Because Xiaoyue and everyone else are all here, all smiling happily.

Matsumae Shinchun couldn't help but feel sad when no one was paying attention.
Xiaoyue also likes Teacher Fujii, right?
On one side is the childhood sweetheart who has reconciled with him, and on the other side is the brother whom he loves so much.
Matsumae Shinharu was extremely conflicted.
she does not know.
What should I do?
Chapter 175: Matsumae Shinharu's Night
The tea party lasted until very late.
Rinka Hiiragi saw everyone off to the street at a nearby bus stop, and everyone waved goodbye.
Matsumae Shinchun and Jiuhuayue got on the same bus.
As night fell, the already deserted streets were filled with the chirping of summer insects. There were many old apartments and houses on both sides of the street.
Matsumae Shinharu stood in the middle of the carriage.
She followed the occasional flash of street lights outside the window and looked at Jiuhuayue, who was two steps away from her.
The childhood sweetheart whom I had thought about day and night in the past was now by my side.
It was OK with Chitose and Rinka around, so she could still say a few words, but Matsumae Shinchun was alone with Jiuhuayue at this time, and she didn't know how to start a conversation.
Xiaoyue said she likes Teacher Fujii
Does that mean you've already confessed?
If that's the case, how can I become good friends with her again?
The person she and I like is the same person.
You and your best friend like the same person
Xiaoyue is extremely important to me. She is the first light in my life besides my mother.
It was Xiaoyue who made me no longer gloomy.
And now.
Want to give up?
Should I return to the Matsumae family, accept my fate, follow the family's arrangements and live a life of "restraint"?
Matsumae Shinchun didn't understand.
I really don't understand how I should choose.
How to choose
"Xinchun." Jiuhuayue suddenly appeared aside.
"Ah? Xiaoyue.?"
"You were startled, right?" Jiuhuayue laughed.
Matsumae Shinchun had never seen Jiuhuayue's smiling face again at such a close distance.
Xiaoyue is so pretty.
She nodded, a little shy.
"Well I didn't expect Xiaoyue to come and talk to me on her own initiative."
"I was standing there for a long time just now and was very curious. Xinchun, why didn't you take the initiative to come forward and talk to me? Didn't we have a good chat at Rinka's house just now?"
"That's it"
Matsumae Shinchun placed his right hand on his chest and stared at the seat on the bus, "I was just thinking about something."
"Talk about it? I guess you should talk about it, right? Isn't it true that you need to talk about your worries?"
"Of course," Matsumae Shinchun paused, then looked at Jiuhuayue and asked, "Xiaoyue, you like Mr. Fujii, right?"
"Yes." Jiuhuayue felt something strange.
"The relationship between Satsuki and Chitose"
The weirdness in Jiuhuayue's heart disappeared, and she smiled and said, "I was just about to ask Xinchun, what do you think of Qiansui. What do you think of the relationship between her and the uncle? What is it like?"
"Chitose?"
Matsumae Shinharu thought about her childhood sweetheart's question carefully and answered it first, "Chitose is very attached to Mr. Fujii. I should say she is very, very attached to him. Xiaoyue, you should know about Chitose and Mr. Fujii's past. Chitose is so attached to him. She must really regard him as a family member and a brother."
"Does Xinchun think Qiansui is very jealous?"
"Very heavy," Matsumae Shinchun answered with certainty, "but Chitose-chan is a very reasonable and friendly person. At first, Chitose seemed to be wary of me. She felt that I was too close to Mr. Fujii, but that disappeared after the school trip."
".Oh? Why?"
"It was probably because I played with Chitose on her birthday and gave her flowers. Chitose looked quite touched."
Jiuhuayue couldn't help but look at Matsumae Xinchun again.
"Then what does Xinchun think of the relationship between Chitose and the uncle?"
"normal."
"normal?"
"Yes, no one wants their brother who is so good to them to have another sister, right? If you put yourself in Chitose's shoes, you will understand this feeling. When your close brother has another sister, you feel like you have been neglected, ignored by the person you cherish."
Matsumae Shinharu's tone became a little low.
"I see, I understand."
Jiuhuayue nodded and closed her eyes.
"Xinchun is right. I understand the feeling of being ignored, so even if Chitose hates me, I can understand her. I was against her before, but I didn't hate her. Who likes to have their precious things taken away by others?"
"Sorry." Matsumae Shinchun suddenly apologized.
"No need to be like that. I didn't mean to hint at you, Xinchun. Although it sounds strange to say this, Xinchun, didn't I ignore you before? Weren't you also very sad? I think that what happened between us has been in the past for so long. I have now completely seen my father's true face. Xinchun has promised me, so let's just pretend that what happened before never happened!"
The bus arrived at the stop and both of them got off at the same time.
Jiuhuayue became very talkative, and Matsumae Xinchun could feel that she was deliberately looking for topics to chat with her.
To ease the relationship between the two that had not been eased for more than ten years.
Xiaoyue is so proactive.
Matsumae Shinchun was really happy. She joined in the conversation with her and they became extremely happy.
Soon, they arrived at her doorstep.
"That's all for today. Bye~ Xinchun."
"Well, bye, Xiaoyue."
"Besides," Jiuhuayue smiled, "We must do our best in this county competition! I know that it's not just me and Chitose, but Xinchun you also want to make up for uncle's regret, right!"
"Of course!"
Matsumae Shinchun agreed, "This is a common regret of my mother and Mr. Fujii. To me, both my mother and Mr. Fujii are very important people in my life!
"I agree with what Chitose said. Let's work hard together for the gold medal in the national competition!"
After listening to this, Jiuhuayue did not give any additional response, but just smiled. She waved to Matsumae Xinchun, said "goodbye" happily, and turned back to her home.
Matsumae Shinharu held Baihua in his arms and stood outside, watching his childhood sweetheart go home.
At the moment Jiuhuayue was about to close the door, a hand suddenly stretched out from the crack of the door, waved to the girl outside, and said goodbye.
Matsumae Shinchun smiled knowingly.
When there was completely no movement, she turned around and went back to her home.
No matter what, today should be a happy day.
Several good friends got together and held a tea party, making cakes, playing games and chatting.
The childhood sweetheart who had been basically impossible to reconcile with me in the past now spoke frankly to me and took the initiative to clear up their grudges with me.
Matsumae Shinharu admitted.
I was really happy at that time.
I was very happy until I sent Xiaoyue home.
But as soon as I got home.
Looking at the empty, dark and cold entrance where even the moonlight can't shine in.
Matsumae Shinchun's mood cooled again.
Such an empty home made her feel lonely.
Matsumae Shinchun's original plan to practice the violin was ruined.
I gave up after practicing for just a few tries because I couldn't stand the lifeless living room.
It suddenly started raining outside again.
The raindrops are falling heavily.
The sound of the air falling from the sky and hitting the house made Matsumae Shinchun feel even colder all over.
This emotion forced Matsumae Shinchun to go to the bedroom on the second floor and lie down.
She tried to sleep and failed.
So he took out a quilt from the closet and wrapped himself in the thickest and heaviest quilt.
