This is a relatively remote corner of the park near the periphery.
The bustling crowd, separated by the grass, trees and winding roads, could still vaguely hear the playful and shrill laughter of children if you raised your ears. It seemed a bit dim at the moment, as if the background sound of the TV was playing, making people vaguely feel like they were in a dream. in the illusion.
Listening to such a voice, Shiraishi Mai felt inexplicably calm, her eyes silently paying attention to the buds in front of her.
Pink and white flower buds hang out from the slender branches, and the flowers next to them have already opened, leaving little petals as the spring breeze blows. It swirled around and landed on skirts, shoes, and the ground. It looked really good.
From this angle, what is reflected in the pupils, apart from the lovely flower buds, is only the clear blue sky, as clean as a bright canvas, without any dust. After a long time, a slender aircraft cloud slowly flew by, dividing the sky in half.
However, she didn't care at all. She raised her head and stretched out her hand to gently touch the delicate bud. The wind was strong and weak, and it accidentally messed up the girl's hair and scratched her face, causing itchiness, but it soon returned to calm.
Mai Shiraishi has been waiting here for about three minutes.
Three minutes ago, Baiyunshan took her to a convenience store to buy some food. However, when he passed by, he asked her to wait for him here for a while and said he would be back soon. Although the girl didn't know what he wanted to do, she didn't mean to ask specifically, but calmly nodded in agreement.
So, three minutes passed like this.
Three minutes, neither long nor short.
If you were a former mayonnaise star, you would definitely be uneasy and worried about someone's actions at this moment. But for Mai Shiraishi at this time, after she had made up her mind to make that decision, all other complicated and turbulent emotions were invisibly excluded by her.
All that's left is waiting.
Including when she heard her name under the tree, the girl was just a little surprised. She was surprised that someone would choose to let her go with him at this time. Because according to common sense, it should be Nanamin, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit abnormal——
But, it doesn't matter anymore.
Whether it was abnormal or there was another reason, it had nothing to do with the girl's next plan, and she had no intention of worrying about the reason. Nowadays, she is more like a bow and arrow that is fully stretched. Once it is shot, there is no intention of looking back.
Extra thoughts will only distract your attention and determination, and make you waver. Shiraishi Mai doesn't want to waver, nor does she want to hesitate any longer.
She has decided.
Another gust of breeze blew across my face.
The branches trembled and the shadow was cut into two parts.
However, the difference this time was that as the wind blew up, the sound of footsteps could be heard leisurely.
If Shiraishi Mai felt something, she turned her head and looked following the footsteps, just in time to see Baiyunshan walking slowly towards her from the corner of the road.
He was holding several large plastic bags in his right hand, which were bulging into a ball. They were obviously filled with things needed for this trip. The left hand is holding a small bag, and a little fragrance spreads from the gaps in the bag.
Noticing the questioning look in the girl's eyes, Baiyunshan raised the bag in his left hand and said, "When I was shopping, I saw something you liked, so I heated it up and brought it back."
These words were very clever. Since it was not clear whether the question in the girl's eyes was asking why the time was delayed or what was in the bag, Baiyunshan simply answered both questions in one sentence.
When he came to the girl, he gently placed the bag in his right hand on the bench by the roadside. He opened the bag with his left hand, took out the contents and handed it to the girl.
"Chicken skewers, croquettes, fried chicken, take your pick."
You can't see the heat emitted by the food during the day, but you can feel it on your skin. When the wind blows, the heat moistens your fingers, which makes the feeling even more obvious.
"Thanks."
Shiraishi Mai paused for a moment, as if she didn't expect the other party's move. After a brief reaction, she thanked him softly.
"You're welcome, sit down and eat."
After Bai Yunshan watched the other party take one of the items, he randomly selected a box of fried chicken, sat down, unpacked and ate it. It wasn't because he was hungry too, but because he understood that if one person eats and watches alone, the person eating would feel a bit awkward no matter what, so they simply ate together.
The girl obviously thought of this. Although she didn't say anything, the corners of her mouth pursed slightly unconsciously.
"Is it tasty?"
"Um."
"That's good."
The simple conversation was blown away by the wind and dissipated in the air.
The two of them sat on the bench in tacit understanding, separated by a lot of things they had just bought, and ate in silence. The food was still hot and fragrant not long after it was heated.
The quiet air seemed to be brewing something, and it seemed like the calm before the storm. But looking up at the clear blue sky, with petals flying and falling all around, everything seemed like an illusion, and the feeling of having a half-day of leisure emerged spontaneously. .
Finally, the girl couldn't help but speak.
"...Baiyun-san."
"Um?"
"Is it okay if we just sit here and eat?"
"I think...it shouldn't matter-"
Although Baiyunshan said this, his tone was obviously not firm and hesitant. After all, there are several foodies coming together this time. If they know that they are starving while they are eating and drinking here slowly, you can imagine what will happen next——
But in the blink of an eye, this idea was forgotten by him again, and he smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter if it's later. You almost didn't eat anything just now, so it's good to eat a little now to supplement it."
Mai Shiraishi's movements stopped for a moment.
After a few seconds of silence, he whispered: "So you noticed it, Baiyun Sang."
"I'm not blind, of course I noticed it."
Baiyunshan shrugged, still eating fried chicken by himself, and said: "Just drinking is not enough. It is easy to get drunk if you don't eat anything. I don't know what is on your mind, but I see what you didn't say. She didn't want to do such annoying things, so she didn't take the initiative to do such annoying things. So after thinking about it, she could only ask her to eat something to cushion her stomach. If she has something to worry about, she can't ruin her body. You said Right--"
The girl fell silent again.
Speaking of this, Baiyunshan hesitated for a moment, but still chose to speak and confessed: "Actually...the reason why I specifically called you out alone is, in addition to what I said before, Hashimoto reminded me Tell me, you seem to be acting a little weird lately——"
"I don't know exactly what caused you to become like this. It may be because of the selection, or it may be because of something else, but I can tell that you must be under pressure, and it must be very hard."
"I'm not arrogant enough to think that I can definitely help you solve your problem. It's just that as your agent, at this time, I feel it's my responsibility to help you share your hard work, that's all."
The wind suddenly stopped.
The sound of children playing in the distance became clear again. The trembling flower buds on the branches swayed slowly because of the sudden stop, and a wisp of petals floated to the girl's feet.
Mai Shiraishi withdrew her gaze, looked at the withered petals, and suddenly whispered: "Liar."
"Um?"
Baiyunshan didn't react for a moment and looked at her in surprise.
"Bai Yunsang, liar."
The girl's voice was still as low as ever, but what she said left Bai Yunshan confused. He couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, scratching his head and saying, "What, what's wrong? Why did I become a liar?"
"Because you are a liar!"
Mai Shiraishi raised her head, her eyes were red and full of crystal tears, but her voice was as aggrieved as a child who had already seen through the adult's lies, and said in a hoarse voice: "You are going to leave soon, right, Baiyun mulberry?"
