By the time Hashimoto Nana returned to the dormitory, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
She turned the handle and returned to her room. She took off her shoes and put on slippers when she entered. She was going to take a shower first and then take a rest. However, she found that the lamp on the table was actually on, and on the other side of the bed, a girl was lying on her side. The body was lying there sleeping soundly.
Nana Hashimoto looked startled, and when she looked closer, she found that it was indeed the person she expected. She covered her forehead speechlessly, and then patted the other person to wake him up.
"Maimai? Maimai?"
Mai Fukawa, who still had a few strands of hair in her mouth, slowly opened her eyes. She squinted her eyes for two seconds and then suddenly woke up. She covered her mouth and yawned as she stood up. Her loose clothes immediately leaked out. A large piece of spring scenery said: "Nanamin, you are back——"
"Yeah, if I didn't come back, how could I find you sleeping in my bed?"
Hashimoto Nana sighed helplessly, squinted and said, "What's wrong with you? Why did you come to my bed to sleep? Did you come to warm my bed because you saw that I was working too hard?"
"Of course not!" Fukawa Mai's face turned red, she put down her hand covering her mouth, straightened her slightly messy hair and clothes, sat up and explained: "I originally planned to wait for you to come back in your room, but it turned out... After waiting for too long, I accidentally fell asleep——"
After saying that, she glanced at the time and said in surprise: "It's already past eight o'clock! Nanamin, are you staying in the hut with Baiyun Sang to do our things again this time?"
"That's not true." Hashimoto Nanami shook her head slightly: "Baiyun-san asked me to help me study today, so I came back so late."
"read?"
Mai Fukawa tilted her head, a little confused.
"Yes, that's what it means literally. Baiyun Sang asked me to help him study...it doesn't mean anything else. It's just like reading outside for a while."
Before Hashimoto Nana finished speaking, she suddenly felt a twinge of guilt in her heart. Even though the words were true, the facts were indeed as they said, but she suddenly remembered the panic she felt when she raised her head and made eye contact in the hut. In such an atmosphere, can even reading a book be called just reading?
However, when she secretly glanced at her friend, she found that the other person had no strange thoughts at all. He just said softly and stopped caring.
Hashimoto Nana couldn't help but said: "Maimai, don't you want to ask me something?"
Fukawa Mai was stunned when she heard this: "What are you asking?"
"Generally speaking, if your good friend stayed out alone until night, wouldn't it be customary to ask him something?" Hashimoto Nana said weakly, suddenly feeling that she seemed to be doing this unintentionally, and hurriedly A certain mayonnaise star who moved out added: "Mai-san always asks me this -"
"Mai-like?"
Mai Fukawa was stunned for a moment, then tilted her head and said matter-of-factly: "But it's not like you're in a strange man's house, you're just staying with Baiyun-san in a small house. This kind of thing is very common, right?"
"Bai Yunsang is quite familiar with everyone. Although we have more than one agent, he is probably the only agent that everyone trusts and loves! It's not uncommon for us to be alone together. Bai Yunsang is still very He is gentle and will care about our moods and difficulties from time to time. If we have any problems, he can basically solve them. Is there any need to ask about this kind of thing?"
Faced with the legitimate speech of his friend, Hashimoto Nana was speechless. What he said was true, but he was too worried. This kind of situation cannot be said to be common, but it has happened many times. Everyone I have already adapted to the existence of this agent, so naturally there will be no doubts.
And if you mention it specifically, it will appear to be guilty, and it may arouse suspicion.
Mai Fukawa continued to speak, her expression inadvertently showing a trace of shyness and longing, and she said softly: "Moreover, if Baiyun-san hadn't encouraged me last time, I wouldn't have been so easy after the second single selection. I have gotten out of the psychological shadow! And those words I said on the mountain later, when I think about it now, I feel very warm."
Having said this, the girl seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She happily took the hand of her friend next to her and suggested: "By the way, Nanamin, you said that if I successfully enter the selection for the third single in a while, , just personally make a bento and give it to Baiyun-sang to express your gratitude! What do you think?"
How about it? Of course not!
Hashimoto Nanami, who didn't expect the plot to take such a twisty turn, couldn't help but scream in her heart.
Recalling the shyness and longing shown in Mai Mai's eyes just now, as well as what she said at this time, Hashimoto Nana suddenly felt that her worries just now were not only unfounded, but even ridiculous. Her inner emotions were complicated, and she had a bulging face. Then he subconsciously pouted and complained: "Maimai, I haven't even eaten the bento you made! You would rather cook it for others than eat it for me. That's too much!"
Mai Fukawa didn't expect her friend's sudden change. She looked at him blankly and asked, "Nanamin, why does your tone of voice sound so like Mai's?"
Mai-like?
Hashimoto Nana was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that Mai-like, who was often stabbed in the back, was talking like this now, wasn't it? Thinking about it this way, it seems that I am in a similar situation to Mai-yang - No! There is nothing similar! It's just a bento, backstabbing doesn't even exist yet!
But the gesture was still necessary. Nana Hashimoto snorted softly, then took her friend's little hand and bargained: "I don't care! Mai Mai, after all, I must be the first to eat the bento you made. Anyway. .....No matter what, don’t give Baiyun-san the first bento you make! Okay?”
"Okay, I get it now."
Mai Fukawa, who has a gentle temperament, glanced at her friend's expressions with her big eyes open in confusion. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell. When did Nanamin like to eat my food so much? Could it be that the news about me secretly practicing my cooking skills recently was revealed somewhere?
However, after a period of silence, Hashimoto Nanami suddenly thought of a question and couldn't help but ask.
"By the way, Mai Mai, you said that you have never been alone with Baiyun Sang, so... you know, besides you, is there any other member who has experience of being alone with Bai Yun Sang? "
Fukawa Mai was startled when she heard this, tilted her head and began to recall.
"I heard Mayi say that in the winter, she asked Baiyun Sang for help because she was in trouble. It is said that she happened to meet someone looking for trouble, and then the two chatted for a while in the coffee shop and then came back. ——”
Linen-like.
Hashimoto Nana nodded slightly and began to count silently in her mind.
"Na-chan seems to have said it too. I don't know what it is exactly. I only found out about it when I was chatting with Xiao Chen -"
Na-chan.
Hashimoto Nana continued to count silently.
"And Asuka, everyone should know this. Asuka was accidentally injured in February, and Baiyun-san was the first person to go see her on our behalf—"
Wait, Asuka?
Hashimoto Nana suddenly felt that something was not right. If it was still possible, Asuka would be too sick! She is still a child!
"There are also Haruna-chan, Wakatsuki, Ichiku-chan, Sayuri, Reika, Ikoma-chan... They all seem to have the experience of being alone together - eh, wait, after all, it seems that the members Basically, I have spent time alone with Baiyun-san. Baiyun-san is really a good and competent manager -" Fukawa Mai couldn't help but open her eyes and praised.
Hashimoto Nana was silent in her heart. It seemed that she was overthinking it. Mai Mai had no idea why she suddenly asked this question. There was a fundamental mistake, so it seemed that this information did not have much value. ah--
"Nanamin what are you thinking about?"
After a moment of silence, Fukawa Mai couldn't help but poke Hashimoto Nanami's cheek, feeling the smooth and delicate elasticity on it, and said softly and carefully.
Hashimoto Nana glanced at her and then replied seriously: "I was thinking, since it's already so late, you might as well not go back and just sleep here with me -"
After saying that, he immediately pounced on her, causing the girl to let out a scream.
"Ah~ Nanamin, didn't you say that you are angry when you wake up, prefer to sleep alone, and don't like to be disturbed by others?" Fukawa Mai, who was suppressed, suddenly turned slightly red and struggled.
"That was before. Today, for the sake of your hard work in helping me warm the bed, I will make an exception this time!"
"I don't want it! Nanamin, watch your move!"
"It's you who sees the moves against Mai Mai!"
...
It didn't take long for the two girls to return to their usual fights at night.
