that touch of blue

Chapter 9

The sky was blue, the sun was setting, and the car was driving on the way to Atobe's house.Zhan Lan looked at Tokyo outside the car window, but didn't speak.The car was very quiet, so quiet that no sound came out.Sitting next to Qinglan, Xiangri was embarrassed to feel the different sights from all around, from Atobe, Shinobu, Feng, and Akutagawa who always fell asleep as soon as he got into the car but now had his eyes wide open.He felt thorns all over his body. If he had known this way, he wouldn't get in the car before Akutagawa and sit next to Zhanlan.

Xiang Ri touched the bristling hairs on his body, and said nonchalantly: "Lan Lan, you, what do you like to eat?" Everyone's raised hearts fell back to their original positions with a plop.

"It's all fine." Zhan Lan took off the earplugs, looked at Xiang Ri, and replied seriously.

"Hey, then I'll invite Sister Lanlan to eat strawberry cake. I know there is a shop that has delicious cakes." Akutagawa poked his head over from Atobe and took Mukahi's words.Xiang Ri gritted his teeth and looked at him, but the person concerned didn't feel it.

"Oh, good." Zhanlan replied, but saw Atobe gave Akutagawa a chestnut: "Jiro, don't walk through this uncle to talk."

"Yes, yes." Akutagawa grievously rubbed his painful head, his poor head.

Xiang Ri was secretly amused, he tried his best not to laugh so exaggeratedly, and endured it, he continued: "The mousse cake of Atobe's is also delicious, and vanilla ice cream."

"Yeah." Zhan Lan didn't know how to respond to Mr. Xiang Ri who was so excited. When he saw him, he remembered the lively little monkey he met in Osaka a few days ago, but that little monkey was redder than the one in front of him. Animals with hair are much more lively.

"Hey, Sister Lanlan, I'll give you my mousse cake." Akutagawa, who has no long memory, poked his head over again, and Atobe slapped him heartily again.

Zhanlan always thought it was funny, this classmate Akutagawa with limp hair is not ordinary fun, if he took a photo of his life record and sent it to Xiaoxin who is traveling in Yunnan, I guarantee that she will burst into laughter.

Zhanlan watched Akutagawa rubbing his hairy head with a slight smile, and raised the dv in his hand to take pictures of Akutagawa's movements.Xiang Ri leaned his head over and looked at the photos in the Zhanlan dv, some familiar characters appeared, outstanding players who could be seen every time in the national competition.

"Hey, Lanlan knows them, the main candidates of Sitianbao Temple Tennis Club?" Xiang Ri asked curiously.

"Stayed together for half a day." Zhan Lan was telling the truth. She only knew Little Monkey and the others for half a day, but judging from their relationship, they seemed like old friends who had known each other for a long time. Could it be that Japanese people are like this enthusiasm?

"Hey, Sister Lanlan, let me teach you how to play tennis." Akutagawa said without giving up, he had to do a good job of lobbying Zhanlan to start playing tennis.

"I don't like playing tennis, thank you." Zhanlan wondered why everyone who knew her wanted her to learn how to play tennis. The little monkey was like this, and so was Akutagawa. She looked at everyone present in the same way .

Akutagawa drooped his shoulders, lowered his head, then raised his head suddenly, walked around Atobe, walked between Zhanlan and Xianghi, and forced Xianghi to move a position to the right.He proudly demonstrated to Xiangri, sat down triumphantly, and said to Zhanlan solemnly: "Hey, sister Lanlan calls me Cirou, don't call Akutagawa-kun, it's so unfamiliar to say it like this."

"okay."

"Ah, Jiro, why are you stealing my lines? Lan Lan, you can also call me by my name in the future, so that our relationship will go further." Xiang Ri was made incoherent by Akutagawa's words, unable to articulate, To confuse those present.

The scene suddenly turned cold because of Xiang Riyueren's words, everyone looked at the blushing Xiang Ri with strange eyes, and Xiang Ri wished there was a hole in the car for him to get in.

In the end it was Feng who broke the embarrassing situation.

"Lanlan, those girls didn't do anything to you just now, did they?"

Zhanlan shook her head, indicating that she was safe, but the rest of the people didn't understand.

"What's the matter? Which girls?" Cilang asked with concern. Could it be that the life of the lovely Lanlan sister is threatened?

"A group of school girls surrounded Lan Lan just now, I was afraid that they did something to Lan Lan?" The honest Feng hurriedly told the senior what happened.

"Hey, Sister Lan Lan wasn't injured, right? They didn't bully you, who are they?" Ci Lang showed his mother skills in front of everyone for the first time.

"It's not someone's support group." Akane, who specially said the word "support group" very emphatically, looked at the two most vocal people in the tennis club.

"Cut, it really doesn't fit my grandpa's gorgeous aesthetics! Isn't it, Huadi." One of the parties touched the tear mole.

Dashu, who was sitting opposite him, dutifully responded again: "wushi!"

Zhanlan said softly: "It seems to be Suzuki. I heard from others that she is Ninzu-kun's fiancée." Zhanlan kindly shared the information she knew.Resisting the glasses that were about to fall, a ray of light flashed across the lenses.

The teenagers all stared at Renzu who was nipping his glasses, not knowing what to say, and suddenly fell into embarrassment again.

"Lanlan speaks Japanese very well. I heard Senior Shinozu say that Lanlan didn't grow up in Japan." Feng played the role of an angel again and quickly resolved the embarrassment.

Zhan Lan looked out the window and said in a low voice: "Ah, I was born in China, my father is Japanese, and my mother is Chinese. I learned Japanese from my father."

"Hey, your father is Japanese, why did you go to China?" Cirou actually didn't fall asleep at the critical moment, and asked a crucial question, everyone couldn't help giving him full marks in their hearts.

"For some personal reasons, my parents settled in China." Zhan Lan didn't want to say so much, but simply mentioned it briefly. She didn't want so many people to know about her family affairs.

"Oh, what about your father? Does he work in China?" This very sharp question was raised by Yue Ren, who really wanted to know why there was no father in those two photos.

Zhanlan didn't speak for a long time, so long that people thought she was angry, after a while, Zhanlan said softly: "Last year, I died in a car accident."

Immediately, there was a dead silence in the car again, and they touched Zhan Lan's sore spot, which was the last thing they wanted to do.

"Ah, ah Nuo, I'm sorry, Lanlan, I, I..." Xiang Ri stammered and didn't know how to express what he wanted to say.

At this critical moment again, Akutagawa, who hadn't fallen asleep, played his role in saving the scene: "Hey, Sister Lanlan, you came to Japan to play, right? I can be your guide. When the time comes, I will bring you You have enjoyed the whole of Tokyo, and you can also ask my good friend to take you to visit Kanagawa."

"Kanagawa?" When Zhanlan was a child, she heard her father often chanting this name, and her mother said that it was her father's hometown, the place where her father was born and raised.

"Yes, yes, Bunta is studying in Kanagawa. I haven't gone back for a long time, and I have forgotten how to leave. I can ask him to take you there." Akutagawa excitedly announced his good brother to Zhanlan, Wenta, who was far away in Kanagawa, couldn't help but sneezed several times.

"Thank you, Ci Lang." Zhan Lan smiled slightly, and beautiful dimples appeared.

"Hey, hey, you called me by my name. Hehe." Akutagawa smiled excitedly, and he continued to work hard to make Lanlan sister call him brother, which would be more fulfilling, "Hey, Mrs. Wen and I As big as him, you can call him by his name directly."

"Hmm." Zhanlan looked at Atobe's darkening face and Akutagawa's chattering mouth. The more she thought about it, the more amusing she was. She covered her mouth, turned her face to the other side, and stopped looking at Akutagawa.

"Jiro, go to sleep." Atobe-sama, who usually doesn't want Akutagawa to sleep, at this moment wishes Jirou to shut up and sleep soundly.

Akutagawa looked at Atobe inexplicably, scratched his hair inexplicably, and looked at Atobe's face getting darker and darker, so that he could sleep more in the future, and besides, the information he wanted to get was almost enough now, so he should With a cry, he moved back from Zhanlan's side to Atobe's side, and obediently closed his eyes.

Xiang Ri sat next to Zhanlan again, and happily asked, "Hey, sister Lanlan, do you have a mobile phone, can you tell me the number?"

Hearing this question, everyone was shocked, and they all praised Xiang Ri for doing a good job in their hearts.

Zhan Lan took out a pen and paper from her bag, wrote her mobile phone number on it, and handed it to Xiang Ri. The delicate handwriting and the paper with a girly fragrance made Xiang Ri catch it and was reluctant to let it go. He wanted to just stuff it into his trouser pocket However, they were restrained by those few rays of light that could kill people, and dissatisfied, they passed the note around, and the light disappeared. The teenagers took out their mobile phones and wrote down the number on it. Naturally, Atobu would not do it Such an unglamorous thing, but Mr. Huadi took out three mobile phones from his pocket and memorized each one.The note circled around and returned to Xiang Ri's hand.

Ren Zu and Xiang Ri have partnered for six years, so they naturally understand his temper very well. Like Ci Lang, he never refuses anyone. A person who treats him a little bit can win his heart, but Xiang Ri rarely let go of his guard against girls. Ri unexpectedly listed Zhanlan as a friend so easily, it seems that this girl does have a unique charm.

The car gradually slowed down and drove into a villa area.Getting down from the car, Zhanlan stared blankly, not for anything else, just for the red roses in the half of the garden, now it is the season when the roses are in full bloom, all I can see is a fiery red in front of me, dazzling red, so red that people can't open their eyes open your eyes.

Zhanlan didn't say anything, followed the purple-gray haired boy in front of him into the villa, this is a typical western building, with a resplendent exterior, marble floors, mahogany handrails, white walls and ceilings, hollowed-out windows, and exquisite crystal chandeliers , gorgeous will not feel clichéd at all.

Huadi naturally threw Akutagawa on the sofa, Xiangri took Qinglan's hand naturally, and said to her: "Lanlan, let's play F1 together."

Zhan Lan shook her head, she had never been in contact with these boys' games, but heard that the boys in the class often mentioned that she often played intellectual games.

Xiang Ri continued without backing down: "Then let me teach you, it's very simple."

Atobe said to the butler standing behind him: "You take Miss Zhanlan to her room."

"Yes, master." The housekeeper of Atobe House walked up to Zhanlan and bowed softly, "Miss Zhanlan, please follow me."

Zhanlan smiled apologetically at Xiang Ri, followed the butler and left the living room, who knew that when she opened the door, Zhanlan stood there, and the walls were covered in girlish pink, pink bed, pink wardrobe, pink The desk, the small pink sofa, and the pink curtains, except for the white walls, this is simply a pink world, and Zhanlan looked at the room speechlessly.The housekeeper hurriedly asked: "Miss Zhanlan is not satisfied? Because the young master rarely brings girls back, and there is no young lady at home, so we decorated this room according to the preferences of ordinary girls. If the young lady is not satisfied, we can immediately Call for a replacement."

Watching the housekeeper pick up the phone and prepare to dial, Zhan Lan hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm just staying here for a while, so I don't need to spend so much energy getting these things."

Seeing Zhanlan's insistence, the butler didn't say anything more, bowed slightly, and gently closed the door.If Zhan Lan pays more attention at this time, she will find a treacherous smile on the butler's face.He hid in a corner, took out his mobile phone, and quietly dialed a number.

"Ma'am, a young lady came to the house, brought back by the young master... Yes, she came with the young master Renzu... Yes, yes, the young master didn't inform us at first, so I gave her the room you arranged, madam ...Well, okay, I will take good care of that lady...well, that lady is very beautiful...yes, I understand." The butler put away the phone, turned around and went to the kitchen to order someone to prepare dinner.
