Chapter 68 Lucky
The sunset glow piled up on the horizon like a dying red candle. Tired birds tore the clouds in the sky into pieces and flew away with the cheers of the crowd.
The street lights came on one after another, and a layer of white frost formed on the ground, but it could not disperse the crowded crowd. It was said that the school invited a famous band in Tokyo to entertain people. The powerful rock music almost shattered people's eardrums. The playground was crowded with students shaking their heads and shouting and cheering, just like a concert.
As the concert began, most people began to crowd into the playground. The food street that was bustling during the day was now only occupied by a few people, and most people began to pack up their stalls and go home.
"Analysis of today's battle results shows that we have consumed 20 kilograms of food, 58% of which are..." Gan stood aside, staring at the notebook and muttering to himself. Yuan came over to peek in, pretending to help with the data.
"Hey, A-gan is really partial~" Kikumaru glanced at the notebook that was closed just when he approached it, showing a contemptuous expression, "Why can Yuan see it but I can't?"
"Kikumaru, you must have seen it wrong." Gan adjusted his glasses, and Yuan beside him turned away guiltily.
"I'm sure I'm not seeing things!" Kikumaru pointed at them and yelled.
"Eiji, stop talking," Oishi whispered, "Gen is different for Akan..." Noticing the sudden silence, Oishi choked and quickly changed the subject, "I mean, this is Akan's own thing..."
"Dashi~~"
Fengjian chuckled. Compared to the lively and unusual atmosphere over there, the place where people were moving things seemed much quieter.
"Senior Gan and Yuan are being too obvious." Taocheng muttered softly.
Kazama wiped the grill clean and said with a smile: "I think Eiji-senpai is really good at acting like a spoiled child. If he does this to his girlfriend in the future, I believe no girl would refuse such a cute boy."
Tao Cheng was startled and jumped a few meters away, "Kazama, could it be that you like this kind of cute boy?"
"It's just a comparison," Feng Jian said without looking up, "After all, who doesn't like cute boys? Oh, I'm not talking about the kind of love between men and women, just the love between friends."
"I was scared to death." Taocheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Jian glanced at him and asked, "Why are you relaxing?"
He scratched the back of his head. "It's nothing, but it's really bad if you like that kind of cute boy, Kazama."
"What's so bad?" Fengjian was a little confused, but saw Taocheng put the wooden box aside and ran away in a hurry like a mouse seeing a cat the next second.
“This guy…”
Before he finished speaking, another shadow appeared at his feet, carrying the other person's calm voice, "Do you need help?"
Kazama turned around and saw Tezuka standing in front of him. The boy's chestnut hair was shining with a warm luster under the street light.
"Ah... okay, thank you Tezuka-senpai, but there are still so many things, let's call the others to come together..." Kazama turned around and found that the place was empty. The others who were fighting just now seemed to have disappeared.
“…”
Behind the building not far away.
"Isn't it a bad idea for us to move all their things for them?" Dashi said with a worried look on his face.
"Don't worry, Oishi, they will be fine, and Tezuka is here." Kikumaru put his head on top of him.
"Yes, Senior Oishi, just relax. This is the best opportunity for the two of them to warm up. If you miss it, it will be gone." Yuan said calmly, and put his hand on Oishi's shoulder and patted him like a good friend.
"There's an 85% chance that there will still be no progress between the two of them tonight."
Gan calmly bumped into a big rock, and the hand on his shoulder fell off. Yuan was still unconscious. He put his other hand on Momoshiro's shoulder and excitedly discussed Kazama's affairs with him.
He choked, adjusted his glasses, and said nothing.
"That sounds interesting. I didn't expect everyone to know about Tezuka and Kazama." Fuji poked his head out from between Inui and Kazama, then turned to look at Inui with a smile. "Right, Inui. I didn't expect someone like Tezuka would have a girl he likes."
"It's not surprising at all that Tezuka has someone he likes." Gan adjusted his glasses calmly.
Fuji's smile deepened, "Since Tezuka has a girl he likes, then what about you?"
"The girl that Agan likes," Kawamura came over blankly, "Does Agan also have someone he likes?"
"Senior Kawamura, you don't even know this. The person Senior Gan likes is actually... um..." Momoshiro was about to say something when someone covered his mouth with his hand. The rest of the words were stuck in his throat and turned into a whimpering sound.
"Hiss~"
"Taocheng, since you ate too much today, give me a cup of enhanced dry juice to help you digest." The corners of his mouth curved into a strange arc, revealing a row of neat teeth. "It's the latest version."
Momoshiro swallowed and struggled to break free from Gan's clutches, but was grabbed by the back of the collar by Kikumaru and pulled back.
"A Tao, I also think you ate a little too much today, don't try to run away--"
"You guys—I don't want to eat—"
The bird perched on the tree branch flapped its wings and flew away, carrying the boy's wails far away.
"These guys are so mean. They actually ran away." Fengjian went upstairs carrying a light box with an angry look on her face. If she caught Taocheng, she would definitely blackmail him.
She caught a glimpse of Tezuka carrying a heavier box, and she quickly ran over, "Senior Tezuka, your hand injury hasn't healed yet, why don't you let me carry it?"
"No problem."
He shook his head. "My hand injury has healed."
"real"
Tezuka turned around, met her suspicious gaze, and nodded calmly, "Really."
"That's good."
She seemed to let out a long sigh and walked side by side with him. The voice-controlled lights above their heads lengthened their figures.
Kazama was staring at the straight shadows behind the two of them and quietly hooked his little finger, which collided with the other person's hand shadow. Suddenly, Tezuka's voice broke the silence beside him.
"How's the matter with your friend going?"
Kazama turned around and her eyes suddenly met Tezuka's. She quickly pulled her hand back guiltily, cleared her throat and nodded, "It's okay, that..."
She coughed lightly, glanced at his face secretly, and continued, "Senior is right. I shouldn't give up my dream. I should learn from them and persevere no matter how difficult it is."
Tezuka pursed his lips and curved them slightly, "Yeah."
The two of them went back and forth several times before they finished moving all the things.
The night outside the window was as dark as the deep sea. The cheers from the playground were blown in by the wind, and only a faint light shone through the curtains onto the ground.
Kazama wiped the sweat from his forehead, and saw Tezuka, who was still dressed coolly. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Is there anything you want to eat, Tezuka-senpai? I'll treat you later."
Afraid that he would refuse, Feng Jian added before he could open his mouth, "You can't just say you don't want anything. Just consider it a small compensation for helping me tonight."
Tezuka was silent for a few seconds, then adjusted his glasses and asked, "Would you like to go to the library together next week?"
"Ah... OK, OK." Feng Jian was a little confused by the other party's quick change of topic, so he listened to him continue: "I heard that the orange egg tarts at the place where we had ice cream cones last time were very good. Do you want to go try them together?"
Feng Jian was startled, surprise filled his eyes, and he agreed heavily.
It wasn't "I don't need it" or "Okay", but rather "Do you want to go together?", as if there was some secret tacit understanding between the two of them that only they knew.
With a "bang", huge fireworks exploded, illuminating the inky black classroom.
"The fireworks are starting!" Fengjian ran to the corridor, put his hands on the railing and looked into the distance.
Tezuka stood beside her and whispered, "Very beautiful."
Fengjian looked up at the gorgeous fireworks, a little dazed.
At this moment, she seemed to see the shadow of her previous life through those tiny spots of light.
It was late autumn with heavy frost, and it was the same school festival, but it was not as happy as it is now.
She also refused the essay competition at that time, but the only change was that she did not participate in the end and Asagiri did not come back.
Is this a new life, so everything has changed?
Or is it because I met them that everything is different?
"What are you thinking about?"
The wind blew through her chestnut hair, brushing against her shoulders lightly, and their shadows were reflected on the wall without a single gap.
She held her chin with both hands and deliberately drew out her tone, "I'm thinking..."
"I'm so lucky to have met you guys, Tezuka-senpai."
There is nothing more fortunate than being able to complete the unfulfilled dream in my previous life with them.
She turned to look at him, her face radiant with energy, her long, shiny black hair flying out, revealing a pair of eyes as bright as obsidian, like the stars in a summer night.
The embers were as brilliant as a meteor streaking across the night sky, illuminating the flash of warmth in his deep eyes, fleeting but brilliant as fireworks.
He looked at her, his lips touching each other slightly, the tail sound dissipated in the last embers of the fireworks, but when she showed a questioning expression, he shook his head slightly and said only:
“The fireworks are beautiful.”
