Chapter 25 The Concentration of Drawing Milk Pudding
It's Monday again.
During lunch break after class, Akina Amane was the first to arrive at the rooftop, as usual. She carried her lunchbox and a small bag containing two homemade puddings.
Well, Akina Amami decided to give the two puddings to the twins, and as for herself—she'll have sushi for this meal!
I prepared pudding separately because I didn't want to share the sushi with the other two people.
Miyaji was the first person to come upstairs this time, and he immediately spotted Akina Amaho sitting there.
"Minnai always arrives this early." He greeted the departing figure.
Akina Amane turned around and smiled at him.
"Yeah, maybe I just wanted to come up here quickly and get some fresh air, it would give me some peace and quiet."
It also allows for brief moments of self-reflection.
“Oh, that’s good too.” Miyaji nodded.
Although he didn't understand what Amaho Akina meant, it didn't stop him from nodding.
"Speaking of which, the physics teacher who usually substitutes for me came to class today," Akina Amami thought for a moment.
"Then something seemed to happen, and they called our teacher away, giving us an extra half-period of self-study time, which is really unbelievable." She shrugged.
Of course, she used her study time to draw, and her arms got a little dirty from drawing sketches.
However, she washed it after class.
"Hmm... I really wish we had these sudden study sessions too, so I could use them to sleep." Miyaji's shoulders slumped.
Is this the kind of treatment they've never received before, or is it because it's a preparatory class for college entrance that this unexpected event happened?
"You're only in your first year of high school, maybe we'll meet again someday?" Amamiya smiled, opened the plastic bag, took out a pudding and put it in Miyaji's hand.
"Here you go, this is today's portion, so don't even think about taking my lunch."
She wagged her finger.
Miyaji nodded blankly, but at the same time he couldn't help but wonder if her lunch would be sushi again.
Last time she ate sushi, she was very possessive of her food, as if she didn't want them to see it at all.
However, the pudding was also delicious, and with this pudding, he certainly wouldn't covet her lunch.
"I'm not like Yu, I won't drool over your lunch." Miyaji pouted.
"That's not necessarily true."
Akina Amane remembers that his initial compensation request was simply to have a meal with her.
As the two quieted down and prepared to open their lunchboxes, Miyako climbed up and took two strides to sit next to Amaho Akina.
He was still complaining, "Why didn't you guys wait for me?"
Today, the teacher unusually extended the class by a few minutes after class, and it was already late when we came out.
“You can’t just stand there stupidly outside your classroom, can you?” Akina Amami said.
When she came out, she also took a look at Gong You and Gong Zhi's class. The teacher in Gong You's class was going overtime.
She couldn't just stand outside waiting forever.
"Seriously... I just saw you two already opened your lunchboxes and were about to start eating! You should have waited for me to join you, right?"
Gong You couldn't very well criticize him for not waiting for him outside the classroom, since he would feel a little embarrassed if he saw it.
But he'll soon become arrogant, but someone's waiting for him. He hopes the teacher will notice and the get out of class will end soon.
However, he could understand Mina's feelings; if she didn't want to stand outside waiting, he could understand.
After all, girls are relatively more sensitive.
He thought it must have been Miyaji who instigated her to start eating before he arrived, otherwise she would have definitely waited for him.
Akina Amaho gave an awkward laugh. Actually, even if no one came up, she would have opened her lunchbox by herself anyway.
After all, no matter what, I can't miss my lunch time, especially since I'm having sushi for lunch today.
"If you don't come all noon, are we supposed to wait for you all noon?" Gong Zhi rolled his eyes without any politeness.
"How could I possibly not come for an entire noon?" Gong You was still a little angry.
Akina Amako sighed, took out another pudding, and stuffed it into Yu Miyako's hand.
"Alright, let's start eating." She smiled.
The two of them quieted down. Gong You opened his lunchbox, glanced at the pudding he had just received, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to eat first.
Miyaji made the same choice.
He was really looking forward to the taste of this pudding, so he decided to save it for last.
Seeing that the two of them had started eating, Akina Amane nodded in satisfaction, picked up a pudding and put it in her mouth, then squinted her eyes slightly in satisfaction.
Miyako was the first to notice Akina Ama's expression. His eyes drifted to Akina Ama's lunchbox out of the corner of his eye, and then he couldn't take his eyes off it.
Even the way they eat is somewhat mechanical.
As for sushi... I saw Akina Amaho eat it last time, but I didn't get to try it.
I wonder if I'll get to try it this time...
His gaze started to become somewhat fixed, which Amaho Akina couldn't stand, and even Miyaji noticed Miyayu's gaze.
"Could you please stop staring at Mina's lunchbox? It's disgusting." Miyaji had already finished his lunch and opened the pudding packaging, taking a small sip.
"I wasn't staring at her lunchbox the whole time..." Gong You pouted, reluctantly shifting his gaze back to his own lunchbox.
He was almost finished eating; there were only a few bites left.
But after a short while, he couldn't help but turn his gaze back to Akina Amaho's lunchbox.
Although Miyako knew that this behavior was extremely impolite.
But those sushi looked really delicious, and he really wanted to try them.
Akina Amaho hugged the lunchbox to her chest: "Yu-kun, no matter how much you look at it, I'm not going to share my sushi with you."
Her expression was resolute; there was no way she would share the sushi with anyone else.
If they make a request, I might reluctantly make them a meal of sushi as payment next time.
But you have to eat the good stuff first.
"So please stop staring at me and just focus on eating your pudding."
She gave a cold, emotionless smile.
Gong You shuddered, realizing that if he continued like this, Tian Suimingna would definitely get angry, so he had no choice but to obediently continue eating.
He didn't dare to try and see what would happen if he really made Amaho Akina angry.
Amane Akina then put the last sushi in her mouth with satisfaction and chewed it.
Mmm, it's so delicious! No matter how many times I make it, she always loves the taste.
After finishing her meal, Akina Amaho began to observe the other two people.
Gong You also tore open the pudding packaging, tilted his head back as if to pour the whole pudding into his mouth.
His eyes were sparkling, and his attention was completely focused on the pudding in front of him.
Akina Amane seemed to be deep in thought, then looked in the direction of Miyaji.
Gong Zhi was still eating the pudding in small bites, looking quite pleased with himself.
Akina Amazu gently clapped her hands. Watching this scene, a new idea suddenly flashed into her mind.
She excitedly pulled out her drawing board and pencils.
To capture this new inspiration, she began sketching quickly on paper.
Akina Amaho has already memorized the postures of the two people from just now. Even if they are not exactly the same, she can draw a posture that is roughly the same.
After all, she had recently become quite familiar with what the two models looked like.
Gong You had already swallowed the pudding in one gulp. His cheeks were a little puffed up from chewing. He turned his head and saw what Amaho Akina was doing.
If he wasn't mistaken, the right half of the canvas depicted his own actions just now.
Miyako was a little curious about what Amaho Akina would draw this time, but she didn't ask.
Gong Zhi was still taking small bites of pudding.
Akina Amako glanced in Miyaji's direction again, and he noticed the focused, slightly chilling gaze as well.
Miyaji knew that Akina was drawing again.
After that first glance, she refocused her gaze on her drawing paper and, with a pencil with a long lead, in a way they couldn't understand, drew a lifelike figure.
Akina Amaho's expression was focused and serious. Perhaps this is how one is when encountering something they love, as if they are shining brightly.
Even if you can't understand her or comprehend her world, at this moment, you can still understand the radiance emanating from her.
Gong You was a little stunned. He stood up first and whispered something in Gong Zhi's ear.
This was also what he really felt: "I feel like Mina is radiating light right now."
I don't know how to describe it, but it's the kind of radiance that makes people marvel at it, and it can attract others to be equally captivated by her world.
Is painting really such an act? It's as if her entire emotion can be interpreted at this moment.
Gong Zhi still had half a box of pudding in his hand. He swallowed hard and said, "Are you an idiot? How can a person glow?"
But he had to admit that at that moment, he was also attracted to Akina Amaho.
Her focus was so intense it was almost frightening, as if she were determined to do something, to achieve a goal through her art, or even to kill someone.
Gong You felt her heart pounding loudly, just like she felt after playing volleyball.
This feeling... it turns out, is similar to how I feel after playing volleyball.
At that moment, he vaguely realized that he actually liked Amako Akina in this state.
This is the first time I've felt this way so clearly.
"Why are you all staring at me?" When she looked up, Akina Amaho noticed that Yuu Miyabi and Osamu Miyabi were standing together and staring at her.
She couldn't quite understand, and simply put away the painting in her hand.
The painting wasn't finished yet, but her lunch break seemed to be coming to an end, so she decided to finish it later.
Gong You and Gong Zhi both snapped out of their daze and coughed twice.
"Because Mina was drawing and didn't want to disturb you, we ended up chatting together," Miyayu said, offering an excuse first.
Gong Zhi nodded quickly: "Yes, that's exactly it."
Now that Miyako had found a reason, he didn't need to think of anything else. Miyako, as if to cover up, poured the remaining half of the pudding into his mouth.
But both of their ears were a little red.
Amane looked at them suspiciously for a few moments, but found nothing unusual. In the end, she could only conclude that it was already December, the weather was a bit cold, and their ears were red from the cold.
