Niwang had no idea how much psychological harm the copy of his tricks, the phone call, and the indisputable "girlfriend" had caused to the Qingxue people, so he went to find Liu the next day.

In the closed physical education class, the girls were taken to the gymnastics room, while the boys were divided into groups to practice long-distance running on the playground.

"It's not good every time you come to me." Liu and Nioh were side by side on the running track. They had been jogging around the tennis court as a relaxation program for a long time, and they seemed to be comfortable jogging in physical education class.He turned his face slightly to face Nioh who had appeared next to him unknowingly since the beginning of practice, and couldn't help being curious: the last time was a physical examination, the last time was Kirihara's training plan, what happened this time?

"How could the staff say that?" King Ren raised his hand and patted Liu's shoulder in a leisurely manner, "What I said is serious business."

"It's all business, but I still think it's not good for you to come to me every time." Liu replied very simply.

How bad is my reputation?Not really, he is much more restrained than in his previous life, even the frequency of fraud and lies is much weaker.Nioh didn't realize it at all: It's true that he had restrained a lot, but what he did was much more important than in his previous life.Shrugging, he continued: "Didn't I ask for leave yesterday?"

"Yes, please make up for the training." Liu nodded, "If it's you, you should be careful not to over-practice."

"Do you remember what happened in the first grade?" King Ni was a little surprised.

After accidentally over-practicing and suffering from hypotension in the first grade, he was sent to the infirmary, and he became more concerned about his body.The older a person is, the more he cares about his body, and returning to youth can't change this habit.But his companion always remembered his momentary negligence and always took it to heart, which inevitably made Nio a little embarrassed.He raised his hand and brushed the little braid that was thrown in front of him behind him: "I asked for leave yesterday to go to Qingxue."

"Qingxue?" Liu raised his eyebrows, "Looking for someone?"

"I knew you must know." Niwang sighed.

"You didn't hide it at all. This data is much easier to collect than your tennis data." Liu explained, "Others didn't think about it because you were too open. But you came here to tell me that you If you went to Qingxue...have you visited their tennis club?"

"Yes." King Ren laughed, "You don't know if you don't go, someone will never forget you as a staff officer."

"...Well, what then?" Liu Xiangqian still felt a little guilty.After all, having been a doubles partner for four years, leaving without saying goodbye is not very kind in any way.He avoided the subject and pressed on.

"I fought with their sophomores, and I think Chiya's training is not enough, puff."

Liu digested this sentence for a while.

His unopened eyes were aimed at Nio's face with unchanged expression, and Nio could feel the eyes projected on his face through the eyelids—what kind of description, can you not open your eyes as a staff officer? This feels weird Weird!

"You said you went to someone else's tennis club to play a game? Don't let Genichiro know." Liu said lightly, "But then again, why don't you pick a worthy opponent? Tezuka, Fuji, any one is fine." , what's the matter with running to bully someone's second-year student?"

"Don't say that." King Ni smiled and waved his hand, "Although he is a second-year student, he is also a regular candidate. The data boy who has been thinking about you is not a regular candidate. Besides, Tezuka's hand was injured. I don't believe you don't know, am I someone who takes advantage of others? Buer is not an opponent I can fight against, and I didn't go to Qingxue just to play games. Of course, the temporary decision depends on the occasion. Opponent."

"Sounds reasonable." Liu nodded. "The younger generation is usually very provocative. Just doing a little trick can make him take the initiative to stand up, right? You have figured out in advance that the opponent's probability is more than 50.00%. Akaya? So you came to the conclusion that Akaya's training volume is not enough, so it seems that Qingxue's second-year students are not weak. Since you said so, then Akaya's training list needs to be revised. You The effect of the two weeks of concentrated training is not bad, let’s continue the practice match, you can decide what to do. Let me discuss with Xianichiro about Akaya’s basic training list and intensive training list.”

"Okay." King Ni thought for a while and thought it was okay.

The two continued to run forward.

After running for a while, Liu Ze suddenly said, "Zhenzhi didn't make it to the main election...so weak."

"Pfft, shouldn't you be a little bit sentimental about hurting others?" Nioh couldn't help complaining, "I was obsessed with statistics and accidentally lost in the main selection competition."

"...What are you talking about?" Liu turned his head and opened his eyes slightly.

King Ni had no choice but to raise his hands in a gesture of surrender: "I didn't say anything."

After the long-distance running, the boys were called to do shooting practice, and finally did a relaxing stretching exercise, and it was time to dismiss the get out of class.

Before get out of class ended, King Ni thought for a while but couldn't hold back: "Hey, staff officer, do you know Echizen Minamijiro?"

"How could I not know such a famous person." Liu tilted his head, "Why do you ask?"

"Pfft, Qingxue has a first-year election this year." Nioh twisted his braids and said to the slightly surprised Liu, "The first-year election is something that even Tezuka didn't do. That first-year, It is said that he is the son of Echizen Nanjiro~"

"I see." Liu nodded, "If it's just like this, you wouldn't have brought it up on purpose. Is there anything special about being a freshman?"

"If it's special, is it okay to be looked at differently by everyone in Qingxue?" Niwang smiled, "It is said that he defeated Kaitang-kun, a second-year student, in the main selection competition, and Kaitang-jun defeated the data boy who you always miss as a staff officer."

"...It doesn't feel right to say such a causal relationship from your mouth." Liu muttered, "In other words, according to the relationship between victory and defeat, he defeated Sadaharu?"

Defeated by second-year students, indirectly defeated by first-year students...

Zhenzhi's strength is too weak.

Liu thought so, and his thoughts were easily seen by King Ni.

"The staff officer hasn't seen that data guy for more than four years? Is his data accurate?" Niwang asked provocatively, raising a finger.

"I haven't seen this kind of thing in four years. He told you? It seems that he really remembers me." Liu Wei said, "Okay, I know, it's rare that you remind me so bluntly. But having said that, are you so sure that we will meet Qinggaku in the Kanto Tournament? Qinggaku has always drawn lots to the half of the ice emperor, right?"

Nioh shrugged his shoulders: "It doesn't matter if we meet or not, Yukimura told me not to lose to others casually, I have to have some snacks? Whether it's Qingxue or Ice Emperor, I don't want to make mistakes because of underestimating the enemy, poof Mile."

Anyway, the prefectural competition in Tokyo and the prefectural competition in Kanagawa started and ended at about the same time.

After Ice Emperor was defeated by the dark horse Fudo Peak in the county competition, and Qingxue won the championship in the Tokyo Metropolitan County Competition and the seed spot in the Kanto Competition, Liu would understand what he was worried about.Nioh thought.

The preparations for the Lihai vs. County Competition seemed to be in order.

It's just the county competition. As a school that has won the Kanto competition for more than ten years, it really doesn't need to pay much attention.

Besides, Li Haida didn't have the habit of sending non-candidates to the county competition like Bingdi. Do you still need to worry about being picked off by the so-called dark horse?

What is more important is the improvement of internal strength.

The joint training with Yagyu, the enlightenment training of Kirihara's selfless state, and the training of several second-year students in the quasi-school team should not be ignored.Nioh is busy, counting the days and waiting for the arrival of the Kanto Competition.

But he didn't expect that before the Kanto competition, another major event happened.

At the beginning of May, a certain day in the days of warm spring and flowers blooming.

As usual, after the morning training of the tennis club, Nioh went to the cafeteria to buy a carton of milk for breakfast, and then studied the code of the next project a few days ago in the morning class.He got good grades in last year's math competition, and the teacher is trying to convince him to take part in a higher-level competition these two days, but the higher-level competition requires intensive training and extra classes, and Nioh is not very willing.

He had a tug-of-war with the teacher for a while after class, and was let go for lunch by the helpless teacher.

The bento at noon is the fried meatballs made by Mama Nio the night before, and the frozen instant chicken nuggets and sausages that were heated in the microwave in the morning, and an apple is added for the combination of meat and vegetables.

The rooftop is Nio’s usual place for lunch breaks. After finishing his bento in the shadow behind the water tower, he rarely took out his mobile phone to browse the web.

He is completely unaccustomed to the mobile phones of this era, and he hardly uses his mobile phone for anything other than calling and texting.Fortunately, the student package comes with network traffic, and he rarely wants to browse the web on a whim without incurring additional information costs.

He randomly opened the phone's default browser and opened Yahoo.

Most of the recommended news lists are anecdotes that happened today. Nioh watched casually. A woman in Hokkaido was bitten by a dog. The new robot developed by Kyoto University has new functions. Also, the Youth Academy in Tokyo A student casualty accident occurred.

Nioh's fingers stopped suddenly.

Wait... The Youth Academy in Tokyo, a student casualty accident happened?

Niwang suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

And he, who always knew that he was lucky, seemed to understand why he suddenly wanted to browse the web on his mobile phone with this function that he disliked at noon today.

Could it be that something happened to Xia Shu?

But was it okay to go to Qingxue last month?There is no problem with the emails in the past two days...

Nioh clicked on the headline of the news, and randomly clicked on one of the several reporting websites that popped up. It contained newsletters sent around ten o'clock in the morning.It said that because of the jealousy caused by the puppy love among middle school students, a third-year girl named Mako in Qingxue was cheated by her boyfriend without knowing it.And the girl who cheated was related to bad youths in the society. After learning that she was cheated, she shouted angrily and blocked the man and Mako respectively.Nothing happened to the boy in the end, but Mako was bullied by several boys and then broke his leg...

Wait, Mako?

Niwang pursed his lips and continued to read.

This happened yesterday. Afterwards, Zhenzi was sent to the hospital by passers-by. The teacher of Qingxue, who did not receive the leave message today, got the news from the nurse in the hospital because he was worried about contacting Zhenzi.When the teacher went to visit the students in the hospital, he seemed to have said something rather violent. Mako couldn't think about it for a while, so he jumped directly from the inpatient department of the hospital on the eighth floor.

! !

Jump... jumped down? !

The reporter wrote at the end that Makoto's parents are all abroad, and Makoto's uncle's family who doesn't live with him has been disciplined. After learning about this incident, Makoto's parents said they would file a lawsuit against the school and teachers to investigate the unfavorable supervision of the school. The teacher forgot the responsibility of neglecting his duty, please follow up the follow-up report for the follow-up.

Mako...Mako...

Nioh suddenly thought of the baby-faced girl with light blond curly hair that he had seen in Qingxue that day.

Nanami Mao.

……No way?

When thinking of this, my palms can't help sweating.Nioh quickly exited the browser, opened the address book, and clicked on Xia Shu's name.

It took more than ten seconds to wait for the call to be connected. Nioh kept tapping his knee with the index finger and middle finger of his right hand alternately, feeling that the time passed really slowly.

Quickly pick it up.

Quickly pick it up.

"...King Ni?" After waiting for a long time, the moment he was about to transfer to the voice mail, the phone was connected, and the girl's hoarse and scary voice came from the other end of the phone.

As soon as King Ni heard this voice, he knew that it was Nanami Mao who had the accident.

He pursed his lips hesitantly: "Well, I read the news just now, saying that Qingxue..." He didn't continue.

Xia Shu should have cried, or is still crying, breath and voice are intermittent: "Did you see? I..."

A moment of silence.

Nioh waited for a few seconds, and suddenly asked, "Where are you now? Are you still in school?"

"...No, after the accident happened in the morning, a reporter came to the school to interview, and the teacher and I asked for leave." Xia Shu took a deep breath, "Now I am in the hospital....It is the hospital where Mao lived yesterday..."

"where?"

"...Shibuya Central Hospital."

King Ni stood up from the ground supporting his body: "Are you still planning to stay there?"

"……me……"

"I'm going to Tokyo now. If you want to go to other places, can you send me the address?" Niwang said softly, "I'll find you."

"……it is good."

The request for leave was issued by Yagyu directly from King Ni.

"Something urgent?" Liu Sheng saw that Nio's face was not as usual, so he went directly to the student union office and took out the leave form signed by the teacher from the drawer, which was for the internal affairs of the student union.

"Well, it's very urgent, thank you, Yagyu." Nioh took the leave form and smiled reluctantly, "If I don't come back from training in the afternoon, I will trouble you to ask for leave for me."

"...Okay." Liu Sheng looked at the back of King Ni who left in a hurry, his curiosity drove all kinds of speculations mixed with his worries about King Ni.

The president of the student union acted in favor of others, and there was no procedural problem at all.Nioh walked out of Likai University easily, and it took more than 30 minutes to get to Shibuya by Shinkansen.

There was no message on the phone, so he followed the map to find Shibuya Central Hospital, first went around the first floor, and finally found Xia Shu in the corner of the downstairs garden of the hospital's inpatient department.

The girl was sitting on a chair by the side of the road, staring down at the mobile phone in her hand in a daze.

"Xia Shu?" King Ni walked over and bent down to stare into Xia Shu's eyes. Unexpectedly, he found panic and bewilderment inside, as well as a little bit of puzzlement and disgust. "How are you?"

"...I'm fine." The girl trembled when she heard the voice, and smiled stiffly as if she had just recovered.

"It's okay not to laugh when you're sad." King Ni couldn't help but patted the girl's ball head, "Don't you want to talk to me?"

"What are you talking about..." Xia Shu quickly suppressed his smile, and lowered his head again.

"Your thoughts, dissatisfaction, anger, or anything else, you can tell me what you want to say but no one will listen." King Ren stepped forward and sat next to Xia Shu, "It's hard to be alone. Bar."

"What's wrong with me? If I feel unbearable like this, then what about Mao, who was lying on the hospital bed alone last night... what kind of mood is it..." Xia Shu's voice grew louder. Lower and lower, almost choking.

"Want to cry?" King Ni put his arm around Xia Shu's shoulder.

Such a posture made Xia Shu turn his head unconsciously, and buried his red and swollen eyes in the boy's shirt that smelled of washing powder: "...I can't cry anymore."

Obviously, the day before was fine.

Even if it was the isolation of his classmates, he didn't take too drastic measures, and the relationship with Kato-kun didn't seem to be as serious as he thought.Shino also looks completely immersed in love, whether it is the neglect of his classmates or the disapproving eyes of the teacher, he doesn't care, he just looks very happy.

After school, Mao happily said that she would go on a date with Kato-kun in Shibuya...

Shino's face full of anticipation...

Xia Shu's mind is full of Mao's bright smiling face when he said goodbye the day before, innocent and ignorant, as if mocking the world.After asking for leave in the morning, she managed to find this hospital. She avoided the reporters and wanted to go to see Mao, but was stopped by the doctor, saying that it was too ugly for minors, so it would be better not to see it...

How can such a word as ugly be used to describe Maou?

It was like a doll, a girl who danced like a white swan.

Xia Shu felt flustered, as if overnight he didn't know the world he had lived in for more than ten years.She was helpless, and felt that she was very calm. She was too calm, and her heart was just cold.

She unconsciously grabbed the shirt sleeve of the young man beside her, as if grabbing something to rely on.

She wanted to go and see, and wanted to know in which street and in which alley Mao suffered something she couldn't imagine yesterday.But she didn't know where such a street was.The police and reporters blocked the news, and in order to appease the panic of the students, Mao's incident was played down to the greatest extent.Even in school, when the group of students who were still isolated from Mao heard such news, they just asked in surprise if it was true and let it go.

And the teacher, the teacher who didn't feel Mao's pain at all, but first accused Mao that he shouldn't have been with Kato-kun in the first place...

Words that are like reminders.

Also, Mao told her that if she couldn't dance, it would be better to die.

Was it because he couldn't bear the blow, or because of the broken leg?

Xia Shu has thousands of guesses, but none of them can be confirmed.She wanted to shout but had no strength, she wanted to lose her temper to the indifferent crowd around her, but she couldn't make a sound.

All the strength in my body disappeared.

King Ren looked at Xia Shu's hand tightly clutching his sleeve, trembling slightly with such force.

The hand he wrapped around Xia Shu's shoulder brushed away the broken hair on Xia Shu's forehead: "Can I go?"

"...What? Where are you going?" Xia Shu raised his head and asked blankly.

"You can't stay here anymore." He looked at Xia Shu's way of retorting, and said softly: "Even if you stay here, it's useless at all, isn't it? Don't you want to vent? All the negative emotions are piled up, It will be very uncomfortable."

"...Oh." Xia Shu nodded blankly, "So, where are you taking me?"

"A place where you can definitely vent your emotions."

Xia Shu let King Ni pull him away.

Half of her spirit was wandering, and half of her thoughts were still immersed in sadness.But at the same time, she was full of resentment and had nowhere to vent, which made her lose her mind.

When she came back to her senses, she found that the boy Nioh had taken her to a place that looked like a club.

She watched the boy Renwang took out his ID card and registered the personal information of the two people, but she clearly didn't remember that she had brought an ID card.

How is this going?

Before she could react, the boy Renwang had already dragged her to a small room further inside.

What she put in her palm was a very common standard pistol she had seen on TV, and what she was facing was a circular target in the distance.

"Would you like to try it? Think of the bull's-eye as the object you want to vent, it works very well~" the boy Niwang said with a smile.He put on the earphones for her, circled her from behind, held her hand, and assumed a standard shooting posture.

The young man's slender and calloused fingers covered hers, warm and rough.

With a little fear and a lot of expectation, she followed the boy's strength, raised the pistol, and pulled the trigger.

The recoil made her tremble involuntarily, and the scene of the bullet passing through the air and hitting the bull's-eye made her a little excited again.

I seem to be broken.

Xia Shu thought so, but when the boy Niwang let go of her hand and motioned for her to come by himself, he bit his lower lip and made a similar gesture.

It was stiff at first, and the bullets that came out also missed the target.

She gradually calmed down, her mind became blank, but her body was hot, and the pose that the young man embracing her posed appeared in her mind over and over again.

a bit.

Twice.

Three times.

……

The bullet is getting closer and closer to the target.

Xia Shu clearly felt his arms hurting from the shock, and his eyes staring at the target were also sore, but he couldn't stop.

It wasn't until the trigger was pulled but no bullets were fired that she slowly lowered her hands in a daze.

His fingertips were hot and trembling.

Nioh took off the earphones for her and looked directly into her eyes: "How do you feel?"

Xia Shu recovered from the world of concentration, only to realize that he was sweating lightly, his arms and shoulders were throbbing, his eyes were sore, but his mood improved a lot.She nodded: "Sober."

"Sad?"

"Of course I'm sad." Xia Shu moved the corners of his lips and sighed, "But apart from being sad, I seem to be able to do other things, not just be immersed in sadness."

There's a lot she wants to figure out.

Even though the two went to Shibuya together, Kato-kun was fine. Was Mao abandoned by Kato-kun, or was it just an accident caused by getting separated?In such a bustling place like Shibuya, even in a small alley, it is impossible for no passer-by to pass by. Did you witness the scene of bullying yesterday?What happened in the hospital last night, and to what extent did the doctor diagnose Mao's right leg?Also, what did the teacher say to Mao this morning...

These, she must figure out.

It's impossible to let things pass like this, she can't accept it!If everyone in the world just forgets Mao, is human life so cheap?

King Ni took her hand: "Yes, you have many things to do."

"There are not many people who really feel sad for Mao, but I think, use other ways to remember Mao, let everyone remember Mao." Xia Shu said softly, "Life is too impermanent, life is too I'm fragile. If I don't do a lot of things right away, I might not have the chance to do them. So, I need to cheer up sooner."

What she said was still a little incoherent, but compared to the panic when Nioh just saw her, she was already in a very good state.

This reassured Niwang a little.

He listened to Xia Shu's words that he didn't know if they were sentimental, and then took a look at the environment where there were only the two of them in this small room at this time, and there were no other idle people waiting.

"Hey, Xia Shu." He said suddenly.

"What's the matter?" The girl who made up her mind turned her head to look at the boy who had been with her all this time.

"let's be together?"

"Eh?!!!" The girl opened her eyes wide, looking at the boy who suddenly said this sentence.

And Niwang Kong's left hand couldn't help reaching behind his head to grab his little braid, and he turned his head slightly as if embarrassed: "You said it, if you don't do many things right away, maybe you won't have a chance I did. Then, I like you Natsuki, if you don’t confess right away, will there be no chance to be together?”

"But……"

"It's really not good to confess at such an occasion and time, right?" Niwang smiled self-deprecatingly, "But I just wanted to say that all of a sudden."

"...That's why I said, you always suddenly say something that will disturb people." Xia Shu blinked, and she looked at the young boy who was rarely looking away, "Although I don't hate it."

"Puff?"

In fact, when acquiescing to the young man to accompany him, it is tantamount to acquiescing the relationship between two people, right?

Although we have always been together in the name of friends, and have always said to others that the two of us are just friends, but...

but……

"I don't know if it's suitable for such an occasion and time, but I don't want to refuse." Xia Shu sighed, "I don't even think about refusing at all. So..." I must be broken.

When Mao had an accident, was it just because he lacked a support and comfort?

Absolutely not, this boy...

I have never said it out loud, but the feeling of love for the boy has been there since a year ago.

But how can you confess on such an occasion...

On such an occasion, at such a time, how could I not have the slightest idea of ​​rejection...

Xia Shu suddenly couldn't help the soreness at the tip of his nose.

Her eyes, which had finally recovered a little, turned red again. She had no idea of ​​patience at all. She lowered her head and covered her face with her hands, letting the tears slide down her cheeks. This appearance shocked Nioh.

"Why are you crying?!"

"I... I... Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

"Stop crying, it's all my fault, stop crying, Natsuki..."

"woo woo woo woo……"
