61. Who likes to be lonely, but they just don't want to be disappointed.
This small farce finally came to an end, and after sending handmade sweets to Jingu Teratsuki, Sakura Koji Sakura went to participate in the weekend's club training.
Because you can't eat in a place like a bookstore, Sakura Koji Sakura can only taste the dim sum brought by Sakura Koji, and the boy sits in the rest area in the corner of the bookstore, silently turning the pages in his hand.
On the edge of a few bookshelves, a short schoolgirl was pretending to be cleaning, and her eyes kept glancing towards Jingu Siyue.
"Do your job."
The boy said without raising his head.
"Goo...... Senior, do you treat us as good subordinates? ”
"I'm very optimistic about you, you will be the pillar of this place in the future, and those who can work hard."
"We're sad, other people's fifteen-year-olds are talking about sweet love, and when we are fifteen years old, we have already tasted the hardships of workplace bullying, and we don't believe it in the world."
"To this point?"
"It's all the seniors."
"Yes, yes, oh yes, there's a ladder over there, so build a ladder where you can't reach it, and wipe it carefully."
"Sexual harassment, workplace bullying, we hate Tokyo."
"Coincidentally, I hate it too."
Yang Gong Yao glared at the young man angrily, but no matter what expression she made on her face, she was regarded as a cute mascot by the people, which was a loss of being too cute.
The girl kept grimacing at Jingu Siyue, and Jingu Siyue "snapped" to close the books, and Yangiya Yao was startled and hid behind the bookshelf.
Jingu Siyue walked over wordlessly, and in the face of the girl's vigilant expression bending over, she laughed inexplicably, and her originally somewhat depressed mood was expressed incredibly, and she patted the girl's head gently:
"You clean the lower floor, I'll clean the upper floor, is that okay?"
"Huh? Not...... Yes, yes. ”
"Then let's do it."
"Oh...... Wow. ”
"Why are you looking like you have something to say to me?"
"The senior is suddenly so gentle with us, we are a little unaccustomed, ah, it hurts, it hurts-"
Jingu Siyue let go of the hand that was clenching her Heavenly Spirit Gai, and said lightly: "Are you satisfied now?" ”
"Violent opposition!"
"Work hard, have a drink, please."
"Really? All right! We're going to drink Dr Pepper. ”
"You know a lot."
"Hey~"
……
……
At five o'clock in the afternoon, after the part-time job ended, Jingu Teratsuki and Kyoko Nagumo, who came to take over the shift, switched seats, put the apron back in the cabinet, and prepared to leave the store.
"Oh yes, Miss Nagumo, can you lend me this?"
"This" refers to Yomiya Yao.
"The senior is really excessive, what is 'this'!" Yang Gong Yao slapped the young man's hand away, and his face bulged like a hot air balloon about to take off.
"Well...... It doesn't matter, huh? Are you also interested in my Yao-chan? Kyoko Nagumo showed a teasing expression, looking like she wanted to have fun.
"Not at all." Jingu Temple Moon said calmly.
"Goo! was denied as if nothing happened, and our girl's heart was somewhat hurt. Yang Gong Yao clutched his chest, looking like he had been hit hard.
"Girl's Heart or Dr Pepper, which one to choose?"
“Dr Pepper!”
The mood of the little animal is visibly cheerful, and it can be seen that the "girl's heart" is too early for her.
"Auntie! I'm out with my senior! ”
"Don't call your aunt."
"Yes, Gong-chan, senior, let's go."
So, Yang Gong Yao dragged Jingu Temple Moon, pushed open the door of the bookstore, and when the "bell bell" subsided, the store returned to silence, leaving the adult woman lazily cocking Erlang's legs, and then looking at the book that the teenager hadn't finished.
Walking through the intricate alleys, the boy drops coins into the vending machine, drops two cans of Dr Pepper, and hands one to the short girl next to him.
"Thank you, senior."
With a pop of the tab, Jingu Teratsuki sat down on a bench in the open-air lounge area outside the mall, and Yomiya Yao sat beside him very naturally, just like in the school's student council room.
"Goo-goo-goo...... Poof!! Refreshing! ”
"Isn't it so delicious?"
"Because I got it for free."
Jingu Siyue silently took a sip of his drink: "Oh, that's it." ”
Yang Gongyao held the drink can in both hands, his two legs swaying slightly, and the slightly rough denim fabric rubbed left and right, making a "rustling" sound.
"Senior, you don't seem to have asked us."
"What?"
"At the beginning, we were the same as the seniors, and we didn't want to join the club, but in the end, we turned to the president."
"Oh...... Well, it doesn't matter. Jingu Temple Moon said calmly.
At first, Jingu Teratsuki was reluctant to join the club because he had a systematic task and had to pick up girls after school.
By the time he uninstalled the system, he was already a notorious scumbag, and I believe that no club would welcome a guy like him.
Even if there was such a club, when he joined, he would be swallowed up by the gossip of the school, which was completely predictable.
It can be said that if you want to accept Jingu Teraki, you are fighting against the atmosphere of the school.
No one can beat the atmosphere.
Instead of doing such useless work, it is better to go home early and read a book to feel comfortable.
However, it was during that period that a young girl approached him and dragged him into the student council by herself.
This is the first time that Jingu Temple has found a place to live in the cage called "School" that excluded him.
Although it is not a eulogy of youth, it is more comfortable than walking alone on the long cherry blossom road before twilight and listening to the shouts from the playground.
As Haruki Murakami said, no one likes to be alone, they just don't want to be disappointed.
Jingu Temple Moon is not exempt from vulgarity.
He was nothing more than a sixteen-year-old boy, naïve, young, and prejudiced against the world.
With the pain of adolescence in his heart, he carefully covered his wounds before he grew into an adult, and was ashamed to show them.
Seeing that Jingu Siyue didn't speak, the short girl beside him kept squinting at him.
"Hey, if the senior asks us now, we might tell the truth."
"I have no interest in the privacy of my juniors."
Yang Gongyao let out a shallow "oh" sound and took a sip of his drink.
Suddenly, Jingu Temple suddenly thought of something, and turned his head to look at Yang Gong Yao: "Tomorrow morning, is it okay?" ”
"Tomorrow morning? Yes...... Something to check. ”
"It's still too late to talk to Chairman Hoshino Mori, and I'm fine alone."
"We didn't say we weren't happy."
"Really? Standing at the school gate with me, I don't know if I will be excluded. ”
Yang Gongyao snorted angrily: "It may be someone else, but we are very cute, and no one will hate us." ”
The boy smiled bitterly: "What a great confidence." ”
The girl jumped off the bench and faced the teenager: "In short, seniors don't need to worry about this kind of thing, although seniors will be sexually harassed, workplace bullying, and a little DV, but we are not vegetarians." ”
"Don't say that to your classmates, then I'll be wanted in the first grade."
"Poofhaha, then the senior is going to come to please us."
"Yes, yes."
She glanced at her phone, laughed softly and said, "It's not early, we have to go back, otherwise my aunt will be worried." ”
"Hmm."
"That'...... See you at school, thank you Dr Pepper, senior. ”
Yang Gongyao took a smart step, smiled and waved goodbye, leaving a slender back.
See ...... at school Is it?
The boy closed his eyes and felt that going to school didn't seem so bad.
