Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

After wearing the same outfit as last night, Kitahara Takashi found two empty plastic bottles in the room and filled them with tap water. He took the shopping bag that Doma Mai had thrown at him last night, locked the door, and trotted all the way to the place where he and Doma Mai had parted last night.

He took out a bottle full of tap water from his schoolbag and poured it over his head with a "splash".

After pouring one bottle of water, Kitahara Tsutomu poured another bottle on his head.

After wetting his hair and clothes, Kitahara Takashi ruffled his hair, found a trash can and threw the bottle in, then sat down with the bag and began his performance.

Half past six in the morning.

Doma Ohira had already prepared breakfast, tied his bow tie, and fixed his hair in front of the mirror. He said, "Kome-chan, breakfast is ready. I'll put it on the table. Remember to eat when you get up."

"Oh, I see."

Tsuchiya's muffled voice came from under the quilt.

Doma Ohira looked at his sister who had curled up in the quilt and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

He didn't understand what was wrong with this girl recently. She seemed to be in a very low mood recently.

Is it because I have been working overtime recently and have no time to accompany her?

"Take a day off today and come back early so she can have her favorite hamburger."

Doma Daihei thought to himself, and kept reminding him, "When the alarm goes off, get up and don't lie in bed. Do you hear me?"

Hiding in the quilt, Tsuchima covered her ears with her hands in annoyance, and said in a somewhat impatient tone: "I know, I know!"

Doma Ohira just thought she was in a bad mood after waking up and didn't take it seriously.

After giving a few more instructions, Doma Ohira picked up his briefcase and went to catch the subway.

It rained heavily yesterday, so the air this morning was cool and the temperature was hot, which was particularly refreshing.

Walking on the street he had to pass every day to go to work, carefully avoiding the puddles on the roadside, Doma Daiping was walking when he suddenly saw a person squatting under the electric pole standing at the intersection.

'Drunk?'

Doma Ohira thought.

In Tokyo, you can often see drunk people lying on the side of the road sleeping.

This kind of situation is indeed very common, but she still sees such people around her home.

Doma Ohira thought about walking closer and found that the other person was a young man with handsome looks, a youthful face, and neat silver hair, but it seemed a little messy as he hadn't washed it overnight.

At this moment, the silver-haired boy was holding a bag of snacks in his arms, sleeping with his head tilted to the side.

"Kicked out of your home? How pitiful."

Doma Ohira looked at the boy who was about the same age as his sister and felt a little sympathy, but he did not take him home out of sympathy.

I just walked slower so as not to wake the other person up.

"almost."

Kitahara Takashi first glanced at Doma Ohira, then looked at his watch. He felt that Doma Umi would come out soon, so he continued to pretend to be asleep.

*

In a room of less than 40 square meters, Doma Mai tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep, so she simply took her cell phone and lay on the bed to play.

Without even realizing it, she opened Line.

Tsuchiya Mai was mentally prepared to never see the familiar "Good Morning" greeting again, but a trace of annoyance and loss still flashed through her heart.

Time wasted until she got up and climbed out of bed.

After eating a few bites of breakfast perfunctorily, Domama stood in front of the washbasin mirror with her hair tied into two low ponytails.

After carefully putting on her shirt and pleated skirt, Doma sat down on the bed, put her white silk stockings on her legs, and adjusted them to a comfortable position.

Her slender legs in white stockings make her legs look more delicate and attractive.

She picked up her schoolbag and walked to the entrance. Domama put her jade feet into her small leather shoes, hooked her heels with her fingers, touched the ground with her toes, and walked out the door.

"Good morning, Umaru-chan!"

When Doma Mei walked up the stairs, Ebina Nana was already standing there waiting for her.

"Good morning, Ebina."

After a simple greeting, the two walked towards the school together.

"Maki, your eyes are so red, what happened?"

"Don't worry about not getting enough rest."

"You can tell me if you have anything to say, although I may not be able to help."

"Ebina, thank you..."

Halfway through his speech, Domama's pupils suddenly constricted, and he suddenly stopped talking, just staring blankly at a certain place.

In her sight, she saw Kitahara Tsuyoshi holding a bag of snacks that she had thrown away yesterday, curled up under the telephone pole like a puppy abandoned by its owner, shivering.

"He wouldn't have waited for me here all night, would he?"

Thinking of this, Doma Mei ignored the fact that Ebina Nana was still beside her, and quickly walked up to Kitahara Tsuyoshi and raised her hand to pat him.

Kitahara Takashi didn't know what he was dreaming about. He hugged the snack tighter, as if he was afraid that someone would take it away. He even murmured in a dreamy voice: "Hermit, listen to my explanation... listen to my explanation, things are really not what you think... believe me..."

He made very little sound.

It was so small that Doma had to put her ear close to it to barely hear it.

Hearing the hazy murmur, she finally slapped Bei Yuan Zun's hand, but it stayed in mid-air without falling, and instead gave a light push.

Doma was pushing him, while Kitahara Takashi was calculating the time. When he felt it was almost time to wake up, he slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he saw Doma Yui, Kitahara Takashi had a look of 'dumbfounded' on his face.

This is the first impression most people have when they wake up.

Kitahara Tsune stared at Tsuchiya, and Tsuchiya also stared at him.

Our eyes met, and time seemed to pause. You looked at me, I looked at you, and no one spoke for a while.

After a long time, Kitahara Takashi regained consciousness. He smiled broadly, as if nothing had happened: "Good morning, Doma-san."

172

Chapter 172 Give me a shot.

Daihei Doma is a system engineer who works in a company with over 50 employees and has been employed for five years.

Five years of experience in society have made him more calm and he is more adept at handling his work. He is no longer as flustered as when he first entered society.

Doma Ohira himself has the idea of ​​climbing up further, but he is not an ambitious person.

He is basically satisfied with his current life and has no intention of changing anything.

It was eight o'clock in the morning, and Doma Ohira had been sitting at his workstation working for an hour and a half.

When he was about to stand up and pour a cup of tea, he received a call from his sister.

"Can I ask the teacher for leave for you?"

Doma Ohira was very surprised when he heard Doma Yui's request.

This girl sometimes often shouts that she "doesn't want to go to school", but most of the time it's just verbal complaints.

Every time when it’s time to go to school, she would still go there obediently.

"Give me a reason."

Doma Ohira walked to the tea room, poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and said calmly: "If you don't give me a reason, I won't help you ask for leave."

"I, I have a stomachache today."

In the rental house, Doma Mai was standing on the balcony talking to her brother.

"Why do you have a stomachache for no reason? Have you been to the hospital? Do you need me to take time off to go with you?"

Doma Ohira began to get nervous.

Although my sister is a little naughty, she won't lie.

"No, maybe I ate too much ice cream yesterday and got an upset stomach."

This was the first time she lied to her brother for a boy, and Doma Mai felt very heavy-hearted.

Guilt, uneasiness, shame, tension... filled her heart.

"I told you a long time ago not to eat too much ice cream at once, but you just wouldn't listen! Now you have a stomachache, right? Let's see if you dare to eat it again..."

Doma Ohira began his long and long sermon.

Domama listened intently, but her eyes unconsciously drifted towards the bathroom.

At this moment, the culprit who caused her to lie to her brother and "drove" her to the balcony to make a phone call was occupying her bathroom.

This is also why she came to the balcony to make a phone call.

The soundproofing in her house was not very good, so if she made a phone call in the room, her brother might, no, definitely would hear the sound of the shower.

Doma Mai was staring at the bathroom in a daze when Kitahara Tsuyoshi came out naked, wrapped in a bath towel.

Looking at Kitahara Takashi's broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, Tsuchima's pink and tender lips subconsciously opened, "Ah Ba Ah Ba Ah Ba..."

"Doma-san?"

Tsuchiya was so frightened that her soul almost flew out of her mouth.

Come on, what do you want to do?

Can't you see I'm talking?

At this moment, Doma Yui's desire to kill Kitahara Tsutomu reached its peak.

"Who is speaking?"

Doma Ohira seemed to have heard Kitahara Takashi's voice at this time.

"Who's talking? Brother, what are you talking about?"

Doma Yui began to act crazy, but just as she finished her words, Kitahara Takashi came closer and shouted from a close distance: "Doma-do, um!"

Before Kitahara Tsutomu could finish his words, Doma stood on tiptoe and raised her hand to cover his mouth.

"No, there really was a sound, didn't you hear it?"

Doma Ohira was sure that someone was calling Doma Mai.

"No, brother, you must be hallucinating. Oh no, my stomach hurts. Brother, I won't say anymore. Remember to ask the teacher for leave."

Without waiting for Doma Daihei to speak, Doma Mai immediately hung up the phone, then raised her head and glared angrily at Kitahara Takashi, who was smiling like a fox with his eyes narrowed: "You did it on purpose!"

Kitahara Takashi smiled and pointed to the hand covering his mouth.

Tsuchima Mai moved her hand away angrily.

"Not the first time, but yes the second time."

Doma Mai became even angrier upon hearing this.

"I took pity on you and asked you to come to my house to take a bath, but you are so ungrateful."

Doma Mai felt that she was a lowly person, so she took pity on him and brought him back.

"Who let me get wet in the rain all night?"

Someone who had a good sleep at home asked shamelessly.

"Did I let you out in the rain?"

"Who knew you wouldn't go home in the middle of the night and stand there in the rain! Do you think you're the hero of a novel?"

"It's raining! Are you stupid? It rained so hard yesterday, and you didn't find a place to hide from the rain. You just squatted there like an idiot."

Doma Mipao spoke in rapid succession, her speech getting faster and faster, just like her brother who had just accused her.

As Kitahara Tsutomu listened to her sermon, the corners of his lips gradually curled up slightly.

"What are you laughing at? There's nothing so funny."
