[Hokage] A rose in mourning for the summer moon

Xia Yue put on a breathable and quick-drying T-shirt and leggings, pinned the water cup on the waist bag, inserted the mobile phone into the arm bag, tied a high ponytail at the end, and put on a black sweatband.The sweatband is produced by Konoha Group, with a swirl pattern with two pointed ends embroidered with white thread in the middle.

6: 20.

Itachi was already waiting at the door.

When they met, both of them were taken aback.They all wore sweatbands, Xiayue's was white, Itachi's was black, and the Konoha logo was embroidered in the center.

What, isn't this like a couple outfit?The thought flashed by.Xia Yue blinked, said "good morning" as if nothing had happened, raised her hand and pressed the elevator button.

"I quite like Konoha's sports equipment," she said.

"Yes, their equipment is very professional." Itachi was also very calm.

The elevator descends from floor to floor.Another lady who is on duty at the front desk today is "Ryoko Kawakami" written on the name tag.She has soft waist-length hair and a sweet smile like a doll. She said good morning to them and said that Mr. Yakumo had left a message to thank Miss Xia Yue for saving the cat.

She looked at her and Itachi with a smile, and she couldn't tell if it was a joking look.

The morning air, fresh from the darkness, was refreshing with a refreshing coolness.Xia Yue stretched and noticed that Itachi's movements were professional.He was wearing short-sleeved shorts, his limbs were covered with slender but beautiful muscles, and the side face was plated with a layer of gold by the rising sun.

In the morning light, he met her gaze and looked over.

"Xia Yue?"

She said: "Itachi is very beautiful."

He was startled, as if he didn't know what to say.Xia Yue smiled at him and continued to do her own stretching.

The boy stood there, silently counting his heartbeats, until the speed of the blood rushing stabilized, he let out a breath, and frowned angrily.

The sun is already clear, shining like light and shadow.The modern city embodies the beauty of order everywhere, with horizontal and vertical streets intertwined, and the greenery leaking from the residential areas is particularly precious.

Itachi's route avoids busy streets, so there are bright green leaves swaying along the way.Xia Yue's earphones were put in her pocket, but she never took them out.

They chatted one after another.

"Does Itachi participate in any sports club?"

"Well, I joined the tennis club at school." He paused, his eyes resting on her face, "Does Xia Yue want to come? The tennis club doesn't have much work, and the amount of exercise is also very appropriate."

"Tennis club... I thought the sports clubs here would differentiate between men and women."

"There is indeed a distinction between the men's team and the women's team in the club. The training grounds on both sides are not far away, so they can practice together."

Xia Yue suddenly laughed and didn't speak, like a flower blooming silently.Itachi felt a little uncomfortable when she laughed, so he could only look away for a while, thinking about what funny things he said.After thinking for a while, he didn't come up with a result. He was a little depressed, and felt that he was extremely slow in reacting in front of Xia Yue.

The morning jog took about an hour back and forth.Itachi deliberately took her around in a circle, so that what he enjoyed back and forth was different scenery.Passing by a coffee shop on the way back, Xia Yue took a few more glances, and Itachi remembered that it seemed to be an online celebrity shop, and many of his classmates had mentioned it.He told Xia Yue that he could come here for coffee next time, but she laughed again when she heard that.

What are you laughing at?Itachi was a little dazed, but covered up his daze with his strong self-control.

It doesn't matter, he will figure it out slowly.

"Itachi, do you run every morning?"

"As long as there is no class before 10 o'clock in the morning, I will go out for a run." Sometimes I also go to school and do morning exercises on campus with my classmates from the tennis department.Itachi didn't say anything about it.

He is right.Because Xia Yue said next, if you are free in the future, let's make an appointment for a morning run together.

"Okay, it's settled." Itachi agreed.

He drank a sip of water and saw the sun shining on the outer wall of the apartment, and the bright light looked particularly cheerful.

The next day was when Xia Yue made an appointment to meet the teacher.That is the teacher of the International Student Office, responsible for handling international student affairs.They made an appointment at 9:[-] a.m., and Itachi also had classes, so they made an appointment to have lunch together, and then go shopping around the school in the afternoon.

The teacher in charge is Shizune Kato, a handsome woman with short hair and a round face, who speaks softly and patiently. She also specifically asked Xia Yue if she has arranged her life properly, and gave her the recommended books from the Department of Economics, saying that she can read it first. Preview.This is probably because the father's family took special care of him.

Jing Yin flipped through Xia Yue's personal information and sighed: "Xia Yue is only 15 years old. It is admirable to be able to come to Dongda at this age. Speaking of which, there is also a child who is enrolled this year in the Faculty of Law and has just turned 15." [-] years old. Kids these days are amazing."

"Faculty of Law?" Xia Yue pricked up her ears, "Is it Itachi Uchiha?"

"Have you heard about Xia Yue? That child is very famous in school." Jing Yin didn't think too much about it, but wentssiping with her enthusiastically, "The test score is No.1, and it's close to full marks. The teacher who asked the question was taken aback. The science department was looking forward to the admission of Uchiha, but the child firmly chose the law department. Although it will not be officially transferred there until the third grade, the teachers have already booked Uchiha Yes. In the future, there must be another great advocate or politician in society, right?"

"Oh, that's amazing." Xia Yue applauded in admiration.

"And...Xia Yue will be a student of the Department of Economics next year, right? I heard that Uchiha-san also took courses in the Department of Economics, and said something like 'how can a person who doesn't understand people's livelihood talk about politics'. All in all, It's amazing."

"Yeah, yum." Xia Yue nodded again and again, her eyes curled up with a smile, "It seems that I have to follow that classmate as an example and study hard."

"Come on, student Xia Yue."

It was less than 11 o'clock when I came out of the international office.Xia Yue recalled the name of the course Itachi said this morning, inquired with the students on campus, and then strolled to the target classroom.

This morning course is offered by the Department of Political Science.Tokyo University requires law students to also take courses related to political science. This combination of law and politics is also a major feature of the country.Xia Yue stood at the door and listened for a while, and found that today's course was about the efficiency of different institutional structures, and an economic model was also introduced for analysis.She tiptoed to look inside, and found Itachi was sitting in the front row, listening very carefully, the smooth ponytail behind her head was motionless, very cute.

After standing for a while, she felt a little thirsty, so she took a few more steps to buy a drink from the vending machine in the corridor.She is used to drinking hot water, even in midsummer, but there are only vending machines that offer cold drinks, so she hesitated and bought a bottle of white peach water.

While twisting the bottle cap, get out of class is over.She turned her head and saw people pouring out of the classroom over there, but itachi didn't come out.In the end, the teacher also left, but still did not see that person.

Xia Yue walked back to the classroom and looked around.Among the neatly arranged seats, there were only two people.One is Itachi, and the other is a pretty girl.She wears a cute dress, has delicate makeup and hair, and looks very sweet.At this moment, she was looking at Itachi shyly, her eyes sparkling.

"Itachi-kun, do you have a girlfriend?"

With a bag on his back, the young man calmly said, "No. What's the matter, student Xinxiang?"

Xia Yue almost laughed out loud.Girls ask you shyly if you have a girlfriend, and you ask what's the matter?This is either too incomprehensible, or a polite refusal.But judging by his unwavering appearance in the ancient well, it's probably the former, right?

Obviously, Xinxiang thought so too.I saw her holding her cheeks, smiling even sweeter, and said: "Then, can I invite Mr. Weasel to date me?"

"Sorry, no."

This is also rejected too quickly!Almost as soon as the other girl finished speaking, this side refused without hesitation.How much to save some face for others?

Xia Yue's internal complaints could not be transmitted to reality.However, perhaps Xinxiang's stiff expression aroused sympathy from the confession target, and he added: "I'm not interested in love at the moment, sorry."

That cold and distant demeanor and tone are indeed quite convincing.Indifference can hurt people the most, but it is also this unapproachable coldness and solemnity that makes his still immature face look awe-inspiring, making him even more attractive.

Xinxiang bit her lip and said reluctantly, "Itachi-kun..."

"If there is nothing else, I will go first."

The boy finally nodded to her, turned and left the classroom without any hesitation.As early as when he was speaking, Xia Yue shrank her head and deliberately walked a few steps away to avoid being caught by him eavesdropping.

When Itachi walked out of the classroom, Xia Yue smiled.Before she opened her mouth, she saw Xinxiang chasing her out, shouting, "Wait a minute, Itachi-kun! As long as Youyou-kun doesn't have a girlfriend, I won't give up...!"

Xia Yue was waving her hand, but the movement stopped in mid-air.She was still holding white peach water in her hand, and looked at the two of them, feeling a little embarrassed for no reason.

"Well... I'm here to visit the school." She took a step back calmly, "I don't know anything, I haven't heard anything. Excuse me, I'll take my leave first."

After all, she wanted to slip away.

"Xia Yue."

The quiet and distant sound like the bells in the deep mountains can also evoke a sense of coolness in the shady Western-style teaching building.Every time Xia Yue heard his voice, she would think, how could this person's voice be so nice?It was too foul.In this way, as long as he speaks, she can't ignore it.

Also now.She turned around, but still couldn't help but look back.

Itachi walked up to her, took the paper bag containing the information from her hand, looked at the white peach water in her hand, frowned and took it, and said with some reproach: "Xia Yue, I remember you said that drinking cold drinks will make your stomach hurt. .I brought a thermos, if you want to drink water, just take it from me."

Although it was reproachful, the voice was gentle and gentle, and it fell lightly, like spring rain sprinkled on the surface of a pond, causing ripples and ripples.

Xia Yue looked at him, and then at Xinxiang's staring eyes.

"Oh...oh, okay, I see." She nodded solemnly, "Then let's go have dinner together."

She naturally took Itachi's hand.His palms were warm and calloused, but they didn't feel uncomfortable when they scraped on the skin; the slender fingers seemed to be stiff for a few seconds before gently gripping back.With such strength, it seems a little cautious.

They held hands and left slowly.

Xia Yue didn't look back until she was outside the sunny teaching building.

"Xiayue?" Itachi didn't know why, and his expression didn't change, only the eyes staring at her were brighter than usual.

"Okay, out of sight."

Xia Yue withdrew her hand, smiled, and patted him on the shoulder lightly.Itachi felt that his hands were empty, and he didn't come back to his senses at all. He just saw her blinking and smiling at him with an "I understand" expression.

"How, am I good at acting?" Xia Yue asked.

"...acting skills?"

"Yeah, I figured it out right away, Itachi, you want me to help you act as a couple, so that Xinxiang will give up, right?" Xia Yue triumphantly claimed the credit, "Since verbal refusal is useless , you can only rely on practical actions. In this way, Itachi, you can concentrate on your studies and not have to be distracted by love affairs."

Itachi stayed there for a long time before waking up like a dream. Without even thinking about it, he immediately explained: "No, I'm not distracted because I'm worried about love, it's just..."

"It's just not interested, I understand, I understand. Many academic masters feel that love is boring, and the truth is the eternal pursuit." Xia Yue patted him on the shoulder again, encouraging her, "Itachi will definitely have great achievements in the future! "

Looking at her determined eyes and her smiling face, Itachi understood for the first time in her life what it means to be tongue-tied.He wanted to say something, but he was speechless.

What should I say?What Xia Yue said was originally his previous thoughts.But, that's just "before".

He squeezed the cold plastic bottle tightly in his hand, turned his eyes away, said with a sullen face, "Thank you Xia Yue for trusting me. But, that's not the case."

"No?" she repeated inexplicably.

"The cafeteria is here." Itachi carried his backpack, Xia Yue's paper bag in one hand, and her white peach water in the other, and walked towards the shade of a tree on one side.

It was almost time for lunch, and the teachers and students around were all heading in the same direction one after another.There are also many people who are probably tourists and take pictures around with great interest.People they meet on the road will always look at these two young girls more, and some young girls will even make a low "wow".

What a beautiful person...

Both of them are so beautiful.

Is it a couple?

What a match.

Xia Yue only heard the key word "beautiful", and took it for granted that she was talking about herself, so she was a little relieved that the makeup she put on to meet the teacher today was not in vain.

"Xia Yue."

"Ok?"

Itachi tightened his schoolbag belt, and said in a flat tone: "I'm not really interested in love. But if I meet someone I like, I'll also want to be with that person."

He looked straight ahead, only looking at her out of the corner of his eye.But she raised her hand to brush away her forehead hair blown by the wind, and there seemed to be a smile on her lips, but she couldn't see it clearly.

"Oh, yes," she said.

Itachi pursed his lips, unexpectedly a little childishly annoyed, and stopped talking in anger.He is calm and precocious, and he knows how to deal with people and things, but during the short journey just now, his mood went up and down like a roller coaster.

"Itachi, what food do you recommend in the cafeteria?"

The boy who made up his mind not to talk, immediately said seriously: "The most famous one is Akamon ramen, but I personally prefer beef rice bowl with brown rice tea."

"Then try Itachi's favorite set meal."

Because of her simple sentence, his mood brightened, and Itachi didn't want to admit it at all.

Unfortunately, I met Zhishui in the cafeteria at noon.Seeing the surprised expression of the other party, and remembering that he had shunned today's tennis club, Itachi could only say hello calmly, trying to bring the matter over.Senior Shishui held the dinner plate, stared at him for two seconds, and then showed a knowing smile.

【Zhishui: Itachi, is that your girlfriend?Is it a girlfriend?Did you ask for leave to be with your girlfriend? 】

【Zhi Shui: Don't try to pretend you didn't see it, just get it right. 】

[Zhishui: Itachi, have you read the forum?Just had a new post. 】

【Stop water: (link)】

[Zhishui: Haha, it's a discussion about "Has the genius boy from the Faculty of Law got a girlfriend?"! 】

[Itachi: Brother Shishui, Xia Yue is my friend. 】

[Zhi Shui: It's called Xia Yue.Not a girlfriend? 】

[Itachi: No. 】

[Zhi Shui: Is it 'impossible', or 'not yet'? 】

【Itachi: ...】

[Zhi Shui: It seems to be the latter.Come on, Itachi! 】

[Itachi: ... I will work hard.Thank you Brother Zhishui for your encouragement. 】

Itachi locked the screen.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong?" Xia Yue asked considerately, "If there is something urgent, itachi can deal with it, and I can just go around by myself."

"No, it's just a daily greeting." Itachi put away his phone, "Xiayue, do you want to go to 'Sanshiro Pond' to see fish?"
