Chapter 220 Another Rejection
It was drizzling outside, and the sound of the rain was dripping.

Perhaps it was the sound of rain, as gentle as a whisper, that unknowingly calmed Fujii Itsuki's thoughts.

He looked into the girl's purple eyes for a moment, and finally chose to refuse.

"No."

".Why?"

"Xiaoyue, what are you doing so proactively today?"

"Because... the atmosphere is already here, isn't it?"

"It's too early."

"...Not early."

"It's too early."

"I said it wasn't early."

Fujii Itsuki repeated it, and Jiuhuayue followed suit. He had no intention of arguing with her childishly, so he just looked at her in silence.

The sound of rain was rustling outside the window, and Jiuhua Yue seemed to see some answers from Fujii Itsuki's eyes. Her expression gradually dimmed, and her tone was no longer as tough as before.

".Then I'm going back to my room to sleep."

"Well, let's go."

Jiu Huayue straightened her clothes, put on her shoes, and returned to her room.

Fujii Itsuki looked in the direction she left until her back disappeared at the stairs.
As soon as Jiu Huayue entered the room, she got into the quilt, curled up her body, hugged her legs, and buried her head deeply.

have no idea.
She really doesn't know
The uncle chose to refuse at this time. Is it because he has the desire but not the courage, and dares to do it but not to take responsibility?

Or does he really think this is bad for him?
Or is the uncle involved with other people, such as Xinchun?

The uncle was unwilling to agree to it because he was considering Xinchun.
Not sure.
Jiuhuayue hid in the quilt and thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

She kept breathing and trying to adjust her mentality.

This isn't a big deal, is it?
It's normal to be rejected.

I'm used to being rejected.

Although I had made sufficient preparations and thought about it for a long time before deciding to do this, it made no difference to force this idea on him. It was my own fault.
He definitely doesn't dislike himself.

After being rejected, isn't it okay to just perform better than last time?

After being rejected, as long as you perform better than before, the uncle will always see you, always...

It's okay, it's okay.
The uncle definitely didn't reject me because he was in love with me, no.

*
These days, Fujii Itsuki felt that the relationship between Xiaoyue and himself was the same as Xinchun's in those days.

I rarely talk to myself.

Xiaoyue is still more normal. If she sees that her collar is not neat or something in the morning, she will come forward to help her fix it.

But Fujii Itsuki always felt that something was not right.

I can't tell exactly what's wrong.

I always feel that Xiaoyue is hiding something deep down.

Is it because I rejected her that night?
Fujii Itsuki couldn't help but think.

After school in the afternoon, in the staff office, Fujii Itsuki lay on his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.

"Teacher Fujii, Teacher Fujii."

"Muzi, what's wrong?"

Akai Muzi frowned and said, "Why are you distracted again? Shouldn't you go to the classroom and watch the stage play they are rehearsing at this time?"

Fujii Itsuki picked up his cell phone to check the time, and it was indeed time.

He immediately stood up and prepared to get up.

"Ashu," Akai Muzi suddenly pulled him and lowered her voice, "Are you worried about something?"

"I'm worried about something? Not really. No, I guess it is a little bit."

"tell me the story?"

Muzi was someone who didn't need to hide anything from her, so Fujii Itsuki told her what happened in the past few days.

Unexpectedly, Akai Muzi fell silent after hearing this.

"Fujii, Muzi, we are leaving after get off work~~"

"Fujii, Muzi, we are leaving after get off work~~"

"great, see you tomorrow."

After all the colleagues in the office left, Fujii Itsuki confirmed with Akai Muzi again: "Is there anything wrong with what I did?"

"No, your refusal is reasonable. It's just that you can't say you're wrong about Xiaoyue. But for a girl, especially someone like Xiaoyue who no one wants to get close to, you know, she must have been mentally prepared to treat you like that before she dared to take the initiative to bring it up to you."

"It's like she confessed her love with great expectations, but was rejected at the last minute, is that what you mean?"

Akai Muzi nodded, "So, she must be a little sad, but I think the problem is definitely not that simple."

Fujii Itsuki sighed and added, "These days they have been practicing the script I gave them. Jiuhuayue is a professional stage actor, and she must have had some guesses after reading the script. After all, I invited her to be the heroine."

"Then Xiaoyue probably knows what you are thinking."

Akai Muzi seemed to have suddenly realized something, "No wonder, no wonder she suddenly asked you that, she obviously didn't need to be in a hurry."

"." Fujii Itsuki did not answer. After all, Xiao Jiuhua and Xinchun were not stupid. It was just that Xinchun saw the implied meaning of the script first, and Jiuhua Yue was one step behind.

"What has Xiaoyue been doing these past two days?"

".Rehearsing a stage play and practicing the trumpet."

“Have you been doing this all along?”

"Always." said Fujii Itsuki.

"this kid"

Akai Muzi couldn't help but say something, staring at Fujii Itsuki, her tone seemed to show some sympathy for her, "She did this just to make you look at her more, to give her more confidence and response. She wants to believe you, and is willing to believe you, as long as you go over and give her an explanation."

She is sad, right?

The scene of the first time he met Jiuhuayue suddenly appeared in Fujii Itsuki's mind.

At that time, she was wearing a white skirt and a red sweater, looking up at the sky and reaching out to touch the falling snow. The heavy snow in the sky and her white face complemented each other. She was just as white and beautiful as the snow.

At that time, Fujii Itsuki felt loneliness from her.

During the time he spent with Jiu Huayue, he could feel that the strongest bond between him and Jiu Huayue was "trust."

Giving her help and care is more like icing on the cake.

The most important thing is trust.

She wants to believe in herself and is willing to believe in herself, so she likes herself.

It has come to this point. To be honest, if possible, Fujii Itsuki would like to respond to her without reservation, just like she has no reservations and loves him wholeheartedly.
Respond to love with love, respond to all with all, this is the right thing to do, isn't it?

Akai Muzi saw Fujii Itsuki's difficulties and consoled him, "Ashu, Xinchun and Xiaoyue both have their own persistence. When you first had this idea, it was destined to be like this."

Fujii Itsuki took a deep breath.

"Muzi, do you think I should still hide something from her?"

"Definitely not. If the child is willing to believe you, he will definitely believe you."

"I'll go find her now."

"Go."

Fujii Itsuki stood up and left the office.

Walking in the corridor, many students who came home late greeted him and he responded one by one.

very strange.

Why do I suddenly have the thought that it would be better if I were not a "teacher"?

If I wasn't a "teacher", then I should be like what Jiuhuayue said to me when she held an umbrella for me that day. She doesn't need to hide her feelings for me, and I don't need to hide my feelings for her. Everything can be shown openly.

Come to the classroom.

The scene inside was no different from usual. Students moved stools, tables and chairs to the sides, and the open space in the middle was used as a rehearsal area for the stage play.

Fujii Itsuki stood in the corridor and looked inside through the window.

In the classroom, the students were busy rehearsing. Jiu Huayue stood in the middle, wearing a school uniform and looking focused.

In front of her were Matsumae Shinharu, Hiiragi Rinka and others.

It can be seen that even without props and costumes, she is still practicing the script very attentively.

But the atmosphere seemed wrong the next moment.

Jiu Huayue was not satisfied with everyone's performance and felt that the problems were too big, so she kept pointing out the problems between everyone.

In addition, Jiuhuayue usually has a strong personality in the class and her tone is cold.
It's okay to point out one or two of these issues. Although they are true, this is too much.
Sure enough, something went wrong.

".I quit."

Fujii Itsuki saw Shinozaki throw the script on the ground, pick up her backpack and walk out of the classroom, wiping tears. Several classmates who were close to her said to Jiuhua Yue, "Jiuhua, you are too much!" and quickly chased after her.

In the classroom, Matsumae Shinharu remained silent, Hiiragi Rinka was in a dilemma, and the other students looked like they didn't know what to say.

They also felt that Jiu Huayue was going a bit too far. How could one keep criticizing someone's performance?

We can’t continue rehearsing the stage play today.

Probably because Xiaozaki Yumi was crying, many neutral classmates began to speak up for Xiaozaki, whispering bad things about Jiuhuayue.
"Everyone, everyone, don't say that. Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue is the same."

Seeing the awkwardness of Jiuhuayue standing alone in the middle of the class, Hiiragi Rinka wanted to speak up for her, but her voice was too soft and she didn't have a very good relationship with everyone in the class, so it was of no use.

Jiu Huayue felt more and more embarrassed sitting alone in the middle of the classroom, and more and more people were saying bad things about her.

Seeing her gloomy expression, Matsumae Shinchun was about to use her status as class monitor to stop the voice for her.

咚咚
Fujii Itsuki knocked on the classroom door.

"Teacher Fujii."

"Teacher Fujii."

The students greeted him in unison, and Jiu Huayue also looked up at him at this time.

"Ah."

Fujii Itsuki responded and glanced at Jiuhuayue, who was the only one in the middle of the class who didn't look back.

"Let's stop here for the rehearsal. Everyone, take a break and go home early today."

Everyone looked at each other, responded to Fujii Itsuki, and then started moving tables and chairs.

Jiuhuayue did help everyone, but no one seemed to appreciate it. However, since Fujii Itsuki was here, no one said much.

"Teacher Fujii, let's go now."

"Well, see you tomorrow, and be safe on the road."

After all the other students left, only Jiuhuayue, Matsumae Xinchun, and Hiiragi Rinka were left.
Jiuhuayue lowered her head, and when she passed by Fujii Itsuki, she whispered "I'm going home" and walked out of the classroom.

After Rinka Hiiragi bowed politely to Fujii Itsuki, she quickly chased after him.

At this time, Fujii Itsuki also wanted to chase out to see what was happening to Jiuhuayue, but was stopped by Matsumae Shinchun.

"Xinchun?"

"."

Matsumae Shinchun lowered her little head and remained silent, but told him by holding the corner of his clothes.

She didn't want him to go out and chase Jiuhuayue yet
this.
A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

Fujii Itsuki tried his best to keep calm and asked the girl with the teardrop mole in a soft voice, "How about talking to Xinchun?"

"Teacher, Xiaoyue asked me to talk to her alone this morning." Matsumae Xinchun looked at him and spoke softly.

"She asked you out?"

"About what happened between us."

"What did you say?"

"Xiaoyue told me that she knows what you are thinking, teacher."

“Because I read the script.”

"Um"

"What is Xinchun thinking now?"

"."

After hearing his question, Matsumae Shinchun thought for a long time and finally shook his head, "I don't know either."

"Is it."

"Teacher, just like the story you wrote, the little sister can't forget the sea of ​​flowers her brother took her to see, and I can't forget the scenery we saw on the top of the mountain when Xiaoyue took me out of the Matsumae house when we were little. Even though you must be more important to me now, I still can't forget it."

Fujii Itsuki bent down slightly, looked into the girl's eyes, and said comfortingly, "This is normal."

"Is it normal?"

“When did the world stipulate that a person can only be touched by one person and own one important thing?”

"But I still have to choose between you and me, Xiaoyue, right?"

Matsumae Shinchun said this, as if she had thought of something, "Teacher, I have been thinking about what should happen to our relationship these days. Unless unless unless I will agree with you and Xiaoyue."

This is really hard to say, and the girl always feels that the one she loves will be taken away by someone else.

After Matsumae Shinchun finished speaking, she kept shaking her head.

"No, no"

"Don't make it hard on yourself, Xinchun, if you don't want to, then you don't want to."

"Teacher, even if I say I don't miss Xinchun, I still feel like something is wrong."

Matsumae Shinchun was obviously in deep trouble.

She is taking a deep breath.

Fujii Itsuki saw that she was not in good condition and wanted to take her to the school clinic immediately, but he did not expect that the child gradually stabilized.

"I still need to think about it."

"That's right." said Fujii Itsuki.

"Teacher, go find Xiaoyue."

"It doesn't matter?"

"Putting aside Xiaoyue's feelings for you, Teacher, Xiaoyue is your sister now. It's normal for you to want to ask her when you see her sad. And when I saw Xiaoyue being isolated, I seemed to be able to feel the sadness in her heart. I don't know where this feeling came from."

After all, you are real sisters, related by blood.

Fujii Itsuki said something more to Matsumae Shinchun, then went out to look for Jiuhuayue.

Matsumae Shinchun stayed in the classroom, at the door, watching Fujii Itsuki's back going further and further away in the corridor until it disappeared around the corner.

The girl placed her hand on her heart.

This feeling of constant uneasiness still exists.

Am I worried about Xiaoyue?

strangeness.
too weird.

It is obvious that Xiaoyue is his opponent, the hostile opponent.

But why do I——

It’s hard to say, Matsumae Shinharu is currently unable to explain everything about herself.
