“Then I’ll go buy a bass… RiNG is open late, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to make it in time.”
I silently planned my next trip and reviewed the information about several restaurants I had memorized, preparing to ask for his opinion when he showed up.
Then, think about how he will appear in front of you later.
Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but feel slightly dazed, as if she had fallen into a warm dream. The throbbing and satisfaction still fascinated her.
Just waiting can make you feel so happy and excited, like a glass of bubbling soda water.
——The moment I meet him, I probably won’t be able to help but show the happiest smile of the day, right?
Buzz!
The phone suddenly vibrated.
Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly came to her senses, quickly lowered her head and turned on the standby screen, looking at the message he finally replied to.
Also at the same time.
A girl with a red face quickly ran past her, swiped her card in a hurry to enter the station, then lowered her head and rushed to the platform. She looked like she had done something shameful and didn't dare to meet the eyes of anyone she passed by.
Nagasaki Suyo subconsciously turned her head to look, but she didn't even catch a glimpse of the other person's skirt. Her eyes were filled with the crowd of people arriving at the station.
"It's an illusion."
She looked away without caring, and after reading the message, she quickly replied while walking towards the Subway next to the station.
-
The previous part is omitted.
After warming his palm with his cheek, Teacher Xiaoxiang, who had calmed down, ran away.
Running faster than he thought.
However, during the moment she was stunned, the girl's hair had become so smooth that even the ends of her hair were not visible, and the crowd in front of the station could not stop her at all.
That short "Goodbye!" hasn't even landed yet.
"Teacher Xiaoxiang, you have the potential to become a sprinter..."
Ming Hai sighed, turned out a bitter tea candy and threw it into his mouth to calm his unstable mind.
The scent of her gardenia still seemed to linger on my nose, like the afterglow of the setting sun that was reluctant to sink into the horizon for a long time.
——Not to mention, these hands that had been in intimate contact with her skin.
Ming Hai lowered his head, looked at his red palms, subconsciously pinched them a few times in the air, and a look of regret appeared on his face.
"I should have rubbed it more. It feels really good..."
The heat and touch still remain. Her cheeks are even better to touch than freshly steamed buns. Her lazy and dependent eyes are even more captivating. I can't help but want to do more and more excessive things to her.
But how strong was Ming Hai's will? He was not bewitched, and at most he just gently rubbed her cheek with his palm, making the girl involuntarily reveal an expression of enjoyment and satisfaction, firmly respecting the sense of distance she took the initiative to give, which was visibly shortened.
...and now I kind of regret it.
"If I have the chance next time, I will definitely pinch a few more to satisfy my craving."
Shaking his head, he decided not to think about Xiaoxiang's escape for the time being. He took out his cell phone which seemed to have vibrated not long ago.
——Nagasaki Suyo has arrived at the station.
The moment he confirmed the news, Ming Hai seemed to see the will of the world giving him a malicious grin. His nerves instantly tensed up and he looked around covertly.
Is the "Caught in Bed" scenario coming? !
"..."
After a while.
There was no sight of Nagasaki Motoyo, nor was there any scene of the two girls meeting head-on.
The secret location chosen unconsciously by Toyokawa Shoko was a small corner hidden by telephone poles and debris right behind Ikebukuro Station.
Not to mention Nagasaki Suyo who just walked out of the station, even passers-by passing by outside would probably find it difficult to realize that there was someone hiding here.
"A false alarm? I knew there wouldn't be so many coincidences..."
As if he had survived a disaster, Ming Hai let out a long sigh.
He quickly walked out of the corner, found a seat in the outdoor seating area of the nearby Subway, and then sent a message to Nagasaki Suyo.
Not long after, the girl with hurried steps appeared before him.
"Sorry, have you waited for a long time?"
As if she was not the one who was disappointed just now, Nagasaki Suyo trotted over with an apologetic look on her face, her sweet and gentle voice even with a hint of breathlessness.
Ming Hai shook his head, stood up and pulled out a chair for her: "I should say sorry, I didn't make you wait too long at the station? Order a drink to slow down, it's my treat."
"No~ok~"
Nagasaki Motoyo rejected him gently, chuckled and thanked him for his gentlemanly behavior, then sat down gracefully by the hem of her skirt: "I asked you to help me today, so I should be responsible for all your expenses. What do you want to drink? I'll help you order it."
"Okay, then I'll just enjoy it."
Ming Hai shrugged, not intending to insist on paying, and casually sat back in his seat.
At this moment, Nagasaki Suyo, who was about to take the menu, suddenly shrugged her nose and subconsciously looked at him who had not yet sat down.
"Eh? This fragrance..."
Volume 34: Chapter Chapter Let’s be honest, Toyokawa Shoko is my friend
Although it is not very obvious, it seems like it will be blown away by the breeze at any time.
But Nagasaki Suyo could smell - or rather, feel - there was a smell on him that didn't belong to him.
Like a mark of ink on white paper, the strange feeling was so distinct that she had to pay attention to it.
And this faint scent of gardenia always makes me feel familiar for some reason, as if I had smelled it there not long ago...
Nagasaki Suyo frowned in thought, rubbing her fingertips lightly against each other, but she had no idea in her mind.
——After all, she and Toyokawa Shoko only met once in the Tsuki Forest, and the distance between them when they talked was not very close.
At the station, the figures that passed by did not leave much impression on her, and the breeze raised by their long hair was only a fleeting one.
After all, Nagasaki Motoyo's sense of smell is at the level of an ordinary person, not very sensitive; if she hadn't been extremely sensitive to the smell on Minghai's body, she would not have noticed such a faint scent at all.
"A can of Tree Top apple juice will be fine. We have dinner later, after all."
Ming Hai ordered a drink casually. Although he noticed the change in her expression, he still didn't care and had no intention of explaining.
Unless she asked, there was no need to say it - the two of them were just ordinary friends.
Well, at least that's what he thought.
"...That's true. I'm the same as you."
After a brief moment of daze, Nagasaki Suyo quickly regained her usual gentle smile, stood up and went to the counter to order food.
Not long after, he came back with two bottles of apple juice.
After drinking a few sips in silence, she folded her hands in front of her chin, gently resting her head, and asked casually: "Ming Hai, have you made good friends in class?"
"Not a classmate." Knowing what she wanted to ask, Ming Hai answered casually, "We met by chance on the street, and after helping each other a few times, our relationship gradually became better."
"Oh~ That's great~" she sighed softly. Nagasaki Suyo didn't explain what was so great about it. She just tilted her head and smiled at him, and said in an earnest tone, "Can I get to know her? I'm a little embarrassed to say that although I have good relationships with people in the Moon Forest, I haven't made many friends who can be considered close friends."
This sentence is true.
Even though she tried her best to integrate herself into that circle, Nagasaki Suyo, who was essentially an ordinary girl, still found it difficult to reach a consensus with those young ladies on hobbies, interests, living habits, etc., and to chat happily with them.
No matter how close they are to each other, once the bell rings, Cinderella's magic will immediately lose its effect, clearly and cruelly separating her from their world.
The proof is that it has been almost three years since she entered Yue Zhisen, and she has never gone out to play with her classmates on holidays.
If she really had to say, the only person she could call a "friend" at any time now was probably Narumi, right?
That's why I value him so much...
"Don't worry, I have no other intentions. I really just want to make a good female friend and chat about some topics that I can't talk about with boys!"
Afraid that he would think she was beating around the bush again, seeing that Ming Hai did not answer immediately, Nagasaki Suyo hurriedly added with a solemn oath, and then peeked at his expression with a little trepidation.
Ming Hai put down the apple juice, thought for a few seconds, and nodded.
"Okay, I'll introduce her to you sometime. Maybe I can give you a surprise."
"Surprise?" Nagasaki Suyo was stunned, and a bad premonition suddenly surged into her heart, "Should, shouldn't..."
"Yes, that's the one."
Ming Hai smiled faintly, but the girl in front of him turned pale, her heart stopped beating, and her breathing unconsciously stagnated.
Subconsciously clenching her fingers, she didn't want to imagine the worst possible scenario, so she could only say with the most optimistic attitude and the most cheerful voice: "Although I think it should be impossible, but Ming Hai, what you said, could it be that you two——"
"Are you going to date?" "She is a student of Tsukinomori Academy just like you."
Sounds of varying degrees of intensity landed at the same time.
The two of them couldn't help but look at each other, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
After a moment, Ming Hai couldn't help but touch his forehead.
"The surprise for you is that I found a girlfriend? Miss Su Shi, is there something wrong with your thinking, or do we have fundamental differences in our understanding of surprises?"
Nagasaki Suyo's face flushed, and she couldn't help biting her lip and complaining, "Who made your tone so strange? It's easy for people to misunderstand... Besides, making friends with students from the same Tsuki no Mori is not necessarily a good thing for me..."
Ming Hai understood: "Because you are not good at getting along with those young ladies? This consideration does make sense..."
"..."
The girl stood there in a daze, staring at his profile, and could no longer hear what was said afterwards.
All emotions turned into maple syrup at this moment, flowing through the heart, into the blood, and then gradually filling the empty corner of the heart, leaving only a touch of fresh and elegant sweetness on the lips.
——It turns out that being understood by others is such a happy thing.
In a trance, a soft smile appeared in her eyes, and her eyes were filled with his figure.
The lips curled up slightly, and the pleasant breath seemed to carry the sweetness of apple.
"Hmm~ You found me."
"It's very tiring to speak with a high attitude, especially when it comes to honorifics. It took me a long time to learn that dignified and elegant tone."
"Friends should get along with each other as easily and naturally as we do, right?"
Ming Hai curled his lips in disbelief at her happy and sweet smile.
——Given the heavy pressure that emanates from you from time to time, how dare you say you're relaxed and natural?
If it were someone else, they would have been scared away by you, okay...
"Since you don't seem to like this surprise, I'll just reveal the answer directly."
He shook his head, no longer intending to continue playing tricks: "Anyway, whether you want to make friends with her or not, you have already met her."
"Have you met him?"
Nagasaki Suyo paused slightly and thought about the scent on his body again.
If this smell was really left by a classmate I know...
A sky blue figure suddenly flashed through her mind. She couldn't help but open her eyes wide and looked at Ming Hai in disbelief.
——Is it really such a coincidence?!
Soon, Ming Hai responded to her look with affirmation.
"You said you were going to buy a bass today, right? It just so happens that my friend recently formed a band, and just found the bassist he liked at the music festival today."
"I also heard you say that you met a very interesting person...so I was wondering if you were the bassist that my friend was looking for."
"Su Shi, you should know Toyokawa Shoko, right? She's the friend I was talking about."
Volume 35: Chapter Chapter Is Toyokawa-san more important than me? !
If you don't want to be surrounded by an inexplicable Shura field, you have to take the initiative and control the situation within your expectations.
After saying goodbye to the runaway Xiaoxiang, Minghai almost figured out how to deal with this malicious coincidence.
