I'm not a womanizer for Chihaya Aine

Aiyin's sight towards Qing's smooth thighs was suddenly blocked. She realized her mistake and quickly looked away, and happened to see the fish tank not far away.

At this time, there were no fish in the fish tank because Aiyin had gone abroad before. There was only a tank of clear water, which just happened to reflect the two people looking at the fish tank at the same time. Both of their expressions seemed unnatural.

Qing saw Ain's gaze shift from the reflection in the fish tank, silently picked up the skirt, and politely declined: "No, I remember the way, don't let uncle and aunt wait for us too long."

Having said that, Qing quickly left the room, leaving Aine alone in the huge room.

Ain was relieved after Qing left. Although she and Qing had completed the finger-hook oath, when Ain knew that Qing had the courage to make up his mind to abandon his past and everything about her just to give her true love, Ain no longer cared about the fact that Qing approached her for other purposes.

For her, the actual meaning of the finger-crossing oath lies more in Qing's attitude towards her. She is reluctant to give up the memories she spent with Qing. Although it is only three days of memories, it is also an unprecedented wonderful experience for Aiyin.

Therefore, Aine's favorability towards Qing had already risen to a higher level before the "reset". Just now, Aine really had the urge to hug Qing and rub her face against him.

But this won't work, Qing takes their relationship so seriously, and Aine has to cooperate with Qing, so as not to waste Qing's determination.

While Aiyin was daydreaming, Qing had already left the bathroom when she changed her clothes. Aiyin went to the bathroom to take a look but did not see Qing, but did see a wet skirt on the clothes rack nearby.

"Did you forget to take it? Or did you just hang it here and take it after dinner? I'll remind her later."

Aine muttered to herself and headed to the living room.

When I came to the living room, I found Qing already sitting at the dining table, chatting with her smiling mother, and her father would say a few words from time to time.

Aiyin was surprised that Qing could chat with her parents so harmoniously. However, based on Aiyin's observation of Qing in the past few days, she knew that Qing was not the kind of person who was not good at communicating with others. On the contrary, Qing was actually very good at conversation, and the fact that he could dominate against Su Shi and Li Xi was proof of this. The reason why Qing gave people the impression of being quiet and difficult to approach was simply because Qing felt that there was no need to talk seriously with most people.

Mrs. Chihaya first noticed Aine coming downstairs. She smiled and asked Aine to sit next to Ao's seat. By the way, Ao's seat was the seat Aine usually sat at when eating. Ao didn't know she was sitting at Aine's seat, which Aine could understand, but it was obvious that her parents didn't remind Ao where to sit. In fact, seeing her mother's cheerful look, Aine had reason to suspect that Ao sat at her seat because of her mother's instigation.

But Aine didn't say anything, she just felt a strange feeling. However, after sitting down at the table, Aine's feeling became stronger. Qing became the focus of the table. Mom would pick up some food for Qing from time to time, asking her how it tasted and if she could eat more. Although Dad was just drinking soup, he would smile and cater to her when he heard Mom and Qing chatting.

That’s right, it felt like Qing was their daughter, and Aine was the guest at home, and a neglected guest at that.

Did my parents approve of Qing a little too quickly?

The dinner ended with laughter and joy, and Aine was not completely absent from the meal. For example, Mrs. Chihaya asked about the relationship between Aine and Ao, but Aine and Ao, who had just said that they wanted to abandon their past relationship and start anew, didn't know how to explain their relationship at this time, so they could only be vague. But for some reason, when Mrs. Chihaya saw Aine and Ao avoiding the topic, she smiled meaningfully.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I should probably go back soon."

Qing bowed slightly to express his gratitude to the Chihaya couple.

Mrs. Chihaya smiled and waved her hand and said, "It's okay. We welcome good children like Xiaoqing. It's getting late. How about staying here for a night?"

Qing shook his head gently, glanced at Aiyin who was sitting next to him, and said, "No, I have something important to do."

If they don't say goodbye, they won't be able to meet again, so in order to start a new encounter as soon as possible, Qing must say goodbye to Aine today.

Mr. Chihaya stood up and said, "I'll drive you there. It's much more convenient than taking the train by yourself. It's also a way of thanking you for taking care of Aine."

Qing was not someone who was afraid of causing trouble for others, so there was no reason for her to refuse Mr. Chihaya. She nodded and thanked him, "Okay, uncle. Thank you for your help."

Chihaya-san was ready to leave at any time because he hadn't eaten, and Ao had no intention of staying at Aine's house any longer, so they left immediately.

Before leaving, Qing turned back to look at Aine and said to her solemnly: "Well... Aine, goodbye."

"Well, goodbye, Qingqing."

Aiyin smiled and said goodbye loudly to Qing.

Chapter 56: Annoyance, Existence, and Friendliness.

After sending Qing away, Aiyin returned to her room, but she was still thinking about Qing.

Imagining their first encounter again, worrying whether Qing would take the initiative towards her like before, and looking forward to entering into a more intimate relationship in the future, the girl's heart was as uneasy as if in a chaotic war.

"That won't work. You say you want to forget everything, but isn't it impossible to forget everything?"

Aiyin paced back and forth in her room, feeling somewhat resentful of herself for not living up to her expectations. Couldn't she stop thinking about that person all the time?

"Practice the piano."

Aine had to do something to relax herself and divert her attention.

So Aiyin opened the guitar teaching video and took out the guitar. When she took out a pink pick out of habit, Aiyin inevitably fell into stillness again.

After being in a daze for a long time, Aiyin shook her head as if she had just woken up from a dream. When she noticed that her phone, which she had paused after opening the video, had been turned off, she couldn't help but sigh, unlocked the phone again, picked up her guitar and started practicing.

It's a pity that the practice progress is not smooth. No matter how hard I play, I feel like I can't play it to the score.

"Huh? It seems that there is something wrong with my playing. It seems that I just forgot to tune the strings."

After playing for a few minutes, Aiyin finally came to her senses and realized belatedly why she played so terribly.

"That's right. I ran and jumped with my guitar on my back on the way home today. It's normal that I need to re-tune it."

Ai Ne paused the tutorial video again while saying this, took out the tuner and started tuning the strings.

Most musical instruments need careful care, but Aiyin didn't do well in this regard today. Although she didn't run on the street with an electric guitar on a rainy day and finally dropped the guitar on the ground, her strenuous exercise with the guitar on her back would still affect the pitch of the strings.

But the reason I was running and jumping was because of Qing. If I were going home alone, I would have returned home quietly... Well, if Qing hadn't insisted on sending me home today, I would have always been suspicious of Qing and kept my distance from her, right?

Hey, why did you think of Qing again?

Aiyin puffed up her face and turned the string knobs impatiently, but as a guitar novice, she still needed to calm down to tune the strings. The more impatient she was, the worse it was for her to tune the guitar, and the worse it was for her to tune the guitar, the more impatient she became. In the end, Aiyin put down the guitar.

"Let's take a shower first..."

For Aiyin, taking a bath is a good way for her to relax. Whether she is in a good mood or a bad mood, she likes to take a bath to make her mood better.

But when she came to the bathroom and passed the toilet, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a skirt hanging on the clothes rack. It was then that Aiyin remembered that Qing seemed to have forgotten to take her skirt back.

"I forgot to remind Qing... But, this is Qing's skirt..."

Aine walked over to the clothing rack, picked up Ao's skirt, and began to examine it.

Well, it was the same as her school uniform skirt, nothing special, even though Aoki was about ten centimeters taller than Aine, the size of the skirt wasn’t much different. In fact, there was nothing good about it, and Aine didn’t know why she picked it up to look at it.

Just when Aiyin was holding Qing's skirt in a daze, someone came in from outside. Aiyin subconsciously put the skirt behind herself and turned to face the door.

Mrs. Chihaya pushed the door open and saw Aine sneaking around. She tilted her head and asked, "Aine, are you here to use the restroom?"

Aiyin also reacted when she saw that it was her mother. Why was she panicking? She was the only one with her mother at home, and her mother didn't know that she was holding Qing's skirt... No, even if she knew, it wouldn't matter, as she didn't do anything strange.

"Ahaha, it's nothing, I just forgot some clothes here... Mom, you need to go to the bathroom, I'll leave first."

Aiyin smiled awkwardly and raised the skirt in her hand, then quickly left the bathroom.

But after coming out, Aiyin felt a little bit at a loss as to what to do with the skirt in her hands. After thinking about it, she decided to just throw the skirt into the wash with other clothes as if it were her own skirt. She would consider whether to exchange it with Qing later depending on the situation.

Although Qing has left Ain's house, Ain always feels that Qing's shadow seems to be everywhere in her home.

On the other side, Qing was sitting in the back seat of Mr. Chihaya's car, while Mr. Chihaya was driving in the front, driving on the road at night.

Qing told Mr. Chihaya that she was going to Akabane, but did not tell him the specific location. At this stage, Qing did not want the people in the band to know about her family situation and financial situation. Otherwise, if she continued to play in the band under such conditions, who knows how much of a stir it would cause among her teammates.

Although Chihaya-san is not a direct person involved, it is still possible that Aine pestered him to tell her his address. Given Aine's personality, she might find out these things privately in order to prepare some surprises for herself.

Anyway, Mr. Chihaya doesn't know where Qing's home is. When the time comes, as long as Qing tells him where he wants to get off, he can only follow Qing's arrangements and get off there.

There are many things to do after returning home. Should I start composing music again? No, before that, I should go buy some needlework and fabrics. I haven't had time to mend yesterday's school uniform, and today's school uniform has problems because I fell. Fortunately, the next school day will be seven days later, so Qing has enough time to mend the clothes and wash them.

Qing kept his hand on his chin, watching the scenery receding outside the car window, thinking about what he would do next.

While waiting for the traffic light to turn red, Chihaya, who had been concentrating on driving in front, glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed that Qing didn't seem to be doing anything else, so he asked, "Is Xiaoqing the teammate who plays in the band with Aine at school?"

Qing was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Mr. Chihaya's eyes in the rearview mirror and nodded to confirm: "Yes, that's it."

"Is that so? Then I feel much more relieved."

Mr. Chihaya saw Aoya looking at the rearview mirror and said with a friendly smile.

Qing was a little surprised and asked: "Why would uncle say that?"

In fact, Qing had just felt it at Ain's house. Ain's parents were very warm and friendly towards him. At first, Qing just thought that Ain's parents were warm and kind, but in the subsequent conversation, Ain's parents had a sense of trust in him, "We are very relieved to leave Ain to you."

This kind of trust is difficult to develop between people who meet for the first time. Qing was curious about how they could tell whether she was good or not so quickly and trust her.

Mr. Chihaya pondered for a moment. At this time, the traffic light had turned green and the car started again. Mr. Chihaya had no time to look at the rearview mirror. He said casually: "Just feel it. I feel that Xiaoqing is very reliable and more mature than other children. And Aine and her mother have a good impression of you. I also think you are a good child. I think a band with you and Aine in it should not be a non-serious band, right? In fact, I was very worried about this before, but I feel a little relieved when I see you."

After listening to what Mr. Chihaya said, Qing thought to himself: Uncle, you are still too relieved. Although their band is indeed a serious band, the people in it are not easy to get along with.

Later, since Aine's situation at school had already been discussed by Aine, Mrs. Chihaya and Mr. Chihaya at the dinner table, Mr. Chihaya did not bring up any other topics. According to Ao's request, he sent her to a place in Akabane with more convenient transportation, and went back after dropping Ao off.

Chapter 57: Economic situation, chance encounter, and taking off disguise.

Ao got out of Chihaya's car and felt the evening breeze blowing across his thighs when he suddenly realized that Aine's school uniform skirt was indeed a little shorter than his own.

It was really just a little bit, to the extent that Qing wouldn't have been able to feel it if he hadn't been a man and was more sensitive to the feelings of wearing skirts.

Also, Qing recalled that she seemed to have forgotten to take her skirt.

But it doesn’t matter. Qing doesn’t care. She just wants to go to the convenience store to buy some needles and thread and fabrics.

Qing came to the convenience store where she was going to work. She came here to work because it was relatively close to her home, paid the highest salary, and was the least likely to have wage arrears.

Qing found needles and thread in the convenience store and came to the counter. It happened that she knew the senior staff member at the counter. They had worked together before and had also covered each other's shifts.

The senior saw that Qing was just at the convenience store to buy something. When he was about to leave after buying something, he quickly stopped Qing and asked, "Xiao Qing, didn't you read the message in the work group?"

Qing stopped and asked, "I turned off the message reminder, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Qing had indeed not read the message, the senior briefly explained the situation and said, "Xiaoqing, you received an advance on this month's salary two days ago, right? But you haven't come to work much these two days? The store manager is also dissatisfied with this and asked you not to change shifts at will next time."

Qing nodded when she heard this. This was indeed her problem, but there was nothing she could do. People's time and energy were limited. She had been busy with the band's affairs these past two days and really had no time to work. She also had to deal with arranging music when she returned.

But he had to come to work, because in order to ensure that he could buy a decent guitar and effects pedal while leaving some money for living expenses that could not be used easily, Qing had already advanced this month's salary to the store manager.

Of course, the store manager only requires working 20 hours a week, which does not affect Qing's schedule too much, and is also the reason why Qing dares to ask the store owner for an advance on his salary.

"I will pay attention and come tomorrow. Thank you for your reminder, senior."

Qing nodded to express his gratitude to his senior.

The senior sighed and said, "Hey, Xiaoqing, don't hate the store manager because of her complaints. In fact, the store manager is a very good person. After she knew your financial situation, she paid you an advance without saying a word. She was just speaking up for those of us who have been covering for you."

Qing nodded and said, "I know. I won't blame her."

Having said that, Qing was about to turn around and leave, but the moment she turned around, she bumped into a familiar person, a blue-haired girl with twin ponytails, Toyokawa Shoko, who was also wearing a Yuqiu uniform. She was holding a box of half-price cigarettes and looked into Qing's eyes awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to overhear your conversation, I just happened to want to buy something."

Xiangzi explained somewhat embarrassedly.

In Xiangzi's opinion, the conversation between Qing and the counter lady just now actually touched upon Qing's embarrassing aspects, and Qing would not want others to know about her embarrassing aspects.

Putting herself in her shoes, Xiangzi would not want other people to hear her boss's criticism, especially when it involves her own financial situation.

Qing did not react to being caught by Xiangzi, but just said to Xiangzi: "It's okay, I don't care."

After saying this, Qing was about to leave, but Xiangzi called her back.

"Mr. Qing, please wait a moment... Could you please talk to me later?"

Xiangzi was a little anxious because he saw Qing was about to leave. In addition, he accidentally overheard the conversation between Qing and the lady at the counter and felt a little apologetic. He subconsciously used some unfriendly words to call Qing.

Qing looked back at Xiangzi, and finally nodded and said, "I'll wait for you outside."

After saying that, Qing left the convenience store and waited outside the door. Although Qing was not completely sure, she could roughly guess what Xiangzi wanted to say to her. Just like in the original plot, when she met Aiyin on the school stairs after school and talked to her, Xiangzi already knew that Deng and Aiyin had formed a band in the afternoon, and she wanted to know about Deng's new band.

In fact, Qing is a little tired now. She had been fighting with Su Shi Li Xi, and then with Aine for so long, and finally there was a result. She is now a little unwilling to deal with Xiangzi.

But considering that Xiangzi was not having an easy time either, Qing still agreed to talk to Xiangzi. However, she didn't want to go through so much red tape or calculate anything. She just answered Xiangzi's questions according to her heart.

Not long after, Xiangzi also came out of the convenience store carrying a bag. Seeing Qing waiting for her outside, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled friendly and said to Qing: "Qing, let's find a place to sit down and have a good chat."

"Whatever you want. You lead the way."

Qing accepted the proposal very easily. After all, she knew that neither she nor Xiangzi wanted the other to know the location of their home, so the best way was to find a place nearby where they could sit down and chat without spending any money.

The two of them finally came to a bench in a nearby park and sat down. After sitting down, Xiangzi didn't know where to start and hesitated about what words to use.

Qing glanced at the bag Xiangzi was carrying, and recalled the lunch box Xiangzi took with him when he went to pay the bill, so he was the first to ask: "Have you had dinner?"

Qing started the conversation with a formula, asking if she had eaten the classic meal. But Qing didn't just use the formula mindlessly. She wanted to know whether the lunch box Xiangzi bought was for her or for her father.

"Well, I haven't eaten yet. Why are you asking this?"

Xiangzi was a little surprised that Qing would take the initiative to speak. She was just hesitating about how to start.

However, it is obvious that Xiangzi did not understand the essence of the formula of "Have you eaten?" and did not ask according to Qing's idea, "I haven't eaten yet, how about you?" This is a manifestation of cultural differences.

Qing felt a little sorry that Xiangzi didn't follow the routine, but she still responded in a cold voice: "I have already eaten, you can talk while eating."
