Holding his head with one hand, Naruse looked down at the notes and turned the pen with the other hand, but it was difficult to concentrate as usual.
There was a faint sound of broadcasting from the other side of the gymnasium.
Not only him, no one in the classroom at this time can focus on what is in front of him.
The rotating pen fell steadily into his hand, and he casually wrote down half a British proverb in his notebook.
“March es in like a lion.”
March of this year came sooner than expected.
The first day of March is also the graduation day for the third-year students of Tianjin High School.
At this time, the graduation ceremony of the third grade is taking place in Jingao Gymnasium.
On the radio, the principal's speech was coming to an end.
"...The days at Tsuzen High School are over, but your life has just begun. Take a new step forward boldly——"
The applause that followed lasted for a long time and could be heard in the classroom without the need for broadcasting.
In the self-study class, there is no teacher sitting on the stage, and the communication below is relatively restrained.
"The principal's speech is over." Someone said, "The graduate representative will speak next."
"Who is this year's graduate representative and the last student president?"
"Where is his turn? Of course it's Takigawa's sister, the scholar in the third grade... She seems to have been admitted to Northeastern University."
I have already been admitted, Naruse said in his heart.
A few nights ago, Takigawa Yue's admission notice from Northeastern University was handed over to him.
He looked back at Takigawa Hikari, and she looked at him and said:
"Chunhai, it's Yue's turn to speak on stage soon, let's go and see."
"...now?"
"Yes." Hikari Takigawa stood up and walked out of the back door of the classroom in a dignified manner.
Naruse looked at Naoko, and she nodded, showing no intention of following.
He also got up and left the classroom.
"Ah, Takigawa and Naruse went out..."
"I'm going to the gym."
"Quiet, we're still in class now." The chairman of Class C looked at the two people in the corridor, feeling helpless, but he couldn't control them either.
He was lucky enough that no one else imitated him.
The two were about to go down the middle staircase and walked outside the classroom of Class E. Naruse glanced inside and met Morimi's slightly surprised look.
"..."
She glanced at Hikari Takigawa who was walking in front again, and quickly understood.
——After all, even Haixing can see what the two are planning and is ready to make a move.
But before the two people in the corridor reached the front door of the classroom, she couldn't help it anymore.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Haixing said this to the chairman, got up and left the classroom.
Watching the three people disappear, Morimi yawned, lowered his head and continued reading.
"...Next item: Let Yue Takikawa, the third-year graduate representative, come on stage to speak..."
There was a sound on the radio, and Hikari Takigawa quickened his pace.
When we went down to the first floor, the third grade classroom was already empty.
As Haixing walked, he turned around to look, and bumped into Naruse who suddenly stopped.
"..."
He glanced back, said nothing, and turned back again.
Holding his back with his hand, Haixing noticed that a teacher appeared in front of him.
"The first grade get out of class hasn't finished yet." He looked at the three of them and said to Takigawa Hikaru.
She clasped her hands together and said, "Please——"
He waved his hand, glanced at Naruse and Haixing behind him, and turned back to the staff room.
The three of them walked past here quickly.
"I remember that Shuchuan was usually very strict..." Haixing still remembered the teacher's reprimand just now.
"The only exception is today." Naruse said.
"It's okay, he knows me." Hikaru Takigawa looked back at them, "Quick, it will start soon."
Passing through the corridor, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the gymnasium.
Takigawa Hikaru poked her head in, and several teachers standing behind them immediately looked over. They thought it was a late third-year student, but they were surprised when they saw the color of her tie. When they saw her face clearly, they didn't know.
tube.
She walked in directly, then turned back to greet Naruse and Haixing.
"..."
Feeling the gazes coming from left and right, Haixing lowered his head and followed Naruse, only to bump into him again when he stopped.
"Sorry..."
"Shh." He didn't look back. He waved his hand behind his back and looked at the other side of the gymnasium.
The representative of the third-year graduates has already taken the stage and walked to the microphone at this time.
"Answer."
Facing the microphone, Takigawa Yue looked at the teachers, students and parents sitting below, and then looked at the entrance of the gymnasium, where there were three more standing figures.
Every figure looked familiar, and she smiled.
"In March, in the harsh spring cold, I can gradually feel a little different from the warmth of yesterday.
In this season when the snow has not yet melted and spring is quietly sending greetings, our third-grade students have also ushered in the moment of graduation."
Naruse looked at it from a distance, then looked at Hikaru Takigawa next to her. She was listening more intently than the third-year graduates in front of her.
The starfish was still looking around, slightly uneasy.
"It's okay, those teachers have no time to talk to us now." He whispered.
"Well..."
Starfish nodded slowly, moved closer to him, and looked forward.
The third-grade students sat neatly together according to their classes, and in front were the teachers in charge of each third-grade class. On the seats on both sides of the students were the parents of the graduates who were invited to attend the graduation ceremony.
For example, Sister Guang and Yue’s parents.
She came to school with the Takikawa family this morning - Sister Yue asked her to help her put on light makeup, and then drove her to school.
The Jingao Wind Band appeared on the stage early and was waiting quietly aside.
This stage now only belongs to one person.
"...Growth will never stop, and in the soil of Jingao Prefecture, we get not only the nutrients of knowledge, but also the care of teachers as warm as the sun, and the care of seniors and juniors in all grades as warm as spring rain.
Nourishing. Yes, growth will never stop, during the three years in Jingao..."

"...The sweat and tears that have been shed will always soak into the land of Jingao and will never freeze, because this is the starting point of spring and our starting point.
I wish you all good health and wish Jingao Prefecture develop better in the future.
Let’s move towards the future together.
Graduate representative, Yue Takigawa."
Amid the prolonged applause from the audience, the graduate representative bowed deeply and ended his speech.
The three people standing at the back also kept clapping their hands.
"Next item, school song chorus——"
The wind band on the stage started playing again, and the familiar melody resounded throughout the stadium.
After the chorus ended, the graduation ceremony ended, and the three Naruses left first.
Not long after returning to the classroom, Naruse heard the coming back of the third grade students below.
After a while, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.
"Go and have a look."
People kept leaving the classroom and going downstairs to say goodbye to familiar seniors from the third grade, or just to watch the fun.
Naruse and Naoko also came to the corridor, lying on the guardrail and looking at the atrium below.
The weather is very good today, and there are people taking photos everywhere.
Except for Takigawa Yue, the two of them had no other acquaintances in the third grade, so they didn't go down to join in the fun.
"Ah." Shangzi looked somewhere.
Naruse also looked over and saw a somewhat familiar second-year girl pulling a third-year boy towards an invisible place.
"Senior Inagawa?"
"Yeah."
That's a senior from the restoration department.
The two of them saw many familiar faces underneath, either congratulating their seniors on their graduation with smiles on their faces, or reluctant to part with them.
Just like they are closer to the second-year students, the current second-year students have also come here under the care of the third-year seniors.
"Over there..."
Shangzi also noticed the third-year seniors who were surrounded by a group of second-year students in a corner.
"It's Ito-senpai."
Naruse also looked over and found that there were surprisingly many familiar faces there, all members of the restoration department.
In addition, there is also an "acquaintance" from the handicraft club among them, Ritsuko Sugiyama.
"That person is..."
"The previous director of the Handicraft Club, Rei Ito."
Naruse looked at Rina Ogawa, who was wiping away tears, and said, "That's it."
"Shangzi, do you want to go down and say hello?"
"Forget it."
She shook her head, "Although I am an old director, when I entered the handicraft club, I had already quit in the third grade, so she probably doesn't know me."
Naruse nodded and said nothing more.
The two of them watched from afar for a while, then the preparation bell rang, indicating that the short break was over.
Back in the classroom, when the bell rang for class, Naruse looked back again.
