Chapter 212

She hung up the curtains that Liang had brought, and changed the bed sheets and duvet covers in the guest room to her own, effectively turning the guest room into Liang's room.

The entire room was transformed from its original standard layout into a very trendy one, with strangely patterned curtains, sheets, and duvet covers, musical instruments and models of unknown meaning, as well as a table full of comic books and a computer.

After everything was completed, Ishikawa Hayato looked around the room thoughtfully and asked a question.

"What's wrong?"

"The smaller room has a better feel to it."

She stood up, picked up the last PS4 that hadn't been put back in the room, and said to Ishikawa Hayato.

"He went to the living room."

"Eh..."

Ishikawa Hayato was surprised.

Liang stopped and turned to look at him quietly.

Ishikawa Hayato, knowing she was wondering why he had been surprised, explained.

I thought Liang would reward me with his body.

He had barely finished speaking when he heard Liang sigh.

Wasn't that enough?

Ishikawa Hayato thought for a moment.

When Liang saw him deep in thought, his expression became somewhat strange.

"Does that mean Bocchi spends every day with you...?"

Without a second thought, Ishikawa Hayato nodded with a satisfied smile, while Ryo narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction and asked.

"You really didn't do anything inappropriate?"

"I can't bear to go for a cold run."

Seeing Ishikawa Hayato's serious answer, Ryo paused, letting out a slight sigh.

She walked over, went straight to Ishikawa Hayato, rested her head on his chest, placed her hands on his shoulders, and whispered.

"Just don't embarrass me in front of Bocchi."

"Liang is so cute."

"Call me 'sister'."

Her voice carried a hint of tenderness and inexplicable satisfaction, as if she had heard something that made her very happy.

"Sister~"

Ishikawa Hayato called out in a coquettish tone, but his actions were anything but cute, and he gave him a cold glare.

When the two came out with their PS4s, Hitori had almost finished preparing the food, and Ishikawa Hayato went over to help set the plates.

Liang glanced at him, ignored him, and went to connect the PS4 to the TV by herself.

On the other side, after Ishikawa Hayato placed the food on the table, he sat down without paying any attention to anything else, watching Ichiri, who had taken off his apron, walk Hitori them.

She hung her apron on the refrigerator and walked over, but then noticed that Ryo had already connected the PS4 to the TV, but was still slowly setting something up. She glanced at Ishikawa Hayato, hesitated for a moment, and then called out.

"Liang Sang... let's eat first."

"Um."

Liang then put down the controller and came over.

Seeing that the relationship between the two had eased slightly, Ishikawa Hayato revealed a sly smile. Ryo had always regarded Hitori as a pitiful junior, or even a younger sister. As long as Hitori would take a step back, she, as the "older sister," would naturally also show the deference of an "older sister."

When he reached the table, Liang glanced at him and said to Hitori.

"Bocchi, you're going to be terribly fooled by this man."

Hitori looked at Liang with confusion, not quite understanding why Liang would suddenly say that. She pondered Liang's reasoning as she answered.

"It doesn't matter how Hayabusa lies to me..."

Seeing that Hitori said this without thinking, Ishikawa Hayato looked slightly smug.

"The bond between Hitori and me is unshakeable, right, Hitori?"

Hitori nodded repeatedly.

Under the table, a cool foot stepped on Ishikawa Hayato's leg.

The three of them sat at the dining table, eating lunch and chatting.

While it was supposed to be a chat, Ishikawa Hayato discovered that Ryo was actually trying to elicit information from Hitori, for example, when she asked...

"Does this pervert have a habit of sleeping naked?"

Does it snore?

"Are you kicking off the blankets?"

He knew nothing Hitori asked, and showed a frustrated expression.

Seeing Hitori, Ryo turned to tease Ishikawa Hayato.

"You didn't even bother with a raw gem like Bocchi? Falcon, are you alright?"

Ishikawa Hayato clearly saw a hint of mockery on her face; she obviously knew and was deliberately teasing him.

However, if he had actually done something wrong, she might turn on him immediately. Ishikawa Hayato didn't respond to her question, but instead asked her a question in return.

"Liang, will you be staying here often from now on?"

"Um?"

Liang gave a puzzled hum but didn't delve into it, and then replied.

"Probably most of the time."

After she finished speaking, she paused, glanced at Ishikawa Hayato, and her golden eyes showed a look of understanding.

She asked Hitori.

"Bocchi, do you live here all the time now?"

Hitori noticed the strange exchange of glances between the two, and she vaguely sensed what was going on.

I'll go back this weekend.

"Oh."

Liang responded calmly, then, as if he didn't intend to participate in the conversation, his gaze fell on the food in front of him, and he used his chopsticks to cut open and pick up a piece of fish.

Hitori was also deep in thought, head bowed.

Seeing that the two had suddenly fallen silent, seemingly lost in thought, Ishikawa Hayato changed the subject.

"By the way, about the album next..." / "That!"

But his voice was drowned out by a loud shout that rang out simultaneously from Hitori.

As Hitori finished speaking, she noticed that she had overpowered Ishikawa Hayato's voice, and she looked at Ishikawa Hayato uneasily.

Ishikawa Hayato waved his hand, signaling her to speak first. He was a little worried that Hitori might have some objections, since she was the first person to live in the house with him. Hearing Ryo say this, she might have the illusion that she was being kicked out.

Ishikawa Hayato pretended not to know the situation and took a bite of his food, preparing to think about how to deal with it.

But Hitori's voice was soft, somewhat shy, curious, and even expectant.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about me, I... I also..."

She was too embarrassed to explain herself clearly, but Ishikawa Hayato still felt a tightness in his chest as he listened.

Liang showed no surprise. She glanced at Hitori and spoke frankly.

"Sorry, I'm not thinking about a threesome at the moment."

"Cough cough!"

Ishikawa Hayato was speechless at the girls' explosive remarks.

168. Choices Before the Semester (4)

The roles of prey and hunter are not fixed. When the number of prey and their hunting desire exceed that of the hunter, then the prey becomes the hunter.

Although he didn't know how Hitori felt when he had their eyes on them before, Ishikawa Hayato certainly felt like he was standing naked in their gaze right now.

At first, he was indeed very excited to hear them say that, but once he calmed down, he realized that... giving them too much made him a little scared.

Fortunately, Hitori only glanced at him and did not continue to argue.

Liang also stopped the conversation.

At the dinner table, the three fell silent, and peacefully finished their lunch in this strange atmosphere.

After the meal, Ishikawa Hayato was in charge of cleaning the table and washing the dishes. Usually, Hitori would stay by his side and help him out at this time.

But today, Liang dragged her to play PS4.

"Um, why, ahhh!"

Hearing the frantic shouts and frantic clicking of the controller Hitori the living room, Ishikawa Hayato put down the clean bowl he was washing and turned around to look.

In the living room, Liang was not only controlling his game character to rampage through Hitori, but he was also providing commentary.

"Bocchi, I'm going to use Flash Crystal Wave."

"Liang, Liang Sang, haven't you already used it?"

"Sorry, I spoke a little too slowly."

Liang said sorry, but her tone completely implied that she would do it again next time, without even the slightest bit of remorse.

I don't know if she was trying to correct Hitori's shocking behavior at the dinner table by playing the game, but she beat Hitori so badly that he had no gaming experience whatsoever.

Ishikawa Hayato, of course, wouldn't stand idly by and watch Hitori be bullied. He quickened his pace and finished washing the dishes in no time.

After washing and drying his hands, he walked over calmly and spoke righteously.

"I'm here to help you, Hitori."

Hitori looked up, her flustered and embarrassed expression tinged with a hint of emotion.

"Falcon..."

Liang merely glanced at him indifferently.

Since the game can only be played by two people, Ishikawa Hayato naturally couldn't tamper with the game program to join the game on the spot, so he could only helplessly provide off-field assistance.

This was a concession made out of necessity.

He sat between the two women, holding one of them in each arm and wrapping his arms around their waists as if to suggest they lean slightly closer to him.

On the television screen, both of their game characters stopped playing.

Hitori glanced at him, then obediently shifted her position and moved closer to him.

Liang nudged him with her elbow, but after hearing the commotion from Hitori's direction and seeing Hitori Ishikawa Hayato's figure had almost completely obscured Hitori, she felt slightly relieved and leaned towards him.

But a moment later, Ishikawa Hayato's off-field assistance arrived, and Ryou held her breath and glared at him.

Ishikawa Hayato didn't go too far; while teasing Ryo, he excitedly pointed out Hitori.

"Quickly, this is the moment, like Mount Tai pressing down!"

"Oh, um!"

Even so, Hitori, who rarely plays games, couldn't compare to Liang, whose breathing was slightly rapid.

After losing, Hitori looked at Ishikawa Hayato with guilt.

"Falcon... I'm sorry..."
