The Wonderful Daily Life of Nogizaka

"Baiyun-san, why should we run?"

"If you don't run away, you will be left behind."

"What will happen if you are left behind?"

"My identity will be exposed if I am left behind."

"What will happen if I'm exposed?"

"If you are exposed, you will be beaten to pieces by Sichuan Jingsang."

"Then...can you let go of your hand and let me run by myself?"

Baiyunshan was stunned when he heard this. He looked down and saw that he was holding a slender catkin. The palm of his hand was cool, and his five fingers were as slender and beautiful as green onions, exuding a faint fragrance.

Looking up, the girl was staring at him with slightly embarrassed eyes, and she was breathing heavily.

Baiyunshan quickly let go of his hand and apologized repeatedly. Hashimoto Nanawei gasped and said tiredly: "Forget about running, but I still carry the guitar on my back. Can you run a little slower?"

"Ah, sorry."

Seeing that there was no problem, the two of them found a bench nearby and sat down to rest. The guitar was leaned against the fence nearby, but the atmosphere became somewhat silent for a while.

There is a small beach outside the fence. At this time, almost all the people nearby have gone to the lantern festival. The street is a little empty for a while. The bright moon is rising on the sea and the evening breeze is slightly bleak.

After a while, after calming down his breathing, Nana Hashimoto said: "Baiyun-san, thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for accompanying me on stage. Thank you very much."

"No need to thank you." Baiyunshan waved his hand and said leisurely while blowing the sea breeze: "Do you like the song just now?"

Nana Hashimoto looked startled, then nodded: "I like it very much." She seemed to think that this answer was too thin and not sincere enough. She added: "I really like it, especially the lyrics you'rethenearestthingtoheaventhati'veseen,

You are the closest thing to heaven I have ever seen. I was shocked the first time I heard it. I couldn’t help but secretly write it down. Baiyun Sang is really amazing!"

This guy didn't feel ashamed at all. After all, in his opinion, what he exchanged for influence points from the system was naturally his own. He smiled and accepted the compliment given to him by the girl.

Immediately, he asked other questions more aggressively.

"Then do you think you like this song more, or you like spicy food more?"

"This song."

"Does my singing sound better or does that third-rate singer sing better?"

"Baiyun Sang."

"Who is more handsome, me or Takuya Kimura?"

"Kimura Takuya."

"Huh?" Baiyunshan suddenly felt something was wrong, raised his brows, and wondered: "Shouldn't you give me some face at this time and say that I am more handsome? Why is that guy more handsome?"

Nana Hashimoto said seriously: "My first two questions have given Baiyun-san a lot of face. People always need to face their hearts honestly."

Baiyunshan curled his lips helplessly: "You guy."

Both of them couldn't help laughing at the same time.

After the joking, the atmosphere became peaceful again.

Not far away, you can also see the shining lights of the lantern festival.

Nana Hashimoto held the lower edge of the bench with both hands, stretched her neck, tilted her head back slightly to relax her body, then looked at the endless dark night sky and said: "White Cloud-san."

"What's wrong?" Baiyunshan also imitated her posture to relax and asked.

"I'm really happy today." Hashimoto Nana's face was hidden in the shadows, and her expression couldn't be clearly seen. Her voice was as calm as usual, but extraordinarily powerful: "It seems that I haven't been as relaxed as today for a long time.

I have forgotten how long it has been. Even if it is a trivial thing or a big event that only happens once in a few years, everything today really makes me feel very satisfied!"

The girl turned her head, looked at Baiyunshan and said seriously: "I will remember this day, absolutely."

The air was stagnant for a moment.

Baiyunshan looked at her in silence for a long time, and said seriously: "Thank you, but could you take off your mask first? The wind was a bit strong just now and I didn't hear what you said clearly."

"..."

Hashimoto Nana's expression stiffened for a moment, and then she hit the guy's arm in anger.

"Bai Yunsang, you are joking again!"

Baiyunshan, who was the destroyer of the atmosphere, seemed not to notice it at all. He watched with a smile as the girl took off her mask, as if she had taken off a heavy layer of armor.

The face under the mask is fresh and beautiful, with a high nose bridge. He is breathing in the fresh air carrying the sea breeze, and his face gradually becomes relaxed.

Realizing that the girl's ears were beginning to feel slightly hot, Baiyunshan stopped staring, but shifted his gaze and looked at the night sky again.

"The lights in Tokyo are too bright. There is nothing but the moon at night." Hashimoto Nana said suddenly.

"No, there are clouds above, but we can't see them now." Baiyunshan replied.

"Can you see it at dawn?"

"You may not always be able to see the sky at dawn. At that time, everyone is busy with their heads down and won't have time to look up at the clouds in the sky."

"Then what's the point of staying there? It's very hot there during the day and cold at night, just like the sand in the desert."

"This is my question to you, what do you think it means?"

Baiyunshan suddenly turned to look at her.

Hashimoto Nana didn't say anything. She didn't answer the question. Her pretty face, which had always been resolute, had a trace of confusion at some point, just like the lost stars in the night sky. After a long time, she said quietly: "Baiyun-san, you know, I

I’m only eighteen years old, but I no longer believe that I can achieve anything if I work hard.”

Baiyunshan shrugged and smiled nonchalantly: "What's the point? When I was eighteen years old, I started not to believe that there is a Santa Claus in the world!"

Hashimoto Nana sighed and calmly complained: "There are too many flaws in your sentence, so you have always believed that there really is a Santa Claus in the world before you were eighteen years old?"

"Not entirely." The guy began to explain seriously: "I never saw Santa Claus before I was eighteen years old, but this is because my house does not have a chimney, and no one can be sure whether Santa Claus will appear after the chimney is repaired.

Santa Claus, so I cannot firmly believe that he does not exist in this world, this theory is what I call Schrödinger’s Santa Claus.”

Hashimoto Nanami: "..."

As if she felt a little embarrassed, the girl stood up and turned around to leave.

"Hey, don't leave!" Baiyunshan quickly tried to persuade him to stay.

"Give me a reason not to leave!" Bao Ziqiao said angrily.

"You haven't brought your guitar yet!"

"..."

Seeing that the girl seemed to be hitting him again, Baiyunshan quickly gave up and said with a smile: "I'm just kidding, I see you look a little sad, I don't want you to be sad!"

Nana Hashimoto suddenly said: "Baiyun-san, you must be very bad at comforting others, right?"

After being exposed, Baiyunshan scratched his head in embarrassment, and then he could only admit this.

The girl sighed, but surprisingly, she didn't have any negative emotions. Instead, she smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. As long as I know Baiyun Sang wants to comfort me, that's enough."

Either because of what he said, or because the smile at this moment is so beautiful. It is full of intellectual charm, as soft and beautiful as moonlight, as pure and flawless as snowflakes. It is like leaning on a lounge chair next to the floor-to-ceiling window and hugging her leisurely in the afternoon.

A literary girl with a book, the sun shines in slantingly from the window, and every hair is filled with gentle golden color.

Baiyunshan froze on the spot.

"I lied to you! Idiot!"

Caught off guard, Nana Hashimoto ran away without picking up her guitar, with a proud smile on her face as if her plan had succeeded. Her cute little tiger teeth were also exposed, attracting people's attention and making it difficult to see clearly the hidden hair.

The ears are gradually dyed with a layer of pink.

She waved to Baiyunshan, who was stunned by seeing such a lively girl for the first time.

"See you tomorrow! Baiyun-sang!"

Baiyunshan came back to his senses and looked at her from a distance. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised at some point. This was a mood like a spring breeze, not enthusiastic, but like a long stream of water.

See you tomorrow, what a hopeful word.

He thought to himself and nodded vigorously in response.

"See you tomorrow, Hashimoto Nanami."

On the empty seaside street, the two waved goodbye.

Tomorrow is another similar but completely different day.
