Amakusa Narumi's voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them.
Izumi Toru turned around.
"Narumi, why are you still in school now?"
"After practicing for a while, it's time," Narumi Amakusa briefly explained, looking at Kyoko Shiratori next to her friend, and asked, "Are you dating?"
"No!" Shiratori Kyoko said hurriedly.
Izumi Toru explained: "Because we happened to meet each other, and we happened to take the same train, so we got together."
Amakusa Narumi nodded, and then asked: "Do you have anything else to do in the evening? If not, why don't you go to my house to play games?"
"Okay!" Izumi Toru immediately grabbed his hand, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.
Amakusa Narumi was a little surprised by her friend's burning eyes.
In my impression, Izumi was rarely as excited as he is now.
"Izumi, what's wrong with you?"
Izumi Toru coughed, let go of him, and said, "It's nothing. I'll take Shiratori-san to the station first. You go back first. I'll go to your house later."
"oh."
"By the way, don't tell Mei Yi that I'm going today."
"Ah? Why?"
"Just listen to me."
Amakusa Narumi scratched his head without knowing what was going on.
"oh."
Seeing Izumi Toru and Shiratori Kyoko walking away, he muttered: "Did we have another quarrel?"
That must be Mei's fault!
When he got home, he changed into his slippers and shouted into the house: "I'm back."
“The food will take a while!”
Amakusa Mei's voice came from the kitchen.
"By the way, Izumi will be coming later, so prepare more food."
After subconsciously speaking, he remembered Izumi Toru's instructions.
Izumi seems to have said that he is not allowed to tell Mei.......
Suddenly a tinkling sound came from the kitchen.
The next moment, Amakusa Meiyi rushed out with a frying spoon.
"Who asked him to come!"
Looking at the girl with a full anger gauge, Amakusa Narumi felt panicked.
He swallowed hard and said cautiously: "Well, that...I, I invited him to play games..."
"Why invite him?! Tell me!"
The girl raised the frying spoon and asked him to see how powerful the women of the Amakusa family were.
As the only man in the Amakusa family, Narumi Amakusa has seen this fact countless times.
He subconsciously closed his eyes, raised his hands in the air, and shouted: "Who else can I look for besides Izumi!"
Amakusa Meiyi loosened and then tightened her grip on the frying spoon in her hand.
Finally, she returned to the kitchen without saying a word.
Amakusa Narumi came to the kitchen, looked at her sister who seemed to be sulking all the time, and called out: "Mei."
"Don't come in!" Amakusa Mei said without looking back.
"Then, Izumi, will you let him come later?"
She was silent for a while, then clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth: "You invited me! There's no reason not to come!"
"He won't be angry if I don't let him come. Izumi will understand me."
Amakusa Meiyi's hand suddenly trembled, and her heart also trembled.
Does that guy think that I am avoiding him because I hate him?
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Amakusa Narumi called out again: "Mei?"
The girl took a deep breath and then exhaled it slowly.
"You can go play games and don't come out before eating."
"What about Izumi?"
"3!"
"2!"
Before Amakusa Meiyi could count to 1, Amakusa Narumi turned around and ran to the bedroom.
Bang!
Hearing the sound of the door closing, the frying spoon in the girl's hand suddenly slipped.
She squatted down, covered her face, and murmured in a low voice: "What should I do? What should I do? He is coming soon, and I haven't figured out how to deal with him yet... What if he wants to kiss me? What if he wants to kiss me?
What about a hug? What if..."
Her body twisted several times.
After a while, she raised her head, revealing her already red face.
His eyes were filled with mist.
"...Then, there's nothing we can do..."
There was a hint of breathiness in his voice.
Ding dong!
Ding dong!
Izumi Toru rang the doorbell.
After a while, Amakusa Meiyi wearing an apron opened the door.
The moment he saw her, Izumi Tetsu's eyes lit up.
He quickly said: "Yayi, don't hide! If I do anything wrong, you..."
"elder brother-"
Izumi Tetsu's voice stopped abruptly.
The girl stretched out her hands and hugged his waist.
"I didn't mean to avoid you, I just didn't know how to face you. Can you forgive me?"
His gaze softened.
He put his hand on her short hair, rubbed it, and said softly: "I thought I was disgusted by Mei Yi."
Amakusa Meiyi's eyes grew hot.
She raised her head and said with tears in her eyes: "I don't hate you! I like you the most."
He lowered his head and she slowly closed her eyes.
The tears that flowed from his eyes were wiped by his lips.
Immediately afterwards, their lips touched each other.
"Well!"
The girl whispered softly, hooked her arms around his neck, and immediately fell in love with his gentleness.
It wasn't until Amakusa Meiyi gently hit his shoulder that he let her go.
The red-faced girl wiped her lips and whispered: "We still need to prepare food..."
Izumi Tetsu's heart moved.
"Do you need help?"
"Then, don't cause trouble."
"I can't guarantee that."
Amakusa Meiyi frowned slightly, but looking at Izumi Tetsu's smiling face, she rolled her eyes at him again.
"I won't let you succeed."
After saying that, she took out his slippers from the shoe cabinet, put them on the floor, turned around and walked to the kitchen.
"I'm back?"
Izumi Toru said tentatively.
The girl turned around and smiled brightly at him.
"Welcome back."
The blush on the face has not faded away, and there is another tenderness added to it.
When Izumi Toru came to the kitchen, Amakusa Mei pointed at the freshly cleaned ingredients and said, "Take care of these."
"Um."
Izumi Toru washed his hands and began to handle the ingredients.
Amakusa Mei suddenly remembered the scene when Izumi Toru prepared food for her last time when she injured her ankle.
Although the taste was average, she ate a lot of it.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing.
The laughter is full of joy.
Izumi Toru turned his head, looked at her smiling face, and started laughing too.
The girl felt this gentle gaze.
She picked up a piece of food, put it to his mouth, and said, "Try it?"
Izumi Tetsu opened his mouth.
"Aww!"
The food and the girl's finger were bitten by him.
After a while, Amakusa Meiyi panicked and withdrew her hand, feeling as if her soul was being sucked away, and put it behind her back.
Izumi Toru chewed the food completely and swallowed it.
"How is the taste?"
"Great!" Izumi Toru said, extending his thumb.
As soon as her face showed joy, she heard what he had deliberately left unfinished.
"The smell of bud clothes!"
For a moment, the memory of that night flooded into my mind again.
Amakusa Meiyi fell into his arms as if she lost all her strength.
"Don't, don't say...such words..."
Izumi Toru gently hugged the girl's light body, lowered his head and smelled her hair.
Her whole body was wrapped in warmth, and this sentence suddenly came out of her heart: Like wings.
Reassuring.
Addicted.
I want to close my eyes.
She did so.
and raised his head.
The food in the pot exuded a strong aroma, lingering around their overlapping bodies.
