In the darkness, Shiraishi Mai sighed quietly, her tone could not tell whether it was emotion or depression, and she muttered to herself.
"I really didn't expect it to be like this..."
"What?"
While exploring the way with a flashlight, Baiyunshan tilted his head slightly as he lowered his head and thought about where a certain Hokkaido girl might be waiting for him next.
He can be said to be very busy at this time. He has to carry a certain girl around in the maze of the haunted house, trying to remember the walking route, and he also has to pay attention to whether there are any staff around who may be hiding, so as not to suddenly jump out and scare his back. Jump on the girl. It can be said that multi-tasking was used to the extreme. For a moment, I couldn't hear the girl's voice clearly.
"I said... I didn't expect this to be the case."
Mai Shiraishi repeated it in a low voice. Someone was carrying her forward. The girl felt as if she didn't need to do anything. A sense of dependence and security came to her heart. Gently put half of your cheek against the other person's back, as if you could hear the strong heartbeat on the other side, and said softly: "In the beginning, I asked you and Nanamin to come to Fuji-Qi's compound plan to create this kind of relationship. Chance--"
"Create opportunities?"
Baiyunshan was stunned for a moment and understood the meaning of her words.
"Yes, since Fuji-Q is so big, there will always be similar opportunities. If it doesn't work, there are restaurants or other places -"
The girl whispered: "But who knew that you would actually choose a haunted house. In the end, the plan for Nanamin and your reconciliation was not fulfilled. Instead, I showed up here, as if..."
At this point, Shiraishi Mai hesitated, hesitated for a moment and did not continue, but remained silent in the darkness.
Baiyunshan could not clearly see the expression of the girl on his back, but based on the previous words, it was not difficult to guess what she wanted to say. The dim light in the corridor of the haunted house shone randomly on his face, and his expression was as complex as light and shadow for an instant, and he couldn't tell what he was feeling.
'It's like... I replaced Nana Min-"
This sentence sounded in the hearts of both of them at the same time. .
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle. I have to say that this is indeed the case at the moment, but neither of them found it easy to speak.
Shiraishi Mai was worried that he might think that she might have done this on purpose, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was inevitably suspected of being self-inflicted, and the paint became darker and darker. Therefore, she could only keep her mouth shut tightly, thinking about the possible meeting with her Nanamin later, and her mood was mixed again.
Baiyunshan has the same concerns. There are some things that would be self-defeating if spoken out. It is better to remain silent, at least for the moment.
So in the following time, Baiyun Mountain moved forward non-stop, relying on experience and keen judgment along the way to cleverly avoid the ambushes of several staff members, without being surprised like before. _o_m When encountering a scary mechanism that requires manual operation, he also tells the girl on his back to close her eyes in advance and not look at it. After opening it, she quickly passes through it and heads towards the target without looking back.
After walking like this for a while, the atmosphere seemed to be gradually breaking away from the subtlety just now. After Baiyunshan thought for a while, he slowly said: "Baishi."
"Um?"
"When you find Nanamin next, you can follow the staff and ask him to take you out. There is no need to continue to follow us."
"Eh--"
Mai Shiraishi's eyes widened suddenly, and she suddenly raised her head from lying on someone's back. She thought that her worries just now turned into reality. Baiyunshan really thought that she might have done this on purpose, and hurriedly She opened her mouth to explain, but heard him continue.
"I understand what you are thinking, and I also understand that you don't mean it. Don't worry -"
Baiyunshan said lightly. The girl couldn't see his face clearly. She could only judge a trace from the unhurried tone: "It's just that the reunion plan or something, in fact, as long as I confess to Nanamin, she I definitely understand what you mean, so there’s no need for any planning.”
"Confess? No!"
As soon as she heard this word, Shiraishi Mai immediately objected and looked anxious.
Baiyun Mountain. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 96: Complex
But his tone was still calm: "Why not? I have said it before, haven't I? We have no conflicts in the first place, and there is no separation, so naturally there is no need for reconciliation. I believe Nanamin thinks so too. , as long as you tell her frankly, she will definitely be happy to help -"
"Anyway... it just doesn't work!"
Mai Shiraishi's face turned red. This time she came out in a hurry and said, "You promised me. This is my first condition. Everything should go according to my plan!"
"But is our current situation also what you planned?"
Baiyunshan asked back.
This sentence immediately silenced the girl. Shiraishi Mai opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
Yes, this so-called compound plan went astray from the beginning.
In fact, how could it not go astray? For a girl to plan for another girl who is also her close relative to get back together with someone she knows and likes, at first glance, you can see that there are many flaws in the logic. The reason why it appears is just because of the girl's own complex and tangled emotions, resulting in compromise and self-comfort.
There are some important issues that are being ignored.
Maybe it's unintentional, or maybe I just don't dare to think about it and can only choose to escape. In a route full of confusion and entanglement, the only seemingly feasible and comforting path for the two to reunite appeared in front of her. It was like a life-saving straw appearing in front of a drowning person, and she grabbed it regardless of the cost. Go up. @ESSENTIAL\/SHUKEG·No mistake first release~~
As for whether this life-saving straw is strong and whether it will be disconnected in the next second, the girl has no time to think about it——
But now, Baiyunshan calmly broke through this fragile disguise and presented this cruel reality in front of her once again.
Still so sad.
...
After a while, Shiraishi Mai regained her mood, the anxiety and loss on her face disappeared, and gradually turned into calm.
She said, "I know what you mean, Baiyun Sang. If you think this way, you are indeed doing me a favor. At least, you can achieve my original goal without spending so much effort."
"but--"
Having said this, the girl lay on his back again as before, leaning on her cheek gently, as if she was attached to the most reassuring thing in the world, and murmured softly: "But I like you, Baiyun Sang, I really like you. ...Even if you make fun of me and tease me, I still like you. It is the most unreasonable to like this kind of thing, just like I am so cowardly, but I still endured it when I saw you and Nanamin entering the haunted house just now. I couldn’t help but follow him in, even I couldn’t believe it myself.”
"But, just because I like someone doesn't mean that person will definitely like me. Things in the world are always like this, so what can I do? There's no other way. I can only hide it in my heart silently and tell him every night By yourself, it's enough to comfort yourself that you actually like it, and it's okay if you don't have anything else. Until I found out about you and Nanamin..."
