Chapter 47 Chapter 47 (first update) Umihara Festival I...
It was already late when they finished packing up the things they had made. Xiangcheng tiptoed to open the door and let in the two cats lying at the door.
There were low voices coming from the parents' room. Just when Xiangcheng bent down to pick up the little monster, he suddenly heard his mother choking and saying, "Dad's health..."
Xiangcheng was stunned for two seconds, then tiptoed towards their door.
“Not too optimistic…”
"Is there no other good way?"
"It's too much suffering, and Dad doesn't really want to do it. He still wants to be respectable."
"And I'm afraid Xiangcheng will worry."
The little monster in his arms made a "meow" sound and licked Xiangcheng's face with its tongue.
I don't know if they heard the monster's voice, but the conversation between the two fell silent.
Xiangcheng hugged the little monster tightly and tiptoed back to the room.
She sat at the desk, letting the little monster with wet fur jump out of her arms while shaking its fur.
Then he slowly covered his entire face.
She has never been a careful child, so everyone kept it a secret from her for a long time.
Carcinoma of the lungs.
Perhaps my grandfather had known and accepted this result long before.
Xiangcheng put down his hands blankly, opened his eyes and stared at the empty spot in the darkness. The memories of the past with his grandfather kept turning like scenes from a movie.
When she was little, she was curious and scared when she saw her father examining her grandfather's wound after an appendectomy. Her grandfather would proudly say, "This is proof that you fought aliens!"
She pounced on him with a smile, pressing him so hard that his grandfather grimaced.
Following her grandfather to school, watching the older brothers and sisters pass the ball and dunk the ball with abandon, she took advantage of her grandfather's inattention to join the team. A ball hit her in the back, sending her sprawling to the ground. Her grandfather's furious roar shook the air, "Can't you control your direction? Can't you see there are children?"
Later, she was no longer allowed to enter the gymnasium, so she would cling to the window and whisper, "Grandpa, Grandpa, I want to play too!"
Grandpa handed a volleyball out of the window with a cold face: "Go away, go away."
But when she turned around, he couldn't help but follow her, watching her clumsily throw the ball up, and then happily chasing after her with her short legs.
"Our Xiangcheng will definitely become my most proud disciple."
"Happiness comes first," my grandfather said before we moved. "This school is really killing you. Go..."
Go where you can fly freely.
No need to look back.
…
"Yuzuki...are you okay?"
Xiang Cheng looked up and met Yukimura's worried eyes. She shook her head and quickly handed him a new tool.
Today's task is to complete the construction of the haunted house. The class monitor purchased a batch of foam boards. Three students from the art club took the lead in drawing the molds, and the others cut them one by one.
Xiangcheng was still the one who handed Yukimura the tools.
But I was so uncomfortable last night that I couldn't sleep at all. I woke up at four or five o'clock, and was afraid that my parents would notice something, so I hurriedly put ice on my eyes.
Fortunately, it didn’t look very obvious this morning, maybe there was still some redness at the corners of my eyes.
After hesitating for a long time, she didn't call her grandfather rashly.
She was afraid that she would burst into tears the moment she answered the phone.
——After the Kaihara Festival is over, she will definitely act as if she didn’t hear anything and be her grandfather’s happy pill.
Yukimura hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Do you want to...sneak back some sleep?"
Xiang Cheng waved her hand: "No, everyone is so busy, I'm fine."
Yukimura didn't say anything else, but just silently quickened his movements.
When everyone is fully immersed in the same thing, its arrival becomes particularly exciting and proud.
Moreover, on this day, the breeze was gentle and the clouds came just right, so it wasn't too sunny and there was no sign of rain.
Anyone who steps into Rikkai University will be attracted by the noisy and lively youthful atmosphere.
Members of the Student Union stood at the school gate, checking and welcoming guests from afar.
Sanada Genichirō also put on a smile that was not so pretty but at least not scary, after being reminded by Yanagi Renji and Yagyu Hiroshi beside him.
Even though there was a child who stared at him for a few seconds, then buried his head in his mother's arms and never came out again.
Yanagi Renji trembled and wrote something down when no one was around him.
Xiangcheng forced herself to distribute brochures about the class haunted house downstairs, but the effect wasn't very good - it was so early in the morning and perhaps no one had decided to do such an exciting activity.
Fortunately, the color pages have been distributed.
Xiangcheng went to the volleyball club's booth to help again. At this time, Aiko's parents and Aiko set up the machine together and were teaching her how to operate it correctly.
Xiangcheng greeted the two elders and helped others put the fruits and other things they would use in order. After washing her hands, she put on the bright yellow apron kindly provided by Aiko's family and tied a headscarf of the same color, looking quite presentable.
Xiangcheng has been talking less these days, and everyone thought she was tired, so before she had even stood for a while, Matsumoto Genon asked her to sit aside to organize and count the cups and straws.
"Oh, is this the place?"
"Yes - hello, may I ask if Yuihara Kaoru is here?" Hearing the familiar voice of Mizunoe Haruko, Kaoru stood up and finally smiled with ease.
"Come on, what would you like to drink?" Xiangcheng took out the drink menu that Yukimura had made and handed it to Haruko. Haruko took a quick look at it and then handed it to Atobe Keigo: "Atobe, take a look first."
Atobe picked it up with one hand and glanced at it casually: "Let's get the most expensive one, ten servings."
Big customer!
Senior Aiko exclaimed in surprise, "Oh?" and quickly arranged for the Kobayashi sisters to prepare the materials.
The most expensive one, of course, has the most ingredients, and we will let the first wave of big customers taste Zengtian’s most famous fruit tea!
Xiangcheng put on a mask, took the sealed drink, helped pack it, and chatted with Haruko at the same time.
"I didn't expect you all to come in such a complete group!"
Haruko looked at Hyotei's huge team and said, "Yes, these are invitation tickets sent by the tennis club, so we treat it as a team building activity."
"It's a shame the tennis club doesn't seem to have a show this year. I heard they had Sleeping Beauty last year, which should have been quite interesting."
Haruko spread her hands and said, "I didn't know that last year either! But I'm really looking forward to your show this afternoon."
The Kobayashi sisters and Masuda Aiko couldn't help laughing. Finally, Masuda Aiko cleared her throat and said, "Stop putting pressure on Xiangcheng. She just tamed her limbs yesterday."
Xiangcheng gave an awkward yet polite smile, hidden under the mask, which made him look less socially awkward.
"Really?" Haruko also laughed: "I haven't seen Xiangcheng dance in all these years. Well, I will definitely watch it."
Xiangcheng pushed the last drink over and said, "Let's go, let's go! If you keep talking, I'll forget all the moves."
Haruko then picked up the last cup, said "Come on", and left with Atobe and others.
"Wow, there are so many handsome guys in this school!" Kobayashi Kei couldn't help but sigh.
Her sister Xiaolin Xing nodded frantically: "He looks like a male model!"
Masuda Aiko's usually expressionless face also showed her admiration for the handsome guy: "It really makes me happy~"
They all looked at Xiangcheng: "Xiangcheng, what do you think?"
Xiang Cheng curled her lips and said, "I think the Rikkai University tennis club is pretty good too."
"I always feel tired of seeing it..."
"That's right, he's not like Yukimura after all. Yukimura-kun is pretty petty after all~"
"If Xiangcheng doesn't say something nice, will Yukimura-kun…"
"Stop!" Xiangcheng immediately made a pause gesture: "No joking!"
The three of them smiled ambiguously.
Xiangcheng had no choice but to sit back down and continue working. Luckily, she had gotten used to being teased lately. As long as she didn't react to them, everything would be fine in a while.
Gradually, more and more customers came and they became busy.
After it was the second group's turn to take over, Xiangcheng finally had time to return to his own classroom.
At this time, the haunted house also opened for business, and it was said that a group of people had already entered.
She handed over her work to the classmate selling tickets at the door, and listened with amusement to the shouts of "Ah - what is that?" and "Don't come over here" from inside.
NPC No. 1 on the shift schedule happens to be Yukimura Seiichi, and he will definitely find this job very interesting.
There was a scene of ghosts howling and wolves howling in the classroom, and the eager visitors outside the classroom were also nervous.
One older sister couldn't help but ask, "Classmates, is what you did... scary?"
Xiangcheng shook her head sincerely, putting on her most gentle and harmless smile. "No! Maybe it's because we took the props so seriously, the experience inside is so real. I highly recommend everyone to try it later~"
"Y-Really?"
At that moment, the back door was flung open, and several boys in blue and white school uniforms fell out one after another. In the end, only one came out with a smile on his face: "Oh, everyone is really... too timid!"
The crowd queuing at the front door collectively took a step back, and were comforted by Xiangcheng's seemingly harmless smile.
Xiang Cheng came up with a plan, looked at the last boy, and greeted him, "Fuji-kun!"
"Oh? It's Yuihara-san."
Fuji walked over and heard Xiangcheng ask, "Do you think this project of our class is fun?"
"It's really fun," Fuji said with a harmless smile, "It's just that my classmates and juniors aren't very good at it. Everyone should definitely give it a try."
Everyone who was comforted by the beautiful boy again looked at each other, and finally handed over the merchandise tickets in their hands, and embarked on an unknown journey amid the devil's whisper of "opening the door" by Xiangcheng.
"Thank you, Fuji-kun!" Xiangcheng said as he locked the front door.
Fuji raised his eyebrows: "I really think it's very good!"
Behind him, a tall figure, already in a state of separation, floated over: "Is that so...?... Bu... Er..."
"Hey, Agan, are you okay?"
Xiangcheng scratched her head. She had been afraid since she was a child, so she never entered the classroom again after making the props. Is it really that scary?
The screams in the classroom seemed to give her the best answer.
Despite the resentment of the people who had been deceived, Xiangcheng continued to welcome the next wave of customers - even the classmates of Seishun Gakuen where Fuji-kun was studying began to warmly welcome others to come in and find out what was going on.
Human beings, it is better to let your friends die than to let me die.
Xiangcheng thought with glee.
Until she saw Xiao Hei and Grind who finally found her.
She remembered something and asked other students to take over the job. Knuckles dragged the two of them to the empty rooftop.
She had too many questions.
