The author of the depressing comic book series makes the heroine cry.

a long time,

Kato slowly backed away from Xia Qiu's embrace, his hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of his clothes, his face completely red.

She raised her head slightly, her gaze running straight into Xia Qiu's eyes, her eyes full of affection and determination.

The dim light from the bathroom poured down, casting a layer of warm light around her body, making her shyness and anticipation even more obvious.

"Xia Qiu, I have something to tell you."

Kato's voice trembled slightly, but it was full of determination. She took a deep breath, as if to gather up the courage she had accumulated for a long time. "I like you, not on impulse, but after countless times of getting along and countless heartbeats."

Her beautiful eyes were sparkling with tears. "From how you patiently helped me time and time again and how you accompanied me just right, I couldn't take my eyes off you anymore. I know this may be a little sudden, but I have kept this feeling in my heart for too long, and I can't hold it back any longer."

This is truly a brilliant confession.

"Kato..."

Xia Qiu was also moved by Kato, who was so serious, cute and brave, and her voice was a little hoarse.

He couldn't help but raise his hand, put it on Kato's smooth and delicate face without any hair, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Kato's eyes.

"I never thought that you would have such feelings for me. But after listening to what you said just now, I was shocked to realize that my care for you has already exceeded my imagination."

"I am very happy to have your likes, and at the same time, I want to say."

"Kato...I like you too."

Xia Qiu's eyes were gentle and focused, locking onto Kato's eyes.

Since you're a scumbag, then just be a scumbag to the end!

Hearing Xia Qiu's words, Kato smiled happily and even had a runny nose, but she didn't bother to wipe it and buried her head directly in Xia Qiu's arms.

Xia Qiu's mouth corners slightly raised as she looked at the cute Kato and gently hugged Kato tightly in her arms.

Silence is warmer than words.

However, at an inconspicuous corner, another fully armed man was petrified at this moment.

In Isshiki Caiyu's big eyes, at this moment, there was a reflection of a couple hugging each other, with their hands tightly covering their mouths, their eyes wide open and their faces flushed.

"How could... How could they be together..."

Isshi Caiyu murmured to herself, her original anticipation for this "eavesdropping drama" turned into a heart full of mixed emotions.

Logically speaking, she should be very happy to eat the melon, but when she saw Xia Qiu and the unexpectedly close Kato, she felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

At this time, Xia Qiu gently patted Kato's back and whispered softly in her ear: "Kato, you go back first, and we will have a good chat after today, okay?"

Kato raised his head, his eyes still sparkling, and his smile contained understanding and a hint of grievance.

She gently untied her hands from Xia Qiu's clothes. Although she was reluctant to let go, her tone was full of understanding: "Xia Qiu-kun, I understand. Today is very important for you and Ying Lili, and I shouldn't disturb you."

She raised her head slightly and looked at Xia Qiu intently, as if she wanted to remember his appearance at this moment.

"But I'm really happy today to hear that you like me too. Don't worry, I will wait for you until you have dealt with everything."

Kato looked at Xia Qiu with affection in his eyes, then slowly turned around and left, looking back every few steps.

After Kato's figure completely disappeared, Xia Qiu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

There is still Kato's unique scent on his body. If Eriri and Kyon smell it, they will definitely explode on the spot.

Xia Qiu walked to the sink, turned on the faucet, and splashed cold water on his face, quickly washing away the guilty smell on his body and also trying to calm his heated head.

After washing his face, he dried it with a tissue, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the cashier.

Xia Qiu came to the cashier counter, and the waitress came up to him with a professional smile and asked politely, "Sir, how can I help you?"

Xia Qiu nodded and asked, "Hello, I'm here to settle the bill. We have two tables, one for seven people, in that private room; the other for two people, next door. The fee is settled per person, right?"

The waiter quickly checked on the computer, nodded and said, "Yes sir, would you like to pay separately or together?"

Xia Qiu said without hesitation: "Let's pay together."

As he spoke, he took out his wallet, took out his credit card and handed it to the waiter to swipe the card. After swiping the card, he turned and walked towards the private room.

Pushing open the door of the private room, Xia Qiu had a gentle smile on his face, "Everyone, I'm back."

Hearing the voice, Eriri and Kyon looked over immediately.

Ying Lili looked at Xia Qiu suspiciously, sniffed slightly, but didn't find the smell of other women, "Why did you take so long? Everyone is waiting for you to eat!"

Qiong-mei also blinked her big eyes, with a look of concern: "Onii-chan, are you feeling unwell?"

Xia Qiu smiled apologetically and replied, "It's nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Then he sat between Eriri and Kaede, opposite whom were Kiyotaki Kosuke, Kiyotaki Katsuraka, and Sora Ginko.

Hearing Xia Qiu's words, the three of them also cast concerned glances over.

Kong Yinzi said softly: "If you feel uncomfortable, eat something light later, don't force yourself."

Qingtaki Keika also gently echoed: "Yes, if you still feel uncomfortable, we will go with you after dinner."

Xia Qiu felt warm in his heart and nodded repeatedly to express his gratitude.

At this time, the waiters began to serve the dishes one after another.

With a chorus of "It's time to eat," everyone started eating.

Xia Qiu also glanced at Qiongmei and Yinglili secretly, and saw that they looked normal and seemed to have not noticed anything, and he immediately felt relieved.

However, compared to Xia Qiu's easy response, it was not so easy for Kato in the private room next door to escape from the curious baby-like Isshiki Caiyu.

At this time, Isshiki Caiyu stood in front of Kato with her hands on her hips, angrily, "Kato, you are so mean! What happened just now? When did you and Xia Qiu become like that? Tell the truth!"

When Kato heard this, his beautiful eyes widened in surprise. Could it be that Isshiki saw everything just now?

For a moment, Kato's face, which had finally returned to normal color, turned red again, and smoke was coming out of his head.

What a steam girl!

Kato lowered his head in embarrassment, his hands nervously tugging at the corners of his clothes, and stammered, "Nothing... nothing, just... just a normal chat."

"Ordinary chat? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Isshi Caiyu's pretty face came close to Kato, eyes wide open, "I saw how intimate you two were! Tell me, do you like Xia Qiu?"

Kato's face turned even redder. She bit her lower lip and hesitated for a long time before she whispered, "Ichi Caiyu, don't ask me. There are some things... I don't want to talk about it now."

"Humph, you just keep secrets from me!" Isshi Caiyu stamped her feet in anger, "I thought you were my best sister, but you have a secret that you won't tell me!"

Kato looked at Isshiki Caiyu with some guilt, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Isshiki Caiyu, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just... it's just that I haven't figured it out yet. When I think it through, I will be the first to tell you, okay?"

Isshi Iroha looked at Kato's sincere eyes and sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll trust you again. But don't forget to share everything with me!"
