Chapter 100 Chapter : The confrontation between Takamatsu Deng and Aine, Aine learns the truth

"So, tonight, Brother Qi, Xiao Mu, and Tomorin will sleep together in the cabin?"

"Is it really not too crowded? Although Tomorin and Xiaomu should sleep on the bed later, it's not good for you to sleep on the floor for the next few days, Qi-ge?"

As night fell, in the small house rented by Chen Qi, Chihaya Aine seemed particularly enthusiastic today. She was making the bed for Chen Qi and spreading a new tatami on the floor. She acted like a "good wife and mother" like never before, which made Chen Qi, who was familiar with Aine, a little uncomfortable.

2 After all, in the six months that Chen Qi and Aiyin had been together, he had never seen Aiyin do as many things for him as she did today.

Ever since Jiu became familiar with Chen Qi, Aiyin would run to Chen Qi's room almost every day. She would sit on his bed without any concern, and even blame Chen Qi for being harsh on her every now and then when she was tired from practicing guitar. She would always pick up a pillow and hit Chen Qi's body, making a mess on the bed.

4 And now, Chen Qi looked at the small house that was still kept exceptionally clean after he had been away for a week. Even the bedding on the bed had been changed. Chen Qi felt a little complicated in his heart...

Ling Aiyin, is she afraid that he will run away again? Or is she hurt by Mu's words in the past, so she keeps trying to please him and keep him here?

However, Chihaya Aine still did not notice the subtle changes in Chen Qi's expression behind her. She had just helped Chen Qi make the bed, and turned around, with a thoughtful look on her face, and said to Chen Qi:

Shan: "How about this, Brother Qi, can you come to my house tonight and stay for a while? Although there is no empty room at home, I can go to my mother's room to sleep, and Brother Qi can rest in my room for the night - Ouch!"

However, before Aiyin finished her words, Chen Qi stretched out his hand and a small red mark appeared on her white forehead. Aiyin also cried out in pain, covered her forehead with a resentful look, and looked at Brother Qi in front of her.

But, even though she looked resentful, Aine felt unexpectedly sweet inside.

⒋ This is one of the few small actions that Chen Qi and Aiyin have done in the past six months that would "hurt" Aiyin. Only when Aiyin occasionally does something out of line will Chen Qi use this method to remind Aiyin.

Although this action was not very intimate, for Aiyin, who had reunited with Chen Qi after a long separation, it made her feel once again the familiar closeness and warmth returning to her.

However, despite saying this, Aiyin still had some resentment in her mouth, and said to Chen Qi dissatisfiedly:

"Brother Qi! Why did you hit me again suddenly? It hurts."

"If I don't play you, I'm afraid you'll give me your house. How can a man like me just walk into a girl's boudoir?"

Chen Qi also smiled helplessly. How could he not know what Aiyin was thinking? But he could no longer accept Aiyin's love silently as he did in the past. Now... he had new responsibilities.

Chen Qi also knew that he should not be as intimate with Aiyin as before, because Deng, who confessed to him, was right behind him, watching him. If he did not restrain his behavior, Deng would probably feel very sad...

But unfortunately, this little action is much more restrictive than the patting on the head that Chen Qi likes more.

In the past, when facing Aiyin, who had no sense of boundaries with him, Chen Qi probably didn't want to preach, but to accept Aiyin's coquettishness and kindness.

Fortunately, Chen Qi's little action did not cause his sister behind him to be unhappy again. While he was relieved, he also looked at Aiyin in front of him and replied in a gentler tone:

“好了爱音，中转≌〔群：`]2>94]×0|々4‰》3∥*564你也不用再这样担心我，灯和小睦都在这里，我还能半夜消失了不成？”

"If you hadn't run away, Brother Qi, I wouldn't be worried at all now..." Aiyin pouted slightly in displeasure, still feeling bothered by the fact that Chen Qi left her.

However, just as Aiyin was still mumbling and Chen Qi was about to speak to help Aiyin calm down, the timid voice of Gao Songdeng behind Chen Qi came softly at this time:

"Yes...Aine-chan, don't worry. This time, Xiaomu and I are by my brother's side. Brother will never leave us again."

As he spoke, Gao Songdeng gently supported the drowsy figure of Mu, and looked at his brother for help, saying softly:

"Brother, Aiyin-chan, Xiaomu looks very sleepy. Let's give her a quiet environment so that she can have a good rest, right?"

"That's right."

Gao Songdeng's words also made Chen Qi focus his attention on Mu again. Chen Qi took the initiative to lower his body slightly, took Mu's soft and boneless little hand, and saw that Mu seemed to have perked up a little, and said to Mu softly:

"Mu, you must be very tired today, right? Just have a good sleep here."

"...Qi, don't go."

However, Mu, whose hand was gently held by Chen Qi, did not let Chen Qi lead her to sit down on the bed. Instead, under the slightly surprised gaze of Aine and Gao Songdeng, her petite body tilted slightly and she actively fell on Chen Qi.

Perhaps because he was really sleepy, Chen Qi, who subconsciously caught Mu's body, also felt that Mu's body was soft in his arms. After a while, Mu's weak and mosquito-like voice came:

"Qi, I can't sleep without you by my side..."

"...Okay, I'll stay with Mu."

Chen Qi looked at the doll girl in his arms who had given up everything for him, and a hint of heartache appeared in his eyes. He agreed without hesitation.

Chen Qi could see that Mu was not in good shape today.

While having dinner at Aiyin's house and when Chen Qi was explaining to everyone how he brought Mu out of Ruoye's house and how their relationship became what it is now, she looked depressed. She just gently held Chen Qi's hand from beginning to end and refused to let go.

Judging from the fact that Mu rarely expressed his dependence on him... Chen Qi could guess a little bit that Mu was probably not used to the feeling of being with Deng and Aine.

In the past, only Chen Qi was with Mu. Although the interaction between the two was not much compared to that between Aine and Deng, or even Li Xi and Su Shi, after Mu left the Wakaba family, the only person he trusted and could entrust everything to was Chen Qi.

In the past, it was not uncommon for two people with nothing to huddle together for warmth, but now, Deng has returned to Chen Qi, and Chen Qi has also returned to Aiyin's home. Mu suddenly feels that his position in Chen Qi's heart is not as important as before.

In terms of liveliness and sociability, she is not as good as Aine, and in terms of caring intimacy, she is not as good as Takamatsu Deng.

Although he, like Aiyin and Deng, had been promised a "lifetime" by Chen Qi, the huge gap in status still made Mu feel uneasy and exhausted both physically and mentally.

Therefore, she needed Chen Qi to be with her at this time, and Chen Qi was also very happy to give this puppet girl the warmth she deserved.

This has nothing to do with Deng’s confession to him. Since he has made a promise, he has to carry it out.

"Deng, Ain, can you guys go out for a while?" Chen Qi gently picked up Mu's petite and light body and said softly to Deng and Ain:

"I have to take good care of Mu here. Mu needs a quieter environment."

"Sure." Aiyin agreed without hesitation, then took Deng's hand and left the hut.

However, the moment Aiyin turned her head, her expression was not as relaxed as when she faced Chen Qi. There was a hint of contemplation lingering on her delicate face.

There was no doubt that Aine was thinking about Mu.

Although when Chen Qi promised to take care of Mu for the rest of his life, she had more or less guessed what had happened between the two of them during that week...but rescuing Mu from Ruoye's house, such a fairy tale-like scene, could it actually happen in reality?

Moreover, the "princess" imprisoned in the "tower" was actually Mu? The girl who usually spoke the least and had the least expression in the band?

Is Xiao Mu so brave?

To be honest, Aiyin was more willing to believe that it was after the Live ended that day that Mu, who had angrily scolded them, took the initiative to find Chen Qi and confessed his feelings to the fragile Chen Qi, and was able to take advantage of the opportunity to become the inseparable existence in Chen Qi's heart.

⑨However, should we say that fortunately all of this is just Aiyin's guess, not the truth? Although Mu and Chen Qi's experiences are more romantic, at least their relationship does not seem to be developing in the worst direction she thought.

⒋Besides, although Xiao Mu has acted very close to Brother Qi so far, he has not done anything that crosses the line... Is it because of his personality?

But Aiyin always feels that Xiaomu now has a stronger sense of propriety towards her brother Qi than Deng, and even more like the distance that a sister of Qi should have than Deng.

2 However, all this still depends on Chen Qi's own thoughts. What kind of feelings does Brother Qi have for Xiao Mu will determine whether Xiao Mu will be a threat in his future pursuit of Brother Qi.

4 "Brother Qi had previously asked Xiaomu if he was willing to become a family with him, but the arrival of Deng's parents interrupted Xiaomu's answer."

⑶ "However, Xiaomu seemed to be close to agreeing at that time... So that means that the relationship between Qi Ge and Xiaomu should be similar to Deng's?" Aiyin couldn't help but mutter to herself as she was lost in thought.

Shan: "I hope so... I am confident that I can fight with Xiangzi, but Xiaomu... he is too close to Brother Qi."

０However, all of Aine’s words were also heard by Takamatsu Deng who was standing by. While listening to Aine’s endless chatter about her worries about Mutsuki, Takamatsu Deng’s eyes were fixed on Aine from beginning to end without moving away.

㈤Ain is worried about Xiaomu, and Takamatsu Deng is most worried that the person who might take his brother away, besides Xiangzi, is Ain in front of him.

Deng was not too worried about Xiaomu's affairs. After all, her brother only treated Xiaomu as a sister, and Deng just had a sister who was more taciturn than herself. She could still accept it.

But if it’s Aine-chan…

Deng could see that Aine liked her brother very much, especially during the past six months of getting along, Aine had done many intimate things to her brother that Deng had never done to his brother, but the two of them were calm and didn't mind at all.

As for just talking about getting along with each other, Deng actually doesn't hate Aine. After all, Aine was not a member of Crychic. She has never done anything to hurt her brother. She has been with her brother for the past six months. She is lively and cheerful, and she values ​​her brother.

If Deng and Chen Qi were siblings, it can be said that compared to Xiangzi, Deng would be more able to accept that Aine liked her brother.

But, there are no ifs in this world.

Deng also likes her brother, and she has taken the first step to pursue her brother's love for her.

So...even if I like Aine-chan very much, I can't allow Aine-chan to take away my favorite brother.

Gao Songdeng has made his decision and he must act.

"Huh? Where are Soyorin and Riki? Have they gone home yet?"

After walking in the courtyard and looking around but not seeing her two band friends, Aine muttered with her hands on her hips in slight dissatisfaction:

"We kindly invited them to our house for dinner, but they didn't even wait to say goodbye to us before leaving - Tomorin, aren't they going too far?"

"...Tomorin?"

However, without waiting for the light beside her to respond, Aine subconsciously turned her head slightly to look around.

And in the next second, when Aine met Takamatsu Touma’s focused and moving gaze that twinkled like stars towards her, even Aine was subconsciously stunned for a moment. ⑺

For some reason, Aine had a bad feeling in her heart... The first time Aine saw such a serious look from Deng was when Deng was trying to find her brother.

And this time, Deng was so serious, what was her reason? ⑹

"Aine-chan." Just when Aine was doubtful, Takamatsu Deng, who had quietly made up his mind, suppressed his trembling voice and whispered to Chihaya Aine in front of him word by word:⑶

"Aine-chan, do you like my brother?"⑷

"Tomorin..." Aiyin had never expected that Deng would ask her this question, but she felt a little guilty... After all, Aiyin knew very well how important Chen Qi was to Deng.

The one she likes is Deng's only spiritual support, and the one she wants to take away is Deng's brother. If there is no such relationship, how could Aiyin want to get along well with Deng and then pursue Chen Qi step by step? She would not have any concerns at all. ⑵

But now, since Deng had seen through her thoughts, after a moment of silence, Aine no longer hesitated, straightened her face, and said to Deng in front of her in a low voice:

"Yes, Tomorin... I'm really sorry, but, I may really have fallen in love with your brother."

"Aine-chan, why do you like my brother?" After hearing the expected answer, Takamatsu Deng, who knew that he could not avoid hurting Aine, couldn't help but let his eyes dim a little, but he still asked with a glimmer of hope.

However, facing this question, Chihaya Aine was surprised for a moment, then fell into deep thought. Then, she spoke in an uncertain tone, euphemistically:

"I... myself don't know why I like Brother Qi."

"In the past, I just treated him like the brother next door. I just felt that even though we were not familiar with each other, he treated me so gently and understood my temper and personality so well, as if he knew everything about me... We got along very well."

"Later, without realizing it, I began to rely on him more and more. By the time I realized it, I found myself sinking deeper and deeper..."

Speaking of this, it seemed as if she recalled the carefree and intimate past between her and Chen Qi, and Aiyin's face couldn't help but turn red, a blush that even the night couldn't conceal.

"In short, I like Brother Qi, and I even hope to be with him forever... I don't think this feeling is false."

As she said that, Aine also shook her head gently, and after getting rid of the shyness on her face, she couldn't help but look directly at Takamatsu Deng who was lowering his head in front of her.

When Aiyin saw Takamatsu Deng lowering his head and keeping silent, she thought that what she had just said had hurt the heart of this girl who depended on her brother. After a moment of panic, she quickly took the initiative to come to Deng's side, gently grasped Deng's palm, and whispered softly:

"Tomorin, I know my words make you uncomfortable. I know that Brother Qi is the brother you rely on the most. You must feel bad when he leaves you."

"Don't worry, Tomorin, I just want to be with Brother Qi, not to possess everything from him. Brother Qi is still your brother, and that won't change."

As she spoke, Aine's brain quickly started to work, trying to say something that would make Deng more accepting of her. After a while, Aine seemed to have thought of something, and quickly promised Deng:

"Don't worry, Deng. When Brother Qi and I go on a date in the future, you can always stay with us. I will treat Deng like my own sister, just like Brother Qi does."

"Even if Brother Qi and I start living together in the future, you can also live with us! I don't mind! And I won't let you two siblings be separated."

2 "As long as you agree to let me date your brother, please."

Jiu looked at the silent Gao Songdeng in front of her. Aiyin felt very nervous and even forgot her nickname for Deng. She was very scared now that Gao Songdeng, the sister who occupied a huge proportion in Chen Qi's heart, would not agree with her relationship with Chen Qi.

Even if Deng disagreed, Aiyin would not give up easily, but what she least wanted to see was that she had to become enemies with Deng in order to date Brother Qi...

Ling Ain doesn't want Deng to hate her, and she doesn't want her relationship with Qi Ge to hurt Deng in the end.

However, in the next moment, Gao Songdeng, who had kept his head down and remained silent, took a deep breath and said something to Aiyin that made her heart stop suddenly.

3 “Aine-chan… I’m sorry…”

Wu: "But you, can't have a relationship with my brother, and you, won't become my brother's wife."

Lu: "...Why?" Aiyin's originally hopeful expression gradually cooled down because of Deng's words, but she still kept a forced smile and tried to ask.

"Because... there is already someone who fell in love with my brother before Aine." Takamatsu Deng's voice became smaller and smaller.

"That person doesn't want Aine-chan to like brother."

Aine: "Who? Toyokawa Shoko?"

However, facing Takamatsu Deng's weak answer, he thought Deng didn't like his love tone, but his heart, which had been clenched tightly, gradually relaxed. He smiled and shook his head, and said to Takamatsu Deng:

"If it's Xiangzi, Deng, I can tell you very clearly that I'm not afraid of her at all! If she wants to snatch Brother Qi from me, I will make sure she loses miserably!"

How could a mere "ex-girlfriend" who hurt Qi Ge and has not yet completely reconciled with Qi Ge be my opponent? Ai Yin, who had confronted Xiangzi, was quite confident in her abilities and felt that she could suppress Xiangzi.

But unexpectedly, under Aine's gaze, Takamatsu Deng gently shook his head to deny it. Aine was also a little surprised, and then she carefully guessed:

"That... is Xiao Mu?"

Gao Songdeng still shook his head.
