It's rare to wake up this morning as early as the day of school.

I fell asleep last night while chatting with Yirui, but I couldn't answer her questions or say goodnight to her. This is probably the earliest I've slept in a week in a row. However, I dreamed of the girl again at night, but I still couldn't figure out who she was.

"Mom, good morning!"

I turned off the air conditioner and walked out of the room, stopping by to ask my mom who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

"Hmm, I don't go to school today, why do you get up at half past six?"

Dad is still sleeping in the room, he usually works very hard, goes out early and returns late, and the only thing that can give him a good rest is the weekend. It seems that they didn't turn on the air conditioner last night, and I don't know how my parents could endure it on such a hot day. I helped him close the slightly open door and went to the bathroom.

It's been a rare sunny morning for such a long time, and my grandmother on the balcony is hanging her laundry while she can't tell when she will leave, and she seems to be in a good mood.

My grandmother came from her hometown the day before yesterday and said that she wanted to stay with us for a while. When I was a child, my grandmother lived with us until I was in junior high school, and she didn't return to her hometown until I was in junior high school. Sure enough, it hasn't changed for so many years, no, it's just sunny, so I got up early in the morning to help us dry our clothes.

"Yujie, the domestic chicken that grandma brought from her hometown was cooked for you at noon today."

"Okay!" I walked out onto the balcony with my toothbrush in my hand. Although I don't really like chicken, my grandmother's hometown has a unique cooking method that I really like.

After asking my mom and grandmother about the morning, I sat on the couch and ate a very hearty morning while watching TV.

After a series of necessary activities in the morning, I found that it was only seven o'clock. It's still so early today, should I hurry up and finish the rest of my homework and help Yirui complete her proposal?

I found that since I talked to Yirui, my studies have also become more diligent, after all, I was planning to work at night last Saturday to catch up with my homework. Since the beginning of the week, I seem to have been able to finish my homework before 9 o'clock every day - after all, I can chat with Yirui after 9 o'clock every day, and Yirui will finish her homework at 9 o'clock every day, so I naturally completed my homework while waiting for her to finish it.

I don't know what Yirui will do in the morning, but it stands to reason that she should get up early, after all, the joint entrance examination is still a relatively important exam for her, and it is estimated that she may be reading early now.

Then let's settle down and get to work!

There wasn't much homework left yesterday and it took me less than two hours to complete all of it. I couldn't help but turn on my computer and watch anime for a while, relaxing my body while working on the proposal - to be honest, in the eyes of those classmates, it was a big no-no to do these things a week before the exam.

Although I don't usually communicate with others, and I don't have much experience in debating or giving speeches, I think I can write a proposal in a very organized way, and in less than an hour, a proposal of more than 1,000 words was completed. Because I happened to have the computer on, I simply finished writing the manuscript on the computer and sent it to Yirui.

Work hard, time flies so slowly! After I had written thousands of words by hand and typed, there were still eight hours before the agreed time between me and Yirui.

"You're writing so fast, you've worked so hard!" It didn't take long for me to hear from Yirui.

"It's a trivial matter, I feel that the writing is quite smooth, but the quality, you can take a look first."

"After a general look, the suggestions, reasons, and so on are quite well written. However, there is too little rhetoric. In fact, it is still necessary to use a figure of speech appropriately, as well as honorifics for teachers. ”

"Isn't it good enough?"

"No, I'll just fix these little problems a little bit. However, I have to say that your writing is really quite organized, and I feel like I'm basically passing the test when I read it like this. ”

"Is that a compliment to me?"

"Sort of! By the way, now that I'm free, you can help me read these two questions! ”

I took the picture she sent me – and sure enough, it was still analytic geometry, which she wasn't very good at. However, from the solved part she sent, it can be seen that she is really trying to use the "set t" method that I taught her instead of the traditional "set x and y" method that is common in various reference answers; At the same time, following my advice, she also began to learn to simplify the steps presented on the test paper when answering the questions, and moved the calculation process to scratch paper. As is customary, I wrote down the solution ideas and steps on a blank piece of paper in as much detail as possible, and passed them to her along with a few audio explanations.

"Yujie, it's time for lunch!"

Although I felt that time was passing so slowly, before I knew it, it was noon, and it was time for lunch. Grandma must have been very busy in these few hours, according to my mother, this table of ten dishes are all done by my grandmother after washing clothes and cleaning up.

"Grandma, this is too rich!" I couldn't help but sigh.

The father on the side stretched and added, "Now a few of us may be full!" ”

"Isn't this going to be a final exam! Our Yujie has to replenish his body recently. Grandma said with a smile as she admired her masterpiece.

However, a result like mine, saying that it is to make up for my body or something, is actually not suitable!

Noon can be regarded as a big meal, because of the constraints of family conditions, if it is not for relatives or guests to visit, usually the three of us are very frugal, three people one meat and two vegetables is the norm every day.

My grandmother didn't use her chopsticks much, but she kept urging me to eat more. And I was faced with so many dishes that I loved to eat, and I ate them with an open stomach. If you still eat a big meal like this at night, it is probably not to replenish the body, but to grow meat.

My grandmother advised me to go for a walk after dinner. I had been sleeping well for the last few days, and I didn't plan to take a nap, so I thought about walking in the nearby mountains. My family actually wants me to go out for a walk - after all, it's also a pastime, and it seems to be better for my health to go out for a walk than to stay at home and watch anime all day.

At the foot of the hill is an elementary school that I once attended. There was a piano shop at the entrance of the elementary school, and I still remember when I was a child, my mother accompanied me to practice the piano here - now that I think about it, let alone talent, I couldn't even do my part in my studies, and I really failed my parents' expectations of me.

On the way back down the mountain, I was able to see a lot of things that I used to see every day, including the big hotel I dreamed of every day when I was in elementary school. After years of wind and rain, that big hotel already seems to be a bit of a hero. But the atmosphere of elegance and luxury had not changed in the slightest—especially the sound of the piano, which came from the hall, not from the nearby piano shop.

I couldn't help but walk in to feel the nooks and crannies that I felt when I came to this "adventure" as a child.

The sound of the piano echoed through the empty lobby, making it feel like you were strolling around.

"Hey, Yujie, why are you here?"

The piano stopped suddenly, and a familiar girl's voice asked me, and I realized that I had unconsciously retreated to the piano.

"......I can't believe my eyes, my ears - is my world too small?" You can meet Yirui-san here.

"Hey, little girl, don't be deserted!" The uncle at the counter in the lobby shouted at her from afar.

"Then you go and sit down over there first, and I'll finish playing it in a moment." She held out her slender index finger and motioned for me to sit down on the soft couch in the hall and continue to play.

I've always heard that Yirui can play the piano before, and she plays it very well, but this time I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. It's just that I've been surrounded by Yirui-san lately.,Even in this place where I thought I couldn't fight with Yirui's eight poles, I couldn't believe I wasn't dreaming.。

Ten minutes or so, about four o'clock, she walked out of the playing area and came to me.

"I'm tired of playing."

"I'm not tired at all!" She replied briskly.

"Words ......"

"Why am I here?" She shook her hands and preemptively voiced my question.

"Well, it's in such a luxurious hotel lobby!"

"Actually, I'm kind of working for myself."

"Part-time job? Is it to earn living expenses for yourself? ”

I've heard from my classmates before that the conditions of Yirui's family should be good, and her parents should not be willing to let her come out to work to make money.

"That's right......"

"Why?" At this time, my mind was already full of doubts, "Why do you have to earn your own living expenses?" ”

"Hey," she sighed, sitting down on the couch opposite, "for the sake of the relationship between you and me, I'll tell you the truth!" ”

"Hmmm......"

"They are rarely at home at night, and they don't know what they are doing, but they only tell me that it is a matter of the unit. Before, when I was about a freshman in high school, I had a fight with them. From then on, I used everything except the necessities they provided me to buy for myself. ”

"And then come here to play the piano?"

"Actually, I originally planned to teach others how to play the piano at the piano shop on the side. As a result, they gave me reasons for refusal that I couldn't refute. ”

"Huh?"

"One, you have to work there at least until you reach the age of eighteen. Second, there is no shortage of teachers who are higher than me. ”

"It's good that you can play the piano here."

"Yes. Because this hotel has been around for a long time, some people who specialize in playing the piano don't come here anymore, so I was chosen by them! It just so happens that Monday to Friday only takes up an hour from 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock, and on weekends, they only ask me to bounce on my body for an afternoon, so I don't have to worry about affecting my studies, and I can earn my own living expenses relatively easily. ”

"Yirui is really a person who is outstanding in everything!"

"By the way, it's past four o'clock, why don't you just have dinner with me here and then go to school!"

"I didn't have much money to go out! If you finish eating, I'm afraid you can only go to Wu County snacks on the side. ”

"It's okay!" She took out two cafeteria vouchers from the small bag she was carrying, "As part of the payment, they will provide me with dinner every day." But last Sunday night, they took me to a relative's house for dinner, and they had an extra coupon, so let's use it! ”

Because classmates may indeed have some small conflicts with their parents, she always likes to use "they" instead of "they" when mentioning her parents.

I talked to my family on the phone to ask for their opinions, and they naturally agreed without saying a word.

In this way, my relationship with her is really developing so fast! By this time last week, the two of us hadn't even spoken a word, and we were now facing each other for dinner at a luxury restaurant. I have to say, I feel like I'm living in a dream!

For two hours, we enjoyed dinner and talked about all sorts of anecdotes about what happened around us. Of course, half an hour was occupied by a math problem she didn't know where to go.

"I wanted to meet together at school at seven o'clock, but I didn't expect to meet here three hours early, and I can really always have so many coincidences with you!"

"yes......"

After finishing a dinner interspersed with several topics and analytic geometry, she and I walked to school together. The high school we attended was not far from here, and it only took about ten minutes to get there.

Although no one has a mandatory uniform to come to school on weekends, she and I still wear full summer uniforms.

The security guard at the school gate didn't even ask us why we came to the school, and let us in. The door to the garden was still unlocked, half-hidden and swaying in the wind, and Yirui walked in front, gently pushed the door open, and poked inside, and after making sure that no one else was here, she let me in with her.

"Maybe there's another guy lurking here like you!" I joked to her.

"I should have told you that!"

The path of the garden was covered with fallen leaves, and I followed her into the depths of the garden, the leaves under my feet making a familiar crisp sound as I stepped on them.

"The wind and rain blow, the flowers fall and the leaves fall ......"

"Huh?" I obviously didn't understand what she meant.

"It rained for so long before, and many of the plants in the garden turned into dust."

"Hmm. But no one came to clean the garden, so it was a mess. ”

"This is it!" She stopped as she walked. Before I knew it, I had walked with her to the end of the garden, where there was a large open space, and there were a few large trees growing on both sides, and it would be a good choice if you came here during the day to enjoy the shade.

"Here?"

"Well, I have been interested in the flowers and plants around me since I was a child, and I have dreamed of building a flower garden by myself since I was a child." As she spoke, she walked around the clearing.

"So, you're going to create a flower garden here?"

Sometimes, I really can't understand what Eri-san's plans seem to be unrealistic.

"Well, what, don't forget that we all have supernatural abilities!" She saw that I was full of doubts and said, "Besides, I don't think it's enough for us to just write a proposal, and in order to really stop the school from doing something to this place, I think the first thing is to make it look less decaying." ”

"So you're going to plant flowers to decorate this place? Don't play ......"

"Yes, it's our own hands!" I was about to say something when she interrupted me.

"Ah......h

"If this garden looks really beautiful, then they probably won't be able to do it."

"That's right."

"So, use this clearing!" She walked to the center of the clearing and continued, "Because it's summer now, and the weather is relatively hot, it should be more suitable for planting moon flowers and the like, and after a while, the sky will be clear, and this clearing will be able to receive the sun well, and the shade on both sides can keep the temperature here from being particularly high." So, I planned that we would start here. ”

"Do you want to decorate the whole garden from here?"

"Pretty much, because the flower bed near the periphery has been re-covered during the school anniversary, and it looks pretty good from the outside. But the inside of the garden is unsightly, so after the final exams, let's clean up the garden and sweep away the fallen leaves that have accumulated on the road, and then start to gradually beautify the garden according to the seasons. In short, to prevent the school from starting construction next year. ”

Looks like she's been planning for this a long time ago.

"But don't worry, we still have to deal with the most important thing in front of us - the final exam."

"I don't think it's important."

"Anyway, after the summer vacation, we're going to get started."

"Okay."

"Great!" She looked up at the sky that wasn't yet dark, and it sounded incredibly lighthearted.

"Why did you choose me over so many of your other friends?"

I don't know why, but I accidentally said this question that had been hidden in my heart for nearly a week.

"Huh?" She turned back to me and said, "Well, a guy like you, who doesn't have many friends, is probably the best place to keep secrets." ”

"Is there still an advantage in not having friends?"

"Just kidding," she giggled, and continued, "Actually, I've noticed from the beginning that you don't really have any suspicion of others, unlike those self-righteous guys who love to 'grandstand' in class all the time, laughing and befriending you on the surface, but they don't know what they're doing in their hearts. Moreover, although you seem to be out of place with others on the surface, you have a heart that loves to think about others. So, until I find another suitable candidate, I think you're the best person to work with me on this project. ”

"Not even your best friend?"

"Don't say it, even she thinks it's unrealistic for me to do these things."

To be honest, I didn't think it was practical for her to do these things, but I still didn't say what I thought about seeing how passionate she was trying to stop the school from demolishing the garden.

"Besides, we both have supernatural abilities, don't we?" She added.

"Yes."

I never knew what my supernatural powers could do other than quickly sweep away fallen leaves from the ground, but I did believe that I had untapped supernatural powers.

"That's it!"

"Hmm."

On the surface, it was said that it was "decided" with Yirui, but in fact, I still had some resistance in my heart, including when I was asked to write a recommendation letter before. But Ire-san, who had been involved in the program from the very beginning, didn't know how to refuse her when she said things like "you will" and "we're together".

I followed in her footsteps and walked with her around every corner of the garden, listening to her finish all the plans for the rest of the day.

Before I knew it, we were completely shrouded in the night, and Yirui, who led me around the garden, was still walking around the pavilion with energy. And after going around in such a big circle, I just want to sit on the stone bench for a while like I am now.

Final exams are coming up next week. Although my heart still has no fluctuations so far, considering that the joint entrance examination is still very important to Yirui, so, at my suggestion, the two of us left the campus together before half past eight.

Walking home with Yirui, I found that there was only a road and a convenience hotel between me and Yirui's home, maybe because I rode my bicycle through the alleys every day, and I had never seen Yirui in this neighborhood before.

June is coming to an end, and the slightly hot summer breeze blows the curtains in the living room, announcing the arrival of the continuous high temperature in July. Maybe even going out will be a torment then, I thought to myself. But even so, I was still curious and looking forward to how Yirui's plan would be implemented during the summer vacation.
