Chapter 174 Please Smile Again

"Gulu?" This swallowing action made Ninomiya Chizuru stunned.

She found that Kurosawa Hikaru was looking at her, as if he was attracted by something.

Realizing this, she lowered her head and looked, and saw that her knee-length dress naturally hung down.

"Didn't you get exposed?"

Ninomiya Chizuru was a little confused and couldn't figure out what attracted him.

His gaze was looking down, and the only thing in front of him were her legs and feet, but could this also be attractive?

Logically speaking, shouldn't her legs look better when she was wearing stockings just now?

Because stockings can modify the shape of the legs to be more smooth and soft...and she knows that men like black stockings.

"A little thirsty."

At the same time, Kurosawa Hikaru reacted, noticed her doubts, and also said.

After that, he took action and walked towards the big rock where many things were placed. He took out a bottle of water from the bag and drank a few sips.

Not to mention, he was indeed a little thirsty.

"Do you want a drink of water?"

After Kurosawa finished drinking, he took out another unopened bottle of mineral water.

"Yes, be careful when you take off your shoes later. The rocks 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 cautiously.

She grew up in Tokyo and had never been to such a remote and undeveloped mountain forest before.

After receiving the water, she placed the crumpled stockings and shoes on the stone, and then drank two mouthfuls of water to moisten her throat.

Seeing her drinking water, Kurosawa sat down on the stone and quickly took off his shoes and socks.

"Let's go and play for a while first."

Rolling up his trousers, he took the lead and walked towards the creek.

"good."

Ninomiya Chizuru nodded, sealed the bottle cap back, put the things away, and followed.

"You sit here."

Arriving at the creek, Kurosawa sat down on the edge of a large protruding stone, and then spread a few pieces of paper next to it.

Sitting directly on such a stone that was wetted by water splashes, his clothes would easily get stretched, but he didn't care. A pat on the butt would be enough later. Even if the pat wasn't clean, it wouldn't be a big problem.

But Miss Ninomiya is wearing a skirt after all, and she is still a girl. If the clothes are dirty, it will still be unsightly.

"Thanks."

Seeing this careful move, Ninomiya Chizuru nodded, walked to him and sat down next to him.

When he sat down, Kurosawa Hikaru stretched his legs and feet directly into the stream.

“So comfortable~”

Feeling the cold and refreshing water, Kurosawa Hikaru felt a thrill all over and felt very happy.

This feeling is like playing a game on the basketball court, but after the game is over, you take off your shoes and wash your feet with cold water... That feeling is simply addictive.

Although they were not playing basketball, they were walking in the scorching summer weather and their bodies would inevitably get hot after walking for a long time. The feeling was similar.

Seeing his expression of enjoyment, Ninomiya Chizuru was eager to give it a try. She stretched out her long snow-white legs and slowly leaned toward the stream.

Following her movements, Kurosawa Hikaru was also looking at her.

I saw her snow-white feet, with her toes pressed together, just like a person testing the temperature of the water before bathing in a hot spring, touching it with her toes first.

After touching it, the cold but not biting, swift and gentle stream made Ninomiya Chizuru's heartstrings tremble.

"It's so cold."

Immediately afterwards, Ninomiya Chizuru no longer hesitated, directly put her feet into the water together, and couldn't help but sigh.

In the hot late July, the feeling of the cold stream is the ultimate enjoyment.

Suddenly, she felt that her whole body had cooled down and she felt refreshed.

Seeing her uncontrollable reaction and the natural smile on her lips, Kurosawa Hikaru was also very satisfied.

Being able to let her enjoy it so much was a testament to the fact that he had spent so much time checking travel guides and carefully selected this place.

Although the journey is long, after traveling through mountains and rivers, it is definitely worth it to come to such a paradise and play in the water together.

"Kurosawa, thank you."

Ninomiya Chizuru swung her feet with great enjoyment, enjoying the refreshing flow of the stream. She completely relaxed her body and mind and turned her head.

"Why do you want to thank me?" Kurosawa Hikaru was a little confused.

"Actually, I used to go out with Runa, but the places were always in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Because I was able to move freely when I became a teacher. Although I no longer need to be controlled, because I still have to work and go to class, I have always been Not far away, just going shopping, eating and watching movies with her.”

Regardless of whether they are men or women, it is easy for people to let go of their guard and express their feelings when they are in an enjoyable and comfortable situation.

This is undoubtedly the case for Ninomiya Chizuru at this moment.

"It should be impossible for me to come to a place like this. I may never have the opportunity in this life. Thanks to you for bringing me here, I learned about such a wonderful place."

At the end of the sentence, she turned her head sideways, and her blue eyes behind her rimless glasses stared at Kurosawa Hikaru, a little trembling.

At this moment, she felt that the efforts she had put in to work overtime and stay up late since Monday, just to spare this day when the final exam was approaching, were all worth it.

Perhaps she had put a lot of effort into coming to a place like this, just soaking her feet by the stream... But such a simple thing contributed to a very special time, something she had never experienced before.

"You may not have a chance in this life..."

Her sincere words and gratitude made Kurosawa feel the same.

In fact, his situation is not much better than that of Ninomiya Chizuru.

Because of his mediocrity in his previous life, this time he was determined to change his appearance, be down-to-earth, and be a good person.

For his dream, for his family, and for his own life without any regrets, he has been a roll king since he was a child.

While other people's children were playing carefree and playing house, he was reading.

When other people's children were traveling with their parents during the holidays, he was reading.

While others were in love for the first time and had an unforgettable first love on campus, he was reading a book.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been studying hard just to be admitted to Dongda University, get the best academic qualifications in Neon, and go out into the society to become an elite and a winner in life.

He has been tense for many years. Even two months ago, when Tsumugi Akari approached him and started dating him online, he never relaxed. It was just a pleasant and short rest.

He never imagined that he would come to such a place before.

"I just want to thank you. Thanks to you being willing to accompany me in the car for three hours and traveling through mountains and rivers, we can come to a place like this."

Kurosawa Hikaru looked at her deeply. After his thoughts were racing, he put his hands on the rocks, lowered his head to look at the stream at his feet, and raised his eyes to look at the scenery on the other side. He felt very happy, turned around and smiled.

In fact, it is easy for him to come to this kind of place alone, but the feeling is definitely not as good as now when someone comes with him.

It's not bad to be alone, but if you have someone to accompany you, many things will be given special meaning.

"His smile is so beautiful, isn't it?" Ninomiya Chizuru looked at his smiling face and was distracted for a moment. She was even stunned and fell into it.

In fact, as early as the first meeting, she felt that Kurosawa Hikaru's appearance and temperament were very good.

After several actual contacts with him, she discovered that Kurosawa Hikaru had many advantages.

He has a nice voice, fair skin, and a bright and cheerful personality. When anyone greets him, he will respond positively and friendly.

The most important thing is that when he was in class, his concentration, enthusiasm for learning, and a certain persistence in his eyes made him stand out in the talented Tokyo University and gave her a unique Feel.

Perhaps it was from the first class after meeting him that some kind of idea sprouted in her mind, and it continued to sprout for more than a year.

When graduation was approaching, she wanted to help Kurosawa write a letter of recommendation to Jiuye Bank.

By then, they will be able to get rid of their identities as teachers and students, and meet as new colleagues at Jiuye Bank... and fall in love.

"Miss Ninomiya, what's wrong with you?"

Kurosawa Hikaru saw her looking at him blankly, her eyes full of obsession. After waiting for a while, there was no movement. After thinking about it, he waved his hand in front of her and asked.

He actually didn't want to interrupt her, but he was very curious, what did he do to make her so obsessed?

"Please smile again."

Seeing his smile disappear, Ninomiya Chizuru came to her senses, immediately lowered her head, opened her backpack, took out a thick wad of 10,000-yuan bills, and handed it to Kurosawa Hikaru.

Kurosawa looked at the wad of banknotes that she brought to him, estimated to be one million, and when he saw her lowering her head in begging, he couldn't help but be stunned.

At this moment, he finally understood that it was his smile that fascinated her.

"this……"

Kurosawa Hikaru realized the situation and felt a little embarrassed. He was at a loss for a moment and didn't know what to do.

What should he do? Laugh again? But being asked to laugh again made it really difficult for him to laugh... After all, he is not the kind of person who sells laughter for money.

At this moment, Ninomiya Chizuru came to her senses.

She looked at Kurosawa Hikaru's embarrassed expression, then lowered her head to see the money in her hand. When she realized what she had done, she felt a huge earthquake in her heart.

"This water is really cold."

Kurosawa Hikaru noticed her embarrassment and shame, turned his eyes away and looked at the stream at his feet, and sighed as if nothing happened.

"Yes, it's really cold.

When Ninomiya Chizuru saw the steps, she followed him down the steps. She responded and quickly stuffed the money back into her bag. She pushed her hair behind her with one hand and echoed.

Although she tried very hard to control her expression and look calm, her trembling eyelashes and voice, as well as her face that was flushed from shyness and shame, revealed her mood.

At this moment, she really wanted to plunge into the valley and drown.

Is she crazy? She actually wants to use money to make him laugh again... If she uses money to bribe others, what is the difference between her and her mercenary parents?
