Wu Geng was in a panic at the moment. She looked at Nishino's delicate but gentle face, and she felt more and more reluctant. She didn't understand what she was afraid of. What did dating mean? It was just two people eating, drinking, and having fun together. How could this be possible?

What does it represent?

If we just went out together, Nishino went out with Ikoma, went out with Takayama, went out with Manatsu, Hashimoto and many other members. Some were for work, some were for play. Wu Geng was not as panicked as now.

, it seems that the end is approaching.

Nishino was shocked by Wu Geng's request and opened her mouth slightly. She seemed not to have expected Wu Geng to reveal her feelings so openly. Her hand was painfully clenched by Wu Geng, but her brows gradually relaxed.

"Xiao Xiao...hand..."

"...Ah, I'm sorry! I," Wu Geng quickly let go of his hand and hurriedly handed the money from Nishino's bag back to her, becoming more and more embarrassed, "I, I didn't mean it."

"It's okay, I know." Nishino hugged the bag tightly to her chest, and she nodded, "I know."

Xiaoxiao likes me, she thought. She always couldn't help but want to confirm this.

If possible, she hoped that Xiao Xiao could say softly in her ear every moment, "I like Na-chan." In this way, her happiness would continue uninterrupted. But now,

Her focus was no longer on this issue.

She smiled a little lonely.

"I'm sorry yesterday..."

"No, it's my fault."

"But Xiaoxiao doesn't know what she did wrong, right?"

"..."

Wugeng was silent, but Nishino no longer dwelled on this point.

"It's okay," she smiled, "I said it yesterday, this is Xiaoxiao's problem, that sentence is wrong, at least it's not entirely Xiaoxiao's problem."

"Na-chan..."

"As for the question just now," Nishino said, "ask me not to date Mai. The answer is-"

At midnight, I subconsciously tightened my heart.

"No way." Nishino looked at her tenderly, just looking at a child, "After all, I have already promised to Mayi, and you, Xiaoxiao, have made an appointment with Mai Mai."

"But, we..."

"We won't end here, and nothing will end here," Nishino stretched out his right hand and took Wu Geng's hand, "It just might have to be in a different form, because, like Nanamin said

…”

She shook her head, "Nothing."

Suddenly, Wu Geng felt panic in his heart.

Nishino seemed to have made a decision in her heart. She was so confident and certain.

Under the timid appearance, Nishino's inner tenacity is no weaker than anyone else's, so when she made this decision, she was already over the edge.

Wu Geng's eyes were a little sore. Looking at Nishino like this, she wanted to hold her in her arms and try to retain something that was about to be lost, but she was afraid of disturbing Nishino.

So I had to praise him heartily but awkwardly:

"This outfit suits you very well, Na-chan."

Nishino nodded slightly, then looked at her playfully, his eyes curled into crescent moons, "Thank you, Xiaoxiao, sometimes you also say nice things."

——

"How are they doing?"

"Being so close shows that the knot in your heart should be somewhat untied." Hashimoto looked at Fukawa beside him, "Maimai's kindness has had some effect."

"Really, that's good..."

Fukawa tightened her lips. Staying with Hashimoto like this, she could feel the inadvertent restraint in words. They both did.

After returning home last night, Fukawa, who was tossing and turning, could not help but send a message to Hashimoto and Shiraishi. Neither of them fell asleep.

They opened a group group, established by Fukawa. The three of them sat in bed late at night, typing and chatting, their moods as deep and obscure as the night outside the window.

They did not talk about their own affairs. This was like a territorial dispute between countries. Without this issue, there was no problem with normal dialogue and exchange. They carefully bypassed this minefield and established a consensus with each other.

That is, at least let Nishino Asuka and the others reconcile.

They had this opportunity, three people at the top and three people at the bottom, one on one. Fukawa's mob behavior miraculously created the appropriate prerequisites for the resolution of all these incidents.

The six elements of story creation, time, characters, and place, are already in place. The cause and process have also been completed. The next step is to prepare a proper result, or ending - by the three of them.

So the three of them made this rough plan, asking Wu Geng and Nishino to get in touch first to see the situation, and talk about the rest later. For this reason, Hashimoto deliberately made an appointment with Xiao Asuka half an hour late for the meeting time.

Seeing Wu Geng and Nishino holding hands together, Fukawa's emotions were subtle. Hashimoto was the same. She did not agree with the love between the members of the group, but she could not accept the estrangement and disputes between the members.

These are two different things. She told herself in her heart.

She also comforted herself in her heart.

"What should I do over there with Ikuta..." When Fukawa and Hashimoto were silent, Shiraishi said, "Maimai, you asked her to bring Hiyaka with her."

Shiraishi couldn't bear to think about Ikuta's face before leaving last night, which seemed to encapsulate the misery and struggle of the poor people around the world who have been persecuted and squeezed by the iron heel of capitalism. However, she felt that according to Ikuta's character,

There is a high chance that she won't come today. Who doesn't have the desire to survive?

To be honest, in this situation, it doesn't matter whether Ikuta comes or not. If she does come, it will be the same as yesterday. She is just a background character. When the atmosphere is solemn, she can be pulled out to spice things up.

Shiraishi's pairing with Nishino has had some positive effects, and he has been promoted from an extra to a supporting role. The lunch box can also add two more chicken drumsticks.

But there is always a possibility of eventuality. After all, Ikuta's mind is indeed very Schrödinger-like.

"Then let me make a call and talk to Ikuta-chan." Fukawa took out his cell phone.

The call was connected quickly. Ikuta's tone on the other end was a bit strange. Before Fukawa could even speak, he started to defend himself.

"Maimai, listen to me. I have a headache, shoulder pain, hand pain, foot pain, stomach pain, and heart pain. My heart also hurts. I definitely have a worsened and relapsed fracture of my toe! I, I, I may not be able to survive, my mother said.

They want to take me to the hospital. The intensive care unit has been booked! The ambulance will be here soon! Really. So... I can't go! It's definitely not because I don't want to go - "

"Ikuta-chan."

Because Ikuta started talking endless nonsense, Fukawa had no choice but to interrupt her at a louder volume.

"...Maimai?"

"Ikuta-chan, you don't need to come." Fukawa said.

"ah?"

"That's it, I'll hang up now. Bye."

"Wait...Maimai——"

Fukawa simply and decisively hung up the phone.

"How is it?" Shiraishi asked.

"As I said, Ikuta didn't want to come over in the first place."

At this time, Hashimoto was staring at his phone, his face fluctuating.

"What's wrong?"

Hashimoto took a breath and said solemnly, "Asuka sent a text message saying that she came over early and her parents were with her."

Fukawa and Shiraishi looked at each other with a bit of panic in their eyes.

Shiraishi glanced at Gogeng and Nishino who were still holding hands at the door of Fujikyu, swallowed his saliva, "Are you here to raise an army to investigate?"

It's not surprising that she thought so. That night, Xiao Feiniao cried so hard that her eyes were red. After she got back, her mother would definitely ask why. Things between members were easy to talk about, but once parents were involved, the senior group became a small group.

child.

Hashimoto held the phone and did not reply. He just frowned and said, "You guys go over first and bring Shixiao-chan and Na-chan in."

"What about Nanamin?"

"...I'm staying here. After all, I have an appointment with Xiao Feiniao."
