"Yesterday, last night——"
Baiyunshan's heart skipped a beat, but there was no fluctuation on his face. He looked as usual and said calmly: "I was in the study last night, where else can I rest?"
I believe you!
Mrs. Hashimoto looked strange. She clearly heard him leaving in the study last night, so how could she believe what he said.
However, although she was confused about this matter, Mrs. Hashimoto never thought that the other party actually stayed in the same room with her daughter all night. She just thought that he might have somewhere else to go.
But there was nothing she could do about his act of biting him to death. After all, she couldn't directly say that she was in the study that night. This would undoubtedly be self-inflicted. And if you knock on the door and don't hear a response, the other party can obviously explain it by saying that you're asleep or something like that -
So I could only pretend not to know: "Really? Then... Mr. Baiyun really went to bed early last night -"
Of course, Baiyunshan could only make a fuss and plan to deal with it vaguely.
At this moment, a faint voice came from upstairs.
"Mom...what happened? It's so noisy-"
Looking back, it was a certain Hokkaido girl who had woken up. She was walking down the stairs, rubbing her eyes with a sleepy look and asking questions.
"Ah...nothing, nothing-"
Seeing her daughter appear, Mrs. Hashimoto quickly raised her hands with a smile, swallowed her original plan, stood up, and walked towards the kitchen: "Nanamin, you came just in time, what do you young people have? Let's talk slowly, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast first... It's strange, why is Kenta still not awake at this time today? He got up later than his sister - "
He muttered and walked away.
Baiyunshan watched her leave. He turned around and saw a cold-looking girl standing not far away. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Nanamin...why did you wake up so early?" Already? Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”
"There's so much noise downstairs, it's hard not to wake up—"
Hashimoto Nana shook her head, then glanced at him with a somewhat unnatural expression, looked down at the slippers on her feet, and said: "And if I don't come down and ask again, you will accidentally let it slip. I accidentally revealed a word or two about what happened last night——"
"But nothing happened to us last night!"
Baiyunshan said quickly.
Hashimoto Nana looked at him for two seconds with squinted eyes, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Would you believe this?"
"Well--"
Baiyunshan was immediately speechless.
Indeed, if he were replaced by Mrs. Hashimoto, her daughter and a man, especially a man who seemed to have a somewhat unclear and ambiguous relationship with her daughter, would be in the same room or even on the same page. Staying in bed all night and nothing happens, this kind of thing...
It’s really hard to believe——
"Okay, it's okay. Just be more careful in the future and don't let anything slip—"
Hashimoto Nana ended the matter neatly, but then bit her lower lip slightly with some hesitation, and finally faced him and lowered her head slightly to express her gratitude, and whispered: "In addition, just now Thank you..."
What just happened?
Baiyunshan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what she was talking about was what he had just discussed with Mrs. Hashimoto. He subconsciously opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the girl spoke first.
"But although I am very grateful for your help, I have not promised you to go back and continue to be an idol. This is just your own decision without my consent-"
Hashimoto Nana looked at him with some dissatisfaction, and her cheeks bulged unconsciously. She was obviously very annoyed with his self-assertion. After thinking about it hesitantly, she pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "To be more specific, I will do something else in the future." Once you find a job, I will take part of my salary and pay it back to you slowly..."
"How long will it take?"
Baiyunshan couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"That's your business!"
Nana Hashimoto glared at him in shame, knowing that she didn't have the confidence to say these words now, but she had no choice.
He could only turn his head away, sigh softly, and said in a low voice: "I have no choice now, Baiyun Sang... I beg you, please don't force me, okay... ."
There was a rare hint of tenderness and pleading in his tone.
Baiyunshan thought of his experiences in the past few days and the girl's weak back yesterday, and his heart suddenly softened. No matter how uncomfortable and awkward she is, the girl in front of her must be more than less. This situation is already the biggest concession she can make at present——
It's obviously not something that can be done in a day or two to make her completely change her mind, but now it's enough to make her waver and try to make a choice, isn't it?
If you continue to push and force the other party to make a choice, it will only be counterproductive and push it further.
"Feel sorry......"
Baiyunshan apologized.
"Forget it...it's not your fault, Baiyun-sang—"
In the final analysis, Hashimoto Nana is still a calm, objective and calm person. She quickly broke away from her low mood, shook her head and said calmly, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait...uh, where are you going?"
Baiyunshan quickly called her.
Hashimoto Nana looked at him strangely and said naturally: "Brush your teeth, wash your face, rest, and read a book. After all, it's still a long time before breakfast, right? You can't just sit here like this, right?"
Baiyunshan thought about it, and then he remembered that it was actually still early, and even a certain Hashimoto brother hadn't woken up yet, but the girl's appearance made him mistakenly think that it was very late——
But soon he noticed a detail and his heart moved.
"By the way, Nanamin, you said before that you woke up because of the movement downstairs, but before that..."
Thinking of his actions after waking up, Baiyunshan paused and could not continue, but his eyes could not help but have a hint of exploration.
Hashimoto Nana's face turned red inexplicably, but she soon realized that her reaction was undoubtedly proving something. She quickly turned her back to him: "How did I know what happened before that? You ask me What is this doing? It’s inexplicable——”
"But--"
"No buts! Okay, I...I'm tired. I'm going back to rest first. You can sit down alone...I'm leaving -"
After saying that, he went upstairs as if running away.
Only one person in Baiyun Mountain was left standing there stunned.
After a while, Baiyunshan came back to his senses and rubbed his cheeks with a strange expression. Although the girl didn't admit it, and she couldn't even let herself see her suspicious expression, it seemed like she was not asking for trouble just by looking at it——
So, he kissed her while she was awake?
But why did Nanamin not only not hide, but also pretend to sleep——
Savoring the hidden meaning, the corners of Baiyunshan's mouth could not help but slowly rise, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
