Chapter 12 A Thought



In a month, the National Tennis Championships will be here, and with it comes the new semester.

The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was clear. Jiang Nian couldn't let such good weather go to waste, so he got up early and started a new round of study.

After Jiang Nian finished three sets of papers, Sakuragi Yuzi and Chiba Hideji came into Jiang Nian's house and saw Jiang Nian studying.

Ying Muyuzi said to Chiba Shuji softly with an expression that said, "As expected, let her study first. Let's get to work first."

In the kitchen.

Qianye Xiuer frowned and said angrily, "Jiang Nian studying like this every day really makes me miserable. When will I be able to catch up with her?"

Ying Mu Yu Zi knew that Chiba Xiu Er was just complaining, so he chuckled and said, "Then go and study with her. I can do these things myself."

As he spoke, he raised the orange he was washing.

After hearing what Sakuragi Yuzi said, Chiba Xiuji said listlessly, like an eggplant hit by frost: "Forget it, I'm already very tired at home, now I should relax."

Chiba Hideji's eyes lit up, and he stopped what he was doing. He gossiped, "Do you think Jiang Nian is really that short of money? He's working so hard just to get the high prize money."

"Competitions are one way to make money. Learning is what I love, just like you love singing."

Jiang Nian's voice came from outside the kitchen, "I'm really short of money. After all, Bingdi's expenses are too high."

(My mother in Osaka asks, "Where did the money I gave you go?")

The tacit cooperation between the three people shortened the baking time of the dessert.

It was a sunny day, and three girls were sitting in the pavilion in the yard, talking about their little troubles.

Although Chiba Xiuer teased Jiang Nian from time to time, he also asked nervously at this time: "Jiang Nian, is junior high school really not in Bingdi anymore?"

"Yes, basically I won't be in Hyotei anymore." Jiang Nian said to Chiba Hideji and Sakuragi Yuzi.

The three of them sat in the pavilion, watching the clouds floating in the sky from afar, the gently swaying trees, the occasional falling leaves, and the weeds in the grass. If possible, Jiang Nian hoped that time could stop at this moment.

"The national tennis tournament will begin in more than ten days." Chiba Hideji broke the silence.

Jiang Nian had no interest in tennis matches, but he had heard that the Hyotei Tennis Club's support team was very special - very enthusiastic.

"What support items does the Ice Emperor support team have?" Jiang Nian's sudden question stopped the two people who were chatting quietly.

"It seems that there are no support items." Although Sakuragi Yuzi felt that Jiang Nian's question was a bit strange, he still answered Jiang Nian's question.

Maybe it’s just the times and age restrictions, the support team really just livened up the whole game with their mouths.

Inspiration suddenly struck Jiang Nian, and he excitedly said to Yingmu Yuzi and Chiba Shuji, "Why don't we sell posters of the Hyotei Tennis Club? I'm sure someone from the fan club will buy them."

Although Chiba Hideji and Sakuragi Yuzi were attracted to Jiang Nian's idea, they were still a little afraid of the tennis club.

After being persuaded by Chiba Hideji and Sakuragi Yuzi, Jiang Nian's idea was not extinguished but strengthened. This opportunity was fleeting and it was a one-time deal, but as long as he seized it, he wouldn't have to worry about making money for the next three years.

After Jiang Nian thoroughly analyzed the pros and cons, he repeatedly invited the two to "start a business" together.

What Chiba Hideji and Sakuragi Yuzi were worried about was the revenge of the tennis club, or rather, Keigo Atobe.

Jiang Nian was also worried about this matter, but after thinking of his cheap cousin Yuushi Ozuki, he felt okay.

"Jiang Nian, Atobe-kun will definitely not agree. I will still be studying at Hyotei later, so I won't participate." Sakuragi Yuzhi thought of Atobe's arrogance and thought to himself that he must not offend him.

Jiang Nianli understands Yingmu Yu Zi very well, and doesn't want her future school life to be smooth.

Finally, he came up with his own plan: "I'll ask Yuushi Oshizuka. It should go much more smoothly with his help. If the tennis club agrees, will you join me?"

Chiba Hideji's gossiping heart was aroused again: "If you tell me why Obusuke Yuushi helped you, I will join, even for free."

Jiang Nian's mouth twitched, and he was speechless: "Why are we talking about this again! Okay, I'll tell you after the exam."

After Jiang Nian got Qianye Xiuer's consent, he knew that Yingmu Yuzi would also agree: "Yuzi, what about you?"

Although Sakuragi Yuzi wanted to protect himself, he still wanted to participate if he had no worries: "If Atobe-kun doesn't pursue it, then I will join you."

After receiving Yingmu Yuzi's affirmation, Jiang Nian seemed to see Xiao Qianqian waving at him. After laughing a few times, he said happily, "That's great. With you joining, this thing is half done."

Jiang Nian happily ran around the pavilion for a few steps and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely solve the problem."

In the evening, Yuushi Ozuki received his cousin's invitation to dinner for the first time.

Yuushi Ozuki looked at the quarreling team members and was a little conflicted about whether to agree to Jiang Nian's invitation.

When the word "natto" reached Jiang Nian's ears, Oshizuka Yuushi made a clear promise to Jiang Nian: "I will definitely come as promised."

After getting a reply from Yuushi Ozaki, Jiang Nian began his pleasant cooking journey.

"Braised spare ribs, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, blanched Chinese cabbage, vegetable salad and delicious tomato egg drop soup, there must be one that you like." Jiang Nian thought so.

Yuushi Oshizuka saw that Jiang Nian's door was not closed, so he walked in directly. From the living room, he heard Jiang Nian humming happily in the kitchen.

Yuushi Ozuki knocked on the kitchen door, and after a moment he saw Jiang Nian open the door and bring out one dish after another.

It was not until the food was served that Yuushi Ozuki recovered from the shock of Jiang Nian's ability to cook. It seemed that his aunt's previous evaluation of Jiang Nian was not true!

Jiang Nian watched Yuushi Ozawa happily eating his meal, thinking in his heart what he could say better.

"My aunt used to say that your cooking skills were just barely passing, but now it seems that you are already very good." Yuushi Ozaki said pertinently after tasting each dish.

Jiang Nian's mind suddenly flashed with memories of his cooking exam: "The boiled pork slices, spicy chicken and other exam items made his classmates cry because of the spiciness."

"Back then I liked to make some very spicy food, but now I'm much better." Jiang Nian said with pretended modesty.

"Cousin, I need your help with something." Jiang Nian thought about it again and again, and still thought it would be best to ask directly.

Yuushi Oshizuka knew that there was no such thing as a meal without a reason. Thinking about his living expenses which were three times more than Jiang Nian's, he asked with an expectant expression: "How much does it cost?"

Although Jiang Nian wanted to give a high number directly, he still insisted on his original idea: "No, it's not that. I want to take pictures of the people in your tennis club, but I'm afraid of retaliation."
