Let's first look through the peephole to see who is outside the door...
Standing on tiptoe, Toyokawa Shoko's light golden eyes were fixed on the cat's eyes. The plexiglass buttons on the chest of the beige dress gently touched the old security door with some paint peeling off. In the silent room, the crisp collision sound could be heard.
"Xiaoxiang, are you home?"
Toyokawa Shoko looked through the cat's eye and immediately saw Sanjiao Chuhua wearing a hat and smiling sweetly.
"Chu, Chuhua? It's so late...what are you doing?"
After confirming that it was indeed Triangle Chuhua in the cat's eye, a huge question mark immediately appeared above the head of the extremely surprised Toyokawa Shoko.
It’s so late... As an idol, it’s definitely not good to run around outside, right?
"No, because I moved here recently...I thought I'd visit Xiaoxiang first."
Move, move here! ?
Suddenly, Sanjiao Chuhua's inexplicable answer shocked Toyokawa Shoko.
...Living here is not convenient no matter how you think about it, right? Obviously, the city is more convenient for going to school and work?
However, although she didn't understand why Sanjiao Chuhua did this, since he was someone she was familiar with, Toyokawa Shoko just sighed, didn't say much, and gently opened the door.
“…Xiao Xiang!”
Seeing Toyokawa Shoko finally open the door, Sankaku Hatsuka finally breathed a sigh of relief and spoke with great joy.
"You scared me... I thought it was someone else, Chuhua, then come in?"
Looking at Sanjiao Chuhua who was obviously happy for some reason in front of her, Toyokawa Shoko was also infected by this pure happiness. She couldn't help but smile and gently moved away.
Well... I had been wondering what kind of person would suddenly live in the room between me and Xin, but I didn't expect it to be Chuhua... What a pleasant surprise.
"Well... excuse me for bothering you then."
With the smile on his face, Sanjiao Chuhua followed the path made by Toyokawa Shoko and walked into the room.
"…I thought it would be easier to communicate with Xiaoxiang if I lived closer to him, so I moved here…Xiaoxiang, is that okay?"
Sanjiao Chuhua gently raised her hand and tucked her golden hair behind her ears. Her violet eyes were shining, and she was obviously in a good mood.
"No way... As long as Chuhua is willing to come, I would certainly welcome you."
After closing the door behind her, Toyokawa Shoko breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was someone I knew... After all, it would be a bit too scary to have the door suddenly knocked at night.
In that case, I have to say hello to Xin and not let him get too anxious.
Thinking of this, Toyokawa Shoko slowly took out her cell phone and typed slowly with her two little hands.
[It's Chuhua, I'm so relieved. 】
[Xin, don't worry about me. ]
【But please come back early. 】
At this point, Toyokawa Shoko's hand suddenly stopped again... If you look at the chat page on your phone, you can probably still find out the reason.
【I miss you a little bit. 】
This sentence remained in the chat box, and there was still no movement to send it out.
...I'm so embarrassed. It's better not to send it out.
Thinking of this, Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips and slowly put the phone back into her pocket.
But... I do miss Xin a little bit, and this feeling of missing him is not false.
"...Qian Chuhua, would you like something to drink?"
Shaking her head to get rid of the slightly greedy possessive thoughts in her mind, Toyokawa Shoko spoke softly.
However, Sanjiao Chuhua just shook his head gently and replied with a smile: "Hot water will be fine... My throat has been a little uncomfortable recently."
Of course it felt uncomfortable...it was definitely due to the stomach acid, although it wasn't serious.
"...By the way, Xiaoxiang, where is Xin-san?"
As if he suddenly remembered something, Triangle Chuhua's eyes turned slightly, and he asked casually as if he was not thinking.
I...had already done special training before coming here - staying in the room, burying my head in the quilt, and repeating his name all the time...this way I could be desensitized.
Huh... I don't know how many times I read it, but after finishing it, I finally felt a little relieved.
There were also videos and stuff, and [that person] was actually doing road shows and stuff... I watched them so many times before I calmed down a little.
If I were to meet him now, things would definitely not be the same as before!
Sanjiao Chuhua, who was so confident, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Is someone calling me?"
Suddenly, a voice as familiar as Nakagawa Nobuyuki's came floating in from outside the door along with the sound of a key turning.

Chapter 255: A way to make Miss Chuhua feel at ease...
"Is someone calling me?"
Toyokawa Shoko was just about to reply to Sankaku Hatsuhua when she suddenly heard Nakagawa Nobuyuki's voice. Her originally slightly frowned brows were suddenly filled with surprise.
It just so happened that Xiaoxiang was standing at the door waiting for the hot water in the kettle to boil. He only needed to take two steps and he would be at the entrance.
Click.
The door was opened gently.
"letter!"
All of a sudden, Toyokawa Shoko was so happy that she almost rushed into Nakagawa Nobuyuki's arms.
"Well, I'm back - by the way, what are you doing here now, Triangle-san?"
Nakagawa Nobuyuki originally wanted to take off his coat out of habit, but when he saw the empty bookcase on Toyokawa Shoko's side, he suddenly realized...it turned out that this was not his side.
There's nothing we can do about it, since the two sides look so similar, even the layout is exactly the same.
"...Xin-san, I will move here from today on. Please give me your guidance in the future..."
Sanjiao Chuhua, who was called, naturally stood up, bowed gently to Zhonghe Xin, and greeted him in a very formal way with a pale face.
The only thing that's a bit strange is probably that they just started calling me by my name + my title, right?
However, although he felt a little strange in his heart, Nakagawa Nobuya did not care too much about it. He just regarded it as a normal change of address after they became a little familiar with each other.
"Oh... Then you are very welcome to come, Chuhua. If you have any problems with electrical appliances or how to repair them, just come to me. There are many problems with this old house."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki smiled friendly at Sanjiao Chuhua in front of him, and did not take the initiative to ask why he suddenly moved here.
If Miss Chuhua wanted to tell me, then she would naturally speak up. If Miss Chuhua had other plans, even if she spoke up, she might not tell me the reason behind it.
"...Well, I'll trouble you, Xin, when the time comes."
However, it is impossible that Sanjiao Chuhua suddenly changed her address to Xin classmate because they became familiar with each other. At least Miss Chuhua believed that her rejection reaction to Xin classmate was much smaller than that to Nakagawa classmate.
Miss Chu Hua invented her own desensitization method.
Miss Chuhua has just tried it in her room. She just buried her head in the quilt and repeated the name of "Xin-san" countless times, so that her body could slowly get used to it.
"So they moved to the next door? The one in the middle?"
At this time, Xiangzi, who was pouring hot water into a cup, seemed to remember something, blinked his eyes, and spoke softly.
...Didn’t the landlord say that the room in the middle was rented out? Was it rented to Chuhua?
At this moment, Yutenji Wakumaki's so-called "joke" suddenly appeared in Toyokawa Shoko's mind.
...Could it be that Chuhua really has some other thoughts about Xin?
With her brows slightly drooped, Toyokawa Shoko, who was pouring hot water into a cup, began to recall what had happened during this period.
...Chuhua was originally very normal, but started to become a little strange when he met Xin.
Not only are they behaving strangely, but now they've even moved right here...
Suspicious, quite suspicious indeed.
Could it be that what Miss Meow Meng said is true?
Just as Toyokawa Shoko was thinking absentmindedly, suddenly, she felt as if her palm was restrained by something and was gently flattened.
"The hot water is almost overflowing. Don't be distracted at a time like this."
After seeing Toyokawa Shoko's hand holding the kettle stop, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, with a slightly frown, reached out and took the kettle steadily from Toyokawa Shoko's hand.
"Sleepy?"
Looking at Toyokawa Shoko who was still a little dazed in front of him, Nakagawa Nobuyuki asked in a soft voice with a rather strange look.
"No, I'm just thinking about something."
Shaking her head, Toyokawa Shoko glanced at the steaming kettle in Nakagawa Nobuyuki's hand with some fear, and answered softly.
"Be careful...it would be bad if you get burned."
Having said that, Nakagawa Nobuyuki naturally would not let Toyokawa Shoko hold the kettle, and immediately took the cup that was 90% full of hot water.
Although it is not extremely hot, if it is poured on your hands suddenly, you will definitely get burned.
"Chuhua, it should be okay if you pour it a little fuller, right?"
Holding the warm paper cup in his hand, Nakagawa Nobuyuki carefully turned around and slowly walked towards Sanjiao Chuhua not far away.
Sanjiao Chuhua swallowed slightly. As Zhonghe Xin got closer, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
The light was gently obscured by Nakagawa Nobuyuki's body.
Hey.
The sound of the bottom of the cup hitting the table was crisp and particularly noticeable to Sanjiao Chuhua's ears.
"……Thanks."
Taking a deep breath, Chuhua tightly pinched the triangle edge of her straight skirt and whispered thank you.
"You don't have to be so polite... After all, we'll be teammates, neighbors, and of course friends in the band."
Taking Sankaku Hatsuka's look in front of him as being reserved, Nakagawa Nobuyuki gave a rather friendly smile.
After putting the cup of water down steadily, Nakagawa Nobuyuki slowly stood up, and the light of the fluorescent light shone on Sanjiao Chuhua's relieved face again.
"...Of course."
I did it... I did it myself...
Sure enough, as long as I interact with him more, I can slowly get used to this nervous feeling.
Still somewhat incredulous, Sanjiao Chuhua picked up the water cup in front of him, feeling the moist smell of the slowly wafting water vapor, and a faint smile of realization appeared on the corner of his mouth.
My own [desensitization] method is indeed effective.
Not only did I lock myself in bed, repeating his name over and over again, but I also kept thinking about him in my mind...
Only after finishing all these did I finally feel at ease.
"..."
However, in the eyes of Toyokawa Shoko who was not far away, all this had a different meaning.
She was clearly a little hesitant just now, but why did Chuhua suddenly smile with ease as soon as she saw the letter... and took the cup of water handed to her?
...That's impossible. After all, idols must have a dating ban, right?
Besides... I also believe in Chuhua and she would never do anything to betray me... Chuhua knows that I am living with Xin.
...Slow down, wait!
Chuhua, how did you know that I lived in the room at the end? Clearly, the place I went to with Chuhua that day was Xin's room.
Her lips moved slightly twice, and the doubt in Toyokawa Shoko's heart surged up again.
