Peel off the mask from your face and discard it.
Looking at her own smooth, youthful face in the mirror, Akemi, a woman well past her teenage years, wore a girlish smile:
"I haven't seen him for two years, I wonder what he's become."
"According to Guangyou, he cut off his long hair."
"Short hair..."
"I really don't know what he looks like now."
They haven't seen each other since he confessed to her two years ago.
For the safety of both parties, she did not take the initiative to contact them.
They even destroyed all the photos of the two of them.
Snapping out of her reverie, Akemi turned and glanced at the bathroom door, muttering to herself:
"Shiho and the others should be alright by now, right?"
She knew that the two of them hadn't progressed to the French stage yet; they had only touched lips to lips.
Therefore, she felt that the two of them should be able to finish by the time she was wearing a face mask.
However, just to be on the safe side, Mingmei opened the door a crack and peeked into the living room.
Seeing that Guangyou was sitting on the sofa with Xiao Ai in his arms, she pushed open the door and walked out of the bathroom.
She knew her sister was rather shy about this, so she naturally wouldn't mention what she had just seen.
Sitting in the rocking chair, Mingmei watched the two people still whispering sweet nothings to each other after she came out. After a few seconds, she coughed lightly twice:
"Cough cough~"
A sudden cough stopped the two from their conversation.
The two looked up, and Ai finally saw Akemi.
The tone of his voice even carried a hint of surprise:
"Sister? Are you done washing up?"
“…” Akemi was speechless.
So we didn't even notice she came out...
Is she really that inconspicuous?
In the end, Akemi still gave Ai face.
Even though her younger sister ignored her, she didn't bring up the incident from earlier, only saying with a hint of weariness:
"I just came out."
"You guys keep talking, don't worry about me."
She was just saying that to remind the two of their limits.
Even if you're very much in love, be mindful of the occasion.
She's already broken into it twice today.
The last time they were caught, the two of them stopped shyly.
She was a little embarrassed at the time; if she hadn't caught them, they would have already kissed.
But this time, after the two of them discovered her, Kōyū continued on his own initiative, and Ai did not push him away.
Perhaps we didn't notice her just now;
Or perhaps, just like during the day, he noticed her but didn't care at all.
In any case, the two of them are really...
She really didn't know how to describe the two of them.
The fact that their relationship is stable is something she, as their older sister, is happy to see, and she hopes that their relationship can continue like this.
But their behavior of showering each other with affection is really...
"Fine, let's leave it at that."
She decided to abandon the idea of having the two of them tone it down.
But she didn't expect that the two of them would actually take it seriously.
He casually uttered an "oh" as a response, and then the two turned their heads back to whisper sweet nothings to each other.
She could occasionally hear Ai's soft laughter.
“...”
"These two have really gone too far."
Even if she hopes for a stable relationship between the two, Akemi is still single because she hasn't met Shuichi Akai yet.
Although I have a partner, it's practically the same as not having one now.
She ate quite a lot of dog food last time, but this time there was even more.
The last time the two of them came, they were mindful of her presence.
My younger sister mostly chats with me, and we talk about what has happened during this time.
this time...
She simply couldn't stand it anymore.
Having eaten too much dog food, Akemi pulled out her trump card:
"that..."
"Well then, it's rare for the two of you to come to my apartment."
"I'll sleep on the sofa tonight, you two can sleep in my room."
These words stopped their conversation. Guangyou looked up and politely declined:
"I don't think this is a bit of a good idea?"
"I'll sleep on the sofa."
"You two sisters haven't seen each other for a while, have a good chat."
"It's just the two of you talking..."
Akemi still didn't say it aloud; she was just about to say to Kōyū:
"It's okay, you go to sleep."
"I still have a quilt there."
Since the last time Kousuke and Ai spent the night on the sofa, she not only bought Kousuke clothes but also prepared an extra set of bedding.
But at this moment, she noticed a key point:
So Ai didn't refuse?
She was certain that if she had said that last time, Ai would have blushed and said:
"elder sister!"
But now there isn't one.
Does this mean the two of them have gotten used to this?
Actually, that's not the case.
Even though this has happened between the two of them more than once, Ai still feels shy, especially in front of Akemi.
However, she knew that Guangyou had refused on her behalf.
So he didn't say anything.
Since the words had already been spoken, Akemi couldn't just stop there; she continued to say them:
"It's okay, you go to sleep."
"I still have a quilt there."
Knowing the personality of the "little kitten" in his arms, Guangyou continued to politely decline:
"No need, sis."
"I'll just sleep on the sofa."
At this moment, he also realized that he and Ai had entered their usual way of interacting when they were alone, forgetting that they were in Akemi Apartment.
