Chapter 430: The Pearl Covered in Dust

"If I go to your house at this time, will I meet your parents?"

Taking the elevator all the way up, Kurosawa Hikaru suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask.

Visiting a girlfriend's house is an invitation that many boys cannot refuse.

However, this is not entirely a good thing, because it would be embarrassing to think about meeting the parents.

Unlike boys' parents, most of whom are happy when their sons bring girlfriends home, it is difficult for girls' parents to have a good reaction when their daughters bring boyfriends home.

After all, there is a big difference between the two. In the former, the son has grown up and will finally be able to serve cabbage, while in the latter, the daughter has grown up and is still being treated by pigs.

"My parents are in Hokkaido, not in Tokyo."

Miki Baiyu was holding a small bag, standing with his legs together, shaking his head slightly.

"do you live alone?"

Kurosawa Hikaru could only read one meaning between the lines of her words.

"Uh-huh."

Miki Baiyu raised his hand and stroked his hair, lowering his head, a little nervous and nervous.

After receiving this affirmative answer, Kurosawa Hikaru didn't know whether to be happy or how to react.

From this point of view, she, like him, went to the capital to go to school.

It is a very common situation to leave your hometown to go to college. In contrast, before college, you usually choose a place not far from home.

For a moment, the elevator felt a little cold.

Not long after, the elevator arrived at the corresponding floor.

"Senior, do you live with your parents?"

Walking out of the elevator together, Miki Baiyu continued the topic just now.

"They are in their hometown. I came to Tokyo to go to school alone."

"Senior's hometown seems to be in Shizuoka?"

"How do you know where my hometown is?"

Kurosawa Hikaru looked sideways. His hometown was not a secret, but he had never mentioned it.

In fact, he still had a doubt that he could not solve, how Miki Baiyu found his home before.

"Because the senior is very popular in the first grade, I heard what others said."

Miki Baiyu faced his gaze, suddenly a little nervous, and explained.

This was not something she found out specifically or asked someone about. It was indeed something she heard from someone inadvertently.

Unlike when boys get together, the topics range from astronomical geography to international situations. When girls get together, 90% of the topics revolve around men.

Beauty comes from distance, and many students in the Literature Department have admiration and affection for Kurosawa-senpai.

"You were also very popular in the second grade."

Seeing her panic, Kurosawa didn't ask any further questions and smiled.

Although she didn't know what method she used to find her home, his address was not a secret place.

Because when she came to visit him, he had already become famous in the national college archery competition.

Perhaps his real name is not on the same level as Zero Hour's phenomenal influence, but with a little fame, it's not surprising that someone knows his address.

"Have you heard anything about me from others, senior?"

During the conversation, Miki Baiyu stopped in front of a door and asked curiously while taking the key from his bag.

"Yes, I have."

Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't help feeling a little nervous when he saw her actions.

Although it was not the first time for him to go to a girl's house...for example, he had been to Chizuru-san and Runa-san's houses.

But the Okamoto 001 he saw this morning had a strong impact on his young mind, and it was hard to forget.

Maybe he wasn't going to the hotel now, but following Miki Baiyu home, but he felt like he was being taken by a girl to check out a hotel room.

This was different from the first time he met Xiao Yuki and went to a hotel to book a room... because he knew very well at the time that it was just an act.

"What did you hear?"

Miki Baiyu took out the key and opened the door.

"Do you still remember when we first met, I was surprised why you didn't recognize me?"

When asked about this, Kurosawa paused for a few seconds and then touched his nose.

"Remember."

Recalling the first encounter, Miki Baiyu raised the corners of his mouth.

The first few meetings with her seniors were all very fond memories for her.

"This is not because I claim to be famous, but because a friend of mine told me that Miki, a junior from the Literature Department, wanted to ask me to hang out and said that you liked me. So after I met you, I found that you were interested in me. I didn’t have any impression, so I thought it was strange. But after I met you and saw your reaction, I realized that there was no such thing and it was all fake.”

He was unable to explain this at first, but now that he has the opportunity, Kurosawa Hikaru is not afraid to talk about it.

After all, this is a fact, and it was not his fault, it was his friend's fault.

"Although there is no such thing, the fact that I like the senior is not a lie."

Miki Baiyu didn't pay much attention to other people's rumors. He just opened the door and looked back with a smile.

"oh……"

Even though Kurosawa Hikaru was used to seeing beautiful women, he still felt a little excited when he looked back and smiled like this.

Because her white hair is like the hair of a fairy, delicate, soft and dense, swinging in the air, and filled with fragrance.

The key is her direct attack. It feels very happy to be told by a beautiful girl that she likes her.

"Senior, please come in."

"excuse me."

Kurosawa Hikaru walked into the room first and said something out of politeness.

"There's no one else at home, so there's no need to be so reserved."

Miki Baiyu closed the door at this time and turned around to come to him.

"good."

Kurosawa Hikaru is actually not strict, but just based on the various etiquette of neon.

Immediately afterwards, they took off their shoes, put on slippers without taking off their socks, and stepped onto the corridor to the living room.

"Please sit down for a moment."

When he came to the living room, Miki Baiyu invited him to sit down in front of the sofa, then turned and walked away.

Kurosawa Hikaru didn't care about this, he just sat on the sofa and looked at the home.

This apartment is quite big, even bigger than the apartment he rented. It is estimated to have three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room. Unlike many people who come to Tokyo and can only live in one bedroom.

There is nothing special about the overall decoration, it is similar to a common apartment, but there are some things that are decorated in a personal style.

For example, there is a vertical shoe cabinet with several pairs of figure skates placed on it, ranging in size from small to large. They are obviously the shoes Miki Shiraha has worn since she was a child, but she did not throw them away, but collected them.

There are some posters on the wall and many photo frames, all of which are photos of Miki Baiyu wearing Costen before. Some are cute and some are beautiful.

The poster on one wall seems to be able to see her growth trajectory.

After a while, Miki Baiyu re-entered the living room, holding a small tray with two glasses of ice water on it, as well as some biscuits and fruits.

When guests come to visit, tea should be prepared first no matter what.

If you are a very close friend and are very familiar with the environment of your home and can treat it as your own home. If you want to drink water, you will pour it yourself. If you are hungry, you will find something to eat by yourself. That is another matter.

"Did you arrange these?"

Seeing her running to get water, Kurosawa Hikaru was not surprised, but after meeting her eyes, he asked curiously.

"My parents arranged it... I wanted to tear it down, but he wouldn't allow it."

Miki Baiyu shook his head and walked forward a little helplessly.

This apartment was not rented, but bought. After all, she had to participate in competitions and needed to travel around.

"Why tear it down?"

Kurosawa Hikaru was just looking for a random topic, but when he heard this reaction, he was a little confused.

"Because I can't go back..."

Miki Baiyu put the tray on the table and looked back at the poster on the wall, feeling a little sad.

That used to be her honor, but now, even if she tries her best to return to the ice, she can no longer return to the front line due to a leg injury.

"Bai Yu, come here for a moment."

Seeing the look of disappointment on her face, Kurosawa Hikaru didn't want to make her unhappy, so he thought about it and said.

"What's wrong."

Hearing this, Miki Baiyu was a little confused, but still walked over.

When she came closer, Kurosawa Hikaru stretched out his hands and lifted her up like a doll, and placed her on his lap to sit sideways.

"!"

This sudden leap into the air, even though Miki Baiyu had been practicing figure skating since childhood and was already used to all kinds of jumps, he couldn't help but be surprised when he was not mentally prepared.

"Senior, you are so strong."

When she came back to her senses, she found herself sitting sideways on his lap. She was a little surprised but also felt shy.

"You are too light."

Kurosawa responded, raising his right arm and placing it on her knee.

This is a fact. He feels that Miki Shiraba weighs about 80 pounds at most. No wonder he looks like he will fall over if blown by the wind... But such a body shape is even more light and elegant on the skating rink.

Her beautiful legs are slender and graceful, which are the lines she has learned from dancing. Her skin is as white as jade, not the unhealthy kind of paleness, just like mutton-fat jade. It is very white and greasy under the light, and it is very attractive. .

This sudden movement made Miki Baiyu's delicate body tense up and she couldn't help but squirm a little.

Although they are in a relationship, this posture and actions make people blush.

"What did you mean when you said you couldn't go back?"

Kurosawa Hikaru gently touched her knee and asked without thinking that he was being a hooligan.

In fact, he knew very well that the Miki Baiyu he had known so far was in a low period, like a pearl covered in dust.

She is very sensitive and even has low self-esteem. What's more, she feels that the person she used to be and the person she is now are not the same person.

Even though she still loves figure skating unchanged, she can't shine like she did in the previous competition videos.

"On the competition field... I originally thought that if I worked hard enough, I could compete again. But this is not the case. Even if I have been recovering from my injury for several years, I cannot conduct very intense training because of my old illness. Now I can't even find a way to compete. I can’t even return to the level I was at before I retired, and the players my age have completely left me behind.”

When it came to skating and regrets, Miki Baiyu looked down and saw him massaging his injured knee. His shyness was washed away, replaced by an unforgettable helplessness and loss.

The days when she was ahead of all her peers, even skaters from powerful skating countries, are over.

She doesn't even have the qualifications to work hard... Even though she likes to go to the skating rink every day, that's not the case for athletes who are active on the front line.

There will be a figure skating competition soon. It is a small competition, but even if it is a small competition, she does not even have confidence.

"Do you want to go back?"

Kurosawa Hikaru saw her hanging her head and looking extremely lonely. After thinking deeply, he asked.
