Chapter 169 Misunderstanding
The journey from Tokyo to Nagano Prefecture is very long, more than 200 kilometers, and it takes more than two hours even if you drive on the highway.
Before leaving the city, you have to wait for traffic lights on the highway.
While waiting, because the date finally arrived, he also looked at the task again.
Dating task: [Outdoor sketching trip with Ninomiya Chizuru]
Task goal: [Travel alone with her, go to a place at least 150 kilometers away from Tokyo for outdoor sketching] [Use her as a model and draw a portrait for her] [Sit by the river or soak your feet by the stream with her] [Make her shy three times]
Task deadline: 240 hours.
Dating funds: entry-level painting skills, entry-level cooking-Japanese food, entry-level cooking-Western food. (Experience card)
Task rewards: entry-level painting skills, entry-level cooking-Japanese food, entry-level cooking-Western food. (Permanent)
After reading the task goal, Kurosawa Hikaru glanced at Ninomiya Chizuru on the co-pilot with his peripheral vision, and his mind became active.
The first mission goal is very simple. Just drive for two hours to reach Nagano Prefecture, and then you can find a place to complete it.
The second mission is not difficult either, because there are painting skills, and there is no requirement for high-scoring paintings, just simple portraits.
But the third and fourth missions are a bit difficult.
"Would you like to soak your feet together?"
Kurosawa Hikaru glanced at her beautiful legs wrapped in thin black silk under her skirt with his peripheral vision, and pondered secretly.
Soaking feet together by the river was originally a very simple mission in his opinion.
Because it is a hot summer now, he directly chose the sketching location by the river, and after she finished being a model, he would take the initiative to soak his feet and invite her directly.
But the problem is that she did not play by the routine. She did not go bare-legged like she did last time when she went to the amusement park, but wore stockings instead.
In this case, if you want her to soak her feet together, it means that she has to take off her stockings first.
To be honest, whether it is asking someone to wear stockings or taking off stockings, it is not an easy task.
How to make her take off her stockings and soak her feet together is a problem.
"She was shy three times... What should I do?"
This was originally a difficult problem. Kurosawa Hikaru had a headache again when he thought of the fourth task.
The psychological and emotional explanation of shyness is simple, that is, feeling embarrassed and ashamed.
Usually, people feel shy when they say something that they are too embarrassed to say, or do some special actions and behaviors in front of others.
Some people are thin-skinned and easily shy, but some people are thick-skinned and it is difficult to be shy.
Common shyness is talking in front of many people, confessing to the person you like, and wearing more revealing clothes.
In fact, he has experience in making people shy.
In the previous shooting date with Xiao Yuki, he successfully made Xiao Yuki shy three times.
But the problem is that his method at that time was quite extreme.
For example, he asked Xiao Yuki to keep lifting her skirt until she was about to be exposed.
For example, he asked Xiao Yuki to crawl on the sofa, lick the back of his hand, and learn to meow.
Another example is lying on the ground, holding the camera, and letting Xiao Yuji step on the camera from above.
At that time, he was able to complete the task thanks to his thick skin, so he could make such an outrageous request, and Xiao Yuji's cooperation was also very important, and she would do it obediently, and it was in a private hotel room.
But this time, they were going to sketch outdoors, and Miss Ninomiya could not be like Xiao Yuji, who would listen to his camera and do whatever he said.
Like lifting the skirt, learning to crawl like a cat, and stepping on him... As long as he said it, he would definitely be considered a pervert.
"Why do you look at me from time to time, but don't say anything?"
At this time, Ninomiya Chizuru took the initiative to speak.
From just now, she felt that Kurosawa Hikaru looked at her from time to time. After all, there were only two people in the car, and they were both sitting in the front seat.
However, Kurosawa Hikaru didn't know what was going on, and he didn't say anything. I don't know what he was thinking. She waited for a while and couldn't help it.
"No, I was looking at the rearview mirror."
When Kurosawa Hikaru heard this, he was stunned and immediately thought of a reason.
He didn't want to lie, but he couldn't say the real reason.
After all, he couldn't say "I looked at your legs because I was thinking about how to make you take off your stockings later, and I looked at your face because I was thinking about how to make you shy three times", right?
"Look at the rearview mirror?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was stunned when she heard this, turned her head and looked at the rearview mirror outside the car window, and was stunned for a moment.
"So he was not looking at me, but at the rearview mirror?"
The next moment, she lowered her head and shouted in her heart, realizing that she had misunderstood, her face suddenly became hot, and she was ashamed.
She was too self-indulgent. People who drive do need to look at the rearview mirror from time to time for normal driving.
At the same time, the system's voice sounded in Kurosawa Hikaru's mind:
"Task progress update, make her shy, 1/3."
The system is very smart, sometimes prompting him with text, sometimes with sound.
For example, when he doesn't need to focus on something with his eyes, he uses text.
When he is driving like now, distraction can easily cause an accident, so he just uses sound.
"Is this all right?"
Hearing this sentence, Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that he could complete the task with just a random joke.
From this point of view, it is not that difficult to make her shy three times.
Thinking about it carefully, he just fell into a misunderstanding and got into trouble.
In fact, everyone's face and embarrassment are different.
For example, Xiao Yuki was doing a photo shoot in the hotel that day. She didn't take off her makeup after the shooting. Even if she was wearing that pair of ponytails, a big anime T-shirt, and furry slippers, she dared to walk down the street or even go home.
But if it were Miss Ninomiya, let alone letting her go out on the street, she would probably refuse to wear it because it would be too shameful.
"I really think too much." Realizing that she was easily shy, Kurosawa Hikaru immediately felt relieved.
"Sorry, I thought you were looking at me,"
At this moment, Ninomiya Chizuru, after feeling unbearable with shame, apologized for her pretentiousness just now.
People were driving seriously, but she was an idle person, but she would get the wrong idea.
"It doesn't matter. Are you hungry? Let's eat something first?"
Kurosawa Hikaru saw that her beautiful face was slightly reddened, and she looked so cute. It was very pleasing to the eye, and at the same time he chose to change the topic.
Although I felt a little sorry for her, because she didn't get it wrong at all, he was indeed looking at her.
But it was hard to admit it. After all, if he admitted it, it would be really hard to explain if Miss Ninomiya asked him what he was thinking.
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
Ninomiya Chizuru also took advantage of the stairs to go down, not wanting to dwell on the incident just now.
"Rice balls?"
Kurosawa Hikaru didn't expect that she would ask this, so he was stunned for a moment and then said.
"Then you can stop at a convenience store later and I'll buy it."
Chizuru Ninomiya is very active in giving money.
There was no particular reason, not because of the money, but she felt that she was older and Kurosawa was still a student.
"No need to buy it, just open the storage box in front of you and take a look."
Sensing her intention, Kurosawa Hikaru stopped at the next traffic light and said.
Hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru followed suit and reached out to open it.
There was a lunch box and two bottles of water in the storage box. I took out the lunch box and opened it. There were twelve small rice balls the size of eggs inside.
"Did you buy it on the way to pick me up?"
Ninomiya Chizuru found the food and poked one of them with her finger. When she found that it was still hot, she asked.
"I didn't buy it, I made it." Kurosawa shook his head slightly.
"Did you make rice balls?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was surprised and looked down again.
"Do you dare to eat the rice balls I made?" Kurosawa Hikaru joked.
"Why don't you dare?"
When Ninomiya Chizuru heard this, she reached out and picked it up. It felt quite warm, probably because the lunch box was insulated.
However, she didn't stuff it into her mouth, but looked at him.
Isn’t it bad to eat first while he is still driving?
"You go ahead and eat, I'll wait until the next traffic light to eat."
Sensing her concerns, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled.
"good."
After hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru thought for a moment and realized that it would be rude to be so coy, so she simply nodded.
Her eating movements were very graceful. She held it with one hand, brought the other hand to her mouth, and took a bite.
The texture of the seaweed is very crispy, and it tastes good when wrapped in rice, followed by a sour taste.
"Plum rice balls?"
Ninomiya Chizuru's eyes lit up, she thought it was delicious, and she also discovered the true identity of this rice ball.
"How about it?"
Seeing the surprised look in her eyes, Kurosawa smiled.
Being able to see her dazzling reaction and getting up at 6:30 to get ready was worth it.
"It's delicious...better than the ones in convenience stores."
Ninomiya Chizuru was not stingy with compliments in this regard, because the first compliment was a bit monotonous and supplementary.
In fact, although she looks very cold, it does not mean that she talks little. On the contrary, she is very talkative.
After all, as a teacher, you must be able to speak well, otherwise how can you teach people in class.
It's just that her personality is relatively reserved and she is not good at expressing her emotions and true thoughts, and there is usually no need to do so.
But this time, she couldn't help showing her surprise.
Because this rice ball is super delicious! It can be said to be the best rice ball she has ever eaten.
The most important thing is that he remembered the flavor of the rice balls he ate last time. Although she didn't say it at the time, he still noticed it.
"That's good."
Kurosawa Hikaru saw that she liked it very much and nodded with satisfaction.
"I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good."
Ninomiya Chizuru couldn't help but take another bite. After chewing it carefully, she sighed.
"Is it good to just make rice balls?"
"If you can make rice balls so delicious, you can make other things as well."
"Dudu——!" At this moment, a fierce horn sound came from behind.
When Kurosawa heard the sound, he looked up and realized that the time for the traffic light had passed, so he drove quickly.
