Chapter 56
Senior Fuji did not end up joining the tennis club.
In his words, the auras of the two sides don't quite match, so there's no need to force it.
What a pity...
When it comes to playing ball, the most important thing is to have fun. Just like if I had to face a math teacher I dislike all the time, I wouldn’t be able to stand it.
However, masters will always be warmly welcomed wherever they are. After failing to reach an agreement with the European club, the national team came knocking. The two sides contacted each other for a while, and finally Senior Fuji chose to join the national team.
When I heard the news, I was a little excited. Does that mean that Senior Fuji will spend more time in China?
The result is——
Senior Fuji is so busy that he is almost nowhere to be seen!
Maybe it was because before the national team matter was confirmed, we were together almost every day. When he became busy, I felt a little uncomfortable and it took me several days to get back to my normal state.
Then, Valentine's Day arrived.
It was Ai Li who reminded me.
It all started when I saw her intently reading a book about how to make chocolate. Out of curiosity, I asked, "Are you attracted to the new beauty in the cooking club?"
She slammed the book shut, raised an eyebrow and retorted, "No way! Nana, how could you think that of me? I just really want to improve myself...Okay, it's my sister! A new, beautiful sister! But she's not from the cooking club, she's from the archery club next door... When I first saw my sister, it felt like she was pulling a bow towards my heart, and I was instantly struck, hehehe..."
I:"……"
Help, she's smiling like a fool!
She wiped her mouth, then approached me and asked curiously, "So what are you going to do, Nana?"
"What do you do?"
I asked back in confusion.
She looked at me like I was an idiot, "It's Valentine's Day! Are you saying you're not prepared at all?"
I immediately pulled out my phone to check the calendar. It wasn't February 14th, nor was it White Day, and Chinese Valentine's Day wasn't even here yet...
I felt relieved immediately.
"Airi, are you kidding me? It's not even Qixi Festival yet..."
"Tomorrow is 520! 520! It's Valentine's Day, a very popular holiday lately. I heard it got popular in China, and the name sounds like 'I love you'... Can't you see everyone is putting all their efforts into preparations?"
I immediately looked around.
Indeed, the atmosphere in the class has inexplicably turned pink...
"No, what's so good about this kind of internet-generated festival..."
I said this stubbornly, but I felt a little uneasy inside.
Because I didn't prepare any gifts.
Nonsense, I don’t even know about this festival, what gift should I prepare?
But then I thought, Senior Fuji didn’t say anything, and he should be very busy right now, so he definitely doesn’t have time to care about such a boring festival!
Thinking of this, I straightened my back a little, and even my voice unconsciously became more resounding.
"Anyway, Senior Fuji and I won't celebrate this internet-famous festival that has no foundation or background at all!"
Airi stared at me, let out a long "eh", and then exposed me without hesitation.
"Nana didn't prepare any gifts at all!"
I felt so vulnerable, and I immediately retorted loudly, "No way! It's because Fuji-senpai is too busy. I'm an independent, understanding, and thoughtful girlfriend, okay?"
Airi gave her an expression that said, "I don't believe you at all."
Then, a text message came in on the phone.
It was Senior Fuji, who asked me if I was free tomorrow to celebrate the festival together.
My face changed drastically.
Then, he was defeated in an instant, tugged at the corner of Ai Li's clothes and begged:
"Please lend me this book! Please, it's really important to me!"
"Haha, woman."
"It's impossible to borrow it, after all, I need to cram for the exam, but I can watch it with Nana..."
*
Well, in the end I decided not to give chocolate.
As for the reasons...it would be too much to tell.
Since entering university, Senior Fuji has moved out on his own to make it more convenient for school and training, and he also used the money he saved over the years to buy a car for transportation.
After discussing it, we decided to celebrate the festival at Senior Fuji’s house so that we wouldn’t disturb others and we wouldn’t have to run around. After all, I had to go to school the next day.
The gift for Fuji-senpai was a very tall, bare plant with only a few yellowish-green leaf buds, shaped a bit like a lollipop. Don't be fooled by its appearance; it's actually a grafted rose. Once fully grown, the crown at the top will produce three or four different colors of roses.
The rose variety is called Balcony Juice. Because it is grafted with several different colors of Balcony Juice, it is also called 'Juice Splash'.
I was watching a short video before and saw the big guy's grafting video and the juice splashing after it grew out. It was really beautiful! So I was moved for a while, and I also thought that Senior Fuji would like it very much, so I came up with the idea of doing this.
When he saw the pot of plants, Senior Fuji's face showed an expression of surprise.
I accepted everything and started bragging about it. "Isn't it amazing? I grafted it myself! Even Aunt Hayami said I'm a genius! I learned it after just one look!"
Of course, I spent two whole weeks practicing pruning rose branches, and I don’t need to tell Senior Fuji about this harmless little detail.
But I'm a little embarrassed.
"Sorry, I originally wanted to wait until it bloomed, and then give it to Zhou Zhu beautifully on Qixi Festival as a surprise for you... But don't look at it because it's bare now, it will definitely look beautiful when it blooms!"
"Because there was a small accident with the gift, I didn't have time to prepare... I can only give this gift in advance..."
He came up and hugged me.
I turned off the engine instantly, and after a while I said:
"Happy Valentine's Day, Zhou Zhu?"
“…Why do you use a questioning tone?”
"Happy Valentine's Day, Zhou Zhu!"
I immediately repeated it again obediently.
This time it was in an affirmative tone.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Nana."
His voice was soft as a sigh.
His soul and body, which had hardly touched the ground recently due to his busy schedule, seemed to be at peace the moment he hugged the girl.
*
Senior Fuji went to cook, and I was opening presents in the living room.
The gift is half my size.
Wrapped tightly.
I found a pair of scissors and began to slowly remove the tape.
Then five minutes later, the gift finally revealed its full appearance -
It was a furry brown bear half the height of a man.
The smiling little bear looked honest and cute, but for some reason I thought of Senior Fuji’s always smiling face.
So cute!
And the feel is also super good, soft and slippery...
I buried my head directly in the brown bear's fat belly and rubbed it back and forth.
“So comfortable…”
*
When Fuji Shusuke came out, he saw a man and a bear hugging each other and rolling on the ground.
The girl buried her whole face in the bear's belly, murmuring words like "so comfortable" and "so cute".
“…”
By the way, wasn't she a little too defenseless?
Especially when rolling over, the school uniform top will be slightly lifted up to reveal the white and tender belly.
His eyes darkened, and he finally forced himself to look away, his tone becoming obscure.
"Nana."
"arrive!"
The girl looked up from the fur, her dark eyes sparkling as she looked at him.
"I love this gift, what a cute bear! I'll definitely hold it to sleep every day. I'll give it a name first... Hmm... Let's call it Little Bear!"
The name is Little Bear...
Are you sure this is a deliberate name?
But, so cute!
Although it was cute, he still coughed and couldn't help but remind him, "The real gift is around the neck."
He pointed to the bear's neck.
There was a silver necklace with an exquisite silver bear head on it, and the words "To Nana" were engraved on the back.
"It looks great! The bear necklace is pretty too!"
I took the necklace off the bear and tried to put it around my neck.
My hands are sore and I haven’t buttoned it yet.
Finally, it was Senior Fuji who bent down and helped me put it on.
When my hair was lifted, my neck felt itchy, and then I felt the touch of cool metal.
I couldn't help but flinch.
"I've got it on. Do you like it?"
I nodded without hesitation, then reached out and grabbed the silver bear, looking down at it to admire it.
He was completely unaware of the gaze from the person behind him, and his gaze became increasingly deep and passionate.
Nana's neck is so white, revealing an innocent feeling.
Perfect for a bite. (Nana: Huh?)
*
When Senior Fuji came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying the last of the kelp soup, I couldn't help but sigh: What a virtuous and good husband...
Of course, the above adjectives only appear in the mind.
"Hello, Zhou Zhu..."
"Virtuously?"
He automatically picked up the phone, and seeing my dumbfounded look, he added,
"Still a husband?"
Me: Huh???
No, how did he know?
Could he really read minds?
"Because of Nana's expression, it's easy to understand~"
My face immediately turned cold, "What about this?"
As long as I don't have any expression, he won't be able to read it so easily...
"Even with a cold face like this, it's cute."
I immediately lost my composure and looked at him with my tail raised to the sky, grinning, "You have quite good taste..."
"Of course. But..."
He paused, looked past me, and looked at the backpack behind me.
"I've been wondering what's in that box."
I followed his gaze and saw that the zipper of the backpack was open. It must have been accidentally opened by the rolling around just now, revealing a beautifully packaged box inside.
hiss--
I took a deep breath and subconsciously covered myself with my backpack, "No, nothing!"
Trying to turn the page calmly.
"Could it be a gift from someone else for Nana? Chocolate?"
His smile grew wider, but for no reason I felt a chill run down my back.
"It's not a gift from someone! How do you know it's chocolate..."
I showed a defeated expression and reluctantly took out the box of chocolates from my school bag.
"This is the chocolate I originally prepared for Zhou Zhu..."
I kept talking in a lower voice, and finally gave up, "Because it's so ugly! It's totally unacceptable!"
"It's too hard! I'd rather do math than make chocolate!"
In the end, he complained almost with confidence.
So enlightened...
Between making chocolate and doing math problems, I chose to do math problems.
"Can you open it and take a look?" he asked again.
I nodded.
Then he looked at Senior Fuji's expression nervously.
If he dislikes...
I'm definitely going to be pissed! For at least half a day!
He carefully opened the package, as if treating some fragile and precious treasure, revealing the chocolate balls inside. They were round and each ball was a different size (I couldn't find a mold, so I rolled them with my bare hands), and there were several crooked, crisscrossing lines in the middle.
Afraid that he wouldn't recognize it, I immediately added:
“It’s tennis.”
"Can I have a taste?"
I looked at his expression, and saw no sign of reluctance at all. I finally nodded and whispered, "Just eat it. It was originally for Zhou Zhu anyway..."
Hearing this, he picked up one.
Then he pulled it down, and the whole 'tennis ball' broke into pieces in his hands.
I was so ashamed that I wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
This is why I finally changed the gift to the Juice Splash that I had originally planned to give on Valentine's Day, because I really couldn't present it at all.
Moreover, the ones in the box are the ones I have selected and are worth looking at.
The rest... let's not talk about it.
"Zhou Zhu, why don't you just not eat...what if I..."
What if I need to call an ambulance for you?
In the middle of his words, he picked up the broken pieces that had fallen on the table and put them in his mouth.
I swallowed unconsciously and asked dryly, "How does it taste? If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to force yourself..."
He suddenly leaned forward and stopped me from speaking.
Use your lips.
Suddenly a bitter taste exploded in my mouth, so bitter that I almost lost the ability to control my expression.
Because I was worried that boys don’t like sweets, I chose dark chocolate with a higher purity.
At this moment, I only hate myself for being so unnecessary and understanding.
Now I am suffering.
He finally let me go, and his expression still looked a little inexplicably unsatisfied.
I panted slightly, looking extremely frustrated. "It's bitter! So bitter! It's more bitter than my life."
“…”
He licked the corner of his mouth, a little bit lewd.
"But I think it's sweet?"
"That's sweet, Nana. Thank you."
His smile contained a hint of barely perceptible satisfaction.
"N-You're welcome?"
No, why am I being rude to him?
