Chapter 5: Phoenix Emperor Qingshui 3
I was very impressed by what Senior Qingshui said. They are clearly doing good deeds, but they are very low-key and not as ostentatious as some people.
I couldn't help but look at him twice more.
"Ayang, what do you think of our Xiao Liu?" Senior Lian Jian, unwilling to be ignored, suddenly interrupted.
"Senior Renjian--" I stood up suddenly. How could I ask like that? It was so embarrassing.
"Oh, don't be shy! I've told Ayang almost everything about you, Xiaoliu - I really think you two are a good match."
"Freeze said--"
" Freeze said--"
I turned around embarrassedly and looked at Qingshuiyang, and he happened to be looking at me.
"Wow, you said it in unison! I see, you two are super compatible. Don't you really want to consider being together?"
After saying this, Senior Hasumi suddenly flashed to my side and whispered in my ear: "Yang and Hideki are completely different. If Hideki is too interested in people, this guy had no interest in people before, so he is definitely not a playboy like Hideki. It seems that he pays attention to you. Why don't you consider it carefully? What a good opportunity!"
How could the senior suddenly be so gossipy? Besides, when it comes to dating a boy, you can't make a decision right after you meet him!
"Hey! Ah Xi, you have time to talk, why don't you go feed the cats and dogs! Auntie and uncle are going out of town for an outing today, and they won't be back before 10 pm. Do you want the dogs to starve?"
"Okay, okay, I get it. I'll go feed them." Senior Hasumi muttered, and turned around with a disappointed look on his face to feed the pets that had already started crying.
"Then I'll take you to catch the bus!" Senior Qingshui saved me from embarrassment with just one sentence.
I said goodbye to the busy senior Hasumi, and senior Shimizu untied his apron and left the pet shop with me.
"Um...it must have cost the seniors a lot to rent this shop, right?"
"Well, it's okay, not much." Qingshui Yang is about the same height as Hideki, but when he walked with me, he walked very slowly in order to match me, which made me feel warm in my heart.
It seems that like Miss Seta, Senior Shimizu is also a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside!
"We, the Shimizu family, are a noble clan that has existed since ancient times."
"Huh?" I opened my eyes wide, as if I had never heard of this word before!
"They are a group of people who specialize in teaching etiquette in the palace in the past." Qing Shuiyang explained to me patiently, "In modern times, just teaching flower arrangement and etiquette can bring in a lot of money. There are also teaching tea ceremony, calligraphy and the like. Our schools are all over the country, and we have branches in many foreign countries."
"Ah, I understand!" In short, the Shimizu family is also a large family with a long history.
"Well, don't look at Ah Xi like that. His father's business is involved in the energy-saving industry in several countries. He likes sports, so he doesn't seem to be arrogant. But in fact, both he and I have considerable pocket money."
"So that's how it is..." I nodded.
Students at Huanghua College usually come from wealthy or noble families. Pick any one of them and they are all young masters or young ladies from big families. But the difference is that they never show off their family background. Here, one's own strength is the most important.
"But why do you still have to do it yourself? Not only is school study very intense, but the seniors are all in their third year of high school. Even if the store is busy, you can always ask someone to help!" Maybe because I felt very comfortable talking to Senior Shimizu, I started chatting with him as we walked.
"Since it is something you want to do, you must participate in completing it yourself. This is the family motto of our Qingshui family."
"It feels great. My mom said something similar."
"Really?" Qingshui Yang tilted his head and looked at me.
"Yeah! That's what she said when she taught me how to make a duck puppet. The puppets I make myself are the cutest!" I felt a little embarrassed. Why did I feel like I was bragging?
"Your mother is right." Senior Qingshui nodded and responded to me with a slight smile.
This senior is such an inclusive guy that makes people feel comfortable around him!
Thinking of this, I found some more topics to chat with him, and there was no dull moment as we talked while walking. This time I felt that the station was not far away and we would arrive there in a short while.
My meeting with Senior Shimizu was a bit awkward due to Senior Hasumi's arrangement, but I think it was just an episode in life.
It was Sunday morning when I received Hideki’s call. I was having breakfast with my dad.
Not many people know my cell phone number. The only people in my address book are Seta, Hasumi, my homeroom teacher and my dad.
Looking at the unfamiliar number flashing on the phone screen, I thought about it before answering the call.
"What time will you be back to school today?" Hideki's voice came from the phone.
"I... don't know yet..." Since that day when I saw him with other girls in the corridor, I never saw him again.
Who wants to make himself angry for no reason? Anyway, he has no shortage of people around him, humph!
"Will you come over this afternoon?"
"Well, probably..." Since my dad was there, I would probably be questioned a lot if I refused, so I had to answer casually.
"I'll wait for you in the small garden behind the teaching building. See you then." Hideki said this and hung up the phone.
I held the toast in my hand, not knowing whether I should continue eating it.
No, no! That guy has no respect for others. I don't want to go!
I made up my mind, imagined the toast in my hand as Hideki's playboy, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Unfortunately, I got choked.
"Woo--Dad, give me water!"
I finally swallowed the fatal toast, and then I lay weakly on the table with my face flushed.
Damn Hideki Oda, how come he's still so torturous even after turning into toast!
