"All right."
"So, what's the answer?"
“.Nothing.” Jiuhuayue turned her face away.
"Was it you, Xiaoyue, who took the initiative today, or was it him?"
"What today?" Jiuhuayue asked.
"Just now in the pavilion, you two—"
"No! Don't say it!"
Jiuhuayue was anxious, extremely anxious.
"What's the big deal? Your mother is not a little girl who knows nothing. She is an experienced person."
"Mother, what do you know? Anyway, you are not allowed to mention it!"
Mrs. Jiuhua looked worried. "It's not that mother wants to expose your shame on purpose, but if I don't remind you again, do you still want to live your own life from now on?"
"What's the meaning."
Mrs. Jiuhua sighed, "Xiaoyue, the Matsumae family is indeed interested in the child Ashu."
".Is what Xinchun said true?"
"I guess so, it's just that Shu hasn't agreed to it yet. But Xiaoyue, you have to understand that if the Matsumae family wants Shu and Xinchun to get along, they have plenty of ways to do it. You and Xinchun were arguing a while ago, but even if you can win the argument with her, can you win over the Matsumae family?"
Jiu Huayue hesitated for a while and opened her mouth, "What should we do then?"
"Put your ear closer." Mrs. Jiuhua whispered.
Jiuhuayue leaned over to listen doubtfully.
"W-what? N-No!"
"Are you still shy?"
"Really not, it's too early! And mother, how could you. How could you say such things to me?" Jiu Huayue was angry and ashamed.
Mrs. Jiuhua's expression was the same as usual. "There is no need to be ashamed. Mom, I didn't marry into the Jiuhua family as a child bride. When Mom was your age, she was already thinking about getting pregnant."
"."Jiuhuayue had nothing to say.
"Mom doesn't want to say anything more or explain anything more. I can only tell you, Xiaoyue. If you still think it's too early, I'm afraid it's too late."
Mrs. Jiuhua shook her head, then picked up her handbag and went upstairs.
Only Jiuhuayue was left there alone with a confused mind.
If we don't do that, will it really be too late?
Chapter 218 Dawn and Dusk
The last week of August.
For Otaru City, this is an important time of seasonal change, symbolizing the transition from summer to autumn.
The temperature becomes cooler, the maple leaves gradually turn red, and the beautiful autumn scenery arrives.
Although Fujii Itsuki really wanted to spend more time on the wind band training, high school life inevitably involves some extra activities.
Fujii Itsuki also plans to enjoy this cultural festival seriously.
"Hey! Mr. Fujii, what do you think our club should do a program in this cultural festival?" In the staff office, Akai Muzi poked his head over to the seat next to Fujii Itsuki. He was staring at the computer intently, as if typing something.
"Teacher Fujii? Ashu!" Akai Muzi shouted twice again.
"What?" Fujii Itsuki stopped.
"I say, should our wind band prepare a program for the cultural festival?"
Akai Muzi leaned over his shoulder and looked at his computer screen. "By the way, what are you writing? You look so serious."
"It's a script for a stage play." Fujii Itsuki did not hide it.
Akai Muzi noticed the title of the word document. "Dawn and Dusk? What did you write? Norse mythology?"
"What Norse mythology? That's Ragnarok."
"Dawn and dusk, gods and dusk, isn't that similar?"
“Not nearly the same”
Fujii Itsuki was too tired to complain.
"What about the subject matter and content? What is it?"
Akai Muzi took a closer look at the script he was writing. Most of it was just some minor dialogues, and he couldn't make any sense out of it. He only saw a character called "Princess of the Dawn" who seemed to be in a dense forest.
Fujii Itsuki pinched his chin and thought for a while, "It should be considered a fantasy fairy tale."
Akagi Muzi sat back down, staring at Fujii Itsuki while thinking, "Why did you choose the theme of fairy tale?"
"Fairy tales are simple, easy to understand, and very suitable for acting. Even if people's performance is not good enough due to lack of rehearsal, they will choose to be tolerant because the subject matter itself is a fairy tale. Could it be that you want to rehearse "The Rose of Versailles" within this limited time?"
There was nothing wrong with the explanation, but Akai Muzi felt it was a bit strange.
"I always feel that your arrangement, Shu, is not that simple. Have you chosen the cast?"
She thought for a moment and asked with a smile, "Although I don't know the content of the script you wrote, how about letting me guess first?"
Fujii Itsuki made a please gesture.
"First of all, there must be two protagonists."
"Yes."
"And they are all heroines."
"Although my class is all girls, you guessed it wrong. There is a boy and a girl, the Princess of Dawn and the Prince of Dusk."
"No way, Princess. I know. It must be played by Xinchun. Her temperament is absolutely suitable. Prince, you will play it. But that's not right. Can the teacher go on stage?" Akai Muzi frowned, as if she suddenly realized something. "Could it be Xiao Jiuhua?"
"That's only half right," Fujii Itsuki shook his head, "On the contrary, the princess is Jiuhuayue and the prince is Matsumae Shinchun."
"What about the plot?"
"Hey, Muzi, don't you want to guess?"
"Don't bother to guess, just tell me directly."
"Hmm," Fujii Itsuki pinched his chin and thought for a while, "How should I put it? Dawn and Dusk, a pair of siblings, parted ways, and after going through some things, they got to know each other again."
".I think I understand what you mean."
After seeing Akai Muzi's expression of sudden enlightenment, Fujii Itsuki forced a smile and said, "Even though I don't know if this will work."
"It's great that you can come up with this idea, Shu. I support it. Besides, didn't their relationship improve a little during the last training camp at the beach? That's great, very good."
"maybe"
Before lunch break, Fujii Itsuki continued writing the script.
He didn't want to write a story that was too shocking or full of bizarre twists.
Although the story is simple and the main structure is something that has been written to death since Shakespeare, as long as a script can resonate with some people, it means that it still has its merits.
What's more, the actors are a group of high school students. Can we expect them to act in "The Purple Flowers Reflected in the Sunset"?
The interpersonal relationships there are not only headache-inducing, but also make some parents who come to visit frown.
But Fujii Itsuki was worried while writing.
What if this script has no effect after Xinchun and Xiaoyue perform it?
How should I reconcile the relationship between the two?
I spent the whole morning writing the script and thinking.
At noon, Fujii Itsuki and Muzi went to the cafeteria early to have lunch, but she was called back by students from their class.
After lunch, Fujii Itsuki strolled around the Tachibana campus to help digest his food.
"Teacher Fujii."
"Ah."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fujii."
"good afternoon."
Walking in the backyard of the school, many students bowed to greet him, most of them with respect.
The accumulated feeling of respect would make Fujii Itsuki feel that his steps were light wherever he went.
This is bad. Really bad.
It is no wonder that many teachers get lost in their identity as teachers.
For students, this kind of "respect" is also a reflection of status differences.
When the gap becomes more obvious, some teachers will use this identity to threaten some timid children.
Looking through the ivy leaves spreading down the corridor, Fujii Itsuki sat on a stone chair and looked at the clock tower of Tachibana Kita that was as white as the moon.
He felt that although he couldn't stand it now, he was at least slightly different from this kind of guy.
He continued walking.
"anything?"
This sound.
Isn’t it Xiaoyue?
Fujii Itsuki had just walked to the back of the sports equipment room for his routine inspection when he heard some noise coming from inside.
He walked steadily, leaned against the mossy concrete wall of the equipment room, and looked over there with half of his head exposed.
Jiuhuayue stood with her back to the teaching building.
There stood a tall boy in front of her.
