Tokyo's most affectionate

Kurosawa Hikaru, who was driving, glanced sideways at her and found that she had returned to her usual cold and calm state. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was at a loss.

I have to say, Miss Ninomiya's parents are really strong.

As a top student graduating from the Department of Economics at the University of Tokyo, and a profit-seeking and sharp-eyed banker, it is understandable that he has reached such a height after so many years of hard work.

For a moment, the relaxed and happy atmosphere just now fell to freezing point.

The process from having hope to having hope dashed is so short that it makes it hard to laugh.

The car kept moving forward, but the two people seemed to stay where they were at this moment.

In fact, when Kurosawa Mitsuru asked her whether she liked being a teacher, he actually wanted to break up this relationship.

After all, they are a teacher and a student. Miss Ninomiya would be wary when interacting with him and would not be able to be open with him at all.

"By the way, what kind of people are your parents?"

After a while, Ninomiya Chizuru completely calmed down her disappointment and helplessness. She found that the atmosphere in the car was not very good, so she took the initiative to find a topic.

"A loving couple selling oden, right?"

After hearing this, Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and continued.

"I know. I mean their personalities."

As his teacher, Chizuru Ninomiya naturally knew about his family situation, but her knowledge of him was limited to information. She had never had actual contact or even a conversation with him.

Because Kurosawa Hikaru performed so well in school, was in good health, and never had any problems, there was no need to inform his parents or discuss anything.

"They are very good to me and have been proud of me since I was a child. No matter what I ask for, they will try their best to satisfy me and give me the best."

When talking about his family, Kurosawa Hikaru was also a little emotional.

He has possessed the mind of an adult since he was young, and he decided to learn from his mistakes in this life and make sure he gets admitted to a good university. He has been taking exams to death since he was two years old.

He has been obedient, sensible, polite and mature since he was young. In addition, he has always been the top student in the grade. He is the child of other people's parents and is even called a genius.

Is he a genius? He knows the truth very well, and so do his parents.

After all, he had been studying day and night since he was a child, and had put in countless efforts and hardships. He could be said to be the king of papers... But when he was admitted to the University of Tokyo, there were still six people in his class who were better than him.

"That's great. Do your parents care what job you do?"

Having the opportunity to learn about his parents, Ninomiya Chizuru was also very curious.

"No, they let me do whatever job I wanted... When I was in primary school, there were many times when they confiscated my books and told me to stop studying and go out and play with the neighbourhood kids."

Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head slightly and smiled.

At that time, there was no way he would play with the neighborhood kids... After all, his small body contained a 22-year-old soul.

"Have you been reading since you were in primary school?"

Ninomiya Chizuru was a little surprised when she heard this.

Confiscating books was something she couldn't imagine... After all, every student's parents wanted their children to study hard.

She couldn't help but think of Kurosawa Hikaru's performance in school.

Since being admitted to the University of Tokyo, Kurosawa Hikaru has been either in the classroom or in the library. He has excellent academic performance and is basically always reading and studying. He is a very quiet person.

Perhaps it is due to years of reading that he developed his gentle and sunny temperament, as well as a calm style of doing things.

"I thought it was boring to play with kids, I might as well study hard."

"What is that? Aren't you too precocious?"

Ninomiya Chizuru imagined the scene where his parents confiscated his books and sent him out to play, and she couldn't help but laugh, with the corners of her mouth slightly curved.

In fact, compared to her peers, she was already relatively precocious, but even so, she was very playful when she was a child.

Her parents began to control her life and friends from a young age, and even investigated the family conditions of the children she played with.

Chizuru, this child's parents are very poor, so don't play with her. Even when her friends come to see her, she will frown as soon as she sees them, and directly scold and drive them away.

Qianhe, that child's family is well off, and his father is the chairman of a listed company. You should go and play with him.

These two sentences became the shadow of her childhood...even until now, she still finds it hard to forget.

She has very few friends because she doesn't want to make friends with the ones her parents picked for her out of rebelliousness.

For all these years, Runa was her only good friend.

She was able to play with Runa and know him as a close friend for so many years thanks to Runa's family being well off, but not particularly wealthy either. Their family was just at the passing line, neither too high nor too low.

The most important reason is that Runa is enthusiastic and outgoing. I like her and want to make friends with her. Even though her parents are a little scary, I will still come to play with her again and again.

Chapter 171 Let’s Travel Together

Because of family topics and childhood fun, the atmosphere in the car became much better with everyone talking and laughing.

At 11:, after nearly three hours of driving, we finally arrived at our destination.

"Here we are."

After reversing into the parking space and pulling the handbrake, Kurosawa Hikaru let out a long sigh of relief and finally let go of the steering wheel.

Although he likes Miss Runa's car very much, he still gets tired after driving it for a long time.

"Thank you for your hard work. Where is this place?"

Seeing that he looked relieved, Ninomiya Chizuru expressed her condolences and then looked around through the car window.

This is an open-air parking lot with quite a few cars nearby. At first glance, you can't tell where this place is.

“One of Nagano Prefecture’s famous scenic spots, Asera Valley.”

Kurosawa Hikaru unbuckled his seat belt and introduced himself.

"The creek valley? Are you going to sketch by the creek today?"

Although this was the first time I had heard of Ninomiya Chizuru, I could get a sense of what kind of place it was just from the name.

She is not a travel expert, so she is not familiar with many scenic spots in the country.

"Get out of the car."

Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded slightly, confirmed the sketching location, took out the key, turned off the car, and pushed open the door.

After getting off the car, he supported his right shoulder with one hand, shook his arm, stretched his muscles, and walked to the rear of the car.

"I'm here to help."

Chizuru Ninomiya got out of the car and saw his actions and followed him.

They are not here just to travel this time, but to sketch, so they must bring painting supplies.

When she reached the rear of the car, Kurosawa Hikaru had already opened the trunk.

She took a look and saw several large bags filled with a lot of things.

At first glance, there is a drawing board, a stand to fix the drawing board, a bag filled with many small things, and a tightly packed package?

She had taken art classes before, so she had some idea about these things.

"Take this."

Although he was supposed to be a gentleman, Kurosawa Hikaru only had two hands after all, and he couldn't carry everything in one go, so he simply handed the folded fixed stand to her.

"I can still take it."

Taking the aluminum fixing bracket, which was large but very light, Ninomiya Chizuru clamped it on her waist with one hand and stretched out her other hand.

It took three hours to drive here from Tokyo, and she couldn't help along the way and could only watch.

In comparison, Kurosawa had been driving Runa's car for so long that he was already very tired, and it was her turn.

"Then trouble you."

When Kurosawa Mitsuru saw her actions, he thought about it and handed her the bag containing various painting supplies without any hesitation.

This bag contains small items such as paintbrushes, drawing paper, and craft knives. Although there are quite a few of them, they are still relatively light.

Then, Kurosawa Mitsuru picked up the remaining large drawing boards and the package, which were quite heavy.

"Boom."

After closing the trunk and locking the car, they started walking.

From the free parking lot, it only takes a few minutes to walk to Asura Valley.

"You seem to be familiar with this place. Have you been here before?"

Because his steps were very comfortable and natural, Chizuru Ninomiya, wearing high heels, carrying a bag and holding a fixed bracket, strolled with him, looking at the completely unfamiliar environment around her with some curiosity.

"This is my first time here. I am familiar with this place because I looked up a lot of guides on the Internet before choosing this place. The road to Asi Valley is easy to identify. Just follow the road."

Kurosawa Mitsuru smiled. He used to be buried in his studies and didn't know many things about Japan.

But now the Internet is very convenient, and you can basically get everything done by just searching online.

“Will there be a lot of people?”

Ninomiya Chizuru nodded and looked around.

There were quite a few people around, basically they were either with their families or in pairs, men and women talking and laughing, probably couples... and some elderly people.

It wasn’t a huge number, but a quick glance at the road showed that there were more than a dozen of them.

“There are quite a lot of people. After all, it is one of the famous attractions in Nagano Prefecture. There are not only locals but also foreigners.”

"Are there many people?"

Upon learning of this situation, Ninomiya Chizuru suddenly became a little nervous and uneasy.

Although Tokyo is a three-hour drive from here, today is Saturday, which is the perfect time for traveling and playing.

Perhaps at such a far distance, the possibility of being recognized has been reduced to a minimum, but after all, it is in a public place and a tourist attraction. If someone knows her, it will be troublesome.

"The Asi Valley is six kilometers long and very wide. We need to find a place with few people along the way. It's not easy to sketch in crowded places."

Kurosawa Hikaru naturally knew her concerns and added.

"Indeed, places with a lot of people are too noisy."

Hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru immediately agreed.

"When you learned that you were going to a place with few people, your first reaction was not nervousness, but relief?" Seeing her reaction, Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little amused and thought to himself.

When girls find out that boys want to take them to places with few people, they usually feel alert and rejecting.

Because unlike boys, girls are often taught many concepts of protecting themselves as they grow up.

If a girl is willing to go to a place with few people with you, it means that you basically have a chance.

Even if she doesn't like you, she trusts you very much and has no wariness towards you. No matter which angle you interpret it from, it's good.

Soon, they walked towards a bus.

"Want a ride?"

“Although the stream is six kilometers long, it is even longer if you walk along the road, so it is better to take a bus directly to each station.”

Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded and took her into the car.

There were already some passengers on the bus, including Japanese and some foreigners.

As they arrived, everyone looked over and paid attention.

Whether it is Kurosawa Hikaru or Ninomiya Chizuru, their looks are outstanding. The key is that they are very elegant and have a strong presence, making it difficult not to notice them.

"Artist?"

"Probably not. I didn't see any camera."

There were even boys who thought Chizuru Ninomiya was too pretty and determined that they were celebrities, but this was quickly denied by their girlfriends who were traveling with them.

There were many empty seats in the car. Kurosawa Mitsuru found an empty spot and let her sit inside before sitting next to her.

The seats were not very far apart, so the two people sat very close to each other and didn't speak.

Not long after, the bus departed.

Along the way, Ninomiya Chizuru couldn't help looking at the scenery outside the window because it was her first time to this place and she hadn't read any guide.
