The three of them stood awkwardly in the room.
It was Taro who broke the silence first.
"You two chat, I'm going to pack my things first!"
Taro didn't want to be caught in the middle of the two.
He had experienced this kind of situation countless times before.
Each time, he would either get an eye-roll from Yuna or a harsh scolding from Harumizu-sama.
Finally, Harumizu would emphasize, "Taro, are you that idle?"
So, he had long since learned his lesson.
From then on, if there was anything between the two of them, he would avoid getting involved if he could.
Fortunately, the two of them broke up later.
Their relationship returned to normal.
Their communication was limited to "work discussions."
Taro went back to his bedroom and started packing his things.
As he packed, he thought to himself.
In their current state, two things usually happened:
First, the two would have a simple argument, and Yuna-chan would storm out.
Second, Harumizu-sama would get emotional and storm out.
In any case, they would always part ways unhappily, but there would always be a commotion.
But this time, it seemed a little different.
Taro deliberately slowed down his movements in the bedroom, even being a bit stealthy.
Who doesn't have a gossipy heart!
But this time was different from usual.
Kojou Yuna sat huffily near the dining table, deliberately turning her head away, clearly not wanting to deal with that big idiot anymore!
Looking at Yuna-chan's expression, Harumizu felt for the first time that this outwardly cold woman was cute.
He leaned back on the sofa, carefully observing Yuna-chan.
She just sat there.
Her small suit hung loosely on her shoulders, her legs crossed under her short skirt, a pair of long, beautiful legs making it hard to look away at this moment.
Thick black stockings encased her slender leg lines, drawing his gaze down to her wrapped jade feet.
Red-soled high heels dangled lightly from her toes, poised as if about to fall!
Yuna-chan, who should have been a cold and alluring beauty, was now puffing out her cheeks, her brows slightly furrowed.
She looked like a little girl next door whose toy had been snatched, utterly adorable.
Harumizu hadn't expected Yuna-chan to have two such different sides.
But it was a good thing he had the system prompt, so he knew Yuna was unhappy right now.
Otherwise, with his top-tier straight-man mindset, he definitely wouldn't have realized it.
Harumizu looked at her, his eyes softening with a smile.
But he chose not to break the silence.
Instead, he pulled out his phone.
Fujiwara Shunsui: ["Why is Yuna-nee-san unhappy? Your pouting face is so cute! (〃'▽'〃)"]
"Ding—"
Harumizu, sitting on the sofa, had already heard Yuna's message notification.
But clearly, Kojou Yuna wasn't planning on opening her phone.
She wanted to express her emotions.
But she knew that every time she talked about certain things with him, it would lead to unnecessary arguments, which was not what she wanted to see.
It was precisely because she knew she couldn't explain things clearly to Shunsui-kun, that stubborn straight man,
that she chose to sit aside and sulk by herself.
Fujiwara Shunsui: ["Yuna-nee-san's red-soled high heels today are so sexy~ I love them! (*´з)(ε｀*)"]
"Ding—"
Kojou Yuna's brows furrowed even more, but she still had no intention of taking out her phone; her mind was a mess right now.
Harumizu glanced at her, then lowered his head without a word, continuing to compose a message.
Fujiwara Shunsui: ["Ah, how happy I would be if I could see Yuna-chan's peerless face every day ￣ω￣="]
"Who is it?! So annoying!"
The usual Kojou Yuna would never be so flustered; after all, she had many things to deal with, but this constant messaging was truly irritating!
So she muttered in annoyance.
Harumizu had already taken in Kojou Yuna's every move.
He lowered his head, chuckling, while secretly observing Kojou Yuna's state.
He saw Yuna-chan uncross her legs, which had been crossed.
She placed both legs together.
Holding her phone with both hands, her entire body leaned forward, her arms resting on her knees, looking at the content on her phone with a hint of disbelief.
And she secretly glanced at that man.
As luck would have it, her eyes met Fujiwara Shunsui's, who was looking at her with a mischievous grin.
Kojou Yuna was a little incredulous.
This man, who had always been oblivious to her emotional state, was now actually "coaxing" her.
Did sending a few silly messages count as coaxing? It should, right!
Kojou Yuna could only comfort herself this way.
She desperately wished that this man, who was once her closest, would care about her and pay attention to her!
Even if it was only in this way, with this tone.
Kojou Yuna: ["Are you sick?! "]
Although she was very happy inside,
she still had to maintain her cool, using one word, one character, one space to express her displeasure!
Fujiwara Shunsui: ["Yuna-chan~ You're really cute! Don't be angry, tell me what's on your mind!"]
This message exchange completely broke Kojou Yuna's composure.
She actively broke the quiet atmosphere in the living room.
She said with a touch of anger, "Aren't you sick?! I'm right in front of you, why are you sending messages!"
Inside the room, Nissho Taro was pressed tightly against the door, listening to Kojou Yuna's voice outside, thinking, "It's finally starting!"
The smile on Harumizu's face did not diminish.
Instead, his smile grew wider.
He even got up and walked over to Kojou Yuna.
He took her hand and, feigning a playful tone, said,
"Yuna-chan is the prettiest! Don't frown, frowning doesn't look good, and you'll age faster!"
"Who are you calling old?"
Kojou Yuna turned her head away and gently shook off Harumizu's hand.
Harumizu saw an opportunity.
He took Kojou Yuna's hand again, squatted down in front of her, and whispered,
"That kid Taro must be eavesdropping in the room. He probably thinks we're arguing again! Play along and tease him a bit, and you can let off some steam too, okay!"
Hearing Harumizu say that,
Kojou Yuna finally reacted, even stretching out her ears.
That kid Nissho Taro had been in the room for a long time.
He said he was packing his things, but he was an old bachelor, what could he possibly have so much to pack.
Most importantly,
in those few short seconds, Yuna had tried hard to prick up her ears.
She hadn't heard a single sound from inside the room.
After a moment of thought,
a mischievous smile flashed across Yuna's face, and then she nodded at Harumizu!
Immediately, she stood up and loudly chided,
"What exactly do you want?!"
Harumizu was startled at first, then watched as Kojou Yuna, fuming, pointed at him and continued to scold,
"You're thinking of coaxing me now? What were you doing before?!"
"Why didn't you think of coaxing me when you were living with Miyaharuni-nee-san last week?!"
"Why didn't you think of coaxing me when you moved Taro next door to your house?!"
"He's a grown man and needs your protection, so what about me? Aren't you worried about my safety?!"
Kojou Yuna's voice grew louder and louder, and her eyes even reddened slightly.
Even though Harumizu knew in advance that Kojou Yuna was acting now,
he could genuinely feel it.
She was jealous!
