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

After Qing Gongfeng and Hazuki Yuka walked into the tea club together, he remembered that he had not finished his lunch. After bidding farewell to the two of them, Qing Gongfeng returned the same way.

The light rain predicted by the Meteorological Agency finally fell, and the rain was woven into a thin cloth, covering the baseball field and the teaching and office buildings not far away. The white sky was filled with gray-black clouds.

At least for now, there is no hope of clearing up in the next few days, if nothing unexpected happens.

But even so, this rainy season that has lasted for more than 20 days will eventually come to an end. Maybe it will be next Friday, or it may be two days earlier, or three days later. In any case, the hot summer is coming, so The hot sunlight that curls the zelkova leaves is dormant behind the clouds.

Qing Gongfeng quickened his pace.

The feeling of raindrops falling on the skin is very comfortable, but it does not mean that it is the same when wearing soaked clothes. He started to jog, the wind passing behind his ears.

When we came to the atrium, two girls who were having lunch were sitting on the bench under the cherry tree in the middle. They put the lunch boxes on their laps and talked and laughed while eating. When they saw Qing Gong Kaede running over, they all He calmed down his expression very tacitly, and even his movements when eating were much smaller.

However, Qing Gongfeng did not look at them carefully, but a familiar figure on the other side attracted his attention.

It was Koike Hisae. Judging from her face, it was obvious that she was not in a good mood at this time.

Qing Gongfeng stopped her.

"Koike-san."

Koike Hisae, who was about to return to Class F, paused when she heard the sound. She turned her face and saw Qing Gongfeng waving to her, and walked over without thinking.

"Kyomiya-san, good afternoon, what can I do?"

Koike Hisae stood still, she flipped her hair, with a slight smile on her face. She was good at hiding her emotions.

"I have something to ask Xiaochi-san, why don't we go there first?"

"it is good."

The two of them came to the zelkova tree behind the teaching building one after another. Koike Hisae looked at this familiar place and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Qing Gongfeng accurately captured the emotion on her face and asked:

"Xiaoike-san didn't just come back from here, did he?"

"Well, someone stuffed this in my shoe cabinet this morning." She took out an envelope, just like the one Yuka Hazuki received.

With Koike Hisae's appearance, receiving a love letter is not a surprising thing, but when it happens at this juncture, it makes people think deeply.

"That person asked Mr. Xiaochi to meet here, but Mr. Xiaochi didn't meet him?" Qing Gongfeng asked.

"Huh? How did Kiyomiya-san know this?" Koike Hisae was a little confused. She handed the love letter in her hand to Kiyomiya Kaede, "But there is one thing Kiyomiya-san may have thought wrong. This is not a love letter."

"Not a love letter?"

Qing Gongfeng reached out and took it. After opening the envelope, there was a photo and a piece of letter paper inside. The scene in the photo was very familiar. It was after the tea club held a celebration party for Rina that day. Qing Gongfeng saw it in the car on the way back. That scene - a thin middle-aged man with stubble on his face stretched out his hand and asked Sister Xiaochi for money.

The photo was obviously taken secretly. The distance was not too far, and the expressions of the people above could be seen clearly. The man's arrogance and fearlessness, Koike Hisae's retreat and helplessness, and Koike Shizuko's expression was the calmest.

The letter read: In addition to photos, I also took videos here. If you don’t want these to be leaked, please come to the beech tree behind the teaching building before 12:25 noon today.

Naturally, you can’t tell anything from just a photo, but people’s imagination is unlimited. Coupled with the malice in some people’s hearts, they will make dark speculations. Coupled with the broken window effect and the herd effect, white people’s imagination is boundless. Maybe it can also be said to be black.

After packing the letter paper and photos and returning them, Qing Gongfeng was thoughtful.

"Something happened in Class F just now when Koike-san was away."

The rain wasn't heavy, and this zelkova tree was almost as lush as the cherry tree in the courtyard. A very small amount of raindrops could penetrate through the layers of zelkova leaves and fall onto the lawn below.

"Huh?" Koike Jiuzhi's narrow eyes flashed with confusion. She stared at Qing Gongfeng in front of her without blinking.

"Oda Koichiro confessed his love to Hazuki-san, and he was still in the class."

"...What?" Her eyes suddenly fluctuated. After just a few seconds, she figured out the stakes. "How is Yuhua now?"

Qing Gongfeng glanced in the direction of Class F in the teaching building, with no emotion in his eyes.

"Hazuki-san is having lunch at the Tea Club right now, but when I first arrived in Class B, she looked very bad and felt like she might faint at any time."

"Oda..."

The envelope was full of marks from her pinching, and a light flashed in Koike Hisae's fox-like eyes.

"Then there is no need to doubt the source of this letter."

"Get rid of the only resistance in this matter, Koike-san, and use the atmosphere to express your love to Hazuki-san. From Oda Koichiro's point of view, there is no reason for failure in this matter. He is very confident in his charm and methods. , and with the video taken as a deterrent, Xiaoike couldn’t do anything to him. Instead, he always had to worry about whether he would post the video online.”

Qing Gongfeng slowly began to analyze.

"I underestimated him," Koike Hisae smiled with disdain or anger, his eyes fell on Kaede Kiyomiya, "But Kiyomiya-san showed up at the right time, which should make that guy Oda depressed for a while."

"Judging from the information, Oda Koichiro is a very scheming person."

Kiyomiya Kaede told Koike Hisae about the story of Oda Koichiro and Takahashi that he saw from the information. It happened in junior high school. As members of the baseball club, Oda and Takahashi competed for the last batsman. Quantity, a lot of bad moves were used.

"You can probably imagine that Oda usually has a hypocritical smile on his face, and as a member of the baseball club, many girls actually like him."

Koike Hisae shook his head slightly, as if he felt unworthy of those girls.

"Well, Koike-san can try to ask Oda Koichiro to delete the video, but he most likely won't admit it."

"It doesn't matter if I don't admit it. It doesn't matter what others think of me, as long as I don't involve Jingzi." Xiaochi Jingzi glanced at Qing Gongfeng beside him and said.

Hearing this, Qing Gongfeng couldn't help but sigh.

In just two months, people around him have changed. In the past, Koike Hisae's whole body exuded the smell of green tea, and he always had a smile on his face, as if he could get closer to everyone.

Now, she seemed to have suddenly corrected her attitude towards life. Her whole person had become deserted and she would only smile at the people around her.

Huh? Why is this so similar to me?
