Soya was a little helpless, "Miss Kirino..."

Kirino Keiko smiled. The scene in front of her was enough to make her happy, so she did not continue to embarrass him, "What are you two doing here?"

"Come to give mom's mobile phone." Akane Kirino said.

"Ah, it turned out to be over there. I was about to go over and get it."

The three of them were all wearing raincoats, and their mobile phones were still in Soya's pocket, making it inconvenient to hand them over. Kirino Keiko turned around and walked back.

"Let's talk about it later."

Arriving at Kirino's house, Soya pulled up his raincoat, took out his cell phone and handed it to Kirino Keiko.

"Why are there two missed calls... Akane?"

"Ah, haha... we're going back." Akane Kirino put on her hat and turned around to leave. Before she could go out, she came over and pulled Sogu, "Let's go now."

"Wait a moment."

Kirino Keiko stopped Soya and put the flashlight into his hand.

"Leave it to Zonggu. I hope you will not disappoint my expectations."

"...If Kirino-san is talking about the flashlight."

"Oh, don't you understand this very well?"

"We're going back first."

Kirino Keiko stood at the door, watching the two children return the same way and gradually walked away.

After taking a few steps, the flashlight was transferred to Akane Kirino's hand, and the beam of light pointed toward the sky.

"Follow the road."

"Got it."

With a flashlight illuminating the road, the two quickly returned to Kirino's old house. Anko and Asagiri Suzu had completely cleaned the melted wax on the table. One was looking at his cell phone, and the other was playing around with Kirino Akane's treasure collection.

"So fast."

"I'll be back as soon as I send my phone back." Zongya said.

"What should we do next?" The desk lamp was bright enough. Akane Kirino turned off the flashlight and put it in her treasure box. She quickly picked it up again, thinking it would be better to carry it with her.

"Everyone wash up and then go to bed."

"Hey, before Souya went out, he said he didn't plan to sleep now."

"I changed my mind."

"But I'm not sleepy yet."

"Then give me the flashlight." Zonggu stretched out his hand.

"Why?" Kirino Akane asked, but the flashlight was directly given to him.

Zonggu turned on the light and left the living room, "Wash up."

Chaogiri Suzu also stood up and followed without hesitation.

Kirino Akane and Anko looked at each other. The power outage restricted most entertainment. There was nothing else to do, so they could only choose to go back to their rooms to rest.

"How much battery does Hongzi's cell phone still have?"

"About sixty percent."

"Hey, I only have 20%."

When they came to the bathroom, Soya and Asagiri Suzu had just finished washing and came out with flashlights.

When they passed by each other, Zong Gu glanced at them each and said, "Good night."

Kirino Akane held the desk lamp and asked, "It's so early, can Soya really sleep?"

"I can always fall asleep when I lie down. At least Ling is already sleepy. She hasn't slept well in the past few days."

"Okay...good night."

Watching the two of them go upstairs, Akane Kirino found a place to put a lamp and took a shower with Anko.

"You can apply some of this on your face after washing your face." She pointed to a small bottle in front of the mirror, "But mom said it's too early for me to use this."

"Because Qian's skin is very good and doesn't need maintenance yet... Look, it's tender and smooth." Hongzi stretched out his hand and pinched her face for a while. It felt soft and she couldn't put it down.

Kirino Akane sighed, held her face with one hand, and looked at herself in the mirror, "No matter how beautiful a woman is, sooner or later some of her will turn old."

"...Stop watching those boring evening dramas."

"Hahaha."

Playing and joking, the two of them stayed in front of the sink for a long time.

One moment, they were observing each other's skin, worrying about some trivial blemish; the next moment, they were studying some skin care products together, applying them bit by bit on each other's faces and the tip of their noses.

Until a certain moment, the desk lamp placed aside suddenly became a little darker.

"Hey, is the battery going to run out..."

"It's been open all night."

As if darkness would fall at any time, both of them panicked, put down the bottles and jars in their hands, and hurried back to the room upstairs.

Lying on the quilt, the lamp was dim but not completely extinguished. The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"..."

Listening to the faint laughter in the next room, Zonggu turned over in the darkness.

"Does it take so long to wash your face?"

In the dark room, there was only a little light coming from the window. He lay there for a while, preparing for sleep that was too early, when he suddenly heard something other than the sound of rain.

The footsteps stopped at the door, and then Akane Kirino's voice sounded: "Soya, are you asleep?"

The only right choice was to keep silent, and that's what he did.

This is not the first time she has been harassed in the middle of the night. Usually, if she doesn't get a response, she will basically stop there.

"——He was pretending to sleep. I saw the light of the mobile phone just now."

"..."

But today, some people are talking nonsense and fabricating things out of thin air.

"Soya——"

Akane Kirino opened the door and walked in, followed by Anko.

"I'm almost asleep. What's the matter?"

"The lamp is about to run out of power."

Zonggu opened her eyes and looked at the dim desk lamp in her hand, "The last time I charged it was before I went to Kyushu. I used it for so long today. It's normal to have no power... Pillow?"

Only then did he notice that she and Hongzi, who came in later, were holding pillows in their arms.

"What are you going to do?"

"I can't sleep." Akane Kirino opened the closet, took out another quilt, and spread it on the floor, "Come here and chat for a while."

"I'm already sleepy."

Hongzi dragged the quilt towards him, lay down, and covered him with a thin quilt, "Then you go to sleep first."

"I dare not sleep with a nympho."

"..."

Hongzi stretched out her foot and kicked his leg through the quilt, then didn't take it back.

Putting the desk lamp over the gap between the two quilts, Kirino Akane also got into the quilt and lay down on the other side.

Zonggu looked at the dim light and asked, "Whose idea was this?"

"Mine." Akane Kirino said.

Zong Gu didn't completely believe it. His intuition told him that there should be a lot of Hongzi's "contribution".

After all, she was easy to incite, and even though she was persuaded and pushed by Hongzi, she still thought it was her idea.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Whatever, like my plans for next month." Kirino Akane turned over and held up her phone to show him the time, "Look, there are still more than two hours until next month."

Souya then remembered that today is the last day of July.

"Are you planning...what are your plans?"

"Turn around first." Hongzi was lying on his side, taking off his glasses and placing them in the middle, so he narrowed his eyes slightly when looking at him.

Zonggu turned his head, looked at the two girls under the yellow light, and turned around.

Hongzi smiled, and most of her thoughts were spent on restraining her impulsive thought of getting closer to him, so that it took a while before she remembered what to say: "I'm going to stay at my grandma's house for a few days, and then I'll be with my family again."
