Chapter 139 Prince of Tennis Study Session
"Sorry, sorry, I was wrong this time~" Zhao Lan held the phone, his fingertips unconsciously turning the phone charm.
Atobe Keigo's signature humming sound came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of tsundereness in his gorgeous voice: "Hmph, it's good that you know. Yesterday, I specially..."
"I know." Zhao Lan softened his voice slightly. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a few pairs of pricked ears at the other side of the dining table.
Zhao Lan was on the phone, and several people eating at the table were quietly listening to the conversation.
Niou observed the scene with great interest, his eyes swept over Kirihara who had been silent ever since he heard that he was here to tutor Arashi.
His fox eyes turned, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth——
“So hot——!!”
The sudden scream interrupted Zhao Lan's call. Kirihara Akaya's face turned red, and he jumped up from his seat while breathing heavily, grabbed the teacup and poured it into his mouth.
"Water! Give me water!"
Tezuka, who was about to speak, paused slightly and asked, "Is it lively over there?" There was a hint of amusement in his voice.
Zhao Lan looked at Kirihara's tearful face helplessly: "…The exam is coming soon, I took too long this time, everyone came to help."
"Oh? Help with studying." A slight leather friction sound came from the other end of the phone. It was probably because Atobe adjusted his sitting position. "When it comes to studying, I think I'm no worse than anyone else."
"Hmm?" Zhao Lan was about to ask, when he heard Oshitari's smiling voice on the other end of the phone: "If you want to study, we can also help you~"
"Shut up, Oshitari!" Atobe said into the phone, "Wait for me!" and hung up.
"Hello? What do you mean? Atobe..." Zhao Lan stared at the phone, and there was only a "beep..." She put down the phone speechlessly. Forget it, let's go eat first.
If we eat this breakfast any later it will be noon.
"What's wrong? Is Atobe coming over?" Yukimura Seiichi walked over and asked, holding two cups of freshly brewed tea in his hands.
Zhao Lan took the teacup: "He seems to mean this..." right?
"Puri~" Niou suddenly popped up from between the two of them, "Hyotei vs Rikkai University tutoring competition?" He imitated the tone of a TV commentator, "Which prestigious school's teaching method is better? Let's wait and see!"
"Stop talking nonsense," Zhao Lan rolled her eyes at him, and as she was speaking, the phone in her hand rang again.
Zhao Lan took a look and saw that it was Tezuka who called this time. As soon as she answered the phone, Tezuka's voice came over, "It's better not to talk on the phone for too long at night. It will affect your rest and sleep."
The voice was still as cold and clear as before, but the words that came out of her mouth made her feel as if the teacher was standing in front of her...
Zhao Lan frowned, "Sorry, I was having a good time chatting with Yuko last night and forgot the time."
Tezuka: "Well, you should pay attention to time next time. Also, the exam is coming up soon, are you having no problem studying?"
"Don't worry, everyone has taken notes for me and brought me materials, so there shouldn't be any problem."
"That's good..." He was silent for a moment, then added: "Studying is important, but you also need to take care of your health."
"Okay, I got it, Guoguang." Zhao Lan hung up the phone with a smile. Noticing the familiar gaze falling on her, she turned around and met Yukimura's eyes.
He didn't know when he was standing there, looking at her with a smile.
Raising her hand to tidy up her hair, she turned to look at the restaurant. Everyone had already cleaned up the tables and put away the garbage.
With a dry laugh, okay, "Study and learn!"
Behind her, Yukimura looked at her back for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the restaurant, Yukimura and Yanagi Renji helped her sort out the content to be learned today.
Looking at the pile of study materials in front of Zhao Lan, Kirihara snickered, sympathized with her for a second, then happily turned around and walked towards the game room.
As soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Sanada with a dark face, "Akaye, where are you going?"
"I, I just want to get a drink..." Kirihara's heart sank. He laughed dryly and scratched his head.
"Akaye, do you think you have no problem with the exam?" Yukimura looked at him with a smile.
Being stared at like this by the two, a thin layer of sweat instantly appeared on Kirihara's forehead: "...Um, I suddenly remembered that I haven't finished my homework yet..."
"Too lax!" Sanada shouted, shocking Kirihara. "Exams are coming up, and you're still thinking about playing games?"
"Yes, sorry..." He held his head, "I'll go study right away!"
Yukimura smiled and took out a stack of test papers from his schoolbag: "That's great, I have prepared a few mock test papers here."
Kirihara's face turned pale as paper in an instant. : "Bu- ...
Seeing his pitiful look, Zhao Lan couldn't help laughing, "Okay, Chiye, if you finish today's mock test, I will treat everyone to your favorite mermaid... ahem, dessert..."
Kirihara's eyes lit up: "Really? The one I love most?" That dessert was truly his favorite in his life!
"Of course~"
“Okay—” Kirihara clenched his fist, “For that dessert, I’m going to fight for it today!!”
"The prerequisite is that the accuracy rate must reach more than 70%." Yukimura added with a smile.
“Ah?? More than 70%??” Kirihara screamed…
Of course, Zhao Lan didn't need anyone to urge her. She opened the study materials compiled by Yukimura and the others and began to read through them quickly.
Yukimura and Yanagi kept up with her learning pace, occasionally explaining things to her, or they would stop from time to time to discuss in a low voice.
After all, it is something you have already learned. Although it will take some time to master it again, it will definitely not be that difficult.
Kirihara glanced at Zhao Lan with envy, he looked at the director and senior Liu who were tutoring Lan with a gentle breeze and drizzle, and then looked at the deputy director with a sullen face in front of him.
"Focus, where are you looking at Akaye!!"
"Yes~~"
He wailed in his heart. If he had known that when the minister and others said they wanted to come to the Arashi family in the morning, he should have refused together with senior Marui and the others. What a mistake!
On the sofa, Ren Wang has been observing Zhao Lan quietly since he came in today. He is even deliberately imitating her movements.
Especially when Zhao Lan stood up and walked, he observed very carefully.
Zhao Lan naturally noticed such a strong gaze, but she didn't care. Thinking of Ren Wang's usual hobbies and his abilities, she roughly guessed what he wanted to do.
Time passed slowly, Lian Er got up and went into the kitchen. After a while, he came out with a teapot and poured a cup of tea for everyone. "An hour is up."
"Thank you," Zhao Lan took the tea and rubbed his eyes.
Sanada said at the right time: "Take a break for twenty minutes, and then continue."
"Yes!"
Kirihara jumped up on the spot, "Dinner, Dim Sum Arashi!!" After being stared at by the deputy minister with such a stern face for an hour, he was going to collapse if it didn't end.
"Okay, wait till I get it."
Just then, the doorbell outside the yard rang again.
Over there, Niou had already jumped over and opened the door, "Hey~ Everyone from Hyotei, long time no see!"
Atobe Keigo stood outside the door with one hand in his pocket. He took off his sunglasses elegantly and his gray-blue eyes swept over the people coming out of the house: "It seems that I came at the right time..."
