People in Tokyo, the world is clear

"You must be running too fast, Ito. Your balance system hasn't adapted yet."

"Uncomfortable."

"Take it easy."

Lin Sen opened a bottle of juice that fell from the vending machine in the cabin and fed her a few gulps, which calmed down the little pet that had been restless since getting on board.

Then, he took out the rented camera from the backpack behind him and started to study how to play it.

Back then, digital cameras weren't very convenient or easy to use, so I bought some color film and rented an old-fashioned film camera at a digital store in Aomori.

Lin Sen didn't want to rent equipment after arriving in Hokkaido. The same items would be much more expensive at shops near Hokkaido's tourist attractions.

Although he was not short of money, he was unwilling to be ripped off like this.

After secretly admiring his cleverness, he raised his camera and pointed it at Miss Ito, who was frightened by his actions and covered her face with her arms.

"No, senior! I felt dizzy just now, and my face must look bad now." The girl resisted.

"What are you talking about? Ito, you look photogenic no matter what." Lin Sen persisted. "The light and shadows on the sea are beautiful right now. How about taking a few test shots first?"

"Wu~" the girl's hum was an emphasis on rejection. "Can you please go down to the cabin first? I need to go to the bathroom to tidy up."

"also."

Lin Sen had originally intended to comply with her request. Suddenly, a voice, eager to watch the fun, interrupted him:

"If you need a mirror, I have one right here. No need to go downstairs to look for it."

Then, a hand appeared in Lin Sen's field of vision and handed him a small round folding mirror.

Following the fabric of the black coat on his arm to the end, Lin Sen saw a smiling face with pouty lipstick-painted lips.

The neat short hair and the bangs on the forehead are dyed a little browner than before.

And the familiar iconic earrings——

After taking it all in, a feeling of surprise filled my heart.

"Ms. Aida?"

Tetsuko Aida, who was recognized, did not respond to the greeting.

He took just one step forward, put the mirror in the hand of the girl who was also staring at her blankly, turned around and leaned his back against the railing, his ambiguous eyes wandering between the two of them.

"I've arrested you again. So, you two are secretly hanging out together again?"

"I didn't seem to see Miss Aida when I got on the boat just now." Lin Sen has a good memory.

"Because I came by car. I entered through another entrance." Tetsuko Aida waved her hand.

"Self-driving tour? Coming from Tokyo?" Lin Sen asked.

"No. I have a local friend's private garage in Aomori. When I came to visit him, he gave me a Ford as a gift. I planned to go for a stroll in Hokkaido."

“It’s just amazing human connection.”

"Don't try to change the subject!"

Tetsuko Aida hooked her arms over the railing behind her, leaning forward. "So? What's the reason this time? Are we still out together as friends? Not on a date?"

"really."

"But, just now, I saw it." Tetsuko Aida turned her head to look at the girl who turned her head away to hide her blushing cheeks. "Ito lay in Kobayashi's arms, and drank the can of juice in your hand with a look of peace on his face. Is this something ordinary friends would do?"

"Of course. Ito is seasick, and we can't leave her lying on the railing feeling sick all by herself."

Lin Sen's calm answer successfully amused the beauty in front of him and made her eyes roll.

The next second, her expression suddenly changed, she looked uncomfortable, and her whole body staggered as if she was about to fall towards Lin Sen.

"Hiss... I'm a little seasick too. Xiaolin, can you help hold me for a while?"

"."

The old aunt has become a dramatic actress!

He was about to dodge away, but before he could do that, a pair of arms had already wrapped around his body.

Before he could make any move, he was moved away.

As expected, Tetsuko Aida missed the target. But she wasn't angry. Instead, she stood firm, grinning, her face full of the expression of "as expected."

"Oh oh oh~"

She put one hand on her waist and glanced at the petite girl huddled behind the young man, jostling for position with his backpack. "Are you jealous?"

"No!" The two people denied in unison.

"It's just that I know that you, senior, don't like contact with the opposite sex." Miss Ito's face was full of innocence and justice.

"Isn't Ito a girl?" Yayoi Aida tilted her head.

"I..."

The girl tried to explain, "I should be the special one."

"Oh~ What's so special about it?"

"I."

Miss Ito was speechless for a moment, obviously no match for the extroverted and eloquent Tetsuko Aida.

Lin Sen immediately interrupted:

"It seems Ms. Aida didn't bring her camera today."

"I just came out to relax. That's why I didn't bring any equipment." Tetsuko Aida knew that it was not good to continue teasing a girl who had already hidden her face behind Lin Sen, so she squinted her eyes and followed Lin Sen's technique of changing the subject.

Then, her eyes fell on the rented camera in Lin Sen's hand.

"However, if you need to take photos, I can help. In consideration of your cooperation, I won't charge a penny!"

"this."

Free labor delivered to your door?

I was a little confused about how to use the old camera in my hand and was worried that the photos would not be good.

As a result, before I even fell asleep, the pillow came to me.

So, if you don’t squeeze it, it’s a waste of time?

Lin Sen turned around and asked Miss Ito for her opinion.

The girl didn't seem to object. In fact, she quickly noticed the movement in Lin Sen's eyes. She lowered her head and looked in the mirror, straightening her hair, which had been tossed a little messily by the sea breeze.

Express default.

That's how the matter was settled.

So, the professional photographer condescended to serve a private individual and directed the two people to stand against the railing.

"It's very expensive to treat me. But I won't charge you this time."

He is indeed a master of public speaking, and is good at making things he proposed sound like he is doing a favor.

However, what Tetsuko Aida said was the truth.

Lin Sen had seen her photographs before. Although the layman couldn't see too deeply, he could still vaguely feel that they were well-taken.

I followed her instructions, moved along the corridor, and stood in the best-lit spot.

During the period, I also listened to her popular science photography techniques.

"The lighting was uneven in that spot just now. If you take a casual shot, the faces will be blurred by the interplay of sunlight and the reflection of the sea. You won't be able to capture your cutest looks. Remember this when you take photos next time!"

"understood."

"Speaking of which, there's a pose you'd like me to teach you...eh?"

Suddenly her eyes widened and Tetsuko Aida put down the camera.

Staring at the girl's small hand that took the initiative to reach into the young man's palm.

Then, he raised his eyes again, moving them between the two people.

It's really strange.

Obviously, every time they meet, they insist that they are not lovers, but they act more intimate than those lovers in love.

Tetsuko Aida glanced at the young man's face. He didn't seem surprised by the girl's action.

But when his eyes fell on the girl's face, he found a clue.

She...secretly glanced at his expression beside her, and after making sure that he was not resisting, she quietly retracted her gaze.

Then, there was a conversation between the two:

"Are you holding hands like this now?"

"Yes. Time for the photo shoot, right?"

"Too."

!

Photographers are always good at capturing fleeting details.

Slowly, the guesses that had been in my mind for a long time emerged again.

Speaking of which, when they first met, there was still a sense of distance between the couple. However, from the second to the third time, it was discovered that although the boy's attitude had not changed, he was increasingly acquiescing to the girl's approach.

This time, he didn't even resist her active request to hold hands——

If you look at it this way, it turns out that it was Little Ito who was secretly playing some covert strategy?

This child who always looks dull and shy and is passive in the relationship is actually the one who is truly dominant?

Unbelievable!

Of course, I still have a deep impression of Xiaolin. I'm sure of him. He's a very calm and sociable person.

Also, it seems like he's really attached to a female singer named Qingshan? For her career and future, she's even come to me for help...

That is to say-

Quickly, using the fragmentary information currently known, Tetsuko Aida pieced together a fictional story in her mind.

The Kobayashi in front of him already had someone in his heart. The only person he cared about was probably the female singer Aoyama.

And Ito has always been by his side, quietly completing the physical conquest step by step. From going on trips together, to promoting the female singer together, to becoming his close friend, and now, even holding hands quietly when they go out, he doesn't object.

Unknowingly, with the clever disguise of a girl who knows nothing, they erode each other's sense of boundaries bit by bit, and finally, without realizing it, they take it all away?

!

Is Ito, the girl who always looks silly, actually the most skilled hunter?

Even just now, I took advantage of my habit of always asking them to look a good match in front of the camera when I took pictures of them, and made this boy accept the action of holding hands?

Wow!

It was a wrong payment. It was a wrong payment.

I thought he was just a simple kid, but his level turned out to be surprisingly high?

Even though he was feeling this way in his heart, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

The gossipy spirit in Tetsuko Aida's heart suddenly burned.

It's my profession. Photographers love stories.

Although the authenticity of the plot she made up in her mind is questionable, Tetsuko Aida is somewhat fascinated by it.

Make sense.

If she were to choose as a busybody, she would certainly hope that these two children who look particularly well-matched in front of the camera would get together.

As for Qingshan... no matter whether she is Xiaolin's sweetheart or not, they have never met.

I stand on Ito's side!

Although he may be a bad kid, but I like this kind of badness!

Tetsuko Aida suddenly couldn't control herself.
