When Nana Hashimoto got up and went downstairs, she happened to see Kenta Hashimoto coming back from outside.
The way he opened the door, took off his shoes, and walked was no different from usual, but as the elder sister, Nana Hashimoto could tell at the first glance that her brother was definitely worried about something.
The reason is very simple. She knows her brother's personality very well. Although he is not a homebody who stays at home every day, he is just a bit honest and a bit boring. He can go out for normal social activities, play basketball with friends and so on. But it's rare to see him come back empty-handed like this, as if he went out for a walk suddenly on a whim. After all, for him, if he had time for a walk, he might as well spend it reviewing his homework.
Of course, the most important thing is that he has a thoughtful and absent-minded expression on his face. He didn't hear even Hashimoto Nana called him twice. It would be strange if he couldn't tell——
"Kenta, Kenta—"
"Ah...sister!"
The call in his ears woke him up like thunder. Hashimoto's brother suddenly trembled. He hurriedly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. He happened to see his sister sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast. While staring at himself with a worried face, he asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about? I called you so many times and you didn't hear me-"
"Ah...no, no—"
Brother Hashimoto subconsciously denied it, but the next moment he couldn't help but want to slap himself in the mouth. No one would believe him when he looked like this? Let alone a sister...
So he coughed and was about to make up an excuse to see if he could be fooled, but he heard his sister Youyou say.
"Oh... that's fine. Why are you just standing there? Sit down and rest first -"
"ah?"
Brother Hashimoto opened his mouth wide and froze in place. What is going on? The sun rises from the west? In the past, when encountering this kind of situation, my sister would not give up until she asked for details. She had no intention of being fooled. Why did she let herself go so easily this time——
"Ah what? Why don't you sit down yet-"
Nana Hashimoto frowned.
"oh!"
Brother Hashimoto almost bit his tongue, but he didn't care so much. Anyway, it is definitely a good thing not to pursue it. No matter what the reason is, if he keeps pretending and offends his sister, it will be bad... ...so he sat down obediently without saying a word.
Seeing this scene, Hashimoto Nana nodded with dissatisfaction. Of course, she was not someone who wanted to control her younger brother. She had reflected on this aspect since returning home. My younger brother has reached the age of high school. It is normal for boys of this age to have any secrets. Therefore, he should be given the corresponding freedom and space. I kept asking, and it was obvious that something was not appropriate——
Of course, she was very happy to see that her brother was still the obedient little guy who liked to follow her and call her sister.
However, although this can be regarded as a reason, it is not the main motivation for her to do this. The most important motivation is of course the following issue.
"By the way, um...where did he go?"
Hashimoto Nana hesitated for a moment, bit her lower lip gently, but still couldn't say someone's name directly, but replaced him with "him", and looked at her brother and asked.
Brother Hashimoto was stunned for a moment, then said: "He? You mean... Baiyun-san?"
"Baiyun-san?"
Hashimoto Nana looked at him strangely: "When did you have such a good relationship with him? Didn't you just meet yesterday?"
"Yes, yes? I just heard you and mom call him that-"
Brother Hashimoto was quick to think and came up with a reasonable reason.
"Yeah......"
Nana Hashimoto frowned and thought for a while. After thinking that this seemed to be the case, she stopped worrying about these details. After all, she could never have imagined that this morning someone would actually take his brother out to find someone to settle accounts with, such a shocking situation would happen——
"By the way, you haven't told me yet? Where has he gone?"
"He, he goes-"
Brother Hashimoto racked his brains, but he was no longer as eager as before, and he couldn't think of a suitable reason at the moment. When he was at a loss, suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred, and he raised his head and looked at his sister with a strange look.
"Sister, why are you asking this?"
Hashimoto Nana froze while eating breakfast, then suddenly patted her brother on the head and taught him a lesson: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
"oh."
After receiving this blow, Hashimoto's brother didn't have any negative emotions such as dissatisfaction. He felt pleased with himself, rubbing his head and giggling.
Since my sister went to Beijing and became an idol, I could only see her at home casually, but now I can only find her occasionally on TV and the news. The strangeness caused by the distance has gradually increased over time. With each passing day, his brother became a little lonely without even realizing it.
After all, unlike his sister, he looks so ordinary. At most, his academic performance is not bad, but compared with his sister, who was first in the county, there is obviously still a gap.
Now this kind of casual shooting made him easily recall the scenes of living together when he was a child. Although it seems that the two of them have grown up a lot, the sister is still the sister, and he is still the same self. that's enough--
"Bai Yunsang went out with me this morning. He seemed to be waiting for someone, so he asked me to come back first——"
Hashimoto Kenta simply recounted what happened in the morning. Of course, he would not describe things like fighting with others. He simply skipped it and randomly picked a reason and stuffed it in. What he said was really impressive. Taking a break sounds reasonable, and even Hashimoto Nana couldn't see any flaws for a while.
"Yeah......"
Hashimoto Nana nodded. Although she was eating breakfast, her eyes were fixed on the smooth tabletop, obviously thinking about something.
For her, she couldn't tell whether the phone call last night was intimate or embarrassing. In fact, she woke up early in the morning today, but in order to avoid bumping into a guy, she deliberately waited until now to go downstairs. This shows that she is actually not very I want to meet at this time——
But if Baiyunshan just left, she felt reluctant to leave. She wanted to stick to her choice, but she also hoped that the other party could really convince her. The so-called ambivalence burst out in her mind every moment. Fighting, the mood is not uncomplicated.
Not long after, when Hashimoto Nanami had almost finished her breakfast, the door opened again.
It was a familiar figure who came in from outside.
"Nanamin, morning~"
Seeing Hashimoto Nanami actually coming downstairs at this time, Baiyunshan's eyes flashed with surprise, but soon he smiled again and said hello.
"Baiyun Sang, morning..."
Hashimoto Nana's cheeks blushed slightly, then she nodded in response.
"It's just a good time for you to get up. I have good news to tell you." Baiyunshan continued.
"good news?"
Hashimoto Nana looked at him curiously, and saw Baiyunshan move aside, revealing a girl who was covered behind him into his field of vision. I saw a girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a silly look all over her body, standing there pretty——
"This is the child of my friend in Hokkaido. Her name is Kitano Rinako. She...she also knows Nogizaka46 and likes you very much——"
Baiyunshan coughed lightly and introduced.
Before he finished speaking, he saw a certain Kitano Rinako sobbing and staring at him with tears in her eyes. She rushed forward with a look on her face filled with emotion.
"Nana Min-san, I am your fan——"
