Her high ponytail swayed gently as she turned around, her white shoes and socks gleaming brightly in the sunlight, and her dimples looked especially adorable with her smile.
You rubbed your eyes, feeling your heart pounding.
At that time, the flowers and plants outside the window grew wildly, and the originally noisy cicada chirping in summer sounded so beautiful to you. You subconsciously took a light sniff, as if you could smell the warm scent that belonged only to the sun.
But years later, you can't remember any of that. You only remember how fast your heart was beating that day, and the way you looked at each other, as if that was eternity.
……
But who was it that made your heart flutter that day – her or him?
still--
Where is the light from that day?
……
Because she hadn't brought a speech, Su Qing spent the entire time looking at the huge crowd, a dense mass of people, making it almost impossible to tell who was who.
However, he could still see some familiar faces from the school, who happened to be sitting in the first row or the first few rows.
As Yui chewed on the candy he gave her, she cheered herself on, her eyes revealing undisguised excitement.
Hachiman and Saika didn't make many moves, but they stayed in sight the whole time;
After sensing his gaze, Yukino hesitated for a moment before quickly nodding, presumably as a way of encouraging herself.
Shiina was also sitting in the front row, quietly watching her with a gentle smile. However, Su Qing could still vaguely sense that Shiina was nervous for her, to the point that her body was a little stiff.
Su Qing glanced at the group and then suddenly burst out laughing. Because of the microphone, the sound was very loud, loud enough for people in the back to hear.
Everyone was stunned. Had they burst out laughing?
Su Qing still had a faint smile on her face.
He suddenly realized that he had been in this world for more than a month.
I have a feeling that a lot has happened, and everything seems to have changed.
Afterwards, his mood became increasingly cheerful, and his smile became even brighter.
Because the lecture hall was backlit, all the lights in the hall were on. However, for some reason, even though it was the same light, when it shone on the faces of the people on the stage, the people in the audience felt that the stage lights were softer and brighter.
Just then, the speech was drawing to a close. Then, everyone heard that familiar voice again, still magnetic, deep yet youthful.
"Gentlemen, learning is certainly important. For countless ordinary people, it is the most important and simplest path, but it is not the only way out."
Therefore, there is no need to worry, no need to belittle yourself, and no need to bury yourself in work all day long and ignore everything else.
When you're feeling confused, try looking up at the scenery around you; you might be surprised by what you find.
Finally, I wish you all to find what you truly desire.
That concludes my speech. Thank you everyone.
"it is good!"
Someone shouted out, and everyone echoed their sentiments. The crowd was deeply moved by the words. In an instant, applause erupted from the audience, and the commendation ceremony of Zongwu High School came to a close amidst this final applause.
"Ahhh, Caiyu, I told you he was super handsome! Did you hear what he said at the end? He improvised it all on the spot! You'd never hear anything like that in a prepared speech. I hereby announce that I'm starting a fan club for Su Qing, and it'll be called—Su Men! Caiyu, did you hear that?"
The girl shook the iridescent feather beside her vigorously, but the other simply watched Su Qing walk off the stage, only smiling after returning to her original position.
"Then I'll be the president of this fan club!"
"Nani?!"
……
Chapter 102 Let's start by holding hands.
It’s sunny on Saturday.
The day has come when I promised to take the angel out to play.
Normally, when you make an appointment to go out with someone, you should choose a suitable meeting time and place in advance, but this does not apply to Su Qing and Shiina.
Since the two lived next door, Shiina had already arrived at Su Qing's house and was waiting for Su Qing to go out together.
"Why are you here so early? Shouldn't it usually be the man waiting for the woman? This makes me feel embarrassed."
Actually, it wasn't early at this time. Su Qing was just surprised by how quickly the other person had left. He had heard that many women needed more than half an hour to prepare before going out.
"Actually, I had prepared in advance, so you don't need to worry about it too much. After all, I came to your house without permission, so it's more like I'm the one who disturbed you."
Shiina curled up, one hand unconsciously covering his chest, appearing somewhat tense and uneasy.
"Well, laugh if you want to."
"Why do you say that suddenly?"
"That's right, it's just a trip to have fun, but I'm acting so excited..."
"only?"
"...No, it's not what you think. On the contrary, I value this trip very much!"
Even without Shiina saying it, Su Qing could tell.
For convenience, Shiina braided her long flaxen hair into a bun. Of course, Su Qing had seen this hairstyle before when cooking in the kitchen, but today it had obviously been combed and braided more carefully.
It's worth mentioning that Shiina's clothing today was a bit more revealing than usual. Although this description may be somewhat subtle, the fact is that she was wearing a light chiffon blouse with a wide neckline.
The style of this shirt cleverly showcased her neckline, making her fair, jade-like skin even more dazzling against the backdrop of the wide neckline.
The sleeve design is also noteworthy; the shape of the lantern sleeves complements the side slits, subtly revealing the upper arm silhouette beneath the openwork lace, adding a touch of mysterious and alluring charm.
As for her lower body, Shiina chose a pair of flared pants, which not only accentuated her figure but also gave her a unique sense of style.
In short, Su Qing, who was used to seeing Shiina in her home clothes or school uniform, found her outfit today quite novel.
"Um, am I dressed strangely today?"
Feeling a hint of joy at Su Qing's undisguised gaze, Shiina was still mostly filled with shyness.
"No, it's because you're dressed so beautifully today that I couldn't help but look at you for a while longer."
Su Qing explained with a smile, then quickly looked away, no longer acting as before. This relieved Shiina, and the hand that had been covering her chest fell to her sides.
The truth is: when Su Qing first saw Shiina's outfit today, her breath caught in her throat for a moment, and she couldn't help but want to admire it a few more times.
So it's not just about novelty.
"Thanks……"
Upon hearing Su Qing's straightforward praise, Shiina blushed slightly and hugged her bag tightly.
And how could she not find Su Qing particularly charming today?
Although Su Qing's attire wasn't particularly formal—a white V-neck top paired with a denim jacket and black slim-fit trousers—it was actually quite casual.
But the two were just going out for fun, and given Su Qing's appearance and figure, it wouldn't be surprising if she were mistaken for a model on the street.
Furthermore, some people, simply by standing there quietly, without needing elaborate makeup or expensive clothes, are enough to firmly capture someone's attention...
"Your hair?"
"I used a little hair wax to style it, it should look pretty good, right?"
Unlike the last walk with Yui, I always try to dress up more elegantly when going out.
Of course, for most boys, the highest level of etiquette is probably just washing their hair, but Su Qing knows a little about hair care methods and techniques, which doesn't take much time, so she tidied it up a bit.
"that……"
"Ok?"
Shiina hesitated and didn't say anything, which made Su Qing wonder if her hair styling skills had deteriorated, or if she had even pulled out some terrible afro, causing Shiina to want to remind her but not know how to say it.
So he took a few steps forward, came up to Shiina, and said with a smile:
"It's been a while since I've done this, so I might be a little rusty. It's okay, just tell me. But you might have to wait a little while longer."
"Anyway, could you squat down a little bit first?"
Huh? Why are you making me squat down again...?
Despite her doubts, Su Qing did as instructed. What followed was a warm breath and a shy compliment from the young girl:
"Um, I think you look really handsome today..."
Shiina spoke very quickly, but Su Qing could still hear her clearly. In fact, Su Qing felt that Shiina's words did not travel through the air to his ears and then form an auditory sensation in his brain.
If I had to say...
It was more like a medium that ignored everything and struck Su Qing's heart directly. Sometimes Su Qing would wonder if her heart could understand the meaning behind Shiina's words, otherwise why was her heart beating several beats faster now?
But this conclusion was quickly overturned.
Because, as Shiina tiptoed and used one hand to cover her pink lips as if concealing the shyness between a young girl's brows, before she could even exhale that warm breath, Su Qing's heartbeat had already lost its usual rhythm.
"I... I'll wait for you outside... You don't need to rush."
After saying that, Shiina hurriedly left. Judging from his manner, one might mistake him for a carrot that had stumbled into a little white rabbit's house and was running away in a panic.
Only after hearing the door close did Su Qing regain her breathing rhythm.
Su Qing reached out and touched her still slightly itchy ear, a wry smile on her face.
After living for more than 20 years, I finally realized that the ears are his sensitive spot, but that's not necessarily true.
But in any case, we can't let Shiina continue like this today.
Because this is very bad for the heart.
That's how it is for him;
The same goes for Shiina.
……
"So, we're just going to hang out in this shopping plaza today?"
"If you put it that way, that's fine. But are you a little disappointed?"
The two are currently in a bustling commercial plaza near a residential area. The plaza offers a wide variety of goods, from daily necessities and everyday items to all kinds of clothing, cosmetics and accessories, greatly satisfying their shopping needs.
Naturally, various restaurants are also indispensable.
In addition, the basement level of the shopping plaza is equipped with a full range of arcade games and other related facilities for guests' entertainment.
"How could that be? On the contrary, I'm a little excited because it's actually my first time here too."
But where should we begin our shopping?
Faced with a dazzling array of shops, Shiina was at a loss for what to do. She didn't seem to have anything she particularly wanted to buy or needed recently.
"what."
Shiina gasped as a scantily clad girl bumped into her while looking at her phone instead of looking ahead. Fortunately, Su Qing was nearby and caught her in time.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, are you alright? I was just on my phone asking a friend why they hadn't arrived yet, and I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. I'm really sorry."
When the girl saw that Shiina had almost fallen because of her, she quickly expressed her concern.
"I'm fine, but there are quite a few people here, so you should still be careful ahead."
Shiina shook her head and said softly.
"Oh, I really feel bad about that. How about these two coffee vouchers as compensation? They're free and have no minimum purchase requirement, so please feel free to use them."
"and many more……"
"Please accept it! Otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight! Besides, after playing all that fun, wouldn't it be great to spend a pleasant afternoon tea time with my boyfriend?"
The other person didn't give Shiina a chance to speak, but took out two coupons from their pocket, stuffed them into Shiina's hand, said goodbye, and left.
"This……"
Shiina watched the other person's departing figure, clutching two tickets in her hand as she looked at Su Qing.
"Take it. Consider it a good deed so the other person can get a good night's sleep tonight."
While relieved that Shiina wasn't injured, Su Qing also found her quite interesting. Ignoring the misunderstanding of her using the word "boyfriend," she carefully put away the coffee coupon for Shiina, then extended a hand and softly chuckled:
"As for where to go first, I think, to avoid the situation we just had, let's start by holding hands?"
