Chapter 42: A Girl as Tough as Grass
"Huh? Isn't this Miss Xinyue, a literary girl in our class? "I heard that the people's desire is to be the cradle of literary stars." "I don't know what works Miss Xinyue has?" "The story of the prince and Cinderella?" "It's too old-fashioned!"
If you want to increase the intimacy between the members of a small group, it is a good opportunity to do something together, and everyone will gain growth and happiness from it, but such things are generally more time-consuming and energy-consuming, and it is easy to bully someone together, and it will increase more intimacy because of that trivial guilt.
Saki Kokotsuki is that 'someone', taciturn, shy and introverted, with a good figure, frugal life, no friends and no parents... There are too many reasons for her to be a target, the most important of which is that she won't resist.
According to the normal development, these so-called classmates will become more and more bold, and it is obvious that the fate of Saki Shinzuki has become bad. Thankfully, she also has a mother-in-law who depends on each other, and because her home is very close to the school, she insists on picking her up and dropping her off school every day.
"If there is a mission in life, my mission is to meet you and become my princess, Princess Saki Shinzuki."
This kind of fantasy Saki has also had, and even thought of a lot of love words that make people blush and heartbeat, as the books she has read gradually increase, the figure that came on a white horse surrounded by everyone has become more and more blurred in her mind.
There is no such prince in reality, and the prince will not lend a hand to the weak who are bullied, because it is impossible for the prince to see this scene at all, he will only see the beautiful kingdom and the simple people, so the prince in the fantasy of Saki Shinzuki has become an elegant young man, and he will write a lot of interesting articles and stories...
However, whether it is a prince surrounded by everyone or an elegant literary youth, neither of these has appeared in the life of Saki Shinzuki, but she has unconsciously set a future goal when she is immersed in the world of books, to become a writer, a writer who brings happiness to everyone with words.
In the pen of Saki Kokotsuki, the four seasons are always the most beautiful times, and all kinds of food are like fruits that grow incredibly on the trees, and they are quite huge, and people will always live and work in peace and contentment, and there is naturally a small love affair in such a beautiful world.
It's a pity that such a work has not been recognized by the editor, and the manuscript that has the courage to submit is lost, but Saki Kokotsuki will not be discouraged.
Writing is not something that can be done in the first place, it requires perseverance, and she already has the most loyal reader, her mother-in-law.
Although there is the cynicism of her classmates, Saki Kokotsuki doesn't think that such a day is difficult, just when she thought that such days would last until she became a great writer and moved into a high-rise building with her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law fell ill.
To be honest, it is a normal thing for an elderly person who is close to sixty years old to get sick, not to mention that her mother-in-law has raised Xinyue Saki alone for more than ten years, and she should rest after long-term fatigue, however, this rest is eternal sleep.
The muddy heart of the moon Saki has been sad for a long time, but the days still have to go on, and live as tenaciously as grass, this is the teaching of her mother-in-law.
That's it.,After two semesters of hard work, Saki Xinyue, whose grades are only at the lower middle level, has become the best student in the class.,Her temperament is still like that.,The classmates who like to bully her are gone.,It's become a secret discussion.。
After graduating from high school, she was admitted to Nagi University as she wished, and unlike what she imagined, no one here would bully her, and no one wanted to make friends with her.
She couldn't find anyone to discuss the reason, and she didn't have the courage to take the initiative to talk to someone, and after a semester, she didn't even recognize all the classmates in the class.
In this case, Saki can only immerse herself in the world of books again, in this world, there are not so many troubles, everyone is naturally good friends, and Saki Shinzuki, who is a book lover herself, has to go to the library every day or two, and returns with valuable spiritual wealth.
10/31/86 Kim Yao Day.
As usual, as soon as school ended, Saki Kokotsuki returned home and took the "Tale of Genji" that she was about to finish reading to the library closest to the apartment.
This book was recommended by the teacher of the literature department.,It's highly praised.,There's also an assignment.,But,Kozuki Saki can't read this book a little.,She can't understand the love-hate entanglement between the light source and so many excellent women.。
In her opinion, love should be loyal to it, although the teacher emphasized that reading a book must be substituted into the era at that time, but this conflicts with the teachings of her mother-in-law, Saki still believes in her mother-in-law more, however, some scenes in it are still quite romantic, such as six concubines, on a moonlit night and the light source style trick...
"Bang!" "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry..."
I was thinking about the "Tale of Genji" that I had just finished reading, and Saki Tsuki, who was a little distracted with a few books, was knocked down by a boy at the corner of the bookshelf, and the books were scattered all over the ground.
"Xinyue... Saki-san? ”
I didn't hear the imaginary scolding, and the other party seemed to recognize Saki Shinzuki's appearance.
"Otaki-san?"
Raising her head cautiously, Saki Shinzuki recognized the other party's appearance, it was a more familiar person, called Otaki Natsutoshi, not only a classmate, but also a neighbor in the same apartment, and he was also a person who didn't talk much in the class.
"Well, it doesn't matter to you, right? Are you busy going back to your apartment? ”
Xia Junhao stretched out his hand, pulled up the confused Xinyue Saki, and then picked up the books all over the ground.
"It doesn't matter, thank you very much, yes."
Like a mechanical question and answer, Saki Xinyue was thinking about how to deal with Xia Junhao.
Generally speaking, if you accept the help of the other person, you have to express your gratitude, and Saki Shinzuki, who has never had this experience, takes this matter very seriously, but she doesn't know how to thank the other party.
Buy some cookies? Isn't that perfunctory? It's better to make small cookies by hand, which not only seems sincere, but also cheaper than in the store...
Of course, Saki Shinzuki also has great confidence in her craft, and she often gets an A in her home economics class.
"It just so happens that I'm going to go back too, so if you don't dislike it, let's go back together." "Hmm."
didn't listen carefully to what Xia Junhao was saying at all, Xinyue Saki directly agreed, and when she reacted, she was completely in a state of confusion.
How, what to do! Someone like me, he shouldn't be misunderstood, right? Should I apologize for a misunderstanding? Explain the reason first or apologize first?
Walking on the road with a book in her arms, Xinyue Saki was desperately thinking about how to deal with Xia Junhao.
