I have a lot of green plums

"..."

"..."

Miku and Mayu were stunned where they were. They really didn't expect their sisters to play so big.

The final exam is coming soon, and this exam is a joint exam between two schools with Shuchiin.

Unlike the last joint entrance examination of multiple schools organized by the government, this time the joint entrance examination of two schools with Shuchiin was initiated independently by the two schools.

To be more specific, it was Shuchiin who took the initiative to propose it, saying that he wanted to highlight the friendship between the two schools.

Since the other party had lowered their status, Tokyo Central had no choice but to give them face. Even though they knew they would be crushed in all aspects, they still accepted the suggestion.

"I really don't understand why these guys are so competitive."

Sitting behind his desk, Tetsuto Shinomiya sighed. He could already foresee the scene in which their school would suffer a crushing defeat.

This is not self-deprecation. It is an indisputable fact that the students of Tokyo Chuo are not as good as the students of Shuchiin.

"April-san, Yukinoshita-san, I can only rely on you two this time."

Shinomiya Tetsuto looked at the two people in the office and made a request regardless of his status as the principal. Now in their school, only the two people in front of him are the best fighters.

No matter how badly the students behind were beaten, as long as the two people in front of them could occupy the first place, it would be a common victory for their school.

"I can only promise that I will do my best."

Yukinoshita Yukino replied coldly. If it was a real exam in the past, she would not be afraid of anyone, but now the guy next to her hasn't spoken yet.

This was the first time since she was a child that she admitted that she was no match for someone.

“What a troublesome school.”

Si Yueyuzhi just felt a little troubled. He had originally thought that this final exam would be easier. But this time he had to spend energy again.

What's going on with Shuchiin? There are exchange students and joint exams. Is there something about Tokyo Chuo that attracts them?

"I understand. I will do my best."

Although he felt a little impatient, he decided to spare no effort.

The school was in mourning during the exam period, and many students condemned Shuchiin's inhumanity.

After the exams, the school had another test on the results of the clubs. Si Yueyuzhi presented the results of his hard work with the girls over the past few days to the school.

There was no holiday after that because Tokyo Central University had a final event.

In order to commend the students for their hard work this semester and to give them a relaxing start to their summer vacation, the school organized a joint performance by the Academy of Arts and the Academy of Academics.

Students can perform on stage as representatives of their classes, clubs or individuals. The school does not participate in the scoring of the performance results, all of which are voted by the students themselves. The highest ranking will receive a free cafeteria ticket for one semester.

This event soothed the hearts of the students who were hurt by the final exams. The event was not very grand, just a simple stage was set up in the playground, and students took turns to perform.

There are no rehearsals, judges, or professional equipment. Students just have to sign up and they can attend.

But even with such a simple format, and the weather being extremely hot as it was approaching July, it still couldn't stop the students' enthusiasm.

On the stage are students’ singing, dancing, and jokes...offstage are students’ laughter.

"Yuzhi, do you think the performance of that girl just now was good?"

"It's a bit bad... the dancing..."

In April, I was braving the scorching sun and had no time to watch the show, let alone pay attention to the performance on stage, so I just made a few casual comments.

"Really? I think it's fine."

After getting the answer she wanted, Nino said with a smile.

"Aren't you going to perform on stage?" Siyue Yuzhi saw through the girls' thoughts but did not say anything. Instead, he was curious about whether the girls participated in this event.

"We? We can't do that."

Ichika shook her head. Only when they stood under the stage could they realize how talented everyone was. Whether they were singing and dancing, manzai, rakugo, or playing musical instruments, the performances were all so wonderful that people could not take their eyes off them.

You all are so great, whether in study or other aspects.

On the other hand, they not only lag behind in their studies, but also have no talent to show off. Although they can barely play instruments and sing after hard work, they are still far behind the performances on stage.

It's really enviable.

Looking at the girl performing on the stage, the five girls had a hint of envy in their eyes. They knew that girl, she was a classmate of theirs, and they even had a good relationship with her.

Originally they thought she would be of the same kind, but they didn't expect that when they were self-righteous, the other party would be so dazzling in aspects that they couldn't see.

"Who said you can't do it?" Siyue Yuzhi reached out and knocked on Yihua's head. "You're saying such discouraging words even though you haven't taken any action yet. Didn't I tell you not to underestimate yourselves?"

"Hmm..." Ichika covered her head, her previous self-pity was immediately dispelled by the young man.

"I will give it..."

Ignoring the girl's pitiful look, Si Yue Yu Zhi lectured the other four girls beside him, "You too, instead of standing here and looking at others with envy, why not go up and show your style to everyone and let others envy you, too."

"Woo, we clearly didn't say anything." Nino was a little unconvinced.

"Even if you don't say anything, I know what you are thinking."

"Wow, Yuzhi is amazing!"

"In short, if you want to transform, you must take that step, understand? Simply envying innocent people will never earn you the envy of others."

“The scenery under the stage and on the stage are two completely different things. If you don’t step on them, you will never be able to see them.”

"So, take courage."

Si Yue Yuzhi encouraged the girls and was happy to see them working hard to learn musical instruments for him.

But if possible, he would rather see them working hard for themselves, refusing to be ordinary, and blooming like flowers. That would surely be very beautiful.

"...Don't make it sound so simple."

Nino lowered her head. For a moment, she was indeed moved by the boy's words. However, the noisy cheers beside her woke her up again.

"But the truth is that simple." Si Yue Yuzhi was not discouraged, nor was he disappointed with the girl's timidity. After all, not everyone is born full of courage.

It is normal for people to be afraid to take the first step because of cowardice in their hearts, and some people exist to lead them forward.

And he is fulfilling such a responsibility.

Si Yue Yuzhi took a step forward and slowly moved forward under the gaze of the girls. He stood from the lawn to the track of the playground, then turned around and looked at the five girls who were only one step away from him.

He smiled and said, "See, it's that simple. It's just one step away. Once you take this step, you will see a different view."

"So, be brave. Because I will always be by your side."

"..."

These simple words made the girls' hearts beat fast, and their uncontrollable emotions burst out from their hearts.

So far, these are the two sentences they think are the most beautiful.

One sentence is what their mother whispered softly in their ears when they were children - Mom will always be with you.

One sentence is the smiling encouragement from the young man in front of me - I will always be by your side.

At this moment, they felt that all the famous sayings in the world were not as beautiful as these two.

"We really... No, we definitely can do it."

The question turned into an affirmative sentence, and the girls' expressions became determined.

"Well, I believe you can do it."

Snapped!

"What's okay?" Igarashi Suzune patted April Yuzhi's head speechlessly and taught him a lesson: "Go back to your seat and don't disturb other students watching the performance."

"......" Si Yueyu looked around and found that some of the classmates who were nearby were looking at him.

After all, everyone was watching the show intently, and he was the only one standing on the runway who would indeed attract brief attention.

"Come on, I'll take you to sign up."

Not paying attention to other people's gazes, Siyue Yuzhi reached out and took the hand of Miku, who was closest to him, and walked towards the registration office.

Of course, this time he chose to go around.

Chapter 214 Preparation

"Next, please invite the students from Class A of the Academic Academy to come on stage. The song they are singing is called - Love Cycle!"

After standing in the audience and waiting for a long time, Si Yue Yu Zhi finally waited for the girls to come on stage.

When they walked out from behind the scenes to the front stage, the students in the audience were extremely surprised. Many people had never seen five identical girls before, not to mention that they were so beautiful.

"Quinuplets?"

"is that a lie."

"Class A? How come I've never seen him before?"

"Idiot, didn't I say he was from the Academy? It's normal that we haven't seen him in the Art Academy."

"So beautiful, I want their contact information."

......

The crowd in the audience was noisy and commented on the appearance of the girls on the stage. Some students even thought about how to create opportunities to approach them.

But there are those who pay attention to appearance, and there are also those who pay attention to the program itself.

"What song is Love Cycle?"

"I've never heard of it. It should be a niche song, perhaps written by some failed musician."

"Judging from the title, it should be a song related to love. How bold! The song that the student in front of me just sang will be very different from the one that I just sang."

"I can only say that I was unlucky, but choosing to play and sing live is not bad either."

......

Not paying attention to the comments of the people around her, Si Yue Yu Zhi's attention was always on the girls on the stage.

Even though he was not with them, he could still feel the nervousness emanating from them.

You must keep going.

Si Yueyuzhi encouraged the girls on the stage in his heart. Although their nervous expressions made him feel a little distressed, he still didn't want them to give up.

After all, it took a lot of effort to muster up the courage to stand up. If you give up so easily, it will be difficult to muster up the courage next time.

Just as April Yuzhi thought, the girls on the stage were extremely nervous. Only when they really stood there did they realize that this was not something that could be done casually. Especially when they saw countless pairs of eyes staring at them.

However, since it has come to this point, they cannot retreat even if they are nervous and afraid. Besides, the boy is still watching them.

If they retreated like this, they would definitely disappoint him. They wanted to find the boy, but their class was arranged to the side, so they couldn't find him right away.

"Hello everyone..."

Ichika took the microphone, stepped forward, stood in front of the sisters, and began to introduce herself.

"I am Nakano Ichika from Class A of the first year of the Academy. The song we are going to perform today is Love Cycle."

Even with such a simple introduction, Ichika felt a little overwhelmed. She had to hold the microphone tightly to prevent the courage she had finally mustered from completely disappearing.

"They are my sisters, we are quintuplets..."

I wanted to introduce the sisters' names one by one, but at this moment a loud shout came from the audience.

"Okay, I get it, so can you perform faster?"

"..."

Si Yue Yuzhi immediately looked towards the place where the voice came from. The person who spoke was a young man wearing glasses.

This guy... Although he felt that his mouth was a bit rude, he was not so angry. He was just worried that the five girls on the stage would be affected by this sentence and their already unstable mentality.

Turning my sight back, I saw that Ichika, who was standing at the front of the stage, had already changed to holding the microphone with both hands.

But fortunately, she did not lose control because of this sentence. She just said with a forced smile on her face: "Then, let the show begin."

After saying that, she turned around and glanced at her sisters beside her. The tension in their eyes was no less than hers.
