Band members, girls with fermented bean curd, step forward!

Faced with this sudden addition of a bedmate, he trembled slightly, unsure whether it was excitement or some other emotion.

Facing Xiangzi, who occupied the left side of the bed, he stood on the right side of the bed, hesitated for a moment, and then lay down in his own quilt.

Suddenly, a soft, warm little hand stepped over the blanket and reached into his territory, precisely finding his left hand.

Chen, who had been stiff, turned her gaze to Xiangzi beside her. Xiangzi turned around, smiling, her dark golden eyes full of tenderness.

Goodnight, see you tomorrow~

Feeling the softness and warmth in his hands, Chen Shen took a few breaths of the cold air. He straightened his stiff body.

This was the most peaceful night he had ever slept.

Chapter 41 Rupa's Feelings

Her long-established biological clock woke the blue-haired girl precisely on time.

Slightly confused, she opened her eyes.

The ceiling felt somewhat unfamiliar, and I felt a long-lost warmth and comfort on my body.

She quickly realized that she was in Chen's room, and that she had even slept in the same bed with him last night.

She felt inexplicably shy. After all, she had calmed down considerably, and sleeping in the same bed with a boy she had only known for a short time was still quite a shock for a young girl.

Xiangzi pulled himself out of his reverie, preparing to shake off the groggy feeling he had when he first woke up.

At that moment, the texture on her hand caught her attention.

Yes, last night, she placed her hand on Chen's, and the two fell asleep feeling each other's warmth and touch.

I just didn't expect that even after a whole night, Chen still hadn't let go of my hand?

Xiangzi was somewhat delighted, pleased to have discovered this side of Chen.

She turned to her side, propped herself up slightly, and looked at Chen, who was still asleep.

His eyes were closed, relaxed, and his chest rose and fell rhythmically with his steady breathing. Occasionally, he would let out a few inexplicable murmurs.

It was a beautiful day; the sunlight streaming through the window filled the room, setting a good mood for Xiangzi at the start of his day.

She admired the sleeping face of the person beside her, and before she knew it, quite some time had passed.

Sunday was a long-awaited moment of leisure. After all, weekends were usually spent dealing with the piles of housework piling up in her rented apartment.

I'm able to enjoy the morning so peacefully, all because of him!

Xiangzi's eyes softened more and more.

Gently stroking the white bandage wrapped around the boy's head: Liu Xiajiu (5) ^ Ling Silin Five Bandages, a trace of pain rose from the bottom of her heart.

These happy times were brought to him by him, and Xiangzi knew this perfectly well.

Therefore, she must do everything in her power to protect this warmth.

She had already spent a considerable amount of time observing Chen's sleeping face.

But she doesn't think the time spent on this activity can be called a "waste".

Seeing Chen's sleeping face is a very happy thing.

However, it's getting late.

Xiangzi turned on his phone screen; the numbers on it now started with "nine".

Nagasaki Motoyo's harassing text messages continue as usual.

It's time to prepare breakfast for him. Once it's ready, I'll wake him up.

Ignoring that information, Xiangzi made this decision.

Although he was very tired, sleeping for too long wasn't a good thing, and skipping breakfast wasn't good for his health either.

She exerted a slight effort, preparing to break free of their intertwined hands, expecting considerable resistance, but they separated with ease.

She then realized that, in their intertwined hands, it was actually her who was gripping harder and more tightly.

Laughing helplessly at his own pathetic state, Xiangzi picked up his clothes and began a truly new day.

segmentation

Chen's chaotic mind slowly started working as the noise coming from outside the door began to register.

His biological clock usually kicks in around midnight on weekends, and he won't react to external noises until at least 11 PM.

When he's really asleep, almost no sound can wake him.

It just goes to show how healthy the students at Sakura Empire High School's schedule is; after sticking to it for a week, the results were quite noticeable.

In his hazy state, he felt the blanket on his right side being pressed down, as if someone was sitting on it.

Subconsciously, his body tried to break free from the discomfort, beginning to struggle for control of the blanket.

The next moment, a malicious finger blocked his airway, instantly bringing him back to his senses.

He opened his eyes and saw two girls beside him.

Beside him stood a mature and intellectual older woman, blocking the sunlight streaming in from the window.

The petite, short-haired girl was looking around Chen's room. With her arms crossed, she saw Chen wake up, gave a soft hum, and then walked out of the room on her own.

"Little brother~ Is it a little cold sleeping at night?"

Rupa's voice sounded dangerous; her attention was already drawn to the neatly folded, but distinctly feminine-looking bedding.

Noticing her gaze, Chen Moming's stiff neck slowly turned to the left side of his body.

At least the person who was next to him last night wasn't there... He breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this neatly folded quilt became its fatal flaw.

"Haha, yes, yes~ it is a bit cold."

He chuckled awkwardly as he answered Ms. Rupa's question, but seeing her unwavering expression, he finally gave up.

"It's so cold on the ground this autumn and winter, isn't it warmer to sleep in bed?"

Although he didn't mention any names in his words, both sides knew perfectly well who he was referring to.

After all, it was Ms. Toyokawa who opened the door for them when they knocked.

Everyone knew that Miss Toyokawa had been taken home by Chen, so she wasn't surprised.

However, when they asked about Chen's current situation, it was Ms. Toyokawa who told them that Chen was still sleeping in bed.

How did she know Chen was still sleeping in bed? It could only be that she and Chen were sleeping in the same room.

Xiao Zhi, however, was unaware of this; she was simply looking around at her younger brother's residence.

As he entered the room and observed, he saw the neatly folded quilt placed at the head of the bed.

She discovered that things were going beyond her expectations; the relationship between her classmate, Toyokawa, and her younger brother had grown closer far too quickly.

She even began to doubt whether this blue-haired girl was mentally sound. The first time... the second time she stayed overnight here, she could just go straight to bed and sleep with her younger brother?! What was she thinking?!

Even if my brother was 1% wrong to invite her, wasn't she 99% wrong for agreeing so easily?!

Thinking this, when she saw Chen trying to straighten up, she quickly lifted him up from behind.

She then placed her body behind him, using her shoulder as a cushion for Chen.

Her arms reached forward and wrapped around Chen's torso.

She wouldn't let Chen escape until she got the answer from her younger brother.

"Rupa, isn't this a bit...?"

Feeling Rupa's mature body pressed against him, Chen couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to escape her embrace.

But his efforts were in vain; Rupa was much stronger than he had imagined, and this position made it difficult for him to exert force.

"Really? I don't see anything wrong with it, little brother. You can sleep in the same bed with a girl you've only known for two days, but you're so resistant to my embrace?"

Her words carried an obvious resentment; unusually, she expressed her dissatisfaction quite directly.

Before meeting Ash, she had never shown her feelings to anyone else, nor had she ever taken the initiative to show closeness to others.

Then, it was this younger brother of his own.

Once she identifies someone as "family," she will never let go.

Moreover, she would give that person her whole heart without reservation.

Correspondingly, Rupa has extremely high standards for family members, and only Chen and Xiaozhi meet her requirements.

She was content and didn't plan to go to any more trouble observing. With Xiaozhi and Chen by her side, she was already very happy.

She had long invited Chen to become her family, but she had yet to receive a positive response from him.

Furthermore, in their daily interactions, she could still sense a gap between her and Chen. Chen never considered relying on her; he simply faced life alone.

She had harbored a slight resentment, but she was also very pleased with Chen for who he was, feeling that she hadn't misjudged him after all.

It's a good thing that her stubborn and self-reliant qualities exist in her younger brother; it's just that her desire to take care of others can't be fulfilled yet.

There was still plenty of time, so she wasn't in a hurry.

They work together every day, spending at least three or four hours together.

Isn't this the atmosphere of "home"? The three of them work together and help each other.

Given enough time, it's only a matter of time before he opens up to her.

However, in just one week, the situation had already spiraled out of her control.

That Tao Xiang Xiao Ling*-m!en$g% Meng^ first sister knew her little brother even before she did, and the two of them even lived in the same house.

It's normal that she and her younger brother have a good relationship, since he was her bandmate later on.

Renna and Ms. Anwa were also teammates in their own band, and they rarely interacted with Chen.

She hadn't paid attention to this issue either.

Until that day, when Chen brought that Miss Liang to the store, revealing activities outside of work that she was completely unaware of, she began to panic.

Somewhat flustered, she had already decided to speed up her actions at that moment.

However, a series of unexpected events interrupted her plan to confide in Chen.

What finally made her decide to take the initiative today was his promise to Toyokawa Shoko yesterday to become her family.

As for the final straw that broke the camel's back, it was the blanket beside her now.

"I invited you to be family a long time ago, but you haven't responded yet..."

Rupa tightened her arms, pressing her body even closer to Chen in front of her.

She rested her head on Chen's shoulder and continued her confession in his ear.

"Little brother, in my heart, you are one of the most important people, just like Ash."

"I was very worried when you got injured in the break room that day... but I had to work, so I couldn't come back to check on you."

"I was angry too. Didn't Xiaozhi slap that Ms. Toyokawa? Later, when I went inside to clean, I almost couldn't control my anger either."

"Little brother, you need to know that I care about you more than you can imagine, and I care about everything about you."

"When I saw you lying in the hospital bed last night, I was really worried... and very scared."

"Young man, I've experienced the loss of a family member. I could only stand helplessly by her bedside, watching her drift further and further away from me until she was gone forever..."

Her voice grew increasingly choked with emotion.

"After hearing what Ms. Toyokawa said last night, I can understand her predicament, and I feel very proud of the younger brother who stepped forward to help her."
