First day on the shelves, thank you for your support]
The desk that has been organized is no longer blocked by various electronic parts, so it looks very empty.
Ishigami noticed a photo in the corner of the table, which was nicely mounted in the frame.
He picked up the photo frame. There was no dust on it. It should have been wiped thoroughly every day.
In the photo, Senior Hayasaka is smiling brightly, nestled next to another beautiful woman with a similar face and dignified blonde hair. That should be the senior's mother, but the two of them standing together look more beautiful than mother and daughter.
More like a pair of sisters.
"What, doesn't this make you smile happily?"
Compared to the fake smiles of the seniors just now, the smiles on this one are much more real and cute. This is Senior Hayasaka who looks like she wants to act coquettishly.
After adjusting her mentality and returning to her usual enthusiastic big sister mode, the maid returned to her room carrying the tea set for making coffee.
As a result, when she opened the door, she saw her younger brother Jun looking at her photo, and her face turned red.
Take a deep breath
"Calm down, that's just a photo."
He almost saw the more embarrassing side just now, but now this is nothing more than a trivial matter.
This kind of self-hypnosis restored her tranquility.
Ishigami heard the sound of the door opening, put down the photo album, and wanted to step forward to help the senior sister get those heavy-looking tea sets.
"Let me help you, Hayasaka-senpai."
Hayasaka shook his head and rejected him
"Thank you, Ishigami-kun."
"It's a rare time for you to come here, and I haven't even treated you well yet."
Then her blue eyes blinked mischievously at Ishigami, with a blush on her face and a very embarrassed tone
"Ishigami-kun, since you made me happy today, I will make an exception and let you be my master for once."
"Hey, this is a special service"
"I am your maid Hasaka-chan"
"Let me serve you well"
"Master"
When Ishigami heard the sweet tone of his senior sister, an unhealthy "master-servant game" plot appeared in his mind.
It's obviously just making a cup of coffee, but if you say it in this tone, it's very easy for people to misunderstand.
He couldn't help but his face darkened. This Thousand Layer Pancake Senior Sister really has a lot of drama.
Hayasaka put the tea set on the table, exuding the pressure of a top maid, and secretly made up her mind
"I bet my heart as a maid, I must satisfy my younger brother!"
She brewed coffee with great concentration, using coffee beans that were only used by the royal family. On weekdays, they were specially used to entertain dignitaries from the Shinomiya family.
Anyway, it would be a waste to give it to those guys to drink. It might as well be used to entertain her new "master".
In the past ten years, she had brewed countless cups of coffee, but she had never put so much thought into the cup in front of her. She wanted to put her own thoughts into it.
Making coffee is very simple, but making it well is difficult. This is no less than a martial artist constantly improving his skills. Just a little mistake will affect the taste.
Her refined skills make her movements look as graceful as flowing water. The finely ground coffee beans expand happily and beautifully under the gradual amount of hot water. Everything is going in the right direction. p>
Just like that, a cup of coffee full of girlish emotions was placed in front of Ishigami
"Please use"
Without too many verbal reminders, Hayasaka Ai stood next to the owner holding the plate, as if it was just an ordinary cup of coffee, and she was waiting quietly aside.
"Thank you"
Ishigami looked at the tea cup brought to him. The white porcelain contained mellow and clear black coffee. There was no trace of bubbles or impurities. It was quite pure. Just by smelling it, you could feel the refreshing aroma.
He glanced at the maid next to him who was so nervous that her whole body was stiff, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.
From the first bite, he felt this hot and heavy emotion, just like the love that a girl is destined to never get, it is so bitter.
It also has a wonderful, fleeting sourness. It's the kind of thing that can only stand behind you and pay attention to you silently, watching others being happy with the person you like, but you can only be a bystander. It feels really special.
of acid.
Then why is it fleeting? It's because it's a secret love. It's a secret love that's not even jealous, and can't be said. It's a lonely war in the heart. Even if the war has reached a critical juncture, only you know it.
But after the heavy bitterness dissipates, it turns out to be a small sweetness. Because I finally waited for an opportunity and I can possess you luxuriously. At this moment, you only belong to me.
This is a love that is particularly easy to satisfy and can be called humble. I don’t ask for you forever, I just ask for you to belong to me even for a second. So this little wish has come true. Now there are only you and me here. What else do I have?
Not satisfied.
What touched Ishigami the most was the indifferent sweetness at the end, which was particularly easy to empathize with.
He really wanted to hug this girl who was strong on the outside but extremely weak on the inside.
Everyone says coffee is bitter, but we insist on it, maybe just to get this unexpected sweetness.
He put down the teacup, looked at those slightly uneasy eyes, and slowly spoke
"Thank you, Hayasaka-senpai"
"I really like your coffee"
"This is really the best coffee I have ever tasted. If I could, I would even like to drink this cup of coffee every morning."
Ishigami asked in a half-serious, half-joking tone
"Haasaka-senpai, would you like to consider coming to my place?"
As for the degree of seriousness in his tone, only Ishigami himself knows.
He drank the coffee in the cup in one breath and continued.
"The salary and benefits can be negotiated. They are no worse than those offered by the Shinomiya family. In other words, they are crushing! I can give you whatever you want."
"Don't worry, senior. Although I don't have much power in my family now, I still have no problem protecting a girl."
"You also have your own life, don't you."
Hayasaka Ai was very satisfied when she first heard that he liked her coffee.
She had no extravagant expectations at all, let alone expected that he would suddenly throw out an olive branch and want to untie the shackles of her body. She was completely confused
It's like thinking of a consolation prize, but unexpectedly the special prize was awarded, that kind of surprise.
She is very happy and joyful. No words can describe her mood at this moment.
She really wanted to agree for a moment, but she knew how much trouble she would bring to her younger brother Jun once she agreed.
After living in a big family for so many years, I have seen countless dirty things. My younger brother is still at an impulsive age. He is not sensible, and I cannot be ignorant.
Brother Jun is just the second son in the family, and there is an older brother above him. Although the information she received is that the two brothers have a good relationship, people's hearts can change.
There are only interests and no brothers among the big chaebols, and she has seen too many fratricidal incidents.
In the future, the family power will definitely be inherited by the eldest son. Moreover, because I brought the old forces into conflict with their family, my younger brother’s status has really plummeted.
"Thank you, Ishigami-kun"
For the sake of her younger brother Jun's future, she cannot be selfish, even if she knows that as long as she agrees, all the things that make her unhappy will disappear.
I still have to refuse it
Hayasaka-senpai's hands holding the plate were so hard that they turned white, and her eyes were slightly red.
She pretended not to understand what Ishigami said and responded with the naughty tone just now
"I hate it, Ishigami-kun."
"I'm sorry for what you said, and it's not okay for you to do this."
"You were making fun of me with what you just said, I'm your senior sister."
"Just what I said just now that I want to drink coffee made by you every day is a confession, right?"
She put down the plate and fanned herself at her red face
"Ishigami-kun is really evil, to be able to say such things to a girl so casually."
"Don't say these words next time."
"Senior, I won't be angry this time, but I might hit you if you meet a serious girl."
There is no place for her in his future
Hayasaka Ai knows very well
So now that I have said my rejection, I only need to say "Expulsion Order" again, and that will put an end to everything.
But Zhuke's words are stuck in my throat and I can't say them out
"What is this feeling?"
Hayasaka Ai, whose heart is intertwined with guilt, love, inferiority, and the pressure of reality, cannot speak her true thoughts frankly, directly triggering the "little heart" hidden effect.
From that moment on, she knew
"Everything I have prepared can no longer be said."
Hayasaka Ai felt a sadness in her heart that was so heavy that she couldn't breathe. It suddenly grabbed her heart and made her unable to breathe.
The face that was pretending to be relaxed could no longer be maintained, and a rather sad smile appeared
It’s so strange, I can’t stop crying
"Ishigami-kun"
"Can you hug me..."
Ishigami suddenly saw Hayasaka-senpai, who just seemed to be rejecting people thousands of miles away, suddenly changed into a different person. She was now immersed in an unspeakable sadness.
There was originally a strong protective film in her blue eyes, blocking all outside exploration, but now that protective thing disappeared.
In short, she is now in a state of defenselessness. Through her eyes, the inner uneasiness, grievance, apology, and guilt directly bring her to the verge of collapse.
Ishigami never expected that the first person to trigger his passive hiding effect would be Hayasaka-senpai.
This is the first time he has encountered this kind of situation. He doesn't know how long it will last, but he should do as she asks.
After all, he was the one who made her become such a crybaby.
He sighed, stretched out his arms and hugged the shivering Hayasaka-senpai, hearing her soft sobs in his ears.
He patted her back rhythmically, humming a gentle song like a baby.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid"
"I'm here"
After coaxing her like this for a while, the trembling in her arms stopped, and her sobbing was intermittent but almost stopped.
Ishigami thought for a while, standing was not conducive to her relaxation. Now that her mood has improved a little, let's change places.
Feeling the hand holding her loosen, the girl buried in his arms raised her pitiful eyes to look at Shi Shang, her mouth curled up, as if she was about to cry loudly again.
Faced with her expression of "If you don't hold me, I will cry for you", he helplessly touched her head and comforted her
"Don't worry, I'm just changing places."
In this state, Hayasaka-senpai is too clingy, and she doesn’t want to be separated from him even for a second.
He originally wanted to sit on the ground with his back against the edge of the bed, but because there was a soft carpet on the ground, it was okay to hold his senior sister.
But the senior sister shook her head and expressed her resistance. She patted the bed next to her
Ishigami originally wanted to refuse, but with those round little beast-like eyes, he couldn't refuse.
Then Ishigami leaned against the bed, making himself her flesh pad, holding her with both hands, and wrapping her with his body.
Feeling the warmth, Hayasaka-senpai nuzzled around like a kitten and found a comfortable position. Then after a while, the intermittent crying sounds disappeared and turned into steady breathing.
Looking at her pitiful face still stained with tears, he touched her long golden hair
"How old are you to still cry so much?"
"But"
"Go to sleep, Hayasaka-senpai."
.....
The sound of "dinging bells" came from outside, accompanied by the roar of girls and the sound of boys running away in a panic.
"Ah, President, why are you in my bed!"
"Scumbag, I can't believe it!"
"It's too outrageous to attack a girl in her sleep!"
"Get out of here quickly!"
"Miss?"
Hayasaka Ai, who seemed to have had a rather comfortable sleep, was directly awakened by these roars, and she furrowed her beautiful brows
"Are you awake?"
Hearing the gentle boy's voice in her ear, Hayasaka Ai, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly widened her sleepy eyes.
Turning around stiffly, he saw a smiling face. The distance between their faces was no more than ten centimeters.
Her face turned red all of a sudden, and just thinking about it for a moment, her brain completely replayed everything that had just happened before she fell asleep.
She covered her already red face with both hands and let out a cute wail
"Ahhh!"
"How is it possible"
"I actually took the initiative!"
Ishigami sighed, he was so tired
He really wanted to say this to the girl who was still in his arms and refused to get up
"Senior sister, since you are already awake, why don't you get up if you are still so shy!"
"And don't mess around!"
He really accepted it, it was already very uncomfortable!
Ishigami took a few deep breaths and said reluctantly
"Senior, I think I heard Shinomiya-senpai calling you."
Hayasaka-senpai has long since gotten over her shyness at the beginning, and now she is in a bad state. After all, she gave it to herself for free.
As for the eldest lady’s shouting, it’s probably something insignificant.
She stood up with resentment, smoothed the wrinkles on her body, looked at him on the bed, and cursed in a low voice
"Cheapskate"
"I'll take care of you when I come back"
She has already given it to her for free. What if I let her lie down for a while? She won't lose any meat.
Expressionless Hayasaka appeared in front of the eldest lady's room, looking at the items on the floor. She was already unhappy, and veins were jumping on her forehead at this moment.
"Excuse me, what happened, Miss Kaguya."
The disheveled Shinomiya-senpai said angrily to Hayasaka
"I really can't believe that the president actually climbed into my bed while I was sleeping."
Hearing the eldest lady's words, Hayasaka Ai's eyes suddenly widened
"Ah, Miss Kaguya..."
An incredible thought appeared in her mind, and she directly held her forehead.
So
Did the two sisters give it all for free tonight?
Shinomiya Kaguya then looked at her body in panic, looking up and down
"Haasaka...Haasaka...how far have the president and I grown?"
Looking at Hayasaka who was stunned on the spot, Shinomiya Kaguya said dissatisfied
"Haasaka, what are you thinking about!"
Hayasaka Ai heard the urging and shook her head helplessly
"Miss Kaguya, I've never been this stupid before."
What is really going to happen? Miss, do you still have the energy to yell at me here?
It took her an hour to explain clearly to the eldest lady that President Baiyin did nothing, and eldest lady, you are still innocent.
Hayasaka Ai returned to her room. The room was still dark. The wind came in through the open window and blew the curtains.
But she noticed that there was a note on the desk, pressed with a photo album
It says
To the lovely maid
"I want to take off the mask from your face with my own hands."
She held the note, looked out the window, and cursed in a low voice
"Idiot"
"If you can do it, just come"
"I'm not afraid of you..."
Walking on the stones on the street, I seemed to hear the sound of the wind and chuckled.
