Chapter 8 Matcha Dorayaki - This is a specially made dessert.
Back home, Gong You still couldn't settle down. His phone screen lit up and then went out. Luckily, the bedroom lights were still on, otherwise, the annoyed Gong Zhi would definitely have gotten up and slapped Gong You.
Hmm, if I send Tian Sui a message at this time, she should reply, right?
Gong You didn't know why he wanted to send a message to test the waters; it was probably just out of boredom.
[Miya Yu: Is Tensui there? Is she there? Is she there?]
[Tian Sui: ?]
[Gong You: Just curious]
[Tian Sui: What are you curious about?]
Can't this guy just say what's on his mind?
Fearing that Miyako would continue to bother her, Akina Amami only turned on her phone when she heard it vibrate. She had just come out of the bathroom and was drying her hair.
[Tenho: If Yu-kun is just here to talk nonsense, then allow me to reply later.]
After saying that, Akina Amane turned off her phone screen and sat down to dry her hair peacefully.
Gong You stared blankly at his phone, tapped the screen, and sent another message.
[Miya Yu: Actually, I wanted to know beforehand what kind of painting Tian Sui was sending...]
Perhaps he couldn't wait for Sunday, even though it was only Monday night.
And naturally, there was no reply to this question, because Akina Amaho hadn't even looked at her phone.
Gong You pursed his lips and tossed his phone aside. Well, he didn't need to keep staring at his phone to see if she had replied.
Ultimately, sending this kind of message is rather inexplicable.
He didn't know what had happened to him these past two days.
Logically speaking, he probably wouldn't have a very good attitude towards Amaho Akina, but he still paid attention to her and convinced himself of it.
Forget it, I'll just ignore it.
He tossed and turned in bed like that, and before he knew it, he had fallen asleep.
I didn't even notice that the phone screen lit up for a moment.
[Tian Sui: It's a secret. If the answer is revealed at the beginning as a surprise gift, then it's no longer a surprise, is it?]
After finishing drying her hair, Akina Amane tilted her head slightly as she looked at the sentence.
In her opinion, Gong You was probably just making conversation. They really didn't have anything to talk about.
Despite her initial frustration, Akina Amaho still replied with a message.
She picked up the sheets of paper and looked at them, then chose the one she thought was the best sketch, deciding to outline and color it when she returned tomorrow.
If you were to carefully outline and color it, it would probably take half a day. The one I gave to Miyaji last time wasn't very well finished; she didn't add any detailed shading or lighting.
Since this is a formal gift, I should finish drawing it properly.
Akina Amaho picked up a fine-tipped pen and began to trace the face drawn on the paper.
-
The next day, it was the same boring class as usual.
Akina tidied her desk, picked up her lunchbox, and prepared to leave the classroom as usual. But before she left, she paused.
Through the window, she saw a golden head and a silver head running towards her.
Don't they know you can't run in the corridor? Is nobody going to do anything about this? Akina Amako frowned in confusion.
But she still walked out the front door and saw Gong You and Gong Zhi hurriedly stop in front of her.
Akina Amaho nodded, as if to say hello.
Then she took the initiative to ask, "Are we going to the rooftop together today?"
The twins nodded together.
Amamiya took a slight step back and walked behind them. She wasn't used to having someone follow her, let alone two people, both of whom were watching her with barely perceptible gazes.
Most importantly, she gets a little nervous when she hears those two distinct footsteps.
Miyayu was a little confused about what was going on with Amaho Akina following behind, so he turned around and took a second look.
Aren't you coming with us?
Akina Amaho was about one or two meters behind them.
“I am indeed following you guys.” Akina Amaho shrugged.
She prayed silently that the two people would hurry upstairs, as someone had already noticed them.
"Let's hurry up, Yu. Tian Sui said she doesn't really want to get close to the campus star, right?" Gong Zhi gave Gong Yu a push, urging him to quicken his pace.
Miya Yu was forced to quicken his pace to keep up with Miyaji, and he kept looking back at Amaho Akina, to the point that his steps became a little shaky.
Of course, he wanted to check if Amako Akina had caught up.
He seemed to have thrown away the thoughts that had been troubling him the night before, and now his mind was preoccupied with other things.
"Can you please stop looking back at me all the time, Yuu-kun? I told you I would keep up with you guys." Akina Amaho sighed.
She felt that she had to be extremely careful when interacting with the brothers, as it was quite tiring.
Well, although Miyaji initially left a very good impression on her... now she's starting to find him a bit annoying too.
They went up the stairs, and Miyako, following Amaho Akina's advice, shrugged and stopped looking at her.
After all, this tone that sent chills down one's spine was exactly the same as hers yesterday at noon.
We finally arrived at the rooftop.
There was no wind on the rooftop today, so Gong You casually picked a spot to sit down, then patted the spot next to him and looked at Tian Sui Ming Nai.
Akina Ame-ho doesn't know why she has to eat between these two brothers.
But at least they maintained some distance from each other; they didn't actually sit together and kept a certain distance between them.
She also sat down next to Gong You, but they were only half a meter apart.
Miyaji then sat down next to Amaho Akina; well, it seemed he didn't want to sit with Miyayu.
Akina stared at him intently until Miyaji wore a puzzled expression.
"I'm curious, Zhi-jun's attitude is different from when I saw him a couple of days ago."
It wasn't just a little different; it was completely different. Akina was curious about what had caused such a change in Miyaji.
"Ah, after all, we weren't familiar with each other when we met a couple of days ago." Gong Zhi shrugged.
He didn't expect to continue contacting them afterward, so that day he simply treated everyone else with a completely different attitude than Gong You.
Akina Amaho nodded, as if she understood.
Yes, it's no wonder I was so nervous that day, because we were both keeping a serious attitude, and neither of us was truly relaxed.
Miya Yu had already opened his lunchbox; he didn't interrupt the conversation between Amaho Akina and Miyaji.
After asking the question, Akina Amazuki also opened her lunchbox. Today, her lunchbox contained the same seafood rice bowl that Miyaji had eaten over the weekend, with two matcha dorayaki pieces on the side.
Miyaji was the first to notice the two pastries.
This is a delicious dish made by Akina Amane, and what's more, the taste of the seafood rice bowl is already enough to attract him.
However, since Akina had already fainted due to low blood sugar yesterday, he couldn't very well ask her to share her dorayaki with him again.
Gong Zhi could only swallow his saliva quietly, and silently turn his head to look at the curry rice, which should have smelled delicious, but looked rather ordinary next to the seafood rice bowl.
Yes, because the curry rice that Amaho Akina ate yesterday smelled really good, they begged their mother to make curry rice for them.
At the same time, a soft swallowing sound came from the right. When Miyaji looked over, he found that Miyayu was also staring at Akina Amaho's lunchbox.
Akina Ama scooped a spoonful of seafood rice and put it in her mouth.
These two pastries next to me were actually prepared especially for the twins, as a thank you for the food I bought for them yesterday.
There needs to be give and take.
But seeing them all swallowing their saliva in unison, their eyes darting around, yet not daring to make a move, I found it inexplicably a little funny.
She couldn't possibly eat snacks as a main course, so this wasn't prepared for her at all.
Akina Amaho slowly raised her head, first looking to her left, while Miyaji ate his curry rice without any appetite.
Looking to the right, Gong You was poking at his rice with chopsticks, muttering something under his breath.
Hmm, it's probably saying that I need to hold back or something.
She picked up the two dorayaki pieces with both hands and then placed them into the two lunchboxes equally.
"Ahem, to thank you for taking me to the infirmary yesterday and treating me to dinner, I specially made these two snacks for you today." Akina Ama clapped her hands.
Sure enough, the eyes of the two people on either side lit up again.
"Thank you, Tensui-kun." Miyaji nodded with a touch of reserve.
Meanwhile, Gong You couldn't wait to stuff the matcha dorayaki into her mouth.
For desserts, a slightly cooled temperature is just right; the sweet taste spreads in your mouth instantly, along with the sweet aroma of cream, yet it's not greasy at all.
After Gong You finished eating in one go, he still showed a slight regret on his face, clearly wanting to eat another one.
"This is delicious, thank you, Tensui." He was still savoring the taste in his mouth, and he didn't forget to thank Tensui Mina.
Well, if Miyaji hadn't said something, Miyayu probably wouldn't have noticed that.
Akina Amako doesn't really care about this polite way of speaking, but it makes her subconsciously nervous.
"It's alright, as long as you enjoy your meal. I already tasted it before coming to school, and it was indeed very good." She smiled slightly, her eyes crinkling.
However, the way Miyako's eyes light up when she's happy... really makes you want to record it.
With that in mind, Akina Amane quickened her eating pace.
She didn't have a big appetite, but she ate very quickly and finished everything in her lunchbox.
Unlike other Japanese girls who eat very little in front of others in order to maintain a certain image, she doesn't.
Besides, she's mixed race, why should she care about these things?
Akina Amane knew very well that she needed to devote all her energy to painting, so she could only do so when she had the strength and energy.
Miyaji noticed that she was eating faster. He was about to ask Amamiya if she was in a hurry to leave, but then he saw her take out her drawing board and turn her body slightly to face Miyayu.
Gong Zhi's expression turned cold.
Akina Amane was unaware of the change in Miyaji's emotions behind her. She simply took out a pencil, recalled Miyayu's expression just now, and compared it with Miyayu's current appearance, sketching the scene from her memory.
Fortunately, this attempt was successful. She was no longer limited to copying and could finally produce something presentable. Amamiya breathed a sigh of relief, happy with her progress.
"Huh? What's wrong? Is Tian Sui drawing me?" Gong You still had a mouthful of rice in his mouth.
Although he was curious, he didn't go over to take a look at that moment.
He still cares a lot about his reputation.
“Yes, thank you Yu-kun for the inspiration.” Akina Amaho nodded, her expression filled with pure joy.
It only takes the time it takes to paint a picture to transform a person from a gloomy figure after class to one radiant with sunshine.
Gong Zhi opened his mouth, as if to say something.
But before he could even speak, the bell rang.
Akina Amane's eyes widened slightly: "Ah, lunch break is almost over, I have to get to the classroom first."
After hurriedly saying goodbye to the two people, she walked quickly downstairs.
Gong Zhi could only stare at her disappearing figure before turning around and saying to Gong You without any politeness, "You idiot, eat faster, we're going to be late soon."
"If you don't have time, just go ahead." Gong You waved his hand.
With a soft click of his tongue, Gong Zhi also walked down the stairs. He seemed to be chasing after a figure ahead, or perhaps he was simply walking down to his classroom.
