Cherish the time

"Actually...it's okay to tell him. 』

Zuo Wei looked back at Nico who was standing behind him holding the computer, and said hesitantly.

"Now you don't need to hide the fact that Sakou and you are alone. 』

"…No. 』Shinto denied his statement, turned around and entered the elevator, and disappeared from Nico's sight.

"Goodluck, Shindoukun {good luck, Shindo-kun}!"

The moment before the elevator doors closed, Nico's loud voice reached Shindou's ears.

...Are you stupid?

Shinto paused for half a second, not responding to his shout.

Seeing Shinto's figure disappear behind the elevator door, Nicole clenched his fists and swung them fiercely in front of him, shouting "Bravo!"

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he immediately called Iris' phone number.

After more than ten seconds of waiting, the call was connected, and then Nicole said quickly, "Oh! Iris! You are really great! How did you come up with this idea!"

"...It's enough to use your brain a little bit." Iris was obviously not surprised by this result, "I have something to do here, do you have anything else to say?"

"Oh, yes, yes..." Nico hurriedly got down to business, "What should I do next?"

"I think...if this is a story that the other party is unwilling to bring up, I think it's better for you not to delve into it." At this moment, Iris on the other end of the phone acted quite rationally, "...in fact, about what I said last night I have already regretted those words.”

"Eh?" Hearing such a sentence, Nico immediately lost his composure, "No no no Iris—"

"——So I'm afraid I can only help you here." But the other party didn't give him a chance to change his mind, and hung up the phone after saying this.

"Hello? Hello? Iris?" Hearing the busy tone from the phone, it seemed as if a dark cloud was hung over Nico's head instantly, and his whole person suddenly became frowning.

Noon break.

As soon as Hikari Shinto entered the lounge, he saw Mr. Nico who was sitting on a chair with a computer in his arms.

Shinto: ...

The moment he saw Shinto, Nico's eyes lit up as if seeing his master, and he immediately waved his hand at Shinto.

However, after thinking about it for about a second, Shinto decisively decided to turn a blind eye to him.

"is this okay? 』Zuowei glanced at the foreigner who became depressed at that moment with some concern.

"I can't understand what he's saying anyway, can I?" 』Shinto, who was holding a bento, sat on the seat away from Nico, 『Also, I really think it’s better not to have too much contact with him. 』

"But..." Zuowei glanced back at the man's aggrieved expression, then at Shinto who was eating calmly, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

——Why does he feel that Xiaoguang is enjoying it a little bit?

In fact, Shinto regretted it the second he entered his account number this morning.

From the perspective of personal privacy, even if the account number is not valuable, the average person will not leave it in a stranger's computer so easily—unless he thinks that disclosing the account will bring more results than not disclosing it good.

So for Shindo, what is the result of entering his account number in exchange for it?

——Is it simply not thinking too much, is it to get rid of Nico's entanglement...or...to cover up the relationship between him and Sakou?

Even if this little incident does not support any inferences or explain any problems, it is enough to make people suspicious.

...and doubt itself is quite a troublesome thing.

Shinto Hikaru thought for a while, and then made a decision.

——It's still... better not to get close to him.

However, he had his own plans, and Nico also had his own.

Seeing that Shinto ignored him, Nico simply came to sit opposite Shinto with his computer and backpack on his back, and looked at Shinto who was eating with a flattering smile.

Shindo glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued eating his meal.

"Look {Listen}," Nicole gave him another big smile, then cleared his throat, and began to say the line he had been brewing all morning, "I think there a little misunderstandings between {I think there seems to be a little misunderstanding between us}, which salt most my fault {It's mostly my fault}."

Shinto ate in silence, perfectly interpreting what it means to go in the left ear and out the right ear.

"IcometoJapantoseekaperson {I came to Japan to find someone}, who was famous in Internet for an ID called Sakou {This guy whose network ID is Sakou is very famous on the Internet}."

"THISpersonmeansalottome{this person is very important to me}—believeme, Idon'twannahurthim{please believe me, I don't mean to hurt him at all}."

"If you did know him, tell me something, please {if you really know him, please tell me, please}."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Shinto's expression eagerly, hoping for some reaction from him.

Seeing how pitiful he was, Shinto finally couldn't help but replied, "I'm sorry, but I can't understand you {I'm sorry...but I really don't understand what you're talking about}.”

Just when Nico could do nothing, a girl named Hitomi Tsukino walked into the lounge with a lunch box.

She subconsciously glanced at the people in the lounge, and very quickly found Hikari Shindo sitting in the corner... and the big foreigner opposite him.

She took two steps over there with some doubts, just in time to meet Nico moaning while scratching his head, "Ikhaat de ta al barrière, I hate the language barrier!"

The exasperated shout was in Dutch, but a moment later he apologized in English to the accusing glances around him.

Seeing Shinto's helpless expression, Hitomi Tsukino blushed slightly, and then said cheers to herself in her heart.

She bravely walked up to the two of them.

"Excuseme, may I help you{excuse me, may I help you with anything}?"

Although not many people know about it, Hitomi Tsukino actually has pretty good English—at least, it’s pretty good compared to most Japanese.

With her help, Nicole and Shindo finally got rid of the embarrassing situation of talking to each other, and can really start to communicate.

Nicole was grateful to her, and praised her as the angel of the East.

Although Shindo also expressed his gratitude for her help, it gave Tsukino a feeling that he was not very happy, which made her feel very uneasy, and her whole heart was in a state of unsteadiness.

After Tsukino joined, Nico repeated what he had said before, and then Tsukino translated it into Japanese and told Shinto.

However, Shinto just shook his head indifferently.

Just when Nico was about to say something, he raised his palm to stop his movement, but faced Tsukino, and said the following words word by word.

"I admire your persistence, but I'm sorry, I don't know anything about Sakou, and I have nothing to tell you."

"To be honest, some of your behavior has troubled me, so I'm not very willing to talk to you-my friend advised me so."

"If possible, I hope you will not disturb my life any more."

What he said was very relentless, and Tsukino, who was the translator, was shocked by his straightforwardness and refusal, racked his brains to embellish the words, and stammered and relayed them to Nico.

"..." The big foreigner was silent.

"...I'm sorry{I'm sorry}..."

His blue eyes are full of sorrow and apology, "I'm so sorry, but {I'm really sorry, but}..."

Shinto waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say any more, then nodded to Tsukino to express his gratitude, and then walked away with the lunch box.

Nico let out a long sigh, lowered his head and rested his forehead on the dining table.

Tsukino hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask him.

"If...Ifyoudon'tmind{If...if you don't mind}, couldyoutellmewhathappenedbefore{Can you tell me what happened before}?Ineversawhimspeakinthatway{I've never seen him speak that way}…"
