Except for Ryohei Kamoi who came over to say hello on the first day of school, Naruse had little interaction with the other boys in Class C. In the past two days, they had been looking at him with various looks.
It wasn't until the afternoon physical education class that he really communicated with the boys.
"In again!"
The goalkeeper who missed the goal fell on the grass, looking at the ball rolling and stopping in the net, with an extremely exaggerated unwillingness on his face, as if this could attribute the loss of the ball to the opponent's excessive strength, and he was already
Try your best.
It's just that at this time, no one cares about his "performance" at all.
"Real or false..."
The boy who assisted the goal slumped on the ground, panting and complaining, "You are handsome, you study well, you are so good at sports, you should go to Saint High School instead."
Naruse, who broke directly into the goal, put his hands on his knees, breathing heavily as well, and just smiled when he heard this. Seiko is the best private high school in Tsumae, with many outstanding students.
"It's 6-0, are you still going to play?" asked another boy.
The boys opposite shook their heads one after another, "Let's take a rest. I really can't run anymore, so take a rest."
So the impromptu football match ended here, and the boys dragged their bodies and sat down on the edge of the field.
Naruse followed him over. The sports clothes he was wearing were out of place, and he was sitting not too far away from the boys.
After the physical education class started, the sturdy physical education teacher took the boys to warm up and then let them exercise on their own.
There was a boy's organization to play football. After searching around, he found a transfer student who was doing nothing, so he agreed.
Counting just now, in one game, Naruse scored four goals by himself, which made other boys on the court speechless.
Bang, bang, bang——
Faintly hearing a familiar sound coming from outside the playground wall, Naruse pricked up his ears, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
"It's the Jinnan Railway's tram." The boy next to him suddenly said.
Naruse suddenly realized that it was the sound of a tram running over the rails.
The boy still looked at him, moved his hips and got closer, "Naruse-san...right?"
"Naruse Harumi."
"I am Kobayashi Masaru."
He stretched out his hand and shook it with Naruse.
"Oh, Naruse-san played really well just now. Did you practice in Tokyo?"
Naruse hesitated for half a second, then nodded, "I've been practicing for a while."
He did practice football, although all the practice time was in physical education class.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Linzheng saw the insincerity of his words, "Actually, it's just that we played too badly, right?"
"..."
The two looked at each other, and then they both laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
Another boy came over.
Ten minutes later, Naruse, who was talking about his life in Tokyo, suddenly found that almost all the boys in Class C were surrounding him, with their necks and heads raised, like baby birds waiting to be fed.
Now he has become "Naruse" or "Naruse-san" and is no longer a "transfer student".
"Naruse-san, I heard about your..."
Another boy spoke, but was knocked on the arm by the person next to him, as if to stop him from continuing.
"Uh, um, I heard that girls in Tokyo are very proactive. Is this true?"
Naruse looked at the two people pulling and said, "It depends on the situation."
"What's going on?"
"What else could it be?" Another boy interrupted, "With a handsome guy like Naruse, girls will take the initiative; with a boy like Tsuchikawa, girls will never take the initiative in their lives."
"Hey!"
In the midst of laughter, he was about to ask this question, but Naruse suddenly realized: the question that was blocked before it was asked was probably related to Matsu Chiaki.
He thought for a while and said: "My mother said that appearance is always only the most superficial charm of a man."
"..."
The boys suddenly became quiet.
After a while, someone hesitated and said, "Naruse-san's mother is that Matsushita..."
"Song Qianqiu."
Taking advantage of the good atmosphere at this time, Naruse decided to take a risk and clarify some things.
"If you don't know me, then I can only think that our place is indeed very rural."
Several people laughed on the spot.
"No, no, how could it be possible... Forget about the others, Ms. Chiaki Matsu is a Japanese national idol who came out of Tsumae. My sister's room still has a poster of her starring in Ms. Apple."
No one would say that they don’t know Song Qianqiu, who has become even more prosperous after her comeback. What they care more about are the rumors surrounding her.
"So, are all those things about Miss Song true?" One of the boys still asked.
Naruse looked over with a calm expression, "What things?"
The gathered attention shifted to the boy again. He gritted his teeth and said:
"It's about Miss Song's ambiguous relationship with many male artists. Hasn't she remarried many times?"
"Three times, to be precise."
Naruse looked at the other person, "As for the so-called ambiguity, it all happened when she was single.
She is very popular, and her suitors all have their own outstanding aspects. Before finally deciding to accept one of them, I think it is understandable to spend more time choosing and even enjoying the feeling of being pursued."
"That's what she said, but every time she remarried, it didn't last for a year or two, and then she got divorced again."
"This is because passion can lead to marriage, and what keeps a marriage going is a common tolerance for dullness."
Naruse continued to repeat calmly what Chiaki Matsu once said, "When one of the parties is more keen on pursuing passion, ending the marriage is a natural choice."
"..."
The boy was speechless, then nodded and said no more.
"Wow...that's amazing!"
The other boy on his left looked at Naruse blankly, "Naruse-san knows so thoroughly, he must have been in love many times in Tokyo, right? Can I call you the love master?"
Many boys nodded along, obviously feeling the same way.
Naruse smiled and breathed a sigh of relief quietly, but it had nothing to do with his love.
When the boys' focus shifted easily, he understood that his adventure had been successful and that the previous situation would never happen again;
Even if anyone is affected by some rumors about Matsu Qianqiu in the future, they probably won’t dare to make trouble in front of him.
Putting away his relief and joy, he said: "Not once."
"Eh? Are you lying..."
"It's absolutely true."
"Then what is the relationship between Naruse and Ika-san? You look very familiar."
More than half of the boys looked at him, nervously waiting for his answer, while the other half also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"..."
Naoko is gentle and beautiful, but Naruse has been away for many years, and only now can she truly feel her popularity among boys.
"Shangzi and I are childhood sweethearts."
"That's it?"
"Yeah."
One of the boys suddenly became a little excited:
"This is like this now, but we will definitely get together in the future, right? Our childhood sweethearts finally get married. Isn't it a game, a manga or a light novel?"
Before Naruse could say anything, another boy spoke.
"Wait a minute, if Naruse and Noka-san are childhood sweethearts, doesn't he have the same relationship with Takigawa?"
Naruse: "That's right..."
"Wait a minute, the literature girl who is the top grader in Class E seems to have grown up with this classmate."
Literary girl? This fits Morimi's image quite well, Naruse thought to himself.
"So does the blond!"
"There are quite a few blond hairs in Class E."
"Of course it's the pretty one, the others are just monsters."
"Wow, you have such a vicious mouth, be careful of those hot girls looking for someone to block you."
"So..." The boys quickly stopped arguing and focused their attention on Naruse's face, "Naruse and them are both childhood sweethearts?"
This is an indisputable fact. He has nothing to deny, "That's right..."
"Damn it!"
After venting their jealousy frankly, the boys ignored Naruse's wishes and began to analyze for him who is the king among kings according to their own preferences.
"Hey!"
The boys rested too long after playing football and blatantly gathered together to chat, which finally attracted the roar of the physical education teacher.
"Oops, get up! Where's the ball!"
"Still in the net!"
"Run first!"
Amidst the commotion, the bell finally rang.
On the other side of the playground, the team of girls from Class C is also gathering.
Hikaru Takigawa looked at the figures gathered on the football field from a distance, and said to Naoko who was walking in front of him: "Harumi seems to be familiar with the boys."
Shangzi nodded and kept paying attention to that side.
Takigawa Hikari looked over there, "I don't know what they talked about, but they were a little concerned about it."
"Probably some common topics among boys." Shangzi said casually.
The two looked at each other and spoke at the same time.
