[Net King] Uncle, you are arrogant!

This afternoon, for the Bingdi school team, the head of the school, who was the backbone, disappeared before everyone's eyes without anyone notifying him. Even Huadi didn't know where he went.

This afternoon, for Qingyang, it completely overturned the image of Mr. Atobe as a capitalist whose life skills are negative.

The personal impression changed too fast, the girl said she couldn't react.Including that Uncle Atobe was able to quickly find the orchard where she was, Qingyang showed her surprise with facial expressions.

In other words, at that time she was standing on the ladder with no image reaching out to pick ripe red cherries...

Although later, because her arms were too short, she handed over the work of picking cherries to Mr. Atobe, who was more than a little better than her in all aspects.

Before handing over the work, we can ignore the embarrassing incident that she was almost scared off the ladder by the sudden sound of the uncle Atobe.

To be honest, Atobe would come to her, which was beyond Qingyang's expectation. She thought she would make him very angry if she didn't answer his call... Maybe she might be banned from entering (Atobe) house.

In fact, Qingyang was right to be worried. Uncle Atobe was very angry, very angry that she did not answer his phone, but when he saw Qingyang's precarious body, which was not standing firmly and was able to hold the ladder to stabilize, all that was left was A cold sweat broke out from shock.

"Come down!" Mr. Atobe, who was standing under the cherry tree, said in a blunt tone, his expression was uglier than his phone being ignored.

At this time, Qingyang had a bad premonition that she was dying and that tragedy was about to happen. She looked at Mr. Atobe standing below with fear, and finally obediently climbed down the ladder slowly.

Standing in front of Atobe, Qingyang, who knew she was wrong, lowered her head and pointed at her fingers: "How did you find me..."

Karuizawa is so big, and there are a lot of farmers' farmland. It is not easy to find someone quickly. Who revealed her whereabouts!

"There are only three orchards in Karuizawa, and this is the closest one. I don't believe that you, who are so lazy, will go to the orchard down the mountain to become a farmer's wife."

...At this time, Qingyang girl deeply felt the strong malice contained in the harsh words of Master Atobe!

She curled her lips unwilling to argue with Atobu, turned her little head away from him, put a small basket containing cherries on her shoulders, held the ladder with one hand, and planned to climb back again.

Atobe twitched the corner of his mouth, unable to support his forehead.What the hell is this guy up to?It's not gorgeous!

"Don't be brave if you can't pick it up, and be careful to fall off it, huh?" Grabbing the collar of a certain one with one hand, Uncle Atobe rubbed his temple with a headache.

"..." Qingyang, who was grabbed by the collar and couldn't break free, silently lowered her head and counted a few cherries in the small basket. She felt from the bottom of her heart that Mr. Atobe saw things too thoroughly!Standing on the ladder, she can only pick the cherry in front of her, if it is higher, she will not be able to reach it.

She tilted her head to the rear, was silent for a while, and said to Mr. Atobe with a very serious look and a flat tone——

"Then help me."

……

This day is a memorable day for Keigo Atobe, because the uncle became a farmer for the first time in his life.

Uncle Atobe, who threw the word "principle" out of the blue for Qingyang, climbed up the ladder in twos and twos, stood on the top and stretched out his hand to Qingyang: "Give me the basket."

Atobe agreed to help her pick cherries without even protesting. Qingyang was very surprised. Seeing Atobe turned her head and reached out to her for a basket, she grinned happily and stopped being polite to him. Pass the basket to him: "So, SAMA Atobe has worked hard~"

"……Humph!"

******

It wasn't until the evening that the two men returned to Atobe House with a full load, and saw two people walking in together, and the people sitting in the living room had different thoughts.

Ren Zuzu glanced at them, and used the movement of pushing his glasses to cover the ambiguous smile on his lips.

Atobe, you will accompany her to pick fruit all afternoon, right?Who used to emphasize that girls who can hold back their feet will never exist?So, sometimes words really can't be too full.

Kneeling on the carpet in the living room, Qingyang and Bingdi's other two foodies planned what to do with the fruits.

After working in the orchard for a day, before leaving, Mr. and Mrs. Yamazaki gave her a lot of fruits, including some strawberries she picked herself and cherries that Mr. Atobe helped to pick.

And she got a small bag of hawthorn fruit by accident, which made her happiest, so Qingyang clapped her hands and announced excitedly, "I'm going to make candied haws!"

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere in the living room froze instantly, the people in the conversation stopped talking, and the smile hanging on the corner of his mouth was a little distorted. Kohijiro, who was about to share food with her again, moved away from her as quickly as possible. around.

... Duanmu!Is the candied haws you want to make the pile of white sugar balls? !

Thinking of the strange food that Atobe brought them last time, which was said to be 'candied haws', the Ice Emperor Zhengxuan couldn't control their faces and twitched.

Predicting that what happened some time ago will happen again today, Mr. Atobe made the most accurate judgment, snatched the small bag from Qingyang's hand and handed it to Huachi...

The teenagers breathed a sigh of relief, Minister, you are too wise and powerful, but you must not let Duanmu break their teeth again.

However, they obviously reassured too early.

After Atobe handed over the necessities for making candied haws to Huadi, he then ordered: "Ask Dr. Yamamoto to prepare more analgesics when he comes over. I will see him within an hour!"

"WUSHI!" Huadi seemed to have thought of the seriousness of the consequences, and answered very seriously and confidently!

……

…………

"Isn't it, Minister!!?" Atobe, are you helping the tyrant to abuse you! ?

******

Qingyang was very unhappy that her ability was being questioned, she was almost desperately stirring the rock sugar in the pot, her whole body was full of grief and indignation.

The kitchen counter in Atobe's kitchen is full of pots and pans, just for the preparation of candied haws, making it feel like a world war.

Mr. Kawashima, who was in charge of the three meals for the young masters of the Ice Emperor, was full of black lines, and tentatively lowered his voice, reminding the guest brought back by his young master: "Hey, Miss Duanmu, please slowly stir the rock sugar clockwise, If you use too much force, the rock sugar will crystallize."

"..."

The kitchen fell into silence for an instant, and the air seemed to have stopped flowing.

After a few seconds of silence...

"Is it like this?" Qingyang obediently obeyed the chef's professional guidance, stirred the rock sugar at a slow speed, and asked without shame.

Unexpectedly, his kind reminder would get a response, but Kawashima was stunned, looked at the girl waiting for his instructions, and subconsciously replied: "Ah, yes, yes."

With a sweet smile, Qingyang vowed to impress those people, so she made up her mind to complete the basic steps step by step.

Her earnest attitude in accepting persuasion made Chuan Dao's affection for this girl a few layers deeper. At first, he thought that this lady surnamed Duanmu was the same kind as the famous daughter he had met before, and they were both capricious and reckless. Headache.

Without the angry surroundings and the smoky kitchen, it is generally harmonious.

"Next, we're going to drizzle caramel over the hawthorn skewers."

"Ah."

******

With the help of Chuan Dao, the strings of candied haws presented the most perfect posture. The red color and the caramel wrapped around made Qingyang swallow her saliva.

Although I tried several times at home, it didn't go well this time.

"Thank you, Uncle Kawashima~" The thought of eating the candied haws that I made immediately gave me a sense of accomplishment.

"Miss Duanmu is polite."

……

Arrange the candied haws neatly on the tray to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the plate, and politely bid farewell to Mr. Kawashima, and she took the big tray and briskly stepped out of the door of the huge kitchen of Atobe's house.

And her cheerful pace lasted less than half a minute before dissipating, because standing guard outside the kitchen door was Risa Kuwashima who had been standing for an unknown amount of time.

Risa Kuwashima is waiting for her...

Qingyang felt this way, Risa Kuwashima must have been standing there for a long time just to wait for her to come out.

"Student Kuwashima?" She didn't know what Risa Kuwashima wanted her for. As mentioned before, their encounters were limited to "chance encounters". If there were more, they were still in the same class. To add to living under one roof.

As the only two girls in the ice emperor tennis club, they are similar in age and in the same class. There should be many topics for girls to talk about, but Qingyang recalled that they never talked more than five sentences , not to mention the wild jokes like friends.

Kuwashima Risa is not Kazawa Liu's self-acquaintance, let alone anyone she knows.In addition to girls who are too self-centered, she seems to be not good at interacting with people like Risa Kuwashima who are temperamental, talented, and even have profound words.

Thinking of the possible reasons why Risa Kuwashima and the tennis club came to sleep together, Qingyang pursed her lips, feeling mixed feelings.The aura between them also seemed to have undergone a subtle change.

Risa Kuwashima casually glanced at the candied haws placed on the tray, and finally her eyes fell on Qingyang's face.

She has never despised this girl, although Duanmu Qingyang is very ordinary in many ways, but she is a person who can make Atobu rest in her heart.With this alone, she is enough to be her own opponent.

Duanmu Qingyang is special. Atobe will cancel volunteers for her, give up important training just to see her, and even increase the number of accommodations that were not in the itinerary for her.

Such special treatment made her very jealous, and she also dreamed that one day she could walk into Atobe's heart and replace Duanmu Qingyang, even if she followed him forever, she would be happy.

Everyone has their own advantages and merits, but Duanmu Qingyang's advantages still need to be observed slowly and deeply understood.As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win the final victory.

Originally, she had a lot of time to integrate into the ice emperor group and let Atobe face her squarely, but her father's phone call disrupted all her arrangements and plans that day.

My father will return to Japan from the United States soon, and she is naturally very clear about the 'news' he wants to hear. If what he gets is not the result he expected, then as a pawn of the Sangshima family, her fate may be worse than her own. The cousin is even more miserable.

That's why she chose to take the initiative today because she had no connection with the word 'passive'. She is not a person who would make small moves in private, otherwise she would look down on herself.

"Duanmu, do you want to deliver it to the living room? Let me do it." Hiding the thoughts in her heart and the darkness in her eyes, Risa Kuwashima was still that gentle girl. She reached out to take the tray in Qingyang's hand and put the item Work as your own task.

She was extremely friendly, but her aura was quite tough, and her eyes were extremely firm.Qingyang, who didn't want to have any grudges and quarrels, couldn't refuse her kindness, so she let her go.

"Then I'll trouble Kuandao-san." This was the first time that Risa Kuwashima took the initiative to talk to her since the flower show, Qingyang thought silently.

The aftertaste of the evening was a bit dim, and the dim light was very easy to create hazy hallucinations. As night fell, it gradually covered the entire mansion.

The girl walking in front paused for a moment. She turned her head and opened her mouth as if to say something. The distance between the two was not very far, but it was difficult for Qingyang to receive the information.

But judging by her mouth shape, that sentence is probably——

"Duanmu, I think we should talk."
