Social phobia and lonely rock

"This was arranged by Hayabusa-kun, right?"

She smiled as if she had seen through it.

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled and did not respond to her words, but changed the subject.

"Let's go up and walk around the mountain for a while, then take the last cable car down the mountain. You can see the scenery of Beppu changing from day to night on the cable car."

"Let's go." Hong Xia smiled expectantly.

After buying a round-trip ticket, we got into the cable car and leaned against each other to watch the beautiful scenery changing as the cable car gradually climbed upwards.

At the beginning, the cable car was not very high, but in just a dozen seconds, it suddenly climbed up diagonally.

A more detailed view than the distant view, and a wider view than the mountains came into view.

Ishikawa Hayabusa came at a very lucky time. It snowed heavily before he came, and it has been sunny these days.

In good weather, they can clearly see the white snow covering the mountains, trees and branches.

When you look at it from the foot of the mountain, the whole mountain seems to be all white, but when you get closer you can see dark green evergreen trees hiding under the snow, as well as deciduous trees that have dropped their leaves, presenting a beautiful rime-like appearance.

The two types of trees are arranged in a disorderly manner among the mountains, stretching out to create a more colorful scenery.

As the cable car continues to climb, the view becomes wider.

The snow-covered mountains are illuminated by the sun and appear orange, while some of them are hidden in the shadows, showing the complementary color of orange, light blue.

The corresponding colors make the contrast between the undulating mountains more intense, and the interweaving of light and shadows of high and low levels more shocking.

Hongxia looked at it for a while and felt like she was melting into the mountains. She couldn't help but hug Ishikawa Hayabusa's hand.

Ishikawa Hayabusa came to his senses and looked at her, and Hongxia also looked at him while hugging his arm.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"It's nice to have a day like this once in a while."

Ishikawa Hayabusa knew that Hongxia was not a particularly playful person, so he used the word "occasionally".

Hongxia smiled and clenched her fists.

"Yeah, I feel full of energy all of a sudden."

However, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will gradually become ordinary after watching it for more than ten minutes. Hong Xia's heart gradually calmed down as she looked at the beautiful scenery. She calmly reviewed every thought from this morning to when she just got off the bus.

As she was thinking about it, she suddenly caught the thought that she had missed when she got off the bus.

Arrangements, plans, and a date all to herself today...

After a while, Hongxia leaned softly on Ishikawa Hayabusa's arm and asked softly.

"Hayabusa-kun, do you have any plans for going down the mountain later?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I just thought... I'm already satisfied today, so there's no need for Hayabusa to put in any more effort, you can just go and... hug me."

Hong Xia's voice was soft and tender, as if he could do whatever he wanted.

And the hug at the end was obviously not a hug in the ordinary sense.

Even though he had already hugged three girls, when he heard Hongxia invite him to hug her, Ishikawa Hayabusa still felt his mouth dry and his blood boiling.

Especially Hong Xia, who was caressing his hand and pressing her mature yet petite body tightly against his.

But Ishikawa Hayabusa temporarily suppressed his emotions and shook his head.

"Hongxia still misunderstood."

"Ok?"

Hongxia looked up at him in surprise.

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at her with some embarrassment in his smile.

"I'm spending time with Hongxia today because I've never dated her before, not because I brought her here with the intention of tricking her into doing that kind of thing with me."

He didn't want Hongxia to think that he was playing with her today just for her body.

"what."

Hongxia reacted and realized her own stupidity. She sighed and laughed, and continued to let her eyes wander aimlessly among the mountains.

But my thoughts gradually faded away.

As expected, Hayabusa had a lot on his mind, right or wrong, and she felt she couldn't judge Hayabusa's behavior.

After a while, Hongxia looked at the platform on the mountain getting closer and asked again.

"Hayabusa-kun just said 'or' and I misunderstood, didn't I?"

"Eh..." Ishikawa Hayabusa showed an embarrassed expression as if he was exposed.

His reaction made Hongxia feel more certain. Although the reaction was a little artificial, she still asked seriously.

"They did that to me last night, weren't they doing it on purpose to make me angry? And they were lying next to me to scare me in the morning to make me not realize it, right?"

"...The first part is improvisation, and the second part is arrangement."

Ishikawa Hayabusa answered weakly.

After getting the answer, Hongxia was not angry, but smiled with relief.

"Hayabusa-kun is really... your methods are too powerful. I feel like if you continue like this, we might be tricked into agreeing to have a few more girlfriends."

Ishikawa Hayabusa's face suddenly became serious, and he raised his hands and said.

"No, absolutely not."

His reaction made Hong Xia chuckle.

"I'm not testing you."

"But I'm serious."

Ishikawa Hayabusa had a serious expression.

As the two talked, the cable car gradually slowed down and arrived at the station, leaving the two people in the snow and ice.

239. Kiss Me

Coming out of the cable car station, the two of them felt firsthand how heavy the snow had been in the previous two days and how cold it was in the mountains.

Even though the sun was still setting, the snow here showed no sign of melting and was piling up outside the bluestone road.

Even on the bluestone road, there was still a lot of white snow falling in the cracks and around the stones.

After taking only two steps, Ishikawa Hayabusa suddenly stretched out his hand and said to Hongxia.

"It's so cold, Hongxia, give me a hug."

Hongxia rolled her eyes at him, then subconsciously looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she walked silently into Ishikawa Hayabusa's arms.

She didn't know how Ishikawa Hayabusa wanted to hug her, but she decided to let him do as he pleased.

However, Ishikawa Hayabusa just leaned behind her and covered her ears that were not wearing thermal earmuffs.

Hongxia was stunned for a moment, then reacted after looking at the snow scene on the mountains. She didn't care about the embarrassment of imitating his actions, so she raised her hands, stood up and covered Ishikawa Hayabusa's ears.

Looking down at Hongxia leaning back, Ishikawa Hayabusa asked.

"Isn't Hongxia uncomfortable?"

"So what should Hayabusa-kun do?"

Hongxia asked back, she knew that if this person asked, there would definitely be a way.

Ishikawa Hayabusa stepped back and walked to her side, pointed at her hat, and then pointed at his own back.

Hong Xia looked in the direction he pointed and tilted her head in confusion.

Ishikawa Hayabusa reached out and put on the hood of her down jacket, then walked in front of her and squatted.

Hongxia finally reacted and patted him on the back.

The slightly thick winter weather made a dull sound when patted.

"I don't want to carry it."

Ishikawa Hayabusa turned to look at her and asked, "How about a princess hug?"

Hong Xia whispered, "We are outside!"

Ishikawa Hayabusa said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Hasn't everyone ridden on your shoulders before?"

Hongxia couldn't help but recall how she was tricked by Ishikawa Hayabusa into riding on his shoulders.

But Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at her silent and thoughtful expression, clenched one hand into a fist and hammered the palm of the other hand, with an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Hong Xia came to her senses when she heard the voice. She was startled when she saw his appearance. She quickly clamped her legs together and looked around.

"Hayabusa...Hayabusa-kun, I'm still wearing a skirt."

Seeing that she was serious, Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled and waved his hand.

"I'm just kidding, just hold hands."

Hongxia looked at his ears and couldn't tell whether they were frozen or not. She wanted to say something but then she heard him speak again.

"And there's something special about strolling in the snow holding hands with Hong Xia like this."

Hongxia was startled and her face suddenly turned red. She felt that the hat had become much hotter.

But she held Ishikawa Hayabusa's hand, looked at the snow scene with her watery red eyes, and spoke softly and timidly.

"Hayabusa-kun always teases me and then 'bullies' me."

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled immediately.

"Nice technique, huh?"

Hongxia couldn't help but angrily bumped into him with her body, but her arm was also pinched.

However, she was still quite concerned about Ishikawa Hayabusa's ears that were blown by the cold wind, and she was thinking that it would have been a good idea if she had just agreed to let him carry her on his back.

She looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa's hand and suddenly had an idea.

Letting go of Ishikawa Hayabusa's hand, she began to take off her gloves. She took off the gloves on both hands and then put them on Ishikawa Hayabusa's ears.

Ishikawa Hayabusa shook his head slightly out of curiosity and found that it did not fall.

"It's quite sturdy, but Hongxia, what about your hands?"

Hongxia put one hand in her pocket, held Ishikawa Hayabusa's hand with the other, and looked at him with a smile.

"Isn't this enough?"

However, when she looked at him, she took a close look at Ishikawa Hayabusa's appearance. This handsome boy had small and long gloves on his ears, and because of his good looks, he looked quite cute and funny.

"puff."

She couldn't help laughing. She took her hand out of her pocket and covered her mouth with it, suppressing her laughter.

"Falcon, you look like this..."

After taking a selfie with his mobile phone, Ishikawa Hayabusa walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder.

Hongxia held back her laughter and raised her head, only to see Ishikawa Hayabusa holding his scissor hands against his face, smiling cutely and saying "Yeah~!"

"Pfft hahaha."

Hong Xia avoided him and laughed out loud, she was bent over, and her laughter could be heard far away on the top of the mountain.

He even laughed so hard that he squatted on the ground.

"No more, hahahaha, no more."

However, Ishikawa Hayabusa also found her laughing very interesting and had no intention of letting her go.

He squatted down, and in front of Hong Xia, he made a lotus shape with one hand in a funny way, squinted one eye, stuck out his tongue cutely, and especially shook his head, with his two gloves waving on both sides of his head.

"Hold it~"

Hongxia knew she shouldn't look at it, but she couldn't help but look at it. She immediately lowered her head, covered her stomach, and laughed.

“Hahahaha~ No no no no, don’t make me laugh, Hayabusa-kun, stop making me laugh, hahahaha.”
