After eating Western food, the two of them left the restaurant. It was about 9 o'clock in the evening. Due to the location, the roadside was quiet and there were few pedestrians. They walked a few steps to a more remote corner, where there happened to be a public park.
The two sat there next to each other and waited for Nishino Kazuki's manager to drive to pick them up.
Both of them drank some wine. Shiraishi Mai's face was slightly blushing. Not far away, she could see the lights shining brightly. The November night wind was a bit cold, but it wasn't enough to make people tremble, but it was probably enough to make it necessary.
The tightness of the collar of clothes.
Because Shiraishi Mai couldn't drink too much, Nishino Kazuki drank most of the bottle of red wine alone. In addition, he drank a few small glasses of other things later. He didn't drink well, so he probably only had more than one bottle.
Now I'm a little tipsy. When I walk, my steps subconsciously become faster, but my head is very clear, but my speech is even more out of tune.
Nishino Kazuki leaned back on his chair and looked up at the night sky. The moon above was cold and faint, without any light.
The two fell silent, and no one spoke.
As if feeling this tranquility, Shiraishi Mai closed her eyes, the wind blew gently, she sniffed and smelled the scent of Nishino Kazuki, which had a fresh smell.
Mai Shiraishi liked this quiet feeling and even enjoyed it a little.
"A little sleepy, aren't you?" Nishino Kazuki broke the silence. He always felt sleepy after drinking, especially in this environment.
Mai Shiraishi shook her head.
"When I'm sleepy, I feel a little cold." Nishino Kazuki said, taking out a gray scarf from his backpack and wrapping it around his neck.
"It's just for this time." Nishino Kazuki breathed out gently, then turned to Shiraishi Mai and said, "I'll just shut up for a while and wait for the car to come and call me."
He was really sleepy. In fact, he worked late into the night last night and didn't catch up on any sleep today.
"I know." Mai Shiraishi put on her mask, combed her hair with her hands, and then tucked it behind her ears.
Nishino Kazuki closed his eyes directly, and then the surroundings fell silent. Only his plain breathing reached Mai Shiraishi's ears from time to time.
After a while, Nishino Kazuki actually fell asleep.
She slipped from the position of leaning on the back of the chair and fell on Shiraishi Mai's shoulders. Shiraishi Mai's shoulders sank, and then she supported Nishino Kazuki's head. Fortunately, Nishino's weight was not heavy, so it was still maintained.
Stay there so he doesn't fall down.
Really asleep?
Shiraishi Mai turned her head slightly and saw that half of his face was wrapped in a scarf, only his nose and closed eyes were exposed.
The frivolous expression I usually use to make fun of myself is completely different from the one I have now. It’s just that my eyelashes are so long, I’m a little envious.
Shiraishi Mai didn't dare to play with her mobile phone, fearing that her movements would disturb him when she took it out, so she could only look at him and count his eyelashes.
Probably due to the effect of alcohol, Mai Shiraishi saw that he was motionless, so she slowly stretched out her hand, slightly changed her body position, and pinched Nishino Kazuki's cheek with her hand.
Then he raised his head with a smile. Nishino Kazuki, who usually knew everything, fell on his shoulders like a big boy and slept peacefully.
I don't seem to reject this situation at all.
After a while, Nishino Kazuki woke up on his own. He felt that he was leaning on Shiraishi Mai's shoulder, and he immediately sat back upright.
"Are your shoulders numb?" Nishino Kazuki looked at her, and Shiraishi Mai also looked at him.
"It's okay, it's just that you snore too loudly and it's very noisy." Mai Shiraishi joked deliberately.
"No way, I remember that I don't know how to snore." Nishino Kazuki seemed to believe it. At this moment, he was more than half sober from the wine. Just recalling the taste of the wine would make him feel disgusted.
It's better to drink less next time.
"By the way, I almost forgot." Nishino Kazuki said to Shiraishi Mai, "Wait a minute."
Mai Shiraishi looked at him curiously, watching him take out something from his bag and put it in a box.
"Here, here." Nishino Kazuki handed the small box to her.
"What?" Shiraishi Mai was puzzled, but took it anyway.
"Gift."
"Why did you give me a gift?"
"Because I didn't give it to you for your last birthday." Nishino Kazuki tilted his head with a smile on his face.
Mai Shiraishi was disturbed by this sudden gift, and felt inexplicable emotions welling up in her heart.
"But you didn't get to know me on my last birthday."
"It doesn't matter, we don't know each other now."
"..." Shiraishi Mai was startled, looked at his face steadily, and after a while, said, "Thank you."
"After all, I killed you today." Nishino Kazuki added, "I still have to please this little rich woman like you."
Mai Shiraishi held the gift in one hand, lightly hit him with the other hand, and then showed a gentle smile.
The street lights were a little dim, and the two of them were sitting very close. Nishino Kazuki could see her eyes, which were bright and moist, like newly opened springs, clear and bright.
The two of them looked at each other like this, and the air seemed to be filled with extremely fine fresh beads. Taking a deep breath always gave people a different feeling.
The atmosphere is a bit subtle.
At this time, a pedestrian suddenly approached, and the two subconsciously moved their positions and half-turned around to prevent the pedestrian from seeing the front.
After the pedestrians left, it returned to its original state, but the atmosphere was no longer the same as before.
"Is the car not here yet?" Shiraishi Mai asked.
The two of them have been waiting here for a long time, and they made this call just after eating.
"I don't know, I'll make another call." Nishino Kazuki took out his mobile phone, pulled down the scarf around his neck, and then called.
The call was connected, but the ringtone of the mobile phone came from not far away.
Nishino Kazuki and Shiraishi Mai looked in the direction where the ringing came from in surprise, and then Murakami Shin walked out.
"Nishino, Shiraishi-san, I just parked the car and was about to call to confirm the location." Murakami nodded and approached, saying hello, but there was a different light in his eyes.
"Then let's go, it's a bit cold outside." Nishino Kazuki said to Murakami Nobu.
"plz follow me."
The two followed Nobu Murakami and walked side by side, one wearing a scarf and the other wearing a mask, and they looked quite in tune.
After getting in the car, Kazuki Nishino and Mai Shiraishi sat in the back seat. Today, they drove Nobu Murakami’s own car and did not use the company’s business car.
"Send her off first, the address is xxxx" Nishino Kazuki said towards the front.
"Okay." Murakami replied, but looked at Nishino Kazuki several times in the rearview mirror.
The car started driving and entered the road.
No one spoke to the two people in the back row, and the car was completely quiet.
When she arrived at her destination, Shiraishi Mai straightened her messy clothes and got out of the car.
"Thank you Murakami-san, and" she waved her hand, "thank you Nishino-kun for the gift."
The second half of the sentence was spoken very softly, like cotton wool.
After saying goodbye, the car started again.
Just as Nishino Kazuki was about to say something, he heard Murakami Shinbu say something.
