Nishino Nanase got into a taxi after finishing her day's work. She was a little tired today and wanted to go home, but suddenly she remembered Ikuta Erika's invitation, so she sighed softly and told the driver to go to Ikuta's house.
Knocking on the door of Erika Ikuta's apartment, it took about a minute for there to be a reply. It was obvious that he had spoken on the phone before coming, but this time made Nishino Nanase feel a little long.
"Nana-chan, you're here. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Erika Ikuta smiled and introduced her through the door.
Nishino Nanase followed her to the entrance hall, thinking about the way she greeted him just now, and felt that the other party had changed a lot.
It was clear that he still had a troubled and sad face two days ago, but today he looked like a different person, with a bright smile, as if something good had happened.
Erika Ikuta and Nanase Nishino rarely meet alone in private. Now they have this opportunity because they stand on the same side. They have their own friends in the Nogizaka group, and they are always used to hanging out with each other when they go out.
Familiar people.
"Nana-chan, sit down quickly, do you want something to drink?" Erika Ikuta asked towards Nishino Nanase.
"No, I'll sit down for a while and then leave." Nishino Nanase glanced at the women's watch on her right wrist. It was now 8 o'clock in the evening. She set a one-hour deadline for herself in her mind, and the work consumption tonight
gave her a lot of energy.
"Then let me get you a glass of water." Erika Ikuta ran to the kitchen, and Nishino Nanase heard her voice again, "You need to take a rest first."
Nishino Nanase was helpless at the other party's hurried temper. After sitting down, he looked around.
After a while, Erika Ikuta came out of the kitchen.
"Here, here."
"Thanks."
Nishino Nanase took the water glass handed over by Erika Ikuta, took a sip, and placed it on the coffee table.
"By the way, Na-chan, what did you tell me this evening?" Erika Ikuta asked after sitting down by herself.
"Today I went to TV Asahi to record a variety show and met him..." Nishino Nanase said this. She raised her eyes and glanced at Erika Ikuta. She thought the other person would show a different expression, but it turned out that
Nothing has changed at all.
"What's wrong?" Erika Ikuta saw that she only started to say something and then stopped.
"It's okay." Nishino Nanase continued, "I think Mai's attitude is very determined, as if she really wants to cut off her past thoughts, and her attitude towards Kazuki is also very bad."
Nishino Nanase wanted to see her reaction, but Erika Ikuta just nodded.
"Aren't you curious about what she said?" Nishino Nanase asked. She felt strange. With Erika Ikuta's character, she shouldn't behave like this.
Erika Ikuta paused and then said: "It's nothing more than some heartless words. I know that Mai is such a person and likes to force herself into some kind of desperate situation. This is true at work, and it should be the same in relationships.
"
Nishino Nanase was shocked that Erika Ikuta could say such a thing. In her impression, the other person was not such a person at all.
"Then what do Ikuta-chan think? I want to hear it." Nishino Nanase wanted to find common ground on emotions, which is why he came today.
"Ah, I have figured it out now." Erika Ikuta suddenly stood up and took a few steps closer to Nishino Nanase, "For us, first of all, we have to ask ourselves how we feel about him.
What do you think?"
"Can this kind of relationship withstand what happened this time? If you really let it go, then why bother mentioning him again?"
"Everyone's pericardium has a hard shell, and the things that can break through it are extremely limited. Probably because of this, we have such troubles."
"Personal ideas do not need to be forcefully demanded and changed because of certain things."
After Ikuta Erika finished speaking, she stared at Nishino Nanase's face.
She thought about these words for several days after she surrendered. It was originally intended to comfort Shiraishi Mai, but now faced with Nishino Nanase's problem, she said it all out loud.
Nishino Nanase was a little stunned. She raised her head and looked at Erika Ikuta's eyes. She found that the other person's eyes were misty, as if they were covered with an opaque film.
"It's true..." Nishino Nanase tasted it and vaguely understood Ikuta Erika's attitude.
The implication of these words is to let yourself follow your heart and forgive Nishino Kazuki.
"Are Ikuta-chan ready to take the initiative to forgive him?" Nishino Nanase asked directly.
"Of course not!" Erika Ikuta waved her hand, "After all, it was his mistake. How could I ask him to forgive me? It's impossible."
If he comes to me, that's a different matter! Erika Ikuta thought to herself.
"I see."
Nishino Nanase understood Ikuta Erika's attitude and what the other party was thinking.
"What about you, Na-chan? If he comes to you, will you forgive him?" Erika Ikuta suddenly asked.
"..." Nishino Nanase was silent for a moment, and then replied, "I don't know, it may or may not happen."
She said something unclear. In fact, she had almost made up her mind, but she was still afraid to explain it clearly.
"Nana-chan, you are really..." Erika Ikuta looked at her, and he probably knew what she was thinking. At first, she was really firm with Mai Shiraishi, but this was just a process, and she gradually became looser.
Like myself, when we actually meet, the speed of surrender should be about the same as myself.
Nishino Nanase picked up the water glass and took a covert sip.
"I'm a little tired today, so I went back early." Nishino Nanase stood up and said goodbye.
"I've only been sitting there for ten minutes and I haven't arrived yet." Erika Ikuta looked at the time and said, "I haven't told you something yet."
Nishino Nanase looked over curiously: "What's the matter?"
"Sit down first, don't be impatient." Erika Ikuta waved her hand to Nishino Nanase to sit down.
After Nishino Nanase sat down, he waited for Erika Ikuta's words, but the other party did not speak in a hurry and stood up directly.
"Na-chan, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards his bedroom.
Nishino Nanase watched Erika Ikuta enter the bedroom and close the door. She thought the other party was going to bring something out, but unexpectedly saw Erika Ikuta come out, then come to her side and pull her sleeve.
"Come to the bedroom, I have something to show you."
"What?!" Nishino Nanase blurted out.
But Erika Ikuta just looked at her with a smile, mysteriously.
"You'll know when you get here."
"All right."
In this way, Erika Ikuta and Nanase Nishino walked towards the bedroom together.
Many thoughts appeared in Nishino Nanase's mind, popping up one by one like bubbles.
Finally a bold idea came into her mind.
There’s no way Nishino Kazuki is hiding inside, right?!
