Chapter 286

Having seen the room's interior several times, but never before having come to this room at this time, Nijika looked at the quiet room and inexplicably felt that there was some ambiguous atmosphere surrounding it.

My heart is beating very fast.

She swallowed hard, followed Liang inside, and cautiously glanced back.

Ikuyo, who had been very excited just moments before, has now quieted down and blushed slightly.

Hitori stared blankly at the floor, as if he were thinking about something outrageous.

At this moment, it was still Liang who was moving. She stretched, let out a soft moan, climbed into bed, and lay down on the side of the bed.

"Turn off the lights earlier."

After saying this, she closed her eyes.

Nijika watched her lying on the Qun Lu Jiu and commented on her posture.

"That's too casual! Hey."

But after she finished speaking, she realized that Liang's actions seemed to be fine; in fact, it made her feel more at ease.

If they go to bed early, they won't have any sparks flying with Hayato-kun, and they might end up doing things they shouldn't have done so quickly.

However, Nijika was still a little nervous looking at the bed; this was the first time she had ever been in a man's bed since she grew up.

"That's true, go to bed early."

Ikuyo's attitude changed at this moment. She smiled weakly and climbed onto the bed, lying down on the other side of Liang's bed.

She and Liang occupied the two sides at the very edge of the bed.

Oh no!! I've been scammed!

Nijika finally realized what was happening.

You all talk about it so naturally, but aren't you still chickens out when you get here?

Isn't this just putting her and Hitori on either side of Ishikawa Hayato?

"Um, Bocchi-chan... how about..."

Just as Nijika was about to back down, she saw Hitori brace his calves against the bed, leaning forward as if preparing to climb on top.

"Um...?"

Hitori turned around in confusion.

No, there's nothing there.

Nijika waved her hand in denial and, like Hitori, started going to bed.

She had completely forgotten that this guy would probably be willing to sleep next to Ishikawa Hayato at night, let alone do a live broadcast.

Nijika began to feel somewhat annoyed with herself for agreeing to sleep with her boyfriend earlier because she didn't want to see him being intimate with another woman.

Once in bed, she saw Hitori Ikuyo.

Nijika felt a chill run down her spine. This way, whether she lay on Liang's side or next to Hitori, she would still be in contact with Ishikawa Hayato.

She quickly pleaded with him.

"Bocchi-chan, do you want to come over here?"

Hitori Ban hesitated for a moment, leaning on his back, looking quite conflicted.

Nijika also noticed that Ikuyo, who was lying peacefully next to her, had perked up her ears.

If Hitori agrees, then it's true that she and Ishikawa Hayato slept side-by-side.

Nijika didn't know what Ikuyo thought about this—whether she was happy to be able to cheat on him, or worried about being touched inappropriately at night.

As a girl herself, she knew that being timid and wanting to cheat weren't mutually exclusive.

"Ah... then..."

Just as Hitori were dawdling and taking their time to utter a single sound, the door they had just closed opened.

Upon entering the bathroom, Ishikawa Hayato immediately went into overclocking mode, quickly washing his body, drying his hair, and starting to clean the bathroom.

He patiently dried his hair for about ten seconds before rushing to his room.

He held the thought that the others might still be standing by the bed, hesitating, and suddenly pushed open the door.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, let's all go to sleep!"

At that moment, what he saw was...

Hearing the door open, Nijika and Hitori immediately lay down, along with the four people who lay down on the bed with their bodies spread out, and a spot left for him in the middle.

Although he had already planned how to lure them into bed, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy when he saw them already in bed.

They even reserved the seats.

But after looking at them a couple more times, he noticed their nervousness, and without exposing it, he smiled and pretended to be regretful.

"Sigh, they're all asleep so soon, they shouldn't have played a little longer."

As he spoke, he turned off the light, quickly adjusted to the darkness, and went to the side to pick up a blanket and cover the four people who were pretending to be asleep.

After covering himself with the blanket, he went back to the foot of the bed and climbed up from the middle, lying down in the spot they had left behind, between Nijika and Hitori.

After lying down, he hugged the blanket and spoke softly.

Goodnight everyone.

After he finished speaking, you could feel the girls around him relax their breathing a little.

Ishikawa Hayato smiled in relief.

The bed that Ishikawa Hayato bought was very large; it took a lot of effort to disassemble and transport it in. Even with five people lying down, it wasn't crowded at all.

You can easily sit up by turning over to the left or right.

In the dark room, with familiar furniture, a familiar ceiling, and a familiar girlfriend, there was a different kind of sense of security and realism.

Ishikawa Hayato knew that he finally had a home of his own in this world, a lively, happy, and wonderful home.

They can support each other, affirm each other, and give each other happiness to spend their lives together.

He lay in the middle of the bed, flat on his back, staring straight at the ceiling. All four of them were lying around him, and the feeling of quietly preparing for the night was wonderful.

As soon as Ishikawa Hayato lay down, he felt an overwhelming sense of peace and tranquility that lulled him to sleep.

But he didn't want the night to pass so quickly.

He reached out and grabbed her hand, and she reciprocated by Hitori.

He turned to the side and reached his other hand over to Ikuyo, teasingly tickling her waist, only to be lightly slapped away by her.

While he was flirting with the two people, he heard Nijika move behind him, and then his hair was gently touched.

Ugh, I'm about to get a lecture.

Ishikawa Hayato sensed something was wrong.

Sure enough, Nijika was quiet for a while, then let out a heavy sigh as if she couldn't bear it any longer, and stopped pretending to be asleep.

She sat up and looked at Ishikawa Hayato.

"Hayato-kun, get up."

Then he climbed out of bed first.

Ishikawa Hayato sat up with a weak smile and followed Nijika out of bed.

Nijika walked out of the room in the dark, with Ishikawa Hayato following behind her. After the two left the room, Ikuyo quickly sat up.

"Is Senior Nijika really that bold?"

She asked the other two in surprise.

"It... it shouldn't be."

"I was wondering why I came back so quickly; my hair wasn't even dry."

Nijika walked ahead, her petite frame conveying dissatisfaction.

Although he was being made angry, Ishikawa Hayato felt quite happy.

"I just want to be with everyone as soon as possible..."

Ishikawa Hayato always felt that he might be under Nijika's control in the future, or perhaps she would spoil him.

"There will be plenty of opportunities to sleep."

Nijika stopped and turned to look at him. The stern look in her red eyes was hard to tell whether it was a reprimand or a resolute expression.

This means she's agreeing to sleep together from now on.

With a smile, Ishikawa Hayato quickly approached her as she looked flustered.

"Very good!"

When he called out, Ishikawa Hayato unlocked an achievement.

Lift Nijika high in the air.

Even though she was being teased, Nijika patiently pulled Ishikawa Hayato into the bathroom and dried his hair.

"My hair has grown much longer than before."

Behind him, Nijika gently combed his hair, ensuring the hairdryer's airflow reached every part of his head.

Ishikawa Hayato squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

"You sound more like a band member now, don't you?"

Is this the only reason you're growing your hair out?

Since it would take quite a while to warm up to a comfortable temperature for bed, the two chatted casually about various topics.

The hairdryer was blowing loudly, and Ishikawa Hayato resisted the urge to turn around and hug Nijika, remaining seated obediently.

"No, I originally wanted to tell Hitori that change isn't difficult, but she changed herself first."

"I knew it..."

Nijika was not surprised at all; Ishikawa Hayato was always the type to think ten steps ahead.

However, this also shows that he already had the answers to many things in his heart.

Nijika is actually a person who sees far ahead; her experience as a housekeeper and her dreams made her mature at a young age.

She also cares about and helps her partner with their affairs.

"What about the Liang family's demands and the band's situation... what are you going to do about it, Hayato-kun?"

Ishikawa Hayato sensed her desire to understand his complete plan.

He turned his head and looked at Nijika.

"Come to think of it, I think I told Seika about the plan, but I never told Nijika."

Nijika turned off the hair dryer, a hint of guilt on her face.

"Hmm... it's my fault for not asking..."

Ishikawa Hayato smiled, not to comfort her, but to say with great confidence.

"I will become a very good doctor in the future, so that you can be with me openly and honestly, without being criticized by others."

So after university, I'll probably be busy for a while, but of course, I'll definitely be there when it's time to go on stage."

"There are still two years left... I will support Hayato-kun wholeheartedly."

Back in bed, Ishikawa Hayato flirted with Nijika. Nijika gave him a disgusted look.

However, the five of them, who didn't play around much afterward, quickly fell into a deep sleep on the same bed.

The morning was as peaceful as any other.

Inside the room, I took a leisurely nap.
