Although Jiang Nian said that he would not buy a gift for Yukimura Seiichi, he still consulted Sakuragi Yuzi and Chiba Shuji, and knew that the gifts people often gave were limited edition greeting cards.
Jiang Nian took advantage of the weekend to buy the most popular greeting card at the mall. It was in the bright red color that Jiang Nian really liked. When he opened it, a Christmas tree model appeared and music played automatically.
Even the most ordinary greeting card cost Jiang Nian more than 2,000 yen.
For Jiang Nian, there are never any issues such as brand, quality, discount, exchange rate, etc. No matter what the product is, the higher the price, the more expensive it is.
For example, a bottle of mineral water costs 100 yen and a bottle of cola costs 200 yen, so cola, as a drink, is very expensive.
Jiang Nian gritted his teeth and paid the bill. Although he felt heartbroken, he didn't care too much when he thought that Yukimura Seiichi might like it.
After buying the greeting card, Jiang Nian quickly returned home and found the locked small box in the closet.
He took out the key from under the mattress and opened it, revealing three stacks of cash and two bank cards.
One bank card is from my mother Kotoko Oshizuka, and the other is my salary card from my part-time translation job.
Jiang Nian rarely uses the money his mother gave him. There is about 320,000 yuan in this card now.
There was about 4 million in the other card, which was the money Jiang Nian had saved for two years.
The three stacks of cash totaled more than 200,000 yuan, which was the money Jiang Nian saved from selling posters and tutoring classmates.
After Jiang Nian finished counting the money, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he still had a lot of money.
Then Jiang Nian carefully put the money and cards away, locked it, put it back in place, and hid the key.
After Jiang Nian asked his mother if it was convenient for her to answer the phone, his mother called.
"Mom, how are you doing lately?"
"I'm fine. How are you? Is there anything you want?" Kotoko Oshizuka asked gently.
At this time, a child's crying sound was heard. Kotoko Oshizuka spoke a little fast, giving people a feeling of urgency.
"It's okay. Christmas is coming soon, so I'm just saying hello to you."
"Thank you, study hard. I'll buy some more materials and send them to you when I have time." Kotoko Oshizuka said quickly, "I have something to deal with now, so I won't talk anymore. Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Before Jiang Nian could utter these two words, a beep sound of hanging up came from the other end of the phone.
…
Monday afternoon.
As promised, Jiang Nian arrived near the Class C classroom of the second year of high school, waiting for Kimura Mika, and then went to the Light Music Club together.
At this time, Jiang Nian saw Niou Masaharu running out of the classroom quickly, and in a few breaths he turned into Yagyu Hiroshi.
Jiang Nian rubbed his eyes, as if seeing Niou Masaharu just now was dazzling. What a strange thing! !
Perhaps out of curiosity, Jiang Nian waved his hand to make sure he was not seeing things. He hesitated and said, "Senior Renwang? Is it Senior Renwang?"
When Niou Masaharu heard the voice calling him, he controlled his first reaction and forced his head back to the straight position, as if he had not heard it.
Seeing no response, Jiang Nian called out, "Senior Liu Sheng?"
After calling out this name, Jiang Nian saw Yagyu Hiroshi looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"Schoolmate Oqi? Is something wrong?"
After hearing the voice, Jiang Nian confirmed that it was Yagyu Hiroshi's voice, so he stopped thinking about it.
"It's okay, it's tennis practice time now. Why are you here?"
Yagyu Hiroshi's face was filled with black lines. Is this the reason why he called him?
If I hadn't been called, I might have reached the tennis court in those few minutes.
Jiang Nian also knew that his question was inappropriate, so he immediately said, "Sorry to bother you. Please leave."
Looking at Yagyu Hiroshi's back, Jiang Nian still couldn't believe that he had seen it wrong.
Jiang Nian walked to the place where Niou Masaharu turned into Yagyu Hiroshi, and searched carefully until he picked up a white hair on the ground. Jiang Nian confirmed his guess.
Changing clothes in one second, no, changing people in one second, very good.
After Kimura Mika walked out of the classroom, she saw Jiang Nian looking at his hands, wondering what he was thinking about.
"Oki, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Nian was awakened by the call and explained, "I was wondering if it would be possible for us to learn magic and then set up a magic department. You would be the director and I would be the deputy director, and then we would select the others."
Kimura Mika sighed and said, "Magic is very difficult. It requires a quick mind and quick hands and feet."
Jiang Nian was immediately dissuaded by the words "quick hands and feet" and gave up those fantastic ideas.
After being questioned by the vice-chairman of the Light Music Club, the two began to demonstrate the instruments they were good at.
Kimura Mika's guitar solo made the deputy minister immediately agree.
Jiang Nian suddenly felt a little stressed, but when he thought about the fact that he had a way out, he was no longer nervous.
After finishing playing and singing the song "Chrysanthemum Terrace", the deputy minister felt a little conflicted.
"Actually, I really like this song, but you need to work on your singing."
After hearing this, Jiang Nian knew that he had no hope of joining the club: "Okay, thank you, I won't bother you anymore."
Just before Jiang Nian was about to leave, the deputy minister stopped him in surprise: "Where are you going? Aren't you going to train on the first day?"
Jiang Nian choked up: "So, am I selected?"
The deputy minister nodded and said, "Yes, I need more practice to be able to be the lead singer."
"Me? Can my voice make me a lead singer?" Jiang Nian didn't expect that someone would recognize him.
"Well, your voice is clean, clear, and a little deep, which is very suitable for slow lyrical songs." The deputy minister said seriously, "But you need more practice."
Then, the deputy director looked at the two of them and smiled, "Formally introduce myself. My name is Onodera Na, from the third year of high school, Group B, and I'm the deputy director of the Light Music Club. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me."
Kimura Mika and Jiang Nian introduced themselves one after another.
"My name is Kimura Mika, Class C, second year of high school. Thank you for your guidance."
"My name is Wei Qi Jiang Nian, and I'm in Class A, Grade 1 of High School. Thank you for your guidance."
Onodera was a little surprised: "Oqi, are you the Oqi Jiangnian who is ranked first in age?"
Jiang Nian didn't understand Onodera's surprise: "Yes, senior. Is there any problem?"
"Nothing, I just didn't expect you to come to the Light Music Club." Onodera explained, "Students who are good at studying usually don't join clubs. They all go to private schools for tutoring. This is the first time I've seen you join a club."
Jiang Nian was puzzled: "Didn't the school director ask students to fill out their club scores? If they don't participate in the club, won't they get no scores?"
"Haha? No." Onodera chuckled, "Clubs are voluntary. For people with poor grades, club grades can improve their college admission rate, but it won't do much for you."
Jiang Nian suddenly felt that he had been cheated. All the suffering he had endured for so long was in vain.
Seeing Jiang Nian's expression was not right, Onodera said seriously: "You can't regret joining the Light Music Club, and you can't quit the club later."
"Okay." Jiang Nian, with the idea of making the best of it, wanted to study hard in the light music club.
The main reason is that I don’t want to be laughed at by Yukimura Seiichi.
