The train stopped and stopped, and it took two trains and dozens of minutes to bring Soya and Kyoko to Otsukyo Station.

Stepping out of the car with the low-temperature air-conditioning on, waves of heat hit your face, which makes you feel intimidated.

"It's so hot..."

Soya turned around, Kyoko glanced at him, and then looked at the entrance not far away.

“It’s not hot anymore once you enter the station.”

"Um."

drop--

The two of them passed through the gate one by one, and it turned out that the station was much cooler. Zongya glanced around and quickly discovered the vending machine leaning against the wall pillar.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to buy a drink. What would Jingzi want to drink?"

"juice."

Kyoko lowered her head to search for her wallet and when she took out the coins, Soya was already walking over there.

"..."

Holding the coin, she looked at his back and sighed.

Is he also so attentive to them?

Bang!

After taking out the two bottles of drinks that had fallen down, Soya turned around and found that Kyoko had also followed.

"Give."

Taking the juice with her left hand, she opened the palm of her right hand.

Zonggu didn't say anything, picked up the warm coin, stuffed it into his pocket, then opened the drink and took two sips.

"Let's go."

"Um."

People were coming and going in the station in a hurry. Following the people in front of her, Kyoko almost reached the entrance of the underground passage, only to realize that Soya had not followed her.

"..."

She looked back and quickly found his back.

He was not far away, walking towards the exit leading to the ground.

"Sogu..."

Jingzi called out, but the voice was too low, and she thought it was impossible for him to hear her, so she raised the volume again.

"Soya——"

Zong Gu still didn't hear her, but the people passing by looked at her. After unexpectedly discovering that she was very good-looking, they all looked at her a few more times.

"..."

Jingzi pursed her lips, stopped shouting, and walked quickly towards him.

When there was only two or three meters between them, Zonggu looked back. Seeing her behind him, he turned his head as if relieved and continued walking towards the exit in front.

Jingzi stepped forward, took two steps at a time, and grabbed his arm.

"..."

Zong Gu turned around and looked at her with some surprise, "Kyoko?"

"You can go directly through the underground passage of the station." She pointed to the place where she came from. "That's connected to the underground street of the shopping mall. You don't have to cross the street above ground."

"Yeah."

Zong Gu also looked over there, "Sorry... this is my second time here, and I'm not familiar with it at all."

"fine."

Kyoko shook her head, and just as she let go of the hand holding his arm, Sogu took the initiative to hold it again.

"In that case, Jingzi, please take me there."

"..."

She struggled a little, and he held her tighter.

"Well... let's go."

Holding Soya in hand, Kyoko returned to the entrance of the underground passage.

Stepping down the steps and walking into the more than 100-meter-long underground passage, Zonggu looked up at the various pipes crisscrossing behind the grid ceiling above his head, and felt a little emotional when he lowered his head again.

"It feels like the temperature in the underground passage is lower than on the tram..."

"Sotani-san feels wrong."

"Really." He smiled, "Anyway, it's much cooler here than outside."

Jingzi curved his lips, nodded slightly, and then looked at the drink bottle he was holding in his other hand.

"I'll get it."

"Huh? No need..."

"You can put it in your bag."

"Can you let it go?"

Jingzi didn't say anything and directly stretched out her hand.

Watching her stuff the juice into her handbag and zip it up, Sogu took the bag from her hand.

"I'll get it."

"Yeah." She held his hand again, "The mall is right in front."

...

Arriving on the third floor and walking into the swimwear store that he had only visited once in the morning, Zongya was slightly stunned when he found the female clerk looking at him at the checkout counter.

He just pretended not to see it and was more concerned about Jingzi who looked hesitant next to him.

"Sotani-san, you can sit outside and wait for me...it won't take long."

He looked at the bench outside and thought again.

"Twenty minutes?"

Seeing that he was willing to agree, Jingzi was relieved at first, but she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart.

Even if she proposed it, she agreed too quickly...

"It should be about the same."

"All right."

Zonggu nodded, turned around and walked out.

"In twenty minutes, I will be hit on by various girls about twenty times..."

After walking a few steps, he stopped and looked back at Jingzi who suddenly grabbed him.

"..."

Looking at him faintly, she let go of her hand, said nothing, turned around and went to choose a swimsuit.

Zong Gu curled his lips and followed behind her.

The selection process went quickly. Kyoko didn't even look at the bikinis that were not required for swimming lessons. She walked straight to the rows of hangers with one-piece swimsuits. She looked through them a few times and picked out a dark blue one.

swimsuit.

After looking back and forth, she walked to the floor-length mirror and gestured in front of her.

Soya stood nearby, unable to tell whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied, but Kyoko took the initiative to ask for his opinion.

"What do you think of this, Soya-kun?"

Looking at the almost same area on the front and back of the swimsuit, he said, "Isn't it a little too conservative?"

"All my swimsuits are this style."

"Really? Then put it on and try it."

Jingzi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Um."

She walked into the fitting room with her swimsuit. Sogu waited outside and looked back at the nearby clothes racks.

"Well..."

A few minutes later, Kyoko put on her swimsuit and slowly opened the curtain.

She didn't come out. She was looking at him in the fitting room, still holding the curtain with one hand.
