A group of three people followed the signs and finally arrived at the sea otter's habitat.
The sea otters in the aquarium are tame and very affectionate. They are not afraid of people at all. Instead, they look naive and lean over to observe.
Aoi Keisuke discovered that they are indeed a bit like dogs. Sea otters not only scratch with their hind legs, but also shake and shake water like dogs. Even their barks are "ouch".
Because of his presence, all the sea otters in the stadium heard the news and came towards them.
Although visitors are not allowed to touch the animals directly in the venue, if the sea otter is willing to get close, the closest position to the guardrail is only half a meter away, and you can basically smell the sea otter clearly.
"Kawaii~!"
Arisugawa and Hayaka Yuki turned into ruthless kawaii machines, taking out their mobile phones and turning on the continuous shooting mode.
Several sea otters began to flatter Qing Keisuke, took out clams from their stomach pockets, and stretched out their little hands to hand them to him.
Aoi Keisuke caught two of them and asked the staff to take out the clam meat inside, clean it, and then give it to Arisukawa and Asaka as a souvenir.
——Because it was given by a sea otter, even a shell is of great significance.
At least when she got the shell in the morning, she didn't notice it was Keisuke Aoi's gift at all. Instead, she was moved and said, "The sea otter is the cutest animal in the world." At this moment, she even forgot about the panda.
Arisukawa's eyes were bright, but very reserved. He just stared at Aoi Keisuke with a smile.
She was thinking, if she expressed her love while the dolphins were dancing, would the success rate really be higher?
At least now, if Aoi Keisuke wants to kiss her, she will definitely...well, maybe she will accept it with her eyes closed.
Aoi Keisuke didn't move too much, he just looked at Arisukawa and laughed softly.
"Like it?"
"Um."
Arisugawa Asuka lowered his eyebrows and looked at the shell in his hand, then quietly broke off half of it, walked over to Aoi Keisuke, and stuffed it into his hand.
"Return gift," she said.
Qing Keisuke looked at her and thought to himself, it would be nice if Yuki early in the morning wasn't there to distract her.
Yamato Nadeshiko broke through the Demon King's defenses with just two words.
…
In the evening, the three of them finished their visit and went home.
"Oh, after seeing so many fish, I want to eat fish again tonight!"
In the morning, Yuki waved goodbye to Arisugawa and Aoi Keisuke outside the window on the train. She had to send a message to her family quickly to give her instructions on the dishes for the evening.
Arisukawa and Aoi Keisuke watched her go away, and the girl took a long breath before taking a long breath. The aquarium was too big, and her physical strength bar today had been exhausted.
"Qinggui-kun, have you found your favorite fish?"
"Um……"
Qing Keisuke pondered for a while, looked at her and laughed softly: "Maybe."
"What is it?"
"shell?"
"What..." Yamato Nadeshiko's neck was dyed red, and her gentle voice unconsciously added a bit of sweetness: "A shell is not a fish."
"In that case, I don't have a particular favorite sea creature."
"Eh……"
Ten minutes later, the train bound for Shinjuku also pulled into the station. The two of them walked into the carriage and found a deserted corner to sit down.
The afterglow of summer filled the train along the way. The sun shone in through the glass windows, and bright dust hung in the air, swaying.
The train passed a section of coastline, and the surging tide in the distance was receding, revealing a dark beach. Crabs and stranded fish left traces on the tidal flats. Some people took advantage of the low tide to bring couples and children to play here.
Aoi Keisuke patted Arisukawa on the shoulder and asked her if she wanted to get off the bus here and go for a walk on the beach.
The girl who was already a little sleepy and almost fell asleep leaning on Qing Keisuke's shoulder woke up and nodded subconsciously.
She then raised her head and looked out the window. The setting sun was setting, the sea was clear and blue, and the shimmering water waves spread to the connection between the water and the sky.
"...It's so beautiful." Arisukawa couldn't help but say.
Being able to watch the low tide and sunset with Aoi Keisuke is really romantic.
The girl's world quietly became more colorful again, as if black and white piano keys were being played, and light music flowed out, making her want to follow the tangible melody to an unknown and mysterious place.
Arisukawa found to his embarrassment that he seemed to like Aoi Keisuke more and more.
Just the thought of him inviting me to take a walk at sunset brought about so many reveries.
"Stab-"
The train slowed down slowly and entered the station. There were many people getting off at this station, most of them were going to the beach, and some even brought buckets and tongs for picking crabs.
The exit of the station was a little crowded, so Arisukawa just hesitated for a moment and immediately grabbed the corner of Keisuke Aoi's clothes.
When he looked at her doubtfully, she pulled up her hair a little shyly and said, "Don't leave me behind, Qinggui-kun."
"Well, don't worry, I can find you no matter where you are, Arisukawa."
"Really?"
Qing Keisuke smiled but did not answer.
After walking a few hundred meters further from the station, the two finally arrived at this narrow, unowned beach. Strictly speaking, this place was definitely not as beautiful as those famous beaches, but it was just right for the moment.
The crowd dispersed, leaving enough private space for everyone.
The sea breeze is refreshing and lingering, carrying the floating clouds from the sea to the land, disturbing the girl's hair and reluctant to leave.
The sand under your feet is fine and soft, as white as marble, and feels like cake when you step on it.
Arisugawa walked beside Aoi Keisuke with his hands clasped behind his back, his steps light, the same pure white skirt fluttering in the wind, constantly blowing in the direction of Aoi Keisuke.
The two people did not go to the edge of the sea, play in the sea, or try to find hermit crabs on the beach. They just walked along the coastline, avoiding the crowds, and walked quietly from one end to the other.
This is Arisugawa's unique charm. Even without words, the implicit and restrained tenderness is enough to touch people's hearts.
In the shadow cast by the mountain rock, Qing Keisuke looked into Arisukawa Asuka's eyes. What rich emotions were contained in those gentle eyes at this moment?
Qing Keisuke couldn't distinguish them one by one, but those soft and tough emotions surged into his heart like waves, making him no longer a separate and closed self.
Arisugawa Asuka imprinted his soul and breath into his body, imprisoning him inside.
"Qing Guijun..." The girl avoided his sight, her long eyelashes trembling, as if she contained all the beauty in the world.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I……"
Qing Keisuke didn't know how many times he wanted to kiss Arisugawa Asuka today, but even now, without Yuki's interference in the morning, he restrained himself.
Because he knew that before that, he had something to confess about Arisugawa Asuka.
He stretched out his hand to smooth down a few strands of Arisichuan's messy hair, and said with a smile: "Arisichuan, you are really beautiful."
"She stood before the setting sun. The sea and the sky were all the same color, not even as bright as the strands of her hair."
