Natsu Chuan Zhenliang stood quietly in front of Yan Kai, while Yan Kai sat in front of the low table, holding two palm leaves in his hands. Just before he saw him straightening the two palm leaves, the next second he had more in his hands. A vivid grasshopper emerged.
No matter the tentacles or wings, no matter the serrations on the mouth or the barbs on the limbs, every detail is vivid and lifelike, just like a living grasshopper.
"How's it going? Have you learned it?"
Yan Kai held up the grasshopper and shook it at Chi Tong.
"..."
Chi Tong's beautiful ruby-like eyes were lifeless, as if covered with a layer of dust.
Hand: How to operate this, I can't do it at all.
Eye: Stop talking about you, I didn’t see it clearly at all!
Brain: Don’t ask me, I’m a mess right now…
Chitong's hands, eyes, and brain are all telling Chitong, sister, please don't embarrass us, let's play another game!
When she was visiting the school festival just now, she fell in love with a straw grasshopper at a stall selling handicrafts. She wanted to buy it but found that her "God Ticket" had been spent.
That's right, the "Kamima Voucher" equivalent to the purchasing power of 30,000 yen was exchanged by Akatomi for various snacks and snacks in a very short period of time and then eaten up. If Kitayama Xiongwu hadn't left a penny for Akatomi The food expenses were very generous, and Yan Kai felt that he could be bankrupted by her.
The "Shenjian Ticket" was gone, and Chitong really wanted to weave a grasshopper, so Yan Kai went to find a palm tree in the green belt, pulled two leaves from it, and made one for Chitong.
Speaking of grasshopper weaving, this is a traditional folk art from the Central Plains. Yan Kai was able to weave grasshoppers when he was three years old. At that time, Yan Kai had not even started learning martial arts.
Chitong got what she wished for and got the straw grasshopper. Not only did it cost no money, it was also countless times more beautiful and exquisite than the one sold at the stall. The student who set up the stall was so angry that he jumped up and down.
Playing in the gym? I have never seen such a bully!
Yan Kai also had something to say about this. A poor straw grasshopper actually dared to sell two thousand "god coupons". This is Japan. If it were in the Central Plains, Yan Kai would kick his stall directly. , Madhei store!
Straw grasshoppers are very beautiful, but Chitong is more interested in the actual weaving method. She wants to buy straw grasshoppers because she wants to ask the stall owner how to weave straw grasshoppers. Since Yan Kai is good at it, and her craftsmanship is better than that of the stall owner. She didn't know how many times it was done, so she naturally asked Yan Kai to teach her.
This kind of straw grasshopper is a kind of traditional folk art of the Central Plains. It can be said that it is within the scope of activities of their "Central Plains Cultural Interest Society". Chitong wants to learn it, and Yan Kai is of course willing to teach it. He pulled it from the green belt without leaving a trace. The next palm branch was secretly taken away and brought back to the activity room, where he began to teach Chitong how to weave grasshoppers.
Seeing the confused look in Chi Tong's eyes, Yan Kai knew that Chi Tong had not learned. He sighed and said to Chi Tong: "I will slow down and do it again. Please watch carefully!"
Without waiting for Chitong to respond, Natsukawa Zhenliang, who stood quietly waiting for Yan Kai's answer, became a little impatient. She said to Yan Kai: "President Yan Kai, did you hear what I just said?"
Just now, she told Yan Kai that she had something to do and needed to take some time off. She might even be absent from the afternoon dance performance. She asked Yan Kai to forgive her willfulness and approve her absence from the following school festival club activities. , and Yan Kai just said "Oh", as if he didn't hear anything, and only concentrated on how to teach Chi Tong to weave grasshoppers.
"I heard it!"
Yan Kai slowly tore off two slender leaves from the palm branches and began to weave grasshoppers again. This time he would go slower. How about half the original speed?
"What's your answer?"
Natsukawa Zhenliang asked. She actually wanted Yan Kai to be angry and scold her for causing trouble to everyone, because it would make her feel better.
She felt guilty that she had betrayed everyone by being absent when the club needed her.
This club seems very loose, and everyone comes in and does their own thing, but getting along with them is actually quite comfortable, at least for Natsukawa Masuo, a Japanese who has become a monk on the way.
Japan is a very homogeneous country, especially among people in the same group.
Being different from others is a sin in this country.
The silver-haired and blue-eyed Natsukawa Masuo has never lacked weird sights around her since she came to Japan. Only here, she will only appear to be incompatible with other people because she is not special enough. No one else will ever be weird. Looking at her with strange eyes, here, she can read some strange books and enjoy the air of freedom and not loneliness.
But now, she has betrayed the group that allowed her to remain "different". This is where the guilt in Natsukawa Masuo's heart comes from. In addition to guilt, there is more fear.
After abandoning this group at the most critical moment, can she return to this group?
This is what scares her the most.
"Didn't I just say that, oh."
When Xia Chuanzhenliang's fear arose, Yan Kai replied calmly.
"Excuse me, what does 'oh' mean..."
Oh oh oh, oh how big you are, why do you always answer my questions with just "oh"?
If it were in the past, Natsukawa Zhenliang would have been gushing like this in her heart, but now, she is not in such a mood.
Yan Kai suddenly put down the palm leaves, raised his head and looked at Xia Chuanzhenliang seriously: "It's rare, this time I didn't scold me in my heart."
"Uh... President Yan Kai, what do you mean?"
Natsukawa Zhenliang said doubtfully.
"I mean..." Yan Kai pushed up his glasses and said, "Usually when I answer 'oh', you always scold me in your mind. Just now I thought you didn't hear clearly, so I didn't scold me. This time I said It’s very clear, but you still didn’t scold me, which is really rare!”
"you……"
Xia Chuan Zhenliang was startled. Could it be that he was scolding Yan Kai in his heart and Yan Kai knew about it?
"Yes, you have been arranging me in your mind before, and I know all this. In fact, I am more sensitive to other people's psychological activities, especially who is scolding me in my heart, I can basically feel it."
Yan Kai nodded calmly.
Because it was too troublesome to explain to Natsukawa Masuo why warriors have a strong ability to sense ordinary people's thoughts after being "tranced", so Yan Kai directly said that he had an ability similar to the sixth sense, and it didn't matter anyway. It's a lie.
Damn it, you actually have such ability!
Natsukawa Masuo was shocked.
She had heard of the existence of people who were very sensitive to others scolding them, but she didn't know that such a person was actually around her, and she was still slandering him in her heart all day long!
"Then why...why..." Xia Chuanzhenliang wanted to ask Yan Kai why he wasn't angry and why he didn't kick her out of the club.
If it were anyone else, it would definitely feel very uncomfortable if someone around them kept scolding them in their mind, right?
"Just think about it. It's not a crime to think about it. The law only restricts people's behavior but not their thoughts. How can I be more tyrannical than the law?" Yan Kai chuckled.
"..."
Xia Chuan was really speechless. Yan Kai's words seemed right, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that not many people could do it.
Anyway, if Xia Chuanzhenliang knew that someone was scolding her in her heart, she would definitely punish that person, severely!
"Besides, I want to scold but I can't, so I hold it in. It's more interesting this way, isn't it..."
Yan Kai touched his chin and said.
Oh, it turns out we are waiting here! How come you, a Central Plains man, are worse than me?
Natsukawa Zhenliang entered the mode of smiling but not smiling.
"Yes, that's it! You look like you used to be now. Just now, you were so depressed that I felt uncomfortable!"
Yan Kai snapped his fingers and said.
Xia Chuanzhenliang was stunned again. She suddenly didn't understand what kind of person Yan Kai was. Was what he said just now meant to change her mood?
This is how it makes people so angry!
"Don't you want to ask me why something happened temporarily?"
Xia Chuanzhenliang asked Yan Kaidao.
A short word "oh", not even a question, and no blame. It was so simple to allow her to miss such an important club activity. Yan Kai didn't need Xia Chuan Zhenliang to explain anything to him, but now, Xia Chuan Zhenliang did. She really wanted Yan Kai to give her a reason.
Yan Kai thought for a moment and then said after a moment of silence: "If I ask, will your problem be cleared?"
"..." This time it was Xia Chuanzhenliang's turn to be silent. What happened was not determined by her will at all. It was indeed of no use to Yan Kai if he asked. She replied slowly, "No."
"Then what am I asking? It's all in vain!" Yan Kai said simply. He hated talking boring nonsense.
"..."
Do you know how to chat?
Natsukawa Zhenliang actually understood very well at this time. When asked why Kasumigaoka Shiyu always got so angry that she wanted to hit someone after saying a few words when talking to Yan Kai. She also wanted to hit someone now, very, very much!
"Okay, it's just a joke." Yan Kai smiled, and then said seriously, "I think the reason for your absence from the event will probably make you very uncomfortable, so I don't want you to say it, because it will only It’ll make you feel troubled, it’s that simple.”
Are you so kind?
Because of Yan Kai's previous bad behavior, Xia Chuanzhenliang found it hard to believe that Yan Kai would be so kind and cast suspicious eyes on Yan Kai.
"...If you don't believe it, I'll knock you down." Yan Kai curled his lips and said.
He also saw that Natsukawa Masuo was in a very depressed mood when he came into the activity room, and even had a slight self-destructive tendency. This was a rare kindness, but he was misunderstood, which really disappointed him.
As for saying that this was entirely because of what he said just now, which left a bad impression in Natsukawa Masashi's mind... Yan Kai doesn't care!
"But what if I'm really absent from the show?"
Natsukawa Masuo was very unsure whether she could make it to the afternoon performance. Even if she did, she didn't know if she would have enough energy to perform the performance perfectly after accompanying the greasy boy to the school festival. , she must prepare for the worst.
"How about letting the senior sister sing a one-man show!"
Yan Kai clapped his hands.
Let Kasumigaoka Shiu perform dance with her "air dance partner", this scene seems very interesting!
"..."
Xia Chuanzhenliang looked at Yan Kai with a dead look.
Yan Kai himself laughed: "Well, I guess if I really do this, senior sister will definitely kill me and then commit suicide."
On the one hand, Kasumigaoka Shiyu doesn't care about other people's opinions. She doesn't care if they say she doesn't fit in with others, that she doesn't respect her teachers, or that she is arrogant. These are generally derogatory words in the eyes of Japanese people.
But on the other hand, she also cares about other people's opinions, saying that she is a vase, saying that she is a pleasure, saying that she has no talent. When hearing these words, even if Kasumigaoka Shiyu pretends not to care on the surface, she often cares a lot in her heart. , it’s just that she is so strong that she will never show her weak side in front of others. She would rather others regard her as an rude and sharp-tongued girl than think that she is easy to bully.
She can accept hostility, hatred and even dislike, but she can never accept contempt, contempt and ridicule. This is Kasumigaoka Shiyu, a literary girl who is proud and sensitive, with self-esteem and vulnerability.
Let her perform awkwardly on a stage that attracts everyone's attention. Let's not say whether she can continue. Anyway, after the incident, she and Yan Kai can only survive at most.
Even if you have some self-awareness...
Xia Chuan Zhenliang's eyes turned warm when he heard that Yan Kai was just joking.
She actually quite liked Kasumigaoka Shiu, a tough-talking and soft-hearted senior, but she was not allowed to accept such humiliation.
"Well, there is still some time before the performance starts. I will slowly think of a solution. We have a saying in the Central Plains, 'As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.' Xia Chuan, just relax and do your own things. , don’t worry about things here.”
Yan Kai said to Xia Chuan Zhenliang.
Although Yan Kai didn't say a harsh word, no, it was precisely because Yan Kai didn't say a harsh word that Xia Chuan Zhenliang felt even more uncomfortable.
Natsukawa Zhenliang said to Yan Kai: "President Yan Kai, you really don't blame me? Don't you blame me as a deserter?"
It would not be an exaggeration to say that her current behavior was an escape from the battlefield, and it also ruined Yan Kai's original plan and made things a mess. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a heinous crime. According to the Japanese tradition, it is the right thing to stand down and apologize, but Yan Kai Kai let her go so easily, which not only made Natsukawa Mareyo feel unbelievable, but also made her feel even more guilty.
She didn't think that Yan Kai couldn't bear to blame her because of her beauty. Kasumigaoka Shiu, Busujima Saeko, Esdeath-sensei, and even Eve, who was still young but had already "showed her sharp corners" , none of these people are inferior to her in appearance. Although Natsukawa Zhenliang is very confident in her appearance, she has not risen to the level of being shameless. She feels that Yan Kaixi looks at her differently because of her appearance.
And it can be seen from Yan Kai's usual attitude towards her that Yan Kai really doesn't take her seriously.
"It's my fault for what you did. You're already feeling so uncomfortable."
Yan Kai sighed.
When Xia Chuan Zhenliang told him that he would miss the event at first, Yan Kai must have been unhappy, but he was just unhappy. Under Xia Chuan Zhenliang's stiff smile, there was a broken heart. How could he be so embarrassed? Are you going to scold her again?
Yan Kai was not very good at comforting people. The only thing he could do was to try his best to downplay the matter and not let Xia Chuanzhenliang care too much. That's why he acted so calmly at the beginning.
Xia Chuanzhenliang's heart twitched.
Hahaha, in the end, even a person I don’t know very well cared about me more than you? My father...
Xia Chuanzhenliang bit her lip, not knowing whether she was happy or sad.
