[Hokage] A rose in mourning for the summer moon

beep --

The call is connected.

"Auntie, it's me, Xia Yue. Yes, I'm already here at the apartment... No, my father said that during this time, I will be collecting materials in Europe to prepare for the next art exhibition, and I have no plans to return to China for the time being."

"Yes, the admission time is next April, and the next six months will be spent in the language school... No, there is no need for tutoring, thank you, auntie."

"Yes, sorry to trouble you, okay, I will take care of myself. Goodbye, auntie."

Xia Yue hung up the phone.The newly bought mobile phone is still empty for the time being, and even the screen is full of photos that come with the system.The new SIM card also has only a few contacts, except for relatives and school teachers, the conspicuous words "Itachi Uchiha".

She stared at the name twice, turned off the screen, and went to the kitchen.

The area of ​​the apartment is about 70㎡, and the balcony is 80㎡. The decoration is excellent, and the electrical appliances and furniture are also prepared by my father.Although it can't be said that he has deep feelings, his father has always been generous in material things and will not treat her badly at all.The same goes for my father's family. Although they have the indifference and arrogance of some prominent families, they are fair and kind, and considerate.Xia Yue felt that there was nothing to be picky about.

Of course, being admitted to Dongda University probably made the other party look up to me.

While thinking about these things casually, she picked out some ingredients and planned to make snacks.The refrigerator is full of fruits and vegetables, flour, rice, and various seasonings, everything you need.My aunt's housekeeping is impeccable, and she deserves to be the eldest daughter-in-law.

After the biscuits were hanging around in the oven, she washed her hands again and put away her personal items one by one.I then sent an email to the teacher and made an appointment to meet.

After everything was ready, it was already 04:30 in the afternoon.Xia Yue packed the baked and cooled snacks and carried them to the next door.

jingle--

After the bell rang, the door opened.Appearing in front of me was a slender woman in her early thirties, wearing a dark blue silk shirt and a beige umbrella skirt, her long maroon curly hair was elegantly draped behind her head, her expression was gentle, and her eyebrows gave a sense of deja vu .

"Hello." Xiayue handed over the gift, "I am Xiayue who has just moved to 2302. These are hand-baked cookies. I made vanilla, cheese and chocolate flavors. Please accept them .”

"Oh, you're so polite." The woman laughed, her voice was very gentle, "I'm Uchiha Mikoto. Miss Xia Yue... Are you still studying? Are you a high school student?"

"No, they are international students. I will enter the University of Tokyo next spring, studying in the Faculty of Economics."

"Really? It's amazing." The woman blinked in amazement, a little happy, "To be honest, my eldest son is also a student of Dongda University. He just entered this year and is a student of the Faculty of Law."

"Um... are you talking about Itachi?"

"Ah, you already know each other?" Miqin was even more surprised.She keenly noticed the address used by the other party, but maybe it was because of foreigners?She swallowed the doubt and thoughtfully decided not to correct it.

"Yes, at noon, Itachi helped me bring my luggage up."

"I see. However, Itachi is out now, otherwise you can ask that kid to tell the school girl about the Tokyo University."

Apparently, the name "Dongda" is very useful, at least Miqin felt that the girl in front of her was very kind.

Xia Yue held out a small paper bag, which was made of dark blue washi paper, with a bow tied with a pink ribbon in the upper right corner.She said: "To express my gratitude, I specially took some handmade sweet-scented osmanthus candies. Since Itachi is not here, can I ask Mrs. Mikoto to help deliver it to Itachi?"

"Of course. Miss Xia Yue has taken care of you."

The girl from a foreign country smiled at her, her demeanor was beautiful and moving.Meiqin was a little restless in her heart, and really wanted to know what the other party would look like if she dressed up carefully, it must be very amazing, right?

When the family came back one after another and had dinner together, Meiqin talked about the new neighbors.The youngest son, Sasuke, is only in the sixth grade, and with a lack of interest, he let out an "oh" and concentrated on eating tomato beef brisket.The eldest son still remained calm, even if he was asked if he knew Miss Xia Yue during the day, he would just answer "yes" flatly, without showing any concern.

But her husband, Fu Yue, heard about it and thought about it carefully.He is the president of a medium-sized company, mainly engaged in electronic equipment, and has some cooperation with the government, so he needs to be well-informed.

"2302...I've read the information there. Everyone seems to be Takihira?" Fuyue said.

"Takihira? Ah, that famous painter?" Mikoto remembered, "It's called the pinnacle of Japanese modern art, and it's only in its forties that it has the title of 'National Treasure'?"

"Not only that, the family from which Takihira was born is also very prominent. That family is behind the Yoshinaga Club, and rumors say that the selection of the prime minister is also the result of their manipulation." Fuyue drank a sip of soup, but he couldn't suppress the power in his voice. Kemu, said with emotion, "It is a veritable Chinese today."

That being the case, why is the property related to his family rented out to foreign girls?Meiqin wanted to inquire further, but the eldest son put down the bowl and chopsticks and said flatly, "I'm done eating."

Seeing his brother like this, Sasuke also hurriedly took the last bite of rice, and said in a pretentious manner, "I'm done eating too."

Mikoto's attention immediately focused on the two children.

"Don't add another bowl of rice?" she asked.

"no need."

"I don't need it anymore."

That kid Sasuke likes to learn from his brother.

Meiqin laughed secretly, then remembered something, and said, "By the way, Itachi, when Miss Xia Yue came this afternoon, she also brought a bag of sweet-scented osmanthus candy, saying it was for you. I put it in the fresh-keeping cabinet of the refrigerator .”

The eldest son, who was about to go back to the room, stopped, turned and went to the kitchen.

"I see," he said.

Meiqin just looked at her cold son, holding the small delicate paper bag indifferently, ignoring her younger brother's curious eyes, and walked away.

As a mother, she felt as if she had made some discoveries.

"Itachi." Meiqin called him, "Xiayue must have a lot of troubles in a foreign country alone. Since she is your junior, why don't you ask her if she needs help?"

Sure enough, the eldest son stopped again.

"Okay, mother, I see."

There was nothing unusual about the calm voice and back.But Mikoto held her chin and showed a mysterious smile.

in the room.

"Brother, brother, brother——brother!!"

Itachi came back to his senses.

"What's wrong, Sasuke?"

The younger brother stared at him suspiciously, and turned suspiciously around the blue paper bag on the table. "Brother, why are you so absent-minded, you don't look like a brother at all." He said, "Is it something to do with the new neighbors?"

Itachi's expression moved slightly, and he looked directly at his brother with dark eyes.

"Sasuke, have you finished your math homework?"

"Of course it's finished. Really... Brother doesn't want to answer, and don't change the subject." Sasuke complained, blinking but showing a sly smile, "That's all right, brother, if you promise to help me convince my parents to let them agree If I skip a grade to study, I will keep a secret for you, brother, how about it?"

"I'm not in charge of skipping a grade. Didn't you want to be a classmate with Naruto, so you study honestly?"

"What, what! How can this happen! Brother, don't talk nonsense!"

Sasuke vehemently denied it, but his brother remained calm.Seeing this, Sasuke turned his back on him, quickly snatched the small bag of sweet-scented osmanthus candies, took two steps back, and said, "Since my brother refuses to admit it, then this bag of sweets belongs to me!"

My brother glanced at him, his expression still so calm.Sometimes Sasuke would suspect that his brother was the reincarnation of Wannian Bingshan, so he could be so calm, as if no matter what happened, his composure could not be shaken.It's like knocking hard on an iceberg with a chisel, no matter how hard you try, it's impossible to move the iceberg.

Could it be that he really thought wrong?

My brother's eyes have already fallen on his homework.

"Sasuke, this question is wrong." He said.

"What?" Sasuke was surprised, but he didn't doubt his brother's conclusion at all.His elder brother went to Dongdae University at the age of 15 and is recognized as a genius.Because he chose to go to the law department, the former high school mathematics teacher was still very sad, shouting that the basic subject lost a talent.

Sasuke hurried over.

"What's wrong... Ouch!" He covered his forehead and glared at his brother.The elder brother Shi Shiran withdrew his hand, and put the sweet-scented osmanthus candy that he snatched just now into his arms, as if nothing had happened, as if he was not the one who poked his brother's forehead just for a bag of candy.

"Brother, you are lying!" Sasuke accused.

"It helps to exercise your vigilance." My brother said with a smile.

That must be the devil's smile.Sasuke muttered in his heart.When he was a child, his elder brother would occasionally pick him up from the kindergarten and take him home by the hand; if it rained, his elder brother would hold an umbrella for him.Many of his female classmates asked about his brother, saying that he was so handsome, gentle, and considerate, and that his brother really doted on his younger brother.They didn't know that my brother was just pretending, but in fact he was always playing tricks on him in private, he was rotten!

Moreover, if the brother made up his mind to want something and do something, no one could stop him.For example, if my elder brother wanted to go to university earlier, he would apply for skipping a grade; if he wanted to solve social injustice, he stubbornly chose the law department regardless of everyone's opposition.Of course, the Faculty of Law of Dongda University is very good, but his family is in business, and he would prefer him to study economics or mathematics.

Sasuke looked down.The little paper bag was stuffed into my brother's pocket, revealing a corner tied with a pink bow.I have never seen my brother care so much about anything.

"elder brother."

"what happened?"

"You like that Miss Xia Yue next door, right?"

The brother's movements stopped.After a few seconds, he turned over another page to mark Sasuke's homework for the next day.

He didn't speak, and Sasuke was not in a hurry, he folded his arms and looked at him with triumphant eyes.This is an era when they started dating in kindergarten. My brother is already 15, and he is so obvious, do you think others can't see it?

"Otherwise, shall I help my brother write a love letter?" Sasuke happily came up with an idea.

The brother glanced at him.

"Can you write love letters?"

"Don't underestimate me. I have been receiving love letters since elementary school, and I can write one even if I piece it together!" Sasuke said unconvinced.

"Really." My brother turned another page, "It's made up together, I dare not use it."

"Tch, what, it sounds like my brother understands it well... Wait? Brother? Brother, you didn't deny it just now, did you?"

Sasuke jumped up excitedly, pointed at his brother with wide eyes.Although he is determined in his heart, he still jokes more; it is too difficult to believe that my brother, an iceberg that has not moved for thousands of years, will like someone.

My brother capped the pen.The fountain pen is PILOT's long knife research, and the round and smooth body of the pen exudes an elegant light under the light.

"Sasuke, double the math homework tomorrow." The older brother smiled, and Shi Shiran stood up, "Since you have extra energy, let's study hard."

"...Brother, are you a devil?"

Itachi walked out of the room, keeping his younger brother's grievances behind the door.

The phone vibrated, and he glanced at the screen. Line's friend verification passed.

He immediately sent a message.

[Itachi: Osmanthus candy is delicious, thank you. 】

[Pikachu Adventure: Right?Oh, I'm good at this.If Itachi likes it, you can help me a little more in the future, so that I can give you more delicious snacks. 】

Livelier than first impression.And this nickname... too cute.

A smile played on Itachi's lips.

She likes Pikachu?

He opened LAMY's official website, found the Pikachu cooperation model, and placed an order.

[Itachi: It turns out that Xia Yue is a freshman at the University of Tokyo.Coincidentally, I also studied at Dongda University, in the Faculty of Law. 】

[Pikachu Adventure: Hello senior, I am a new student in the Department of Economics next year, please take me to fly [beautiful.jpg]]

Not only lively, but also like a child when mischievous.

[Itachi: Both the Department of Economics and the Department of Law are located at the main campus of Tokyo University, not far from here.Want to go to school? 】

【Pikachu Adventure: My teacher and I made an appointment to meet the day after tomorrow.Is Itachi free the day after tomorrow? 】

[Itachi: Of course.Then let's go to school together the day after tomorrow. 】

She sent a nodding expression again and again.very cute.

Itachi clicked another message box.

【Itachi: Brother Shisui, the day after tomorrow tennis club, can I take a leave of absence? 】

[Zhi Shui: Yes.What's the matter, Itachi, did something happen to you? 】

[Itachi: It's a little personal, please don't worry. 】

New news from "Pikachu's Adventure" flashes up.

[Pikachu Adventure: Itachi, I plan to go for a morning run tomorrow morning, do you have a recommended route? 】

Boom-!

Itachi put down his phone and rubbed his shoulder.He accidentally bumped into the door frame.

The younger brother passed by nibbling on an apple, staring at him dumbfounded, the apple in his mouth almost fell.

Itachi turned his head calmly and continued sending messages.

[Itachi: I also have the habit of jogging in the morning.I will accompany you tomorrow morning. 】

[Pikachu's Great Adventure: Then I have another chance to offer sweet-scented osmanthus candy to express my gratitude. 】

[Pikachu Adventure: 6:30? 】

[Itachi: Good. 】

He clicked on the business card and changed the other party's note to "Xia Yue".

Sasuke swallowed the apple and said slowly, "Brother, have you heard of the cherry blossoms that bloom in summer?"

"No." Itachi glanced at his younger brother.

"Oh, I think we can see the cherry blossoms blooming in front of our house tomorrow." Sasuke shrugged, "My brother must have laughed at that."

"..."

Uchiha Itachi, 15 years old, a first-year student in the Faculty of Law of Dongda University known as a "genius", was choked by his younger brother for the first time since he was born 15 years ago.

The author has something to say: LAMY has produced a lot of special models in recent years, such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Pikachu, and the previous macaron custom colors. Anyway, the nib is still an ordinary nib, and the water is still German. But it's just... tempting!

PILOT long knife research is too tempting, wait for me to save enough money to buy orz

By the way, I forgot to explain in the last chapter: the house number is fictitious, don't take it seriously!And I haven't visited Dongda University, so I write nonsense.
