life in the world

"Well... we are looking forward to the next time Izumi, Saei, and Minako get together..."

"Huh? Did I miss it? There's no handsome Xingchuan in it?"

"Well, doesn't it feel weird for a guy to show up at a party of four girls?"

Sifang Diezi puffed up her face in dissatisfaction, curled her lips, and tactfully complained.

"It's really subtle. For example, Sanada-san looks like a concubine who will be spoiled and proud."

"Hey, Xingchuan, your evil thoughts have been fully exposed~"

She raised her head slightly, secretly using the peripheral vision of her eyes to secretly observe the boy's handsome face under the orange sunlight, with sharp lines due to the shadows.

"Next time... Let's meet with Quan and the others next time?" She paused, and then continued: "Let's go together."

"Okay, I can have a harem dream when I go to bed at night."

"Huhu... Do you want us to send Xingchuan a photo of the side dishes before going to bed?"

"Please be sure to send a private message."

Seeing Harutaki clasping his hands together and bowing please, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

She felt that her smiles this day seemed to be more than all the times in a year combined.

"Dream~"

"It's too much!"

Kick kick.

Kick kick.

After all, a 5-minute journey can only be traveled for 5 minutes, even if it seems to her that less than 1 minute has passed.

She stopped and stood downstairs in the apartment, turned around and looked at the boy next to her, a little hesitant to invite him to sit in her apartment——

If the invitation is answered in the affirmative, then another "first time" of hers will be given to the other party again...

Ahh... It's all Harutaki's fault, she thought depressingly, she had to mention all kinds of firsts, which made her upset because she noticed such things now and then.

"I'll just send it here, otherwise—" Chun Taki paused, and then continued with a smile: "——I'm afraid of visiting suddenly and finding something that Sifang didn't have time to clean up, such as pink... hiss, It hurts..."

"We didn't use that kind of thing!"

After withdrawing the hand knife that cut the opponent's forehead, she, Sifang Diezi, was still a little embarrassed.

However, it really is his style...

Chun Taki obviously sensed her hesitation, and quickly reacted, this way she avoided the embarrassment and entanglement of impoliteness.

Such excessive gentleness and considerateness really make people feel dependent.

"In this case, I will go back first, and use Line to contact me if there is anything to do. Of course, Sifang, if you are willing to private message me on Twitter, I will be more happy~"

"That... Xingchuan..." She directly ignored the other party's soothing joke, faltered for a second before opening her mouth again: "You can just call me Sifang from now on..."

"Hey, I thought it could be called 'diezi'."

Seeing him holding his head in his hands to express regret, she couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling, while reaching out to pat his back to express her dissatisfaction.

"Don't push yourself too hard."

"Then...can I give you a hug before saying goodbye?"

She was about to refuse, but she heard the other party speak again.

"As a 'good friend.'"

What a shrewd reason, she couldn't help biting her lower lip lightly, and blamed the other party in her heart, how could she refuse?

"Just, just once."

Eh... So, this is what it feels like to be hugged by a boy——

Feeling the strong beating from the shoulder, because the familiar body odor of being wrapped up and sleeping all night also flooded into the nasal cavity with the scent of soap...

This seems to have found a reliance and can throw away all the boredom, which is really hard to extricate yourself from.

However, just when she, Sifang Diezi wanted to enjoy it for a while, she was suddenly pushed away by the force from her shoulders.

"See you at the beginning of school, Sifang."

"Goodbye...bye..."

Watching Xingchuan Haruna gradually go away and finally disappear at the corner at the end of the street, she felt a sense of loss for no reason.

In the end, I couldn't say thank you properly and express my gratitude to the other party...

Obviously, even pornographic jokes can be easily shared with Harutaki-san, but why are the words of thanks so... so hard to say?

Chapter 83--Expectations and Visions

In May, standing at the gateway from Yangchun to midsummer, he looked up panting, looking at the first quarter moon at the beginning of that month, like the smiles that Nogami and Sifang students showed when they succeeded in pranking.

Maybe it wasn't a wrong choice not to go to the gym to apply for a card to exercise before?

He, Harutaki Hoshikawa, breathed the air with a slightly salty smell of the ocean, and looked far away at the Tokyo Bay where the darkness and light radiated together.The sea surface in the distance is sparkling, and the line of sight moves upwards. The Rainbow Bridge across Tokyo Bay is emitting a cold white light, which is almost inversely proportional to the prosperous Tokyo Tower behind it.

Slowing down his pace and gradually calming down his breath, he thought to himself that Zhuzhi Wharf is a good place for a night run.

Because of Sifang Diezi, he didn't get up early this morning, and rushed to his "date" with Izumi Nogami after getting up. As a result, if he wanted to continue to exercise every day, he could only experience an unprecedented night run.

Walking along the shore, with gusts of sea breeze blowing, he couldn't help but recall the twists and turns of the whole day.

That scumbag Wakitani has already been cleaned up by his relationship, and Shifang and Nogami-san have also become friends through his efforts to "match up".

When these two good things come together, he should be happier... But, he can't be happier now.

"If the day comes that you have to give up something in order to make a choice, you'd better be prepared in advance."

Sanada Minako's sarcastic voice still lingers in his ears until now.

He, Harutaki Hoshikawa hated this kind of regret that he had to bear.

Isn't there a third answer besides A or B?

Not necessarily, he joked in his heart to comfort himself, thinking of a certain exam, because he remembered that the answer to the multiple-choice question was the last one, so that he blacked out the scandal of D on the answer sheet——

There are a total of ten multiple choice questions in the test, and the answer to the test question is only ABC three options, the correct one is C.

Since it's been done before, there's nothing wrong with doing it again, right?

Create an option that doesn't exist, even if it appears wrong to others.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing out loud. Fortunately, the park at Zhuzhi Wharf was sparsely populated, and no one noticed his strange, sickly behavior.

He, Harutaki Xingchuan carefully observed the guardrail with a little obsession with cleanliness, and then lay down on it after confirming that it was clean. With quite complicated emotions, he looked up at the guardrail again. That smiling new moon.

I don't know if it's because summer is coming, or because it's close to the sea, or because this spring is a warm spring...

In short, feeling the warm sea breeze blowing in front of him, he felt that he should take off his coat and start preparing for the next season's outfit.

Classmate Sifang... Sifang is probably similar to what he thinks, right?

She took off her thick coat and the somewhat heavy mask, so that she might feel a little more relaxed in the future.

From the bottom of his heart, he showed a smile like this crescent moon, and even at the end he was a little reluctant to part with his embrace, as if he was used to being close to him like a cat that has passed the adaptation period——

Such Quartet students are really cute enough.

However, for him who is also wearing a mask, what qualifications does Harutaki Xingchuan have to care about the other party?

In the past, he had to work hard to meet the expectations of his father and mother since he was a child.

He has shown that he is smarter than the children around him. Since kindergarten, he has learned English, piano, and abacus;

When I arrived in elementary school, I went on to prepare for the Mathematical Olympiad, learn the violin, learn Go, and learn how to take care of myself alone;

In junior high school, I continue to enroll in classes to learn new concepts, learn Chinese reading and composition, and learn mathematics to take exams...

"The child from a relative's family went to Imperial College, and I believe you can do the same."

"The kid from my friend's family is studying at UCL for a combined master's and doctoral degree. I believe you will never be worse than him."

"The child of a college classmate was hired by the University of Hong Kong. I believe you can be better than her."

——This is the expectation and longing from my mother.

"You are the only junior in our family, your grandpa and grandma are very optimistic about you."

"Be sure to be a good example. Your cousin will listen to what your elder brother says. It won't work if others say it."

——This is the expectation and longing from the relatives on both sides.

"Is the score stable? Brother, remember to take us with you when your business develops in the future."

"Your grades are also very good this time, right? When you are admitted to a top prestigious university in the world, you will have to bring your admission letter back to school and let me have a look."

——This is the expectation and vision from classmates, friends, and even teachers.

"We can't let everyone down."

——This is him, Hoshikawa Harutaki's expectation and longing for himself.

He still remembers his only failure, which was a long time ago when he was sitting in the promotion arena of Go.

He, who has always been smooth sailing, walked out of the arena crying because he lost to the opponent by two eyes, but what was waiting for him outside the arena was not consolation, but "isn't it embarrassing to cry like this after losing?"

There are many people in this world... there are many, many people, and he, Harutaki Hoshikawa is not the only special existence.

The moment he was declared defeated by the referee, he suddenly realized such a thing.

Even as he grew older, he continued to ascend to new levels and step into new circles, and he gradually began to feel fear and fear——

Just relying on his innate talent and brains will not allow him to win easily all the time.

If I repeat the failure in other things, will I disappoint those who have expectations and longings, will I be left out by them and abandoned by them?

After all, what everyone likes is the one who was praised for being cute when he was walking on the road when he was a child, and he was ridiculed by the teacher as a handsome guy in school when he grew up, the smart and talented guy.

Therefore, he can only work hard, harder than any of his peers around him——

He thought, if this is the case, maybe he won't lose, maybe he can get more power to choose, so that there will not be one and only one option that will eventually fail.

It was through such desperate efforts and avoiding failure that he learned to play the self that everyone wanted and became the popular self.

Just like when he faced Nogami at first, it was difficult for him to respond to her affection.

After all, he has not been sure until now whether he can satisfy the girl's expectation and vision, and whether he can bear the heavy responsibility attached to the girl?

However, although he is afraid of "failure", he hates "regret" more than "failure".

Regret represents depression, regret every time I think about it, and a gap in past memory that can almost never be completely filled.

"Dogs chasing false phantoms?"

He thought of the fable that Sanada classmate told, and he felt a little annoyed and excited for no reason.

He who chases two hares will not get one hare, what can't have both fish and bear's paw——

Raise the gun to declare war on the windmill, run and chase the phantom, and take a small step towards the moon that has been out of reach for countless people for thousands of years...

This is not because he can do it, not because success is easy, but because of the courage and courage to do it knowing that it is impossible, but because of it, the only choice that does not leave regrets is there.

The well-created romantic character set, the scumbag mask worn, Nogami Izumi who corrected his personality a little, the Sifang Diezi who gradually got rid of the shackles, and the two who became good friends after pointing the finger at him——

Everything was ready, he thought to himself, even if he had to face the result of failure in the end, he would probably be the only one injured.After all, from the very beginning, Nogami Izumi and Sifang Diezi never had any expectations or longings for him, the scum actor Chuan Harutaki.

That being the case, in the multiple-choice questions that I always have to do, black out the answer that doesn't exist but I think is correct.

War England... war the windmills, war the phantoms, war the moon!

Hey.

Hey.

The mobile phone in his pocket vibrated for a while. He, Harutaki Xingchuan unzipped the phone and took out the mobile phone. After unlocking it, he looked at the message displayed on the screen——
