The next morning, Starfish came to the door early.
It's not because of what Matsu Chiaki said before leaving last night, but because her schoolbag was left at Naruse's house - she came over right after school yesterday and didn't take it with her when she went to eat.
The one who opened the door for her was Shangzi in pajamas, and both of them were stunned for a moment.
"Good morning, Haixing." Shangzi reacted first and let her into the house.
"Good morning..."
"Is Haixing here to get the schoolbag?"
Haixing nodded, looked at her pajamas and couldn't help but ask, "Does Shangzi already live here?"
Shangzi smiled and said, "Yes."
"Have you had breakfast, Starfish? If not, just eat it here."
Haixing wanted to agree, but didn't really want to agree. After hesitating, Song Qianqiu came out of the room yawning and asked her to stay.
Not long after, Naruse also got up.
When he went downstairs and saw Starfish sitting on the sofa, he was not too surprised.
"Come and get your schoolbag."
"Well..."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"No."
"I'll prepare breakfast right away... Well, is Naoko already up?"
He turned around and went to the kitchen.
Starfish turned to look.
"Why did you wake up so early today?"
"The alarm is set on my phone."
"Didn't you wake her up?"
"I changed it to vibrating... although Auntie still woke up later."
"Let's go to sleep again."
"Yes."
The two were shoulder to shoulder, intimate and natural, as if they were like this every morning when she didn't see them.
Haixing quickly looked away, but when she heard him speak, she couldn't help but turn her head and look around.
Zizi——
Bacon is cooking in the pan.
Although neither Matsu Chiaki nor Miss Sato got up, Naoko still prepared breakfast for five people.
"Leave it alone, they will get up by themselves if they are hungry."
After breakfast, the three of them went to school together.
When we arrived at the bus stop, Morimi asked Haixing about yesterday's situation. She smiled before she spoke, and he knew the result.
"Then he and you..."
Morimi looked at Naruse and said, "There is no reason to continue to confront each other in the future."
Starfish pursed her lower lip, "Probably..."
"It's been so long, your relationship should return to normal." She added, "But don't worry, take your time."
Starfish can only nod.
"At least finish today's exam first."
"I will work hard..."
Mori smiled and said, "Come on."
After a while, the Takigawa sisters came to the platform, and the bus soon followed.
When we arrived at school, the exam information on the classroom blackboard had been updated.
The remaining exams will all be solved today, and the first one in the morning is mathematics.
No matter how easy yesterday's exam was, Hikaru Takigawa still looked prepared to face mathematics.
"Don't be too nervous."
Looking back and noticing her state, Naruse smiled and said, "But don't relax too much."
Takigawa Hikaru lay on the table, resting his chin on his notebook, "Where can I relax..."
"You are so nervous now. When you get the test paper and find that it is not as difficult as you imagined, you will relax unconsciously."
Naruse looked at her, "Then he will be negligent."
"..."
Hikari Takigawa looked up at him for a while, sat up straight, took a deep breath, and patted his face again.
"Okay, then relax a little bit. - Do you have any techniques to maintain the state that Harumi mentioned, not too nervous but not too relaxed?"
Naruse thought for a while.
"Do the questions."
"Eh..."
At nine o'clock in the morning, the math test papers were distributed and the first exam started on time.
......
At 2:50 in the afternoon, as the bell rang, the last exam ended on time.
"Okay, time's up. Everyone, stop."
The invigilator on the podium stood up, and the students below also showed expressions of relief.
Morimi stared at the answer to the last question, and was one of the few people whose expression did not change.
After taking the test paper passed from the back seat and handing it to the front desk along with her own test paper, she relaxed and straightened her arms and stretched a little.
The final exam of the second semester has come to an end.
Today is Friday. After a short two-day break, they still have to go back to school and continue classes until the graduation ceremony on the day before Christmas.
At that time, the results of the final exam will also be distributed to everyone.
All the results...
Morimi looked forward to the final result of his hard work for a semester, and then turned to look at the other side of the classroom.
Because this exam was not too difficult, after the exam, there were much fewer lamentations in the class than before.
On the seats, the expressions on Starfish's faces were mostly relaxed.
Sensing the eyes from the other side of the classroom, she also looked over, and Morimi smiled at her.
After a while, the spiritual leader of some first-year students came over from the other side of the corridor, flanked by her followers.
"I'm done with the exam—I can finally relax seriously today."
"Where are you going?"
"Anywhere will do."
She soon came to the classroom of Class E, "Starfish."
"Light."
Takigawa Hikaru smiled, "Want to go out to play?"
"Okay."
Haixing immediately agreed, then hesitated, "Where are you going?"
"I haven't decided yet."
"When will you come back?"
Takigawa Hikaru looked at her and understood, "Haixing, do you have anything else to do?"
"Well...his mother asked me to go to his house to play today."
"Chun Hai's mother?"
"Hmm."
Takigawa Hikaru thought for a moment, "Yue also wants to visit Harumi's mother, so let's come back early - and then go there together."
"Okay."
Morimi watched from his seat. Even though he did not participate in the conversation between the two and could not hear clearly, he still took a guess from each other's expressions.
The final exam was over, and she had no reason to stop Haixing from going out to play. She gave Takigawa Hikaru an unintentional smile and said no more.
Not long after, the teacher of Class E came over to hold a night class meeting. Hikaru Takigawa saw Yuki Nakahara in the corridor and returned to Class C with her.

"...After the weekend, classes will continue next week, but there are only a few days left - even so, we can't slack off too much."
Nakahara Xue was speaking on the podium, but the students below didn't want to listen carefully and raised the volume slightly.
"In addition, students who fail the final exam will need to go back to school in the first few days to take tutoring and make-up exams."
Naruse turned to look at Hikaru Takigawa, and she gave him a confident smile.
The evening class meeting did not last long and ended quickly.
The ban on club activities has been lifted with the end of the final exam. Naruse and Naoko just went to the club room to show up and did not stay long.
——There are often club activities, but Matsu Qianqiu is not often there. The two of them even put aside their regular dinner after school on Friday.
He went back with Morimi, whom he met at the bus stop. As soon as he arrived home, Naruse saw Chiaki Matsu and Miss Sato sitting on the sofa, discussing something.
"Ah, Chunhai, Shangzi, welcome back."
She looked as usual, but Naruse suddenly had a premonition, "Are you going to go back and continue shooting?"
Song Qianqiu smiled at the assistant and said, "Let me just say that Chunhai will be able to guess it very quickly."
Ms. Sato shrugged, "I'll go back to Tokyo tomorrow morning and start shooting in the afternoon - the director is eager to use his work to prove that his health is fine."
"And in order to catch up with the filming schedule, I may have to wait a few days before coming back at the end of the year. Is that okay?" Matsu Qianqiu asked.
It's only been more than a week since the end of the year, and Naruse shook his head.
"Take care of your side."
In the evening, Haixing and Takikawa sisters came to the door together. They also learned that Matsu Qianqiu would be leaving tomorrow, and each expressed their reluctance.
"If you have time, you can come over and visit the class." Miss Sato said from the side.
Takigawa Yue actually wanted to go, "How can I have this time..."
Starfish was also somewhat moved, but did not speak.
What's more deep in her heart is the regret of having to separate again after a long separation.
The three of them stayed at Naruse's house until late at night. The Takikawa sisters left first, and Matsu Chiaki invited Haixing to stay overnight again.
