The girl under the cherry blossoms, her smile is like a flower

Hazuki Yuka was scrubbing her muddy socks, while Qing Gongfeng stood aside and held an umbrella for her.

I washed it several times, but it still left marks. I had to go back and add laundry detergent to clean it.

"Don't rush to put it on yet, there's still some on your legs." Qing Gongfeng handed over two tissues.

The calf socks were made of silk and were very breathable, which caused mud and water to seep into the calf skin.

"Oh, alright."

Hazuki Yuka hurriedly took the paper towel, soaked it with water, and leaned down to wipe it.

Her calves have beautiful lines and her skin is very fair. She looks very good when doing this action.

"It's almost time. Put on your socks and let's go. The director and Mr. Tsurukawa are probably waiting impatiently."

Qing Gongfeng thought about the anxious appearance of Chiyo Hanashanin, but this situation was basically impossible to happen. If the cold-hearted minister suddenly became anxious, then Qing Gongfeng had reason to doubt whether the earth was going to be destroyed.

"...I'm sorry, Kiyomiya-san." Yuka Hazuki clutched her socks, her long hair covering her eyes.

"Why are you apologizing again?" Qing Gongfeng asked.

"I'm really sorry for delaying Qinggong-san's time and letting Qinggong-san get wet in the rain."

Hazuki Yuka bowed towards Qing Gongfeng. She noticed that Qing Gongfeng was wet because she had held an umbrella for her just now.

"I'm not...forget it, let's wait until you put on your socks."

The girl is really too sensitive inside, and she has some low self-esteem. She always looks down on herself and speaks in a low voice for fear of disturbing others.

This cannot be explained in a short time. It is better to walk and talk, and it will take a long time anyway.

As for the Buchou-sama, let her and Mr. Tsurukawa stare at each other first. An angel and a devil, who knows what kind of sparks they can create.

Qing Gongfeng once again supported Hazuki Yuka's arm, and she began to put on her socks.

The atmosphere became slightly stagnant.

"Let's go."

"...Hmm." Hazuki Yuka nodded slightly, and she followed him, her movements slow and stiff.

Is Kiyomiya-san going to hate himself?

Are you disliked by him?

Are you going to be disliked by Kiyomiya-san who is warm in the sun and has a nice smile?

......

Also, it is normal for someone like me, such a troublesome person, to be hated.

Qinggong classmate has helped me so much, but I only cause trouble, again and again...

He looks average, has a troublesome personality, and can't speak. Sure enough, it's normal to be hated...

Will Qing Gong-san still talk to me in the future?

Can you still hear him calling me 'Miss Orange Cat'?

Can you still see him smiling to yourself?

No chance...

No chance...

Already, no chance.

......

But in my heart...

So sad...so sad...

My eyes are starting to get sore...

No, you can't raise your head. If you are seen, you will cause trouble for Kiyomiya-san...

Hazuki Yuka lowered her head, holding the skirt tightly in her hands.

After walking for a while, Hazuki Yuuka remained silent, while Qing Gongfeng was organizing words in his mind. He was almost reaching the club activity building. It was not an option to continue like this, and there was simply not enough time.

Qing Gongfeng grabbed Hazuki Yuka's clothes.

"Let's go this way."

"...Huh?" Hazuki Yuka raised her head slightly, then quickly lowered her head after seeing the direction clearly.

"Let's not go to the club now. Hazuki-san's matters are more important."

Hazuki Yuuka's body stagnated for a moment, and then she followed Qing Gongfeng obediently back in the direction.

It was raining, and there were only two of them in the huge stadium.

It would definitely look more romantic if they held an umbrella together.

But they were not lovers, and the atmosphere was not warm, but rather sluggish.

"Yue Yue-san, let me apologize to you first. I'm sorry." Qing Gongfeng said seriously.

"Qing, Qinggong-san, why do you want to apologize? It's all because of me..." Her voice sounded strange.

"No, Hazuki-kun, listen to me first," Qing Gongfeng interrupted her, his tone was gentle, and Hazuki Yuka calmed down after listening, but still did not raise her head.

"What I said just now was not to urge Hazuki-san to leave quickly, nor did I think that Hazuki-san was troublesome. I even wanted to stay here a little longer to see if the minister would be impatient to wait."

"You also know the character of Mr. Buchou. She is usually expressionless, so I want to see her with emotions. Although I may not be able to escape a lecture, but I have Hazuki-san with me, Mr. Buchou. I’ll show mercy.”

He walked and talked, circling around the stadium.

"...So, Kiyomiya-san...doesn't hate me?"

"Hate you?! How could it be!" The voice of this sentence was a bit loud, because Qing Gongfeng said it with wide eyes.

"Hazuki-san is so cute, has a good personality, and is caring. How can I hate her? Rather, I am very happy to be friends with Hazuki-san."

"...Really?" Hazuki Yuka is very unconfident. How cute is she? She looks ordinary, doesn't know how to dress up, is a local girl, and has a troublesome personality.

"Of course, didn't Hazuki-san want to know what eye contact the Buchou-sama and I were having at noon?"

"...Um, may I know?"

"Actually, I'm a little embarrassed to say it. Hazuki-kun, just don't dislike me after hearing this."

"No." Hazuki Yuka shook her head and said forcefully.

Qing Gongfeng gritted his teeth and covered his face, "Today at noon, I looked at classmate Hazuki's legs several times, and I was caught by the minister. Then she threatened me with this. If I don't do what the minister said, she will To tell you this will discredit me."

After saying that, Qing Gongfeng exhaled, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and he was ready to face Hazuki Yuka's disgusted expression.

"My... legs?" Hazuki Yuka lowered her head.

"Yes, that's right. Hazuki-san used to wear knee socks, but today she changed to calf socks. They look very good, so I took a second look."

Qing Gongfeng was completely messed up. He had already said it anyway, so he was not afraid to say more.

The 16-year-old Qing Gongfeng is well-read, charming, and sincere...but he still can't resist such a big social death.

He was already too embarrassed to see Hazuki-san.

Goodbye, Miss Orange Cat.

"...What." Hazuki Yuka laughed.

Qing Gongfeng only dared to open one eye and look.

She finally raised her face, but her eyes were red, and there were unwiped tears on both sides of her cheeks, but the corners of her mouth were raised, her eyebrows were crooked, and her smile was like a beautiful cherry blossom blooming after the rain.

Smiles and tears, joy and sadness appear on the same face, like the first breath after the rain, youthful and moving.

Qing Gongfeng stared blankly for a moment.

If there are a few memories in life that can be remembered forever, Yuka Hazuki’s tear-stained smile would definitely be among them.

"...Hazuki-san doesn't hate me?" The same words came out of Qing Gongfeng's mouth, but this was Qing Gongfeng's true thoughts at this time.

"no."

Hazuki Yuka shook her head.

"You don't dislike me either?"

"how could be."

"Really?" Qing Gongfeng's other eye also opened.

"of course."

"Huh——" Qing Gongfeng took a long breath, "That's great, I thought Ye Yue-san was going to say that I was disgusting or something."

"It does make you feel sick if a boy keeps looking at your legs."

"Uh-huh -" Qing Gongfeng covered his chest and his expression became distorted.

"B-but if Kiyomiya-san is there, it'll be fine..."

When she said this, Yuka Hazuki's face turned as red as her eye circles.

"Yeah~" He felt comfortable again.

"In the future, in the future," Hazuki Yuka held the umbrella handle tightly with one hand, raised her face, and mustered up the courage to say like a confession: "I will always wear calf socks to show to Kiyomiya-san!"

"Ah, no... forget it," Qing Gongfeng was numb. He chose to accept the reality and enjoy it. "Wear white ones. I also like the lace socks I wore before."

"Hmm! I remember."

Hazuki Yuka blushed and nodded heavily, like a primary school student who was entrusted with a task by the teacher.

However, if a teacher really issues such a commission, please be sure to call the police.

"Let's go to the club. The director and Mr. Tsurukawa must be really impatient now."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the crows on the unknown branches had long since disappeared, but this did not affect the mood of the two of them, although there were still tears on Hazuki Yuka's face.

"Wipe your tears, otherwise the minister will see me and think I cried because I was bullied by Hazuki-san."

Qing Gongfeng handed over another tissue.

"It doesn't matter, I will explain it to Kiyomiya-san." Hazuki said as she wiped away her tears.

"how to explain?"

"Yeah - let's just say I cried because I thought Kiyomiya-san hated me."

"...Then the minister will say it more harshly." Qing Gongfeng felt a chill running down his spine just thinking about it.

"Then how should I explain it?" Hazuki Yuka asked, tilting her head.

"Hmm - Or maybe Hazuki-san encountered a monster on his way to the club. Although he was saved by the mighty and brave Kiyomiya-san, he was still scared to tears."

"Does the monster refer to the three seniors just now?"

"What a great idea. That monster has three different heads, and it sounds scary." Qing Gongfeng clapped his hands, thinking this was a great idea.

"Will Senior Sister Huashanyuan believe it?"

"I don't know whether you believe it or not, but I know that the Minister will definitely say this," Qing Gongfeng calmed down his expression and his voice became calmer. He was imitating the face and tone of Chiyo Hanazhanin, "Let's face the lie and think about it, Qing Gongfeng. .”

"Isn't this completely unbelievable?"

Hazuki Yuka covered her mouth and smiled.

"It's really difficult to deceive the Minister."

Qing Gongfeng spread his hands helplessly.

They looked at each other and laughed.

After walking to the comprehensive activity building and closing the umbrella, Qing Gongfeng called to Hazuki Yuka who was about to go upstairs.

"Student Ye Yue."

"Ok?"

Hazuki Yuka turned around, her eyes were still red, but there was a smile on her lips.

"We're friends, right."

"Yeah!" She nodded.

"It's okay for friends to trouble each other, right?"

"...Hmm!" Hazuki Yuka's eyes were shining.

"Friends don't get bored even if they trouble each other, right?"

"Yeah!" She clenched her fists, and her answer was particularly powerful.

"That's no problem, let's go."

Qing Gongfeng smiled and walked to her side.

"Ok!"

?

Opening the door of the tea club, as Qing Gongfeng expected, Nanami Tsurukawa was already sitting at the low table.

In fact, even without opening the door, you would know that Nanami Tsurukawa's black high-heeled shoes were neatly stacked outside.

"I'm sorry, it's Hazuki-san and I's turn to be on duty today, so we're a little late."

"It's okay, Qing Gong-san, sit down quickly." Nanami Tsurukawa stood up to greet him cordially, and at the same time winked at Qing Gong Feng. She stayed in this tea club for a few ten minutes, but Qing Gong Feng came.

After being a teacher for several years, Tsurukawa Nanami has never dealt with a student like Hanayamain Chiyo. Even sitting with her, Tsurukawa Nanami felt that she was a student for a moment, and Hanayamain Chiyo, who was elegantly drinking tea and reading, became a teacher.

Every time he spoke to someone, it was a big deal that Chiyo Hanazhanin could reply "hmm". Because of this, the atmosphere in the tea club was always awkward. Nanami Tsurukawa could only drink tea and drink tea non-stop.

How many drinks have you had?

Nanami Tsurukawa had lost count. She only knew that she was stretched out so much that her lower abdomen was bulging, and it was a bit uncomfortable just to maintain a sitting posture.

She regretted that she had promised Qing Gongfeng to come to the tea club at noon, and even more regretted that she came so early, and she did not expect Qing Gongfeng to come so late.

Ever since, Nanami Tsurukawa now saw Qing Gongfeng opening the door, and the light was behind him, like an angel saving her.

"Come on, come on." Qing Gongfeng was quite flattered. What kind of status could he have to make Lord Angel stand up and greet him.

Yuka Hazuki also walked in. Nanami Tsurukawa's welcoming words were on her lips, but after seeing Yuka Hazuki's red eyes, she swallowed them again, and her expression became serious.

"What's wrong, Hazuki-san?"

"No, it's okay, Mr. Tsurukawa." Yuka Hazuki's words were not convincing at all.

Tsurukawa Nanami turned his attention to Qing Gongfeng.

"Qingmiya-san, do you know?"

Naturally, Chiyo Hanazuki also saw the strange behavior of Hazuki Yuka, but when she noticed the joy in Hazuki Yuka's heart, she remained silent.

"I know," Qing Gongfeng nodded, his expression becoming serious.

Seeing Qing Gongfeng like this, Nanami Tsurukawa's face became more serious.

And Hazuki Yuka had already covered her mouth, she was afraid that she would suddenly laugh.

"On the way to the tea club, Hazuki-san was captured by a monster with three different heads. Although I bravely tried my best to save Hazuki-san, because the three-headed monsters looked really scary, Hazuki-san My classmates were still frightened and cried.”

After saying that, Qing Gongfeng nodded seriously to show that he was really serious and serious.

"...Huh?" Nanami Tsurukawa asked a big question mark.

And Hazuki Yuka had already laughed.

"Lies, go face the wall and think about your mistakes, Kiyomiya-san."

The cold words came out of Hanazhanin Chiyo's mouth, Qing Gongfeng responded excitedly, and at the same time, he didn't forget to return a look to Hazuki Yuka - you see, what I said is completely right.

Hazuki Yuka nodded and smiled even happier.

"Kiyomiya-san...Shiratori-sensei asked you to go to the health room again when you have time."

Tsurukawa Nanami said calmly.

"what?"

Qing Gongfeng, who was thinking about it, couldn't laugh anymore.

The words "calm mind, gentle words, clean body" above his head were shining brightly, as if they were about to hit the top of his head with a bang in the next second.

To show punishment.
