Xia Jing also cast a sympathetic gaze to Li Mu.

"Can you give me a little bit of your simple head? Also, you can get a little excess energy from playing electric without rest from morning to night. ”

"That's right, if you give it to us, maybe it can be used in more meaningful things. Ah, I mean the head isn't physically strong. ”

Wang Chuan also echoed Xia Jing's statement.

"Besides, even if you turn the biological clock back to wake up in the morning, it's not pointless to doze off in class."

"What...... Wang Chuan, how do you know ......?"

"Ah, I guessed it. As I expected. ”

Li Mu was easily tricked out.

"I knew it was going to be like this."

Li Muyuan was in Class A of the second year, which was far away from the second class, and the teacher's voice there reprimanding him was of course impossible to hear even Class C clearly, but it was easy to imagine the scene at that time.

"Do you want to sleep if you sleep too long?"

Xia Jing said to Li Mu: "Assuming you start sleeping in the evening, that is a full twelve hours of sleep. If you sleep for so long, it's no wonder you can't keep up your energy during the day. ”

"Tsk...... You two are really not interesting. ”

Li Mu smacked his mouth as if annoyed: "I thought I had come up with a super idea." ”

“…… So you're serious, huh? ”

Wang Chuan's expression changed from dumbfounded to sympathetic, and then sighed.

"Look at you so seriously, it's awe-inspiring."

Xia Jing also expressed a brief impression.

"Xia Jing?"

At this moment, someone behind him called Xia Jing.

"Huh?"

Xia Jing turned his head to look.

Standing behind is a slightly taller girl - Zhao Nan.

"What's wrong, Zhao Nan?"

Zhao Nan has chestnut-colored hair, beautiful facial features, and she has been in the same class as Xia Jing since this spring, and she looks dignified, just like the so-called deep boudoir eldest lady. It is no wonder that Li Muhui sat upright like a thunderbolt from the sky. It's just that her innocent face is now faintly covered with a layer of haze, and she is looking at Xia Jing with an uneasy face.

Xia Jing was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What's the matter with me?" ”

"Xia Jing, that ......"

Zhao Nan clasped his hands in front of his chest, plucked up the courage to speak, "I want to ask you about Anno-san......

Her brow furrowed, as if she was helpless and distraught.

"It's been more than half a month since she took a leave of absence from school."

- Anno.

Zhao Nan is a good friend of the same club as him, so it's no wonder that she is worried that An Ye has never come to school.

Zhao Nan stared at Xia Jing's eyes, his expression full of doubts.

"Do you know why?"

Therefore, Xia Jing showed a wry smile.

"Why did you ask me this question?"

"Xia Jing-san, aren't you and Anno-san in a good relationship?"

"No matter how good she is, she's not as good as you. How can I know what you don't know?"

Xia Jing shrugged his shoulders and said, "Did Lin Tian say anything?"

Hayashida is the instructor in Anno's class.

"Hmm. The teacher said that Anno had temporarily asked for leave from school due to family factors."

"Since you have asked for leave from school, you don't have anything to worry about, right?"

"But...... She doesn't even answer her phone. Could it be that the parents are sick? If so......

"I don't know."

Xia Jing shook his head and interrupted Zhao Nan's words.

"Since she didn't contact you, there must be her reason, right? For example, I don't want you to worry, or I want to go on a trip with my parents."

"Is that really the case?"

"Don't get too. When the affairs of her family are dealt with, she will naturally come out again."

"The problem is that she can't keep up with the school anymore......

"I can't keep up, won't you just teach her then?"

Zhao Nan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said "yes" to show acceptance, then turned around and left. However, it can be seen that the uneasiness in her heart has not been erased, and her expression is still sad.

「…… Hey, black-hearted glasses."

When Xia Jingmu sent Zi Sen's back away and sighed, Li Mu suddenly interrupted from the side.

"Which tendon is wrong with you today?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Your attitude towards that beautiful Zhao Nan is too cold, right?

"Is there one? Xia Jing, he's usually like this." Wang Chuan said as if he was not surprised, but Li Mu still couldn't let go.

"However, this guy's mouth, attitude, and temper are indeed known for their bad reputation."

"You have to worry so much, idiot."

"The question is......

Li Mu ignored Xia Jing's choking voice, but looked directly into his eyes as if he was interrogating.

"Haven't you been weird lately?"

「…… Huh?"

"Ahh I said you seem weird lately."

Xia Jing frowned.

"Where have I changed? You're right, I'm born with a cheap mouth and an underwhelming attitude, so what's so strange about that......

Xia Jing's voice was slightly excited, and there was a hint of protest in his tone.

However, Li Mu did not take Xia Jing's excitement to heart.

"I don't mean that kind of place. It has nothing to do with your underwhelming attitude. How to say that? Well, I'm not very good at it."

Li Mu scratched his head nervously, and muttered in a low voice with "um~", and then said, "It's not just the attitude towards that beautiful sister just now. There is also a lunch break, and after school...... All in all, it's weird. On the surface, it does look the same as before, but I still feel that you have changed."

Xia Jing lowered his gaze slightly.

"Are you bothered? Speaking of which, you took three days off from school before, does it have anything to do with this?"

"Hey—idiot Li Mu."

But—by the time he lifted his face again, a smile had formed into his lips.

"Why are you so kind, tomorrow the sun will not hit the west and come out. It's disgusting that you care about me so much. 「

"You can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth, what does it mean to be disgusting? Stinky boy! 「

Xia Jing expressed his gratitude in a way that seemed to be arguing and laughing and scolding.

"I'm fine. There's nothing particularly wrong with that. It's you who are too sensitive."

And pretend to be calm on the surface.

Li Mu muttered, "Really?" After that, there was silence.

Wang Chuan looked at the air erratically and did not say a word.

So Xia Jing just smiled lightly, and then shrugged his shoulders to the two of them a little deliberately.

After that

Li Mu and Wang Chuan never talked about Xia Jing's attitude again, the calm afternoon passed, and it was time for school in a blink of an eye.

There were no other students of the same age in Xia Jing's vicinity, so he had no habit of going home with anyone since the first grade. Only occasionally when the mood comes, will I stay with other classmates to fart and gossip. But this time, he no longer stays to laugh with his classmates.

After saying hello to his friends, Xia Jing left the school building quickly.

A small group of girls who seem to have a good relationship, male students who are going to participate in club activities, and boyfriends and girlfriends who walk side by side; Familiar faces, unfamiliar faces, and all kinds of groups along the way, Xia Jing's way home is lonely. After all, since he entered high school, he went home alone every day, so Xia Jing didn't have any feelings about the incident itself, and he didn't feel lonely. However, no...... It should be said that because of this, going home alone after school brought Xia Jing a kind of helpless emptiness.

Xia Jing knew very well what that reason was, but he didn't want to think about it. Living his daily life like a machine that stops thinking - this is Xia Jing's current wish and way of living.

After that incident, about half a month passed.

Ye Chun's rebellion in the Deer Clan for the summer.

Anno's parents who died innocently in the incident. became Ana's sister Xiaya.

and Autumn Yin.

After killing Qiu Yin, Xia Jing, who fell into a state of despair, was sent home, and since then he has fled from everything. What I told my classmates during the lunch break was the truth, and Xia Jing really didn't know Anno's current situation. It's not just An Ye, Lin Yu, Lan Yang, Yao, Ah Ye, and that guy. What's wrong with these people now, Xia Jing has no news.

It stands to reason that they should have accepted the arrangement of the "holy" and settled in a safe place. However, it is not ruled out that they have all been killed by Ye Chun. No, not really. Otherwise, Ye Chun, who has grown up, should come to the door.

So – I don't need to do anything more.

If Ye Chun's side wins, she will naturally come to the door. If the other side wins, it's to keep the status quo. There is no room for Xia Jing's thoughts and actions to intervene between the two sides.

Xia Jing thought so.

To be precise, he could only force himself to think so.

Li Mu broke the truth in one sentence today. Xia Jing admired him very much, and he could see the changes in himself.

What a troublesome guy. Usually he looks like a stupid idiot, but sometimes he is intuitive but keenly scary, and this kind of person is the most headache. In all fairness, Wang Chuan's guy just pretended not to find out...... It seems that he has made a hidden friend, but he actually uses his keen intuition at such a time......

"It's kind of weird...... Is it?"

It's no wonder that it will be said so, because the current Xia Jing is like a soulless stinky skin.

Embrace the emptiness of your heart, let your daily life numb yourself, and empty your head every day to live your life. The heart is already empty and lifeless. He doesn't allow himself to be a flesh and blood man, and if he doesn't teach himself to be a walking corpse, his spirit won't be able to hold on. As long as you use your spirit to play the same self as always, play the black-hearted glasses boy in your imagination, and cut off the connection with other things, at least you can barely survive.

Hide the feelings, and then stifle.

The current self is simply a copy of the previous person - this thought only came to mind, and Xia Jingxuan expelled it from his mind.

The reason why this thought suddenly occurred was because the road next to the park that I was passing through was the place where I first met her? Or maybe it's because

- Out of the corner of my eye, why did you catch a glimpse of her standing there as if she was waiting for someone to show up?

「…… Ahh

She wears a college uniform.

Looks like a petite figure and childish appearance that is only junior high school age. At first glance, it looks like a godless expression with an empty head. However, the moment she recognized Xia Jing, she frowned, revealing an expression that seemed to be distressed and didn't know what to do.

Lan Yang spoke, "Xia Jing."

Goodbye after half a month.

It took Xia Jing thirty seconds to squeeze out a reply.

「…… What are you doing in a place like this?"

Lan Yang did not answer.

Just slowly leave the barbed wire fence against his back and walk towards the summer scene.

"Summer view."

She called out Xia Jing's name again. It was as if she didn't recognize any other words.

It was as if she didn't know what else she could do other than shout her name.

「…… You ......."

So Xia Jing dredged the clogged atrium and reluctantly squeezed out the topic.

"Is it okay to run out and stay in a place like this?"

"Nope."

Lan Yang shook his head.

"I asked the sand to let me out."

Xia Jing found that she seemed to have been separated from her face and her eyes that looked up in both directions for a long time.

A thousand questions unintentionally turned into all kinds of questions that came to my mind.

Anno: How is she doing now? Xia Jing forgot what the last conversation with her was. Did she get out of the blow of her parents' deaths and pick herself up again?

And Lin Yu, that arrogant little child. I remember the night I separated from her half a month ago, she was crying for some reason. Until now, I still don't understand the reason why she cried.

And the guy. That guy she's

Has the situation changed now? What about the struggle with Ye Chun and other prosperous factions?

In the end, Xia Jing still failed to ask the questions that had arisen in his heart.

You can't ask, you can't get involved, I'm already an outsider.

Seeing that Xia Jing pursed his lips and looked away, he was silent, and Lan Yang also lowered his head and said nothing.

The wordless silence lasted for a while.

Xia Jing couldn't think of what to say for a long time, so he just froze in place.

「…… That, Natsu Jing."

On the other hand, Lan Yang spoke timidly after a long pause.

"I'm sorry."

"Huh......?"

Apologize.

It feels so good to listen to Xia Jing's ears, and I am stunned. However, Lan Yang seems to have been prepared.

"I didn't even find out. I've always ...... I didn't know she was Sister Ya."

Perhaps the silence was to make up your mind. Once he had the courage to speak, Lan Yang's voice did not hesitate at all, and it was clear and sincere.

"If I had found out earlier, I wouldn't have made Xia Jing sad and sad. So ......."

Xiaya.

Xia Jing's sister. Lan Yang's former friend. That is, now Anais.

At this time, Xia Jing finally understood the reason why Lan Yang came to meet him today.

She must have been condemned by guilt since what happened that night.

If the fact that Anai is Xia Ya could be revealed earlier, and Lan Yang could have discovered it earlier, he might not have delayed until the last moment to know that Ye Chun was the mastermind behind the scenes.

That's why she's so upset.

This is especially true for the outcome of that night, and for the summer scene.

"Sister Xiaya is obviously close at hand. And I can't ...... for Xia Jing."

However.

That's right, but

"No, no...... Senior Sister Lanyang."

Xia Jing will not be redeemed and healed because of her chagrin and apology.

"I...... No. It's not what you think."

The words that finally came out of his mouth seemed to be answering the wrong question, but Xia Jing couldn't think of a more appropriate word.

The responsibility for her sister's affairs is not on her, and Xia Jing doesn't want to blame anyone at all.

Because, the one who should find out that Anai is her sister is not someone else, it is herself,

On the contrary, Lan Yang, who had only heard the sound through the wall, had no reason to blame himself for this. After all, her voice and way of speaking are the same as when she was alive, and there is no reason to recognize her.
