"It must be hard for Rinka to imagine, being abandoned and then picked up, being bullied and then being protected, and every time you are sad, there is always someone in front of you to block the wind and rain and protect everything for you."
"Well it's hard to imagine."
"So, I love Brother Tree."
Hiiragi Rinka answered, and at this moment she noticed that Chitose's face illuminated by the moonlight was truly beautiful.
The girl thought that this might be the reason why Xiaoyue liked Teacher Fujii.
He will appear around like an older brother.
Teacher Fujii gave Xiaoyue the confidence she never had before, and gave her the encouragement and support she never had before.
It was Mr. Fujii who made Xiaoyue experience love and life.
Every time she was alone with Xiaoyue and heard Xiaoyue talking about Teacher Fujii, Rinka Hiiragi felt this way.
Now it seems that Chitose is the same.
No.
It should be said that Mr. Fujii's consistent attitude made everyone feel warm.
How beautiful.
Seeing her good friend so happy, Hiiragi Rinka curled her hands over her heart and couldn't help but feel happy too.
"Rinka, you are my good friend, just like Kokoroharu-chan, so I am going to tell you a secret now."
"C-can I?" Hiiragi Rinka clenched her hands.
"Of course! Put your ear close to me."
Hiiragi Rinka then leaned her head closer to her good friend.
Yang Kui Chitose moved closer to her, put her hand over her good friend's ear, and whispered her secret:
"I like Brother Tree very much."
"Ah."
"I really like that."
"Uh-huh."
"So, Brother Shu and I can be lovers for the rest of our lives, and we can be boyfriend and girlfriend after graduation."
"."
"Rinka?"
"."
"Rinka? I'm not going to scare you by saying this, am I? Yes, it's a little shocking, but Brother Shu did promise me this."
Brother Tree.
恋人
graduation
Boyfriend
Chitose's words were spoken quietly, but they were like a bolt from the blue, going straight into Hiiragi Rinka's mind.
She...she didn't hear it wrong?
Could it be that Chitose-chan also——
"Chi, Chitose, could it be that—"
"Ah! Rinka! Look, Kokoharu-chan is here!"
Just when Rinka Hiiragi was about to ask more questions, Chitose Haruki suddenly became excited. She quickly pointed in a direction, interrupting Rinka before she could even ask.
Chitose also likes Mr. Fujii?
Same as Xiaoyue. Not like, but love
Hiiragi Rinka was enthusiastically helped up by Yang Kui Chitose.
The banquet was very lively with the arrival of Matsumae Shinharu, and no one at the banquet was not paying attention to the little princess of the Matsumae family.
But Rinka Hiiragi was still in shock, immersed in the thunderbolt of what Chitose had just said.
If what Chitose said is true
She will become a lover with Mr. Fujii in the future.
Then. Then. Then what about Xiaoyue?
Xiaoyue, she likes Teacher Fujii!
The two of them won’t fight each other in the future, right?
How could this be possible? How could this be possible?
"Chitose." Rinka Hiiragi pulled Chitose Yangkui's arm.
"Ah! Rinka, look! Kokoharu-chan is dressed up so beautifully today. She looks like a real princess in this dress!"
"Chi, Chitose." Hiiragi Rinka tugged at her hand.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Yang Kui Chitose turned around in excitement. She noticed that Hiiragi Rinka looked a little strange. "Are you feeling unwell? Did you eat too much cake just now?"
"."
"Rinka?"
'Rinka, you are my good friend.'
"Rinka, I like Mr. Fujii."
'I! Jiuhuayue! I like our class teacher Fujii the most!'
The scenes from the Jade Fox Ceremony were still flashing in his mind, and Jiuhuayue's eyes reflecting the lights of the ceremony seemed to appear before his eyes again.
This made Hiiragi Rinka lower her head instantly and replied in a low voice:
"No, it's nothing."
*
Fujii Itsuki admitted that he was shocked when the child Matsumae Shinharu appeared.
It wasn't just the girl's beauty that shocked me.
There is also a girl whose appearance is 99% similar to that of the professor.
Be it her eyebrows, movements, smiles, or the most unique teardrop mole under her right eye, she is exactly the same.
At this moment, Fujii Itsuki thought that the professor had come back to life.
So much so that the voice of Akai Muzi calling him beside him became ethereal, as if coming from a distant and ethereal place.
“Trees, trees, trees.”
"."
"Tree!"
"Muzi?"
"Ashu, why have you been in a daze since just now? Are you staring at that girl Matsumae?"
"Of course not. I just—"
Fujii Itsuki's eyes were always on Matsumae Shinharu's face, and she was filled with anxiety at the moment.
He was so anxious that he couldn't even tell why.
Maybe it's a pity?
Fujii Itsuki guessed so.
I regret that I was not with the professor when he passed away, and I regret that he was alone when he passed away.
When the professor's body was taken to the hospital.
The first person to visit her was not her family, but herself.
When the professor was dressed by the undertaker and the coffin was closed with a silver lotus in his hand, I thought of the professor who had taken good care of me in the past, who remembered what kind of tea I liked to drink, gave me money to buy clothes and rent a house, and now he was gone.
Tears were about to well up in Fujii Itsuki's eyes.
Seeing the professor again at this moment.
I just feel like I have a lot to say to her.
Fujii Itsuki looked at Matsumae Shinharu who was surrounded by all eyes, and she walked towards the center of the banquet stage. The host of the birthday party was already waiting there, ready to liven up the atmosphere.
Fujii Itsuki finally recovered from his reluctance to part and answered Akai Muko beside him:
"I just thought of someone."
"Who?" Akai Muko couldn't help but glance at Matsumae Shinchun who was surrounded by flowers.
"I remember I talked to you about the teacher I met when I first entered Kyoto University, Chikoto Fujinomiya."
".She looks very similar to the Matsumae girl?"
"Professor Fujinomiya's real name is Chikoto Matsumae, and Kokoharu is the professor's daughter."
".?"
Akai Muko looked at the flower-filled stage again. On the stage, Matsumae Shinharu was wearing a white dress, jeweled earrings, and a smile on her face, sparkling. The host was beside her, saying some lines to cheer her on and liven up the atmosphere.
When she turned around, Akai Muzi noticed Fujii Itsuki's gaze again.
In the past, I often heard Fujii Itsuki talking about the professor's current look.
Akai Muzi seemed to understand something.
"You go over there."
"Hmm? Past what?"
"Since you miss the professor so much, Shu, she must be a very important person to you. Talking to this kid Matsumae and then dancing with him may make up for the regret in your heart."
