The dance studio on the other side.
"Okay, it's almost time for today's practice. Let's stop and take a rest."
"Hi~"
Amidst the sparse responses, the faces of the little idols could not hide their exhaustion. Under the pressure day after day, the girls' mentality was undoubtedly under the huge pressure of the group, and this pressure gradually increased over time. It penetrated into the body, making the body that was already suffering even more fatigue.
But it’s finally time to rest.
While the girls were drinking water to relieve their fatigue, they were thinking about the problems they had encountered during the practice. Their voices were scattered, and none of them got up and moved around - they were still too tired after all.
But fortunately, after this practice time is over, it will be lunch time soon. Since the sixteen-person performance project was launched, the meals in the past ten days have been very rich, so rich that they are a bit excessive - it is said that a certain salted fish fought for it early in the morning, but because I didn't ask, I didn't I don't know whether it's true or not - so that even though the girls feel tired every time it's their turn to have lunch, they can still cheer up.
Even the few people who were still talking at this time were all talking about the recent lunch——
But some people don't care about this issue that foodies are particularly concerned about.
As if she had rested enough, a girl suddenly stood up and then walked towards the door of the dance practice room.
"Asuka? Where are you going now?"
The girl looked back.
"Oh, I feel a little uncomfortable and want to go to the toilet-"
...
...
The lounge was silent and noisy, and the long breathing sound before could no longer be heard. At this time, Nishino Nanase's ears could only hear the sound of his own increasingly violent heartbeat.
Staring at the face that made her feel close and familiar from the bottom of her heart, the girl felt that her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter, as if white air was about to erupt. But he remained motionless, unwilling to move his eyes away at all. He just stared quietly, biting his pink lower lip with his white teeth, feeling very hesitant in his heart.
A daring thought suddenly appeared in her mind just now. Once the thought appeared, it was like a drop of ink dripping into a clear water glass. It could no longer be erased. The same sentence kept thinking in her mind: 'If... It would be nice if I could kiss you secretly at this time——'
As soon as he thought of this idea, Nishino Nanase felt that his hands and feet were weak, and his heart was pounding nervously. He was a hundred times more nervous than when he sneaked over to the other party while he was asleep and stared at his sleeping face!
Her face was as red as blood, and her throat was even dry for a while. Even though she hadn't done anything yet, the girl was still so shy that she could barely move.
She stared at it like this for a long time, her heart pounding in her ears like a drum. The girl seemed to finally make up her mind. She let go of her teeth that had been biting her lips and stretched her neck with a blushing face. Getting closer, his hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and there was only one thought left in his mind.
'Just a kiss, just a kiss. Just think of it as repaying him for helping to heal the sprain and working so hard to help me practice, so if you kiss him, Baiyun Sang will definitely not find out——'
She was thinking this in her heart, but as she got closer, another thought suddenly jumped out, causing her beautiful eyebrows to wrinkle slightly.
'no! How can there be such a repayment? It’s just self-deception! And you feel familiar and close to others, but they may not! Just imagine, if Bai Yunsang wakes up suddenly at this time, what should you do? Do you still have the nerve to see him again? Even if he doesn't care, can you still be by his side and get along with him normally like before? ! '
The voice seemed to come from outside but echoed clearly in her mind. The cold words were merciless. Thinking of the consequences of this, the girl's face suddenly turned pale, and her movements just stopped.
'Don't worry! Didn't I say it before, it was just a secret kiss. Kiss him secretly... He won't wake up anyway——'
At this moment, the previous thoughts came out again, and the voice was full of temptation, making the girl's originally pale face calm down again.
'How can there be such a thing? Things always involve risks, you can't just think about it! What if you wake up? That would be beyond redemption! '
The voice was sonorous and powerful, but Nishino Nanase stared at the face sleeping like a child in front of her, but her thoughts surged again, urging her to continue: 'It's okay! It’s not like you don’t know Bai Yunsang’s normal behavior. He will definitely not care about such a trivial matter! Besides, it's just a secret kiss. There is no one else here except you. He won't know when he wakes up. You are the only one in the world who knows -'
The girl's heart was shaken, and a blush appeared on her face again. She held her breath and leaned over nervously, feeling that her teeth were trembling slightly, but the cold voice sounded again.
'Stop dreaming! Do you really think you have the courage? You didn’t have it at the fireworks display more than ten days ago, and of course you don’t have it now either! '
The girl felt a sense of loss in her heart, but she could hear the other person's long and steady breathing in her ears, as if her lips could feel the hot breath exhaled between the other person's mouth and nose, but her mind couldn't help but swayed in a trance: 'Why not? Do you still remember what that brain-san said? Everything must be done step by step. It is still too difficult to confess from the beginning. What you do now is the real first step! '
'first step? I think this is the last step! Once you do something like this, you will never have the chance to look back. You have to think about it clearly -' The cold voice seemed to be sneering.
'It's clear enough after thinking about it for so long! What's the hesitation? Don’t forget, you were hesitating like this more than ten days ago, and that’s why you didn’t accomplish anything. You can’t hesitate any longer! 'Another voice was not to be outdone.
The two voices kept arguing back and forth. Nishino Nanase felt the confusion and hesitation in his heart reached the extreme. He frowned and stared at the scene in front of him, his expression changing, unable to make a decision no matter what.
'What's there to hesitate about? You really did this, but the gain outweighs the loss! Don’t forget, he is your manager and you are still an idol! '
'What happened to the idol? Don’t idols have the right to choose the person they like? I just like him——'
This sound was deafening, like thunder exploding in the girl's ears.
Nishino Nanase felt as if his heartbeat, which had been beating violently, stopped for a beat. It was like a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and all his thoughts suddenly disappeared.
The girl seemed to understand something, but also seemed not to understand anything. For a moment, it was like being in the thick fog of late autumn. Everything in the distance was not clear, but some outlines could be vaguely glimpsed. It was this glimpse of the outline that allowed the girl to understand its general appearance even though she couldn't see it clearly.
She stood there quietly, as if a certain barrier that had always existed but had been deliberately ignored by her was broken deep in her heart. The hot spring water gushes out from the broken spring, making the girl's heart warm and sweet. .
This kind of warmth seemed familiar, just like a stone dropped into a quiet pool. The faint ripples spread around, hitting the fragile pool bank one after another.
'Yes, I like...Baiyun-san——'
The corners of Nishino Nanase's lips raised slightly, and the previous hesitant thoughts had long since disappeared. Some things require hesitation, often just because they haven't fully understood it yet. But now, there is no need for other voices to remind her, she already knows how to choose.
Her heart was still slowly speeding up involuntarily, her ears were still feeling hot, and in her clenched fist, one hand was still tightly holding the pen that she had not had time to put down, but there was no confusion or hesitation in the girl's eyes.
Just approach slowly.
The smell of the shirt mixed with the warm air smelled very good.
But at this moment, the door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar voice sounded.
"Nanasai? What are you doing-"
