Chapter 56 56. Holding hands for the first time

At nine o'clock in the morning, Kurose Izumi finished all the housework and went out with Chirei Shiraishi who changed into casual clothes.

Her casual dress was a fluffy white sleeveless dress with lovely butterfly ties at the waist and chest.

To match the dress, she also wore sandals with straps, exposing her pink and tender toes, ivory white insteps and calves.

Speaking of which, Kurose Izumi is the first time seeing Chirei Shiraishi in casual clothes.

She was wearing home clothes yesterday. Although it is very cute, the style of the clothes is very simple.

But now, she is undoubtedly the cutest in the dress!
Walking with Chirei Shiraishi on Jimbocho Street, along the riverside, passers-by cast their gazes one after another.

What's more, he bumped his head on the electric pole because he was stunned!
"Cute, Shiraishi is really cute..."

Izumi Kurose and Qianrei Shiraishi walked side by side, glancing at her from the corner of their eyes, and kept calling her cute!
"It's surprisingly good to come out for a walk."

Baishi Qianlian looked sideways at the glistening river, and stretched out her hand to tie a strand of hair blown away by the spring breeze, behind her ear.

The cherry blossom trees planted on the side street drifted between the two and fell on top of their heads.

Kurose Izumi stretched out his hand subconsciously, and naturally picked up a cherry blossom stained on her hair for Chirei Shiraishi.

"Thank you." Shiraishi Qianren thanked softly.

"It's okay, you don't blame me for doing this all of a sudden."

"Kurose, you are always serious about some strange places."

Shiraishi Qianrei looked away from the riverside, turned to look at Kurose Izumi, and said with a smile, "How can I blame you for this kind of behavior?"

"...Well, I see." Kurose Izumi turned his head away in embarrassment, and responded in a low voice.

Then, many thoughts emerged in his mind, all of which were analyzing the implication of Baishi Qianlian's words.

I always feel that she is saying that they are doing some ambiguous behavior, which is already a habit and not worth worrying about.

If that's the case, what's the point?

hold hands?

Or a hug or something?

Speaking of hugs, it seemed that because of a moment of excitement yesterday morning, I hugged Shiraishi Qianrei tightly, right?
It was the same this morning, hugging each other tightly, truly feeling the softness and warmth of Shiraishi Chirei's body.

In that case, will we hug again tomorrow?

And what is the opportunity to hug each other?

Is it out of accident, or out of anxiety, or a natural hug...

Izumi Kurose thought about these things absent-mindedly, and felt that he cared more and more about Chirei Shiraishi!

"You've left Jimbocho."

Suddenly, a soft voice came from his ear, awakening his thoughts.

Kurose Izumi, who came back to his senses, looked at the busy streets and tall buildings in front of him, and found that they had come to Ichiban Town unknowingly.

"Ah... yes, do you want to go back? Or do you want to continue walking?"

"What about you? Do you want to leave or go back?" Shiraishi Qianlian asked softly.

"I..." Kurose Izumi scratched his head, a little troubled, "Actually, I want you to go back, after all, you are still injured."

"I……"

Just as Shiraishi Qianlian was about to speak, Kurose Izumi said again: "However, it seems that you really want to walk again, so let's walk for a while."

When Shiraishi Qianrei heard the words, she showed a heart-pounding smile in vain.

"Well, sure enough, Kurose is very gentle."

"..."

Kurose Izumi pretended to be deaf and dumb, just walked forward without responding.

But under his black hair, his red ears exposed everything.

The two walked out of Ichibancho side by side, came to Chiyoda Station again, walked through the underground passage, and took a train.

On Chiyoda's side, there was nothing to see, so they decided to go to Shinjuku Gyoen.

On the silver-white tram bench, the two sat down with half a human gap between them.

"I feel a little tired."

When Kurose Izumi was looking out the window in front of him and the scenery galloping by, Chirei Shiraishi's voice suddenly sounded beside him.

Immediately, there was a burst of weight and warmth on the shoulders, and there was a sentence that seemed to be tired:
"Can you just let me lean on it like this?"

Izumi Kurose pursed his thin lips and did not speak, which was a tacit agreement.

In fact, he was very happy to be needed by Shiraishi Qianrei.

It doesn't matter how long she has to rely on, even if it is forever.

Time ticked, and eight minutes later, the train made three stops and arrived in Shinjuku.

During this time, each other felt that it was short and passed away in a flash, and reluctance and nostalgia remained in their hearts.

But the tram had already arrived and had to get off.

They got up, walked out of the carriage together, stepped on the platform, and left slowly.

This scene, in the eyes of outsiders, looks like a couple going on a date.

Go out from the southeast exit of Shinjuku Station and go to the Shinjuku Gate of Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. It only takes 7 to [-] minutes on foot.

There are many high-rise commercial buildings along the way, the traffic is like weaving, and pedestrians shuttle back and forth.

Because of the dense crowd, the two walked relatively close together, almost shoulder to shoulder.

And the hands they put under their bodies fluctuated with their steps, and occasionally there would be friction on the back of their hands, and their fingertips would touch together.

But neither of them took back their hands, they just let them touch each other like this.

Kurose Izumi pretended to be nonchalant, watching the continuous traffic ahead, feeling very nervous.

There was an impulse urging him to hold Shiraishi Qianrei's hand.

But the rationality in the subconscious is alerting myself again, not to do anything out of line, so as not to make the relationship embarrassing.

Shiraishi Qianrei may not refuse on the surface, but she is resisting this behavior in her heart.

After all, she is such a person, very gentle and considerate.

So in this situation, Kurose Izumi was very entangled, not knowing whether he could hold him or not.

And their hands were just testing like this.

Occasionally rubbed the back of the hand, and occasionally fingers pressed against each other, but in the end they couldn't pull.

Baishi Qianlian didn't refuse, nor took the initiative, but just walked forward silently.

In this way, the two walked into the garden in Shinjuku Gyoen.

As far as the eye can see, there are lush green forests, vast grasslands, artificial small lakes and gurgling water.

These scenes isolate the hustle and bustle, only tranquility and far-reaching.

This oasis located in the center of the downtown area covers an area of ​​about 58 hectares, with a combination of Japanese, French and English gardens, making it an ideal place for picnics.

Not only that, it is also the filming location of the famous anime "The Garden of Words".

Because it is spring, and because of the weekend, there are many people who come to play.

This seemed to be an excuse—an excuse to drive Kurose Izumi to hold hands.

He tentatively reached out his hand, and gently held Shiraishi Qianrei's tender little hand.

"That...it feels like there are a lot of people...that's..."

Kurose Izumi stammered and wanted to explain his behavior, but everything felt forced and lame.

As for its lame excuse, Shiraishi Chirei just clenched her hands slightly.

And, he took the initiative to insert his fingers into Kurose Izumi's fingers, and interlocked with his fingers.

Then, she turned her head sideways, and said with a smile like a flower under the delicate cherry blossom tree by the lake:

"If you want to hold hands, you can just say so. Maybe this is an interesting experience, maybe it is."

　Brothers, promise me that on Monday and Tuesday, you must give me a catch-up, okay?
