Chapter 322 Accident in mixed bathing!
Compared to the blushing Mine Shiori, Esaki Suguha's expression seemed much more relaxed.
Her attention was focused on the hot spring pool in front of her. After stretching her beautiful legs in to get used to the temperature, she slowly moved her body and immersed herself in the water.
The warm feeling instantly enveloped her whole body, causing her to shiver subconsciously.
There was a feeling that my skin was "sizzling" all over, probably because the temperature in the pool was so different from the normal temperature outside.
However, this will not cause any discomfort, only an indescribable sense of comfort and relaxation.
My whole body was surrounded by warm hot spring water, and there was a faint smell of sulfur in the air, but it soon dissipated without a trace because of the open air.
Ezaki Suguha, who hadn't felt so relaxed for a long time, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"How is it, is it hot?"
Sawayama Haruno walked over curiously and checked the water temperature with his hand.
It was a little hot, at least higher than when he took a normal shower, but it seemed acceptable.
"I think it's okay. Haruno and Master, please come down quickly." Ezaki Suguha said softly.
It looked weird for her to be alone in the pool.
Hearing this, Zeshan Haruno no longer hesitated and followed him into the pond.
However, what made him feel a little embarrassed was that although the pool looked large, it was actually slightly shallower than he had imagined.
With his height, if he wanted to sit on the steps at the edge of the hot spring pool, most of his chest would be exposed, and he would not be able to enjoy the hot spring properly. So after thinking for a moment, Sawayama Haruno decided to sit directly at the bottom of the pool.
The hot spring water spread over his neck. Although this sitting position was not good for blood supply to the brain, Sawayama Haruno secretly sensed his own situation and felt that it was not unacceptable, so he turned around and smiled, "Shiori, why don't you come down?"
"Well"
Mine Shiori responded somewhat vaguely.
She walked slowly to the hot spring pool and began to gently touch the spring water with her toes, as if she was adapting to the temperature bit by bit.
There is certainly nothing wrong with doing this. Not to mention taking a hot spring bath, even when swimming, most people will adapt to the water temperature little by little.
But the bad thing was that when Mine Shiori carefully reached the surface of the water, she formed a clever angle with the position where Sawayama Haruno was sitting.
He had been watching Mine Shiori go into the water from the beginning, so when she raised her foot, he obviously realized that something was wrong.
Mine Shiori's fair and delicate toes were not far in front of him. When the petite girl tremblingly touched the hot spring water, her skin instantly turned white and rosy.
The jade feet, like delicacies, swayed gently on the water, making people swallow their saliva.
The worst thing is that the hem of Mine Shiori's swimsuit was accidentally lifted up by her slight movement, and the pink and white childish children's swimming trunks were faintly visible in the wind. Sawayama Haruno even noticed that there were countless small strawberry patterns on it. Whose swimsuit is designed like this?
He was a little confused, is this swimming trunks or panties?
Before he could figure it out, Mine Shiori inadvertently made her eyes meet his.
After less than half a second of silence, Mine Shiori suddenly let out a panicked "Ah!" and then slipped and fell into the hot spring pool.
"master??"
Suguha Ezaki suddenly stood up from the water.
However, due to the distance, Sawayama Haruno reacted faster than her and reached out to grab Mine Shiori who had fallen into the hot spring.
The other person was coughing continuously because he accidentally choked on water, and his embarrassed look made people feel both funny and distressed.
"Shiori, are you okay?"
After Sawayama Haruno pulled her up, he immediately showed concern for her situation.
"Cough, cough, cough, it's okay." Mine Shiori coughed violently several times and said with hazy eyes, "I accidentally slipped."
"The poolside is very slippery. Next time I'll sit on the edge and slowly test the water temperature."
While comforting the other person, Sawayama Haruno calmly raised his hand and pulled up the shoulder strap that had slipped off at some point.
It was such a shame that the shoulder strap slipped down and he could see almost everything in front of the other person.
Well. Although it was only less than a second, with his excellent observation and memory, that scene has been deeply imprinted in his mind. Even if he wanted to deceive himself and say "I will forget it when I turn around", it would probably be difficult to do so, right?
"It's okay."
Ezaki Suguha came over and said with some concern: "Master, you are too careless. If you accidentally hit your head, it will be over."
She didn't seem to notice Sawayama Haruno's little action just now, and at this moment she was still frightened by the accident of Mine Shiori.
"I'm really fine. I was just startled and drank some water." Mine Shiori whispered, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"I'm glad you're okay. Let's sit on the steps."
Suguha Esaki took the initiative to bring Shiori Mine to sit on the steps at the edge, while Haruno Sawayama sat alone on the bottom of the pool.
"Sure enough, it would be more comfortable to soak in warmer weather."
In order to ease the awkwardness, Sawayama Haruno took the initiative to start a conversation.
"When I was in the second grade of junior high school, my father and I went to a hot spring hotel outside of town. It was winter at that time, and we both got really cold."
He added with a smile: "It snowed heavily at first, but my father insisted on going to the hot springs. In the end, we both caught a cold and were scolded by my mother."
"Is Haruno close to his father?" Ezaki Suguha looked at him and smiled gently, "It seems like something boys would do when they get together."
"My Father"
Zeshan Haruno pondered for a moment and said slowly: "How should I put it? He is usually a very strict person, a very chauvinistic guy. But sometimes he behaves in a childish way that is not suitable for his age, right?"
"My mother said that he only behaves like this when he's with his family. Sure enough, when he's with other friends or colleagues, he should show a more mature and serious side."
"Haruno is also such a person." Mine Shiori stroked her chest slowly and said softly, "In the past, in school, Haruno seemed very independent and had a clear purpose."
She has had a crush on Sawayama Haruno since high school, and her observation of Haruno can be said to be meticulous.
She knew Sawayama Haruno's personality very well.
The other party seemed more independent in high school, so independent that no one could interfere with his decisions. At that time, Haruno was devoted to studying and working part-time. The only exception was Miyazawa Mana, who was dating him.
He declined all unnecessary matters and social activities other than this.
This remained the case until he entered the University of Tokyo. Haruno was very clear about his life plan, otherwise he would not have joined Kodansha and started writing novels.
The only thing that made Haruno change was probably the girls around him, Mine Shiori thought.
"Like father, like son. I guess I inherited this character."
Sawayama Haruno adjusted his posture, leaned on the steps and smiled: "But before, I only focused on my own affairs, but later I found that this would make me ignore a lot of things, so a new change occurred."
"My father must be the same, that's why my mother said that he is different when facing family members and outsiders," added Sawayama Haruno.
For a long time, because of his status as a reborn person, he has not been able to fully integrate into many interpersonal relationships.
After all, there is still a certain age gap between us and the people around us, especially when we are in elementary school and junior high school, the psychological difference will be so great that it cannot be exaggerated.
These symptoms may get better when you enter high school or college and face mature peers.
However, during this period, Sawayama Haruno was still busy with his own affairs. After all, he knew how to work harder than others.
If he had not understood these principles in advance, he would not have been so clear about his life plan, and would not have chosen to come to Tokyo to study alone after graduating from junior high school.
Including the part-time job I did later and my current job as a plagiarist.
All of them were "tasks" that he had planned one by one.
Of course, there are things other than "missions", such as Maki, Suguha
“Although this is beyond my expectations, it doesn’t seem bad,” he thought.
If it's because of them, it's not impossible to change my overly independent personality a little bit.
Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno subconsciously looked towards Ezaki Suguha, but found that the other party was also looking at him and smiled at him.
"That's great," said Ezaki Suguha gently.
"He seems okay, but sometimes I feel that my father is too chauvinistic. For example, when I graduated from junior high school, I had a quarrel with him because of my plan to come to Tokyo."
Zeshan Haruno coughed lightly, shrugged and said, "But in the end I still ran here alone."
Among the three of them, only Suguha Ezaki was born and raised in Tokyo.
Mine Shiori's hometown is not here. She chose to study in Tokyo because the medical conditions in Tokyo are very good and she could provide treatment for her sick mother at the time.
Although all kinds of bad things happened in the middle, fortunately, the other party was also very competitive. In the end, relying on Tokyo's educational resources and his own perseverance, he was successfully admitted to the best school.
“Work hard?”
Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but look at Mine Shiori again, but found that the other party was blushing and didn't know what he was thinking.
