I have bound two systems.

"I didn't have that idea originally, but the chairs here are really comfortable."

"The lunch break will end in about half an hour. You can take a nap before then. I can call you later."

"I appreciate your kindness, but I can't let you shoulder all the responsibility when you keep calling me senior. Let me sort out the draft of the notice, and you can go to the sofa next to me and take a rest."

"Really? I won't be polite."

"Okay, let's go."

"Many thanks."

Isshi Iroha took off her headphones and left everything to Chisato Suzumiya. She stretched lazily and moaned like a cat, leaning back on the sofa and staring at Chisato Suzumiya at work with an almost greedy look.

After staring for just a moment, she took a deep breath and withdrew her gaze, returning to her harmless look just now, leaning back on the sofa and closing her eyes lightly.

But so far, the atmosphere in this small broadcasting room can be described as all good and harmonious.

Chapter 72: The End of the Journey

Regarding the sports meet jointly organized by the two schools, the student unions of both sides and other members who came to help had already started running around to prepare two weeks in advance.

However, after the event actually started, it only lasted for two days. The celebratory atmosphere was so intense that the students hardly noticed the passage of time before it came to an end.

In the blink of an eye, the closing ceremony of the sports meeting has begun.

A temporary banner was hung in the indoor gymnasium of Fengcheng University, and the directors and presidents of both campuses took the stage to deliver speeches to mark the successful conclusion of this joint event.

Anyone who has had similar experiences knows that this is a long and boring process.

But after all, this is a link where senior leaders highlight their presence, so there is no way to avoid it.

Chisato Suzumiya and other organizers of the event stood on the side of the stage, lowered their heads slightly, covered their mouths with their hands, and yawned lightly.

This was not a yawn of fatigue, but a yawn of excessive comfort.

He had a very comfortable time during those two days, because he did not have to sign up for any competition and had to work hard, nor did he have to run back and forth to the event site like other members of the event committee, putting others before themselves and providing services and help to all kinds of people.

I chatted with my junior high school sister who already understood the sense of boundaries in the air-conditioned and heated broadcasting room.

The junior high school girl has a soft and pleasant voice, and she is very pretty. She occasionally makes cute movements like grabbing her sleeves or gently shaking her calves. She is also very good at talking about topics, and she also lets him know about various situations in the daily life of some female high school students.

With the above situation, plus holding a steaming hot drink and some snacks in your hands, all you need to do is move your lips, and you will feel peaceful and tranquil.

Compared to him, Yukinoshita Yukino, who was also one of the organizers of this sports meeting and happened to be standing on the left side in front of him, covered her mouth lightly and sighed softly, and the reason for this was genuine fatigue.

Suzumiya Chisato could see her pretty profile. Perhaps due to lack of energy, she lacked the usual sharpness like the cold wind on the Siberian plains, and instead looked listless, like a person who walked out of the door after staying up all night in an Internet cafe and unconsciously squinted when looking up at the sky.

The lights on the stage were very bright, but because she was too tired, she seemed unable to deal with the strong light as easily as usual, and she kept her eyes half-closed.

If dark circles could appear around her eyes at this moment, she would instantly transform into her favorite animal, the panda.

Suzumiya Chisato stared at Yukinoshita Yukino with concern. Rather than the inappropriate thought that suddenly popped up in his mind, he was more worried about whether Yukinoshita Yukino, who opened and closed her eyes and whose chin suddenly dropped and then quickly raised, could hold out until the end of the closing ceremony amid the almost hypnotic speech made by the school leader in the center of the stage. After all, she looked like she wanted to go to bed immediately.

Although he was worried, to be honest he couldn't give her any help at the moment.

But fortunately, Yuigahama Yui was standing next to her. She seemed to have noticed her friend's condition, so she took the other's hand and shook it gently to cheer her up, signaling that she could hold on a little longer and it would be over.

Just holding hands with pretty girls is pleasing to the eye. Suzumiya Chisato seemed to be looking at the pure white lilies blooming above their heads. He now roughly understood the psychological state of a fanatical fujoshi who she met by chance when she went to Sobu High School and who stared at him and Fukube who were walking side by side with him.

Fortunately, apart from the school leaders who spoke a lot at the beginning, the others who came on stage to give speeches later all just said a few words and passed over the topic briefly.

Finally, the closing ceremony officially ended with the two school principals smiling and shaking hands.

Chisato Suzumiya guessed that after this joint activity was over, the two schools might choose to continue their cooperation next year.

To put it bluntly, this was an idea initiated by President Cheng Huixun.

When Chisato Suzumiya applauded along with the crowd, she looked over to her and, as expected, saw the smile on Johri's face that was the happiest thing.

It is great to be able to fulfill my wish and bring such a groundbreaking and memorable event to everyone during the last period of my term as president.

However, in this way, the commission that the Service Department accepted from her should now be considered successfully completed.

While Suzumiya Chisato was sincerely happy for her, she looked at Yukinoshita Yukino again.

Her expression was similar to Cheng Huixun's, except that it was much more restrained and subtle.

Perhaps the thunderous applause in the room made her sleepiness less intense, and her sensitivity was temporarily heightened, so she suddenly seemed to notice something, and turned her head to the right behind her, meeting Suzumiya Chisato's gaze.

Neither of them avoided the gaze. After staring at each other for a moment, they smiled almost at the same time, as if they had telepathic connection.

In this way, this sports meet is officially over.

but……

That's just for most people.

The closing ceremony of the Games was scheduled for 4 p.m. The daylight hours were shorter in winter, so the sky outside the gymnasium was gradually getting darker.

Following the habit of going to bed at sunset, now is the time to go home.

But it’s not that simple.

After the closing ceremony, the students in the audience retreated from the gate in groups of three or five in an orderly manner.

Just like a beach after the waves have receded, after they left, in addition to the densely packed folding chairs, the bright yellow wooden floor was filled with many things that did not belong here, mostly debris and garbage.

The school leaders who attended the closing ceremony expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the organizers of the sports meeting activities, gave them high praise as encouragement, and then left leisurely.

The microphones, sound equipment, banners and other things on the stage were all standing there. They had to be taken down in the same way as they were moved onto the stage and hung up before.

After all, we are borrowing the gymnasium from someone else's school, so we certainly can't just walk away irresponsibly. We have to tidy it up before leaving.

The most basic moral issue.

The young female teacher who was left behind, Ms. Shizuka Hiratsuka, sighed deeply, and stood on the stage, looking at the "devastation" below, feeling like crying but without tears.

She should have thought of it earlier. With the style of those damn Mediterranean guys, she would definitely be the one to stay and clean up the mess today. It was a pity that she couldn't go to the blind date party she had scheduled tonight.

She silently took out her cell phone and walked to a corner, intending to inform her friends about the situation before officially starting to clean up the venue.

At the same time, the president of Fengcheng Student Union came to the remaining people, clapped his hands, and organized the subsequent follow-up work.

Chisato Suzumiya and four other boys were assigned to clean up the folding chairs. It was a physical job, but he didn't care. He was worried about Yukinoshita.

I thought it would be over after the closing ceremony, but I overlooked this.

In this case, considering the physical condition of Yukinoshita Yukino that he had just witnessed, it would be difficult for her to continue holding on.

Yuigahama Yui next to her obviously had something to say, but just as she raised her arm to raise her hand, she was stopped by Yukinoshita Yukino, who shook her head at her worried friend.

She understood her friend's thoughts, but still didn't want to make an exception.

It really fits her personality.

When Suzumiya Chisato heard that she and her clubmates Yuigahama Yui and Isshi Iroha were grouped together to be responsible for cleaning up the microphones on the stage and doing the cleaning, she felt relieved and turned around to follow the four boys who had just been called to clean up the folding chairs in the venue.

As a result, the final finishing work of the sports meet lasted nearly three hours.

Night fell completely, and at about seven o'clock when the sky was dotted with stars, everyone finally set out on their journey home.

If we just clean the gymnasium, it would take more than an hour to finish.

But the problem is that when the sports activities start, they are required to be responsible for cleaning up the temporary consultation office set up at the school gate, the help desk near the playground, and the temporary rescue shed set up to prevent accidents.

While cleaning up the outdoor equipment, everyone saw that the school cleaner was still on the playground cleaning up the beverage bottles and other garbage left over from the sports meeting after dark. They couldn't bear it again and temporarily assigned many people to help.

That's why it ended so late.

Originally, the party would be led by the student council presidents of both sides, and there would be a celebration party to celebrate the successful completion of the sports meet. They would go to any restaurant for a meal or something.

But seeing that it is so late today, I will just have to give up for now and make another appointment later.

After finishing all the work, everyone walked towards the school gate, talking and laughing. There were also a few pairs of men and women standing away from the main group, quietly exchanging contact information. The high frequency of mutual cooperation during this period of time has indeed aroused the youthful excitement in many people's hearts.

There were quite a few girls in the crowd who had a crush on Suzumiya Chisato, but the girls from Minjo School knew that he usually didn't care much about other girls so they tactfully didn't take any further action. The girls from Sobu High School saw Isshiki Iroha beside him calling him "senior" very affectionately, and they didn't dare to act rashly because they didn't know the relationship between them.

So his surroundings were relatively quiet.

However, Yukinoshita Yukino, who was as eye-catching as him in the crowd, had an extra gain on the way to the school gate.

Two boys from Minesho School took the initiative to ask for the contact information, but in the end they returned in disappointment under the onlookers' gazes of a group of boys from Sobu High School. One of them even had tears on the verge of welling up in his eyes, which really made people curious about what words Yukinoshita used to make him look like that.

Suzumiya Chisato was chatting with Genji Iroha in a haphazard manner, and he saw what happened to Yukinoshita Yukino out of the corner of his eye, and for some reason he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

He didn't think too much about it, he just unbuttoned his collar to let in some air. He had just done so much work and his body was a little hot now.

Everyone scattered around the school gate, waving goodbye.

Yuigahama Yui was very lucky. As soon as she walked to the bus stop at the school gate, she caught a bus that went directly to her home.

As for Isshiki Iroha, she was picked up by her father who was on his way home from get off work, although before getting in the car she strongly expressed that she wanted her father to give Chisato Suzumiya and Yukinoshita Yukino a ride as well.

However, they both declined at the same time. It was rush hour in Tokyo with traffic jams at this time. Besides, their apartment was located in completely different directions from Isshiki's house. How could they feel comfortable to trouble her father?

So in the end, Chisato Suzumiya followed Yukinoshita Yukino and walked towards the tram station.

The situation that Suzumiya Chisato was worried about did not happen. Although Yukinoshita Yukino looked extremely tired, she had no problem walking normally and did not need someone to support her.

They briefly talked about the insignificant things that happened during the sports meeting in the day. When they were almost at the entrance of the tram station, an old Honda sedan with a shrill horn suddenly stopped beside them on the motor vehicle lane on the side of the street.

Suzumiya Chisato subconsciously took a step towards Yukinoshita and stood in front of her.

The car window rolled down, revealing a familiar face.

"Yo!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka placed one hand on the steering wheel and saluted with the other hand, smiling as she greeted the two people.

"Don't just stand there. Cars can't stay here for too long. Get in the car. I'll take you home."

Yukinoshita Yukino and Suzumiya Chisato looked at each other, walked to the side of the road, opened the car door, and sat in the back seat together.

After observing from the rearview mirror that they had fastened their seat belts, Shizuka Hiratsuka drove the car away.

"Teacher, I remember your car is not this model."

"Ah, about this... The car I drive for daily commuting accidentally hit a roadside bollard, so I sent it in for repairs. The 4S shop temporarily lent me this car for transportation."

"Teacher, please drive safely."

"Hahaha, I know~"

Hiratsuka Shizuka laughed and passed it off.

She knew the address of Yukinoshita Yukino, and also heard from Haruno that Chisato Suzumiya and her sister were neighbors, so after getting in the car, she didn't ask any questions and drove straight to the apartment knowing what she was doing.

"However, this event was really a great success, and this is inseparable from your active participation."

"That is... the result of everyone's hard work..."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the street scene outside the window that was constantly receding, and her eyelids began to twitch.

"The principal said that we might hold a similar event next year, so we might need your help next year."

"kindness……"

"Don't be afraid of the trouble. This is actually a good thing. When you graduate, your graduation record will include relevant experiences, which will be very helpful for your future job search. After all, the experience of school activities is also a part of life..."

"Hiratsuka-sensei."

Chisato Suzumiya interrupted Shizuka Hiratsuka's words in a light tone.

Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was driving, tilted her head towards the rearview mirror and saw through the long lens that Chisato Suzumiya was putting her index finger in front of her mouth to indicate a hushing gesture.

Because at this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino had been overwhelmed by the tide of fatigue since she had no idea when. She closed her eyes and leaned on his shoulder unconsciously.

…………

Chapter 73: Their Eye-to-Eye Contact

The car drove to the underground parking lot on the first floor of the apartment.

Shizuka Hiratsuka turned off the car, unbuckled her seat belt, looked back at the back seat, her lips slightly raised and her eyes full of amusement.

Being stared at by her, Chisato Suzumiya felt quite helpless.

He tilted his head to look at Yukinoshita Yukino beside him. Perhaps it was because the heater was on in the car and the car was shaking all the time, which released all the fatigue she had accumulated in the past two days at once. As a result, she was still sleeping soundly leaning on his shoulder, with no sign of opening her eyes at all.

She slept comfortably throughout the whole process without any psychological burden, but Suzumiya Chisato froze her body and dared not make any big movements.

This unexpected time gave him a bit of a headache... but perhaps he also enjoyed it a bit.

"What should we do now? Otherwise, Suzumiya, just bear with it for a while. I'll park my car here with the heater on, and you two can rest in the back seat for the night."

Shizuka Hiratsuka said this with a smiling expression as if it was none of her business, but it was also obvious that she was joking.
