[Black Basket] Star Trail

Late autumn in England is cool and bleak.

Kanzawa Norie looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the classroom, the sunlight was so thin that it was almost imperceptible, pouring down, casting faint tree shadows on the ground.If it were in Japan, it would not be a sunny day, but it is a rare good weather in the UK.The brown-haired girl withdrew her gaze, and there was impatience in the movement of turning the pen that no one could see.

From the corner of my eye, I can see that the small light indicating that the get out of class is over has been turned on.

"Then after you decide on the topic, give me the draft of the plan." The instructor said.The girl secretly calculated the deadline──it was a bit urgent.The three people in the group haven't reached a consensus yet, but the students for the next class are already waiting outside the classroom, and they can't use other people's classrooms to discuss topics, so the blond boy sitting next to her suggested going to the coffee shop to continue the discussion, by the way eat something.

"I'm sorry, I still have classes later. Tell me what to do after you divide the work." Another team member hurriedly left the classroom and walked to another direction of the campus after saying this.Kanzawa Jihui was free, so she raised her eyes to look at the other party, "Then shall we talk first?"

The other party smiled at her, "Yeah."

There is a distance between the classroom and the cafe.Kanzawa Norie is not very familiar with the other party, if not because they are in a group, they would not know each other at all.Under such circumstances, it is not easy to find a topic that is not boring. Instead of trying to get close, it is better to clarify your attitude from the beginning──Just thinking about it, the phone in the trouser pocket vibrated.The brown-haired girl took it out to have a look, and unlocked the screen neatly.

...Ah, sure enough.

Ever since she came to the UK, she has received mails from Akashi in the early morning from time to time. The time difference between the two places is nine hours. Either he goes to bed late or she wakes up early. Under normal circumstances, it is evenly divided. , but during the positive period, the probability of the former is much higher than that of the latter.

Kanzawa Norie also persuaded her several times, and she used all possible methods, but it was a pity that Akashi Seijuro just said that he was too busy and didn't listen to her words at all.The girl had no choice but to persuade her repeatedly, using patience to wear down the other party's stubbornness.Perhaps this is the shortcoming of being in a different place. Akashi has no way to make the girl not picky eaters, and she is helpless about Akashi's work and rest.

Feeling the man beside him stop, Kanzawa Norie took the time to look up from the screen and saw that he was walking to the door.The other party opened the door for her and motioned for her to go first.The girl squeezed out a smile, "Thank you."

Recently, emails have been exchanged too frequently, and Norie Kanzawa has practiced her typing speed with one hand—only a little slower than her speaking speed. "If there is no miscalculation, it is two o'clock in the morning in Japan right now? Don't you go to bed? Or do you mean there is no class tomorrow?"

Probably her thanks gave him a feeling of breaking the ice. The other party said his name and department, and then looked at her, obviously waiting.Kanzawa Jihui had no choice but to put down the phone in his hand and concentrate on talking to him.

"Just came here?"

"Yes," Kanazawa Norie said, "I still get lost occasionally in school. It's too big here."

The other party also raised the corners of his lips, and when he smiled, his outline looked a bit like Akashi, "That's right, I often went the wrong way when I first came here. Where are you from?"

"Japan." Seeing that he had reached the door of the coffee shop again, the other party deliberately walked a few steps faster than Kanazawa Norie, and opened the door for her again.No matter how dull people are, they will feel that something is wrong now, but Kanzawa Norie's face has not changed, he just thanked again and walked inside.

The real fun happens after the coffee is bought.

Kanzawa Norie took the paper cup in the opponent's hand, and added a sleeve so that the temperature was just right, holding it warmly in the palm of his hand as if holding a small flame.The other party was seated opposite her, and if you look carefully, he is somewhat similar to Akashi even in his attire, except for the color of his hair and eyes, the only difference is his height.

"Are you still used to living in England?"

"That's right. I really like England." Kanzawa Norie replied lightly, then took a sip of coffee and waited for the other party's next words.Before the other party has clarified their wishes, she can't act rashly to embarrass both parties.

Fortunately, the other party was much more straightforward than she imagined. "Boyfriend won't worry?"

"Probably a little." Kanzawa Norie touched his nose with his left hand as he said, and showed him his ring finger intentionally or unintentionally, "But everything is fine. I will go back to China during the holidays, so there is no problem."

After all, her actions were a bit deliberate, and the blond youth was not so ignorant that he couldn't see her hint clearly, but whether he knew it or not and whether he was surprised or not were two different things. Kanzawa Norie saw his gaze lingering on her hand twice, It seems to be to determine which finger the ring is on. "……Yeah……"

Kanzawa Norie is not a person who often wears accessories, even metal studs are used for ear piercings. Generally speaking, such a person is unlikely to wear a decorative ring on the ring finger, but with her In terms of age, it is far too young to marry.It is rare for college students to even be engaged, let alone married.

She didn't tell people about her relationship status everywhere, but on this occasion, she couldn't help but not.The blond-haired young man was obviously taken aback by her hint, but he couldn't get the words out of his mouth. After several deliberations, he finally asked, "Are you... already married?"

"The wedding will be next year's summer vacation." Kanzawa Norie informed readily, "We are currently engaged."

The young man carefully chose his words, "Really... What kind of person is the fiancé?"

"A very, very good person, and he treats me very well." Kanazawa Jihui subconsciously rubbed the side of the ring. She has had this little habit since she put it on. Then she smiled and planned to liven up the atmosphere, "Yes Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed so quickly."

"Did you know each other early?"

"Yes, we have known each other since junior high school." She replied, "We have experienced a lot of things... Our characters are more or less influenced by each other. If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't be Let's look like this now."

These words never had the opportunity to say to others.

She and Akashi had been together too early, and most of the people around them knew both of them, and it was rare that they didn't know one of them.The only people who will ask are probably each other's college classmates.She is okay, because she has already put on the ring, so she can tell what it is at a glance. Akashi is still playing basketball in college, and sometimes it is inconvenient to wear it, so she wears it with a rope.Kanzawa Norie has heard some rumors from Ji Zheng, but since she chose to go abroad, she has great confidence in Akashi.

Kanzawa Norie couldn't see her own expression, but others could.To settle down at this age, either you have to, or you love each other too much.If they have children, how could they be willing to leave their children and husband in their hometown at such a young age, and go out to study alone—it can be seen that it is the latter.

Speaking of this, even if they didn't tell the whole story, both sides were somewhat embarrassed.The blond young man reluctantly stayed until he finished drinking his coffee, and then left after finding an excuse. Kanzawa Norie didn't care too much, and watched Akashi leave while chatting with Akashi by email.

A whole continent apart, Akashi Seijuro could still pinpoint Kanzawa Norie's emotions from his tone.

"what happened?"

Kanzawa Norie looked at the screen with his chin in his hand, and smiled unknowingly.

She could even imagine Akashi Seijuro's indifferent tone when he asked this question.

"It's nothing. I just finished drinking coffee with someone and chatted about Ah Zheng for a while."

"?"

"I don't think the other party will talk to me again unless it's necessary." Kanzawa Jihui added without waiting for his reply, "I completely understand why Ah Zheng bought the ring so quickly-it's really useful something."

The author has something to say: 123 Romance has not been smoked since nine o'clock, sorry.Next weekend.

This is just a foreshadowing, and the extra episodes are also related to each other.

Having tied up the girl so early, Akashi-kun is worthy of being a winner in life.
