My daily life in love is too contrary to my character.

"Oh, I'm the event support officer," Shiraishi Sawa first flashed the armband in his hand, then scratched his head sheepishly, "I'm hiding here from the teachers and taking a break."

"Oh."

The atmosphere became a little awkward, so Shiraishi Sawa asked some questions to lighten the mood.

"President, have you participated in any of the above sports?"

"No, I'm not very fit, and I don't like to move around, so I didn't participate. What about you, Shiraishi-kun?"

"I participated in the 1500m and 2000m."

I'll cheer you on tomorrow and the day after.

"Thank you, President."

"So, President, you haven't had anything to do these past few days?"

"some."

"What's going on? Are we dealing with an emergency at the sports festival?"

Suga Wulian shook her head, "I'll cheer you on these next two days."

"Hahahaha, President Suga, so you're quite humorous too." Shiraishi Sawa thought that Suga Kiri was saying this on purpose to lighten the mood between the two of them, and laughed to himself.

It wasn't awkward for Soga Kirei to keep a cold face, after all, that's just how the president is.

"Ah, Minister Oki called me over. The teacher has already left," Shiraishi Sawa said after glancing at the message on his phone. "Then I'll be going now, President. See you next time."

Soga Kirei nodded, watching Shiraishi Sawashu gradually walk away until he disappeared around the corner.

"The most important thing these past two days has been to cheer you on."

--

"What are you doing, Minister Oki?" Shiraishi Sawa asked, looking at Oki Taiichi's solemn expression.

"Shh! Don't talk, Miko is giving a speech, I need to listen carefully."

"I give up," Shiraishi Zexiu said, lying down on the audience seat. "Remember to call me if any teachers come; I'm going to take a nap."

Before Shiraishi Sawa could fall asleep, Shimizu Yoshiko finished speaking, and the alarm clock rang early, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.

"Hey, Shiraishi, where should we go for our next date? You and the president will be there too, so give me some suggestions. Don't suggest anything too expensive, I'm going to treat all three of you, and I can't afford anything too pricey."

"Minister Oki, please get one thing straight: I'm not a native of Tokyo. I've only been in Tokyo for a few months, and you, a native of Tokyo, are asking me to recommend places to visit?" Shiraishi Sawa retorted while lying down.

"But the only place I'm familiar with is the gym. If I take you guys to the gym, what will happen to the president and you? Miko and the president are such good friends, they'll definitely be angry with me for neglecting you two."

"You don't need to really think carefully about the consequences of going to the gym; you'd better just completely erase this option from your mind."

"Then give me a recommendation."

"Let's go see the cherry blossoms. I've heard so much about the cherry blossoms in Tokyo."

"But cherry blossoms bloom in April."

"I know, what I mean is if you're asking me, I suggest you wait until next April to see the cherry blossoms."

“Shiraishi, you can’t take advantage of my leniency to do whatever you want,” Taichi Oki sighed. “Forget it, we’ll think about it later. There’s no rush.”

This time, no teacher interrupted them, and the two of them sat there until three o'clock in the afternoon. With a burst of sincere applause from the playground, Shiraishi Zexiu knew that the mobilization meeting was over.

Taichi Oki calculated the time. "You've only talked for an hour and a half this year, which is an improvement. Shiraishi-kun, are you busy later? If not, come with me to set up the playground and help the sports club move some equipment and props."

“Minister, you just said, ‘I’ll take care of the mission,’” Shiraishi Sawa Hide said, mimicking the action that Oki Taichi had just made.

"I'm asking you this, having one more person will make the setup faster."

"Alright, alright, let's go." Shiraishi Zexiu sat up from the audience and stretched.

It's still a long time before I start working, and I don't have anything else to do, so I might as well go and help out.

With the help of the sports department, the organization department, and other people, the setup was completed very quickly, and it was only 3:30 PM by the time all the props were in place.

After saying goodbye to the others, Shiraishi Sawa returned to his class's training area on the playground to watch their training.

As for why it's 'them', it's because Shiraishi Sawa only watches cheerleading training.

As expected, with Takanashi's figure and looks, she stood in the center, at the very front.

At first, Takanashi Yuko's movements and dance moves were perfect, showing that she had put in a lot of hard work. However, after noticing Shiraishi Sawa's gaze, Takanashi Yuko became a little embarrassed.

In particular, Shiraishi Sawa's gaze was fixed solely on her, without even glancing at anyone else. Takanashi Yuko even felt that Shiraishi Sawa hadn't closed his eyes at all.

Because of this, Yuko Takanashi, who missed many beats and movements, finally couldn't help but come over:

"Shiraishi-kun, could you please stop staring at me during training?"

"You've finally spoken to me, Takanashi-san," Shiraishi Sawa looked at Takanashi Yuuko with a smile, not denying the intense gaze he had just given her.

I've kept you silent for so many days.

"I know I was wrong!" Gong Jiang bowed and stood up, saying with a helpless expression, "But please, Shiraishi-kun, don't say such flirtatious things in the future, okay? Why do I hear other classmates say that you are particularly aloof, but you are not at all."

"I'll try my best. As for being aloof, they only know my physical body. My inner self is only shown to you, Takanashi!"

Takanashi Yuuko's face flushed red again. "You just said those kinds of things, didn't you? I... I'm not talking to you anymore!"

"Let's go, Takanashi-kun. You can train well now. I won't bother you anymore." After teasing him, Shiraishi Sawah decided to make a quick getaway.

After watching Takagi Ryo's desperate sprint and group jump rope for a while, Shiraishi Sawa Hide felt that neither was as interesting as watching cheerleading.

But there's no way to back out now that I said I wouldn't watch it. If I change my mind, Takanashi Yuuko might really get angry, and then it would be a loss.

Feeling bored, Shiraishi Sawa decided to go to the supermarket earlier today to help Grandma Ueno with some chores and repay her for her money.

Although it's called early, we actually arrived in Ueno at 4:30, which is only half an hour earlier than usual.

Grandma Ueno was in charge of the cashier duties herself. After greeting Shiraishi Sawa, he and the store's full-time employees started organizing the shelves.

Arriving early is, in a sense, getting your work done ahead of time.

Chiyo arrived promptly at five o'clock. As usual, the two exchanged a few teasing words before starting their work.

There were unusually many people on Wednesday night. The two of us were busy until 7 p.m. before we went to the staff room for dinner.

"Shiraishi-kun, you have the sports festival tomorrow, right?"

Chiyo Ichiriki, who was putting her clothes back on, asked casually.

"Yeah, I'm running the 1500 meters tomorrow. I hope I can get in the top three."

While eating his boxed lunch, Shiraishi Zexiu looked up and replied, "Today's boxed lunches are all healthy foods that won't cause diarrhea."

"After two weeks of training, Shiraishi-kun, aren't you confident you can kill them?"

"Give me two months and I might be able to bite you to death. Right now, I'm still a puppy, unless you let me eat some fox meat now."

"I'll transform some fox meat for you when I become a spirit. I can't help it now; I'm still just a baby fox."

"Then Baby Fox shouldn't expect Baby Dog to take them down."

"But do your best tomorrow, Shiraishi-kun." Chiyo encouraged Shiraishi Sawa in a rare serious tone.

"I'll do my best. I'm going home now. Get some rest early tonight. Bye-bye, everyone."

When they returned to the apartment, Takanashi was still practicing cheerleading by herself. Seeing how serious she was, Shiraishi Sawa Hide decided not to disturb her.

"Don't worry about practicing, Takanashi. I'll stick to it and not watch you. I'll go straight to my room after I shower. Good luck tomorrow!"

"Thank you, Shiraishi-kun. Good luck tomorrow too!"

"mutual encouragement!"

True to his word, Shiraishi Sawa returned to his room after taking a shower.

"Good luck tomorrow!" came a message from Tokyo is so boring.

"I'll do my best! Time for bed, goodnight!"

"Good night."

Chapter 38 Effort Can Shine on the Field

As Shiraishi Sawah stepped out of his room, he found Takanashi Yuko sitting nervously on the sofa, holding her phone. Upon closer inspection, he saw that she was watching a cheerleading tutorial video.

The cheerleading competition was the first event this morning.

"Don't be nervous, Takanashi-kun. You jumped really well yesterday," Shiraishi Sawa thought for a moment and added, "until you realize I'm watching you. But don't worry, if this makes you nervous, I can just not watch during the actual competition."

"No, Shiraishi-kun," Takanashi Yuko said, her eyes still glued to her phone screen. "My main concern is that since I'm in the most prominent position, everyone has high expectations for me. If I make a mistake, it will greatly affect the class's grades, which will be very troubling for me. I want to focus on improving my skills."

"I will always believe in takoyaki! Stop watching and give your brain a rest."

"Thank you, Shiraishi-kun, but I'd like to take another look."

Shiraishizawa Hideki seemed unable to persuade Kotori Yuuko, so he went to the kitchen to find today's breakfast himself.

I found a rice ball that I just bought outside today. It must be because Yuko Takanashi chose not to make breakfast today in order to squeeze out time.

After finishing the rice ball in a few bites, Shiraishizawa Hide boiled a kettle of water. Although Japanese people usually drink tap water directly, Shiraishizawa Hide clearly hadn't changed this habit; warm water was his eternal faith.

When the two arrived at the classroom, it was already half full. Since it was the sports festival, wearing school uniforms was not mandatory, so most people except the athletes were wearing their own nice clothes.

Shiraishi Sawa was wearing a tracksuit with a windbreaker over it to keep warm, while Takanashi Yuko was wearing a cheerleading uniform, though she had also brought her tracksuit in a bag.

When Hashimoto Nana saw the two come in, she gave them athletes-only water and energy-boosting chocolates. By 8:30, the whole class had arrived, and under the leadership of the class monitor, they went downstairs to their seats in the stands on the playground.

"Go, Takanashi!"

Shiraishi Sawa encouraged Takanashi Yuko, who stood up to head to the waiting area for the competition.

"I will, Shiraishi-kun." Takanashi Yuko's tension had subsided considerably, and she returned a firm look to Shiraishi Sawa.

The cheerleading competition was conducted class by class, and Takanashi Yuuko and her classmates, who were in Class A of the first year of high school, were the first to perform.

This match allowed Shiraishi Sawa to witness firsthand just how much charm Takanashi Yuko had at Meikawa High School. Because he didn't go to the venue immediately, he found that the area around him was already packed with people. If it weren't for his height advantage and the fact that he didn't need to squeeze to the front, he probably wouldn't have been able to see her at all.

Moreover, during the competition for this grade level, Shiraishi Sawah was surprised to find that there were definitely many second- or third-year students, because he saw several senior faces that he had met in the student council.

After the opening remarks, the five people in the room began their performance as music started.

The five people closed their eyes, raised the hand-cranked cheering balls in front of their chests, and waited for the music to change.

Cheerleading is inherently lively and energetic. When the first note, representing a change in rhythm, sounds, the five girls open their eyes, their faces beaming with youthful smiles, and begin to move in unison.
