It's just such a short sentence, but it exposes a lot of information.

When Shiraishi's mother said this, her tone was lonely and sad that could not be concealed.

"Yes, yes? Shiraishi, whom I know, is a very gentle and considerate person, and has always been taken care of by her. ”

Izumi Kurose racked his brains and thought about how to respond to Shiraishi's mother, but he could only say such a sentence from his heart.

He didn't understand why Shiraishi's mother would say such a thing.

It is clear that Shi Qianren is a very gentle, considerate, and caring person who cares about others.

Why do you say, 'I can live with you and show such a soft expression?'

Similarly, Izumi Kurose's words, in Shiraishi's mother's heart, were so ridiculous, harsh, and incomprehensible.

Would a person as indifferent as Chiren Shiraishi be gentle and considerate?

She had lived with her daughter for twelve years, and had been in touch on and off for five years, and she had never felt that way.

Shiraishi is just a person who is so indifferent that he doesn't care about everything, people, even his biological parents.

She is strong, lonely, and no one needs her, as if she can support her own life and live alone.

Twelve years old...... No, even before Shiraishi Chiri, it already gave people such a feeling.

Shiraishi's mother didn't say what she thought of her daughter, but smiled lonely: "Can you leave a contact information?" Kurose-kun. ”

"Absolutely!" Izumi Kurose hurriedly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, "My phone number is 18xxx......"

"Okay, in the future, if you need help, you can contact me."

Shiraishi's mother nodded, wrote down the phone, and then said, "It's just...... I don't usually have much time in Tokyo, so I may not be able to help you in time. ”

"No, if you run into any trouble, I will definitely contact you!"

"Well, then I'll ask you to take care of Qianpian a little more, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye to each other, Shiraishi's mother waved her hand and turned to walk towards the car.

She opened the door, sat in the driver's seat, drove the engine, and slowly walked away under the watchful eye of Izumi Kurose.

It wasn't until the car disappeared around the corner of the street that Izumi Kurose withdrew his gaze.

He sighed lightly and walked in the direction of Chiyoda Station, thinking about what Shiraishi 7's mother had just said, as well as her expression.

But no matter how you think about it, there is no conclusion.

Simply, he didn't think about it so much, because this was not something he should interfere with.

To intervene in other people's family problems, you must first have that kind of relationship, and there must be opportunities and the other party is willing to speak.

Shiraishi Qianren didn't reveal too much, as if she deliberately avoided it, she didn't talk about her family, but just briefly talked about her own situation.

In this way, Izumi Kurose came to Shinjuku with a heavy heart and walked down the long cherry blossom slope.

The cherry blossom trees on both sides have almost withered, and their branches have become bare.

Even if the wind blows, it only brings up a few petals, and there are only a few cherry blossoms on the slope.

When I came to the shoe cabinet in the teaching building to change my shoes, I happened to run into Hirasawa Matake.

"Morning, Zhenwu." He said hello.

Hirasawa Masatake didn't say hello in return, but looked around with a strange look on his face and said, "You kid came alone today?" It's strange. ”

"Shiraishi takes a day off."

"Oh...... Sick? Then you might as well take time off work to take care of her. Hirasawa Matake paused with his elbow for Izumi Kurose and teased.

"Don't make a fuss, she's not sick, she's just having something."

Izumi Kurose closed the door of the shoe cabinet with a helpless expression, and Matake Hirasawa walked down the spiral staircase towards the classroom.

"Don't talk about me yet, how are you doing over there? Has there been any progress? ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" Hearing Izumi Kurose suddenly mention his matter, Hirasawa Matake suddenly smirked.

"What are you laughing at? It's disgusting. Izumi Kurose shuddered and pulled away a little, "With a foolish smile on his face, could it be that he has made great progress?" ”

"It's not ......."

Hirasawa Matake restrained his smile, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "I have become very ordinary friends with Tsuda, that's all." ”

"Isn't that nice?" Izumi Kurose smiled, "It all started with friends. ”

"Yes, yes? So how are you and the squad leader doing? Let me know the wind. ”

"On top of friendship, the feeling of unfulfilled lovers." Izumi Kurose thought about it and answered truthfully.

Now, he can't figure out whether he and Shiraishi Chiren feel like they're in love.

After all, many programs are reversed from the beginning, so it is not so easy to judge.

Ordinary love probably starts to get to know each other from an opportunity, and then slowly gets along, develops events, feels caring, and ambiguous......

But he was good, he lived together directly, and a lot of ambiguous things happened!

'Mother Shiraishi, why did you say that? ’

Izumi Kurose thought about it, and inevitably thought of this morning's conversation, but she still couldn't understand the slightly lonely look of Shiraishi's mother at that time.

Did she want to express that Shiraishi Chiren's attitude towards her was not soft, but as indifferent as ordinary people?

When he walked to the door of the class, Izumi Kurose paused and asked, "Zhenwu, what kind of person do you think Shiraishi is?" ”

"What kind of person ......?"

Hirasawa scratched his head in annoyance, thought for a while, and then replied, "Indifferent, don't get close to people, cold feeling, right?" ”

"Yes......"

Izumi Kurose became thoughtful.

"What's wrong? I asked this decently, because I was afraid that I would like the class leader? ”

"Come on, you kid really dare to say, go chase your Tsuda."

"Haha, although the squad leader is very good-looking, I don't like that, you know."

"I don't know much about your perverted lolicon."

"Hehe, the perverts of Hei Changzhi, Nianshang, and Kaolin's Flower Control are also worthy of saying such things."

……

Lunch break, in the activity room of the Animal Research Department.

"Shiraishi has something to do today and takes a day off, so it's just the two of us."

Izumi Kurose placed two bento boxes on the birch table, picked up the fragrant black tea in front of him, and took a sip, his face became refreshed.

Should I say it or not, the craftsmanship of Inari Snow tea is really good.

Even people like him, who don't understand tea and don't drink tea, began to drink it with relish and became addicted.

"Is that so...... That's a bit of a pity, and I want to communicate more with Shiraishi's seniors. ”

Inari Xue lowered her little head, and her big watery eyes kept peeking at Kurose Spring, and her heart was full of nervousness.

Usually, with Shiraishi Chipian here, she still thinks it's nothing.

But if she was alone, she suddenly became a little nervous, after all, she didn't know Kurose Izumi well and didn't know what to say, so the atmosphere was easy to become awkward.

"Alright, let's have lunch." Izumi Kurose put down his teacup and unwrapped the cloth wrapped in the bento, "Even though Shiraishi isn't here, we also have to do club activities?" ”

"I—I know ......"

Inari Xue responded in a low voice, but she was thinking in her heart, what are their club activities?

Tea?

Or are they busy with their own work?

I don't know, it's pretty laid-back anyway, and I don't feel like I'm doing anything.
