Mygo! My sister has been a vegetarian for a long time and has a huge treasure chest

In short, I've never properly addressed myself.

It's about time we stopped using this term...

"You made me do such outrageous things, and you still expect me to call you brother?"

"I could never call you brother, you pervert..."

The thought of having to call Qinghe "brother" when he calls her for help in the future is hard to accept.

Even if she's an adopted sister, who would make their sister do that kind of thing...?

That's just too much...

"He didn't say I had to call him 'brother'..."

"If possible, I hope Soyo can call me by my name."

Actually, Qinghe really wanted Su Shi to call him "brother".

Then, when Su Shi helps him do that kind of thing, he will definitely feel a deep sense of guilt...

Just thinking about it is so exciting...

However, Su Shi would definitely not agree to this approach, so it's best to just think about it...

Let's use a more normal form of address.

This way, everyone can accept it.

"Suddenly they started calling me by my name or something..."

Even addressing someone by name was a bit difficult for Su Shi.

If it's someone of the same sex, there's no problem. But if you call someone of the opposite sex by their first name, it indicates a relatively close relationship.

If it were Qinghe, Su Shi felt they weren't close enough to call each other by name...

And calling out names while doing that kind of thing always feels a bit strange...

To outsiders, they definitely look almost like a couple...

"You can't exactly call me Nagasaki, can you?"

It was just a name, so Qinghe didn't have any concerns. When he called Su Shi, he always called her "Soyo," didn't he?

It's even stranger that they're family but don't call each other by name...

"Alright, name it is."

When Kiyokawa mentioned Nagasaki, Suze finally saw things from a different perspective.

She had been thinking of Qinghe as a romantic relationship, so she found it difficult to remember his name.

But beyond a simple romantic relationship, they are now family.

There's nothing wrong with calling your family members by their names.

If that's the case, then Su Shi can accept it.

"This is a rare opportunity, Soyo, quickly call my name and give it a try!"

……

"Then...Qinghe?"

……

Chapter 51: Confessing His Physical Disability to Toyokawa Shoko

"...Qinghe?"

Why does it feel even more painful to actually open my mouth than to call someone "brother"...?

After speaking, Su Shi felt like she regretted it.

If we're family, wouldn't it be more appropriate to call him "brother"?

Calling someone by their name directly is still too embarrassing...

But when I think about calling him "brother" when he asks me to do "that" kind of thing, it seems inappropriate...

This is really frustrating...

"Great, try calling it a few more times!"

……

"No."

……

……

With Nagasaki Motoyo as a side dish, Kiyokawa felt that time flew by during the holidays.

The only drawback is that Su Shi is only willing to maintain a frequency of once a day.

To have a second chance, you have to rack your brains and outwit her.

Success brings rewards, so Qinghe is naturally very motivated.

But if you fail, you lose everything...

And then I'll be disliked by Su Shi all day long...

A few days passed, and Xiangzi surprisingly asked him to meet up after a long time.

She hasn't contacted Qinghe since their last conversation.

I have a feeling that after the accident at Asukayama Park, coupled with Toyokawa Kiyoko's renewed determination, Shoko no longer intends to have any contact with Kiyokawa.

After all, that kind of thing happened...

Even this time, when he took the initiative to ask Qinghe out, it was to explain to her father the fake relationship between the two of them.

It seems she truly believes her father has recovered, so she can be completely honest with him.

Otherwise, why would he invite Qinghe, whom he had been trying to avoid, to meet him?

The meeting place was chosen to be the Yuzawa Cafe in a bustling area, rather than the secluded Asukayama Park.

It seems she doesn't want a repeat of the last accident...

Qinghe found it strange that he wasn't allowed to meet Toyokawa Kiyoka directly, but instead had to meet at another place first.

Is there something else going on inside?

If the goal was simply to let Toyokawa Kiyoko know that Shoko had cut ties with him, there wouldn't be a need to go through all this trouble.

……

"You came."

When I arrived at Yuzawa Cafe, Xiangzi was already there waiting for me.

As expected of a famous shop, the environment here looks quite different from other places.

Sure enough, once he returned to the Toyokawa family home, Xiangzi perked up.

In the past, when she met with me, it was always in ordinary, inexpensive coffee shops or family restaurants, or even places like Asukayama Park where it didn't cost any money...

When have I ever been to such an expensive store before...?

If you're looking for a safe place to prevent yourself from doing anything reckless, then any shop in the shopping street will do.

After all, this kind of place is always bustling with people, so there's no way anyone could cause trouble here.

Unless she chooses an enclosed place like an internet cafe or karaoke bar...

However, unless you're a very close friend or someone with social anxiety, you wouldn't choose such a place to meet and talk if you have something private to discuss.

Of course, using it for the store's primary business is another matter...

So what is Xiangzi's purpose this time?

“I thought that after that accident last time, Saki was no longer willing to see me.”

Generally speaking, this meeting is to discuss how to explain the relationship between the two to Kiyotaka Toyokawa.

Xiangzi called Qinghe out because of this very reason.

But what happened before we parted ways last time was clearly not a good topic...

But Qinghe was really curious about Xiangzi's attitude towards him now, so he asked directly.

After all, Xiangzi must have had some issues with Qinghe after that parting at the park.

We used to communicate frequently by sending messages, but after that, not sending a single message became evidence.

Xiangzi must have come up with a reason for daring to come out and meet me.

Or perhaps they had some ulterior motive for having to seek out Qinghe.

Qinghe has a guess about this, but he doesn't know if it's right or wrong.

"Qinghe-jun really dares to speak his mind, even though he did something that should have prompted someone to call the police..."

"Now that you've brought this up, can you explain what happened last time?"

It seems that Qinghe's intuition is too accurate. Xiangzi's request to meet Qinghe again must have something to say.

However, whether or not to continue cooperating with him depends on finding out what happened last time.

Then we will make a decision based on his answer.

Otherwise, if Qinghe would still pose a danger to him in the future, Xiangzi would not allow him to continue cooperating.

Xiangzi could barely forgive the last time he had that kind of contact, considering that he was Su Shi's brother.

But this identity will no longer be valid, so don't assume you can always forgive him.

Xiangzi was originally thinking about how to steer the conversation to this topic, but Qinghe spoke up first.

Let's explain it clearly now.

"I'm so sorry about that..."

"Because at the time I didn't know what was happening to my body."

"Later I finally figured it out..."

"It's a bit complicated to explain, I'll just send the report to Saki directly..."

I never imagined that the test report I took by chance would come in handy now.

In order to find out if there was something wrong with his body, he went to Xiangzi for testing...

It's really hard to say these kinds of things...

When Qinghe received the results, he dared not explain because he believed he had truly been injured by Su Shi's kick...

Telling Xiangzi that you're no good must be really bad...

As for why I have the courage to explain now.

That's because although Qinghe does have health problems, it's normal for him to have Su Shi's help.

So it's okay to tell Xiangzi, after all, I'm not completely impotent.

Explaining this to Xiangzi now might help her forgive my outburst last time...

"What do you mean?"

"This report was written before that incident; didn't you know about it back then?"

"And even without this report, haven't you ever noticed anything unusual about your body?"

By receiving the documents from Qinghe via his mobile phone, Xiangzi also saw the photographed test report.

Xiangzi only had a vague understanding of the hospital document, after all, she wasn't a doctor.

However, she understood the conclusion at the end of the report.

I never expected Qinghe to be impotent...!?

It's hard to believe that someone could do something so daring to themselves...

According to Qinghe, he noticed something amiss when he left traces of himself last time, which is why he did that to confirm it...
