The evening sun hung half-hung among the tall buildings outside the playground, and a few clouds fluttered in the dark sky, setting off the glare of the sunset with all their might. The sunset, which slowly sinks like a sightseeing elevator in a high-rise building, does its best to burn the surrounding sunset and the huge glass covered in the office building into blood red. As the bell rang for the end of class, Hoshimi Mibu bit the mint candy in his mouth, closed the open page and threw it into the drawer.

"That's all for today's lesson, end of class!"

The students stood up and bowed as instructed by the students on duty and watched the teacher walk out of the classroom.

The teacher left through the front door, and Hoshimi grabbed the bag hanging on the side of the table, kicked the chair under the table, and prepared to leave from behind.

"Wait a minute!" The class leader, Bai Shang Xueye, knocked on the podium and motioned for the students to sit back and wait for her to speak.

Hoshimi glanced at his phone and shuffled back to the classroom through the back door, leaning against the cabinet in the back row of the classroom. She carried her schoolbag in her left hand, and with her right hand irritably, she flicked off the black leather band tied to the back of her head, scattered her hair and scratched it, moved her neck, and looked motionlessly at the squad leader who pointed at her on the podium and asked her to return to her seat.

Bai Shang Xueye glanced at her silently, didn't pay attention to her anymore, and said to the other students: "The second semester is coming to an end, in order to better cope with the academic ability test in December, I decided to launch an after-school tutoring plan after discussing with the teacher. Let the bottom 10 students in the class spare half an hour this weekend morning for extra tutoring activities. ”

As soon as Hoshimi heard that it had nothing to do with him, he was about to slip away, but as soon as he walked to the door and pushed open the classroom door, he heard Shirakami Yukiha shouting loudly, "Hoshimi-san! ”

"Huh?" Hoshimi looked back at her, his hand still holding the doorknob, and half of his body had slipped out.

"Don't Hoshimi-san have any ideas?"

"What do I have in mind? Tutoring? ”

"Yes."

Hoshimi threw his schoolbag behind his back, pinched the door frame and looked at Shirakami Yukiha and asked, "Does weekend tutoring have anything to do with me?" ”

"Hoshimi-san is in the top of his age, and he didn't participate in club activities." Shirakami Yukiye pressed hard against the iron box on the podium, and the eyes of the whole class were focused on the two of them.

"What's wrong? Aren't you also in the top three? Hoshimi asked rhetorically.

"Does Xingjian have time to help students with tutoring this weekend? By the way, I'll join in as well. ”

"I'm sorry, I don't have time." Hoshimi squinted her eyes and glanced around the classroom, a classroom where she couldn't even recognize the names of her classmates, and decisively rejected Shirakami Yuki's proposal.

"I guess I didn't participate in the hiking activities in the past few years. In fact, if you encounter something, you can ask us for help, the teacher also said that socialization is very important, you can't always blindly refuse group activities, and you don't have the same body as before——"

"Bai Shang, you really haven't made any progress." Hoshimi remembered the painful experience of being constantly sued and made small reports by Shirakami Yuki, and looked at the face of that good old man and sighed, "I have my own things to do after school, and I'm in a hurry now, I'm sorry, I'll go first." ”

After speaking, Hoshimi slammed the door of the classroom and closed back the earnest teachings that Shirakami Yukiha was about to blurt out.

"Oops, hope not to be late." After changing his shoes, Hoshimi saw the wall clock on the wall in a daze, and his heart was not good, so he shook the door of the locker and grabbed his bag and trotted all the way to the garage, jumped on his bicycle with a shake, and sped away towards the school gate.

On Christmas Eve, the streets are filled with a series of small lights in front of various shops, and the shopping street is completely immersed in the fairytale atmosphere created, and a red Santa hat is worn on the sculpture sign at the entrance of the street.

With Christmas approaching and the New Year approaching, Mikoto Hoshimi's workload has skyrocketed, and in recent weeks she has been almost either on the plane or on her way to catch a flight. Hoshimi felt like he had almost forgotten the last time he saw his mother at home.

"Nanamin, sorry for the delay." The bicycle landed steadily in front of Nanami Hashimoto, and only two round eyes were showing under the khaki plaid scarf looking at her apologetically.

"It's okay, I just came out of the subway station." Hashimoto watched Hoshimi arrange his hair in a panic, and the messy hair and neat school uniform were put together very inconsistently.

"Nana Min go in first, wait for me in the hall for a few minutes, I'll park the car in the shed and go over immediately." Hoshimi rode around the main entrance of the hospital to the carport on the right side of the garden, and then turned straight into the hall through the side door.

"I made an appointment with Dr. Xie Ye in advance, and I can go directly to the department. I thought that although there was plenty of time on the weekend, there might be more patients, so I rushed to catch up on Friday afternoon, and Dr. Xie Ye happened to be on duty today. Instead of holding his school bag, Hoshimi ran to Hashimoto with two cans of hot coffee, his forehead covered with a dense layer of small beads of sweat.

"What's wrong? What's the matter? Handing the coffee to Hashimoto, Hoshimi couldn't help but ask as he looked at the other party frowning at his own face.

"It's okay, it's just a little unexpected that Miho will ask me to accompany you to the doctor.,This is the first time Miho has asked a member for help.。 And if you're looking for it, it stands to reason that it should be Mai or maimai or something, and I feel a little flattered. But hasn't Miho's mom come back yet? The heat of the coffee slowly rose, floating on the fingertips, and there was a burst of warmth.

"Mom is still abroad and hasn't come back yet. But Nanami is right, I won't ask you to accompany me to the doctor, because I can't guarantee that Nanami won't stay on the sidelines and laugh. Hoshimi opened the pull ring with one hand, took a sip with the corners of his mouth curled, and exhaled comfortably.

"Then why are you looking for me? I went back. ”

"So," Hoshimi shook the coffee can in his hand as Hashimoto pretended to be angry, and smiled, "So it's not Nanami who accompanies me, but I accompany Nanamin." After saying that, Hoshimi didn't wait for Hashimoto to react, so he pulled her into the elevator. Hashimoto looked at the coffee in his hand in a panic, worried that the coffee would spill, and did not rush to ask Hoshimi what he had just said.

Seeing that the number of floors on the elevator was rising and the coffee was firmly held in his hand, Hashimoto turned to look at Hoshimi and asked a little strangely, "Accompany me to the doctor?" I'm healthy, so why does Miho suddenly want to bring me to the hospital? ”

Hoshimi took a sip of some hot coffee, didn't rush to answer Hashimoto's question, and only after hearing the ding, did he say indifferently under Hashimoto's gaze: "It's here, the third room on the left hand, let's go." ”
