Chapter 505: Study hard from now on
"...Can't you see it?"
"It might not be visible."
"Then I let go?"
"You can let it go if you want."
The two figures, like lovers, stopped by the side of the road.
Nino let go of Shinichi's arm, turned her back to him, and exhaled heavily.
The next moment, a visible blush emerged from her neck, dyeing her entire face dark red, complementing the color of her long hair.
Nino continued to fan the wind with her hands and walked a little anxiously. Joy and shame mixed in her heart.
Nino turned to look at Shinichi while holding back her embarrassment.
"Asada, I want to ask you something!"
"Please tell."
Shinichi's attitude is very honest. Facing such a blushing Nino, he looked at the scenery in the distance.
Nino bit her lip and asked, "…Did you come earlier than me and sit there because you couldn't wait?"
"No."
Shinichi denied it, looked around, waved at her, walked to a coffee shop on the side of the road, and opened the door.
"It's true that I came earlier than you, but I thought your sneaky appearance was a bit suspicious, so I secretly sat on a bench to see what you were planning. To be honest, I came earlier than you. How could I get impatient after a minute or two?"
"I see... Wait a minute, who's sneaky? I have no bad intentions, okay?"
Even though her anger had subsided, Nino still gritted her teeth, but she didn't have the strength to retaliate, so she quickly changed the topic because she felt guilty.
"Then when you found me sitting, why didn't you take the initiative to say hello to me?"
Shinichi frowned.
"Don't you agree that there is only one thing?"
"Believe it or not, I will really bite you to death!"
Giving him a half-embarrassed, half-angry look, Nino tried to cover up the redness on her face with anger, but this vicious look made her look even cuter.
Shinichi resisted the urge to pinch her cheeks and almost answered "I don't believe it, bite me if you have the guts"
After pondering for a moment, he explained to Nino.
"I didn't expect you to not recognize me at all when you were sitting alone. You just looked at your phone and giggled. Just when I was thinking about whether to scare you or sneak away and come back to look for you, that man spoke to you, and I didn't even have time to greet you first."
Shinichi's tone was calm and there was sincerity in his eyes, he felt no need to admit his fault in this, but a better attitude would always make Nino happier.
Nino seemed to realize this from his appearance, and the color on her face faded.
She looked a bit reluctant.
"Let me tell you first, I didn't mean to not recognize you... I always thought you would be waiting for me at the statue."
Shinichi smiled gently: "Then we are even?"
"Absolutely not!"
Nino glared at him which made him confused, who knows what provoked her.
"...Forget it, one more thing."
"And…" Shinichi drank his coffee, then said, "Do you remember what you just said?"
A red color appeared in Nino's ears.
"The most you can do to lie to that guy is to remember him."
Ignoring his next words, Nino said helplessly.
"Very good... I actually said those words in front of you. This kind of dark history is very bad…"
She lay on the table and wailed, her head buried in her arms, only a pair of red ears visible.
"Ugh... I'm so embarrassed... Forget about me..."
Shinichi looked away at the gray clouds in the distance, and sighed.
"I endured this kind of embarrassment five times before I fell... You have to work harder."
"The only one who would support such an inexplicable thing is you!"
After Nino complained harshly, her face that looked prettier than usual approached.
"I won't say anything if you want to thank me… What do you think about what happened just now?"
"…My opinion?"
Shinichi reflexively wanted to make a joke to fool her, but when he came into contact with Nino's serious eyes, the truth couldn't help but come out.
"To be honest… I'm quite happy."
Shinichi put down his coffee cup.
He stared aimlessly at the view outside the window, not seeing Nino's smile. He subconsciously touched his neck and said something awkward.
"Even though it's a bit complicated to use as a shield to start a conversation the first time, but the way he made you angry when he said I was stupid... How to say it, reminds me of the days when I quarreled with you outside art class, I miss it a little."
Even Shinichi didn't know what he wanted to express.
"Anyway, good job, Nino."
Nino looked at him blankly for a moment, then laughed.
"What? I don't understand what you are talking about! Let's just say you're very happy just pretending to be my boyfriend, right?"
Shinichi frowned
"Is it true? Didn't you say it first?"
Nino held back the smile on her lips, placing the black tea in front of her mouth.
"Is there such a thing? But since you say so, let's compromise and forget everything for now."
"...What? I don't understand what you are saying."
"Don't copy me!"
After giving Shinichi a helpless expression, Nino laughed happily and took a sip of honey black tea.
It was quite sweet, she liked it.
"Okay, let's get down to business," Shinichi said, "I came out today mainly to go shopping with you. Have you decided where to go?"
"Of course." Speaking of this, the smile on Nino's face became a little strange, and she suggested.
"Why don't we just play a game?"
"Game?"
"There is something I really want to buy. Before I come back, if you can guess what it is from all the things I bought today, you will win. If not, I will win."
"Winner huh..."
Nino thought for a moment, was there anything Shinichi wanted?
Even if the winner could ask the loser to do something, he probably wouldn't care.
Shinichi noticed her thoughts. Although he wanted to say that even if there were no conditions, it would be okay to play with her, but because Nino was so serious, she still waited until he said what he said next.
However, Nino shouldn't say anything about letting him be her boyfriend if she wins,. this would be embarrassing...
"If I win, you can take the initiative to ask me out next time. It could be anything, from amusement parks to aquariums. If you win…"
Nino's expression was reluctant, but also a little resigned.
"I will study hard from now on, work hard to study hard, and follow you as a role model. How about that?"
Shinichi was silent for a long time with a strange expression before saying.
"...You're a smart little girl."
He wasn't Nino's tutor, whether the girl studied hard or not was none of his business.
It was the first time he heard this kind of conversation, but to make her happy, Shinichi agreed.
