Naoko took out a tissue and wiped the mucus on Naruse's face.
Feeling that it couldn't be wiped clean, she turned on the faucet next to the experimental table, soaked a little water, and wiped it on his face.
"..."
Naruse was so cold that he shrank his head, holding down the tissue and her hand, "I'll do it myself - what did Hikaru just say?"
Naoko also looked at Hikaru Takigawa and slowly took out his hand.
"Let's go to Kyoto and join the third-year school trip team."
Naruse took a deep breath, glanced at the squid in the wax plate, and wiped his face vigorously.
"What did you say suddenly?"
Hikaru Takigawa shook his head, "It's not sudden. I have thought about it for several days. I had this plan before. I will be back soon after three days and two nights. It shouldn't be a problem to ask for sick leave here at the school."
"..."
Naruse and Naoko looked at each other, and the latter took the crumpled tissue in his hand.
"It's still very sudden to me." Naruse said.
Takigawa Hikaru smiled and was about to say something when Kuroda Reiko on the podium was attracted by the movement here and walked over.
"Let's talk after class." Naruse whispered.
"Okay."
Looking down at the squid in the dissecting wax plate, and then at the tissue in Naoko's hand, Kuroda Reiko said "be careful" and walked away.
Before get out of class ended, Takigawa Hikari didn't mention this matter again.
Naruse continued the dissection, removed the squid's internal organs, observed them absentmindedly for a while, and then began to draw a simplified diagram of the structure.
"Do I need to mark it?" Hikaru Takigawa asked while drawing.
"Need." Naruse said.
Ten minutes later, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.
After all, they are specimens soaked in formalin solution and are toxic. After the cuttlefish used in the experiment are dissected, they cannot be handled casually by students and must be left in the biology classroom;
Kuroda Reiko stood guard at the door, scanning the students leaving one by one, especially the boys who played with the specimens before.
"What do you think of Harumi?" After leaving the classroom, Takigawa Hikaru talked about going to Kyoto again.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course."
She nodded, "Otherwise I wouldn't have let Chunhai go with me - apart from class, Chunhai has nothing else to do these days, right?"
"That's what I said, but this incident was a bit unexpected and was not part of my plan."
Naruse still shook his head, "Let's forget it."
Takigawa Hikaru raised his arm and hooked his shoulder, "Let's go together."
Shangzi looked over immediately.
Naruse couldn't adapt to her intimacy with girls. While struggling, he said casually: "Next time."
Takigawa Hikaru paused and suddenly remembered something.
She released him, then took out her cell phone from her pocket and clicked a few times.
【Recording playing】
"...I promise, if Guang invites me to hang out next time, if there is no emergency, I will definitely go."
"..."
Listening to his own voice in the recording, Naruse pursed his lower lip, and then spoke after a long while:
"This is not the same thing."
Takigawa Hikaru shook the phone and laughed, "It's the same thing."
"Can going to a place as far away as Kyoto be the same as relaxing after school?"
She opened her eyes wide, "Chunhai has rejected me for more than a month. If you add it all up, it's the same, and there's more."
Naruse was speechless.
After passing through the connecting corridor, returning to the main building, and ascending to the third floor, he said: "I have something to do."
"What happened?"
"I have to..." He looked around, "I have to stay with Shangzi."
Shangzi looked at him and nodded in agreement.
Takigawa Hikaru smiled slightly.
"I don't intend to leave Shangzi behind, let's go together."
"..."
Shangzi was also stunned.
She opened her mouth and then looked at Naruse.
With just one glance, he knew that her heart was moved.
The moment he realized this, he compromised in his heart and even began to actively find reasons:
Three days and two nights is indeed not a long time, and it will not have much impact on your attendance during this semester;
Besides going to school, he has nothing else to do. Occasionally, he "betrays" from his honest duties and treats it as relaxation.
What's more, we have Shangzi with us...
"Then go."
After agreeing, Naruse couldn't help but think about Nakahara Yuki's expression when she received three sick leave applications at the same time tomorrow.
"Okay."
Takigawa Mitsuki smiled widely, stretched out his arms, and hugged him and Shangzi at the same time, "Then let's go back early to prepare after school today."
Naruse turned to look at her, "Do Guang's parents and Sister Yue know about this?"
"I'll tell them."
"Will you agree?"
"Of course." She said confidently.
The three of them were chatting and walking past the classroom of Class E.
Looking at the three people holding each other's arms, Morimi didn't look away until their figures disappeared.
"We are chatting so happily...what are we talking about."
Morimi glanced at the starfish again.
She also looked in the same direction.
......
Finally, when school was over, Takigawa Hikaru picked up his schoolbag and wanted to go back, but luckily he was stopped by the person next to him.
"Light? There's still a night shift meeting."
"Ah, I forgot."
"Are you going somewhere to play later? I seem to have been excited all day after seeing the light."
Naruse turned around at this time.
Takigawa Hikaru nodded to him, signaling that he was relieved, and then smiled mysteriously at the girl sitting next to him: "Secret."
"Hey~ tell me."
After all, they are skipping school, and they are going to a place as far away as Kyoto. The fewer people who know about it, the better.
Zhongyuan Xue came over quickly, explaining some innocuous things as usual.
When she was about to finish, she suddenly looked towards the back row of the classroom: "Takigawa."
Takigawa Hikaru was a little surprised, but also a little nervous, "Xiaoyuki?"
"Call me teacher. You will..."
She held her breath subconsciously.
"...Remember to bring that form that you forgot at home, it's just you."
She breathed a sigh of relief, then hesitated.
"I will..."
Naruse kept coughing.
Zhongyuan Xue looked at her: "What about you tomorrow?"
"I will definitely bring it." Hikaru Takigawa said.
"That's fine."
The night shift meeting ended, and both Naruse and Shoko breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I have decided to skip school, being discovered by the teacher before skipping school and while skipping school are completely different situations.

"There should be nothing wrong with the restoration department, right?"
"Senior Ogawa and the others are here. If anything happens, they will send me a message."
"Then just go back today and pack your things."
"Yeah."
After leaving the classroom, Takigawa Mitsuki went to find her sister - she would leave for Kyoto tomorrow, and Takigawa Mitsuki had no intention of going to school today.
"I'll come see Chunhai again in the evening to discuss the itinerary and so on." She said before leaving.
"Yeah." Naruse responded and watched her go downstairs.
"——Where are you going?" Morimi's voice suddenly sounded next to him.
"...Why are you so invisible?" Naruse turned to look at her, "I was shocked."
"How come Shangzi wasn't scared?"
Morimi pushed up his glasses and said, "You did something wrong, you are too sensitive."
"..."
Naruse was startled and looked at her without saying anything.
She also looked at him, suddenly thinking of what happened more than a week ago, her face became hot.
"I'm talking about what you're doing now!"
The two people's reactions were a bit strange. Shangzi stood aside, his eyes wandering on their faces.
"I'm ready to go home now." Naruse pulled Naoko, "Let's go."
Seeing that Mori didn't have to go to the school or the library today, he naturally followed the two of them.
When there was no one around, Naruse told her the plans of the three of them.
"...unbelievable."
Morimi's eyes widened, looking completely unacceptable. Regarding Naruse's casual suggestion of "do you want to skip school together?", he refused without even thinking about it.
"Shangzi also wants to skip school? Don't be led astray by this kind of person."
"'This kind of person'? The person standing in front of you is the top grader in the first grade of Jin High School in the prefecture."
"..."
Morijian gritted his teeth and sneered.
"It's okay." Shangzi smiled.
Naoko was already hopelessly obsessed with him and knew that he could not persuade her, so Morimi didn't waste any words.
As for the other person...
"Don't drag Haixing too. She has finally gained some interest in studying recently."
Are you interested in learning?
Naruse had some doubts about this, but didn't say much.
"Anyway, I didn't invite you, so you should hope that she doesn't meet the light."
