Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Birds [Part 1]
After the Wu Geng group finished recording the show in Kagoshima, they returned the same way, took a bus to the airport, and then flew back to Tokyo.
It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when we landed, and the sky was getting dark. After bidding farewell to the program crew, the four of them walked out of the building together.
Logically speaking, everyone should go back to their homes at this time. At most, everyone can have a meal together before leaving.
She just finished driving in the fifth watch and felt a little uncomfortable. She had been a little motion sick before, but it wasn't serious, but now she definitely couldn't eat.
"What about you, little Feiniao? Are you hungry now?"
Xiao Feiniao shook her head and said, "I'm not hungry now." Her tone was a little wimpy, like an eggplant beaten by frost. It had been peeling for a day, so she was probably tired.
Zhongyuan looked at Xiao Asuka and said, "I plan to go to Sayuri's house to see her. Do you want Asuka to go with me?"
The little flying bird remained silent and did not speak.
"Where's Houli Jiang?" Wu Geng asked.
Going to visit his senior, Weiyang Nai naturally couldn't refuse. He nodded.
"...I want to go home." At this time, the little bird said softly, "Send me at the fifth watch."
"How old are you and you still need someone to give you to you?"
Xiao Feiniao wrinkled her nose and said, "Whether you want to send it or not, if I get lost, my mother will definitely call you first."
"Okay, okay, I'll see you off. It's such a big deal."
In fact, Xiao Feiniao planned to go back with her even if she didn't tell Wu Geng. It wasn't that she felt it was difficult to get along with Zhong Yuan, it was just that she didn't trust Xiao Feiniao. Besides, Wu Geng was used to seeing her off, so he let her go back alone.
At home, you may still feel uneasy at midnight.
"Then we will divide our troops into two groups. You go to Riyaxiang to visit the patient, and I will take Xiao Feiniao home."
"Asuka-chan..." At this time, Zhongyuan called the little Asuka.
"Um?"
Zhongyuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed again, "...It's nothing, then we can separate here."
As she spoke, she pulled Weiyang Nai, who was looking back frequently, to walk in the opposite direction.
Wugeng always felt that Zhongyuan's last look was meaningful, but she didn't know why. She touched Xiao Feiniao's arm and asked, "Did something happen when you and Riyaxiang were recording the show?"
"...You are the one who is responsible for what happened, right?" Xiao Feiniao glanced at her, turned around and walked away.
Being insulted by Xiao Feiniao, Wugeng's breath was stagnant, and he hurriedly caught up, "What kind of attitude do you have? I sacrificed my personal time to give it to you, so I can at least say thank you."
"You are welcome."
"Who is being polite to you?"
——
Wu Geng and Xiao Feiniao boarded the bus to take her back. Wu Geng had taken this route dozens of times and remembered it more familiarly than her own mobile phone number.
Transfer from bus to subway and then walk for more than ten minutes. The total journey is more than forty minutes. Of course, this is when there is no traffic jam.
It was not yet the rush hour after 8 o'clock, so there were some people on the bus, but luckily there were empty seats.
Xiao Feiniao chose a seat by the window. As soon as he sat down, he looked out the window, not sure if he was pretending to be serious or for what reason. Wu Geng shrugged and sat next to her.
Outside the window, signs and neon signs gradually light up.
Xiao Feiniao seemed to be in a bad mood. She didn't say much on the way back. Wu Geng found it strange. This was not in line with her usual image.
Wu Geng could only think that she was a little motion sick just like him.
The bus passed one stop after another, and people with different expressions walked up and down. At five o'clock, I straightened my back and yawned.
"Are you sleepy?"
At some point, Xiao Feiniao looked away from the window and stared at her.
"I didn't sleep well on the bus."
"Didn't you sleep for a while on the plane?"
"Maybe it's because he hasn't recovered yet."
Xiao Feiniao muttered, "I sleep for so long every day. I really don't know how someone like you could get into Tokyo University."
"Of course you worked hard, little bird bird."
"I haven't seen how hard you work..."
"I won't come to you and study hard every day," Wu Geng said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I, a Dongda University student, work tirelessly to tutor you. This can be regarded as VIP treatment. Why can't your grades improve?
Why? I really want to split your head open and see what’s inside."
"I'm not begging you either." Xiao Feiniao rolled her eyes.
"Wow, what you said is going too far. Do you understand what it means to respect teachers and respect morality?"
Wu Geng smiled and joked with her, and the little bird hummed softly.
Wu Geng shook his head and said to himself, "If your grades are better, you might be able to attend Dongda University. By then we will be juniors and seniors."
Xiao Feiniao imagined the scene of the seniors standing together, and felt unexpectedly harmonious.
"...It can't be so easy." She said softly.
Wu Geng looked at her in surprise, expecting her to say something like "who cares" and "I don't want it", but her tone sounded like she had really had this idea.
Wu Geng shook his head, feeling that he was overthinking. With Xiao Feiniao's grades, it would be considered good to be able to get into an ordinary university. Dongda... I guess it would be difficult to get into it even in dreams.
The topic ends here.
The night was getting darker. The bus was driving on a smooth road, passing through lively neighborhoods one after another, and was finally stopped at a red light intersection.
Xiao Feiniao pinched the corner of his clothes, was silent for a moment, and said softly, "What are you talking about."
Wu Geng smiled, "What did you say?"
Xiao Feiniao shook his head, "I don't know, anyway, what are you talking about."
Normally, I wouldn't feel embarrassed if I kept her silent for more than ten minutes. The two of them were so familiar that they could fight without any scruples. However, just tens of seconds of silence made Xiao Feiniao a little tortured.
"What's wrong with you today? You're not usually like this." Wugeng said with a smile, "Are you tired from riding in the car, or are you in a bad mood?"
Xiao Feiniao shook her head. Wu Geng didn't know what she was denying and scratched her head. "Okay," she sighed. She was really not good at taking the initiative to find topics to talk about.
"Okay, have you been reading anything lately? Asuka-san."
"..." Xiao Feiniao looked at her, a little speechless, as if he was blaming her for finding such a bad topic.
Wu Geng shrugged.
"I recently read Ayoshiki-sensei's "The Garden of Fairy Tales" again." Xiao Asuka said in a low voice, "It's very interesting."
"Didn't you ask Hibiki if she wanted an autograph last time?"
"...forgot."
"That's such a shame."
The two of them chatted wordlessly, as plainly as pure water. Little Feiniao didn't know what was going on and was uneasy.
The further the bus drove, the more flustered she felt.
She thought of something, and then she felt that her thoughts were clear. She went to see Inoue and Hoshino before recording the show.
At that time, Inoue's fever had not subsided, and she was lying on the bed with a wet towel on her head. Her cheeks were red and she seemed weak when she spoke. She told Xiao Asuka and Hoshino that not long after taking the medicine, her head felt dizzy and slightly...
For a moment, I felt something swinging around inside.
Little Asuka rubbed the wrinkles on her skirt, feeling as if she had lost her soul.
She didn't have a fever, but she seemed to be suffering from similar symptoms. Could this be a new type of influenza?
She stopped talking to Wu Geng in a meaningless manner, and suddenly felt like laughing.
"I really don't understand what you little girls are thinking...although I am also in this category."
Eh?
As soon as Xiao Feiniao raised his head, Wu Geng's hands slapped him on the face, his chubby little cheeks were roughly squeezed together, and his mouth was pouted.
"Asuka-san, Asuka-san."
Wu Geng just moved her face to his eyes, stared at her openly and said seriously:
"If you are worried or unhappy, just say it. This melancholic girl's state makes me uncomfortable. Do you know that?"
"... Are you trying to count the ropes? (What are you talking about?)" The little bird struggled to speak.
"I'm telling you, if you, stupid bird, can't be happy every day, I will be very troubled."
She...what does she mean?
At this time, the name of the arrival station was announced in the bus. It sounded very familiar.
Ah, right.
"Just right."
Wu Geng grabbed Xiao Feiniao's hand and forced her to get out of the car.
"What exactly?"
"It just so happens that Akihabara is nearby," Wu Geng said without looking back, "Let's go, I'll take you to play video games."
Xiao Feiniao was stunned for about four or five seconds. She didn't react until the two of them were standing on the platform and the bus was far away.
