Chapter 553

She shook her phone and explained:

"Nanase-chan and Suzune-chan both said on LINE that they are very curious about what your new home looks like, I'll send it to our small group for them to see later."

Hearing this, Natsume Ruri's eyes lit up, and she said happily:

"Of course you can!"

And so.

Fujiwara Aoi raised her phone, turned on the recording function, and began to film the layout of the new home in one take.

Natsume Ruri, like a little master, followed along enthusiastically to introduce, and occasionally pulled Kaga Reisa, who was still a bit shy, into the frame.

The three girls laughed and played, and the atmosphere became relaxed and happy again.

In the process of filming and introducing, Fujiwara Aoi also truly felt the changes brought about by this ten-tsubo new home.

The previous three-tsubo hut had a kitchen so small that only one person could turn around, but now it looked quite spacious, and it was more than enough for two or three people to be busy at the same time.

The living room no longer had that cramped feeling, and the light seemed to be better.

Most importantly, there was finally an independent bathroom and shower room, no longer the awkward "two-in-one" layout from last time.

Just as Natsume Ruri was leading Fujiwara Aoi and Kaga Reisa, enthusiastically introducing the details of the independent washroom—

"Click."

The bathroom door lock was gently twisted open.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun had finished his bath, was wiping his wet hair with a dry towel, and walked out from the doorway filled with misty water vapor.

He had changed into a light gray comfortable home outfit, the collar slightly open, revealing clear collarbone lines.

Perhaps because of the hot water, a faint, healthy blush appeared on his fair cheeks.

A few strands of damp black hair were messily stuck to his forehead and the side of his neck, and the tips of his hair were still hanging with tiny water droplets, reflecting slightly under the light.

The whole person exuded a clean, refreshing, and slightly lazy and casual atmosphere.

This scene was captured completely in the lens by Fujiwara Aoi, who was holding her phone to film the panoramic view of the living room.

The moment Fujiwara Aoi saw this scene through the phone screen, her heart seemed to be gently gripped by an invisible hand, and then it accelerated uncontrollably.

At the same time, a strange and regretful thought uncontrollably darted into her mind.

Xia-brother... really still doesn't have an independent bedroom...

If he had one, she could find an opportunity...

But thinking of the follow-up, she shyly moved the phone lens away, laughing to cover it up, her voice a half-tone higher than usual:

"Ahahaha... Xia-brother, you... you take a bath so fast? Is it over already?"

Natsume Ruri turned to see her brother and smiled:

"Yes, brother always takes a bath very quickly."

Xia Xia Xia Mujun continued to wipe his hair with a towel, looking curiously at them gathered at the washroom door:

"What... are you all gathered here for?"

After a simple inquiry, he realized that Saionji Nanase and Yukimura Suzune were curious about the layout of the new home, and Fujiwara Aoi was filming a video to share.

Regarding this matter, Xia Xia Xia Mujun didn't care at all.

After all, Yukimura Suzune and Saionji Nanase were his sister's good friends, and they had clearly said they would come to play at home again.

They would know what the new home looked like sooner or later, there was nothing to hide.

And at this time.

Fujiwara Aoi's phone vibrated, the screen lit up, showing messages from the LINE group.

【Saionji Nanase: ヾ(?°?°?)?? Aoi-chan, have you finished filming? I'm super curious, I want to see it now!】

【Yukimura Suzune: (*￣—￣*)】

【Fujiwara Aoi: (#^.^#) Of course I've finished filming, I'll send it to you now!】

She then sent the video she had just filmed, which included the panoramic view of the new home and the one-take introduction, to the small group named "Collection Department."

The other end of the city.

Saionji Nanase was wearing cute pajamas, lying on her own soft big bed, her fair little legs swinging gently in the air.

She held her phone, saw the notification of the message sent by Fujiwara Aoi, her eyes lit up immediately, and she clicked on the video impatiently.

"Wow... it really has become much more spacious!" she sighed in a low voice, a sincere smile appearing on her face, "If we go to play next time, the activity space will be much larger, and we can play more freely with Ruri-chan and the others!"

The video moved steadily, showing the living room, kitchen, entryway...

However, when the screen inadvertently swept past the bathroom door, and happened to record the scene of Xia Xia Xia Mujun just finishing his bath and walking out while wiping his hair—

Saionji Nanase's finger sliding on the screen stopped abruptly.

She was stunned.

Her purple eyes widened slightly, her gaze locked tightly on the figure on the screen.

Her cheeks, at a speed visible to the naked eye, slowly and completely dyed a layer of crimson.

She... was seeing Xia-brother wearing home clothes and just out of the bath for the first time...

Her heartbeat skipped a beat uncontrollably.

Her finger seemed to have its own consciousness, gently clicking the screen, pausing the scene at that moment, and then... secretly enlarging it a bit.

Almost at the same time.

In her own quiet and tidy room, Yukimura Suzune finished her evening reading.

She closed the literary novel in her hand, picked up the phone that was vibrating silently on the side, and saw the message in the group.

Although she had always been reticent in the group and rarely spoke on her own initiative, deep down, she did indeed have a curiosity about the environment of the new home that Xia Xia Xia Mujun and his sister had moved into.

Especially the kitchen—she secretly hoped that the kitchen could be larger, so that next time she went over, she wouldn't have to be in a rush like last time in the three-tsubo hut, with several people squeezed together.

She clicked on the video, her cold eyes watching calmly.

The room layout was indeed much more reasonable, the sense of space was significantly improved, and the kitchen looked much more spacious.

Mm, maybe she could try to cook more complex dishes next time...

The video continued to play.

Then, that scene appeared.

The bathroom door opened, Xia Xia Xia Mujun walked out wiping his hair, home clothes, slightly wet hair, cheeks flushed...

Yukimura Suzune's finger holding the phone paused imperceptibly.

Her eyes, which were always calm and waveless like a deep pool, stared at the screen, not moving away for a long time.

Just as Natsume Ruri, Fujiwara Aoi, and Kaga Reisa returned to the kitchen to start making a late-night snack in a lively manner, while Xia Xia Xia Mujun was curled up in the living room, continuing to flip through the unfinished shoujo manga—

"Ding-dong—!"

The crisp doorbell sound broke the silence of the room at night without warning.

Hearing this abrupt sound, the three girls in the kitchen and Xia Xia Xia Mujun in the living room all froze in unison, stopping their movements.

At this time... who could it be?

Xia Xia Xia Mujun was the first to react.

He put down the manga book, got up, and walked to the entryway.

Without rushing to open the door, he habitually leaned over and looked out through the peephole on the door.

Under the soft light of the porch sensor light, a familiar, cute face with a bright smile was clearly reflected in his eyes.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun realized, and only then remembered the previous agreement.

He reached out, twisted the door lock, and pulled the door open.

He saw a figure standing in front of the door.

Akita Sana was wearing playful low twin tails today, and she was wearing a set of casual jacket and short skirt that looked very comfortable.

She was also carrying a small, exquisite paper bag in her hand.

The moment she saw the door open, a sunflower-like brilliant smile immediately bloomed on her face, revealing her iconic, cute little fangs, her voice full of vitality:

"Good evening, Xia-brother! According to our previous agreement, I'm here to play!"

Previously, when chatting on LINE, Akita Sana had indeed mentioned that she would stay at her good friend Kondo Miki's house tonight, so she could stop by to play for a while to celebrate Xia Xia Xia Mujun's advancement in the shogi tournament.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun nodded, turned sideways to clear the passage, and a gentle smile also appeared on his face:

"Mm, good evening. Come in."

Akita Sana couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and stepped over the threshold with light steps, walking into the entryway.
