Xiongyingwai, bus station.

Because the child had to pack the backpack for going out, and there was a little accident before going out, Shirama went out a little later than the agreed time with Hong—and afraid that the bus would run away, Shirama still hugged the dragon Zi, dragged Mrs. Long to the school gate.

And Hong has long been waiting by the bus stop with his mobile phone, so he can meet Bai Jian with ease.

The style is different from the day when the two watched the group arena. Today, Baijian is wearing a t-shirt and shorts, plus a pair of sneakers and a peaked cap. At first glance, she is dressed mainly in light clothes. She hugged the dragon and found that she was standing there Concentrated and relaxed, Hong Jiaodong walked to his side with a blushing face and panting, "Good morning...Little, little Jiaodong, the bus hasn't run yet..."

"Good morning." Hong nodded slightly, seeing her in a hurry, he reached out to take the child's backpack for her, and calmly comforted her: "I just checked with the APP, and the bus on weekends will be delayed than usual a little."

"That would be great..." Bai Jian put Long Zi on the ground, patted his chest again and panted.

"...Oh yeah! I'm going to the aquarium!"

"I want to see the devil fish! Hey, brother Hongbai, can devil fish do magic!" In contrast to Bai Jian's state of being about to become a Buddha, it is the twins who have their excitement written on their faces - Long Taihe Long Zi looked at Hong Jiao Dong with glowing eyes, and asked with incomparable innocence.

"...Well, no. Besides, I'm not brother Hongbai, but Hong Jiaodong." Hong replied calmly.

"...The number 13 is lying! He obviously said that devil fish can do magic!" Ignoring the serious self-introduction, Long Tai frowned displeasedly and said indignantly.

boom:……

Bai Jian: What did you teach your children on the 13th...

Teacher No. 13: It is very tiring to take care of the children (tea)

......

"Speaking of which, I really want to thank Little Jiao Dong for agreeing to my invitation..."

After a while, comforting Long Tai who was saddened by the cruel fact that devil fish can't do magic, Bai Jian said with a smile again: "If I'm the only one who takes them out, maybe I really don't know what to do."

"It's okay." Hong stared intently at the two kids who had been excited since just now, if Bai Jian had to take the two kids on a long journey alone, it would indeed be worrying just by imagining it.

"By the way, there's also..." Bai Jian was stunned for a moment, looking at Hong's expressionless face, he remembered that there was something he had to tell him.

"What?" He looked at her with calm eyes.

But Baijian looked up at his pair of blue-gray pupils with different colors, hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the excited and cheering voices of a pair of twins: "Ah, the bus is coming!" "Bus, bus!"

"...Ah! Don't run around, it's dangerous!"

Bai Jian hurriedly put his arms around the two children who were about to rush to the car, took out two coins from the wallet given by teacher No. 13, put them in the hands of the two children, and then raised his fingertips to teach: "Will this be a while?" In the car, you can’t run around after inserting coins—”

Longzi and Longtai replied in unison: "I know/I know!"

Because he was busy looking at the two children who were always excited, Bai Jian had no time to say what he wanted to say to Hong, so he shrugged his shoulders to express his helplessness, and was busy taking the twins into the car—while Hong followed behind to watch Looking at the busy figure in Bai Jian, even though she felt that what she said just now was more than enough, she still lost the opportunity to ask.

……

After a lot of tinkering and dealing with all kinds of imaginative problems of the two brats in the car, a group of four finally arrived at the newly opened giant aquarium in the city.

Seeing the gorgeously decorated and eye-catching appearance of the aquarium, Mrs. Long didn't have time to be sad about the truth about the manta ray. Instead, she climbed onto Shirama like a koala, pestering her to hand over the ticket to enter the venue quickly—— And it was even worse after entering the arena. A pair of twins were running around in the aquarium like wild horses. Bai Jian and Hong Guang wanted to stare at the two children, so they felt that they had to be smart.

"Little Jiao Dong, if the twins run away separately, you go to Mrs. Long, and I'll catch the dragon!" Bai Jian held a dragon who was jumping for joy because of the jellyfish, and said to Hong again solemnly. Said.

"Understood." Hong nodded silently. Although Mrs. Long didn't seem to like to listen to his words very much, if he only wanted to catch him, he should be able to do it.

——Speaking of which, he was happy for a little while yesterday because he was able to go out with Bai Jian—but it seems that he can't consider being alone today. If he and Bai Jian succeed in being alone, it will definitely mean something Something went wrong with the twins, didn't it?

A trace of helplessness and frustration flashed across Hong's face, and he was about to look at the child seriously, but suddenly heard a voice calling for him from Baijian.

"Little Jiao Dong! Look at this, it was discovered by Longzi!"

Bai Jian embraced Long Zi with one hand, and waved vigorously at him with the other—and Hong walked to her side in three steps and two steps, and followed Bai Jian's line of sight to look into the aquarium.

It was a group of beige thorn balls living next to the rock, and there was a label of "Sea Urchin in Immortal Pot" next to it, and Bai Jian couldn't help but smile when he saw it: "It looks like Senior Bohao! When he's angry, his hair becomes like a sea urchin!"

"Brother who is furious!" Long Zi also giggled.

And Hong calmly looked at the slowly moving white thorny ball in the water, was silent for a while, and then said sullenly: "It really looks like it."

"That's right!" Bai Jian smiled slyly to Hong, showing a row of white teeth, which looked very cute.

Then, Bai Jian chatted with him a lot, looking at the satisfied smile on her lips, the tense face also softened at some point.

——Well, although I can't be alone, it's good to just be able to come out and get along with Shirama on the rest day.Boom thought sincerely.

"Hey, where is Mrs. Long?" Just as Bai Jian was about to pull out her phone to take a picture of the fairy pot sea urchin, she was surprised to find that Mrs. Long who was supposed to be by her side had disappeared—Bai Jian My heart tightened, and I hurriedly asked Long Zi again.

"Long Tai seems to have gone back to look at the jellyfish!" Long Zi blinked, but he was supposed to be in charge of staring at Long Tai's face for a moment, and apologized hurriedly, "Sorry, I missed it, I Get him back right away."

"It's okay, let's go together!" As if seeing the tension on Hong's face, Bai Jian immediately reached out to touch Hong's arm, smiled at him, and trotted back to the previous exhibition area with Long Zi : "Mrs. Long definitely didn't run far, don't worry."

"Oh, yes." Hong nodded, his nervousness was instantly soothed by the girl's gentle smile, he regained his composure, and immediately caught up with the girl's pace.

……

Fortunately, the three of them found Ryuta in good condition in the jellyfish pavilion almost without any difficulty afterwards.

"If Mrs. Long runs around again, my brother and I will put you in the childcare center, and only take Longzi to visit the aquarium?" Before the group set off, Bai Jian specially warned.

"Wow...don't!" Mrs. Long frowned, and took Hong's hand obediently, with a face that couldn't run around.

"That's good." Bai Jian touched Long Tai's head in satisfaction, and took Long Zi's little hand again - she and Hong were in charge of each other, so that the child would not be lost again.

"...Sister, I want to see that Yuyu!" While Bai Jian was staring at Long Tai, Long Zi happily pulled Bai Jian's palm again, she came back to her senses, and walked with Long Zi again Near an ocean tunnel made of aquariums.

The petite Long Zi smiled and pulled Bai Jian's hand, asking her to hug him - and Bai Jian was also very easy-going, and simply bowed to let Long Zi climb on her shoulders, letting her sit on his shoulders Over the shoulder to see the aquarium.

"It's so beautiful, so beautiful!" Longzi held Baijian's hand, and looked up at the ocean tunnel made of aquariums. All kinds of fish were swimming above their heads. , looks stunning.

"It's really beautiful." Bai Jian carefully supported Long Zi, looked up at the colorful fish swimming in groups, and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth—she had never been In a place like the aquarium, she used to think that the aquarium could only look at fish and it was too boring, but it turned out not to be like this.

Listening to the melodious music played in the aquarium, looking at the blue aquariums, almost all of them are colorful marine life, watching them move slowly in the water with a carefree attitude, indeed It is relaxing.

And Hong picked up Long Tai and followed him, and calmly looked at Bai Jian who was looking at the aquarium with admiration, watching her eyes that were dyed lavender by the blue light of the aquarium, and the ripples in her eyes. The floating gold and jumping light projected on the face always felt that the atmosphere was so peaceful and beautiful that it was a bit unreal.

Standing beside her, a ridiculous idea suddenly appeared in Hong's heart——

Unexpectedly, the kindergarden classmate he didn't like very much before became the elementary school classmate who impressed him the most... And now, he even became his high school junior, and... the two of them would actually take their two friends with them on the rest day. A child is visiting the aquarium.

Thinking of this, a matter that he cared about until now flashed away from his mind, and drove him to speak again: "Baijian."

"Huh?" Bai Jian withdrew her gaze from the aquarium, and turned her smiling gaze to Hong, she smiled at him, her cheeks flushed with excitement: "What's wrong?"

"You're at the bus stop today, do you have something to tell me?" Hong stared at the girl's face, knowing that she was excited about everything in the aquarium like twins, and felt that the corners of her lips curled up cutely.

"Ah. That." The happy expression on Bai Jian's face faded, she unconsciously reached out to stabilize the dragon riding on her shoulders, and lowered her eyes to explain: "This morning, I want to apologize of."

"Apologize?" Hong was taken aback for a while, this statement was a bit sudden, he couldn't quite keep up with Bai Jian's train of thought.

"Before, after you accompanied me to find An Qiu, didn't you want An Qiu to give me an explanation... At that time, I treated you badly, and I regret it so far." Bai Jian took back the fish that was placed in the sky Then he turned his eyes calmly to the exit of the corridor.

"Obviously Xiao Jiaodong is just worried about me, but I talk to you in such a bad manner, I'm so sorry." Bai Jian smiled helplessly, and didn't know if it was caused by the changing blue light of the aquarium at that time or what , her eyes looked a little moist.

And Hong looked down at Baijian from a high position, shook his head again, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up: "...I didn't take it to heart. After that, I thought about it seriously, and I think your judgment at that time was right."

"Really?" Bai Jian was a little astonished, and then stuck out his tongue mischievously: "I saw that Xiao Jiao Dong hadn't talked to me, so I thought you were angry."

"No, it's better to say..." Hong opened his mouth, then closed his mouth because he didn't know how to express it, and looked at her with troubled eyes: "In short, I am also very sorry for what happened that day."

And Bai Jian looked at Hong's serious and bewildered expression, and laughed: "Stop talking, apologizing will be endless...Since you don't care, let's make up!"

Bai Jian smiled gradually, and her petite figure stood in front of the colorful aquarium. The faint blue light covered her with a halo, which set off her cheerful smile very nicely.

He pursed his lips and looked at her, then nodded again.

And Baijian didn't waste any time after that, he hugged Longzi and walked towards the exit of the tunnel—and Hong hugged Longtai to keep up, and looked at Baijian's back in a daze.

In fact, what he couldn't say to her just now was "It's better to say that he is angry with himself".

That day, he, Bakugo and Shirama found Asakura, and he couldn't wait for Asakura to give them an explanation on the spot, so he used a particularly anxious and frustrated tone—and at that time, he had been blocking It was Bai Jian who said the harsh words.

What he was concerned about at the time was Asakura's responsibility for that matter. He thought that Bai Jian's desperate search for her meant that she didn't know the responsibility Asakura had to bear, so he also severely criticized Bai Jian .

But then he went back and thought about it carefully, only to realize that at that moment, Shiroma, who seemed to be most biased towards Asakura, was the one who knew the "responsibility" he was concerned about the most.

It is impossible for him to want to know about his friend more than Bai Jian. In Bai Jian's heart, he must be very eager to know what happened to Asakura-but even if Bai Jian is so curious about what happened to Asakura, at that juncture However, she was still able to start from Asakura's point of view and think for her, and did not force Asakura to confess at that juncture.

She didn't cover up about Asakura - she just wanted to trust her with all her might.

And the evidence is that after that, Shiratma did not delay any investigation from the school, she was so sensible and cooperative in accepting the school's investigation, but she was also doing her best to support Asakura who fell into a coma, Bai Jian is always so considerate and careful, and even more so to trust a person with all his heart and soul. He really appreciates her "correctness" and "doing her best".

Therefore, compared with the white room at dusk that day, Hong felt that the self who questioned the exhausted Asakura was still not qualified at all as a person who aspired to become a hero and become stronger—even, let alone saving others, he His "heart" may even make him hurt others unconsciously.

It's just that his self-esteem prevented him from admitting his mistakes right away, so after helping to deal with the Asakura incident, he deliberately didn't talk to Bai Jian—just to reflect on his own way of doing things all the time.

Even though he is powerful in strength, he is far inferior to Bai Jian's "heart".

In this way, he still has all kinds of immaturities in dealing with things, and it is also because of this that he is ashamed to talk nonchalantly between dialogues, and has to hide himself.

And it was also during the time when he hid himself, he discovered again—how much he wished to be discovered by Bai Jian about his inner entanglements and annoyances, and at the same time, how much he wished to meet her and talk about his troubles.

So when he learned that Bai Jian was going to ask him out, he was actually ecstatic.

If so, after he had made so many mental preparations, he was surprised to be able to get an apology from the girl—after all, he was the one who had a bad attitude that day.

Looking down at the side face of Bai Jian who patiently took care of Long Zi, he sighed helplessly: "...I really lost to her."

Why does everything in the white room look so "correct" and dazzling?

So, if you want to talk about Hong's initial feelings for Bai Jian-compared with "love" and "like", it is more "admiration".

I want to be someone like her, and I also like her strong heart.

Hong looked at her softly, and couldn't help but approach her—for some reason, he wanted to convey this feeling to her right now.

"...Hi, Shirama."

He called her name seriously.

He wanted to tell her what he wanted.
