In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 183 The July Sports Festival (3)

The referee teacher with a red whistle on his chest held up his musket, and more than a dozen female runners on the track started in a standing posture.

"Get in place—ready—3! 2! 1!"

boom!
"run!"

"Come on, come on, come on!!"

Hanabi is a very useless person.
It has been hated by people since a long time ago.

Everyone says that Huahuo always looks weak and weak in everything she does. She doesn't like to talk and is very dull. Standing next to her will be very annoying.

Anytime is redundant.

"Why are you squatting here?"

This is the first sentence Huahuo said to Huahuo many days after meeting Kai-kun.

The little girl huddled in the corner and hugged the ball lowered her head and didn't respond or look at him.

He just curled up his weak body even tighter, and there was a red scar on his forehead.

"Everyone doesn't seem to like you."

He looked at her.

"Well, it's really not very good-looking. It's a little fatter, and the color of the eyes is also weird."

When the little girl heard what he said, she buried her head deeper and lower, covering her face and eyes with a leather ball.

Children of the same age are playing in the park not far away, among which the slide is the most popular. When landing from a high place along the smooth path, it is full of children's joy and laughter.

Despite her ignorance, she also knew she was not welcome.

The injury on his forehead was just hit by the ball by the boy who stood tallest on the slide and had the happiest smile.

"I hate you! Go away!"

What was rare was that she didn't immediately burst into tears like she used to.

Instead, he lowered his head alone, sobbing silently as he watched the red ball rolling down and gradually stopped at his feet.

She just wants to find a friend to play with.

"Speaking of which, it's been eleven days since you moved next door to my house, right?"

"I'm also a little curious. Every time your mother brings you to visit at my house, you hold a doll. Do you like sharks?"

The little girl didn't respond to two consecutive inquiries, but just covered her face in front of him.

Uesugi Kai stretched out his hand, trying to put it on her young shoulder.

"Don't! Don't touch the fireworks!" The little girl kept avoiding his hand, her body pressed against the cold wall.

In the end, it seemed that there was no room left, and she raised the ball in front of her with both hands.

Her voice is very thin and small, which is not pleasant for her peers.

Kai Uesugi withdrew his evaded hand and sat beside her.

"We are neighbors, do you know what a neighbor is?"

"..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. Anyway, as long as you take two steps at the door of your new home, turn left, and see a place with a pot of white lilies, that's my home."

Time passed by.

Kaoru Uesugi waited patiently for her response, but she didn't hear her voice after a long time.

Just as he was about to continue talking, the small, unpleasant voice came from the head inside the ball:

"What do lilies look like?"

Uesugi Kai couldn't help smiling at her:

"What does it look like? It's hard for me to describe it. In short, it's very clean and white, with occasional yellow stamens and green leaves."

"If you want to grow a pot of flowers, there are actually many troubles."

Seeing that she still didn't want to respond too much, he continued to talk incessantly.

From the moment I bought this flower, planted it, pruned the leaves and accidentally cut it to the flower body, and it was about to die until it bloomed quietly last night.

The little girl has been hiding behind the ball, and has been listening to his words that sound powerful, but she can't understand.

"Anyway, you can see it when you get home."

The little girl glanced at him secretly, found his smile, and quickly covered her ugly face.

"Oi Oo-kun, don't you hate Hanabi?"

"Know my name?"

The little girl didn't have any confidence in her voice, so she only uttered a short nasal sound:

"Ah."

She actually wanted to say that she could remember the names of every student in the class.

My mother told her that the most important thing in making friends is to remember the other person's name.

But she worked hard to memorize the roster in the class, and no one wanted to approach her.

Whether it's Natsumi-chan, Tomoki-chan, Harina-chan, Risa-chan, Taidou-kun, Minchun-kun, Chishin-kun or Kensaku-kun, it's all the same.

Curled up in the corner, the little girl hugged the ball tightly in her arms, and said in a low voice:
"Kai, Kai-kun should also stay away from Hanabi, Hanabi loves to cry, her voice is ugly and she looks ugly... Staying with Hanabi will also be hated by everyone..."

"Shh."

Uesugi Kai smiled and stretched out his index finger to his mouth, "Although it's a bit clumsy, remember to come to my house to see the flowers this afternoon."

"This is the first agreement between Xiao Hanabi and Kai-kun, understand?"

His smile, his voice, Hanabi had never encountered before.

He had only spoken a few words with him obviously, but he felt at ease with himself.

Apart from Mom and Dad, this is the first time Hanabi has felt the warmth.

So, Hanabi...has always wanted to change herself.

"Come on! Come on!"

"Hn sauce hold on!"

"Hn! Hn! Hn!"

The scorching wind whizzed by my ears, and everything in my field of vision was distorted and deformed by the high temperature of the sun.

There were constant shouts of cheers and cheers for him, but his extremely tired head couldn't hear any words at all.

"You, do you think you can sit back and relax now?"

"It's useless. It's been useless all the time. What can you do? Just cook?"

"You have to know, one day he will get tired of eating, and one day he will be indifferent to your exquisite meals."

"Every day is a weak and dull look, what can you do to make him happy? With your pitiful look? He is just pitying you."

"The food you cook? Or is it the painting that no one cares about and you barely got the first place?"

"He doesn't like these things. After knowing each other for so long, don't you think he'll be bored with you too?"

"You will always be like this, nothing new, nothing new"

"What? Fiancée? Haha, stop joking, what if you are married? Are there still few divorces?"

"You just need to know that you've been useless and nothing will help him"

"It's useless, it's useless, it's useless"

"Not replying to messages? Hehe, it seems that you understand."

"If this goes on like this, he will soon hate you, I'll be waiting, Hua Huo~"

"Hu-hu-"

The pace is getting slower and slower, and the floating ankle can hardly bear the impact of the sneakers on the ground.

The senior sister in front is also getting farther and farther away from me.

The pain called uncomfortably knocked on the brain, and the dazzling brought by the lack of oxygen made everything cast a layer of bizarre ghosts.

Hanabi hates herself very much.

Just like the person said, it has been useless.

Zhao Jun looks very handsome in the competition, he can get the first place among the very good people, and he can get a lot of bonuses.

Hanabi knew that many girls liked him from a very early age.

Some of them are excellent, some are very sunny, and they look better than Huahuo at that time.

And Huahuo can only do some trivial things.

Huahuo has been working hard and always wanted to change herself.

Hanabi doesn't want Brother Kai to hate her...

People kept surpassing her, and she fell from second to fifth in a blink of an eye.

so many days of hard work.
Fireworks are still useless
"Hn! Hn! Hn!"

Everyone in the Fireworks Support Club called out her nickname in unison.

Under the big slogan, a group of people are waving and cheering.

Hearing everyone's encouragement, Hanamaru Hanabi gritted her teeth and followed the rhythm of the person in front of her.

Acting president Takahiro Tsubokawa, wearing a headscarf with the third generation written on it, stood under the banner.

Behind them are the guys from the support club.

"President! Why don't you shout."

"Go, go, take care of yourselves."

"President! Hn-chan seems to be suffering right now, her face is so red."

Takahiro Tsubokawa looked towards the runway, where contestants from five schools were all inside. He pushed his glasses and said:

"The front is running too fast, how can Hanamaru-san run with the rhythm of the ace of the Athletics Club of Sataka?"

"President, why don't you call Hn-chan."

"That's not the point." Tsubokawa, the third generation with a flying turban, turned around and said to them.

"That's right, those long black legs are very powerful at first glance, Hn is too reluctant, and now it is difficult to maintain speed."

"Why don't you give up."

"No way, this is the last lap."

"Of course the body is the most important thing. Are you a fan?"

"Why not! But for Hn-chan, it must also be important to stick to the goal."

Everyone in the support club rushed to speak first.

But Ping Chuan couldn't listen to a word, he turned and frowned and swept across the rows of spectators outside the runway.

That Uesugi guy, where did he go?

--------

Kaoru Uesugi, who had just helped the director of the Academic Affairs Office move things, found that he encountered a lot of things today.

The little beggar in a black skirt in front of him blocked himself again.

"Stop what I want to do?"

The mineral water bottle in his right hand glowed green under the refraction of the transparent leaves.

"Uesugi Kai!" Kitagawa Sakaki's tone was high at first, but quickly dropped, "You, you, you must apologize to me today..."

"I gave you the money, but you still need me to apologize?" Kai Uesugi just wanted to watch the firework competition.

"Who, who wants your money! I never said that..."

Kaoru Uesugi didn't feel cold about the guys who appeared in front of him one after another, and interrupted her directly:
"First, did you appear in front of me out of nowhere at that time?"

"So what's the matter, it's all you..."

"Second, did you run away from home?"

"How did you know."

"Third, were you very hungry at that time?"

"Even if I was very hungry at the time, you couldn't act like that..." Beichuan Sakaki's voice became smaller and smaller, and she sneaked glances at him from time to time.

Kai Uesugi took out his phone while talking, and glanced at the message Tsubokawa sent to him.

"Okay, don't talk to you weird guy, I have something to do, so I won't see you anymore."

Just as she staggered shoulders with her, the girl in the black dress turned around and took a step forward, grabbed his wrist, and said in words:
"wait wait wait……"

Uesugi Kai turned his head, the refracted sunlight suddenly gave him a glance, and narrowed his eyes.

Kitagawa Sakaki raised her head, looked at his face and bit her lip and asked, "Am I...very annoying?"

Uesugi Kai didn't want to get too entangled, so he shook off her hand and said coldly, "It's fine if you don't like it."

After speaking, he passed her and left.

Kitagawa Sakaki lowered her head and looked at her hand that was thrown away. The feeling of loss and loneliness fermented in her heart for a long time.

She hugged her legs and squatted under the swaying zelkova tree, burying her gauze-covered face.

"I just...wanted an apology..."

---------

On the other side, the player rest area of ​​Class [-], Grade [-].

Surrounded by the noise of classmates chatting.

Hanamaru Hanabi sat on the stool with her head down, her legs were sore, and her little head hadn't recovered from the lack of oxygen.

The dizziness continued to linger in front of my eyes.

"Hua Huo Jiang, don't get lost, No.3 is already pretty good."

Ayaka Riei, also in sportswear, came over and sat beside her and said that she finished sixth.

"The first two are from the Zao Gao Track and Field Department. They train every day. They were both very good marathon runners in the Tokyo Summer Games last year. It's normal that they can't compare."

"No, I'm not unhappy, it's just that my head is still a little dizzy." Hanamaru Hanabi said.

Ayaka Liying stared at her for a while: "Then sit down first, I'll get you a bottle of water."

"Ah."

Seeing her leave, Hanamaru Hanabi picked up the mobile phone that was on the table beside her.

After turning on the screen, her eyes stayed on the wallpaper of the two of them for a few seconds, and then clicked on the read line again.

"(picture)"

Inside, Kai Uesugi and a girl in a black dress she didn't know looked at each other, holding hands together.

"How about it, did I hit it off?"

"Deleting me is useless, this is not my problem, but your own problem."

"looking at what?"

When Hanamaru Hanabi heard the voice, she hurriedly hid her phone in a panic.

"No, nothing."

Kai Uesugi walked away from her ear, "Hanabi said nothing, so there is something."

Her bright purple eyes rolled and dodged.

"Is it because I didn't come to your game in time?"

Hanamaru Hanabi turned around and put the phone on her lap: "No, Hanabi is already very satisfied to see Kai-kun when I go back."

Ayaka Riei returned to the player lounge, just opened the door, paused, then turned and left.

The two people in the lounge turned their heads at the same time.

"Sorry, you've worked hard for so long, but I haven't even seen half of the game."

"Kai-kun, there is no need to apologize." Hanamaru Hanabi said without confidence.

The two fell silent again.

Uesugi found that her spirit was not very good, perhaps because she was too tired from long-distance running.

"Today, what do you want to eat?"

Hanamaru Hanabi squeezed the phone tightly with her small hand, the ring was secretly shining, and the photo was lingering in her mind.

Maybe it's really because I'm not good enough to please Mr. Zhao all the time.

Master Zhinu also hated herself, hated that she was bothering her on Qixi Festival, and hated the wish she made that day.

"Why didn't you speak?"

"Flowers."

Hanamaru Hanabi's voice was as small as ever, and confidence was something that had never existed for her.

"Kai-kun, it's normal to be bored with Hanabi..."

"Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

Uesugi took her little hand, knowing that her little inferiority complex had popped up again.

This is her shortcoming, and also her least likable place.

A lot of people get annoyed, think she shouldn't be so weak about everything, and treat her inferiority complex coldly.

But Kaoru Uesugi understands that the only thing to do at this time is to be patient with her.

If you show boredom towards her, she will just keep a lot of things in her heart.

Until I get sick, I don't want to bother others.

Xiao Huahuo also needed someone to comfort and help her extremely vulnerable heart since she was a child.
