Chapter 189 But He Likes Big

"Well, I just randomly picked it."

"What a coincidence."

"…Huh? Could it be that Iori-nee is also like that?"

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun was like gentle fingertips, tapping on the way home from school. Amamiya Iori and Shimizu Reina walked side by side on the road and talked.

Not long ago, when Rena Shimizu was packing her schoolbag in the classroom to go home, she received a sudden invitation from Amamiya Iori.

The next place they were going to was Amamiya Iori's home.

Amemiya Iori invited Shimizu Reina to her house for dinner tonight.

"What's wrong? It looks like Reina-chan isn't too happy about being in a group with me."

Shimizu Reina waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I am really satisfied to be assigned to the same group with Sister Iori."

"Reina-sister, at a time like this, you shouldn't say "satisfied", but "I'm lucky", right?"

“Huh?! Is that so?”

"Forget it, forget it. This is also what makes Reina-chan so cute."

"cute……"

As she spoke, Reina Shimizu stared at the road, her pace unconsciously slowed down, and she looked a little depressed.

"What's wrong? Reina-chan, don't you like people calling you cute?"

"Although it's nice to be praised, but..."

"but what?"

Shimizu Reina opened her mouth slightly and seemed to want to say something for a moment, but immediately swallowed it back into her mouth along with the air.

Amamiya Iori said again: "Sister Reina, if you don't say something yourself, others will never know it."

"Well……"

Then, Shimizu Reina hesitated for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Amamiya Iori.

"It's nice to be called cute, but rather than being cute, I want to be like Iori-nee-san..."

"like me?"

"……Um."

Shimizu Reina nodded slightly, her eyes still fixed on Amamiya Iori in front of her.

The two of them were silent for a while as they walked in unison, and then Amamiya Iori's gaze slowly moved downwards towards Shimizu Rena.

“It’s cute even though it’s small.”

Amemiya Iori's feather-soft voice floated gently in Shimizu Rena's ears.

“…Ah?! No, that’s not what I meant!?”

Reina Shimizu suddenly became a little flustered, and hurriedly waved her hands in front of her and shook her head repeatedly.

"Hey, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I was just joking, Reina-chan shouldn't react so strongly."

"Um... please, please don't joke about this."

Shimizu Reina looked at the pair of plump breasts that swayed gently with Amamiya Iori's laughter, and then looked down at her own...

For some reason, a strange feeling of shame grew and spread from the bottom of my heart.

Well, actually I am somewhat envious.

"Okay, okay, I know what Reina-chan means. You probably want to be more mature like me rather than cute."

Although Amamiya Iori does not think that she is very mature, there is indeed a subtle difference between her and Shimizu Rena.

"Um……"

At this moment, the red light on the sidewalk not far ahead came on, and Rena Shimizu stopped immediately.

"But why would Reina-chan want to become mature?"

Amemiya Iori asked while looking at Shimizu Rena's thoughtful profile.

"because……"

"Because dear would like it?"

Amemiya Iori originally thought that Shimizu Reina would deny it hastily like she did just now, but unexpectedly she just nodded slightly.

"..."

Then, Shimizu Reina seemed to be a beat slow to come back to her senses.

"Oh no, that's not what I meant...just now that was..."

"Reina-sister's face has turned red."

Reina Shimizu let out a small scream and put her hands on her cheeks.

It's really hot.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it, after all, Amamiya Iori suddenly mentioned Shimizu without any warning.

After a while, the green light for traffic came on, and Amamiya Iori started walking forward again, but found that Shimizu Rena was still standing there in a daze.

"Reina-chan is feeling down today, maybe because she wasn't able to be in the same group with my dear on the school trip."

"…Um, what do you think, Iori-nee-san?"

"Me? I really want to be in the same group with you, but since I didn't get the chance to draw a lottery, there's nothing I can do about it. But it's also great to be in the same group with Reina-chan."

"No, I mean, if my brother says that Iori-nee-san is cute, what would Iori-nee-san think?"

"Are you talking about this? But I don't care. As long as my dear praises me, I will be happy no matter what he says."

After saying this, Amamiya Iori suddenly had a bold idea in her mind - maybe even if Shimizu scolded her, she would feel very happy.

Maybe I have a bit of masochistic tendencies.

Amemiya Iori realized this and secretly decided in her heart that she must try that kind of play with Shimizu next time.

The two of them started walking again, continuing to walk towards Amamiya Iori's house. After entering a residential area, the traffic nearby decreased and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

"Sister Reina, in fact, dears may not necessarily prefer more mature girls. I think cuteness is the charm of most girls."

"........."

Shimizu Reina secretly looked at Amamiya Iori, and Amamiya Iori just happened to look over here.

The two of them happened to meet each other's eyes. Rena Shimizu pinched the hem of her skirt with her hands, which were at a loss as to where to put them. Even though there was nothing in her hands, she wiped her uniform with her palms.

"........."

Amamiya Iori did not rush to answer Shimizu Reina, but first reached out and took Shimizu Reina's right hand, which had nowhere to put, and then slowly spoke:

"Reina, can I take what you just said as jealousy?"

From a long time ago, Amamiya Iori had been joking with Shimizu Reina.

But her expression now is serious.

Jealousy can also mean envy.

Among men and women who are in a normal relationship, when one of them has overly close contact with other members of the opposite sex, they will feel uneasy or jealous.

If the other person is jealous but the other person is not, it means that you have special feelings for the other person that go beyond an ordinary relationship.

Of course, jealousy can also be seen as an externalization of emotion, indicating that the jealous party deep down desires to establish a closer relationship with the other party.

But Shimizu Rena and Shimizu Miki are not in a relationship, and secondly, they are not jealous of Amamiya Iori.

So, Shimizu Reina subconsciously wanted to deny it, but she couldn't speak for some reason when she looked into the eyes of Amamiya Iori. Even when she wanted to wave her hand to deny it, her hand was caught by Amamiya Iori. "It's useless, because... Reina's expression has already revealed everything." Amamiya Iori gently stroked Shimizu Reina's head with his other hand.

At this point, Shimizu Rena didn't dare to look at Amamiya Iori again. Although her lowered gaze happened to fall on that pair of plump breasts, making her feel a little embarrassed, she still didn't have the courage to raise her head.

"My house is just in front, do you want to come and sit down?"

"Um……"

Shimizu Reina lowered her head and nodded slightly.

.........

.........

After that, Rena Shimizu arrived at Amemiya Iori's house. Unlike her own apartment, Amemiya Iori's house was a magnificent single-family house.

Come to think of it, this was Rena Shimizu's first time visiting Amemiya Iori's house.

"Sister Reina, you're welcome, come in."

"Um...excuse me."

At the urging of Amamiya Iori, Shimizu Reina walked into the house.

I took off my shoes at the entrance and put on new slippers that Amamiya Iori took out from the shoe cabinet.

"Sister Reina, would you like something to drink?"

Amemiya Iori walked into the kitchen and opened the insulation layer of the refrigerator. Since Shimizu Reina said it was okay, she took out a box of fresh milk and poured it into a glass.

Then, Amemiya Iori poured himself a glass of orange juice and brought them both to the coffee table in the living room.

"I'm sorry, Iori-nee, for causing you trouble..."

"It doesn't matter. My mother isn't home tonight anyway, and I'm a bit bored being alone."

Iori Amamiya picked up the cup of orange juice and took a sip. The cold feeling passed through her throat, bringing a refreshing coolness that felt very comfortable.

While Amamiya Iori was drinking juice, Shimizu Reina's eyes fell on her from time to time.

"Come to think of it, Reina-chan hasn't been visiting dear that much lately."

In the past, Rena Shimizu would come to the class to have lunch with Miki Shimizu almost every day during the lunch break.

But recently, Amamiya Iori found that Shimizu Reina seemed to have rarely come.

"...Well, because the final exam is coming soon."

Although the school trip is held before the summer vacation, the final exams of the semester will be held right after that, so most students are taking the time to review and prepare for the upcoming exams.

“Is it really because of this?”

"..."

Shimizu Reina just lowered her head and said nothing.

…………

"But sister Reina, you should know that a girl's charm is not just about her figure. What's important is her inner qualities and her consideration for the other person."

"A thought for the other person?"

"That's right, what Aunt Qiuzi said at that time really made sense."

"Aunt Qiuzi...is my brother's mother?"

"Well, after Aunt Qiuzi told me that night, I thought a lot about it, and I think what Aunt Qiuzi said does make sense."

Rena Shimizu didn't know what Hoshino Akiko had said, so she looked a little confused.

"The enemy must be defeated, but the most important thing is to capture his heart first."

Amemiya Iori leaned over and said this in Shimizu Reina's ear.

“…Enemy?!”

When Rena Shimizu heard the word "enemy", a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

"Oh, of course I'm not talking about you, Reina-chan."

Amemiya Iori smiled and gently stroked Shimizu Reina's shoulder.

This time, Shimizu Reina breathed a sigh of relief, and then Amamiya Iori immediately made the atmosphere tense again.

"But the enemy does exist."

There was an unquestionable firmness in Amamiya Iori's voice.

"…Iori-sister, what did the enemy say?"

"Sister Reina may not know this yet, but dear has been running to the hospital these days."

"Hospital?"

"Hasn't my brother's injury recovered? Why do you still need to go...ah!"

In an instant, Rena Shimizu thought of a certain person.

"…Is it that big sister?"

Shimizu Reina was still a little unsure, but Amamiya Iori gave her the affirmation.

"Yes, dear, recently I go to the hospital to visit her every day after school."

"...That's it."

"That's not the reaction of 'Is that so', Reina-chan, you should have other ideas, right?"

"Eh, but..."

Shimizu Reina hesitated to speak, but Amamiya Iori understood what she wanted to say and continued:
"Of course I also know that it is my dear's own freedom, and the other party saved my dear when his life was in danger..."

In fact, before this, Amemiya Iori had always blamed herself for not being by Shimizu Mi at that time, but Sakurai Haruka rushed forward to save Shimizu Mi without hesitation, regardless of the danger to her own life. If it weren't for Sakurai Haruka, perhaps Shimizu Mi would have left this world and left her forever.

Without Shimizumi's gloomy world, Amamiya Iori could not imagine such a colorless world at all, nor would she have the desire to continue living.

So Amamiya Iori is actually grateful to Sakurai Haruka from the bottom of her heart, and help or dedication like this involving life safety cannot be repaid simply by words or actions.

But because of this, Amamiya Iori also realized something extremely important.

Although she had vaguely sensed that Sakurai Haruka might have some special feelings for Shimizu Mi, she might have always underestimated the other party's feelings.

Originally, Amamiya Iori just thought that Sakurai Haruka was like those little girls in school, who were simply attracted by Shimizu Miki's outstanding appearance and had a crush on him.

There are actually many "enemies" like this in the school, but Amamiya Iori never pays too much attention to them, because Shimizu Mi is not the kind of superficial person who would be attracted by simple female beauty, and Amamiya Iori himself has absolute confidence that he can "defeat" them.

However, this car accident made Amamiya Iori realize that Sakurai Haruka was very different from those ordinary girls.

Although Sakurai Haruka, as a woman, is at the top of the class in terms of figure and appearance, the most important thing is her feelings for Shimizu Mi.

That's right, through this accident, Amemiya Iori discovered that Sakurai Haruka's feelings for Shimizu Mi were much deeper than she had previously thought.

At that time, Sakurai Haruka didn't care about her own life or death, and she probably didn't even think about her own life. She just rushed forward, wanting to save Shimizu.

Be it the appearance, figure or the feelings, nothing is missing.

It was precisely because the other party was such a woman that Amamiya Iori felt a real sense of crisis for the first time.

And, the most important thing is that Amamiya Iori can feel a similar aura from the other person that is extremely similar to his own.
