"Gurgle?" The action of swallowing saliva made Ninomiya Chizuru stunned.
She found that Kurosawa Hikaru was looking at her, as if he was attracted by something.
Noticing this, she looked down and saw her knee-length dress falling naturally.
"You didn't show any exposure?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was a little confused and couldn't figure out what attracted him.
His eyes were looking downwards, and the only things in front of him were her legs and feet, but was that attractive
Logically speaking, shouldn't her legs have looked better when she was wearing stockings just now
Because stockings can make the legs look smoother and more beautiful... and she knows that men like black stockings.
"I'm a little thirsty."
At the same time, Kurosawa Hikaru reacted, noticed her confusion, and said the same thing.
After saying that, he took action and walked towards the big rock where many things were placed. He took out a bottle of water from his bag and gulped down a few gulps.
To be honest, he did feel a little dry in the mouth.
"Would you like some water?"
After Kurosawa Hikaru finished drinking, he took out an unopened bottle of mineral water.
"Yes, be careful after you take off your shoes. The stones here are a bit slippery."
Ninomiya Chizuru was indeed a little thirsty, so she nodded, then bent down, picked up her high heels, and walked over carefully.
She grew up in Tokyo and had never been to such undeveloped deep mountains and forests before.
After taking the water, she put the crumpled stockings and shoes on the stone, and then drank two sips of water to moisten her throat.
Seeing her drinking water, Kurosawa Mitsuru sat down on the stone and quickly took off his shoes and socks.
"Let's go and play for a while."
Rolling up his trouser legs, he took the lead and walked towards the stream.
"good."
Ninomiya Chizuru nodded, put the bottle cap back on, put the things away, and followed.
"Please sit here."
When he arrived at the stream, Kurosawa Mitsuru sat down on the edge of a protruding rock and then spread a few sheets of paper next to it.
Sitting directly on a stone wet by water splashes, it would be easy for his clothes to get torn, but he didn't care. He would just pat his butt later. Even if he couldn't pat it clean, it wouldn't be a big problem.
But Miss Ninomiya is wearing a skirt after all, and she is a girl. If her clothes get dirty, it would not be very decent.
"Thanks."
Seeing this thoughtful gesture, Ninomiya Chizuru nodded, then walked over and sat down beside him.
As soon as he sat down, Kurosawa Mitsuru stretched out his legs and walked directly into the stream.
“So comfortable~”
Feeling the cool and refreshing water flow, Kurosawa Hikaru shuddered all over and felt very happy.
This feeling is like playing a game on the basketball court, finally finishing it, taking off your shoes and washing your feet with cold water... That feeling is so refreshing that it's addictive.
Although they were not playing basketball, they were walking for a long time in the hot summer and their bodies were inevitably hot, so the feeling was similar.
Seeing his expression of enjoyment, Ninomiya Chizuru also became eager to try. She stretched out her long white legs and slowly moved towards the stream.
As she moved, Kurosawa Hikaru was also looking at her.
I saw her snow-white feet with her toes together, just like someone testing the water temperature before taking a hot spring bath, touching it with her toes first.
After touching it, the cool but not biting, rapid and gentle stream made Ninomiya Chizuru's heart flutter.
"It's really cool."
Immediately afterwards, Ninomiya Chizuru no longer hesitated, and directly put both feet into the water, and couldn't help but sigh.
In the hot late July, the feeling brought by the cool stream is the ultimate enjoyment.
Suddenly, she felt her whole body cool down and she felt refreshed.
Seeing her involuntarily reaction and the natural smile on her lips, Kurosawa Mitsuru was also very satisfied.
Being able to let her enjoy herself like this, it was worth all the time he had spent looking up travel guides and carefully selecting this place.
Although the journey is long, it is definitely worth it to come to such a paradise and play in the water after traveling through mountains and rivers.
"Kurosawa, thank you."
Ninomiya Chizuru swung her feet with great enjoyment, enjoying the refreshing feeling of the stream. Her body and mind were completely relaxed, and she turned her head.
"Why do you want to thank me?" Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little confused.
"In fact, I used to hang out with Runa, but the places were always in the Tokyo metropolitan area. I was able to move around freely since I became a teacher. Although I am no longer under control, I have to work and go to school, so I can't go far. I just go shopping, eat, and watch movies with her."
Regardless of gender, when people are enjoying and feeling comfortable, it is easy for them to let down their guard and express their true feelings.
At this moment, this is undoubtedly the case for Chizuru Ninomiya.
"I would never have come to a place like this. I might not have had the chance to come here in my lifetime. Thanks to you for bringing me here, I now know about such a great place."
At the end of her speech, she turned her head, and her blue eyes behind her frameless glasses stared at Kurosawa Hikaru, somewhat moved.
At this moment, she felt that all the efforts she had made since Monday, working overtime and staying up late just to spare this day with the final exams approaching, were worth it.
Maybe it took a lot of effort to come to a place like this, just to soak her feet in the stream... But such a simple thing led to a very special time, something she had never experienced before.
"Is there no chance in this lifetime..."
Her sincere words and gratitude were so genuine that Kurosawa Hikaru felt the same way.
In fact, his situation is not much better than that of Ninomiya Chizuru.
Because of his mediocrity in his previous life, he decided to turn over a new leaf this time, be down-to-earth and be a good person.
For the sake of his dream, his family, and to leave no regrets in his life, he has been a test taker since he was a child.
While other children were playing carefree and pretending to be in the house, he was reading a book.
While other children were traveling with their parents during holidays, he was reading.
While others were beginning to fall in love, young and ignorant, and having an unforgettable first love on campus, he was reading a book.
From childhood to adulthood, he has been studying hard just to get into the University of Tokyo, get the best academic qualifications in Japan, and become an elite in society and a winner in life.
He had been on edge for many years, and even two months ago when Tsumugi Akari approached him and started an online romance with him, he never relaxed. He just had a pleasant and short moment of rest.
He had never thought before that he would come to such a place.
"I should be the one thanking you. It's because of you that you were willing to accompany me on a three-hour car ride and travel through mountains and rivers that we were able to get to a place like this."
Kurosawa Mitsuru looked at her deeply, and after his thoughts were in a mess, he leaned his hands on the rock, lowered his head to look at the stream under his feet, raised his eyes to look at the scenery on the opposite bank, and felt very happy. He turned around and smiled.
In fact, it is very simple for him to come to such a place by himself, but that feeling is definitely not as good as it is now, with someone coming with him.
It's not bad to be alone, but if you have someone to accompany you, many things will be given special meaning.
"Isn't his smile so beautiful?" Ninomiya Chizuru looked at his smiling face and was distracted for a moment. She was even amazed and fell in love with it.
In fact, as early as when they first met, she thought Kurosawa Hikaru had a good appearance and temperament.
After several actual contacts, she discovered that Kurosawa Hikaru had many advantages.
He has a nice voice, fair skin, and a sunny and cheerful personality. When someone greets him, he will respond positively and friendly.
The most important thing is that his concentration, passion for learning and a certain persistence in his eyes during class made him stand out among the talented students at the University of Tokyo, giving her a unique feeling.
Perhaps an idea had sprouted in her mind since the first class after she met him, and it continued to grow over the past year.
When graduation is approaching, she wants to write a letter of recommendation for Kurosawa and introduce him to Jiuye Bank.
By then, they will be able to get rid of their identities as teacher and student, meet each other as new colleagues at Jiuye Bank... and fall in love.
"Ms. Ninomiya, what's wrong with you?"
Kurosawa Mitsuru saw that she was staring at him blankly with eyes full of obsession. After waiting for a while and seeing no movement, he thought for a while and waved his hand in front of her and asked.
He didn't actually want to interrupt her, but he was very curious about what he had done to make her so infatuated.
"Please smile again."
When Ninomiya Chizuru saw his smile disappear, she came to her senses, immediately lowered her head, opened her backpack, took out a thick stack of ten thousand yuan bills, and handed it to Kurosawa Hikaru.
Kurosawa Hikaru looked at the stack of banknotes she placed in front of him, estimated to be about one million, and then saw her lowering her head to beg, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
At this moment, he finally understood that it was his smile that charmed her.
"this… "
When Kurosawa Mitsuru realized the situation, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. For a moment he was at a loss as to what to do.
What should he do? Smile again? But it was hard for him to smile when someone asked him to do so... After all, he was not the kind of person who would smile for money.
Just then, Ninomiya Chizuru came to her senses.
She looked at the embarrassed expression of Kurosawa Mitsuru, then looked down at the money in her hand, and realized what she had done. Her heart was suddenly shaken.
"This water is really cold."
Kurosawa Hikaru noticed her embarrassment and shame, looked away at the stream at his feet, and then sighed as if nothing had happened.
"Yeah, it's really cool.
Ninomiya Chizuru saw the stairs and followed them down. She responded and quickly stuffed the money back into her bag. She lifted her hair with one hand and pushed it behind her, echoing the other.
Although she tried very hard to control her expression and make herself look calm, her trembling eyelashes and voice, as well as her face flushed with shyness and shame, exposed her mood.
At this moment, she really wanted to dive into the creek and drown.
Is she crazy? She actually wants to use money to make him laugh again... Using money to bribe others, what is the difference between her and her profit-seeking parents
