Chapter 133

Loud music filled my ears, but a cool breeze blew against my skin, carrying away the summer's heat.

In this profoundly quiet moment, Ishikawa Hayato reached out his hand to Kita from the table, and Kita silently reciprocated by extending his hand as well.

In the stage lights, on the table, a large, thick hand and a small, pale hand are intertwined.

Kita looked at Ishikawa Hayato's hand with a slight smile, feeling the thickness and warmth of his palm.

She slowly looked up at Ishikawa Hayato, and seeing his smile, she was lost in thought for a moment before suddenly snapping out of it.

Wait, wait! This atmosphere is strange, are we going to kiss next!?

Kita blushed instantly and covered his mouth with the back of his hand.

It wasn't that she was unwilling, but she had decided from the beginning that nothing could be done after the hug.

She could still justify to herself that she would date Ishikawa Hayato for a while before he started dating someone else.

But if she did what happened afterward, she would never be able to forgive herself.

Ishikawa Hayato smiled at her flustered and adorable appearance.

He raised his index finger and thumb, forming a checkmark, and rested it on his chin, asking her proudly.

"Am I handsome?"

"Puff."

Kita, momentarily worried that her reaction might be too strong and Kita him, laughed at his shameless appearance.

"Yes, Hayato-kun very handsome."

She smiled sweetly and agreed.

"The reaction was too flat. It shouldn't have been a sudden 'Wow!' followed by 'Handsome guy! I love him!'"

Ishikawa Hayato looked down on her reaction.

"Who would do that!" Kita retorted angrily.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but recall how she looked when she first met Ryo-senpai, and then she saw Ishikawa Hayato's sly smile, and suddenly she felt guilty.

She changed the subject, looking at the brightly lit stage of the venue.

"The band on stage performed really well."

"Ours is better."

Ishikawa Hayato spoke calmly, as if it were an undeniable affirmation.

Kita moment, but after seeing his expression, he quickly calmed down.

"Hayato-kun say, then I'll believe you."

After resting enough, the two held hands and looked for some relaxing entertainment in the water park.

Soon, the two spotted the water rafting, an activity where people ride in inflatable tubes or small rowboats around the park.

A very gentle and relaxing amusement ride.

After reaching an agreement, the two headed to the starting point, but soon could not reach a consensus.

Ishikawa Hayato placed the two-seater inflatable ring in the water and, while holding onto it, said...

"Kita, please~!"

Xiduo was about to sit down with Kita joy, but when he looked back, he saw that the two air chambers were very close together, meaning that once he sat down, the person in front would almost be leaning against the person behind him.

However, sitting up straight can prevent too much physical contact, but...

She glanced at the smiling Ishikawa Hayato, still feeling uneasy. To be honest, she could barely accept the idea of him leaning against her.

That's all, but this person is definitely not honest!

"Hayato-kun, let's switch to a rowboat," she suggested with a smile.

"Don't want!"

Like a child, Ishikawa Hayato tossed his head away, turning it to the side, and immediately denied it.

"Then it's a promise that you can't touch me."

Kita mastered the communication secret: if you want to open a window, you must first break down the wall.

"No!"

Ishikawa Hayato denied it again, resorting to shamelessness.

"I just want to hug Kita. I want to hug Kita no matter what. I made a request at noon, so I'll use it here. Just let me..."

Kita overwhelmed by the pestering and incredibly embarrassed, so he quickly stepped forward and pressed down on Ishikawa Hayato's mouth, which was about to utter countless more "hugs."

"I know! Don't say it so many times!"

It felt like the whole world went quiet after Ishikawa Hayato shut his mouth. Kita lowered his head, smiled, and breathed a sigh of relief before sitting down on the air pod.

"You can only hug me, I won't forgive you if you touch me inappropriately."

She turned back and gave Ishikawa Hayato some instructions.

Ishikawa Hayato raised both hands and clenched them into fists with a serious expression.

"Now my hands are just like Doraemon's hands."

Kita suppressed a laugh and looked ahead. She saw a young couple not far away, sitting in the same inflatable ring as them, embracing openly.

She felt somewhat relieved.

Even with his fists clenched, Ishikawa Hayato quickly climbed onto the air bladder and sat down.

Soon, the out-of-control air ring began to sway and drift forward with the waves.

Not long after leaving the starting point, Ishikawa Hayato looked at Kita's smooth, petite back and sensed her silence and preparedness. He slowly reached out and steadily pulled her back into his arms.

Kita suppressed her embarrassment and didn't resist. She just wondered to herself, were they seen as the same couple as before in other people's eyes?

As she thought about it, she relaxed a little and leaned back.

However, once she leaned against Ishikawa Hayato, against his chest, feeling his firm muscles, his slightly higher body temperature, and clearly realizing that she was in a man's arms, she shuddered as if she had been electrocuted.

For a moment, she thought she was going to be completely absorbed in it and never be able to get out.

She leaned forward hastily.

No, no!

Kita cried out Kita, splashing water to hide her embarrassment.

Watching Kita lean forward hastily, even kicking his little feet in the air in his panic, Ishikawa Hayato thought to himself.

My girlfriend is so cute.

He didn't care about Kita's resistance; he wasn't in a hurry, and seeing her adorable reaction made him feel like he'd hit the jackpot.

Kita sat there sullenly, her mind overloaded for a while before she turned to look at Ishikawa Hayato. Seeing his nonchalant expression, she breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, they had just made such a serious agreement, and she felt quite bad about breaking it herself.

At that moment, Ishikawa Hayato leaned forward slightly and slowly spoke to her.

"Then, can Doraemon hug you?"

As he spoke, he playfully waved Cheng Yuan's hand in front of Kita.

Suddenly, he felt that Kita's depressed mood had improved a lot. She hesitated for a while, as if to make sure that she would not embarrass herself again, and then she said in a cheerful and smiling voice.

"Since it's Doraemon's, there's nothing we can do about it."

Ishikawa Hayato happily wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin lightly on her shoulder as he leaned against her.

A moment later, Kita chuckled and shrugged his shoulders.

"It's so itchy!"

As she complained, Ishikawa Hayato's eyes lit up, and he pointed ahead and shouted.

"Kita, look over there!"

"Huh? Ugh! Ptooey! The water's all over my face!"

"Hahaha."

Ishikawa Hayato laughed, then his arm was slapped hard, making a loud, painful sound.

After swimming around, the two strolled along the poolside. While Kita was still wondering what to do next, Ishikawa Hayato glanced into the distance.

He said.

"Kita, it's time to go back."

Kita looked around and realized that the number of tourists had decreased, but there was still plenty of time before closing time, and she wanted to continue playing with Ishikawa Hayato.

"Hey, is there still time?"

But as soon as she finished speaking, she contradicted herself.

"Yes, that's true."

She said with a smile.

Soon, the two separated and changed their clothes in the men's and women's changing rooms, then met up at the entrance.

Men are much faster at changing clothes than women. Ishikawa Hayato finished changing early and was waiting by the door.

After a while, he finally saw Kita emerge from the women's changing room, carrying a handbag, holding Xidailu doll, and looking Kita.

But as soon as she stepped out of the dressing room, she snapped out of her daze upon seeing the different scenery outside. She looked around, saw Ishikawa Hayato, and smiled as she reached out to greet him.

She hurried over.

Ishikawa Hayato extended his hand, and she took it with a smile.

And so, the boy in front, carrying a crossbody bag, led the girl behind him, who was holding onto Xidailu's arm and had a bag hanging from her arm, towards the side of the Water World.

Soon, Kita also realized that something was wrong with the direction, and she asked.

"Hayato-kun, are we going to...?"

You'll see when you get there.

Upon reaching the foot of the towering Ferris wheel, Kita turned her gaze away from the slowly moving wheel and smiled at Ishikawa Hayato.

"Hayato-kun, you're surprisingly unsophisticated."

"Gulp..." Ishikawa Hayato clutched his chest as if he had been struck a heavy blow.

He wailed, "I just saw that there weren't many people on the Ferris wheel, and I was thinking I could ride it once before going home..."

He had checked beforehand and found that the Ferris wheel here is almost always full at night, with only a chance to ride it without waiting in line 40 minutes before closing time.

There's really nothing we can do.

Kita put on an arrogant air and walked to the workbench in front of him first.

Let's go.

She extended the invitation herself.

Without having to queue, the two quickly boarded the Ferris wheel. After the Ferris wheel rose slightly, Kita looked to the side Kita delight.

To their right, lights illuminated the azure pool, making every waterway and pool appear like a jewel.

The endless performance stage now appears as just a smaller and smaller square stage.

On the other side, amidst the sparse crowd, a parade of floats was making its last effort to move through the gradually quieting amusement park, while a grand theatrical performance was taking place on the park's main stage.

As the Ferris wheel rises higher, all that remains below is dazzling light.

Raise your gaze, and beneath the dark sky, the pitch-black mountains lie prostrate on the earth.

Kita looked away and saw Ishikawa Hayato smiling at her from across the room, a smile that seemed to say with a smug satisfaction, "See? My choice wasn't corny at all."

"That's pretty much the end of our date, Kita. How about we give each other a hug here at the highest point?"

Ishikawa Hayato stood up and said.

"That's very dangerous."
