"It's over, it's finally time to rest."

After meeting with the prefectural governor of Akita Prefecture, the four of them finally finished all their trips to the event, and the bus back to the hotel stopped outside the venue.

At the end of the event, Hoshimi was the first to speed up his steps and get on the bus, and then happily threw himself into a chair and sat down to wait for the members behind him to get on the bus.

When Wakatsuki and Nishino got into the car slowly, Hoshimi was already sitting in his seat, his forehead against the glass window that was a little hot from the sun, and he was watching intently with his mobile phone in his hand.

Nishino silently glanced at Wakatsuki, who was walking in front of him, and was a little anxious to cross the other party and sit on the empty seat next to Hoshimi first, but his face was not obvious, he just stared at Wakatsuki's back in the hope that the other party would be able to receive her leaked EEG.

As if hearing Nishino's inner call, Wakatsuki swept over the empty seat next to Hoshimi and sat down behind her, Nishino secretly put down her heart and walked briskly to the front of Hoshimi, only to find that the seat next to Hoshimi was lying on the seat with her carrying. Nishino pursed his lips, grabbed his fingers at the soft back of the chair and almost inserted it, and then sat silently next to Hoshimi.

When Ikoma got into the car, he saw Nishino, Wakatsuki, and Hoshimi sitting in three separate positions, and a hint of surprise flashed across their faces. The car was unusually quiet, and the staff followed Ikoma into the car, and the members all sat in the bottom two rows in tacit agreement, leaving all the seats in front of them.

As if to maintain fairness, Ikoma walked straight towards the empty seat next to Wakatsuki, preparing to sit behind Nishino, and when he passed by Hoshimi, he just looked up and rubbed his eyes.

Hoshimi noticed that Ikoma was walking towards him and looked at him blankly, thinking that the other party wanted to sit with him, so he quickly picked up the backpack next to him and hugged it in his arms, looking forward to Ikoma sitting down with a welcome face.

Ikoma noticed that Hoshimi quickly picked up the bag and looked at him with glowing eyes, instantly received the other party's signal, and sat down unceremoniously, but this time she realized that something was wrong, and suddenly a cold air came from her side, which made her shiver.

"Is the air conditioner too cold?" Hoshimi looked at Ikoma with his bag in his arms, and raised his hand to close the fan blades of the air conditioner above his head.

Ikoma also felt strange, and subconsciously glanced at Nishino, who was sitting quietly on the seat near the corridor and unbuttoned the headphone cable and put it on slowly, without any intention of taking care of Ikoma, she turned back to look at Wakatsuki through the gap in the seat, Wakatsuki had closed her eyes and pretended to rest, and she was also wearing headphones on her ears, blocking the sound of the outside world.

Ikoma recalled today's day's itinerary, it was indeed compact and physically exhausting, and she had no intention of getting up as soon as she sat down, she was so tired that her body was sore, and there was some pain in her heels and knees from time to time, and she gently raised her hand to beat her knees.

Seeing this, Xingjian couldn't help but put down his mobile phone and teased: "Ichikuma returned to his hometown, which is completely following the state of Uncle Shanzato?" I know a very good masseur, do you need me to introduce you to you when you go back? ”

Ikoma looked at Hoshimi's eyes with a hint of cunning and danger, and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, "No need, just take a break, it's just a little tired of riding and running around today." ”

"Where is a little, I feel like I am about to lose half my life, you look at the corners of my mouth, are they all laughing with laugh lines, I feel like I am going to stiffen my smile today." Hoshimi raised his hand and rubbed his cheeks, making a few grimaces that made Ikoma laugh.

Nishino swept away a cold look, and silently retracted it, closing his eyes and looking at Wakatsuki before Hoshimi turned his head.

Hoshimi watched Nishino close his eyes and lean on the seat to make up for sleep, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Wakatsuki and Na-chan seem to be asleep, let's talk quietly." ”

"Okay." Ikoma's originally loud voice immediately became as thin as a mosquito, and she looked at the colorful mobile phone screen in the afterglow, and asked casually, "Isn't Miho ready to take a break?" What are you playing? ”

Hoshimi handed his phone to Ikoma, "What else can I play, I'm playing mahjong, I've just lost a handful, I can't always touch the cards I want when I play mahjong." ”

Ikoma looked curiously at the mahjong tiles on the screen and asked, "Is it fun?" ”

Hoshimi raised his eyebrows and thought about it, and said with a smile: "Mahjong is a thing like that, it's fun if you're lucky, but it's not fun if you can't always touch what you want like me." ”

"Then why don't you uninstall it yet, it feels like you're playing mahjong when you're free."

"Maybe I'm not convinced, even if I take a bad hand, I want to win, that's probably it."

Noticing that Ikoma was a little stunned, Hoshimi smiled and diverted the topic, she swiped the screen to exit the game, "Mai has also liked to play mahjong recently, but I just invited her and I haven't received a reply, and their group of promotional activities may not be over yet." ”

Ikoma continued to hang his legs, thought for a moment and said, "Really? It seems that our promotion this time is really going well. ”

"It's really thanks to a Kuma, because it's so much easier to advertise a Kuma." Hoshimi noticed that even now, the bus was heading towards the inn where it was resting, but the corners of Ikoma's mouth were still raised as they should be, and if it weren't for the fact that her hands were still pounding her sore, numb knees and calves, she might not have seen a tired shadow in Ikoma.

"Let's take a rest and go to the inn for a full meal later."

"Hmm." Ikoma grinned toothily and quietly leaned back in his chair to rest with his eyes closed, and after a while, Hoshimi heard the sound of even, long breathing coming from his side.

Hoshimi looked sideways at Ikoma's head bobbing up and down with the bus, the bumps of the bus didn't dispel Ikoma's sleepiness, she was tired, she thought.

Hoshimi put her head against the glass and looked at the green plants on the side of the road running backwards, put the headphones on her ears, there was still no sound in them, rarely, she suddenly had the urge to make the world restless, plugged in the headphone cable, in addition to Nogizaka's song, it was pure music and the homework sample assigned by the vocal teacher, she played it randomly, and the song of corporal punishment in her heart slowly came from the headphones, Nogizaka's poem.

Nishino, who was awakened by a sudden bump, opened her eyes, she turned her head just in time to see Hoshimi looking out the window in a daze, through the sleepy eyes that had not yet woken up, Nishino half-squinted at the smooth lines of Hoshimi's side face, her lips moved lightly as if she was singing the lyrics silently to the music in the headphones, the red glow of the sunset soaked her side face, and the white shirt on her upper body was also reflected in a light warm red.

Nishino turned her head to look at her car window, the window was closed firmly, and there was no midsummer breeze blowing in, but she felt her head being blown dizzy, if it wasn't for the breeze tugging at the heartstrings, what was it?

Nishino rubbed his eyes and couldn't help but put his eyes in Hoshimi's hand again, there seemed to be something in Hoshimi's headphones that made her feel funny, and the corners of her mouth suddenly hooked her cheeks and a shallow smile appeared. Nishino also wanted to laugh inexplicably, she bit her lower lip to restrain herself, but the corners of her mouth didn't obey the call, and she still hooked up mischievously.

The bus suddenly drove into a small tunnel, and the surroundings became pitch black, and suddenly brightened, and a second before it became brighter, it was obvious that Nishino was shaking her silhouette and the clear upward corners of her mouth on the window beside Hoshimi, she was shocked, and her cheeks were full of shame, and she quickly turned her face to the other side and didn't dare to look again.

The moment he suddenly fell into darkness and caused Hoshimi to fall into daylight, he was shaken and subconsciously narrowed, not noticing the shadow of Nishino that briefly appeared on the car window. The bus swayed and swayed, and Hoshimi was still singing familiar lyrics in her ears, and a dizzy feeling came over her, making her also sleepy and close her eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, the bus had already stopped safely in front of the hotel, and the staff woke them up and got off the bus first to check in.

The moment he got off the bus, the heat wave hit the traveler, Hoshimi threw his backpack on his back, raised his hand to cover the sun that was not too hot, walked quickly towards the hotel, and obediently returned to the bus halfway to help his teammates take their luggage.

The room was allocated according to two people, and there was no chance for Hoshimi to choose, so Ikoma took the room card and hugged Nishino's arm, fulfilling his cultivation as a fan, and trying to grasp every opportunity to contact the goddess as much as possible.

Hoshimi reached out and took his room card from the staff's hand, "Then I'll live with Wakatsuki, let's pack up our things first, will we eat together or separately for a while?" ”

"Let's do it together." Nishino rushed back first.

Hoshimi turned the room card in his hand and said loudly: "Okay, I'll see you later, you guys pack up and send a message." Let's go, Wakatsuki. ”

Slowly, he didn't take a few steps, but he just took his unsinking luggage back to his room, and Hoshimi's back was sweating a lot, and his uniform was soaked with sweat and stuck to his back. Walking into the room, Hoshimi dropped his luggage and took out a set of personal clothes and walked into the bathroom, and when he came out again, he held the changed uniform in his hand.

Wakatsuki was squatting next to the suitcase holding pajamas and private clothes, and she looked up at Hoshimi, who had finished removing her makeup and changing her clothes, and threw her uniform onto the chair to the side, and fell to the bed with a pounce.

Wakatsuki took her clothes and looked at Hoshimi who was lying on the bed like a caterpillar for a while, and couldn't help but pat her when she passed by, noticing that Hoshimi turned his head and shook her in dissatisfaction, and he didn't want to do it because he was lazy, and walked into the bathroom satisfied.

When Ruoyue came out again, Hoshimi was already lying on the bed with a pillow and holding his mobile phone to start a new mahjong journey. Ruoyue sat on the edge of the bed and waited patiently for Hoshimi to finish a game of mahjong in his hand before slowly asking, "Tell me, what's going on these days?" ”

Hoshimi looked at Wakatsuki strangely, not understanding what she meant, but he still obediently put his phone off and sat up with his hands propped up, "What's wrong?" ”

Wakatsuki quietly looked into Hoshimi's eyes and asked with concern, "Why don't you have energy?" ”

Hoshimi grabbed the pillow on his side and hugged it in his arms, looked up and smiled, "I'm too tired to walk today, it's normal to have no energy, take a good rest at night, and you can go back tomorrow, but there is a lot of publicity when you go back." She pouted silently, her feet dangling from the edge of the bed.

Ruoyue looked at Xingjian and didn't pay attention to her fuss, still looking at her seriously and not giving her a chance to dodge, and asked again: "I want to know, how are you doing these days... It's not that you don't have spirits, I just think there's something wrong with you. ”

Wakatsuki didn't know how to describe that feeling for a while, if it weren't for the fact that she had been in contact with Hoshimi for a longer time than Ikoma and Nishino, who had been working together under before, she would have been more keenly aware of Hoshimi's unusual attitude towards work.

Hoshimi looked at Wakatsuki's frowning brows and serious eyes, knowing that it was extremely difficult to fool Wakatsuki, and what was even more difficult was that she didn't want to lie when facing Wakatsuki, so she could only sigh and hug the pillow in her arms tighter.

"I didn't know I was like this anymore, I just felt like I had become someone I hated." Hoshimi's toes no longer swayed, and he hung blankly on the edge of the bed.

"Why do you think so?" Wakatsuki caught a glimpse of Hoshimi's shadow, "I think Miho, like Ikoma, never seemed to have changed, and although Miho always allowed me to see something very different, the Miho I recognized has never changed." ”

"Does Wakatsuki recognize me?" Hoshimi's palms began to sweat secretly, and he faintly looked forward to the self described in Wakatsuki's mouth, but he didn't dare to hear an unsatisfactory answer.

"The miho I know is a very powerful person.,Slowly it's a young man but always plays the role of a caretaker.,Surprisingly serious when dealing with work.,It's the existence that can suddenly take out a thick pile of information to calm everyone else.,It doesn't seem to cry.,Stronger than anyone else.,Even if you drop the selection, you can comforting others optimistically.,It seems that I don't care about the results of many things.,But it's often the last person to go in the practice room.。

Hoshimi scratched his ears shyly, and the roots of his ears turned red, and his face was stained with a red glow. However, Ruoyue didn't give her a chance to be ashamed for too long, so she asked more and more seriously: "So today when Miho is complaining with a hat, I will feel very strange when I hide behind alone and don't rush to the front to publicize, as a friend and sister, I hope Miho can rely on me." ”

Hoshimi opened his mouth, shook his head in a daze, and continued, "Isn't it as a mother?" ”

Ruoyue was stunned by her question, held her forehead for a moment and chuckled, and glared at her helplessly, "So can I know the reason why our usual variety show king is so quiet today?" ”

Hoshimi put away the smile on his face, put aside all the distractions, and explained in response to Wakatsuki's focused eyes: "I, ah, I had a quarrel with my mother some time ago, and now I'm staying at Nanamin's house, the reason for the quarrel is ...... Does Wakatsuki know? I grew so big, I never seemed to hear my mother praise me anything, I remember the first time I made a big table of dishes, I thought she would praise me for being good, but she just tasted it and told me that I could improve further. ”

"Later on, I found that I always didn't seem to be enough to satisfy her, and the most compliments she said to me were that you can be very good, if you do what you do, and then I will do what she wants. It wasn't until the day of the fight that I realized how much I hated always living like the honor student my mom was expecting, because I could never meet all her expectations, and I didn't want to be controlled. ”

"However, I seem to have unconsciously become a person like her, a workaholic, a control freak......"
