Chapter 249: Important Day
"I don't hate it," Ren answered honestly.
Just as there was no food he liked to eat, there was no food he hated to eat.
"That's good."
Feeling that the waffle had cooled to almost the right temperature to eat, Nino then said: "The waffle is ready to eat, please try it as soon as possible."
"Um."
Taking out a piece of waffle that looked really delicious, Ren took a bite.
Seeing that he was already eating waffles, Nino took a clean towel, wet one corner of it, and approached him.
"How?"
Using the edge of a wet towel to wipe away the traces of flour on his face, Nino asked his opinion.
But her eyes were always focused on his face and eyes, and she couldn't bear to look away.
Feeling the dampness on his face and the softness of her body against his, Ren hesitated for a moment before replying: "It's delicious."
The baked waffles that Nino made were definitely the most delicious waffles he had ever tasted at that dessert shop.
"As long as you think it tastes good."
After getting the answer she wanted, Nino squinted her eyes happily.
Seeing that he had finished the waffle pieces in his hand, she handed him the towel in her hand: "Now it's your turn to wipe me."
After saying that, she pointed at the several lines of flour that Ren had smeared on his face earlier.
What he said before about not letting hjm wipe the flour was just asking hkm to help her wipe the flour now.
"Sure."
Ren didn't refuse, Nino wiped his face, so reciprocity was a must.
After wetting another corner of the towel, he went over to her and wiped the flour off her face with the towel.
"Umh..."
Seeing his serious eyes, Nino's heart beat even faster.
Obviously when she was rubbing his face, her heart was not beating so fast, but why was her heartbeat a little uncontrollable when it was his turn to wipe hee face.
And at this distance, as long as she took a little step forward, she could kiss him...
Is it advanced? Still...
Staring at his lips, Nino thought about the matter.
"It's clean."
Before Nino could finish thinking, Ren took a step back and put towel aside.
"Huh?...So fast."
At this moment Nino felt a little regretful. him knew she should have asked him to rub more flour on her face now. In that case, she would have more time to think about the matter.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now. Even if she wanted to kiss him, she would never find such a good opportunity before.
"It's time to make cake."
After finishing the baked waffles together, Nino said so expectantly.
According to her plan today, after making the cake, all that was left was to take it home and the most important arrangements.
"Um."
···
After a while, a small cake was made.
Spread the cream on the cake little by little, and it will soon turn into a butter cake.
Finally, Nino also used red cream to write today's date, May 5, on the cake.
"The cake is ready!"
Seeing the cake she had decorated, Nino clapped her hands, and Ren also clapped.
Because there were only two people, the cake she made was very small, only enough for two people to finish it.
Dividing the cake into two parts, Nino handed half to Ren.
"Thank You."
After taking the cake, Ren took fork and tasted it.
This time, Nino didn't ask his opinion. He just ate the cake in silence while looking face to face with her. Occasionally he raised his head to glance at her who was sitting across from him.
After a while, they each finished their cake.
"Naoki, can you take me home today?"
After looking at the clock, Nino asks him to beg him.
"Can."
There's no need to refuse something as simple as that, especially since Ren already likes traveling.
After leaving the dessert shop, Ren and Nino walked towards home.
"The sun is setting."
Seeing the sunset, Nino said softly.
"Um."
It was evening now, and the sun was starting to set, which was very normal.
Maybe because it was not far from home, Nino didn't ask to take the train or taxi, but just walked quietly with him.
"Take off your mask, there's no one else here."
"Okay."
On the way, Nino who had been talking a lot, became quiet, she only made a request like that which made Ren feel a little confused, but he still complied.
After walking for a while and entering the community where Nino's house was, and being able to see the building where her house was, Nino suddenly asked: "Naoki, do you know what day it is today?"
"Don't know."
Ren thought for a moment, then shook his head.
He only knew that this was the last day of the holiday, and he didn't know much else.
"Actually today is my birthday."
As if she had expected it, Nino said what she had been thinking all day.
"I..."
Hearing this, Ren suddenly understood something.
"That's why I told you that today is an important day and I want to spend it with you."
Interrupting what he wanted to say, Nino continued.
Walking quickly towards him, standing opposite him, her back to the setting sun, Nino chuckled and said, "Today is a very happy day for me, because basically everything I thought about has been completed."
"The first thing I did was eat my favorite waffles with you. It was done perfectly, and you also said that the toasted waffles I made were delicious."
"The second is to eat birthday cake with you. This should be done reluctantly. Besides, I don't know if the cake I made was a birthday cake, but it says my birthday on it, so it's considered a birthday cake?"
"The third thing is to receive the birthday gift you gave me, which was also completed perfectly."
After saying this, Nino took out her keys, revealing a half-hearted keychain.
"Even though I forced you to give me this keychain, I couldn't do anything at that time, because if I didn't do that, I wouldn't be able to accept the birthday gift you gave me."
"So thank you very much for the birthday present, I will appreciate it."
"The fourth is that you wish me a happy birthday. This has not been completed."
"So-"
With her hands behind her back, the remaining rays of the setting sun shone on her waist-length hair. Nino looked straight into his eyes and asked with a smile:
"Can you wish me a happy birthday?"
