that touch of blue

Chapter 12

The emperor paid off, and finally the Japanese God heard her deep call. A noodle restaurant appeared in her sight.

When the enthusiastic proprietress saw a guest coming, she warmly greeted her: "Little sister, it's your first time here, what do you want to eat? Our tonkotsu ramen is very famous here."

Tonkotsu ramen?Xiao Jin recommended it to her, so let's try it, it should be very good, seeing that he ate three whole bowls last time, and the three empty bowls were still upside down.

Zhanlan waited quietly for her tonkotsu ramen, only to hear the sound of a cat next to her ear, and it was a cat's voice similar to that of a human. Everyone is curious, and Zhanlan is no exception. She turned her head, It was a big round table. Nine boys were sitting in front of the table, only to hear the boy with red hair curled up slightly saying: "Meow, little one, you have more beef in your bowl than mine." There was something in the boy's tone So a little bit of regret, maybe because Xiaobudian is no longer small, and it's not very comfortable to be bullied at his own size.

Zhan Lan couldn't help but smile inwardly: Is this also comparable?

"Senior, don't snatch the fresh shellfish from my bowl." A boy who seemed to be in a rage roared in a uniquely loud voice, why would senior want to snatch the food from his bowl.

"It's so noisy, hiss." The boy wearing the green turban shouted dissatisfied with his companion.

"What, Viper, want to fight?" The boy with the bristly hair yelled, his voice was louder than anyone else.

The boy in the white hat pressed the hat, protected the beef in the bowl from being snatched by the seniors, and said, not to be outdone, "Cut, madamadadani."

Zhan Lan twitched the corners of her mouth, but didn't laugh out loud.

"Hey, Eiji, would you like to try my ramen?" The brown-haired boy squinted his eyes and looked at the red-haired boy with a slight smile.

The red-haired boy looked at his companion's bowl of green noodles, and shivered: "yada, yada, I don't want it, who can stand your mustard noodles, you'd better eat it yourself." Unless he wanted to die, he would never Touch the face of this always smiling boy.But he never wanted to die, so he would never touch the face of the brunette boy.

And a boy with white square glasses, while eating and recording, added the seasoning on the table to another bowl, only to see that the noodles were changing in various colors under the mixing of the seasoning, Let everyone here shut their mouths.Compared with the mustard side of the brunette boy, the colorful side of the boy with square glasses is more scary.

The only three normal teenagers present were all focused on dealing with the noodles in front of them, and what they practiced was to eat without talking or sleeping without talking.

"Little sister, your tonkotsu ramen is ready." The proprietress served the steaming ramen and said to Zhanlan with a smile. It was the first time she saw such a clean and cute little girl, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Thank you." Zhanlan picked up a pair of chopsticks, stirred the noodles in the bowl, selected fresh pork bones and simmered them for 24 hours, allowing the bone marrow and gelatin to slowly blend into the white soup base. You can drink the milky flavor of fresh bone marrow. Generally, if you cook it with frozen bone, it will completely lose the fresh and natural flavor.The meat slices are specially selected from the tenderloin part, and the gravy is sweet.Sprinkle lightly scented white sesame seeds with fresh ingredients such as vegetables and fungus, so that you can enjoy the pure natural boiled flavor after eating the whole bowl of noodles.

The customers left one by one, leaving only Zhanlan and the group of teenagers in blue and white sportswear.The cell phone rang suddenly, Zhan Lan took out the cell phone in her backpack, pressed the answer button: "Hello?"

"Where are you, why don't you answer the phone, and make a disappearance with me? Ahhh." Atobe's dissatisfied voice sounded from the other end of the phone, and it was really difficult to find her.

"Eh? I'm sorry, I was eating lunch and slept in the car." Zhan Lan knew in her heart that it was her fault, so she quickly apologized.

"You..." Hearing such an answer, Atobe was about to lose his mind.He heard that there was a boy in the Tennis Club of the High School Attached to Lihai University who often sat and stood, but he did not expect to be bumped into him now. Atobe took a deep breath and calmed down, "Then where are you? If there are any special buildings around, my uncle will come to pick you up."

"I'm in Qingxue." Zhan Lan said immediately.

"Ah? Qingxue? Is there such a place in Tokyo?" Atobe was born and raised in Tokyo, and he had never heard of a place called Qingxue.

"How do I know? The driver uncle said." Zhan Lan said firmly.

Suddenly heard a few sneers from the opposite table, Zhan Lan raised her eyes and looked at the nine teenagers opposite.Seeing the blue eyes, the teenagers were slightly taken aback. It was such a pure blue, like a clear and clean sky.

The red-haired boy shouted: "No two, no two, the color of her eyes is the same as yours, so pretty."

The brown-haired boy who called him Budu smiled again, and kept his closed eyes open.

Zhanlan lowered her head and continued to listen to the phone: "Is it Qingxue?" Uncle Atobe said hesitantly.

"It should be." Zhanlan replied.

"Then you wait for me at the gate of Qingxue." Atobe said and planned to hang up the phone.

"Wait, wait, what is Qingxue?" Zhan Lan hurriedly asked.

"Youth Academy." Atobe explained patiently.

"Oh, good." Before Atobe could react, the girl took the initiative to hang up the phone, and Atobe looked at the hung up phone, angrily itching her teeth.

Zhan Lan looked at her phone, there were a total of [-] missed calls, stuck out her tongue, put the phone on the table, and continued to eat ramen.

After a few words, it was another phone call.

"Hey?"

"Ah, Sister Lanlan, where are you? Are you in Tokyo? Kenya said you are in Tokyo." It was Kintaro Toyama from Shitenbao Temple.

"Yes, Qingxue." Zhanlan gently bit off the noodles.

"Hey, hey, why are you in Seigaku? Then when will you come to Arina Forest Park? Let me tell you, the monster I want to defeat is in Seigaku." Kintaro's voice was earth-shattering, and the boy sitting at the opposite table He could hear them clearly, and he added the accent on the word monster.

"Monster?" Zhan Lan repeated, and then glanced at the nine teenagers opposite. There were big tennis bags beside the teenagers. They must be playing tennis."Seigaku" is impressively written on the school uniform, it should be that Seigaku, right?

"Yeah, yeah, that's the man who came back from the United States with a tall body, emitting poison from his fingers, and staring fiercely at the three eyes." Kintaro's voice still played the role of sound transmission through the phone.When the teenagers heard this sentence, they probably understood who the girl was talking to, and they still remembered the grievances and grievances between them and Sitianbao Temple in the past three years.Every game is thrilling.

Zhan Lan smiled slightly, and said, "The voice is as loud as thunder, the appetite is as big as a bucket, and the hair has been sprayed with hairspray n times?"

The hedgehog-headed boy innocently stroked his unshakable hair.

"No." Xiao Jin vetoed it on the other end of the phone.

"Is that the one with a pair of glasses that can't see clearly, and is making some messy, colorful non-food?"

The mirror quickly reflected light, and the mouth opened, revealing white teeth.

"No." Xiao Jin still retorted, "He has something on his head."

"Oh, is that the one who speaks snake language, wears a green turban on his head, and has a rather unfriendly expression?"

As soon as the words fell, fierce gazes followed, perhaps if Zhanlan was a boy, that steely fist would greet him.

"No." Xiao Jin continued to veto, "His hair is not black."

"Uncle Bingshan with a cool face and no smile at all?"

A bitingly cold wind blew past, and several teenagers couldn't help shivering.

"The smiling face with the eyes slit into slits is big... er... big brother?"

The eyes are more curved and the smile is deeper.

"Speaking in a cat's voice, with a ok stretch on your face?"

The red-haired boy pouted dissatisfiedly, and stopped trying to plunder his partner's food.

"Hey, it's not, it's not at all. Sister Lanlan, guess again." The innocent Xiaojin repeatedly denied it.

"That's the one with the upturned nose, the high toes, and the hat?"

"Hey, that's right, that's right. Sister Lanlan, how do you know? You are so smart." Xiao Jin's words came from the microphone, allowing the teenagers to hear clearly.

"Because they are sitting next to me." Zhanlan smiled slyly, her blue eyes slightly curved.

"Ah..." Xiao Jin was stunned.

The phone was picked up by someone else, and Kenya Ninzu's voice came over: "Sister Lanlan, you are in Tokyo with Yushi, aren't you, are you coming to the game in the afternoon?"

"En." Zhan Lan nodded, the noodles had cooled down slowly.

"Then we'll wait for you, that's it, bye." Qianye hung up the phone, and when the phone was closed, she heard Kintaro's voice: Hey, Qianya, I haven't finished talking on the phone yet. , how did you hang up.

Only Baishi replied: Zhansang is having lunch, your phone will disturb her.

Zhan Lan picked out the noodles, saw that there was nothing to eat in the bowl, drank a few mouthfuls of the fragrant soup, wiped her mouth, walked up to the proprietress, and asked softly, "Excuse me, how much is it?"

"400 Dan." The proprietress replied with a smile. She listened to everything the little girl said just now.

"Yes, thank you, the ramen is delicious." Zhanlan put the backpack on her back, adjusted the shoulder straps lightly, bowed slightly, and pushed the door out.

Fuji opened his ice-blue eyes, and said softly, "Tezuka, a very interesting little girl."

"Ah." The iceberg boy called Tezuka responded.

"She did it on purpose, the next thing will be very interesting." Fuji closed his eyes and said again.

"Hey, Fuji, she's not cute at all, and she actually said that I talk like a cat. How can I have a meow?" Eiji continued to pout aggrievedly.

"In the first place, Senior Kikumaru." The boy Yaya and a boy with a small scar on his forehead echoed the words of the girl with blue eyes in low voices.

"Hey, little one, Yuta, how can you talk about seniors like this." Kikumaru Eiji, with sharp ears, immediately took out his senior status to suppress others.

"Okay, Eiji, hurry up and eat. The game is about to start. I said it's good to eat near the park. You guys have to go back to eat near the school. If you are late, you won't be able to observe our opponent's performance in the next game. Then we will not know enough about them, and we will suffer in the game..." Before the egg-headed boy could finish speaking, everyone was overwhelmed.

"Let's go." Tezuka gave an order, and all the teenagers put their tennis bags on their backs, and went to the car after paying the bill.After leaving the noodle shop, I saw a red sports car picking up the girl just now, passing by them with a "swish".
