My Chinese teaching went unexpectedly well.

I started with pinyin, then words, starting with traditional characters, and at the same time starting with some simple grammar. Although Yuu Fujisawa is a junior high school student, she already has a high school level of English, and I often use English grammar as an assistant to explain to her.

Yuba Fujisawa learns quickly.

In addition to two hours of Chinese lessons every day, Fujisawa Yuha also has to study high school subjects in advance, and flower arrangement, tea ceremony, and violin are all her daily compulsory courses. After she began learning to write Chinese Chinese characters, she even found time to practice calligraphy, which she wrote with a straight hand.

My student Yuu Fujisawa was a very easy girl to get acquainted with, and during recess, we sat on the low side, and Yuu Fujisawa ate snacks and chatted with me, and she never shied away from talking to me about her family.

She said that the Fujisawa family did not originally live in Seiwayama, and that in her mother's generation, all girls were born in the clan, and her mother was the second of the two young ladies in the family. At that time, the eldest lady of the Fujisawa family, her aunt Keiori married her uncle, Zhinian Shuxi, who was ordered to be a baby kiss. The following year, her father became the son-in-law of the Fujisawa family, and the Fujisawa family moved to Seiwayama. Three years ago, after the death of her uncle-in-law Zhinian Shuxi, her aunt became the head of the two families of Zhinian Fujisawa.

And her brother, Yuichi Fujisawa, was acting at the helm of the Zhinian Foundation at that time, and will officially inherit the entire Zhinian Foundation two years later.

She suddenly mentioned the name, as if she was talking about today's weather, but it caused a wave in my heart, and I was caught off guard. She called several times before she came back to her senses.

She put down the tea Gu containing matcha and said, "Now, sir, are you thinking that our Fujisawa family has shamelessly usurped the property of the Zhinian family." If that's the case, sir, you're wrong. She winked playfully, "Actually, I'm not related to Yuichi's brother!" ”

"Huh?"

"Brother Yuichi, who is actually the child of his uncle and aunt, was passed on to our family after birth, and his mother's father was born to only Yuyu and Youhui." She ate a small snack and showed regret on her face, "Although Brother Yuichi is already very good, if it is possible, Yuyu would prefer to be adopted to my family by Sister Yuki." After all, my ultimate goal is to become a genius girl like Yuki's sister. ”

As you know, Yuichi Fujisawa is actually the son of Sookie, and I've always known about it. And now, in the flash of light, I think of the day of the Jinian Sook Hee show, I met the fashion celebrity Margaret Ross, who said an unfamiliar name to me.

“Chinen Yuki。” I recall.

"Mr. knows Sister Yuki?" Yuha Fujisawa looked at me in surprise.

I didn't react at the time, and the surname of her first name, Chinen, was Zhinian.

"No, she's your uncle's daughter?"

Fujisawa Yuha nodded and said longingly: "Sister Yuki is a great genius beautiful girl, Yuyu heard that she is not only good at reading, but also very good at flower arrangement and tea ceremony, and she is also very proficient in the violin." Moreover, my uncle-in-law has said that Yuki's sister has a design talent that others can't match, and she was born to design. ”

"I heard?"

"Well, a family like ours, except for a few important festivals, is rarely seen in normal times. After her uncle died, Yuki's sister went to the United States to study and never returned. Yuyu had only seen her when she was very young. ”

"It seems that Yuyu has been working hard with this Yuki sister as an example." I looked at her, "So, this sister of yours also knows Chinese?" ”

After listening to my words, Fujisawa Yuha suddenly stood up excitedly: "It's not!" Yuha learned Chinese because of that ice-faced girl in Osaka! ”

"Ice-faced girl?"

"Although Yuki is looking forward to Yuki's sister, Yuki's sister is actually far away from Yuki, Yuyu doesn't even have a photo of her, only some vague impressions, and there is no real feeling. And Yuki's sister is a few years older than me, so it's understandable that she can be so good. But," she stomped her foot excitedly, "but suddenly one day, I suddenly met a beautiful girl of the same age as me, prettier than me, with longer legs than me, playing the violin better than me, looking particularly good, and even speaking Chinese!" ”

She leaned down and propped her hand on the low table: "For Yuyu, she is not a yuki sister without a sense of reality, this person is a living genius beautiful girl!" Yes! It's so painful...... Yuyu can't accept it anyway! She knelt on the tatami mat, held my hands, and looked at me earnestly, "Now, Yuyu's thoughts, sir, can you understand?" ”

"You Yu's thoughts, Mr. can understand." I looked at her: "Actually, in the eyes of Mr., you are already very good. ”

Fujisawa Yuyu pressed his face to the low table, and said angrily, "Sir doesn't understand at all how perfect that ice-faced girl is. ”

So, from the narration of Yuha Fujisawa, who was in a bad mood, I got to know a little bit about the "ice-faced girl".

That was what happened last month, when Yuba Fujisawa accompanied her mother to Osaka. Her mother spent her early years living across the sea in Neil, where she met Ms. Dripgrass, who was married to a Neil native, and the two formed a strong friendship. Ten years ago, before her death, she entrusted her daughter to her friend Ichikawa, who brought her back to her native Osaka to raise her.

Every year on the day of Ms. Dripusa's death, Fujisawa Yuu's mother would go to Osaka alone, and Fujisawa Yuba was very curious about the girl who had only heard from her mother, and she begged to go with her mother, and this year she finally got her wish.

Yuha Fujisawa followed her mother to the outskirts of Osaka, and the manor named after the girl was planted with purple lavender and a sea of flowers. The main house of the Flower Sea Center turned out to be a three-story glass house, and she couldn't see the interior from the outside, but she could imagine a good view of the interior. Yuu Fujisawa and her mother were warmly received by Ms. Ichikawa, and as she sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, she felt like she was being wrapped in a cloud of lavender outside.

She had been to the lavender mecca, but it was no more beautiful than what she had seen in this manor.

Fujisawa Yuyu faintly felt a little jealous in his heart.

"Lavender had just come back from a friend's house and was changing her clothes, and she was coming down immediately." The kind Ms. Ichikawa said to her, "If you weren't going to work part-time, Yuxia would have come with you, and she would be a few years older than you." ”

"Friends? Part-time? She couldn't help it anymore and asked in surprise, "You mean she can go out and make friends?" You allowed her to be friends with someone of this ordinary status? ”

"Yuyu." Her mother scolded her in displeasure.

Ms. Ichikawa was a little embarrassed, and at this moment, the girl slowly walked down the stairs.

The girl's pale complexion was almost transparent, her long hair was waist-high, her figure was slender and slender, her lilac three-quarter sleeved shirt was casually tied in loose white trousers, and she walked up to her with a cold and expressionless face: "Welcome to my house." ”

However, there is no welcome at all.

Fujisawa Yuyu rolled his eyes countless times in his heart, but the corners of his mouth raised a decent smile, and he greeted him in a reserved and friendly manner: "Gui'an." Lavender. ”

Who knew that the other party did not respond, but just glanced at her lightly and sat next to Ms. Ichikawa.

The second lady of her Fujisawa family has never been so despised!

Fujisawa Yuyu didn't fight anywhere, but her mother seemed to have become commonplace, gently talking to a girl named Lavender, and even holding Lavender's hand affectionately, she could see clearly next to her, when the hand was held, Lavender frowned, looking disgusted!

She felt like she was going to be angry, she came to Osaka from Kyoto, and what she saw was such a nasty ice-faced girl! And her mother, completely unaware of her bad mood, was communicating with Ice Cube Face in Chinese.

I don't know what they said, but Ice Cube got up and played a violin, but it was a violin, and the music was something she hadn't heard before.

Fujisawa Yuyu squeezed the skirt tightly with his hand, constantly slandering in his heart, but he had to admit that this ice cube face, the violin played much better than her, and that face was really exquisite, compared to her little short legs, the legs of the ice cube face were straight and slender, and the ice cube face had this beautiful manor, admiring the lavender flowers that were more beautiful than Provence every day, and the ice cube face also had a gentle and attentive friend who could be associated just by listening to the name. By the way, she can also talk to her mother in Chinese.

Ice-faced teenage ...... It couldn't be more perfect!

"I feel like I'm about to die, sir,......" said Fujisawa Yuha, leaning on the low table.

That's why I have to learn Chinese......

I smiled and shook my head.

"So, let's move on to class." I flipped through the lesson plan and tapped on the table, "Chinese is not so easy to learn." ”

——————————

Even though I already have a job as a tutor, I still work part-time at Lavender on weekends.

Instead of driving me directly to the door of Lavender Story, the empathetic Higashiyama parked on the side of Shijo Kawaramachi Road, about a five-minute walk from the café.

When Yanagi and his girlfriend were traveling abroad, the waiters in the same class included me and Qin Chuan, two part-time students, and Sho Matsubara, who was just about to become a regular student. He is a full-time waiter and has a one-month probationary period.

At lunchtime, I took out the lunch box, which was handed to me by Setsuko in front of the car door in the morning. Unwrapping the blue furoshiki with a wavy pattern reveals a two-tiered square wooden bento box, and I opened the lid to reveal the sushi inside.

Qin Chuan leaned over and sighed: "The bento boxes are so rich, they really deserve to be the Fujisawa family!" ”

"Let's do it together." I say.

"Then you're welcome!" Qin Chuan stretched out his chopsticks, grabbed a caviar sushi and ate it, revealing an exaggerated expression that could compete with a funny artist, and couldn't help but admire, "It's so delicious!" It's the best sushi I've ever had! ”

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and when I looked around, I realized that there were only two people, me and Qin Chuan.

"Where's Matsubara?"

Qin Chuan swallowed a piece of salmon sushi in one gulp, and only after chewing did he reply, "Matsubara doesn't seem to eat lunch." Leave him alone. He looked at me and frowned, "For the sake of this sushi meal, Uncle will gossip with you." ”

He didn't care if he got a response from me, and said to himself: "Do you know that the Municipal Exhibition Hall is going to hold an exhibition of Sato Aoto's paintings this time?" Oh, do you know the great painter Soto Sato? He is the uncle of this eldest lady student of yours, and of course the uncle of Yuichi Fujisawa. Seeing that I wasn't moved, he said, "Why are you reacting like this, girl, didn't you have a lot of interest in Yuichi Fujisawa some time ago?" ”

I was eating a grilled eel roll with my head buried in it, and when I heard this, my heart jumped, and I raised my eyes to see Qin Chuan smiling at me with an ambiguous face. This bad-hearted guy is making fun of me again.

"Can you not mention this man?" I glared at him, "I broke one of his computers, and I was afraid that he would ask me for compensation, so I was worried every day." ”

Qin Chuan listened, raised his head and laughed, but he didn't ignore my loopholes: "Don't fool me, if you're really scared, you won't go to his house to be a tutor." ”

This person is a goblin.

I sandwiched a light vegetable roll, lowered my head to eat it, and said in a flat, nonchalant tone: "What is this, he may not live in this house." I'm short of money, so there's no need to get along with such a high pay. ”

After listening to my words, Qin Chuan was silent for a moment, and then changed the topic: "That...... What I was just about to talk about was the matter of this son of Sato Aoto, Sato Samori. ”

Sato ...... Zesen? ”

He raised his eyebrows: "What, acquaintance?" ”

"We've met before."

——————————

It was two or three days ago in the morning, during the break after the first class, Yuha Fujisawa proposed to go out for a walk, and we walked around the outer wall of the side courtyard and then returned the same way. Yuu Fujisawa kept talking about the plot of the late-night drama the night before, and I listened absentmindedly.

A whole row of ancient maple trees cast a great shadow beside the wall, and the man came into view from the shadow of the tree around the corner. He has a well-defined and three-dimensional face, the lines are cold and hard, the shadows of the trees are mottled, reflected in the Armani gray shirt he wears, the whole person is in the light and shadow of light and shadow, the boundaries are blurred, and his body exudes an aura of indifference and alienation.

Fujisawa Yuyu stopped, bowed with his chest, and greeted him obediently: "Brother Zesen, long time no see." ”

I had already learned from Yuha Fujisawa that her cousin would be visiting her parents today. Now, her cousin, Sato Samori, who has successfully graduated from high school and is about to attend Niel City University, is in front of her.

Sato Samori nodded, and when he spoke, his voice was light: "Yuyu, you have grown taller." ”

Fujisawa Yuha tilted his head and spoke to him: "Has Brother Zemori been to Osaka recently?" Yuyu last moon seems to have seen Brother Zemori in Osaka. ”

There was a flash of emotion in Sato Samori's eyes, and he said lightly: "You are mistaken, I didn't go to Osaka last month. ”

Fujisawa Yuha looked puzzled, she tilted her head sideways: "Last month, my mother took me to visit a friend in the manor in the south, and I obviously saw Zesen's brother's car parked nearby. Brother Zessen still drives that silver-gray Porsche, doesn't he? ”

"Well, I lent the car to a friend." Sato Samori said.

"Master Zesen." Fujisawa Yuha was about to say something, not far behind us, a domestic servant came over, bowed respectfully to us, kept his head bowed, and said, "Master Zemori, Madame has been waiting for you in the tea room for a long time. ”

"I'll go right over."

"Please follow me."

Sato Samori gestured to me and left with his servant.

——————————

"Hey! Susu! Qin Chuan interrupted my memories, "I said, what are you thinking about?" ”

"Nothing." I kept my head down and continued to eat sushi.

"I know, privacy, right, privacy." Qin Chuan rolled his eyes and said in a weird manner.

I didn't say anything, but I still remembered that day, after Sato Sasawa Mori left, Fujisawa Yuha was still pondering.

——————————

"What do you think?" I asked her.

"I kind of mind." She kept a straight face and was serious.

"Huh?"

"Well, Brother Zesen doesn't look like a person with friends...... I mean, he's not close to anyone else, doesn't it seem strange to have a friend? ”

"So?"

"So, what is Brother Zesen doing in Osaka? Still hiding it from me? ”

How would I know? I sneered.

"Do you want to ask Brother Yuichi? However, Yuichi's brother doesn't necessarily know. What do you think? Mr...... Now, sir! ”

I've seen this man for a long time.

It's so close to him, maybe it's just a wall.

No matter how many times I hear his name from Yuha Fujisawa, I can't help but lose my mind a little.

Will we ever see each other again? Maybe never again.
