The girl under the cherry blossoms, her smile is like a flower

"It's a poor provocation, but you succeeded. Come on."

She picked up the racket and stood up.

"Oh? The minister's health doesn't matter, right?"

"Isn't it a little late to ask this after I hold the racket?"

Hanayamain Chiyokora swung a few times, as if he was getting back the previous feel, and maybe adapting to the weight of the racket.

"My dear Minister, God knows, I'm really worried that your body won't be able to bear it. In fact, that's what I wanted to ask just now, but..."

"To shut up."

"Yes."

"let's start."

"Mr. Minister, let me ask you just to be on the safe side, have you ever played table tennis before?"

"No, but I've seen it on TV."

Under the moonlight, under the light, Hanayamain Chiyo said this, her obsidian-like pupils shining with light.

"...I don't know how to let go."

"unnecessary."

"Okay, I'm very energetic, then, let's see what happens!"

Qing Gongfeng sent a straight ball that was not threatening. Of course, Chiyo Hanazhanin blocked the ball, but due to the wrong angle, the ball eventually flew out of bounds.

The ping pong ball fell on the wooden floor, bounced and was caught by Qing Gongfeng. He looked at Chiyo Hanazhanin on the other side and said nothing.

"Come again."

"it is good."

Qing Gongfeng responded and hit the same straight ball as the last one.

"It's a little bit worse."

Qing Gongfeng looked at the ball that almost landed on the stage with some regret.

Chiyo Hanayamain still failed to catch the second ball, but this time it was obviously not as bad as the first time.

"Come again."

Across the table, Chiyo Hanayamain remained expressionless. Her eyes wandered between the racket and the table, which made Qing Gongfeng couldn't help but wonder whether the minister was calculating what angle and strength to use like the protagonist in the anime. Hit the ball back perfectly.

The third ball...

The fourth ball...

The fifth ball...

……

The sport of table tennis seems to only require two swings of the racket and a few steps with the soles of the feet, but the actual physical strength consumed is much greater than it seems.

At least after Hanayamain Chiyo was able to perfectly catch the straight ball sent by Kiyomiya Kaede, her forehead was already covered with fine sweat and her breathing became heavy.

In fact, the whole process didn't take much time, at most 5 minutes, but it's not surprising that this happened to Hanayamain Chiyo, who took walking up the slope in front of Nanimori Academy with an eye to the end as exercise.

Of course, this kind of thing may seem unbelievable to high school students, but if contemporary college students look at it...

What? ! Do you have to climb a 200-meter long slope to go to school every day? Do you want to kill me friend.

"I'm sweating. Let's rest for a while."

Qing Gongfeng put down his racket, opened the oolong tea and took a big sip.

It was already late at night, and the moon was peeking out from behind the clouds. Everything was quiet all around. If it weren't for the lights, it would really be like being in a deep mountain forest.

Although he was out of breath, Hanayamain Chiyo was still waving the racket gently, as if thinking about why the ball just missed.

"Mr. Minister, please rest for a while and then fight again."

"Ah."

"How does it feel, about table tennis."

Sitting on a chair, Hanayamain Chiyo wanted to wipe her sweat, but realized that she did not bring a handkerchief to the yukata she was wearing.

But it doesn't matter, Qing Gongfeng is so considerate to a person, he directly stretched out the sleeves of his yukata, but was pushed away mercilessly by the minister.

Really, this yukata was a new one he bought. He had just worn it this time. He very generously offered his sleeves to Hanayamain Chiyo to wipe his sweat, but he was even disliked.

"It's interesting, but it makes me sweat, so I don't like it."

"So should we list playing table tennis as one of the two things we don't like to do every day?"

Qing Gongfeng held his arms that were pushed back and looked at the night sky.

"Together with drinking tea made by Kiyomiya-san?"

Hanashanyin Chiyo turned her face sideways, and the sweat on her slender neck reflected the crystal light.

"Those two things are related to me," Qing Gongfeng laughed, "This is my honor."

"But it's something not to like."

"What does it matter? People are fickle. There is no guarantee that one day the things you don't like will become the things you like." Under the night sky, Qing Gongfeng's voice sounded a little more ethereal.

"Besides, when the Minister does these things every day, he will think of me. This is great, isn't it?"

After thinking for a while, Chiyo Hanashanyin said:

"Very cunning."

"Huh? Why did you say that?"

"Kyomiya-kun is very popular with girls."

"Well, probably."

Facing the gaze of Hanashanyuan Chiyo, Qing Gongfeng gave an ambiguous answer.

"Asai-san is extremely infatuated with you, and Hazuki-san is also very fond of you. Even if you want, you can become a couple with Hazuki-san tonight."

"It's hard to say."

Hazuki-san is much stronger than you think, Buchou-sama.

"Qing Gong-san is a very strange person. He talks very strangely, has a very strange personality, and has a very strange soul. But these strange things are great weapons for attracting girls."

Hanashanyin Chiyo came a little closer, without blinking, as if he wanted to use this to see through the young man in front of him.

"You have the irresistible charm of a teenage girl."

"In other words, even if Kiyomiya-san doesn't have this pretty face, the ending will not change. This is where Kiyomiya-san is cunning."

"Then I have attracted the Minister?"

"Well," Hanayamain Chiyo nodded very honestly, Qing Gongfeng could smell the fragrance of her long hair, "but it's not enough, it's better to say it's far from it."

This sentence sounded familiar. Qing Gongfeng thought about it with his eight-point intelligence head and realized that he had said this sentence to the Minister this afternoon. He did not expect that it would be used to refute him so quickly.

"Well, Buchou-sama is also a girl."

Qing Gongfeng suddenly sighed with emotion.

She will also hold grudges, and will use other people's words to make others speechless in rebuttal. When faced with provocation, even though she may not be good at this aspect, she will still stand up, try her best, and slap him.

This is a real girl, a real person.

"why would you say so?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that the image of the Minister has suddenly become fuller. In the past, the Minister always had an expressionless face, which made people think that you would not be moved by anything. Well, you are like a piece of exquisite porcelain."

"Kyomiya-kun, I am also a human being, and it is normal to have emotions."

"But isn't the Minister looking for his own emotions? Ah, searching may not be appropriate. Let me think of a more appropriate word, um..."

Qing Gongfeng snapped his fingers and smiled in the moonlight:

"The pursuit, yes, the pursuit."

"The Minister is pursuing his own feelings."

"Just like that day, the Minister opened the window and let the wind and the noise from the outside come in. Isn't that why?"

"..."

Seeing Qing Gongfeng's smile, Hanayamain Chiyo stopped talking. In the end, she could only sigh.

"Kyomiya-san is indeed in some danger."

"Scared?"

"What nonsense are Kiyomiya-san talking about?"

Hanayamain Chiyo lifted her long hair on her shoulders, exuding confidence.

Although it was the dual effect of moonlight and lights, Qing Gongfeng felt that if he was confident that this kind of emotion could shine, that would be it.

"Yes, I said something stupid," Qing Gongfeng grabbed the racket, "What about again?"

"it is good."

.................................................. ..................................

To be honest, shoes like clogs were not comfortable for Qing Gongfeng to wear. Fortunately, he brought his own sandals. This may sound strange, but it is the truth.

Maybe wearing a yukata with sandals will look a little strange, but that's not a problem.

He is good-looking, even wearing sandals and big pants looks good.

"Are Brother Feng and Senior Sister Huashan playing table tennis?"

"Yes, why don't Rina and Hazuki-san come together?"

Qing Gongfeng stretched himself. In fact, he didn't sweat at all while playing, so it should be fine even if he didn't take a bath.

"You will sweat," Rina sniffed Qing Gongfeng's chest, covered her nose, and said with a look of disgust, "Well - the smell of sweat is so unpleasant! Brother Feng, go take a shower!"

"Ah? How?"

Qing Gongfeng lowered his head and smelled it. There was only the fragrance of shower gel, but there was no smell of sweat.

So, Qing Gongfeng, who had just entered the room, was pushed out by Rina.

"Bring me a set of clothes, Rina!"

Qing Gongfeng was outside banging the door and howling.

Then, the door opened a big crack, and Rina's little face poked out. She hummed softly and took out Qing Gongfeng's clothes.

After spending more than ten minutes taking another bath, Qing Gongfeng finally returned to the room.

At this time, there were only three people in the room with Qing Gongfeng, and Chiyo Hanazhanin was not in the room. This once again confirmed the truth that girls are slow to take baths.

"What are you talking about? So happy."

At this time, the floor has been laid on the tatami, and as expected, Qing Gongfeng's bed is somewhat far away from the other three beds, but as long as there is love, distance is not a problem.

Because the bed on Qinggong Kaede's right was Rina's, he could sneak there in the middle of the night, wake up early based on his biological clock, and return to his bed without anyone noticing.

Sounds reasonable.

But there are loopholes everywhere.

First of all, Qing Gongfeng would not do such a thing as crawling into a girl's bed in the middle of the night.

Again, he's a serious guy.

Secondly, he is really a serious person.

"I'm talking about Brother Feng's childhood."

"Tell me what's going on."

Qing Gong Kaede sat on Rina's shop. The three girls' shops were connected together. The one in the middle was Yuka Hazuki, and the one on the outermost was Hanayamain Chiyo.

It's very suitable for playing poker.

Qing Gongfeng thought of the King's Game that was popular in many light novels and anime, and was also known as the male protagonist's exclusive welfare game.

Could it be that the rosy spring is coming now?
