This is fine too...
She glanced up slightly at Hayakawa, who was sleeping with her head down, and then at Nino, who had a serious expression.
If Nino and Hayakawa were together, this scene might become a daily occurrence. Hayakawa would often come to their house, and Nino could wash his hair like this, study with him, go to temple fairs with him, and carry him home if he got drunk. The two of them would walk hand in hand through the lonely, boundless night...
Thinking about it this way, it seems like a good idea.
Four Leaf thought to herself, revealing a carefree and innocent smile. She had never been particularly bright, nor did she ever dare to have any extra thoughts. In her eyes, the world was so vast, so terrifying, while she herself was just a tiny person. Even her dreams and wishes were small. Being too greedy would be punished, so she never dared to have too many extravagant hopes.
So this small wish should be fulfilled. Even if I feel lost, if Hayakawa and Nino become family, we can still live together, get together often, go out to eat together, and... And Nino will be very happy, and I'm sure I'll be happy too.
She's an easily satisfied girl, so this is enough for her.
Yotsuba thought to herself, secretly glancing at Hayakawa's profile, which was faintly visible in the flowing water. She remembered how she always carefully watched him, but she rarely showed it and didn't dare to get too close, just like she was in elementary school, always following Hayakawa like a little tail.
Hayakawa never listened in class back then; he would just sleep on his desk and wouldn't get up even after class. So, whenever get out of class ended, I would move a chair next to him and wait for him to wake up before happily chatting with him about nonsensical, illogical things.
Yotsuba recalled Hayakawa's grades. Back then, his grades were very poor, even as poor as hers. He never thought about studying and spent most of his time at school daydreaming and wandering around. Yotsuba didn't have much interest in studying either, so she always followed him around like a simpleton.
But one day, Hayakawa suddenly started studying hard. He began to listen attentively in class, and his once clean notebook began to be filled with dense notes. His textbooks, which he had never even opened, gradually started to get creased. Yotsuba didn't know why this was happening, but she naturally followed his example and studied with him. However, she could never work as hard as him, and her grades fell further and further behind.
Yotsuba was both happy and sad. She was happy that Hayakawa was so amazing, his grades had improved so much, but she was sad that she couldn't keep up with him and that he worked so hard. But what could she do? He was so amazing, and she was so useless, she couldn't catch up with his grades at all. But even so, she could still be by his side every day. Even though his grades had improved, he didn't look down on her or try to push her away. Yotsuba was content with that.
We can go to school together and graduate together. After graduating from elementary school, I can suggest to my mom that we buy a cell phone so I can call Hayakawa. That way, even after graduation, I can still be friends with Hayakawa.
Yotsuba harbors such a small, beautiful wish in her heart, so even the tedious and unpleasant study time is still something to cherish.
But then one day... Hayakawa transferred schools.
"It's washed."
Erna took the tap off and said.
Yotsuba silently released her grip, carefully placing Hayakawa's head on the edge of the bathtub. Then she stood up, accidentally bumping into the bathroom door, which creaked and wobbled. The hot air from the living room air conditioner rushed towards her from behind, colliding with the stuffy humidity in the bathroom, making Yotsuba feel dizzy, as if the alcohol in Hayakawa's blood had seeped into her veins, even giving her a sense of disorientation, as if her soul had left her body.
"Alright, Yotsuba."
Nino's voice came through, that ethereal voice that seemed to come from another world: "I'll take care of the rest. You go and rest."
"Ok."
Yotsuba Nakano nodded, then her body moved uncontrollably toward the door, turned around and closed it, returning to the living room.
She decided not to think about what would happen in the bathroom next. After all, even if she knew what happened, it wouldn't do her any good. If she didn't think about it, she wouldn't feel troubled or bitter.
……
Only Nino and Hayakawa remained in the bathroom, making it somewhat quiet.
"Honestly, I'm a little tired."
Nino was still sitting in her chair, stretching wearily, but there was no dissatisfaction with Hayakawa in her expression. After all, even if she disregarded her feelings for Hayakawa, he had saved her when she was lost in the woods during the off-campus training camp, making him her benefactor. Based on this alone, Nino couldn't just sit idly by and watch Hayakawa run into trouble.
What's more, he's good-looking.
"Ah."
Nino turned Hayakawa's face over and looked at it carefully. After a long while, she nodded expressionlessly: "She's totally my type."
Hmm~ What should I do if he suddenly confesses his feelings to me? Should I just say yes or be a little reserved?
Nino blushed slightly as she fantasized about wonderful things, then took out her phone to check the time and said, "I'll soak for another ten minutes, then I can come out."
After saying that, she opened the chat software to see what messages were in the class group and to kill some time.
However, the next moment, she heard Hayakawa's whispered words.
"Four-leaf clover..."
Chapter 150 Sleeping Together and Cold
"Four-leaf clover..."
The boy's murmurs echoed in the quiet bathroom, along with the sounds of water dripping on the floor and the girl's breathing.
Nino Nakano looked down at Hayakawa with a strange expression.
It was just a dream, especially since it was the dream of a drunk person... I couldn't have missed it, and he might have said something else entirely.
But why…
Why do I feel uneasy?
Nino's brows furrowed slightly as the scene from the bathroom flashed uncontrollably into her mind. Yotsuba reached out to the faucet spewing hot water, carefully feeling the temperature of the water with a serious and focused expression.
Could it be that Hayakawa is interested in Yotsuba...?
No, no, no... Impossible! He said before that he had no intention of dating.
Nino quickly shook her head frantically, banishing this unrealistic idea from her mind and thinking firmly.
Besides, even if Hayakawa has feelings for Yotsuba, it's not a big deal. It's not like Yotsuba likes Hayakawa; she can just steal him away.
After all, she and Yotsuba are equals, with the same looks and figure, but she is much more fashionable and avant-garde than Yotsuba, and knows better how to dress herself. In terms of charm, she definitely has more.
I'm very sorry, but even if they try to take it from me, I will.
Nino felt at ease; when it came to her own happiness, she wouldn't budge an inch.
Thinking of this, Nino took out her phone to look at the messages in class and quietly passed the time.
……
Not long after, Hayakawa, dressed neatly, was helped out of the bathroom by Nino.
"It's so heavy."
Nakano Nino, slightly out of breath, looked at the person sitting on the living room sofa.
Ichika and Yotsuba said, "Come over here and lend a hand."
"I'll come over now."
Yotsuba's ears perked up immediately as she waited for a long time. She quickly ran over from Ichika's side, helping Hayakawa up while exclaiming in surprise, "Ah... you've already dried yourself off and put on clothes."
"Er Nai..."
She couldn't help but look at Nino beside her with a strange gaze, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw the faint blush on Nino's face.
Stop! Cut! Stop daydreaming!
A sweet smile appeared on Nakano Yotsuba's face. Her small brain didn't need to think about complicated things; she only needed to think about how to take care of the people around her.
Just wait, wait quietly... and a beautiful and happy outcome will surely follow.
"..."
Nino turned her head away expressionlessly, seemingly avoiding Yotsuba's smile, and said to Ichika, who was sitting leisurely on the sofa watching the show, with a hint of annoyance, "Ichika, are you just going to watch like that? You're being a bit too relaxed."
"Uh…"
Ichika hesitated for a moment, then said with a mischievous smile, "As the eldest sister, I need to take charge of the overall situation."
Nino rolled her eyes upon hearing this: "I think you're just lying there."
"..."
Ichika didn't speak, but in her heart she was thinking that she was the only one among the sisters who knew about Yotsuba's relationship. She was already exhausted just worrying about whether the relationship between the two of them would break down. She didn't have any mind to think about anything else.
"never mind,"
Nino glanced at the stairs and said, "Let's take him to Miku's room together."
"Oh fine."
Ichika nodded: "It's just that I'm troubling Miku."
"There's nothing we can do, except for Miku, all our rooms are too unique,"
Nino said helplessly, "Let's not talk about your room. I don't really want him to see my room full of celebrity posters. He might mistakenly think I'm a crazy fan. May's room is fine too, it's full of snacks. Yotsuba's room seems okay, but Yotsuba is already very tired from carrying Hayakawa back today, so it's really not good to trouble her. So I can only let Miku suffer a little."
Hayakawa can sleep in my room, I'd be happy to!
Upon hearing this, Yotsuba's tiny self screamed loudly in the empty chamber of her heart, but on the surface, she said nothing.
"Ichika, Miku is sleeping with you tonight... uh, never mind, your room is too messy,"
Nino said something, then overturned the proposal, saying, "Let her spend the night in May's room instead."
"Wait a minute, that's going too far."
Ichika protested softly, but had nothing to say in her rebuttal, so she could only obediently drag Hayakawa upstairs with Nino and take him to Miku's room.
Just then, Miku, wearing her pajamas and carrying a pillow and blanket, came out of the room. She was startled to see Ichika and the others "moving the corpse" and quickly moved aside so that they could put Hayakawa on her bed.
"Still not awake?"
Looking at Hayakawa sleeping soundly on her bed, Miku felt a strange sense of embarrassment and asked curiously, "How much did he drink?"
"have no idea,"
Ichika said confidently, "But she must have drunk a lot."
"Isn't this nice?"
Upon hearing this, Nino covered her burning face and began to swoon: "What's wrong with having a little alcohol? It's so unique! In fact, being able to drink is a good thing."
"..."
Miku remained silent. In her eyes, high school students who drank alcohol were undoubtedly delinquents, and she was extremely afraid of delinquent boys.
Back then, I thought he was a good person because he helped me, but now I realize I was wrong.
Miku secretly observed Hayakawa, who was sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed, and made up her mind to stay away from him from now on.
After the girls exchanged a few more words, they all felt that it was getting late.
"gone."
Goodnight, Miku.
"Ah."
The five sisters were exhausted after experiencing a lot tonight. They yawned a few times and said goodnight to each other before going back to their rooms.
Yotsuba was the last to leave the room, closing the door quietly. Through the last crack in the closed door, she glanced at Hayakawa.
Sleep well, Hayakawa.
good night.
……
In the stillness of the night, Miku, lying in bed, groggily opened her eyes and sat up.
"What's wrong, Miku..."
May, who was fast asleep next to him, suddenly stirred and asked a question as if talking in her sleep.
"bathroom…"
Miku gave a vague reply, then sleepwalked out of the room, went downstairs to the bathroom, and when she returned upstairs and passed by her own room, she pushed the door open without thinking and went into her room.
The familiar scent in the room made Miku even more relaxed. She squinted and lay down on the bed. The whole process was like sleepwalking, and she was completely unaware that Hayakawa was lying on her bed.
"Um…"
Miku lay there for a while, then frowned slightly, as if she sensed something was wrong. She subconsciously touched her body and felt as if something was missing.
Without thinking, she reached out and snatched the blanket from Hayakawa next to her, covering herself with it before revealing a relieved expression that seemed perfectly natural.
Hayakawa next to him: "..."
This is destined to be a restless night.
Chapter 151 The Bedchamber Maid
冷…
Bone-chilling cold.
Hayakawa felt as if he were in the crevice of an ancient glacier, his body and soul tormented by endless cold, unable to escape for eternity.
