The two sat across the couch, speechless to each other.

Because of what happened before, their relationship hasn't gotten back together.

Occasional eye contact can quickly be staggered.

Maybe it's the distance that produces beauty, and the invisible but existing estrangement makes it impossible for two people to be as close as before.

"It's beautiful."

Hikaru Kurosawa looked at her delicate face and couldn't help but admire it in her heart.

Before that, he had never seen Miss Ninomiya look like this, that is, in pajamas.

Maybe not a nightdress, but the silky smooth fabric and soft dried fruit color added a bit of weakness to her cold and glamorous appearance.

White wrists, delicate snow necks, slender calves, and barefoot in the slippers, which are not covered with nails and whitewash.

The only fly in the ointment and distressing thing is her dark circles.

"Ugh."

Chizuru Ninomiya sat on the sofa, and from time to time she saw his deep and good-looking eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

I have to say that Hikaru Kurosawa's eyes are very good-looking, very dark, but the facial features are deep and three-dimensional, and those eyes look a little cold, but they are extremely attractive, tender and affectionate, and fascinating.

With such good-looking eyes, it would be nice to look at her alone.

Compared with before, his appearance has not changed, but compared to the previous look, full of self-confidence, his current temperament is a little more melancholy, as if there is something troubled.

"It's a little late, I'll go back first."

After sitting silent for a while, Hikaru Kurosawa glanced around the living room and said as he looked at the wall clock.

The time I entered the door just now was 11:12, but now it's 11:35, so I've been sitting for a long time.

"Hmm."

When Chizuru Ninomiya heard this, she raised her eyes and glanced at him and nodded slightly.

"Didn't you keep me?" Seeing her nod, Hikaru Kurosawa couldn't help but feel pity.

He didn't want to squeeze a bed with her and sleep together, but after all, this is a two-bedroom room type, and there is an empty room.

If it was before the relationship fell to a freezing point, maybe he would have been able to stay here for one night.

"I can only take my time."

It's just that Hikaru Kurosawa was not discouraged, but was mentally prepared for a protracted battle.

Being able to receive Miss Ninomiya's message tonight is already a major development.

You know, this morning he still felt that everything was over, and he was still having a headache when he was alone at home just now.

As a result, I didn't expect that I forgot to send a message last night, but I hit it crookedly and forced Miss Ninomiya to reply to him.

Coming to the entrance together, Hikaru Kurosawa sat down and put on his shoes.

"When you walk past your neighbor's house, turn your back to you."

Ninomiya Chizuru stood with one hand and crossed his arms, watching him put on his shoes, and also spoke.

"Why?"

Hearing this request, Hikaru Kurosawa was a little surprised.

"There is an aunt who lives next door, and she usually gossips, if she squats and watches at the cat's eye, and sees you leaving my house so late, especially if she finds out that you are a student of Tokyo University, it will be very troublesome."

Chizuru Ninomiya saw that he didn't understand and explained to him.

Aunties are the gossip group, they like to watch the excitement the most, and the gossip is extremely popular.

There was a man visiting in the middle of the night, and the news alone could have a certain impact on her reputation.

If it is discovered, this man is the student she was in charge of before she resigned, and in a more serious way, it may even evolve into social news.

In Neon, teacher-student love is a taboo.

This is also the reason why when she was a teacher before, she didn't dare to have too much contact with Kurosawa, and only dared to have a little contact with him when she went out and in a remote and uninhabited place.

Originally, she quit her job as a teacher, and she could be more bold with Hikaru Kurosawa...... It turned out that something happened, and it really didn't go well.

"It's so serious...... Shall I wait until tomorrow? ”

Hikaru Kurosawa was aware of her troubles, and she was also homeopathic.

"It's very troublesome to be seen visiting in the middle of the night, and if someone is seen going out of my house early in the morning, the problem is even more serious, and during the day, there are many people."

In response to this proposal, Ninomiya Chi raised his hand and shook his head.

Even if it was so late, she didn't mean to keep Kurosawa here for the night, that's why.

If Kurosawa is allowed to spend the night here, the situation will only be more complicated and troublesome.

In this apartment, there are many people related to the University, in addition to the teachers and students at the university, there are also some graduates of the University of Tokyo and their parents.

She is a celebrity in this apartment, after all, she is a relatively rare female teacher at Tokyo University.

As for Hikaru Kurosawa, he is now a popular figure at Tokyo University, and after the archery competition, the discussion of him in various groups on campus has skyrocketed.

"Then why don't I sit down a little longer? A little later, you can be safe. ”

Hikaru Kurosawa couldn't help but say when she saw her hair-pulling movements, revealing gentleness and beauty.

Originally, he was determined to leave, knowing that it would be impossible to solve the relationship between the two people tonight, but his heart still wanted to spend more time with Miss Ninomiya.

Even if the atmosphere is awkward, as long as you can be with her, you can feel her presence.

“……”

Hearing this proposal, Chizuru Ninomiya was a little tempted, but his eyes were on the shoes he had already put on.

In fact, she also wanted to spend a little more time with Kurosawa, and although it was annoying and sad to see him, it was better than not seeing him.

It's just that he has put on his shoes, and if he takes them off and goes back to sit for a while, I'm afraid the situation will be even more embarrassing.

"I'm a little thirsty, drink some water and go."

Silence is sometimes an answer, and Hikaru Kurosawa senses her gaze and cheekily takes off the shoes she just put on.

"Are you thirsty?"

Chizuru Ninomiya couldn't help but ask when she saw that he had taken off his shoes and stood up.

"Just now I ran all the way from my house to the street, flagged down a taxi, and then arrived at this apartment, because I didn't have an elevator card, I climbed all the way upstairs."

Hikaru Kurosawa nodded slightly and explained.

Maybe his body, with the blessing of various permanent skills, has been strengthened a lot, but after all, he is human.

Two all-out sprints, and even climbed the seventh floor in one breath, although he won't pant heavily, but a little dry mouth is inevitable, and he didn't have time to drink saliva when he came home from his part-time job.

"You climbed the stairs to get up?"

Suddenly aware of this situation, Ninomiya Chizuru's beautiful eyes revealed a different color.

Thinking about it carefully, Hikaru Kurosawa arrived at her door in just ten minutes after receiving her message.

Although this sudden visit was overwhelming...... But if you think about it, his phone is broken, and he rushed all the way to give her a reply, so you can expect his anxiety.

"Fortunately, you live on the seventh floor, not the seventeenth floor, not the twenty-seventh floor." Hikaru Kurosawa smiled.

"I was negligent, I'll pour you a glass of water."

Seeing the handsome smile on his face, Chizuru Ninomiya pursed his lips, his arms trembled slightly, raised his head and stroked his hair, then turned around and walked back to the house again.

Seeing her movements, Hikaru Kurosawa also hurried to follow.

"Give."

When Hikaru Kurosawa sat down on the sofa again, Chizuru Ninomiya brought him a paper cup, as well as a 2-liter bottle of mineral water.

“？？？”

Seeing this scene, Hikaru Kurosawa couldn't help but look sideways, this bottle of mineral water was an operation he didn't expect.

"It's ice water."

Facing his strange gaze, Ninomiya Chizuru also explained.

Maybe the neon tap water can be drunk directly, but she is still used to such large bottles of mineral water...... After all, you don't have to go to the faucet again and again to get water, which saves time and effort.

"Thank you." Kurosawa nodded, then unscrewed the cap and poured a glass of water, then drank it down.

"Ah......h

Hikaru Kurosawa let out a sigh of admiration, in this sultry summer, drinking ice water is really cool.

Sitting back in the position just now, Chizuru Ninomiya was very comfortable and comfortable when he saw him replenishing water, a little happy, but then a burst of upset.

This villain, who is good to her and good to other women, really doesn't know what to do with him.

Just received a good night from her, and excitedly pinched the phone.

As a result, the phone broke down, but it was 100,000 who rushed over from his house in a hurry, just to give her a reply.

It's hard not to be happy with the care and care shown in such an action.

When Hikaru Kurosawa finished drinking the water and looked up, it was a gaze.

On the delicate face of Chizuru Ninomiya, the eyes full of grievances are very touching.

This look and gaze is like looking at a negative man, with complex emotions.

Being stared at by her like this, Hikaru Kurosawa was very weak-hearted, and poured another glass of ice water to drink.

"I don't know if Miss Runa told her ......"

Between the weakness of his heart, Hikaru Kurosawa also muttered in his heart.

What the hell is going on, it is naturally the matter of Xiao Yuji joining the Zero Hour Office.

Regarding this matter, he can't be justified, after all, the office can rent a house, and even open it, Miss Ninomiya has contributed a lot of start-up capital.

Although he cared, he couldn't ask...... Originally, the atmosphere in which they met was awkward enough, and if other girls were mentioned, it would only be even worse.

He had already made up his mind that he would never mention other women unless they took the initiative to ask.

There is no further explanation of this matter, so it is better to wait until tomorrow to ask Miss Runa.

If the firm wants to make money, relying on his strength alone, it is still too thin, and if you add Xiao Yuki and expand the business, the speed of rise will only be faster.

The two of them didn't say anything, just sat silently.

After sitting for a while, Hikaru Kurosawa felt tormented.

Because this time, Miss Ninomiya's grievances seem to be overflowing, and she can't hide it at all.

"It's 12 o'clock, it's almost time to go back."

It wasn't until twelve o'clock that the wall clock sounded the hour, and Hikaru Kurosawa seized the opportunity to speak.

"Hmm."

Chizuru Ninomiya didn't notice that her eyes were very sad, but she felt that the atmosphere was very stiff, and she didn't stop him when she saw that he was going home.

"Rest early, good night."

Coming to the entrance again, Hikaru Kurosawa put on his shoes and turned around and said.

"The same goes for you."

Greeting in person, Chizuru Ninomiya's lips moved slightly, as if the words of good night were unspeakable, and finally changed direction.
