After watching the movie, the trip is still simple.
I hurriedly got in and out of the car, and the next stop turned out to be a pet store.
Pet shop?
Nishino Nanase was a little confused. She already had dogs at home, including the stray cat she picked up in the hut. She didn't want to keep pets at all. What was she doing here?
Until Baiyunshan reminded me.
"Look carefully over there in the window."
Nishino Nanase looked at it intently, and then his eyes suddenly lit up and he laughed happily. Following someone's pointing, she noticed that a creature that was very familiar to her was lying quietly on the branches of the indoor plant next to the window!
"It's a chameleon!"
It was January in the dead of winter, and this chameleon raised by the store owner was unusually not hibernating, and was still lying on the branches. According to the girl herself, she really wanted to raise a reptile that was similar to a chameleon. Unfortunately, the feed for such animals was usually bugs, and she had no way to deal with the bugs. In the end, she could only look at her with envy. Looking at other people's homes.
Baiyun Mountain is naturally aware of this. Girls’ love for animals can be said to be well known. In addition to reptiles, there are also classic fat pigeons and the bird with a particularly big mouth that a certain Hokkaido girl is most afraid of. hawks, and pandas that I have always dreamed of raising.
It's a pity that among these, except for the fat pigeon, which seems easier to achieve, the others are too unrealistic. Baiyun Mountain can only bring her here to feast her eyes on it for the time being.
However, this was obviously enough to excite Nishino Nanase, who already loved reptiles. He stared at it for a full minute before reluctantly looking back after being reminded by someone.
"Okay, don't stare too long. Let's move on to the next one."
"Well, Baiyun-san, how much time do we have left?"
"Hmm...about three minutes or so."
In short, around the time Ultraman transformed, Baiyunshan took her into the car quickly and read out...
"No. 23-6, 2-chome, Ono-cho."
Yes, it was the video store they went to just to watch the movie.
Why are you back?
Curiosity had just arisen from the bottom of his heart. The moment he got off the car, Nishino Nanase suddenly realized that the seats and popcorn he had prepared before had disappeared, replaced by two microphones, and the screen in front of him was shocking. The song they were about to sing was playing, and the interlude was about to reach the chorus.
It's karaoke time!
"You have to know, this is the job of a video store."
Baiyunshan handed her a microphone easily, and the song he was about to sing was a classic old song "The Fruit of Manatsu". This song was composed in 1990 and has been sung in many cover versions. It is also one of his favorite songs. It is my favorite song, so I specially put it here as a song for the two of them to sing together.
It seems now that at least the lyrics are very relevant to the current atmosphere.
The two looked at each other with smiles and sang the familiar chorus melody of this classic old song together.
"Four or six o'clock, it's good to say it"
梦の中へ连れて行って
Forgot your heart & soul
Soundにならない......"
After singing heartily, they felt much more relaxed. After putting down the microphone, the two of them came to the door together. It seemed that there was not much time left.
"Well... there's probably a little more than a minute left——"
Baiyunshan looked down at the time. A trace of pity flashed across Nishino Nanase's face after hearing this. Even though it was only a few minutes, the happiness that these few minutes of dating brought to her was incomparable to what she usually would in a whole day. of.
Anyone can't help but feel a little melancholy when they think that such a beautiful time is coming to an end.
But Baiyunshan's next words cheered her up again.
"Then... let's not take the car at all. It looks like it's too late to get to the last place. Let's take a walk back together."
As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his hand.
Nishino Nanase was stunned.
"Since it's a date, it's normal for us to walk together and hold hands."
Someone's voice came to my ears.
Nishino Nanase's cheeks suddenly turned red. She had obviously held the other person's arm in a natural manner before, so she wouldn't have any shy reaction to such a thing. But compared with the shyness at that time, it is obviously very different from the shyness now.
Without hesitating for long, the girl gently stretched her hand in.
The touch from his palm was soft and boneless, and the temperature of his fingertips was slightly cold. Baiyunshan smiled knowingly, grasped her fingers slightly, and took steps slowly.
The night was hazy.
Unlike the overwhelming moments in the previous few minutes, once one place ends, it seamlessly transitions to the next one, without wasting any time or making people feel bored. The last moment of this ten-minute date was extremely leisurely and peaceful.
Or maybe this is the norm for dating.
Dating is inherently a relaxing thing. The important thing is to look at the mentality and emotions of the two people. Other external things can only be regarded as the icing on the cake. Although those dazzling actions before felt very novel and special, in fact, they were really helpless actions due to lack of time.
The time when two people are alone is a date.
During the slow walk, the girl's voice sounded first.
"By the way...Baiyun-san, you just said it was too late for the last place. Can you tell me where that place is?"
"Ah, it's nothing special. It's just an ordinary paint store. I think you like painting so much that you might be interested in that place. Even if you don't have time to go shopping, let's help each other paint in ten seconds. A similar face painting is also possible, but in the end it seems that the time is still a bit short, and I still haven’t planned it clearly... Ah, I’m sorry, wait for me—"
After explaining this, Bai Yunshan paused and suddenly said sorry, then let go of the girl's hand and trotted to the side.
"Eh?"
Nishino Nanase stared blankly at him as he walked over, his hand paused at a loss for what to do, and a sudden thought of loss arose.
Fortunately, she was not kept waiting for too long. In just a few seconds, Baiyunshan trotted back and held her hand again, holding a packaged dessert in his other hand.
Nishino Nanase realized in hindsight that they happened to pass by the previous restaurant. Due to time constraints, of course, it was impossible to eat all the food. Now they just packed it up when they passed by, so they took it with them. gone.
"Not only that, but also this-"
As he said that, Baiyunshan smiled mysteriously at her, and like a magic trick, he conjured a rose from the packaged dessert and handed it to the other party.
"Like it?"
"Um."
"That's good, haha."
Having said this, Baiyunshan couldn't help but smile.
Nishino Nanase looked at him curiously, as if he didn't understand why he laughed suddenly.
Baiyunshan didn't show off, waved his hand and said relaxedly: "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought that there was a person like me who gave flowers to a girl, but I didn't expect that the girl was allergic to pollen-"
"It's a good thing you don't have a pollen allergy."
Yes, luckily you didn't.
If it were Nana Min, this trick wouldn't work.
Baiyunshan added in his heart.
However, Nishino Nanase couldn't help but think silently that she was indeed not allergic to pollen, but what made her happiest was not the flowers given by someone——
What really made her feel reassured was that Baiyunshan subconsciously held her hand when he came back.
When they walked to the end of the shopping street and reached the road they had gone uphill on, the short time came to an end, and the ten-minute countdown finally ended.
The beeping reminder broke the silence.
In the quiet atmosphere, in Nishino Nanase's eyes that seemed lost, Baiyunshan let go of his hand, smiled and asked: "How is it?"
"Um?"
"Look, you see what I said is right, right? Dating is actually not a big deal, it's just that you used the wrong method. A whole day of dating seems like there are a lot of things to consider and worry about, but in fact it only takes ten minutes. In fact, it can already be done, there is no need to make it too complicated——"
"This is only something you can do, Baiyun-san. Nana, I can't do it..."
Nishino Nanase turned away and responded softly.
However, the remaining smile on her face and the slightly raised corners of her mouth clearly betrayed the girl's reserved and shy heart.
Baiyunshan smiled slightly but didn't mind. No matter what, it would at least make the other party no longer as depressed as before. As long as this goal is achieved, everything else is secondary.
"However, I am still very happy... In fact, I am already very happy that Baiyun-san can accompany me. Being able to have such a special date makes me even happier."
At this moment, I heard the girl whisper again.
Really happy.
Nishino Nanase thought to himself.
The mood after the failed confession was naturally not as light as what she described. It was just how uncomfortable and bitter it was, but the girl subconsciously didn't want to let the people in front of her know. Because in this way, it feels like she is forcing the other person to accept her, and this is obviously not her true thought.
Baiyunshan was able to come back to her in a hurry, which actually made Nishino Nanase happy, because it meant that the other party actually still cared about her, regardless of whether she had confessed to him or not.
The next date was even more of a surprise. I had already planned to silently lick my wounds and recover after a complete failure, but I didn't expect such a turn of events. Although it was only ten minutes, the experience was richer than usual. There was no embarrassment or silence. Such a date was something she had never imagined before——
Therefore, Nishino Nanase is really happy and satisfied.
"That's good."
As if he had seen through her heart, Bai Yunshan nodded slightly, not knowing what to say. Regarding the girl's feelings for him, whatever he said seemed to be superfluous at this time.
So I could only smile reluctantly, and after thinking about it, I randomly changed the topic to disperse the faint melancholy in the air.
"At least you don't look so sad, right? To be honest, I was really worried that you would just find a swimming pool and jump into it. Although there is no swimming pool here, only the cliff we just stayed on -"
Baiyunshan said half-jokingly.
"What pool?"
However, after hearing his words, a look of astonishment appeared on Nishino Nanase's face, and then he seemed to remember something, and gradually turned into enlightenment, shock, disbelief, etc.
Time stands still for a moment.
After a long time, I heard her whisper again.
"Baiyun-san, why do you know?"
