Jenai is tired after a week

Huang Lai probably didn't expect her to say it so directly, she froze for a moment, her face turned red, and she coughed a few times in embarrassment.

No denial.

Zhenai understood, and said frankly, "He never told me about this."

Kise nodded calmly: "I guess so."

It's just a past practice, not a "rule", Zenai thought, if it was Akashi, no one would have any objections even if he found a male dance partner.

But it will make others misunderstand.

She suddenly realized that this might also be Akashi's purpose, and her mood suddenly became subtle.

If it was still the Akashi-kun she was familiar with, she would definitely not use this kind of trick...

It's a bit childish to say, but just because he doesn't usually do this, it makes her find it very interesting.

Probably... because Akashi likes her, he has become confident.

For Zhenai, whether to continue to maintain an obedient and obedient character is a matter of thought.When she saw Akashi, seeing his normal expression, she still held back.

It is not accurate to say that it is about the same as usual. Akashi is obviously in a good mood. If he had been before, he would probably have noticed her hesitation.

The street lights on the school road were slightly dim, casting a vague shadow on his face. Zhe Nai also couldn't see his expression clearly, so he stared at the pattern of floor tiles under his feet, and followed him slowly through the long cherry blossom forest.

It was an unusual music classroom.It is not as gorgeous as Yinglan's PR department. In her opinion, there is a crystal lamp with a very similar style. The light flickers and reflects blurred colors.It may be the standard decoration of aristocratic schools. They are both from aristocratic families and have the same taste.

Talking about teaching her dance practice, Akashi did it in a very orderly manner.

He explained the postures and dance steps carefully, and after confirming that Zhe Nai had memorized them, he took her to practice.The movements are also very regular, with one hand behind her waist and the other hand holding her wrist.

He was dressed very casually today, the collar of his shirt was unbuttoned, and a button was undone, revealing a shiny silver chain.Slightly different from the previous style, Genai glanced at it, and heard Akashi sigh: "...you should focus on your footwork."

"I'm sorry." Zhe Nai realized something was wrong when he stepped on it, but unfortunately he couldn't take it back, and apologized earnestly.

But she kept apologizing, but didn't improve, so it seemed that she had bad intentions.

She hesitated and asked, "How about I feel it first?"

silence.

Zenai looked up and met his eyes.

The golden eyes were shining brightly under the crystal lamp, making them even more mysterious: "I really want to know, how long have you been practicing shooting?"

This, Zenai replied without thinking: "If you count the irregular practice before...it's been three or four years."

Akashi's expression became more serious, subtle: "Sorry, I have never seen such a talentless person."

"..."

This is very rude to say.

As soon as he said it, he felt that it was not appropriate, but he also wanted to save face, and he didn't want to take it back, so he looked away and pretended to be calm.

But it's not really like nothing happened.

Akashi persisted for less than half an hour. After thinking about whether he would become the second Kise, he thought about the work matters he needed to deal with, and did not allow any room for mistakes, so he made a very decisive decision.

- rein in the cliff.

Zenai finally had a chance to rest.Compared with club training, dancing is not tiring, but it is not a pastime that she is interested in. Repeating these monotonous movements becomes extremely boring.

But she still can't remember.

Perhaps in Akashi's view, she probably did it on purpose.

Zenai picked a cushioned bench and sat down, swinging his legs to relax, looking at the empty classroom, listening to the serenade slowly playing from the gramophone, and looking at Akashi standing by the piano stand, he Putting on his coat, he looked at the floor as if lost in thought.

In order to practice, she specially changed into sportswear and shoes to facilitate activities tonight.She introspected in shame, just this is too horrible to look at, what would happen if she put on a skirt and high heels?

She's fine, but the partner is.

Zhe Nai breathed a sigh of relief, raised his chin, and said solemnly: "Jun Zheng, there are many things in the world that cannot be changed by manpower. Sure enough... let's not force it."

Akashi snorted coldly: "What if I have to force it?"

...you have the wrong script, sir.

Zhe Nai thought carefully for a while, and proposed: "So——you can change your partner, or I can change another one?"

"..."

Akashi showed that inscrutable expression again, as if he wanted to object, but couldn't find a suitable explanation, so he could only remain silent.

He didn't seem to think how suffocating the atmosphere was, but Zhe Nai found it difficult, so he picked up a topic at random: "How is the inspection of the candidate mentioned earlier, Zheng Jun?"

"that……"

Akashi paused, then pulled away from his contemplation, and smiled at her: "I'll introduce you to another day."

Although everyone has always been very confident in Akashi's judgment, and Zenai thought so before, but now seeing him slightly distracted, he couldn't help being a little suspicious—no, it can't be said to be suspicious.

It should be an inquiring mind.

What kind of person is that?

……

Since both parties were full of shadows about this social dance practice, Zhenai decided to spend the leisure time on the weekend in the library, and said that she would try to find time to continue practicing... Ah, of course, after saying this When she said a word, she didn't quite believe it herself.

Akashi was noncommittal.

After turning off the lights, there was silence in the music classroom, and they separated downstairs.Before leaving, his face was dark and deep, and the coat on his shoulders fluttered with the movement of his strides, making him look full of momentum.

Since he didn't say next time, it meant that he was indeed shaken, and she was relieved.

As the final exam is approaching, the number of students in the library has increased again. On Sunday, it is difficult to find a vacancy in the reading room and study room.

Of course, Zhe Nai didn't come here to study hard. She walked around and held a few new novels in her arms, planning to find a place to read slowly.If there is no place to sit, she just finds a corner and sits on the ground with her back against the bookshelf, so she won't be in the way of others.

But today was not so smooth.

Zhe Nai just turned a corner, when a figure suddenly appeared from behind the bookshelf, it was too abrupt, she was not prepared, and there was no time to dodge, the book in her arms bumped into it first, fell to the ground and scattered.

"...Huh." The other party was also a little surprised, and took a few steps back under the impact before standing still, and then swept his gaze towards her, "Are you okay?"

She shook her head.

Just now it was the book that stood in front of it, and if something happened, the book would suffer first.Or whoever she hits.

She looked up and met a pair of indifferent gray eyes.

His appearance was really unremarkable, and his hair was also very light silver-gray. Compared with his face, Zenai noticed the book in his hand first.

The usual cover of light novels with fancy colors is very eye-catching, and "Ringo-chan's Way of the Witch" is written full of cursive characters.

In the same way, after the boy glanced at her a few times, his eyes also fell on the book covers scattered on the floor.

After a brief silence, they met their eyes again, and at the same time, a strange sense of familiarity emerged in their hearts, and they discovered something belatedly.

"Want to help?" the other person asked.

He watched Zhe Nai bend down to pick it up, then squatted down, stacked the two books at his feet, and handed them to her: "You don't need to take so many books at one time, and the borrowing authority for undergraduates is only three books, and these novels are not enough. Someone will rush to see it with you."

She noticed the color of his uniform tie, it should be a third grader.

"Thank you senior." Zenai replied, "I read books faster."

"You're welcome." The boy replied, his voice was cold and flat, his eyes fell, and slowly fixed on her face, the eyes that were too quiet finally showed a glimmer of light, "You are... Heizi Zenai."

It should be a questioning tone, but he said it with certainty.

Zhe Nai was startled when he heard that: "...I am."

She looked at him again, but she still didn't remember having the chance to meet him.

"You probably don't know me." He continued, "I met you by chance, so let me introduce myself—my name is Dai Qianxun, a third-year software engineer."

"Senior Dai." Zhe Nai blinked her eyes. Although she had no impression of this person, but this name... seemed to have been seen somewhere.

"Basketball club?"

She had a flash of inspiration and asked tentatively.

Dai nodded: "So you know. I didn't expect... I was planning to quit the department."

Retire?

Zhe Nai was a little surprised, could it be different from what she thought.

She asked directly: "Didn't Akashi-kun—"

Dai looked at her.

"You guessed right." He said unhurriedly, "Actually, I don't like to imitate others, but Akashi's proposal is also very convincing... So, I also really want to see what you look like."

Zenai needed to look up at him.

Dai Qianxun's height is unremarkable among basketball players, but when she encounters her in life, especially at such a short distance, she will feel a faint oppressive force.I didn't notice it at first because he...was so similar to her that he almost didn't have any sense of existence.

Zhe Nai didn't notice that there was a person behind the bookshelf, and neither did he. The two walked in the original direction, and finally met unexpectedly.

Is it a coincidence, an accident, or a predestined development?

She didn't think about it any further, she withdrew her thoughts, and replied, "I'm honored to be able to make Senior think like this."

Then, she saw a faint smile appearing on Dai Qianxun's bland face, maybe it wasn't a smile, but the corners of her lips were slightly raised.

"It really surprises me to meet in this situation." He said slowly, and then asked, "Would you like to change the place?"

"Is it a basketball court?" Zenai asked.

Dai didn't answer right away, but looked at the books in her arms thoughtfully: "I can borrow two for you."

……

After seeing Dai Chihiro's performance, Zenai probably understood Akashi's thoughts.

The two sat quietly courtside for a while while she explained the ins and outs.

"So that's it." Dai said blankly, "He not only wants me to be the team's passer, but also to assume the more important... captain's role?"

He obviously found it difficult to accept. Although he had no expression, his tone was undisguised.

"Senior, don't you think it can't be done?" Zhe Nai fiddled with the basketball in his hand and spun it slowly on his knees.

"Beyond expectations." Dai said directly, "Akashi thinks too highly of me. As you can see, my abilities are nothing special compared to others."

"I also think that Senior Dai's character is not suitable for being a captain." She nodded, "It's good to be able to maintain a calm mind, but on the basketball court, what's more needed is passion."

Pointing it out in person is a bit rude to seniors.

Dai heard this, frowned slightly, and looked down at her.

"I think, I know why he insisted on looking for me." He smiled vaguely, "After seeing you."

"Akashi doesn't value my abilities, but yours."

Dai Qianxun looked at the bench beside the pile of books borrowed from the library.The two of them have six borrowing rights, except for one copy of "Ringo Sauce", the rest are what Zhe Nai wants.

He picked up a book, flipped through it casually, and asked casually, "He likes you so much?"

Zhe Nai looked at the cover of the book in his hand: "Cinderella at Twelve O'Clock", thinking for a while.

"I don't know...Maybe it's just that I can't get it, so I want it more?"

"It's also possible that the boss likes ordinary girls." Dai said in a skilled tone, "I didn't expect you to like watching these."

"Materials are needed."

From this, Zhenai was convinced that the light novel that appeared in his hands was not an accident.

She looked at "Ringo Sauce": "What about nerds, do they all like loli with big breasts and small teeth?"

"..."

The two looked at each other.

Dai said, "You look a lot like me."

Zhenai deeply agrees.She looked up, noticing for the first time that the hostility he had hidden beneath the surface had disappeared.

This should be a historic light novel establishment of diplomatic relations.

The author has something to say: Akashi:?
