Chapter 86 Undercurrent surging
The next two days.

Fujii Itsuki didn't find an opportunity to talk to Jiuhuayue again.

When she woke up in the morning, Jiuhua had already gone to school.

Jiuhua no longer daydreams during class and leaves the classroom as soon as the class is over.

Hand in homework on time and eat meals on time.

I also attend the wind band practice activities on time in the afternoon.

It was that Jiu Huayue always made mistakes when practicing with everyone, which resulted in the poor performance of her group.

Fujii Itsuki could only arrange for the trumpet group to take a break and let the other groups continue practicing. This made everyone unhappy.

As soon as Jiuhua got home, she went straight upstairs and locked herself in the room.

Even if Fujii Itsuki wanted to have a private conversation with her through the teacher-student relationship, there was no reason to meet with her alone.

Jiuhua avoided me these past few days whenever she saw me. She didn’t look angry or resentful, but the word “indifference” was written on her face.

In the past few days, Fujii Itsuki has also been thinking about the impact of his actions on Jiuhua.

He recalled what he said a few days ago.

He was sure that he was giving Jiuhua a "suggestion", urging her to think more about her future.

In fact, he still respects Jiuhua's choice, and it is up to Jiuhua herself whether to go back or not.

No matter what, he would choose to respect Jiuhua's decision.

But Jiuhua smiled bitterly that day and said, "I don't need this advice at all."

Fujii Itsuki thought about this sentence carefully.

This shows that what she most likely hates is not her own behavior of advising her, but the fact that she actually has similar thoughts to her mother.

She thought that he didn't understand her and felt sad.

"I understand."

Fujii Itsuki often leans back in his ergonomic chair in the office, looks up at the sky, closes his eyes and thinks about these two words.

What kind of understanding does Xiao Jiuhua expect in her heart?
Do I need to support her in all aspects?
Unconditional support?

No, that shouldn't be the case. This kind of thing cannot be called understanding at all.

This behavior will only lead to a dangerous psychological character called "omnipotent narcissism".

Understanding should mean putting yourself in the other person's perspective and understanding their emotions and difficulties.

Then
I spoke that day
Are we thinking too much from the perspective of our elders?

What Xiao Jiuhua hopes for is not the future at all, what she values ​​is the understanding and warmth at this moment.
So she doesn't need me to give her any advice at all.

She thought she understood her very well, but that sentence made her feel that she had "misjudged" herself.

That's why she was sad and was crying when she went up there.

However, Xiao Jiuhua’s demands are reasonable, and her mother is not completely wrong.

The two sides just have different positions and perspectives.

After thinking all this over with his eyes closed, Fujii Itsuki felt that he needed to have a more normal communication with Jiuhua, listen to her own thoughts and how she actually viewed her identity in the Takarazuka Revue.

*
On Friday, Fujii Itsuki had just finished his Chinese language class with Class B.

It was just time for lunch.

He was just about to pick up his homework and go back to the office when Yang Kui Chitose came over with a smile and said, "Teacher Fujii, let me do it~"

Fujii Itsuki nodded, said nothing, and walked out of the classroom.

Chitose Hinami followed later with her homework.

"Teacher Fujii, Teacher Fujii Itsuki~"

As soon as she arrived at the office, the girl started to act naughty while there was no one around.

"Be serious, Hinata-san."

"I'm serious!"

Yang Kui Chitose put the homework book on his desk, then asked him with a smile, "When is Brother Shu moving? I want to go over and help Brother Shu hold a super grand moving ceremony!"

Fujii Itsuki sighed in her heart. It seemed that for Chitose, the name "Brother Shu" was more comfortable for her to call him.

This girl doesn't really consider herself a teacher at all.

No.
It should be said that to her, I am a teacher who can be approached at will.

Be serious.

"Hinako-san, don't make me remind you a second time."

"Okay, Mr. Fujii."

Seeing Fujii Itsuki's stern face, Yang Kui Chitose immediately restrained her smile and lowered her head.

She was a little afraid of this tree brother, but still a little naughty.

Fujii Itsuki continued the previous topic, "Are you thinking of me moving?"

"Because, because. Tree. Didn't Mr. Fujii say it a long time ago? He had similar thoughts. And doesn't Mr. Fujii think that would have a bad influence? If someone accidentally saw it and spread some rumors, how could Mr. Fujii maintain his dream of becoming a teacher!"

"."

Yang Kui Chitose saw that Fujii Itsuki was listening and immediately added:

"Not only will Mr. Fujii's dream be gone, but Jiuhua will also be harmed. I won't be able to make up for Mr. Fujii's past regrets and step onto the national stage."

This is true.

Fujii Itsuki originally wanted to tell Jiuhua about this, but now it seems that it is still difficult to say.

Move out directly?
Fujii Itsuki's intuition told him that he couldn't do that.

He raised his head and looked at his sister who was wearing school uniform in front of him.

Chitose Yang Kui put her hands behind her back and smiled as brilliantly as a sunflower.

This girl is looking forward to moving to a place close to her and living together.

Most likely he wants to take advantage of the close distance and come over to visit every day.

Mr. Nagano wouldn't be able to say anything to her then.

It’s a great plan.

"Let's talk about the wind band practice. How is everyone doing recently?"

"The situation is excellent!" Chitose Yangkui replied immediately.

"Oh?"

Yang Kui Chitose stood straight, like a soldier undergoing a military parade:

"Last time, Mr. Fujii personally gave us individual guidance and distributed the music scores with annotations. Everyone was impressed by your diligence and is now working harder in practice!"

Fujii Itsuki held his forehead and shook his head, "Speak to me in a normal tone and stop being naughty."

"Okay." Yang Kui Chitose said in a low voice, "Everyone is very grateful to you, Mr. Fujii. Department Head Aoyama and a group of third-year seniors all spoke for you, Mr. Fujii. This is their last year, and they really want to try their best.

"The second graders knew they were in the wrong and that their laziness led to the failure of the ensemble, so they stopped being lazy."

"Ah."

In that case, the wind orchestra is in good shape.

"Everyone says that Mr. Fujii's training schedule is too full, but everyone is still looking forward to being able to perform on a big stage one day. To this end, everyone is practicing hard. Mr. Fujii has not missed any of the training you have arranged. Everyone gathers and trains on time every day."

Fujii Itsuki nodded, "What about Yang Kui-san, how are your practices going?"

"Of course I am practicing very hard every day!"

"Really?"

"Really, Mr. Fujii, can I tell you what I really think?"

Fujii Itsuki glanced at her and said, "Go ahead."

"I must be the student that Mr. Fujii has in mind. I will do my best to make Mr. Fujii understand what he thought when he was teaching. So I will definitely do my best and treat it as the most important goal in my life."

"."

I think I told the professor the same thing.

The original intention was to repay the professor and make the professor accept her existence as a student so that she would not feel lonely.

Chitose now said the same thing to herself.

On the one hand, I thought this child was a little funny, but on the other hand, I felt sorry for her and thought she was silly.

There is no one who strives for his or her ideal.

Did the professor view himself in the same way back then?
strangeness.
This kind of contribution from others is actually a burden.

He actually didn't want Qiansui to take him so seriously.
"Is Chitose free on Saturday?"

"what?"

Chitose Haruki noticed that Fujii Itsuki was calling Chitose, not Haruki-san.

Brother Shu, are you talking to yourself in your private capacity?

Brother Shu, are you going to date me on Saturday?!

When I think of this, I feel so excited that I can’t express it in words.

Win, win! It's such a win!
"when--"

But just as Yang Kui Chitose was about to agree, she suddenly thought of something, and the word "of course" got stuck in her throat.

"What's wrong? Does Chitose have anything else to do on Saturday?"

"Can I do that? On Saturday, I promised someone else a small favor, and I can't break my promise."

"You have a boyfriend?"

"No! It's just that I promised. I promised. Kokoharu-chan has moved to Otaru, and I have to go see her. It's the Kokoharu-chan in your class, Brother Shu."

"You and Matsumae got along well?" Fujii Itsuki was quite surprised.

"Yeah! We had a great time! Kokoro-chan is very polite to others. She's obviously a lady, but she doesn't put on airs at all!"

It seems that I often see Matsumae and Chitose practicing together in the backyard of the school.

It’s great that Chitose can play with Matsumae, they are both good kids.

Come to think of it, Matsumae also invited me to her house.

I'm going to go check it out on Saturday too.

"Hehe~ So what did Brother Shu want to ask me out for on Saturday~~" "I just wanted to go to your place to drink some beer and help you with your homework."

"what"

*
"Xiao Xiaoyue, have you been in a bad mood these days?"

The last two classes on Friday morning for Grade 2 Class A happened to be family basics classes.

Students will be divided into groups of four, prepare the raw materials two days in advance, and work together to cook a dish during class.

The dishes were discussed in advance within the group, with each person having one.

Two days ago, Jiu Huayue had already decided on the dishes she wanted to cook.

Jiuhuayue didn't expect that Hiiragi Rinka would talk to her at this time. It seemed that she took a long time to muster up the courage before asking her.

"Is it obvious?" she asked back, her voice cold and indifferent.

This scared Hiiragi Rinka so much that her voice became much softer. "Yes, yes. It's the same during band practice. Yue is often alone."

"I like to be alone." Jiuhuayue replied while cutting the tomatoes in her hand.

“I don’t think so”

After Hiiragi Rinka finished saying this, the atmosphere fell silent.

She felt that she might have said something wrong. She was afraid that Jiu Huayue would be angry, so she apologized quickly.

Jiuhuayue said, "No need to apologize, you didn't say anything wrong."

". Then, Xiaoyue, can you tell me the reason? I'm happy to listen to what Xiaoyue has to say."

“.”Jiuhuayue didn’t answer again.

Rinka Hiiragi was very nervous, but she didn't know what to say at this time, so she lowered her head and continued to deal with the broccoli in her hands.

She remembered when Jiuhuayue transferred here last September.

At that time, Xiaoyue was standing on the podium, facing everyone. She was very beautiful in appearance, figure, and temperament.

Girls think she is pretty.

She is also very tall. Very, very tall.

Rinka Hiiragi still remembers that she blushed the first time she saw her.

But she didn't dare to talk to ordinary classmates, let alone a girl as eye-catching as Xiaoyue.

She was just observing Xiaoyue silently.

Xiaoyue is very unique.

It has been like this since she transferred to this school. She behaves in a difficult way and her classmates are reluctant to talk to her.

It seemed that Xiaoyue was unable to find friends at school from beginning to end.

Xiaoyue likes to gaze out the window.

Hiiragi Rinka had no idea what she was looking at, but her eyes seemed to be gazing at some utopia that could never be observed.

She looked out the window. It seemed as if this window isolated her from the world.

Since then, Hiiragi Rinka has been thinking
Xiaoyue always gazes quietly into the distance. Is she always trying to break through the "window" that isolates her and reach her ideal world?
But she didn't know what Xiaoyue's ideal world was, and like most of her classmates, she didn't dare to talk to Xiaoyue.
"it is done."

".Ah.Ah?"

Rinka Hiiragi lowered her head for a long time before she realized that Jiuhuayue was talking to her.

She looked over and found that in front of Xiaoyue was a plate of food she had just prepared - scrambled eggs with strawberries.

Onions and tomatoes are added to it.

The dish of the family class is that each group helps each other, but in fact only good friends with good relationships will help each other.

Everyone has their own network of relationships.

For example, Xiaoyue, no girl would take the initiative to team up with her, and even if she did, no one would cook with her.

Because Xiaoyue is too tall and too beautiful, she stands out in front of most people who have average looks and heights.

Of course, the main reason is that Xiaoyue treats people too coldly.

Seeing that no one was willing to team up with Satsuki, Rinka Hiiragi took the initiative to join up with Kokoharu. Although Kokoharu was in the group, she didn't dare to talk to Satsuki.

"Give."

When Hiiragi Rinka saw the strawberry fried rice that Jiuhuayue pushed over, she couldn't believe it, "Is it for me?"

“Only for friends.”

While Hiiragi Rinka was moved, she noticed that Matsumae Shinchun, who was on the other side of Jiuhuayue, was looking at her.

"Is it just for me?"

"Yes." Jiuhuayue replied.

Matsumae Shinharu lowered her head with a gloomy expression and busy herself with her dishes.

Hiiragi Rinka felt very sad and wanted to try to ease the relationship between the two, "How about giving Xinchun-chan a taste as well?"

Jiuhuayue looked back at Matsumae Shinchun.

"Rinka, do you want to let Matsumae-san try it too?"

"Yes, Xiaoyue, you won't mind, right?"

"If that's what you want, I don't mind."

"Me! I'll get a plate!"

Rinka Hiiragi immediately went to the home studies teacher and asked her for a new plate. She took it back and asked Jiuhuayue to pack another portion and gave it to Matsumae Shinchun.

Matsumae Shinchun was touched to see Jiuhuayue willing to give her the dish she cooked. She happily took it.

"Thank you, Xiaoyue."

"You're welcome." Jiuhuayue's tone remained the same.

Seeing this scene, Rinka Hiiragi was very happy in the back.

She placed her ten fingertips together in front of her chest and smiled involuntarily.

This should be the first step to get Xinchun and Xiaoyue back to their childhood sweetheart status!
She really hopes that Xinchun and Xiaoyue can reconcile.

Both of them are very good people!
The homework of home cooking needs to be tasted and graded by the teacher after class, and letting good friends taste the food is also a way to verify this in advance.

5 points, 5 is the maximum score.

Rinka Hiiragi and Shinharu Matsumae ate Kyuukazuki's strawberry scrambled eggs at the same time.

"How?" she asked.

"."

"."

Hiiragi Rinka and Matsumae Shinharu both froze in place.

"Isn't it delicious?"

Jiuhuayue said this and took another bite with her chopsticks, putting the strawberry and egg together and putting them into her mouth.

She nodded. "Very good."

"What do you think?" Jiu Huayue asked the two again.

"."

"."

The two remained silent, not even daring to pick up their chopsticks a second time.

After the course, Jiuhuayue remained silent, holding her score of 2 points.

Originally it should have been 1 point, but the young home studies teacher said that she was innovative and courageous, and the appearance of the dish of scrambled eggs with strawberries looked pretty good, so she added 1 point.

Jiuhuayue wanted to ask the teacher if he had made a mistake and wanted the teacher to eat it again.

"This"

"I think you must be mistaken, teacher. I think it tastes delicious."

The home study teacher looked embarrassed, "Then may I ask Jiuhua, besides you, who else thinks it's delicious?"

Jiuhuayue looked back at Hiiragi Rinka and Matsumae Shinchun.

The two of them obviously wanted to say something, but they had no choice but to smile bitterly in front of the teacher.

The home studies teacher was also laughing like this, "Please don't embarrass your friends, Jiuhua. Who else thinks it tastes good?"

"Who thinks it tastes good? Of course it's the rattan—"

Jiuhuayue answered subconsciously, but suddenly fell silent, as if she understood something.

"Kuka-san?"

".No, nothing."

"I'm really sorry, Jiuhua-san, the teacher wants to give you more points, but the teacher also has--"

"It's okay," Jiu Huayue bowed her head and saluted, "I understand, teacher. I accept this score."

The homeschool teacher heaved a sigh of relief, feeling relieved that she didn't have to eat that one bite of strawberry scrambled eggs, "That's good."

After class it was lunch time. Jiuhuayue knew that Hiiragi Rinka and Matsumae Shinchun wanted to come over and say something to her, but she refused them directly.

She just wanted to figure out one thing now.

That is how the uncle evaluated the strawberry scrambled eggs he made.

If he also thought that thing was unpalatable, why didn't he tell me?

So the uncle has actually always been caring for me?

If he answered that it was delicious because he cared about what I thought, why did he say the same thing to me as he did to my mother that day?

Didn't the mother say that to herself just to satisfy her own selfish desires?
Why should he help his mother to persuade her?

Jiuhuayue couldn’t understand it, she couldn’t understand it at all.

The girl walked across the overpass of Moon Building and quickly came to the door of Fujii Itsuki's office.

After a while, just when she was about to knock on the door, she heard the sound of a conversation coming from inside. It was Yang Kui Qiansui who was talking - "When is Brother Shu moving? I want to go over and help Brother Shu hold a super~~grand moving ceremony!"

Jiuhuayue lowered her hand that was about to knock on the door.

She didn't know why Chitose Yang Kui was here at this time.

But. Was this intentional?
