48 Touko, stranger
◎Sweet ice cream◎
Compared to Chihoko Hanano, it is much easier for Rei Furuya to get up.
As soon as he walked out of the dormitory, he took a quick look and suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow standing motionless at the door.
"Huh..." Furuya Rei clutched his heart and looked at the shadow—Zhufushi Jingguang. "When did you and Kazuko learn how to scare people so early in the morning?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang naturally didn't believe Jiang Gu Ling's words, "We had a physical examination together, how could I not know how strong your heart can withstand it?"
As he said this, Zhu Fujingguang looked around vigilantly and dragged Furuya Ling into the dormitory.
"Why are you still committing burglary?" Fūya Rei looked at Zhufushi Jingguang with amusement.
"I see that you've been hanging out with Kazuko for too long, and your painting style has become more funny and will never go back." Zhu Fujingguang's eyes were full of worry about You Junran's future.
Fūya Ling didn't take it seriously, putting his toiletries aside. "Tell me, why are you looking for me so mysteriously?"
Zhu Fujingguang looked at Jiang Gu Ling and asked, "You really don't know?"
In front of his most familiar child, Kotani Ran, Fūya Rei's pretended stupid look lasted only three seconds before he could no longer hold on.
Fūya Ling touched his nose and said, "Actually, I feel much better after talking to her last night."
Much better?
Zhu Fujingguang recalled that he was obviously drunk that night, but was still dragged up by Jiang Gu Ling. He was depressed, but at the same time he had to comfort Jiang Gu Ling about his tragic experience.
Early morning, early morning!
Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't understand why there were things that couldn't be said during normal human activities.
Thinking of the past, Zhu Fujingguang sighed deeply, and at the same time he was extremely skeptical about Fūya Ling's statement that "it's much better".
Zhu Fujingguang's questioning was mixed with a hint of curiosity. He sat down on the chair and adjusted his posture. "Tell me more."
Seeing that Furufu Jingguang was obviously looking at him with a confused look on his face, Fūya Rei felt a little helpless, but he still recounted everything that happened last night in detail.
"You mean to say..."
Zhu Fujingguang digested the information for a long time, then suddenly gave Jiang Gu Ling a strange look, his expression clearly showing a tendency to suppress laughter. "You were chased all the way by someone, and she almost caught you and beat you up?"
Faced with Yu Junran's gloating, there was an abnormal blush on the ears of Jōguchi Ling: "You...is this the point?!" After saying that, he still threw the towel on his shoulder at Zhufu Jingguang without feeling satisfied.
Zhu Fu Jingguang quickly took it, coughed lightly, and then managed to stop laughing. "Okay, let me be serious. So, are you going to retreat to the stage of being just friends?"
Furuya Rei remembered what Hanano Chiheko had said repeatedly on the phone and was silent for a moment. "She said she just wanted friends, and I did overstep my bounds. I shouldn't have brought up our past as childhood friends and demanded this and that from Kazuko, who didn't remember anything."
Seeing Fūya Rei's dejected expression, Zhufu Jingguang felt a sudden tightness in his chest and couldn't help but say, "But... this is also very unfair to you, isn't it?"
"This kind of thing...isn't that easy to explain."
Fūya Ling seemed to have thought of something, and the emotion in his eyes changed for a moment. He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Zhufu Jingguang seriously.
"Hiro, if her brother has been everything to her for the past ten years, then when she faces a stranger who has been absent for ten years and her beloved brother, what do you think she will choose?"
Zhu Fujingguang listened to Furuya Ling's words and corrected him with a look of reluctance on his face: "But even if we erase the past and put it aside, you are not a stranger now. You are her friend and someone very close to her."
Upon hearing this, a bitterness flashed across his eyes. He forced a smile and muttered, "Actually, I know the answer. The moment I asked... we all knew it."
Zhu Fu Jingguang was speechless for a moment, and finally spoke after a long while, "So what do you think?"
"Rather than destroying the little world that Kazuko has worked so hard to maintain over the years, the little world that she cherishes..."
Furuya Ling's expression gradually became firm. "Why not just let nature take its course? I'll do my best to make up for what I've lacked for her over the years."
"Huh? This is what you want to give me."
Hanano Chihoko stared at the giant ice cream Matsuda Jinpei gave her, feeling speechless. She didn't know how to adjust her expression for a moment. "Eating ice cream so early in the morning? It seems you're still determined to destroy me!"
"Look, little Jinpei." Hagiwara Kenji said to Matsuda Jinpei without a trace of surprise in his eyes, "I told you this wouldn't work."
Matsuda Jinpei was unconvinced: "Hey, hey, it was you who questioned me last night and then insisted on pulling me over to apologize this morning!"
"Xiao Zhenping did something so disrespectful to a girl yesterday, so he should have apologized immediately. Now, it's actually too late."
Hagiwara Kenji made his position clear, acting as if he was on the side of justice, not his relative: "Not everyone is as kind and generous as Kowako, waiting for you to go to the boxing gym and 'take time' to apologize."
"Ah." Hanano Chiheko, like a civet in a melon field, figured out what was going on from the conversation and immediately went to Hagiwara Kenji. She took the opportunity to be moved and wiped her tears while complaining:
"Kenji-chan is still considerate. You don't know how I have been through these years, wuwuwu~"
"The show is over." Matsuda Jinpei's eyes narrowed, and then he remembered that the ice cream he had carefully prepared was rejected. He looked a little disappointed and opened his mouth to eat it himself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, a round head grew on Matsuda Jinpei's hand, or more precisely, on the ice cream.
Are you kidding? Nothing that is put into Chiheko Hanano's mouth can be returned intact!
Witnessing everything, Kenji Hagiwara raised his eyebrows in surprise, but ultimately respected Hanano Chihoko's choice and quietly walked over to watch.
Because the scene was a bit funny, Matsuda Jinpei laughed for no reason.
"You. Don't. Want. To. Eat. Aren't. You?" Matsuda Jinpei shook his wrist with every word he said, and Hanano Chihoko had to shake her wrist left and right in embarrassment as well.
"Mmm..." Chihoko Hanano finally took a bite and took two steps back as if relieved, but she didn't expect that behind her was Kenji Hagiwara holding Asaka's arms.
Chihoko Hanano's teeth had been frozen to the point of numbness by the ice cream, but fortunately there was something that could divert her attention a little.
Hanano Chihoko raised her head and smiled what she thought was a perfect smile. While chewing her ice cream, she mumbled, "Kenji, um, you smell so good."
I have to say, from Hagiwara Kenji's perspective, Hanano Chihoko's smile is indeed very beautiful, if her lips weren't stained with chocolate from the ice cream...
Hagiwara Kenji lowered his eyelashes and wiped the corners of Hanano Chihoko's mouth in a very good mood. "Thank you for the compliment. If Xiaohezi likes it, you can..."
Oh, do you want to recommend a brand of perfume?
Just as Matsuda Jinpei finished thinking about the next sentence, Hagiwara Kenji smiled unusually kindly and said, "You can get closer to me next time."
"Cough cough cough." Matsuda Jinpei was suddenly choked by his own saliva and started coughing violently.
Hanano Chihoko was a little confused when she saw Hagiwara Kenji's generosity for the first time. "Ah, is this okay? Is this legal?"
“Of course not!!”
Chihoko Hanano suddenly felt a heaviness on her left shoulder.
The next moment, Matsuda Jinpei blushed and "pulled" Hanano Chihoko out of Hagiwara Kenji's arms.
His arms were empty, and Hagiwara Kenji put down his hands reluctantly, looking at his inexplicably angry little boy, Xunran, with a smile that deepened:
"If I remember correctly, this should only require the consent of the person concerned. Xiao Zhenping seems to be very concerned about it~"
"Ha, who cares about her!" Matsuda Jinpei deliberately raised his voice.
At the same time, Hanano Chiheko, who was still being "controlled" by Matsuda Jinpei, couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "If you don't care, let go!!!"
Jinpei Matsuda was brought back to his senses by Hanano Chihoko's shout. He let go instantly and pushed the ice cream with a clear and neat tooth mark on it to Hanano Chihoko in a disguised manner.
Matsuda Jinpei remembered the purpose of his visit and looked at Hanano Chiheko, "Alright, let's be serious. I sincerely apologize to you. It's all my fault. There will definitely not be a next time."
Before Chihoko Hanano could come out of the playful atmosphere, she found that Jinpei Matsuda had changed the channel on his own.
Looking at the ice cream in her hand, which was a little big but still quite sweet, Hanano Chiheko scratched her head and said, "I know, I know. Actually, I was just joking. I didn't really mean to blame you for anything."
Jinpei Matsuda looked at Chihoko Hanano, who was at a loss as to what to do because she was being soft-hearted and not tough, and a hint of happiness appeared on his face.
Seeing that the place had become inexplicably quiet, Chihoko Hanano raised her head hesitantly.
The moment before she saw Jinpei Matsuda looking at her, with an unconcealable smile in his eyes.
With a "pop", Kenji Hagiwara suddenly walked between Chihoko Hanano and Jinpei Matsuda, and put his hands together.
