The light on the ceiling flickered in the cup, but the atmosphere in the apartment was as calm and harmonious as the faint heat coming from the coffee.
It's strange. According to Xiao Feiniao's own feeling, the anxiety and fear that came along the way should not be as calm as now. But the fact is that, except for crying for a while when they first met, the girl's mood was full of peace of mind, as if as long as the guy in front of her still existed in front of her, she didn't need to worry about anything.
It wasn't until I heard someone talking about the bouquet of flowers that I finally remembered why I felt uneasy after waking up and why I was so desperate to find the other person.
Yes, I came here just to say something...
However, at this time, after crying during the meeting, the courage in the girl's heart gradually disappeared. She hesitated for a long time, but could not find the opportunity to speak for a while.
Unexpectedly, Baiyunshan unexpectedly took the initiative to bring up the topic she wanted to talk about.
"Also, regarding what was said in the car today—"
Baiyunshan suddenly spoke, his face looking quite complicated for a moment. He paused for a while, then focused his eyes on the girl in front of him again, and made a solemn announcement.
"I might not leave."
"What?!"
The energy of this sentence was stronger than anything else. In an instant, Xiao Feiniao even suspected that his ears were hallucinating, otherwise how could he hear the guy in front of him say this sentence.
It wasn't until he was stunned for several seconds that he finally reacted, his mouth wide open, his face full of disbelief, and he stammered: "No, no, you're not leaving? Why -"
The reaction was exactly the same as that of the girl in some mayonnaise star's apartment a few hours ago.
"What, you...don't look very happy?"
Baiyunshan said hesitantly.
"Of course not! I'm surprised!"
Xiao Feiniao jumped and argued: "And Baiyun-sang, didn't you agree? The handover of the work and so on are all true, so why did you suddenly change your attention?"
"Because I don't want to leave."
"Why don't you want to leave?"
"Because I promised others to stay."
"who?"
"you."
"I--?"
The air suddenly became quiet.
Xiao Feiniao pointed at herself blankly, Baiyunshan's figure was reflected in her pupils, her face was serious and serious, but her voice seemed to come from the sky and was ethereal: "I promised you Asuka, didn't I?"
"I once promised to stay with you until the end. If I leave alone so soon, wouldn't I break my promise? Since it is an agreed promise, it must be fulfilled. Otherwise, Asuka must also You’re going to look down on me, right?”
"Yes, but-"
This conversation was so overwhelming that there was no way out, and there was a bright future after another. The surprise came so suddenly that the girl almost thought it was a dream and her head felt dizzy.
Xiao Feiniao hadn't been able to completely break free, and had no time to feel happy. She could only intermittently try to give some impossible reasons to try to buffer the surprise, and struggled to organize her words: "But Baiyun-san, you have already agreed, haven't you? I’m sure I’ve almost prepared what I need to prepare. What if I change my mind just like that—”
"who cares!"
Baiyunshan waved his hands easily, and his usual salty temperament suddenly emerged in his tone, and said casually: "Whoever has a headache should have a headache! Asuka, you don't have to feel embarrassed or guilty. I will choose to stay. Although it is because of the promise I made, in the final analysis, I must have a strong desire to stay deep in my heart, otherwise I will not change my mind. At least when I make this decision , there is no discomfort in my heart, only relaxation——"
Another speech that made the girl feel her head buzzing. The twist came without any warning, and she was so happy that she didn't know what to say.
Xiao Feiniao was stunned for a long time, and could only slowly repeat the words mentioned by the other party: "Because...promise?"
"Yes, although I originally had such an idea, I haven't completely made up my mind yet—"
Baiyunshan spoke calmly, but there was a hint of emotion in his tone: "But it wasn't until I received a call from Gao Shan and the others, and found out that Asuka, you were looking for me as soon as you woke up, did I finally make up my mind. . Because at Asuka’s age, she will definitely have to be an idol for a long time in the future, but not everyone will be like this. This also means that in the next few years, everyone will definitely graduate one after another. , leave slowly..."
"At that time, there will be fewer and fewer partners around me, but Asuka will still stay here, witnessing their growth, glory, and even their departure. In the end, they will say goodbye one by one, leaving only herself -"
"It's so lonely."
Baiyunshan whispered: "At least if I can stay, I will be by your side, even if I can't be loved by you like Hashimoto, gentle and interesting like Takayama, and have something in common with you like Wada and the others. But at least, at least I am the only one who can accompany you until the end, so you won't be left alone."
"Baiyun Sang..."
At this time, Xiao Feiniao couldn't understand what he meant. Surprise and emotion filled her heart as if it were real. The tears that had been gathering in the eyes before finally couldn't bear it anymore and rolled down drop by drop.
She didn't expect that the other party actually changed his mind and chose to stay. What's more, I didn't expect that the reason for the change was actually because of myself, because of such an agreement.
An agreement that I have almost no confidence in.
"Why are you crying again——"
Baiyunshan scratched his head, feeling helpless for a moment. The last thing he wanted to see was the girls crying, but he also knew that the girl in front of him was too happy, so he could only comfort him while handing over a tissue to help wipe away her tears.
After a while, he looked at the girl's slightly red eyes and couldn't help but laugh.
"why are you laughing?"
Xiao Feiniao rubbed her red eyes and her voice was hoarse.
"I'm laughing. It turns out that Asuka likes to cry so much. Ever since we met, she seems to be seen crying all the time, whether it's at work or in private -"
Baiyunshan said half-jokingly: "And after running for so long, crying so many times, the makeup on my face is all gone, it looks really interesting -"
"Yeah~"
Xiao Feiniao looked down, and in the mirror handed over by the other party, he saw only a face that looked like a kitten. Obviously, the makeup carefully prepared in the morning has become blurry after a day, plus the sweat left by the non-stop running along the way, and the tears from crying twice.
Immediately, he forgot to even cry, and subconsciously covered it up shyly. However, through his fingers, he vaguely saw the other party getting up from the sofa, turning around and walking towards the cabinet behind him.
"Speaking of which, fortunately I was prepared -"
As Baiyunshan spoke, he found a medium-sized box from the cabinet and placed it on the coffee table. When I opened it, I saw that it was a cosmetic case containing many cosmetics of all kinds.
Baiyunshan opened it skillfully while explaining: "I taught Nishino makeup in the past, so I prepared something like this. Although I didn't need it later, I didn't throw it away. I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time - "
Regarding the bet at that time, Xiao Feiniao naturally didn't know about it. Just looking at the other party's actions, he suddenly became a little at a loss and hesitated: "Bai, Baiyun Sang, you want to..." ."
"I'll help you touch up your makeup, what else?"
Baiyunshan said matter-of-factly: "If you go out like this, and someone else sees you, will they think I did something to you? Of course you have to clean it up -"
"Yes, but..."
Xiao Feiniao is obviously extremely shy. Apart from her own mother and makeup artist, the girl has almost never let anyone else do her makeup, let alone a guy in front of her.
After all, this kind of thing is not only about physical contact, but more importantly, you will definitely see the defenseless look without makeup. Although you can occasionally see that look in the dressing room, it is with everyone after all. It is obviously completely different from the feeling of being alone, and the level of shyness is also different.
"Nothing but-"
It's natural that Bai Yunshan doesn't understand that one should strike while the iron is hot. It was just in time for the girl to be slightly distracted by the matter of putting on makeup so that she wouldn't cry again. He wouldn't give up so easily.
After saying that, he went to work on his own. He gently pressed the girl's smooth and petite forehead and signaled not to move. With the other hand, he picked up the makeup props. He moved gently and cautiously and said softly: "You have to believe it." I'm right, the level of makeup I taught Nishino was obvious to all, and I claimed to be 100% satisfied——"
Feeling the delicate movements of his fingertips and this careful performance, Xiao Feiniao's originally shy heart was infected by it and gradually calmed down.
Just when I heard a certain Osaka pigeon mentioned in his mouth, I couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in my heart, and whispered: "Has Baiyun-san also done this to Nana Sai?"
"Well... after all, we are teaching makeup, so a hands-on demonstration is definitely needed——"
Suddenly being asked such a sensitive question, Baiyunshan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but fortunately he quickly came to terms with it and said: "If Asuka needs it, I can also teach you."
"Really?"
Xiao Feiniao's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Of course it's true. I won't leave now. I have a long time to teach slowly——"
"Then let's start from now on!"
"So fast?"
Seeing the excited expression on the girl's face, Baiyunshan felt a little surprised, but he couldn't help but feel slightly relaxed. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then after pondering, he slowly said: "Okay, let me teach you something I haven't taught you yet. Nishino’s stuff, speaking of which, I saw it from TV before——”
"Uh-huh!"
The evening breeze was blowing at the end of May 2013, and the neon lights in the city were lit up one after another. For countless people, this was just an ordinary night, and today was just an ordinary day, but for a certain girl , when she looked back on this memory, it was one of the most unforgettable moments in her life.
In the Wutongzaka apartment, the two figures were reflected on the dark glass. Although they were very close, there was no ambiguous and charming atmosphere at all, but a plain warmth.
There was a faint sound slowly drifting out from the cracks in the window.
Conceal first, then apply powder. The thickness should be even. There are three places where it is thin: the forehead, the corners of the eyes, and around the mouth.
