Chapter 59
The time in high school is like being tied to a flying arrow, and it disappears in a flash.
When I received the admission notice from the Law School of the University of Tokyo, I was completely confused. I felt like I was dreaming. It was so unreal and hazy.
Will you still feel moved when you wake up? (No)
Aunt Hayami was the first person to know the news.
At that time, I was helping out in her shop. Because it was the holiday, the business of the cafe was very good during this period, so she hired part-time waiters to help.
Oh, by the way, that person turned out to be Rei Furuya who I hadn’t seen for a long time.
Now he is using the alias Amuro Toru and is working undercover.
Of course, although I knew his true identity, I pretended not to know him.
But I have a vague feeling that there seems to be something wrong with Aunt Hayami's coffee shop... Especially this shop, there are always some strange guys showing up, and the area doesn't seem to be very safe either, with murders happening from time to time.
I once suggested to Aunt Hayami with great concern that we move to a safer neighborhood, since she always got off work very late. But Aunt Hayami refused and told her not to forget her previous job.
Well, the former secret international agent... why am I worrying about this? I should be worrying about those unlucky people who want to cause trouble for her...
Ahem, sorry, I got off topic.
Anyway, when I received the text message, Aunt Hayami and I were watering the flowers in the store.
"Nana is awesome! I didn't expect she actually passed the exam... Well, to reward Nana's hard work, I have to prepare a gift for her..."
"Really?!"
My eyes lit up and without thinking much, I just thought that Aunt Zaojian would give me something I liked.
The next second, she took out a key and put it in front of me.
Could it be that...
"Here, this is the graduation present I prepared for Nana! Go learn how to drive while you're on vacation!"
She reached out and touched my head.
"Congratulations, Nana, for getting into the university of your dreams! Keep up the good work!"
I didn't dare to take the key. "Auntie, this gift is too valuable...I..."
Before I could finish, Aunt Hayami shoved the keys into my hand and said, "It's not expensive at all. This is a little gift from me. It's not a very expensive car, but it should be enough for getting around. Besides, if Nana has a car, it will be more convenient for her to go to school."
"I'm still waiting for Nana to make a lot of money so I can retire early?"
Since things have come to this, I accepted Aunt Hayami's gift.
She really made me cry!

The second person to know the news was my senior, Fuji, who was playing in a youth tournament in Europe, but given the time difference between us, he did not reply to me immediately.
Sister Xiong’s results are out too, and she was also admitted to the University of Tokyo, but in the Department of International Politics.
In her words, the Atobe family already has many business geniuses and does not need one more, but there are very few people involved in politics. She plans to find another way to make a contribution to the family.
Most importantly, she is quite interested in politics.
I was a little surprised, but I thought it made sense.
As expected of Sister Xiong, even her interests and hobbies are so unique!
Besides, we are all in the same school from now on!!
Airi, on the other hand, performed exceptionally well and was admitted to a local private university with a good academic atmosphere. The university was located in the suburbs of Tokyo, a little far from my university, but at least it was in the same city.
The holiday had just begun, and I had wanted to ask them out to play, but one of them went abroad for further studies, and the other went back to her hometown to lie down.
The result was that I got moldy at home for three days.
In the end, Aunt Hayami sent him to learn how to drive.
(@﹏@)～
Maybe I am not compatible with moving tools like cars. On the first day, I was scolded several times by the instructor because I still subconsciously stepped on the clutch and brake incorrectly after being taught many times.
He was kicked out of the car.
I had no choice but to find a stone block on the side of the road to sit down and inhale the car exhaust for a long time before the coach mercifully let me get on the bus.
Woo woo woo…
Just like that, on the third day of being mentally and physically tortured by the driving school instructor, Senior Fuji finally returned from Europe, bringing back his youth championship silver medal.
Logically, I should have gone out for dinner with him to celebrate, but this whole driving lesson has really taken a toll on me. Even in my dreams, I'm using the clutch as the brake, and getting yelled at by the instructor. I'm even hesitant to go to driving school.
"If that's the case, then I'll teach Nana how to drive!"
Knowing my situation, Senior Fuji kindly suggested.
"But, Zhou Zhu, are you really free?"
"I specially asked my coach for a month's vacation! I was originally planning to travel with Nana, but since Nana wants to learn how to drive, of course I fully support her~"
Originally, you were planning to travel with me!
So why did I have to be obsessed with learning to drive first! ?
I had a sad face and fell into deep despair and regret.
*
But to be honest, with the private "tutoring" from Senior Fuji, I get scolded less and less in the driving school. Of course, my boyfriend sighs more often as well.
After performing what was said to be a perfect and standard reverse parking maneuver, I immediately danced with excitement.
"Oh my god! It backed in! It didn't cross the line! And the car body is super straight!"
Then, as soon as I finished speaking, the car suddenly stalled like a deflated ball.
“…”
Wow, if this was a real exam, I would have failed here.
I looked at Senior Fuji cautiously, but there was no blame on his face. He just comforted me, "It's okay, Nana, try again. I believe you can still do it."
The gentle breeze and drizzle, like a spring breeze, are completely different from the driving school instructors...
In short, with the joint efforts of him and myself, I can now skillfully complete reversing into a parking space and some other required operations.
"If Zhou Zhu becomes a driving instructor, he will definitely become rich!"
After unbuckling my seat belt, I slumped down in my seat, feeling full of confidence again.
"I feel like your teaching is a hundred times better than the teachers at the driving school! Thank you so much!"
He smiled, his eyes gleaming with brilliance. "So, Nana, are you only going to thank me verbally? I finally managed to get a month's vacation from my strict instructor... but half of it was spent just teaching Nana how to drive... I'm not sure if I can get such a long vacation next time..."
There was a hint of melancholy in his tone, as if he was worried about the future holidays.
My heart tightened, and I immediately said without thinking: "Of course it's not just words!"
Then he suddenly felt guilty and looked around.
But I really had no preparation for a thank-you gift, and hadn't even thought about it... Oh my God, am I such a person?
It feels like a bad woman using her boyfriend and throwing him away after using him...
Perhaps it was because I was quick-witted, my brain was working at an unprecedented speed, and then a flash of inspiration came to me.
I took the initiative to move closer, and before Senior Fuji could react, I turned his face over and gave him a big kiss.
A rare expression similar to a computer crash appeared on Senior Fuji's face.
It seemed like he didn't expect me to do this to him. Then he realized what was happening and looked helpless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Nana, you..."
I kissed him again, successfully silencing him.
Then one bite after another.
We kissed for a long time, and only stopped when I felt it was about time.
Senior Fuji was completely stunned.
Afraid he would be dissatisfied, I immediately added, "Pay the interest first!"
“…”
He hasn't said anything yet...
However, he still tried hard to suppress his smile and quickly said seriously, "Really... Then I'm really looking forward to it~ What surprise will Nana prepare for me?"
I felt guilty again and stammered, "You'll know when the time comes!"
Senior Fuji switched places with me and took me away from this sparsely populated road and headed home.
But later I realized that, no, there was no reason for me to feel guilty... At the beginning, it seemed that it was Senior Fuji who took the initiative to say that he wanted to teach me how to drive!
Damn it, he’s got me again.

It is no exaggeration to say that I have completely mastered the tricks of driving, but I still can't take the test and get my driver's license right away.
So, I also had some free time. All day long I either went to help out in Aunt Hayami's shop or stayed with Senior Fuji. Actually, we didn't seem to do anything, just watched movies and had meals together.
Life is quite leisurely.
It just gets a bit boring after a while.
Want to go out and play!!!
But the world is so wonderful. When you are hungry, someone will give you biscuits. When you are cold, someone will give you clothes. When you are sleepy, someone will give you a pillow. When you are bored, someone will ask you to go out.
Here’s what happened—
I was helping out at the shop that day because I'd gone out early to stock up, and Amuro Toru was out delivering flowers to a regular customer, leaving me alone. Since it was a weekday, the shop wasn't crowded, so I had some free time to tend to the potted plants by the door with a watering can.
The green plants placed below were easily watered, but the plants hanging above were so hard that I couldn't reach them even after standing on tiptoe for a long time.
Damn, I hate my height!
Just as I was angrily preparing to move out the stool that was about to make me lose face, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind me.
A bony hand easily took down the hanging basin.
"Thanks!"
I turned around to thank the kind-hearted man, but unexpectedly he was none other than Senior Fuji.
"Zhou Zhu?! Why are you here?!"
The latter did not immediately answer my question about the flowers, but helped me take down some other hanging pots, placed them on the ground, and then stretched out his hand to me.
Without hesitation, I put the watering can in my hand into his.
The movements were smooth and natural, as if there was a strange tacit understanding between the two.
No, why would I give him the kettle? !
I was just about to speak when I saw Senior Fuji squat down without hesitation and start watering the plants skillfully.
There is a subtle sense of déjà vu... like the tacit understanding between an old couple...
Ahhhhhhhhhh!
What am I thinking of an old married couple!
"Nana? Nana?"
Finally, it was Senior Fuji's voice that pulled my wandering thoughts back. He was still half squatting, tilting his head and looking at me with a strange expression.
"Nana? Are you hot? Why is your face suddenly a little red?"
I:! !
I quickly touched my face and found that it was a little hot.
I swallowed, "Maybe it's too hot outside..."
Afraid that he wouldn't believe me, I pretended to fan my face with my hands.
"But, Zhou Zhu, what did you ask me to do just now?"
"There's no water left. Nana, can you help me get some water? Also, you need to loosen the soil in these pots of flowers..."
As he spoke, he picked up the empty kettle and shook it a few times.
I immediately took it and muttered, "What are you talking about? It's obviously Zhou Zhu who's helping me... Wait for me, I'll get some water right away!"
Then I trotted into the kitchen and quickly filled the watering can with water. When I came out, Senior Fuji had found a small shovel from somewhere and was skillfully loosening the soil in the flowerpot.
Every time I see Senior Fuji taking care of plants, I feel like there is a layer of gentle holy light on him.
So magical and dazzling...
Especially when his slender and powerful fingers shuttled back and forth among the green leaves, I always felt an inexplicable sense of security and warmth, and even a faint feeling of jealousy in my heart.
I'm actually jealous of the flowers and plants?!
Am I really a pervert?!
Realizing this terrifying possibility, I remained calm on the surface, but inside I was in turmoil.
So when Senior Fuji looked up and asked me curiously what was wrong, I answered without thinking -
"I want Zhou Zhu to touch me too."
Fuji Shusuke:? ?
I:! ! !
As soon as I said that, seeing Senior Fuji's eyes widen in surprise, I immediately jumped up from my squatting position and tried to explain frantically.
"No, that's not what I meant. I just saw you touching that leaf and got confused for a moment...that's why..."
Damn it! This is just making things worse...
Moreover, once I met his smiling eyes, I felt like nothing could escape his control...
I suddenly felt like a deflated ball and couldn't explain anything further.
but--
"Okay, I admit, I'm jealous of these potted plants... I don't care, Zhou Zhu can't be partial, he has to touch me too..."
Sincerity is always my ultimate weapon.
Sure enough, now it was Senior Fuji's turn to have an expression similar to mine.
Hey, you've become a fool!
"But you have to wash your hands before you touch me!"
“…”
My girlfriend is so cute, what should I do if I want to rub her?
(^^)

After the potted plants outside were ready, I brought cold drinks and small cakes to Senior Fuji.
We sat by the window, and the flowers and plants we had just been fiddling with were right under our noses, and not far away was the deserted and clean street scene.
"Didn't Nana just ask me why I came here?"
He put down the cup, held his chin with one hand and looked at me.
Me: “Isn’t it because you missed me?”
He was speechless.
Why is Nana acting more and more unconventionally...
Seeing that he didn't answer, I immediately asked again: "Isn't it?"
"......yes,"
He admitted with a smile,
"But that's not the whole reason. I came to Nana specifically to invite her to go on an adventure with me!"
"Take...a risk?"
So, Fuji-senpai is probably asking me out...
"No! Don't climb the mountain! I'd rather die than climb a mountain!"
"Nana, I'm not inviting you to go hiking..."
I breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as it's not mountain climbing, I'm fine with it."
"...Okay, then it's settled. Go back home tonight and pack your bags. Let's go on an adventure together tomorrow!"
It seems like I've agreed to something extraordinary.
