"I'm back."

Shinobu Yushi, who had finished his U17 training, coldly and cruelly refused his partner's invitation to lunch with Higaku Mumito, packed up his things as soon as he got out of the car, and went straight home.

…… To tell the truth, when he was leaving, he seemed to read the meaning of "Uncle Ben gave you a little red flower" from the gorgeous eyes of Uncle Jibe.

"Guys? You're back! Hearing the voice, Maji should have been in the kitchen, she quickly ran to the entrance with her apron on, her hands were still shining, obviously she didn't have any intention of helping the ninja who had returned from a long trip to pick up things, and threw down a sentence of instruction and flashed into the kitchen again, "Hurry up, come and cut yellowtail!" ”

Shinobu put away the luggage for the time being, and washed his hands in the bathroom first. When I saw Maki pouring teriyaki sauce on the golden fish pieces fried on both sides, the sound of sizzling sounded in the pan, and the aroma of fish instantly filled the room.

A piece of unprocessed fish belly was placed on the cutting board, and the shinobu took a willow-bladed knife from the knife holder, and cut out a plate of sashimi with precision and neatness.

It's winter, and it's the best time to eat "hamber".

This dish is an indispensable recipe for the Kansai family in the New Year, and Shinobu has been familiar with it since childhood. Of course, his favorite fish is the blue swordfish, but it doesn't have to be obsessed with this Kansai specialty, but it's the best time to do something. His character of attaching importance to the current situation is undoubtedly reflected here, and Zhen Ji usually often complains about his poor and exquisite young master's life, but he has to agree with this kind of beautiful enjoyment of the season.

The salt-fried fresh yellowtail was also made quickly, and she had roughly prepared lunch before Shinobu came back, knowing that he was about to arrive, so she took out the yellowtail she bought today and processed it, and now it was just on the table.

Hot rice, two yellowtail dishes, a bowl of scallop burdock root miso soup, and a brightly colored Japanese vegetable salad made the ninja who had eaten the training camp buffet for many days breathe a long sigh of relief as soon as he sat down. Of course, the food of U17 is not bad, and the nutritional ratio is also scientific and accurate. But I've been eating the original dishes of the real season for more than half a year, and this time I dislike it a lot more than in previous years.

…… Is this the so-called luxury to simplicity?

"I'm moving!"

Maji clapped her palms, and immediately forked a piece of yellowtail with chopsticks, and gently dipped it in a small dish with soy sauce, the rich fat made the liquid quickly slide off the fish, and the taste was so smooth and delicate that she squinted her eyes with satisfaction. The knife work of the Shinobu is frenzied, and of course it is best suited to summon such things as cutting sashimi.

After talking about the things during the training for a while, Maki suddenly remembered something and pointed to the study of the ninja foot yoshi, "I have found all the cram school materials you said you were looking for earlier, and they have been placed on your desk." Thank me quickly, this is the high-IQ captain who asked Emperor Kirichi in May to come, and this Captain Imaiyoshi has been judged A in the mock exams of Todai University several times before. ”

"Of course, thank you very much, since the reference value should be very high, and you don't have to bother to search." Shinobu was originally going to start cram school next semester, but before leaving, he only mentioned it in a casual conversation with Maki at the dinner table, but he didn't expect her to move so fast, and he actually found him a reference material with such a high credibility as soon as he came back.

Zhenji is not a day job, "You are a little more informed when you are tutoring, I am still waiting for your old man's experience next year." I'm also going to quit my part-time job at the end of next semester, so I'm going to take a good look at the book. ”

She knew that Shinobu was going to apply for the University of Tokyo, so she was looking for a credible third-year senior purposefully. She also asked Ryota Kuse, but according to Kwase's report, the Haichang basketball club couldn't find such a fierce firepower. He also cried that he didn't know if this question had poked the sore spot of their predecessors, causing him to be kicked again.

…… Do you need so many reasons for Thinktoomuch to kick? ←_←

The lunch was uneventful, as if they hadn't been apart for so many days. After the meal, Maji also picked up his pick and ran to watch TV, and he was not prepared at all to provide special treatment for the ninja who had just returned home. He packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and saw that she was leaning back on the couch to watch the replay of "DarkMoon", so he simply sat on the couch and watched it together.

However, instead of sitting at a distance of a position from her as usual, he sat quietly beside Maki, almost touching her with a palm and even a slight sideways.

When Zhenji, who was attracted by the plot, came to her senses, she realized that this guy actually had the essence of her father Akaji Mashi's shameless death, and Tian was shamelessly about to rub herself. Probably because she had just finished drinking a bowl of hot miso soup, and Shinobu was a physically strong sports teenager, she didn't know if some puberty came late, which made her nerves become extraordinarily slender recently, and she always felt that her exposed palms could touch the heat emitted by Shinobu Yushi's body.

It must be an illusion, after all, there is still heating in the house!

But it wasn't until the ninja foot gentleman seemed to unintentionally lean back against the back cushion of the sofa that Maki felt as if his neck was burned.

"Is my aunt's visiting time coming to an end?"

Maki barely forgot about this unscientific feeling, and picked up his topic and said, "That's right, I should be back before April, and I could have stayed for a while." However, it seems that recent research has made a breakthrough and has a major synergistic effect on a heavy industry project of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, so I am still being urged to return to China as much as possible. ”

"Well, after all, she used to be a high-profile genius star."

"Stop making a fuss." Zhenji sighed, "What's the point that the light talent is favored, isn't the reality cruel?" Although it was finally confirmed that her insistence was correct, she almost had no money to buy rice before. When she was in a bottleneck and faced a disconnection of funds, it was not thanks to the investment that her university tutor helped to introduce, and now it can be regarded as being able to repay others. ”

"True season." Shinobu suddenly chuckled, "So you don't know until now? ”

Real Season Girl Emoji Pack: ???

"You're right, the reality is cruel. Compared to the unproven value of the future, it is indeed easy to panic about the imminent failure. "Shinobu also knows that his aunt Umegaki Kiyowa was struggling back then, but at present, the news he dug up from Lord Erina is better informed than that of Maji, "Good luck from heaven is indeed rare, even for a genius like Auntie, the source of that fund is not Auntie's mentor, it is Uncle Zhenshi." ”

Sure enough, Maki let out an exclamation, and she suddenly turned her head to look at the ninja warrior, "What did you say?!" ”

Because the two of them were leaning on the sofa almost head to head, she might have rubbed the ears or hair of the ninja foot with such a sudden turn. And the ninja had already expected her reaction, and had already turned his face sideways and was waiting for her, so that now it had become a very ambiguous face-to-face side bed.

The hot air he exhaled spewed into the crook of Maki's collarbone, causing her to stiffen up from the couch like an electric shock.

There was a sound of rustling, and the shinobi sat up slowly, holding his hair slowly, he crossed his hands on his knees, and looked at Maji's glares amusefully, and had to raise his hands to signal his confession, "Confess leniently, I know from Erina, and you also know that she has been Uncle Zhenshi's little tail since she was a child." At that time, my aunt and Uncle Zhenshi had just divorced, and you were still in elementary school, so of course it was normal for you not to notice it. As for the aunt, a certain kind of Cheng dù is also very easy to deceive. In addition, the source of such a huge sum of money - Zhenji, you also know that he will not directly ask the Akaji family for help, but Uncle Zhenshi's so many friends are not in vain, and the risk is extremely obvious, but he finally raised it. ”

Indeed, as a stupid elementary school student at the time, she only remembered the results of the accident, and did not know the specific process. Zhenji stayed for a full three minutes before she could barely digest the news, and she said in a muffled voice, "So this is because there was no news for the first three years?" I really didn't wronged him, he was really a gambler with huge debts......"

Of course, Zhenji has heard of the large amount of money, but the project of Umegaki Kiyokazu has a very long funding cycle, and it is almost now that it has begun to generate significant returns. Akaji Mashi was able to raise such a sum of money with his cheekiness and extensive friendships, but he couldn't delay it for five years. Even if he didn't know what he was doing in the United States, Maki could guess at this time that Akaji Mashi must have been busy scoring in the first three years, so it was no wonder that even his daughter's birthday email would be pinched at the wrong time.

Shinobu took advantage of the situation to rub Maki's hair, and it was rare for her not to avoid it.

"Uncle Zhenshi will return to China with his aunt, right?"

"What else do you need to say?" Zhenji slapped his hand away, "You can't even rush away, right?" This kraft candy! ”

Shinobu asked a very constructive question, "Will they come here then?" ”

After learning the news of his mother's return to China, Maki thought about this problem, "It should be, although my grandfather's courtyard is still there, but the house is too big, and these two people are reluctant to hire housekeepers, so it is obvious that living in an apartment of this size can barely take care of it." ”

This apartment was originally for a family of three, and Maji now lives in the side bedroom, and the master bedroom was left to his mother Qinghe during the renovation.

Shinobu Shizu sincerely and reliably demonstrated the analytical skills of the Ice Emperor's genius: "They got married at a young age, divorced various immature guides with personality differences, and experienced ups and downs in between, such as terrorist attacks, which can be bumped into on the spot by small probability events, so the precious space for two people is very precious." I think as a daughter, you should support it, Maji? ”

"Huh?" Zhenji didn't think it through for a while, thinking that Shinobu Yushi was encouraging himself to assist, "Forget it, your respected Mr. Akaji is annoying enough, and your mention of yì is too much, so dismiss and dismiss." ”

"Nope."

Shinobu gracefully pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Erina doesn't have time to come over anyway, so I don't think I need to leave the side bed to her."

Unless he deliberately refuses to speak human words, with the analytical and judgment ability of Zhenji who has been engaged in managerial trivial matters for many years, he will still be able to keenly grasp the key points and be organized.

What he means is –

Let her move to his house.

If it was like this from the beginning, it would be nothing, after all, they grew up together since childhood, and they can barely be regarded as brother and sister, plus the neighbors who have been getting along for most of the year are actually not much different from living together.

But now that the situation is gradually becoming different, the implication of this sentence is naturally different.

The instinctive reply "Do your ghost dreams" I don't know why it turned a few times on the tip of the tongue, but it didn't come out after all. This made Maki's feelings worse at the moment, as if he was actually looking forward to this option in his heart. She also felt that the air conditioning in this room was so high that she couldn't even breathe.

Maki took a few quick breaths, tried to ignore the accelerated heartbeat, and responded with a bright smile-

"Very thoughtful. The organization considered approval, but ......

"Yu Shi, you also know that I have too many things, and when the time comes, please ask Brother Jingwu and Zhengjun to help move, you won't object, right?"

Endure Feet, See Through Life and Death, Yu Shi: "......"

Hesu occupies most of the winter vacation.,Within a few days, the third semester of the Higher Division of the Ice Emperor School Park was ushered in.。

The tension of going on to higher education and the sadness of graduation season pervade the campus, even for first- and second-year students. What is gratifying is that,Judging from the results of the previous mock exams,The Higher Department of the Ice Emperor School Park still has the strength to rank among the top three in Tokyo's admission rate this year.。

It wasn't until mid-February that the Valentine's Day pink arrows broke through.

Maki took a leave of absence yesterday afternoon with Keigo Tracebe and went home to make a lot of chocolates. She specially ran to the door of Feng Chotaro's classroom next door to deliver the first Yili chocolate, he happened to be sitting at the back door this week, Maji took a look, and sure enough, he found that the Fengjun table hole, which can be called the "conscience of the Ice Emperor" of the tennis department, was stuffed and was about to fry.

"Fengjun, happy birthday!"

The birthday of this good-natured student is simply romantic, and Maki has long heard from Higaku that it is also for this reason that the tennis club has received the most chocolates on Valentine's Day, except for Keigo Jibu.

"Thank you." Feng Chotaro smiled embarrassedly and scratched his head, but as soon as he came today, he received a soft hand, and he was forced to get used to it, and it was rare to take the chocolate from Maji's hand neatly.

After going to Hiyoshiruo's classroom again, the class bell rang quickly. She was going to wait until she went to the tennis club, and she still lay on the table at noon and took a nap. I couldn't sleep anymore, but when I heard someone calling her, I rubbed my eyes in a daze and looked over.

"Yoo, uh...... Umegagaki! ”

Standing at the door of her classroom, Xiang Higaku waved at her even more nervously when he saw her wake up.

As soon as Zhenji went out, Xiang Riyue whispered, "Sister Yushi! Go to the social office, and the trace department will look for you. Oh, he didn't bring his phone, don't call, look for him near the West Gate. ”

True season: O____o

…… Senior Xiangri, you have been messing with Yu Shi for so long, and you are still so good at deceiving people, it is really out of the mud and not stained.

Considering the revolutionary teammate between himself and Xiang Ri's predecessors, Maki believed that even if there was any hidden secret, he would not pit himself, so he went downstairs under the eyes of Xiang Riyue and walked towards the west gate of the tennis club.

The cherry blossoms on the side of the stone road are not yet in bloom, but the various flower beds of the Ice Emperor are arranged by the gardening society, and you can see different flowers in each season.

This is the season when camellia flowers are in full bloom.

Maki walked along the barbed wire fence of the tennis club towards the west gate, thinking that there should be a red camellia around the corner in front of him. Her ears were pointed, and when she heard the sound of a girl talking in front of her, she immediately stopped.

"Seniors ......"

Yushi?!

Was it the brave girl who happened to bump into the Valentine's Day confession?

With the coquettish and bewildering appearance of the forbearance and bewilderment, not long after Zhen Ji first entered the Ice Emperor, he had experienced this scene a few times. Even because the refusal of the legendary ninja is not hurtful at all, Zhenji also learned in the process of exchanging gossip with other girls that many fierce Ice Emperor girls actually confessed in order to refuse, just to experience the campus legend firsthand.

…… What a touching spirit of scientific research!!

"I participated in the first batch of selection exams for the Higher Division of the Ice Emperor Academy, and I have already got a letter of recommendation!"

It's not a girl in school, it's a third-year high school candidate. In order to attract excellent students, students can visit the campus during non-school hours as long as they have a letter of recommendation for the Guò exam during the enrollment period of the Higher Division. In order to watch the excitement just now, Maki had secretly skimmed out half of his head, and he happened to see the uniform skirt that the girl was familiar with.

The middle school affiliated to Luoshan University.

- It's that Kitazono Shouba.

The only girl who didn't completely refuse.。

Although Maki also heard Ryo Shishido say that Shinobu Yushi Kokusan rejected her when she was three, she has been persevering in watching the Kanto Tournament and the National Championship, and she also sends gifts on Valentine's Day and Shinobu Yushi's birthday, and occasionally sends some emails. Kitazono Shouye is already good at dealing with people, so the show of goodwill that has a good grasp of the distance is very compatible with the character of the ninja Yushi, and I have to say that her intelligence work is not inferior to Momoi May.

has a shining point and is so persistent, no wonder the time Maji asked the shinobi before, his attitude towards having such an admirer was not disgusted by the acquiescence.

"I've been in Hokkaido and Kyoto before.,I'm also afraid of causing trouble to the seniors of the Yushi.,So I took the exam for the Ice Emperor School Park for the first time this year.。 So I want to be able to say what I think this time - I like you! Can you socialize with me? ”

I like you.

- she said it.

Maji, who was originally in a relaxed state of mind, couldn't help but purse his lips, and sure enough, no matter what the result was, Shinobu would patiently listen to the girl's words.

Especially this person is a bit ......

But before Zhenji could fill in the word "shu" in his mind, he quickly heard the reply of the ninja foot.

"I'm sorry, Northpark-san."

It was still that deep voice, but Maki didn't feel like it had the indescribable magnetic waves she usually heard.

"I already have someone to recognize."

Maki stood in place, his toes gently crushing in the dirt. But her ears kept pricked up, and she heard that there was silence on the other side, which made her even more convinced of Kitazono Shouye's seriousness towards the Shinobu Foot, so that at this moment, instead of asking embarrassedly, she tried her best to see the importance of "the person who was identified" from his gaze, trying to find the gap and reason why she could intervene.

The footsteps of Hokuzono Shouba gradually moved away, and Shinobu Shinobu was still standing in place, the breeze ruffling his dark blue hair.

- Why didn't he move? Is he remembering something?

They are too familiar, and Maji is not eager to chase feelings, which makes her always feel a little shrinking, or feel that it is now a matter of course. She didn't have the same urgent intention to say "I like you" like this girl, and of course Maki knew that Shinobu didn't like Kitazono Shouba right now, and with what she knew about him over the years, she was confident enough to make this assertion.

But this does not mean that a girl's sincerity will not ripple in the closed door of his heart.

- No, I don't allow it.

Don't talk about layers of ripples, don't even think about the slightest ripple.

Maki realizes that this kind of relationship is so different from the happy frolic of young playmates, and the long-flowing family and friendship, her crimson eyes flashed a sharp edge, and at this moment she finally understood the reason for her grandfather's paranoid madness and her father's capricious unreasonableness, whether it was good or evil, right or wrong, this was an either/or war. She took a wayward step around the corner and accidentally touched the camellia blooming in the flower bed.

At this moment when the camellia petals trembled, the ninja foot warrior suddenly turned around, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, as if he had seized a wonderful opportunity.

"You've finally moved."

When he accidentally caught a glimpse of the red head, he knew that after he was accidentally stopped by Beiyuan Shouye on the road, his partner turned around and slipped away to report the news.

He strode up to her, staring at her with a good streak, leaning over into her pupils, frame by frame.

Reluctantly removed from the girl's pink crimson lips.

He said this—

"I've been waiting for you, Maji."

—END—
