After filming the commercial, Kazuki Nishino returned to the office in his business car. It was about an hour before dinner time.
This afternoon, it suddenly started to rain lightly in Tokyo. Although it was a small amount, it continued to rain all afternoon. The wheels of the car ran over the puddle and splashed a lot of water.
Pedestrians on the road were all holding umbrellas. Nishino Kazuki was idle and bored. He deliberately observed the colors of the pedestrians' umbrellas along the way and memorized the number of red umbrellas. He did not give up until the reminder sound on his mobile phone rang.
Boring behavior.
I took out my phone and opened the line software skillfully. There was only one new message, and the avatar was unfamiliar.
By the way, this is Nana Hashimoto, a member of Nogizaka46.
Nishino Kazuki remembered that Hashimoto's online friend application seemed to have been approved this morning. He was not familiar with her, so what did he want to say when she suddenly added him as a friend?
Clicking on Hashimoto Nanami's avatar only showed one unread message.
【Hello Nishino-san, I am Hashimoto Nanami.】
It looked quite serious, and Nishino Kazuki immediately replied.
【I am Kazuki Nishino, hello Hashimoto-san.】
Hashimoto:【Please take care of me.】
Nishino:【This is my side.】
This sense of distance and way of talking reminded Nishino Kazuki of his previous life in China, when his mother introduced a girl to a blind date. After the two of them added WeChat, the conversation started like this. It was awkward, I don’t know.
What can I say?
After Nishino Kazuki finished sending, there was no reply for several minutes.
Simply adding a friend?
On the other side, Nana Hashimoto was looking through Kazuki Nishino's liime (moments). She originally wanted to ask him what he thought, but she thought that it would be too straightforward if she went directly to Kazuki Nishino.
He is also unfamiliar with her, giving others the impression of being impolite, and may even lower Nogizaka's evaluation in his eyes.
So Hashimoto Nanami's strategy is to talk about something else first, then make insinuations, and finally ask questions.
However, after a moment of impulse, Hashimoto Nana felt regretful that she had known better and had not done anything. Why did she get involved in the affairs of those two guys? Her current mission should not be to accompany her friend Mai Mai who was about to graduate.
.
So she glanced at Mai Fukawa sitting next to her. She seemed to be resting with her eyes closed.
Thinking about it randomly, Hashimoto Nanami's own line sounded, and it was Nishino Kazuki who had sent it himself.
【Hashimoto-san seems to like reading books?】
Mainly anti-customer? Hashimoto Nanami frowned. This guy actually sent a message to her first. He probably looked at her liime, where she would sometimes post a few reading essays.
Thinking like this, Nana Hashimoto suddenly thought of a good plan, and immediately typed it and sent it.
[Yes, I know Nishino-san that you are a top student who graduated from Waseda, and my favorite writer also graduated from Waseda. 】
【Haruki Murakami?】
One of Waseda's most famous writers is him.
【No, Teacher Miura Shion.】
[I can’t bear the heavy burden of being alone, and at the same time I feel ashamed that I can’t bear the loneliness.] This is from Kazuki Nishino.
[Have Nishino-san also watched "Tada Convenience House"?] Nana Hashimoto came back immediately, and Nishino Kazuki sent lines from the book.
"Tada Convenience House" is Miura Shion's masterpiece. She won the Japan Naoki Prize for this book. It is probably a tender story about two men. Nishino Kazuki happened to have read it because this book was made into a movie of the same name.
, and coincidentally, the director is Tatsuki Omori, who previously collaborated with Kazuki Nishino.
[I only read it occasionally because the movie of the same name was very good.] When Nishino Kazuki returned, he didn’t want to pretend to be an artistic young man. It was very tiring.
Hashimoto Nana chatted with him about Miura Shion's other works. Nishino Kazuki looked at her words. Her words were not very enthusiastic, but she always made him feel a different meaning. How should I say? Just
It's like a person with a certain hobby mentions something he is proud of with a somewhat conceited and restrained air, but what is revealed between the lines is his extraordinary love for it.
Although Nishino Kazuki couldn't see her expression.
The commercial vehicle that Nana Hashimoto was operating at the moment was moving, preparing to go to the next place.
Sitting next to her was Mai Fukawa, watching her busy hairline, with a faint smile from time to time.
When Hashimoto Nana didn't stop using her phone, Fukawa Mai leaned over and asked: "Nanamin, who are you chatting with, are you so happy?"
Hashimoto Nana was stunned after hearing her voice.
No, I was obviously trying to make some subtle move. I had just thought of a strategy, so why was Nishino Kazuki brought in all of a sudden?
The exchange between the two turned into a friendly conversation between literature lovers.
"No, I just saw something funny." Hashimoto Nana said without hiding it.
"Oh, that's right." Mai Fukawa didn't dig deeper, nodded, and turned back.
After Hashimoto Nana brought her thoughts to the topic, she edited another message.
[Nishino-san, I wonder if you have read the works of the American writer David Salinger? 】
【"The Catcher in the Rye"?】
This work is quite famous, with 60 million copies sold worldwide. Nishino Kazuki used his mobile phone to Google again, and found that this writer wrote anti-hero and anti-cliché stories, and he only wrote this one in his life.
"The Catcher in the Rye" is a novel, and the rest are short stories.
After a while, Hashimoto Nanami came back with a message.
[I recommend Nishino-san to read his short story "The Broken Story Heart". There is a very good sentence in it: Some people think that love is sex, marriage, a kiss at 6:30 in the morning, and a bunch of children.
Do you know what I think? I think love is a hand that wants to touch but then withdraws.】
Nishino Kazuki stared at the news blankly, feeling that there was something in Hashimoto Nana's words.
How could he be overwhelmed by her? Nishino Kazuki quickly Googled this novel and spent five minutes reading it. Because it was published in a magazine, it was very short.
[But the story tells us that if you give up your courage, you will no longer be able to touch that person with your retracted hands.]
[Don’t you think this is also a good ending? At least the two of them gained each other’s lovers and families in the end.] Hashimoto Nana’s message came quickly.
[But how do you know that the lover you harvest must be a good one? Maybe the two protagonists still have a knot in their hearts. 】
[That is always just your imagination, Nishino-san. When there is no result, insisting that you have met the right person, or even giving up something, is it a bit cruel to yourself? There are always many opposites in this world.
More than others.]
Nishino Kazuki stared at the message she sent, feeling a little dizzy because he couldn't argue with this girl.
He shook his head. Since I couldn't say anything, don't blame me for not saying anything. He closed the line and was not going to reply to the message.
At this moment, suddenly a new message popped up on line. Nishino and Itsuki wanted to put their phone in their pocket, but they couldn't help but open line.
Ah, it turned out to be Nishino Nanase, he was beaming.
[He Shusang, have you read the comics I sent you last time? I also like the pendant you sent me last time.] The message also added a cute animal emoticon, followed immediately by a picture.
, is a picture of the pendant she sent hanging on her mobile phone.
Nishino Kazuki thought it would be more comfortable to chat with this shy little guy, so he quickly sent a message: [Of course I watched it, the protagonist is so awesome.]
The last gift Nishino Nanase gave was the comic "Silver Fang".
In fact, he didn't read much at all, he just flipped through the first few pages.
[Really? I also think Yin is very powerful~~]
It turns out that the protagonist is called "Silver", Nishino Kazuki nodded.
He started chatting with Nishino Nanase and completely ignored Hashimoto Nanami.
As for Hashimoto Nanami, she was still waiting for his reply. Five minutes had passed and she still hadn't come back.
Nanamin tapped the screen of her phone and snorted. Sure enough, she would not reply, you coward.
