"It's like a comic, not bad..." - Time flies like a shuttle, and the time flies by. In the blink of an eye, it was three days later. Volume 25: Chapter Chapter A Woman Who Is Too Heavy The thin clouds seemed to be melted by the rising sun, and the early morning sky was a deep blue. At 6:30 in the morning, Ming Hai left the apartment at the fixed time and walked towards the station. There were few pedestrians on the street, the green plants cast fine shadows, and the faint light of dewdrops flickered on the tender tips of the flowers. Along the way, he was looking around, rubbing the corners of his mouth thoughtfully from time to time, as if he was looking for something that should have appeared but did not. After about five minutes he muttered:
"No today..." Dengdengdeng- As if answering his words, as a burst of light music sounded, the door of a convenience store not far away slowly opened, and a gentle girl in a dark green school uniform walked out. She was holding a cup of hot American coffee in her hand and had just walked out of the convenience store when she inadvertently tilted her head and happened to meet his eyes, whose expressions suddenly became subtle. Immediately, she smiled and spoke in a sweet voice: "Good morning, Narumi-san~" She walked up to him very naturally, said hello, and then followed him towards the station as if nothing had happened. "…Good morning, Nagasaki-san." Ming Hai felt so speechless that he wanted to laugh. He couldn't help but twitch his lips: "I thought you wouldn't show up today. I didn't expect you to ambush me here... I shouldn't have kept you waiting for long, right?" "Hey~ What are you talking about?" With a gentle and innocent smile, Nagasaki Suze said in a nonchalant manner, "We must have met by chance, right? I didn't expect to run into Ming Hai classmate when I went to the convenience store to buy breakfast~" Hearing her tone that seemed genuinely surprised, Narumi nodded in agreement. "Yes, the day before yesterday was in the elevator, yesterday was in the lobby on the first floor, and today was in the convenience store... these were indeed all chance encounters. So, where are you planning to meet me 'by chance' tomorrow?" "Hmm~" With her fingers against her soft cheek, Nagasaki Suyo tilted her head slightly and actually started to think. "How's the station?" "Too far." "In front of the park?" "Are you going to feed the pigeons there? You might as well just block my door." "Isn't this a bad idea? I don't want to be considered such a heavy woman..."
"No, it's heavy enough, okay?" Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but chuckle, and her small hands tucked her brown hair behind her delicate ears. She lowered her eyes slightly and watched the footsteps that were gradually parallel to his. From falling behind on the first day, to being ahead on the second day, to moving forward side by side now. ...No one knows how much courage she mustered to achieve the reassuring situation she has today. She was thick-skinned, courageous, and abandoned her reserve - she decided not to be a good child. She worried about being disliked by him every day, and couldn't help but take advantage of his gentleness every day. "...I'm sorry, are you scared?" she asked in a low voice. Holding the hot American-style fingers, I unconsciously gradually applied more force. "What else? This is the first time I've been targeted like this. It's like an idol meeting a sasaeng fan." Putting away his polite smile, Ming Hai said unhappily, "Tomorrow I will deliberately take the same elevator with you. The day after tomorrow I will wait for you to leave downstairs. The day after tomorrow I will deliberately wait for you to pass by the convenience store, and then I will come out and pretend to meet you by chance and go to school together... If it's you, don't you think it's scary?" Nagasaki Suyo was slightly stunned, and her mind was not able to wrap around for a moment. She subconsciously asked back: "Can't we just make an appointment to go to school together? Why go to so much trouble..." "Yeah, so you're here?" "..." Nagasaki Suyo fell silent for an instant, and her expression, which always pretended to be calm, now showed a hint of guilt and embarrassment. Ming Hai sighed again, feeling like he was seeing children trying all kinds of ways to please adults during the Chinese New Year, but just not saying "Happy New Year, give me the red envelope". He said directly: "If you want to go to school together, just say so. There's no need to go through so much trouble." "But..." She sipped the bitter rim of her coffee cup and stammered, "I'm afraid you'll think it's too direct. If you're rejected, then... " Ming Hai rolled his eyes: "Why don't you try something smarter? What's the difference between doing this and speaking directly? It will make you look like a dank stalker, and people will be unable to help but stay away from you..." "Oooooh... a dank stalker..." Nagasaki Suyo lowered her head dejectedly. This was the first time she had been evaluated like this since she was a child, and she felt her self-esteem was severely hurt. But she couldn't refute it. After all, during these three days, she had indeed acted under uncontrollable impulse and performed all sorts of dark and heavy actions. "If you wanted to refuse, I would have told you directly on the first day." Ming Hai said nonchalantly: "Whether it's giving me food to taste or wanting to go to school together, as long as these things don't affect my daily life, I usually don't care...or rather, maybe I enjoy it a little bit?" "Really?" She looked much more cheerful and cast a hopeful gaze at him. "It won't cause you any trouble?" Ming Hai nodded in acknowledgement, not feeling embarrassed at all. ——For normal men, unless they are afraid of women, who can resist the temptation of a gentle and beautiful girl who accompanies them to school and cooks for them every day? Some things can be refused because you are afraid of trouble, but some things, if you don’t accept them, you are going against your instincts.
Unless Toyokawa Shoko suddenly appeared and clearly warned him not to go to school with girls, or else broke up with him...then he really had no choice but to say goodbye to the little joys in life. However, given Teacher Xiaoxiang's personality, this kind of thing is basically impossible to happen. "That's good..." Patting her chest and heaving a sigh of relief, Nagasaki Motoyo smiled at him apologetically, and finally dared to look up and meet his gaze, "Sorry, I worry too much. After all, if you are too direct, it always feels like..." "Like you have a crush on me." He said this calmly, and the girl's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't dare to show any unusual reaction. "Don't worry, I understand your feelings. Without your family by your side, you want to find a friend to relieve your loneliness, to talk to someone you can see anytime... This feeling is perfectly normal." Ming Hai looked into her eyes and always felt that in some ways, she was very similar to Teacher Xiao Xiang, but also fundamentally different. Perhaps because of this, he couldn't help but tease: "There's no need to be timid. Aren't you only fifteen years old? If you don't dare to be willful now, you will become a social animal when you grow up." "That……" Nagasaki Suyo raised her coffee cup and hid the slightly flushed lower half of her face behind it. Only her pair of moist and timid eyes like a deer were looking at him tentatively. The voice was very soft, but full of heart: "Tomorrow, can I still go to school with you, let you taste the food, and chat with you?" “That’s a lot to ask…” He sighed deliberately, but when Nagasaki Suyo subconsciously stopped nervously, he smiled slightly. "That's no problem though. I'm free anyway." "..." Nagasaki Suyo slowly opened her eyes. My heartbeat and the world in front of me seemed to slow down at this moment. ——Ahh, that smile again. Just like that night, I was still frightened after being robbed, but was saved by such a plain and gentle smile. And how did you answer at that time? Thank you? No, she didn't want to use this sentence to name the warmth overflowing from her chest. After a moment of silence, Nagasaki Suyo suddenly spoke: "Mr. Narumi, from now on, can you just call me by my name?" "Hmm? That's no problem." Ming Hai didn't think much about it and said directly, "Su Shi." "I'm here, Narumi." She smiled, her eyes clear and gentle, no longer suppressing her fixed steps, but gently leaned over, her voice softly close to his ear. "Then I'll be looking forward to your guidance."
- Now that the pure love element is satisfied, it’s time for something exciting. Volume 26: Chapter Chapter [CryCHIC] Formation The tram creaked along the light rail, passing through the increasingly lively streets, and the passengers' bodies swayed left and right. The two of them held the rings, watching the scenery slowly receding outside while chatting about unimportant daily topics. "Music Festival?" "Yes, it's held at Tsuki no Mori school, and the wind band I'm a member of is also on stage today." Nagasaki Suyo said this with some regret, raising her eyes from time to time to look at his slender fingers with distinct joints hooked on the rings, then looking away with satisfaction. "But most of the school activities in Tsuki no Mori are not open to outsiders, even to the frequent Meiwa Middle School... So, I probably can't invite you to watch the performance." Ming Hai shook his head: "It's okay, I'm not really interested." Nagasaki Suyo blinked. “Even if I’m a double bass player?” "You're a double bass all the same." "..." The girl couldn't help but narrow her eyes, and stared at his profile with her eyes turning cold in an instant, trying to force him to take back his words. ——For some reason, the disguise of being a good child shattered very quickly in front of him, and sometimes I felt like I was no longer myself. Seeing that her glare could not penetrate that thick face, Nagasaki Suyo suddenly sighed, bit her lip slightly, lowered her head and muttered to herself with both grievance and pity: "Ah~ What a heartless man! I spent a lot of time practicing my instrument. I even broke my fingers several times..." Then he quietly looked away. Ming Hai acted as if he didn't hear anything and still had that irritatingly indifferent expression on his face. He didn't even look at her, and it was obvious that he was not interested in this hypocritical performance. —A heartless fellow! She wrinkled her nose and tried to put on a sulky expression, but she just chuckled and laughed spinelessly, and she couldn't retract the curve of her mouth no matter what she did. In the end, I could only shrug helplessly. Forget it! Who made him respond to everything he said with a polite smile a few days ago? Being able to have such a change is at least a good thing - just like who I am now. Soon, the train stopped in front of the Moon Forest. In front of the tall and solemn school gate, graceful girls wearing the same uniforms can be seen everywhere, and elegant and gentle greetings can be heard from time to time, as if even the air has become elegant and fresh. "Then...see you tonight, Narumi."
After whispering to him, Nagasaki Suyo gently waved her hand, straightened her back, and walked slowly off the tram with a dignified manner. "Gui An~" That gentle and kind smile returned to her face, and she responded to every peer and senior who greeted her and whom she had to greet. The tram started moving again and her figure gradually disappeared behind the tracks. "It's really not easy..."
