Opening the shoe cabinet, several boxes of chocolates fell down.
"..."
Naruse only had time to catch one of them, lowered his head to pick it up, and looked at the shoe cabinet again. The column above was already full.
"It's so popular." Morimi said, leaning his head next to him.
Naruse glanced at her and said, "Isn't your shoe cabinet over there?"
"Can't pass by?"
She looked at the various beautifully packaged gift boxes in the shoe cabinet, looked at him again, and turned around to go to Class E's shoe cabinet.
Starfish watched from a distance, glad that he did not choose to give away the chocolate in this way.
But then I thought about it, everyone goes to school together, and she doesn’t have such an opportunity—unless she gets up early.
"It's so free..." She heard Morimi muttered as he came around to change his shoes.
"What?"
"I mean those who spend time on packaging..."
She paused.
The chocolates given by Haixing are not simply packaged.
"No, I mean there are exams today, and those girls still have the heart to get up early to deliver chocolates."
Starfish smiled absently.
Morijian suddenly let out a sigh.
"What's wrong..."
Following her line of sight, she saw Hikaru Takigawa standing in front of the open shoe cabinet, with gift boxes scattered on the ground around him.
"There are so many..." Haixing murmured.
"Yeah."
Morimi shook his head, took out his shoes and replaced them, no longer caring about that.
"Light..."
"It's okay."
After another glance, Haixing also changed his shoes.
In front of the shoe cabinet on the other side, Naoko and Naruse helped Hikaru Takigawa pick up the chocolate gift boxes scattered on the ground.
"How come there are so many."
Takigawa Hikaru smiled happily, picked one up and looked at the name, "They were all given by friends."
Looking at the stuffed shoe cabinet, Naruse shook his head and said, "If you can't fit it anymore, take it up."
"Okay."
The three of them carried the chocolates upstairs, and when they arrived in the classroom, they found more gift boxes on her desk.
"Your popularity is a little too much."
"Haha."
After putting all the chocolates on her table, Naruse came to his seat, feeling something was wrong, and looked down.
"..."
There are also several boxes of chocolates on the desk.
He looked at Shangzi, and she looked at him and smiled at him, not surprised.
"Put it in the locker first." Shangzi said.
"Hmm."
The locker required a key to open, so it was spared.
With the intention of putting them in and not taking them out again, Naruse stuffed the chocolates in the desk into the lockers. He looked at the few gifts given by his companions in his schoolbag, hesitated for a moment, and did not take them out. Anyway, I can still pretend.
As for the chocolates in the lockers and shoe cabinets, just pack them up in a bag and take them back together when you have free time.
Thinking of what Morimi said on the bus, he had a headache again.
"Do I have to return the gift next month..."
He turned around and saw Mitsumasa Takigawa looking through the chocolates on the table one by one. If there is a note on the box, look at it more.
"Light."
She looked up with a smile, "Huh?"
Naruse roughly counted the chocolates on the table, and there were at least fifty or sixty servings.
"Are you going to return the favor for every piece of chocolate?"
"..."
Takigawa Hikaru was startled, then glanced at him and woke up a little.
"I can't afford it."
"So..." She picked up a gift box and shook it, listening to the sound of the chocolates inside hitting back and forth, and looking back and forth.
"If you don't leave your name like this, you don't need to return the gift."
Naruse looked at her and said, "Open it and take a look."
She opened the gift box.
"..."
Inside is a pink card filled with text.
"Ah, it's my destiny..."
After staring at the card in her hand for a while, the smile on her face gradually faded.
Finally, she raised her head and smiled at him.
"It seems I have to repay this gift."
Naruse also smiled and said nothing more.
"It's better to pack it up quickly, we have exams later."
"Chunhai come and help me."
He got up and went over, helping her carry the chocolates and stuff them into the locker.
"I won't open the ones I received." Naruse suddenly muttered.
Takigawa Hikaru glanced at him and laughed, "We can't escape."
"I don't even know them."
"There should be a lot of chocolates given by the girls in Class C. I know some of them."
The two of them stuffed chocolates into the locker, but they couldn't fit even a single box, so they borrowed Naoko's locker.
Several boys came in from the back door and noticed what the two were busy doing. They stopped unconsciously and stood watching.
"What is this...chocolate?"
"Chocolate."
"Are they all given by others?"
The two nodded.
"So many?"
"Hmm."
It wasn't until the two of them stuffed all the chocolates that they moved back to their empty seats.
"The shoe cabinet is empty, the desk is also empty... The guy who plans to give me chocolates is too shy. When do you want to wait? Is school over?"
"Haha."
"Do you think it was accidentally placed in Takigawa's place?"
"...Sober up, Xiaolin."
Before Nakahara Yuki came over for the morning class meeting, many girls came to Class C and personally presented chocolates to Hikari Takigawa.
"Thank you. I'm so happy. I feel like I can no longer calm down and take the exam."
"Okay, I will repeat the grade with Guang."
"Hey, hey, don't repeat the grade. I'm still thinking about being assigned to the same class as Guang after I reach second grade..."
Naruse looked back a few times. The excitement in the back seat continued until the bell rang.
"Everyone returns to their seats..."
Seeing the colorful gift boxes stacked on Takigawa Hikaru's table from a distance, Nakahara Yuki was stunned for a few seconds before remembering what she wanted to say.
"Well, although I can understand everyone's mood, there are more important exams today..."
At nine o'clock in the morning, as the test papers were distributed to each student, the first subject of the annual examination, mathematics, officially started.
This is also the last exam for the first grade.
Naruse glanced over the questions quickly, frowned slightly, and then looked back at Hikaru Takigawa.
After a few seconds, she noticed his gaze and raised her head.
"..."
Relatively speechless, Naruse pointed at the test papers on her desk, and reminded her with as serious an expression as possible: This exam is not easy, so don’t be careless.
She smiled slightly and made an OK gesture.
"——Over there, is there any problem?" The invigilator noticed the little movements of the two people.
"No."
Naruse turned back, looked at Naoko who was looking at him on the other side, and nodded to her.
Seeing him turn his head back, stare at the test paper for a few moments, then pick up the pen and write something, Shang Zi took a slight breath.
So fast...
As expected of Chunhai.
Withdrawing her gaze, she sat up straight, put away all her distracting thoughts, and began to answer.
In this matter, she also needs to get closer to him.
The outline of this volume is almost 7,000 words, and it’s time to wrap up.
In addition, I originally wanted to rest for a few days after returning home to adjust my condition, but I came up with another recommendation... Let’s talk about it at the end of the month or next month.
Next week, we should be able to resume the 5,000-word update.
