Trapped in the sunset

In a blink of an eye, April [-]st arrived.

Wei Young, who arrived at the school gate an hour earlier than the others, walked across the campus in front of the bulletin board outside the auditorium.His gray eyes landed on the piece of paper that said "Second Year Group A", and then his eyes moved down line by line.Although I had already learned about my schedule for this year from someone who is the president of the student council at the end of the spring break, but after seeing my name with my own eyes, I felt at ease—like a sigh of relief Same.

I glanced casually, and found that except for a few people, all of them were classmates from last year, and Ai Harada was among them.

She slightly raised the corners of her mouth, silently expressing that she was very satisfied with the result of class placement.

"You're here, Wei Young."

Wei Young didn't immediately turn to look at him.Keeping her eyes on the bulletin board, she said, "Aren't you the same? Hey, Akashi-kun, please give me your advice this year."

Akashi Seijuro stood beside her, his eyes of different colors followed her gaze: "What? Don't believe what I said?"

Although there was no displeasure in his tone, Wei Young finally turned around and retorted: "No. I just want to confirm it with my own eyes and see who is in our class by the way."

He glanced at her: "how do you feel after reading it?"

"good."

"That's it?" He asked, looking at her with some amusement and nodding seriously.He raised his hand and gently rubbed it between her hair: "Let's go, let's choose a seat first when there is no one else."

She was about to take a step and paused: "... Akashi-kun, in fact, even if you are the last one to enter the class, no one will compete with you."

"But in that case, the fun of life is gone, isn't it?"

The two walked slowly on the path full of cherry blossoms, feeling petals caressing their faces from time to time.For Wei Young, who missed the same scenery last year, she was nothing but stunning.Spreading her palms to catch the pink petals hovering in the air, Wei Young took out a book from her schoolbag and put it in it.

Facing the young man who waited patiently for her to complete this series of actions, she said, "Akashi-kun, you seem to be in a good mood today."

Akashi didn't deny it, but he didn't respond either.On the contrary, he handed her an application for joining the club the moment they stepped into the teaching building: "Let's officially become the manager of the basketball club this year."

Wei Young was stunned, and took the application form with some hesitation: "But——you should know that I will be very busy this year..."

"I know," he said, "but what does it matter? Just like last year?"

——That is to say, go there if you have time, and just drop a condolence item if you don’t have time.

She silently put away the paper, and it took a long time before she said: "You are determined not to allow me to refuse no matter what, right, Akashi-kun?"

"The reaction is too slow, Wei Young." He said, "Have you forgotten? My order is absolute, and no one who dares to disobey me has yet appeared."

"--Yes Yes."

. . .

Their classrooms for this school year are in the same building as last year's classes.The difference lies only in the different floors: the former is on the second floor and the latter is on the third floor.The moment she opened the door, Wei Young noticed that the only two or three eyes in the classroom were all on them.Looking around, she found that those people were very strange to her—are they transfer students?

But obviously, just because she doesn't know them doesn't mean Akashi doesn't know them either.On the contrary, what the boy said next made her understand that the so-called student council president is different.At the same time, she couldn't help but began to think about the fact that Akashi Seijuro has a wide range of people?Or is it just a good memory?Eyes swept back and forth on those classmates and Akashi, and then took a panoramic view of the awe on the faces of those people, Wei Young admitted that she was more inclined to the second guess.

Akashi-kun's friends, except those who play basketball together, seem to be. . .There is no one else.

Is she an exception?

yes. . .

"Where do you want to sit?"

"Huh?" She pulled back her thoughts of running away, and looked up at the person who was asking her opinion: "As long as it is by the window."

He nodded, and took the lead to walk over to the same position as last year and sat down.The same is by the window, the same as the second row.

Wei Young put down her schoolbag, and immediately turned her head to look out the window: "Ah... the vision has become worse."

"If you really want to watch it so much, why don't you just eat on the rooftop during your lunch break?"

"Not today, it's the orientation meeting for new students in the afternoon."

"As far as I know, you are not included in the music club's performance."

"I'm the supervisor." She dismissed in a low voice: "And it's not like you don't know that I'm not familiar with these Japanese school programs at all. Senior Suzuki said that I must study hard today." After all, there is no doubt that I will be the president of the music club next year. It's Wei Young.

"If you have time, come to the basketball club. Kotaro and Lingyang sent a text message last night saying they want to see you." One "Xiaoyang" and one "Little Manager", Akashi knew exactly who those two letters were without looking at the names. It's coming.

"If you have time." She agreed.

During their back-and-forth discussions, the crowd slowly poured in.

Consciously or unintentionally watching the side of the door from the corner of his eyes, Wei Young smiled slightly at the visitor when he caught a glimpse of the familiar neat short hair: "Long time no see, Harada. Please give me your advice this year."

Harada Ai pursed her lips pretending to be dissatisfied: "It's too outlandish for you to say that, Wei Young. Didn't you ask me to call me "Ai" already? She pulled out the chair directly behind Wei Young, sat down, folded her hands on the table, and said in one go: "It's great that there is no one in the back seat.By the way, I heard that you became the vice president of the music club - it's really not enough friends for you not to tell me about such an important matter. "

"I am sorry."

A malicious smile appeared on Harada Ai's face: "Then as compensation, what will you do as this year's deputy monitor?"

"Ah?" Wei Young blinked involuntarily. "But, isn't that kind of thing well-known by the teacher?" She responded immediately afterwards.

Ai nodded: "It's usually like this. But don't you see that our class is not all old classmates except for a few people? The principal and deputy class monitors generally don't change. And even if they change, Akashi-kun will remain the same. He will be the class monitor." She turned her head and said to the person she always kept a respectful distance from, "I think Akashi-kun won't mind."

But to Ai's surprise, Akashi Seijuro did not agree with her proposal this time.

—— "Harada, it's better for you to be the deputy monitor. Wei Young is very busy this year."

Swept lightly by those two-color eyes, Ai intuitively felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.She wanted to cry but had no tears: "Okay, I get it."

——I originally wanted to turn down that thankless job like that. . .Sure enough, once you step into the thief ship, you will never be able to escape? !Seeing how Akashi-kun likes Wei Young so much, I thought he would immediately agree. . .It was she who underestimated him. . .

. . .

Many years later, whenever Ai Harada was asked about her feelings about her high school life, she would often look up at the sky, and then sigh heavily——

——"How else would you feel? Just try to do odd jobs under an absolute monarch and you will know...my beautiful high school life does not exist at all. Akashi's person is simply to the point of mutual anger-I see the whole Wei Young is the only one in the world who can stand him. But... I have to admit that he is really kind to Wei Young to the point of envy..."

Even so, Akashi Seijuro isn't bad.He may be a businessman who can't bear to be violated by others, and a businessman who is sometimes rational and cruel; but at the same time, on the contrary, he is also a leader who can lead a group to victory, a leader who can obtain the complete obedience of his subordinates, and a A friend who tolerates the flaws of those he accepts. . .He is also a person whom Harada loves his best friend Wei Young loves and loves very much.

Just relying on the last item, Harada Ai has accepted the fact that she may not be able to get rid of the fact that she may not be able to get rid of the culprit who caused her high school nightmare.

But think about it. . .She found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with such a life.
