The spring nights are very quiet, with an occasional breeze blowing on your face, mixed with the fragrance of cherry blossoms.
The soft moonlight pours down on the world plunged into darkness. It’s not even summer yet, but the representative creatures chasing light – small flying insects – gather under the dim streetlights.
Fujiwara Yu did not choose to walk with Morofushi Kagemitsu and others, but walked alone in the opposite direction. He passed by the playground in the night and could hear the sound of students fighting in some training ground.
He strolled back to the dormitory building slowly. Instead of rushing upstairs, he chose to turn left and come to the public rest area where several pay phones were placed.
Fujiwara Yuu knew that the fewest people used the phone at this time, and most people had no need to make calls. They would rather save their coins and go to the school store to buy an extra serving of the most popular fried noodles and bread.
He reached out and put in a few ten-yen coins, then quickly dialed Saito Akemi's cell phone number. The busy tone in the receiver made him feel happy, and he even looked forward to her voice.
"Hello? Is this Fujiwara-kun?"
Hearing this, Fujiwara Yuu's brows couldn't help but raise in a happy arc, and the wrinkles on his forehead that were originally non-existent were forced to appear a little bit. He put one hand in his pocket, half-leaned against the wall, and smiled:
"Yes, it's me. I'm sorry I didn't reply to the previous text message. Something happened yesterday that caused me to get back to school a little late. I was afraid you'd already rested, so I decided to call you today."
Miyano Akemi listened to Fujiwara Yu's serious explanation of why he didn't reply to the message. She actually knew it very well in her heart. After all, he was a future police officer, so it was normal for him to be busy and have no time to reply.
But she would feel more satisfied if she could hear his explanation - because his explanation meant that he cared about her, didn't it? Only when he cared would he explain.
"Fujiwara-kun, you don't have to apologize to me. Today's training must be very tiring, right?" Miyano Akemi asked. Facing a police academy that she had never been to, she was still curious about the difference between life in an ordinary school and that in a normal school.
"Fortunately, it wasn't too tiring. The instructors gave us time to adapt, so the physical training at the beginning was relatively basic and within our tolerable range."
The rest of the conversation was mostly Q&A until the topic suddenly turned to food.
"Fujiwara-kun, do you have any favorite desserts? I can learn how to make them for you next time."
Dessert? Fujiwara Yuu thought of the Sendai specialty Kikufuku's edamame and cream daifuku, which he had loved in his past life. Now, he couldn't go to Sendai to eat it. Furthermore, in the days before the internet, there was no such thing as lazy yet incredibly convenient online shopping.
"Edamame mashed with whipped cream daifuku, can you make it?"
There was a hint of anticipation in his tone, because he really approved of Saito Masami's improved hot lemon pudding cake, so he felt that the edamame and cream daifuku she made would definitely taste good.
"Edamame paste? If I remember correctly, it's a specialty of Sendai. Since you like it, Fujiwara-kun, I'll try to make it. I'll bring it to you next time we meet!"
After chatting for a few more sentences, Fujiwara Yu chose to end the conversation even though he felt a little reluctant, because he didn't want to disturb Saito Masami's rest time. The study life of high school students is busy, and they must have enough sleep to better devote themselves to the next day's study.
After Fujiwara Yu hung up the phone, he turned around and felt the light in front of him suddenly dim. When he looked up, he found that the person standing in front of him was Date Ko, who was over 1.9 meters tall.
"Hey, Fujiwara, are you calling your family?" Date Kou asked with a hearty smile.
Feeling a little guilty, Fujiwara Yu touched the tip of his nose and nodded.
"Well, is the squad leader also planning to call his family?"
"No, I want to call my girlfriend."
Ida Kou answered subconsciously with an embarrassed expression. He scratched the back of his head and then remembered that Natalie had told him to wait until he met her parents before telling anyone else... Well, it shouldn't be a problem to only tell Fujiwara, who isn't very gossipy.
However, class monitor Ida didn't know that what he said had a huge "shock" to a classmate who didn't gossip.
girlfriend?
Fujiwara Yuu's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this word. He had always assumed that the people he was closest to were all bachelors, but he never imagined there would be a traitor among the six of them?!
Moreover, in his perception, he always felt that the class monitor was the one least likely to be single - the reason was that the class monitor was never very active on the topic of love, and he thought that he had no interest in love at all.
Date Kou noticed Fujiwara Yuu's shocked expression, smiled, patted him on the back and said:
"It's very rude of you to just stand there like that. Do you think I can't have a girlfriend because I'm a bit of a rough guy?"
Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Yuu quickly waved his hands and said:
"No, it's just a little..."
A little envious.
But I can't say such words out loud. If I say them, I will feel embarrassed to meet her. If I meet her secretly with a purpose, I will appear to be very cunning.
As someone who had experienced this, Date Ko naturally understood what Fujiwara hadn't said. He smiled, reached out and patted Fujiwara's shoulders twice, and said leisurely:
"Fujiwara, some questions require courage to ask the other party in order to get the answer. Come on, you are only twenty years old and shouldn't have too many concerns."
Shouldn't a twenty-year-old have concerns? Perhaps the monitor is right.
However, Fujiwara Yu still hasn't figured out whether he likes Saito Masami. It's because he has never experienced what it feels like to be in love, either in his past life or this life.
