Chapter 45 Snowmelt ⑤

In summer, the most unmissable thing is the fireworks display.

Shinichi Furuya, the envoy who protects the younger sister, regrets missing the qualification to accompany Jasmine to the temple fair because of the temporary call from the teacher.However, the fireworks display at the summer festival is always the same, and Furuya Shinichi, who is sent out by his mother every year to take his younger sister to play, is actually not very willing to take up this job. Come to accompany the mission that is extremely boring.

"That can't be helped, I have to ask Zero-kun to escort Jasmine."

As soon as her son left, Mrs. Gu Gu showed a "planned" expression, and then called the next door. The speed was so fast that one couldn't help but wonder if she had planned it in advance.

To be honest, Mrs. Furuya also disliked her son.It was supposed to be a passionate summer festival, but he had a stern face and a cold attitude of not getting close to strangers, and he swayed from one end to the other like a young master with his hands all the way, feeling the warm atmosphere at all No, I'm totally sorry for the beautiful and gorgeous fireworks show.

Summer, night, yukata, festivals, fireworks... Is this the beginning of an inappropriate youth love story?At this moment, it is really necessary to let the young people get along alone!

Mrs. Furutani, who made up her mind, decided to add fuel to the flames.

On the other side, Mrs. Jiang Gu, an ally, put down the phone and said to Jiang Gu Ling with a smile: "Go early and come back early, have a good time!"

——The two mothers did plan ahead.

Jiang Guling somehow felt that there was something wrong with his mother's smile, so he couldn't see the blush due to his dark complexion, and muttered in an attempt to cover it up: "What, what's the fun, it's boring, I don't want to go..."

Mrs. Jiang Gu understated: "Really? If you don't want to go, why choose the bathrobe in advance?"

Someone who was poked: "...No!"

Hard-talking is hard-talking, after all, I changed into a bathrobe and went to the next door to knock on the door and call for someone.

When Jiang Guling came, Jasmine was also fighting with her long hair in front of the mirror in her room upstairs.

She usually only knows how to tie ponytails, and she can't even comb her buns neatly, either throwing a strand here or missing a pinch there.In previous summer festivals, her mother or elder brother would help her with her hairstyle. This year, her elder brother was not at home, and her mother was called away by the students just now. There was only one stupid dad who knew nothing left at home, and Jasmine was so angry that she wanted to cry.

Obviously, she managed to put on a very natural and appropriate makeup with the help of her mother, but without her mother's help, she couldn't even tie her fluffy and beautiful hair braids.

After following the video for a long time, the more she learned, the more clumsy her hands became. Her hair that was originally smooth was all blown apart, and Jasmine wanted to cry without tears.

Seeing that the appointed time has passed, the foot bag is not worn, and the clogs have not been taken out of the box, Jasmine can't wait to go out barefoot.However, the ignorant father urged her loudly downstairs: "Jasmine, what are you busy with? Go downstairs quickly, Mr. Zero is here!"

Jasmine also threw the comb on the sink in anger, and stared angrily at herself in the mirror.

With disheveled hair, he looked like a madman.

Mr. Gu Gu's urging came into the room again: "Jasmine too? If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

Jasmine also screamed silently, an annoyed groan came out of her throat.She curled her fingers against her forehead and thought for a few seconds, then decided to use the simplest hairstyle she knew - although it was a pity for the bathrobe she was wearing.

So, when she went downstairs, what Rei Furutani saw was a girl in a yukata of cherry-colored tuanka, but with a ponytail tied behind her head.

He held back, but couldn't help it: "...Are you planning to go out like this?" Isn't it a bit casual?

Jasmine was also so aggrieved that the corners of her eyes turned red, she bit her lip and remained silent for a long time.Mr. Gu Gu was not in the living room, and her petite temper was too embarrassed to rush to Gu Lingshi, so she could only grab the tassel on the handbag in embarrassment.

Jiang Guling sized her up for a while, then asked helplessly, "Is there a video? Tutorials or something, don't you girls often get together to study these things?"

Jasmine finally broke the can and said, "I can't learn it! My mother and brother helped me do my hair before!"

Make jokes if you like, don't care!Anyway, Gu Gu Mo Li is such a clumsy fellow.

What girl doesn't want to go out dressed up?What's more, it's still with the people you like.

Seeing that Jasmine also obviously misunderstood what she meant, Jiang Gu Ling sighed: "I mean, where is your tutorial, show me, I will try to see if I can... Cough, help you braid your hair?" Since Brother Gu Gu It can do it, there's no reason why he can't, right?

Jasmine also: "...Huh?"

After 10 minutes, Jiang Guling, who finished studying the braiding tutorial, began to try his hand on Jasmine's head.

Jasmine also sat down obediently, trying to stabilize her emotions while trying to control the shortness of breath caused by her rapid heartbeat.Her eyes were fixed on the mirror in front of her, but her eyes couldn't help looking up along Jiang Gu Ling's hand, and she quickly looked away when she saw half of it.

Jiang Gu Ling was not as comfortable as he showed.First of all, he needs to overcome the unnatural feeling brought by being too close to Jasmine. Fortunately, his serious personality makes it easy for him to devote himself to the work of braiding hair, and begins to follow the steps of the tutorial meticulously. Take your time.

However, learning and being able to do it are not the same thing. Jasmine’s long hair is very unfriendly to new hair braiders. Jiang Gu Ling frowned, fighting against the slippery hair in front of him, and had no extra energy at all. Pay attention to Jasmine's sneak peek at him too.But after all, he is Jiang Gu Ling with strong learning ability and hands-on ability, and he quickly grasped the essentials.

Not long after, you're done.

"Phew! Finished!"

Jiang Guling asked Jasmine to also look in the mirror to see if there was any dissatisfaction.

"...It's pretty good." Jasmine also lowered her eyes, and muttered softly, "It's so troublesome, why don't you just cut it all off."

"Huh? That's a pity." Jiang Gu Ling patted Jasmine's head lightly, passed over her shoulder, and picked out a finely crafted flower hairpin that could match a cherry-colored bathrobe from the jewelry box and handed it to her, "I don't like it." If it's troublesome, I'll braid your hair for you in the future?"

--what the hell!Foul foul!

Jasmine's cheeks were also flushed, she got up in a hurry, grabbed the flower hairpin and stuck it on her head indiscriminately, then pushed Jiang Guling: "Let's go, let's go!"

Jiang Gu Ling, who was completely unaware that he was flirting with his sister, said, "...Huh? Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge?"

Not even a "thank you"?Anyway, I have been busy for a long time, right?

——Oh, girls are really difficult to serve.

Jiang Guling sighed in his heart.

***

Taiyaki, cotton candy, apple candy, octopus balls, ferrules, pitching machines, fishing for goldfish, fishing for water balloons, selling wind chimes, selling folding fans, selling masks, selling handicrafts...

Walking all the way, eating, drinking and playing, there is no shortage of everything that temple fairs should have.

Jasmine's hot face had been blown by the cool summer night wind for a long time before finally showing a tendency to cool down a little.Then she found that the newly changed wooden clogs didn't seem to follow her feet well, and after walking for a long time, the soles of her feet began to feel a little uncomfortable.

So, when Rei Fuguya asked her if she wanted to visit the shrine, she shook her head.

"I wanted to say it just now," Jiang Gu Ling looked down, and glanced at the strange walking posture of the girl beside him, "Do you need me to help you buy a pair of shoes? I remember that there seemed to be a stall selling slippers nearby. Just now I saw it as I was passing by."

Jasmine was also full of resistance, and whispered: "Don't wear slippers..." You will be laughed at!

"Huh?" Jiang Gu Ling really couldn't understand what she was thinking, "Compared to wearing slippers, you would rather be tortured by ill-fitting clogs?" What kind of pursuit is this?

"Anyway, there's no need to change it anyway, I'm fine!" Jasmine also lowered her head, emphasizing again in a low voice, "I'm fine."

——There is really nothing to do with her.

Jiang Gu Ling looked around helplessly, then his eyes lit up slightly, he pointed to the wooden bench not far away, and said to Jasmine, "It's okay if we go there for a rest first?"

Molly agrees.

So the two sat on the bench.

As the night grew darker, more people visited the temple fair. Boys and girls in bathrobes sat on the side of the road, and their outstanding looks attracted many good-natured glances.

It's not good to be silent all the time, and Jasmine also asked out of nothing, "Jing Guang-jun won't come out to play today?"

Jiang Gu Ling replied: "He went back to Nagano to visit his brother."

Jasmine also realized: "Oh, that's Mr. Gao Ming who works in the Nagano Police Headquarters." He was clearly the number one student in the law school of Dongda University, but he was working as a policeman in the non-professional group. I can understand my brother's choice.

"Yes." Jiang Guling nodded his head when he mentioned this brother Zhufu, "His ability can clearly pass the Class I exam, isn't it good for the professional group?"

"Maybe everyone has their own ambitions."

Jasmine also sat on the chair, raising her heels alternately with minimal movements, trying to relieve the symptoms of discomfort on the soles of her feet in this way.After a while, she couldn't help being curious, and still raised the question in her heart.

"Regarding Mr. Zero, what are your plans for the future? I always feel that you have a good impression of the police profession."

Furutani Rei folded his hands behind his head, stretched his legs, and leaned back on the chair, in a relaxed state: "Well, after graduating from university, I will take the exam, and it's good to be a policeman in the Metropolitan Police Department—or a policeman The hall is also very good?"

"Mr. Ling has no pressure at all in the occupational group. Do you want to take the bureaucratic route?" In her mind, she imagined the scene of Ling Gu wearing a police uniform and ordering her subordinates domineeringly, and Jasmine couldn't help laughing, "Ah, I suddenly feel a little bit looking forward to Zero." You are acting like an officer."

Jiang Gu Ling also smiled: "Really? I am also looking forward to it. ——What about Jasmine? What do you think about the future?"

Jasmine also put away her smile, frowned and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly: "I don't have any ideas...or else I will become a policeman like Mr. Zero? But, I don't dare to face the gangsters, in case the hostages are rescued I didn't think carefully at the time, and accidentally caused some irreparable damage..."

"Most female police officers are traffic police or civil servants." Jiang Gu Ling comforted her, "It is almost impossible to face gangsters! If you are afraid, when choosing a career direction, don't choose criminal police!"

"It can be considered..."

Jasmine's heart was also pounding, so would it count as fighting side by side with Mr. Zero?Although the two don't seem to be able to work together, they are both police officers, so there must be more common language!

She was indulging in her own little pleasure, but Jiang Gu Ling changed the subject very naturally: "I heard that this year's school trip is postponed?"

"Ah?" Jasmine was also taken aback for a moment before she realized, "Oh, yes, we may not leave until winter." She is one of the main members of the student union and has a good understanding of these things, "The school wants to arrange for us to go to Niigata, There's a lot of ski resorts over there. But—" she gave a troubled smile, "I don't know anything about skiing! Ugh."

"Skiing is not difficult, I will teach you when the time comes." Jiang Gu zero mouth slightly raised, looking sideways at the girl sitting next to him intently.

Jasmine also blushed and pursed her lips: "Okay."

Although the two have never confessed to each other, they have actually shown it clearly.You can't hide your liking, even if you close your mouth, your eyes will say it. You just need to observe carefully, and you can see the difference in how they treat each other.

The atmosphere was just right, so Jiang Gu Ling asked: "From now on, I will watch fireworks with you every summer and go skiing with you in winter, how about it?"

At the moment when the fireworks flew into the air, Jasmine also looked at him.

She was excited in her heart, but she refused to show it, she just smiled and said, "Okay."

Every year after that, we are together.

——That's it!
