Chapter 147 The emotionally complicated journey to school
On October 5th, Friday, the October wind began to bring a cool breath.
Kambara wakes up early as usual and goes out for a run along various trails in the Arakawa community.
He became a celebrity here.
Because he is always running around in residential areas full of telephone poles and bicycles, many grandmothers and grandfathers who get up early to exercise have gotten to know him, and they will say good morning every day when they see him.
The atmosphere is friendly and comfortable.
But the only bad thing is that when he gets a drink from a roadside vending machine, the old people will tell him that the drink is unhealthy and contains food additives.
It’s even worse if you drink soda, your bones will melt!
Kagura Raku would nod in agreement every time, but he didn’t agree in his heart.
It seems that the elderly in this part of Asia think so, and some even think that MSG cannot be eaten because it is unhealthy.
But isn’t MSG just a substance like glutamic acid?
Glutamic acid is added to Miso, which is also found in the kelp.
Isn’t this eating MSG in disguise?
Kanbaru put away this incomprehensible thing and continued running along the lawn path next to the Arakawa River.
The morning breeze beside the road stirs up the aroma of fragrant grass, and the green shade is mixed with the smell of earth. The dewdrops on the grass tips are reflected by the sun, shining like a dreamy green in the morning.
After running home, I washed my face and made some breakfast. Kambara went to the second floor and woke up my sister who was still asleep.
"Ha~~~Brother, please help me get dressed...I'm so tired and too lazy to dress."
"Think beautifully."
Then we had breakfast together and changed clothes for school.
"Is it so slow to put on shoes?"
Kanbaru Suzu kept hooking her feet back, but no matter how hard she tried, the heels of the small leather shoes hanging on her fingers just couldn't get through.
"Hey! Brother, wait for me, don't go out."
"Hurry up."
"Okay, hurry up, hurry up."
Kambara Raku stood at the iron gate of the yard and glanced at Kambara Suzu inside. She finally put on her shoes, hurriedly closed the door, and then ran to Kambara Raku's side with a small schoolbag on her back.
Kanbaru Suzu blinked and suddenly realized that he was much taller than her, and her head just reached his shoulders.
Her short hair was facing the sun. When she saw her brother's face, she stood on tiptoes, raised her head, put her two fingers together and faced herself, tilted her head to the left, squinted her eyes and smiled brightly at him:
"Good morning~~~Good morning!"
Kagura Raku hit her on the head with a knife, "Where do all these dramas come from?"
Kanbaru Suzu was in pain, holding her head and bulging her face: "What, your newly combed hair has been messed up by you."
Listening to the jingle of bicycles passing by behind her, Kambara locked the iron door.
"It's obviously very cute, okay..."
Kagura turned around and looked at her sister who was combing her hair with her hands.
White shirt, Western-style lapel school uniform, red bow, solid color pleated skirt and knee-high black socks...
It’s the age of youth.
"It's your birthday in December."
"Yes, yes, brother, have you thought of any gifts? I will be 16 by then!"
Kanbaru turned around and started walking. Kanbaru Suzu held on to the schoolbag strap around her waist with both hands and quickly followed him. She skipped and walked beside him and asked:
"Gifts, gifts, I have thought about any gifts."
"I never thought about it."
"Ah~~~so disappointed."
"The main reason is that I have difficulty choosing and don't know what to give."
"Be careful! It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not. After all, brother, you are poor." Kanbaru Suzu clapped her fingers as if counting, "When you move out this time, you paid the rent, and you also have to pay for living expenses, plus
That king crab, the money given by Uncle Tianhai and my mother has almost been spent!"
"Well... Indeed, that part of the money did not save much." Kanbaru did not finish the sentence, because it was difficult to explain the source of some of the money.
Kanbaru Suzu jumped and stood in front of Kanbaru Le, causing him to stop:
"Hey, I have money, how about I support you!"
The face is quite cute...it makes people want to pinch it...
"Your eyes are almost shining," Kambara walked around her and looked straight ahead, "How can a brother still need a sister to support him?"
Kanbaru Suzu followed up in a small step: "You want it! I'll support you. As long as you cook and wash clothes for me every day, I won't mind if you spend my money!"
"You don't mind, I mind."
Kanbaru Suzu was angry, how can there be such a ignorant person: "Huh, bad Lele who doesn't know good from evil..."
Kaname Yuara glanced sideways at her: "Come here."
"I don't want it!" Kanbaru Suzu was instantly frightened and quickly held her head.
We walked all the way to the bus stop outside the community and stood under the stop sign. The green mountains ahead and the trees in the early morning were attractive. The two looked at the scenery together and waited for the bus.
"Then - what's for dinner tonight?"
"It's only morning and you're already thinking about dinner?"
"You don't want to eat food from outside? How can you cook it deliciously?"
"Don't always act coquettishly towards your brother."
"What kind of coquettishness is this? This is a request, yes, it is a request!"
"Shouldn't the request be 'You have to cook for me today'?" Kanbaru held his forehead in confusion, "Idiot."
"You are an idiot too, okay!" Kambara Suzuya showed no sign of weakness.
"Idiot A Ling."
"Idiot Lele!"
"Idiot A Ling."
"Idiot Lele!"
"Idiot A Ling."
"Idiot Lele!
”
......
Amidst the endless stupidity, the two got on the bus together.
There was still room in the back row, so the two of them walked over.
Kagura Le walked in front and took the seat first.
"Let me sit inside."
"Didn't you just call me a fool?"
"Obviously it was you who said I was stupid first!" Kanbaru Suzu glared at him fiercely, pouted, pulled him from inside to the outside, and then squeezed in.
"Your schoolbag... slapped me in the face." Kagura Le was forced to turn away from her face by the schoolbag behind her butt.
"Who told you to be bad!"
Kamihara Suzu took off her schoolbag from her back and sat inside with it in her arms. She noticed that Kamihara Rezu was looking at her and made a face.
"Slightly!"
Kanbaru couldn't help but want to laugh.
Should I say that this girl has a special talent for making faces?
I really wanted to grab her by the hand and pull her face out.
Kagura Raku promised that if she made a face to him again, he would grab it with one hand. Unfortunately, she stopped moving and started scrolling through her phone and Twitter as soon as the bus engine started.
She took the opportunity to take a look or two, but she refused to show it to her in disgust, saying that it was a private message from a fan to her.
"Do you have to reply to every private message from your fans?"
"Of course, after all, they are supporting me, so I must reply seriously."
Ah Ling's reply must be very cute. She is the kind of person who keeps emoticons when chatting with her, and she likes to use all kinds of happy, angry, sad, happy and silly expressions.
The way he talks is very cute.
Maybe you will be happy being her fan?
After all, there are really not many idols who can seriously reply to letters one by one...
The slowly moving bus drove out of the hill and left Banqiao District on the downhill slope, passing more than a dozen stations along the way.
When driving onto a road in a residential area, I looked out the window and saw that the surrounding buildings and trees with branches extending out were so close that it seemed like I could reach out and touch the stone walls of the residential area.
This is a very wonderful experience. When I look at my sister next to me, she has put down her mobile phone, her head is half hanging, and she is sleeping weakly.
"Didn't you wake up last night?"
As the bus turned to the left, Kanbaru Suzu staggered and fell in his direction. After holding on for several rounds, she couldn't hold on any longer and fell on Kanamehara's lap.
In her drowsy consciousness, Kanbaru Suzu subconsciously planned to get up, but after she spotted it was Kanbaru Raku, she fell on him and fell asleep with peace of mind.
"What are you doing?"
"Sleep...let me lean against you for a while."
"...Wasn't I still an idiot Lele just now?"
"Who made me sleepy... Just let me lean on you for a while."
The moment he fell down, he realized that it was him and fell back again. This was A Ling's reliance on him. Of course, Kambara also noticed this... He even raised his hand to move her position and put his hand on her.
On her back and head.
You can feel the breathing on her back with your left hand, and you can touch her hair that she just combed in the morning with your right hand.
......
I lent it to her for a while and the vehicle drove for more than ten minutes.
Kanbaru heard her voice calling him.
"Brother..." he shouted very quietly.
"Well, what?" Kanbaru Rakuya replied in a low voice.
"When I was little, I slept on your lap like this, right?"
"Yes, you like to lean against me like this every time you ride in the car. Now you want to recall your childhood?"
Kanbaru Suzu closed her eyes and smiled lightly on his lap: "No... I just remembered the time when I lay on your lap and asked you to feed me sweets... Suddenly I felt that time had passed.
So fast, so fast...so fast that people can’t bear to leave..."
There seems to be something hidden in Ah Ling's words.
After careful consideration, I still can’t figure it out.
"Do you remember this?"
"...Brother, you have to know that girls are naturally nostalgic...You have forgotten many things, and I can't forget them either."
Kanbaru Suzu suddenly lost her intention to continue talking, and she yawned lazily.
"Then... I'll keep my eyes open for a while. Remember to wake me up if you need to change cars."
"Okay."
The journey lasted about half an hour, and not long after A Ling started squinting again, Kanbaru took her to the next bus.
This girl is very peaceful when she wants to sleep or not, and she jumps around when she wakes up.
She had to insist on going to the convenience store on the street in the city to buy a bag of potato chips for her.
"Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied! Hehe, how about you feed me later."
"That's a good idea." Kambara replied the same way.
Afterwards, he transferred to the tram. Kanbaru pulled the ring and after two stops, he saw Tianhai Qimingyue and Tianhai Jiuliuli standing on the edge of the platform.
They wear the same school uniforms, skirts and shoes as A Ling.
Tianhai Jiuliuli also saw the two of them on the platform outside, and she smiled normally at Kanbaru Raku on the train.
Because when I see Jiuliuli, I always feel a little awkward.
After the tram stopped, the two sisters got on.
Because there was no place for them, they were naturally pushed to their side by the crowd.
"Good morning, brother."
"Good morning."
Qi Qi also said good morning, and Kambara naturally said good morning back.
Nothing more was said after that.
Tianhai Jiuliuli has been observing secretly Kamanyuan Le and found that he is still very indifferent to her.
Originally, I got along very well with my brother. We all ate together at home, spent every day together peacefully, and occasionally called my brother to come to the room to play games together.
But now, it has actually reached the point where it is embarrassing to meet each other.
Tianhai Jiuliuli knew it was her fault...so while feeling guilty, she also wanted to redeem herself.
"Brother, if you need help with your club's recent problems, I can help...the club doesn't accept many people recently."
"Do you know about this?"
"Well, I've been paying attention recently. I learned about it from Mr. Miyasaka... She contacted me because of your withdrawal from the club... It's just that I haven't had the chance to talk to you recently... Email,
Brother, you probably won’t read it either.”
"Want to help me?"
"Yeah." Tianhai Jiuliuli nodded.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have already found the club, so I don't need to trouble you too much."
"..."
Tianhai Jiuliuli could hear the alienation in his words, but she was not discouraged, but smiled and asked:
"What department did my brother join?"
"Music club." Kanbaru replied casually.
"Music club, what musical instrument does brother plan to learn?"
"I haven't decided yet, so I went to check it out yesterday and wrote an application for joining the ministry."
Tianhai Jiuliuli nodded, seeing that he didn't mean to talk more, and didn't bother him too much.
When the tram arrived at the station, Kanbaru Raku and A Ling got off first. After leaving the platform, they came to the turning point on the uphill road leading to the school's ginkgo tree, and Tianhai Jiuliuli chased after her.
Here we go again?
However, since he chose not to respond to her emotionally, Kambara Raku would still give her a chance to talk to him as a friend and an inescapable sworn brother and sister.
"This is for you."
She took out a lunch box from her schoolbag.
When Kanbaru Suzu saw this scene, she chose to turn her head behind Kanbaru Suzu and not look at it.
"..." Kanbaru looked at the things she was holding in her hands, then looked at her again, "Actually, there's no need to do this."
Tianhai Jiuliuli held up the bento with both hands: "Isn't this... a way to express good feelings? Since my brother and I are friends and sworn brothers and sisters, then it's not too much for me to make a bento and give it to my brother, right?"
/p>
Kanbaru Suzu was on the other side and heard this sentence.
Tianhai Jiuliuli's voice is very gentle, just like her personality, which has always been gentle.
"This is for you, brother."
She handed over the bento in her hand again.
"..."
Kagura Raku was silent.
In her initial state, Kanbaru Raku would really not want to ignore her... and would even stay away from her in the face of her apology.
This is more or less the temper of a child, an immature temper.
As for now——
Kagura shook his head and refused: "Sorry, I won't accept it."
"Brother, don't you want it?"
"No, I said, I have reasons to reject your feelings."
Behind them, Amami Nanamiyue turned around after seeing Kanbaru rejecting the breakfast that her sister had made early in the morning. She crossed her arms and refused to look at this scene.
The scene at this moment is very strange.
Four people.
Two people face each other, two people back to back.
After Tianhai Jiuliuli heard this, he didn't show any unhappiness on his expression. Instead, he took back the bento he had made normally, then picked up the shoulder bag with both hands and looked at Kambara Le again. p>
Her long flaxen hair hangs down past her shoulders and spreads out at the back in a smooth and natural way.
"Well, I understand. If brother needs it, you can tell me at any time and I can send it to you."
Deliver lunches in person?
"...There's no need for this."
"It's nothing. My brother did this to me before... So, I won't bother my brother anymore. Qi Mingyue and I will go to the classroom first and we will have a morning meeting later."
"Well, you are busy with your business."
After being rejected, Tianhai Jiuliuli politely bowed and left.
Tianhai Qimingyue, who had exactly the same face, also followed him, and glanced at Kambaraku when he passed by.
She did not speak, but followed her sister in front, and then reached out to hold her arm.
......
Kanbaru Suzu put down her hands and faced her brother who was much taller than herself again: "Why don't you accept it?"
"Jiu Liuli said she wanted to pursue me, so I can naturally regard her advances as pursuit and then reject her."
Kanbaru Suzu stared into his eyes, then turned her head away and lowered her voice and said, "Brother, you actually feel uncomfortable rejecting Jiu Liuli like this."
"No way, I should refuse."
"...Others don't know you Lele, don't I know? A gentle guy to death, a central air conditioner... When Jiuliuli was rejected and took back his hand, you obviously hesitated
Already...
"You must have thought of how she felt when she was rejected... She worked hard to make bento for others and was rejected... It is precisely because of this that you hesitate!"
"..." Kanbaru was quiet for two seconds at first, "I'm not gentle. Look at those gangsters who made trouble for Xiao Lin before. His hands were so twisted that he was hospitalized."
"That's for outsiders. You have already said that you will only be kind to your family members...and before, you did treat Jiuliuli and Qi Mingyue as family members, and so did I..." p>
As Kanbaru Suzu spoke, she lowered her voice again and murmured, "Although sometimes I really don't like these two foxes, there was a time when we all got along very well, and I regarded them as family members.
.....
"But - oh, it's so annoying. Why does my head get so frizzy when I think about it?"
Kanbaru understands A Ling's mood.
She is also very complicated now, just as complicated as she is now.
Having said that, I have to laugh at myself.
Hahaha, talk about calmness, it’s so boring.
The things I have experienced before, my own personality, these things add up to make things impossible for me to be normal.
When facing Jiuliuli and Qimingyue, my mood will be extremely contradictory and complicated.
Saying that letting go is easy.
But when faced with it, no one can easily let go of this emotion...
......
How should we deal with this matter?
After the morning class, Kanbaru Raku still hadn't figured out this problem... He went to the cafeteria with Fujino and Nishijima to eat. After queuing up and ordering the meal, he realized that he didn't bring his wallet.
The cashier and the students behind were all waiting in line for him.
"Swipe mine, swipe mine." When Fujino Yoshiyuki found out, he took out his restaurant card at the counter while holding the dinner plate.
Afterwards, the three of them found a seat and sat down.
"Kanahara, class leader, have you agreed to join the music club?"
Kanbaru used tachyons to pinch off the meatballs on the plate, "I went to the music club yesterday to see the atmosphere there. It's really good. It's better to describe it as mutual encouragement and a positive attitude."
Nishijima Ohgi took a bite of the barbecued pork in his ramen and said: "The various clubs in Akita Junior High School, especially the sports clubs, are very competitive, and impatience is inevitable, especially in the boys' clubs.
"Girls are much more harmonious here, especially in literary and artistic clubs. Colleges and universities must have a lot of famous ladies, and girls all learn from them. As for boys of the same status, they also prefer literary and artistic clubs. As for
Sports clubs...most of them recruit special students."
"When Kanbara went to the music club yesterday, did you think the atmosphere inside was particularly high-end?"
Kanbaru thought for a while: "That's right... No matter the classroom or musical instruments, I can hear the music playing inside the building as soon as I get close to it."
Nishijima Ohgi explained: "The music club and the general club are not in the same building. The original intention of this is to facilitate management, but this is the school's official approach. As for whether there are other reasons behind it, I can only say that there must be
."
To sum up, there are two sides to the student club of Mingde School.
It represents the literary and artistic club representing the famous plutocrats, and the sports club representing ordinary special admissions students.
As for the Game Club and the Strongest Man Club that we met yesterday, they are more like things sandwiched between these two clubs.
We are weak against both sides.
Even though everyone seems friendly on the surface, if you know the identity of the other person, you have to consider whether you should say hello or not.
Nishijima Ohgi raised his head: "So, Kanbaru, do you know why you couldn't join the club yesterday?"
Kagura Raku: "Because of Jiuliuli's special status in the school, anyone saw that I had too much contact with her. Someone secretly caused a stumbling block?"
"Well, that's pretty much what it means."
Fujino Yoshiyuki seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, a person came to the entrance of the student restaurant.
It seems that he came here for them.
Nishijima Ohgi reminded: "That should be a third-year senior, someone from the student union."
"You're not here to cause trouble," Fujino Yoshiyuki guessed.
However, the reality was not what the two of them thought. When the third-year senior came to Kambara Raku, the first thing he did was to bend down and apologize:
"Kamihara-san, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have posted that kind of thing on the campus forum, nor should I have greeted the heads of several clubs and told them not to let you join. I'm really, really sorry!"
After saying that, this guy, whom Kanbaru didn't even recognize, bowed ninety degrees.
You must know that this is the canteen at noon. Not to mention there are many students, but there are also teachers eating here.
Apologizing in public is undoubtedly making the crime public.
Worse than social death.
?
Apparently neither Fujino nor Nishijima expected this step.
On the contrary, Kanbaru sensed something and subconsciously searched for someone in the entire restaurant. He didn't spend much time, and soon saw Tianhai Qimingyue sitting in the upper right corner of the restaurant, eating with Jiu Liuli. p>
Everyone in the entire restaurant looked at me, and the person next to me who was apologizing was the only one who was still eating like a normal person.
The next second, the screen of Kanbaru's mobile phone placed on the dining table lit up.
He lowered his head and looked at the phone.
A message popped up on line.
The contact name is Tianhai Qimingyue.
[Don’t get me wrong, this guy just collected information about my sister casually and asked him to apologize. Unexpectedly, he also apologized for your matter.]
[As for whether you believe it or not, that is your own business.]
