"Why did it take so long?"
The door finally opened. Mrs. Hashimoto looked at her daughter in pajamas and couldn't help but complain.
Nana Hashimoto rubbed her eyes and pretended to have just woken up. Her face felt hot when she heard these words. Fortunately, she had the cover of the night, so she couldn't see clearly. After opening the door, she hurriedly turned around. , said: "It's not what you just said! People just said that they still had a cold and wanted to sleep more, but you deliberately brought up these topics... If you had known better, you would have pretended not to hear the knock on the door and continued Go to sleep--"
"Okay, okay, it's mom's fault, okay?"
Mrs. Hashimoto lowered her head helplessly to admit her mistake, followed her footsteps into the room, and pretended to glance at the situation inside accidentally, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
It's strange, why didn't I see anyone...
According to her assumption, when the study door is locked, the young man named Baiyun Sang will most likely come to her daughter to ask for some solutions. Even if it doesn't work, it is possible to knock on the door. There are no shadows?
Could it be that just like my daughter, young people are shy and embarrassed, so they didn’t come? But I clearly heard my daughter’s voice just now, as if she was talking to someone——
Could it be that I heard it wrong?
Thinking of what her daughter said just now, Mrs. Hashimoto was secretly disappointed.
Her original plan was to break in while the young man and her daughter were in the same room, and then use this opportunity to directly clarify the relationship, which could be regarded as an assist. Who would have thought that not even half of a person was seen, and a great opportunity was wasted——
As for the situation of hiding, Mrs. Hashimoto never considered it at all, because if she was hiding in the cupboard, there would be no sound at all. She was right outside the door, and she would have heard it clearly. The possibility of hiding it under the quilt is almost zero. After all, with her daughter's character and thin skin, how could she let a man hide in the bed in front of her?
How could she have imagined that at this moment, someone was really hiding under the quilt on the girl's bed——
Pity......
Mrs. Hashimoto, who felt that her work was in vain, sighed quietly. At the same time, Nana Hashimoto also returned to the bedside. Looking at the quilt, which was obviously slightly swollen compared to usual, her pupils shrank, and she secretly screamed, "Oh!"
In the girl's original imagination, the quilt was so thick and there was insufficient light in the room. If someone lay down and hid in it, as long as he didn't move casually, it would be difficult for anyone to see any flaws.
This was indeed the case, but she ignored an important issue, which was the difference between someone's height and hers. This quilt is more than enough for her, but for Baiyunshan, if she wants to lie down with her legs straightened, the length is obviously not enough, and she has to bend her body or lie sideways. And if this happens, it will inevitably become what it is now!
no solution anymore......
Fortunately, Mrs. Hashimoto was thinking about what she was thinking just now and did not notice the situation on the bed. Nana Hashimoto gritted her teeth. In order not to be discovered, she had no choice but to quickly take off her slippers and lift a corner of the bed. The quilt got in.
However, as soon as she came into the quilt, her body stiffened instantly, and her neck was quickly stained with a layer of pink.
At the same time, Baiyunshan, who was hiding in the quilt, was also complaining secretly. As soon as he got into the quilt, he noticed that the size of the quilt was obviously not consistent with his body shape. Thinking of the situation in the study room last night, he understood everything instantly.
But it was obviously impossible to escape at this time. I had no choice but to shrink my body, praying secretly in my heart that no problem would be seen. Who would have thought that the girl would get into the quilt so quickly.
There was not much space on the bed, so in order to avoid being seen, the two of them could only stick together. Hashimoto Nana was only wearing simple pajamas. Although it looked like nothing, it was different when they were close together. I don't know if the warm body temperature is due to a cold or shyness, but it has almost reached the point of being hot. Along with the faint body fragrance of the girl, my heart is shaking, and my body is so stiff that I can't even move. arrive.
At this moment, Mrs. Hashimoto, who had come back to her senses, also noticed that her daughter had returned to the bed and covered herself with a quilt. She lowered her head and looked like she didn't know what she was thinking. She couldn't help but curiously said: "Nanamin , why did you lie back down so quickly?"
"It's...it's cold outside--"
Nana Hashimoto bit her lip and whispered.
Mrs. Hashimoto was slightly surprised when she noticed that her daughter's voice was slightly trembling, but then she didn't think much about it and nodded.
Indeed, Nanamin seemed to be only wearing pajamas just now. It would be strange if she wasn't cold——
Thinking of this, Mrs. Hashimoto couldn't help but take a closer look at her daughter's slightly blushing face, which seemed to be getting hot, and she felt a little guilty.
He knew clearly that Nana was still allergic to a cold, but he still urged her to get up and open the door at night. If her daughter is sick and wants to sleep more, just let her sleep more. She should get more rest at this time. If it happens because of My sudden thought made my cold worse again, which would be bad——
"Mom, mom...don't you have something to say to me? Can you say it now -"
The sound like a gnat brought Mrs. Hashimoto's thoughts back. She only thought her daughter was shy because of what she had said just now. She couldn't help but feel a little funny when she heard the words, and deliberately teased: "Why are you shy? That Baiyun-san is not here. Are you still worried that he will hear you?"
More than worried, he has heard it...
Hashimoto Nana glanced resentfully at the quilt covering her body. Even if she couldn't see what was going on inside, she could guess that someone under the quilt must have pricked up her ears early and listened to what was coming next. dialogue.
So he quickly said: "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I...I'm tired and want to rest early -"
It could be seen that her daughter's face was indeed tired. Mrs. Hashimoto also put away the teasing on her face and pondered for a while, then said seriously: "Okay. Nanamin, mommy will ask you a question now. Please answer it honestly." Am I okay?"
Nana Hashimoto just wanted to end this period as soon as possible, so she shook her head and said a good word honestly.
"Well... what is your relationship with that Baiyun-san... exactly?"
Mrs. Hashimoto stared at her daughter's expression closely and asked slowly.
Hashimoto Nana's expression froze, and she noticed that someone in the quilt seemed to have a similar reaction to her own. Her mood suddenly became complicated, and she pursed her lips slightly and said nothing.
It can be seen that this question is indeed difficult to answer. Mrs. Hashimoto sighed silently in her heart and did not rush to rush. Instead, after thinking about it, she said: "My mother was there when he came that day. Although she didn't know what happened between you." What happened between them, but the relationship must be extraordinary, right?"
"..."
Nana Hashimoto still didn’t speak.
Mrs. Hashimoto's eyes softened. She could see that her daughter had been under heavy pressure since she came back from Tokyo, and the question she asked now was an attempt to relieve or aggravate it. Due to the pressure, if you are not careful, the situation will worsen, so you cannot help but be careless.
So he changed his approach and said warmly: "Let's do this. Mom will ask you another question, do you... like that Baiyun Sang?"
Hashimoto Nana's body trembled, and she subconsciously wanted to deny it, but in her mind, every detail of their relationship over the past year flashed through her mind, including the lantern festival, the fireworks display, the plum wine on the rooftop, and so on. The sound of reading in the evening... Finally, the beauty and satisfaction of New Year's Eve flashed through, but I couldn't open my mouth.
Silently, tears filled my eyes.
Finally, give a slight nod.
"Um."
"I feel the same way."
Mrs. Hashimoto looked at her daughter's red eyes with distress, a smile on her face, gently touched her head, wiped the tears on her cheeks, and murmured: "Since you wrote to me, you mentioned I felt this way from the first day he met me. Until you suddenly came back a few days ago and he also chased me here, I became even more sure. After all...he had already said it. Isn’t it——”
Hashimoto Nana didn't know that what she was talking about was Baiyunshan's desperate revelation, so her face turned slightly red, but when she heard her mother's next question, she couldn't help but turn pale.
Mrs. Hashimoto said softly.
"Then...does he like you?"
Nana Hashimoto bit her lip and fell into silence with a blank expression on her face. If she wanted to ask Baiyunshan whether he liked her, she would naturally know this question better than anyone else, and she was more confident than anyone else in being able to tell the answer.
But now, she couldn't say it.
Like it? Maybe, but he had already left without saying goodbye, and he left the same night after he confessed his love. Anyone else would definitely be angry, right? And he did act very angry and chased him all the way here, wanting to take him back.
So, does he still like himself?
Hashimoto Nana found that she was suddenly a little uncertain.
Maybe you like it. After all, if you don't like it, you won't be able to come here. But who do you have to say this answer complacently? In front of him, she said shamelessly that he still liked her, but it was clear that the relationship between the two was vague and complicated now, and no one could explain clearly.
How ridiculous...
The corners of Nana Hashimoto's mouth were filled with bitterness, she smiled self-deprecatingly, and remained silent for a long time.
At this moment, she suddenly felt someone gently grasp her wrist under the quilt, and the warmth was scorching.
Then, a finger moved gently and slowly in the girl's soft and white palm, seeming to outline something.
Hashimoto Nana's heart tightened, and she subconsciously wanted to break away, but she soon noticed something. She was slightly startled, and felt the quietly sliding finger carefully.
That's writing.
She followed the trajectory and felt word by word, and finally discovered that it was a very simple sentence.
She heard this sentence twice.
Once, a strong wind blew in front of the tunnel where the tram passed.
Once on that lawn on New Year’s Eve, there was heavy snowfall.
"Okay, き, で, す——"
