Chapter 887

She shook her phone and explained:

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

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

"Of course you can!"

And so.

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

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

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

During the filming and introduction process, Aoi Fujiwara also truly felt the changes brought about by this ten-ping new home.

The previous three-ping 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 when Ruri Natsume was leading Aoi Fujiwara and Reisa Kaga to introduce the details of the independent washroom enthusiastically—

"Click."

The bathroom door lock was gently turned open.

Chikage Natsume finished his bath, wiped his wet hair with a dry towel, and walked out from the doorway filled with misty water vapor.

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

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

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

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

This scene was just captured completely into the lens by Aoi Fujiwara, who was filming the panoramic view of the living room.

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

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

Natsume-kun... really doesn't have an independent bedroom after all...

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

But thinking of the follow-up, she shyly moved the phone lens away slightly, laughed to cover it up, and her voice was half a degree higher than usual:

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

Ruri Natsume turned to see her brother and smiled:

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

Chikage Natsume continued to wipe his hair with a towel, looking at them gathered at the washroom door with some curiosity:

"You... what are you all gathered here for?"

After a simple inquiry, he understood that Xiyuanji Qilai Xiyuanji and Lingyin Xuecun were curious about the layout of the new home, and Aoi Fujiwara was filming a video to share.

Regarding this matter, Chikage Natsume didn't care at all.

After all, Lingyin Xuecun and Xiyuanji Qilai Xiyuanji were originally the younger sister's 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.

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

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

【Lingyin Xuecun: (*￣—￣*)】

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

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

The other end of the city.

Xiyuanji Qilai Xiyuanji was wearing cute pajamas, lying on her own soft big bed, her fair calves swinging gently in the air.

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

"Wow... it really became much more spacious!" She sighed in a low voice, a sincere smile appearing on her face, "If I go to play next time, the activity space will be much larger, and I can play more openly 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 Chikage Natsume walking out after taking a bath and wiping his hair—

Xiyuanji Qilai Xiyuanji's finger sliding on the screen stopped abruptly.

She was stunned.

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

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

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

Her heartbeat skipped a beat uncontrollably.

Her fingers seemed to have their own consciousness, gently clicking the screen to pause the picture of that moment, and then... secretly enlarged it a bit.

Almost at the same time.

In her own quiet and tidy room, Lingyin Xuecun 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 was always reticent in the group and rarely spoke actively, deep down, she did have a curiosity about the new home environment where Chikage Natsume and his sister moved.

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-ping hut.

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 also looked much more spacious.

Mm, maybe I can try to make more complex dishes next time...

The video continued to play.

Then, that picture appeared.

The bathroom door opened, Chikage Natsume walked out wiping his hair, home clothes, slightly wet hair, cheeks red...

Lingyin Xuecun's fingers holding the phone paused imperceptibly.

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

Just when Ruri Natsume, Aoi Fujiwara, and Reisa Kaga returned to the kitchen and began to make late-night snacks enthusiastically, while Chikage Natsume was curled up in the living room, continuing to flip through the shoujo manga he hadn't finished reading—

"Ding-dong—!"

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

Hearing this abrupt movement, the three girls in the kitchen and Chikage Natsume in the living room were all stunned, stopping the movements in their hands.

It's this late... who could it be?

Chikage Natsume reacted first.

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

Without opening the door rashly, he habitually leaned over and looked out through the cat's eye 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.

Chikage Natsume was enlightened, and only then remembered the previous agreement.

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

He saw a figure standing in front of the door.

Sana Akita was wearing playful low twin tails today, and she was wearing a set of casual jacket and 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 tiger teeth, her voice full of vitality:

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

Before, when chatting on LINE, Sana Akita did mention that she would stay at her good friend Miki Kondo's house tonight, so she could stop by to play for a while to celebrate Chikage Natsume's promotion in the shogi tournament.

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

"Mm, good evening. Come in."

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