Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 276 273. A new life and the final obstacle
Walking into the familiar campus, Xiaojing looked at the familiar classes and classmates, but felt a completely different emotion in his heart than before.

The school days before meeting Brother Cheng were gloomy. Ever since she entered school, she had been influenced by that counselor, which turned her shy character into a "social fear".

She unknowingly became afraid of "others" and no longer dared to look directly at others or face others. She even gradually lost the ability to communicate with others.

She couldn't remember how long it had been... without looking up at this classroom, this school, or even her classmates.

So when she returned to this familiar place again today, and finally looked at everything with the courage to return, she felt that everything was extremely strange... extremely fresh, extremely novel.

Yes, she once lost the courage to see, observe, and understand. How cowardly am I to give up my personal courage because of a few words from a counselor I don’t even know?

At this time, there was still some time before class started, and the students in the classroom were chatting in twos and threes.

Of course, no one would take the initiative to talk to Xiao Jing. Because the students' impression of her is probably that of an "international student with a dull personality and poor communication skills."

"Excuse me, Keiko-san." A female classmate wearing glasses walked to her desk, holding a stack of homework books in her arms:

"Well, please give me your summer homework, and I will submit it all in one go."

This is their squad leader. Xiao Jing remembers that her last name is Sena. Sena is a well-connected girl with good personality and studies. She is also competent in her job as class monitor. Moreover, she has no prejudice against international students. She has repeatedly talked to Xiao Jing, trying to help her integrate into the class group.

However, at that time, Xiaojing had been completely led into the abyss by the counselor. He did not dare to accept the kindness of others and was unable to communicate with others. Even Class Leader Sena's friendly words frightened her.

Monitor Sena tried to communicate with Xiaojing several times, but all she received was Xiaojing's avoidant gaze and wordless silence. In the end, even a good kid like monitor Sena gave up on Xiaojing and would only speak a few words to her when she was needed to cooperate with class work.

But today, Xiao Jing clenched his fist slightly and took the initiative to make eye contact with monitor Sena.

She was actually well aware of Monitor Sena's kindness towards her, and she felt very guilty towards Monitor Sena because of this.

But Brother Cheng told her that the past does not mean everything, the most important thing is to create a future.

Monitor Sena is a person worthy of being friends. Xiao Jing has always wanted to have a good chat with Monitor Sena and tell her that he is very grateful to her and has never disliked her or disliked her.

But now, she is no longer afraid of "others".

"This is homework, please check it." Xiao Jing generously folded the homework and handed it to monitor Sena.

"It's all here, thank you." Monitor Sena checked and confirmed that the number of homework books was OK before preparing to leave.

Xiao Jing thought for a while and asked again: "How are you doing during the summer vacation, monitor?"

"Hey!" When he was suddenly spoken to, squad leader Sena was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but start to look at Xiaojing.

Compared with before, Xiao Jing's aura of being closed to strangers disappeared, his temperament became more down-to-earth and generous, and his eyes reflected clarity and confidence.

Although Squad Leader Sena could vaguely notice that Xiao Jing was just barely maintaining this "confidence" state and was still very timid inside, he was still a completely different person after such a big change.

After hesitating for a moment, class monitor Sena answered seriously: "Not bad~ In August, I went to Kyoto to participate in a competition with my classmates from the instrumental department. Although I didn't get a good place in the end, I was very happy. Well, what about you, Xiaojing?"

"In my opinion, it shouldn't be as exciting as the squad leader." Xiao Jing pursed her lips and smiled, trying to control her breathing so that she could communicate smoothly: "But I have made great friends, and we have done a lot of meaningful things together. Had a great time.”

"That's great." Squad Leader Sena also narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Keiko, I feel that you are more cheerful than before."

"Of course, that's all thanks to the help of my friends." Xiao Guang nodded and said: "In short, I have to ask class monitor Sena to take care of me in the new semester. I am very happy to continue to be my classmate."

As soon as the words came out, Xiao Jing blushed slightly and felt ashamed.

It seemed like she was using too much force and speaking too harshly, she thought worriedly.

Monitor Sena looked very moved and smiled even brighter: "Well, if you need any help, just come and bother me. After all, I am the monitor~"

After a few simple chats, monitor Sena left with his homework book in his arms.

"Fortunately, I did it. I hope I can keep it up in the future." Xiao Jing couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as you continue, you won't let Brother Cheng down, right?"

In the future, she must overcome her fear no matter what and be brave enough to communicate with others. Because this courage is the best gift Kyushu Cheng gave her, and she definitely doesn't want to give it up.

But there was still a hurdle in Xiaojing's heart, like a dam blocking the flow of water. It also hindered her progress, making her feel scared from the bottom of her heart, and even her heart beat faster and faster.

As Brother Cheng said, if you want to cross this hurdle, today’s noon is the decisive moment.

Soon, the class bell rang. First was the class meeting. The campus radio broadcast the new semester mobilization speeches of outstanding student representatives, and then the bells rang for the start and end of class in turn.

"."

"Jingle Bell--!"

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the lunch break bell rang, followed by the lazy noise of students.

thump--!
Xiaojing's heart also beat heavily and dullly again.

She took a deep breath and sent a text message to Kyushu Cheng: "Brother Cheng, the time appointed by the counselor and I is coming soon."

【Coming soon. 】After a moment, Kyushu Cheng gave a reply.

It was time for me to set off, but I was still worried. No, there was nothing to be afraid of. Xiao Jing stood up from his seat and left the classroom.

The time arranged by the counselor for her was the first half of the lunch break. She had to go there immediately when the lunch break bell rang. There should also be meetings with other students arranged for the second half of the lunch break.

Across the corridor, Xiao Jing came to the counselor's guidance room.

At the same time, Jiuzhou Cheng also happened to come out from nowhere: "Xiao Jing, is this right here?"

Kyushu Cheng has been staying in this Xingguangkan Academy this morning. He was not wearing a school uniform and did not have a student ID card. Once he was suspected and questioned by school personnel, he would be discovered and then expelled from the school.

He can still appear here, obviously hiding well.

"Brother Cheng, you are here, have you not encountered any trouble in our school?" Xiao Jing asked in a low voice.

"It's okay. It's better to say that this school is very wary of strangers. I don't even need to pretend." Jiuzhou Cheng took out his mobile phone and seemed to be flipping through it to check something: "I've finished all the things I wanted to do. Are you ready to see the counselor?"

"Yeah" Xiao Dingding nodded, and his heart sank again.

Even though I was just having a normal conversation with the counselor, I felt like I had to face the final boss of the game head-on.

"Don't be nervous, it's just an ordinary conversation." Jiuzhou Cheng patted Xiaojing's shoulder and saw her anxiety:

"Of course I understand you. It is indeed very difficult for you to suddenly resist an elder who has caused a psychological shadow on you."

Xiao Jing looked at him uneasily: "But, Brother Cheng will support me, I've agreed."

"Of course, we have already agreed." Jiuzhou Cheng took out a recording pen from his pocket, quietly put it into Xiao Jing's hand, and ordered:

"You open it before entering in a moment and stuff it into your pocket. I will listen at the door and break in as soon as there is any situation."

"Are you going to reach this point?" Xiao Jing was surprised, thinking that this was going to turn into a spy movie?

"Be prepared, trust me." Jiuzhou Cheng responded with a mysterious look.

"Well" Xiao Jing put the recorder into his pocket and pursed his lips: "Then I'm going in. I'll do my best."

After that, she walked towards the office with a wandering gaze and unsteady steps.

"Xiao Jing, there is one more thing." Jiuzhou Cheng called her again.

"Huh?" Xiao Jing paused.

"I have said this to you before, and I believe this sentence applies to everyone." Jiuzhou Cheng put his hands on his hips and once again showed his gentle smile like the sun:

"Remember, no matter where you come from, who you are or who you are, you should be proud of who you are. Only if you are proud of yourself, others will be proud of you."

"As for those cowards who are ashamed of themselves and want to persuade others to have the same low self-esteem as them, you don't have to pay attention to them. Because they will only be stuck where they are, and you will definitely be able to go further."

"Brother Cheng." Xiao Jing's eyes suddenly flickered with a faint light, his heart felt warm, and his little fists couldn't help but clenched a little:
"Thank you, really~ I will keep it in my heart."

She showed a sweet smile to Kyushu Cheng and walked into the office resolutely.
