“Don’t worry, I won’t leave.”

When the words came out, the girl beside him froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, but in the dark night, her heartbeat seemed to speed up slightly.

……

“Aren’t you going out today?”

On Sunday morning, Chihaya Aine woke up and found that her brother was no longer in the bedroom. She got up, combed her hair, changed into her pajamas, and saw her brother in the living room.

“Rest at home for a while today and go back in the evening.”

“Oh……”

After hearing that her brother would return to his apartment at night, Chihaya Aine curled her lips slightly, then poured herself a cup of hot water and sat down next to Izumi in a sullen manner.

“Do I need to contact the lights?”

“Why is it Deng? Shouldn’t we contact Shuangshi?”

At this moment, Quan didn’t quite understand what his sister was thinking, and his eyes fell on her.

“Deng can’t be with you all the time, but Shuangshi can appear in front of you whenever she wants, right?”

“Why don’t you consider inviting both of you over?”

“Sure, if you don’t mind.”

Faced with Izumi’s suggestion, Chihaya Aine did not hesitate at all. She picked up her mobile phone, opened her Line, and shook it gently at Izumi, as if to confirm whether she really wanted to call both of them over.

“Call the other two, and we can all do band activities.”

“Hmm~”

Chihaya Aine put down her phone and didn’t really call the two of them over. Her eyes fell on the TV playing the morning drama, and she felt that the content was a little boring.

“You’ll be back in the afternoon. Do you want to go shopping together in the afternoon?”

“It’s too cold. I’ll probably just go back and rest.”

I was a little curious about what the two mothers would talk about when they met, and I didn’t know how my mother would react when she returned home.

‘When the two meet, they probably won’t discuss too in-depth issues, after all, it’s their first meeting.’

He didn’t need to worry about his mother coming home and saying to him “You embarrassed me”, but other things still made Quan feel a little concerned.

Not long after getting up, Quan felt extremely tired.

“Is it okay if you don’t have any rest?”

Noticing the fatigue between Izumi’s brows, Chihaya Aine came up to him and asked softly.

“No, I just thought of something troubling.”

“Can’t you tell me?”

His eyes fell on his sister’s face in front of him and he just smiled. Seeing his reaction, Chihaya Aine did not ask any further questions and silently withdrew her gaze.

The two of them spent the whole morning in the living room, and when it was noon, Izumi prepared lunch. After lunch, Aine went back to her room, while Izumi still sat in the living room, quietly waiting for the result.

……

“Because of my work, I am often not by my daughter’s side and cannot meet her spiritual needs. At this time, Quan’s appearance solved this worry for me. He took care of my daughter and made up for the doubts I had when I was not by her side. I am very grateful to him for this.”

In a western-style restaurant, Ms. Nagasaki’s eyes fell on Izumi’s mother, looking at the woman in front of her with short hair but a gentle temperament.

Although it was their first meeting, based on her experience, Quan’s mother should be a gentle person.

“No way, Quan is lucky to know a lovely girl like Shuangshi.”

Even though she knew that her son was excellent, it was still a novel experience for Mrs. Chihaya to hear praise for Izumi from the mouth of a person with a special status. After the other party finished speaking, she also praised his daughter.

“The two children have a very good relationship. If they were not too old, I would actually be happy to let Shuangshi and Quan get married.”

“…”

Mrs. Chihaya, who had originally had the same thought, felt a bit weird for a moment when she heard these words from the other party, feeling both happy and embarrassed.

At first, she thought that the pink-haired girl would become her son’s girlfriend, but she didn’t expect it to be the girl named Nagasaki Soyo. When she thought about what happened some time ago, Mrs. Chihaya couldn’t help feeling a little ashamed.

“Does she know? No…I don’t think she knows, right?”

Mrs. Chihaya sighed secretly in her heart and showed an expression of regret on her face.

“Indeed, the two children are still a little young, which is a bit regrettable.”

Upon hearing this, Ms. Nagasaki’s mouth corners suddenly raised, her eyes fell on Mrs. Chihaya, and she asked softly.

“How about this, since the two children have a good relationship, and…Mrs. Chihaya also has this idea, why not let the two children live together first, and then register for marriage when they are of the required age, how about that?”

“Eh?”

Mrs. Chihaya was stunned for a moment, and looked at the ‘mother-in-law’ (to be determined) in front of her, with a look of surprise on her face.

Thinking that her son had just moved out and the other party had already made such a suggestion, it was hard for Mrs. Chihaya not to suspect that this was a suggestion that the other party had prepared long ago.

“If I live with the other party’s daughter, Izumi will be more restrained, right?”

Thinking of her son’s current bad tendencies, Mrs. Chihaya was inclined to agree in her heart, but considering her son’s personality, it was not easy to make a decision so quickly.

“The two of you have a good relationship, and neither of you should reject this suggestion. Does Madam Chihaya have any concerns?”

“…”

Facing the other party’s gaze, Mrs. Chihaya felt as if she was in a difficult situation, but she quickly thought of some reasonable explanations and tried to shirk the responsibility.

“Living together is a good suggestion… But your daughter is studying in Tsuki no Mori, right? You two go to different schools, and if you live together, it will be troublesome to go to school. In addition… you two are still very young, and if something unexpected happens… it will have a big impact on both of you, so I think it’s better to think carefully about living together.”

Mrs. Chihaya’s answer surprised Ms. Nagasaki a little, but considering these points, it was normal to reject the proposal of cohabitation.

However, she came to meet Mrs. Chihaya today mainly to gain more advantages for her daughter, and she couldn’t give up so easily. She smiled and began to persuade her.

……

Quan, who was at home, waited until 15: p.m. before he saw his mother return home.

Mrs. Chihaya, who was full of energy when she went out, revealed obvious fatigue in her eyes when she returned home. Seeing Izumi sitting on the sofa, she walked to Izumi’s side, sat down directly, and leaned her head tiredly on Izumi’s shoulder.

“Thanks for your hard work.”

“…The other party is trying very hard to make you live with her daughter. Quan, do you have any ideas?”

Faced with her son’s caring greetings, Mrs. Chihaya didn’t even bother to look up at him, but just asked quietly.

490

Chapter 490 Picked up the future father-in-law?

Living with Nagasaki Soyo.

Hearing what her mother said, Quan, who was sitting on the sofa, was not surprised at all. Given Ms. Nagasaki’s personality, it was natural for her to strive for advantages in all aspects for her daughter.

And, judging from my mother’s reaction, she obviously didn’t agree.

“She occasionally stays overnight at my apartment now, which is no different from living together, except that we don’t live together every day. If she lives with me for a long time, her mother will be alone, so there is no need for us to live together.”

The following content is just an excuse, but to Lady Chihaya, it is still a relatively reasonable excuse.

Sighing softly, Mrs. Chihaya raised her head and looked at her son.

“I’m so tired. You should prepare dinner tonight.”

“……Um.”

Judging from his mother’s reaction, her meeting with Ms. Nagasaki today had exhausted her energy, and her eyes showed fatigue. Therefore, it was reasonable for him to prepare dinner.

He helped prepare dinner at home and called Aine who was in the room. After the family had dinner, he went out and prepared to return to his apartment.

Originally, Chihaya Aine wanted to go with her brother, but this time she was stopped by Mrs. Chihaya and asked to stay at home quietly.

Chihaya Aine was a little dissatisfied when she was stopped, but she just complained and went back to her room to rest. She had just finished dinner and was now in a state of fatigue. Her desire to go out was not as strong as before.

……

Without my sister by my side, the journey back to the apartment seemed a little quiet.

On a street just before the station, a man staggered in front of Quan. His thin clothes and staggering steps made him look like a drunkard.

‘It has nothing to do with me.’

If you walk on the streets of Shinjuku late at night, you can see similar people everywhere, but Quan has no interest in this kind of people.

Keeping a distance means protecting your own life.

But in such cold weather, the other party was only wearing a dirty shirt, his hair was disheveled, and his beard was unkempt. He looked like an unemployed young man, which made Quan sigh in his heart that the current economic situation was becoming more and more severe.

Just as the two were getting closer, the drunk man suddenly staggered and fell to the ground.

“…”

Quan paused for a moment, his eyes falling on the man.

“After freezing here for a night… I should be able to go see Princess Celestia, right?”

He looked around and it seemed that there was no one familiar with him coming out. A trace of helplessness appeared on Quan’s face. If the other person was wearing thicker clothes, there would be no problem sleeping here for a night, but with such thin clothes, it would probably be difficult to survive the night.

“Call the patrol, well, they should be able to handle this.”

Just as Quan was about to make a phone call to ask public officials to come and help this man who looked like he was in trouble, the mumbling from the other party made Quan stop.

“…I’m sorry… Xiangzi…I’m sorry…darling…I…”

As if hearing a familiar name, Quan stopped what he was doing and walked slowly to the other person. Looking at the man lying on the ground, Quan’s eyes fell on his hair. The hair color was not the same. After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his hand and placed it on the other person’s face, lifting his face up.

Although it’s not very obvious, she does look somewhat like Toyokawa Shoko.

After a moment’s silence, Quan took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the other person’s face, then loosened his hand, let the other person’s face return to the ground, took two steps back, and took a full-body picture of the other person.

I opened Toyokawa Shoko’s Line and sent a message to her.

[I met a drunk person on the road]

……

With the help of Quan, Toyokawa Shoko no longer needed to work part-time. When Quan didn’t give her any news, she didn’t want to go back to that dark corner, and would usually read in a quiet place.

She would return to that place after everyone at home had rested for a while, and then go to school when the sun rose.
