Chapter 12: The Lonely Goldfinch
[(1)] As long as you are bold, you can't fall in love
The Queen's Moon is a very special month, not only because it is the first month after the Month of Praise for the harvest season, and because it is the beginning of the colder weather on the continent of Tia, but also because it is a season filled with commemorative events - after the harvest of the Month of Praise, people have more time and desire to celebrate one holiday after another.
What are the commemorative holidays, why are they there, and how are they celebrated......
Oh, that's not the point at all - not many bunnies living in the academy would care about it. There is really only one thing they care about - festival = no class = vacation = play.
A series of commemorative activities at Anlimond College in the Queen's Month began in the second half of the month, and the first half of the month was theoretically still required to hold classes, but because the professors needed to be busy arranging the commemoration in the second half of the month, they would not pay much attention to teaching, taking the theory department as an example - the afternoon classes were always replaced by self-study.
The requirements for self-study classes are similar to those for early reading, and you can let yourself go in the classroom, but you are not allowed to leave early.
Actually, the situation of self-study is similar to that of morning reading.
Meaning:
As long as you are bold, you can't fall in love.
[(2)] Light
In the afternoon, the bell of the self-study class rang in the classroom of the first grade of the theory department, chasing the time—like a lightning bolt piercing the void, dazzling and exciting—the students stood up one after another, as if they had been liberated, and pulled their friends sitting around: "Let's go, let's go—don't look at it." ”
Among the group, there is one person who stands out.
"Hey, that's strange - why did the demon goldfinch learn to himself this afternoon?"
"I'll just say that the air today is inexplicably a little gloomy......
"If you want the air to be miserable, keep ......"
"Don't, don't, I'll just say it. ”
In the usual self-study class, the goldfinch would not appear in the classroom at all, but today, it was extremely unusual, she even came to the classroom early and sat quietly in the corner—until now.
There were a number of books spread out on her desk, most of which even the students in the theory department had never heard of—more importantly, they were so large that when all spread out, they were completely out of the range of the desk where she was, but she didn't need to worry about them blocking the other people's seats—no one wanted to come near hers.
The golden finch seemed to be reading a book seriously at this time—the hair on her forehead fell slightly as she lowered her head, and a pair of eyes fell intently on the book.
But occasionally glimpses of other places—seemingly unconscious, or deliberate.
One of these spread out books has a content that makes it easy to get intrigued — one of the sentences stands out.
[Confusion, gossip is everywhere, these words may be ......]
"Did you notice how Jolina looked this morning?"
"Scary - arrogant to death. ”
"yes, yes...... dragged it very much, and people who didn't know thought she had some powerful background. ”
"It's hard for Galier to be held accountable. ”
"Of course – it's still the aristocracy, after all. ”
"And who--go to her to tell what's going on? Looking at that, it always makes people feel like something is going on......"
"I've heard that it's not the first time Jolina has done this kind of thing. ”
"Really? No wonder I messed up with Teresa. ”
......
[Full of rejection, grudge speculation, ]
Sand......
The goldfinch raised his head slightly, and the hand that turned the book paused, and then lowered it again.
"How's Galileath doing?"
"I heard that I cried in the dormitory. ”
"It's a pity - but I didn't even keep my token necklace ......"
"Hehe, maybe it's a good thing? I can't stand watching her show off as a nobleman every day. ”
"At least pause for a while. ”
"But seriously, Gallier can cry, and it sounds like it's enjoyable—"
......
[Falling into the well, vicious...... However,]
Goldfinch casually flipped a book to the page in his memory and glanced at the words on it.
"Jolina didn't have a self-study class this afternoon?"
"It's not like hiding. ”
"I finally know how important my business is? ”
"Maybe she was called away by the Academic Affairs Office, I saw her go in that direction this afternoon, and went to find someone from the Academic Affairs Office - I happened to be with the ...... there It's a friend. ”
"Ahh ”
"Of course, in fact, I saw more than just one person last night, she didn't go back to the dormitory until the dormitory was closed, and when the dormitory aunt taught her, many people heard it. ”
"That's a bold one—where can she go on the big night?"
[But there are some important clues.] 】
Jolina ...... Last night, she was still outside in the middle of the night, and someone found out that she was "stealing", and she didn't come to self-study this afternoon...... I went to the Registrar's Office.
Almost.
The Plantageng exhaled slowly, frowning a little in a bad mood - these things were very fragmentary and their authenticity was very limited.
But...... Anyway, this information can only go so far.
Didn't one of her roommates know where Jolina had gone last night?
She really didn't know—the goldfinch went to bed early, and she didn't bother to know about Jolina's late return—except for the fact that Jolina might make too much noise, the goldfinch didn't care about anything else.
Not only did these gossips make her feel that she was not informative enough, but the rest of what made her unhappy......
Why did she study for the sake of listening to all these things that she didn't have—all of a sudden, so compassionate?!
The goldfinch looked up slowly, a flash of black in her pale golden eyes—a hint of boredom.
What a gloomy classroom.
Senseless suspicion...... For these people, the truth is probably not important, the important thing is whether what they know can satisfy their curiosity and desires - as long as it is information that can satisfy them, they can accept it unconditionally.
Then twist them into different statements in the way you like and pass them on to others.
The goldfinch narrowed its eyes, and the air pressure around it became lower and lower.
"Look! It's Shuer!"
"Is the warhead training over?"
"Whatever—it's really rare for someone from the warhead to come here, he's here ......"
“......”
At this point, the people chose to be silent and secretly looked in the direction of the goldfinch.
When the Plantage heard the word "Shuer" appear in the midst of the people's conversation, he no longer cared about what the others were saying, and the gloom in his heart, which was slowly wrapped around like black vines, quickly stagnated and faded—he quickly raised his head, and gradually felt a certain light in his sight, golden, warm...... Like the sun.
The blonde boy marched through the crowd, his steps brisk, his eyes not squinting, and he quickly caught himself in the corner—when he noticed that the other party had noticed him, he immediately smiled—and the blonde was raised, quite a little cheerful under the blue sky and white clouds.
In an instant, the haze in my heart was dispelled.
