I have bound two systems.

"No la……"

"So what is it?"

"It's about my sister..."

Ijichi Kouka looked at Suzumiya Chisato's expression and continued.

"What does Suzumiya-kun think of her sister?"

Suzumiya Chisato was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Hong Xia with a rather strange look.

"How do you see it...what do you mean?"

"Well, in all aspects, what kind of personality does my sister have, what is her work level... and so on."

"Did Sister Xingge ask you to ask?"

"How could that be? I'm just simply curious."

Ijichi Hongxia was smiling, but her expression made it seem like she was hiding something on her mind. It was not like what she said, that she was asking this question just out of curiosity.

This made it impossible for Suzumiya Chisato to not think too much about it.

Did Hongxia know something inadvertently?

.........

Chapter 119 Study Session is underway

"No, there's nothing special about it. I'm just asking casually. Just answer it casually. There's no need to think about it for so long."

I have to say that Ichichi Kouka is almost completely incapable of hiding her feelings.

Just being stared at suspiciously by Suzumiya Chisato, he immediately panicked and tried to justify what he had just said.

However, this unnecessary behavior not only failed to stop Chisato Suzumiya from thinking, but instead made her more certain that her guess was correct.

Hongxia must have noticed something, otherwise she wouldn't have behaved so uncharacteristically today.

Suzumiya Chisato thought a lot in an instant.

However, he was not troubled by the current situation for long.

Adhering to the principle of not acting rashly without understanding the situation, he answered Hong Xia's questions in an official and superficial manner.

"My opinion of Sister Xingge... Of course I am very grateful."

"gratitude?"

"Well, at the beginning, I lacked the necessary expenses for living, and she took me in to work in the store. She often gave me a raise for a poor student with all kinds of unfounded reasons. To be honest, I once thought that such a kind-hearted store manager only appeared in those warm fairy tales that were out of touch with reality."

"It's not that exaggerated, Suzumiya-kun, you did an excellent job, otherwise I wouldn't have done that."

Hongxia felt honored to have her sister praised so highly. Her good character and upbringing made her subconsciously humble for her sister.

Suzumiya Chisato smiled and shook her head, not continuing to talk about this point in depth.

"Of course, it's not just because of this. Sister Xingge also helped me a lot in other aspects. For example, although she was very demanding of us, saying that we had to sell a certain number of tickets before she was willing to let us use the stage in the performance hall, in fact, before everything was confirmed, I saw her secretly adding the name of the closing band to the performance list."

“There is such a thing.”

"Because it's not important, I didn't tell you at the beginning."

"Indeed, if I think about it carefully, it does have my sister's work style."

"I have much more to thank Sister Xingge for. To be honest, the work she is doing now has helped me a lot. If she hadn't been there to share the work, I wouldn't be able to be as calm as I am now and prepare lunch for you."

Ijichi Kouka looked at the profile of Suzumiya Chisato with the corner of her mouth slightly raised.

From her perspective, his expression was sincere and honest, and he didn't look like he was lying at all.

In fact, by this point in the conversation, Hong Xia had already felt somewhat relieved.

Because from what Chisato Suzumiya said about her opinion and feelings towards her sister, there was no trace of emotions like liking or admiring that might develop into a relationship between a man and a woman.

It is a relatively mild and warm friendship...or in other words, an emotion that transcends friendship and is infinitely close to family affection.

Hongxia was a little unsure, but in her heart, she and her sisters, the members of the band, and Chisato Suzumiya, although Chisato Suzumiya had some... habits in her personal love life that were difficult to comment on.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as it does not violate the law, as long as it does not affect other people, and as long as the specific parties have no objections, it can be ignored.

After all, who doesn’t have a few quirks or shortcomings?

They are each other's indispensable and most precious friends.

Hongxia even once hoped that after graduating from high school and entering society, everyone would be like the protagonists in the American TV series "Friends", living very close to each other, being able to step into other people's homes without any sense of boundaries, and laughing and playing with each other all day long.

That was the future she dreamed of.

The reason why she is now struggling here to do some things that she is not very good at is just because she hopes that there will be no obstacles in the process of moving towards such a future.

After listening to what Chisato Suzumiya said, Hongxia now felt a little relieved. She believed that he would not do anything to hurt anyone.

But even so, she still wanted to seek a guarantee.

"Suzumiya-kun, will we all...be like we are now, laughing and joking together every day without any interruptions?"

"Most likely not."

Suzumiya Chisato shook her head directly, which made Hongxia's breathing stagnate, but the other party's next words immediately made her feel at ease.

"I plan to make the Ending Band a world-class superstar. When your school life is over, it is highly likely that you will not be able to be as leisurely as you are now."

"What? Just say it all at once!"

"Haha, sorry, sorry."

Hongxia retracted her fist without actually using much force.

For her, the result of the test was a happy ending. After all, she did not see from the content and attitude of Chisato Suzumiya's answer that he had any such thoughts about his sister.

That's good. It's only the sister's one-sided desire that is unsatisfied. Sooner or later she will choose to give up because she doesn't get a response.

After achieving her goal, Hong Xia did not continue to test, but began to help Suzumiya Chisato at ease.

In the second half, Yudai and Yili also came to help. After working for nearly an hour, the prepared meals were served on the table.

After finishing their meal and resting for a while, the four members of the band started studying again.

There is no other way. Time is tight and I have to study hard.

At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Yidi Chixingge even called via video to check on their learning progress.

Chisato Suzumiya pointed the camera of her mobile phone at them and turned it around. Only then did she hang up the call with satisfaction.

During this time, Hongxia had quietly observed the way Suzumiya Chisato and her sister talked, but she didn't notice from his expression or eyes that he had the same affection as when he looked at Ichiri.

At this point, she had truly put her worries to rest.

Not long after Ichichi Hoshige hung up the phone, Suzumiya Chisato, who was leaning on the sofa, yawned for the second time.

He didn't have the habit of taking a nap, but he lazily leaned on the sofa at home and watched the other four people concentrating on doing the questions. No one talked to him, which did make him sleepy.

"Yawns are contagious."

Yamada Ryo scratched his face with the end of a pen and looked at Suzumiya Chisato who was speaking.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I'll control myself."

"No need, if you're sleepy just go to the bedroom and take a nap."

Yamada Ryo's suggestion was echoed by the other three.

"Yeah, go and rest, Chisato."

"Don't worry, we won't be lazy."

"I'm not worried about that. What if you guys have questions that you don't understand..."

"If there is a problem, the four of us will solve it internally. If we really don't know how to solve it, we will call you."

"OK then."

Liang Gong did not continue to refuse, mainly because he was indeed a little sleepy and wanted to take a nap.

He got up and left the living room, went back to the bedroom and lay down, leaving the door ajar so that if they called him, he would be able to hear the noise in the living room more clearly.

However, given their sensible personalities, that kind of thing is unlikely to happen.

I guess this will be a pretty restful nap.

Backfired.

Who made the band end up with a rather unstable factor.

As expected, an accident happened.

His consciousness gradually became blurred, and he didn't know how much time had passed. When Suzumiya Chisato was half asleep and half awake, he felt an uncomfortable chill in his abdomen and then woke up slowly.

He tilted his head and saw Yamada Ryo squatting beside the bed, reaching his hand under his quilt.

When she saw him wake up and look at her, she gave him a rather harmless smile.

Because of those inexplicable questions that Hongxia asked her in the kitchen before, Suzumiya Chisato did plan to ask Yamada Ryo what was going on. After all, the two of them were in the same school and were inseparable most of the time. She might know a little about Hongxia's thoughts.

But this was not what he wanted right now. It was a chance for the two of them to get along and communicate.

Chisato Suzumiya felt the direction that Yamada Ryo's cold little hand was moving, and the next moment she stood up and grabbed her hand out.

He also saw it from the corner of his eye

"what are you doing?"

"I want to be close to my dear after such a long time."

"Not long ago, when we were eating out..."

No, we can't let her lead us by the nose.

Suzumiya Chisato leaned forward, approached her and pinched her face, deliberately making a fierce expression.

"Although I agree with your previous suggestion to some extent, it does not mean that you can do this. The three of them are in the living room outside. What if they suddenly break in and find out...what are you thinking!"

"It doesn't matter. I've already thought of a countermeasure in case of exposure."

"What countermeasure?"

"This is it."

Suzumiya Chisato let go, and Yamada Ryoya lowered his head and took out a marker from his pocket.

"I left saying I was going to the bathroom, but even if they found me in your room, I could have just said I was trying to play a prank on you."

She used an unopened marker to gently draw on Chisato Suzumiya's face.

Suzumiya Chisato looked at the rather complacent Yamada Ryo and managed to say something after a long while.

"You are really wise."

"Thank you for the compliment. Not only does this make perfect sense, it also fits my personality very well."

"..."

Suzumiya Chisato sighed helplessly with her hands covering her forehead.

Taking advantage of the moment when Suzumiya Chisato was distracted, Yamada Ryo sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to hold his fingers. The corners of her mouth raised slightly and an unnatural blush appeared on her face.

Suzumiya Chisato let her hold his hand and gently rubbed it on her cheek. After a while, he exhaled slightly, and just when he was about to withdraw his hand and let Yamada Ryo stop, she suddenly said,

"Before in the kitchen, did Hong Xia behave abnormally, or did she say something intriguing to you?"

Suzumiya Chisato narrowed his eyes. This sentence made him realize that Yamada Ryo seemed to know something, so he skipped the unimportant confirmation step in the middle and asked directly,

"What happened to Hongxia?"

Yamada Ryo did not answer his question, but seemed to be talking to himself,

"Yeah, it's just as I thought. Even if I said that, she would still be worried..."

Suzumiya Chisato was confused by what he heard. He asked impatiently,

"worry about what?"

Yamada Ryo shook his head.

"For girls, some things are not so easy to say. I am Hong Xia's friend and I don't want to expose her privacy."

"Then why did you say that? And you acted like you wanted to clear up my confusion!"
