Lonely Rock for the Blind

"That's good."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"How is Hongxia doing lately?"

Yamada Ryo suddenly asked a strange question, and Nekayashiki Haru was stunned for a moment.

"Just like usual."

"By the way, what are your feelings towards Hong Xia?"

Yamada Ryo looked at Nekayashiki Haru and asked.

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

"Why do you ask such a question..."

"Continuing the topic we talked about the first time?"

"... "

Nekayashiki Haru was speechless for a moment, then answered.

"I feel more like Hong Xia as a family member... um... brother and sister?"

"what…"

Yamada Ryo opened his mouth.

"Why? Too classic?"

Nekoyashiki Haru asked.

"Yes, a little bit, brother-sister love or something."

Yamada Ryo nodded and continued to ask.

"What if Hongxia likes you? You said before that she was so close to you because of childhood guilt or something?"

"He came out and told me at the celebration party for his last live show that he did feel guilty because he said hurtful things to me when he was young and ignorant, although I have no recollection of it at all."

"What happens after that?"

"I feel like Hongxia has become normal again, at least much more normal than before she told me the reasons for her guilt."

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled and waved his hand.

"Now we're getting along just like we did when we were kids. I guess we've returned to normal. Hong Xia probably doesn't have any romantic feelings for me."

Yamada Ryo blinked.

"So confident?"

"Emotions become more noticeable the more they accumulate. If Hong Xia likes me, I'll definitely notice something unusual unless she has other ways of releasing her emotions that I can't detect."

Nekoyashiki Haru explained.

"Really… What if you liked it as a child?"

"...You mean...Hong Xia liked me when she was a child?"

Nekoyashiki Haru curled his lips.

"How could I understand these things when I was so young?"

"…Too."

Yamada Ryo nodded, then suddenly asked.

"Which of the four of us do you like?"

"Why should I like you four?"

Nekoyashiki Haru frowned.

Yamada Ryo said.

"Who else can you like?"

"... "

Nekayashiki Haru was silent for a while, then exploded.

"Actually, I like the older type."

"You like the store manager?!"

Yamada Ryo said in shock.

"…I just said I like older people, I didn't say I have a crush on someone."

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

"Do we have to talk about love? Can't we continue talking about your hobbies?"

"…OK."

Yamada Ryo nodded, then continued walking towards the next alley with Nekoyashiki Haru.

...

……

.........

Nekoyashiki home.

In the dark bedroom, the blonde girl sniffed the scent of the quilt.

"…kitten…"

Ichichi Hongxia clamped her legs around the quilt tighter and tighter.

Today...I didn't talk to the kitten much.

I didn't go to deliver lunch boxes this morning because my sister had something to help her with. But Kita-chan didn't seem to be alone with the cats either. Pochi was also busy with practice and a part-time job in the afternoon...

I don’t know where the kitten has gone again, but it’s not raining outside anyway, so let’s just wait here.

Waiting for him to come back...

Chapter 116: Riding the Tide (Return)

Click...

The sound of the door opening made Ichichi Hongxia, who was resting with her eyes closed on the sofa, open her eyes.

Looking towards the door, Nekoyashiki Haru was yawning and closing the door.

boom.

What did you go out for?

Ijichi Hongxia thought, then smiled and continued to stare at the boy on the sofa.

I feel like a wife welcoming her husband home.

Ijichi Hongka clenched her hands gently.

"?"

Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why do I feel like I'm being watched?

"... "

It’s an illusion, am I too sleepy?

How could there be someone watching me in my house?

Nekayashiki Haru shook his head and walked towards the bathroom.

Oh, take a shower and go to bed.

Click, bang.

The bathroom door was closed, and Ijichi Hongxia got up from the sofa after waiting for the sound of water splashing inside.

At this time, you don’t even need to pay too much attention to the sound of footsteps.

The kitten was disturbed by the sound of water, and he wouldn't be able to hear it if he walked a little lighter.

Crash.

Ijichi Hongxia stopped in front of the bathroom.

Nothing can be seen clearly through the foggy glass.

But she still watched with her red eyes.

"...?"

The cat Yashiki Haru, who was taking a bath, raised his head.

No...why do I feel so uneasy?

"... "

After hesitating for a while, Nekayashiki Haru sped up his bath.

Take a shower and go to bed...

Nekayashiki Haru quickly washed herself without even taking a bath, then dried herself, blew her hair dry, put on her clothes, and walked out the door.

Click.

Nekoyashiki Haru walked out the door and headed towards the bedroom.

Ijichi Hongxia did not follow, but just squatted on the ground waiting for the other party to disappear.

Nekoyashiki Haru entered the bedroom and suddenly closed the door.

"?"

Ijichi Hongxia was stunned for a moment. Kittens usually don’t close the bedroom door when they sleep?

Generally speaking, closing the bedroom door is a sign of vigilance... or...

Ijichi Hongxia blushed.

Could it be that... it's the kind of thing that all boys would do?

Ijichi Hongxia covered her burning face.

But I didn’t find any H books under the bed, so what does the kitten rely on?

No, I couldn’t see it in the first place!

Are H books available in Braille?

Shouldn't there be any?

Ijichi Hongxia tiptoed towards the bedroom door and put her ear to it.

Maybe it depends purely on imagination?

Speaking of imagination...will you imagine me?

Ijichi Hongxia licked her lips and waited.

One minute.

Two minutes.

ten minutes.

There was still no strange sound, and Ijichi Hongxia lowered her head regretfully.

No...

Then just keep waiting until the kitten falls asleep before going in.

The yellow triangle on its head began to shake.

Make up for the missing kitten energy tonight.
