Chapter 67 Marking You
The two sat on the bed and stared at each other for a moment. Qingshuijian wanted to calm himself down, so he decided to get up and make the bed.

"Anyway, make the bedding first."

"Um……"

It is almost eleven o'clock in the evening. Although Amamiya Iori will spend the night in Shimizumi's room, there is only a single bed in his room, so someone will have to sleep on the floor tonight.

"Let me help you lay it."

"It's okay, it's just a small matter."

Originally, Shimizu was going to give his bed to Amamiya Iori and sleep on the floor himself, but Amamiya Iori seemed to want to sleep on the floor as well, so he also spread out Amamiya Iori's quilt.

"Then I turn off the lights?"

"Ah."

"..."

They both lay down in bed, and Qingshuijian then turned off the lights.

The feeling of having someone around like this was fresh to Qingshui Jian. The sound of the quilt rubbing against each other was still lingering in his ears, and even the sound of the second hand of the clock made Qingshui Jian unable to concentrate.

(breathe……)
In order to relax, Shimizu took deep breaths.

Just in this situation, a breath of warmth and moisture gently caressed his ear.

"Honey, squeeze in a little more~~"

Amemiya Iori leaned sideways and crawled into the remaining space in Shimizu's quilt.

Shimizu realized this and turned around, and ended up meeting Amamiya Iori's eyes. In front of him was Amamiya Iori's face, so close that even in the dim light he could count her long eyelashes.

"Iori."

"What is it, dear?"

"Don't you feel crowded?"

"Dear, are you asking me to get out?"

The pair of azure eyes in front of me were as beautiful as gemstones, and they looked a little moist...

"..."

Qing Shui saw that everyone was silent, and finally sighed helplessly.

How could Amamiya Iori not know that such a reaction meant that Shimizu agreed.

"That's so nice, dear... I like you, very, very much."

Amemiya Iori snuggled up to him and rubbed her face against Shimizu's chest, making him smile bitterly.

He should have thought that without the constraints of his character, Amamiya Iori would lose control of himself and become like this.

"You've become really spoiled."

"I will only do this to my dear. And...I will mark my existence on my dear!"

"Mark? But you're not a dog."

"If my dear wishes, I can become a dog, okay? Woof~"

"..."

Oops, it feels like a strange door is about to open.

Moreover, Amamiya Iori's sensitivity at this time was almost pathological. She could accurately sense the inner fluctuations of Shimizumi, or in other words, she could sense the slight changes in Shimizumi's heart.

In other words, Amamiya Iori noticed that Shimizu was moved by the scene where she imitated a dog's barking just now.

She captured the emotional fluctuations at that moment without missing a thing. She gave a charming smile and did not expose him directly. Instead, she imitated the cat's posture and raised her hands in front of her.

"Or do you prefer cats, dear? Meow~"

Hearing this question, Qing Shuijian couldn't help but think seriously.

He is neither a cat person nor a dog person. To him, neither cat nor dog is better, and he thinks both are very cute animals.

The most important thing is that Amamiya Iori is already cute enough, especially when she does such imitations and actions, as a man, there must be something unbearable somewhere.

Amamiya Iori looked at Shimizu in a teasing manner while lying on all fours, which made him suddenly want to play a prank on her. With the idea of ​​teasing her, Shimizu couldn't help but stroke her chin.

"So good, so good."

Just like what people often do to cats, Shimizu stroked Amemiya Iori's chin.

"(Excited)! ... Gurgle Gurgle"

With his eyes lightly closed and a look of delight on his face, Amamiya Iori made the purring sound that only cats make when they are excited.

Are you really a cat?

Amemiya Iori was probably tired today. After playing with Shimizu Mizuki for a while, he became silent and must have fallen asleep.

The only sound in the room was the vibration of the heater. There was no sound of running cars outside, and no snoring from Akiko Hoshino next door.

In such an environment, Shimizu soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

It is half past twelve and Amamiya Iori is still not asleep.

Because she kept looking at the profile of Shimizumi, who was breathing regularly.

From eleven o'clock, after Shimizu fell asleep, Amemiya Iori stared at him motionlessly.

Although her eyes were still blinking, Amamiya Iori was so fascinated by Shimizu Miki's sleeping face.

Staring at the defenseless Shimizu like this, his face would involuntarily move closer.

"You were able to find me, meet me, and help me... I'm really grateful!"

These are what Amamiya Iori really said.

The bond formed with Shimizu Mi in the past will surely continue into the future. This everlasting feeling belongs only to Shimizu Mi.

Amemiya Iori slowly leaned down and kissed Shimizumi's cheek with a gentle "chi" sound.

"My dear, I have said this so many times. It is so great to meet you... I am so happy to have met you."

Being beside Shimizu, feeling his warmth and scent, Amamiya Iori was enveloped in happiness.

In this happiness, Amamiya Iori remembered something.

"The person in that photo looks exactly like dear. After all, they are biological son...but I think I've seen someone who looks very similar to dear's father."

Looking like Shimizu is not something you see everywhere.

In fact, before this, Amemiya Iori had seen a photo of his father in Shimizu's room.

But in fact, even earlier...she seemed to have seen that person once, but unfortunately, she still couldn't remember it.

After thinking for a while, Amamiya Iori finally didn't remember anything and put the thought aside for the time being.

Listening to Shimizumi's breathing, Amemiya Iori snuggled up to the sleeping Shimizumi, but even so did not wake him up.

So, Amemiya Iori moved closer to his body, as if she wanted to feel Shimizumi with her whole body.

"I was able to sleep better today than usual. It's really happy to be with the one I love."

She began to feel sleepy, and because she felt she could fall asleep more comfortably than usual, Amamiya Iori also fell asleep along with Shimizu Mi.

Oh, speaking of that time...why did mom mention Aunt Qiuzi? It was obvious that they had never met each other.

Iori Amamiya recalled what Midori Amamiya had said: "At that time I thought he was a nasty child. Since he had a "mother like that", it was natural that he did not receive a good education."
