Sister Hui Ye Wants Me to Be Reliable

"You're scared, aren't you? You're scared, aren't you?"

"...Hmm." After a moment of silence, Hayasaka responded in a low voice.

"To be honest, if it was Shi Zhu who had the accident at that time, I might have gone crazy." Ying Lili felt that her voice was so calm that she was surprised, "I thought you were the same as me, but I was wrong. I was even more afraid, even more terrified. Even if I saw that Shi Zhu was safe and sound, and realized that it was just a false alarm, I couldn't get rid of my fear."

"Ah."

Obviously it was hit, and Ai Hayasaka couldn't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, denying this fact.

"Can you tell me, what are you afraid of?" Eriri stared into Hayasaka's eyes, trying to capture the momentary fluctuation of expression.

"Even if I tell you, so what?" Hayasaka did not use honorifics, but simply answered.

Ying Lili was choked up for a while, and she held back for a long time before she opened her mouth: "You said before that I don't have eyes for people, including dianthus... In fact, you are saying that I don't understand dianthus at all, right?"

"I just expressed my subjective opinion. How to interpret it is Miss Spencer's freedom." Hayasaka returned to her usual tone.

"Speaking like this again..." Ying Lili shrank back in the water, "Do you just hate talking to me so much?"

"As I said, I don't have any personal feelings for Miss Spencer." Ai Hayasaka said, "If I have to make it clear, it's actually very simple-you shouldn't ask me about these things."

Ying Lili held her head, "I don't understand what you're talking about anymore? You're obviously scared. When I asked the reason, you didn't say you didn't want to talk, but you thought I asked the wrong person..."

"This is the reality." Hayasaka's voice was quiet, but inexplicably sad, "I don't want to talk about Dianthus with anyone rashly."

"...Because Shizhu doesn't want to, right..." Ying Lili lowered her head, under the shadow of her forehead hair, separated by water vapor, her expression became less clear.

Silence spread again, and Hayasaka seemed to have no intention of saying anything.

Estimating the time, Hayasaka felt that he had almost soaked in the bath, and if he continued to soak here, he might feel dizzy.

It's rare for my mother to stay until tomorrow morning before returning to Kyoto. She doesn't want to trip herself up because of a problem with the bath.

And...she didn't want to continue talking about anything related to the previous situation.

Even at this moment, the sense of fear remains in my heart, and I still can't get rid of it-even if a certain part of my heart is clear, for the current Shizhu, it is tantamount to unfounded worry.

But maybe... Shi Zhu can already tolerate being probed into these things by Ying Lili, right?

Except for Kaguya and Hayasaka, the cheeks that don't want to be touched by anyone, the forehead that doesn't want to be touched by anyone.

Obviously, he would subconsciously avoid contact, but for the first time, he did not avoid people other than his family.

Even Shi Zhu himself was shocked...

Hayasaka couldn't help pursing her lips, stood up, and was about to leave the bath.

"Ah, really!"

Ying Lili, who had never imagined that she was obviously depressed and depressed, suddenly yelled, without the consciousness of a lady.

"...Miss Spencer?" Hayasaka couldn't figure out what she was going to do.

Ying Lili, who was standing in the bath, was panting heavily.

"I can't figure it out anyway!" Ying Lili raised her face, "Don't think about it!"

Hayasaka was slightly stunned, then continued to walk out of the bath, noncommittal to Eirari's attitude, "Really."

"What was your reaction?!" Ying Lili puffed her face.

"It's nothing, I just don't know how to express it." Hayasaka turned her head, "If Miss Spencer is also finished soaking, please get out of the bath and change clothes as soon as possible. If Dianthus is also in the bath, she has returned to the room about 5 minutes ago go."

Yingli pear came out of the bathing pool, chased to the edge of Hayasaka, stared at her and asked, "I really doubt it, you don't really serve Dianthus to take a bath, do you?"

"Living together in the villa for many years, this level of understanding is not surprising at all." Hayasaka raised the corners of his lips, and a smile appeared on his face.

"...You..." Ying Lili didn't know what to say.

"I came back a bit late, and the time can't stand the delay." Hayasaka untied the bath towel in the dressing room, took out the clothes in the basket, and boarded the boat. "How long does Miss Spencer want Mrs. Sawamura to wait?"

"You don't need to remind—!" Ying Lili gritted her teeth and retorted.

Ten minutes later, Eriri and Hayasaka, who came down from upstairs, joined the waiting Shizhu in the lobby.

"Let's go, is there still time?" Ying Lili asked.

"Fortunately..." Shi Zhu shrugged, "Generally speaking, girls spend more time taking a bath than boys."

He touched his forehead and turned his face away, "Is there nothing uncomfortable? After all, it was raining just now."

"I'm fine, don't worry." Hayasaka took over the conversation naturally.

Ying Lili, who was robbed of the conversation, leaned in front of Shizhu, "I'm fine, let's go quickly."

"...Have you changed your shampoo?" He couldn't help but took a step back and asked.

"Uh, no." Eiriri smiled awkwardly, "I accidentally walked the wrong way. I took a bath with Hayasaka-san."

"Hmm..." Shi Zhu glanced at the two of them, "Let's go, my sister, Aunt Sayuri, and Mother Nao are still waiting."

Ying Lili felt that Shizhu's reaction was very strange, it didn't seem like rejection, but rather——

"Shy?" Ying Lili asked deliberately.

"No."

Shi Zhu hurried out of the gate first.
