I have a lot of green plums

My mind automatically starts to add accompaniment to the melody, making it a real song.

Just as Si Yue Yu Zhi was humming softly, the sound of a door opening suddenly woke him up from his own world.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at the entrance to the rooftop, only to see a fat girl standing at the door. She was holding the door handle with one hand but had no intention of coming in. Instead, a trace of confusion appeared on her face.

Is it because of my own reasons?

Si Yue Yuzhi guessed in her heart, with a kind smile on her face, and waved to the other party, "Senior sister, come in quickly, be careful not to be discovered by the teacher."

After his threat, the other party came in in a panic, then chose a place farthest away from him and sat down quietly.

Seeing this behavior, Si Yue Yuzhi couldn't help but reflect on herself, is her smile really creepy? Or is it that she is not good-looking?

That’s not right. His handsomeness has been certified by many girls.

It turned out to be her own fault. She was afraid to get close to me because of her inferiority complex.

Si Yue Yuzhi thought confidently in his heart, but he just regarded this idea as a joke and was not really narcissistic to that extent.

The real reason why the other party stays away from you is probably because of your own experience.

Even the most loyal puppy will gradually lose its trust in humans after being hurt by them many times, let alone when the other person is a living person.

Si Yue Yuzhi looked at the other person with his head down, thought about it and walked over.

"Senior, don't you remember me?"

He sat next to her very familiarly, then turned around and looked at her with a smile.

"I'm the junior who put a Band-Aid on you last time. You should still remember me, right?"

"......" Kasumigaoka Utaha carefully turned her head to take a look, but soon lowered her head again, feeling a little at a loss.

The other person's smile was so dazzling that it hurt her eyes. She hoped that he would stay away from her, or even pretend not to see her, because he was too close and made her feel uncomfortable.

"You really don't remember? That's really sad."

"no."

However, even though she wanted to push the other person away, when she heard the other person's somewhat lost voice, she couldn't help but speak.

After she realized what was happening, she panicked again.

"So you remember me?"

Feeling the other person's gaze, Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded with difficulty: "Hmm..."

"That's great, I'm very happy."

Happy... Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't know why the other person felt happy, and even thought that the other person was teasing her.

That should be the case. Her existence is to make others happy, even though she doesn't want to do it at all and doesn't feel happy at all.

"By the way, Senior, is the wound on your arm healed?"

As soon as the boy finished speaking, before Kasumigaoka Utaha could react, she felt a hand touching her arm, which made her subconsciously shrink and not dare to move.

The last injury has healed, but now I have a new injury. It seems that those people will never stop bullying me.

I hope the other party won’t find out.

"Ah, there's a bruise here. Has senior been bullied again?"

The boy's voice sounded full of concern, something she almost never heard from anyone else.

But it just wasn't hers.

Just as Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head to deny it, she suddenly felt a cold feeling on her arm. She almost subconsciously thought that she had been fooled.

Sure enough, anyone who was suddenly nice to her was doing so on the premise of bullying.

"Luckily I bought some ice water when I got here, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do, and I don't know if it would be of any use."

"..."

"By the way, senior sister, do you feel cold?"

Isn't that natural? The cold feeling spread across the skin, effectively alleviating the pain of the bruises that were about to be kicked.

Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head and whispered, "No."

"Really? If you're cold, you should say so."

"Um......"

She didn't know whether to hold or loosen the hand on the other side. Kasumigaoka Utaha felt complicated at the moment. She didn't understand why the other party was so nice to her.

He really seemed to be different from the others, not wanting to bully her, but genuinely caring about her from the bottom of his heart.

The various bullying experiences she had experienced over a long period of time had made her mind extremely sharp, and she could clearly perceive the other party's methods.

And this time she had to admit that she had never felt a trace of malice from the other party.

The other party was like a little sun shining on her, bringing her a touch of human warmth in this cold academy.

This time, she must express her gratitude properly, including the last time.

She didn't ask for the other party's long-term care in exchange for a word of thanks, she just wanted to sincerely thank the other party for his help.

No matter how evil others are, she must remain kind.

I don’t know how long I applied the ice for, until the water was no longer cold. Then Si Yue Yuzhi let go of her hand and took out a handkerchief to wipe the water droplets off the other person’s arm.

"There's nothing we can do. We only have this bottle of water. Senior, do you still feel pain?"

Si Yue Yu Zhi reached out and poked the blue spot on the other person's arm and asked with concern.

"No, no more..."

Actually, it still hurts a bit.

"is that a lie."

“…” Being seen through at a glance, Kasumigaoka Utaha started to get nervous again.

"Anyway, I have no other choice. Senior sister, please bear with it for a while. I must deal with it properly when I get back."

"Um......"

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded slightly, and in her heart she was also gathering up the courage to take this opportunity to express her gratitude.

She felt her heart beating violently and her body temperature seemed to start to rise. She had never said thank you to anyone before and it was not easy for her to say it now.

But you can do it, Kasumigaoka Utaha......

After hypnotizing herself again and again in her heart, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally opened her mouth. Just as she was about to say thank you, an inappropriate movement made her stunned.

Gu~~

Feeling the hunger coming from her stomach, Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned for a moment.

Why is it like this... I finally mustered up the courage and was about to say thank you... Why did you treat her like this?

Tears gradually filled up in her wine-red eyes. She had never shed a tear when she was beaten and insulted, but this time she couldn't help crying just because her stomach growled.

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that the little self-esteem she had left was completely crushed, and the person who crushed her self-esteem was herself.

He would definitely laugh at me, and maybe even get angry. After all, no one would like the strange noise I made.

This time, she will never feel any warmth again.

As Kasumigaoka Utaha thought so, she finally couldn't hold back her tears and all the grievances she had suffered for a long time completely burst out at this moment.

She covered her eyes and dared not look at the scenery outside. She lowered her head to block other people's sight.

At this moment, nothing matters anymore: family and school, teachers and classmates, study and life.

Or she felt that her existence had lost any meaning.

The only time she had the courage was destroyed by her own hands, and she didn't know if she could muster up the courage again.

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't know how long she had been crying. When she let go of her hands, the world in front of her eyes had become blurry and she could no longer hear the noise coming from downstairs.

It seems like class has already started.

For her, good grades are the only way to highlight the value of her existence, so she attends every class very seriously and never misses any class.

But now I feel that attending classes is not that important. I just feel depressed.

Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but look at the protective net, and a terrible thought rose and fell from the bottom of her heart.

"Senior, you can't commit suicide."

"Eh?" Hearing the familiar voice, Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her head and looked beside her in disbelief.

That boy, he was still beside her.

"Senior, didn't you have lunch?" Si Yue Yuzhi tore open the pineapple bun in his hand and handed it to Kasumigaoka Utaha. Seeing that the other party did not take it, he grabbed her hand and stuffed the pineapple bun into her.

Looking at the round pineapple bun in her hand, the sweet smell floated to her nose, and Kasumigaoka Utaha felt even hungrier.

But instead of eating, she chose to answer the boy's question first: "Yeah."

"Did they take all the money?"

"..."

"It seems so."

Si Yue Yu Zhi stood up at once, took out a handkerchief and wiped the other person's face skillfully, then said: "Senior sister, I will also come to the rooftop tomorrow."

"I will keep coming here until you learn to resist. If you are hungry, you can come to me for relief food."

"Of course, relief food is not free. You have to pay it back when you have money. I will keep a record of every account."

"That's all. I'm going back to class. Take your time eating, Senior."

After stuffing the handkerchief into the other person's hand, Si Yue Yu Zhi waved and left the rooftop.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the direction where the boy disappeared, feeling a little sad, but it was not the sad feeling of being wronged after being bullied.

It was a different kind of sourness that she had never experienced before.

"Ah, right."

Before she had time to carefully study what the feelings in her heart were, the boy who suddenly appeared from the door interrupted her thoughts and scared her so much that she trembled.

"Senior, you have beautiful eyes."

For the first time in her life, someone praised Kasumigaoka Utaha for her beauty. Although the compliment was only for her eyes, the compliment made her very happy.

The first class in the afternoon was taught by our homeroom teacher, Mr. Ogura, and as expected, Yotsuba Yuzhi was taught a lesson.

Teacher Ogura is usually very gentle, but she is always strict when it comes to academic matters. In her opinion, not doing homework is already a serious offense, not to mention skipping classes without any reason.

"April Yuzhi, you dare to skip classes just because you got first place in the exam, right?"

"Teacher, I have my reasons." Si Yue Yuzhi replied calmly.

"So what's your reason? I'll listen to your excuses."

"I save a soul in need of salvation."

Although he looked serious, what he said was quite funny and unsurprisingly made the whole class laugh.

"April-san is so cute like this."

"So funny."

"Furukawa-san, is April always this humorous?"

"Ah, how should I put it..."

"Shut up, everyone."

Teacher Ogura's words immediately extinguished the lively atmosphere.

"This is my last chance. If you act funny again, you will have to write me a 500-word self-criticism."

Obviously, he was serious, Si Yue Yuzhi argued in his heart, but he tactfully changed his tone, "I have a stomachache, so I went to the health room to rest for a while."

"Really? You didn't lie to me?"
