After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

If it gets any colder, my brothers will protest and run away from home!

So Natsukawa Kanade suddenly opened his eyes, and then stared at Kasumigaoka Utaha with a very dangerous look, gritted his teeth and said: "Kasumigaoka Utaha! If you continue like this..."

——Don’t even think about sleeping today!

Before he could utter any threatening words, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Then he seemed to come to his senses and his head suddenly became clear.

So, as if feeling guilty, he hurriedly pushed Kasumigaoka Utaha away and subconsciously took out his cell phone from his pocket. Just as he was about to answer the call, his attention was attracted by a crisp "click" sound.

He looked down and found a small boxed object had fallen to the ground as he reached into his pocket.

Yes, that’s right. It was something I bought at the vending machine just now.

"..."

"..."

Then the two looked at each other again.

"Well...this...I...I said I don't have any ideas...Do you believe me, senior sister..." He spoke with difficulty.

"Ah... well... the junior is also a boy after all... I can... understand..." Kasumigaoka Utaha blushed, but at this moment she really didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"..."

What do you understand? You don’t want to understand! He really didn’t want to…

Mmmmm…

In the end, it was Xia Chuan Zou who couldn't stand the other party's strange look first, and said hurriedly: "A-Anyway... I, I'll go answer the phone first!"

Then he turned around and tried to escape, but accidentally bumped into the door panel, making a loud "Duang" sound.

"Well……"

Although the collision was very painful, he did not dare to stay in the room any longer. He did not even have time to rub his forehead. He suddenly opened the door and rushed out.

"Pfft..." Kasumigaoka Utaha behind him looked at him in panic, blinked, and suddenly laughed out loud.

But things were not over yet. Seeing that there was no one around, she pretended to be indifferent and glanced around casually a few times. Then, slowly, step by step, she kept her indifferent look and slowly moved over. After picking up the small box that had fallen on the ground, she looked at it curiously.

"Hmm... this size..."

After all, she didn't understand any of this, so she simply took out her cell phone and searched the Internet for some information.

Then the more I investigated, the more frightened I became.

"Ah... How, how could this be... This, this isn't right, right?... With this size... it can't fit in, right? No matter how hard I try, it won't fit in!"

Then inevitably, fantasies began to emerge in my mind.

As I thought about it, I felt my head becoming more and more dizzy, and then my whole body became dizzy.

"Hmm... Junior..."

214. Kato is... someone who can be his mother

On the other side, Natsukawa Kanade, who escaped from the room because of a phone call, finally calmed down completely after washing his face with cold water for a long time in the bathroom.

In the past, as a spectator, he also felt that it was too much for things to be interrupted at the most critical moment. It was obvious that the plot that would happen next was the most exciting and worth looking forward to. However, those creators always used all means to cancel the things that the audience wanted to see, and replaced them with a more bland development.

That’s why countless people volunteered to speak out - there should be a book here!

This kind of situation is so common that it is naturally what everyone expects.

But for Natsukawa Kanade, who has now become the person involved, that can truly be said to be the worst development!

Because once a fait accompli really occurs, his fate will be completely clear - he will probably be threatened by his senior sister and enslaved for the rest of his life.

Considering the senior's twisted personality, she might even develop some strange hobbies because of this... For example, because she doesn't want to date him, the two of them don't become boyfriend and girlfriend, but the senior may ask him to date other people, and then order him to come over and accept her training when he is with his girlfriend, and he will agree to her ideas and do these and those excessive things because he has done something wrong, and then do even more excessive things because he gradually gets used to it...

In short, the senior became his master, and he was forced to complete various tasks of his master in order to atone his sins - just thinking about it makes people feel too terrible!

Of course, in addition to this possibility, there is another possibility - the senior sister told him to get lost very coldly afterwards, and never contacted him again from then on, which means that the senior sister was really heartbroken by him.

She clearly trusted him, but in the end he still acted like a despicable man who listened to his second brother's ideas. Not to mention her, even he himself would hate himself and feel extremely regretful and guilty afterwards. Therefore, this can be said to be the most unacceptable development.

But in fact, in addition to the above possibilities, there is another possibility that he thinks may be the most likely to destroy his worldview and even his life - the senior sister obviously doesn't like him and doesn't want to date him, but she forgives his behavior and may even comfort him in return. But no matter what, she still doesn't want to date him, and he has to watch helplessly as the girl with whom he had this kind of relationship and whom he obviously likes leaves him and throws herself into the arms of someone else...

I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.

He clearly had it before, even if it was an extremely short-lived feeling that only existed for that one night, but he would definitely be hopelessly determined for the other person. He didn't dare to say anything else, but he was very sure of this. If the senior sister really wanted to leave him, he would definitely collapse, and what would happen after that... He didn't dare to think about it, and couldn't imagine it.

Based on the senior's personality analysis, he roughly thought of these possibilities, and basically ruled out other situations.

But no matter which one, it can only lead to a tragic ending, and none of them is a development that people are willing to accept.

There is no way around it. After all, Kasumigaoka-senpai is a proud person. Based on the original "unwillingness to date him", there is absolutely no possibility of a happy ending like "starting a normal relationship with him". After all, if it really develops like this, wouldn't it be saying in disguise: He captured the senior by beeping...

But this is clearly a normal, real-world mouth! It's not some book world where the cow is covered with hypnotic drugs and can capture girls with just one beep! Trying to get a girlfriend in this way is simply evil!

All in all, these were roughly the reasons why he didn't want to and didn't dare to do anything to Kasumigaoka Utaha. Although he had actually made all kinds of mental, physical, and material preparations before that, when he was in the room, facing the layers of teasing from senior Kasumigaoka, he still chose to stick to his heart with difficulty. In the end, he even pretended to be angry. When he was about to warn the other party with quite serious words, he suddenly received a life-saving call.

Although this resulted in the umbrella of protection he had prepared for any emergency being revealed in front of the two of them, it was still better to be embarrassed for a while than for the "normal friendship between the two of them" to end suddenly. Overall, the pros outweigh the cons.

Now that he had calmed down, the first thing he wanted to do was to make a phone call and express his deepest gratitude to the savior who almost saved the rest of his life - Kato Megumi!

Hui is simply his god!

"Mosimoxi?"

"Yes, I can hear you. I'm Natsukawa Zou..." After the call was connected, Natsukawa Zou was almost in tears.

There is a feeling of being bullied outside, and wanting to go home to cry and act like a spoiled child to my mother...

"I'm sorry, I was unable to answer the phone right away because of something else. I'm very convenient now, so it doesn't matter how long it takes me to figure it out..." Xia Chuan Zou said with a sigh.

When he thought of what had just happened in the room, he felt a headache. He wished he could chat with Kato for a while longer. It would be best if they could chat until the senior couldn't wait for him and fell asleep. In this way, he wouldn't have to stand outside in the cold and wind, and he could safely protect the purity of himself and the senior.

"Eh... Although it's nice that Natsukawa-kun wants to chat with me for a long time, after all... you still have to get up early tomorrow, right?"

Although the sound coming through the electronic device was a little distorted, Kato's tone remained calm as always, as if nothing could make her anxious.

But what Natsukawa Kanade was most concerned about was why Kato knew that he had to get up early tomorrow to catch the train back home? He hadn't even mentioned this to his senior yet!

"I learned about this from Eriri. I heard that you guys are going to hold a study session tomorrow, so I wanted to ask Natsukawa-kun..."

Even though they were talking over the phone from a huge distance, Kato seemed to be able to guess what he was thinking and even explained it to him himself.

And he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that when Kato was speaking, there was a faint sound of rippling water nearby.

"That's true, Kato, do you... also have homework that needs tutoring?" Natsukawa Kanade asked doubtfully. According to his impression, Kato should be a relatively stable and serious person. Even if he really has difficulty in studying, he shouldn't be unable to pass the exam, right?

"Yes... Actually, I took a day off because I was not feeling well. I didn't expect that I couldn't keep up with the teacher's pace. I feel that the midterm exam will be a bit troublesome."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Xia Chuan Zou nodded, indicating to the void that he understood this very well.

It seemed like he had encountered a similar situation a long time ago. He was busy with various things and did not get enough sleep. Then, during the math class the next day, he only dozed off for a short while. When he looked up again, he found that the entire blackboard was already filled with numbers, and the teacher just happened to pick up the blackboard eraser...

It turns out that Kato also experienced this kind of confusing experience.

"So what about the subject? It's..."

"It's mathematics." A slightly different tone came from the other side. Although it was indeed different from the voice just now, Natsukawa Kanade noticed it keenly.

So he couldn't help but smile, it turned out that Kato would also feel embarrassed about this kind of thing.

"This is normal. After all, it's mathematics, and mathematics won't lie." Xia Chuanzou smiled and comforted the other party.

"..."

After that, there was no more sound from Kato's side, only some rustling sounds, like the wind blowing through the leaves.

Just as Natsukawa was about to take the phone away from his ear to see if the call was accidentally disconnected, he suddenly heard Kato's gentle voice again -

"Sorry, I was taking a shower and got distracted for a bit... I'll turn on the video, it'll be a little more convenient."

“……???” Xia Chuan Zou was suddenly stunned, and then felt frightened.

No wonder he heard the sound of water just now, it turned out that he was taking a bath... But taking a bath is fine, but what about turning on the video? ! He didn't think he was the kind of person who could enjoy such treatment!

However, when faced with the decision of whether to accept the call, he somehow clicked on the option of "Accept the call".

"..."

How should I put it? After all, it was… Kato’s request, right? Of course, she had her reasons, and although he couldn’t understand it, he still wanted to choose to respect it.

So after the screen flashed, Kato, wearing a pink and white hoodie, appeared in the center, with a pure white striped skirt and familiar black mid-calf socks. Different from her conventional and inconspicuous image in a school uniform, this time Kato gave people the feeling of a friendly and lovely girl next door.

She is the kind of cute sister who would call him "Nissan~".

However, Xiachuan Zou didn't dare to look at the screen any longer and immediately turned his face away. As for the reason...

At this moment, Kato was kneeling on the bed, her body slightly leaning forward, her eyes moving up and down, and from time to time she would stretch her hand towards this side, looking like she was adjusting the mobile phone holder. As her body swayed, a small white arc gradually appeared at her collar.

It is easy to make people's eyes deeply immersed in it.

"Can you see clearly, Natsukawa-kun?"

"Ah, yes, I can see clearly..." Xia Chuan Zou turned his head back reluctantly, and when he found that she had turned into a kneeling position, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, he could really see it clearly just now. Not only him, but even the kitchen staff next door probably saw it. There was no need for a heroic sniper at all.

But what was even more worrying was… Didn’t he say he was taking a shower? How did he suddenly end up in his bedroom? Kato-san, lying is not a good habit! The key point was that he was actually nervous for nothing…

215. Is the secret going to be exposed? (3K)

Maybe she saw the puzzled look on his face, but after making sure she could meet his gaze, Kato began to explain: "Because I was taking a bath earlier, I was distracted for a moment..."

"..."Since you're just taking a bath, don't think about putting on clothes and video chatting after it's over in a hurry!

And isn't voice calling enough? Or is Kato actually the type of person who prefers video calls and likes to observe other people's expressions and movements during the conversation?

"So why did you suddenly think of having a video call? Kato, don't you think it's... inconvenient?" He originally wanted to say "I'm sorry", but he always felt that it was implying that the other party's behavior was very bold and unrestrained, so he changed his way of saying it.

He originally just wanted to understand a little bit of the reason, but he didn't expect that Kato seemed to have misunderstood something. He suddenly lowered his head and apologized to him: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through and disturbed Natsukawa-kun..."

"No, no, no, that's not the case. You didn't disturb me. I was just a little curious." Natsukawa Kanade quickly waved his hands to explain. Although in a sense he did disturb some things, it was clearly a good thing. How could he be angry with Kato when he was not even expressing his gratitude enough?

"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't want to give up my bath time just to video call someone..."

As a person who loves bathing, it is impossible for him to give up the comfortable bathing time. He would rather enjoy the whole process while keeping the phone on.

"Hmm... I was so worried..." On the other side of the screen, Kato's movements became unusually awkward, "Actually, it's because I don't know what kind of clothes would be more appropriate for tomorrow. After all, this is the first time I've been invited to someone's home..."

"Oh, I see... That's true. After all, this is your first time going to Eriri's house..." Then suddenly, Natsukawa Kanade realized something was wrong.

It seems that until now... the little golden retriever has not revealed her identity as an artist in the other world in front of Kato? Even if she occasionally accidentally took out one or two similar illustrations in front of him, it would only make him think that she was an artist who was more open-minded, "As expected of Eriri, she can even complete such paintings very exquisitely."

But tomorrow Kato will go to her house and even to her room, right? He will definitely be exposed, right? ! He will definitely be exposed!

"Actually, there's no need to be too solemn... You're probably worried about meeting Eriri's parents and about the etiquette, right?" Although Natsukawa Kanade was very worried about the condition of the little golden retriever, he still looked very normal on the surface and even began to give Kato advice.

"After all, it's the first visit, so it would be great if you could bring some souvenirs, but you don't need to prepare anything particularly expensive, just some desserts would be great, and it would be even better if they were homemade. As for the rest... Actually, Eriri's father is usually not at home, and her mother basically goes out early and comes back late, so normally you wouldn't run into them. If you do meet them, just say hello normally, because they are both very easy-going and gentle adults."

"As for the clothes..." Natsukawa Kanade looked Kato up and down again, and then praised him very affirmatively: "The current combination is very good, with a cute and friendly girl-next-door style. It should be enough to deal with older aunts..."

However, this was not enough. From what he knew from Eriri and his understanding of Sayuri Sawamura after several encounters, she would definitely be excited to see the prey, and then take out a bunch of cute or strange clothes for Kato to try on one by one. After all, her daughter refused to be her model. How could she let go of a "clothes hanger" who had a good relationship with her daughter and was the same age as her? Maybe even Eriri couldn't save Kato by then...

But he wouldn't point it out so explicitly, mainly because he was worried that Kato would start to become afraid and wouldn't dare to go to Eriri's house to attend study sessions. How would he be able to pass it on... How would he be able to tutor Kato in math?

You must know that mathematics cannot be taken lightly! Although it is sincere, it will treat you the same way you treat it...

In order to help Kato calm down her worries, Natsukawa Kanade considered everything for her in detail, to such a level of detail that even Kato seemed a little overwhelmed.

"Hmm... this should be enough... Natsukawa-kun..."

"Well, actually..." Xiachuan Zou originally wanted to add something more. According to his progress, he had only explained half of the precautions in the notes he had made. But when he came to his senses and paid attention to the video interface again, he found that Kato had taken a nap on the pillow without realizing it.

The mobile phone holder seemed to be placed next to her pillow, playing a video of her sleeping face, but what was more attractive was her unconcealed cute posture. Her slender body rose and fell with her regular breathing, and because she was lying on the bed, her plump and curved breasts were squeezed to the point of being almost deformed.

Xiachuan Kanade felt several times that the balls, which seemed to be suffocating due to the compression of their living space, must want to cry out, but every time they reached their limit, they were taken back, which made people feel very regretful.
