She discovered this place yesterday at noon. No one would come here during the lunch break because it is open-air and she can see the sky. It can be said to be a good place to eat alone and daydream.

Walking into the storage room, Toyokawa Shoko felt a little more relaxed.

She found a chair, wiped it clean, sat down, unwrapped her sandwich, and prepared to enjoy her lunch.

Then she caught a glimpse of a girl in pink sportswear looking at her in horror in the corner...

Volume 1: Chapter 6 The sun shines through the haze again

Seeing the girl huddled in the corner, Xiangzi's brain began to think rapidly, trying to understand the situation in front of him.

"What's up with this girl?"

"Why is she hiding here?"

"Has he committed a crime? Or is he hiding from something?"

"Like I'm hiding from..."

"No, I'm not avoiding it."

"I killed my weak self in the past."

“That’s different from hiding.”

Not only Toyokawa Shoko couldn't understand the situation, but Goto Ichiri who was hiding in the corner was also a little confused.

She just felt that the atmosphere in the classroom was too depressing. Her classmates had all started to make new friends, and the unique glow of campus youth began to slowly radiate, making her feel that she was going to repeat the mistake of not making any friends in the three years of junior high school.

So during the lunch break, she wanted to find a dark and small space to relax.

Relying on her keen intuition about specific spaces, she found the storage room and huddled in a dark corner.

When everything around him returned to calm, Goto Ichiri breathed a sigh of relief.

This feeling is like working hard for 380 years to help Yugong move the Taihang and Wangwu mountains, and then going home to soak in a steaming hot bathtub. It's nothing but comfortable.

But before she could enjoy it, she saw the blue-haired girl walk in.

At first, Goto Ichiri thought that he was a fellow traveler like her, but after seeing him carefully wipe the stool and then sit down gracefully to prepare for lunch, she realized that she was overthinking.

Shoko Toyokawa was not quite sure why Goto Ichiri was hiding in the corner, but when she saw that the other party did not take any further action except looking at her with horror, she looked away, quickly finished the sandwich in her hand, and left.

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko leave, Goto Ichiri's tense body slowly relaxed, and then he continued to shrink in the corner.

……

At the door of the convenience store, Takamatsu Deng's mood fell to the bottom when he saw Toyokawa Shoko disappear from his sight.

She stared blankly at the scene in front of her, feeling an urge to escape from here.

A breeze blew by, and a petal was lifted by the wind, swaying and floating away into the distance.

Gao Songdeng's thoughts also followed the petal and drifted to that afternoon last year.

There was also a gust of wind like this at that time, which blew off some petals.

She stood on the overpass, looking at the falling petals, and reached out to catch them, but was knocked down by Toyokawa Shoko, who was passing by and mistakenly thought she was trying to commit suicide.

"No!"

"I'm sorry to knock you down, but you can't die!"

Gao Songdeng still clearly remembers the serious and anxious look in the other person's eyes when he looked at him.

At that moment, Gao Songdeng felt as if a beam of light had torn apart the haze covering his head and shone into his own world.

Later, they became friends.

At Xiangzi's invitation, she joined a band called CRYCHIC and served as a lyricist and lead singer.

“From now on, we will play music together and become a community with a shared future!”

She remembered what Xiangzi said on the day when the band members gathered for the first time.

At that time, Xiangzi was full of energy and his eyes were full of hope for the future.

She was sitting next to him at that time, looking at Xiangzi like this, and began to look forward to the future.

Since then, the band members have trained together, performed together, and worked hard for the band's first live performance.

For Deng, that was the happiest time in his life so far.

"But……"

"Why……"

An expression of slight pain appeared on Gao Songdeng's face. She closed her eyes and slowly squatted down.

The memory of that rainy day began to emerge, slowly covering up the beauty of the past.

Self-blame, guilt, and confusion began to grow and linger in my heart...

Those feelings were like hands reaching out from a deep pool called emotions, trying to tear apart the beauty in her memories and drag her in completely.

"Takamatsu-san?"

"what happened to you?"

Gao Songdeng suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Her thoughts were immediately interrupted, and the hands that had just stretched out from the deep pool of emotions immediately retracted.

Gao Songdeng opened his eyes and saw Shirakawa Ze squatting in front of him, his eyes full of concern.

"I'm fine."

Gao Songdeng shook his head slightly and stood up.

Baichuanze also stood up,

"If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know."

Gao Songdeng said "hmm" and nodded, but didn't say anything else.

She doesn't want to tell the other person about her past yet.

On the one hand, he felt that Shirakawa Ze didn't even know the members of those bands, so there was no need to cause them more trouble. On the other hand, he felt that the relationship between the two of them was not yet at the point where they could discuss these things.

Seeing that Takamatsu Deng had fallen silent, Shirakawa Ze did not ask any further questions. He raised his hand and gestured to the convenience store next to him.

"I'm going to buy a bottle of water first. I ate too much sugar this morning and I'm a little thirsty."

After hearing this, Gao Songdeng also realized that he was thirsty. He remembered that he also wanted to buy a bottle of water, so he followed him into the convenience store.

"Has Takamatsu-san eaten yet?"

Walking out of the convenience store, Shirakawa Ze turned his head and looked at Takamatsu Deng.

The latter shook his head.

Baichuanze paused for a moment, then spoke,

"I don't know what Takamatsu-san just went through."

"But in my opinion, it's better to eat a little."

"Do you want to go to the cafeteria? I'll come with you."

Takamatsu Deng nodded, and the two of them walked towards the cafeteria side by side.

Because Xiuhua High School is a non-boarding school, most students have the habit of bringing their own meals, so there are not many students coming to the cafeteria, making the environment quite deserted.

After looking around, Takamatsu Deng bought an ordinary rice ball for lunch.

Because of what happened just now, she was not in the mood to eat. The reason she came here was to respond to Baichuan Ze's concern.

She didn't want to bring unhappiness to the people around her because of her own reasons.

After eating the rice balls, the two walked towards the classroom.

Shirakawa Ze thought of the appointment tonight, turned his head and looked at Takamatsu Deng, who was obviously in a heavy mood.

"Takamatsu-san, do you feel that what happened tonight was a little bit forced?"

Gao Songdeng thought about the appointment he had made in the morning, and his mood became even heavier.

"Could it be that Shirakawa-san saw that I was in such a bad mood that he thought I was a bit of a spoilsport?"

"After all, looking at the stars is such a happy thing, but now I give people a bad impression..."

"And I didn't explain to him why I was like this. I guess he must be feeling troubled too, right?"

"Because my problem...has troubled others again..."

After feeling the gravitational field around Takamatsu Deng getting stronger, Shirakawa Ze immediately spoke up.

"I just checked the weather. Tonight is especially suitable for stargazing."

"If you have the beautiful starry sky to comfort you, Takamatsu-san will probably feel better, right?"

"Then it's settled. We'll meet at the entrance of the Astronomy Department's activity room at 7pm."

Like the sun shining through the haze again.

Gao Songdeng raised his head and looked at the young man beside him.

Actually, this was the first time she looked directly at the other person's face. Only then did she truly see the appearance of the person in front of her.

He has short black hair, bright eyes, and although his face looks a bit childish, he is still handsome.

Especially the focused and serious look in the other person's eyes when he looked at him, which made Gao Songdeng have no doubt that the friendly signals released by the other party were hypocritical.

"Ok!"

Gao Songdeng looked at Baichuanze and nodded.

"See you there or not!"
