A pair of big eyes flickered at Kato Yusuke, and Ogiwara Sayu's words were full of excitement.
"This is the second floor! He jumped up all of a sudden like 'boom--'. Is Yusuke a superman?"
As he spoke, his body was still squirming restlessly.
"Don't move." Kato Yusuke patted her on the head and said, "If you move again, I won't care about you."
Her wet long hair was wrapped in a large white towel, and Kato Yusuke wiped her carefully with both hands on the ground.
The girl's nearly brown black hair pours down from her head like a waterfall and hangs on her shoulders. It is also shiny like silk, as if it is covered with a layer of gauze.
"alright."
Kato Yusuke said calmly and took the towel off her head. The hair inside was already half dry.
"that's it."
"Thank you~"
Sayu said sweetly, then shook her head left and right, the evening breeze blew her hair, fluttering gently in front of her bright moon-like face.
Seeing this, Kato Yusuke got up and closed the door and window, then came to the kitchen, picked up the tray placed on the counter, walked over to Sayu and sat down.
"Take medicine."
He took out a few white pills from the aluminum foil and handed them to Sayu.
Her face was flushed after just taking a bath. Sayu Ogiwara was sitting on the quilt with her calves facing outward. She was wearing blue pajamas and had a pleasant shampoo smell all over her body.
"What's this?"
She pointed at the thing in Kato Yusuke's hand and asked, her voice a little muffled.
"Cold medicine and vitamins."
Yu Kato spoke concisely and concisely, looked into her eyes and said: "Take the medicine and go to bed early, so that the cold will be cured."
"Hey~~~, but Yusuke hasn't answered my question yet."
Sayu Ogiwara pouted and said slightly childishly.
Kato Yusuke didn't answer, just looked at her calmly, his dark eyes were like a deep ancient well, which made Sayu calm down all of a sudden.
"Do you want to eat or not?"
"……eat."
Sayu agreed glumly and raised his hand to get the medicine with a very unwilling expression.
Seeing this, Kato Yusuke's mouth curved slightly.
The girl's fingers are long and thin, like the tips of new bamboo shoots after the rain.
"Um……"
The fingertips stayed on the palm of her hand for a few seconds. Sayu Ogiwara retracted her hand after thinking. Facing Kato Yusuke's questioning eyes, she put her index finger to her mouth and turned her head to look at him.
"I have to eat anyway, why don't you feed me Yusuke...it hurts!"
Sayu held her head in pain and said.
"As a patient, I feel somewhat conscious."
Kato Yusuke retracted his finger and said calmly.
"When you've had enough trouble, take medicine as soon as possible."
"Woo..."
A circle of red marks appeared on his snow-white forehead, and tears rolled in his eyes. Feeling aggrieved and sad, Sayu grabbed the medicine from Kato Yusuke's hand and threw it into his mouth, and drank it with water.
"That's it!"
She placed the cup heavily on the tray, then buried her face in the quilt, looking away from Yusuke Kato angrily, her body twitching.
Kato Yusuke didn't mind either. He packed up his things calmly and looked at Sayu who was still hiding under the quilt. After thinking for a moment, he reached out and touched her exposed little head and said gently.
"You did a great job and are a good boy."
The movement in the quilt suddenly stagnated, and then became quiet. A few seconds later, some awkward sounds came from inside.
"I'm not a child..."
Sayu said.
"Yes, you are not."
As he spoke, Kato Yusuke stood up.
"Have a good rest."
The sound of thumping footsteps sounded in the room, and the sound seemed to be heading outside?
Sayu secretly pulled down the quilt and saw Kato Yusuke holding a schoolbag in his hand, looking like he didn't know where he was going.
"Wait a moment--!"
She sat up anxiously.
"where you go……!?"
Kato Yusuke paused, turned around, picked up the schoolbag in his hand and said to her.
"I'm reading in the bathroom. If you need anything, please call me."
"Eh...?" Sayu couldn't help but be stunned, "Wouldn't it be better to stay here if you want to read?"
Kato Yusuke shook his head: "That will affect your rest."
"...Is this why?"
"Um."
As he said that, he looked at Sayu Ogiwara, his eyes thoughtful.
"Are you thinking about something strange?"
Hearing Kato Yusuke's words, Sayu gently shook his head to deny it, and then said.
"It's good to be here."
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't mind me, I can fall asleep even with the light on." Ogiwara Sayu exhaled a long breath and looked directly at Kato Yusuke: "In other words, I will feel more at ease if Yusuke is here.
"
"So please, please stay by my side..."
Her voice became softer and softer, her ears were red and hot, and her courage left her body like a cocoon. But even so, she still did not look away and looked at Kato Yusuke firmly.
"...Is it necessary to use honorifics for this kind of thing?"
Kato Yusuke was a little speechless. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said.
"...I don't care if I can't sleep after that."
This is agreed.
A gorgeous smile immediately bloomed on the girl's face, like a blooming peach blossom. She looked at Kato Yusuke with crooked eyebrows and said in response.
“Okay~~”
"Then wait a minute." As he said that, Kato Yusuke bent down and dug out a small desk lamp from the cabinet in the corridor. Then he stood up and walked towards the living room, turning off the light in the process.
The room suddenly fell into darkness.
He groped his way to sit down next to Sayu, fixed the lamp on the low table, and turned on the switch.
The desk lamp immediately gave off a soft yellow light.
"At least this will be better."
Then he took out the textbook from his schoolbag and put it on the table, then asked Sayu: "Will it be dazzling?"
Sayu shook his head gently: "Not at all."
"That's good."
Kato Yusuke nodded and signaled Ogiwara Sayu to go to bed with his eyes, while he started reading a book.
Under the dim light, Kato Yusuke was lying on the table, his expression focused and serious.
The mechanical pencil in his hand was writing and drawing on the notebook from time to time, as if he was recording something.
Sayu Ogiwara was lying on the quilt and watching this scene quietly, the expression on his face kept changing, as if he was hesitating about something.
Time ticked by, I don’t know how long it took, and Ogiwara Sayu finally made up her mind.
She quietly stretched out one hand from the quilt, took Yusuke Kato's left hand hanging on her knee with her right hand, and then clasped her hands behind her back.
The calm lake surface stirred up a ripple.
Kato Yusuke made a move and prepared to pull out.
"Aju..."
A small voice came from beside me.
After a period of silence, Kato Yusuke let out a long sigh.
