Chapter 65: The Unfaced Truth of Fuji and Kumiko
After returning to the Sanada family's mansion, Sanada took Yagyu to the dojo without even changing his clothes.
"Genichiro brother, are you going to have a sword match with me?" asked Yafeng cautiously.
"Hmm, go change into your kendo uniform." Sanada said with a serious face.
Yah Feng thought to herself, "This is not good", jokingly. She was in a bad mood and wanted to vent, but comparing sword skills with Genichiro wasn't just venting, it would cost her half her life. However, today Genichiro's aura was clearly off, so Yah Feng could only follow suit.
A one-sided match ended with Yafeng lying on the ground, and at this time, all the proud horses of Kizuki no longer mattered to her. All Yafeng wanted to say was that in the future, even if she died, she would never again engage in a sword fight with Kyōya-nii when he was in a bad mood.
Over the weekend, Yafeng walked to the movie theater where he had agreed with Hisami after a few days of mental adjustment. However, as she approached, she saw someone who shouldn't be there chatting and laughing with Hisami. The scene made Yafeng's heart ache, and something in her mind seemed to be starting to become clear.
"Yah Feng." Cheng Mei was the first to spot Yah Feng not far away.
"Kumiko, Narumi, Shuusuke." Yafuu calmed himself down and approached them with a greeting.
"Yafeng, you've finally arrived, let's go buy tickets and watch a movie."
Hisami walked with Yafeng and Nifang to the cinema.
Kumiko and Narumi went to buy tickets, leaving Yuka and Niji waiting on the side.
"Yah Feng seems to be in low spirits today."
"Really? No way, I'm actually quite happy today." Yafeng said with a forced tone.
"Hehe, is it? But Yafeng's eyes are written with unhappiness." Wèi continued to say.
Yahiko was taken aback for a moment before recovering and saying, "Maybe it's just that I'm going to miss him, since I'll be meeting with Kanagawa soon."
Bu Er Wen also heard and was stunned. Yes, Ya Feng is just exchanging lives, after this semester ends, he will return to Lihai University.
"Does Zhou Zhuo also find it hard to part with me?"
"Hehe, of course." Not Two's usual smile returned.
"But it's okay, we can still see each other often during the national competition this summer."
"Yes indeed."
"After I leave, who will you guys find to be the manager? It's very busy during the national competition."
Just then Hisae returned and after hearing Gafu's words, she hastily asked: "Shūsuke-oniichan, can I be the manager?"
"Hehe, it's great if Kumi has time."
"Oh, great! Then I can often be with Brother Zhouzhuo together."
Looking at Kumiko celebrating herself and Shuuichi's gloomy face, Kaori's calm heart began to ache again. Fortunately, her phone rang.
"Ah Tao, what's wrong?" Yafeng asked the person on the other end of the phone after picking it up.
"Yafeng, where are you now?"
"What's wrong outside?"
"Come to the hamburger shop next to school now, I need your help with something." Tao Cheng's voice was a bit shy.
Yahiko looked at Hisae and the others with some difficulty, but thinking that he would also be uncomfortable and might affect their mood, he agreed, "Okay, wait for me a while."
After hanging up the phone, Yafeng apologized to Hisae: "Sorry Hisae, I may not be able to watch a movie with you today. Ataro just said she needs me for something and I have to go back to school."
Hisami pouted a bit unhappily, but Narumi said with understanding: "It's okay, we can watch the movie together next time."
"What's wrong with Atao that it's so urgent?" Niji smiled, but his tone was less gentle than usual.
"I don't know, he told me to go to school immediately, sorry, I'll leave first."
After Ya Feng left, she suddenly felt relieved and decided to be nicer to Ah Tao today.
After rushing to the hamburger store and seeing Tao Chengyafeng frowning and clutching his own hair, Peach City's elegant wind began to feel at ease.
"Ah Tao."
Taicheng saw Yafeng and his eyes lit up as if he had seen a lifesaver.
"Ah Tao, don't look at me like that, it's making me misunderstand that you've fallen in love with me." Yafeng said with a rare good mood and a teasing tone.
Taicheng's face turned red in an instant and then blackened in an instant.
"Ah, Ah Tao, won't it be that I was right?" Yafeng continued to joke.
"I'm going to fall in love with you, this little witch!" Tao Cheng blurted out.
"Oh, I see, so I'm a witch, then I'll be off."
Yah Feng said lightly and was about to leave when Tao Cheng immediately rushed up to hold him back, while also feeling regretful for speaking out of turn.
"No, no, I was wrong, Yafeng is a kind and beautiful angel, how can she be a witch?"
"Alright then, I'm in a good mood today so I'll forgive you."
Yafeng Taicheng let out a sigh of relief as he saw the rarely generous Peach City.
After Ya Feng sat down, he took a glance at the things Tao Cheng placed on the table and roughly understood why he was specifically called over today.
"Alright, say it, what did you come looking for me today?" Yafeng asked with feigned ignorance.
Taicheng scratched his hair, looking somewhat embarrassed, and muttered: "Isn't the exam coming up soon? I made a bet with Dead Viper to see who gets better grades on the final exam, so..."
Yah Feng nodded slightly and asked: "Which subjects have problems?"
"National language, English, history..."
Yah Feng rubbed his forehead, "So it's just math, no problem."
Taicheng nodded shyly.
Yafeng resigned and said: "Forget it, who made you my brother? From today on, except for training, come to me at any other time."
"Thanks, Yafeng, after I finish the exam, I'll treat you to tonkotsu ramen."
"A bowl of ramen and you think you can get rid of me? You underestimate me too much."
"What do you want then?"
Yafeng suppressed his smile and said: "At least three bowls?"
Looking at Taicheng Yafeng who finally let out a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. It wasn't until then that Taicheng realized he had been tricked by Yafeng again, his face turning red and white in succession.
In the subsequent match, Qingyuan lost to Fudoumine again, but fortunately, they had already entered the national tournament. Meanwhile, Rikkyo won against Fudoumine and regained the Kanto regional championship.
While training, Taicheng and Yafeng were like conjoined twins, always together. It wasn't until later that he realized Yafeng was avoiding him, and for the next two weeks, Yafeng didn't say a single idle word to him, making him feel quite depressed.
Finally, after finishing the last exam, Yafeng's two months of high school life also came to an end.
It's the last day, Yafeng ran to the tennis club alone after the exam ended, and she was about to leave soon. She still felt reluctant to part with this place where she had been for two months. However, when she arrived at the tennis court, there was already someone there.
Watching Yafeng turn around and prepare to leave, Niji smiled self-deprecatingly. It seems she was indeed hiding from herself, but...
"Is it because of me that you want to leave?"
Yafeng froze at the sound of Ni Feng's seemingly joking but actually somewhat angry voice, then she unwillingly turned around and squeezed out a smile, saying: "How could that be? I was just thinking of something else so I wanted to leave. Zhōu Shàng didn't speak, I hadn't even noticed Zhōu Shàng was here."
"Heh, is it? But why do I feel like Yafeng has been avoiding me all this time?"
Didn't expect Not Two to ask so bluntly, Ya Feng felt a wave of embarrassment.
"It seems like Yafeng really doesn't want to see me, it's really heartbreaking."
Looking at the smiling face of the person opposite, speaking with a sorrowful and elegant tone, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Zhou Zhu, I still have things to attend to, really, I won't chat with you anymore."
Yah Feng knew that if she stayed any longer, she would definitely be caught, so fleeing was the best option among the thirty-six strategies.
Watching the instant disappearance of Yafeng's smile, he finally couldn't hold it in. No one had ever ignored him like that before. His heart tightened as he made a silent vow to take revenge on that departing figure, but what he didn't expect was that their next encounter would be at his sister's wedding four months later.
