It started with being hated by the girl in the band

Otherwise, when everyone is enjoying their summer vacation happily, they will have to come to school to take make-up classes and make-up exams miserably... This kind of thing is simply an excessive trouble for youth.

Takamatsu Deng, who was sitting closest to the front of the three, looked as serious as ever, taking notes silently.

"…Speaking of Galileo, we have to mention that Galileo was the first to actually observe Neptune with a telescope. Neptune is the first distant planet discovered by humans through mathematical calculations and predictions of physical laws…"

The world history teacher was a very talkative, tall and thin middle-aged man with a short mustache on his chin.

However, one of the prices for being talkative is that teachers often go off topic and talk about other things. Of course, students also like such teachers.

For other students, this knowledge may be quite new, but for Gao Songdeng, it is already very familiar.

But today is different. Xiao Deng paused with his pen, and a rather unreasonable question suddenly popped up in his mind.

Will the stars get lost?

There are stars that can be predicted, and of course there are also stars in the universe that are difficult to observe or even impossible to predict specifically because they have separated from their parent stars. These are the so-called [interstellar planets] or [wandering planets].

...So, are these stars that have been left far behind by their parent stars considered lost?

Suddenly, as if affected by gravity, Gao Songdeng's vision became a little confused, and he subconsciously looked out the window. The sun was releasing powerful gravity and light and heat, and was extremely dazzling even on a cloudy day.

What would happen if the Earth moved away from the Sun?

A very strange question arose in my mind, and it kept growing bigger and bigger.

Are there such wandering, lost stars in the solar system, but they have been lost for so long that they have never been considered to be part of the solar system?

Even if everyone saw her again, they wouldn't know.

Do these silent stars have anything they want to say?

Is it the same as yourself?

By the time I came to my senses, the lunch break bell had already rung.

The notebook that was originally used to take notes is now filled with all kinds of fragmented words that seem completely unrelated.

【Lost】, 【Wandering】, 【Lonely】.

"...Xiao Deng, are you okay?"

Chihaya Aine blinked and looked at Takamatsu Deng in front of her, who had a slightly frowned brow, his palms pressed tightly against his chest, looking sad and absent-minded, and waved her hand with some concern.

"...No, it's okay."

Xiaodeng slowly came back to his senses, and somewhat dazedly let go of the school uniform that was wrinkled by himself on his chest. He just pursed his lips in silence and sat down in his seat with his head down.

...Because faith always finds a way, so what is the answer to faith?

Thinking of this, Gao Songdeng suddenly turned around and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki behind him.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki:?

Unlike Takamatsu Deng who was in a heavy mood, Nakagawa Nobuyuki was currently sitting sideways, holding the lunch box in one hand and eating lunch with chopsticks in the other. He looked relaxed while having lunch and had never expected that Takamatsu Deng in front of him would suddenly turn around and look at him.

Seeing Xiaodeng looking at him seriously with her pink lips slightly open, who obviously had something important to ask, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was eating heartily, felt confused. He could only put down his chopsticks and look back with a confused look on his face.

There is an anecdote in history called "Zhou Gong Tu Bu", which probably means that in order to recruit talents during meals, Zhou Gong Ji Dan hurriedly spit out the food in his mouth several times in a hurry to receive guests.

...To be honest, it still sounds a bit disgusting today.

"Mr. Xin..."

Gao Songdeng in front of him lowered his beautiful eyebrows and looked at Zhonghe Xin with some sadness.

Although he didn't know why Xiao Deng suddenly became so dejected, the situation did not allow it, so Nakagawa Nobuyuki just put down his chopsticks and waited quietly for Takamatsu Deng to ask the troubling questions.

"...Lost stars, is there a way to find the way?"

As he asked, Gao Songdeng timidly raised his eyes with some expectation and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of him.

……What is the problem?

Although Nakagawa Nobuyuki's expression remained calm, his heart had completely frozen at this moment. The most important thing was, looking at Takamatsu Deng's expectant and serious look in front of him, he couldn't just fool him.

After exchanging glances with Chihaya Aine who looked worried, Nakagawa Nobuyuki's brain began to work rapidly.

[Lost Star]...What on earth are you referring to?

What Nakagawa Nobuyuki knows is that when many celestial bodies are moving, their trajectories observed on Earth become very strange.

For example, when observing the movement of Mars on Earth, we can basically divide the movement of Mars into three stages, namely, forward, stationary, and reverse.

From west to east is forward, and from east to west is reverse. Did Xiaodeng think of this as [getting lost]?

Plus, today is Tuesday, which happens to be Fire Day... Could it be that [Lost Star] refers to whether Mars can return to its original position?

The more Nakagawa Nobuyuki thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. After all, the level of Xiao Deng-san's electric waves... was really hard to guess what he was thinking.

With this thought in mind, Nakagawa Nobuyuki gritted his teeth and pretended to be calm: "No matter how far a lost star drifts, there will always be a star like the sun to attract it and find its way back."

Gao Songdeng in front of him was still worried, and her pink lips opened slightly: "But what if... I can't see it?"

What if I can’t see it?

What if a star like the Sun fails to see and capture a lost "wandering planet" like this?

Nakagawa Nobuyuki was stunned, and his brain began to work hard and rapidly again.

Can't see it, does it mean it's cloudy today? Then it's really unlikely to see Mars...

Zhonghe Xin groaned, and the valuable experience of finding something to talk about in the customer service company helped him again. He said: "Even if I can't see it, as long as it is still floating in the universe, I will definitely be able to see it one day."

Even if it cannot be seen on a cloudy day, as long as Mars is not destroyed for some reason such as [being occupied by alien demons from the portal on Phobos], it can be observed when the weather gets better.

Although the two people were talking about completely different things, their conversations and radio waves matched perfectly... I have to say it was a very coincidental thing.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki is now extremely grateful to himself for working in various places every day... Fortunately, when he worked in the planetarium before, he had worked in many related positions, so he could still barely read the radio waves.

...Wait, I feel like the story is developing like that of "Slumdog Millionaire", where people answer questions based on their own life experiences...It's a pity that Xiaodeng won't give himself a bonus.

When Takamatsu Deng heard Nakagawa Nobuyuki's answer, he was dazed and fell into a world of thought.

Floating in the universe, will we meet eventually?

...That's a rather cunning and over-the-top answer.

Looking at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was talking to Chihaya Aine beside him, illuminated by the sunlight outside the window, Takamatsu Deng blinked.

...Let's go to the planetarium tonight. What do the stars floating in the universe want to say? Why not just ask them directly?

Squinting his eyes and gazing at the dazzling sun outside the window that was emitting a strong gravitational force and spreading its brilliance, Gao Songdeng made a secret decision in his heart.

Chapter 91: Mu... going back to the band?

Moon Forest, club activity time.

Nagasaki Suyo put her slender hands behind her back, holding a handbag in a very abrupt manner. A gentle smile appeared on her pretty face as she took light steps and approached Wakaba Mutsu who was watering the cucumbers.

"Xiao Mu, why didn't you reply to my message yesterday? Were you busy with something?"

Ruoye Mu, with a calm expression, did not say anything. He just stood there quietly, with his thin lips slightly parted, and answered calmly as always: "...I was practicing ballet last night."

...However, I was also very curious about what kind of pictures I sent to Xiaoxiang that made him suddenly find me and ask me to explain to Xiaoxiang?

However, Ruo Yemu just kept this question in his heart.

"Then there's nothing we can do. It's really unfortunate."

Nagasaki Suyo smiled gently, and with the fingers of her other hand she gently rolled up the ends of her hair that fell beside her face, her gaze still fixed on the small cucumber seedling in front of her that still had small water droplets hanging on it.

As if he felt that there was something strange about Nagasaki Suyo beside him, Ruo Yemu gently moved his gaze and looked at Nagasaki Suyo beside him with some concern.

"...Are you okay?"

Seeing Wakaba Mu's worried eyes looking at her, Nagasaki Suoshi was stunned for a moment, then she realized that Mu probably saw that she seemed to be in a good mood and thought that she was a little abnormal.

Come to think of it, misunderstandings are not a very happy thing.

Suddenly, Nagasaki Motoyo looked back at Wakaba Mutsuki who was frowning in front of her with a bit of laughter and tears. Fearing that it would cause a bigger misunderstanding, she quickly said: "It's okay... Thanks to Nakagawa, Nakagawa has already..."

"What's wrong with Xin-san?"

Suddenly, Ruo Yemu paused, and the crystal silver line that was originally slanting out from the shower head suddenly broke, turning into a few water droplets hanging on the shower head, and were pulled to the terrazzo floor by gravity.

"Eh?"

As if she did not expect Wakaba Mutsu to interrupt her suddenly, Nagasaki Suyo's smile froze. She looked at Wakaba Mutsu, who was holding the showerhead in both hands, pursed his lips, and looking at her seriously.

"...Nakagawa-san...Nakagawa-san explained it to Xiaoxiang for me - Xiaomu is curious about this?"

After a while, Nagasaki Suyo adjusted her smile which had just become a little dry, and looked at Wakaba Mutsu in front of her with some surprise, who seemed to be particularly concerned about this matter.

"……fine."

After a slight response, Ruo Yemu shook his head as if relieved, shifted his gaze away again, and started watering the cucumber in front of him.

Because it has been sunny for several days recently, the soil is a little dry.

At this time, you must not water too quickly, otherwise it will cause water to accumulate...

But don't soak the cucumbers too bad.

There was a hint of tenderness in Ruoye Mu's eyes.

"Anyway, if Xiaomu is free this afternoon, why don't we go to RiNG together? Let's meet everyone again?"

The corners of Nagasaki Suyo's mouth curled up, as if she had thought of something worth looking forward to, and her eyes brightened.

Although I don't expect Xiao Mu to return to the band right now...but I just want Xiao Mu to see that there is still an empty guitar position for her in the band.

"..."

Ruoye Mu pursed his lips lightly, lowered his eyebrows, and didn't seem to want to say anything.

However, Nagasaki Motoyo knew clearly that although Xiaomu looked cold, he was actually just thinking about something.

"Meow~"

Suddenly, an untimely cat cry suddenly appeared between the two of them.

Suddenly, the relaxed Xiangzi that Nagasaki Suye had just shown disappeared, and instead he looked around in panic. After confirming that there were no teachers wandering around, he sat on a bench beside him and hurriedly opened the canvas bag in his hand.

"……cat?"

Wakaba Mutsu gently put down the shower head and looked at Nagasaki Suyo, who suddenly became panicked, with a calm yet strange look.

Why bring a cat to school?

"It's the kitten that Nakagawa and I found earlier... It was injured, so we're going to take it to... a rescue station today."

Nagasaki Suyo sat on a bench nearby, quietly reaching into her bag to comfort Xiaoju, who was quite uncomfortable with the strange environment. Her eyes showed a genuine and tender look like ripples on the water.

Send him to a shelter... that's a lie.

To be honest, after just one night's companionship, Nagasaki Suyo was already reluctant to part with this adorably clumsy three-legged cat that she brought home with Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

Even this morning when she came to school, because Xiaoju kept circling around her feet, as if she was reluctant to leave her, Nagasaki Suoshi's heart softened and she impulsively put Xiaoju into her schoolbag.

Because... this little Ju reminds me of myself when I was a kid, holding on to my mother and not wanting her to leave.

Although this is actually quite dangerous, because just like Zhonghe reminded himself, Xiaoju has probably never received any vaccinations or something like that. If he gets caught or bitten, he actually needs to get vaccinated...

However, when I see this clumsy and pitiful little figure, and look into those lake blue eyes that are the same as mine... I just can't bear to be cruel.

"…What about RiNG?"

Ruoye Mu gently put down the shower head in his hand, blinked, looked at Nagasaki Suyo who was gently soothing the kitten, and suddenly caught the flaw in Nagasaki Suyo's words.

There is no volunteer rescue station near RiNG.

“Eh… that…”

Her movements froze, as if her secrets had been exposed suddenly. Nagasaki Suyo subconsciously pinched her fingers, a little panicked.

I really haven't thought about this matter... Since I have invited Xiaomu to RiNG, if I have other plans, doesn't it seem a bit insincere?

"Well... Actually, I was going to go with Nakagawa to vaccinate Xiaoju..."

Let’s find a reason to pull Zhonghe out first. Anyway... I have to let Xiaomu know that I really want to get her back to the band.

"Is Xin-san going too?"

Wakaba Mutsu suddenly stopped and turned to look at Nagasaki Suyo who had just found an excuse. Although his expression did not change much, his voice became brighter.
