Qingto's eyes started from the tatami, rising inch by inch.

Feet covered with clean white socks.

Light green belt.

The purple and white kimono was neatly arranged without any wrinkles.

Finally, Qingto's eyes were fixed on Okita Hikaru's face that was slightly red from drinking.

No matter how many times I watch it, the two sisters, Okita Hikaru and Okita Souji, look so much alike.

From the forehead to the eyes, from the tips of the ears to the chin, regardless of the face shape or the shape of the facial features, the similarity is as high as 90%.

If it weren't for the height difference, Okita Hikaru would be nearly a head taller than Souji, otherwise an uninformed person would definitely think that the two sisters are twins.

On a normal day, Qingto would be very interested in discussing in depth the similarities and differences in appearance between the Okita sisters.

But obviously - now is not the time.

call……

At this time, a gust of cold wind with a sharp chill passed through the crack of the window that was not closed tightly beside Qingdeng, leaked into the hall, and hit Qingdeng's body squarely.

The sudden cold wind blew the sweat on Qingden's forehead to the point where it was almost frosty, and the pores under his clothes swelled, forming dense goosebumps.

It was only at this moment that Qingdeng realized that he was sweating a lot—all cold sweat—both because of the cold on the outside of his body and because of the cold on the inside.

Qingden felt his heart beating so fast.

The siren song of "something bad" sounded deep in my heart.

He looked into Hikaru Okita's eyes tremblingly.

"..."

Okita Hikaru, who was standing at the door, gave Aoto a calm look. He looked at Aoto who was hugging Souji in silence, with an unpredictable expression.

The cold wind that blew into the hall just now took away the heat from Qingdeng's body and also blew away the chaotic thoughts in Qingdeng's mind.

"Stupidity" was dispelled.

Qingdeng absorbed his thoughts that had flown away from the banquet hall.

Reason regains the initiative of body and consciousness at lightning speed.

As if he had been scalded by boiling water, Aomori quickly released his hands from Souji's thin and beautiful back, and then told the reality to Okita Hikaru deliberately and calmly:

"……This is a misunderstanding."

If Nagakura, Saito, Harada and others appeared here, Qingto would not be worried at all.

After all, Nagakura and the others don't know Souji's true gender. In their worldview, Souji's image has always been that of a "cute boy with a very lovable appearance."

The characters and thoughts of these gentlemen are more straight than the others. Even if they see Qingteng and the Chief Si hugging each other, they most likely will not doubt that Qingteng is a good person.

However... the person who appeared outside the door at this moment was Hikaru Okita...

This is the person Qingden is most afraid of seeing now...

Unlike Nagakura and others, Okita Hikaru knew that Souji's true gender was revealed by Aoto.

Imagine this: a young man who is sane and in his prime of life, falls on the tatami and hugs his beloved sister who is drunk and unconscious...

For a moment, Qingden had the illusion that he was in the depths of a battlefield where bullets were flying everywhere.

The sense of existential crisis was so strong that he couldn't ignore it, firmly surrounding his whole body.

I wonder if it’s because Okita Hikaru’s sister’s aura is too strong, so Qingdeng is in front of Okita Hikaru... To put it nicely, he has always been on the weaker side. To put it bluntly, he has an inexplicable feeling towards Okita Hikaru.

Fear...

Whenever Okita kept his face straight, Qingden's body would tremble uncontrollably.

However... fear is useless.

There is no point in feeling panic and panic about what has happened and past history.

We can only accept the current situation as it is and then try to find a solution...or a "way to survive"...

Qingden took a deep breath.

The extraordinary lung capacity endowed by the gifted "iron lung" enables Qingdeng's lungs to hold far more air than an ordinary person.

Full of breath.

Prepare your emotions and think of your words.

Then--

"Okita-kun is like this. She just wanted to drink again. After I confiscated her bottle, she rushed over and tried to snatch the bottle back. During the fight, she accidentally fell and bumped into me. I couldn't react in time and followed her.

They fell to the ground together."

Qingdeng told the truth of the incident in a concise and concise manner without any pause.

The gift of "smart tongue" makes great achievements.

Qingdeng's flexible and powerful tongue makes Qingdeng's speech very clear. Even if he speaks without any pause, he can be heard very clearly.

If you have to explain it yourself, you will inevitably be suspected of being a false witness.

So Qingteng raised his hands, pressed Souji's narrow but round shoulders, shook Souji's body vigorously like shaking milk powder, and called to Souji urgently:

"Okita-kun, wake up! Wake up!"

"Uh-huh……"

The director-general muttered like he was dreaming.

When you look at it, you feel like your elastic and moist red lips are moving gently... as if you are chewing something.

After a moment, she opened her eyes a little, looked at Qingdeng with a silly look, then closed them again and said:

"Jijun...you just made me hurt..."

"Hello!"

——You are the one who caused me so much pain!

My back, which had just come into close contact with the tatami, and my leg, which had been bitten by Souji a little earlier, were still aching slightly.

This kind of remarks can trigger people's endless reverie and can make the current situation tense instantly. No matter how you think about it, it is not good.

Just as Qingdeng was sweating and thinking about how to remedy the situation——

"...So that's what it is."

Okita Hikaru nodded slightly, then moved his steps lightly, walked to Qingden's side and squatted down.

"Tachibana-kun, I'm sorry for causing you any trouble."

"Uh... ah, no, it's okay, no need to apologize. It's just a trivial matter, it can't be called 'causing trouble'."

Qingto looked at Hikaru Okita dumbfounded.

Judging from Okita's expression and the words she just said, she completely understood and accepted Qingto's explanation.

Although Okita Hikaru was willing to accept his explanation so quickly, which made Qingto breathe a sigh of relief, this kind of trust that he didn't even ask a question in return still made Qingto feel at a loss.

Okita Hikaru seemed to see through Qingto's thoughts.

She said calmly:

"Tachibana-kun, I know what you are like. I believe you will not do anything rude to the chief...to Xiaosi."

Short explanation.

The explanation that made the big stone hanging on Qing Deng's heart fall to the ground.

The lines on Qingdeng's face were completely relaxed and no longer tense.

He was pleased with Hikaru Okita's understanding and understanding. Aoto, who was relieved to be rid of the suspicion of molesting Souji, let out a sigh of relief and turned his happy emotions into his voice.

——That's right... Thinking about it carefully, I was completely nervous just now. Miss Guang is a well-educated and intellectual beauty. As long as you explain to her sincerely, she will definitely listen and will never make any mistakes.

Doubt my words.

The deepest impression that Hikaru Okita left on Qingto was that he was so considerate in dealing with people and had such a high emotional intelligence that he did not look like a young girl who is only 27 years old this year.

27 years old... In modern times, this age is just the age when you first enter the workplace.

It is indeed unlikely that a person like Okita Hikaru would do anything irrational.

Qingto was immersed in the joy of "surviving the crisis"... Therefore, he completely failed to notice that Okita Hikari quietly raised his gaze at this time.

While looking at Souji who was sleeping beside her with elusive eyes, she murmured in a voice as soft as a mosquito's moan:

"...Actually...if you hugged Xiao Si secretly with your own will...I would actually be happier..."

After she finished speaking, a touch of regret floated between her eyebrows.

"Hmm? Miss Guang, did you say something just now?"

Qingto not only didn't notice Okita Hikaru's small movements, but also didn't hear Okita Hikaru's mumbling.
To be continued...
