He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

After hearing Enka Higuchi say that she had some insomnia, Enka Higuchi's mother immediately showed a surprised expression:

"I thought you would be able to sleep more soundly with Sage-kun here."

"...That's nothing."

Higuchi Enka looked at his mother with a speechless expression.

"Is it possible that where did he produce the sleeping aromatherapy?"

"That's not what it means."

Higuchi Enka’s mother smiled and shook her head:

"For more than a year, haven't you always been concerned about his affairs? Now that we have met, you should feel more at ease, right?"

After hearing this, Higuchi Enka's expression suddenly froze:

"Since when did I care about him?"

"Eh? Isn't it? Then why don't you come out of the room and eavesdrop every time Xian Renjun and I are on the phone?"

"...I just came out to drink water by chance."

"Do you believe this reason yourself?"

"…………"

"Well... forget it if you don't admit it, you are such an awkward kid."

Seeing the wavering look in Higuchi Enka's eyes, Higuchi Enka's mother sighed helplessly.

"Since you didn't sleep well last night, go and rest quickly... By the way, what's the bag in your hand?"

"Bread...Watanabe insisted on me bringing it back."

Higuchi Enka said as he handed the bag in his hand to his mother.

"I ate it this morning, it was really good."

"Oh, it turns out you went to have bread together for breakfast, which was good."

"…………"

"One, two, three, four, five, six... I bought so many."

Higuchi Enka's mother said as she took out two pieces from the bag.

"Then, dad and I will keep these two pieces, and you can take the rest back to your room and eat it with Tohru."

"……through?"

Higuchi Enka was stunned when he heard this.

"Is she in my room now?"

"Yes, I came here this morning and said I had something to tell you."

Higuchi Enka’s mother nodded and said:

"It must be something important, right? After all, I came to see you last night. Because I didn't know when you would come back, I asked her to go to your room and wait for you."

"..."

Higuchi Enka didn't say anything more after hearing this. She hurriedly put on slippers without even putting her shoes in the shoe cabinet, and then went to the bathroom without looking back.

He quickly ran towards his room.

.......................................

There is no need to think too much about the reason why Asakura came back to find her, it must be because of Watanabe's incident.

But she came just in time, as she also had many questions she wanted to ask Asakura.

Why did she leave Watanabe? What conditions did the big company offer? Does she know how much impact her departure had on Watanabe...

With chaotic thoughts, Higuchi Enka pushed open the door of her room very hard——

"...Ah, you're back, Higuchi."

"..."

Looking at the childhood sweetheart who was lying leisurely on his bed and playing with his mobile phone, the anxiety in Higuchi Enka's heart suddenly stopped.

"You guys... are too laid-back."

"Sorry, I didn't sleep well last night, so I couldn't help but lie down for a while."

The phenomenal idol, who is so popular right now that just posting a photo can attract tens of thousands of reposts, is rubbing his eyes while struggling to raise his upper body from the bed.

"I almost fell asleep just now..."

"You man."

It felt like a punch hitting cotton.

"You obviously want to come here to talk about business, right? At least give me a little attitude."

"Well...that's what I say, but I can't help but relax when I come here."

Asakura Toru said, patting the place next to him.

"Now, sit here and talk."

"Let me tell you... the topic we are going to talk about next should be quite serious..."

"So you have to stand and talk? You're obviously tired from taking the train, right?"

"...I can't say no to you."

Higuchi Enka could only complain while sitting next to Asakura Toru.

At this time, Toru Asakura also saw the paper bag that Higuchi Enka casually placed on the desk——

"Ah, that bread...can I have one?"

Toru Asakura asked:

"I haven't had it in more than a year, so I miss it a little bit."

"...Take it."

"grateful."

Toru Asakura leaned out towards the desk and barely touched the paper bag with great effort.

Seeing Toru Asakura's extremely unsightly movements, Higuchi Enka couldn't help but complain:

"Hey, your belly is exposed, you're an active idol."

"It's okay to be seen by you anyway."

Asakura Toru held the bag in his arms and took out a piece.

"As expected, it's this one, with cream and fruit filling."

Just like that, Asakura muttered "I miss it so much", while holding the part with the wrapping paper, he put the bread into his mouth.

"………………Hey, Higuchi."

"kindness?"

"What do you think this bread tastes like?"

"...the regular ones are delicious."

"that's true."

After getting rid of the bread in his hands in a few seconds, Toru Asakura did not take out the second piece, but hugged the paper bag in his arms and started to freeze.

Looking at her dull look, Higuchi Enka couldn't help but sigh.

"Remember Watanabe?"

"kindness."

Toru Asakura admitted without hesitation.

"Last night I dreamed that he took me to that store, and I happened to buy this one."

"It's really unabashed."

Higuchi Enka looked at Asakura Toru's face and continued:

"Unlike Watanabe, I have always been able to see you in the past year and a half, so I understand that your feelings for Watanabe have not changed much from before, or..."

Higuchi Enka glanced at the paper bag in Asakura Toru's arms.

“Maybe it’s become even stronger than before.”

"It won't change, from when I was a child until now..."

Toru Asakura said in a slow and smooth tone:

"I have always liked wise people the most."

"So... it's because of this that I don't understand what happened between you two?"

Higuchi Enka's tone became a little more serious.

"You should know, right? How much does Watanabe value you and that firm? If you really like him, why did you leave him? Do you know what he has become now?"

"……do not know."

Faced with Higuchi Enka's question, Asakura Toru just shook his head gently:

"That's why I wanted to ask you."

"you……"

Toru Asakura's light answer made Higuchi Enka not know what to say for a moment.

This unreflective reaction made her seriously doubt Asakura Toru's feelings for Watanabe Kento.

"Since you are so angry...it means Xianren's situation is not very good."

Looking at Higuchi Enka's vaguely angry expression, Asakura showed a slightly lonely smile.

"That's not okay...I obviously chose to leave in order to keep him going. Wouldn't everything be in vain..."

"In order to keep him going?"

Higuchi Enka did not understand the meaning of Asakura Toru's words.

"Obviously it was because of your departure that Watanabe couldn't continue his activities for a whole year and a half, right?"

"So...you finally started to think about what's going on between us.

Are you interested, Higuchi? "

Seeing Higuchi Enka's confused expression, an extremely difficult smile appeared on Asakura's face.

"Obviously I have been indifferent until now."

"..."

Higuchi Enka did not answer, but just stared at Asakura quietly, waiting for the other party to answer his question.

However, Toru Asakura was not affected by Higuchi Enka's oppressive gaze at all, and continued to speak in her smooth voice:

"What is the reason for you to ask this question out of character? Is it because you feel sorry for the wise man's experience, is it out of dissatisfaction with me, or is it just out of curiosity?"

Higuchi Enka frowned and replied:

"Is this reason very important?"

"It's very important, because it determines whether I will answer your question or not."

Toru Asakura looked back at those straight eyes without giving in.

"If you are just out of obligation as a childhood sweetheart, or simply curious, then I won't say anything."

"........."

This question immediately stopped Higuchi Enka.
