Nino Nakano crossed her arms and sneered, "I see you haven't done anything but stand here giving orders. Why don't you make some contribution?"
"this…"
Yihua's eyes darted around, and she made up an excuse: "Look, my room is too messy. If Hayakawa comes to visit tomorrow and sees my room like this, I'll regret my image as a caring older sister and won't dare to talk to him anymore."
"A caring older sister..."
Nino Nakano said expressionlessly, "When did you start looking like this...?"
"Sanjiu,"
Ichika turned to her quietest younger sister, Miku: "How about letting Hayakawa sleep in your room for one night?"
Miku nodded calmly and said succinctly, "Okay."
"Eh?"
Ichika was slightly taken aback: "So decisive?"
"Ah."
Nakano Miku said softly, "This is to express my gratitude."
It was a return gift for the time he helped me out of a predicament by moving wood during the off-campus training camp.
"That's it."
Ichika breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried that Miku wouldn't agree, but Miku's quick agreement saved her a lot of trouble.
"Then it'll be fine."
Nino nodded, then rolled up her sleeves and turned to walk towards the bathroom.
"Where are you going, Nino?"
Ichika asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Do you still need to say it?"
Nino said sharply, "Of course I'm going to help Yotsuba. Do you want her to be busy with this and that all by herself?"
After saying that, she went straight to the bathroom.
"..."
Ichika stared blankly at Nino's departing figure for a while, then gave a slight bitter smile, a sense of shame welling up in her heart.
Although Nino can be quite harsh with her words, she's actually a very gentle and caring sister who loves her family.
but…
Ichika looked away, recalling the scene when the five sisters went to the temple fair together and happened to run into Hayakawa running towards them at the entrance.
At that moment, a smile bloomed on Yotsuba's face like a flower in full bloom. Joy and sorrow, restraint and repression, love and estrangement all converged in her jewel-like eyes in an instant, as if reflecting the clear lake surface of the sky.
At that time, Yihua was right beside her, witnessing all of this firsthand.
and so…
I'm sorry, Nino.
I still support Yotsuba more.
Chapter 148 Sisters Serving Each Other and the Yellow-Haired Emperor
"Yotsuba, I'm coming... Ah!"
Nino walked into the bathroom and was about to speak when she saw Yotsuba carrying Hayakawa into the bathtub like a corpse. Then she reached out and forcefully pulled off his shirt. Nino gasped and covered her face, but her fingers parted wide, revealing her beautiful eyes blinking inside: "What are you doing!"
"Ninai,"
Four Leaf was startled and immediately stood up, like a child who had done something wrong, and asked in a panic, "What are you doing here?"
"Why is your reaction so strange?"
Nino's face was slightly flushed under the bathroom light. She didn't dare to look in Hayakawa's direction and turned to Yotsuba, saying matter-of-factly, "I'll help you. It's not fair to let you run around here all by yourself. Let's do it together."
"Ah...you don't need two people to take off your clothes, do you?"
Yotsuba felt inexplicably disappointed, but she smiled and said, "I can manage on my own."
"Don't worry about it,"
Nino rolled up her sleeves: "It's more convenient if two people go together."
As she spoke, she stepped forward, turned Hayakawa over in the bathtub so that his face was down, and then turned to Yotsuba: "Even if you take off all your clothes like this, you won't see anything, and you don't need to cover your eyes anymore."
"Ninai,"
Yotsuba Nakano was greatly shocked: "How clever! I never thought of this move."
"Hehe, you can wear it like this later too."
Nino smiled smugly, showing off her intelligence to her least clever sister: "Enough talk, the water's boiled, isn't it?"
Yotsuba nodded quickly: "It's cooked."
"Then hurry up and turn on the water."
As Nino spoke, she added a reminder: "Be careful with the temperature. It's best to keep it slightly warm. A little cool is fine, but if it's too hot, it can burn you."
"I know."
Yotsuba nodded, went to the tap and turned on the water. Then, with a serious expression, she used her arm to feel the water temperature, while carefully adjusting the water temperature with her other arm. It took a full minute before she relaxed and filled the bathtub with water, and she would occasionally put her fingers into the water to feel the temperature while filling the tub.
"..."
Nino Nakano, watching this scene from the side, was somewhat stunned.
Although everyone knows that Yotsuba is a helpful and kind child... is it really that bad?
It seems that Yotsuba and Hayakawa have a better relationship than I thought.
"Wait a minute, Yotsuba, you don't really want to wash Hayakawa, do you?"
Nino was thinking when she saw Yotsuba standing there, holding the shower gel, her pretty face slightly flushed and looking hesitant. She immediately realized what was going on and said incredulously, "That definitely won't work."
"but…"
Yotsuba said somewhat reluctantly, clutching the shower gel in her hand, unwilling to let go.
"A bath is enough, isn't it?"
She stepped forward and snatched the shower gel from Yotsuba's hand, grabbing her shoulders and earnestly saying, "Listen carefully, Yotsuba, you are a 16-year-old girl. There are some things that will give you a sty just by looking at them, let alone touching them."
Yotsuba pursed her lips slightly, turned her head away, and remained silent.
She was a 16-year-old girl, but wasn't Nino also 16? If she didn't do it, Nino might impulsively do it herself.
There's no reason why I can't do what Nino can do.
As Yotsuba thought this, her unique stubbornness began to take over again.
"Hmm... how about this?"
Nino noticed that Yotsuba was about to act stubborn again, so she immediately came up with a plan. She got up and took a beautifully packaged cardboard box from the bathroom cabinet. When she opened it, she found all sorts of colorful, spherical things inside, which emitted a pleasant fragrance.
"These are some high-end bath bombs I recently bought online. They're quite expensive. You can just drop one in when you take a bath and then you don't need shower gel."
Nino pinched one out and looked at Yotsuba helplessly, saying, "Is this okay?"
"...This is acceptable."
Yotsuba breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. In truth, she was completely unwilling to do something like bathing a boy. She had just been stubbornly putting on a brave front, or even putting on a brave front but being weak inside. However, if she left, Nino might bathe Hayakawa herself.
The thought of this made her determined not to leave Hayakawa's side.
"Puff~"
Nino casually tossed the bath bomb into the hot water, and immediately a hissing sound came from it as dense bubbles kept rising from it.
"Is this..."
Yotsuba looked at the bubbling bubbles on the water's surface and instantly thought of what water looks like when it boils. She said expressionlessly, "Is this a heating pad for self-heating instant noodles?"
"No, that's not it! Am I going to boil Hayakawa? I'm using this!"
Nino was so angry that her nose was crooked. She said irritably, then took a bottle of shampoo from the cabinet next to her and said, "It's okay to wash your hair."
Turning her head, Nino saw Yotsuba squeezing some shower gel onto Hayakawa. Some of it stayed on Hayakawa, while some flowed into the water, which seemed quite wasteful.
Nino didn't say anything, it was just a waste of some shower gel. As long as her pure little sister didn't touch Hayakawa's body with her hands, she could accept it.
"Step aside."
Nino rested Hayakawa's head on the edge of the bathtub and said, "I'll wash his hair."
Seeing this, Yotsuba immediately threw away the shower gel: "I'll help!"
"..."
Nino was speechless and said, "Does Hayakawa have two heads? Does he need two people to wash him?"
Four Leaf paused for a moment, then reluctantly lowered her head and said, "I want to help you..."
Nino Nakano immediately softened: "...Okay, you can hold my head up while I'm flushing."
"Ok."
Yotsuba's expression brightened, and she took two wooden stools from the side, handing one to Nino and then sitting down on the other herself.
Nino sat down on the stool with satisfaction, then scooped up some water and poured it on Hayakawa's head. Hayakawa's smooth black hair was immediately soaked, and the strands stuck to her forehead and neck, looking very messy.
"Help me hold his head up."
Nino took a deep breath and said, and Yotsuba quickly did as she was told.
Nino squeezed out some shampoo, rubbed it in her palm, and then carefully massaged it onto Hayakawa's head, making gentle movements to avoid pulling his hair.
Yotsuba reached out and held Hayakawa's head, watching this scene with a strange look in her eyes.
To be honest, she would prefer to do the division of labor that Nino had.
"It's so convenient for guys to wash their hair; it doesn't get tangled when you wash it."
Nino's hands were still trembling a bit, but she calmed down when she saw that Hayakawa was not awake at all and that the shampoo foam was coming out. She joked, "Maybe I can try short hair or something, like Ichika's."
"Nino looks good with any hairstyle."
Yotsuba fawned over the young lady, just like a little maidservant beside her.
"I'm a little hesitant. Cutting it that short all at once is risky. It's not like I'm dyeing my hair; if it doesn't look good, I can just dye it back."
Nino was somewhat tempted, then looked at Hayakawa's hair and her expression changed slightly: "I feel like Hayakawa's hair would look great dyed. What do you think of yellow?"
Chapter 149 Four Leaves…
"yellow…"
Nakano Yotsuba's eyes went blank, and the image of Hayakawa with dyed blonde hair involuntarily appeared in her mind. She immediately shook her head violently: "No... no way! Hayakawa must have black hair."
"Why not? It's so boring to always have the same hair color,"
Nino pouted, looking somewhat longing, and said, "Yellow hair is so cool, doesn't it give off a kind of unruly vibe?"
"It's a bad feeling, isn't it? Is this really okay?"
Yotsuba's face was full of rejection. She felt uncomfortable just thinking about Hayakawa with her head of yellow hair. In her eyes, Hayakawa was always a good student. How could he dye his hair such an indecent color?
"Hmph, you really don't understand anything."
Nino Nakano glanced at it, sighed helplessly, and was at a loss for what to do with her tasteless younger sister.
The two of them fell silent and began to wash Hayakawa's hair carefully. Nino rolled up her sleeves, took the faucet, tested the water temperature, and began to rinse Hayakawa's head full of foam. Yotsuba also rolled up her sleeves high, cupped Hayakawa's head in her hands, and let the water flow down her snow-white forearms.
"..."
Feeling the warm water flowing over her skin, Yotsuba felt a strange sensation.
