Although it is an old house, the bathroom of Yuanqiao's house is not small. The interior has been renovated several times. It is bright and spacious, and it has everything.

As the most important configuration, the bathtub is also relatively large, enough to accommodate two or three normal-sized people.

Sitting in the bathtub, Hongzi leaned against the side and looked at a corner of the sky outside the window in a daze. She returned to her senses after a long time.

The sun is bright and I haven't walked halfway through the afternoon, so it's not time to take a bath.

Chao Wuling, who was sitting opposite, was also distracted.

"Ling, do you have to soak it for a while?"

She came to her senses and said, "Can't do it."

Hongzi stood up and sat on the edge of the bathtub, suddenly stopped moving again, and looked at her tentatively: "What Ling said before..."

He raised his eyes to Wuling and looked back at her: "Do you want to know now?"

Hongzi nodded and sat down again, "I want to hear it."

She wants to hear it.

Just listen.

Hongzi accidentally revealed that she did not believe in this matter very much, and she was helpless. She might as well listen to it and Chao Wuling didn't care about it.

"You like him."

“Ah… well.”

Apart from her mother, this is the first time Hongzi admitted this relationship honestly in front of others. After a brief shyness, a passion that surged in her heart made her no longer avoid it, and she looked directly at the naked girl in front of her.

The words in their mouth also become firm and coherent.

"I like him. Yes, I like Zonggu. If Ling wants to say the way to get Zonggu, please tell me, please."

"I will help you." Kazuki looked at her, "provided that what are you willing to pay for this?"

Hongzi opened her mouth and then spit out two words: "Everything."

Chao Wuling shook his head, "It's not that I don't believe you, but that I have heard too many similar things. All those who say they are willing to give up everything for someone or something are actually not willing to give up anything in their hearts, so

Use Hanhu's "everything" to cover up all the things you don't want to give up. When you really need to give up, pick out something irrelevant from "everything" and give it up, or simply turn around and run away."

“…”

Hongzi's face turned slightly red, and she could not refute for a moment, and even began to feel that she was really thinking like this just now.

What is she willing to give to Zong Gu?

After a while, Hongzi broke free from the deepest self-question and said again: "I am willing to give everything for Zong Gu."

Chao Wuling asked again, "Does he also include it?"

“…”

Hongzi was stunned for a few seconds, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"What does it mean... the price of my gain of Zonggu is to lose Zonggu?"

Nodded at Wuling.

Hongzi became more and more confused, "I don't understand..."

"I will explain." Asahiro looked at her, "The second question is..."

"Wait a minute." Hongzi interrupted her.

She was so calm that there was no fluctuation, "You said."

Hongzi stared into her eyes: "Why did Ling help me?"

Chao Wuling was rarely silent for a while.

"Because I like him, too."

“Eh?”

Asakiri also likes Sonya. Hongzi didn't know whether she should have been surprised or be confused by her reasons for her actions.

She continued: "I don't want him to continue to restrain himself, because he is suffering because of the choice that cannot be made. Life is short and there is no chance to start over. Such constraints will only leave eternal regrets."

Chao Wuling looked at the sky outside the window, "I don't want him to leave regrets."

Hongzi could vaguely guess that he was one of the "decisions that could not be made", but he still had many doubts, so he did not think about the true meaning of the so-called "short life" and "regret".

"But Suzuki also likes Soya. If you help me, wouldn't it be..."

"You don't need to worry about this. In the end, he..." Paused to Wuling for a few seconds, changing to a statement that would not make Hongzi feel too uneasy, "He will compensate me."

Just as she is trying to compensate him now, she thought to herself.

Hongzi fell silent, and at the same time remembered the differences between Zong Gu and Asakiri before returning.

"This matter...Songya doesn't know about it yet?"

"...I don't know." Zong Gu said, leaning forward and letting his feet behind him slide down, "How could I know there are other interesting places nearby? You should ask Hong

It's right."

Akane Kirino lay on the floor, stepping on his back with her feet, like walking, until the limit.

"Hongzi is still taking a bath... she hasn't come out yet. How can she take a bath at this time? It's not until three o'clock yet." She was surprised that Hongzi and Chaowuling hadn't come out of the bathroom for a long time, but also

Without thinking about it carefully, Zong Gu, who guessed the reason, was soon interrupted.

"Hello."

Akane Kirino supported her body with her arms, moved a little to him, and directly put the bipod on his shoulders.

"'Help, I have feet on my shoulders'..." she said in a low voice, giggling again, shaking her feet back and forth.

Shaking her shoulders, but it didn't work. Zong Gu grabbed her left and right ankles, separated them to both sides, and put them down.

His feet hit his legs, "Let me let me put it for a while, I'm so stingy."

"It's not at your own home, you should pay attention."

She put her feet on again, "Hongzi's grandmother is not at home now."

“Someone will pass by outside.”

"This is a yard, and no one will come here directly. Even if there are people, Zong Gu can see it first..."

“——Someone is coming.”

Akane Kirino was stunned, then clamped her feet in the middle, "You lied to me."

"Oh."

The middle-aged woman outside walked to the side of the wild side, looked at Zong Gu with her long legs on her neck, and then looked at the girl behind him whose face turned red quickly.

"Are you children of Yuanqiao's family? What about faces you have never seen before?"

"No……"

After coming back to his senses, Akane Kirino immediately put down her feet, sat up again, buried her head and shrank behind Sougu.

"I'm here to find Ms. Qianhua, is she at home?"

"Grandma is chatting at the neighbor's house next door. I'll call her, come in and sit for a while." Zong Gu planned to get up, but the other party smiled and refused.

"No, I'll go there myself." said the middle-aged woman, and smiled at the girl whose head was only exposed behind him, "I'm disturbing."

She turned and left, quickly disappeared outside the courtyard wall, and Soya looked back at Akane Kirino.

"It's embarrassing."

"……snort."

She raised her head and hit him in the back with her head, and Zong Gu did not move.

Akane Kirino sat back again, lay down back, and raised her feet to use the same trick again.

Zong Gu turned around and grabbed her feet first.

"Be honest."

She struggled a few times after being spread out her legs, "You let go first."

Zong Gu looked at her speechlessly.

"Okay, I won't get it..." This attitude made people shy inexplicably. Akane Kirino compromised quickly, but she didn't give in completely, "So stingy."

He then let go of his hands, put her feet down, and turned around.

The atmosphere became a little colder. Akane Kirino was still lying on the floor, staring at Sonogu's back for a while, and she took the initiative to speak, "Who was that person just now?"

"I don't know, I must be a neighbor nearby."

"Can they be Hongzi's relative?"

"I can't guess this."

She felt that the two were a little far apart, so she moved two more steps towards him, spread her legs and stretched to him.
