After school, Naoko refused Kato to eat dessert together, and hurried home.There is only one reason, father Yamada wants to take her to visit Kengo Aoki, a master who is good at Chinese ink painting.Dad said that old Mr. Aoki was strict with himself, and he was very strict in accepting apprentices, so he finally agreed to meet her as a student tonight, and they couldn't be late.

When turning the corner of the street, a high school boy in the distance squatted on the ground with a tennis bag on his back, leaning against the railing on the side of the road, holding his left arm with his right hand, as if in pain.She immediately recognized that person as Kirihara Akaya.Suddenly, she saw how difficult it was for him to get up.

She ran over quickly without any hesitation, and asked anxiously: "Cirhara! What's wrong with you?"

Kirihara Chi also raised his head to look at her, and the words seemed to be so inexplicably unable to come out of his mouth.

"What's the matter, do I need to do anything?" The silent Kirihara Chi also made her even more worried.

"I just accidentally got hurt."

"It's bleeding, how can you say it so simply and easily!" She bit her lower lip with her teeth, and helped him up without rejection. "I know there's a private clinic nearby, I'll take you there for a checkup first."

Kirihara Chi also let her pull him, looking down at her deeply furrowed brows, his eyes were filled with complex expressions.

The doctor only took one look and said it was all right, and only asked the nurse to bandage him, and didn't say anything else.

Still worried, Naoko asked, "Doctor, he's bleeding, is he really alright?"

"It's just scratching the skin."

"The doctor said it's all right, so don't worry about it anymore."

"However, your complexion is so bad, you just squatted on the ground and felt that you didn't have much strength."

"That's because he was too tired and didn't have a good rest." The doctor explained, "Young people, it's good to love sports, but it should be moderate."

Kirihara Chi also smiled mischievously, not paying attention to the doctor's words.

"Cirihara, you have strengthened your training recently." She used a declarative sentence, and she intuitively thought that his recent training volume was greater than before.

"It's just a little bit added. Look at you, you are frowning so tightly, you are not beautiful at first, but now you are even uglier." Kirihara Chi also said this with a smile on purpose, trying to divert her attention and let her Take it easy.

"That's right, I'm not pretty in the first place, and I'm in your way!" Naoko gritted her teeth angrily.

While bandaging Kirihara, the nurse said to him with a smile: "How can a boy say that a girl is not beautiful to her face? Besides, seeing how nervous your girlfriend is, you are truly blessed."

"I'm not his girlfriend."

"She's not my girlfriend."

The two explained almost at the same time, their cheeks flushed.

Both the doctor and the nurse laughed at the same time, thinking they were a couple even more.

"Look at how awkward you two are. Even if you're not boyfriend and girlfriend now, you'll be soon." The nurse looked at them ambiguously with an expression that I understood.

After dressing up, and bought some bandages and wound medicine, Kirihara Akaya and Naoko left the infirmary in a hurry.That nurse lady is really too gossip, too enthusiastic and too eloquent.

After coming out, the blush on their faces was quickly blown away by the wind outside.

"There is someone you like in Osaka, did you tell those girls on purpose?"

"Ah?" Kirihara said this suddenly, Naoko didn't react for a moment.

He looked at her quietly, waiting for her answer.

"Ah."

"Senior Masaharu said that he and Senior Yagyu saw you dating Caiqianguang from Shitianbao Temple."

"Senior Renwang is so gossip~" She pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice. "Actually, that's not a date. It's rare for Xiaoguang to come to Kanagawa. Of course I'm going to show him around."

"Xiaoguang?" Kirihara frowned secretly, calling so kindly~

"It's Cai Qianguang. I grew up with him."

He had already heard from his seniors that they were childhood sweethearts, but wanted to confirm for himself.Kirihara thought about the short moment at the Tokyo Stadium that day, and he still wanted to ask her and Senior Liu?

At this moment, Naoko's cell phone rang.

When Naoko saw that it was her father on the caller ID, she immediately screamed out.As soon as the call was answered, Dad's rare loud voice said, "Zhizi, where are you now? Why haven't you come back, you're going to be late!"

"Dad, I'm sorry, I'll be back now!" Naoko hung up the phone, anxious. "Just thinking about you, I forgot the most important thing tonight."

"Where are you going in a hurry, I'll see you off."

"But your arm..."

"Just scratched the skin."

"The doctor told you to rest more..."

"After sending you to your destination, I will go home and have a good rest."

Naoko called back and asked for the address of the master's house, telling her father to go there first, and she would go there directly.

Kirihara Chi also galloped against the wind, he only had one idea now, to send Naoko Yamada to her destination in time.Naoko was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, wrapping her hands around his waist, feeling the speed of the wind, her heart gradually became more at ease.

After a sudden brake, the drowsy Naoko who was leaning behind Kirihara immediately regained consciousness and jumped off the bicycle.Kirihara was panting heavily, his face was pale, and the sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks. "Here it is, you go in quickly, don't be late."

"Kirihara, thank you, go home and rest." Naoko only had time to say thank you to him, and hurried to the front courtyard door to ring the doorbell.

Kirihara watched her enter the yard before slowly leaving on his bike.

When Naoko entered the living room, Yamada's father was already sitting inside talking with the host. On the main seat was an old man with Huafa. She thought he was probably Kengo Aoki, and there was also a middle-aged man who was about the same age as his father. , a young man slightly older than her.

After Yamada's father introduced Naoko, he introduced the two people in the hall to her. One was Kengo Aoki, and the other two were his eldest son Taro Aoki and his student Hiroichi Taya.

Aoki Kengo said to her like gossip: "Naoko, I heard from Yamada-kun that you went to the hospital with a classmate after school."

"Yes."

"How is your classmate now?"

"The doctor saw nothing serious."

"You came here directly by car?"

"No, my classmate sent me here by bicycle."

Immediately, Aoki Kengo's eyes became more scrutinized, and the three of Yamada's father were surprised.

Naoko said unhurriedly: "He rides a bicycle really fast, and he worked so hard to keep me from being late, obviously the doctor told him to rest more." Thinking of Kirihara Chiya like that, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch sweetly. sweet smile.

Aoki Kengo picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said: "Chinese ink painting has a long history and is extensive and profound. Learning is not something that can be done overnight."

Naoko was overjoyed immediately: "HAI, I'm already mentally prepared."

"Junior Sister, quickly offer tea to the teacher." Tayahiro said with a smile.

"HAI," Naoko hastily poured tea and offered tea, "Teacher, please drink tea."

Kengo Aoki took the teacup from her hand and took a few sips. "From now on, I will come to learn painting every Saturday afternoon. If you want to come over on weekdays, you can also call in advance."

"HAI, teacher, I remember."

"Senior Taya, please take care of me in the future."

"I also want to ask my junior sister to take care of me."

"Grandpa, Dad, I'm back!" A voice sounded outside the door, and the door was instantly pulled open.

Naoko looked up at the door and asked in surprise, "Aoki-kun?"

"Yamada-san?"

"Do you know each other?" Taya Hiroichi asked the doubts of the three elders.

"We are in the same class." Naoko had already thought that the class monitor was also surnamed Aoki.

Aoki Taro said: "Mamori, there are guests at home, first come say hello to Uncle Yamada."

"Hello, Uncle Yamada, I'm Mamoru Aoki."

"I didn't expect that Mamoru and Naoko were still classmates. In the future, my Naoko will be taken care of by you at school."

"Uncle Yamada, you are being polite. Yamada-san gets along very well with his classmates at school."

Naoko couldn't help but look at him in surprise.

The elders talked together for a while, and Aoki Mamoru also knew that Naoko would come to the house to learn painting with his grandfather, and he was very surprised.

After the Yamada father and daughter left Aoki's house, Toya Hiroshi asked Aoki Mamoru about Naoko's school affairs. Aoki Mamoru only said that she studied hard and worked responsibly, and kept those rumors secret.

Hiroshi Toya smiled and said, "It's rare to hear Mamoru praise a girl so much, there's something wrong~"

Aoki Kengo and Aoki Taro looked at him instantly, Aoki Mamoru widened his eyes, and said word by word: "Brother Hiroichi, don't talk nonsense, you asked me first, and I told you." Teased and laughed from time to time, he could only express his helplessness.

"By the way, Grandpa, didn't you say you would not accept apprentices?" He was not only curious that Naoko Yamada would want to learn painting, but also curious that Grandpa would accept apprentices.

Aoki Kengo signaled Hiroichi Toya to fetch a piece of sketch paper, Aoki Mamoru took a look, and couldn't help being surprised again: "Kirihara Chiya?"

"Oh? Do you know this person?" Hiroshi Taya asked him with a smile.

"He is also a classmate in our class."

"How is this person?" Hiroichi Taya was purely curious.

"He," Aoki Mamoru hesitated, he couldn't say that the classmate was not good. "Study performance can only be said to be average, but he is the main candidate of the tennis club. He is very passionate about tennis and is also very popular with girls."

"That's right~"

"How could there be a sketch of him?" He had already guessed that it was probably from Naoko Yamada, and Naoko could draw Akaya Kirihara, and he could draw it so vividly?

"Masao-kun Yamada sent me some of Naoko's works in order to let me take Naoko as an apprentice, and this is one of them."

"Grandpa appreciates Yamada-san's paintings?"

"I don't know how much such a talent for painting can be used in Chinese ink painting. I am looking forward to it. Wouldn't it be a pity for grandpa if such a good seed is missed?"

"I have never seen her show such a level in school, and her performance in art class is only excellent, not the outstanding kind."

"Huh? So strange? I'm getting more and more curious about this little junior sister."

The Aoki family was discussing Naoko Yamada's apprenticeship, and the Yamada family was also discussing it.

Naoko asked Yamada's father curiously: "Didn't you say that the teacher is very strict in accepting apprentices? Why did I pass the test so easily today?"

"Probably because Dad sent your paintings to Master Aoki to see?"

"My painting?"

"It's the stack of sketches on your desk. Dad just took it if he wanted to surprise you. Don't be angry with Dad."

"No." Naoko's smile hadn't dissipated yet, and she suddenly remembered that there was a picture drawn by insomnia that night... She hurried back to the bedroom to search, but the picture was indeed gone.Naoko ran downstairs again and asked, "Father, have you seen those paintings one by one?"

"I've seen it, a few landscapes, a few sketches of characters, all very good." Father Yamada didn't know why he was anxious about his daughter.

Immediately, Naoko was discouraged. "Well, forget it, no one will care." Just like Dad, the teachers will only think it is an ordinary sketch of a character when they see it.

Insomnia that night, she first drew Liu Lian Er, but she couldn't draw his charm well, and finally she drew Kirihara Chiya.
