"Senior Teak."

Chisaki stood behind him and called tentatively.

"What's the matter?" Teak glanced at her, with a faint smile on his face, giving a different impression than usual.

Because Mrs. Teak had something to do and hadn't come back yet, Chisaki's study time was delayed a little.She planned to take this time to ask about what Senior Huoyuan said.

"I heard that senior plans to study abroad!"

"Ah."

"Do you want to give up music?"

Teak looked at her coldly, with no smile on his face.

"Are you trying to meddle in your own business?"

It's none of her business at all, so it can be regarded as meddling in her own business.Chisaki doesn't hate this, sometimes it's okay to meddle in other people's business.She looked up at Senior Teak, and didn't speak for a long time, and finally burst out laughing with a "poof".

"why are you laughing?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, senior. I didn't mean to make fun of you. I just think it's more natural to talk to such a senior. If the senior talks to me with a smile on his face, I will feel that the senior is dangerous."

"What a strange person."

"It's okay, I'm really a bit strange, and I like to be nosy. So, how about satisfying my curiosity, senior? I must know that people who like to be nosy are very difficult to deal with." "Please please" was written all over her eyes.

"There's nothing to give up or not to give up. It's up to me to decide whether to learn or not." Teak expressed his compromise with a cold answer.

Chisaki nodded thoughtfully, which meant that someone else made such a decision. If I think about it further, the only one who can be so stubborn is the old lady.

"Well, I said senior, can't you not give up music? There are many forms you like, and it's not the only way to give up."

"Are you trying to teach my mother a lesson? There's no need for that." Teak sneered.

"I don't mean that. What I want to say is, how about doing things you like and don't like together?"

"Ok?"

"Or, the senior wants to use the lack of time as an excuse to stick to the things he doesn't like, but to give up the things he likes? There is really no way, in fact, it is okay to break the can."

"Huh—?!" Yuki suddenly felt that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the girl in front of him.

"I think, of course, this is just my opinion. It's okay to do things you don't like when you have to. Life itself is not perfect. When it gives you some things, it also takes away some. You can’t use yourself as an excuse to muddle along, and when you can’t resist, how about trying to accept it? It’s much better than passively accepting it all the time, and there may be unexpected gains.”

There was a hint of surprise on Teak's face, and then he returned to the seriousness of the reason, turned his face away, looked at the calm pond in the courtyard, and said coldly: "Don't act like you know everything, you don't know anything."

Chisaki sighed and glanced at his back.

"It's because I don't understand that I'm still on my way. If I understood everything, I would have reached the top. Anyway, that's all I want to say. I'm really sorry if I meddle in my own business."

She turned around and was about to leave here, but with a "pong", she just collided with a pillar of the veranda.

"It hurts—"

"what--"

She forgot that this was already the edge of the verandah, and after hitting her head, she lost her balance, her right foot was suddenly lost, her center of gravity was unstable, and her body fell towards the cobblestone ground like a free fall, Chisaki closed her mouth resignedly Eye.

Suddenly, a hand firmly grasped her arm, and her body stabilized horizontally.

"Hey--"

A cold mocking and helpless voice sounded in her ears, and Chisaki opened her eyes.

"Senior Teak?"

"Ah."

After finding the center, Chisaki was about to stand up with Yuki's help.

"What are you doing?"

A stern voice came from the corner at the end of the veranda. It was the teak old lady. She just came back and saw such a scene.It's no wonder that the old lady, who always puts her reputation more important than anything else, is not angry.

"Oh, I almost fell just now, and Senior Teak helped me up."

The old lady's expression became more serious.

"Azuma, you are a child of the Yuki family, how can you—"

"According to you, is it wrong for Senior Yuki to save me?"

The old lady's tone really made her unhappy, so the words of dissatisfaction blurted out.

"Is this the tone you're talking to an elder? What's more, who knows if you did it on purpose. Let me just say that you are not among Zima's candidates for marriage."

"Huh?!" Candidates for marriage?what?

Teak stopped in front of her.

"Grandmother, I'm so sorry, there won't be a next time."

"It's strange for me to say this, old lady, is this how you usually educate people? Using your power to brainwash others, don't you think your approach is outrageous? Everyone has their own ideas and unique ideas. you only know how to impose your own ideas on others, it’s too much.”

"What an uneducated wild girl." The old lady glared at her angrily.

"Except for you, I really didn't say that I lack education. In other words, even if I lack education, it was you who taught me recently."

"You—" The old lady was annoyed, and could no longer maintain her usual seriousness.

"Tsukishima-san, stop talking."

"I'm going to say that no one is perfect, otherwise everyone in this world would become a saint! So you are no exception. Since you are wrong, it is rare that someone is willing to bring it up. It is good to change it. gone."

"You don't have to come tomorrow."

"I don't care."

-

That being said -

When confronting the old lady, she was only in a feverish mood. After the matter became such a stalemate, she suddenly reacted.

This - did I offend this old lady?That must be the case, the sound of the old lady walking away just now is amazing, that is to say, don't you need to learn etiquette?However, this is the teacher my grandma found for me. How can I explain it to my grandma now?

Countless questions came out of Chisaki's mind, and she was confused.

"Hey--"

"Ah, yes!" She stood up stiffly.

"Grandma has already left." Teak gave her a blank look, and then burst out laughing as if holding back for a long time, "It's a shame that you dare to contradict my grandma like this."

"This, that, the conscience of heaven and earth, I definitely didn't mean it."

"Speaking of which, Xiang Suizi, like you, has done similar things."

"Huh—?! You mean to contradict the old lady?"

"Ah."

"Great, I have the same kind." She smiled. Teak's smile just now was very natural, without intentional elements, so that's all right, and then -

"Forget it, I've screwed up the matter anyway, I'd better think about how to apologize to my grandma!" She lowered her head and stuck out her tongue lightly.

"Speaking of which, it's a shame that you dare to say such things to the elders."

"Hehe, I was just impulsive. Oh, by the way, the candidate for marriage that the old lady mentioned just now, wouldn't it be the girl that the old lady selected for you to marry the senior in the future?" She directly asked what was in her heart. doubt.

"Ah."

"If you can use the word candidate, that means there are a lot of girls like this."

"Yes, why? Chisaki-chan is very interested." Yuzuki smiled brightly.

Chisaki suddenly felt a chill behind her back.

"No, no, just a casual question."
