Chapter 48
"What?... So you're just here to visit Fuji... I thought you were living together and got really excited for a while..."
Kikumaru Eiji's eyes moved back and forth between me and Senior Fuji, and his tone sounded a little regretful.
No, buddy, what are you regretting?
Besides, even if we were living together, it wouldn't be your turn to be excited...
No, how could I have such a terrible thought of "living together with Fuji-senpai in the future"?
Senior Fuji beside me smiled more and more brightly, while I was immersed in my own regretful thoughts. Senior Kikumaru was still recklessly expressing his regrets about cohabitation, and only Oishi Shuichiro was worried sick.
Stop it, Eiji! You don't want to show up at the tennis club tomorrow?!
To offend Bu Er is a hundred times more terrifying than to offend the minister and the coach!
So he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Hey, Fuji, how are you feeling right now? This is the first time you've taken sick leave and missed training, so the coach and everyone else are really concerned about you..."
As he said this, he placed the bag of fruit on the table to block the other person's sight, although it seemed to be in vain.
"And one more..."
He suddenly remembered Gan's instructions and quickly took out a bottle of green suspicious liquid from his bag.
"I made this juice specially after hearing about your illness. It's said to be very effective in restoring your spirits!"
I:"……"
Wouldn't this really make Fuji-senpai's illness even worse?
Thinking back to the people who were knocked down by the dry juice that day, and senior Fuji who held on to the last sip but was still knocked down and unconscious for the whole afternoon, my heart is filled with worry.
But Senior Fuji seemed to be fine. He even picked up the bottle of dry juice with interest, "Is it the new flavor of dry juice? It looks pretty good... After you go back, I will definitely taste it tonight and give feedback to the senior..."
"Then I won't send you off!"
Eh? Is Fuji-senpai trying to chase us away?
I was stunned, then looked at the two seniors in shock. Sure enough, their expressions changed and they seemed unhappy (?).
That’s too direct!
I was just about to step forward to smooth things over when the timer I set in the kitchen rang. An idea suddenly struck me, and I took the initiative to say, "Since you're here, I just made some ginger soup. You two seniors can have some before you leave. If you're sick, it can dispel the cold; if you're not, it's better to prevent it!"
Senior Oishi breathed a visibly relieved sigh. He had just finished saying thank you when his eyes met Fuji's half-smile. He was about to change his words and politely decline when Kikumaru Eiji spoke first:
"Great! Did my junior sister make this herself?! We came at the perfect time! The weather has been a bit unpredictable these past few days, and I feel like I'm on the verge of catching a cold..."
This is not the right time at all! This is not the right time at all!
But his partner had already said what he thought, so he didn't know what to say. He just wanted to finish the ginger soup quickly and leave the house.
I trotted to the kitchen and gave each of them a bowl of ginger soup.
The plain white porcelain bowl was filled with a brown, transparent liquid that was still steaming, and a faint scent of ginger could be smelled.
The color, smell and fluidity are normal. It looks like a bowl of ginger soup that is as ordinary as it can be.
"Seniors, please use it! Even though this is my first time, trust me, I've simulated it in my mind many times... there will absolutely be no problem!"
I said so, and looked at the three of them expectantly.
The first one to move was Senior Fuji. He took a sip with a spoon, curled his lips slightly, and said directly: "Hmm, it's really good... It feels like there is no astringency from ginger at all..."
I kept staring at his face and found that his expression was as gentle as ever, without any sign of reluctance. My uneasy heart finally settled down.
"Of course I put a lot of sugar in it, so it's sweet!"
"Nana is awesome! She seems to have the talent to become a master chef..."
He also gave me a thumbs up.
"Hey, Zhou Zhu, don't praise me like that..."
It makes me feel a little embarrassed, but what I really think is, I prefer to listen more than to talk!
But after all, there were still two seniors there. I glanced at them from the corner of my eyes and saw that they had an expression of "I just want to watch you show your affection here" and lowered their heads a little embarrassedly.
"Senior Oishi and Senior Kikumaru, please give it a try!"
Seeing that Bu Er was fine, the two of them felt relieved and took a bite each, and then their expressions froze instantly.
Wait, could she have put salt in there instead of sugar?
Oishi was the quickest to react. In a split second, he covered Kikumaru Eiji's mouth and said, "It tastes really good, sweet, but Eiji doesn't like sweet things. This level of sweetness is a bit too much for him, so he lost his composure. But please don't mind. This is not the schoolgirl's problem, it's Eiji's own problem! Anyway, the ginger soup is delicious. It even makes me feel warm after drinking it!"
"Mmmmmm?!"
--Oishi, what are you doing? It's so salty... Let me go! My mouth is going to explode!
Dashi immediately whispered devilishly in his ear, "Do you want your mouth to explode today, or your training to explode tomorrow? Didn't you see Fuji's expression? Remember what happened the last time you offended him?!"
Yes, he recalled some not-so-good memories.
He just casually commented that the junior girl was very pretty and wondered if she had a boyfriend and whether he could pursue her. As a result, the next day, the coach doubled his training volume at Furu's suggestion.
Now that I think about it, this guy Bu Er is very petty whenever it comes to things related to his schoolmate!
Everything has been traced since a long time ago...
Kikumaru had no choice but to nod with tears in his eyes and reluctantly swallowed the ginger soup that was saltier than all the salt he had ever eaten in his life.
It's really salty, saltier than his life...
So that's how it is, Senior Kikumaru doesn't like sweets.
I silently noted this incident.
"It's okay, Kikumaru-senpai, please don't push yourself and don't drink the rest!"
I said with a blink of my eyes, and sure enough, I received a grateful look from the big cat.
"Nana-chan——you really are an angel——"
"But if that happens, it would be a waste of Nana's kindness..."
Senior Fuji suddenly spoke, his eyes fixed on Daishi.
"Are you right, Oishi..."
Oishi:......
Okay, after all the twists and turns, someone has to suffer...
"Actually... no need, I didn't spend much..."
Before I could even utter the word "Kung Fu", I saw Senior Oishi finish the bowl of ginger soup in front of him in one gulp, and then finished the bowl in front of Senior Kikumaru.
Oh my god, Senior Oishi, you really love me.
Me: "Senior, I have some left in the kitchen. Do you want some more? It's so delicious! I'll have to try my own cooking later... Eh? Senior Oishi, why do you look so pale?!"
*
The takeaway I ordered finally arrived, but the delivery man seemed to be lost, so I volunteered to go out and find him. But when I came back with the takeaway, seniors Oishi and Kikumaru had already left.
"That's strange, but I didn't run into the seniors on the way back..."
Senior Fuji simply said, "Maybe they went in another direction."
"All right,"
I accepted this, but when I walked into the kitchen to make myself a bowl of ginger soup, I was surprised to find that the pot was empty and even clean.
"Zhou Zhu, Jiang Tang you..."
He smiled and said, "Because it tasted so good, I drank it all, Nana~"
It's like he's asking for praise.
I was touched by the cuteness!
"Then as a reward, I'll make you another pot of ginger soup for tomorrow!"
Fuji Shusuke:?
Is this sweet burden unnecessary?
*
After finishing dinner, I didn't rush to leave because Aunt Hayami said she could pick me up after the store closed, so I took the opportunity to finish some homework at Fuji-senpai's house.
Because it was a single table, Senior Fuji kindly gave the table to me, and he sat on the floor with a wronged look on his face, using the bed as his table.
His tall body could only bend down and curl up beside the short bed, looking a little pitiful for a moment.
"Zhou Zhu, have you decided what major you want to study in college?"
I suddenly asked, turning sideways to look at him,
"Shousuke is already in his third year... It's time to think about college..."
The boy also looked back at me, his blue eyes filled with gentle light.
He thought for a moment before slowly speaking, "If I were to choose a major, I'd probably choose medicine."
I was a little surprised to hear this answer.
After all, I thought he would choose some majors related to photography, or choose some related sports schools with the goal of playing professional tennis in the future...but I didn't expect it to be medicine.
However, Fuji-senpai is thoughtful and has a strong learning ability. He will definitely become an excellent doctor in the future... Moreover, Fuji-senpai's hands must look very handsome when he holds the scalpel.
Thinking of this, my face heated up. I realized I was unconsciously staring at his hands again, so I immediately looked away awkwardly and stammered, "Oh... This is really a bit surprising... I thought Zhou Zhu would choose to play professional tennis!"
"Does Nana really want me to play professional tennis?"
"I should ask Zhou Zhu this question,"
I paused.
"Does Zhou Zhu want to play professional tennis?"
As far as I know, that guy Ryoma Echizen is about to play professional tennis.
"But if I become a professional tennis player, I'll be away from Nana less and less... Nana will get lonely, right?"
Indeed, if you want to play professional tennis, you will inevitably have to travel around the world to participate in competitions.
I didn’t expect that Zhou Zhu was worried about this?
I immediately said, "I'm not lonely at all. I have a lot of things to do, okay? If Zhou Zhu wasn't here, I would definitely go to school, the store, and home every day, studying hard... Besides improving my math grades, I also have to do other subjects... eh?"
Before I could finish my words, I was pulled down from my seat by an irresistible force, and fell steadily onto...Fuji-senpai's lap?
Eh?
I looked up in surprise and met Senior Fuji's eyes that had suddenly opened. His ice-blue pupils were filled with sharpness and edge, as well as a barely perceptible hint of anger.
He was so close to me that I could even feel his hot breath brushing against my cheeks and ears, hot and itchy.
However, this posture is too ambiguous!
And, is he angry?
Damn, did I say something wrong?
"Nana, when you say that, it makes me feel like it doesn't matter to you whether I'm by your side or not."
As he spoke, he buried his face in the crook of my neck, his tone a little muffled.
It seems like I'm feeling wronged...
*
Afraid of infecting the other person with the disease, Fuji Shusuke resisted the urge to kiss that chattering mouth and instead gently bit her earlobe.
Soft.
"Uh uh... Zhou Zhu... That's not what I meant..."
I was shaking like a frightened rabbit, but he held my hands tightly behind my back, and from the outside it looked like he was holding me in his arms. I could only stammer,
"It's so itchy... I, I mean, I don't want to hinder Zhou Zhu from doing what he wants to do..."
"Ah! Zhou Zhu, why are you...licking!"
....
Later on, I was so embarrassed that I couldn't even speak.
But this doesn't stop me from twisting left and right, twisting like a maggot, and then, keenly aware of some changes, I immediately freeze.
After a moment, he finally let me go.
"Nana, are you still moving around?"
I was completely frozen and didn't dare to move.
"I don't dare to move, Zhou Zhu, don't move either."
I paused, my eyes wandering around, but I didn't dare look directly at Zhou Zhu.
"Um, can I get up first?"
So, there's a reason why I hate energetic high school boys!
