Glacier sister, don't want to be a sandwich

The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard. The originally warm atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became a little deserted.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Yue Ge immediately stepped forward, smiled brightly, and broke the deadlock with a lively tone: "Alright! Let's have lunch, everyone! My stomach is practically singing!"

As she spoke, she placed the lunch box on the table.

Ichinose Suyo was slightly stunned. Although she was still a little confused about Yuege's intention of bringing her here, at this moment, her stomach was honestly making a few slight "gurgling" sounds.

Su Shi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she sat down next to Yue Ge holding her lunch box, and whispered, "Then... let's eat first."

Xiao Deng obediently took out his lunch box and sat on the other side of Yue Ge.

The three of them sat together, the lids of their lunch boxes were opened, and the aroma of food filled the air, gradually dispelling the silence and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

Chapter 32: Classmate Su Shi’s cooking skills are really good

Hikawa Tsukuga, Takamatsu Touma, and Ichinose Soyo sat in the astronomy club's activity room, opened their bento boxes and started eating.

To say that the aroma of rice filled the air would be an exaggeration.

The lunch box I brought from home in the morning had already cooled down in temperature after a whole morning and could be kept at the "warm" standard. The heat preservation effect of the lunch box is pretty good.

Although there is a microwave in the teacher's office, it is not used frequently considering that every student needs to line up to heat up their food.

Therefore, most students eat cold bento for lunch - although they may not taste as delicious, they are enough to satisfy their hunger.

Yue Ge picked up a piece of egg roll and put it into her mouth. While chewing it gently, her eyes accidentally glanced at Su Shi's lunch box.

Seeing the dishes inside look fresh and exquisite, she couldn't help but ask, "Sushi's bento looks great. Did your mother make it?"

Su Shi's movements suddenly paused, the chopsticks in his hand slightly suspended in the air, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, as if he was slightly touched by Yue Ge's question.

She subconsciously lowered her head, her fingertips trembling slightly, and her mouth opened slightly, but she did not answer immediately.

"Ah..." Su Shi finally responded, his tone seemed a little hesitant, and his eyes could not hide a trace of loneliness and unconscious alienation.

When Yue Ge saw Su Shi’s reaction, he suddenly realized something and a trace of guilt appeared on his face.

Yue Ge gently put down the chopsticks in her hand and whispered, "I'm sorry, Su Shi-san... I didn't accidentally remind you of something unhappy, did I?"

Ichinose Suyo lowered her eyes, an indescribable emotion flashing in them. She shook her head gently, her voice calm but with a hint of tenderness: "It's okay, Tsukuge-san."

Gao Songdeng lowered her head and chewed her lunch quietly. She felt that there seemed to be a subtle atmosphere between the two of them. She wanted to break the silence, but she didn't know what to say.

After a while, Su Shi's expression gradually relaxed and the haze in his eyes disappeared.

She smiled gently, as if nothing had happened. "Actually, I made this bento myself, Hikawa-san. Would Takamatsu-san like to try it?"

"Eh? Is it really possible?" There was a hint of surprise in Yue Ge's eyes, and at the same time he felt that Su Shi didn't seem to want to continue talking about family matters.

She noticed this keenly and immediately changed the subject: "Is Su Shi-san so amazing?"

Su Shi nodded, with an unintentional confidence on her face: "You're welcome, please." She gently pushed the lunch box towards the two of them, with a gentle invitation in her eyes.

Yue Ge smiled, stretched out her chopsticks, picked up an octopus intestine and put it into her mouth.

She closed her eyes and savored the taste of the food. Then her eyes lit up and she couldn't help but exclaim: "Hmm! So delicious!" She narrowed her eyes slightly and showed a satisfied smile.

"Xiao Deng, you should try it too!" Yue Ge turned to Xiao Deng and said, her eyes full of excitement.

Gao Songdeng hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his chopsticks, picked up an octopus intestine and put it into his mouth.

She chewed it carefully, and suddenly a smile appeared on her face: "Hmm... delicious!"

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

After lunch, Yue Ge was finally ready to talk business with Su Shi.

She didn't beat around the bush like she usually did, but got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Sushi, I'll be frank with you."

Ichinose Suyo was slightly stunned, then nodded, quietly waiting for Tsukuge to speak. "Well, please go ahead, Hikawa-san."

Yue Ge took a deep breath, looked up at Su Shi, and said sincerely and firmly: "Can you please join the Astronomy Club?"

Su Shi pondered for a moment, lowered his head and frowned slightly, as if weighing the issue. "Hmm..."

She paused, her voice apologetic. "Sorry, the Astronomy Club is great, but I'd like to check out other clubs for now."

Yue Ge nodded slightly after hearing this, without showing any disappointment. She had originally invited Su Shi to join with a tentative attitude, and the result was not beyond her expectations.

"Is that so?" Yue Ge responded softly with a gentle smile, her tone calm and without a hint of reluctance.

She did not rush to refute, but gently stood up and bowed slightly to Su Shi, "I am very sorry to disturb your time, Su Shi."

When Ichinose Suyo saw Yuege's actions, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, but she then smiled warmly and shook her head gently.

"It's okay. I'm happy to be able to visit the Astronomy Department. Thank you very much for the invitation, Hikawa-san."

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

After seeing off Su Shi, Yue Ge finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped exhaustedly on the table in the Astronomy Club. Her face was buried in the table, her eyes half-closed, and she sighed weakly, "Ah..." She turned her head and looked at Gao Songdeng, who was sitting next to her.

"Sure enough... there is no progress." Yue Ge's voice was a little frustrated, his brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a bit of loss in his eyes.

Gao Songdeng looked at Yuege silently. After a moment of silence, he asked softly, "Do you want to... invite Sister Hina?"

This was the "backup plan" they discussed yesterday.

Yue Ge paused for a moment and fell silent.

She looked out the window of the astronomy club, as if she saw the vast starry sky, but her thoughts returned to the reality in front of her.

She sighed softly and looked up at Xiao Deng, a trace of fatigue in her eyes. "If there is no new progress, then this is all that can be done."

"But..." Yue Ge stood up from the table, straightened her clothes a little, and said to Xiao Deng, "Let's go back to class now."

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

When returning to the classroom, Yuege happened to see Ichinose Suyo walking towards the bathroom. She had a light figure and a calm look.

Yue Ge walked forward and greeted him with a smile: "Good afternoon, Su Shi!"

Ichinose Suyo paused, nodded slightly, and responded gently, "Good afternoon... Hikawa-san."

Her voice was gentle and calm, and her expression still looked thoughtful.

The two did not continue chatting. They nodded to each other and returned to their seats.

However, the rest of the class seemed to be interested in their interaction.

The green-haired girl sitting behind Ichinose Suyo couldn't help but turn her head, her eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry as she asked softly, "Hey, Suyo-san, are you and Hikawa-san close?"

"Huh? Why do you ask that?" Ichinose Suyo was a little confused.

Chapter 33 Ichinose Suyo

Ichinose Motoyo frowned slightly and looked at Takagi-san in confusion: "Hmm? Takagi-san, why do you ask that?"

There was a hint of confusion in her eyes, as if she didn't understand why Glacier Moon Song was involved.

Takagi-san seemed shocked by Suyo's doubts, and her eyes widened a little: "Huh? Ichinose-san, don't you know?"

There was some surprise in her tone, as if she found it unbelievable that Su Shi had no knowledge in this area.

"Is Bingchuan a child star?" Su Shi couldn't help but ask.

A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes as she thought about where she had seen the name Bingchuan Yuege, but she still couldn't equate her with a certain star on TV.

"The Student Union! The Student Union!"

Takagi's eyes sparkled, and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, clearly expressing some frustration. "I heard that the legendary newcomer, Hikawa Sayo, who just joined the student council a few days ago, proposed a new idea, and the student council president is now considering resigning and making way for her."

She spoke with great enthusiasm, as if she had already thoroughly enjoyed the topic. She continued, "And then there's the school's most famous genius student, Hikawa Hina. I heard that she's only in the fourth grade, but she can already do sixth grade exams."

As soon as Takagi-san finished speaking, Su Shi's eyes widened slightly, and she subconsciously doubted the authenticity of this information.

After all, many things become more and more outrageous as they are spread.

"Are they... related to Bingchuan?" Su Shi couldn't help but ask again, frowning slightly. Although Bingchuan is not a particularly common surname, it is inevitable that there are people with the same surname.

"They are Hikawa Tsukuge's sisters," said Takagi.

“…” Ichinose Suyo still didn’t understand Takagi-san’s logic.

But she still replied politely as always: "Okay, I understand. Thank you very much, Takagi-san."

"Hey, Ichinose-san, if possible, could you let me meet Hikawa-san?" Takagi-san continued to ask.

But unfortunately, before Su Shi could reply, the classroom door was pushed open and the teacher who taught the afternoon class walked into the classroom.

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

Yue Ge and Gao Songdeng walked out of the school and walked briskly towards the school gate.

There was a slight chill in the air, and the evening breeze gently brushed across their faces.

However, when they reached the school gate, they stopped and their eyes involuntarily fell on the figure standing at the school gate.

Ichinose Soyo stood there alone, with the setting sun shining behind her and her long shadow stretching across the ground.

She looked a little absent-minded, as if she was waiting for someone, but there was no one around.

Yue Ge couldn't help but feel curious, so she walked forward and greeted him softly, "Mr. Su Shi?"

Ichinose Suyo turned her head, her eyes instantly regaining some clarity. She raised her head, adjusted her expression slightly, and revealed a polite smile: "Hiroshiwa-san."

Tsukoke blinked lightly, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Is Ichinose-san waiting for someone?"

She originally wanted to ask the other party directly whether he was waiting for his parents, but when she thought of the strange expression that Su Shi inadvertently revealed during lunch, Yue Ge immediately changed the way of asking the question.

She didn't want to make the other person feel uncomfortable.

Ichinose Suyo nodded, looking into the distance with a confused look, as if thinking about something.

Then, she turned her head to look at Gao Songdeng who was standing behind Yue Ge, and the expression on her face changed slightly.

"Hiroshima-san and Takamatsu-san have a really good relationship." Su Shi's voice was low, with a hint of loneliness, and her eyes flickered, as if there was an unspeakable emotion hidden behind those words.

Her gaze was fixed on the front, as if she was thinking about something, and her mood was slightly heavy.

Yue Ge noticed her emotional fluctuations and felt a little nervous.

Although Su Shi rejected her invitation at noon, Yue Ge never cared much about it. Like Ricai, she always chose to let things go and not let them affect herself.

She frowned slightly and glanced at Xiao Deng silently, with a hint of apology in her eyes.

Gao Songdeng also noticed Su Shi's mood changes at this time and had already figured out Yue Ge's meaning.

She nodded slightly, understanding.

She also noticed that Su Shi was lonely today and felt a little worried, so she decided to put her own mood aside for the time being and care about this classmate in front of her.

Yue Ge gently sat down on the steps next to Su Shi, breaking the silence. "Su Shi, it must be lonely waiting here alone."

Her voice was gentle, with a soft smile in her eyes, as if she wanted to break the loneliness in Su Shi's heart.

Su Shi was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Yue Ge to take the initiative to sit down and accompany her.

Her eyes shifted slightly, and her expression looked a little surprised, but she did not refuse. Instead, she seemed to relax a little.

She whispered, "Thank you, Hikawa-san."

"Su Shi... do you want to eat?" Xiao Deng also took out a bag of biscuits from his schoolbag and distributed them to everyone.

Su Shi looked at the cookies, frowned slightly, and seemed a little hesitant.

But in the end, she still reached out to take it, and a faint smile gradually appeared on her face: "Thank you, Xiao Deng."

The three of them sat quietly on the steps, a warm silence filling the air.

Yue Ge, Xiao Deng and Su Shi didn't say anything else. The silence between them was like an invisible tacit understanding. As dusk gradually fell, time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Yue Ge occasionally lowered her head, her eyes gently sweeping over the biscuits in her hand. Her movements were slow and peaceful, as if she was immersed in this moment of tranquility.

Xiao Deng followed closely behind without saying anything more, just occasionally glancing at Yue Ge and Su Shi beside him.

Su Shi still didn't show much expression, just lowered his head, as if lost in some thoughts.

Yuege lowered her head, then looked up at the stars in the sky. Then she looked at her watch and whispered to Ichinose Suyo, "Suyo, it's getting late. The security guard will be here soon to clear out those who haven't returned home."

"Hmm..." Ichinose Suyo's hands trembled slightly. She tightly grasped the strap of her schoolbag, the joints of her fingers looked a little white, and there was a hint of hesitation and uneasiness in her eyes.

She sighed, walked towards Su Shi, and said softly, "Classmate Su Shi, let's take you home."

"Eh?" Ichinose Suyo suddenly looked up and looked at Yuege with some confusion.
