Tokyo Love Story

The next day, with many students feeling both excited and worried, the second monthly exam arrived.

In fact, judging from the irresponsible "leakage of questions" by the teachers of each subject before the monthly exam, which is actually just repeated emphasis on the scope of this monthly exam, as well as the expressions of "no problem, the questions this time are very simple" from time to time, the questions of this monthly exam are not easy.

Students know their teachers' approaches, and teachers will also infer their students' approaches based on their own experiences as students.

The so-called virtual is real, and real is virtual.

If the first monthly exam was to make these students with different academic performances focus and work harder, then this monthly exam is to cultivate students' self-confidence and give them enough positive and negative feedback.

But having said that, to be fair, the exam questions were not difficult, but they were definitely not easy either. If you approach the questions carelessly, you will most likely fail miserably.

The reason why I repeatedly emphasized the commonness of the question was to give these clever students a little shock as a teacher.

The more students think about it, the more they feel like they are facing a great enemy, and this is the correct state for this exam.

In an atmosphere of competition yet silence, the monthly exam day at Shirakawa High School passed smoothly.

Friday, afternoon.

After finishing the last question on the physics test, Beichuan Che put away his pen and raised his hand to indicate that he had handed in the paper.

It just so happened that the invigilator in charge of this exam in his examination room was his class's physics teacher. This slightly plump and very kind middle-aged woman roughly checked his paper and waved her hand, indicating that he could leave.

All the subject teachers in Class A of Grade 1 have noticed Beichuan Che's performance and are well aware of how excellent this student is.

This is especially true for physics teachers.

In the first monthly exam, only Kitagawa Tetsu and Ejima Tadashi in the entire first year of high school got full marks in physics.

As Beichuan Che stood up and left, the other students in the examination room who were concentrating on doing their homework subconsciously raised their heads and looked at his figure. The initial shock in their hearts was no longer there. After so many days of examinations, they had become accustomed to each other's high efficiency and had long been accustomed to being shocked.

Coming out of the examination room, Kitagawa Che stretched his body. When passing by the teacher's office on the first floor, he glanced at the wall clock. There was still half an hour left before the end of the exam. After thinking about it, he took a step and went to the school gate to wait for Ejima Tadashi and Kitaen Rin.

This was also what they had discussed in advance.

Because of the exams, the school dismissal time of Shirakawa High School was adjusted accordingly. Students who handed in their papers could go home directly without having to go back to the classroom. In this respect, it was not much different from the domestic high schools that Kitagawa Che remembered.

"What a coincidence?"

What Beichuan Che never expected was that when he was about to go down the stairs, he heard a slightly surprised female voice and the sound of suddenly quickened footsteps from behind him.

Kashiwagen Shiori also handed in her paper a few minutes earlier. When she came out of the examination room, she was still wondering if she was the only one who handed in her paper so early this time.

Now it seems that she is not alone.

"Senior Baiyuan."

Kitagawa Che responded, stopped, and waited until Kashiwagen Shiori walked to his side before he started walking again at a leisurely pace.

"How did it go this time?"

Kashiwagen Shiori held her schoolbag with her hands behind her back, and there was a hint of anticipation in her tone.

She had paid special attention to the results of the first monthly exam in the first year of high school. Beichuan Che ranked in the top five. This score was quite excellent, not only in terms of the score, but also in terms of the deviation value.

"Just play your best."

Kitagawa Che carefully considered his words and gave this answer.

When Tsuchiya Serina was eating and watching TV at the Kitagawa family's house, she would occasionally mention Kashiwagen Shiori, and more often talked about her grades. She had always been in the top three in the grade. If she performed normally, she would be first or second, and if she didn't perform so well, she would be third.

"So it's the top five?"

Kashiwagen Shiori raised her eyebrows, and her beautiful and lively eyes were filled with anticipation.

"I don't know."

Beichuan Che shook his head, his eyes passed the green belts on both sides of the road and fell on the green trees planted on the school.

The afternoons in late spring are always a little gloomy. The bright sunshine shines through the leaves of green trees on both sides of the school road and falls on the ground. From time to time, the sound of birds singing can be heard among the green branches. The birds flap their wings and move back and forth on the branches. As the branches shake, the spots of light scattered on the ground also shake. Time seems to slow down at this moment.

"You're still not good at chatting as usual." Kashiwagen Shiori pouted. In front of this colleague, she didn't have to hide too much. She paused and said thank you, "But then again, I still have to thank you. After all, thanks to you, I have a definite idea for the new book and it's already been decided."

"what?"

Kitagawa Che was stunned. He stayed there for half a second before he turned his eyebrows and looked at the profile of Kashiwagen Shiori in confusion.

Her face was reflected in his eyes.

In the scattered sunlight, that elegant and beautiful face glowed with light, less tense and more relaxed.

"That confession incident." Kashiwagen Shiori blinked, then changed the subject and said a little teasingly, "You haven't forgotten it, have you?"

"Uh, no."

Beichuan Che shook his head and thought to himself, this is what you are talking about.

“That scene gave me a big shock.”

After walking down the last step, the two finally reached the gentle slope before leaving the school.

"From what I understand, you've been confessed to quite a few times."

Beichuan Che took over the conversation.

"But the feeling of being confessed to and watching a friend being confessed to are completely different." Kashiwagen Shiori just smiled, "Not to mention that it caused such a big scene, it's even more so." She paused and added, "At that time, it was so crowded that no one could get through."

Beichuan Che chose to remain silent. He really didn't know how to answer this topic.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Kashiwagen Shiori straightened her expression and gently touched the back of his hand with the back of her hand. The touch of the silky skin made the latter pause for a moment. "Do you have an idea for a new book? Or are you still brewing it?"

She was looking forward to Kitagawa's next work, both because of her yearning for good works and because of her curiosity after actually meeting Kitagawa Che.

"I'm still thinking about it." Kitagawa Che moved his eyes away, avoiding the slightly expectant look of Kashiwagen Shiori, "I don't have a definite idea yet."

"Oh." A hint of disappointment appeared on Bai Yuan Shizhi's pretty face, but the disappointment came and went quickly. She smiled in relief, "Anyway, if you encounter any problems, you can also talk to me. Maybe I can get the right material."

"Thanks in advance."

"You're welcome, Mr. Colleague~"

Kashiwagen Shiori stopped walking. The two of them had walked out of the school gate without realizing it and came to the shade of the green trees beside the school gate.

"Then I should also..."

Turning around, she was about to say goodbye but suddenly swallowed the words in her throat. Her eyes fell on Beichuan Che's shoulder, where there was an imperceptible small leaf. God knows where he got it from.

"do not move."

After thinking about it, Kashiwagen Shiori stood on tiptoe and leaned forward slightly.

Looking at the pretty face so close to him, Beichuan Che suppressed his instinct to take a step back.

At this distance, he could clearly see the girl's beautiful figure wrapped in her school uniform, and could also smell the faint jasmine scent coming from her.

Bai Yuan Shizhi raised her hand and gently took off the small leaf on his shoulder. She gently pinched the leaf with her slender index and middle fingers, then took two steps back, put it in front of Beichuan Che's eyes and shook it, "Here, I took it off."

"Thank you."

"Let's go, bye~"

Kashiwagen Shiori glared at the unfamiliar guy coquettishly but said nothing. She just smiled, waved her hand, turned and walked into the sunlight outside the shade of the trees.

On a gentle slope.

Kitayuan Rinyin stopped and the scene under the shade of the trees outside the school was reflected in her sapphire eyes. The white hands holding the schoolbag unconsciously clenched slightly.

A gentle breeze blew, and thick clouds moved slowly, blocking the sunlight that was shining on the gentle slopes of the school.

Thanks to Lemon Quicksand, Mengjing Shisui, Blame It on Me, and Single Foot on the Ground for the monthly tickets. Your support is my motivation for writing.

Chapter 75 I have a friend

"Rin, what's wrong?"

After going to the bathroom for a while, Ejima Miu came down the stairs and walked to the side of Kitaen Rinone. After seeing her obviously absent-minded expression, she asked with some concern.

She rarely saw the other person looking so distracted, especially in private.

The eldest daughter of the Beiyuan family always has a calm expression on her face.

"Nothing." Kitaen Rinyin shook her head, retracted her gaze, took Ejima Miu's arm, and forced a smile, "I was just a little distracted."

"Oh."

Ejima Mia nodded, and did not point out her almost non-existent concealment in front of acquaintances. Instead, she showed a natural smile and took her arm towards the school gate.

After meeting Beichuan Che, the three of them were on their way home.

Since I was leaving school early, I didn't have to rush to the shopping street as I did in the past. I could slow down a little and take a leisurely stroll to the shopping street closest to my home, which had discounts on Fridays.

"Speaking of which, Rin, what would you like to eat tonight?"

After walking down the long gentle slope from Shirakawa High School, Ejima Myo raised her eyebrows and her eyes fell on Kitaen Rin's profile.

This title was a mandatory requirement of Kitaen Rinyin. What she meant was that the two of them already had a good relationship and had known each other for such a long time, so there was no need to follow so many rules when they were together privately.

Ejima Tae originally wanted to refuse, but the other party used Tsugumi Serina as an excuse, saying that this neighbor would appear at home from time to time, so instead of changing her words at the last minute, it would be better to change it all at once so that no one would notice anything.

After hesitating for a long time, Ejima Mia nodded and agreed.

She also thought clearly that the way she addressed Kitagawa Tetsu was already in front of Tsuchiya Seina in advance, so it didn't matter whether she changed her name at home or not, but there was still room for recovery for Kitagawa Rin.

"My words are fine." Beiyuan Linyin paused, her eyes drifted to Beichuan Che's face. She thought for a moment and threw the topic to the latter, "Ache, what about you?"

"I?"

Kitagawa Che didn't think much about Kitayuan Rin'in's sudden change of address. Basically, everyone around him who was familiar with him called him that.

"Curry? Udon? Oden?"

He thought about it and symbolically threw out a few dishes that he was relatively interested in.

"Didn't we have curry last night? And we had oolong soup the day before."

Ejima Tadashi coughed lightly and reminded his young master.

She knew clearly that he was not picky about food. If he thought a dish was delicious, he could eat it for more than ten days in a row. In other words, once he determined that something tasted good, he would give up thinking about what to eat every day and habitually choose what he had eaten yesterday.

"Then..." Beichuan Che slowed down his pace and suddenly remembered something, "Wait, I remember you bought a roasting pan a few days ago, right?"

"Yes." Ejima Mia gave an affirmative answer. She bought the grill pan during a promotion at a nearby supermarket, which offered a 40% discount and a three-year replacement service.

"So, we're having a barbecue tonight?"

Beichuan Che asked tentatively, but for no reason, when he said this, that classic posture inexplicably emerged in his mind.

"Of course, we can. Sister Rina still has a lot of beef left from last week." Ejima Tadashi looked at Kitaen Rinne and asked, "What about you, Rinne?"

The other person's taste has always been relatively light.

"For me, no problem."

Beiyuan Rinyin nodded.

"Then, let's have barbecue tonight. We'll buy some lettuce and seasonal vegetables later, and add some meat."

Ejima Tadashi officially made the decision.

Ten p.m.

After washing up and changing into pajamas, Kitayuan Rinyin returned to her room.

From the time she left school, went to the shopping street, and returned home to have dinner together, until the TV show tonight ended, she did not find a suitable opportunity to ask Kitagawa Che the doubts in her heart.

She wanted to know what the relationship was between Kitagawa Tetsu and Kashiwagen Shiori, and she wanted to find out whether he had any feelings for this sophomore senior.

But those words came to her lips countless times, but she swallowed them back into her throat again and again.

She really didn't know how to ask the question, and she was worried that she would get an answer she didn't want to hear. She even worried about whether it was appropriate for her to ask these questions given her status.

She wanted to know, but was afraid to know. The word "fear of gain and loss" was fully reflected in her at this moment, making her feel restless and irritable.

Subconsciously, she picked up the phone from beside the pillow and clicked on Ejima Tadashi's profile picture.

After hesitating for a long time, she still sent a message to the other party.

[Wow, if you encounter something very tangled, how would you deal with it? ]

Soon, the message she sent was shown as read.

【It depends on what the matter is.】
