He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

"kindness?"

After more than ten seconds passed, looking at the still closed door in front of him, Kento Watanabe first showed a confused expression, and then knocked harder a few times——

Boom boom boom!

This time, Kento Watanabe's knock on the door was even loud enough to echo throughout the corridor... But even so, Enka Higuchi still didn't respond.

"...Did you go out?"

But he had clearly told the other party in advance that if he planned to go out, he must contact him in advance...

That means falling asleep?It's impossible... Enxiang is not the kind of child who goes to bed early and gets up early, not to mention that he had said in advance that he would come to her room tonight.

After arranging all possible scenarios one by one and eliminating all wrong options, Kento Watanabe suddenly opened his eyes with a look of "horror" and realized the remaining most likely scenario.

Thinking of this, he quickly turned around and prepared to return to his room.

However, just as he took steps forward, footsteps sounded from the other side of Higuchi Enka's door——

"...I was just taking a shower, so I couldn't open the door right away."

Higuchi Enka, who was wearing a bathrobe, slightly poked her head toward the door and said:

"Okay, come in quickly."

"Uh…………"

Although she had indeed put on her bathrobe properly, because she had just come out of the bathroom, Higuchi Enka's cheeks were still a little flushed, and on her snow-white and smooth neck, there seemed to be a faint trace of water that had not yet been wiped off. The traces, coupled with the few strands of hair sticking to the forehead and cheeks, immediately made Higuchi Yuka's already alluring beauty become a bit more "dangerous".

After realizing that he had seen something quite extraordinary, Kento Watanabe hurriedly danced and expressed:

"Ahem...yes, otherwise, I'll come to you after you finish washing——"

"In that case, it would be too troublesome to open the door a second time."

Higuchi Enka stared at Kento Watanabe closely, and said in an extremely calm and indifferent tone:

"And...you are just here to talk about business anyway, right?"

"That said, but..."

"Then hurry up, it's cold when you open the door."

"Ok."

After realizing the temperature in Sapporo and Higuchi Enka's current state, Watanabe Kento, who originally wanted to say something else, immediately walked into Higuchi Enka's room without hesitation.

Rather than feeling uneasy for a while, he was indeed more worried that Higuchi Enka would catch a cold.

Fortunately, after he entered the room, Higuchi Enka did not stop at the door, but went directly back to the bathroom. Therefore, except for the back of Higuchi Enka in a bathrobe, Watanabe Kenji did not see anyone else. See anything superfluous…

"Wait a moment, I'll finish washing it right away."

"Don't be in a hurry...just take your time."

Kento Watanabe sat down with a wry smile.

chair and set up his laptop.

"I've already come in anyway, so it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer."

"Actually, I was almost finished washing. You just happened to come over at this time."

Although she was seen wearing a bathrobe, Higuchi Enka's tone was very calm.

"Help me dry my hair later."

"………………kindness."

Seeing that Higuchi Enka's reaction was so calm, Watanabe Kento breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down the restlessness and shyness that surged in his heart.

"Remember to dry yourself well...I'll turn the air conditioning temperature up a little for you."

After saying that, Kento Watanabe picked up the air conditioner remote control and raised the temperature to 26°.

"It would be great if I could also adjust the 'temperature' with this remote control."

Looking at the air conditioner that could change the reading with the press of a button, Kento Watanabe couldn't help but feel a rather absurd feeling of envy in his heart.

........................

"Huh...it seems to be working well."

In the bathroom, Higuchi Enka murmured softly while tying the belt of her bathrobe:

"It's not in vain that I waited for you in the bathroom for half an hour."

Just recalling the embarrassed look on Kento Watanabe's face just now, Enka Higuchi couldn't help but smile like a winner.

That's right, in fact, Higuchi Enka didn't open the door for Kento Watanabe at the time "just about to finish washing", but stayed in the bathroom after finishing washing, and waited until Kento Watanabe came to knock on the door. He put on his bathrobe and went to greet the other party in this manner.

As for the reason why she did this, she naturally wanted this guy who was all about work to pay some attention to things other than work...

Even if he can't do anything, it's good to make him aware of himself a little bit.

"Huh... that's enough. Just calm down and work hard next."

Although she acted very calm and satisfied at this time, in fact, before deciding on the "bathrobe tactic", she had fought with her own shame for a full hour, and finally made up her mind.

For her, this tactic was one of the most audacious things she could do.

"...If it was Asakura, it might not be a bathrobe, but a bath towel and just go up..."

Compared with her, my own methods are still a bit unsatisfactory.

However... instead of letting him face the impact from Asakura, it is better to give him a little vaccination in this way now. In this way, if Asakura really takes a more drastic action, he will be overtaken by it. Bian Xianren will also be able to be a little mentally prepared.

That's right.

Everything she did... was for the good of Kento Watanabe.

Even if there is a little bit of selfish desire mixed in... it should be harmless, right?

perhaps.

Chapter 13: The preference of innocent people

After receiving the hair dryer handed over by Higuchi Enka, Watanabe Kento first tested the temperature of the hotel hair dryer with his own hands, and then motioned Higuchi Enka to sit in front of him, and blew her hair with ease.

Regarding Kento Watanabe's skillful operation, Enka Higuchi couldn't help but complain:

"Honestly...some of your behaviors don't look like a virgin who has never been in love."

"...Are you praising me or hurting me?"

"Of course I'm praising you."

Higuchi Enka squinted her eyes and said in a tone that could not tell the joy or sorrow:

"After all, this kind of gentle and thoughtful consideration is the most deadly 'poison' for girls."

"Even if you say so... being considerate in itself is not a wrong thing."

Kento Watanabe said while blowing Higuchi Enka's hair carefully:

"And basically the only girls I can get along with for a long time are my idols, so it's not a big problem."

"It would be better to say that this is the big problem."

Regarding Kento Watanabe's unreasonable calmness, Higuchi Enka couldn't help but said with some humor:

"What if your idols are all spoiled by you to the point where they can no longer tolerate other men?"

"It's not that exaggerated."

Regarding Higuchi Enka's statement, Watanabe Kento did not take it seriously at all:

"You are still young and have not come into contact with too few people. As you continue to grow, you will come into contact with more and more outstanding people. When the time comes, there will naturally be men better than me. Show up, and—"

"…………"

"Uh... don't look at me like that..."

Looking at the girl in front of him who suddenly turned around and stared at him coldly, Kento Watanabe quickly stopped the hair dryer in his hand and what he had just finished saying:

"Of course I don't think you will... change your heart. I just want to say that maybe you and Tohru do like me because of many reasons including childhood, but other children are probably just because they are not deeply involved in the world. Impulsive, when they become more mature, maybe they will recognize their own feelings again.

love and make other choices. "

"…………"

After Higuchi Enka stared at Kento Watanabe's panicked expression for a while, he turned back and spoke again:

"Not very experienced in the world...are you talking about Du Ye?"

"…………………………………………I’m so lucky you can hear it."

"Well... let's not talk about the various performances before that. In fact, it is easy to guess it just after watching Du Ye's Live."

"……that's true."

Talking about Duye Rinse, Watanabe Kento's expression suddenly became slightly complicated.

"Originally, I thought her feelings for me were just respect... But the expression she looked at me that day was so similar to Asakura. Combined with the words she said to me on weekdays... even if she was slow Like me, I can still feel it.”

"...That's it."

Since Toru Asakura's confession, Kento Watanabe has really made very obvious progress in his awareness of the opposite sex.

Originally, Enka Higuchi thought that Kento Watanabe would not be able to detect the other person's feelings until Rinse Morino officially confessed.Unexpectedly, after just one live session, Kento Watanabe had already noticed the truth.

"But... no matter how sincere her intention is, you will never agree to it until our idol graduates, right?"

"kindness."

Kento Watanabe nodded without hesitation.

"I will never accept your confession before your idol graduates...Similarly, I will never fall in love with anyone."

"Hey? Even if an adult woman who understands your hobbies and work very well and is similar in age pursues you——"

"I won't accept it either... Right now I just want to focus on cultivating you and don't want to be distracted from doing other things."

"That's it."

After hearing this answer, Higuchi Enka felt relieved for a while.

After all, a large part of the reason why Watanabe Kento rejected them was because of the so-called "age" and "experience". If there was a woman who was very close to his age and who met Watanabe Kento's preferences in all aspects, she would be really worried. Will Kento Watanabe be snatched away by the other party?

"And, and..."

While Higuchi Enka was still feeling happy for Kento Watanabe's answer, the slightly lowered voice of Kento Watanabe behind her instantly cheered her up again——

"The first person to kiss me was Enxiang...even if you have to consider...me, I will definitely consider you first..."

"…………"

Hearing the gradually decreasing muttering behind him, Higuchi Yuka's consciousness almost flew away from his brain.

Well...how should I say this...?

Although she reflected on it for a long time after that, looking back...she was indeed very glad that she had acted decisively against him at that time!

Because she is the first person to kiss, so she has to be given priority...

It’s really too conservative!too serious!So innocent!

(But I like it.)

"...Okay, my hair has been dried."

Kento Watanabe turned off the hair dryer and took a long breath.

"That's enough talk about 'Kento Watanabe'... Let's talk about work next, Enka."

"……I see."
