The girl under the cherry blossoms, her smile is like a flower

Not long after returning home, Qingmiya Feng received a Line message from Shimizu Mio.

After changing into a set of casual clothes, he walked out of the apartment again.

It was still early in the morning and the crows had not yet gathered on the telephone poles. As soon as you walked outdoors, you could feel the scorching heat of midsummer. Pedestrians on the road were either holding umbrellas or walking in a hurry, trying every means to avoid the afterglow of the sun.

The high-end apartment where Shimizu Mio lived was not too far from Kiyomiya Kaede's location, otherwise Kiyomiya Kaede would not have chosen to run back home that night after waking up from the dream.

I took the tram from one part of the city to another.

Kiyomiya Kaede bought some fruits at a nearby shopping street, glanced at the floor where Shimizu Mio lived, and walked in in two or three steps.

Although it is summer now, there are still many chances of catching a cold. If you suddenly go from the hot outdoors into an air-conditioned room, you are likely to catch a cold.

I rang the doorbell and within seconds, the door opened from the inside.

Shimizu Mio's pretty little face poked out.

“Good luck, good luck.”

"...Well, good afternoon, Kiyomiya-san," the always dignified Shimizu Mio was a little embarrassed to look into Kiyomiya Kaede's eyes at this time. She took a step away and said, "Come in first."

"Okay. How's your cold, Senpai?"

Qing Gong Feng put the apples he bought on the shoe cabinet and asked while changing his shoes.

Huh? Why does this scene seem familiar?

Qing Gong Feng subconsciously looked around, the key point was the door behind him, would he be unable to get out again like last time? !

Yukiho, don't come over here!

No, the situation now is different from before. Xueho will not harm him. If he really encounters a ghost wall again, he might shout: Xueho! Come here quickly!

"Well - it still feels a little uncomfortable."

Shimizu Mio lifted her long hair from her shoulders and looked down.

She was still in her nightgown, and her face had a hint of pink, probably from illness.

"Have you taken the medicine? How's your head? Does it feel dizzy? You don't have a fever, do you?"

Looking at the clean living room table, Qing Gong Feng asked subconsciously.

"It should be fine. It hasn't reached that point yet." Shimizu Mio wanted to pour water for Kiyomiya Kaede, but was stopped by him.

Qing Gong Feng boiled the water very skillfully.

Japanese people seem to drink cold water all year round. It’s okay on normal days, but hot water is healthier when you are sick.

"Are Mayu-sister and Miho-sister not here?"

"They went back to Kyoto for something." Shimizu Mio sat on the sofa, feeling restrained as if she was not at home. A huge sense of guilt hovered over her.

Someone with her personality was forced to lie, and the target was Kiyomiya Kaede. Shimizu Mio had already begun to regret why she did not firmly reject May and the others' proposal, but now that things have come to this, it seems she has no choice but to go on.

"Well, Senior, where is the thermometer? It would be safer to take the temperature."

"The thermometer seems to be broken. I just tried it and it didn't respond."

Shimizu Mio walked to the cupboard, stood on tiptoe to take down the thermometer and let Kiyomiya Kaede take a look.

After taking it and fiddling with it for a while, Qing Gong Feng finally accepted the fact - some things that you wouldn't think of in daily life but are useful at critical moments will always break down when you're not paying attention.

After a few more words, the water boiled. Qingmiya Feng poured a cup of hot water, and then put the medicine in a place where Qingmizu Mio couldn't see - a physical medicine.

Most of the causes of colds and fevers are due to poor physical constitution. Although a physical constitution medicine cannot make a person immune to all diseases, it can improve a person's physical fitness. As for how long this improvement is, it is difficult to say clearly.

"What are you doing recently, Senior?"

Sitting on the sofa, Qingmiya Feng observed Qingmizu Mio's expression. As long as a trace of sleepiness and fatigue appeared on her face, he would tell her to go to bed.

"Studying, but mainly dealing with some household affairs." When talking about this, Shimizu Mio's eyes became brighter.

"Senior is also working hard." Qingmiya Feng sighed, and then found that at this time, except for her slightly red face, Shimizu Mio did not look sick at all, and even... she was a little excited.

He glanced at the steaming teacup, and after confirming that the temperature was not suitable for humans to drink, he began to wonder if he had sprinkled gas-related constitutional medicine around.

"How do you feel now, Senior?"

The setting sun shines through the window, and you can see particles floating in the air.

In the distance, tall buildings stand tall, creating an evening scene of a modern metropolis.

"I feel weak and my head is dizzy." As she said this, Shimizu Mio raised her hand and rubbed her temple. The shape of her wrist was very beautiful.

Qing Gong Feng stirred the boiling water with a spoon, trying to lower the water temperature faster.

"Take some medicine. If you feel sleepy, you can take a nap. You will be fine when you wake up."

He is not bragging. A physical medicine may not be very effective in enhancing physical fitness because it is not combined with appropriate exercise. However, it can still be used to treat minor fevers and colds.

"Ah."

Shimizu Mio looked at Kiyomiya Kaede who was holding the cup with her bright eyes and nodded slightly.

"Almost done," Qing Gong Feng brought the teacup to Qing Shui Mio and took out a few capsules for treating colds from the medicine box, "Senior, come and take the medicine."

If Shimizu Mio was lying on the bed at this time and Kiyomiya Kaede was holding the decocted Chinese medicine, then this scene could be filmed as a classic re-enactment of the TV series - a modern version of "Da Lang" drinking medicine.

When taking the teacup, Shimizu Mio touched Kiyomiya Kaede's hand. It was just a momentary touch, but the warmth spread into Shimizu Mio's heart, and she wanted to hold it.

"What's the water temperature?"

Looking at Shimizu Mio taking the medicine, Qingmiya Feng asked.

"Just right."

Shimizu Mio's lips look very moist, especially after being touched by water.

"It's still early, why don't you get some sleep?"

"okay."

Shimizu Mio nodded, her long hair as soft as silk.

Walking into the bedroom, Shimizu Mio took off her slippers and lay down on the bed. The temperature in the room was just right.

The last time they were in this room, Shimizu Mio cried in his arms as if she had lost something precious.

They looked at each other and remembered the incident at the same time.

The room was filled with a faint scent of a young girl, and Qing Gong Feng put the kettle on the table.

"I'm going to the living room to read."

Facing Shimizu Mio's gaze, he picked up a book called "Too Loud a Loneliness" from the bookshelf.

Shimizu Mio buried her whole face in the thin quilt, with only a pair of eyes blinking.

"Qiyomiya-san can watch from here," she said in a muffled voice.

"I'm afraid I'll disturb the senior sister's rest."

"It's ok!"

"Well...Okay then."

Qing Gong Feng pulled out a chair and sat on it.

"Good night, Senior."

"Ah."

The room became quiet, with the occasional sound of Qing Gong Feng flipping through books being heard.

Qing Gong Feng looked back and saw that Qing Shui Mio had closed her eyes, so he went back to reading with peace of mind.

After an unknown amount of time, Qing Gong Feng heard footsteps coming from behind him.

"Senior sister, are you awake?" He turned his head, but the next second his eyes lost their light.

Shimizu Mio hugged his head.

"Wait! What is this for? It's too soft... too messy, right?! Facial cleanser or something... No! "

The book in his hand was thrown to the ground. There was a sentence written on the opened page: For thirty-five years, I have been surrounded by a pile of waste paper. This is my love story.

Qing Gong Feng felt like he was in the middle of it.

"...Senior?" He opened his mouth in disbelief, wanting to breathe some air, but the sweet smell made his head dizzy, so he began waving his hands around.

"Kuriyama-kun~"

The familiar tone was as pleasant as wind chimes, different from the original sound of Shimizu Mio that was like the sound of an autumn stream. This voice had a more gentle touch.

"......" Qingmiya Feng stopped struggling, "Xueho?"

"Did you forget about it, Kuriyama-kun?"

Shimizu Mio, it shouldn't be that Yukiho's arms loosened their strength. She puffed up her face and glared at Kiyomiya Kaede angrily.

Qing Gong Feng was able to regain his sight.

"How could I forget?!" Qingmiya Feng shook his head. He felt very awkward now. The girl who hugged him was a senior on the outside, but Yukiho on the inside. This made Qingmiya Feng feel like he was taking advantage of Senior Shimizu.

And this happened without Senior Shimizu knowing about it, which is a very sinful thing to think about.

"What is Yukiho busy with recently?"

He racked his brains to find a topic to talk about, otherwise those petal-like lips might attack at any time.

No, that's absolutely not possible. It's too unfair to Senior Shimizu!

"What are you busy with?" Yukiho tilted her head and thought, "Of course, I'm busy thinking about how to be with Kuriyama-kun forever~"

She suddenly laughed and buried Qing Gong Feng's face in her again.

"Wait wait wait! Yukiho!"

Kiyomiya Kaede pushed Yukiho away with great determination, and Senior Shimizu unexpectedly had something? !

"Kuriyama-kun!"

Yukiho suddenly called out his name. Qingmiya Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he found that Yukiho was looking at him with a wronged expression, as if she was about to cry.

"...What's wrong, Yukiho?"

Qing Gong Feng swallowed his saliva. He inexplicably felt that the temperature around him was getting lower and lower. Even the sunset that was bright just now was a little dim.

"Kuriyama-kun doesn't like me anymore!"

"How could that be?" Qing Gong Feng answered without thinking.

"Then why did Kuriyama-kun reject me?!" Yukiho opened her watery eyes, as if she would cry in the next second.

"Because this is Shimizu-senpai's body. Shimizu-senpai is innocent. I like Yukiho, but that doesn't mean I have to do anything to Shimizu-senpai. It's not fair."

Qing Gong Feng held Xue Ho's face and rubbed it gently with his thumb. He stared into Xue Ho's eyes, very gently and seriously.

"Yukiho is Yukiho, and Shimizu-senpai is also Shimizu-senpai. They are different."

"Don't you like this body?" Yukiho asked, with a gleam in her eyes.

"......" Qing Gong Feng was silent for a moment. How should he answer?

"For some reason, I can't become Yukiho yet," Yukiho's eyes were gentle, and she placed her hand on the back of Kiyomiya Kaede's hand, "If Kuriyama-kun doesn't like it, then I'll ask the Shimizu family to find another shrine maiden that Kuriyama-kun likes."

"Xuehui, that's not what I meant." Qing Gongfeng shook his head quickly, "If you really like someone, you must like all of that person, their appearance, personality, and soul."

"Shimizu-senpai is pretty and I like her personality, but we are not lovers yet," Kiyomiya Kaede held Yukiho's hand, "Yukiho and I are lovers, so what Yukiho and I can do, I can't do with Shimizu-senpai."

Yukiho nodded as if she understood, and then said, "Then why don't you just become lovers? As my miko, Shimizu Mio will definitely serve Kuriyama-kun for the rest of her life. It's only a matter of time before you do this."

"Human emotions are complicated, Yukiho."

Qing Gong Feng gave a helpless smile.

"No girl can resist Kuriyama-kun. I can be sure of that. It's only a matter of time before a girl falls in love with him."

"No, I'm so happy that I want to jump up just to win Yukiho's favor."

This is Qing Gong Feng's true feelings.

A bright smile returned to Xueho's face. She was about to speak, but she yawned lightly. In an instant, she suddenly lost all her strength.

Qing Gong Feng quickly reached out and hugged her.

"Mr. Kuriyama, it's time for me to go." Yukiho looked up at Kiyomiya Kaede's face and said goodbye reluctantly.

"Okay, see you next time, Yukiho."

"Um......"

Yukiho used her last bit of strength to look at Kiyomiya Kaede until her eyelids closed.

After maintaining this posture for a while, Qing Gong Feng put her back on the bed and covered her with a quilt.

......

Qing Gong Feng is reading a book.

Shimizu Mio, who was lying behind him, quietly opened her eyes, stared at Kiyomiya Kaede's back for a moment, and then closed her eyes in peace.

This time the cosplay has the answer.

Fengjun did not see himself as a substitute.

He likes himself too...
