"You still have to go home tonight. I will stay with you before you go home."

Nagasaki Soyo, who was already sleepy, smiled faintly after hearing what Izumi said. She raised her fair and smooth arms and stretched out her hand towards Izumi.

"hug me."

"..."

Faced with the request made by the girl and noticing the sleepiness she showed, Quan walked slowly to her side, lay down beside her, and gently embraced her warm and delicate body. The girl slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep in Quan's arms.

Izumi, who was tightly hugged by the girl, lowered her head slightly and could smell the fragrance of camellia between Nagasaki Sose's hair.

After the girl began to breathe softly and evenly, Izumi, who was being embraced, was not in a hurry to leave the bed. She was also somewhat greedy for the warmth that Nagasaki Soushi relied on.

Only when he felt a little thirsty and the girl had fallen into a deep sleep did Izumi move his body gently and get up from Nagasaki Soyo's bed little by little.

He walked out of the other person's room quietly, came to Quan in the living room and poured himself a glass of water, then came to the spacious floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at this bustling and noisy city from a high place.

"..."

Looking at the towering buildings under the sunshine, Quan thought a lot, but in the end it just turned into a light sigh, and then he silently returned to Shuangshi's room.

After putting on his clothes, he looked at Nagasaki Souyo who was resting on the bed. He slowly walked to the edge of the bed, leaned over and gently kissed the girl's forehead, then turned and left the room.

"sun……"

By the time we left the apartment, the scorching sun high in the sky had begun to set, but the temperature had not dropped much, and walking on the road still made people feel hot.

Not knowing whether his sister had returned home or not, Quan, who did not really want to go home at the moment, stood on the street and thought for a moment, then changed his itinerary from going home to going to the apartment.

'It's quieter there, let's go there and rest for a while.'

Wanting to listen to Toyokawa Shoko's piano playing, Izumi pushed the door and walked into the apartment alone. He walked to the sofa, sat down, covered his eyes with his arms, and took a long breath.

As soon as he entered the apartment, the temperature in the room had not dropped yet. After sitting on the sofa for a while, Quan stood up again and walked towards the bathroom of the apartment to shower himself, while waiting for the temperature in the apartment to drop.

When Quan came out of the bathroom, the temperature had become cooler.

"When I'm alone, it's hard to think of what to do..."

After pouring a glass of juice, Quan sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.

He opened Line and his eyes fell on the profile picture of Toyokawa Shoko. After a brief thought, Quan sent her a message, asking if she was free now.

[One hour later]

Toyokawa Shoko's answer was quite brief.

After replying with a "hmm", Quan put down his phone, lay down on the sofa, closed his eyes, and still let sleepiness invade him. He lay down on the sofa and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

"Click——"

The sound of the door opening was heard, and Quan, who was lying on the sofa, slowly opened his eyes. His sleeping body had not yet recovered. He barely propped himself up and looked towards the door. A dignified and elegant blue-haired girl slowly walked into the living room.

When she walked into the living room, she happened to see Izumi raising his head. His sleepy and lazy posture made Toyokawa Shoko stunned.

"Greetings, Mr. Quan."

"...Ah, hello."

Looking at Shoko Toyokawa who appeared in the living room, Izumi quickly recalled what he had done before going to bed. He leaned back on the sofa, his eyes lowered as he watched Shoko Toyokawa walk into the living room.

"Sorry, I just woke up and haven't recovered yet. You can pour the tea yourself."

Her eyes fell on Izumi. After hearing what Izumi said, Toyokawa Shoko frowned slightly, but she was not angry at Izumi for asking her to pour the tea herself.

"Quan Jun, were you just lying in the living room to rest like this?"

"Uh-huh."

He looked at Toyokawa Shoko in confusion and found that the other person had a serious expression, which made Quan a little puzzled.

"With this temperature, it's easy to catch a cold if you rest in the living room... Besides, Quan Jun should have taken a shower, right?"

Toyokawa Shoko glanced towards the bathroom, then stopped at Izumi and asked.

"..."

Unexpectedly, Toyokawa Shoko was actually worried about catching a cold. Izumi, who was sitting on the sofa, reached out and gently stroked her hair, then nodded slightly.

"It's true that it's easy to catch a cold. I'll be careful. I'll go to the bedroom to get some clothes. You sit down and rest for a while."

"..."

Under the gaze of Toyokawa Shoko, Izumi slowly walked into the bedroom.

But when Quan came out of the bedroom, Toyokawa Shoko did not sit down to rest, but still stood quietly in the living room, which made Quan a little confused. His eyes fell on the girl, and he did not invite her to sit down again. He walked silently to the kitchen counter and started to make tea.

"Quan Jun, which song do you want to hear?"

"Let's go with the same song as before."

Quan, who was making tea, turned around after hearing Toyokawa Shoko's question. The girl had already sat down in front of the piano. Facing the girl's question, Quan thought for a moment and gave an answer.

The girl sitting in front of the piano placed her hands on the black and white keys and played the song "The Girl with Flaxen Hair".

Soft and soothing music can soothe one's soul. Quan, who was making tea, listened to the piano music played by the girl. His expression gradually became leisurely. He silently poured two cups of tea and sat back on the sofa.

After two consecutive piano pieces, Quan invited Toyokawa Shoko again.

This time, Toyokawa Shoko did not refuse. She sat down on the sofa silently and drank tea with Izumi.

The work here is easy and simple. Sometimes Toyokawa Shoko would forget that she was working here. Her eyes would quietly fall on Izumi. Only when she received the payment from the other party would she remember that this was her job. At the same time, a sense of melancholy would arise in her heart.

'How long can such a work and life last? '

After retracting her gaze, Toyokawa Shoko lowered her eyes and remained silent.

"Maid uniform."

Quan's voice sounded in the living room. Toyokawa Shoko raised her head and looked at the boy in front of her. Quan put down the teacup and looked at Toyokawa Shoko.

"It will probably be delivered in the next two days."

"……Um."

Shoko Toyokawa had no expectations for the maid uniform, but she agreed just for the extra income and because the person in front of her was Izumi.

"She's not coming?"

After answering, Toyokawa Shoko was silent for a moment, then asked Izumi.

"She has band activities."

The conversation between the two was a little ambiguous.

Just after hearing Quan's answer, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but pursed her lips and fell into silence.

"Let's go back together later."

"……Um."

……

Under the night sky, two people walked under the street lights.

Originally, Quan should have left one stop earlier, but at this moment he was staying by Toyokawa Shoko's side.

'Are you worried about my safety?'

Even without asking, Toyokawa Shoko knew in her heart that Quan was doing this to protect her safety. The girl pursed her lips and walked on the road with her head down, feeling very complicated.

'If not...'

In the silence, the figure of Nagasaki Soyo emerged in Toyokawa Shoko's mind.

"I shouldn't be thinking about these things right now... I have more important things to do now."

Biting her lips subconsciously, Toyokawa Shoko felt her dusty heart begin to loosen again.

"It's just ahead."

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko stopped and looked at the apartment building in front of her.

My originally conflicted emotions completely calmed down when I saw where I live now.

"Thank you."

Hearing Toyokawa Shoko's cold and firm voice, Quan looked at the girl beside him and clearly felt that the other person's temperament was different from before.

"It's just a side trip. Well, good night."

"Ah."

The two looked at each other. Toyokawa Shoko only looked at Izumi for a moment, then she took the lead in retracting her gaze, walked towards the house, and under Izumi's gaze, she pushed open the door and entered the house.

Just before the door closed, Toyokawa Shoko looked at Izumi and nodded slightly as a farewell, and then the door was closed.

Standing under the street light, looking at the closed door, Quan couldn't help but think of her who had thrown the beer can before.

Shaking his head slightly, Quan went back home.

……

"You're not coming back tonight?"

When Izumi returned home, he learned that Aine was staying overnight at Takamatsu's house, and it seemed that Shiina Tatsuki was also there.

"Yeah, I just called back."

After receiving the news, Quan nodded slightly, and then returned to his room alone.

Even though it was just one night, Izumi still felt a little lonely when she thought about Aine not being at home tonight and staying alone in the room.

Sitting in front of the computer, Quan thought for a moment. Without knowing whether Nagasaki Shoyo had woken up, he sent a message to Goto Ichiri...

At this moment, at Takamatsu's house.

The three girls were sitting together. Shiina Tatsuki originally wanted to use this opportunity to let the other two participate in the creation of the new song, but after chatting for a while, Shiina Tatsuki gave up.

Takamatsu Touma is better at writing lyrics, while Chihaya Aine simply likes to "make trouble". She always likes to add some strange melodies to the songs, or add some content that is homophonic with her name when writing lyrics.

"No... It's a complete waste of time to be with this guy. I'd rather handle it on my own."

His eyes fell on Chihaya Aine, and Shiina Riki no longer had interest in continuing to create, so he put away his tools and turned his gaze towards Takamatsu Deng.

"Ok?"
