17. Chapter XVII

Sakurai Chan is always in the spotlight.

Therefore, when she followed Ashizaki into the basketball arena and waited for him to sit on the side, she crouched down to hold his hand, and many people looked extremely surprised.

But neither client cares about what other people think.

Ah Chan carefully wrapped the bandage around Ash Saki's hand, she carefully held his hand in her hand, the movement was extremely gentle, occasionally touching his skin, so gentle, it was like a silent comfort.

Ash Sits and bends slightlyβ€”it would make it easier for him to see her movements and their hands folded.

He could clearly see that his hand was knuckled, much bigger than Ah Chan, and at this moment, he only needed to move his fingers, and he could easily hold her hand in its entirety-

For Ashaki, who has flirted with many girls and had an affair, he should have been familiar with this kind of action, but he looked at Ah Chan with her eyebrows lowered, and she was extremely supple and concerned, but for some reason she didn't do it.

Moreover, probably because of his long-term play, Ashisaki's palm has a lot of thick calluses and is very rough to the touch, but he can also feel how soft and delicate the other person's hand is.

Ah Chan's bandaging skills are so superb for some reason, and her relaxed posture is almost like dancing at his fingertips - anyway, she has been in the Hokage world for a few years after all.

When she was a child, Yakshamaru taught her some basic medical techniques, and she practiced how to tie bandages with Iara, Kankuro, and Temari at that time. Ninjas are professions that need to fight a lot, and even go in and out of the battlefield, so for things like bandages, Ah Chan can be said to be professional.

After a while, she carefully tied the knot, gently placed Ashizaki's hand on his knee, and stood up with a sigh of relief.

It's just that after squatting for too long, humans occasionally have a burst of dizziness, so as soon as Ah Chan straightened up, she staggered back a few steps uncontrollably.

Ash Saki stood up almost subconsciously and stretched out his hand to hold her, but Minister Hongcun didn't know when he was already standing behind Ah Chan, and at this time he firmly held her shoulder.

Ah Chan slowed down for a while, then stood firm, she looked dazed for a moment, then turned her face away, and thanked the Minister of Hongcun: "Thank you, Minister." ”

Ash Qi frowned, but Hongcun didn't care about him, he nodded calmly towards Ah Chan, "Be careful." ”

Ah Chan took the junior students' unique admiration for their seniors, pursed her lips and nodded a little shyly, took a step back, and politely stood aside.

Ash Saki looked even more unhappy.

So when Hongcun turned his face to look at him, what he saw was his gloomy eyebrows. The minister raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything, just glanced at his bandaged hand, then looked at Ah Chan and asked, "Sakurai, have you studied nursing?" ”

Ah Chan paused for a moment, and then replied with some hesitation: "I have learned a little." ”

Minister Hongcun smiled, "Originally, I wanted the last First Army Manager to teach you and Momoi some nursing techniques, but it seems that you don't need to learn anymore." ”

He paused, as if he couldn't find anything else to say, so he nodded to Ah Chan again and said, "I'll trouble you about bandages in the future." ”

Chan smiled at him, "Okay." ”

Athletes sometimes go on the field to prevent sprains, even if there is no injury, they will do some protection, and if there is an injury on the body, the bandage is even more important, so the manager of the team will more or less have some nursing knowledge and skills, and even learn to massage or something. As a minister, it makes sense for Hongcun to ask about this, but it was from it that Ashizaki saw the ill-intentioned abuse of private power, and snorted coldly after Hongcun left.

He stood up, looked at the white bandage on his hand, and then looked at Ah Chan, "You." He curled the corners of his lips coldly, and originally wanted to stab her and say, "Very good at seducing men", but looking at her face, he couldn't say such hurtful words, and finally could only say a depressed "tsk".

Ah Chan didn't know what he was thinking, so she just looked at him softly and said, "Ashizaki-kun." ”

Ashaki was very annoyed by his soft-heartedness, so he responded angrily, "Huh? ”

But she didn't care about his attitude, and only said softly: "Please don't let yourself get hurt again." ”

The gray-haired delinquent boy didn't seem to expect her to say this, so he was silent for a while before deliberately and maliciously speculated: "...... Why, if I'm always hurting, you're always going to have to bandage my wounds? Feeling annoying? ”

But Ah Chan raised her eyes and looked at him, her eyes were as clear as spring water, "If Ashizaki-kun wants to take care of it, even if he is not injured, he can come to me, it's just ......" She paused, looked down at his hand, and sighed softly: "Don't get hurt anymore." ”

Ash Saki stood there, looking condescendingly at her gently fluttering long eyelashes, and suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry, he turned towards her and opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Minister Hiromura was already shouting over there, "Ash Saki Shogo!!" How long are you going to fish! ”

He suddenly stopped his movements, turned his head to look at Hongcun, rarely didn't talk back, and asked Ah Chan again, "Did you also bring a bento to Ziyuan today?" ”

Ah Chan nodded with some confusion.

"Then," said Ashaki, "if you give me that bento, I'll promise you." ”

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, a murderous voice sounded from behind him. "--I pinch you."

Atsushi Shihara didn't know when he walked to his neighborhood, and as soon as he heard Ashizaki's request, his face, which had always been indifferent, was instantly gloomy and angry.

"That's mine!"

Someone came out to fight each other, and Ash Qi suddenly turned around, looked at Ziyuan, and showed a wicked smile, "Really? Wouldn't that be better? Because eating other people's food always makes it more delicious. ”

He said provocatively: "What's more, that's not your thing, right?" Sakurai Chan makes things, she wants to give whoever she wants is her freedom, what position do you have to say that it's your thing? ”

"Because Sakura, she made it for me!"

"Huh? Who are you? Why do you have the confidence to say that what she does must be for you? ”

This sentence made Zi Yuan pause suddenly, he turned his face away, walked in front of Ah Chan, looked at her very seriously and said, "I listen to you." ”

Ash Saki frowned inexplicably, but when he thought about it, Shihara seemed to only listen to Akaji's words, and felt that this condition was actually quite good. "Hey......!"

Ah Chan blinked, but said, "...... Listen to everything? ”

Purple Hara said "um" very affirmatively, "Except for Akaji's words, I only listen to Sakura, although Sakura is very weak-"

He paused, "But after thinking about it, I don't hate listening to you even if Sakura is so weak, so Sakura's bento can't be given to others." ”

Ah Chan didn't know that Akaji had said to him, "The so-called liking is that even if the other party is much weaker than herself, people will willingly obey all her words", so she didn't realize at all that Ziyuan was responding to the sentence she once asked him, "Do you like me", but if you want to get germ cells, as long as the other party doesn't object, Ziyuan said that she would listen to her...... Well, he wouldn't be against it, would he?

Thinking of this, Ah Chan laughed, but before she could speak, the movement here had already attracted both the minister and the deputy minister.

Hongcun's brows furrowed, "What's the matter?" ”

And Akaji's gaze swirled around Chan, Shihara, and Ashizaki respectively, and he didn't speak.

Ah Chan and Ash Saki didn't speak, and Zi Yuan frowned and said, "Ash Saki wants to rob my cherry blossoms." ”

Hongcun looked at Ashizaki with a headache, "Ashizaki? ”

Ash replied angrily, "Who wants to rob someone!?" I'm just hungry and want to eat a bento. ”

――So, is this a conflict that revolves around the bento box made by Sakurai Chan?

Both Hongcun and Akaji knew that it was not so simple, but they couldn't break it.

"But," but after a while, Akaji spoke, "I've seen Sakurai's bento boxes, and they do look very delicious." ”

Ziyuan immediately said: "The Sakura is super delicious!" ”

"Also, the amount of training required for the main selection is indeed very large," Akaji smiled, "It's not a bad thing to replenish more energy, and Sakurai, as the manager, will be in charge of all the bento boxes for the main selection in the future." ”

Hearing him say this, Ash Qi frowned, "Hey, do you want to exhaust her!?" ”

"Of course it's not mandatory," Akaji was unmoved, "If there is a need for the main election, I will have them register with Sakurai, and the money for food materials will be deducted from the department's work funds, and I will apply to the school to open the housework classroom so that Sakurai-san can work better." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at the Minister of Hongcun on the side, bowed slightly, and asked very humbly: "Is this okay?" Minister? ”

Hongcun frowned and looked at Ah Chan on the side, "Sakurai, do you think you can handle it?" ”

Ah Chan thought for a moment and nodded meekly, "...... I'll try. ”

Akaji continued, "Midorima and I shouldn't need it. The rest, probably only Murasaki, Ashisaki, and Aomine, right? ”

He looked at Ash Saki on the side: "Does Ash Saki need it now?" ”

It's just that Akaji's tone is obviously quite gentle, but Ashizaki looks very disgusted, he frowned and didn't answer, and walked away.

After he left, Ziyuan snorted childishly, and Akaji looked at him and said, "You too, Ziyuan, go back to training." ”

Ziyuan said "oh", but looked at Ah Chan again without moving, and Ah Chan blinked, "That's what you mean...... Do you want to listen to me, too? ”

Ziyuan let out a "hmm" and continued to look at her, Ah Chan glanced at Akaji, looking a little uneasy and cramped, "...... When it comes to training, I just want to listen to Vice Minister Akaji. ”

"However, it was Chi Tsai who told me that I must listen to you willingly no matter what."

Akaji was slightly stunned, but Ah Chan didn't know why Ziyuan said this, and glanced at Akaji with doubts, "...... So, you're going to go back to training, right? ”

Ziyuan agreed: "Okay." ”

After he also left, the girl who was standing alone in front of the two ministers lowered her head as if she had done something wrong, and she seemed to feel a little ashamed that she had caused such a commotion, and lowered her head with great unease, "...... I'm sorry. ”

"It's not your fault." But Akaji said gently, "It's Ashigasaki and Murasaki's problemβ€”if I have to say you're at fault," he paused, looking a little helpless, "I guess it's just that you're growing too well." ”

Minister Hongcun sighed thoughtfully.

"It may be rude to say that, but I want to say," said Akaji, "I hope you don't fall in love with the basketball team." ”

Ah Chan was slightly stunned: "...... Huh? ”

"Ziyuan still doesn't understand what liking is, you don't have to take what he says." Akaji said quietly: "Of course, if you and Ashizaki are in love, I don't mean to stop it, but it seems that this is not the case, so if you fall in love, many things will become very troublesome." ”
