"I've said it many times, not to mention the impossible..."

Without the slightest pity, Yong Ye put a hand on her face, pushing away the girl who was entangled in a ghost movie.

"In the end, it's your own fault. Who asked you to come to me, and you're still taking a shower here. Then again... I don't know when you brought your changing clothes here..."

"…Today was really bad."

Ignoring Yong Ye's question, the girl knelt on the carpet on all fours, looking like she couldn't get up again after being accidentally hit.

After Shokuhou Caoqi appeared and stood up, Yong Ye and the girl sat on both sides of the desk face to face, a terrible and terrifying atmosphere dominated the entire room, and who came from that atmosphere, naturally it didn't take much .

However, Yong Ye ignored the atmosphere and used the capsule coffee machine equipped in the hotel to brew coffee for himself. .

"Do you want milk and sugar?"

"…don't want."

The girl turned her face away, looking obviously still angry.

"Why did such... such a shameful thing happen, you can still talk to me like nothing happened!"

"Otherwise, what do you want from me? Are you hurriedly bowing your head to apologize?"

"I didn't say that, but I can't accept it!"

In contrast to Yong Ye's indifference, Shokuhou Caoqi, who was lying on the table, showed a look unique to a child who was bullied, and his face was still as red as before.

"Okay, I know your mood, but calm down, excitement won't solve the problem."

After hesitating for a while, Yong Ye's hand crossed the table and placed it on the girl's still wet blond hair, gently stroking it, comforting him in the way he was most accustomed to.

If you have had similar experience, you will not be too surprised. He didn't say this after all, because he felt that this would make people think that he was a pervert and a hooligan.

"Really... um~ unexpectedly not bad? Why do I feel that you are very skilled at this kind of thing?"

Frowning in disgust, Shokuhou, who originally wanted to wave Yong Ye's hand away out of instinct, found that Yong Ye felt quite comfortable to touch. Yong Ye seems to be very skilled at this kind of thing?

"Well... It can't be said to be skilled, it can only be said to be ordinary, right?"

It's hard to say that there are many children in the family, he usually appeases like this, right? Therefore, Yongye can only deal with the past vaguely.

"I'm really not reconciled..."

The girl who felt like she was being comforted like this, murmured something without a subject, which Yong Ye couldn't understand.

"What are you unwilling to do?"

"No."

Shokuhou, whose expression gradually returned to normal, waved Yong Ye's hand, got up from the table, and sat up straight.

When Yong Ye didn't drink the black coffee in depth, she hesitated for a while, and gracefully picked up the cup of black coffee that was given to her.

Adults can drink bitter coffee carelessly, at least Shokuhou Caoqi believes so, so she usually only drinks black tea in front of people, and doesn't add sugar or milk to coffee or black tea... Well, at least it's always been like that in front of others. , so she also didn't want to show a timid side in front of Yong Ye.

Although... Yong Ye can notice that her eyes wandered, her hands were shaking slightly, and when the corner of her eyes swept over his side, she could feel an inexplicable tragic awakening from the look on her face.

After having known each other for so long, he naturally knew that Shokuhou Caoqi likes sweets and doesn't like bitter things, but... Shokuhou Caoqi is a stubborn child, and it seems that he wants to drink it for the sake of unwarranted face. That coffee.

I don't know that Yong Ye has already seen through everything, and Shokuhou Cao Qi's clenched fists unknowingly are already sweating.

She lowered her head and stared at the black-brown water for a while, then without much hesitation, she lifted the handle of the coffee cup and sipped the bitter coffee.

In an instant, the girl's elegance and calmness disappeared. She frowned and pursed her lips, her eyes narrowed into slits.

"...Are you sure you don't want some milk and sugar?"

"I'm not a child!"

Shokuhou Misaki replied stubbornly with his face turned to the side.

"...I didn't say you were a child, and there's no need for you to get angry, right?"

But I just saw it for a while, and I won't lose a piece of meat... For the time being, Yong Ye didn't say this part to avoid irritating the other party.

"I'm not angry."

"If you can say something like this, it means that you are still trying to be arrogant, and you are still a child, right?"

"..."

"There are things that you don't like and are not good at dealing with. This is not a shameful thing. At least adults will not deliberately try to be brave for such things, and I also appreciate the kind of straightforward children who dare to admit that they are not good at things."

"…real?"

Finally, there was no way to completely ignore Yong Ye's words, Shokuhou turned his head slightly.

"Really, trust me. What does it matter if you're just here? No one's watching anyway, you're still young... no, I mean you're still young, and you have to show yourself as a child every now and then, say that Unexpectedly attractive, huh?"

After talking about the big truth when he was a teacher, Yong Ye took the milk and sugar and looked at the girl with wet hair in front of him.

"...Now, do you want to add milk?"

"…want."

"Where's the sugar?"

"...also."

"If I remember correctly you like sweets, it's okay to have more, right?"

"Well, please, a little more, I hate bitter things..."

The girl had the expression of a timid and pitiful cat after being drenched in water. She poked two index fingers in front of her chest and nodded as if wronged.

"…give."

"thanks……"

Obediently took the coffee that had been sweetened with milk and sugar, took a sip, the expression on the girl's face became very soft, and the corners of her lips relaxed.

...No way, I always feel that I can't say anything about him, and it seems that I have really been tamed. The girl couldn't help but think so when she realized the expression on her face.

Although some places are mature, many places are still pretending to be mature children and real mature adults. It can be seen from the beginning, but she is not willing to admit defeat easily.

However, these things are not completely fruitless. From this incident, she found that as expected... even though the personality has obviously changed, the essence of Evernight has not changed.

Yong Ye has become indifferent, no longer optimistic, cheerful, gentle and friendly as before, but... he has not really and completely become another person.
