"It's okay. Anyway, after the class monitor signed up for the 3,000-meter race, Jiuhua also signed up immediately. What's going on?"
"Can't you see that? They have a good relationship!"
"That's right, after all, it's 'Matsumae' and 'Kyuuka', 'a promise under the city'!"
Hiiragi Rinka sat in the corner of the classroom, head down and silent.
The classmates also talked about the families behind the two.
In everyone's eyes, Matsumae and Kuka are good friends.
In the eyes of history teachers, it is true. In the eyes of historians, it is true too.
But Rinka Hiiragi knew that this was wrong.
Kokoharu told her in person that the Kuka family and the Matsumae family had severed their ties, but neither family had announced it to the public.
People outside still feel that the "Agreement under the City" is still going on.
But what about reality.
'Matsumae' severed ties with 'Kyuka'.
The relationship between Xinchun and Xiaoyue became fragmented, just like the families behind them.
They signed up for the same competition.
How to do?
Hiiragi Rinka lowered her head, feeling extremely guilty.
If I hadn't helped them reconcile, this fight wouldn't have lasted so long.
Even my favorite candy no longer tastes sweet.
She didn't know what to do.
After spending the afternoon classes in a daze, Rinka Hiiragi sat alone in the classroom for a long time. Hearing the sounds of training outside the window, she got up and walked to the classroom window and looked at the playground.
At this glance, he happened to see Matsumae Shinchun and Jiuhuayue.
On the playground, the two kept running and chasing each other.
One circle, two circles, three circles.
500 meters, 700 meters, 1,500 meters
The more Hiiragi Rinka looked at it, the more worried she became.
She saw that the two of them fainted at the same time because they couldn't hold on any longer, and then were taken to the school infirmary by Teacher Fujii at the same time. They couldn't stand at all.
She hurried to the infirmary.
"It's Rinka. Xiaoyue can't wake up for the time being after the drip. Teacher Fujii went to the bathroom temporarily and will be back soon. Come in and sit down."
"Feel sorry."
"Apologize for what?"
"It was me who made Xiaoyue and Xinchun-chan reconcile in the beginning. If I hadn't done that—"
Matsumae Shinchun just shook his head.
"Xinchun-chan, now you and Xiaoyue."
"Rinka still wants us to reconcile?"
"Um"
Hiiragi Rinka nodded bravely, then lowered her head in confusion, "Everyone, everyone is a very good person, we should be happy, just like we did when we climbed the mountain together that day, we should be happy together."
"I'm sorry, Rinka," Matsumae Shinchun seemed not to want to talk about it and took the initiative to avoid looking at him, "Now Xiaoyue and I are in a competitive relationship."
".Is there really no hope?"
"Not at the moment. If there was, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to tell Xiaoyue about it. Lying is even worse. I feel I have an obligation to express my thoughts to Xiaoyue."
".Then why is Xinchun.Fujii teacher?"
"I can only tell you, Rinka, that Mr. Fujii is hope to me."
"."
"Rinka, we're still good friends, right?"
"Yeah," Hiiragi Rinka nodded weakly.
"I hope Rinka won't tell anyone about this, as it will cause trouble to Mr. Fujii and bring uncertainty to his work.
"Rinka, I have never felt the proper affection from my blood relatives. Just know this."
After saying these words, Matsumae Shinchun seemed tired.
Hiiragi Rinka noticed this and bowed to say goodbye.
After school.
On the way home, her heart was always entangled in the relationship between the two.
The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt.
[How can we make the two of them reconcile?]
When taking a shower, when lying in bed at night, and when eating in the morning.
She was thinking about this question.
Xiaoyue really needs Mr. Fujii, and Xinchun also needs Mr. Fujii.
How can we reconcile the two without hurting each other?
Rinka Hiiragi closed her eyes and thought for a long, long time.
".Teacher Fujii, I know it's a bit abrupt for me to say this. But. But, I've thought a lot these days. Please date Xinchun and Xiaoyue at the same time!"
Fujii Itsuki: “.”
"So, Hiiragi-san came here alone to talk to me about this?"
"Um"
"why?"
"Because Xiaoyue and Xinchun both need you"
"But isn't it absurd to say this?"
"." Hiiragi Rinka was very ashamed.
Fujii Itsuki knew that she wanted the two of them to reconcile as soon as possible, so she spoke more seriously:
"This matter has little to do with you, Rinka, so don't worry too much."
"But, Mr. Fujii, it was during that tea party that I made the two of them reconcile. If they hadn't reconciled, I don't think Xiaoyue and Xinchun would be like this now."
Fujii Itsuki shook his head, "It's just like going back to the beginning of the school year."
Hiiragi Rinka: “.”
"Okay, okay, I know you said that in a moment of haste, Rinka. I'll just pretend I didn't hear it."
".Sorry, Mr. Fujii, I was abrupt."
"Yeah, it's okay. Of course, I also want their relationship to be reconciled. After all, they are sisters in the real sense. Xinchun's mother is Jiuhua's biological aunt."
"What?!" Hiiragi Rinka opened her mouth wide.
"Sorry! The teacher seems to have said something that shouldn't have been said. Hiiragi-san, just pretend you didn't hear it. If you don't have anything else to say, the teacher will leave first."
After Fujii Itsuki finished speaking, Hiiragi Rinka nodded at him blankly in surprise.
He smiled and left later, but the girl was still in shock.
Xinchun and Xiaoyue are indeed blood-related sisters, right?
Fujii Itsuki withdrew his gaze.
He walked down the corridor, looking through the mottled leaves toward the blue sky.
Rinka is a good friend of them all, and has always hoped that they would have a harmonious relationship.
I just took the initiative to tell Rinka about our relationship, hoping that she can play a role in the solution I come up with next.
If everything goes well, Xiaoyue and Xinchun's relationship will at least become closer.
The rest is Qiansui's side.
Fujii Itsuki was in a good mood and walked quickly towards the infirmary.
The first day of the sports festival ended with Jiuhuayue and Matsumae Xinchun tied for third place, while the other students in the class didn't win any awards.
When they gathered in the afternoon, everyone looked so sad that Fujii Itsuki felt distressed. He quickly told everyone that everything was okay, which made everyone feel better.
Of course, the price of getting third place is that Jiuhuayue and Matsumae Xinchun are overdrawn and cannot even participate in tomorrow's kendo competition.
Fujii Itsuki felt that they would not be able to rest well if he was with any of them, so he went to Chitose's house to sleep for the night.
The next day, the sports festival continued in full swing.
Xinchun, Xiao Jiuhua and the others no longer have any competitions, and all they have left is the kendo club training.
The other students were having a basketball game, so Fujii Itsuki went to watch it. However, he was dunked on by a girl from the opposite class, and the basketball bounced up and hit the right side of his face.
The other party ran over and bowed repeatedly to apologize. How could Fujii Itsuki not bother with a little girl? He just said it was okay and ended the matter.
Jiuhuayue's depression went somewhere unknown. After training, Matsumae Shinchun said that she forgot to bring medicine for anxiety disorder from home, so Fujii Itsuki had to take her to the infirmary to get the medicine.
"Hmm? Is Teacher Gong Hui not here?"
With a click.
Fujii Itsuki turned around with the medicine he had just found in his hand, and saw Matsumae Shinchun locking the door of the infirmary with a blushing face.
"Xinchun, you..."
"Teacher, please give Xinchun the medicine first."
There's no way to refuse.
