that touch of blue

Chapter 8

"Yue Ren, hurry up to train, or Atobu will lose his temper." Seeing Yue Ren staring intently at Zhanlan's notebook, and then looking at Atobe's increasingly twitching face, he quickly reminded his partner, otherwise how would he die? None of them will know.

"Hey, Yushi, come and take a look, it's so beautiful." Xiang Ri still stared at the notebook intently, and he even invited his companions to watch it with him.The people standing around him were all attracted to him, and they couldn't help admiring while watching.Even Anato and Hiyoshi, who usually ignore girls, also joined the ranks.

Shinobu put away the racket, walked quickly to them, and watched her private things without the owner's permission, which was immoral.But when he saw the slides scrolling on the computer, he couldn't help but also marvel.By now, Atobe was beginning to wonder if his leadership skills had declined because of the little girl from China.And since that little girl came, Akutagawa, who loves to sleep in the industry, has also reduced his sleep time, and put his head towards it. Could it be that the little girl is more charming than him?

"Atobe, come and take a look." Shinobu insisted on the principle that there are good things to share with friends, and pulled Atobe who was standing aside thinking.

"How can my uncle act so unglamorously?" Atobe glanced at it dismissively, and after a while, his eyeballs were also attracted by these joyful pictures, and he couldn't move away.

The protagonist in the photo is a family of three, a loving father, a gentle mother, a lovely daughter, and a harmonious family of three.The four-year-old daughter sat on her father's shoulders, and the mother looked at the father and daughter with a smile. It seemed that she could hear her daughter's cheerful laughter by the Huangpu River in the setting sun.Another photo shows the two parents sitting close to each other. The white dress and black suit show the characteristics of the two. The seven-year-old girl is wearing a small black suit with a ponytail. hat, running playfully on the green grass.In the third photo, they saw the 11-year-old daughter doing a backflip and hanging upside down, while her father and mother smiled and watched the daughter's neat air movements, and the surprised expressions of the people around formed a sharp contrast.

"Lanlan is so beautiful." Photos of each age group were displayed, and Xiang Ri couldn't help sighing while looking at it.

The figure of the father is missing in No. 13 photos. The mother and daughter are wearing simple white dresses, the young mother has slightly curly long hair, and the young daughter has long straight hair, revealing a touch of sadness in her expression. There is no father in the No.14 photo. The mother and daughter are wearing black clothes, standing solemnly by the sea, surrounded by white lilies, and the slightly fishy sea breeze is blowing their long hair. Such silence.

"Why is there no father in the last two photos?" Feng asked the question that everyone was thinking.

"That's right, that's right. Where's Dad? Why is there no dad? Renzu, do you know the reason?" Akutagawa, who is awake at this moment, is also very curious. The harmonious and beautiful family of three lacks Dad, and it looks like So bleak and lonely.

"I don't know either." Renzu never asked his father about Zhanlan's family, he only knew that Zhanlan's father was Japanese, and he didn't know anything about the rest.

Everyone stayed there immediately, and there was a dead silence on the court.

"What are you doing?" Zhan Lan hung up the phone and went back to the court, only to see all the draft players surrounding her notebook, as if they were discussing something.She suddenly thought of the computer that was not closed, and suddenly thought of those photos.

Hearing Zhan Lan's voice, everyone was even more dumbfounded. Oops, the master is back, how should these thieves who peek at the master's privacy deal with themselves?Zhanlan separated from the crowd, Xiangri and Akutagawa hurriedly stood up from their seats, lowering their heads and not daring to look at Zhanlan.Zhanlan didn't say anything, just put away the computer gently, put it in the backpack, and said to everyone as if nothing had happened: "Your training is over?"

Ninzuzu's glasses slid half a step down, Xianghi and Akutagawa raised their drooping heads, Feng took a step back carelessly, accidentally stepped on Arato, and Anato fell back in pain, Hiyoshi happened to be standing behind Anato and was overwhelmed by him. The three successfully demonstrated the world-famous domino effect.With great difficulty, student Riji was pulled up from the ground by the kind-hearted Feng Jun, holding the racket, and said murderously: "The next one will defeat you, senior."

Atobe, who was touching the mole of tears, and Huadi, who did not participate in this action, stood aside, and were not shocked by Qinglan's words.Atobe glanced at Zhanlan thoughtfully: "All the candidates, hurry up and train."

After Akutagawa heard that nothing happened, he fell to the ground with a "baji" and fell into a deep sleep.Atobe watched this scene happen, and said to Huadi: "Huadi, wake Jiro up for me."

"wushi." Following Huadi's reply, Zhanlan took a step back sensibly, making room for Huadi's big man. Seeing Huadi pick up Cilang, using the traditional Chinese Foshan Wuying Hand, just listen There was another "baji", and Cilang was honored to have an intimate contact with the earth again.

Zhan Lan muttered softly, speaking in Chinese: "This movement is really too skilled, I guess I have used it many times."

"Wow, Atobe, it hurts." Patting the dust off his body, Akutagawa stood up with sleepy eyes, turned around, and said to Zhanlan, "Hey, sister Lanlan, my name is Akutagawa Jiro, and I am better than you." Oh, you want to call me brother, call me brother Cilang, call me brother, come and listen." Akutagawa looked at Zhanlan with very expectant eyes.

Zhanlan lowered her eyes, no one could see a trace of narrowness in those azure eyes, even Atobe, who was always proud of her insight, didn't notice it, the girl looked up at Akutagawa: "No."

"Hey, Sister Lanlan, I've already called you sister, why don't you call me brother?" Akutagawa looked reconciled, he must let Zhanlan call him brother before Xiangri.

"Why should I call you brother? Akutagawa-kun." Zhanlan just didn't want to call him.

"I am older than Lanlan sister, and I have to study for a few years longer than Lanlan sister. I can play tennis and be Lanlan sister's teacher, so you have to call me brother." Akutagawa moved all the reasons. When he came out, he must let Zhanlan call him brother.

"Oh, is it?" Zhan Lan said lightly, lifted the backpack and carried it on his back, "But I don't want to learn tennis, if you beat me, I can think about it." The girl walked out while talking court.

"Ah? Really, then, let's compare." Akutagawa excitedly picked up the tennis ball leaning against the bench, and said to Qinglan's back.

"Are you sure?" Zhanlan raised her fist and said to Akutagawa without looking back.

"Yeah, yum." Akutagawa was even more excited to rush out, but Hiyoshi grabbed the tracksuit.

"Senior Akutagawa, what she wants to compare with you is taekwondo." Everyone knows what Zhan Lan means, only this simple-minded senior who forgets to think excitedly when encountering something interesting doesn't understand.

After listening to Hiyoshi's explanation, Akutagawa stopped and watched all his companions nod to him, only then did he realize that Zhanlan was just joking with him, and he immediately froze.

"Lanlan, where are you going? If you are not familiar with the Ice Emperor, don't wander around." Renzu suddenly found a more important problem, watching Zhanlan's figure drifting away.

Zhanlan stopped, turned around and said, "It's too noisy here, I don't like it."

Shinobu watched her step by step out of sight without a word. Hearing such words, it was the first time that Atobe felt how obtrusive the group of people outside the stadium was.Xiangri and Akutagawa looked anxiously at Qinglan's far away, and looked at Atobe and Shinobu with resentful eyes. Among this group of people, the two of them had the most powerful support team, and they were the two who brought the lovely Qinglan to life. My sister chased me away.Anato straightened his hat, and said to Feng, who was watching Zhanlan leave: "Changtaro, let's go, practice." Hiyoshi held the beat, thinking in his heart, when will he ask her to compete with her, such a young girl How did you reach the level of second-grade black belt.

Leaning under the tree in the grove, Zhanlan closed her eyes, listening to the melodious music coming from the mp3, she was full of thoughts.The screen saver in the notebook is a photo of the family taken on her birthday every year. In the 12 years before her father’s accident, every picture had her father’s figure, but after her father had a car accident, the only owners of the photos were her mother and herself .I remembered what my father said to me at the beginning: Lanlan, if my father is no longer around, you have to take good care of your mother and yourself.Maybe God wanted to verify the truth of what Dad said. God cruelly took his father's young life, leaving orphans and widows alone, facing the family portrait hanging on the wall.

Heavy footsteps sounded, and the thick aroma made people breathless.Zhan Lan opened her eyes, and a dozen high school girls stood in front of her imposingly, staring at her condescendingly.Zhanlan stood up, carrying her bag, and looked at them expressionlessly. From their clothes, it could be seen that they were the richest ladies in the Ice Emperor Academy.

"Are you the woman who came with Shinobu-sama this morning?" a girl with braids said tugging.

"Yes, it must be her." Another person said.

"You didn't refuse after being held by Ninzu-sama. It's really disgusting. Don't you know that Ninzu-sama is Suzuki-senpai's fiancé?" the short-haired girl said fiercely.

Zhan Lan still looked at them blankly, and the bloody scenes that often appeared in novels were truly presented in front of her. Apart from not speaking, she really didn't know what to do?Should he cry aggrievedly, or should he kick down the small tree next to him to show that he is inviolable?

"Why don't you speak up? Don't think that we will be afraid of you if you are a black belt in Taekwondo. The families of our Ninja Support Team members can drag you to death." The short-haired girl increased her threat.

Zhanlan made a decision, that is to ignore, to completely ignore the group of women in front of her.She patted the grass clippings on her body and left without looking back.

The woman in the lead looked at Zhan Lan and regarded herself as nothing, and her face suddenly became dark.In the whole of Japan, there are not many people who dare to ignore her like this. The Suzuki chaebol who can compete with the Atobe consortium, the arrogant young lady can't stand it anymore. She just kicks her leg and pays attention to the movement behind her. Qinglan leaned her body slightly to the left, Miss Suzuki lost her balance and fell to the ground in a very embarrassing stand.

"Suzuki? Are you okay?" Many girls originally planned to look at Zhanlan to make a fool of themselves, but they didn't expect that it was their own person who made a fool of himself.Suzuki blushed and was lifted from the ground with difficulty by everyone, her legs were pulled so painfully.

Zhan Lan continued to walk forward, Suzuki ordered: "You, stop for me."

Zhan Lan ignored it and continued walking forward without turning her head. The woman behind her was no longer worthy of her attention.

"Hoo", a stone flew over, and Zhanlan who didn't pay attention was hit hard on the shoulder. Zhanlan's eyes changed, but quickly returned to normal. There was a hint of coldness.

"What, are you scared?" The short-haired girl weighed the small stone in her hand.

"Father once said that Japanese women are gentle and demure. But I never expected that you would show your true nature for a mere boy," Zhan Lan said coldly what she wanted to say.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Feng appeared in the grove. He was ordered by the Minister to retrieve the little girl. He was very happy to complete this task, but he didn't expect to see a group of fierce people. The girls surrounded this cute little girl and did some unexpected things. If he didn't arrive in time, he really didn't dare to imagine how things would turn out.Feng's heart couldn't help shivering.

When the girl saw that it was Feng, she quickly pretended to be nonchalant.Zhanlan laughed secretly in her heart, patted the stone print on her shoulder, straightened her clothes, smiled and said to Feng: "Mr. Feng, what time do you have?"

"Our training is over, Senior Atobe asked me to come to you, let's go together." Feng smiled softly.

"Oh." Zhanlan naturally followed Feng and left the small forest.

Feng walked and said, "Lanlan, they didn't do anything to you, did they?"

"No, I'm fine." Zhan Lan said lightly, and slightly adjusted the straps on the backpack.

Seeing this, Feng took the backpack hanging from Zhanlan's back very calmly and naturally, and hung it on her body.The girls around looked very curiously at Feng and the girl who came with Renzu this morning, and they talked a lot.
