Chapter 2406

~7 min read 1,377 words

New York Central Park.

Ito Yuhiko and Tanaka Koichi, wearing short-sleeved sportswear and shorts, walked briskly on the park trail wearing masks.

The two started at a walking speed, but after walking a few steps, they unconsciously walked faster and faster, and finally, it was like race walking, leaving Ye Chen and Nanako behind.

Nanako, wearing a kimono, ignored the surprised looks of passersby and walked beside Ye Chen unhurriedly. Looking at the backs of her father and Tanaka, she smiled and said: "Ye Chen-kun, Otousan and Tanaka-san seem to be competing."

"Really?" Seeing the two walking further and further away, Ye Chen couldn't help but be amused: "Are they competing to see who walks faster?"

"I guess so." Ito Nanako pursed her lips and smiled, saying: "Look at Otousan, he can't wait to jump with every step."

As she spoke, she tried a few steps on the spot. Each time, she stepped out with one leg first, and then took advantage of the momentum to jump slightly after taking a step, so there was a cheerful rhythm of jumping with every step.

Looking at her figure, Ye Chen couldn't help but tease: "We call this way of walking 'bouncing'."

Ito Nanako turned around and asked Ye Chen curiously: "Is it the 'bouncing' from 'can't bounce for long'?"

Ye Chen laughed: "Yes, but what you said is a bit ominous."

Ito Nanako stuck out her tongue and smiled brightly, saying: "Being with Ye Chen-kun, every time there is good luck, it won't be ominous."

As she spoke, she asked Ye Chen: "By the way, Ye Chen-kun, every time you see me, you have to help me or my family solve problems in various ways. Will you feel annoyed..."

Ye Chen smiled: "How could that be? Why do you ask?"

Ito Nanako said seriously: "It's just that every time I need your help, and you help a lot, I feel very embarrassed myself..."

Ye Chen looked at her and smiled: "No need to be embarrassed, after all, I took the initiative to find you every time I helped."

Ito Nanako was stunned, then smiled beautifully, tilted her head and said: "It seems to be true... The first time you saved me was at home in Kyoto, it was snowing that day."

As she spoke, Ito Nanako stopped, looked up at the leaves blown by the breeze, then turned back to look at Ye Chen, and asked him: "Ye Chen-kun, do I look good?"

Ye Chen answered without hesitation: "Of course you look good."

Ito Nanako asked again: "Will I look a bit out of place wearing this in a place like this?"

Ye Chen thought for a while and smiled: "Out of place is not the word, but it's a bit of a mix-and-match."

Ito Nanako nodded and smiled: "Actually, I have rarely worn a kimono out, and there is only one situation where I would wear a kimono out..."

Ye Chen asked her curiously: "What exactly is that situation?"

Ito Nanako blinked and smiled mysteriously, then she changed the subject and said with longing: "Ye Chen-kun, I have fantasized about four scenes of meeting you. Among them, the one I look forward to most is walking with you in the snow on a snowy night in Kyoto. Fortunately, this wish was realized last year."

Ye Chen asked again: "What about the other three?"

"The other three..." Ito Nanako admired the trees in the New York night and lamented: "The second one is to be able to walk with Ye Chen-kun under the cherry blossom trees while wearing a kimono when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Hirosaki Park. It's a pity that cherry blossoms bloom in March, or April at the latest, and it's already past..."

Ye Chen didn't know what was wrong with him, but he blurted out: "It doesn't matter, if you missed it this year, there's always next year."

After saying that, he realized he had said the wrong thing.

However, it was already too late to realize the mistake.

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Ito Nanako looked back at him excitedly, opened her eyes wide and asked: "Ye Chen-kun! Are you really willing to accompany me to see cherry blossoms next year?"

Seeing her expression of extreme anticipation, Ye Chen nodded subconsciously: "I am willing."

Ito Nanako was suddenly excited beyond measure, full of anticipation, and said: "Great! When the time comes, I will definitely take you to see the best cherry blossoms in all of Japan!"

Seeing that he had already said it, Ye Chen simply stopped hesitating and said straightforwardly: "Tell me the other two as well, I'll try to help you realize them together next year."

"Really?!" Ito Nanako's expression was suddenly so happy that it was about to melt. She subconsciously took Ye Chen's arm and said softly: "I also want to walk with Ye Chen-kun on the Shonan coast in midsummer, and then enjoy the autumn red leaves in Hokkaido with Ye Chen-kun..."

Ye Chen couldn't help but smile and ask her: "Winter snowy night, spring cherry blossoms, summer seaside, and autumn red leaves, right?"

"Yes!" Ito Nanako nodded heavily, staring at Ye Chen with her big eyes, and asked with extreme anticipation: "Ye Chen-kun, is that okay?"

Ye Chen asked her: "Why are they all places in Japan? Cherry blossoms, the seaside, and red leaves are all over China, and if you choose the right time and place, they might not be worse than the scenery in Japan."

"I know..." Ito Nanako said seriously: "The reason I thought of these places is not because I arrogantly think that cherry blossoms, the seaside, and red leaves are the best only in Japan... It's just that the heavy snow in Kyoto, the cherry blossoms in Hirosaki, the seaside in Shonan, and the red leaves in Hokkaido have all left a very deep impression on me. When I went to these places in the corresponding seasons and enjoyed these sceneries, I made a wish in my heart, hoping to revisit these sceneries with the person I love in the future... This is like a small wish and obsession in my heart..."

As she spoke, Ito Nanako hurriedly added: "But if Ye Chen-kun wants to take me to enjoy these beautiful sceneries in China, I have no opinion at all!"

Many women have confessed to Ye Chen, but Ito Nanako's confession always gives Ye Chen a different feeling.

Other people's confessions make Ye Chen subconsciously want to decline, or want to change the subject, but Ito Nanako's confession always makes him want to respond from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, when Ito Nanako said that she had made a wish to revisit these sceneries with the person she loved, Ye Chen couldn't find any reason to refuse.

So, he said very firmly: "It doesn't matter, since it's what you want in your heart, then everything will be as you want."

Hearing Ye Chen's answer, Ito Nanako was happy, and her eyes were a little moist.

She held Ye Chen's arm tightly and added: "By the way, Ye Chen-kun, I just said that I would only wear a kimono out in one situation, which is to wear a kimono to enjoy cherry blossoms when they are in full bloom. If you come to Japan next spring, I will wear this to accompany you to enjoy the cherry blossoms!"

Ye Chen nodded and smiled: "I have to declare in advance, I won't wear your traditional clothing then."

Ito Nanako smiled beautifully and said: "I understand. If I marry a Chinese person in the future, I won't let my husband wear our traditional clothing. Tradition is only about yourself, don't force it on others."

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and smiled again: "Actually, if I marry into China in the future, I would rather wear Chinese traditional clothing to get married! Ye Chen-kun, do you think I would look good in a Chinese Long Feng Gua or Xiuhe?"

Ye Chen nodded: "You will definitely look very good."

Ito Nanako remembered something and blurted out excitedly: "Then let's do this, Ye Chen-kun, come to Japan next spring, and I will wear a Xiuhe to accompany you to enjoy the cherry blossoms!"
