[Net King] Quickly pay back the money

"Echizen...you, why are you here?" Probably surprised by Echizen Ryoma's sudden appearance, the two who were peeping were a little tangled in their conversation, after all, peeking at a girl's panties is not something glorious.

Their reaction seemed to be expected, the corner of the boy's mouth curled up, "I came here specially to remind the seniors, if you don't go to the club, you will be late."

Echizen Ryoma obviously had an expression of looking forward to the show, and besides, Aoki Kuriko also blushed, staring at them in bewilderment.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Arai tugged at the sleeve of the person next to him, "Yamada, let's go."

"Tch, the brat is really nosy."

While speaking, the two disappeared in a flash.

Seeing the two leave in a hurry, Echizen Ryoma blinked, and looked back at Aoki Chestnut, whose face was still red, but before he could speak, the girl took the first step and said: "That... Echizen, can you beat your beat... Shall we move first?"

"..." The movement was maintained just now, and Echizen Ryoma finally reacted, moved the tennis racket away, and put it on his shoulder, "Sorry."

Aoki Chestnut squatted down, bent over and sorted out the albums scattered on the ground in a hurry.Perhaps it was the sequelae of the incident just now, she always grabbed her skirt with her hands from time to time, then looked up at the boy next to her with a blushing face, "Just now... Thank you so much."

Echizen Ryoma leaned against the wall with his hands behind his head, pointing at the vending machine in the corridor downstairs, "That's all?"

"Eh?" Aoki Kuriko packed up the album, stood up again, looked at Echizen Ryoma dully, really didn't understand what he meant, so asked: "Is there anything else?"

"Hmm..." Echizen Ryoma looked at her meaningfully, and finally shook his head and turned to leave, "I'm leaving first, there are still club activities."

Chestnut Aoki was a little puzzled, and stood there puzzled for a while.Finally, seeing that Echizen Ryoma was about to go far, she walked down two flights of steps, and shouted at the boy through the gap: "Hey, Echizen...to express my gratitude, how about giving you a painting of mine?"

"……what?"

To be honest, Echizen Ryoma didn't think about meddling in other people's business, helping Kuroko Aoki to hold down the hem of her skirt.But when I did see that scene, I was a little powerless.But the meaning of what he said just now was actually to say 'I want to drink Fanta', but the girl unexpectedly answered him 'I'll give you a picture I drew by myself'.

Is she planning to draw a Fanta for herself?

Echizen Ryoma thought this way, and before he knew it, he had reached the tennis club.At this time, the work of the tennis club had already started, but this super rookie was gloriously late because he helped the girls hold down the skirts.

In this regard, even if he was the only first-year candidate, the head of the tennis department, Tezuka Kunimitsu, would not open the back door for him privately. However, this head of Bingshan said without thinking: "Echizen, go around the playground ten times."

Such a result was within his expectation, Echizen Ryoma glanced at Tezuka expressionlessly, then obediently ran to the playground to run laps.Looking at such a scene, Arai and Yamada, who were reprimanded by the first-year elementary school boy for trying to peep just now, were hiding aside and laughing.

——You deserve it, why are you so handsome!

The gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose reflected light, and they sensed that someone was slacking off. Standing at the door of the tennis club, Minister Tezuka Kunimitsu said bluntly: "Arai and Yamada are lazy, and they will be fined ten laps."

"..."

This time it was the turn of Echizen Ryoma who was running a circle not far away to snicker.

>>

In fact, Kuriko Aoki was also very confused about what kind of painting she wanted to give Echizen Ryoma.When she told the story exactly to Amuro Sana who was also painting next to her, the senior almost laughed and said, "Hey, Lizi, you are such a hero to save the beauty, you only give one Is it a painting?"

"Is it not possible?" Aoki Lizi picked up the brush and rubbed it on the canvas, "Can't Japan express its gratitude by sending paintings?"

Amuro Sana is also relatively familiar with Aoki Kuriko's identity.Knowing that she is of mixed Chinese and Japanese, the family opened a Chinese restaurant, and it is said that the business is very good.

Touching Kuroko Aoki's head amusedly, Sana Amuro said: "Of course, then tell me what kind of painting you want to give to Echizen."

Chestnut Aoki pouted and looked at her complainingly, "Senior sister, did you understand my point? If I knew what to paint for him, I wouldn't have come to ask you."

"Hmm..." Sana Amuro pondered for a while before proposing, "Why don't you give Echizen a framed rose."

There was a sound of "thump--".

After Aoki Chestnut heard the proposal from the senior, she was stunned on the chair for a long time, but she lost her balance and almost fell to the ground.

The girl tidied up her appearance, angrily and amusedly tugged at the corner of Sana Amuro's clothes, "Sister, don't scare me, okay, do you know what rose means?"

"Doesn't it mean 'I love you'?" Sana Amuro spread her hands, speaking in such a calm manner.

This move provoked Aoki Lizi to throw a sanitation ball. "Senior sister, you'd better not talk."

"..."

In the end, the girl had no choice but to automatically ignore Sana Amuro's proposal. After thinking about it for a long time, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have said something like this before at the library door——

——"The framed chrysanthemum will be burned for you next year."

"Pfft!" Aoki Lizi suddenly laughed.

Facing the girl's weird behavior, Sana Amuro, who was drawing next to her, pinched her cheek, "Kurizi, you're sad and smiling, aren't you crazy?"

"That's not true." Aoki Lizi waved his hand, "I know what I'm going to give."

"Ok?"

One day later, when Echizen Ryoma passed by the exhibition board on the first floor of the teaching building, he found that the row of chrysanthemum pictures exhibited by the Art Department had all been removed.Later, when I saw the painting of Chestnut Aoki again, it was at the door of my classroom.Of course, at that time the boy didn't know that the girl was holding that painting.

While planning to take a nap during class, Satoshi Horio stopped himself with a look of "I envy, I envy, I hate", "Echizen, a girl is looking for you." Then, he whispered in Echizen Ryoma's ear, "Hey, Echizen, does this girl have a crush on you?"

Touching the black hair that was messy because of sleeping, the boy gave him a sideways glance without saying a word, and lazily walked to the back door of the classroom, and saw Aoki Chestnut standing at the door holding a framed painting.

The painting was wrapped in light brown kraft paper, and he didn't know what picture was inside.

I saw the girl smiling very happily at the moment, "Thank you for that incident last time, Echizen. So, in order to express my gratitude, please don't accept this painting carelessly." After finishing speaking, he handed the painting to give him.

The boy who hadn't reacted subconsciously went to catch it, and looked at her in confusion, "What did you draw?"

"Hmm..." Aoki Lizi dragged out a long monosyllable, innocently spread his hands and shrugged, "You will know when you go home and take it apart."

"..." Echizen Ryoma looked at the picture frame in his hand in a daze, and when he came back to his senses again, he found that the girl had hopped away.

I didn't understand why she looked so happy just now, and the young man who was always anxious about his emotional intelligence automatically ignored this part.So much so that, when he took this painting home, Echizen Nanjiro, who was ringing the bell on the clock tower, showed a weird smile that violated harmony.

"Hey, boy, what are you holding in your hand?" Poking his face out from behind the swimsuit girl magazine, showing a meaningful smile, Echizen Minamijiro looked curiously at what his son was holding in his hand, "Is it a photo frame?" ?”

"No." Echizen Ryoma quickly replied, "It's a painting."

My son came back holding a painting for no reason?

Faced with such a rhythm that is undoubtedly gossip, Echizen Nanjiro jumped down from the clock tower uneasy and kind, and stretched out his hand to grab the painting in Echizen Ryoma's hand, "Which beautiful girl gave it to you?" Love token?"

Hearing such sensitive words as 'beautiful girl' and 'a token of love', the corners of Echizen Ryoma's mouth twitched visibly, "No."

"Hahaha." Hearing the boy's answer, Echizen Nanjiro suddenly laughed, "You don't have to be embarrassed, come, let me see what kind of painting it is."

Echizen Ryoma glanced at the painting in his hand, and finally handed it to Echizen Minamijiro, and the two walked straight towards the house.

Since the painting was wrapped in several layers of kraft paper, it seemed a bit troublesome to take it apart.But the owner of the painting carefully wrapped it so tightly, it seems that he cares about his work very much.Echizen Nanjiro paused, and when he tore off the last layer of kraft paper, he looked at the bright yellow picture and felt a little uncomfortable.

But it is undeniable that——

"The owner of this painting is very careful, and the artist is very good, but...is this...a rape flower?" Echizen Nanjiro said incredulously.

At this time, the boy who was standing in the back room opened the refrigerator and took a can of grape Fanta and was about to drink it, almost spit it out.After several rounds, I didn’t slow down. I strode over to have a look, and then realized—isn’t this the chrysanthemum picture exhibited on the first floor?

Thinking of Aoki Kuriko taking a ready-made painting as a thank you gift, Echizen Ryoma suddenly remembered the scene of the two arguing in front of the library not long ago.

——"The framed chrysanthemums will be burned for you next year...the framed chrysanthemums...the chrysanthemums..."

Immediately feeling a little powerless, he raised his eyes and kindly reminded his poor-headed old man, "This is a chrysanthemum, not a rape flower."

For this perverted old man with only beautiful women on his head, Echizen Ryoma didn't expect his appreciation of paintings to be several grades higher than his own.

But what the old man said successfully confused Echizen Ryoma's thoughts.

"Huh? Chrysanthemums?" Echizen Nanjiro rubbed his head, "Then what is the meaning of this girl giving you chrysanthemums? Generally, no one would give someone a painting for no reason."

Chestnut Aoki did not give her painting for no reason, but to express her gratitude.

Thinking of this, the young man shrugged his shoulders, and returned to his room indifferently, "How do I know what she meant by sending this painting to the studio?"

"Oh..." After hearing Echizen Ryoma's words, Echizen Minamijiro made a weird dragging sound, laughing like a cat stealing, "You finally admitted that it was given by a girl?"

"..." For a moment, Echizen Ryoma was speechless.

——Damn it, he was tricked by his old man.

Echizen Ryoma drank the last sip of Fanta and threw it into the trash can in the living room without any mistakes, "Why did you think it was given by a girl at first?"

Facing the boy's question, Echizen Minamijiro answered as it should.I saw him pointing to the signature in the lower right corner, "kuri... Chestnut, such a cute name must be a girl."

Facing Echizen Minamijiro's analysis, Echizen Ryoma was a little confused, "I don't think this name is cute at all."

In the end, the boy found a reason to go back to his room to do his homework and left first.When I finished my homework and walked out of the room, I found that the old man was still studying the meaning of Aoki Chestnut's painting.

Sitting on the promenade, he was playing with Karubin with a cat teasing stick, when he suddenly heard Echizen Nanjiro not far away, as if he had suddenly realized, he tapped on the palm of his hand.

"I see!"

"..." Echizen Ryoma looked at him with his mouth curled up, but didn't speak.

Echizen Nanjiro walked to sit beside him with the painting in his arms, and asked with a smile, "Young man, do you know what the flower language of chrysanthemum is?"

"Huh?" Echizen Ryoma showed a bitter face.

How could the tsundere boy, who has been in the tennis circle all year round, study the flower language of each flower?The world is so big, there are so many kinds of flowers, even if he wants to remember, he may not be able to remember what the flower language of chrysanthemum is.

Echizen Minamijiro stroked his chin triumphantly, and said to himself, "It must be, boy, this girl is definitely interested in you."

"..." Echizen Ryoma still didn't speak, but looked at him in astonishment.

"The flower language of chrysanthemum actually has many meanings, such as cleanliness, nobility, and true love..."

After listening to Echizen Minamijiro's analysis, Echizen Ryoma blinked in embarrassment.He replied: "Then she must have no meaning in sending me off."

Moreover, another weird meaning of chrysanthemum has been widely circulated on the Internet recently.

"Boy, don't interrupt me." Echizen Nanjiro said angrily, then frowned, "The flower language of chrysanthemum... also means 'I love you'."

"..." Echizen Ryoma blinked, then blinked again, and finally the corners of his mouth twitched, "Old man, then I would rather believe that she sent me because of uneasy intentions."

"what?"

>>

"Ah-choo!" Sitting in front of the easel and finishing this week's project, Chestnut Aoki sneezed fiercely while covering her mouth, and then took two paper towels from the nearby cabinet to wipe.

It just so happened that Mrs. Aoki came in with fruit and watched the girl sniffing and throwing the tissue into the trash.

"Have you caught a cold?" Mrs. Aoki asked with concern, stretching out the fruit plate in her hand.

Chestnut Aoki waved her hand with a smile, forked a strawberry on the plate and put it into her mouth, "No, it's just a sudden itchy nose."

"That's good." She smiled, put the fruit plate on the desk next to her, and looked around, "Speaking of it, Chestnut. What about the study you drew at home?"

"Mom, which one are you talking about?" The girl put another strawberry into her mouth while speaking.

Mrs. Aoki walked to the cabinet where the girl usually stored her picture frames, looked at it again and again, "It's the one you took to the school exhibition not long ago, it's a very beautiful picture of chrysanthemums."

"That." Aoki Chestnut paused, "Well... I gave it away."

"Huh? Give it to someone? To whom?"

Facing Mrs. Aoki's question, and fearing that her mother might misunderstand something, the girl had a showdown.He said that his classmates helped him solve some troubles before, and borrowed his own clothes to wear home, so giving the painting to others is a thank you gift.

It sounds reasonable, but Mrs. Aoki was a little disappointed, "Ah... I'm going to hang that painting in the hotel, it's really beautiful."

Being praised for the beauty of her paintings is naturally satisfying the vanity of being a first-year junior high school girl.But this point of Mrs. Aoki made Aoki Lizi very puzzled, "Mom, even if it is hanging in a restaurant, there is no need to hang a pair of chrysanthemums."

And the meaning of chrysanthemums is not particularly good - except for the weird Internet explanation, in China, chrysanthemums are bouquets used when visiting graves.

"That's true." Mrs. Aoki thought for a while, "But speaking of it... the flower language of chrysanthemums is quite good."

"Flower language?" Forgot that there was such a thing as flower language, and thought that he offered to send Echizen Ryoma a painting to express his gratitude, Aoki Kuriko immediately asked: "What is the flower language of chrysanthemums?"

Seeing that her daughter was a little nervous, Mrs. Aoki blinked her bright black eyes in surprise, "Why are you so nervous? Speaking of which... You gave the painting to the boy who borrowed your clothes last time, right?"

"Yes!"

"Oh..." Mrs. Aoki stroked her chin and thought for a while, "The flower language of chrysanthemums means purity, nobility, and true feelings..."

After listening to his mother's explanation, Aoki Lizi heaved a sigh of relief, and muttered to himself: "That's great, fortunately there is no other meaning."

But Mrs. Aoki's next sentence made Chestnut Aoki scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

"It also means 'I love you'." Mrs. Aoki paused, looking meaningfully at her daughter's embarrassed and messy face, "You don't mean to be really interested in that boy, do you?"

Aoki Lizi stood up from the chair with a "shua", almost knocked over the palette next to him, and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, I really don't know what it means!"

She decided to give Echizen Ryoma's pair of chrysanthemums, obviously because the meaning of chrysanthemums is not a good word!

Why did it become like this! ! !

"Don't be shy, it's normal for girls at this age to have boys they like." Not knowing that her daughter was close to petrification, Mrs. Aoki was still teasing.

Chestnut Aoki struggled to squeeze out a sentence, "Mom, I really didn't mean that, I just gave him a painting to express my gratitude..."

"Oh? Is that so?" Mrs. Aoki smiled, and then asked: "But, does that boy know the language of chrysanthemums..."

Aoki Lizi took a long breath, stood where he was, with a full face, "I hope he doesn't know, mom, do you think it's possible?"

Mrs. Aoki spread her hands innocently.
