******

In a cave full of sunlight.

“…… Grandmaster Yunyue, I would like to ask you," Baicao mustered up his courage and made up his mind, "Listen to me tell a story......

Grandmaster Yunyue said with a calm expression:

"Today, I'm going to teach you taekwondo, not listen to your story."

"I—I'm willing to exchange!" Baicao stammered, his face flushed with nervousness, "You don't have to instruct me for a day, as long as you're willing to listen to me finish this story...... Sorry ......"

Grandmaster Yunyue stared at her.

The cave was so quiet, with tiny particles of ash swirling in thousands of rays of sunlight. Baicao became more and more nervous, she was wondering, would Grandmaster Yunyue be angry, would she be angry, her request was so ridiculous, maybe in the next second, Grandmaster Yunyue would kick her out......

She didn't want to be reckless.

However, she couldn't forget the loneliness in Hatsuhara's expression that couldn't be ignored since she stepped into the Changhai Dao Hall. Several times she saw Hatsuhara sitting under the banyan tree by the lake for a long time, looking at the lake for a long time......

"Please."

Grandmaster Yunyue said calmly.

The breath held in his chest slowly relaxed, and Baicao calmed down, trying to think about what to say, "This is ...... My own story......"

“…… I grew up in the Quansheng Gym, and when I was fourteen years old, I went to the Songbai Gym......" she glanced at Grandmaster Yunyue worriedly, and there was no change in emotion from his face...... The Songbai Gym is very beautiful, there are many trees planted in it, and there is also a big banyan tree, which is more dense than the banyan tree in the Changhae Gym......"

Grandmaster Yunyue's eyes were calm.

“…… I like the Shobai Gym very much, the people in the gym are very nice. I met Xiaoying, she is very cute, Senior Brother Ruobai, although he doesn't like to talk, but he is very, very good to people, Senior Brother Yifeng, he likes to sleep lazy...... "Lowered her head, she didn't dare to look at Grandmaster Yunyue anymore," ...... Also, there is Senior Brother Hatsuhara......"

“…… Senior Brother Hatsuhara also practiced taekwondo before, and he was very, very good, although I hadn't watched him fight, but everyone who watched it said that Senior Brother Hatsuhara was great, even better than the current Ting Hao's predecessors...... "Stunned, her voice became lower and lower," ...... Later, Senior Brother Hatsuhara didn't practice anymore, he was admitted to a medical university, and his studies were also very good, so he was exchanged to study in the United States for three years, and in the future, he will become a great doctor......"

In the cave, her voice gradually stopped.

Unusually silent.

After only a second of pause, she had already reacted as if she had just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly said:

"I say this because...... It's because ...... Brother Hatsuhara lived not far from the banyan tree. He built a log cabin surrounded by a stream flowing slowly...... The scenery there is very beautiful, and when I am usually tired from practicing, or if there is something in my heart that I can't solve, I will stand on the path and look at it from afar......"

"This time I came to the Changhai Daoist Hall, and I found that the scenery here is also very beautiful......" finally fulfilled the words just now, her palms sweated slightly, "...... Senior Brother Hatsuhara, Senior Brother Ruobai, Senior Brother Yifeng, and Xiaoying also thought it was beautiful...... We're going back tomorrow and we're having a great time here......"

“…… That's my story, I ...... I'm done talking......"

Her mind was still a little blank, and with her hands on the ground, she leaned down and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Grandmaster Yunyue."

There was silence in the cave.

For a long time, Baicao maintained a saluting posture, and she remained motionless until Grandmaster Yunyue said in a waveless voice:

"You get out."

******

Exiting the cave and walking through the dark, shady and damp tunnel, the light in front of him made Baicao's eyes close slightly. Walking through the long corridor from memory, her mind was chaotic, and her mind was chaotic. She couldn't remember what she had said, whether she had messed things up, or if she had just babbled a lot of gibberish, and Grandmaster Yunyue wouldn't understand it at all.

Yes.

Grandmaster Yunyue wouldn't understand.

Because in fact, she didn't know what to say herself, she just said a mess of words, and walked in a daze, hoping that she didn't get into trouble. Master said that she was always too impulsive and had to learn to restrain herself. This time, she's impulsive again, isn't she?

"Why did you come out so quickly?"

The shoulder was held hard, and she was slammed, and the clouds in front of her dispersed, and she found that she had walked out of the courtyard gate, and Ruobai was looking at her anxiously.

“……”

She stared at him blankly, not daring to speak.

"Are you going to get something and then go back?" Ruobai frowned and asked, "What do you need, I'll send it in for you, you hurry back and listen to Grandmaster Yunyue's guidance." ”

“……”

Her lips were a little dry, and she muttered:

“…… It's over. ”

"What?" Ruobai didn't hear clearly.

“…… It's over, so I'm out. ”

Baicao lowered his head, a little at a loss. Ruobai stared at her for two seconds, then Huo Ran turned around and walked towards the courtyard.

"Senior Brother Ruobai, what are you doing?"

She hurried after him.

"It's a whole day, maybe Grandmaster Yunyue has misunderstood, I'll explain it to him." Ruobai's voice was slightly deep, and he said without looking back.

"Not really!"

Grabbing his arm from behind, her face flushed, and she stammered:

“…… Be...... It's ...... that I brought it up."

Wakashiro's body froze.

He slowly turned around and looked at her in disbelief.

"What did you say?"

“…… I...... I said to Grandmaster Yunyue...... "She is extremely uneasy," ...... I want to tell him a story, and he doesn't have to guide me all day......"

"What's the story?" Ruobai frowned.

Shaking his head, Baicao said with a red face:

"I can't tell."

Ruobai stared at her tightly:

"You're not kidding?"

"Nope."

She was a little restless and couldn't breathe.

The summer wind blew between the two, and Ruobai watched her in silence, her tall figure completely enveloping her. She became more and more afraid, and the cold sweat on her back was pouring out little by little, and this fear was even more than facing Grandmaster Yunyue just now.

Ruobai's eyes asked sternly:

"Do you know what you're doing?"

“…… Yes. ”

"That story is more important than Grandmaster Yunyue's guidance?!"

“…… I...... I don't know," she bit her lip and shook her head in a panic, "...... I think maybe I did something stupid...... But...... But ......"

Ruobai closed his eyes.

His lips were slightly pale.

"Got it."

Turning around, Ruobai was silent, and did not say anything more to her, he walked out of the courtyard gate and walked on the mountain road back.

Wildflowers in the mountains.

The two walked one after the other.

Silently following behind Ruobai, looking at his back, Baicao was terrified.

******

In front of the window, Hatsuhara □□ a glass bottle of purple daisies, and in the sunlight, the flowers bloomed brilliantly. As soon as the courtyard door rang, he saw Ruobai and Baicao returning.

Ruobai walked straight back to the room.

Baicao stood in the middle of the courtyard in a daze, looking dazed.

"You're in trouble?"

The little daisy was placed on the windowsill, and Hatsuhara asked gently, and when he saw her humming and hanging his head in a daze, he smiled and said:

"Do you need me to intercede for you?"

“……”

Momokusa shook her head sadly. It's useless, Senior Brother Ruobai must be very angry and angry, perhaps, he will never pay attention to her again.

"Knock, knock."

With a sigh, Hatsuhara walked out of the room. He pulled her up, ignoring her frightened struggles, and knocked on the white door.

"If you ignore her, she'll be standing here all day." Hatsuhara smiled helplessly, pushed her towards Ruobai, who was standing at the door, and said, "It's better for you to scold her well, or simply beat her up, no matter what, it's not right to make Senior Brother angry." ”

Wakabai was silent.

He looked at Baicao, she didn't dare to say a word, her head was lowered, and her body trembled slightly, like a child who didn't know what to do after doing something wrong.

"I'm not angry." Ruobai said lightly.

Momokusa looked up in astonishment.

"You're not a person who doesn't know the importance of the matter, since you do this, you have a reason," Ruobai stared at her, "Last time it was because of your master, and this time it was because of what, I don't want to know." ”

After a pause, Ruobai continued indifferently:

"There's always something more important to you than taekwondo. I am very saddened that you have lost the opportunity to be guided by Grandmaster Yunyue, but you have the right to choose so. ”

"Senior Brother Ruobai......"

After hearing this, Baicao was even more flustered.

"I'm not angry."

Interrupting her, Ruobai repeated it again faintly, looked at her still uneasy face, and then looked at Hatsuhara, who was standing beside her, he lowered his gaze and said:

"Let's go out and play."

“……？”

Baicao felt that he had misheard.

"I'm going back to China tomorrow, and since I have free time, you can go out with Hatsuhara." Ruobai backhanded and prepared to close the door.

"Let's go together."

Hatsuhara hurriedly pressed the door of the house.

"No, I have something to do." Before closing the door, Ruobai took one last look at Baicao, frowned, and said, "Don't play too crazy, I'll start resuming training when I return home tomorrow." ”

"Can you rest assured?"

Seeing that Baicao was still looking at the white door in a daze, Hatsuhara rubbed her hair, handed the bouquet of daisies in the glass bottle to her hand, and said softly:

"This is for you."

The brilliant purple daisies, like a smile shining with sunshine, Baicao froze, and said unresponsively: "Give it to me?" ”

Hatsuhara smiled and said:

"Is it only allowed that Tinghao is allowed to send flowers, and I am not allowed to send them?"

“……”

Baicao was even more stunned.

"Alright," Hatsuhara coughed in the sunshine, "where do you want to play?" ”

"But," she was still uneasy, her eyes looking at the closed door, "Is Senior Brother Ruobai really not angry?" I...... I think I should still stay here, in case Senior Brother Ruobai ......"

"Let's go, then let me decide."

Shaking her head with a smile, Hatsuhara took her hand and pulled her towards the courtyard gate, who was still struggling.
