The Christmas party is scheduled to start at three o'clock in the afternoon, and around one o'clock in the afternoon, many people gathered in the stadium.
"I'm so anxious..."
Standing on the edge of the rooftop of the annex building, Naruse lowered his head and looked at the figures below, his eyes following them towards the gymnasium.
"Because everyone is really looking forward to it." Shangzi said from behind.
"But if you enter early, it can also reduce the pressure on the student union."
He looked at her twice more, returned to her side, and helped turn over the things that had been brought up from the club room to bask in the sun one by one.
"It's rare for the sun to come out. Let's stay in the sun for a while and then take it back before the party officially starts." She said.
Naruse squinted and looked at the sky. The sun was still shining, but the clouds were also getting thicker. Read a book
"Hmm."
The two quickly returned to the club room downstairs.
After the closing ceremony in the morning, most members of the restoration department came here, and everyone will attend the Christmas party in the afternoon.
Across the school, there are many people attending the Christmas party. Even among the third-year candidates who are about to take the exam, a considerable number of students have signed up.
Shangzi sat down, "When Guang came here in the morning, he said that Sister Yue would also come to the party."
"Well, it's not too late for the party to end, and you can still go to school." Naruse said.
"No, just say that Sister Yue will stay until five o'clock at most and then leave."
"It's so hard."
By about 2:30 in the afternoon, the senior students in the club could not sit still and left one after another.
Naruse looked at the sky outside the window. Thick clouds were rolling in, and the sun was now and then gone.
"It's almost getting dark, please take your things back."
"Okay."
The two of them ran twice to take everything drying on the rooftop back to the club room.
"After being exposed to the sun, I feel a lot more fluffy."
"Yeah. It's a pity that the wind is too strong, otherwise I would also like to bask in the sun on the rooftop for a while."
Feeling that the time was almost up, Naruse and Naoko also went downstairs to the gymnasium.
At the door, several members of the student union were in charge of registration.
"Class and name...ah, you guys are here."
Looking up and seeing the two people who came to register, the vice president immediately smiled and said, "Thanks to Naruse-san, today's Christmas party can be held smoothly."
"No, I just put forward some suggestions on paper. It is the seniors of the student union who really realize all this." Naruse said.
She smiled slightly and without saying much, registered the two of them and let them in.
The surrounding cloth has been drooped, and only a few small lights are turned on in the gymnasium for lighting. It is dim but not difficult to see clearly, and the atmosphere is full.
In the center of the venue, a colorful light ball suspended in mid-air rotates slowly, and the colorful lights are projected down, making it dazzling and colorful.
On the stage, the Christmas tree carefully crafted by the restoration department is also eye-catching.
Colorful string lights surround the circle and circle, and the light shines from between the branches and leaves, and also outlines the outline of the Christmas tree.
"Ah, the base is also decorated."
The two passed under the stage and found that the wooden base of the Christmas tree had been covered up by gift boxes of various colors.
"What an ingenious idea. Covering it with wooden boards creates a better atmosphere."
"Yes."
The entire stadium is a party venue. Although there are many people, it does not seem crowded. Long tables are set up around it, providing food and hot drinks, and there are people specially distributing them.
Naruse had no appetite for the time being, so he ordered a cup of hot milk for himself and Shangzi respectively.
The two of them swayed aimlessly.
"Is the Christmas party that Harumi attended in Tokyo also like this?"
"It's more or less the same. It's just that there are fewer people and everyone is more casual."
Shangzi smiled and looked around.
"Everyone is still a little bit reluctant to let go."
"If you can't let go, there will be nothing but boredom besides eating and drinking."
After a while, the time came to three o'clock, the lights in the venue suddenly turned on, and the student president appeared in the center of the stage and said a few words briefly.
"Then, please enjoy today's party——"
"oh——"
Amidst the cheers, most of the lights dimmed again, returning to the ambiguous darkness just now.
Wandering around casually, Naruse and Naoko were temporarily separated, and were dragged away by their respective friends.
"How should I put it...I feel a bit bored." Xiao Linzheng said.
"Are there any other activities?" Another boy took over, "Let's play games or something together."
Naruse took a sip of milk and said, "If you want to play games, you have to prepare them yourself. After all, there are so many people here, you can't expect the student union to take care of them - look over there, aren't those people already playing?
."
"We don't have this experience either."
"It's okay. Let's eat and drink. Let's chat together. Time will pass quickly." Naruse took another sip of milk to warm his stomach and body.
"Don't show such an expression that you are tired of playing in this kind of situation. We still want to have some passion..."
"Ah, it's so noisy..."
Most of the noisy ones were boys, while the girls were relatively quiet, mostly enjoying the atmosphere.
"...Doesn't this make you feel like an adult?"
"If you drink wine instead of juice."
"Speaking of which, after I go to college, there seem to be a lot of bars, social gatherings and the like."
"It's too early to consider such a thing now."
Naoko listened quietly, occasionally glancing at Naruse who was hanging out with the boys not far away.
"Shangzi~"
Hikaru Takigawa came over from nowhere and took his sister with him.
"Guang, Sister Yue." Shangzi smiled at the two of them.
"Naoko is alone? Haixing is eating there. Where is Harumi, isn't he with Naoko?"
"What Chunhai said..." Naoko turned around and glanced, but didn't see him, "He was still there just now."
She searched again, but still couldn't find him.
"Probably with the boys." Hikaru Takigawa said, "Let's go find starfish and have something to eat by the way."
"Well..."
On the other side, Naruse was pulled by the boys and watched a group of second-year students playing darts.
"Isn't it too dangerous to play darts in a place like this?"
"Don't say such boring things...Can Naruse know how to play?"
"I've played it a few times before."
"Then you can go up and play too."
"Forget it, I'm not interested." Naruse looked back, but Naoko was nowhere to be seen.
"Does anyone want to try it?"
The second-year seniors who were surrounded in the middle waved the darts in their hands and extended invitations to the surrounding audience.
There were so many onlookers, but only a few people dared to try it.
"Don't worry, these are magnetic darts. There is no danger at all. It's very simple - is it true that no one comes up to try it?"
He shouted twice more, and finally someone was willing to go up, and they had a great time under the guidance.
"It seems quite simple. Naruse, let's go have some fun too... Hmm? Where is Naruse?"
Naruse, who had just walked away, turned around a little, but did not see Naoko.
While walking through a corner at the edge of the stadium, he saw a familiar figure.
"I thought Morimi wouldn't come today."
She leaned against the wall, looked at him, and after a few seconds said, "Haixing dragged me here."
"Where is she?"
"Going to find juice that 'looks delicious'."
"Really?"
The edges of darkness, the reflection of the lenses, and the expression on Morimi's face are blurry.
Naruse came closer and looked at her.
"What are you doing?" She looked over, still calm.
"Just wanted to check on your status."
"Still alive."
"I see it."
Naruse also walked to the wall and leaned against it, looking at the dim party venue.
Both of them were silent for a while.
"Second in grade?"
"He is the top student in the grade besides Naruse - can you go back to Tokyo quickly?"
