When she visited Yamada at his home, the duo spent some time together alone. Although he is incredibly happy to have her there, Nishi is visibly nervous about showing affection. Even when Nishi got some personal time with him, being physically closer made her feel embarrassed. But the second they were at the bus stop, she had a rush of emotions and acted on them by giving him a kiss.

This definitely was a bold move, but it shows us how much character development Nishi had. Initially, she looked to be more hesitant about showing affection. But this particular kiss that took place in You and I Are Polar Opposites Season 2 Episode 8 is proof of how much she has grown as a person.
