"Marui must have an ulterior motive.

He is a veteran in love with five relationships. "People From Mukugaku commented after hearing that Lilo Tsurumi was invited to stay with him.

Although there were a lot of things to complain about when he put the words "veteran in love" together, the girl was obviously more interested in the information revealed in his words. "How did you know?"

The person who was asked the question looked away in an instant. "Well.

Don't worry about how I know,

"He suddenly stuttered," In short,

That guy may look innocent on the surface, but in fact, he is more dangerous than Yuji. You must not be deceived by his disguise! "

… Something is fishy.

Although the other party straightened his mouth and tried to pretend to be serious, it was a pity that this was not an expression suitable for his baby face.

In addition, Lilo Tsurumi knew him too well.

At a glance, she could see that he had an ulterior motive for saying these words.

Perhaps he was jealous because she went to watch the inexplicable skateboard competition and didn't accompany him to play the dance machine.

Perhaps it was because he had clashed with the self-proclaimed genius from Kanagawa because he had red hair and a skillful character. Enduring Yoshi was his old partner for ten thousand years, yet he still got shot in the knee. He really didn't hesitate to screw over his teammate.

Lilo Tsurumi thought about it and replied, "I think Gamabunta's character is quite good.

Weren't you very happy when we played with him and Cillang before? "

She hesitated and asked, "I remember that you also took the initiative to share with him the limited flavor bubble gum.

Is there something you didn't tell me? "

"How is that possible?

No, there is nothing.

Why would I hide anything from you? "She answered instantly.

He answered three times in a row.

There was definitely something fishy.

The girl narrowed her eyes and didn't continue to ask. For the time being, she let go of the poor little brother who couldn't even lie.

The People From Mukugaku felt a sense of familiarity when the black-haired and black-eyed girl narrowed her eyes. 'Why does she look so much like a certain noble and domineering emperor who would frequently rub her tear mole and snap her fingers?' The people from Mukugaku felt that they were about to break out in cold sweat and immediately let out a sigh of relief.

It was not because of this that he decided to reject Bunta Marui's invitation.

In fact, it wasn't a big deal to share a room with him, even if Lilo Tsurumi didn't know any of his friends at Kanagawa Tachikai University.

Even from his tone,

She would probably form a team with many boys.

However, these problems couldn't cause any trouble for Lilo Tsurumi, who had maxed out her ability to make friends and had stepped on the corpses of a group of boys since she was young to become the king of the children.

Moreover, because of her breakup with Keigo Atobe, she urgently needed someone or something to divert her attention.

The main reason for his refusal was that Akira Tsurumi had received a phone call that night.

"Grandma said that she will send someone to pick you up and take you to Italy tomorrow." The handsome and thin boy turned his head and said to the girl sitting on the sofa.

"There are still four months before April Fools' Day."

Lilo Tsurumi replied to him without raising her head. She was focused on cutting an opening on the edge of the envelope in her hand with a paper cutter.

"If you don't do stupid things that are exclusive to April Fools' Day outside of April Fools' Day, our ancestors should be burning incense."

After saying a long string of words without panting, Akira Tsurumi put down the phone receiver and moved his hands on the landline so that it was level with the edge of the table. Lilo Tsurumi had complained about his obsessive-compulsive disorder thousands of times, and he had no intention of changing it.

"I'll give you two suggestions sincerely.

First, immediately call Dad for help.

Second, immediately start packing your luggage so that you don't have to look for a 24-hour convenience store to buy tampons in the middle of the night again. "He continued.

"You're the one who's looking for tampons in the middle of the night."

The girl answered him angrily, ignoring the boy who was obviously itching for a beating. He quickly retorted, "I don't have that ability." She finally realized the meaning of his previous words and was stunned. "Grandma asked me to go to Italy?

Why? "

"She didn't say.

I bet 200% that it has something to do with the family. "

The boy stretched and walked over to another empty sofa. He picked a seat that was neither close nor far from Lilo Tsurumi and sat down. At this distance, he could just see the words "Acceptance Letter" on the piece of paper in her hand.

He pretended to be indifferent and wanted to see the name of the school clearly, while casually talking nonsense. "Actually, I think Italy is pretty good. It's just that with your IQ, it might be a little difficult to master a foreign language in a short period of time …"

"I'm not going."

The boy's lazy tone was interrupted. He looked up and was shocked by the girl's cold expression.

"I'm not going."

Lilo Tsurumi carefully folded the acceptance letter and slowly stuffed it into the envelope. She repeated, "I'm not going."

Akira Tsurumi suddenly panicked. "Sister, don't, don't cry."

He raised his hand and wanted to take a tissue, but there was only an empty box on the coffee table. He didn't know when it was used up, and the unopened tissue was thrown in the corner of the living room.

So he could only kneel in front of Lilo Tsurumi, hold her face, and use the side of his finger to carefully wipe her lower eyelid.

Lilo Tsurumi lowered her head and looked at him quietly.

Her expression was calm, but big drops of tears fell.

"I'll help you call dad?" he asked carefully.

"I'll call him myself," she said simply, holding his wrist and pulling it away. "It's none of your business."

Lilo Tsurumi used to want to be a child born in an ordinary family. Otherwise, she wanted to be a boy.

She was born in the hottest summer. Her mother said that in those years, there had never been a summer so hot that it could burn a person's skin. It was a kind of boiling heat, and the air was the same golden color as the sun's flames.

She was born under the gaze of many people, under the expectant gazes of many people she had never seen before, and in the silent and orderly waiting.

But after the nurse announced her gender, the crowd dispersed. The person who should be called Grandma took away all the expectations that should have been given to her, and also took away her father, leaving a weak and haggard woman. A woman who had just given birth to a baby, a woman who failed to live up to the mission of giving birth to the most legitimate heir of a large family, lying alone in the hospital.

Lilo Tsurumi originally had no way to see all the harm that her mother had suffered, but her mother held her in the quiet night and told her over and over again.

This elegant and beautiful woman's eyes were humiliated when she talked about the past, with a kind of stubbornness that came after recovering from the pain and wearing armor, and the loneliness of not having anyone to talk to for many years.

Lilo Tsurumi realized at a sensible age that she had to become very strong.

She was originally afraid that her grandmother, who she wanted to be close to, would always look at her with extremely cold eyes, but after getting used to it, she couldn't help but begin to dislike such a family like her mother.

Because she didn't have a man's tall and sturdy body — in fact, in terms of height, she barely had it — and strong muscles, so even if she could protect like a man, this strength was not recognized.

After the twelve-year-old Lilo Tsurumi defeated all the heirs recognized by the highest power of this huge and complicated family, those guys who were just boys, she gave up the hope of taking back the things that were taken away from her twelve years ago.

The next year, she followed her mother to Japan and said goodbye to everything that they once yearned for but couldn't, and now disdained.

So — —

Why should I — —

Even if I have left Shanghai, I still have to be at your mercy.

Her phone suddenly rang with a notification that she had received a message.

Akira Tsurumi's eyes were full of worry, but Lilo Tsurumi ignored his hesitant expression and walked into her room.

[Sad news!

Our minister doesn't seem to be participating in the dormitory again … Although I really want you to come, I think it's important to tell you something that will affect your judgment.]

Sender (Note): Cillang's Idol.

Lilo Tsurumi slowly closed the paper and thought that if she used this reason to say that she wasn't going to the dormitory, it would probably be better than directly rejecting. But halfway through the message, she deleted it all and replied:

[It's okay, I was just about to text you, but I thought about it and decided not to go.]

[Sigh, I'm a bit disappointed.

Clearly, before the exam, everyone agreed to participate in the super classic graduation dormitory, but now the minister didn't make the appointment, so in the end, only three of the main candidates decided to go …] Sender (Note): Cillang's Idol.

[Touch touch.]

After replying with a comforting "touch touch", Bunta Marui didn't reply again.

After waiting for a while, Lilo Tsurumi changed his note from "Cillang's Idol" to "Bubblegum Fanatic" and didn't care about the phone anymore.

So, a certain someone who couldn't sleep finally sent out a message: [Then, when I come back from the dormitory, do you want to come to Kanagawa to play?]

She didn't receive a reply until the next night, so that's a story for another time.

And the reason why Lilo Tsurumi didn't check her phone until the next night — —

Although her mood was very complicated, Lilo Tsurumi still had a good night's sleep (…). When she woke up the next morning, she habitually lifted the quilt and found her slippers on the ground with half-closed eyes. She opened the paper door in a daze and walked through the corridor, preparing to go to the bathroom to wash up — —

She saw a man on the sofa in her living room.
