New Life

...someone who is easily shy?

Who could this be?

This problem was no less difficult than the "doll" problem, but this time he wasn't the only one standing in front of the cardboard box. He no longer had to rack his brains alone; he could comfortably borrow another brain to help him think.

As soon as Gojumaki turned his gaze, Hinata Aoi knew that although this note had nothing to do with her literally, it was not completely unrelated.

This sports meet can be said to be the one in which she participated the most, and she attended all three team competitions.

There are actually quite a few people in the class who are easily shy, such as Takada, one of the girls who had previously reported her.

Takata and Gojumaki Sho have quite a lot of interactions, but Gojumaki's mind is on Hinata Aoi, and he spends the rest of his time studying and training. He will not explore the logic of other people's behavior unless it is necessary.

When Takada spoke to him, he just responded normally. He didn't think about why her voice was so low, why her tone was so high, why her face was red, or why she avoided looking at him.

To the point that until now he only has an impression of his classmates, but doesn't know them very well.

Before Hinata Aoi could decide who to look for, Ueno Naoka, who had been paying attention to Gomuki's competition, rushed over without hesitation.

She had been jealous of Gou Juanji for a long time, and secretly cursed him for his despicableness and shamelessness countless times in her heart.

There are 6 tasks in total. He dragged Hinata Aoi along with him for the first two, and completed the third and fourth tasks while holding Hinata Aoi's phone. When it came to the fifth task, he went back to look for Hinata Aoi... Why is he still staring at Hinata Aoi at the sixth task?

There are six notes, is it really possible that every one of them is related to Hinata Aoi?

Can a person’s luck be so good?

If it weren't for the class points, Ueno Naoka would have reported Inumaki Satoru for cheating long ago!

This time the note she drew was "gold". Looking around, only Hinata Aoi met this condition, and no one could snatch it from her!

At this moment, the anger in Ueno Naoka's heart is no longer just anger. Gomuki is even closer to Nishiki Aoi.

The fact that she was defeated in every way by Goujuan was enough to build up a strong desire for her to defeat Goujuan.

She inserted herself between Inumaki Tsuchiya and Hinata Aoi and started arguing.

"Gojumaki-kun, you've dragged Xiaokui around many times, right? What do you want to borrow this time?"

"Why don't you go borrow something? I'll take Xiaokui with me~"

With the index finger in front and the thumb and middle finger behind, he spread out the piece of paper with "gold" written on it and showed it off in front of Goujuan.

Time to give in, kid.

If she wasn't a decent person, her middle finger would be raised by now.

Inumaki Satoru didn't want to give in, and he only didn't want to give in to Ueno.

Even if he stopped thinking about the logic behind other people's behavior, he realized over and over again that Ueno Naoka was not on good terms with him.

If it was for any other reason, Goujuan wouldn't mind giving in, but if it was related to Hinata Aoi, he had to fight for it!

But Ueno is in the same class, and hindering her will affect the class points... Inumaki Satoru is in a dilemma.

Someone had already made the choice for him.

His teacher in every sense - Nishimiya Shoko quietly grabbed Hinata Aoi's sleeve and pulled her a few steps forward.

Hinata Aoi did not use any force to resist Nishimiya's actions, but followed her for a few steps with a smile in her confusion.

Is this person also here to "borrow" her?

It's a bit funny to borrow something from your opponent.

Nishimiya Naoko didn't think about whether she was an opponent or not in her little head. The only thing she needed to overcome to do this was her courage.

The "celestial bodies" written on her note looked like the Earth, the Moon, Mercury, and Mars.

She could run back to the classroom to get the globe, but why go to such great lengths?

She couldn't think of a more appropriate answer than Hinata Aoi.

Hinata Aoi's golden eyes are like the sun, and her quiet personality is like the moon. They help her escape from the suffocating interpersonal environment and start a new campus life, and they also fulfill her wishes like the stars.

But she didn't dare to look for Hinata Aoi, they weren't friends yet...

Just as she was hesitating to run to the classroom, Ueno and Inuju confronted each other, and Hinata Aoi was "left idle" aside.

It was a good opportunity to steal someone, and Nishimiya Naoko was deeply tempted.

She had also envied her apprentice for a long time, and had been helping him with advice and strategies, mixed with some kind of substitute literature, thinking that him being friends with Hinata Aoi was equivalent to herself being friends with Hinata Aoi.

But if it really comes to fruition, I'd be unwilling to accept it... Why can he do it but I can't?!

At this moment, her adrenaline surged silently, pushing her to grab Hinata Aoi and run away.

Once the first step was taken, the rest would be easy. Seeing that Hinata Aoi didn't refuse, she spread her sleeves and directly grasped Hinata Aoi's arm, forcing her to the next mission location.

It's not the last note.

Hinata Aoi glanced at the direction Nishimiya was heading, and understood what was going on. She snapped her fingers several times to attract the attention of the two people who were still confronting each other.

Gojumaki noticed it first and looked over. Hinata Aoi made a "6" gesture and pointed in the direction of Ueno.

Ueno Naoka looked confused, and only realized it when Gomuki repeated Hinata Aoi's actions: "It's the sixth mission, what's wrong?"

Are you looking down on her and thinking she can't be that fast?

Just kidding, she was running for her life just to beat Inugami Ji!

After getting the answer, Gojuan gave Hinata Aoi a thumbs up, and Hinata Aoi half turned around and replied "OK".

"…What are you doing?"

Inujuan Ji took out his cell phone and typed: "Follow me."

"What are you talking about? We're in a competition, don't waste time!"

As Ueno Naoka said this, she obediently followed Inumaki Satoru.

She didn't listen to what Goujuan said, but just looked at the actions just now. All this should be arranged by Hinata Aoi.

...Damn it, how can they be so in sync? She also wants to learn sign language!

On the other side, Hinata Aoi was being dragged by Nishimiya and was about to run to the mission point.

The girl who had been cheering behind Nishimiya stopped holding the cheering balloon in her hand.

Her companions were helping Nishimiya Naoko move the globe back to the classroom, so she was the only one following Nishimiya from a distance, watching this scene happen.

Something feels a little off...

But she couldn't go forward to stop it, because it was Nishimiya who took the initiative to choose the "item", and that person was the daughter of her own class teacher.

What could happen? Hinata-san must have come with good intentions~—the girl consoled herself.

When they reached the mission point, the referee looked at the note and questioned, "Where are the stars?"

Hinata Aoi pointed at her eyes without any hesitation.

"...Okay." These students really love playing with abstractions.

After completing the task, Hinata Aoi signaled Nishimiya to quickly draw the next piece of paper.

The swelling joy in Xigong's heart had not yet dissipated, and he reached out blankly - "water cup".

This should be Nishimiya Shoko's fifth mission.

Hinata Aoi withdrew her gaze, and without waiting for Nishimiya to come back to her senses, she directly held Nishimiya's thigh with one hand and back with the other hand and ran towards the finish line.

The referee was stunned, stretching his neck and following Hinata Aoi's figure with his eyes to see what she was going to do.

Inumaki Satoru was already ready at the finish line with Ueno Naoka.

Ueno Naoka only understood Hinata Aoi's intention after reading the note from Inumaki Satoru. The two watched the whole process as Hinata Aoi carried the "shy person" to the finish line in the posture of holding a child.

Nishimiya was still smiling shyly and happily in the arms of her embrace when Hinata Aoi put him down, and the four of them crossed the finish line together.

The referee waiting at the finish line wanted to say something but hesitated, still didn't know what to say. After verifying the notes from Inumaki Satoru and Ueno Naoka, he laughed heartily.

She half squatted down and rubbed Xigong's head: "Silly boy, continue the game." He didn't even know that he was being sold.

The girl who was watching also slapped her forehead in regret.

It really is my class teacher’s daughter... So insidious, no, so cunning!

Only Nishimiya Shoko was still in a daze, unable to hear any sound and having no idea what was happening.

Oh, we crossed the finish line?

It’s okay, Hinata-san held me all the way!

She was so close that she could almost hear Hinata-san's heartbeat!

In fact, she didn't hear anything, but just felt her own heartbeat. Xigong couldn't stop smiling, and she didn't forget to take her note and walk to find the water cup with her short legs.

Goujuanji still felt a little guilty about deceiving his teacher.

He quickly took the referee's water cup. Seeing this, Hinata Aoi grabbed Nishimiya's collar with one hand to make her stop and turn around. With the other hand, she took the water cup handed to her by Inumaki Saki and stuffed it into her arms.

A wild water cup fell from the sky, and Nishimiya was even happier.

He waved goodbye and ran towards the last mission point.

"ah?"

The referee who had "lost" a water cup right under his nose made a sound.

Ueno Naoka, the only one of the three children who could speak, had to bear the pressure of explaining.

"Thank you so much, teacher. I'll get it back to you in a moment~"

Inumaki Satoru and Hinata Aoi also blinked their big innocent eyes, creating a cute effect without any extra expressions.

The referee smiled and reached out to mess up the three children's hair.

"Okay, don't forget, otherwise the teacher will die of thirst~"

...This is not funny at all.

Ueno faked a smile and left this place of trouble, holding a child in each hand.

…

“Beep—”

The whistle sounded, the last student finished the race, and this year's school sports meeting was about to come to an end.

The audience waited for half an hour before the final class ranking and award ceremony began.

After a tiring day, Hinata Aoi went to the faucet at the edge of the field to wash her hands. Just as she was about to shake off the water droplets, she saw Inuma Saki approaching, so she had no choice but to let her hands drop down and wait for them to dry naturally.

Inumaki Satoru solemnly opened the notebook he hadn't used with Hinata Aoi for a long time, and stopped at the page where he had written every stroke carefully.

Just now, when the game ended, Ueno excitedly complained to Kawai about his shamelessness, and he heard it.

Goujuanji did not feel sad about being talked about behind his back.

After all, in previous school, bad things were said to his face, and they were very harsh and unpleasant. Now, when he encountered classmates who said bad things behind his back, he felt the warmth of human nature.

But this also made him suddenly realize that he was so shameless in front of Hinata Aoi.

Thinking carefully about past experiences, is it only shamelessness that can occupy a greater weight in Hinata Aoi's heart?

...Do you want to push your luck a little further?

So he carefully wrote in his notebook:

"If I learn lip reading, can I talk to you?"

Hinata Aoi would understand what he meant by actually saying it out loud.

And it would only be fair if he did so after he learned lip reading himself.

When Haibara Yu told him that "Hinata Aoi is not affected by cursed energy, you can try talking to her", he was of course tempted.

He had known something about this matter before, but there was no conclusion.

When he bumped into Hinata Aoi at the corner and Hinata Aoi grabbed his arm, all the cursed energy in his body disappeared.

My throat, which had been constrained for a long time, felt relieved, and I felt like I could sing a high note just by opening my mouth.

The curse that had troubled him since he was a child just disappeared. He had encountered a miracle for the first time and wanted to experience it again, so he "ran away from home" over and over again, looking for Hinata Aoi and wanting to have physical contact with her to test whether the miracle that time was real.

Looking back now, he feels like he was living in a dream at that moment.

But he failed to successfully contact Hinata Aoi, and Hinata Aoi was kidnapped by the curse master.

He didn't want to ruin the dazzling sunshine because of himself, so he planned to stay away, but Huihara Xiong gave him hope.

He could no longer selfishly harass Hinata Aoi like he did when they first met. After much thought, Inumaki Satoru decided to talk to Hinata Aoi on an equal footing - as long as he could understand lip reading, he could have a real chat with Hinata Aoi.

He has been secretly practicing at home for a long time, staring at his parents' mouths every day, which makes them always suspect that their mouths are not clean and there are vegetable leaves on their teeth.

He knew that he would shine brightly if given a little sunshine, and it was impossible for him to resist talking to Hinata Aoi forever, so he took this opportunity to tell Hinata Aoi what he was going to do.

Today is October 23rd, the second day of the sports meet and also his birthday.

Of course, he wouldn't be so shameless as to ask Hinata Aoi for this as a birthday present, but he hopes that this day will bring him good luck.

And the second sentence he prepared in his notebook was:

"If you don't refuse, I'll take it as your consent."

Be shameless to the end.

Two sentences, but with a three-second gap to give Hinata Aoi time to think.

After Inumaki Satoru was sure that Hinata Aoi understood the second sentence, he immediately closed the notebook and escaped calmly, thinking he had escaped.

Sunflower:......

She should be the one running away, right?

Gojuanji always gives her a new scare when she just barely adapts.

...How far will it take before you stop?

Hinata Aoi clasped her own cold palms and returned to her seat to sit down.
