Time slipped by unnoticed. Under the careful guidance of his beautiful teacher, Yuzuru learned until he was covered in sweat, but he remained enthusiastic.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Go back and think about today's moves carefully, and we'll continue tomorrow."
Seeing her apprentice finally making some progress, Ikeba Shizuka breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking that she was really not suitable to be a master.
It seems there are no unlearnable students, only unskilled teachers.
She released her grip on Yuzuru's arm, took a step back, and then gently raised her hand to take out a handkerchief embroidered with a beautiful pattern from her waist. She handed it over and said softly, "Here, wipe your sweat."
"Thank you, Master! You're so kind!"
Yuzuru took the handkerchief with a smile, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then casually put it into his pocket.
Chibo Jinghua noticed this action, her red lips parted slightly as if she wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it. She just reminded her again: "When you go back, don't be lazy. You have to practice the basic movements more."
As a mentor, she is very qualified.
"Don't worry, Master, I definitely won't slack off," Yu Shengnan assured him confidently.
The two packed their things and walked out of the monastery side by side. The night outside was as dark as water, like a soft veil covering the earth.
The midnight bells have already begun to toll.
"Master, let me take you back."
Yuzuru Hanyu was exceptionally attentive, quickly walking over and opening the door of the car waiting outside the park.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Yuzuru."
Knowing that her apprentice's identity was not simple, Chibo Jinghua did not refuse, nodded slightly, and got into the car.
Yuzuru closed the car door and quickly ran to the other side to get in.
Along the way, he kept talking about his feelings about today's training, looking very happy and excited. Ikeba Shizuka listened patiently to her student's words, occasionally interjecting a few words.
Soon, the car stopped in front of Ikeba Shizuka's house.
"Master, we've arrived," Yu Shengnan said softly.
Ikeba Shizuka nodded, preparing to get out of the car, but then stopped and turned to look at Yuzuru Nan, "Be careful on the way back, and remember to think about the techniques I taught you before you go to sleep."
"Master, rest assured, your disciple will follow your teachings."
As Yuzuru spoke, he playfully winked.
After getting out of the car, Ikeba Shizuka stood quietly at the front door, looking up at the boy who was almost leaning half his body out of the car window and waving goodbye to her enthusiastically. The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing an incredibly gentle smile.
That smile was like the gentlest spring breeze, softly dispelling the melancholy that had accumulated in the corners of her eyes for days.
She smiled, raised her hand, and waved gently, her gaze following the car as it gradually drove away until it disappeared from sight.
Only when the car was completely out of sight did she slowly lower her arm, turn around, and step into her home with light steps.
"I may be a little slow, but being diligent and eager to learn is enough."
After taking a shower, Shizuka Ikemura lay lazily on the bed, wearing loose and comfortable pajamas.
Recalling everything that had happened that night and the silly apprentice who had suddenly barged into her life, she couldn't help but chuckle softly. She stretched her limbs with a happy feeling, and then slowly closed her eyes.
For Ikeba Shizuka, this was the night she fell asleep the fastest in recent days.
...
On the other side, inside the spacious and comfortable car.
Yuzuru leaned back comfortably in the soft chair, his slender fingers fiddling with the exquisite wooden sword in his hand.
With a thought, three more small characters appeared on both sides of the sword hilt.
The characters "羽生" (Yusheng) have been added below Chibo, while the character "楠" (Nan) has been added below Jinghua.
"Yes, that's more like it!"
Yuzuru admired his masterpiece and nodded in satisfaction.
If there's a master's name, how can there be no disciple's name? The master and disciple are an inseparable entity.
Tonight's apprenticeship plan was entirely a spur-of-the-moment decision. He had originally planned to let things take their natural course and gradually get closer to this beautiful woman.
Now that's great, they've become master and apprentice, the distance between them couldn't be closer.
However, at this moment, Yuzuru was somewhat troubled.
A pure and simple young man like himself has always respected his teachers and elders, and would never do anything to disobey them or disrespect the school.
"Sigh, I can't really become a traitor..."
Yuzuru sighed, looking troubled, but the smile he couldn't hide at the corners of his mouth betrayed his true feelings.
The white silk is truly baffling!
"Young Master, where to next?"
"Back to the hotel."
"yes!"
...
Nothing was said that night.
The next day, Yuzuru woke up from his sleep, put away the wooden sword beside his bed, had a simple breakfast at the hotel, and then headed to the Kazuha family.
After spending the night together, Ginjiro and Sakura gave their daughter a loving and heartfelt lecture, and finally understood her true feelings.
He Ye threw a tantrum, her attitude resolute: she would marry no one but him.
There was no other way; they only had this one precious daughter, so the couple had no choice but to agree.
At the same time, their attitude towards Yuzuru Hanyu became increasingly friendly and cordial.
The main reason is that Yuzuru Nanami is indeed outstanding and sensible, with impeccable manners and a great deal of doting affection for his daughter. Compared to Hattori Heiji next door, who only has his eyes on cases, his slightly flirtatious nature doesn't seem so unacceptable.
