"Are...afraid of you? Are you?"
These words were like a thunderclap. Shiraishi Mai's heart jumped, her eyes wandered, and her face became nervous unconsciously.
What's the meaning? Did Baiyun Sang discover something?
The girl felt uneasy and couldn't help but think wildly.
Could it be that he knew what he had eavesdropped on that night? But he never disclosed it to anyone, so how did he know?
Or was it guessed based on other clues... But if that's the case, then what's the purpose of saying this now, so that he can take the initiative to confess? Or do you plan to explain the situation and the truth to yourself? It doesn’t make sense——
After some speculation, I still couldn't figure out the reason.
Baiyunshan slowly spoke.
"Of course, especially now."
"Now, now?"
"yes."
Bai Yunshan looked at her nervous expression and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart. He knew that the girl in front of him was timid and timid, but he never expected that she would be so timid.
Naturally, he couldn't guess what was going on in the girl's mind. He only thought that the other party felt nervous because the two of them were in the same room and the atmosphere was a bit special.
So he shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, even if you are alone now, I won't do anything to you, don't be so nervous-"
Alone and alone?
Mai Shiraishi was startled for a moment, then realized the meaning of his words, her face turned red, and she couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment.
What is he talking about, this guy! I...when did I ever think about those things? !
If it weren't for that night, I overheard the secret that you might be leaving soon, I would have settled the score with you! He actually dares to attack Nana Min, he is simply a scumbag! I should have tried to persuade Nanamin more from the beginning... No, I should have been by her side and keeping an eye on her! Otherwise, I wouldn’t let a guy like you take advantage of it——
Baiyunshan was completely unaware of these psychological activities. Seeing the girl's face turn red, he thought he had exposed his inner thoughts and showed shyness, and couldn't help but laugh.
'You still said no, isn't it clearly shown on your face...'
Noticing his smile, Shiraishi Mai was even more angry, but she couldn't get angry, so she could only gnash her teeth secretly. What someone just said rang in my ears, and my face couldn't help but feel slightly hot. I hummed in my heart, thinking quietly.
'Besides, of course you won't do this to me. You would only do that to Nanamin...'
But when she thought about the scenes she spied that night, the girl felt irritable for no reason, and her mood suddenly took a turn for the worse.
A certain Hokkaido girl is her good friend, but maybe the relationship is not the best or the closest... After all, if we talk about the best relatives and friends, Hashimoto Nana is obviously closer to Mai Mai, and in her words, Matsumura Sa Friendly——
But he is undoubtedly one of her most valued friends since joining the group.
This kind of emotion is very complex, mixed with friendship and sympathy between partners. At the same time, the other person is a goal that she cherishes and even respects, and she wants to pursue her side by side.
It is precisely because of this that, unlike the usual fights with a certain silly apple, the girl's attitude towards Nanamin is much more correct. To use a not-so-appropriate metaphor, a certain silly apple is a close best friend who laughs and jokes with each other on weekdays, and Nanamin is the one she has a crush on in the class——
As for a certain salted fish, this is much simpler.
From the initial feeling of strangeness caused by the fear of strangers, we gradually became familiar with each other and the relationship became harmonious. Although someone has always been bullying her, the girl knows very well that this is just an appearance, just like a joke between good friends, no one will take it seriously. Go to the bottom of your heart.
In addition, someone's care for them, their attentiveness, and their performance in all aspects are obvious to all. It can be said that for girls to have the great environment today, in addition to their own efforts, someone is naturally indispensable, and even accounts for a very important proportion——
Coupled with certain accidents that have happened... In short, the girl's feelings about him, in addition to the initial friendship, gratitude, peace of mind and other feelings, the goodwill gradually accumulates as they get along with each other on weekdays, but I didn't even notice it myself.
But now, these two people obviously have a relationship that goes beyond the relationship between an ordinary manager and a young idol. How can this not make her feel mixed?
Both of them are people she cares about, Nanamin goes without saying. Although the guy in front of her is sometimes annoying when he makes fun of herself, most of the time he is still very reliable and reassuring. But now what happened to these two people... But because the other person might be leaving, I couldn't speak out, so I could only keep all the discomfort and depression in my heart——
In her heart, Mai Shiraishi couldn't help complaining about a certain Hokkaido girl. It doesn't matter if you find someone I don't know! At most, I just pretended that I didn't know, or I just couldn't bear it any more, so I ran over and scolded him righteously to vent my anger. What's the big deal now...
The thoughts in his brain and his mood became bad, but when he glanced at someone in the room, he couldn't get angry at him, so he could only exhale helplessly and speak.
"Bai Yunsang, is there anything else?"
Baiyunshan looked a little surprised. The subtext of this sentence was very clear. It was obviously an order to expel guests. But what surprised him was not the content of the sentence, but the girl's tone——
Sounds a little irritable and mean...what's going on? Did you offend her somewhere?
Facing the girl's eyes, Baiyunshan came back to his senses and nodded hurriedly: "Oh... nothing happened. But you are sure you won't go to the celebration tonight, right?"
"Um."
Shiraishi Mai nodded slightly, a complicated look flashed in her eyes. She really didn't know what to do now and had to think of a solution. This kind of party might reveal flaws or even let someone slip by accident. Of course, forget it——
"Then...since we won't go to the celebration, we should all go to Ueno Park to enjoy the cherry blossoms together in a while, right?"
Baiyunshan tried.
"Viewing cherry blossoms?"
Mai Shiraishi's expression changed. Yes, it's already April, and it's time for the cherry blossoms to bloom in Tokyo. The scenery in Ueno Park must be particularly beautiful.
However, thinking of the concerns just now, I still wanted to refuse, but when I accidentally glanced at someone's eyes, my heart was immediately shocked.
no! I can't refuse anymore. I was feeling uncomfortable just now, but I definitely won't be able to do it now. After all, who can predict whether or not he will feel well in a few days? If you refuse again, it will obviously be counterproductive and arouse suspicion——
So after hesitating for a moment, he nodded slightly.
"If I don't have any busy work, I should go..."
"That'll do-"
Hearing the softening in the girl's tone, which was obviously much better than before, Baiyunshan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, and reassured: "I looked at your schedule, there should be no work that day. , it happens to be a holiday, you can use it to rest, it’s just right to go and enjoy the cherry blossoms.”
After a few more words of concern, he confirmed that the girl was only slightly unwell and that Baiyunshan would continue to disturb her until she rested, so he turned around and left quickly without staying any longer.
Mai Shiraishi silently watched him leave. She watched him leave the apartment, come downstairs, and drive his car away at the end of the street corner before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After being dazed for a while, I felt a little lonely and lonely for some reason.
The girl quickly shook her head, and in order to divert her attention, she began to unpack the cartons and luggage, and tidied up the room bit by bit. It took almost half an hour before she was basically done.
But my mood still hasn't improved.
The golden sunshine outside the floor-to-ceiling windows has gradually dimmed, gradually sinking in the direction away from Baiyun Mountain. There are only a few wisps of clouds in the gray-blue sky, and the neon lights downstairs light up one by one.
Mai Shiraishi was silent for a long time, then turned around and opened the door and walked out.
