I have a lot of green plums

Si Yue Yuzhi took a deep breath and looked at the students who were also saying goodbye at the school gate.

"Yukino, I've thought about it carefully. You should continue to study abroad. You can leave after the party on Saturday."

At the dining table, the family of four gathered together after a long absence, but Mrs. Yukinoshita's words made the already dull atmosphere at the table drop to freezing point.

The one-second silence seemed to engulf the other three people, and they all stopped what they were doing because of Mrs. Yukinoshita's words.

"Ma'am, Yukino just returned home."

As Yukino's father, the gentle middle-aged man spoke up to remind his wife.

"I know." Mrs. Yukinoshita remained calm and said coldly, "I have thought it over carefully. Foreign schools have better resources and strength than Japan. Yukino can receive the best education there."

"From high school to college, Yukino will definitely become even better when she returns from school."

"But anyway..."

"I said, I thought it over carefully."

Mrs. Yukinoshita interrupted her husband directly. In the Yukinoshita family, she was the only one who made decisions.

"..."

Looking at his wife's cold and unquestionable expression, Mr. Yukinoshita opened his mouth, but couldn't say the rest of the words.

He turned to look at the girl on the other side of the table, the daughter who had always made him feel distressed. In the end, he still failed to stand up and protect her.

"Yukino, did you hear that?"

"why?"

Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly looked up at the woman in front of her...she was her mother.

"Didn't we agree that it's Sobu High School?"

Why did he keep going back on his word? Why didn't he understand her feelings? She had already compromised, whether it was practicing the piano or changing schools, she had obeyed him obediently.

But why do we want her to study abroad now? Is it really for her own good, to let her receive a better education?

She... doesn't believe such things!

"Nothing has been agreed upon." Mrs. Yukinoshita frowned slightly at her daughter's direct gaze. "I have always said that you should choose. Since there are better schools than Sobu High School, isn't it natural for you to choose the better one?"

"Besides, since you can accept the transfer to Sobu High School, it also means that you can go to other schools."

What kind of bandit logic is this...

Her mother's words made Yukinoshita Yukino feel a little overwhelmed. She thought that as long as she was obedient and transferred to another school, her mother would let her go.

Chiba is very close to Tokyo, and Tokyo Central is also close to Sobu High School, so even if they parted with that boy, they still had plenty of time and opportunities to meet.

But if she went abroad, it would be really hard to see her again. And three years of high school, four years of college...seven years is extremely long even in the whole life.

How could she bear it?

"I don't agree..." Yukinoshita Yukino looked at her mother and murmured in refusal.

Mrs. Yukinoshita's frown deepened: "What did you say?"

"I said I didn't agree!"

Looking directly at her mother, Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes were full of rebellion.

The girl, who has been a good girl in the eyes of others and her parents since she was young, has finally developed a rebellious heart.

"This matter is not up to you!" Mrs. Yukinoshita said with anger in her eyes, leaving no room for questioning.

"Mother, doesn't Yukino have a violin competition? It would be troublesome if she went abroad."

Yukinoshita Haruno could no longer remain silent and tried every possible way to find an excuse for her sister to stay.

She didn't expect things to turn out like this. She thought that after playing the music written by the boy to her mother, her mother would change her opinion of Yukino.

But now it seems that not only has the mother not changed her attitude, but she is also going to send Yukino abroad.

She had always been able to detect people's hearts, but now she had difficulty understanding what was going on in her mother's mind.

"There's no need to compete. Studying is more important."

"But that's not what you said before. Didn't you say that Yukino should strive for honor for the Yukinoshita family? Now Yukino hasn't done it yet."

If she just casually changed what she had said, what was the point of all the efforts Yukino had made over such a long time?

"Are you all against me?"

Without answering Yukinoshita Haruno's words, Mrs. Yukinoshita put down her chopsticks. An icy breath instantly burst out from her body, making the temperature in the living room drop by three points.

"But this is obviously you, mother..."

"Sister, stop talking."

Yukinoshita Yukino interrupted her sister and didn't want to be blamed by her mother for her sister speaking for her.

"This is the daughter of the Yukinoshita family."

When Mrs. Yukinoshita saw this, she thought her daughter had finally compromised, and her originally unhappy expression finally improved a little.

"If it were so easy to become the daughter of the Yukinoshita family, I would rather be born ordinary."

In this way, at least not too many people would have high expectations of her, and she wouldn't have to worry about the psychological pressure of not being good enough, nor would she be manipulated like a puppet and unable to resist.

She can do what she wants to do and pursue her dreams. Even if her life may not be good, she can still support herself with her own hands...

Meet everyone normally, say goodbye to everyone normally, stay with that person normally, and live this life normally.

Experiencing all the ups and downs, joys and sorrows... just thinking about this kind of thing made her feel warm in her heart.

"Yukino, you are too presumptuous!" Mrs. Yukinoshita slammed the table, causing the servants standing beside her to tremble.

"Yes, I was too presumptuous." The girl did not contradict her mother and just nodded gently, "But I won't change this time."

After saying that, Yukinoshita Yukino stood up and left the table.

"Yukino!"

"Yukino!"

Seeing this, Mr. Yukinoshita and Haruno wanted to stand up to stop it, but were immediately stopped coldly by Mrs. Yukinoshita.

"Sit down, everyone."

"But, ma'am..."

"Don't even think about pleading for Yukino. My decision won't change."

The setting sun shone into the hall, and after the woman's voice fell, there was only endless silence.

Because it is an exam combined for several schools, both marking the test papers and checking the rankings take a lot of time, so the test results will not be known until next Monday.

The students were able to barely have a relatively pleasant weekend.

The last class on Friday was Chinese. Si Yue Yuzhi supported his chin and looked at the unfamiliar teacher on the podium, but his mind was already drifting elsewhere.

Originally, their Chinese language class was taught by Mr. Igarashi, but no one knew where Mr. Igarashi had gone these days and he hadn't seen him for several days.

Even when he asked the blonde girl behind him, he only got a mysterious response from her.

——You will know when the time comes.

——You will be surprised.

This kind of answer really makes people curious and helpless, but April Yuzhi could probably guess that Mr. Igarashi was preparing for the banquet.

But what kind of banquet is it that requires Mr. Igarashi to take so many days off to prepare for it?

"The student who was in a daze, yes, that's you, please stand up and explain what this poem means?"

Just as Si Yueyu was thinking, a white spot suddenly floated in front of him and hit him on the forehead. When he came to his senses, he saw the teacher on the podium pointing at a poem on the blackboard and looking at him sternly.

Today's ancient Chinese class is about learning a poem, but because the poem is a bit long, a lot of it was omitted in the textbook, and the sentence on the blackboard was also within the scope of the omission.

The reason why the teacher wrote it on the blackboard was probably because he wanted to provide an extension for the students.

To be honest, it is almost impossible for an ordinary high school student to understand what this poem means without phonetic symbols and annotations.

But he is April Yuzhi, and neither poetry nor classical Chinese can faze him.

After looking at the poem on the blackboard, April Yuzhi said: "In the sky, I wish to be a pair of birds flying side by side, and on the ground, I wish to be branches and leaves that are inseparable."

“Often used to illustrate the inseparability of the two.”

"Right, teacher?"

The confident look made some people who were ready to laugh at him feel uneasy, and also made some people who were worried feel at ease.

"You...sit down." The teacher, who had originally had a stern expression, unconsciously softened his expression, and even his voice became much gentler.

"Learning never ends. Even if you know the answer, you still have to listen carefully, okay?"

After giving a reminder from the teacher's perspective, he continued his lecture.

"Just like what that classmate said, this poem expresses the inseparable relationship between the two."

"Read it with me again. I wish to be a pair of wings in the sky and a pair of branches on the ground."

"I would like to be a winged bird in the sky, and a twig on the ground."

The voices of the young boy and girl were not yet mature enough. Their slightly immature voices passed through the glass window and floated across the sky outside.

The breeze blew the branches of the green trees outside the window, and two birds flapped their wings and flew into the vast world.

Saturday was the day that he had agreed to meet with the girl. Si Yueyuzhi arrived at the girl's home early.

He originally wanted to lie down at home for a while, but he could not resist the girl's urging and had to leave home under the scorching sun.

"It's so big, so expensive."

This was April Yuzhi's second time to come to Eriri's house, but unlike the last time when he just watched from outside the door, this time he walked in.

"Is it really okay for someone like me to come in? Wouldn't it be degrading to your status?"

"Stop talking nonsense to me." Ying Lili glared at the boy beside her and continued to lead him to a door.

"Are you trying to trick poor children who aspire to be noble into the organ removal room?" Si Yue Yuzhi blinked and asked curiously.

"I'm going to beat you up." The speechless boy had some strange ideas. Eriri clenched her fist and waved it at April Yuzhi threateningly.

"Feel sorry."

Seeing the boy admit his mistake, she snorted, put down her hand, and then pushed open the door.

"Okay, follow me in."

This is the cloakroom, which seems to be larger than his living room. Looking at the room full of expensive clothes, Si Yue Yuzhi once again sighed at the luxury of rich people.

Even clothes can have a separate room, this is luxury.

"Okay, let's see if there are any clothes you like."

Leading Siyue Yuzhi to a row of clothes, Ying Lili said, "These are Dad's clothes. You should be able to wear them."

"The choice has been made."

"So fast, did you choose carefully?"

"this."

Following the boy's hand, I saw a black tuxedo hanging on the outermost side.

"You have a good eye."

Seeing that the boy selected so quickly, Eriri thought he would be funny and pick some inappropriate clothes, but she didn't expect him to be so serious.
