16. Chapter XVI
The petals were held in the palm of Qingfeng's hand all the time, but fortunately, they passed a stationery store halfway, and Ah Chan ran in and bought a small drifting bottle - the small glass bottle was transparent and exquisite, and there was a small wooden cork with a very feeling on the mouth of the bottle.
Ah Chan held the transparent glass bottle and watched as Qingfeng carefully put the pink petals in, and then plugged the wooden cork.
She lifted her face, held the small glass bottle with a cherry blossom petal in it, and smiled at him, "Is it pretty?" β
Aomine looked at her for a while before shifting his gaze to the glass bottle, and replied, "Beautiful." β
Ah Chan smiled, put the glass bottle in Qingfeng's palm, and said softly: "Give." β
Together, they walked across the overpass, walked another street, and reached the junction. In the past, Ah Chan and Momoi Qingfeng went home together, and after crossing the road here, they had to leave in different directions - although Momoi said just now that Qingfeng wanted Qingfeng to send her back, it was obviously just a joke.
Seeing that it was about to be time to separate, Qingfeng looked slightly sideways at Ah Chan walking beside him, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on her face, which was strange and strange.
As soon as the green light turned on, when crossing the street, he deliberately protected her in the direction where there was no car, as if he was a little worried that he would not be able to keep up with his pace in the middle of the road, Ah Chan gently grabbed Qingfeng's sleeve.
The young man was stunned for a moment, he subconsciously turned his head to look at her, and Ah Chan quickly let go of his hand as if he felt blamed.
I don't know why, Aomine suddenly remembered that day in the gymnasium, when he took her in his arms and threw herself on the ground, she was the same, as if nothing had happened, just lowered her head to pick up those empty bottles, and asked him to leave her alone to train, but secretly blushed, trying to hide her embarrassment and shyness.
He couldn't help but laugh and stretched his arm in her direction, "When you cross the street, pull me." Aomine paused, and added, "It's easier to move." β
Ah Chan tentatively raised her eyes to look at him, then pursed her lips and stretched out her hand to him with some hesitation, and gently pulled his sleeve again.
Noticing that he didn't seem to care, she tugged a little tighter.
Qingfeng kept laughing, he didn't want to be discovered by Ah Chan, he always felt that if he was discovered, he would be very embarrassed, so he turned his face away and pretended to look at the car, but he noticed the strength of her tugging at his sleeve, just sensing this was enough to make him feel good.
Just as soon as he crossed the street, Ah Chan let go of the hand that was tugging at his sleeve.
"When you go back alone......" Qingfeng looked at her and couldn't help but instruct: "Be careful on the road." β
Ah Chan smiled at him, "Qingfeng-kun too, be careful on the road." β
However, after saying this, neither of them turned to leave, they looked at each other silently for a while, and Ah Chan lowered her eyes, bowed slightly, and said, "...... Well, I'll go back first. See you tomorrow, Aomine-kun. β
"Hmm," Aomine replied after a moment, "I'll see you tomorrow." β
Ah Chan smiled at him, and then turned to leave.
Her slender and beautiful back disappeared around the corner after a while, and Aomine threw the schoolbag on his shoulder, put his other hand in his pocket, and sighed inexplicably.
Not long after he got home, Momoi also returned, and Aomine thought about it and went to her with a glass bottle.
"Well done, Ahma!" When he saw the glass bottle, Momoi looked relieved, "It looks like it's going very well." β
ββ¦β¦ Anyway," Aomine was a little awkward and didn't want to discuss anything about "progress" with Momoi, "How should this cherry blossom be kept?" β
"Well, the petals are ......" As a girl, Momoi can indeed give JianyΓ¬, "Press it in the book, wait for the moisture to run out, make a specimen, and then put it in a bottle?" β
"Is it okay to press it in a book?"
"Hmm!" Momoi said eagerly than him: "Do a good job, Ah Da!" This is the first gift that Ah Chan has given, so it's not okay if you don't keep it! β
Qingfeng subconsciously replied: "I know!" He felt that he seemed to be taking it too seriously, and "coughed" to cover it up, "...... It's not a gift, it's just a ...... I think the cherry blossoms are beautiful. β
Momoi snorted and laughed, "Say whatever you want." β
As a result, Ah Chan's days became: going to school, observing Huang Se, feeding Ziyuan in club activities, and going home with Aomine Momoi; Go to school, observe Huangse, feed Shihara for club activities, and go home with Aomine Momoi; Go to school, observe Huangse, feed Shihara for club activities, and go home with Aomine Momoi.
And since that time Ash Saki dragged Ah Chan away, Minister Hongcun seems to have taught him a hard lesson, and for several days he honestly came to the basketball club to participate in the department's work, and was stared at to death, but it didn't take long for him to skip the training again.
Senior Hiromura frowned angrily all day that day, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one in the basketball club to replace Ash Zaki for the time being, maybe he would have been ordered by Minister Hiromura to withdraw from the main election.
However, during the lunch break the next day, Ah Chan and Momoi were about to go to the rooftop to wait for Aomine to have dinner together, when they met the missing person from the basketball club around the corner.
He was clutching bread in his hand, apparently having just returned from the cafeteria. When he bumped into Chan head-on, Arashaki was slightly stunned, but laughed after seeing Momoi drag Chan back and try to distance himself vigilantly.
The smile seemed dangerous and ill-intentioned, Momoi suddenly became more vigilant, and Ash Qi pressed one hand on the wall, blocking their way, and bent down angrily in the posture of a standard bad boy accosting a girl, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the goddess of the emperor?" Where are you going? β
He glanced at the bento in the hands of Ah Chan and Momoi, and narrowed his eyes, "You've been getting very close to Daiki Aomine recently," Ash Saki said ill-intentionedly, "What, have you already empathized?" β
Momoi frowned, "Don't talk nonsense here!" β
Ah Chan didn't speak, but looked at his hand propped up on the wall - there were a lot of abrasions on the back of the white hand, and there were even many scabs on the joints.
And he rolled up the sleeves of his school uniform shirt, and there were still a lot of bruises on his exposed arms.
She asked quietly, "Did you go to a fight?" β
Ash Qi was slightly stunned, and he subconsciously immediately put his hand down, as if he didn't want to be seen by Ah Chan. Momoi was a little surprised, because according to his personality, she originally thought that he would say "yes so what?" "of.
Seeing this, Ah Chan raised her eyes to look at him and asked, "...... Is it to follow ...... Did Uesugi Seiichi fight them? β
Ash Qi suddenly became agitated, and stood up straight as if some secret mind had been punctured, looking extremely impatient, "That has nothing to do with you. β
Ah Chan asked persistently, "Is it Uesugi Chengichi?" β
Ash replied angrily, "You remember other people's names clearly, but you've only seen them once." β
Ah Chan blinked and continued to ask, "Is it him?" β
Seeing that she didn't seem to give up without asking a result, Ash Snorted coldly: "So what? But that's just because I don't like them. β
"That's right," Ah Chan paused and tilted her head, "So, is Miss Mitsuko Kato okay?" β
Ash Zaki stopped talking, and after standing there for a moment, he glared at her, "I can't even remember the name." β
He turned his face angrily to leave, but was dragged by Ah Chan on the hem of his clothes.
Ash Qi turned his head to look at her in some surprise, but saw Ah Chan looking at him, and said with a serious face: "Today's work, you remember to come over." β
"What? Are you going to start managing people when you first become the manager of the army? Ash raised his chin, out of some unwillingness to bow his head, trying to appear extraordinarily arrogant, "...... Look at my mood. β
But Ah Chan tugged at the hem of his clothes and didn't let go, she looked at him very seriously and said, "You have to remember to come here." β
Ashizaki raised his eyebrows, thinking about who was going, but he didn't know why he said, "Got it!" β
When he realized this, he suddenly pulled out the hem of his clothes a little irritably, added a rough sentence, and turned away: "...... It's long-winded! β
Momoi was a little worried, "Ah Chan, you and Ashizaki him?" β
Listening to her questioning, Ah Chan told her what happened later that day, "Although Ashaki-kun dragged me away, he finally protected me...... He seems to have been injured to teach those people a lesson, and I can't ignore him. β
Momoi sighed, "Really, Achan, you are inevitably too kind." She said dissatisfiedly: "Maybe it's true that as Ashizaki said, he just looks at people upset?" β
Ah Chan smiled and reassured: "However, it is always a good thing that Ashizaki-kun can participate in the ministry work, right?" β
Momoi thought about it, and although he was still a little angry, he stopped talking.
It's just that when the day's work was about to start, Ash Saki was still nowhere to be seen, and it wasn't until everyone thought that he was going to skip the work again today, that he shook over with his schoolbag on his shoulder.
As soon as Minister Hongcun saw him, he immediately threw off his team uniform and greeted him angrily. "Shogo Ashizaki - you still know about it!"
Ashizaki said, "I know!" He closed his eyes and waited for a long time for the fist that would normally fall, but he didn't wait.
He opened his eyes in some surprise, but found that Ah Chan didn't know when to follow and grabbed Hongcun.
"Minister, this weekend, there is a game in Diguang, right?" Ah Chan pulled the sleeve of the Minister of Hongcun with one hand, and held the competition training table in her arms with the other hand.
She wore a ponytail today, wearing a white crewneck tracksuit, revealing a slender neck, and the line between the shoulders and the silhouette was incredible.
Ash Saki looked at her, and just when everyone thought that Ah Chan was going to intercede for Ash Saki, she said, "Ash Gasaki-kun is the right choice...... Why don't you wait for him to finish the game and then beat him? He was useless then. β
Ash Qi suddenly raised his eyebrows with Minister Hongcun, and he thought to himself - what is useless! While watching Hongcun's reaction.
- The minister really seems to be seriously considering, but Ashizaki knows that he will not refuse Ah Chan's request, and sure enough, after a while, he sighs, "What Sakurai said also makes sense......"
Ash Qi was about to pout his lips for his guess correctly, but saw Hongcun suddenly turn his head and glared at Ash Akira, "-Skip the work, wait for the end of the competition, you will die." β
Ash had heard this kind of thing countless times - "If you don't come to train, you will die", "If you don't come to live, you will die", at this moment he smiled at Minister Hongcun rather scoundrelly, and went to the locker room with his schoolbag.
When he came out after changing his clothes, he saw Ah Chan waiting outside.
"Ashizaki-kun," she looked up at him with a bandage and wound medicine in her arms, her eyes black and white, clear and bright, "I'll help you bandage the wound on your hand." β
Ash was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and glanced at the injury on his hand. He subconsciously clenched his fists, not wanting her to see it, so he didn't care awkwardly: "...... No, it's just a small injury, and I'll be fine in a few days. β
"But, there's going to be a game the day after tomorrow, right?" Ah Chan looked down at his hand, and as soon as she looked down, Ash Saki couldn't see her expression, and could only hear her voice, gentle and gentle.
ββ¦β¦ If you don't bandage it well, if you touch something......" She paused, and her voice suddenly became softer, as if a louder voice would make him feel pain, and said softly: "...... It's going to hurt. β
