"I'm going to stay in Rikkong for a day or two."

The day after the final concert, Ye Zhao suddenly said this to Uemura Yuki.

"Nikko?" Umemura Yuki was a little unresponsive, "What are you going to Nikko for this season? You don't have to appreciate the maple leaves, and the mountains are very cold. Even if you want to see the ice waterfall, it's too early this season."

"Don't worry about this," Ye Zhao said in a vague tone. "Anyway, please help me book a room in advance. By the way, remember to use your name."

"Make an appointment with my name?" Umemura Yuki asked in a questionable tone, and immediately came to his senses, "Why don't you want to live with someone?"

"That's it." Ye Zhao laughed dryly, "Even if you don't say it, you can guess it."

"Then do I want to guess which one you are going to live with?" Umemura Yuki said this on purpose.

"Even if you guessed it, I will answer 'no'." Ye Zhao also deliberately kept him in a silence.

"Then ask the other way around. If you guess wrong, answer "bingo". If you guess wrong, then use your arm to make a gesture of 'X'."

“When it comes to ‘X’, I only think of X–JAPAN.”

"Please," Umemura Yuki lost, "At this time, don't play Gu Zuoyan's trick anymore."

"Sorry, sorry." Ye Zhao's apology was a bit sincere. However, this interruption could be regarded as a clear explanation of Yuki Uemura that he did not intend to tell him who that person was.

Since this is the case, Uemura Yuki was very sensible and did not ask any further. Instead, he asked in detail about the time he was about to leave, how many days he had to stay in the sun, whether there were any special requirements for his residence, etc., and then he went to do it quickly.

...

About a week after the above conversation took place, on the last Saturday of November, I had a simple lunch at a small restaurant near Asakusa. It was still Tobu Nikko at 11:30 pm. Ye Zhao, who had made some disguise, took Yuki Ei Nakama and took the train to Nikko.

If you want to talk about the benefits of the weather getting colder, even wearing a hat and a mask will not make people feel very strange. I don’t know if this counts. However, Ye Zhao was just so "fully armed" when he bought a ticket and entered the station for a while. When he got on the bus, he put away the mask and only wore a soft black octagonal hat. This is because he really liked this style of hat. There is definitely one thing he would leave for this in his expectations for winter every year.

If you are recognized by a fanatical fan and caught and not allowed to leave, it will not happen in general. It has nothing to do with whether it is red or black or black. Unless the ones standing within 300 meters in this area are your fanatical fans, otherwise, for most people, there is a star walking on the roadside, which is similar to the monkey in the zoo who suddenly "breaks out" and comes out to let go. It looks novel, but it is just a level of whistling when watching the excitement.

Even if it is a very popular star, the people walking on the street are not all idle, so they don’t have so much time to follow behind their butts and ask for autographs and take photos.

In this case, why do you have to spend a lot of effort to greet yourself as a big rice dumpling for Dragon Boat Festival (or red date stuffing)? The most important significance is of course to save trouble. Although most people will not stop you on the street, as long as you are lucky to meet a fanatical fan in a hundred people, you will have to add two more baskets of trouble.

...

Although it was Saturday, the carriage was empty, and Ye Shogh and Nakama Yukie's seats were close to each other, and the two people who were still not far or near at the platform were still at a distance. After getting in the car and sitting down, their hands naturally held each other.

At that time, in Saitama's small shrine, Ye Zhao once said, "I will return to Nikko's Nirvana Mountain Shrine to fulfill my wishes." After that, it was temporarily put on hold because of my busy schedule. When the movie came to an end, the concert ended successfully, and the original promise finally had time to fulfill it.

Grasping Nakama Yuki Hui's right hand and looking at the fine palm lines on her palm, Ye Zhao suddenly said, "It's so good."

"What's 'very good'?" Yuki Nakama looked up at him.

"Your palm."

"Eh?" Yuki Nakama was a little surprised, "Does Brother Ye Zhao still look at palmistry?"

"Well..." Ye Zhao turned his face and smiled at her. "Of course not. However, your palm lines are very clear and clean. Just looking at this makes you feel very comfortable. So I think it must be a good palm."

"It sounds like it's not reliable at all." Yuki Hui Nakama landed her gaze to her palm. After looking for a while, she also imitated Ye Zhao, held his left hand with both hands and looked at it.

"Did you see anything?" Ye Zhao teased her.

"Well... I can see a little." Yuki Nakama nodded.

"Is that true? Let's hear it."

Nakama Yuki Hui rubbed the fingertips of the index finger of her right hand, "That's right, there is a mole in the palm of her palm."

"You've known this a long time ago, right?" Ye Zhao withdrew his hand and rubbed her hair. She wrinkled her nose at him as if she was protesting that she was treated like this, but after the protest, she immediately hugged his arm and pressed her cheek against his upper arm.

...

About two hours later, they got off the bus at Tobu Nikko Station. They just stayed here for one night, so they only brought the minimum luggage. Even if there were any temporary things needed, they could buy them in Nikko.

On weekdays, the sun is sparsely populated, and in winter, the streets are even more deserted. Apart from locals, there are few pedestrians who look like tourists.

Taking a taxi at the station is still the winding mountain road. When I came to Nakazenji Lake, although I visited the old place again, the summer is still different from the Nakazenji Lake in winter. The lake is still quiet, but it is a little lonely. In early winter, the Huayan Waterfall has not yet formed an ice waterfall, but there is only the coolness, which is even more serious than when summer comes.

"It's so cold." As if he was replaying a certain video, standing in front of the observation deck below the waterfall, Yuki Nakama hugged his arms and shrank his neck.

But this time, when he heard her say this, Ye Zhao no longer replied indifferently, "Because it is too close to the waterfall, it is cold." Instead, he walked around her, hugged her in his arms, lowered his head, pressed her cheek against her cheek, and asked softly: "Is this better?"

Standing in front of the waterfall, the two people's faces were cold and icy by the waterfall splashing, but after getting close to each other, they warmed each other and gradually became warm.

"...Hmm." Yuki Nakama put the center of gravity of his body back with confidence and leaned into his arms.

The hotel that Uemura Yuki booked for them was the one I stayed in when I came to Nikko last time, but it didn't even have the same location in the room. This time, the one who took them over was a waitress in a yukata who showed her professional spirit and had no interest in the identity and relationship of the two people who walked together.

The sun sets early in winter. When they arrived at the room and looked out from the window facing the Nakazenji Lake in the living room, the wide lake of Nakazenji Lake was covered with a layer of red.

"Even if I have been here once, it's still very beautiful, right?" Ye Zhao asked when the waitress left and there were only two people left in the room.

"It's incredible." Yuki Ei Nakama looked out the window, "It seems that as the seasons change, even the scenery has been changed."

"Although it's a little bit of a lyrical article for elementary school students, 'Nature is so magical'." Ye Zhao smiled, "What you see in different seasons, different weather, and different times."

In addition to the differences we saw, we felt differently. Last time we came here it was summer. Although we ran to the hot spring bath for a while, we just experienced it because it was inappropriate and did not enjoy the fun of bathing in the hot springs. This time, they were finally able to take a good bath in this hot spring town.

"Go and change your yukata first?" Ye Zhao sat on the tatami without moving.

Yuki Nakama nodded, stood up, pushed open the paper sliding door in the bedroom, and slowly closed the door. The bad intentions of pranks always came out when they were bored. Ye Zhao moved to the paper sliding door leading to the bedroom, "Xiaohui?"

"Nani?" The girl's careless voice came from the other end.

"I'm going in~" Ye Zhao deliberately extended the ending of the last word and greeted her like this. While hearing the exclamation of "Hey?!" from inside, he pushed the paper door open.

Yuki Nakama, who was only a little bit away from returning to his true self, looked at Ye Zhao outside the door with a slightly panic look, and was "suddenly attacked". She stayed in place a little at a loss, not even knowing where to put her hands.

The air was broken by Ye Zhao after a short period of time. He slowly looked down from her face, and suddenly said "ah" and said without a smile: "It's Mickey Mouse."

"..." The girl's face suddenly turned red as if the pink mouse had just been caught from the hot spring bath.

The interesting reaction made Ye Zhao laugh out loud, but he knew how to stop when he saw it, and did not continue to make trouble for her. "You keep going." After that, he closed the door again.

After the sliding door was opened again, Yuki Yuki appeared in front of Ye Zhao, who was slightly disgusted. She had already changed into a bathrobe, and she looked upward from the neckline, revealing her neck full of girlish aura.

"That...I'll go first."

Seeing her look like this, Ye Zhao couldn't bear to tease her on purpose anymore, and greeted her, "Then let's see you again at dinner?"

"Well, goodbye." Yuki Nakama nodded slightly and left the room first. Ye Zhao also got up from the tatami, went into the bedroom to change his bathrobe, and did not need the hotel to lead the way. He walked towards the male bathrobe with his memory after two years. It was almost the same as when he came last time, and the large bathrobe was empty. This time, he could finally soak in it for a while.

After taking the hot springs, I returned to my room. After a while, Yuki Nakama came back.

"How is it very comfortable, right?" Ye Zhao pushed the seat cushion backwards and pushed it towards her.

Yuki Ei Nakama sat down, "It felt very comfortable. So I almost got dizzy when I was soaking."

"You can't soak in the hot spring for too long." Ye Zhao seemed to be laughing at her childishness.

...

Dinner was delivered directly to the room, and the soup in the casserole was chubby, with beef, crab meat, tofu, vegetables and fungi. After winter, it was a happy thing to eat hot pot together. Moreover, hot pot is born with a special meaning, and only when people with good relationships eat it together can it be more delicious.

When eating with minors, Ye Zhao was very conscious of not touching wine and was preparing to drink tea honestly. However, the person who wanted to touch this taboo was Yuki Nakama.

The fact that the two of them went out to travel alone seemed to have some special significance, or because they were in a strange situation, some thoughts that they had never had when they were in Tokyo also emerged quietly.

"I want to have a little wine, can I?" she suddenly said while having dinner.

Ye Zhao reminded: "Drinking alcohol for minors is prohibited."

"Is it not possible at all?" Yuki Nakama raised his eyes and carefully observed his reaction, "I was just a little curious about what it feels like to drink. Anyway, it shouldn't matter if only Brother Ye Zhao is there, right?"

"Well..." Ye Zhao thought about it. In fact, in his heart, as long as he was over fifteen years old, drinking a little wine in moderation is not a big deal. Although this is a country where underage drinking is illegal, it is okay to do it in private. Thinking of this, he nodded, "I can only taste a little."

"Yes!" The girl's eyes became bright.

Ye Zhao got up and opened the refrigerator. There were all kinds of sake, whiskey, beer, etc. He took two cans of beer, wiped the can with a tissue, opened the pull ring, poured a glass for her, and then filled himself, "Please."

"Cheers!" The two of them touched the cups slightly.

Yuki Nakama first drank a little, "It's quite delicious..." As he said this, he drank all the beer in the cup in one go.

"How do you feel?" Ye Zhao finished drinking a cup and filled his cup again.

"Well... I don't seem to feel anything." Yuki Yuki Nakama showed a flattering smile, "Brother Ye Zhao, can you have another drink?"

"That won't work. If you get drunk, it will be troublesome." Ye Zhao's attitude was firm.

"Okay." She didn't bother her and put the cup next to her honestly.
