My deskmate is actually my yandere reader.

Suddenly I'm not sleepy anymore.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Izumi Kurose sighed softly, "This is also the first time I've shared a bed with someone, so I'm having a bit of trouble sleeping."

"Finally willing to talk to me?" Shiraishi Chiren smiled. "Talking can help you sleep and make it easier to fall asleep."

'I'm just afraid I won't be able to fall asleep...'

Kurose Izumi muttered to himself.

How can I fall asleep when the person I care about is sleeping right next to me, so close together, and we bump into each other all the time?!

He's neither a saint nor a virtuous gentleman.

He's just a gentleman, nothing more!

"Speaking of which, Kurose-san, I can understand a little bit about what it feels like to stay at someone else's house now."

"Oh? What does that feel like?"

"I always felt like I would be causing trouble for the other person, so I can understand how you felt when you rejected me."

"Yes, I feel the same way as you. But I don't think Shiraishi-kun has caused me any trouble at all."

Because she was afraid that Shiraishi Chire might misunderstand or feel guilty, Kurose Izumi spoke these words very seriously.

If you really want to say something, it was he who caused trouble for Shiraishi Chiren.

Without him, Shiraishi Chiren wouldn't have been hurt; her life would have been peaceful, and she would have continued to live on, alone yet strong...

But why does the thought of this make Kurose Izumi feel a little sad?

On one hand, it's because she can't get along well with Shiraishi Chire.

On the other hand, it's also because I feel sorry for her.

No one can live alone.

The character for "person" is composed of two strokes joined together, supporting each other.

Although it was a bit of wishful thinking on her part, Izumi Kurose still wanted to enter Chire Shiraishi's life and become her support.

"Kurose...can I drop the 'classmate' part? It feels like we're friends, but it's too formal to keep calling each other 'classmate'?"

"Yes, that's fine, I don't mind."

"Kurose-kun?"

"Haha, you can actually remove it, there's no need."

Actually, Izumi Kurose doesn't quite understand why people from island nations like to add interjections like 'kun', 'san', or 'chan' after their surnames or given names.

"Kurose".

"Well, I'm here."

"Kurose".

"..."

Why didn't you call me?

"White...White Stone".

Fortunately, it was dark at the moment, and Kurose Izumi had his back turned, otherwise Shiraishi Chiren would definitely have noticed his blushing face!

Why does being called so gently twice make my heart flutter?!

He wondered to himself, while at the same time feeling a little itchy in his chest.

Perhaps it was because Shiraishi Chiren's voice was so beautiful, or perhaps it was because people's five senses became more acute in the darkness.

"Pfft... You're probably looking embarrassed again now, aren't you?" Shiraishi Chiren laughed lightly.

"Is...is that right?" Kurose Izumi replied softly, feeling embarrassed.

"Hmm... I'm suddenly feeling sleepy, shall I go to sleep?"

Okay. Goodnight, Shiraishi.

Goodnight, Kurose.

After saying goodnight to each other, the two slowly closed their eyes and cleared their minds.

A wave of drowsiness washed over them, causing their consciousness to gradually fade.

In the middle of the night, Kurose Izumi naturally turned over and naturally hugged Shiraishi Chiren again.

"Shiraishi..."

Goodnight, Teacher Yongheng.

Chizuru Shiraishi, nestled in Izumi Kurose's arms, slightly opened her eyes and smiled.

Let me vent a little and share my thoughts in the main text.

I complained a bit in the author's comments yesterday because I didn't follow the story, it didn't get a recommendation spot, and I kept getting reported. It's really annoying.

Then, unexpectedly, a dozen or twenty people encouraged me and told me to keep writing.

I also received some tips and monthly passes, which touched me deeply.

Ok……

To this, I want to say that I will not abandon my career; please rest assured.

Even though being reported has affected my recommendation slots and significantly reduced my exposure, which may cause my performance to fall short of expectations, or even be so bad that I can't even get full attendance, I will not abandon this project.

I can truly guarantee this, and please believe me and continue to support me.

I will write the story carefully and strive to create stories that everyone will like and find interesting.

Therefore, please give me a chance to read it during Monday and Tuesday.

The so-called "following the reader" means reading until the last chapter, the last page, where it shows "to be continued".

This is really important to me; it's the data that determines whether I get featured spots and exposure.

As for some readers saying it's not enough and wanting more chapters, I'll say it again.

Before my book is published, I consistently update twice a day. I won't add more, because I can't afford to.

I'll have to wait until it's published. Once I don't have to control the word count to determine the recommendation position, I can update more often.

I also promise that after the book is published, I will write at least 6,000 words a day, and occasionally 10,000 words!

Okay, that's all.

Love you all, my little brother.

55. The weather is so nice today!

The next day, at six o'clock in the morning.

The pale morning light shone through the curtains fluttering in the wind, faintly illuminating the interior.

On the large bed in the center of the room, Kurose Izumi held Shiraishi Chire tightly in his arms, his arms around her waist.

And Shiraishi Chiren lay peacefully asleep on his chest.

After a while, the dawn gradually brightened, shining on Kurose Izumi's face, causing him to frown.

"Um..."

He murmured something and slowly opened his eyes.

First of all, unlike the feeling of waking up in the past, my body felt heavy, but at the same time, it was warm.

When you inhale gently, you can also smell a refreshing fragrance.

Kurose Izumi immediately realized that something was wrong!

He suddenly opened his eyes wide and was shocked to see Shiraishi Chiren burying her head in his arms!

She was fast asleep, her arms wrapped around Izumi Kurose's waist, pressed tightly against his chest!

And he—placed his hand on Shiraishi Chiren's waist and abdomen, his palm truly feeling the softness of her body!

"Shiro-Shiroishi-kun?"

Kurose Izumi's eyes widened suddenly, and she stammered out a call.

At the soft call, Shiraishi Chiren stirred slightly, nuzzling her face against his chest.

Then, nothing happened.

"Shiraishi, Shiraishi." Kurose Izumi withdrew his hand and called her softly, his heart filled with confusion.

what's the situation?

How did you end up hugging each other while you were sleeping?

Fortunately, he woke up first, which allowed us to create some distance and make it easier to explain later.

Otherwise, if Shiraishi Chiren wakes up first, it will definitely cause some misunderstanding and make the atmosphere between them awkward!

"Waaah..."

Chire Shiraishi murmured cutely, then moved her little head and snuggled gently against Izumi Kurose.

Kurose Izumi felt a tingling sensation in her chest, and the warm breath penetrating her shirt and touching her skin, which made her scalp tingle.

"Shiroishi, Shiroishi, wake up."

He reached out and nudged Shiraishi Chiren's shoulder, while simultaneously shifting his body back slightly.

Unfortunately, Shiraishi Chiren held him tightly around the waist, making it impossible for him to move!
