"Knock knock."

I stood at the door and waited for a while, but after a few minutes I didn't get a single response.

Because it's okay to just wait here, after thinking about it, I opened the door to my room.

“… Haruhara, I'm in. ”

Just like when I left, the room was littered with clothes and magazines.

At the very back of the room, the person I was looking for was sitting.

"I said you, and if you are there, you will reply," I found a cleaner seat and sat down, and I looked at him dissatisfied, "Woo! You... It's a big change. ”

His eyes were bloodshot and his hair was as messy as a bird's nest.

It seems that he was distressed for a while.

"That..."

"What?"

"No, forget it."

"It's really not simple, do you want to ask Mei Yi?"

"Cai, Cai, why should I care about that guy Meiyi?!"

"Ha~ That's it."

After glancing at Haruhara, I picked up the magazine on the table and opened it casually.

It's decided.,Just don't tell him the news that Mei Yi has a favorite person is fake.,See how long he can still be hard-mouthed... But it's really good enough to pretend, and it looks uneasy.

"Haruhara."

"What, what?!"

"Don't you want to ask me if I caught Mei at all?"

"Hmm... That's a good thing. ”

"Don't you care about her?"

"Quan, don't you understand what I just said?" Picking up the pillow on the bed, Haruhara's chin rested on it, and said impatiently, "My concern is not necessary at all. ”

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, I stopped what I was doing and turned my head to look at him.

"As for me, I thought Mei Yi was a child like before, but now she's also grown up because of her beautiful romance," Haruhara spread his right hand, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face, "Isn't that great?" ”

"But、But aren't you worried about the person Mei is dating?"

"The guy who will make Mei Yi like it shouldn't be a bad guy, but it's better to say that if it's a bad person, Mei Yi won't like it."

“… You're so confident. ”

"Anyway... It's not the crux of the matter who that guy is dating, I'm busy composing love poems with Yezi. ”

"What are you talking about at this time..."

"Izumi, I'm serious," interrupted me, and Haruhara, looking at me seriously, said, "I'm going to confess to Hazuko on my next date and become a real lover with her." ”

"W-What?!"

"So, I'll support Mei Yi in love, and I don't have that much energy to care."

"I said Haruhara, you know what you're talking about?!"

Even if my temper is good, I can't help but get a little angry when I hear Haruhara's tone as if he was talking about someone else's business, and I slapped the table and stood up.

"At this time, you should first apologize to Mei, right? Is falling in love more important than my sister?! ”

“… Mei Yi has grown up, I can't care about everything like I did when I was a child, right? ”

"You... I don't understand anything. ”

"Huh?"

"You're Mei Yi's brother, that's enough reason alone!"

"Hmm... No, it's not... It's beautiful to be in love..."

"I, I... If it was Mei's decision, I wouldn't dry her..."

As if giving himself a hint, Haruhara hugged the pillow in his arms and muttered.

… It's even more useless than I imagined.

"You guy..."

Looking at him like this, I sighed in hatred.

"Think about it yourself!"

Glaring at him, I pushed the door open and left the room.

———————————— Dividing Line——————————

Outside the dormitory, Mei Yi was standing waiting for me.

"Brother Quan, brother, he..."

“…”

Biting my lip, I closed my eyes and shook my head regretfully.

“… Is it? ”

"Well, but that's the case... My brother doesn't want to care about me at all? ”

"Has it really changed..."

Mei Yi drooped her shoulders with a pained look.

To make such a sister so sad, Haruhara, is really a fool.

Looking at such a lost Mei Yi, I felt a burst of self-blame.

It's all my bad idea to come back and ask Haruhara what he thinks, and Mei didn't have to suffer another blow in the first place.

"Where are Mei going next?"

“… I want to go back to the store first, if it's too late, Uncle Akiyu and Aunt Sanae will worry. ”

"I know, then I'll send Mei Yi back to you."

"Huh! No, that, it's too troublesome Brother Quan! ”

Mei Yi blushed and hurriedly waved her hand to push away.

"It's okay, I was going to go to the bakery," I smiled wryly, pointing in the direction of the dormitory, "and although that guy from Haruhara didn't say anything, if he knew what happened to me when I let my sister go back alone, I'm afraid he would fight with me." ”

"Brother..."

At the mention of Haruhara, Mei Yi's eyes became a little gloomy.

"When I went to see him just now, I thought he actually cared about you."

"Hmm... That's right. ”

"That guy is a stupid, and a stubborn stupid idiot who wants to save face."

"Even though he says so, he actually cares about you."

"He's also worried about your business, but because he's a fool, he can't let it go."

I didn't give Mei a chance to interject and come in, so I said it in one breath.

That's right, when I first saw Haruhara sitting in the room with a decadent appearance, I was already sure that he wasn't as indifferent as his mouth said.

That's why in the end I was angry that he was still saying those cold and uncaring words, and I was disappointed in his unruly and unfrank words.

Although I didn't know what he really thought from Haruhara's mouth, it didn't mean that I didn't let Mei know that Haruhara didn't care about her, so it was better to say everything I knew.

"Is it..."

"Hmm."

Nodding affirmatively.

"That, Mei Yi," I asked tentatively looking at Mei with her head down, "You still hope Haruhara cares about you, right?" ”

“… Well, yes. ”

"If that's the case, I have a solution, would you like to try it?"

"Really, really?"

Hearing me say this, Mei raised her head in anticipation.

"yes, really."

"So what to do?"

"Well," I smiled mysteriously at her as I pulled my phone out of my bag, "someone I want to contact." ”
