It was practically dancing on his XP.
"Hehe, is Sister Cai going on a date with Xia today?" Shana asked, sitting down with a fried egg in her hand.
“This…” Hashimoto Arina glanced at Shirakawa Natsu out of the corner of her eye. Of course, she wanted to go on a date with Shirakawa Natsu alone, but that would leave Shana behind.
"It's okay, I've already arranged my schedule, so don't worry about me." Shana patted her chest with a smile, appearing understanding.
Chapter 256 The oriole is behind
A hesitation flashed in Hashimoto Arina's eyes as she looked at Shirakawa Natsu. Of course, she wanted to have an intimate date with her boyfriend, but it would be too heartless to abandon her friend on the first day. In the end, gentleness prevailed: "It's okay. It'll be more fun when there are more people."
"Relax, I grew up in Tokyo, it feels like home." Shana smiled brightly, resting her chin on her hand. "Besides, I already have plans for today~ Pretty girls are very popular."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Shirakawa Natsumi, her small feet in stockings swinging back and forth under the table: "Sister Yui has met a boy she likes, so I have to work harder too."
"Have you made plans yet?" Hashimoto Arina put down her cooking utensils and said worriedly, "Be careful not to get tricked by a boy."
Shirakawa Natsu's expression was strange. Last night, he overheard Shana and the fox's conversation; their target should have been him.
What's going on here now?
"Don't worry, he's a very reliable person." Shana smiled as she quickly finished the bread on the table, then picked up her milk and drank it all in one gulp. She stood up and said, "I'm going now~ hehe."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Hashimoto Arina's reply, she put her hands behind her back, and like a nimble rabbit, she dashed to the entrance, changed her shoes, opened the door, and ran out. Finally, she turned around and made a face at the two of them.
Only Hashimoto Arina and Shirakawa Natsu remained in the room.
Hashimoto Arina looked a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, that's just how she is, she's easily startled. Don't let her girlish appearance fool you, she's actually very sensible."
"Hmph, it's like Sister Cai is taking care of her daughter." Shirakawa Natsumi chuckled, glancing at the door with her eyes, wondering who she really was.
Why did she approach Hashimoto Arina? She seems to be quite familiar with foxes. Could she also be a member of the yokai?
He tried to find a chance to visit the fox last night, but the fox seemed unfamiliar with him, and he didn't have a good solution.
"If Sister Cai is worried, she can follow him and see what kind of boy he is before we go on a date."
A flicker of curiosity crossed Hashimoto Arina's eyes, but she quickly shook her head and looked at Shirakawa Natsu with a hint of shyness on her face: "It's okay, she's not a child. Besides, I'd rather go on a date with my boyfriend. And there's a place I've always wanted to go."
Her gaze came straight at me, her eyes full of affection, with no intention of hiding it.
Unlike her usual reserved nature, this period of time has made her increasingly determined about this relationship.
"Hmm~" Shirakawa Natsu's eyes lit up. That shy little expression, the whip, the candle, and the strange props had already appeared in his mind.
Under that undisguised gaze of love, he succumbed, deciding to hold on tight to the person in front of him and not be distracted.
The September sun felt warm and cozy, and the air was filled with the joyful laughter of children.
Surrounded by crowds on both sides, a procession of people dressed as guards, princesses, and various cartoon characters paraded through the middle of the road.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Hashimoto Arina, abandoning her usual big sister image, stared at the carriage in the middle of the procession with shining eyes, making big movements and her chest swaying incessantly: "It's so beautiful, isn't it, isn't it?"
Her eyes were fixed on the parade, while her other hand tugged at Shirakawa Natsu's arm and shook it repeatedly.
Shirakawa Natsumi's lips twitched as she looked around; all she saw were parents with their children.
After all, young men and women who come to amusement parks for dates usually stay on Ferris wheels or in haunted houses, but this time they can do something naughty.
"Is this the place that Sister Ayane wanted to come to?" Shirakawa Natsu asked curiously.
“Yes.” Hashimoto Arina nodded excitedly: “I came here with my family when I was little. I said I wanted to be the princess in the party when I grew up, and everyone laughed at me.”
"Is that the one you're talking about?" Shirakawa Natsu pointed to the princess dressed in gorgeous clothes and surrounded by a group of people dressed as dwarves: "This one is obviously fake. How could Snow White be so white? She should be black."
"That's enough!" Hashimoto Arina's expression changed instantly. She stomped on his shoe and kicked it hard a few times.
This caused Shirakawa Natsu to cry out in pain repeatedly.
"Ah, look at that." Hashimoto Arina had just finished stepping on it, then grabbed his hand again, her eyes shining as she looked to the other side: "That's the Rabbit Prince, isn't he handsome? When the princess is captured by the dragon, he'll stand up for her, and..."
She patiently explained each character to Shirakawa Natsu, her eyes shining.
Shirakawa Natsu stood quietly to the side, listening to her happy explanation.
He remembered that when Hashimoto Arina was a child, her father was busy at the hospital, and these fairy tales probably accompanied her throughout her childhood.
Even the mature Arina Hashimoto has this side to her.
At this moment, they were 100 meters behind each other.
"Hehe, don't you think they look good together?" Shana gazed at the two of them, framing them with two fingers: "They're a handsome man and a beautiful woman, both ordinary people. They'll fall in love, get married, raise children, and grow old together. Their children will be the only trace of their existence until no one remembers them anymore. That's what human love is all about. It's all meaningless. Don't you think that's scary?"
The fox, dressed in a white suit, wore a faint smile, attracting occasional glances from those around him.
"So you're still clinging to illusions?" Shana turned around, her hands behind her back. "Hoping that heartbreaker will abandon the woman standing next to him and come back to you?"
The fox remained silent for a long while before asking, "What do you like about him?"
"Huh? You like it!" Shana said as if she had heard a joke. "I can't control you if you like rummaging through the trash cans, but don't think of me as the same way. You know, stupidity is contagious."
"..." The fox glanced at her: "You didn't say that yesterday."
"I told you that maybe one morning I'll wake up and I won't like him anymore." Shana pouted, staring at Shirakawa Natsu, who was hugging Ayana. "Today, I just want all the women around him to see his true colors and then dump him."
The fox looked at her and said calmly, "Is this what humans call a girl's heart?"
"No, I'm very serious." Shana squinted: "This incompetent earthworm has to know that he's dating other women even though he already has a cute girl like me."
"He doesn't know you are Jingu Nao," the fox said calmly. "Do you think an ordinary human could see through your disguise?"
"Shouldn't you recognize something like this at first glance?!" Shana said angrily. "Two people who are in sync should remember each other even if they have forgotten each other's names and memories, as long as they see each other on the street."
"So this is what you call a girl's heart." The fox tilted its head.
"I already said no!"
"Hello, you two over there, come a little closer." The staff member with the camera said to Shirakawa Natsumi and Arina, "This is a free commemorative photo service. You can't squeeze into the frame like this, don't be shy."
Shirakawa Natsu glanced at the vegetables beside her. When they were in public, she still instinctively concealed her feelings for the two of them.
The age difference between the two, as well as their past doctor-patient relationship, always made her feel guilty.
“Sister Yu-Cai, come here.” Shirakawa Natsu smiled and reached out to hug her. “Tell everyone we meet that we’re a couple.”
"Click!" After two shutter sounds, the staff member handed over the photos with a smile: "Here are your photos. Now, please continue having fun."
"I think I closed my eyes." Shirakawa Natsumi pouted.
"Hehe, we both look terrible," Hashimoto Arina said, looking at the photo. "Seeing your expression makes me happy~"
"I'll take another picture for you." Shirakawa Natsu took out his phone. With Huang Mao's photography skills, he could take a lot of suggestive photos.
"Give me the photo." Hashimoto Arina snatched the photo and carefully put it into her bag: "This is a nice souvenir."
After she finished speaking, she leaned on Shirakawa Natsu’s shoulder and took his arm: “We will have many more firsts, and then grow old together. Life is short, and being with the person you love makes you feel like there is nothing to be afraid of.”
Chapter 257 The Maid
“Sister Youcai.” Shirakawa Natsu wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and the two looked into each other’s eyes.
"It feels like it's not real." Hashimoto Arina leaned against him on the roadside, saying, "It's so nice to be this close to you."
After she put on high heels, she was about the same height as Shirakawa Natsu. When they talked, their faces were only one centimeter apart, and they could feel each other's breath.
Passersby cast envious glances at the scene; the handsome man and beautiful woman always evoked a sense of beauty.
"Mmm." Shirakawa Natsumi was an experienced driver, so of course he wasn't coy and hugged her tighter. "A lot has happened before we came together."
Hashimoto Arina did not hide; the affection in her eyes could melt anyone's heart, and she finally emerged from the sense of immorality she had always felt.
“When I’m alone, I often feel uneasy.” Hashimoto Arina leaned against him: “I worry that Natsu might meet a more suitable girl, and then I have no right to ask anything of you.”
Shirakawa Natsu sensed her unease. The difference in their ages and social status made Yuzuri still very concerned.
He tightened his grip: "Don't worry, nothing like that will happen."
"Hmm." Hashimoto Arina smiled, looking at his face without looking away.
"The parade is about to leave," Shirakawa Natsu pointed to the side.
"It's okay, let me take a good look at your face." Hashimoto Arina's cheeks flushed.
“Yes.” Shirakawa Natsu nodded. “Me too.”
"Count me in~" came the voice from the right.
"Huh?!" Hashimoto Arina jumped out of Shirakawa Natsu's arms like a little animal whose tail had been stepped on, and looked in the direction of the sound.
Shana put her hands behind her back and looked over with a grin: "Don't worry about me, you guys carry on, I was just passing by."
"When...when did you appear?!" Hashimoto Arina asked in a panic.
"Huh?" Shana put a hand to her lips and tilted her head as if thinking: "It was around the time when Sister Youcai was in heat."
"I didn't!" Hashimoto Arina denied, but then looked behind her, her gaze sharpening, and said, "Kimura?"
Shiono Kimura, dressed in a white casual suit, stood quietly behind Shana, her smile gentle: "We meet again."
Shirakawa Natsu stood to the side, her face darkening. She had expected this situation, but not so fast.
"Wait a minute." Hashimoto Arina rubbed her temples, looking at the two of them in disbelief: "Sana, the date you mentioned this morning, is it him?"
"Yes~" Shana readily admitted, reaching out to link arms with the fox. "In terms of looks, he's no less handsome than Sister Youcai's boyfriend, right? I saw Sister Youcai over there, and sure enough, it was her when I walked in. What a coincidence, hehe~"
As she spoke, she walked over to Shirakawa Natsumi and gently patted his arm: "I saw it just now, it was so romantic."
Hashimoto Arina's expression was complicated. Her gaze swept over the two of them, and she hesitated to speak.
Shirakawa Natsu walked up, took Hashimoto Arina's arm, and said with a smile, "It's quite a coincidence. I hope you two had a good time."
Hashimoto Arina opened her mouth, gave an awkward smile, and followed Shirakawa Natsu away.
Wait until the two of them walk away.
"Oh dear~" Shana placed her hand on her forehead, gazing into the distance: "It seems Mr. Xia has chosen Miss Yu Cai and abandoned you. Do you have anything to say about that?"
"Did you come all this way just to say this?" Kimura Momo's expression remained unchanged, seemingly unconcerned: "If it's only this much, it's not worth observing."
"Don't rush, this is just the beginning," Shana said with a smile.
Shirakawa Natsumi pulled Hashimoto Arina along a street: "What's wrong? You look like you have something on your mind."
"No." Hashimoto Arina shook her head quickly.
“Sister Yu-Cai, you really can’t keep secrets.” Shirakawa Natsumi smiled: “Don’t worry, Shana is an adult now. It’s her freedom to be close to whomever she wants. Besides, Kimura Momo isn’t a bad person.”
After he finished speaking, he gripped Hashimoto Arina's hand tightly: "Today, all we need to do is have each other in our eyes."
Hashimoto Arina paused for a moment, then nodded quickly, regaining her composure: "Let's go see a play next."
"Okay." Shirakawa Natsu smiled, glancing at his waist out of the corner of his eye, just a moment ago when Shana patted him.
A tiny black particle was stuck to the back of his belt.
Huang Mao's intermediate-level photography skills gave him a thorough understanding of various equipment, and coupled with his prior precautions against Shana, he noticed this small action.
This alone made him tremble with fear; just who was this Shana?
What is his purpose?
His only advantage now is that she doesn't know he already knows, so he has to wait and see.
"This way." Hashimoto Arina pulled his arm and led him to the right.
“Okay.” Shirakawa Natsu smiled nonchalantly and followed behind her.
The stage play performance was just various cartoon characters doing simple interactions on stage, and Hashimoto Arina's eyes lit up.
"Look, it's the Little Mermaid! She's so beautiful."
After she finished speaking, she didn't hear Shirakawa Natsu's voice, so she turned her head in confusion and saw him sitting next to her looking at his phone.
Her lips immediately pouted: "Xia doesn't like it?"
"No." Shirakawa Natsu looked up and showed her phone screen to Yuina: "I'm looking at where to go next. It seems like there are two roads here, and they don't seem to be connected."
"Because the right side is more for adults," Hashimoto Arina explained with a smile, "that way the facilities will be more targeted."
"An adult?" Shirakawa Natsumi perked up at this question.
"What are you thinking about!" Hashimoto Arina raised her hand and tapped his forehead: "Many amusement park rides have age restrictions, such as roller coasters."
"I see." Shirakawa Natsu squinted, looking at the map on her phone screen.
