Symmetrical Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

"I am home."

Furuhashi turned on the light, bowed, took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet, and placed them at Naoki's feet: "Here, change your slippers."

"Yes."

Naoki looked down and saw that it was a pair of sandals he was wearing earlier.

"When will uncle come back?" Naoki asked.

"I don't know." Furuhashi shook his head lightly and sighed, "Dad seems to be studying a certain topic all along, often leaving early and coming home late, sometimes he doesn't even come back… Don't talk about it, wait a moment, I messaged and asked, and I I will make you a cup of tea first."

"Thanks very much."

Naoki sat down on the sofa, took the remote control, and turned on the TV. He had come to this house countless times, and he no longer needed to be polite.

The picture appeared, a woman wearing a tight pink shirt with a slim waist appeared on the TV.

There was a yoga mat under her body. The beautiful woman supported the yoga mat with one hand, and the other hand went back, grabbed her right ankle, like a scorpion swinging its tail, showing her perfect and beautiful curves.

Furuhashi came from the kitchen with two cups of green tea, and when she saw the picture on the TV, his footsteps stopped slightly.

"Turn on the TV is a yoga teaching channel." Naoki said completely innocent "You have watched yoga before..."

In the middle of talking, Naoki suddenly stopped and said, "Have you been practicing yoga recently?"

Furuhashi didn't deny it. There are only two people in the family. Except for herself, it was impossible for Dad to watch the yoga teaching: "Mom has practiced yoga before, so I'll give it a try."

Naoki took the green tea Furuhashi gave it and took a sip: "How are the results of the practice?"

"Not too good." Furuhashi was annoyed, if she trained well, she wouldn't be running in the park at night. "The moves look simple, but they are very difficult to put into practice."

Naoki suddenly said in a serious tone:

"Being human and doing things requires persistence, and the most taboo is to give up halfway."

"Eh?"

"Yoga is not only for fitness, but also for beauty and whitening. Yoga has many benefits for the body." Naoki said in a serious tone, "So you have to keep practicing, and I will watch over you."

Furuhashi:"😐"

What are you talking about surveillance, it's obvious that you want to see me making all kinds of embarrassing poses!

During the conversation, the yoga teacher on TV changes postures, kneels down, lies down on the yoga mat, stretches the buttocks in the air like a stretch... This posture belongs to the classic movements in yoga fitness, it can effectively relax and stretch the muscles of the whole body, it's just looks bad.

Fortunately, it was live TV, otherwise there would definitely be a strange sequence!

"Typing with both hands to show innocence."

"Beauty is like a wolf like a tiger, and it breaks people's will. Let alone touching, you can't even think about it."

"Today's study has made the body three points weaker."

"Call your boyfriend to come out and practice yoga."

Furuhashi tried to tighten her face and glared at Naoki.

"I see."

Naoki regretfully took the remote control and changed the channel.

Furuhashi snorted lightly, turned his head away and said, "I didn't ask you to change the channel."

Naoki said: "Then I will change it back?"

Furuhashi smiled and turned his head: "You like it so much, just change it."

Smiling is very dangerous, and something bad will happen instead!

Naoki put down the remote control: "Unfortunately, I don't dare to change it."

"Humph."

Furuhashi's smile faded, she sat beside Naoki and took a sip of tea "I won't hit you anymore, what are you afraid of?"

Naoki said in a weak tone: "As we all know, domestic violence includes not only physical violence, but also mental violence."

"Who is domestic violence?"

Furuhashi's face was slightly red, and she said, "Don't talk nonsense."

After talking for a while, Furuhashi said:

"By the way, you said you were eating ramen... Have you finished eating ramen yet?"

"Not." Naoki told the truth, and he didn't need to hide it in front of Furuhashi, "I received your call after only two bites."

"Of course." Furuhashi got up and said, "I'll get you some snacks."

Naoki sighed "I thought you could cook."

Furuhashi said angrily: "I don't even eat."

"You didn't eat tonight?" Naoki asked with a frown.

Furuhashi coughed "That's wrong, I already ate."

Naoki just stretched out his hand and pulled Furuhashi into his arms.

"What are you eating?"

"It's just an ordinary dinner."

Furuhashi looked away, and wanted to fool the past as if nothing had happened.

Naoki exerted a bit of strength in his hand, hugged Furuhashi who wanted to run away tightly, and then drew closer.

"W-What are you doing?"

Furuhashi suddenly became nervous, leaning back slightly to avoid it.

Naoki said firmly, "I will kiss you."

"I refuse."

"Unauthorized denial, and the final right of interpretation belongs to me."

"…Pervert!"

Furuhashi supported Naoki's chest with both hands, and whispered, "I eat cucumber."

Naoki said earnestly:

"No other?"

Furuhashi's voice was even weaker: "There are also tomatoes."

She only ate a few vegetables, yet she even went out for a run at night. The last person to squeeze herself like this has already gone to heaven!

Naoki has a serious expression:

"It took millions of years for humans to climb to the top of the food chain, not because they became vegetarians. Chewing grass is the greatest insult to the teeth."

"It's too much." Furuhashi was angry, "Being a vegetarian is good for the body, and cucumbers and tomatoes are not grass."

In fact, the basic components of cucumber and grass are plant fibers, and there is no essential difference.

"I am hungry." Naoki suggested, "Let's have some sushi?"

"Sushi..."

Furuhashi got excited, but immediately recalled the weight data on the electronic scale, closed his eyes and said, "I don't want to eat. If you are hungry, eat yourself."

"I was worried about leaving you alone at home."

Naoki's reasoning was justifiable, and he said impeccably: "Come on together, watch me eat on the side."

"Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Furuhashi caught a glimpse of Naoki's 'evil intent'.

If she really entered a sushi restaurant and sat next to Naoki and watched it eat, Furuhashi would definitely not be able to stand it!

Conspiracy.

Dangerous scheme!

Always trying to trick herself into eating, she must always be on his guard!

"Let me go." Furuhashi glared at him "I'll eat later if I want."

The high-calorie, high-fat sushi meal would definitely gain weight after eating it, but she couldn't do it with exercise, at least shut up!

Seeing that Furuhashi had made up his mind, Naoki couldn't help but let it go, got up and walked to the fridge, checked the ingredients inside, and said:

"I'll make two omelettes."

Furuhashi also wanted to refuse.

"Do not want to eat?"

Naoki raised his eyebrows slightly.

Furuhashi agreed in a low voice, and said sadly, "I'll eat..."

If you still dare to refuse, I will bully you right now... Furuhashi clearly understood the look in Naoki's eyes.

"I will do less." Naoki walked towards the kitchen, "After eating later, don't forget to exercise."

Food is ready quickly.

Omelette rice, tofu and seaweed miso soup, and tomato roe, are fairly simple.

"Ittadakimasu."

Furuhashi folded his arms, said in a word, and started eating dinner.

As the scent of the mixed rice and eggs filled his mouth, Furuhashi smiled.

Very tasty.

Since reconciling with his father at the end of summer vacation and moving back from Naoki's apartment, Furuhashi has never eaten Naoki's cooking. But getting a little lost, and his mind drifting back to the past summer vacation quietly gone.

It's like what happened yesterday, but when she looks back, she realizes that it was a long time ago...

"Eat quickly, don't be in a daze." Naoki knocked on the table and woke Furuhashi up "Don't think I will help you eat."

"I never thought about it."

Furuhashi replied not having enough confidence, restrained his thoughts, and started eating honestly.

There was indeed a plan to let Naoki help share the burden just now, but Furuhashi decided at this point that it was fine to eat it all, and it would be fine to exercise more in a while.

...

"I'll wash the dishes."

After dinner, Furuhashi took the initiative to take over the dishwashing duties, as was the custom of living at the same time.

After washing the dishes and chopsticks, it was only 8 pm, and Furuhashi handed over an apple: "Asakawa-san, come to my room to study together?"

"Um."

When she was studying in the library in the afternoon, Furuhashi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It was rare that she didn't fall asleep, but now she couldn't. She only did two math problems, and his head started bit by bit, and his eyes became hazy.

Naoki reached out and pinched Furuhashi's face and sure enough, he played a bit more than usual.

"Don't pinch my face."

Suddenly attacked, Furuhashi glared at Naoki.

"If I don't pinch you, you will fall asleep." Naoki's eyes fell, "It seems that the effect is normal, do you want me to pinch your waist again?"

"Absolutely not!"

Furuhashi immediately woke up, and covered his chest with his hands vigilantly, in a defensive manner, "Girls' waist is a taboo area, you can't pinch it."

The truth is that the soft flesh has already appeared on the waist, how can it be pinched!

Naoki said "How do you usually pinch me?"

Furuhashi said as usual:

"You are a man, of course it is different."

Naoki sighed "I feel like I've been discriminated against on the basis of gender."

After talking for a while, Furuhashi took a deep breath, "Keep studying, I don't understand that math problem just now."

"That's because you fell asleep."

"Almost asleep, not sleeping."

Learning continues.

It didn't take long for the sober state to persist, and looking at the large paragraphs of formulas and numbers in the tutorial book, Furuhashi immediately felt sleepy again.

Not.

Can't sleep.

What if Asakawa-san pinches his waist?

Furuhashi lightly patted her cheeks, trying to shake off her drowsiness: "Asakawa-san, which fitness method suits me better?"

Naoki pondered for a few seconds: "Practice yoga."

"You want to trick me into practicing yoga again." Furuhashi approached "I already tried it, and the pose is too difficult to do."

"Doing yoga won't be too tiring, it actually suits you very well." Naoki didn't say that it was a lazy thought, "Is it harder to run than to do yoga?"

Furuhashi compared them carefully. It's really like this... Yoga is just an awkward posture, and the body hurts a little, but when running, the whole body hurts, especially the lungs, and it feels like it's about to burn.

"How about swimming?" Furuhashi fiddled with the hair on her ears. "I heard that swimming is very good for fitness. It can use up thousands of joules of energy in 30 minutes, and won't hurt your knees."

Naoki shook his head and said:

"Knees aren't as fragile as you think."

If you want to hurt your knees based on the amount of exercise you do, that's clearly unfounded. The students at the sports school have nothing to worry about, let alone you!

"Swimming and fitness are great." Naoki agreed, "You can give it a try."

Furuhashi frowned slightly and said:

"It's so cold right now that I'm a little worried I might catch a cold."

"The outdoor pool temperature is very low, but you can go to the indoor pool." Naoki said quickly, "The water in the indoor pool is always at a constant temperature, so don't worry."

"Huh, is that so?" Furuhashi blinked "I usually take swimming lessons at school, but I've never been to a professional pool."

When his mother died when she was young, the time between her and his father froze. She was an elementary school student and naturally wouldn't go to the pool. When she grows up...

Naoki's gaze dropped ten centimeters and landed on Furuhashi's chest with a clear expression on his face.

While taking swimming lessons at school, Furuhashi is introverted and doesn't want to be seen, let alone going to places like public swimming pools, even if she is invited by a friend, she won't go there.

Cake shop, dessert house, cafe, she can go back and forth with friends.

Swimming pool?

Sorry, but definitely don't go where dis can't use chest pads.

"Where are you looking!"

Furuhashi quickly covered her chest and shouted shyly.

Naoki looked away: "Tomorrow afternoon after school, should you go straight to the pool, or go to the library to study first?"

"Let's go to the library first..." Furuhashi quickly replied, "I can go to the pool alone."

"Not."

"Eh?"

Naoki said with a serious expression: "Maybe that stalker will appear again, don't go out alone at night during this time."

Furuhashi remembering the nervousness and fear of being stalked in the garden again, nodded seriously and said:

"I see."

When it comes to making trouble, she will not get angry with Naoki on important matters related to personal safety.

After reading the book for a while, suddenly there was the sound of a car downstairs.

Furuhashi walked to the window and looked down: "Dad is back."

Naoki got up and said, "I'll be back."

"Wait a moment." Furuhashi stretched out his hand to hold Naoki and whispered, "Don't get caught by Dad."

"I also plan to greet uncle." Naoki was very sorry, "Uncle should be very happy to meet me."

Furuhashi said angrily: "I am not happy."

Upon encountering a stalker, Furuhashi had decided that if she did not tell his father, she would worry her needlessly. Just by having Naoki by his side. Since she couldn't explain why, it was best not to let Naoki and his dad meet or Dad would definitely get cranky!

"I'll go out and have a look first." Furuhashi whispered "I will call you when Father enters the study."

Seeing Furuhashi leave the room, Naoki took out his cell phone and started deleting his game routine.

10 minutes later, Furuhashi pushed the door and entered, gesturing and whispering:

"Asakawa-san, you can come down."

Naoki put down his phone and went downstairs with Furuhashi.

When he reached the entrance, Naoki put on his shoes and looked at Furuhashi beside him: "I'll be back."

Furuhashi waved his hand: "See you tomorrow."

Naoki said again "I'll be back."

"Eh?"

Furuhashi thought for a moment, "Be careful, don't play with your phone while walking."

There are so many unlucky people right in front of you, and you don't need to say that you can't play with your cell phone.

Naoki continued: "I'll be back."

"...What do I want to do?"

Furuhashi was annoyed.

Naoki didn't speak, his eyes moved slightly downwards, landing on Furuhashi's lips.

Want to bully her?

Furuhashi immediately understood Naoki's plan, her pretty face was slightly red, and she raised her hand to cover her lips, "Don't think about it, go quickly."

Naoki actually said 'I want everything', but now I haven't forgiven you!

"I want to be rewarded." Naoki stepped back and pointed at his cheek "I came here to save you so hard, I can't justify it without a reward, can I?"

Furuhashi glared at him bashfully.

You are too shameless to be rewarded for doing such an extravagant thing, it is already very good not to neglect you!

Naoki was about to speak, when footsteps suddenly sounded upstairs, and the voice seemed to be about to descend.

Furuhashi became anxious. Seeing that Naoki still didn't want to leave, she could only quickly stand on his tiptoes and lightly kiss Naoki on the cheek and say:

"Is it okay now? Go quickly, don't be seen by Father."

Naoki said firmly, "I have symmetrical obsessive-compulsive disorder, so I also need the left side."

A gentle smile suddenly appeared on Furuhashi's face: "I didn't hear it clearly, why don't you say it again?"

"No longer." Naoki turned around and left "Goodbye."

...

When he returned to the apartment, Naoki suddenly smelled a sweet alluring fragrance in the cold night breeze, which made his index finger twitch.

Noticing the scent, he saw a white cart with stone-roasted yams parked in front, and in the corner stood a familiar tall, pink-haired, waist-length back. Even though he couldn't see her face, Naoki could still see her. Recognizing it at a glance, it was Mafuyu.
