"It turned out to be a pen pal I met at a bookstore... I scared Asuka to death, I thought it was..."It took a long time for Nana Hashimoto to explain how he met Qiu Yang, and only then did he clarify the suspicions on Asuka's side.

"What do you think it is?"

"Nothing... However, this boy is too lucky, and the first and second people he met happened to be members of the idol group. "Asuka Saito is a little incredulous, if it's a coincidence, how coincidental must it be?

"yes, I just thought it was a new routine for some tabloid." Nana Hashimoto didn't remember the dangerous conjecture that flashed in his mind just now, and he still had some lingering palpitations. "But before I could ask Asuka, how did you know him?"

"He's my new neighbor, so that's how we met." Asuka Saito was a little weak when he replied like this, after all, he had hidden too many details, about why he was drunk and carried into the door at night, what was a slap, what helped cover up his flaws, what invited him to dinner...

If she tells this to Nanamin, she'll be gossiping again!

How would the naïve bird know that when Nana Hashimoto saw the word "neighbor", her eyes narrowed into a slit all of a sudden:

Okay, it turns out that the "active girl" is Asuka!

However, she didn't plan to puncture it, but out of the psychology of gossip, she planned to take the opportunity to talk about it.

- Brother Qiu Yang, you have to treat you to coffee next time, remember to thank your sister, sister will help you test the temptation first!

"Then, what does Asuka-chan think of Qiu Yangsang?"

"How... What do you think? Asuka Saito was suddenly asked like this, but he was a little confused, "It's not that good!" Because the contact time is relatively short, I feel that others are quite talkative and polite, but sometimes they will tease me......"

"Not a good guy anyway!" The bird babbled on and on, and finally made a verdict like a closing argument.

In Nanami Hashimoto's impression, Asuka Saito has always been a person who is very weak to interpersonal communication, and has always not believed that long-term bonds can be maintained between people. This is especially true when it comes to heterosexual feelings, with the idea that "one can't like another person forever" – since feelings always disappear, simply don't start. So in Hashimoto's view, Kotori has always been a girl with few emotional fluctuations towards the opposite sex.

Just now... She was stunned to look at the non-stop refresh messages in the bird's dialog box, and felt a little surprised.

- This little girl, I'm afraid I didn't fall into it headlong, I haven't realized it yet...

Nana Hashimoto suddenly became a little jealous of Qiu Yang - you must know that since Asuka is older, more mature, and has taken charge of the team, she has relied on her a little less, and she is no longer the little sweet bird that revolves around her. But now listening to the little bird on the other side of the screen, it suddenly makes her seem to see Asuka Saito again, but the object is no longer her.

"Hmm, then since Asuka has said so, why don't I break off my friendship with Qiu Yang! He's not a good guy anyway, and Asuka helped me recognize him! ”

"Huh...?" Asuka Saito's eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly explained, "That's—that's not necessary! Qiu Yangsang, as a friend, still has something to offer, Nana Min is calm! ”

Really! Why is Nanami so sensitive and ruthless! If Qiu Yangsang was victimized by his new friends because of a few awkward "bad words", he would be revenge again and guilty for a long time.

"Wow——! I've only known people for a long time, so I'll help them talk! Nana Hashimoto didn't notice it herself, and there was a little sour in her tone, and she didn't know if it was sour Qiu Yang or Sour Saito Asuka.

"Oh no!" The little bird blushed again suddenly, "Nana Min is the lowest!" Bullying me again! Ignore Nanamin! ”

……

In the first two days of Qiu Yang's study abroad life, there were a few twists and turns, and he also met a lot of new friends - the new neighbor Xiao noisy Asuka Saito, the literary girl Nanami Hashimoto, and the somewhat noisy Ikenome predecessor Shinoda Soma...... Their appearance somewhat made Qiu Yang, who was worried about his neon life too autistic, a lot easier.

As the days passed, although no new friends were added, the relationship with them was getting better and better.

During the day, he sometimes gags with Shinoda seniors, sometimes discusses academics, and occasionally has to deal with his cookie-cutter invitations to join the ministry, and I can't wait to take myself to the ministry's live room to watch their rehearsals.

In the evening, because his new neighbor's work seems to be very busy, occasionally Qiu Yang will bring her some food, or when the two of them have leisure, they simply buy some ingredients and go to Xiaoniao's house to cook a piece of food - Qiu Yang's one-bedroom kitchen has not yet been renovated, and the two have consciously formed a cooperation model in which Qiu Yang is responsible for buying ingredients and washing dishes, and Xiaoniao is responsible for providing the venue and cooking.

The two of them also enjoy having dinner together every other day, sometimes chatting with each other about the progress and unsatisfactory progress in work and study, explaining or complaining to each other, and somewhat resolving the loneliness of living alone with each other.

The relationship between the two has gradually changed from a neighbor who has an awkward relationship and has to find a hard topic in the same room to a bad friend who can speak freely and joke without scruples. Qiu Yang would occasionally joke about the night they met, and Asuka Saito would angrily threaten Qiu Yang to slap him again.

As for Nanami Hashimoto, Qiu Yang has not had a suitable opportunity to meet her since that day, and probably because she is busy with work, the news is always slow to reply, and the two of them occasionally chat about what new books they have read recently, and comment on the words and sentences in the book.

Sometimes sitting on the sofa of Asuka Saito's house and chatting with Hashimoto, he was seen by the bird, and Qiu Yang did not shy away from it, only saying that he knew a pen pal. Looking at the bird's cute eyes that were half narrow and half sour, my heart was pounding - teasing the bird seemed to have become a great pleasure in Qiu Yang's life.

Of course, Nana Hashimoto and Asuka Saito also vented to each other, hiding the fact that Qiu Yang and the two of them knew each other and were members of the idol group.

- Humph! I don't know who was deceived in the dark.

Sometimes when he was speechless and angry when he was teased by Qiu Yang, Asuka Saito comforted himself with this.

Winter in Tokyo is fast approaching, and the streets are all warming up for Christmas, and many anxious businesses have already hung up bows and bells.

One evening, Qiu Yang walked on the way home from the tram stop as usual. Despite being the last short commute and not too far away, Qiu Yang still felt that the winter in Tokyo was a little too cold. Especially when the weather cooled down all of a sudden, he didn't have time to prepare winter clothes, and he was only wearing a casual jacket, and he was originally a southerner, and he couldn't bear the cold.

It's time to buy winter clothes and a scarf — Qiu Yang was thinking as the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrate.

It's so troublesome... I have to take out my phone again... It's cold...

Although reluctant, Qiu Yang obediently took out his mobile phone, after all, the only ones who added contact information and would contact him privately were Shinoda, Kotori and Hashimoto, but they were all masters who couldn't be provoked.

"Most likely, Azukasan is urging himself to hurry back to eat..."

Thinking like this, I suddenly saw that the news was from Hashimoto-san.

"From Nana Hashimoto to Khoo Yo-san, how are things going in Hokkaido? I happen to have a holiday at Christmas, and I'm going back to my hometown Asahikawa for a while, so should we meet before that? Just let me look at the materials you have prepared. ”
