Get up without any delay, get dressed, wash up, and go out after breakfast.
"I'm going out——"
Saying goodbye to his father, when Haixing walked through the snow to the bus stop, Morimi, Naoko and Naruse were already waiting.
"Good morning." She took the initiative to say hello to the three of them.
"Good morning."
Morimi looked at her face and said, "It seems there is no problem."
"It's just an ordinary fever. When you came to see me yesterday, you had almost recovered." Haixing said.
Naruse also nodded when she looked over. This was the first time the two met after they completely reconciled.
Each other has a unique feeling.
"You look quite energetic today."
"Yeah." Haixing smiled.
She also said hello to Naoko, and she stood next to Morimi, waiting for the bus.
More and more people came to wait for the bus.
"I feel a little uncomfortable..." Morimi said suddenly.
"What?"
"The way a starfish goes to school with great energy."
Haixing laughed, glanced at Naruse on the other side, and straightened his body again.
"A new semester, a new beginning...of course you have to keep your spirits up."
Morimi also smiled.
"Well, it's good to be energetic."
Although she is even a little too energetic now.
The spirit is so... unreal.
The time during the day passes quickly.
For most students, the novelty of returning to school after a half-month break is quickly diluted by the boring classes as usual.
After school in the afternoon, after listening to Nakahara Yuki's nagging, Naruse packed up his things and went to the club with Naoko to show up.
"Shangzi, long time no see~"
"Long time no see, senior sister, happy new year."
Other members of the club also came over one after another. They hadn’t seen each other during the winter vacation. The girls greeted each other and chatted enthusiastically.
"I brought some snacks from my relatives. Let's try them together."
"Okay, I'll make tea."
"Making tea?...Hey, when did you bring the hot water kettle?"
"Oh... I've actually become a little interested in tea ceremony recently."
Naruse sat aside and received some snacks and a cup of hot tea.
"Thank you."
The girls sat in a circle. Ogawa Rina looked around and then at Naoko:
"Everyone seems to have almost arrived, let's start the club meeting now."
She nodded. This was originally planned for yesterday afternoon, but it was postponed because she decided to go back to visit the starfish.
The third semester starts in mid-January and ends at the end of March. It doesn't last long, and there are no special activities in the school during this period. This club meeting focuses on a longer-term content.
"After the third semester, we sophomores will basically have to retire and prepare for next year's exams."
Ogawa Rina represents the second-year members of the club, "So the recruitment activities in April will depend on you first-year students... Of course, we will still help when needed."
Shangzi and several first-year members looked at each other and smiled faintly.
"Minister, what are your plans?" Ogawa Rina asked.
Shangzi thought for a while and said: "Sisters, I have had experience recruiting new people in the handicraft club. I want to hear your opinions first."
"Okay, let's let Maiko speak first. She and Ritsuko were responsible for recruiting new people last year."
Maiko Takemoto, who was sitting on the other side, nodded and explained it to the first-grade girls from the perspective of someone who had been there.
"First of all, according to past practice..."
Takemoto-senpai was talking eloquently, while Naruse sat in the corner drinking tea and listening absentmindedly.
Since there is past practice, there is no need for him to come up with ideas for this kind of matter. When the time comes, he will just do whatever the minister Naoko says.
"——I'm sorry."
Following several knocks on the door, the boy appeared at the door of the club room, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The visitor was a first-year student, "This is the restoration department."
"Yes."
The club meeting was temporarily suspended, and Shangzi responded, "Is there anything that needs to be fixed?"
He did not answer directly, but asked a question that almost everyone who comes to the restoration department for help would ask:
"Can you fix anything?"
Rina Ogawa shrugged to her companion next to her and asked in a loud voice: "Let's first tell you what it is."
"Contax's camera."
Naruse looked over.
When the members of the restoration department heard that it was a difficult request like a camera, they shook their heads.
Naoko looked around, then looked at Naruse. He nodded, stood up and walked towards the door.
"What's the problem?"
"Uh... there are a lot of problems. It's an old camera that hasn't been used in many years. Can you repair it?"
Naruse also shook his head, "I can't. However, I can ask a special consultant from our restoration department to take a look for you."
"Special Advisor?"
"Hmm. Did you bring your camera?"
"Here." The boy picked up his schoolbag and took out an old camera.
Naruse immediately frowned, "It's all rusted like this..."
"It's very old. I only discovered this camera when I was sorting out my grandfather's belongings. I thought that if it could be repaired, I would use it myself."
"I can help you get it and ask." Naruse said, "But it's best not to have expectations."
The other party smiled bitterly, "Sure enough..."
Naruse suddenly asked again: "If it can't be repaired, are you willing to sell it?"
"Hey...will anyone want this old and broken camera even if it can't be repaired?"
"Oldness is also its value."
He agreed almost without hesitation.
"Then leave your contact information so we can discuss the price."
"Okay. Please, Naruse-san."
"...you know me?"
"The first in the grade, who doesn't know me? And I'm from Class E. You are Morimi Kazuyo's boyfriend, right? I've heard about it before."
"..."
Naruse almost missed the camera in his hand.
"Don't talk nonsense."
He glanced into the club room, but fortunately no one heard their conversation.
"Isn't it?" The other party was confused.
"Of course not."
"During the final exam last semester..."
"Rumors."
Naruse didn't say much and exchanged contact information with him.
"I will keep the camera first. I will contact you if there is any situation, Doi-san."
"Okay."
After seeing each other off, Naruse returned to the club room and discussed it with Naoko, who was still having a club meeting.
"I'll go to Mr. Chaoyue's place to see if he can fix it."
"Okay, I'll come find you after school."
Putting away the camera and leaving the restoration department, Naruse was about to change his shoes and go directly to Chao Yueming's second-hand store.
Before he passed through the connecting corridor, he saw Hikaru Takigawa coming from the gymnasium.
She also saw him, "Chun Hai."
"Training is over?"
"No, I didn't train today. It's something behind the gym."
"..."
Does anyone have any more confessions?
"Chunhai is going back? Where is Naoko?"
He briefly explained.
Takigawa Hikaru's eyes lit up, "I'll go with you."
