Chapter 20: She and Him and Their Intertwined Youth 5

[That... Hachiman, I'll go first.]

Tozuka stood at the door of the teacher's office and said with some hesitation, squirming because he was worried.... Don't worry, I'm in charge, don't worry about facing the teacher, I'll protect you with the hidden Hate Attraction skill. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

[Oh, rest assured, no problem!] I gave him a thumbs up, you said to be worried... It should be me, the teacher is definitely not going to teach you fists, go ahead, I'll be a punching bag to release her anger later.

After watching Totsuka enter, I breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall a little weakly, while Hayama waved at Tozuka's back... Then he leaned next to me.

[Than Qi Tani-kun is also a person?]

[Don't you think it's outdated to ask this question now?] Am I not normal to be alone? I've always been alone, okay? I'm not alone when the school holds a three-way meeting? I'm pretty sure you don't mean anything, but I hope you don't ask such boring questions...

[That... Can you tell me why?]

Hayama looked at me and smiled a little comfortably. The sun's rays are almost covered by you!

[..... It's nothing.,It's just that there's no status at home.,It's natural to meet a business trip.,But even if you're not on a business trip, you'll use other reasons to refuse to fall off.,Don't worry...]

Remember the last three-way meeting at school and last year's parent-teacher meeting... One time was on Sunday.,I didn't work overtime.,But it's because Komachi wants to eat Western food.,So there's no way.,Find a way to deal with it yourself.,The other time was on Labor Day.... Because the vultures flew in front of me, I didn't go... This kind of reason can be used against me... Can I expect anything from them?

[Hm...] Hayama smiled as if comforting me, and looked up at the ceiling again. Both parents have worked as a priority. I guess work is all they have, so I didn't tell them either.... When I was in elementary school and junior high school, I told me all about the school's request for parents to be in place, but I never came to it once... Probably, I think I'll handle it myself, hehe.]

[.... I didn't ask you that... But it's still a very sympathetic experience..]

.... To put it this way.. I've been lucky in some ways... At least until four years of elementary school, I was still living as a normal person at school and at home...

Hayama laughed dryly twice, and looked at me helplessly [It can only be like this...] I fell silent, because the volunteer negotiation was almost over, and there were a few more people in our class than in other classes.... Probably we're the last few people in the whole school... The corridor seems unusually spacious, and before I know it, only Hayama and I are still staying here waiting for the call, and for a while it seems that the whole campus has been quiet for a long time, there are no noisy classrooms, no mixed corridors.

I looked at the time, it was already eleven o'clock, under the snow... I should have gone with her mother first.... I took the phone, hesitated for a few seconds and put it back in my pocket and shook my head.... When will I look forward to such a small thing? Forget it, it's good to be alone now.

After a while, the office book opened, and Totsuka slowly retreated, and after bowing at the door, he glanced to my side with a triumphant expression.... It seems to be very good, in terms of the outcome and process of the negotiations.

He came to my side with a confident smile and soothed my newly traumatized heart... Ah, my angel.... I love you...

[Hachiman, don't worry, Mr. Tozuka is very gentle, and after explaining the reason, it's no problem at all, come on~] pulled a small fist at me and encouraged me to come on... Thank you, thank you for your encouragement, Tozuka, but what you don't know is... That violent teacher is just gentle with people other than me, so your experience is basically useless, but I still want to thank you.

[Ahh See you tomorrow!Hachiman, and Hayama-kun too!Goodbye] Say goodbye to us as you run.... Ha.... Tozuka: He still has club activities... If only you could talk with me... Unlike my department, the club activities of the tennis club will continue until a week before the college entrance examination, and you can choose a sports school, so it is still very important...

[That.] After seeing Tozuka leave, Hayama gently patted me on the shoulder [You first?]

I withdrew my gaze, closed my eyes and thought for a few seconds, but still shook my head [No need, you go first...... ...... At least, let me wait for the last few minutes, I have a good experience of the feeling that many people are still unwilling to give up when the result has been confirmed... Whew, what a fool.. Myself.

...... After patting his shoulder a few more times, Hayama reluctantly walked into the office and didn't let me explain anything... Leaning back against the wall, tilting his head up, staring at the ceiling where nothing [they.... What are you doing now?] I don't know what I think of with my mother under the snow.... You must be happy, right? The kind of conversation you can talk to, share your happiness, talk about something that's going on at school... Auntie, I love the snow very much... It's just that the previous way of expression was wrong, and when the mistakes of the two were corrected to a certain extent, this degree of improvement in the relationship was natural... Like an iceberg, only the outer shell is ice and the inside is water, but even if only a crack is exposed, then the water inside will flow out continuously, although it is small, but it will grow bigger and bigger, until the whole iceberg completely melts and merges with the ocean under your feet....

[Your smile is disgusting, Hachiman-kun.]

Unpredictably, I was slowly feeling this kind of lonely and warm moment that did not belong to me, when a gentle poisonous greeting drifted into my ears, followed by the familiar fragrance, which subtly brought me back to reality, I don't know when, under the snow has stood next to me, with my hands behind my back, long hair with the wind, and I raised my head to look at the ceiling where there was nothing, and a faint smile naturally appeared on her face, in this quiet corridor made me feel that I was superfluous existence, destroying the beauty of civilization。

[Here you are....]

[Well, here it is, too, Mother.]

I stood up abruptly and looked nervously left and right... My aunt was already standing at the door of the office with Hayama, who came out of nowhere, saying these things.... Call... OK...

[how about talking... Is it over?.]

[No... There is one left...]

[Thanks....]

[It's me who should be thanked.] Are your discussions over?]

[Eh, I'm the last one.]

[What a coincidence...]

Under the snow, he jumped two steps forward dexterously, turned back to look at me in front of me, tilted his head, leaned over gently, still with his hands behind his back, the sunlight shining from the window was imprinted on his face, smiling without any sense of disobedience, like a brilliant girlish posture like cherry blossoms blooming, I looked at her indescribably beautiful, and could not find any words to describe it.

[Hachiman-kun, you must work hard]

[Hmm I....]

...... Ha... I was a little embarrassed to look away, and my face was a little hot.... I was stunned and didn't hear what she said... What a shame....

[... Not... Whew...] See my dementia... Covering his mouth under the snow, he chuckled [So you can be so cute... I don't know... Hmm...] It's so hard...

[yes, I'm sorry...]

[Whew....] Breathing a sigh of relief, he looked at me gently, smiled and shook his head [No, don't mind, that's fine... Okay, let's go. ]

[Where to go?]

[Volunteer Consultation.] He came over under the snow and took my hand, and the delicate and warm sales at the moment of touch reminded me of the gaffe just now... It's a shame [Mother, I'm waiting for you]

I followed her line of sight, and my mother was standing quietly at the door of the office under the snow, and Hayama also happened to be walking towards us, stopping when she passed by us, smiling and nodding at us in greeting, and under the snow she returned the salute

[That... Biqi Gu-kun, I'll go back first, see you tomorrow.]

[Oh... See you tomorrow...]

Why do you say goodbye to me, I care so much... However, Hayama didn't make any extra stops and left directly..

Came to the aunt's face and respectfully stepped forward.... I still feel nervous.... I tried to let go and keep pulling this hand under the snow... After all, in front of this adult, it's still a little... It would be nice to pay a little attention to the image... But the hand was held tightly, and there was no intention of letting go...

My aunt just glanced at us lightly, and her gaze swept away without any pause, as if she didn't care about it at all, but said to me lightly

[Let's go inside.]

[Okay, okay....] That's sort of... How do you feel for the rest of your life after the holiday. Under the snow and my aunt's eyes were focused on me

[Whew....]

After a brief moment of mental preparation, I slowly reached out and finally pushed the door open under their gaze.
