Hearing what Nakano Aoi said, An Zeliang smiled and glanced at another cloth bag in the girl's hand. There was a cute print of cats clustered together on the surface. Usually, Nakano Aoi used this bag to carry all kinds of delicious food when she visited.
"Um... isn't that inconvenient?"
At this time, Nakano Aoi seemed to realize something, a trace of loss flashed across her clear eyes, and her little head lowered slightly.
"Actually, I just had this idea today... Anze-kun might not be ready yet."
"If you think it's okay, I can come back tomorrow and it will be the same."
When she looked up again, Nakano Aoi was smiling again, her ponytail swaying gently in the wind, scattered messily on her neck and chin.
However, Nakano Aoi did not reach out to tidy it up. She just nodded, took a few steps and was about to leave, without any intention of making things difficult for Anze Liang.
"Nakano-chan, I'm fine."
As An Zeliang's voice sounded, Nakano Aoi tilted her head and looked over in confusion.
"I was just wondering if there were any ingredients left at home. After all, I've just been eating casually in the mornings these past few days and I'm not at home the rest of the time, so I forgot what's left in the refrigerator." An Zeliang explained.
"It's okay. I brought the food." Nakano Aoi shook the printed bag in her hand. "I was in the hospital taking care of my sister-in-law for too long, so the food at home is not fresh anymore. I just bought a lot last night, and I can't finish it all by myself."
"I'll ask Anze-kun to help me solve this problem."
As he was talking, An Zeliang also invited Nakano Aoi into the house.
It wasn't the first time that Nakano Aoi came. She tapped her little leather shoes lightly, and her feet in black stockings stepped on the floor. She walked to the kitchen with a clattering sound, put on kitchen slippers, tied on an apron, and started to work in the kitchen skillfully.
Soon, fried mackerel, tofu and pork miso soup, egg fried rice... one breakfast after another was served on the table. It was delicious and a very classic Japanese breakfast combination.
After eating, when she looked at the time again, Nakano Aoi was stunned and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Anze-kun, it looks like we'll be late if we keep cleaning the kitchen. Let's go to school first."
"That's fine." An Zeliang said casually. He should have a practice match today, and it would not be good to be late.
"By the way, Anze-kun." Nakano Aoi seemed to remember something, "You still have to go to the company to work after school, right?"
Seeing An Zeliang nodded, Nakano Aoi pursed her lips and asked hesitantly.
"I don't have anything to do tonight. If An Ze-jun doesn't mind, you can give me the key to your house. I'll come back in the afternoon to clean up the pots and pans used for breakfast."
"That's not a good idea. Nakano-chan has already cooked, so just leave the cleanup to me." An Zeliang said politely.
"It's okay. It's not a big deal." Nakano Aoi shook her head, looking very determined. "Besides, Anze-kun has to go to school, take care of the company and his life, so he's already very tired."
"We are neighbors and good friends, so it is normal for us to help each other."
"Let me help share this little thing."
Nakano Aoi's smile was gentle and bright, and her eyes were full as she looked at An Zeliang.
Seeing this, An Zeliang couldn't refuse, so he unlocked the key and handed it over: "I lost the spare key at home, this is the only one."
In fact, the spare key was given to Teacher Hayano. She would come over from time to time to play games or stay overnight. When Anze Ryoichi was not around, she would stand at the door waiting stupidly. Sometimes she even fell asleep sitting at the door and didn't leave. She looked pitiful, like a homeless puppy.
An Zeliang simply gave her the spare key.
But it was not nice to tell this to Nakano Aoi, so I just made up a lie and threw it away.
Also strange.
Normally, Nakano Aoi would ask out of concern where the spare key was lost, and then think that this is very dangerous and suggest that Anze Liang change the lock or something.
But this time, Nakano Aoi was just slightly startled, then she put the key into her schoolbag with a smile on her face.
"It's okay, I'll get a spare one after school."
"... "
After simply tidying up their clothes, the two went out, chatting as they walked quickly towards the school.
After morning reading and another class, An Zeliang was called out of the classroom by the head teacher and taken to two classrooms specially set aside for practice competitions. In addition to him, Hei Xintian, who had participated in the math competition with him before, was also here.
"Student Anze, the students from Dongying Girls' High School will be here soon. How are you? Do you feel nervous?"
Hayano Hoshiko hurried over with the lesson plan.
"It's okay." An Zeliang smiled, "Finish it early and eat the lunch box early, Nakano-chan is still waiting for me."
"...Really." Hayano Hoshiko pouted slightly, "Fuyuying Girls' High School is one of the most prestigious schools in Tokyo. The contestants here are all very good. Anze-san should be more serious."
She was dressed very formally today. Her pearly white long-sleeved silk shirt was tucked into a wide belt. Her slightly slit fishtail skirt outlined her undulating curves. She looked elegant, dignified, and graceful, yet also had a hint of maturity that only belongs to an older sister.
Under the skirt, a pair of plump and slender thighs were wrapped in extremely thin black stockings, slightly revealing the fair skin underneath, and the feet were wearing a pair of low heels.
This outfit, coupled with Hayano Hoshiko's outstanding looks and temperament, allowed her to attract the attention of everyone around her simply by walking in front of An Zeliang and saying a few words.
However, they only took a quick glance and then looked away, trying to cover up without looking any further.
Now everyone knows that An Zeliang's willingness to participate in practice matches is the result of Mr. Hayano's efforts. If we want An Zeliang to continue to participate in mathematics competitions and win glory for the school in the future, Mr. Hayano will be indispensable.
So no one wanted to be rude to Hayano-sensei.
Among them, Hoshimiya Rin's homeroom teacher, Mr. Yamada, looked at Hayano Hoshiko with complicated eyes, as if he had thought of something.
However, Hayano Hoshiko did not notice this and continued to whisper something to Anze Liang.
pat, pat.
A few minutes later, a figure walked in with a calm expression and nodded slightly to everyone. It was naturally Xingmiya Rin.
"Teacher Hayano, classmate Anze." Hoshimiya Rin greeted them and stood quietly beside them.
She just replied to An Zeliang with a goodnight message last night, and today she took the initiative to say hello again... It seems that the arrogant little rich woman is no longer angry.
An Zeliang was about to pull her into the chat, but Teacher Yamada came over.
"Xinggong-san, there is something I want to confirm with you. Please come over here."
"Ah."
Hoshimiya Rin nodded slightly, and for some reason, she suddenly glanced at Hayano Hoshiko. Seeing that she was chatting happily with Anze Liang and almost called him Xiaoliang as an intimate name in school, she quietly withdrew her gaze and walked to the corner with Teacher Yamada to chat.
Soon, people from Dongying Girls' High School also arrived.
Although it is just a small practice match, before the match, the players from both sides will meet formally, shake hands with each other and so on... giving it a sufficient sense of ceremony.
"An Ze, nice to see you again."
The girl, with her chin slightly raised, extended her hand without letting anyone refuse. Her high ponytail was neatly tied, but two buttons of her school uniform were unbuttoned, revealing a white shirt with a bow tie underneath.
The whole person looks heroic, with a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows.
"Tsukishima-san."
An Zeliang looked at Tsukishima Saori, and for some reason, he didn't feel surprised at all. Tsukishima Saori had always admired the strong and was very proud of herself. Last time, he had tied with the opponent at the shooting range. According to Tsukishima Saori's personality, she would definitely win back.
Mathematical competition practice matches are a great way to do this.
The two men held hands for a moment and were about to separate, but Anze Liang was slightly stunned and found that Tsukishima Saori used a little force to hold his hand tightly, looking at him with bright eyes, as if she was not satisfied with him just saying hello.
This little girl-like behavior made An Zeliang look at Tsukishima Saori with a smile. He gently moved his fingers and rubbed Tsukishima Saori's palm.
There are some calluses, but the feel is pretty good, not too hard.
"!"
Tsukishima Saori was stunned and subconsciously let go of Anze Liang's hand. Her eyebrows raised and she was about to show an angry expression of being offended, but she saw Anze Liang smiling and taking his hand back, as if he did it on purpose.
Tsukishima Saori's anger gradually subsided and she just frowned.
"Student An Ze, I competed with you again at the practice field last time. That was our second competition, and I still lost to you."
"This time, it's the third time. Please give me your guidance."
"There's nothing much to teach you." An Zeliang replied with a smile.
"You're welcome. The fundamental reason why Dongying Girls' High School will have a practice match with Qingshan High School this time is that I just want to compete with you again." Tsukishima Saori responded in a crisp voice, "Anze-san, I hope you will do your best."
"... "
Two and a half hours later.
Tsukishima Saori held two test papers with full marks in her hands, looking at An Ze Liang who was sitting in the classroom, eating his lunch box and chatting with Nakano Aoi. Her eyes were a little dim, but that hint of arrogance was still barely visible between her brows.
"Tsukishima, the practice match is over and we should go back to school." At this time, Dongying's team leader teacher reminded.
"Teacher, how long did it take Anze to finish the test?" Tsukishima Saori asked calmly.
"...each test paper takes half an hour, so the total time is only one hour."
Hearing the result, Tsukishima Saori calmly folded the paper in her hand and asked again.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm also surprised by this result." The leading teacher looked helpless, "But we checked the surveillance and asked the invigilator... In fact, there were only three people taking the exam in the whole classroom, and An Ze was the first to hand in his paper and leave. There was no possibility of cheating at all."
"He didn't have to cheat."
Tsukishima Saori explained lightly, casually put away the test paper with full marks in her hand, stuffed it into her schoolbag without even looking at it, and turned and left.
"Tsukishima-san... aren't you going to ask about his grade?" the teacher in charge said.
"Since he handed it in, he got full marks. There's nothing to ask." Tsukishima Saori walked very fast without even turning her head, her student leather shoes clacking on the ground.
The teacher in charge did not notice that Saori Tsukishima's brows were furrowed, and that trace of arrogance faded away at some point and turned into persistence.
She lost again.
Two test papers, two exams. She spent two and a half hours thinking carefully about each question, while An Zeliang only took one hour to finish all the papers and handed them in. He even went back to the classroom to eat his lunch and chat with his female classmates.
Is the gap between the two really that big?
So big that she couldn't overcome it no matter how hard she tried?
Tsukishima Saori didn't believe it.
A few seconds later, she suddenly took out her cell phone and called the teacher in charge. As soon as the call was connected, she immediately asked.
"Teacher, please ask for me what other competitions Qingshan High School plans to sign up for."
"Well... as long as An Zeliang will participate, I will also participate."
"... "
"Ah!"
In the classroom, An Zeliang sneezed and rubbed his nose.
"Are you catching a cold?" Nakano Aoi handed over a tissue, looking a little worried.
"It shouldn't be. My ears feel a little hot. Maybe someone is scolding me." An Zeliang wiped his nose and spoke in a muffled voice.
In fact, he really didn't want to attack Saori Tsukishima.
With his current level of knowledge, he could get into the University of Tokyo with his eyes closed, and the math competition would be a piece of cake for him. He could finish two papers in an hour, which is a normal speed.
If you work hard and hurry up, maybe it will only take forty minutes or even half an hour.
But this is the maximum speed, after all, it takes time to write.
An Zeliang really didn't expect that in this small competition that he didn't even bother to talk about, he would defeat Tsukishima Saori again in seconds, planting the seed of persistence in her heart.
At this moment, he was leisurely eating his lunch box and listening to Aoi Nakano talking.
"An Ze-kun, are you free this weekend?"
"Let's see what happens at the company... If everything is going well and I don't need to worry about it, I'll be free."
"Well, actually my sister-in-law will be done with her work this weekend, and would like to invite you to go to a hot spring hotel with us. Is it convenient for you, Anze?"
"Sure." An Zeliang agreed. He remembered that in a certain simulation, his wife was tricked for the last time by the second-in-command in that hot spring hotel.
This time the rumor incident was resolved so quickly. In addition to Xinggong Lin, the wife also contributed a lot. I can go there to relax and protect my wife, and do her a favor.
"Well, then I'll go back and tell my sister-in-law." Nakano Aoi nodded her little head, looking very happy.
After eating lunch and attending a few classes, it was time to go home from school.
An Zeliang asked for club leave from Hoshimiya Rin via text message, saying that he was going to the company, and then waited for Hayano Hoshiko at the school gate.
During the break of the practice match, Hayano Hoshiko told him that she would take him to the company after school, and they would come back together after they were done.
However, after waiting for a while, An Zeliang did not wait for Hayano Hoshiko to show up, but instead received a text message.
"Xiaoliang, I'm sorry! The principal said he has something to talk to me about. You should go to the company first. I'll come to your house to find you when I'm done!"
"Well, don't worry."
