Fall in love with Mr. Chi

……

1.

Luoshan High School, every three years.

"... Hey Jiang Gu, have you considered your approach?"

With a sound of "Boom", Eileen who was writing something felt that someone knocked on the top of her head with something.

She looked up, and saw the boy who had talked to her take back the notebook on top of her head, and sat in front of her seat familiarly.

That was Jia Rurun's classmate in their class, with flaxen short hair that reached the ears, and a pair of dark eyes that always seemed to shine when he was running on the football field.Everyone said that Jiaru was the boy with the brightest personality among their age, but Elian always felt that when he looked at her, there was always an obscure light hidden in his deep eyes.

"Well, it's already filled in." Huai Lian put down the mechanical pencil, sat upright and looked at him patiently.

"Idiot, shouldn't you tell me what you filled in here?" Jiarui didn't look away from Huilianping's calm and calm eyes, so he turned his head and shaved his cheeks.

"...However, the deviation value of my university is only C at present, and it will be very embarrassing if I fail to pass the exam." Huilian raised her eyebrows, and she also has her own persistence in this regard.It's not the first day Jia Rurun has known her. Knowing that she has a tendency to hide in this aspect, he can only sigh and smile heartily at her: "No matter what you tell me you want to take the exam, I will only I will say words of encouragement, so what are you worried about?"

His smiling eyes turned his tenderness towards her, while Huilian curled up the corners of his mouth to thank her softly. After thinking for a while, facing a transparent family like her who came to care about her before the exam, it would be a bit strange not to say anything. Strange——like a compromise, he wanted to report at least the area where the school is located: "Well, then my favorite university is..."

"...home entry."

But just when she was about to give a hint, a cold call came from the door of the classroom.

Both Eren and Ieiri looked in that direction at the same time, and looked at the head of the office, Akashi Seijuro, with a pair of cold eyes.

"When I just passed the corridor, the math tutor reminded me to ask you to bring the mock test paper."

"...Ah! Is there such a thing? I'll go right away." Iiri, who was sitting sideways on the seat in front of Eren, immediately stood up, waved to Eren before leaving, and then ran out of the classroom. And Eileen tilted her head, and lowered her head to pull out the blue letter paper she had carefully hidden just now from under the textbook... But, when she was able to continue what she was doing, another figure suddenly stopped near Eileen up.

A black shadow suddenly blocked the light on her right, and under a natural reaction, Eileen raised her head, and then bumped into Akashi's red eyes.

"Sorry," she heard him say.

"Why do you have to apologize?" She tilted her head.

"Because I seem to have disturbed your conversation with Iori just now." Akashi looked down at her, and glanced at a corner of the letter paper she hid under the textbook, and the tension that had been a little bit since just now was inexplicably soothed, he He softened his tone: "Are you talking about important topics?"

"Ah... It's not an important topic, it's okay to interrupt, you are too polite." She smiled helplessly, and Akashi also evoked an invisible smile at her, and then returned to her own seat.

Seeing that her purity had finally returned, Huilian lowered her head and wrote her letter to her pen pal more intently.

Akashi's heart softened when he saw her softened eyes and upturned corners of her mouth when she wrote the letter.

...Just now, because he happened to overhear Jia Rurun's friend saying that the former was interested in her in the corridor, he couldn't help but use some tricks to keep him away from her.

But this kind of behavior...is really cunning.He obviously didn't have the courage to approach her, but he didn't allow others to approach her.

……

2.

In the second semester of the third year of high school, Luoshan University maintained the physical education exam quite inhumanely.

As a sports scumbag, Jiang Gu Elian's complexion has been very bad since the morning.She doesn't look forward to the next round of assessment in front of the whole class, especially the volleyball kick-butt assessment today. She is not good at that. Although there are many girls in the class who are as bad as she is in sports, there are boys on the court next door. The place where we evaluate basketball... If something goes wrong, it will definitely be ridiculed.

Eileen has been a bit concerned about this since she was a child.

Because my brother is so good at sports, she really has low self-esteem for being so embarrassing in sports.

"19...20...21..."

"Be careful! That who... Ah Jianggu!"

"Eh?"

Eileen, who was playing ball with her partner seriously, was suddenly called by her name. She didn't know where to go and looked up, and saw a basketball flying towards her face. , She couldn't dodge in time, and was hit directly in the face.

With a bang, she fell to the ground, accompanied by the pain on the bridge of her nose, her uncontrollable nosebleed.

"Ah! Eren-chan, are you okay?"

"Are you ok?"

"Exam terminated—"

Seeing her bleeding out, the girls standing near the volleyball court were taken aback. Some gathered around her, and some pointed at the boys and scolded them. For the girls' assessment, the boy who accidentally kicked the ball over just now walked towards the women's volleyball court with a face full of guilt.

"Student Jianggu, can you get up? Seeing that you look like this, you should go to the medical room to get an ice pack to apply to your nose, and then go back to the classroom to rest." The physical education instructor frowned and said: "Who's assessment is over? Take classmate Jiang Gu to the health room?"

"...I'll do it." Among the crowd, one hand was raised firmly first, and that was Akashi Seijuro.

As soon as his words came out, the girls automatically moved out of the way to let him walk in front of the physical education instructor. His red eyes met the teacher's: "I can give first aid, and I can check on classmate Jiang Gu when I get to the health room."

"That's really helpful." The physical education instructor thought that Akashi was almost the most reliable student in the whole school, so he entrusted the injured female classmate to him quite at ease, and waved his hand in the next second, gesturing to other onlookers The masses scattered like birds and beasts.

As for Eren, who was still sitting on the ground pinching his nose, he was a little moved when he saw Akashi come to help.

"Akashi-san, is your assessment over?"

"Yeah." Akashi raised his hand to support her face, and noticed that the place where she was hit by the ball was still a little red, so he took out the toilet paper from his pocket and signaled her to catch some nosebleeds first, and slowly pushed her away. lift up.

This is the first time the two have physical contact. When they touched her girl's unique slippery arms, Akashi realized that his long-term training and honed hands might touch her, so he slapped his hands on the clothes without any trace. wiped.

"Sorry, I just came over from playing, my hands might be a little dirty."

"No...it's better to say that my nosebleed is the dirtiest."

"It's okay." Akashixu supported her, and he didn't realize how close they were to each other even though he was so focused on taking care of her, he breathed nervously on the side of her face: "Stop talking, classmate Jianggu, focus on holding her!" bridge of the nose."

"……Um."

It was the first time that Erlian was aware of Akashi's aura so close, and this distance made her think.

It's not the first time I've been rescued by Akashi. Is this person... always so gentle to girls?

Her amber pupils glanced at him cautiously, because she was not used to being so close to the unexpected man of her brother, her ears were quietly turning red, and even her heartbeat was quietly speeding up.

I began to understand the feeling of what my girlfriends usually say, "I have earned a word with Akashi"...

Sure enough, this person is really a perfect existence.

……

3.

After being helped to the health care room, Akashi carefully checked the wound on the bridge of her nose for her, and brought her an ice pack.

When he personally sent her back to the classroom, he did not forget to tell her to rest quite carefully.

This really surprised Eren a little bit. Could the noble son Seijuro Akashi, who is usually called by everyone, be too enthusiastic?

She watched Akashi leave the classroom, thinking of the hot breath he accidentally sprayed on her neck when he helped her just now, she felt her heart beating faster for the first time.

Eileen reached out from the drawer and found the small mirror that Japanese high school students would carry with them, and then carefully checked her nose.

Right at the edge of her nostrils, there was a little dry blood that hadn't been wiped off, so she had to clean it up with toilet paper dampened with water.

She faced Akashi with such a embarrassed look just now, she always felt a little embarrassed...

But compared to this, speaking of...

It feels a little weird to be alone in the classroom at this time.

Elian looked at the empty seats around him.Unlike the classrooms that have been cleaned after school, everyone’s seats are now filled with personal belongings, and even the blackboards are left with traces of uncleaned chalk. In the brightly lit room, the desks are glowing white.

Suddenly... I feel like I want to seize this opportunity.

Elian blinked and got up from the table, taking advantage of no one around the classroom, boldly walked around the classroom, and sneaked a sneak peek at the graffiti on the desktops of the students, who were overwhelmed by textbooks, pencil cases, sundries and things that could not be brought. The drawers were stuffed with snacks, until an exceptionally clean table appeared in front of her.

Whose table is this?Elian wondered in his heart, and bent down again—only to find that not only was there no graffiti on the table, but even the things in the drawers were neatly arranged, except for a pencil case and two textbooks, just a notebook, And inside the notebook...

Huilian's eyes widened suddenly, a discovery made her heart skip a beat.

Is she wrong?No, she won't admit her mistake, will she?

An impulse made her, who was always quite polite, boldly reach into the classmate's drawer, then took out the notebook, and put the envelope that was sandwiched in the notebook with only a small foot exposed. fundus.

The letter paper sold by Azure at the stationery store in front of the station has her favorite washi tape pasted on the edge, and the surface of the envelope...is the digital seal she usually uses for pen pal correspondence, and the student will pair it with her.

This is the letter she sent, why is it in this classmate's drawer?

It turns out... the classmate she had been waiting for for a long time but couldn't meet, had she always been in the same class as her?

Eileen's eyes widened, and she took a quick look at the owner's name written on the lower right corner of the notebook.

——Akashi Seijuro.

Many details flashed through Erian's mind in an instant, and she suddenly guessed the meaning behind the fact that she couldn't wait for the other party under the tree that day, and Akashi's eyes.

……

4.

A new month has come quietly.

When Akashi Seijuro checked the pen pal event letter as usual, he couldn't find her reply to him.

It's just... last month he saw her secretly writing letters in class, this month should be the same as usual, there should be no reply?

Akashi frowned, a little disappointed and irritable because he couldn't find her letter, did the classmate who was in charge of collecting letters lose her letter?Or did he miss it when he checked just now?Akashi checked all the documents on the desk, but her light blue envelope was indeed missing.

Would it be strange for him to reply without her letter?He also wanted to know the follow-up to what she said last time. Most importantly, they were not far away from the day of graduation, and he didn't want to miss any letter during this period.

Akashi half-closed his eyes, hiding in his heart a loss that only he knew.

……

5.

Because he had doubts, Akashi returned to the classroom when there was no one in the classroom after class.

He remembered that she usually hides the letter in the textbook of the Mandarin class and secretly writes it in class. Today is the day when she doesn’t need to bring the Mandarin textbook home. At a glance... I guess we can tell whether she lost the letter or didn't send it at all.

Akashi really didn't know why he did this, but his heart was filled with such strong thoughts.

Exchanging letters with her is an oasis of the soul that he has attached great importance to since the second year of high school.

Although at the end of last year, he did not dare to go to the appointment because of his cowardice, but she still insisted on continuing to communicate with him. He wondered if it was because of his estrangement that the relationship could not last.

This feeling of worrying about gains and losses made him suffocate. Whenever he saw her sitting not far from him, knowing her very well but unable to talk to her in person, he felt unbearable.

Obviously, they will go their separate ways because of the entrance exam.

Akashi Seijuro once again reflected, was his choice at the time right?

If it was her who finally gave up this time, then he should...how should he choose?

... The sun is setting.

The warm orange light slanted into his third-year classroom. Akashi, who was wearing a neat school uniform, saw that there was no one around the corridor, so he carried his shoulder bag into the classroom and walked to Erian's seat at the same time.

He lowered his head slightly, and took out her Chinese textbook with great precision, flipped through it casually, and the letter that had already been written jumped out from the middle of the textbook.

There was a tingle in Akashi's heart, looking at the letter that fell on the ground, he knew it belonged to him, but he couldn't take it away.

If she had planned to cut off contact with him, then this letter was the last message she wrote to him, and he wanted to take it away, but...

In the end, Akashi chose to squat down, and then put the letter back to the original jammed pages, and put it back in Eren's drawer.

……

brush-

Just when Akashi was tidying up her drawers and pretending that there were no traces, there was the sound of someone pulling open the classroom door of Class Three.

Akashi's nerves tensed all of a sudden, just as he raised his eyes, he bumped into Erian's amber pupils.

He didn't expect such a coincidence, and he was about to open his mouth to explain right away, but he remembered again—he didn't hold anything in his hands now, so she shouldn't find that he had rummaged through her drawers.

Akashi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and because of his slack at the moment, he didn't notice that all his expressions were actually being observed by Erlen.Her usual gentle and calm expression seemed a little too calm, and after a while, after confirming something in her heart, she returned to her seat, took out the Chinese textbook, and opened it in front of Akashi at the same time.

Afterwards, he saw Huai Lian squatting in front of the drawer and pulling out the letter, putting the textbook back in the drawer, holding the letter and sighing softly.

At that moment, Akashi really wanted to know what she was thinking, so he asked desperately: "Student Fuguya, is that a letter?"

"..." She seemed to be silent for a long time: "Yes. But now, I don't plan to send it."

Akashi's heart ached when she heard the words, maybe she didn't know that the person who received the letter was the person she was talking to?He really wanted to know the answer, so he pretended to be calm and asked, "Why?"

"I always feel that no matter how I write, I can't convey the message to the other party." Hui Lian squatted on the ground, with a very helpless smile on the corner of his mouth: "Anyway, I am about to graduate, and if I continue like this, my troubles will not be solved. , since this is the case... it's better to be more decisive and stop trying, so that it will be easier for me who is trying so hard to get close... and him who is trying his best to avoid me."

She said pointedly, and held the letter in her hand again, without asking the reason for Akashi's appearance, she just threw the letter into the trash can in the classroom in front of Akashi.

"That man is really an idiot."

She put down a soft complaint, then turned and left the classroom.

And Akashi, who vaguely noticed that Erlian was angry, widened his eyes in surprise, and realized that what she just said meant to end the correspondence relationship forever, so he went to the trash can where she had just thrown away the letter—after class The trash bin that had been cleaned by the student on duty was quite clean, and in the middle of the white plastic bag lay quietly the letter that he dared not take away just now, but now she disposed of it as trash, so he just picked it up It's okay, right?

Akashi bent down to pick up the letter, and slowly opened it.

Then, I found that there was nothing special written in the letter, only a few words.

——Obviously no matter what kind of person you are, I will accept you, idiot.

……

7.

A long holiday has passed.

Entering the last semester of senior year, Huilian looks a little depressed, but it doesn't look like he is under too much pressure because of the upcoming exam.

And Akashi also found that he, who used to be able to greet her normally, was also avoided by her.

He thought of her back in the classroom under the sunset that day, feeling a little lonely and tired.

At that time, he really wanted to catch up with her and confess to her, but he missed the timing.

Therefore, even though it is rare to be in the same class, the two of them did not have a word to say until the day when the graduation photo was taken.

But at the very end, after receiving his graduation certificate and taking countless group photos in the sports field of Luoshan University, Akashi, who felt overwhelmed by the crowd and the girls who asked for a photo, wanted to escape the crowd. I quietly slipped back to the classroom of Class One, Three Years.

Unconsciously, he returned to the place where Eileen was, and glanced at her drawer - in today's drawer, even her Chinese textbook no longer exists.

After all, today is the day when she graduates and leaves school, and her things will no longer leave any traces in this space.

He stood by the window and looked down at the emotionally charged classmates near the school entrance. In the season when the cherry petals were flying, they were wearing the most formal school uniforms, hugging and taking pictures noisily.

In the end, he still didn't talk to Huilian - he noticed that after the whole day today, many people with small cameras asked to take pictures with her, and she also used her Polaroid to take pictures with some of her classmates. group photo.

Of course, she didn't invite him.

Akashi gently sat on the desk of her classmate behind her, crossed hands, and looked up at the overly colorful messages and graduation congratulations on the blackboard in their classroom, recalling the encounter with her in the second year of high school with a little dazed eyes.

Will we never see you again?

Akashi tried to calm the pain in his heart, but his eyes could not conceal the unwillingness.

Then, just at this moment, the door of their classroom... swung open again.

The girl he had been thinking about day and night appeared by the door just like that, with a camera hanging on her body.

Akashi's eyes met hers, and his breathing became haphazard again because of her presence.

"Jianggu...student?"

……

8.

Outside the window where the cherry petals were flying, Erian looked at Akashi who was standing by the window with an elegant posture.

Just like that day, he also parked next to her seat.It's just that the sun is still shining now, and the pink light outside the window pours in through the glass, and coats Akashi with a soft white tulle.

Standing so far away, she couldn't see all his eyes clearly, but she could clearly see that he was looking at her.

She was silent for a moment, then raised the corners of her lips, and pretended to be calm: "...Akashi-san, I didn't expect you to be here. There were many girls and schoolgirls looking for you outside just now."

She raised the corners of her mouth and teased him, but Akashi suddenly felt that the misunderstanding was not good, so he coughed lightly: "...I didn't want to take pictures with them, I just wanted to come up to catch my breath. But Furuya-san, why did you appear in the here?"

Realizing that Erlen didn't intend to leave the classroom immediately, Akashi guessed that she had something to do when she came back to the classroom, so he slowly approached her.

"Hmm." She replied lightly, and her footsteps stopped on the blackboard: "I just remembered that there is a sentence... I didn't dare to write it on the blackboard just now, but now I really want to leave it on the blackboard."

Having said that, she placed the chalks under the blackboard and carefully selected chalks of suitable length.

And Akashi was curious about what she said... If she told him so unreservedly, wouldn't he be able to easily know the message she wanted to leave secretly later?Akashi began to feel that he couldn't see through her thoughts, but he didn't expect that she had raised her hand and drew an inconspicuous matching umbrella on the blackboard.

...combined umbrella.

Akashi's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect her to draw this in front of him so boldly.

He couldn't help approaching her, but Erlian turned to look at him, and suddenly gave him a chuckle: "I didn't expect that on the day of graduation, Akashi-san's second button is still in place."

"...Well, someone did ask me for it, but I didn't give it away." His tone was a little unnatural, and he thought of Huilian's umbrella again. She had already written her name on the half of the umbrella, and his heart Stinging, but still pretended to be calm and asked her: "What about you? Is there anyone looking for a second button?"

"...Although I want to, but I don't think it will happen." Huilian finished writing her name, and the handwriting was beautiful and beautiful.

"Why?" Akashi was saddened by the existence of her object, and his voice carried uncontrollable restlessness.

"...I'm a girl, so I'm a little shy, so I can only rely on hints." Huilian smiled shyly with her head tilted, her moist eyes shone with a good look: "I haven't even spoken to him formally, so I went up to him all of a sudden." Asking for buttons should scare the other party."

She spoke in the lightest voice, as if she was talking about the most precious person to her.

"I originally planned to give up directly, but since it's the day of graduation... I will regret it if I don't try again? So I turned back and hoped that he can also see the message I left here. ..." Eren's hand holding the chalk has already moved from the last stroke of his name to the other side of the umbrella, the answer is about to be revealed, and Akashi has never felt his heart beat so fast.

"What if he didn't see it?"

"No, he will see it."

Huai Lian suddenly smiled, or rather, he was watching.

Thinking of this, she wrote down the word "stupid" on the other side of the matching umbrella.

Afterwards, he put the chalk in place, raised his eyes and smiled at Akashi: "Did you see it?"

"...?" Akashi's heart tightened, remembering the "idiot" she wrote in her last letter some time ago.Does she mean now that she likes that pen pal?Then she asked him if he had seen it, and said that the man must have seen it.

Did you mean to tell him specifically?Akashi's eyes were full of disbelief, and he replied in a dazed way: "I saw..., Furuya-san, you..."

"Pfft," Eileen was amused by his expression, and shook his head again: "Akashi-san's reaction is too slow."

After that, she held back her smile and put down the chalk to leave the classroom, but seeing her disappearing from her eyes again, Akashi, who finally understood her intentions, ran up this time without thinking about it, and hugged her from behind.Then, he found that she was not even struggling, so he obediently stayed in his arms.

Akashi's heart beat faster and faster, he was a little annoyed, he just hugged her and lowered his head, his voice was low: "When did you find out?"

"...That time, I accidentally saw a half-folded envelope in your drawer." Hui Lian leaned against him and was hugged by his arms. The newly sprouted feelings grew wantonly in her heart, making her laugh helplessly. Get up: "Originally, I didn't guess it was you at all."

"So you blocked the ball for me in the second year of high school...you already know?"

"Ah."

"How long have you known?"

"...From the very beginning, when there was a problem with event matching and your letter was out of order, I planned to take the responsibility to reply to your letter."

Akashi lowered his eyes to explain, and the hand that hugged Eren was getting stronger and stronger. The emotion he had suppressed for a long time finally got a chance to be realized, so he didn't want to let go at all.

And Huai Lian slowly raised his hand, stretched out his hand and patted his arm, and gently bent the corner of his mouth: "I don't know, can I get your second button?"

"..." He suddenly let go of her arm, and almost without hesitation, he had already grabbed the second button on the school uniform jacket and handed it to her.Huilian put the small golden button with Luoshan's abbreviation branded on it in his hand, his eyes overflowed with the most gentle look.And Akashi looked at her condescendingly, seeing her expression, couldn't hold back for a moment, and suddenly reached out to support her waist, lifted her whole body, and let her sit on the table next to her.

And Eileen didn't expect Akashi to pick her up and put her down directly, because the height difference reduced by sitting on the table allowed her to look directly at Akashi.

It was the first time she stared at his scorching red eyes from such a distance, and she finally pretended to be calm when she was disrupted by his actions.

It was she who carefully held the button with both hands, and at the same time called him with a blushing face: "Akashi-san?"

"You..." Akashi reached out and raised her chin: "Do you still remember what I told you in the letter that I will study abroad after graduation?"

"I remember." Huilian nodded, with reluctance in her eyes, but it was something she had already been mentally prepared for.

"...Maybe six years." He looked at her, and suddenly changed his tone: "No, five years at the latest."

"During the past five years, I will come back to Japan every holiday. On the days when I really can't spare time to go back to Japan, I can also buy you a plane ticket for you to come to the United States... I think I can also see you every week depending on the situation. Make a long-distance call for at least an hour."

"In addition, before I officially go to the United States, there is still a buffer period of nearly half a year, during which we can go to different places."

"Get along like this, if I survive five years, I will come back and marry you... Is this okay?"

He stared at her with extremely serious eyes, and put his hands beside Eileen, but she was frightened by his sudden oath, and felt her heart beating so hard that she could not control it, she held him for a second The hand holding the button slowly tightened, and smiled helplessly: "It's too far, idiot."

"No, you've got to have this level of awareness if you want to accept my second button."

"Wow, is this such a heavy button?" Eren pretended to raise an eyebrow between his arms.

"Then do you want to pay me back?" Akashi raised the corner of his mouth, looking at Eileen smiling like a spring breeze.

She shook her head firmly: "...I will never return the candy you just got."

"Then, you have to make up your mind—"

He was also amused by her cute reaction, and then reached out to caress her cheek, bowed his head to kiss her lips, and even kissed her again and again——
