"I refuse," Miko-chan said, crossing her arms, her eyes filled with disdain as she couldn't help but retort, "How could I possibly sleep with you?!"
No matter what, she was a girl, even if she was a salted fish, she still cared!
No way! Absolutely no way!
Amamiya Natsuki sighed, "We clearly slept together before, you actually forgot."
"When?" Miko-chan asked, her eyes suspicious.
"That summer holiday in junior high second year," Amamiya Natsuki reminded her, "That afternoon, you came over to play, and it just so happened to rain, and then we slept together… Are you trying to shirk responsibility?"
"Pfft~" Miko-chan lightly spat, trying hard to recall, "I remember now… That was a nap, right?"
"We slept together, that much can't be denied."
"Kyosuke was there at the time, it's completely different from now!"
"…"
"Alright, I have a legitimate reason." Amamiya Natsuki raised his hand, "There's only one quilt left at home, so we can only sleep together tonight."
Miko-chan bit her pink lips, annoyed, "Isn't that because you didn't see the message in time?"
"It's my fault." Amamiya Natsuki didn't argue, raising his phone, "But the temperature is only twenty degrees now, you'll definitely catch a cold if you don't cover yourself at night, and you don't want to catch a cold, do you?"
"I…" Miko-chan bit her lower lip unwillingly.
Amamiya Natsuki continued, "As everyone knows, colds are easily contagious, and Auntie just recovered not long ago, you wouldn't want Auntie to get sick and suffer, would you?"
Miko-chan: "…"
"It's not as exaggerated as you make it sound." Miko-chan crossed her arms and sat on the sofa, quickly thinking of a solution, "It's just a quilt… I'll go back and bring my own quilt over."
Amamiya Natsuki said, "Wouldn't it be too troublesome to carry it back and forth?"
Miko-chan covered her chest with her hands, her eyes filled with disdain, "It's just next door, it's not troublesome at all."
A single man and woman, in the same room, and sharing a quilt at night, it's easy for accidents to happen, right?
What if she accidentally got pregnant… She was still just a high school student, that kind of thing was too terrible to even think about!
Miko-chan didn't have much confidence in herself.
If Amamiya Natsuki really wanted to bully her, it would be hard to say if she would firmly refuse.
Maybe she would quietly lie flat and let herself be bullied… After all, she was a salted fish girl.
"Eh, wait." Miko-chan's eyes lit up, "I've thought of a solution."
"What solution?"
Miko-chan stood up and said, "Come home with me."
"Hmm?" Amamiya Natsuki didn't immediately understand.
"To my room." Miko-chan stepped towards the entrance, "You sleep over tonight, I have a spare quilt in my wardrobe, I'll sleep on the bed, you sleep on the floor, and then you can quietly sneak back at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
"…"
So it was a role reversal.
Instead of Miko-chan running away at night, it became him sneaking in.
Both sides reached a consensus.
More accurately, Miko-chan made a unilateral decision, and Amamiya Natsuki had no veto power, so he could only turn off the lights and leave with Miko-chan.
"So cold." As they walked out of the house, a cold wind gently blew, and Miko-chan subconsciously hugged her arms, shivering slightly.
The night was deep.
The long street was desolate.
After the rain cleared, a crescent moon quietly appeared, casting a faint, clear glow.
Besides Amamiya Natsuki and Miko-chan, no other pedestrians could be seen.
Amamiya Natsuki locked the door and naturally took Miko-chan's right hand, and the two of them walked towards next door under the moonlight.
The moonlight was serene, and the two walked hand in hand, silently on the incredibly familiar night street, the subtly harmonious feeling was especially delicate.
Unfortunately, the two families' houses were too close, and after only a few steps, they arrived at Miko-chan's doorstep.
"Let go of my hand." Miko-chan's pretty face flushed slightly, and she pulled her hand free, took out her key, and carefully opened the door.
Entering the entrance, Auntie and Kyosuke were naturally already asleep, only the Earth-Bound Spirit Dad was sitting at the dining table, looking at the newspaper that would never be updated.
"Miko-chan, welcome back." Dad pushed up the glasses on his nose, his voice ethereal, "Why are you bringing Natsuki home so late?"
"…" Facing her Dad's question, Miko-chan's pretty face flushed slightly.
Why bring him home?
Of course, it was to sleep together.
Miko-chan pretended not to see him, turned her head to Amamiya Natsuki, and whispered, "Hurry and change into slippers."
"Yes." Amamiya Natsuki was not visiting for the first time, and he skillfully changed into slippers.
"To the room." Miko-chan tiptoed, stealthily walking upstairs.
"Keep your voices down." Miko-chan's Dad called from the dining table, "Mom is a light sleeper, don't wake her up."
Miko-chan's cheeks puffed out slightly.
It was just sleeping, how could it wake Mom up!
"Uncle, don't worry, I promise to take good care of Miko-chan." Amamiya Natsuki looked at Miko-chan and assured him.
"Don't talk." Miko-chan turned and glared, pulling Amamiya Natsuki upstairs.
Soon, the two safely arrived at Miko-chan's room.
"Phew…" Miko-chan turned on the desk lamp, patted her chest, and let out a soft sigh of relief, "Finally back."
Even though she was returning to her own home, it felt like a Spy Maid invasion, making her anxious.
Now that she was back in her own room, Miko-chan finally relaxed.
"Here." Miko-chan walked to the wardrobe, took out a quilt, and handed it to Amamiya Natsuki, "Lay it out yourself."
Amamiya Natsuki agreed, and just as he put the quilt down, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Eh eh eh?!" Miko-chan was startled, "Who's knocking?"
Amamiya Natsuki said, "It's either Auntie or Kyosuke."
"I know!" Miko-chan frantically squatted down and started rolling up the quilt, "Could Mom have found out… You hide on the bed first."
"Mm." Amamiya Natsuki nodded, not wasting time, and quickly hid on Miko-chan's bed.
A pleasant citrus scent wafted into his nostrils.
Speaking of which, he often came to Miko-chan's room to play during junior high, but this was the first time he had lain on her bed.
Miko-chan quickly stuffed the quilt back into the wardrobe, turned and walked to the bedside, picked up a plush toy, covered Amamiya Natsuki's face, and then walked to the door, took a deep breath, and opened the door: "…Kyosuke?"
Seeing that the person outside the door was her younger brother, not her mother, Miko-chan slightly relaxed.
"Sister, why did you only open the door now?" Kyosuke Kyosuke looked up, his voice puzzled.
"I just fell asleep." Miko-chan pretended to yawn, rubbing her eyes, "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping and coming over?"
"I just had a nightmare." Kyosuke hugged his pillow, "I dreamed that Sister suddenly disappeared, and I couldn't find her no matter where I looked… I want to sleep with Sister tonight."
Miko-chan: "…"
Sleeping together was fine; the year her Dad passed away, she almost slept with her brother every night until he started elementary school, when they started sleeping separately.
The problem was, not tonight.
There was someone else on the bed, he would definitely be discovered!
"That…" Miko-chan was still hesitating, when Kyosuke had already bypassed her, ran into the room with a thud, and was about to pounce onto the bed.
"Wait a minute!" Miko-chan quickly shouted.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Kyosuke looked over, puzzled.
"It's not convenient to sleep together tonight…" Miko-chan shook her head, "You go back and sleep by yourself, we can sleep together tomorrow."
"Oh." Kyosuke lowered his head, his expression visibly deflated, and he silently walked out.
Looking at her brother's retreating back, Miko-chan silently bit her lower lip.
An elder sister is like a mother.
After her Dad passed away, Mom had to work, and she almost always took care of her brother.
Now seeing her brother so disappointed, her heart immediately ached.
Seeing her brother about to walk out the door, emotion finally triumphed over reason.
Miko-chan took a deep breath and grabbed Kyosuke's wrist, "Forget it, let's sleep together tonight."
"…" Since she had impulsively decided to sleep together, the position was very important.
"Kyosuke, you sleep on the outside tonight." Miko-chan quickly said.
Kyosuke was puzzled, "Didn't you always let me sleep on the inside before?"
"Before was before, now is now…" Miko-chan lightly coughed twice, and sat on the bed first, "Boys grow up, they should protect their sisters."
The bed wasn't big, one side was against the wall, so sleeping on the inside was safer, as he wouldn't roll off the bed, and she used to let her brother sleep on the inside.
The problem was, Natsuki was on the inside, and if she let her brother sleep on the inside again, he would definitely be exposed!
Bringing a boy home in the middle of the night, and on the same bed, even an Kyosuke would definitely get the wrong idea.
No matter what, she absolutely did not want her brother to misunderstand her as a debauched older sister!
She would sleep in the middle, using her body to separate the two of them, and once Kyosuke fell asleep, she would let Natsuki go home, that's how it would be!
"Then I'll sleep on the outside." Kyosuke, unsuspecting, happily agreed.
"Phew…" Miko-chan secretly let out a sigh of relief, and pulled the quilt over herself.
So warm.
A warm feeling came from the quilt, and Miko-chan couldn't help but glance behind her.
He had only been lying down for a short while, but he had already warmed up the quilt.
Had his bed-warming skills been maxed out?
"Move in a little." Miko-chan quietly reached out and pushed.
Amamiya Natsuki blinked, and pointed to the wall behind him, "I'm already against the wall."
The bed was a standard single bed, there really wasn't much space for three people to toss and turn.
"Sister, move in a little." Kyosuke called out, "I'm about to fall off."
"Ah… Okay." Miko-chan had no choice but to bite her silver teeth lightly, turn her body, and lean inward.
The bed was only so big, and her body inevitably came into contact with Amamiya Natsuki.
"Sister, move in a little more."
"…Mm." Miko-chan bit her lower lip, and for the sake of her image in front of her brother, she moved her body back a little more, then her body suddenly stiffened.
"It touched." Amamiya Natsuki lightly inhaled, and sighed helplessly.
The most correct solution just now would have been to let Kyosuke go back first, and then call Kyosuke back after he left.
Now there was nothing he could do but endure.
And then… Amamiya Natsuki realized he had overestimated his willpower.
The fresh, pleasant citrus scent from the girl wafted into his nostrils, along with the warm heat transmitted by skin contact, and the delicate touch that could be clearly felt even through her pajamas… Any normal male high school student wouldn't be able to hold back!
So-called instincts are biological reactions that do not change according to human will.
Like the knee-jerk reflex.
Like… At this moment, Amamiya Natsuki only felt himself split into two halves.
His brain still maintained its rationality, shouting to stop, but his body had its own thoughts and actions.
"Ugh—!" Miko-chan's eyes suddenly widened, her pretty face rapidly turning red at a visible speed.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Kyosuke asked, puzzled.
"I, I'm fine…" Miko-chan tried hard to steady her breathing, not letting her voice show any abnormality.
She wasn't a naive young lady, so she naturally knew what was happening behind her, and she was immediately shy, angry, and anxious.
Kyosuke was still on the bed, and you, you actually… If he found out, she would never be able to speak to her brother with her head held high again!
Kyosuke frowned, "Sister, your face suddenly got very red, are you okay?"
"Ugh, it suddenly got a little hot…"
"It's clearly very cold today, where is it hot?"
"Don't ask so many questions!" Miko-chan bit her silver teeth, and reached out to turn off the desk lamp, "It's almost eleven, hurry up and sleep."
Click.
The desk lamp turned off.
The room suddenly plunged into darkness.
"Sister, move in a little." Kyosuke's voice sounded in the darkness, a little wronged, "I'm about to fall off."
As an elder sister, facing her brother's reasonable request, what could she do?
Of course, she had to agree to him.
"…Okay." Miko-chan hesitated for a few seconds, and moved her body back a little.
"You better stop it!" Under the cover of night, Miko-chan turned her head, glaring at Amamiya Natsuki with embarrassment and anger.
"I'm terribly sorry." Amamiya Natsuki's eyes were very innocent, "I really can't control myself."
How could he easily rein it in in just a few words? Even Liu Xiahui wouldn't be able to shrink and expand at will!
"Sister, move in a little more." Kyosuke, unaware that his sister was being backstabbed, squirmed around, looking for a comfortable sleeping position, and even squeezed Miko-chan further in.
Miko-chan was in a dilemma, on the verge of tears.
Although unwilling, but since things had come to this, and she couldn't drive her brother away, she could only bite her silver teeth and carefully move her body… For her brother, she could only choose to sacrifice herself.
"Just like this, don't move." Amamiya Natsuki leaned close to Miko-chan's ear, threatening in a low voice, "If you move again, I really won't be able to hold back, and you don't want your brother to find out, do you?"
"…" Miko-chan had no choice but to endure the humiliation and turn her head, continuing to talk to her brother off and on, while enduring the hardship, waiting for Amamiya Natsuki to cool down on his own.
As a result, after waiting for a while, not only did he not cool down, but he became even more terrifying.
"You better restrain yourself!" Miko-chan was both shy and angry, and couldn't help but reach behind her to pinch him.
Unfortunately, it was useless.
Instead, Amamiya Natsuki grabbed her hand and quietly squeezed her fingers, "Don't move, let me distract myself."
"Kyosuke isn't asleep yet, if he finds out, you're done for!" It would be fine if her brother wasn't here, but doing that kind of thing in front of Kyosuke, how could she possibly agree to you!
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me." Amamiya Natsuki apologized decisively.
"…" It was already past eleven at night, and Kyosuke's energy was ultimately insufficient.
After talking for a while, he soon quietly fell asleep.
After confirming that her brother was asleep, Miko-chan quickly got up, bit her silver teeth lightly, and looked behind her with a flushed face, "You hurry home!"
Amamiya Natsuki sat up and said in a low voice, "Wait a moment, it's not convenient now."
Miko-chan's gaze shifted downwards; although she couldn't see clearly in the darkness, the blush on her pretty face deepened by another three points, and she glared at him with embarrassment and anger, "...Pervert!"
Amamiya Natsuki's tone was faint, "I'm a pervert, I'm shameless, my biggest mistake was that I shouldn't have been tricked home by your few words."
Miko-chan: "…"
