Chapter 13 The Debate Over Candy-Colored Macaron Models?
For the next two days, Miyaji and Miyayu still took Amaho Akina to the rooftop for dinner, and everything seemed unchanged.
On Amaho Akina's drawing board today, the subject is once again Miyau.
"Doesn't Tian Sui want to try drawing two people at once?" Miyaji asked.
His title has been smoothly changed to Tian Sui.
However, neither of them felt comfortable calling Amamiya Akina by her name directly.
Akina Amane shook her head.
"Drawing also requires inspiration and energy. At least for now, I can only complete one painting at most."
She put another macaron in her mouth: "Because lunch break time is also very limited."
Noticing the furtive glances from Miyaji and Miyayu, Akina Amaho took out a blueberry and a vanilla macaron and put them into their lunchboxes respectively.
"Tian Sui looks very troubled today."
Gong You happily picked up the macaron and put it in her mouth. Although it was a bit too sweet, it was still delicious.
Sweets can make people feel good, especially since they were given to them by Akina Amaho.
"Because I haven't been to the volleyball club for the past two days, I feel like my inspiration has suddenly dropped a lot, and I'm not used to it."
Akina Amane sighed.
Although she brought it up herself, she did indeed diligently color the painting after returning home yesterday.
But after finishing that painting, she couldn't help feeling a little empty and always wanted to paint something else.
“I’ll still come to see Tianhui on weekends, and I’ll be the model then.”
Gong You rolled his eyes.
"Besides, Tian Sui draws me the most, right? So, if I'm the only model, isn't that pretty good?"
At this point, Gong You shook his head, already convinced by his own words.
Miyaji didn't speak; he just watched quietly, waiting for Amaho Akina's reply.
"But the others are also good subjects for observation."
Amane Akina tilted her head slightly, not understanding why Miyayu suddenly said such a thing.
"I don't want Tian Sui to draw for other people."
He pouted, his tone sounding somewhat aggrieved.
“If I only paint you, wouldn’t my vision be too limited?”
Akina Amaho seemed amused by Yu's words.
How could she only draw one person?
It's not like I idolize him so much that his image is constantly on my mind, and I can easily picture him from any single frame of my imagination.
"Of course I still need to observe other people; I can't just treat you as models."
At this point, she turned and glanced at Miyaji again.
Miyaji didn't seem to have any objection to the decision, and simply nodded slightly at her.
"If you keep drawing the same person, Tian Sui's skills won't improve, right? You're being silly again."
He was speaking up for Akina Amaho.
Well, it's also possible that she wanted to get in the way of Gong You's affairs and, incidentally, gain something for herself.
Gong You indeed pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.
Akina Amaho let out a slow breath. As expected, Miyaji was easier to talk to.
Just then, the bell rang to signal the end of lunch break, and Akina Amaho stood up as well.
"I'm leaving now. You should all head back to your classrooms soon. See you tomorrow."
After saying that, Akina Amami walked down the stairs.
After Amaho Akina left, Miyako and Miyako exchanged a glance.
"Shouldn't Tian Sui care more about me as a model?"
He couldn't understand why Tian Sui had just rejected his proposal.
"You mean that you were the subject of her first painting, and you were the one who appeared most often in her paintings afterward, so you were the model she cared about the most?"
Gong Zhi rolled his eyes without any politeness.
“Yes, that’s how it should be,” Gong You said.
"Why don't you ask her who else she drew that day?"
That sketch was only found by Miyau; Akina Amaho must have drawn something else that day.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so calm.
He closed the lunchbox and stood up.
"Yu, hurry up and let's go, or you'll be late again."
Gong Zhi called out to Gong You.
"Okay, okay, I'll be right there." Gong You was still a little annoyed.
He hurriedly closed the lunchbox and followed Miyaji away.
Gong Zhi's words just now made his heart skip a beat.
What if... what if what happened that day was just a misunderstanding on my part?
Gong You suddenly felt a little like continuing to indulge in wishful thinking, but that was definitely not an option.
He decided to get to the bottom of this matter; he was certain that Amaho Akina cared more about him.
"Hey, Zhi, come with me this weekend."
He suddenly spoke.
"I'm not going. What good would it do me to go?"
Gong Zhi snorted coldly.
But then he remembered that if he went, he could have another meal prepared by Amaho Akina, and he could also avoid Miyako Yu having any contact with her alone.
He glanced back and saw that Gong You still looked troubled.
"I can buy you a box of pudding."
Gong You's voice was a little muffled, clearly indicating that he had struggled for a long time before finally saying such a thing.
"Oh, that's a good idea."
Gong Zhi agreed without leaving a trace, not wanting Gong You to discover that he had agreed without thinking.
Anyway, I can also get another box of pudding, so it's a steal.
"So, why did you ask me to come along?" Miyaji asked.
"Um... could you ask her for me who else she drew at the beginning?"
Gong You's expression was still a little awkward.
If he were to ask on his own, he could actually ask, but if Amaho Akina discovers that she has misunderstood, that would be a bit bad.
Why should I ask for you? You have your own mouth.
Gong Zhi gestured with his lips.
He had no intention of subtly inquiring about Akina Amane's situation for this guy.
"Don't you want to know if Tianhui drew you that day, Azhi?"
The two had already walked into the corridor and were almost at the classroom door.
Gong Zhi suddenly stopped and turned around.
"Then, I'll ask around for you about the three boxes of pudding."
Miyako was right; he did indeed want to know if Amaho Akina had drawn him.
However, he had no intention of helping Gong You for free.
After all, if they asked, Amaho Akina would find out that they had taken Amaho Akina's sketches and hadn't returned them to her.
"Tsk, no problem," Gong You said.
It's okay, I'll just find another opportunity to secretly eat the pudding that Gongzhi put in the refrigerator.
That's fair. Of course, I'll only eat two this time, consider it compensation for the one I ate before.
-
weekend.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
[Gong You: Tian Sui, Tian Sui, can I come over now?]
[Tian Sui: No.]
Akina Amane looked at her phone screen, slightly annoyed.
Please, eight o'clock is her wake-up time.
Fortunately, I'm up now, and Gong You's message isn't too late.
If she doesn't reply now, Gong You will probably send a lot more messages, and she will be the one who gets annoyed and in a worse mood.
After replying to the message, Akina Amaho put down her phone and tidied herself up.
Gong You, on the other end of the phone, saw the message and lowered his head in frustration.
Gong Zhi mocked him, "I already told you, if you ask her at this time, she definitely won't agree."
"How could that be? We've been up for two hours already."
Gong You was still somewhat troubled.
"Have you ever considered that her concept of time is different from ours?"
Sometimes, Miyaji really doesn't want to talk to his own dim-witted twin brother.
"That's true."
Gong You sighed and put down his phone.
An hour later, he couldn't help but send another message.
[Gong You: Tian Sui, can you come over now?]
Akina Amane took a deep breath.
She had just finished breakfast and tidied herself up, and was in no mood to entertain this person.
So she puffed out her cheeks, her brows furrowed with displeasure, and typed out a line of words.
[Tian Sui: Of course not.]
"Why is it still not working?!" Gong You wailed.
He was so excited that he dragged Miyaji out of bed early in the morning, got himself ready, and was prepared at any moment.
"Why don't you go ask again at ten o'clock?"
Miyaji shrugged, his words carrying a hint of mockery.
“You’re right. I’ll ask her again at ten o’clock.”
Gong You suddenly realized.
Gong Zhi shook his head and turned on his phone.
[Miyaji: Ignore that guy, just do things your own way.]
[Miyaji: I'll be coming with him today.]
It's better to tell her in advance, so that Akina Amaho doesn't suddenly have to take care of someone else.
Yes, and this extra person was personally told to her, which inadvertently put down Gong You.
Miyaji slightly curved his lips, while Miyayu, who was idly flipping through the paintings that Amaho Akina had given him, did not notice this rather sinister smile.
Akina Amaho also saw Miyaji's message.
She thought for a moment, and then replied.
[Ten-Sui: In that case, I will prepare a meal for you today as well.]
So, if only Miyazaki goes today, he will enjoy the delicious food prepared by Amaho Akina all by himself.
Gong Zhi's eyes suddenly sharpened; he thought, this won't do.
Fortunately, I went with them today.
-
Ten o'clock.
Gong You watched helplessly as the second hand slowly pointed to ten o'clock.
Then, right on the second, he sent a message to Amaho Akina.
[Miya Yu: Tensui, can we come now?]
[Tian Sui: That's enough.]
He stood up excitedly, grabbed his phone, and straightened his clothes.
"Alright, Zhu Zhi, come out with me. Remember to ask her if I've already given you those three boxes of pudding."
Gong You gave Gong Zhi a serious look.
"But you secretly ate two boxes of pudding that I put in the refrigerator yesterday."
Gong Zhi's tone was indifferent.
"Ah, I didn't steal it. Maybe you ate it and forgot about it, A-Zhi."
Gong You scratched his head.
Anyway, since Miyaji didn't catch him in the act, he can deny it however he wants.
Miyaji sighed wearily, deciding he didn't want to argue anymore.
-
Akina Amaho gently exhaled.
Since Miyaji is also coming, she can't make seafood rice bowls like she did last week.
So she decided to make beef tongue rice today.
She took out the beef tongue to thaw, washed the side dishes, rinsed the rice and started cooking, and then sat down to check the time on her phone.
She placed two drawings on the table: one was a colored version of Gong You's artwork, and the other was also of Gong You.
These were the two paintings she had promised to give to Gong You.
These two paintings depict Miyako smiling as he holds a ball, and Miyako eating a matcha dorayaki.
After taking it out, she sat at the table and quietly waited for the Gong family's twins to arrive.
