a while until the girl recovered some spirit. He accompanied Nagasaki Soyo and sent her back to her home.

"Dinner, I've prepared it for you, I'll be back first."

"Don't you want to stay and join us...?"

Nagasaki Shoyo looked at the dinner prepared for him, took off his apron, wiped his hands, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.

She thought Quan would stay and have dinner with her, but now she suddenly heard that Quan was leaving. She didn't understand why he didn't stay for dinner before going back.

"No, today, I will go back first."

"..."

Nagasaki Shoyo looked at Izumi who had put away her apron and walked to her side. She seemed to want to say something, but Izumi leaned down and gently kissed the corner of her mouth, stopping her from saying anything.

"gone."

"……Um."

Nagasaki Soyo originally wanted to say something, but facing Izumi's gaze, she could only remain silent and watch Izumi walk towards the door and disappear in front of her.

Sitting alone at the dining table in the living room, looking at the dinner that Izumi prepared for her, Nagasaki Soushi felt a little bored for a moment. After tasting Izumi's cooking, she saved some of it and put it in the refrigerator, then went back to her room to rest.

……

"You look a little tired?"

In the agreed restaurant, Toyokawa Shoko's eyes fell on Izumi and noticed that his eyelids were slightly drooped and he did not look very well. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered to the person in front of her.
