"This..." Shiraishi sighed softly. Almost at the same time, he seemed to have difficulty poking his head out of the water again and began to breathe freely again. It was like a bird rushing out of an eggshell, finally seeing light and hope.

"Shiraishi, are you okay? Why do you look weird?" Hayasaka looked at Shiraishi worriedly, and there seemed to be a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

Shiraishi realized that his actions just now might be a bit abrupt. He tried to reach out and touch Hayasaka to confirm the authenticity of all this. "Don't hide." He said softly.

"Oh, Shiraishi, you are like this suddenly, of course I will hide!" Hayasaka exclaimed and quickly stepped back a few steps.

"I just... want to confirm it." Shiraishi explained, but then he was amused by Hayasaka's words. "What's strange about the ankle? I just want to touch it lightly."

"No, no! I don't want Shiraishi to think my ankle is thick!" Hayasaka muttered, with rejection written all over her face.

"Then...what about the calf?" Shiraishi asked tentatively.

"Even worse!" Hayasaka answered firmly.

The atmosphere between the two became a little subtle, and Shiraishi saw this and decided to change the way. "Okay, then...you touch me, is that okay?"

Hayasaka's expression became complicated in an instant, and she seemed to find it difficult to accept this proposal. "This...this kind of request, it's better to go to Sakurajima-senpai." She pouted in dissatisfaction.

Shiraishi smiled helplessly, he knew that his words might have been misunderstood by Hayasaka. "It's not like that, I just want..." He was interrupted by Hayasaka before he finished speaking.

"Forget it, just touch my hand." Hayasaka finally compromised, but she still looked a little uncomfortable.

"Why use honorifics?" Shiraishi asked with a smile.

"Nothing... nothing, just touch it!" Hayasaka urged, but her eyes betrayed her nervousness.

Shiraishi gently held Hayasaka's little hand, and an inexplicable warmth surged in both of their hearts.

"Oh, it's so itchy!" She quickly pulled her hand back, and two red clouds appeared on her cheeks.

"Shiraishi, don't do this..." Hayasaka's voice was filled with a hint of anger.

"I'm not messing around," Shiraishi responded with a smile, "I just want you to stay with me."

This sentence was like a breeze blowing across the lake, stirring up ripples in Hayasaka's heart. She softly defended herself: "I... I didn't misunderstand anything."

"So, where are you going with me?" Hayasaka's words were full of curiosity and expectation. She deliberately emphasized "where", as if to test Shiraishi's intentions.

Considering that there were too many people, Shiraishi suggested taking the bus to the destination, which was very different from his usual walking habits. On the bus, the two chose different seats. Shiraishi sat in the double seat in the back row, while Hayasaka deliberately sat in the single seat in the front, as if she wanted to keep a certain distance, but she inadvertently revealed her curiosity about Shiraishi.and attention.

"Hayasaka, did you have other plans?" Shiraishi broke the silence and tried to find a topic. Hayasaka turned her head slightly, with a hint of doubt in her voice: "Why do you ask that?" She didn't seem to expect Shiraishi to be so direct.

"Because, only people who take the train will pass that place." Shiraishi was referring to the ticket gate where they met. That's where only people who want to catch the train go.

Hayasaka smiled bitterly when she heard this: "I didn't have any special plans today, and I'm not like you, who have so many beauties to accompany you." This sentence contains both self-mockery and a hint of envy for Shiraishi's life.

However, when Shiraishi asked her why she was there, Hayasaka was silent. A hint of complex emotions flashed in her eyes, as if she was thinking about some important decision. In the end, she just said lightly: "Nothing, just walking around."

As the bus drove, Hayasaka suddenly stood up and sat next to Shiraishi. She looked at Shiraishi seriously and whispered, "Don't laugh at me." There was a hint of pleading in this sentence, which also revealed her inner fragility and anxiety.

Shiraishi smiled and responded, "Of course not, unless it's really funny." But he knew in his heart that there were not many things that could really make him smile from the bottom of his heart in recent days.

The topic turned to dreams, and Hayasaka slowly told her dream last night - (Okay, okay) Shiraishi shouted helplessly at the station, but no one paid attention. This dream touched Hayasaka's heartstrings, making her have deeper concern and worry about Shiraishi. She admitted that she had never seen Shiraishi so helpless, and she didn't want to see him encounter the same predicament in reality.

"After all, I really can't watch Shiraishi alone there."

"Sometimes life does need a few close friends." Shiraishi couldn't help but sigh when he heard Hayasaka's words.

"Is it just a close friend?" Hayasaka's face couldn't help but blush. (To read the most exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

“I’ve never seen Shiraishi like that.” Hayasaka played with her skirt and lowered her head. .
