On the high-speed train to Osaka, Kotoko Oshizuka wore a white T-shirt and black pants, which was the same Kotoko outfit as Jiang Nian.
The bag contained the food Jiang Nian had packed and a scarf given by Jiang Nian's grandmother.
On her wrist was a birthday gift from Jiang Nian.
There weren't many people riding on the bus on Sunday night, but there weren't a lot either.
The happiness that Kotoko Oshizuka got today was enough to keep her happy for a long time.
Thinking of Jiang Nian's expression when he gave her a gift, and the care he showed her when he packed food for her, all of Kotoko Oshizuka's emotions came together.
Kotoko Oshizuka asked the flight attendant for a piece of paper and wrote down her feelings on it.
After Jiang Nian saw her mother off, she felt a little down compared to when her mother was here. However, when she opened the gift her mother brought, tears began to fill her eyes.
All the gifts were based on Jiang Nian's interests, including exercise books, future textbooks, clothes, etc.
What Jiang Nian liked most were the study notes that his mother brought with her. These were enough for Jiang Nian to refer to until he graduated from high school.
Jiang Nian didn't expect that such a thin mother could actually carry so many things from Osaka to Kanagawa.
"I must make good use of it and not let my mother's hard work go to waste." Jiang Nian made up his mind.
on Monday.
After arriving at school, Jiang Nian finally felt the benefits of being close to the school.
It is such a blessing to be able to save half an hour to practice English listening.
…
With day after day of hard work, Jiang Nian finally sorted out the timing, events, and significance of Japanese history.
The study of other subjects is naturally also progressing in a planned manner.
Putting aside Kirihara Akaya's academic performance, his tennis skills have improved by leaps and bounds.
But Jiang Nian didn’t understand why Yamato Kota occasionally looked at him provocatively.
This situation will definitely happen especially when several girls are chatting with him.
Jiang Nian was not surprised by this and continued to check the math test he had just finished.
At this time, Kirihara Akaya walked into the classroom with a washed apple and handed it to Jiang Nian.
"Here, I'm done washing up. When can you help me with math and English?"
As the exams approach, Kirihara Akaya becomes extremely anxious because all his grades must reach the average level in order to continue participating in the tennis club activities.
Jiang Nian took the apple and looked up at Kirihara Akaya: "You can choose the time, but the location must be at or near the school."
Jiang Nian and his classmates were just nodding acquaintances, simply because Jiang Nian wanted to let things take their course and not make friends just for the sake of making friends.
Reduce meaningless chit-chat and work more efficiently alone.
It was unexpected that he became familiar with Kirihara Akaya.
Kirihara Akaya's homework accuracy rate was very low, and he would always ask other people's scores. Over time, he began to plagiarize the homework of Jiang Nian, Yamado Kouta and others.
As time went by, Jiang Nian and Kirihara Aka began to become familiar with each other.
After hearing Jiang Nian's answer, Kirihara Akaya asked directly, "Can't you teach me during recess?"
Although Jiang Nian is willing to help others, the premise is that it does not affect his own affairs.
"The time between classes has been arranged. It can be in the morning or after school."
Jiang Nian stated the time directly and let Kirihara Akaya choose.
Jiang Nian accepted Kirihara Akaya's apple as a token of gratitude. If you want to get something, you have to pay something. Free things will not be accepted.
Kirihara Akaya thought for a moment and said in embarrassment, "I have training in the morning and in the evening after school."
Jiang Nian was helpless: "Tell me the specific time."
Kirihara Akaya chuckled: "Training starts at 7am, and after school at 3:30pm, we have to train until 5pm. We also train on Saturdays and Sundays."
After saying this, Kirihara Akaya looked at Jiang Nian with pride, as if to say, "Look, how great I am."
Jiang Nian was increasingly helpless: "Okay, you can arrive at school at 6am and take an hour of tutoring after training in the afternoon."
As Jiang Nian spoke, he was thinking about coming half an hour earlier next time and finishing his English listening and speaking practice tasks before Kirihara Akaya arrived at the school.
Qi Yuan Chi was also a little dumbfounded after hearing Jiang Nian's words. He opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something, but then he heard even more unfortunate news.
"Let's do the same time on Saturdays and Sundays. Of course, if the work is short, we can increase the time."
Jiang Nian thought that the arrangement was very reasonable and was worth the "salary" of one apple a day.
Kirihara Akaya's mouth began to twitch, and he said softly: "But I still have to play games..."
Jiang Nian didn't hear Kirihara Akaya's words clearly, and just thought he was doubting him: "Don't worry, since I have accepted your apple, I will definitely do my best to help you."
Kirihara Akaya: "..."
After checking the questions, Jiang Nian looked up and found Kirihara Akaya looking at him with a dazed look in his eyes, and was suddenly frightened.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Nian picked up the apple and waved it in front of Kirihara Akaya, "Thank you for the apple."
"You're welcome." Kirihara Akaya replied habitually.
After a moment, Kirihara Akaya said, "I have to ask the Minister."
Jiang Nian didn't think too much about it, just thinking that Qi Yuan Chi also needed to coordinate time with the minister.
The apple in my hand looks great. The red apple has some light green and yellow on it, and the sweet fruity aroma is emanating from it.
Jiang Nian ate the apple slowly, stopped writing with the pen in his hand, and devoted himself to tasting it.
At this moment, Kirihara Akaya suddenly turned around, opened his eyes wide, and asked anxiously: "Is it delicious?"
Jiang Nian was slightly embarrassed. He slowly moved the hand holding the apple towards himself and said with a fake smile, "Very good. Do you want to eat it?"
Kirihara Akaya waved his hand indifferently: "As long as it tastes good."
Then turn and leave.
Jiang Nian was confused and quickly finished the apple.
…
After the tennis club activities ended in the afternoon, Kirihara Akaya told Yukimura Seiichi what Jiang Nian said hesitantly.
Yukimura Seiichi ignored the reluctance in Kirihara Akaya's eyes and said, "Kirihara-kun, you must know your mission. You are the backbone of Rikkai University. You cannot let your poor academic performance affect Rikkai University's three consecutive championships."
Kirihara Akaya looked at his minister who was praising him with a smile on his face. He felt as if he was walking on clouds, floating in the air and not knowing what he meant.
"Minister, I will definitely not let you down."
Kirihara Akaya's face turned slightly red and he was extremely excited, as if he was about to have a big fight with someone at the next moment.
"Wait." Yukimura Seiichi called out to Kirihara Akaya, who was suddenly walking towards the teacher. "Does she like apples?"
Kirihara Akaya paused when he was called: "She likes it."
Qi Yuan Chi also remembered Jiang Nian's words and continued, "She said that apples contain zinc. Although it won't improve memory, it's better than nothing."
Kirihara Akaya remembered Jiang Nian's fake smile, showing both upper and lower teeth: "She said it was delicious."
Yukimura Seiichi smiled warmly and walked over to Kirihara Akaya: "From now on, you should learn other subjects from Sanada. You must learn math and English. You must not let down the 'tuition' provided by the tennis club."
After encouraging Kirihara Akaya, Yukimura Seiichi patted Kirihara Akaya on the shoulder to show encouragement.
