Seeing his final score, Haixing squeezed the test paper in his hand and almost shouted.
Passed!
She passed the make-up exam!
After getting rid of the make-up exam that tortured her for a week, the first thing Haixing wanted to do was to contact her friends.
"Nanazi, where are you? I passed the make-up exam!"
There was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone, and with the sound of music, they seemed to be in a karaoke room.
"Everyone - Haixing said she passed the make-up exam."
"Hey, did you just pass it?"
"Hahaha, that idiot!"
Haixing is not angry at being laughed at by his friends. Poor academic performance is a common situation among hot girls. It is not as harmful as laughing at each other's blond hair.
"Haixing...is she the girl standing on the far right in the group photo you took before?"
Amid the noisy jeering, Haixing seemed to hear a completely unfamiliar male voice.
Is this their new friend Nanako?
"Hey, where are you?" she asked again.
The other end of the phone suddenly became quieter. When Nanazi spoke again, her voice was much clearer than before. It seemed that she had come out of the private room.
"Haixing should be able to hear it, we are in the karaoke bar here at the station."
"Which private room? I'll come over now..."
"It's too late."
"Eh?" Haixing was stunned.
"The starfish moves too slowly. Look what time it is now. Everyone is about to disperse. Let's go out and play again tomorrow."
Looking at the sky outside the corridor, dusk was approaching, and the disappointment on Starfish's face could not be concealed, "Okay."
"Hang up."
"Bye..."
Toot——
Haixing put away her phone.
Disappointment is a disappointment, no matter what, she finally got out of the quagmire of make-up exams, and it’s not too late to go play again tomorrow.
Haixing calmed down and returned to the classroom, only to find that Morimi Kazuha hadn't gone back yet.
"How is it?" Morimi asked directly, apparently waiting for her.
Haixing was a little moved and waved the test paper in his hand, "Passed!"
"All?"
"Well, all of them!"
Morimi pushed up his glasses and smiled, "That's good."
"Thank you, Morimi." Haixing understood that he could pass the make-up exam in one go today only because of her dedicated tutoring last weekend.
In response to her thanks, Morimi just nodded.
"Ah, by the way, today's duty..."
"I've already done it for you."
Haixing opened her mouth and solemnly thanked her again.
When she lowered her head, she didn't see the flash of disappointment on Morijian's face.
For friends who have grown up together, isn’t this trivial matter appropriate?
She can feel that Haixing's gratitude to her is sincere, but she can also feel the distance between it.
——Grateful, but keep a respectful distance.
Just like how ordinary students feel when facing a respected teacher.
Morimi admitted that he was a little more serious when he tutored her two days ago, but that was entirely because Haixing was in a mess in terms of learning ability and even attitude. She didn't keep a straight face, and Haixing would touch his phone every three to two minutes. p>
She was inevitably a little depressed, and she became even more depressed because she couldn't express her emotions.
"It's getting late, it's almost time to go back."
"Yeah, that's right."
Morijian had already packed his things, picked up his bag and left.
Haixing returned to his seat and lingered for a while. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of her waiting at the door. He straightened up his chest and quickened his pace to clean up.
Seeing all this, Morimi felt his heart surge again.
"Long time waiting..."
"Let's go."
The two left the school together, and when passing by the coffee shop, Haixing glanced inside unconsciously.
It was already getting late, and there were not many student customers left inside.
All the way to the bus stop, Morimi was startled, and then glanced at the starfish beside him.
The latter curled his lips and noticed the two people sitting there before she did.
"Naoko, Naruse."
Morimi said hello.
Naruse looked over and then at the starfish behind her, knowing clearly in her heart, "Thank you for your hard work."
Senjian said yes.
Haixing stood in the corner of the platform, nodded to Naoko, and only glanced at Naruse.
He didn't pay any attention to her either.
"Have you been busy in the club until now when you come back so late?" Morimi asked Naoko.
"No." Naoko smiled, "I sat in the cafe with Harunami for a while, and accidentally missed the bus."
Seeing that she looked happier that she missed the bus than she did if she caught it, Morimi understood that this was just an excuse.
"Really?"
Looking at the two people sitting side by side, a thought suddenly came to her mind:
These two people are not living together now, in a deeper sense.
The last time there was a party at Naruse's house, Sister Takigawa was confused and focused on the food or Matsu Chiaki, but she heard a lot of unexpected content in the casual chat.
For example, in the past four years, Naoko has actually been keeping in touch with Naruse;
Another example is that Matsu Qianqiu plans to let Shangzi, who lives next door, move in directly...
To her, most people's thoughts are obvious, but in Naoko, all she can see is Naruse's shadow.
It seems that it has been like this ever since Shangzi changed his surname to this flower.
The distance between the two people is already infinitely close to zero, so it is natural for them to get closer to each other.
After all, the adults of both families are not here, and both of them are in their vigorous adolescence...
After staring at Naoko and thinking about it for a while, Morimi came back to his senses and suddenly found Naruse looking at him.
"What's wrong?"
"This is what I want to ask, what's wrong with Morimi? Your face seems to be red."
"..."
Naoko also looked over, and Morimi raised his hand to push up his glasses, covering half of his face.
"You saw it wrong."
He just mentioned it casually without saying anything, and then looked in the direction of the bus.
Shangzi stared at her red ears twice, but just smiled.
After lifting the bag on his shoulder, Morimi turned around and faced the two of them.
Too bad...
It was all because she had opened a few sensual novels collected in the store before, which caused her to unconsciously start delusional according to the plots in the books.
Shangzi, I'm sorry...
Morimi silently apologized to the delusional heroine in his heart, and then was surprised by his own state.
Is she anxious?
The brain uses delusions to relieve stress without authorization.
Morijian's eyes turned and fell on the starfish beside him.
No, it’s just that some of the previous expectations finally came to nothing.
A self-righteous expectation.
"..."
Haixing was stunned for a moment.
Did she hear it wrong? Did Morimi just look at her and sigh?
Why?
Didn’t you pass the make-up exam?
"——The bus is coming." Someone on the platform warned garrulously.
"It's finally here." Haixing turned to Morimi and said, observing her expression.
"Yes." Morimi just nodded, his calm face no different from usual, as if the sigh just now was really her illusion.
The bus swayed away from the city and headed towards Soma.
On the way, only the four Naruses got off the train at Aoyagi.
Haixing walked forward without looking back, followed by Morimi, then Naruse and Naoko. But when they passed the intersection going home, neither of them made a turn.
Morimi slowed down a little and asked, "Do you want to go to the supermarket?"
"Yeah."
"I also have something to buy."
"Yeah." Naruse nodded.
Taking the lead back to his hotel, Haixing looked back at the three people who continued to walk together, and suddenly felt a little tight in his chest.
