Awakening

After coming out from Sasako’s apartment, Lei Yin said to the girl, who has been quiet all this time: “Kazumi, how about we go to my place, there is something I want to tell you.”

Kazumi nodded her head.

Looking at Kazumi slowly coming out of the bathroom wearing his long robe, who was obviously too long for her, Lei Yin could not help but smile.

Seeing the undisguised smile on her brother’s face, Kazumi cannot help but blush. She knew how odd she looks right now, but there were no woman’s clothes that she can use, so she can only wear his clothes.

Because he very rarely saw this cool and savvy young girl showed this much embarrassment, Lei Yin wanted to savor the moment even more.

Lei Yin smiled, picked up a cup of hot milk on the table and gave it to her.

Kazumi reached out her hands to receive it, and after slowly took a few sips, gently breathed out a sigh. Only then did she really feel settled down.

Tonight, she saw a phenomenon that was beyond her imagination and overturned her common sense. But she also heard a shocking conversation that made her confused. If not for, after bathing in a hot water, the residual feeling of hot water still in her veins, she even thought that she was in a dream.

After she drank the milk, Lei Yin said in a deep voice: “Kazumi, I believe you have heard what that woman said in my conversation with her.”

Kazumi looked up at him and then nodded.

Lei Yin knew that he can no longer keep the secret from her. However, what secret he need to tell her and how much, those were the things that gave him a headache.

Kazumi quietly watched him for a moment, and then asked: “Who are you?”

Lei Yin wryly smiled, No wonder she’s the top honor student in her class, her first question is already pointing straight at the core problem.

This question seemed very simple, but for him, it is one of the most complicated issues.

If he tells her the same set of rhetoric answer like what he said to Sasako, perhaps he can deceive those who haven’t had a deep contact with him. But it cannot possibly make Kazumi, who has lived together with “Hirota Masashi” for more than ten years, believe. Moreover, subjectively, he did not want to lie to her.

But he also cannot tell her the truth about his rebirth to this body. Not because he is afraid that she would leak it, but because this would involve a more complex issue than the first answer.

Looking at him frowning like he was pondering something for a long time and has yet to answer her, Kazumi suddenly laughed silently.

She gently hugged him, and her soft body fell on his arms. And then, after putting her head on his shoulder, Kazumi tenderly said: “Brother, don’t answer that, you really don’t need to.”

For her thoughtfulness, Lei Yin did not know what to say. After a while, he sighed and said: “Some of the facts are difficult for me to explain them to you, but I don’t want to lie to you. I am really sorry.”

Slightly shaking her head, Kazumi whispered: “Although I don’t know who you are, I know you are definitely not Hirota Masashi. Because it is impossible for Hirota Masashi to be fluent in two foreign languages, as well proficient in Kendo. He would not be so gently taking care of my feelings, and will not take such a big risk in order to save me. Actually, I have known all of these, but I have always been afraid to ask because I am afraid that all of these will change.

To me, brother is the most important person in my life. I really do not want to know who you are, as long as I can stay by your side, can I?”

Feeling the girl’s warm temperature, Lei Yin hugged her and said in a gentle voice: “Fine, as long as you don’t mind me annoying you.”

Hearing this answer was the exact same answer he said at the junior high school reunion three years ago, Kazumi welled up in tears. She slowly repeated her reply three years ago: “I will bother you then.”

Lei Yin smiled and gently stroked her hair.
