Chapter 709 The moonlight is so beautiful, and the wind is so gentle
"Ok?"
Five minutes later, Hanyu Kusunoki asked in a low voice.
"...buttons..." Hibiki's voice was filled with shame and annoyance, "Buttoned the wrong button..."
Hanyu Kusunoki had no choice but to open his eyes a little.
The scene before him made his breath stop - Kisaki Eri was grabbing the front of her shirt in embarrassment. Because she buttoned it in the wrong order, the clothes were crooked and one of her snow-white shoulders was exposed without reservation.
Seeing him open his eyes, she turned around immediately, but forgot that the storage room was narrow, and her back was directly pressed against his chest.
The two of them froze at the same time.
"I...I can do it myself..."
Hibiki Eri's hands were shaking so badly that she buttoned the wrong button for the third time.
Hanyu Nan sighed and gently slapped her hand away: "Excuse me."
Her slender fingers deftly unbuttoned the misplaced buttons, and she deliberately avoided touching the skin in the process, trying her best to maintain proper propriety, but when tying the belt, she "accidentally" wrapped it two more times.
When he tightened the belt, Kisaki Eri was pushed back by the force, her back completely pressed against his chest, and their bodies were tightly pressed together.
"You..." The tips of Kisaragi's ears turned red as if blood was dripping.
"Sorry, my hand slipped." Hanyu Kusunoki looked righteous, pretending not to notice their bodies pressed tightly together. In fact, he could even feel her accelerated heartbeat through the fabric.
The narrow storage room fell silent for a moment.
The two of them just stood there motionless, as if frozen in this ambiguous moment.
"Xiao Nan."
After a long time, Hibiki Eri suddenly spoke, her voice returning to its usual calmness, but with a barely perceptible tremor at the end of her voice, "What happened just now..."
"It was an accident." Hanyu Kusunoki quickly replied, and his fingers nimbly helped her adjust her collar. "It was a pure accident."
Hibiki Eri turned around, her eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses had regained their sharpness. She gently pushed the frame of her glasses, and this action helped her regain her aura in the courtroom: "That cookie..."
"Sonoko did it." Hanyu Kusunoki smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "We don't know how we were let in."
As he spoke, he thought of something and his face looked strange.
He said that when he came in the afternoon and was preparing snacks at home, Sonoko suddenly gave him an ambiguous look. Love was waiting here!
Only a young lady like Yuanzi, who loves to watch the fun and enjoy the trouble, could do such a thing.
However, you are cheating your best sister's mother like this.
Is it really okay?
Hibiki Eri took a deep breath and gently smoothed the last wrinkle on her shirt with her slender fingers: "I'll keep this kind of snack in the future..."
"It will never happen again." Hanyu Kusunoki solemnly promised, "I will personally check the effect of each dessert."
The two looked at each other, and the corners of Hibiki's tightly clenched lips finally relaxed, revealing a helpless smile: "It seems that I need to re-evaluate the risk of accepting your snacks."
Hanyu Kusunoki watched her put on the mask of "Queen of Law" again, but noticed that the tips of her ears were still faintly pink.
He suddenly felt that this kind of Kisaki Eri was particularly charming - the way she switched between professionalism and panic was more real than ever.
"Mother-in-law." He called softly, deliberately using this name to shorten the distance, "About what happened just now..."
"Don't mention it again." Hibiki Eri interrupted him, her voice returning to its usual calmness, "Just pretend nothing happened."
As she spoke, she reached out to push open the door of the storage room, but Hanyu Kusunoki gently held her wrist.
"But I want to remember." Hanyu Kusunoki's voice was low and sincere, as if it flowed slowly from the depths of his heart, "It's not that accident, but besides 月が绮麗ですね (the moonlight is so beautiful), in fact, the wind is also very gentle."
Kisaki Eri paused.
She turned her head to look at the young man who was almost at eye level with her, and the look behind her glasses was complicated and difficult to read.
After a long while, she sighed softly, her voice was gentle but seemed to carry thousands of words: "Xiao Nan, you always know what to say."
"This is the truth." Hanyu Nan let go of her wrist and took a step back to distance himself. "You are Xiaolan's mother, and someone I respect."
This sentence is like a double-edged sword, which not only expresses the position but also implies deeper emotions.
Fei Yingli was so smart that she naturally heard the hidden meaning. Her fingertips unconsciously stroked the cuffs of her sleeves, and finally she just said lightly: "Let's go out, Xiaolan should be worried."
Now is not the time.
At least it's not the time yet until she finds a way to avoid hurting Xiaolan.
When the door of the storage room opened again, the two had restored the proper distance between elders and juniors.
Xiaolan was pacing anxiously outside the door. When she saw them, she immediately rushed over and said, "Mom! Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Kisaki Eri gently stroked her daughter's hair, but her eyes accidentally met Hanyu Kusunoki's. "It's just a small accident, don't take it to heart, but next time I won't dare to eat your snacks casually."
"Hey hey hey..."
Xiaolan laughed embarrassedly.
Hanyu Kusunoki stood aside, looking at the scene of the mother and daughter hugging each other, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
Kisaki Eri noticed his gaze, turned her head slightly, and gave him a warning look - that look clearly said "this matter ends here."
But some things, once they happen, can never really be "over".
It was like a subtle ripple, creating waves in the hearts of the three people and quietly changing some things.
..........
..........
When I came out of the office, it was already evening.
Hanyu Kusunoki and Xiaolan walked side by side on the way back, but the atmosphere between them was a little subtle.
Xiaolan turned her head to look at Hanyu Kusunoki from time to time, frowning slightly.
Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly stopped and reached out to gently grab Hanyu Kusunoki's sleeve, "Kushu..."
Hanyu Kusunoki looked down at the girl beside him: "What's wrong?"
Xiaolan narrowed her eyes, with a scrutinizing look in her eyes: "You were in the storage room with your mother just now... Were you really just changing clothes?"
Hanyu Kusunoki's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he showed a helpless expression: "What else can we do in a storage room full of files?"
"But..." Xiaolan bit her lower lip, leaving a row of shallow teeth marks on her pink lips, looking particularly delicate and a little tangled, "When you came out, the atmosphere was weird."
Hanyu Nan tapped Xiaolan's forehead gently: "Silly girl, anyone who goes through that kind of embarrassing situation would feel very strange, right? Your mother almost... uh..."
He stopped talking at the right time, with just the right amount of embarrassment on his face.
