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

after school.

Qing Gongfeng and Rina came to the tea club, and Tsurukawa Nanami happened to be here too.

"Tsurukawa-sensei, good afternoon."

Several people greeted each other and sat in their seats. Qing Gongfeng also sat in front of the low table.

"The voting results will come out soon, I don't know what the result will be."

Tsurukawa Nanami rubbed her fingers against the smooth teacup, feeling a little worried.

She was talking about the literary club's submission event. The online voting deadline is today at five o'clock in the afternoon. Every student in Nanamori Academy can vote once every day. Counting Friday afternoon, each person has four votes, but the manuscript is Anonymous, the vote count can only be seen after the deadline.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tsurukawa, the strength of the Tea Club is worthy of your trust."

Qing Gongfeng was not worried at all. He had read all the previous issues of the school magazine and found that the level was indeed good, but a little worse than theirs. If there was no shady story, the first place would definitely belong to the Tea Art Club.

But as for the shady story, it is unlikely that Tsurukawa Nanami, one of the organizers of this event, is here.

"Yeah." Nanami Tsurukawa sipped the black tea. On a hot day, drinking hot tea in an air-conditioned room had a different feeling.

"Teacher Tsurukawa, aren't you worried that after the voting results come out, the literary and artistic society will never recover?" Qing Gongfeng asked.

"...Huh? I never thought of this," Nanami Tsurukawa shook his head, "They won't be so fragile."

"But quarreling over the school magazine shows that they still value this opportunity to appear. If they don't get a good ranking, they may not only complain about the Tea Club, but also the other faction."

"Complaining? But if you didn't get a good ranking, shouldn't you look for your own reasons?"

Yuka Hazuki couldn't help but ask.

"Yuhua-chan is too innocent!" Rina pulled Hazuki Yuka and whispered, "Let me tell you, Yuhua-chan, I have met such a person in the studio before..."

Rina tells Hazuki Yuka the past.

Qing Gongfeng was stroking the rose petals sandwiched in the pages of the book, glanced at Hanazhanin Chiyo, and said.

"A narcissistic person can't listen to anything but compliments, and an incompetent person can only blame others but not himself."

Tsurukawa Nanami became worried again. The best result she originally thought was to let the two factions of the literary society disband and restore literary freedom. The next best thing was to let the two factions coexist peacefully. But now it seems that after this event, there is really It may make the relationship worse.

It cannot be said that even if nothing is done, the relationship between the two factions will only get worse, and if it is done, it may turn around.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

"Excuse me, is Mr. Tsurukawa here?"

A gentle voice came in.

"Himeki-san?" Nanami Tsurukawa stood up.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Tsurukawa," the girl who knocked on the door slowly walked in, "I want to discuss the submission activity with you, but I just went to the teacher's room and didn't find you, so I thought Mr. Tsurukawa might be here. .”

This is a girl who looks very gentle and speaks in a gentle voice. She must be the president of the literary club. She does seem to fit the image of a good old lady.

"Himeki-san, please sit down, and there is tea."

Hanayamain Chiyo made a cup of tea for him.

"Excuse me, Mr. Hanashanyin."

The girl named Himeki-san is sitting down and bowing slightly to Hanazhanin Chiyo.

"Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Haruna Himeki, the president of the literary club."

Tsurukawa Nanami introduced the three first-year students.

"Good afternoon, Himeki-senpai."

"Good afternoon everyone, I'm Haruna Himeki."

After a brief introduction, the tea club fell into a brief silence.

"Tsurukawa-san, I feel that after the voting results come out, Mizutani-san and Yoshida-san will have another quarrel."

Himeki Haruna's smile was a little bitter.

"They, hey..."

Nanami Tsurukawa was also troubled by this, and she had even thought about what the scene would be like.

"Since we can't get together, why not just separate, like the painting department did."

A few years ago, in the painting club, several seniors wanted to sell the books they sold at the cultural festival, but they were rejected by their seniors. So the seniors angrily quit the club and led all male members to establish the comics club.

"The school magazine is published by the school's designated literary and art club. If a separate branch is established, this faction will directly lose this channel. Therefore, no one from either faction is willing to withdraw from the literary and art club. Instead, they will try their best to force the other party to leave."

Himeki Haruna answered Kiyomiya Kaede's question.

"I see."

Qing Gongfeng nodded.

"Then if other students want to publish articles in the school magazine, they have to submit their articles to the literary club?"

he asked again.

"That's right, the Literary and Art Society is responsible for a series of processes such as manuscript receipt, review, error correction, typesetting, and publication."

"Senior Himemu, what if there is a problem of favoritism?"

"Favoritism..." Himeki Haruna replied in a serious but still gentle voice, "I can only try my best to ensure that this will not happen, but I have no say in the submissions within the literary club."

"If the situation is really as serious as you say, Himeki-senpai, then I feel it is almost impossible to get them together."

Qing Gongfeng poured cold water on him.

"Yeah, I understand that."

"When the voting results come out, if nothing else happens, the first place will appear in our tea club. I am very confident about this." Qing Gongfeng folded his arms and analyzed.

"The good thing is that when the two factions of the literary and art society see the emergence of a common enemy, not to mention sharing the same hatred and hatred, they will settle down for a while and concentrate on polishing their articles."

"The worst case scenario is that the two factions blame each other and blame each other for holding back, and the quarrel further expands. At this time, more radical methods need to be adopted."

Except for Chiyo Hanazhanin, several other people looked at him.

"Of course, I haven't figured out the radical way yet."

Qing Gongfeng spread his hands.

"..."

They were speechless for a moment.

Seeing that several people looked back, Qing Gongfeng continued to immerse himself in reading.

In fact, he knew the radical method early on, but whether it was implemented or not would depend on the specific situation.

Besides, don’t you see that the Minister is not anxious at all? There must be a better way.

The minister is not in a hurry, why should I, a junior member, be in a hurry?

Read a book, read a book.

The atmosphere in the tea club became calm again.

After drinking the tea, Himeki Haruna stood up and bowed to everyone. Even though she was worried, her voice was still gentle, and just like her name, it felt like spring.

"Everyone, I'm going back first. The atmosphere of the Tea Club is very good. I really like it."

Tsurukawa Nanami also stood up.

"I'll go back with Himeki-san."

The two of them walked out of the club room under the eyes of everyone in the Tea Club.

"Is this a big society? It sounds scary."

Rina patted her chest, looking scared.

"Rina's painting department has a lot of people."

Qing Gongfeng remembered that the painting department had at least two large departments including the Tea Club.

"But everyone in the painting department is very nice. This kind of problem has never happened before."

"That's true, I saw it last time."

Qing Gongfeng has been to the painting department many times, and he can probably remember the names of the girls there.

"I remember Hazuki-san wanted to join the literary club."

"Yeah, but there were too many people in the literary and art club, so I didn't submit the application form."

Hazuki Yuka wrapped her fingers around the end of her hair, feeling a little embarrassed.

"It's a good thing Yuuka-chan didn't join the art club, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten to know Yuuka-chan."

"Rina-chan..."

The two girls held hands and looked at each other, their eyes full of emotion.

Ah, two cute girls posting together is really interesting.

Qing Gongfeng was immersed in this beautiful scene.

If the Minister also joins in...

One black knee-high socks, one white lace socks, one black stockings...

Qing Gongfeng couldn't even imagine how wonderful that scene would be.

"Kiyomiya-san, saliva."

"Ah, okay."

Qing Gongfeng wiped his mouth subconsciously, but there was nothing. He looked at Huashanyin Chiyo and asked.

"What's the point of spitting? Mr. Minister."

"I just said saliva, I didn't say it was yours."

After taking a sip of tea, Hanayamain Chiyo answered unhurriedly.

"Mr. Minister, you are enforcing the law on fishing."

Qing Gongfeng followed suit and took a sip angrily, but the words of the two girls made him almost spit out the tea he drank.

"Brother Feng laughed so disgustingly just now..."

"...Well, there are some."

"what?"

He looked to the side, but the girl who was still posting was already far away from him at some point. Even when Qing Gongfeng went to look, they retreated silently.

"Rina? Hazuki-san?"

Qing Gongfeng asked.

"..."

They didn't answer and moved their eyes to the other side.

"My lord?"

Qing Gongfeng looked at the culprit of everything - Hanazhanin Chiyo.

“A narcissistic person cannot listen to anything but compliments.”

She said looking at the book.

"..."

So familiar.

Qing Gongfeng remembered that when he said this just now, he glanced at Hanazhanin Chiyo, but he didn't expect that his dear minister would be so vindictive!

Qing Gongfeng took the book and returned to his seat, with the words "Quiet Heart, Words Light, Body Clean" shining brightly above his head.

?

It's five o'clock.

The voting results have been announced, and several people turned on their mobile phones to log on to the school's website.

First place: "Autumn Maple", author: Chiyo Hanazhanin, total votes: 251 votes

Second place: "Summer Leaves", author: Qing Gongfeng, total votes: 250 votes

Qing Gongfeng raised his head with confusion on his face.

He 250?

Mr. Minister 251?

Just one vote short?

"Mr. Minister, you..."

He hesitated.

"Ok?"

A cold gaze shot over.

"Ah, it's alright."

Qing Gongfeng seriously suspected that the minister was manipulating everything behind the scenes, and then took the opportunity to curse himself. Hanazhanin Chiyo has a deep understanding of Chinese knowledge and should know what two hundred and five means.

He continued to look down.

Third place: "Star", author: Haruna Himeki, total votes: 125 votes

Fourth place: "Moonlight Night", author: Yuka Hazuki, total votes: 118 votes

Fifth place: "Spring", author: Rina Asai, total votes: 118 votes

"It's not bad, four of the top five tea clubs account for it."

Qing Gongfeng said with a smile, this would give him more confidence. People in the literary and art club must feel that they can't keep it on their faces now.

"I cheated to get such results."

Rina was a little ashamed. The article she wrote had been changed a lot.

"It's not cheating, because it didn't say you couldn't do it. Others must have revised it many times before submitting it."

Qing Gongfeng shook his head and said.

"But Hanashanyuan-senpai and Kiyomiya-san are so good. The votes are so high, and there is only one vote difference."

Yuka Hazuki sighed as she looked at Chiyo Hanazhanin next to her and Kaede Kiyomiya by the window.

"Read more books."

Hanayamain Chiyo has no modesty at all.

"Well, the Minister is right."

Qing Gongfeng also nodded.

I read a lot, and sometimes I don’t need to think about it, and good sentences will come to the paper by themselves.

While chatting, he picked up his cell phone and sent a message to Nanami Tsurukawa, asking about the situation at the literary club.

But with the teacher there, there probably won't be any quarrel, but once Nanami Tsurukawa leaves, the situation will be difficult to say.

After all, Nanami Tsurukawa is a Chinese language teacher and a class teacher. She has to do more than just prepare lessons. She is also very busy and will definitely not stay in the literary club all the time.

The news came back quickly.

[Tsurukawa Nanami: The current situation is not very good. 】

Qing Gongfeng closed the phone and stood up.

"I'm going to Mr. Tsurukawa's place to check on the situation. You guys need to rest here for a while and I'll report back to you later."

He looked relaxed.

"Brother Feng, let's go with you." Rina said firmly.

"Well, we are a group."

Yuka Hazuki clenched her fists.

"Ah? Why are you acting like I'm going to do something dangerous?" Qing Gongfeng was a bit dumbfounded, "Tsurukawa-sensei is still over there, can they still fight in front of Tsurukawa-sensei?"

"I'm just checking out the basic situation there. I'm like an intelligence agent. I'll be back soon. It's not time to duel with the literary club yet, so don't worry."

"Duel? Will there be a fight then?"

Yuka Hazuki asked with some fear.

"Of course we won't fight or anything like that. We are high school students with excellent academic performance, not bad boys."

Qing Gongfeng waved his hand and walked to the door. Unexpectedly, Chiyo Hanashanyuan also stood up at this time.

The three people's eyes fell on her cold face.

"Mr. Minister, there is no need to go with me."

Qing Gongfeng looked sincere.

"Ok?"

Hanayamain Chiyo took the kettle and walked to the place where the water was received.

"...Oh, it's okay, I'll take the first step." Qing Gongfeng cleared his throat, a little embarrassed.

He mentally slapped himself.

Qing Gong Feng, Qing Gong Feng! You still don’t know what your status is in the Tea Society? When did you have this illusion?

Idiot, Idiot, I escaped the three major delusions in life, but I didn't expect to end up here.

Qing Gongfeng covered her face and walked out of the tea club.

He persuaded himself in his heart.

No embarrassment or embarrassment, the great poet Rabindranath Tagore once said, "Honour shames me because I secretly seek it."

......

No, no, it's not this sentence, it should be "If you shed tears when you miss the sun, then you will also miss the stars."

Yes, that's it. If you are embarrassed now because of this little thing, you will definitely suffer like this in the future. Then when will you grow?

Remember your goal, Qing Gongfeng.

The person you are today will always be more amazing than the person you were yesterday. This embarrassment is nothing, it will only make you more amazing.

Think of Gatsby, like him, wearing a gold hat and jumping higher.

This is nothing to be ashamed of.

The crimson sunset fell on the corridor, and the flowing clouds were dyed with color. Qing Gongfeng felt that his attitude towards life was more correct.

But he won't tell it, which is equally important.

In this way, Qing Gongfeng is still on a great road today.
