Just when I got downstairs, a light rain started to fall from the sky. It was clear that there was still good weather with sunshine in the day, but at night it was drizzled by a gentle breeze.
Mai Shiraishi stretched out her hand, caught a few raindrops in her palm, and brushed them away with her fingers.
Her nose suddenly became sour, she sighed softly, and then walked into the rain.
At this moment, Nishino Kazuki is sitting on the sofa. The variety show broadcast on the TV station is his favorite, but at this moment, there is always an inexplicable irritability in his heart that affects him, causing him to barely watch the TV content at all.
"What's wrong with Mr. Kazuki?" Erika Ikuta saw that he was distracted and asked.
"I don't know, I just feel uncomfortable somewhere."
"Is it physically?"
"No." Nishino Kazuki also sighed, feeling an inexplicable sense of crisis, "I can't explain it clearly, I just can't concentrate."
With that said, Nishino Kazuki stood up and walked to the window.
Lifting the curtains and looking outside, I found that thin raindrops had hung on the glass of the window, leaving traces that were undetectable.
"It's raining..."
It won't get bigger again.
He remembered that Mai Shiraishi had just gone out, and if she couldn't get a taxi, she wouldn't be allowed to stay in the rain. He didn't know if she had an umbrella in her bag.
Thinking of this, Nishino Kazuki closed the curtains, then turned around and ran to the cabinet in the living room where the sundries were kept, picked up an umbrella, and trotted out.
"Teacher Kazuki, why are you going?" Erika Ikuta shouted.
"I'm going to give Mai an umbrella."
Nishino Kazuki left this sentence, but the person had already opened the door and went out.
When he walked out of the apartment door, he found that the rain outside had become heavier. Nishino Kazuki immediately opened his umbrella and ran to the door.
There was no one waiting on the roadside. Nishino Kazuki walked around for a while but didn't find Mai Shiraishi.
I guess I got there by taxi.
Nishino Kazuki stood there and took one last look.
Then he turned around, took out his mobile phone, and called Shiraishi Mai.
The phone rang seven or eight times before it was answered.
"Hey, Mai." Nishino Kazuki said first.
"What's wrong?"
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little thick.
"It's raining outside, I want to get you an umbrella." Nishino Kazuki said, "Where are you now? Have you got in the car?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and then the sound of Mai Shiraishi sniffing came.
"Hmm." This sound was obvious.
"What's wrong?" Nishino Kazuki felt something was wrong.
"It's okay, I've already got in the car, please go back quickly."
Nishino Kazuki knew that she must be hiding something from him, and she couldn't be in the car at the moment.
"You're still here, right?" Nishino Kazuki thought her eyes were weird today.
"..." After a while, he said, "I'm really fine..."
By the time she said this, Nishino Kazuki had already found her.
Mai Shiraishi was sitting alone on a bench in the corner, leaning on the edge of the armrest, as if crying.
Nishino Kazuki's heart twitched, and he immediately ran over, put the umbrella on her head, then bent down and stroked her hair.
Then before Shiraishi Mai raised her head, one hand held her tightly in her arms.
When Shiraishi Mai saw him like this, she unconsciously leaned her head against his, and then rested her head on his broad shoulder.
"I'm sorry." Nishino Kazuki said, and he guessed in his mind, "Did I do something?"
He really didn't know, but the girl's crying made him feel heartbroken.
Mai Shiraishi shook her head in his arms. This was her own business. She couldn't control the thoughts in her heart. The tiny jealousy sprouted and grew up there, and then burst out after leaving Nishino Kazuki today.
She was too embarrassed to say it directly because she didn't want him to think she was that kind of woman.
Nishino Kazuki had already put away his umbrella and sat on the bench next to Shiraishi Mai.
The hand holding her was still tight, and Mai Shiraishi also hugged him.
Just didn't speak.
Seeing her recovery, Nishino Kazuki comforted her softly: "You can tell me anything you want and I will listen. But if there is something you don't want to say, you don't have to tell me. I respect your choice."
Nishino Kazuki is very open-minded. When two people get along, they always need some privacy. Being honest with each other spiritually would make the two of them feel too boring.
"Yeah." Mai Shiraishi wiped her tears with her hands, then didn't raise her head, "I've put all my makeup on, it's so ugly..."
"It's okay, I like everything about you." Nishino Kazuki said sweetly.
"Nonsense."
"I folded the scarf you knitted and put it in the drawer, and I kept all the love words you sent me in my mind." After Nishino Kazuki said this, Shiraishi Mai also raised her head.
The two of them really started to be together in the lavender park in Gunma. She still remembered Nishino Kazuki's appearance back then.
Now more than half a year has passed, but it is still clear.
The sadness that surged up in my heart has almost disappeared.
Nishino Kazuki gently stroked her hair, helped her straighten her bangs, and then kissed her forehead.
"Go back and sleep with Erika today." Nishino Kazuki said.
Mai Shiraishi left Erika Ikuta before, and she still had hope in her heart. On the one hand, she longed for Nishino Kazuki to find out that something was wrong with her and come out to find her, but on the other hand, she didn't want her to discover her behavior.
Lu Xun once said that women are contradictory creatures, and this sentence is probably true.
At least Nishino Kazuki felt it.
"Well, can you wait a little longer?"
"good."
The two people just hugged each other, covered by umbrellas, and sat quietly on the bench.
There will always be a day when everyone is sentimental. The trivial and troublesome emotional matters in life are like being put in a locked basket and suddenly being untied. They are dumped from above and hit on their heads.
People will become sad and sad.
And after this state of affairs has passed, when I think back to my behavior, I wish I could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Afterwards, the two returned to Erika Ikuta's apartment.
When Erika Ikuta saw the two people entering the door, she wondered: "Why didn't you go home, Mai-kun?"
"Because it was raining and it was troublesome to take a taxi, I came back." Nishino Kazuki said and helped her tidy up her clothes.
"That's it."
Erika Ikuta nodded. She thought it was a world between two people, but she came back in the blink of an eye.
"Go take a shower first, you'll catch a cold later."
Mai Shiraishi nodded slightly.
"I won't be here today." Nishino Kazuki said, "You two have a good rest."
It's also great for two girls to talk about their private feelings.
"Thank you." Mai Shiraishi stood on tiptoes and kissed him on the face.
Then, Erika Ikuta did the same thing on the other side.
