Chapter 7 The help in the occasional encounter will also bring trouble
People who are lost in thinking will always feel that time is very slow.
For example, Nazukahiko's thoughts were confused and he was worried about how to arrange Izumi Yuzuki. But when he came back to his senses and glanced at the clock, he realized that ten minutes had passed.
He really thought about it a lot.
First of all, it is absolutely impossible for Himuro Yu and Izumi Yuzuki to be in the same room - are these two people the same thing? Izumi Yuzuki may not see each other after seven days, and Himuro-san...
Can I never return to Kyoto for the rest of my life?
And next, considering Izumi Yuzuki's previous performance of worrying about him, Nazukahiko didn't want her to sleep on the sofa - he was not a truly cold-blooded and ruthless black-hearted businessman who only wanted to make money.
Moreover, if Izumi Yuyue was really born in Hanzhixi, then he would have been tied to death on this pirate ship, and there was no way he could jump off the ship.
Therefore, letting the girl share the room with him is not only to allow her to sleep peacefully, but also to keep an eye on the girl and prevent her from causing any trouble.
It's just that this is his room, but he still asks for other people's opinions when he enters the door. Why does he always encounter such unreasonable things at the end of the day?
Nazukahiko, who was lamenting in his heart, walked to the door, knocked three times, and listened to the movement inside the door.
After a while, there was still no response from the room.
Nazukahiko frowned slightly and tried again.
Still not.
The room was very quiet, like a trap that could swallow people in the dark.
"Excuse me." After thinking about it, Nazukahiko was still worried about Izumi Yuyue and chose to push the door open and enter.
No matter what, if you can take the time to comfort the girl and make her a little happier... at most, it will only cost you more events and deduct a few more hours of night shift wages.
He is short of money, but he values more than money.
A little light spilled into the dark room from the window, just enough to illuminate Quan Youyue's fair face.
Under the light of the evening lamp, there were still tear stains on the girl's cheeks, which were particularly obvious.
Already asleep?
Seeing this scene, Nazuka Yan was stunned for a moment.
In just twenty minutes, the girl fell asleep without any precautions in someone else's room.
Nazukahiko sighed as he remembered that when he woke up and walked out of the room in the evening, he saw the girl sleeping on the table.
"I almost forgot that Miss Quan and I have different schedules, so we don't have to stay up late." He walked to the bed, stretched out his hand to cover the girl with a thin blanket, and said softly, "After thinking about it for so long, why did you say sleeping on the bed or sleeping on the sofa?
...it's all in vain.
"After returning from the night shift, Miss Izumi should have woken up long ago." With a soft sigh, Nazukahiko adjusted the blanket and covered the girl's exposed body parts one by one, "So... we still share the room.
Bar."
The blanket fell gently, bringing in the breeze.
The girl who was not asleep was awakened by the wind blowing on her face. She tried to open her eyes and saw the figure in front of her covering herself with a blanket in the darkness.
The figure is backlit, and the face cannot be seen clearly. I can only barely tell that he is a man from his body shape.
"Dad, what should I do after I escape..." Looking at the figure that overlapped with her father, the girl's voice seemed to be confiding, but also seemed to be whispering, "You were taken away by them, can I see you again?"
……You……"
Nazukahiko's hand that he wanted to take away froze in place.
He thought along the lines of Himuro Yu, but he didn't expect to get clues like this.
The task on the panel... finally made new progress unintentionally?
The girl received no response, so she closed her eyes again and fell into a deep sleep.
"She looks exhausted... I wonder how long it has been since Miss Izumi had a good sleep?" Nazukahiko sighed softly, closed the curtains on the side, and left the room gently.
There was no one in the living room, except for the faint light coming from the bottom of Himuro Yu's door.
Nazukahiko looked at it for a moment, turned off the light in the living room, opened the door and left.
After a while, the girl who slowly opened the door looked indifferent and looked at the dimly lit and empty living room, without speaking for a long time.
…
There is a total distance of more than a thousand meters from the house rented by Private Lixin to the convenience store next to it.
Normal walking takes about ten minutes.
However, considering that there are several intersections on the road, you have to wait for traffic lights, and there is a park called "Noragaka", it actually takes Nazukahiko at least fifteen minutes to reach the convenience store.
Of course, if you rush to the convenience store like Izumi Yuzuki... six or seven minutes is enough.
Just like the past few nights, Nazukahiko quickly ran to the convenience store according to the nearest route.
When passing by Noragaka, his speed slowed down involuntarily - because there were many wild cats in the park, and if he wanted not to hurt these wild cats, he had to pass by carefully.
When he first came to Bunkyo Ward, Nazukahiko was curious about the reason why the park was named Norasaka. But when he actually passed by Norasaka once, the answer was self-evident.
Nora means wandering, and saka means slope. There are many wild cats in the park, and there is a small slope with dense vegetation. It is really appropriate to call it Nora Saka.
However, this time when passing by the park, Nazukahiko clearly heard some different sounds.
"Cat, can you give me my handbag back?"
"Give me your handbag, can I buy you something delicious?"
"The handbag is of no use to you, please return it to me quickly?"
The girl's voice came from the back of the small slope, or hill.
It was already certain that he would be late, so Nazukahiko didn't care if he was a little later, he just followed the direction of the sound.
Then, he saw something not so good.
The long-haired girl in a mid-length skirt was lying on the ground, negotiating patiently with the kitten hiding in the bushes, holding a small handbag in its mouth.
That's fine, the key point is that the girl's posture is a bit indecent, which makes people have the urge to give her a hard slap on her raised butt.
Nazukahiko looked at it for a moment and confirmed that the girl could not get the handbag back by herself.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, talk to the girl and try to help, he saw the girl change her posture.
A touch of pure white leaked out from under the skirt. As for the calves and thighs, they were a little hazy and reflective.
Everything has a soft beauty.
Pure white underwear, flesh-colored stockings.
Nazukahiko was completely sure after just one glance.
He, who always considered himself a gentleman, could only cough repeatedly until he drew the girl's attention away from the wild cat.
"This... sir? What's the matter?" The girl turned her head in confusion, but her body posture did not change much.
Brown bangs hang down from the top of her head, covering the girl's forehead, leaving only a faint trace of her eyebrows.
Her eyes are slightly narrowed, but they still don't make people think that she has "small eyes", but instead have a vague sense of temptation.
Not to mention that the bridge of his nose was straight and his mouth was slightly open, as if he was panting due to the effort of lying on his stomach.
Unfortunately, the beautiful scenery is still not blocked.
Nazukahiko was a little embarrassed. Just when he was about to speak, he felt a severe pain in his throat - the fake cough lasted too long and his throat couldn't be relieved at once.
"Are you... okay?" The girl sounded worried.
"It's like this. If I have to explain it clearly, I can only say that based on the current situation, looking at the overall situation, looking at the past and present, taking into account the current comprehensive situation, analyzing and summarizing, maybe it can be considered...
Nazukahiko paused and continued, "To sum up, in summary, it is possible to find that, although it may not sound good, but anyway, there may be some problems with your own posture management..."
The girl looked at him, one question mark after another seemed to appear in her misty eyes.
"……meaning is?"
"It's all gone."
After saying this, Nazukahiko turned around consciously and did not look at the girl.
He heard an embarrassed scream coming from behind, frightening the wild cats that were surrounding him and running away.
Nazukahiko didn't have any extra thoughts. He just lamented that Sir Humphrey's long and difficult sentence may not be suitable for reminding others tactfully.
After waiting for three seconds, he turned around again and saw that the girl had stood up, patting her blue dress with slightly red cheeks.
"Sorry, it turns out you just wanted to remind me, I thought..." Compared to the scream just now, the girl's voice was obviously much softer.
"I also want to apologize." Nazukahiko said calmly, "Maybe a more direct reminder would be better."
"No..." The girl shook her head repeatedly, seemingly unable to form words for a moment.
"Also, handbag." Nazukahiko crossed her, lay down easily, and reached out to take out the handbag from the bushes - the girl's scream just now had scared the kitten away, leaving only the handbag lying alone in the cold and harsh bushes.
middle.
Passing the handbag to the girl, Nazukahiko patted the dust on his hands and body, waved his hand in a good-natured manner, and turned around in the direction of the convenience store.
"Please wait a moment!" The girl hurriedly wanted to stop him, and the thick high heels under her feet... or rather, the mid heels, struck the ground with a crisp and sweet sound.
Just when Nazukahiko wanted to say, "You're welcome, I'm just passing by," he heard the sound of falling behind him.
Turning around to look, the girl's knees and palms were already on the ground, with a slightly painful expression.
Although the girl's heels are thick but not high, running in such shoes, especially on slightly uneven roads underfoot, is definitely a skill.
Of course, it's still torture.
Naturally, the girl's skills were not up to par right now, and she was severely punished by the detection mechanism of uneven roads.
Seeing this scene, Nazukahiko had no choice but to stop.
I was just doing good things while rushing to the convenience store to work the night shift... How could I encounter such unlucky things?
So many things have happened today... Is my luck really that bad?
And... although the road is uneven, she fell down after just two steps. Taking into account the conversation with the cat just now and the lying posture... is the girl in front of her a natural?
Nazukahiko kept complaining in his heart. He walked to the girl and gently helped her up.
"I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to my feet and accidentally fell..." The girl's words were full of apology.
She lowered her head slightly, and her hair fell naturally.
"The road here is inherently uneven, and it's not convenient to run in these shoes. Don't think too much." Nazukahiko just comforted him and looked at the girl's palms, "How do your hands and knees feel? Are they injured?"
"The knee is fine. It's blocked by the skirt and socks... It's a little scratched at most, but it's just a little painful." The girl frowned slightly and made a soft "hiss" sound, "On the hand..."
The girl did not continue speaking because both she and Nazukahiko could see it.
Apart from the dirt and dust from the fall, there was also the blood that was slowly coming out.
"Well... it may need to be treated briefly, otherwise it may become inflamed." Nazukahiko quickly made a judgment, "There is a convenience store near here. You can borrow it for cleaning, applying band-aids or resting."
That is why Nazukahiko, as an employee of a convenience store, would come up with such a method. However, if he really took the girl to the convenience store, he would probably be scolded by the store manager.
"I originally wanted to go out and buy something at the convenience store next to Noragaka, but who knew...it would hurt..."
The girl's voice was already very soft originally, but after the pain, it became even more fragile. "But if you do that, it will cause trouble for the clerk in the store..."
"Don't worry about that, I'm the clerk." Nazukahiko interrupted directly.
"...I'm really sorry for causing you trouble again." The girl pursed her lips.
"Just helping, you're welcome."
After taking a few steps forward, Nazukahiko didn't hear the girl following him and looked back.
The girl was indeed walking forward, but the knock on her knees and the presence of mid-to-high heels forced her to move her legs slowly.
Noticing Nazukahiko's gaze, she forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, but I really can't walk fast right now."
"There's still a hundred meters to the convenience store, so it's really hard..." Nazukahiko was just halfway through his words when he suddenly remembered something.
He pointed to the park bench nearby and ordered in a tone that was close to an order, "Take a rest here, wait a moment, I will be back soon."
The girl nodded silently, moved to the bench and sat down slowly, watching his figure gradually shrinking and entering the convenience store in the distance.
About half a minute later, Nazukahiko's figure reappeared outside the store door, bowed inside, and then ran towards the park again.
The girl was sitting on the bench and saw his figure getting closer and bigger.
It wasn't until Nazuka Hiko entered the park and got closer that the girl noticed a pair of shoes in his hand.
"I just remembered that I put a pair of slippers in the store some time ago. You can wear them during your shift break." Nazukahiko, who ran back, shook the thing in his hand towards the girl, "Put on these and walk to the convenience store.
, after resting for a while, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.”
"Well..." the girl nodded vigorously, "but...but why do you want to help me like this?"
"Why do I need to help you like this?" Nazukahiko repeated without even noticing that he had inadvertently changed "you" into "you".
"Originally, I was already late for the night shift today, so I was just doing a favor, just pretending to be lazy." He thought for a while and explained with a smile, "Anyway, it's only a few steps away from the convenience store, so it won't matter if it's any later.
More wages will be deducted."
Nazukahiko put down the slippers in his hands and looked at the girl, his smile was plain but warm.
