Glacier sister, don't want to be a sandwich

"Hmm..." Xiao Deng nodded gently, frowning slightly.

For her now, the things Yue Ge mentioned are really hard to understand.

Although she roughly knew that the relationship between Sayo and Hinata had been a little strained recently, which was why she didn't go home with Tsukune, she still didn't quite understand the reason.

"Forget it, let's not talk about those two stupid sisters." Yue Ge suddenly smiled easily, with a hint of mischief in her eyes, "Xiao Deng, how was your class today?"

The change of topic made Xiao Deng stunned for a moment, as if he was pulled back from his thoughts in an instant.

Her eyes were a little empty for a moment, as if the pause button was pressed.

She opened her mouth, but found that she had no idea how to answer.

She raised her head slightly, her eyes scanning the front aimlessly, as if trying to recall how she had spent her morning.

But my mind was blank, nothing was left.

A flicker of confusion and uneasiness passed through her mind, but she couldn't grasp any specific memory.

"Eh? Um..." She responded in a low voice, her voice a little low, her eyes showing confusion and a hint of helplessness.

She didn't remember how she spent the day - after she realized she didn't see Yue Ge in the morning, her mind went blank.

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Yue Ge frowned slightly and his eyes became softer.

"Xiao Deng, is there something that makes you unhappy?" Her tone was soft and concerned. She patted Xiao Deng's shoulder gently, wanting to give her some comfort.

When Xiao Deng heard Yue Ge's question, he finally came back to his senses, his eyes flickering.

She shook her head slightly, "No...it's just...I really can't remember what I did today."

"I just felt like... I walked into the classroom, sat down, and then just kept looking at the blackboard in front of me..."

Takamatsu Deng's words were hesitant and doubtful.

Try as I might, I can't recall what I did this morning.

Yue Ge silently observed her expression, and his heart suddenly softened.

She leaned her body slightly, stretched out her hand gently, and gently held Xiao Deng's hand. The warmth of her palm was transmitted to the other person through this simple touch.

"Okay, Xiao Deng, if you can't remember, don't force yourself." Yue Ge said softly, her tone gentle, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember. Don't let these little things bother you."

She paused, smiled, and changed the subject: "Today, the fast food restaurant in front of the station is having a special on French fries! Why don't we go try some?"

"Yue Ge-chan..." Xiao Deng couldn't help laughing when he saw the obvious desire for French fries on Yue Ge's face.

Her mood was slightly relieved at this moment, "You still like French fries so much."

When Yue Ge heard this, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on her face, and her mouth unconsciously pursed slightly. Then she quickly retorted, "Hey! I didn't mean to go out to eat! I just saw that you were a little out of shape today, Xiao Deng, so I suggested going out to eat!"

Xiao Deng looked at Yue Ge's smile, and the warmth once again quietly entered her heart.

A happy smile appeared on her face and her eyes became brighter.

"Although... I'm not in the same class with Yuege... but this isn't bad either."

----------------

"Sister! Which club are you going to today?" Hikawa Hina happily asked her sister Hikawa Sayo as they walked, with a bright smile on her face.

However, Saya's reaction was completely different from Hinata's.

There was no smile on her face, but rather a cold expression, with her brows slightly furrowed.

She subconsciously quickened her pace, trying to ignore Hinata's excited voice.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, as if unwilling to look at her, and looked a little anxious.

Hinata was completely oblivious to her sister's change of mood and continued to speak excitedly, "Oh! This is the way to the swimming club. Do you want to try swimming today, sis?"

She looked at the road ahead, her tone full of curiosity and anticipation, as if this road was also full of endless possibilities.

Saya stopped and a look of fatigue appeared on her face, as if this moment of stillness could allow her to escape from the pressure a little.

Her gaze fell to the ground, and after a moment's silence, she spoke, her voice calm but somewhat cold: "Hina, haven't you tried so many clubs before? Isn't there any one that you particularly like?"

Hinata seemed completely oblivious to the displeasure in her sister's tone. Instead, she became even more excited, a smile playing on her lips. "Hmm... the track and field club and the light music club seem pretty good, and the craft club's presentation was also very nice."

She continued counting on her fingers the clubs she and Saya had tried out together these past few days: "And the food made by everyone in the cooking club is also very delicious, and the performances of the drama club are also very exciting. It seems that there are so many great clubs!"

Sayo's eyes were still lowered. After a pause and a deep breath, she spoke softly again: "Hina, don't you want to try those clubs? It's not good for you to always stay in one place."

Hinata looked up at Sayo with a determined glint in her eyes and answered without hesitation, "No!"

Her tone was concise and direct, as if she had been thinking about this for a long time. "Because there are no sisters in those clubs!"

Sayo's brows were furrowed, and she clearly felt a strong dependence from Hinata.

Over the years, no matter which club she joined, Hinata would follow her and surpass her in a very short time.

Her mood couldn't help but sink slightly, and the expression on her face became more complicated.

Hinata then spoke up, "I just want to be in the same club with Sayo-nee! Of course, it would be even better if Tsukie could join too!"

Hinata's words were light and direct, with her usual innocence and eagerness, but to Sayo, they were undoubtedly a heavy burden.

Saya's expression instantly became more solemn, as if she was being pressed down by an invisible stone, and a trace of pain and helplessness flashed in her eyes.

She pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

She stood there, silent for a moment, and finally just raised a bitter smile at the corner of her mouth and made a soft sound - "tsk"

----------------

In the small fast food restaurant in front of the station, Yue Ge and Xiao Deng sat at a table by the window with a plate of fragrant French fries and a glass of cold Coke in front of them.

The air is filled with the aroma of French fries and the sweetness of cola. Everything seems ordinary yet has a warm sense of daily life.

Yue Ge gently picked up a golden and crispy French fry, dipped it in a little ketchup, and put it in her mouth. While chewing, her eyes fell on Xiao Deng's face. Her tone was relaxed but with a hint of concern: "Xiao Deng, have you decided which club to join?"

Xiao Deng lowered her head, staring at the fries in front of her. She didn't seem anxious about choosing a club. She shook her head slightly and answered in a low and calm voice: "Hmm... I don't know..."

Yue Ge couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and a helpless expression appeared on her face.

She stood up, walked across the table, and came to Xiao Deng. She rubbed Xiao Deng's face unceremoniously with her hands and said softly, "Xiao Deng, you need to be more independent."

"Well... my Que family has arranged it..." Xiao Deng's face was pinched by Yue Ge, which made him look a little strange. He made a mumbling sound, appearing helpless but with a hint of cute resistance.

When Yue Ge saw Xiao Deng's helpless look, the corners of her mouth curled up and her heart was full of doting.

She let go of Xiao Deng's face and returned to her seat. She sighed slightly, still with a gentle smile on her face, "Okay, okay... Then I'll go shopping with you tomorrow, Xiao Deng, and see if we can find a club you like."

Yue Ge placed her hands on the table, her eyes gently falling on Xiao Deng, her tone filled with anticipation: "Xiao Deng, do you have any favorite clubs?"

Xiao Deng lowered his head and thought for a while, frowning slightly, as if trying to dig out his true interests.

Yue Ge saw her silent for a moment, then smiled slightly, as if anticipating something, and immediately changed the question: "Or, Xiao Deng, is there anything in particular you want to do?"

Xiao Deng was silent for a few seconds, and a faint light flashed in his eyes, as if he had finally found some answers.

"Well... I want to look at the stars... or sing..." She answered softly, with a hint of longing in her eyes.

After hearing this, Yue Ge's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously, "Hmm... the Astronomy Club or the Light Music Club?"

She nodded, thinking that this option seemed just right. "Let's try it together tomorrow!"

Chapter 25 Club Activities (Part 2)

The school bell had just rung, and the campus was filled with the noise of children leaving school.

"Xiao Deng!" Bingbing Yuege stood at the door of Gao Songdeng's class, her voice clear and loud, as energetic as ever.

Gao Songdeng was slowly packing her schoolbag in her seat. When she heard the familiar call, she was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and saw the familiar smiling face at the door.

"Yue Ge..." Her eyes froze for a moment, and her originally tired face immediately glowed, as if it were lit up.

Yue Ge was waving her arms, her smile as bright as the summer sun, the corner of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a small canine tooth. Her eyes curved into two crescents, with an irresistible brightness and enthusiasm.

"Hurry up! Xiao Deng!" Yue Ge stood on tiptoe and shouted impatiently, her voice full of excited anticipation.

"Yeah!" Gao Songdeng nodded quickly and put his textbooks and stationery into his schoolbag. His movements were much more efficient than usual.

The two stood at the door, and the moment their eyes met, Yue Ge smiled brightly and reached out to hold Xiao Deng's hand.

"Let's go, Xiao Deng!" Yue Ge gently shook the hand she was holding, with a hint of playfulness and intimacy in her tone.

"Xiao Deng, which club do you want to try first?" Yue Ge asked cheerfully, her little head slightly tilted to one side, with her usual bright smile on her face, looking very expectant.

The two had just arrived at the school's courtyard. Sunlight filtered through the branches, casting dappled shadows on the ground, swaying gently in the breeze. The laughter of classmates echoed from time to time, and the air was filled with the scent of youth.

"Well... I don't know either..." Gao Songdeng answered in a low voice, shaking his head slightly, his voice as soft as a whisper.

Her eyes wandered, as if she was confused by the question. Xiao Deng had never been the kind of person who took the initiative, and she was even a little confused about what to do in the future.

Yue Ge's smile deepened as she watched Xiao Deng hesitate. She put her hands behind her back, tiptoed slightly, and gently walked in front of Xiao Deng. She leaned over and got close to her face, her voice playful, "Well... since Xiao Deng doesn't know, let me decide!"

Xiao Deng raised her head and looked at Yue Ge's face, which was smiling as brightly as the sun. Her cheeks flushed slightly and she nodded gently: "Well... okay."

Yue Ge clapped her hands together after hearing Xiao Deng's response. "Then let's go to the Light Music Club first! I heard they're recruiting new members, and the instruments look interesting! Plus, I think Xiao Deng's voice is perfect for singing!"

"Light Music Club..." Xiao Deng murmured softly, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

Yue Ge took Xiao Deng's hand and shook it gently: "I will accompany Xiao Deng, don't worry!"

------------

Yue Ge and Xiao Deng walked slowly along the corridor, and the door of the Light Music Club was already in front of them.

Through the door panel, you can faintly hear the sounds of beautiful instruments and singing. The melody is smooth and energetic, as if it can make people feel the charm of music instantly.

Xiao Deng stood on tiptoe and looked inside through the glass on the door. What caught her eye were the senior students who were concentrating on playing.

The lead singer held the microphone in her hand, looking forward with affectionate eyes, and her singing was filled with a hint of tenderness.

She seemed to sense some vague gaze and turned her head subconsciously.

Their eyes met.

Xiao Deng was caught off guard and met the lead singer's eyes, and was stunned.

Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, her eyes were filled with tension, and the next second she panicked and retracted her head, hiding behind Yue Ge like a frightened little animal.

Yue Ge noticed Xiao Deng's movements, looked down at her, a helpless yet doting smile appeared on his face, he rubbed Xiao Deng's face, signaling her to relax.

At this time, the door of the Light Music Club was pushed open.

A senior student wearing a hairpin walked out of the door, her long, smooth hair hanging down on her shoulders, and she exuded a casual temperament.

She glanced gently at the two people at the door, and a friendly smile appeared on her lips: "Are you here... to join the Light Music Club?"

However, when her gaze rested on Yuege's face, her voice paused slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face. Then, she muttered softly, "Saya... or Hinata?"

Seeing this, Yue Ge smiled slightly, shook her head gently, and said slowly: "Hyokawa Sayo and Hyokawa Hina are my sisters."

The senior was stunned for a moment, then nodded as if suddenly realizing something. She then looked Yue Ge up and down, her eyes filled with curiosity and surprise. She sighed softly, "You sisters really look alike..."

A playful smile appeared on Yue Ge's face, and he replied easily: "Senior, this is not the first time you have said this to us."

"Have your sisters ever joined the light music club?" Yue Ge continued to ask.

"Yeah, they've only been here for less than a week. But seriously, Hinata-san is really amazing. In just one week, her singing ability is almost better than mine."

The senior student's tone revealed unconcealed amazement, but also a slight regret, as if she felt it was a pity that such a genius did not stay in the light music club.

Yue Ge raised her eyebrows slightly, seemingly not surprised by her sister's "glorious deeds".

She tilted her head slightly, a hint of helplessness in her tone: "Senior, you're too kind. Hina-san is indeed a bit 'too talented'."

Upon hearing this, the senior student couldn't help but laugh. She raised her hand and gently moved the hairpin by her ear, looking at Yue Ge with gentle eyes: "But then again, you seem very confident. Would you like to try out for the Light Music Club? We would love to welcome you here."

Yue Ge smiled slightly and did not answer immediately, but glanced at Xiao Deng standing behind her.

Xiao Deng seemed a little caught off guard by the senior's sudden invitation. His eyes dodged slightly, and he subconsciously shrank his shoulders and took half a step back behind Yue Ge.

Yue Ge noticed Xiao Deng's little gesture and the smile on her face softened.

She gently pulled Xiao Deng's hand, turned to the senior and said, "If possible, I would like to accompany my friends first and feel the atmosphere of the club."

The senior student nodded, a gentle smile still on her face: "No problem, there happens to be a rehearsal today, you can feel free to try it out. If you like, you are welcome to join at any time."

"Thank you, senior!" Yue Ge bowed slightly to her and walked into the activity room holding the small lamp.
