Akaji, who was called very discerning by Youguo, and Youguo, who was called very good at choosing names by Akaji, went to the pet hospital to pick up the cat together.

The 100-year-old was well taken care of by the doctors and nurses of the pet hospital, compared to the dying and skinny appearance when he first picked it up, the current 100-year-old is already a healthy and lively kitten that can jump up and down!

Youguo and Akaji arrived at the pet hospital, and the doctor took the two to the cage where the hundred-year-old was placed, and the hundred-year-old in the cage was holding a cat scratching ball to play, and Youguo bent down slightly to look at the hundred-year-old in the cage, his eyes were shining.

He couldn't help but stretch out his finger and gently put it on the edge of the cage, the hundred years old probably forgot who saved it, and shrank aside a little vigilantly when he smelled the unfamiliar smell, and then tentatively stepped forward, stretched out his small furry paw and touched Youguo's fingertips and quickly withdrew it.

"It's a little afraid of strangers." The doctor said, "But it's okay, bring it back and let it get used to the environment, and it will get used to you in just two or three days." ”

Youguo nodded in response, remembering that Akaji was also there, and let go of his body for Akaji to see: "You see?" ”

Akaji looked down at the cat in the cage.

As long as it's not too ugly, it's very cute when it's a cub, and Youguo can't resist this cuteness, it's a cat! However, Seishiro Akaji was very calm, he quietly looked at the raccoon cat in the cage, and he didn't show much coldness, but he wasn't very close either.

In Youguo asked, "How?" At the time, Akaji just made an honest and objective assessment: "It's cute." ”

Although his mouth was saying that it was very cute, but Youguo listened to his tone as if he was saying very ordinary, Youguo knew that he was just not good at expressing his emotions, so he gently touched the cat's head through the cage and said, "Uncle said you are very cute, 100 years old." ”

Before Seishiro Akaji was surprised at the naivety of Yugo learning to talk to cats, he heard Yuguo's uncle in his mouth, and a puzzled look appeared on his face.

"Uncle?" Akaji frowned and asked, "Why uncle?" ”

Youguo glanced at Akaji and laughed: "I'm a hundred-year-old 'father', so of course you're an uncle!" ”

"What else would you call it? Brother? Youguo's smile became mischievous, and he looked like he was moving his heart: "It's not impossible—if Ah Zheng doesn't mind being taken advantage of by me." ”

It is impossible for Akaji to let Youguo take advantage of such a small advantage, sighing softly, Akaji said without changing his face: "Then uncle." ”

Only sixteen years old jumped into an uncle, Akaji Seijuro is currently well accepted, and when the cat was put in the pet box by the pet doctor, the two of them bought a bunch of cat beds, cat food, and cat toys in the pet supply store on the side, and Akaji sent Youguo home as he had dozens of times before.

Yugo was also very happy to invite Akaji to come to see the hundred years old often in the future, and Akaji Seijuro would not refuse either.

It wasn't until the car slowly drove away from the apartment building where Yugo lived that Seijuro Akaji became quiet again, he was actually a quiet character, and he enjoyed himself when he was alone, but the Toda driver who was driving in front of him was the clearest to perceive the difference between Akaji who was alone and Akaji when Yugo was present.

He couldn't help but speak: "Young Master, you seem to be much happier than usual recently. ”

If Yugo was there, I'm afraid he couldn't help but slander the Toda driver in his heart

It is a typical sentence that the housekeeper often said in ancient times: "It's the first time that the young master has laughed like this!" ”

At most, the details have been changed, but the general connotation of the expression is about the same.

But he wasn't there, so Akaji, who heard this, was only slightly stunned, then turned his head to look at the figure outside the car window, the traffic was busy, and the fingers on his lap tapped lightly twice.

The driver of Toda was flustered by the quiet atmosphere in the carriage, and wondered if he shouldn't have said more, but he didn't expect to hear Akaji say, "Maybe so." ”

When he got out of the car when he got home, the housekeeper stepped forward to take the schoolbag for Akaji, and at the same time whispered, "Young master, the master is back today." ”

Akaji is the young master of this mansion, and there is no need to say who the old man is, Akaji Seijuro heard the movement in his hand, and then looked ahead and said steadily: "I know." ”

The people around quietly retreated, and there were obviously many servants in the huge villa, but at this time it seemed extremely empty.

Seishiro Akaji walked to the door of the study and knocked lightly, and a dull voice came from the door: "Come in." ”

Seitomi Akaji was sitting behind a desk made of cherry wood working on papers, when he heard the sound of the door being pushed before looking up at his son, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. There was no joy and closeness to the child on his face, only calm and almost indifferent restraint, obviously at home, he seemed to be facing a subordinate in the company.

But Seijuro Akaji is the same.

"Father, you're back." Seijuro Akaji said lightly: "How about the negotiation?" ”

"It went well." Akaji Seishiro said that there was no greeting between father and son, he closed the pen in his hand and quietly observed Seishiro Akaji, who was a few meters away from him.

He seemed to want to say something, but when he opened his mouth, it turned into another kind of cold words, and he said straightforwardly: "I have already read your report card for the midterm exam in Luoshan this time, you are still the first, continue to keep it." There's also a national tournament to start, and while I've always been a bit of a fan of you sticking to basketball, if you're going to do it, you have to do your best. ”

I don't know how many times this kind of conversation has been staged in this office, and Seijuro Akaji is used to it, so he responds to the extremely indifferent condolences of Seishiro Akaji: "I will, father." ”

The room was quiet again, and Akaji Seichen was silent for a long time before he slowly spit out a sentence similar to concern.

"How are you now...... What do you think? ”

The changes of Seijuro Akaji have been traced since the second country in Temitsu, but Akaji Seiju did not notice it at first. As the head of the family, he needs to pay attention to too many things, whether it is the family business or the tens of thousands of employees who work for the company, and because there is only so much attention, there are too few and too few Akaji Seijuro can be shared, until he finds out, Akaji Seijuro seems to have completely become a different person.

But even if it changed, it was still his son.

Seishiro Akaji didn't seem to understand what Seishiro Akaji was saying, he just smiled politely and said in a monotonous tone without ups and downs, "Everything is fine, father." ”

In fact, Seijuro Akaji didn't lie, he was indeed doing well, perhaps even more pleasant than in his last year in Temitsu.

However, he didn't think he needed to tell his father about this, and the regional competition came soon after the midterm exams.

Regional competitions

The events are all held on the same day, but the venues of the competition are different, according to the game time, Akaji Seijuro and Youguo can't see each other's games, Youguo feels sorry in his heart, and Akaji said: "It seems that I can't watch you play." ()”

Akaji shook his head, looked at the game time and said: Not necessarily.? He pointed to the time announced above, and said, "After the 400-meter freestyle final at 4 p.m., if you walk quickly to the basketball court, you can still see the second half of the game." ”

Youguo just wanted to ask why you didn't come to watch my game? But he also remembered that Seijuro Akaji was the captain of the basketball team - even if Akaji himself did not play himself, he still needed to sit on the bench and direct the game with the coach.

Pouting with some dissatisfaction, Youguo seemed to be reluctant to say, "Okay then." ”

Akaji Seijuro raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Youguo and said, "You're not happy?" ”

The tone was flat and bland, but there was a coldness, and Youguo immediately said with a lot of energy: "How come? I can't wait to see you play! ”

As soon as the words fell, a hand fell on Yugo's shoulder, and Hayama Kotaro's face poked out from behind, he also came to see the game arrangement, so it was not uncommon to meet Yugo Akaji.

"What?" Hayama Kotaro tilted his head towards Youguo: "Youguo, who do you want to see play?" ”

Youguo coughed dryly, "Look at you guys, you play together." ”

"Then I'm going to fight hard!" Kotaro Hayama was in good spirits, and a few people who stepped forward behind him: "Sister Reiyang, Nagayoshi, Yugo said that he will come to see us compete in the regional competition!" ”

Minoru Reio was half incredulous, and when she heard this, she glanced at Akaji first, and found that although Akaji had no expression, her eyes wandered around on the hand that Hayama Kotaro put on Yuka's shoulder, squinting her eyes, as if she was not very happy.

Minoru Lingyang secretly complained, although she was very cooperative, she showed a very happy look towards Youguo and said, "Really? That's great! Then he immediately made a vicious expression and shouted at Hayama Kotaro: "Kotaro, don't you know how heavy you are?" What should I do if I press Youguo? ”

Hayama Kotaro was scolded by Minoru Rei, his face was dazed, and he carefully put down his hand, "Yes, yes?" But I didn't do this often before? He turned his head and said, "I've pressed you?" Youguo? ”

Reio Shibuto: ...... It's hopeless.

glanced at Akaji quickly, Minoru Reiyang coughed twice, and Yugo also glanced at Seishiro Akaji, as if he understood something, and was about to speak, but Minoru Reio had already taken the first step to pull Hayama Kotaro away and let him stand up.

"It's before, you forgot that Youguo was sick before?" Reio Minoru said, "Really, Kotaro, although you have always been very big-hearted, you must always pay attention to the people around you, right?" ”

What Reio Minoru said was very reasonable, in fact, there was something in the words, but Hayama Kotaro only looked at it from the most superficial meaning, and thought that he was talking about the fact that he would be pressed against Yuka, who was still weak because of his previous illness.

He grabbed his hair, as if he didn't understand, although it was strange that the after-effects of the fever lasted so long? But he still obediently let go, and no longer hooked up with Youguo.

"I see." Hayama hung his head and said, "Not in the future." ”

Reio Minoru was a little unbearable, and silently added in her heart: Kotaro, I'm also thinking about you.

Kota Hayama

Lang didn't know yet, but after a long time, he reacted and probably thanked Reiyang Minoru for helping him at this time.

Soon it was time for the regional competition, and the swimming club and basketball club were arranged by the school to go to the regional competition venue by different school buses, because the cars were parked together, so after getting off the bus, Akaji and Yugo met in front of the bus without surprise.

Both of them wore their own team uniforms, the team uniforms of the basketball club were blue and white, and the team uniforms of the swimming club where Youguo was located were black and white. ”

Seishiro Akaji said incomprehensibly: "It's hard not to be like the unified customization of the school." ”

Youguo: "...... It's sometimes boring to talk to you, Ah Zheng. ”

Seishiro Akaji was stunned, and then frowned, he didn't quite understand, so he asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Youguo thought that I wouldn't tell you, so he raised a smile and said, "I can't explain this, you guess for yourself." ”

Seishiro Akaji therefore went to the competition venue with a lot of questions, because there was still some way to go from the venue, and the basketball club and swimming club still had to go some way together.

Akaji and Youguo both walked at the end of the team, and the coach who led the team walked in front, compared with the somewhat nervous and excited atmosphere in the swimming club, everyone in the basketball club where Akaji was in a relaxed mood.

According to Luoshan's past record, the regional competition is just a test of the water for Akaji, so it is normal to be so relaxed, and Netakeya Nagayoshi is even eating a hamburger, according to his words, he didn't have time to eat enough to catch the school bus this morning, so he can only replenish his energy now.

Akaji didn't stop either.

The people in front of them each do their own things, and Youguo and Akaji are left behind and have a conversation that they don't match, and Youguo mentions the cat at home, and excitedly compares the size of Akaji with his hand.

"It's grown a little bit now." Youguo squinted and smiled, "When I brought it home, it was only the size of a palm, but now it is the size of two hands combined." ”

Akaji nodded lightly and said softly, "You have raised it very well." "The eyes were misplaced on Youguo.

Yugo walked closer to him and took out his phone to show Akaji a picture of the cat.

"Uncle it, look how cute it is." Yugo leaned in with a teasing smile, leaning his shoulders together and his head closer, Yuguo's breath falling gently on Akaji's face.

It seems to be unintentional, but it seems that every detail is very intentional, and Seishiro Akaji can't tell the difference, but he is in a happy mood, as if a bird has landed on the tip of his heart and is jumping around gently.

The moment he approached, he almost forgot that he should look at the photo of the 100-year-old on the phone screen, and he looked at Youguo's light-lit side face, long curly eyelashes, straight nose tip, fair and smooth face, and pale red lips...... There are also tiny hairs on the skin that are almost transparent.

Until Youguo raised his eyes and asked him, "Is it good-looking?" Akaji's gaze shifted in embarrassment.

"Beautiful." He replied somewhat absent-mindedly.

Yugo didn't seem to notice the perfunctory tone of his answer, and the two teams had already reached the point of separation, and Yugo suddenly reached out and grabbed Seijuro Akaji's fingertips before leaving.

For a moment, Akaji felt that his finger that was being grabbed by Yugo was hot as if it had been burned by fire, and he seemed to inadvertently hook his finger without letting go.

Akaji's face was stiffened, and his eyes were much darker.

"What's wrong?" Seishiro Akaji pretended to be unintentional.

"You're playing well." Yugo looked up at him, and reached out to dust the non-existent neckline for Akaji.

"When we win the championship, how about we take a group photo together?"

This is an extremely good offer, and of course Seijuro Akaji will not refuse.

He was silent for two seconds, then said, "Okay." ”！
