Chapter 439
Standing side by side in the checkout line, the young Yuigahama Koho couldn't be told from the outside that she was old enough to be Kitakami Yoru's mother.
Instead, she really looked like Kitakami Yoru's sister.
Just as it was about to be Yuigahama Koho's turn to pay, the pair in front happened to be a real sister and brother.
The sister was in her early twenties, and the brother was about five or six years old.
The brother was crying and making a scene, clutching a box of brightly colored condoms in his hand, acting spoiled and saying he wanted this chewing gum.
He insisted on buying it, kneeling down and hugging his sister's thigh to beg and act spoiled, refusing to leave if she didn't buy it.
The sister looked very embarrassed, constantly trying to snatch the condoms from her brother's hand, explaining that it wasn't chewing gum, and firmly refusing to buy it!
But this only led to more intense resistance and acting spoiled.
Occupying the manual checkout counter, many customers couldn't stand it and pushed their carts away to find self-checkout machines.
Yuigahama Koho was paying attention to what was happening in front, but didn't notice that what the little boy was holding wasn't chewing gum, but condoms.
She even turned her head to chat with Kitakami Yoru about this matter.
"Ah no... Sister, did you see wrong?"
Kitakami Yoru was also calling her Sister here.
"See wrong what?"
Yuigahama Koho frowned slightly and asked curiously.
"Fine, I promise to buy you chewing gum, put this back, I'll take you to pick something else."
At the same time, the sister couldn't stand her brother's acting spoiled and gave up, agreeing to satisfy her brother's request.
"It turned out to be... I..."
"Isn't it chewing gum?"
Through Kitakami Yoru's subtle reminder, when she finished paying and walked out of the supermarket, Yuigahama Koho felt she had lost all face.
Her mind was wandering while walking, and she almost tripped.
After getting into the car and buckling her seatbelt, she slapped her cheeks hard to wake up.
"Ready to go home, Kitakami-kun."
Turning the key, Yuigahama Koho observed the expression on Kitakami Yoru's face through the rearview mirror.
Kitakami Yoru didn't speak, pulling the fastened seatbelt.
The car started, the engine shook violently, and it slowly drove out of the parking lot.
Without a word, Yuigahama Koho took Kitakami Yoru back home.
As soon as they entered, Yuigahama Yui, who had finished showering and had hair still damp with water, walked up and complained to Yuigahama Koho:
"Mom, why didn't you tell me when you went out?"
"I came out of the shower and looked for a long time but didn't see anyone."
With a hint of suspicion and scrutiny in her eyes, Yuigahama Yui withdrew her gaze from her mother and the boy she liked.
"Went to the nearby Aeon to buy some dinner, having sukiyaki, what's the rush?"
"You keep Kitakami-kun company and sit for a while, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare, it will be ready soon."
After Yuigahama Koho finished speaking, she turned and reached for a bag Kitakami Yoru was carrying.
"Ah..."
Kitakami Yoru hurriedly handed it over, and in the exchange, physical contact was inevitable.
Their fingers would definitely touch.
The beautiful woman who had been lonely for a long time accidentally had her soft, tender palm lightly brushed by Kitakami Yoru's fingers, and she instantly felt itchy.
Pursing her lips, Yuigahama Koho secretly observed Kitakami Yoru and found that he hadn't done it on purpose, so she let it go.
If it really was on purpose.
She would probably have to carefully consider what this young, handsome brother was trying to do...
Teasing Sister?
"Kitakami-kun, what did you and my mom buy?"
Yuigahama Yui looked at Kitakami Yoru and sat back on the sofa to ask.
"Bought some beef, vegetables, seafood, basically Auntie bought everything according to what you like to eat."
Kitakami Yoru smiled, feeling guilty in his heart.
A second ago, he called her Sister.
A second later, he changed it back to Auntie.
"Ah? Really? Mom, she..."
Yuigahama Yui made a sound of inexplicable shyness, turned to look at the kitchen, and then turned back.
She felt strange.
Kitakami Yoru went shopping at the supermarket with Mom, although her leg was injured and it wasn't suitable for her to follow.
"Decided to take leave?"
Kitakami Yoru picked up an apple and took a bite.
"Yeah, take a day off, I'm so tired from playing today."
"It's a pity, I didn't play enough at the farm..."
Yuigahama Yui raised both arms and stretched forcefully, her plumpness jumping.
"Did you send a message to Ebina-san to tell her you're home?"
Kitakami Yoru swallowed the apple in his mouth and said.
"I would have forgotten if you hadn't said anything, sending it now."
Yuigahama Yui raised her eyelids and hurriedly lowered her head to search for her phone on the sofa.
"I'll send a message to Chika too, say goodnight."
"I can arrange to meet her tomorrow, I miss her so much."
Kitakami Yoru, who had had his fill of talk and knew the taste of the marrow, felt his heart start to stir just thinking about it.
Kitakami Yoru, who opened LINE, found Fujiwara Chika, changed her nickname, and sent a message.
"Chika, going to sleep?"
Attaching a cute emoji, Kitakami Yoru put away his phone and waited for a reply.
On the other side.
Yuigahama Yui finished sending messages to Miura Yumiko and Ebina Hina, looked up at Kitakami Yoru and said: "Kitakami-kun, it turns out Tobe likes Hina, so Hina asked you for help."
"Ebina-san must have said it..."
"Right, I'm really unlucky enough."
Kitakami Yoru complained.
"You acted so intimate, everyone thought you were dating, or close to it."
Yuigahama Yui replied, and added in her heart: "Fortunately... Kitakami-kun isn't with Hina, and Hina doesn't like Kitakami-kun..."
Thinking about what would happen if she and her best friend liked the same person, just imagining that terrible thing happening to herself made Yuigahama Yui feel miserable.
"I don't really like Kitakami-kun that much either..."
"Just a little bit..."
Thinking about Kitakami Yoru, Yuigahama Yui secretly sized up the person she liked in front of her.
She definitely liked him.
To the point of being head over heels, she definitely hadn't reached that level.
But it was impossible that it was only a little bit.
"It seems the effect is good, after all, even you thought so."
"A while ago, I basically stayed in the Service Club every day, and Ebina-san was so close to you too."
"Oh, Yuigahama-san, that... Miura-san, does she like Hayama Hayato? What's the situation with those two?"
The conversation turned here, and Kitakami Yoru asked in return.
As a member of the popular group who was inseparable, Yuigahama Yui should know the inside story.
"It's the same, actually I don't know clearly either, whether Hayama-kun likes Yumiko, Yumiko likes Hayama-kun very much though."
"Everyone doesn't deliberately think about this matter usually..."
