Chapter 57 Discussion, Refusal
Living room, around the dining table.
"It's still more comfortable to stay at home."
Having finished breakfast, Shimizu Setsukatsu sat in a chair.
He rested his cheek on his right hand, admiring the courtyard view outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
After spending the night in the hospital ward, she returned to the villa early this morning.
Shimizu Setsukatsu plans to stay home and rest for the next few days.
She didn't want to die from overwork like her older sister.
As for company matters, Shimizu Setsukatsu will handle them online.
Just then, she caught a glimpse of Shimizu Ai hurrying down the stairs out of the corner of her eye.
Shimizu Setsukatsu glanced at the time on the wall again; it was already past seven.
If Shimizu Ai eats breakfast again, she'll probably be late for school.
However, Shimizu Setsugeki was prepared for this.
"Xiao Ai, I just had Yamamoto pack your breakfast."
"You can take it with you to eat on the way or at school, which will save you time."
Shimizu Setsukatsu pointed to the breakfast box that had already been prepared on the table opposite her.
"Thank you, Auntie. I'm off to school now."
Shimizu Ai kept her head slightly lowered, seemingly not wanting Shimizu Setsukatsu to see her current appearance.
She walked quickly to the dining table and picked up the breakfast box.
Then, as if there were some monstrous beast behind them, they fled the living room.
Shimizu Setsugeki naturally noticed her niece's unusual behavior.
"What's wrong with Xiao Ai? Is there some kind of man-eating beast following her?"
Shimizu Setsukatsu looked towards the stairwell and saw Hoshino Makoto walking down the stairs.
"Xiao Zhen, get up."
Upon seeing Hoshino Makoto coming down the stairs, Shimizu Setsukatsu's attention was diverted.
I temporarily forgot about my niece Shimizu Ai's unusual behavior just now.
Good morning, Auntie.
As soon as Hoshino Shin came down the stairs, he heard Shimizu Setsukatsu calling his name.
He saw Shimizu Setsukatsu sitting at the dining table and smiled subconsciously.
[Shimizu Setsukatsu saw your smile; she had never seen such a beautiful smile before. Love value +10]
[Qingshui Xueyue was captivated by your smile; she was amazed by it, her amazement level increased by 15.]
Looking at your smiling face, Shimizu Setsukyo felt her heart suddenly race; her affection level increased by 20.
At the dining table, Shimizu Setsukatsu sat there, looking at Hoshino Makoto who was smiling at her.
His expression froze for a few seconds.
However, the next moment, Shimizu Setsukatsu turned her head away, her eyes darting around.
Looking at the system notification that suddenly popped up in front of him, and at the appearance of Shimizu Setsukatsuki.
Hoshino Makoto realized it; it was the effect of his uniquely charming bright eyes and white teeth.
You have a beautiful smile, and people will like you because of your smile.
So young man, please don't smile easily.
How could he have forgotten about that again?
I just told myself that I shouldn't smile at the people around me so easily.
How come you've forgotten again?
That's a terrible smile. You're awful.
Hoshino sighed inwardly; he was also helpless.
After all, he couldn't very well put on a blank expression in front of his third sister, Shimizu Ai, and his aunt, Shimizu Setsukatsu.
Hoshino Makoto's smile vanished, and his rudimentary acting skills began.
He went to the dining table, pretended to be nonchalant, and began to eat breakfast.
Next to Hoshino Makoto, Shimizu Setsukatsu sat.
She only glanced at the small figure sitting next to her out of the corner of her eye.
Xiao Zhen's smile is so beautiful.
Is it just my imagination, or something else?
Shimizu Setsukatsu clutched her chest, the image of Hoshino Makoto smiling at her flashing through her mind.
The next moment, Shimizu Setsukatsu seemed to have thought of something.
Her cool, beautiful eyes widened slightly as she recalled Shimizu Ai's unusual behavior earlier.
Then I thought of Ai Shimizu and Shinichi Hoshino going down the stairs one after the other.
And just now, Hoshino Mana's smile was so beautiful it was breathtaking.
Shimizu Setsukatsu understood; she knew why Shimizu Ai had been in such a hurry just now.
Even seeing Xiao Zhen's smile makes her heart race.
Not to mention her niece, who had absolutely no resistance.
. . . . . .
Aoyama National University, Affiliated College of Higher Education.
In the classroom, in the last row.
Shimizu Ai sat there blankly.
She didn't hear a word the teacher was saying on the podium.
She couldn't understand it either.
"Xiao Ai, what's wrong?"
Next to Shimizu Ai.
Seeing this, Akizuki Miki nudged her deskmate with her elbow.
"It's nothing, it's nothing."
Shimizu Ai shook her head and muttered to herself.
No, sister, you're lying through your teeth.
Do you think I'd believe you, given how distracted you look right now?
Seeing how absent-minded Shimizu Ai had been since arriving at school.
Akizuki Miki was very curious about what had happened to her deskmate.
That's why it's turned out like this.
Akizuki Miki was preparing to elbow Shimizu Ai again.
But the next moment, Shimizu Ai suddenly looked at her.
Her eyes held a mixture of embarrassment and longing.
"If it's not Shimizu Ai, what do you want?"
Akizuki Miki covered her chest with both hands.
"Miki, my sexual orientation is normal."
Seeing her good classmate act like this, Shimizu Ai's face immediately darkened.
Does she seem like that kind of person?
Just kidding, don't take it seriously.
Akizuki Miki lowered her hand and said with a smile.
Upon seeing Akizuki Miki's smile, Shimizu Ai paused for a moment.
However, she quickly realized what was happening.
"Miki, there's something I want to tell you."
"Go ahead and say it."
"I don't think there's anything fun at my house. Why don't I come to your house to play?"
Today is Thursday, tomorrow is Friday.
It's also the first day of spring break.
The day before yesterday, Shimizu Ai agreed to go to Akizuki Miki's house to play.
"It's not Xiao Ai, you promised me the day before yesterday."
Akizuki Miki stared wide-eyed at Shimizu Ai in disbelief.
"I did agree, so I'm discussing this with you."
Shimizu Ai blushed slightly, clearly embarrassed by what she had said.
"I disagree, absolutely disagree."
Akizuki Miki shook her head repeatedly, her long golden hair shimmering in the sunlight streaming into the classroom.
Shimizu Ai gritted her teeth slightly, thinking of the smile that Makoto had given her that morning.
It's so beautiful it's breathtaking, so beautiful it's unforgettable.
Like a ruthless robber, completely unreasonable.
She didn't want others to see that smile.
Even her best deskmate and good friend, Akizuki Miki.
