"I think he likes you."
Mrs. Hashimoto did not notice her daughter's obviously strange expression at this time, but sighed to herself.
"If he doesn't like it, why does he have to come so far during the Chinese New Year just to persuade you to go back? And you can't deceive someone if he likes someone. From the first time he looked at you when he came to our house I have been able to conclude this from the beginning. So Nanamin, I believe in my mother’s judgment, that Baiyun-sang must still like you——"
"Mom knows that you have always been very opinionated, and you will never change the things you have decided. But, since he likes you and you like him, then why-"
Having said this, Mrs. Hashimoto subconsciously looked at her daughter, only to find that she was silent and in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Hashimoto just thought that she still didn't listen and sighed helplessly. I secretly thought that if I continued talking, it might have the opposite effect. Since I came here with the idea of giving it a try, I might as well stop ordering.
So he opened his mouth, but changed it to comfort.
"Forget it, since you are tired too, let's stop talking about it today——"
Hashimoto Nana didn't come back to her senses, and looked at her in shock, as if she didn't expect this sudden ending.
"Go to rest early. If you feel any discomfort, just call your mother and tell her. Don't hold on by yourself, you know?"
Mrs. Hashimoto, however, did not notice anything strange. Instead, she spoke with the usual gentle concern. After saying that, she stood up, came to the door, and opened the door.
Nana Hashimoto bit her lower lip gently, then nodded slowly.
"I know, Mom."
"That's it, good night."
"Good night."
The door made a slight noise and closed again.
The room fell into silence again.
But the remaining two people in the room could detect that a strange atmosphere that was different from before was shrouding the bedroom under the dim light.
"...Still not coming out?"
After a while, Hashimoto Nana still didn't feel the increasingly hot temperature in the quilt, and her cheeks became redder and redder with time. Finally, she couldn't bear the embarrassing situation and took the initiative to speak.
"You told me earlier, I thought my aunt was still eavesdropping outside the door——"
Baiyunshan's lazy voice came from the quilt. The voice seemed a bit dull through the quilt, but at this moment, it made the girl feel an inexplicable urge to hit someone——
How could there be such a mean person...
Naturally, his mind recalled the comments of a certain mayonnaise star from his oldest relative. Hashimoto Nana gritted his teeth and lifted the quilt. The figure of someone who had been hidden inside was now clearly visible. .
Forcibly suppressing the embarrassment in her chest, Hashimoto Nana took a deep breath and said coldly: "Is it comfortable to hide in there? You can't bear to leave even though everyone is gone——"
"Uh... not bad."
Baiyunshan touched his chin and said with a strange expression: "The bed is very soft, very warm, and smells very good... It's just that the quilt is a bit short, and you have to turn sideways to cover your whole body -"
"you--"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, it was just a joke."
Seeing that the girl seemed really angry, Bai Yunshan quickly stopped and explained: "The most important thing is not to worry about the possibility that the person has not gone far. If someone hears it, won't all the efforts be wasted? And there is no need for you to lift the quilt. , I already have a cold. It would be terrible if the condition worsens——"
If my condition really gets worse, I will be angry with you...
Hashimoto Nana secretly cursed, but the other person's words were also a sign of concern. Her face quickly returned to calm, the flush on her neck dissipated, and she said calmly: "Okay, Baiyun-san, since everything is fine, you can Let’s go down first.”
"Go down? Where?"
Baiyunshan looked confused.
Knowing that this guy was pretending to be stupid again, Hashimoto Nana learned the lesson from the last time and did not rush to attack. Instead, she took a deep breath and said calmly: "Take the blanket, go downstairs, and then ask for Sleep on the sofa, sleep on the sofa, sleep on the kotatsu, sleep on the kotatsu, whatever you choose——"
The words were spoken clearly and clearly, leaving no chance for confusion.
But she obviously underestimated this guy's face: "Go to sleep downstairs? Why go downstairs to sleep on the sofa and kotatsu when you have a bed to sleep on? You even ran out on purpose. How embarrassing would it be if you were caught in the middle of the night -"
Wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone found you in my room?
Hashimoto Nana complained inwardly, but in the face of this rogue trick, she felt powerless and completely helpless.
After all, you can’t beat him, right? But judging from the rough skin and thick flesh of the other party, he was still ill. I was afraid that he would have fallen down before he could cause any harm to him——
Baiyunshan took the opportunity to put an end to this argument at the speed of lightning: "If you don't say anything, I will take it as your acquiescence. Huh~ Nanamin still cares about me. She knows that I am not used to sleeping on the sofa. And Kotatsu, who was willing to take me in when no one was looking after me——"
"What kind of shelter? You're talking like a stray dog -"
Hashimoto Nana stared at him helplessly, and finally bit her lower lip hesitantly for a while, turning her head slightly to avoid being seen the blush on her cheeks, and whispered: "You can sleep here if you want, but I can't make it anyway." You're leaving..."
The voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke, but in someone's ears it was as loud as the thunder that stung the insects, making his eyes light up and everything in his heart revive.
Baiyunshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. A girl's characteristic is to be hard-spoken and soft-hearted, but so is thin-skinned. When the two conflict, even he is difficult to determine how the girl will choose, so don't look at his appearance just now. Relaxed, but actually feeling uneasy inside.
Fortunately, the girl's choice now proves that his judgment was correct.
So she immediately patted her chest and spoke righteously: "Don't worry, Nanamin, I'm just sleeping on the same bed. Just use a blanket to separate the quilts. I will never move around after I fall asleep at night!" "
Hashimoto Nana looked at him with a strange face after hearing this, saying nothing, but her eyes were obviously mixed with ridicule and suspicion.
Baiyunshan's face instantly turned hot, and he knew that his words had no real value, and were completely the classic words of a scumbag. It’s almost the same as those so-called “I’ll hold you and never move, I’ll just nuzzle you so I can’t get in”. It’s normal for a girl to have this attitude——
So he coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject: "At least you haven't moved around since just now, right? And by the way, you liked me just now...is it true?"
Having said this, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
Hashimoto Nana's face turned red and she turned her head away, not daring to look into his eyes, but she was afraid that he would pursue her, so she could only panic and pull the quilt over her head to lie down, turning her back to him and muttering.
"It's getting late, it's time to go to sleep...Baiyun-san——"
Although there was no answer, Baiyunshan didn't care. Instead, looking at the girl's panicked shyness, the smile on his face became even brighter.
Then, he also lay down slowly, sniffing the faint scent of the girl and the quilt, looking at the ceiling, seeming to be sighing, but speaking firmly in a tone of voice.
"What I said is true, Nanamin."
