It started with being hated by the girl in the band

Nakagawa Nobuyuki waved his hands helplessly.

To be honest, for someone like Nakagawa Shin who doesn't like bitter taste, it doesn't taste as good as real fruit juice.

However, even though the votes were 2 to 2, the curious Yamada Ryo and Kita still poured the opened can of sparkling wine on the table into the paper cup despite Hongxia's objection. After all, the remaining half can was not much.

Since Nakagawa Nobuyuki and Nijigasaka didn't seem too interested, there were only two cups for Kita and Ms. Yamada.

“It feels no different from juice?”

Kita looked at the bubbles jumping in the cup, his little nose moved slightly, he sniffed gently, his face seemed a little aroused.

Indeed, this kind of sparkling wine usually tastes quite pleasant. Compared with ordinary fruit juice, it has a light layer of wine flavor. It smells really good and quite rich.

"cheers."

Miss Yamada didn't say much, but her face was calm. She gently held out her cup and, imitating the way in the ninja movie, clinked glasses with Kita, who had a look of admiration on his face.

I originally thought that if it smelled so good, it would taste good too... But as soon as I took a sip, in addition to the rich aroma of the fruit itself, the inevitably bitter wine exploded on Kita's tongue.

"woo woo woo woo--"

For a moment, little Kita showed a very anxious and pitiful look, and covered his little mouth and made a cute wailing sound. Fortunately, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was prepared, immediately handed over the trash can with a calm face.

Without caring about his image, Kita immediately spat out the bitter sparkling wine in his mouth, and after a while he raised his head with tears in his eyes.

"Oh, it's so bitter! I thought it was like juice!"

Hongxia looked at Kita who was complaining in front of her, and couldn't help feeling a little relieved... Fortunately, she didn't drink it. Judging from Kita's expression, it didn't seem to taste very good.

"I told you it doesn't taste good..."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki shook his head helplessly, took out the toilet paper that Miss Yamada had drawn earlier, and handed it to Kita, who still had crystal liquid hanging from the corner of his mouth.

When I was working part-time, there was a box of this stuff expired in a convenience store. Since it was going to be thrown away anyway, it might as well be kept cheap by our own people. After saying hello to the store manager, Nakagawa Nobuyuki carried a box of this brand of sparkling wine home.

How can a store that lets minors work the night shift be so law-abiding? Letting the clerk Nakagawa Nobuyuki take it away would save the store from going through the process of throwing it away. Anyway, it was only expired for a day or two, so there would be no problem if you drank it.

As a result, as soon as Nakagawa Nobuyuki drank it, he knew why this thing was not sold even after it expired.

It's simple, it doesn't taste good to be honest.

However, adhering to the spirit of not wasting anything, Zhonghe Xin still forced himself to slowly finish the box of sparkling wine. Even the packaging of this stuff was still tied up with other cardboards in the corner of Zhonghe Xin's rental house.

However, what Nakagawa Nobuyuki did not expect was that Kita's reaction was quite big, but why did Miss Yamada on the side seem to have no reaction at all?

Thinking of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki moved his eyes with some confusion.

"...Nakagawa? What are you looking at me for?"

"...Also, there's Hong Xia...several Hong Xias..."

Miss Yamada, with a dazed look in her eyes, squinted as if trying to see the two people clearly, and her body moved up and down like a small boat.

Right after he finished speaking, before the two of them could respond, he suddenly dropped his head, and his forehead hit the counter without any restraint. The sound of "Pong" scared several people present, and it hurt just to hear it.

...Isn't this completely drunk?

Besides, it’s just some sparkling wine. Why do two people in such a small band get drunk after just one sip?

Although Nakagawa Nobuyuki and Hongxia both wanted to complain in their hearts at this moment, they still didn't say anything. Facts have proved that people will really laugh when they are speechless.

"Senior Liang...Is Senior Liang okay?"

Except for Kita, who still had an idol filter and was anxiously calling out to Yamada Ryo, the remaining two just looked at each other silently and shook their heads.

All I can say is that Miss Yamada looks like she can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but unfortunately, she is actually a loser who gets drunk as soon as she touches alcohol. Her only luck is that the alcohol content of the sparkling wine is not high, so she will probably sober up after a while.

All I can say is that everyone's ability to metabolize alcohol is different. Fortunately or unfortunately, in a small band, there are at least two guys who can't drink a drop of alcohol.

……

"... Deng-san, wake up."

"It's time to get off work and go home."

With his sleeves rolled up, Nakagawa Nobuyuki put the broom in his hand aside and gently shook Xiaodeng, who had a peaceful sleeping face and slightly parted pink lips.

I slept so soundly in such a noisy exhibition hall, probably because I was a little tired today.

"Hmm...letter...?"

Takamatsu Deng, who was somewhat drowsy in his sleep, opened his sleepy eyes drowsily and called out softly to Nakagawa Shin in front of him.

Seeing that Xiaodeng had woken up, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who had just finished cleaning the place, didn't say anything polite. He sat down next to Xiaodeng and let out a long sigh of relief.

Not long after Xiaodeng fell asleep, Ms. Yamada woke up as if nothing had happened. She refused to admit the fact that she had a terrible alcohol tolerance and forced everyone in the band to practice in preparation for the Live performance on Friday night.

"Does your foot still hurt?"

After stretching lazily and feeling tired after a day of work, Nakagawa Nobuyuki turned his head and asked softly.

"…It shouldn't hurt anymore."

Maybe because he was just woken up, Xiaodeng now looks like a somewhat silly little penguin.

"Are you sure it doesn't hurt?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki gently took away the wet towel that had returned to normal temperature from Xiaodeng's feet, and took a closer look. The swelling on the white ankle had indeed subsided.

"…It doesn't hurt anymore, but my feet…are so cold."

Xiaodeng nodded slightly, but bit her lip, looking a little uncomfortable.

Chapter 119: A secret kiss to a classmate.

"Cold feet?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki subconsciously looked at Xiaodeng's white and tender toes, which were slightly curled up because of nervousness.

There is nothing we can do about this. After all, the air conditioning in Fanxing is really cool. Plus, wet towels absorb heat themselves, so it is normal for them to feel cool.

But from this point of view, Xiaodeng slept too soundly. The wet towel didn't fall off for such a long time, which is quite amazing.

"Hmm...my feet are cold, so uncomfortable."

Gao Songdeng hesitated with a guilty conscience, and gently placed his cold feet on Nakagawa Nobuyuki's thighs.

Before... when Xin took off his socks, I felt my heart beating faster... I want to experience it again.

Because, I am so happy because I have Xin to rely on...

As Nakagawa Nobuyuki's body temperature seeped out slightly through the fabric, Takamatsu Deng's heartbeat began to jump gently as if in sync with the agreed upon one.

"That's fine too... Wouldn't it be better to find a warm towel?"

"...No, no need, Xin, just use your hands."

Gao Songdeng tried hard to suppress his increasingly rapid breathing, and gently stopped Nakagawa Nobuyuki who wanted to get up to get hot water. He looked at the dazed Nakagawa Nobuyuki with hope in his watery eyes.

Looking at Takamatsu Deng who suddenly seemed very happy in front of him, Nakagawa Nobuyuki was a little puzzled, but since Deng seemed to be in a good mood, he just went along with her.

The next second, two rough but warm hands gently covered Gao Songdeng's icy and somewhat exaggerated ankles.

"Is it okay here?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki raised his eyes and looked at Takamatsu Deng who was hiding his body in a thin air-conditioning blanket with only half of his face showing.

"…Here, here is fine."

Avoiding Nakagawa Nobuyuki's puzzled gaze, Xiaodeng hunched her small shoulders and replied in a stumbling voice.

It's much more embarrassing than I thought.

Especially...especially now that the lights of the stars are all on...Xin-san's eyes are so beautiful.

My palms...are also so comfortable and warm.

The sound of thump, thump, thump is so intense...

My heart can’t stop beating, so fast…

I really like this feeling.

How could Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who didn't have the ability to read minds, know what Xiaodeng, who was lowering her head, was thinking?

And because both of his hands were occupied, Nakagawa Nobuyuki couldn't play with his phone to pass the time.

With one yawn after another, slowly, in the somewhat quiet environment, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was already a little tired, became a little distracted. His eyes kept staring straight ahead and his eyelids began to twitch.

After a while, when he heard the sound of even breathing, Gao Songdeng dared to gently raise his eyes, like a little animal leaving its nest, and secretly peeked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was already asleep.

Looking at the defenseless profile of Nakagawa Nobuyuki, Xiaodeng, whose mind gradually became confused and muddled, swallowed subconsciously.

"…Nobu-san?"

He softly called out to Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of him, and after confirming that Nakagawa Nobuyuki seemed to be soundly asleep, Gao Songdeng's eyes were tinged with a slight trance.

...Ryoushin-san, you’re so close.

I gently brushed the hair that fell beside my ears, although I didn't quite understand what I wanted to do...

However, my body subconsciously moved slowly towards the fresh face of Xin, who had his eyes slightly closed.

... Nobuyuki, you kissed me on the train, right? I should be fine now, right?

Takamatsu Deng was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe. His mind was a little confused. He gently opened his pink thin lips and allowed himself to move closer to Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of him.

Getting closer...

At the moment before the contact, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was half asleep and half awake, suddenly felt a slight itchy sensation on one side of his face.

Slightly awakened by the feeling, the sleepy Nakagawa Nobuyuki opened his eyes with some difficulty.

"… Nobu, Nobu-san, are you awake?"

Takamatsu Deng was startled by the awakening of Nakagawa Nobuyuki. He woke up instantly and immediately distanced himself in panic and sat back in his previous position.

Perhaps because she was at a loss, she could only subconsciously curl up the ends of her short hair.

Seeing that Nakagawa Nobuyuki was looking at him with a sleepy gaze, Xiaodeng felt even more guilty and could only turn away his nervous gaze as if he was escaping.

Although...I was almost discovered by classmate Xin.

But this feeling of my heart beating faster... I really like it...

Xiaodeng shrank his shoulders in confusion, silently feeling his heart pounding because of the rapidly shortened distance.

"What time is it now...?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki narrowed his eyes and subconsciously reached for the cell phone in his pocket.

If you sleep too long, it will be troublesome.

...Fortunately, it seems that I only slept for a dozen minutes, so it’s not a big deal.

However, now that the floor has been cleaned, we can actually go home from get off work today.

"Teng, are you feeling better now?"

Thinking of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to take the train home after collecting his salary... As for Xiaodeng...

Nakagawa Nobuyuki shifted his gaze slightly and looked at Takamatsu Deng who had a timid look on his face.

"Ah... yes... OK, much better."

Takamatsu Deng was startled when he was suddenly mentioned, and answered loudly subconsciously.

To be honest, it was the first time that Nakagawa Nobuyuki heard Takamatsu Deng speak so loudly and boldly, as he usually spoke in a soft voice.

"Now that you're feeling much better, are you ready to go?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki smiled lightly and looked at Takamatsu Deng in front of him, whose reaction was very similar to that of the frightened Ichiri, and he wanted to touch his hair out of habit.

Fortunately, Nakagawa Nobuyuki remembered in time that he had just used his hands to warm Xiaodeng's feet. Facing Xiaodeng's expectant gaze, he withdrew his hands awkwardly.

A little bit of knowledge: when setting up camp, many polar expedition teams will tuck their cold feet into their teammates' armpits to ensure they are warm.

"Ahem, anyway, I'm going to go look for Miss Xingge first. Can you put on your shoes first, Deng?"

After clearing his throat, Zhonghe stood up with a somewhat unnatural expression, walked to the bathroom, and prepared to wash his hands first.

Xiaodeng now didn't know how to face Nakagawa Nobuyuki and could only respond hesitantly.

It was not until Nakagawa Nobuyuki's back disappeared around the corner that Xiaodeng gently used the air-conditioning blanket to hide her somewhat happy smile.
