Kurosawa Hikaru didn't expect her to be so direct. He would be shy if he was kissed on the cheek. Looking at her beautiful smiling eyes and her admiring and worshipful look, he was stunned.
How does it feel when someone confesses to you
I feel my heart beating, I feel excited, I feel thrilled, my whole body is tingling, and there is an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
That sense of satisfaction comes from recognition and gain, just like getting feedback after doing something.
No, it's not just that, it's much more impactful.
Her face, her smile, her eyes, her hair, everything about her was like a painting, engraved in Kurosawa Mitsuru's eyes and breaking into his heart.
"Me too."
Kurosawa Mitsuru smiled. He was very glad that he had mustered up the courage and decided to take this step.
Maybe this is what it feels like to fall in love, not just because of physical attraction.
But it was what she did on this day, at this moment, that was fascinating and unforgettable.
He could conclude one thing, he fell in love with the person in front of him.
"I liked you a little when I saw you shoot your first arrow. When I realized that you might marry me, I liked you very much. When did you start?"
Their eyes met, and it was as if there was an electric shock. Shifengyuan Mirai saw his eyes, which were gentle and grateful, and couldn't help but ask.
"It started from the first time I saw you, but at this moment, it has turned into a very strong liking for you."
Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it carefully and said.
In fact, when he first saw Shifengyuan Mirai, there was a moment when he was full of admiration and fell in love at first sight.
Because Shifengyuan Mirai, whether in appearance, temperament, cold white skin, or a tall figure of nearly 1.7 meters, all meet his standards for an ideal partner, and he has an urge to be with her.
However, at that time, he had no power, no influence, and no money, while she was a rich girl. So the longing and desire he had at that moment were directly suppressed by reality and he had to be a tutor and help her with her studies.
But things have been different recently, because of the awakening of the system, he has the greatest support and confidence, so he will look at this girl again and dare to talk to her.
Shifengyuan Mirai's heart was beating fast. She blushed a little when she heard such a confession. Looking at the man in front of her, she had an urge to hug him.
"Let me make it clear in advance. Before Grandpa approves of you, we can't date, and we can't do many things."
However, she quickly curbed the impulse and made the promise.
In this matter, she was actually more impulsive than Kurosawa Hikaru, because she had been restrained by her strict family education for too long, and she was extremely eager to do many things that she was not allowed to do.
But the mentality developed from years of studying Kyudo still allows her to remain sane in the midst of madness.
"I know."
When Kurosawa Hikaru saw her delicate face and slender white neck, his face flushed and he nodded.
The girl simply stretched her hands and feet out from the cracks in the cage, but her body was still restrained by her family and had not been completely liberated.
"Four years, oh. I can only wait for you for four years at most. When I graduate from college, grandpa will let me get married."
Because this matter is very important, Shifengyuan Mirai also reminded.
"It doesn't take four years, I will be there before then." Kurosawa Mitsuru said seriously.
"good."
Women are creatures that really like commitment and attitude, Shifengyuan Mirai nodded.
"Let's go, people are coming."
At this moment, Kurosawa Hikaru discovered someone coming from behind. It was Sayaka Akai. She deliberately delayed for a while, but still followed.
After that, the two of them no longer stayed where they were, but walked forward together.
Back to the first shooting range, there were already people shooting arrows here. They were the disciples of the dojo who had just watched the competition at the second shooting range.
"Mr. Kurosawa."
With his arrival, everyone stopped shooting arrows, turned around and bowed.
Most of these people are famous figures outside the dojo, but here, they are just archers.
That's right, although Kurosawa Mitsuru, who has extraordinary archery skills, is still young, he has won the recognition and respect of everyone.
This is like a swordsman in a kendo field, who would feel respect when facing a swordsman with unparalleled strength.
"Everyone just focus on your own things, don't worry about me."
He didn't need to be greeted, but everyone saluted him. It was so solemn that Kurosawa Mitsuru felt a little uncomfortable and waved his hand.
"I'm going to go shoot some arrows."
Sifengyuan Mirai felt a little embarrassed being looked at by his fellow disciples, so he just said a few words and ran away.
It was fine between the two of them in private, but she still couldn't get used to being watched by so many people and couldn't feel at ease.
Seeing her small steps as if she was running away, the people in the dojo, who were basically old veterans with a long history, could naturally see the clues at a glance and smiled knowingly.
“Ahem.”
Being stared at by everyone, even though Kurosawa Mitsuru was thick-skinned, he couldn't stand it anymore. He coughed lightly and walked to the foot of the wall and stood there.
After watching for a while, he came to his senses and realized something. Although he wanted to shoot archery together, he had already given the Japanese bow to teacher Masaki Uesugi.
"Kurosawa, do you want to shoot arrows?"
At this moment, Uesugi Masaki came over with a bow and arrow.
"Teacher Uesugi, I'm sorry for being so rude just now."
Speak of the devil and he will appear. Kurosawa Mitsuru found that he was so considerate. Now that he has calmed down, he chooses to apologize.
He was brought into the dojo by Sensei Uesugi, but he ended up challenging the dojo master, which undoubtedly caused trouble.
"It's okay, are you feeling better?"
Uesugi Masaki didn't care about it and smiled.
Even if Kurosawa Hikaru failed to defeat Sato 9th Dan, he would not be too bothered by the matter.
Because he was very clear about the potential of this young man, and it didn't matter if he had some shortcomings. If this incident could inspire his enthusiasm for practicing Kyudo, it would be a good thing.
"Much better." Kurosawa Mitsuru knew he was referring to his desire to rest just now, and nodded.
"A heart-throb girl? She's really youthful."
Masaki Uesugi stood against the wall, looking at the girl with a high ponytail, heroic figure, and beautiful profile at the shooting point.
It was the first time he met this girl, but her extraordinary temperament, her words and deeds, and her shooting type all showed that this girl was excellent.
This is truly a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman, so well-matched that it makes people envious.
"By the way, please don't tell anyone else about what happened today."
"Don't worry, I know my limits. Even if it's the University of Tokyo, we won't interfere with students dating."
"By the way, Mr. Uesugi, when is the Kyudo tournament?"
Kurosawa Hikaru saw his smile, which was like his aunt's smile, and remembered the original agreement and asked.
“August 10 to August 12 are the competition days.”
Seeing him bring it up on his own initiative, Uesugi Masaki immediately perked up.
If this kid represented Tokyo University in the competition, given his level, he would definitely win the championship and bring glory to the school.
"The game time is so short?" Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little surprised.
This is a national competition, will it only be held for three days
He had never participated in related activities before, so he didn't know much about it... But based on what he knew about Japan from watching anime, various competitions lasted a very long time.
"Although it is a national kyudo competition, the number of participants in kyudo is relatively small compared to other martial arts. There are not that many actual participants. In addition, the kyudo competition time is very short, unlike other competitions."
"Indeed." Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and agreed.
Kyudo is different from basketball, volleyball and football. It is very straightforward. If you hit the target, you hit the target. If you miss the target, you miss the target.
"You have to reserve some time. When we get back to school tomorrow, I will help you sign up for the competition."
"good."
"If you have time, come to the club more often. Don't be like before, where you only reported once and couldn't find anyone."
After getting his consent, Uesugi Masaki said quietly.
He was very concerned about the fact that Kurosawa Hikaru reported to school once on Wednesday and disappeared since then until today.
After all, the University of Tokyo is an institution that values culture. It was not easy to find such a gifted genius, and he was very excited at first. But he kept waiting for the person, and even couldn't find the person, which made him anxious to death.
If Kurosawa Mitsuru hasn't contacted him today, he will go to the classroom and block the door tomorrow.
"If I have time, I will show up at the club."
Kurosawa Mitsuru was very grateful that he had made a special trip today and nodded, but did not agree on a specific time.
After all, he has a lot of things to do recently, and he has to deal with three girls.
"Go shoot some arrows, let me see your amazing archery skills again."
Having said that, Uesugi Masaki felt relieved and didn't force him to stay. He handed the bow to him.
"There's no seat yet, let's talk later."
Kurosawa Mitsuru took the bow he handed over, looked at the shooting point, and did not walk over.
The Zhuifeng Dojo is very lively. Although it is not crowded, there are still more than a dozen disciples.
Even though the shooting range is large and spacious, covering a large area, there are only ten targets, and only ten people can draw bows and shoot arrows at the same time, and the rest have to line up nearby.
Not long after the words were spoken, the person who was drawing the bow and shooting the arrow at the shooting point left the shooting point after shooting an arrow.
“There’s room!”
Even though that position was not next to Shifengyuan Mirai, Kurosawa Hikaru's eyes still lit up and he couldn't help but want to move forward, but after looking at the people in line, he stopped again.
But he didn't wait long. After a round of archery, that position was not replaced by anyone, and there were more and more empty spaces at the shooting point.
One, two, until finally, only Shifengyuan Mirai was left at the target.
Most of them were archers over 30 years old, holding bows and standing aside so as not to get in the way.
"Mr. Kurosawa, please."
After waiting for a while, a middle-aged man in his fifties with gray hair spoke.
"Mr. Kurosawa, please."
"this… "
Kurosawa Hikaru was a little uncomfortable with being treated so specially.
At this moment, he was pushed on the back, but he did not stagger. Instead, he took a step forward and stabilized himself.
"Kyudo is a martial art. Although it is not like other martial arts where strength is paramount, strength can still win respect and applause. Everyone wants to see you shoot arrows, so don't be polite. Go ahead." The person who pushed him was none other than Uesugi Masaki.
"Okay." Kurosawa Mitsuru looked at him, then looked at those people, and nodded.
Immediately, he walked with the bow in his hand and came to the side of Shifengyuan Mirai.
Unlike formal competitions, there is no need to go through the complicated etiquette at the shooting range.
Because this matter caused quite a stir, Sifengin Mirai naturally knew about it a long time ago. When he came over, he turned his head and glanced at him.
Kurosawa Hikaru glanced at her and nodded slightly.
Needless to say, Shifengyuan Mirai, with an arrow in his hand, began to move.
As originally agreed, the two men shot arrows together.
