Baiyunshan here naturally didn't know about the conversation between Suzuki and his daughter after he left.
After finishing the promotion at the cultural center, he hurried to the Akita Prefectural Government Building with the young idols, and then visited several places in a row before finally ending today's promotion.
However, after the promotion, Baiyunshan did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he had a barbecue with the girls to celebrate. Of course, the person who paid was naturally the unlucky guy who had just vowed. Baiyunshan has always been very happy about being able to eat for free. This has nothing to do with whether he has money or not. Eating is all about his mood——
The unlucky guest, Chuan Jingai, obviously wasn't in such a mood anymore. When he paid the bill, he couldn't help complaining. Didn't we agree to treat you alone? Why are the little idols included? This is a real loss of blood——
Baiyunshan then patted his shoulder to comfort him, saying that he had been busy all day and he had to give him a reward, right? And fortunately, the people who came to Akita this time are Ikoma and his group. Although they love to eat, they are just greedy. If it were Ikuta or Matsumura, I am afraid that you will not only lose blood today. Can you go out? It’s all the same thing... So if you think about it this way, not only did you not lose money today, but I also saved you a lot of money——
Faced with the argument from this logic genius, Chuan Jingai could only choose to accept his fate in a daze, then went out to say goodbye and left.
After saying goodbye to the little idols, the time has already reached seven o'clock.
Baiyunshan did not go back directly to the apartment in Wutongzaka. Instead, he went to the cabin first to see the cats and help with some cat food. Of course, if there was someone to help who had already done the work first, then there was no need to bother him. .
Yes, this someone is referring to a certain Akimoto Manatsu.
However, what surprised Baiyunshan was that after arriving at the cabin, he did not see the expected Akimoto Manatsu. The person in front of him who helped pour cat food to feed the cat was another girl.
The short hair is neat, the large T-shirt is loose and cool, and the white and slender arms poke out from the sleeves of the clothes. The girl's bare feet step on the dark wooden floor, and the toes look particularly pink and cute. At this moment, He squatted next to him and stretched out his right hand to touch the orange cat's head. It looked cute in a different way.
"Hashimoto?"
Baiyunshan opened the wooden door, stood there for a moment, looked around, then turned around and closed the door. While finding a place to sit down and rest, he said with some confusion: "Why are you still here at this time? You have been busy all day." Aren't you tired because you haven't rested yet? Where's Qiu Yuan, why didn't I see her? "
Hashimoto Nana looked back at him, straightened up slightly and stretched. Her beautiful waist line was exposed to the air, which made people take a breath. She shook her head slightly and replied: "It's okay. Although we went to many places, the staff worked much harder than us. At least we could still ride bikes and didn’t feel too tired—"
"As for Manatsu...I don't know for sure. I just stopped by to take a look and found that no one seemed to be feeding the cat, so I just helped feed it some cat food."
"Yeah."
Baiyunshan came back to his senses, looked away from the girl's waist, and then waved his hand and ordered: "Stop feeding me, sit down and rest first, and let me do it -"
"That's fine."
Hashimoto Nana nodded, put down the cat food she was carrying in her other hand, then came to sit down at the low table, took out a book from her bag, brushed her hair behind her ears and said, "It just so happened that Baiyun Sang, you’re here too, so let’s start today’s reading, um… do you want to drink something first?”
After saying that, she turned around and stared at him with her beautiful eyes, motionless.
"Uh... let's forget it for today -"
Baiyunshan looked at her blankly, answered subconsciously, and then thought for a moment and added: "You are so tired today, it's not a big deal if you just stop studying for a day."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something. Before the girl could answer, he immediately got up and came to the house. He took out a jar of plum wine buried in the cellar and put it on the table. He said to himself: "As for drinking, Xia Tian Now that we’re here, it’s time to drink some of this to cool off the heat——”
"Plum wine?"
The girl blinked, her expression slightly strange.
"This is it."
Baiyunshan grinned at her.
The lights of the small house facing the courtyard are bright, and the breeze blows through the leaves, disturbing the unknown summer cicadas.
The two plums were carefully taken out by the pair of clips and thrown into the transparent glass with a clang. The dark wine liquid and the ice water with square ice cubes were mixed together. The picture looked particularly cool, even The hot cicada sounds in the surrounding trees have cooled down a lot.
Baiyunshan taught her step by step, adding honey, sugar and other condiments to neutralize the taste bit by bit in order and dosage, then stirred gently and took a slight sip. Well, it still tasted familiar.
“So sour~”
Hashimoto Nana was obviously still not used to the taste. Although she was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but blurt out with a slight frown when she drank it, exactly like her last performance.
Facing Baiyunshan's smiling and playful gaze, the girl's cheeks turned red, then she turned her head while holding the cup and muttered to herself: "Did I add too little honey? I need to put a little more in -"
"That's not necessarily the case."
Baiyunshan shook his head, took another sip of the wine in the cup, smacked his lips and said with emotion: "This kind of thing needs to be heated first and then flattened. When you gradually get used to the sour feeling, you can feel the difference when you drink it again." Aside from the plums, there is a delicate and sweet flavor hidden inside.”
"And it's plum wine after all. If it doesn't even have a bit of sourness, what's the point? It's like life is a smooth road with no ups and downs, and it's less fun after all--"
"That's what I say..."
Hashimoto Nana sighed deeply after hearing the words, then shook her head, smoothed some broken hair that blocked her sight, turned her head and said: "But if there is really no setbacks and sadness, this kind of life will be everything." Is that what everyone dreams about?”
Baiyunshan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What you said makes sense."
The two sat down facing the courtyard, chatting for a while, sipping the wine in the glass, the sour and refreshing senses traveled through the body, and they felt refreshed.
The chirping of the cicadas gradually subsided, but the light did not move westward like sunlight. Instead, it hung overhead as always, illuminating a corner of the courtyard.
"How about it? It's like what I said before. Drinking plum wine in summer does feel different, right?" Baiyunshan said with some pride.
"It's something special——"
The girl held the cup and nodded, then put her face close to the glass, stared at the crystal-colored liquid inside with wide eyes, and said curiously: "But if you just drink plum wine without adding honey, you will easily get drunk. Bar?"
"That's for sure, after all, it's still wine! When we drink it this way, it only enriches its taste and dilutes the alcohol concentration. As long as you don't drink too much, it's actually not much different from a drink-"
"I see."
Hashimoto Nana nodded in confusion, took another sip of the wine inside, and tasted it carefully. Sure enough, she could feel the sweetness returning between her lips and teeth after the sour taste passed, mixed with the wonderful flavors of plum and honey, which made the girl His eyes couldn't help but shine, and he blurted out his admiration.
"Oh vaguely——"
Seeing the girl's satisfied look, Baiyunshan also smiled, then pondered slightly, and suddenly said: "By the way, Hashimoto, I have something to ask you."
"What's up?"
The girl subconsciously looked at him with confusion on her face.
Baiyunshan said seriously: "Do you want to go to the fireworks display together?"
"Eh?"
Hashimoto Nana was stunned for a moment, her face suddenly turned pale as if she was drunk, she lowered her head shyly and said nothing.
Seeing this scene, Baiyunshan knew that what he just said must have been misunderstood by the other party, and quickly added loudly: "Don't get me wrong, it's not just the two of us, there are others! Uh... Ichiku-chan and the others must be I’m going too. As long as I’m free, I’d like to make arrangements—”
That's it, it turns out the two of us are not going alone~
The girl immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little disappointed in her heart. Then she couldn't help biting her lip and glared at him in shame, wondering if this guy said this on purpose, and deliberately wanted to see her shy look——
Of course Baiyunshan looked innocent and raised his hands to express surrender.
After a long time like this, the girl replied: "If I go...of course it's no problem. But are we free? After the promotion, there should be a lot of activities to be busy in the next period of time, right?" ?”
Baiyunshan put down his hands and said: "There should be time, but it will be after the release."
"After the release?"
Nana Hashimoto was stunned: "Isn't that after August 22?"
"Yeah, let's just celebrate the release of the third single, what do you think?"
Baiyunshan asked with a smile.
The girl pondered for a while, then nodded slightly: "I have no problem, and since it is summer, if you don't go to a fireworks display, it seems like you are missing something."
Baiyunshan nodded and said with a hint of emotion in his tone: "Of course, especially now that you are still an idol. You will definitely be busier every year in the future. If you want to go to the fireworks festival, it will be even harder to spare time - —" After saying this, he couldn't help but think of other things, and his eyes gradually became deeper.
"Shouldn't that be a celebration?"
The girl suddenly tilted her head and looked at him. Her short hair fell from her collar, revealing her white neck, and she said with a playful expression.
Baiyunshan was stunned for a moment: "We should celebrate."
The two of them laughed at the same time, then raised the glass and touched it lightly, making a crisp collision.
"cheers."
