Chapter 495

"Mm... sometimes, it also accidentally... steps on my school uniform."

"Leaving little, gray footprints."

"I have to wash it very carefully to get it clean."

Natsume Ruri immediately pursued:

"Really? When?"

Jiahe Lianxiao shyly, hesitated for a moment, then extended her finger.

Gently pointing at the top of her school uniform shirt, near the chest area.

"Just... here."

Natsume Ruri looked in the direction she pointed.

Her gaze landed on the slightly undulating contour of her friend's school uniform.

She was silent for two seconds.

Her smile disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then.

She slowly turned her head.

And cast her gaze toward her brother.

And Natsume Chikage—

Without knowing when, he had already turned around very naturally, with his back to them.

He was "devotedly" studying the switch of the television.

"There seems to be a quite interesting program recently..."

He muttered to himself and turned on the TV.

After the screen lit up and the program sound came out.

He sat back at the low table as if nothing had happened.

His eyes were fixed steadily on the TV screen in front.

He didn't look in Jiahe Lianxiao's direction again.

He cleared his throat, looked up at the clock on the wall, and suggested:

"Ruri, let's go out shopping for clothes after dinner later."

Natsume Ruri withdrew her "kind" gaze and nodded:

"Mm, okay."

Natsume Chikage still looked ahead, speaking to the air:

"Jiahe-san, come along later too."

Hearing this, Jiahe Lianxiao raised her face.

On her shy face, a bright joy of being flattered instantly bloomed.

She nodded vigorously, her voice light but crystal clear:

"Mm!" ===== CHAPTER 496 =====
