Nishino's mother glanced at her daughter. It is said that a son is better than his father, and a daughter is better than her mother. Although her daughter has always been taciturn and introverted and shy in front of outsiders, she has been with her day and night and loved her biological daughter for more than ten years. With her understanding, Nishino’s mother is still very confident.
At first glance, it may seem like nothing, but a girl's feelings are always hidden in the details, reflected in an inadvertent movement, a word, or even a look.
My own Nana is no exception.
The shy and shy person who has not said a word since the explanation, the eyes that have been watching cautiously and worried about being noticed, and the nervousness due to the questions he asked back and forth, and the expression that he is even more concerned than the person involved, are all... Exposing the girl’s thoughts——
Of course, this may also be explained by worries about being rude. After all, they sent it all the way back, and they must also be worried about whether their parents will leave a bad impression on the other party, so they are nervous.
But with preconceived notions and possibilities, it is easy to deviate towards the former.
And the most important thing is that many times, what people believe is often not the most true and reliable one, but what they want to believe. For Nishino's mother, the first possibility is of course the one she wants to believe the most.
So after some observation, although she didn't say much, she was almost certain that her daughter... obviously had some thoughts.
After confirming this, it became much easier to handle. Nishino's mother felt a little at ease, and when she looked away at someone, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
Unlike his daughter Huaichun, the agent in front of him didn't seem to have such thoughts.
He looked very calm when answering. Even though the questions he asked were very provocative, he did not show any signs of guilt. Everything seemed very normal, so normal that it was a little abnormal.
After all, with a girl as cute as my Nana, how can an average boy not have any idea at all?
Nishino's mother put herself into the other party's identity to judge, and immediately shook her head slightly, because even she herself would never be able to do it!
After thinking about it, there is only one possibility -
Nishino's mother couldn't help but suddenly asked: "Mr...agent, are you married?"
"ah?"
Baiyunshan never expected that the other party would suddenly ask such a question. His eyes widened instantly. He was clearly concerned about his family and health a second ago. He was talking about the new type of cold that had been circulating recently and the gossip about so and so. Why is there such a big jump?
But he still subconsciously replied: "Of course not."
"So do you have a girlfriend now?"
"...nor."
Although there was a pause in his tone, it sounded true.
Nishino's mother nodded slightly, feeling a little happy for her daughter and relieved in her heart. But immediately I had to wonder, how could this be? Is there really a boy who doesn't like a cute girl like my Nana?
But, it’s impossible?
I couldn't tell whether I was disappointed or unwilling, or whether I was proud of my Nana's charm in the past, but now I met such a weirdo. Nishino's mother was thinking hard, and suddenly an idea flashed, as if she remembered something, and she froze in place.
Wait, agent... agent... there seems to be another possibility!
Could it be that--
"Mother Nishino, what's wrong with you?"
Baiyunshan asked weakly. In his eyes, the mother in front of him seemed to be acting a little strange. She jumped into the topic and shook her head slightly from time to time, frowning and thinking, as if she was troubled by some problem. He looked completely different, as if he was a different person. He was no longer as relaxed and skillful as he was when dealing with the sophistication of people.
Nishino's mother took a deep look at him, then squeezed out a smile and said slowly: "Mr. Agent, I'm very sorry. I seem to have forgotten to ask you a very important question. Please... .May I have your name?"
"name?"
Baiyunshan was stunned and scratched his head in confusion: "My name is...Baiyunshan. Baiyun is the white cloud in the sky, and the mountain is the mountain with the peak -"
"Bai...Baiyun Mountain."
The corners of Nishino's mother's mouth twitched, and the smile on her face gradually stiffened. She wished she could find a crack under her feet to get in and flee the scene immediately.
Baiyun Mountain!
The name was like a thunderbolt, and it sounded very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, Nishino's mother remembered the source. It was the name she had heard from the gossip in private and from old friends who were working at Sony in the past two months.
The tidbit was very simple, almost boring, but it was related to her daughter, so she took special care to write it down.
The content is that in the idol group Nogizaka46 that my daughter belongs to, there is a male manager who has a somewhat unique position and has always been very enviable. It was recently reported that he likes a man, and the name of that manager ——
It's Baiyun Mountain!
Thinking of this, everything suddenly became clear.
No wonder she has no idea about her daughter. What she likes is a man! You thought it might be CP, but in the end, it might become a competitor. Do you think this is funny?
And I actually had that kind of thought before——
Nishino's mother felt it was difficult to breathe, her mouth was bitter, she couldn't tell what it felt like, and she couldn't laugh or cry.
The eyes he looked at the young man in front of him no longer had the previous enthusiasm and brightness. Instead, they looked strange, with a hint of regret mixed in his appraising eyes——
Who would have thought that such a man who seemed to have a good appearance and good character, who satisfied himself in every aspect, and most importantly, the man that his daughter happened to like, actually liked a man too?
This is too outrageous!
Nishino's mother was so depressed that she almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Oh, yes, and Nana——
Thinking of this, Nishino's mother, who thought she had seen through the truth, felt sad again. She couldn't help but glance at her daughter and sighed silently.
Nana may not know the fact that the person she likes actually also likes men, right? Alas, I originally thought that as long as you like Nana, no matter how many girls want to compete with you, mom will definitely be able to help you get them. Even if you are an idol and he is your manager, these identities and so on It doesn't matter, as long as you like it.
After all, mom had snatched your dad from many competitors back then, so she has full confidence and experience.
but......
But your competitor is also a man, so how can you fight? Mom has no experience competing with men for men! Nishino's mother couldn't help but complain inwardly.
And the most important thing is that in this way, the possibility of him falling in love with you is completely slim——
Alas~
While sighing silently, Nishino's mother looked at her daughter with a hint of pity in her eyes.
Baiyunshan and Nishino Nanase looked at each other in confusion. The former noticed the look of regret in the other's eyes, but he couldn't understand what was so pity? Just because his name is Baiyunshan? But I have only heard of judging people by their appearance, but never heard of judging people by their names? Besides, the name Baiyun Mountain isn’t so bad, right—
The latter saw the pity in his mother's eyes and felt confused.
We were still chatting normally, why did my mother suddenly look at Nana and me? And he still has such pitiful eyes, is there anything so pitiful about him? I don’t understand it at all——
As if they were possessed by a certain girl, the two people looked at each other in confusion, and the atmosphere became tense and strange. Fortunately, Baiyunshan quickly woke up, seized this rare opportunity to speak, and hurriedly said goodbye.
"Okay, it's getting late, so I'll leave first."
"Ah...Bai...Mr. Agent, please walk slowly."
Nishino's mother forced a smile, completely losing her previous enthusiasm. Faced with the doubtful looks in her husband's and son's eyes, she just winked quickly and kept the other two silent.
"Then...Mom! I'll give Baiyun Sang a gift!"
Nishino Nanase, who felt a little uncomfortable with her mother's eyes, quickly raised her hand, stood up from the sofa, and spoke in a rather uneasy voice.
"Okay...you go ahead -"
If it had been a few minutes ago that her daughter had volunteered to say such a sentence, Nishino's mother would have laughed secretly for a long time, praised her Nana's courageous behavior, and then took the initiative to create a space for the two of them to be alone.
but now--
Besides pity, there is pity.
Nishino's mother responded weakly, and couldn't help but think about it.
Sigh, I really don’t know how Nana would look if she knew the truth... Forget it, it’s better not to tell her yet, lest she be too sad——
As for now... I just hope Nana doesn't get in too deep.
