It started with being hated by the girl in the band

Wait until the club activity in the afternoon, then practice guitar well.

Chihaya Aine thought so.

Chapter 74: Xiaoxiang cries.

Of course summer vacation is good, this is something that every student recognizes.

But just like thousands of ancient stories, Tang Monk and his disciples went through 81 difficulties before they obtained the true scriptures, and Jason got the Golden Fleece only after he found a way to deal with the divine bull and the poisonous dragon.

How can we have a good summer vacation without exams?

Among the nearby schools, Yuqiu has a relatively high average deviation value, and it also specially recruits students with excellent academic performance to study for free.

Not only that, there are several very good scholarships available to students who rank high in the exams.

Because it is such a school, the examinations are probably the most formal and complete among the nearby schools. If you fail, you have to take a make-up exam during the holidays... Of course, it is not a good thing, especially for Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who has taken a year off and almost completely lost his schoolwork.

Although Nakagawa Nobuyuki's grades in junior high school were quite good, even top-notch, but that was himself at that time after all. Now that he has been away from school for so long, can he really pick it up again?

Even if it was to avoid having to make up lessons during the holidays, Nakagawa Nobuyuki felt that he should listen carefully.

However, when Nakagawa Nobuyuki thought of this sentence again in his sleep, the lunch bell had already rung.

"…Good afternoon, Nakagawa-san."

Seeing Nakagawa Nobuyuki finally getting up with sleepy eyes, Xiaodeng, who was sitting next to Aine's desk, was holding a lunch box with a slightly concealed curve at the corner of her mouth.

"...Oh, Xinxin is up?"

It seems that the little pink-haired girl has thought things through now. The sadness between her brows has faded a lot, and she is now looking at him with a funny face.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki hid his hand wrapped in a Band-Aid and rubbed his eyes with his other hand. He always felt that the two people looked at him in a strange way, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Xinxin is sleeping soundly, isn't she?"

At this time, Chihaya Aine was holding up her little face, looking at Nakagawa Nobuyuki with a somewhat teasing smile on his face.

"…Just now, he was snoring quietly…"

After saying that, Gao Songdeng secretly glanced at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, and after confirming that Nakagawa Nobuyuki was not angry or anything, he chuckled with relief.

"Laugh, laugh...I'm so sleepy this morning...what's wrong?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki waved his hand nonchalantly, complaining to himself softly as he took out his lunch box from the hole in the table, then turned around and leaned on Chihaya Aine's table.

I have to think of a way to make up for the missed lessons. At least I can’t go to school during the summer vacation and waste my time working.

Thinking of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at Chihaya Aine and Kodama who were still laughing secretly, and asked them about some things related to the exam.

The three of them leaned on the same small desk, chatting and eating their lunch boxes.

"Absolutely, they are definitely dating..."

“Nakagawa-san, you actually said to both Tomo-san and Aine-san…”

In the class, everyone is still curious about the relationship between the three.

The campus on Nakagawa Nobuyuki's side is so youthful, but it's completely different on Toyokawa Shoko's side.

It is still the stairwell leading to the rooftop.

However, this time there were no two people chatting carefreely, but only Toyokawa Shoko was leaning on the handrail alone.

Without saying a word, he ate the cold convenience store rice balls in small bites.

There were several Band-Aids wrapped around Shoko Toyokawa's fair little hands as she silently held the rice ball.

This was the wound I accidentally cut myself when I was picking up the broken glass on the tatami.

Set the time back to the weekend.

Because the house was in such a state, Toyokawa Shoko spent the entire weekend busy cleaning and clearing up the mess that was like a rebellious army passing through.

Not only that, you also have to take time out to go to work where you work, otherwise you will definitely be fired or have your salary deducted.

When cleaning the house, some things have to be thrown away, some things need to be taken away and cleaned, and some things are difficult to repair, such as a sofa that has been cut and a cabinet that has been pulled down.

By the time Toyokawa Shoko had finally tidied the house up to a point where it was almost presentable, it was already Sunday evening.

Maybe he felt guilty, or maybe he was still hungover, but my idiot dad locked himself in his room for the entire weekend and didn't show any sign of coming out.

Likewise, he naturally didn't help Xiangzi at all... However, perhaps not coming out would be the real help.

Last night, Toyokawa Shoko could only cover herself with her clothes, curl up on the tatami by the window, use her schoolbag as a pillow, and barely slept that night.

Because the only clean bedding was pulled to his room by his bastard father when he went out to work.

Although it was such a sleeping environment, Toyokawa Shoko was so tired after being busy for two whole days that she closed her eyes the moment she touched the "pillow".

But as soon as I closed my eyes, the scene of that night at the Zhonghe rental house kept lingering in front of my eyes and could not be shaken off.

When Zhonghe picked the blisters for himself, when he disinfected himself, when he bought a toothbrush and a cup for himself...

Even the barbecue bento they ate together and every meaningless topic they talked about together appeared so clearly in his mind.

But, relying on Zhonghe so weakly... is not allowed... Yes, it is not allowed.

I thought so in my heart, but at night, I had a dream that was so happy that I wanted to cry.

It was not until the next morning, when the alarm rang for the third time, that Toyokawa Shoko woke up from her beautiful and somewhat unreal dream.

Not to mention making bento or something, even if you go out and take the train right away, if there is any unexpected delay, you may be late.

So, without even having time to wipe away her tears, Shoko Toyokawa only had time to buy two simplest seaweed rice balls at a convenience store and hurried to school.

Time returns to the present.

In other words, the rice ball that Fengchuan is eating in small bites is exactly his breakfast and lunch.

The rice ball was not big, and Xiangzi’s appetite was about the same, so he was just not hungry after eating one.

At this moment, looking at the second nori rice ball still standing in the environmentally friendly plate, Xiangzi couldn't help but look to the other side of the stairs subconsciously.

But nothing appeared, no one came.

She bit her thin lips, feeling somewhat disgusted with herself for being so dispirited for some unknown reason.

...Send a message to Zhonghe.

However, as soon as I opened the chat interface with him, I started to feel a little strange.

I wanted to tell him about the grievances I suffered over the weekend.

I want to put my head in his arms.

I want to hear him comforting me softly.

"It's okay, Toyokawa."

Want to hear words like this.

Such thoughts even scared himself. Xiangzi took a deep breath and tried hard to drive out all the weak and terrible thoughts in his mind.

With a ruthless heart, I deleted all the long strings of text in the chat box.

After doing all this, Toyokawa Shoko, who was a little distraught, slowly sat down with her knees together and gently leaned her head on the stair railing on the side.

...Perhaps the tears from this morning had not yet dried, a crystal clear pearl shattered into countless petals on the ground.

Chapter 75: Light: ...Believe it.

The afternoon club activities time is coming soon.

Originally, Nakagawa Nobuyuki should have gone to work at this time, but for well-known reasons, Nakagawa Nobuyuki is still in an extremely free state at this point.

He sent an email to the store manager a few days ago, but the manager said that because the matter was a bit complicated, he might not be able to return to Tokyo in the near future.

Not only that, even Xingge sent a message saying that since the problem with Fanxing Circuit has not been found yet, there will probably be a power outage today.

...That's fine. Anyway, I have already found another part-time job.

Because Nakagawa Nobu usually goes to work at this time, Chihaya Aine also picked up her guitar early, said goodbye to Nakagawa Nobu, and went to practice guitar with Xiao Deng.

Before leaving, the pink-haired girl said to Nakagawa Shin in all seriousness: "Xinxin, you must come and watch the live show."

While packing his things, Nakagawa Nobuyuki edited a message and sent it to Nagasaki Motoyo, who was still his employer.

Fingers flicking.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki: "Nagasaki-san, are you still going to the cafe this afternoon?"

The message was replied quickly.

Nagasaki Suyo: "I'm sorry, Nakagawa-san..."

Nagasaki Suyo: "I have something to do this afternoon, so I will probably be late, is that okay?"

Nagasaki Suyo: "I'll send a message first when the time comes!"

Just by looking at the message sent by Nagasaki Motoyo, Nakagawa Shinto seemed to be able to hear Nagasaki Motoyo's sweet voice.

But then again... I probably have to go to RiNG to cover for Shiina in a couple of days, so maybe I will have to turn down the job at the cafe then.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki just sighed slightly and put the phone back into his pocket.

I'll talk to Nagasaki about this later, at least I'll finish today's work first.

It's just right. Since I'm not in a hurry to go to work, I can go check on Xiao Deng and Aine to see how their practice is going.

After carefully checking that he had not forgotten anything, Nakagawa Nobuyuki picked up his bag and left the classroom.

Astronomy Club Room.

“Aine…can you pass me the tape?”

Xiao Deng, who was standing on the table, turned around and asked softly to Chihaya Aine who was still flipping through the music score.

"Eh? Is that okay?"

Chihaya Aine, who was suddenly called, looked up and handed a piece of tape to Xiao Deng.

Looking at Xiao Deng standing on tiptoe to put up the poster, Chihaya Aine suddenly became curious.

"Isn't this a band poster? Does Xiao Deng like bands of this style?"

On the poster, in addition to the performance information, there is also a cursive "Roselia" that is quite eye-catching.

On the stage, there are several girls with very distinctive costumes.

...I always feel that they are the kind of band that would turn off the lights during band meetings, like villains.

However, it is really a very desirable feeling~ It would be great if I could appear on such a poster or something.

"…It's my senior, a band I like very much."

As he smoothed out the corners of the poster, Xiaodeng couldn't help but reveal a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

“…Ahahaha, because, because the band is pretty cool.”

Feeling that something bad was suddenly mentioned, the little pink-haired boy touched his hair awkwardly.

Still, I should continue to practice guitar well.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Is it okay to come visit?"

The person who came was Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was waiting to go to work.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki pushed open the door of the astronomy club with a relaxed look, and then saw Xiaodeng standing on the table at a glance.

...It is said that a wise man once said that the guy standing on the table is the leader of the Shamatte group, except for Mr. Keating.

I hope Xiao Deng wants to imitate the Dead Poets Society.

"...Takamatsu-san, it's dangerous to stand that high up."

"I was just putting up posters..."

After helping Xiaodeng down and standing on the ground, Nakagawa Nobuyuki turned around and sat on the sofa behind him with relief.
