The shift in Nao Asano's gaze was quickly noticed by Yuko Ibuki. She followed her line of sight and looked towards Minami Yuki's bedside table.
The two fell into deep thought.
Why is there a photo on Yuuki's bedside table? Why is the photo frame a pink heart? Who is the girl in the sailor suit in the photo
"Who is this guy?" Ibuki Yuko got off the bed and walked to the bedside table.
"I don't know her." Nao Asano stood behind her and looked carefully at the girl in the photo.
The two were silent, and both had a bad feeling in their hearts.
No matter how you think about it, it's a bad thing to suddenly find a photo of a strange girl next to your husband's bed! And the photo is framed in such an ambiguous frame!
Before today, Nao Asano would not have regarded the little girl in the photo as a threat, but today, when she met Yuko Ibuki, her mind changed.
Yuko Ibuki looks about the same age as the girl in the photo. Since she can be a love rival, then the girl in the photo may also be a lurking beast who wants to take away his prey!
Ibuki Yuko put herself in other people's shoes. Although the girl was smaller than her, a hill, no matter how small, is still a hill and has the right to be close to the sky!
"This photo wasn't there when I came here last night."
"I've never seen or heard of this girl around Yuuki."
The two briefly exchanged information and stared at the photos.
The girl in the photo was wearing a black, well-tailored sailor suit. She looked to be in grade five or six. She was sitting on the edge of a bed covered with white sheets, her upper body tilted sideways with her hands on the bed board. Her waist was leaning forward, revealing an elegant curve. Her white neck was raised with a faint smile on her face.
The girl had a delicate and lovely face, and her expression was a bit like Ibuki Yuko's. The difference was that Ibuki Yuko's face lacked vitality, like an elegant doll, while the girl's face was full of life, like an elegant princess.
The two were first attracted by the girl's appearance, and then noticed her posture.
The angle of the camera is diagonally above the girl, so it looks as if the girl is sitting next to the photographer, putting her face close to the photographer.
Her legs wrapped in white stockings were relaxed on the floor, her movements of leaning forward and tilting her head back were very intimate, and there was no sign of defense on her face at all.
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong!
If it was a formal full-body or half-body photo, Nao Asano and Yuko Ibuki wouldn't be so alert, but no matter how you look at this photo, it's a relatively private one!
Why are there private photos of other girls next to my husband's bed
In addition to the existence of the girl in the photo, the two of them had new worries.
Asano Nao's new worry comes from the girl's figure. She wonders, could it be that Yuki prefers smaller ones rather than bigger ones
Ibuki Yuko's new worry also came from the girl's figure. She thought, my petite and cute features were actually imitated by this girl, then what unique temptation do I have left? Will my existence be replaced!
When Nao Asano looked at Yuko Ibuki, she felt envious. She also wanted to become the petite girl that Yuki liked. When Yuko Ibuki looked at Nao Asano, she also felt envious. She wanted to have those majestic features that were extremely difficult for others to imitate.
The two of them went from worrying about themselves to envying each other.
These emotions existed for a brief moment before they were all covered up by the initial jealousy, and they were all thinking about one question in their minds.
—Who is the girl in the photo
Nao Asano clenched her fists, Yuko Ibuki frowned, and the atmosphere in the bedroom became depressing.
In this heavy atmosphere, Nao Asano's cell phone rang twice.
"Who is it?" Ibuki Yuko peeked unconsciously.
"It's Kazumi. She asked if she could come over and play." Asano Nao replied.
"Reject her."
"Yeah, I said I was at Yuuki's house."
"You stupid cow, don't tell her!"
"Eh?"
"Wait, tell her, let her come over and identify this photo."
"oh."
Nao Asano followed Yuko Ibuki's instructions and invited Kazumi Chiju to come over.
Chiju Kazumi was nearby, and when she heard that she could go to Yuki's house, she arrived at the door in less than ten minutes.
Ibuki Yuko opened the door for her, grabbed her hand in her astonished eyes, pulled her into the bedroom, and sat her down in front of the bedside table.
"Do you know this girl?" Ibuki Yuko pointed at the photo.
Chiju Kazumi really wanted to ask why Ibuki-senpai was also here, but when she saw the serious look of the petite senior and Nao Asano who was standing behind her with an equally serious look, she swallowed the question.
The current atmosphere seems to require an answer to this question first.
She looked at the photo carefully and exclaimed, "How cute."
"Do you know Kazumi?" Nao Asano asked as she approached her.
"I don't know her." Chishou Kazumi shook her head. "Is this a photo of Nanjun's family? That should be his sister, I think her name is Xin'ai?"
"This is not beloved." Nao Asano shook her head in disappointment.
Yuko Ibuki did not answer and agreed with Nao Asano's words.
They have seen their beloved faces in dream movies.
"Isn't it Xin'ai?" Chishou Kazumi believed what Asano Nao said. In her understanding, Asano Nao was called sister by Minami Yuki, so she should be a relative of the Minami family, so it was normal for her to know Xin'ai.
Ibuki Yuko tilted her head and she realized something was wrong. Chiju Kazumi was too easy-going towards Asano Nao, and Chiju Kazumi's questions were also very strange.
She immediately interrupted and said, "Asano only knew Yuuki a few days before you did. How could she have a beloved photo?"
"Huh? Isn't Nao-sister Yuuki's relative?" Chiju Kazumi asked in surprise.
"Huh? No." Asano Nao answered in confusion.
Chishou Kazumi was stunned. She was not a relative, but she cooked for Yuuki every day? She was not a relative, but Yuuki went in and out of her house every day
With a surprised cry in her heart, she realized that the woman in front of her was not a relative who needed to be won over, but a love rival who posed a great threat!
Ibuki Yuko looked at the alienation and vigilance that flashed across Chiju Kazumi's face, and smiled with satisfaction in her heart.
Sure enough, it was the right decision to take the opportunity to contact Chizumi. I didn't expect Chizumi to have such a misunderstanding. Fortunately, she found out early, otherwise, when the two of them had a deep relationship, if Chizumi withdrew from the competition and became Asano Nao's staff, it might cause her a lot of trouble.
Chizumi Chizu's mind was in a mess. Ever since she received the invitation from Nao Asano, one shocking thing after another kept hitting her head.
She couldn't make sense of the situation, couldn't make up her mind, her eyes wandered back to the photo in front of her.
Another new question appeared in her mind.
"If she is not the beloved, who is she?" Chishou Kazumi murmured.
The pink heart-shaped photo frame, which she had felt was a warm symbol of brotherly and sisterly love, now seemed particularly glaring.
"Is it another sister? A cousin or something?" Nao Asano tried to find the best possibility.
Chishou Kazumi shook her head and pointed at the black sailor suit in the photo: "I remember now, this is the school uniform of the Private Lillian Girls' School. This school is in Misaki. Minami-kun's hometown is in Ino Prefecture, right?"
Relatives from Ino County cannot go to school in Misaki, which means the person in the photo cannot be my younger sister.
The three of them sat side by side in front of the bedside table, motionless, three pairs of eyes staring at the photo. The girl in the photo was wearing a black sailor suit, exuding a dark sorrow that followed her gaze and enveloped them.
Nan Youxi came out of the bathroom, pushed open the bedroom door, and was shocked to see this scene.
What happened? Why are you sitting in that strange position? Why are you all so serious
Besides, weren't there two of us when I entered the bathroom? How come there's one more? He looked at the extra Chishou Kazumi and couldn't figure out what was going on.
When he got closer and saw the photos of the three people in front of him, the situation suddenly became clear.
Because he was only planning to take Asano Nao home, he didn't care about the photo at all. The socially anxious older sister was easy to fool. Unexpectedly, there were three people coming to his house now, and the other two were not easy to fool.
He sat on the edge of the bed and wiped his wet hair with a towel.
The three girls' eyes were on him the moment he came in. After taking a shower, the boy wore a pair of grey casual pants, his feet were bare in slippers, only his muscular heels were exposed, and he wore a short white T-shirt, with water droplets on his bare arms and neck.
What made them even more excited was the boy's face under his wet hair. His face was dyed an attractive red due to taking a long bath. The water droplets rolling down from the boy's hair dripped onto his white T-shirt, light-colored pants, and cloth slippers.
After being soaked in the slightly hot pool water, the young boys' bodies were like agarwood, and the fragrance of their inner youthful beauty wafted out and lingered around them. The dripping water droplets seemed to distort the space because of the fragrance and dripped onto their chests.
Asano Nao and Chiju Kazumi were shy and lowered their heads, but Ibuki Yuko was the only one staring closely.
"Good morning, Kazumi." Minami Yuki and Chishou Kazumi greeted.
"Morning, good morning." Chishou Kazumi accidentally bit her tongue and stammered.
She quickly looked up at Nan Youxi, then lowered her head again.
At this moment, she already felt a vast happiness, but her imagination was not satisfied and tried to push her to higher joys of love.
She thought that this conversation was like a husband greeting his wife after taking a shower.
It would be better if there weren’t three wives.
"Are you looking at the photos?" Nan Youxi asked.
He placed the towel on his legs, picked up the photo frame of Mozi on the bedside table, and smiled: "Isn't it cute?"
"Yeah." The three women responded. They had no objection to this.
There was a brief silence in the bedroom. Chizumi wanted to wait for the other two to ask about the photo, but Asano Nao was cowardly and Ibuki Yuko was resourceful, and neither of them showed any intention of asking.
She could only speak for herself, carefully looking at Nan Youxi's face: "Um, who is she?"
"Guess what." Nan Youxi put down the photo and continued to dry her hair.
"How could I have guessed that? Nao-nee and Ibuki-senpai both said it wasn't Koei. I don't know any other sisters of Minami-kun." Chiju Kazumi concealed her emotions slightly, pretending to believe that the person in the photo was her sister and not anything else.
"Hmm?" Minami Yuki raised her head and looked at Asano Nao and Ibuki Yuko, "Have you seen my sister? How do you know what she looks like?"
Chishou Kazumi was surprised. Yes, Nao only knew Yuki a few days before me, and Ibuki knew Yuki after me. How could they know the appearance of my beloved that I didn't know
