Chapter 26 The Mermaid's Joy (1)
1
At night, Masako slept with Duan Yisha. In the quiet room, the girl choked with sobs, and lay her pillow on the lap of Masako, who could be said to be a stranger, and confessed her grievances.

"Twice. He has made this mistake twice. I am so devoted to him. In the end, I ended up in this embarrassing end. He is a fool."

"Ah."

Masako responded softly, stroking the girl's hair.

"When my brother told me that he was not suitable for me, I didn't listen. When he made a mistake for the first time, my brother solved those bad things. When he made a mistake for the second time, it was my brother who solved it again, but the second time That's my best friend, how could that bastard..."

"You still have your brother." Masako looked down at her, "He loves you very much."

"You don't understand this kind of pain..." Duan Yisha's eyes were red, she became hoarse as she spoke, she turned around and buried herself in the quilt.

The bedroom gradually fell silent.

Masako closed the door gently, walked into the living room, the TV was on, Duan Yousi sat on the sofa thinking, Masako sat beside him.

"She was tired from crying and fell asleep." She leaned on his shoulder and said softly.

He nodded and said nothing.

But Masako felt his silent sigh.

Late at night, the moonlight shines into the living room.

The bedroom door opened slightly, and Duan Yisha, who was wrapped in a dark coat, came out, passed the living room, took out a bag of small minced meat, threw some into the water tank where the tortoise was kept, and walked back to the living room, He took out an envelope from his pocket and put it on the tea table, staring at the sleeping person on the sofa.

The moonlight shone on her smoky face, like a night elf.

After seeing her farewell, she turned and walked towards the door, pulled up the prepared suitcase, put on the hat of the coat, and opened the door of the apartment.

With a "bang", it was simply closed.

The moonlight overflowed, and on the corner of the envelope, a line of words was dark and powerful.

I, Duan Yisha, will be back.

a week later.

It was very cool in autumn, and students were playing around in the corridor of the second-grade teaching building, and Lu Jianer's voice was extremely loud.

"Masako! Masako!"

Masako turned her head in the crowd, watching Lu Jian'er suddenly jump in front of her.

"Did you know, Masako?" Lu Jian'er seemed very excited, and took her hand, "The new transfer student is so beautiful, she has the same temperament as Masako! It's the one that Guan Xinyu didn't make it last time." An exchange student from a French school! He just happens to be an Asian!"

The school bell rang.

There was the sound of tables and chairs rubbing against the floor in the classroom.

Yang Xin propped his head and stared at the podium with interest, while Yi Xialing shook his head and folded his arms, yawning.

"She is Fanzhi, an exchange student from Tees High School in France." The head teacher looked down at her file carefully, and praised, "A very excellent student..."

While the girls in the audience were whispering, Masako turned the pen, thinking about the value range of the last question on the test paper.

"It seems that our class is bound to become a top class!" The head teacher concluded with a sentence, raised his head, and his eyes fell on the girl, Yu Qi, and Masako in turn, "The top three are in our class!"

"I hope that in the next semester, I can get along with all my classmates happily."

The girl said, her tone tended to be more active, her soft and soft voice made Yang Xin's heart itch, and she followed with a smirk.

Yi Xialing yawned again, and turned her gaze to Masako.

Masako has been working on the topic, without raising her head from the beginning to the end.

"Then Fanzhi... you can take the seat behind Mo Yazi. You are both transfer students who have just arrived, so you must have a lot of common topics."

The girl nodded and walked towards Masako.

She is still reading the topic.

The girl paused for a second when she passed by her desk, Masako's pen was slowly turning in her hand, Yang Xin raised his head, Yi Xialing supported his head, and Lu Jian'er looked up curiously.

"From one to positive infinity." The girl's voice suddenly sounded.

The pen stopped between her fingers, and Masako raised her head.

Under the sun, the girl's black hair reached her waist, her skin was fine and white, her pupils were hazel, and the corners of her polished lips evoked a slight smile. She nodded to Masako and said, "I did this question last night, so the answer I blurted it out, sorry, did it disturb your thinking?"

"No." Masako responded lightly, and the pen holder twirled between her fingers again, "One to positive infinity is the standard answer, but I have doubts about it, so I recalculated." She said, writing at the end of the test paper , "I think it should be zero to positive infinity."

Yu Qi in the front row flipped out the test paper sensitively, and his eyes fell on the last question. After a few seconds of silence, he turned his head, looked at Mo Yazi, and adjusted his glasses: "That's right, from zero to plus infinity."

"Haha!" The head teacher laughed heartily, "The learning atmosphere is very strong! Good thing! Good thing!"

The girl also smiled, stretched out her hand to Masako, and said, "You are amazing, my name is Fanzhi, please take care of me from now on."

Masako held her hand together and shook it slightly: "My name is Mo Yazi."

At noon, the school cafeteria was full of people.

"The cafeteria at your school is beautiful."

Fanzhi sat opposite Masako, with his hands on the edge of the table, looking around the sunny restaurant, with black hair on his shoulders, tall and charming.

"Yeah, our school's cafeteria is super famous, and that's how I introduced Masako when she first came here!" Lu Jian'er looked very excited, tapping the rim of the cup with a spoon from time to time, "I really can't think of just two Within a month, I became good friends with two beauties!"

Fanzhi smiled and said, "Since the teacher put me behind you, it means that you are the best people in the class."

Lu Jianer nodded in agreement, Masako kept her head down and stirred the coffee in the cup, keeping quiet.

Under the sun, the scene of two girls sitting face to face by the glass window attracted the attention of countless people, and sometimes the sound of a mobile phone camera ringing.

Fanzhi looked towards the source of the sound, the junior put away the phone and smiled sheepishly.

"The boys at your school are so interesting."

"Huh?" Lu Jian'er looked at her.

"Especially your squad leader." Fanzhi raised his chin with his hand, "He looks serious, old-fashioned and cute."

"Oh, he's always been like that!"

Masako didn't talk much, and it was Lu Jianer who was enlivening the atmosphere throughout the whole process, until the wind chimes at the restaurant's door rang, and the arrival of a group of students gradually affected the surrounding aura.

The noon sun was very bright, Fan Zhi looked over Lu Jian'er, and there was a gleam of light in his eyes.

"Who is he?"

If the memory is fast enough, this scene can immediately overlap with the scene when Masako first came to Grai.

Lu Jian'er followed her line of sight in bewilderment, Masako also turned her head, Duan Yousi just walked into the restaurant lazily, Wan Ye's figure chatting with the boy passed by his side, An Qiyan walked beside him behind.He walks leisurely, with cuffs rolled up to his arms, always so handsome and good-looking.

"Uh..." Lu Jian'er turned her head and struggled to organize her words, "Well...he is a character you will often hear about from now on..."

"Why?" Fanzhi asked, his eyes still fixed there.

Duan Yousi happened to stop. Because of the sudden call, he looked down at his phone and patted An Qiyan on the back.An Qiyan left first, and he stopped where he was talking on the phone.

"He is very good-looking, and he is very majestic and aura!" Lu Jianer glanced in Masako's direction while talking.

She took a sip of coffee, looking like she had nothing to do with herself.

"That is to say, he is the master of this school?" Fanzhi finally looked back at Masako.

Masako met her eyes calmly, and said softly, "I don't understand."

Fanzhi smiled, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, then picked up the coffee in front of Lu Jianer, and asked, "Do you need a refill?"

"Huh? Thank you..."

Masako watched Fanzhi pick up the coffee cup and walked in the direction of Duan Yousi, her footsteps were extremely brisk, and the sun jumped all the way. lightly.

After refilling her coffee, she turned around and passed in front of him again.This time, they didn't have eye contact, she walked towards Masako, he walked towards An Qiyan, passing each other.

At that time, Masako's mobile phone rang a text message notification tone, and a halo covered the screen, and the three words "Duan Yousi" in the column of the sender were clearly visible.

"Come to the terrace of the laboratory building during lunch break."

The distant lunch break bell echoed in the campus, and Masako walked up the stairs step by step. In the cold sunlight, Duan Yousi leaned on the side of the terrace, folding a sky-blue paper crane between his fingers, skillfully.

"What is it?" Masako asked.

His attention shifted from the paper crane to her, and after staying for a second, he returned to the paper crane's wings, bent a little, and said, "Are you used to answering my tasks?"

Masako looked at him.

"When I was having breakfast with Qiyan in the morning, the waiter brought watermelon juice, and I asked her to replace it with aloe vera." He said while turning his gaze to her, "This is the first time I've made this mistake."

The palms of Masako's hands behind her back were a little wet, and she unconsciously clenched them tightly.

"Mo Yazi, I seem to miss you a little bit." These words made her heart skip a beat, overflowing with emotion, she glanced at him.

"Put out your hand."

At this time, any small movements seemed difficult to complete, he took the initiative to hold Masako's hand under Masako's hesitation, and she was hugged into his arms unexpectedly.At the same time, he handed the paper crane into her palm, and his whispers were heard in her ears.

"The name of the next target is written inside."

Masako was slightly taken aback.

"Be careful this time," he said again, before letting go.

Masako held the paper crane, glanced at him, breathed in the cold air, and nodded slowly: "I see."

She left.

Afterwards, Duan Yousi's expression was always indifferent, he walked down the stairs step by step, the dim light reflected his silhouette even more arrogantly.

There was no one in the long aisle, and his pace was neither fast nor slow, until he finally stopped at the corner of the stairs where the sunlight could not shine.

On the handrail of the stairs, Fanzhi sat with his legs crossed, his black hair draped over his shoulders, and his eyes shone brightly when he stared at him.

As if the glamorous mermaid chanted a dangerous and seductive note, when Duan Yousi walked towards the girl, sparks sparked every step of the way.He put his hands on the armrest and wrapped her in his arms soundlessly.

Lowering his head and sighing, he asked, "What are you doing back?"

"Mo Yazi is the one who replaces me?" She crossed her hands on her knees, and when she spoke, her calf gently rubbed against his waist.

He raised his head and looked at her. When his eyes met, there was a strong electric light, and his palm slid across her calf, and he replied, "Don't pay attention to her."

Fanzhi leaned down: "If you had given it to me, the student union would have been wiped out by now."

"But you didn't come back."

She put her hand on his shoulder, and kissed from his neck all the way to the back of his ear: "But you didn't wait for me, but chose another person."

The elves whispered.

The light was cold.

Duan Yousi turned his head to avoid Fanzhi's kiss, she looked at him intently, his hands left the stair railing, stepped back and said: "I will send you back to France the day after tomorrow."

"I am now the new head of the Student Union's Outreach Department." Fanzhi skipped over his subject slowly, "Compared to Mo Yazi, the head of the Learning Department with a lot of records, you seem to be more important to me."

"I will pick you up the morning after tomorrow and send me your temporary address." He turned a deaf ear.

"Temporary address, No. 3002, Xinyu Building." As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at her, Fanzhi smiled leisurely, "Yes, that's right there."

He slowly put his hands into his trouser pockets, stood upright, and his tone gradually became cold: "Say it again."

"I am your favorite, why can't I live in your house?"

Duan Yousi's meaning was clear and unchangeable, Fanzhi sighed, raised his tie and said, "Then, tell me your next goal."

……

"Look at the one you and I personally selected, whoever makes the case first will be amazed."

Masako took apart the paper crane and saw the name on it. The breeze in the classroom blew, the paper and pen rustled, and her bangs flicked slightly on her forehead.Her pen was spinning between her fingers, and soon she spread out the notebook and wrote three words——

Xu Yitian.

"Masako, why did you write his name?"

Lu Jian'er saw it and blurted out the question.

"Suddenly it occurred to me that the year-end art festival was approaching. Senior Yitian had informed the cadres of the student union to hold a meeting before school, so I would write it down in case I forgot."

"Oh……"

Lu Jianer nodded.

Masako was always calm, pressed the paper crane on the last page of the notebook, lowered her head and wrote stroke by stroke, her eyes bottomless.

In the evening, at the student union meeting before school, everyone discussed the art festival, and most of the work of the art festival was handed over to the art department and the publicity department.

The first concubine Huangfu leaned on the cowhide chair and listened absent-mindedly. While tapping the folder on the table with her fingertips, she looked at Masako on the opposite side and Fanzhi beside her.

Fanzhi's attention was on Xu Yitian, with his fingers resting on his chin.

Masako's black hair was loosely tied behind her head, her forehead was smooth, and a few bangs fell naturally along the lines of her face, her skin was as creamy as fat.

"I won't participate in this festival." Concubine Huangfu opened her mouth, and she was a blockbuster. Xu Yitian, who was talking endlessly, suddenly stopped and looked at her in astonishment.

Masako also looked at her.

"I have some personal matters to do, and the school has approved the leave for half a month." Huangfu and Concubine knocked on the forehead while talking, "So the art department is temporarily handed over to..."

The meeting room was very quiet, Huangfu and Concubine's eyes fell leisurely between Masako and Fanzhi, and the folder under her hand slid out with a "swoosh" and slid directly towards them.

"Crack!" Masako held the corner of the folder with her fingertips, and Fanzhi pressed the same, raising her head to look at Concubine Huangfu.

"I'll leave it to you two." The cowhide chair turned, and the first concubine Huangfu pulled up the dark blue shawl that fell on her shoulders and said.

After the meeting, Masako put away the folder, and followed the first concubine Huangfu who had just walked out of the door: "Sister!"

Huangfu and Concubine stopped, turned around, with the shawl half draped over her shoulders.

"I heard that there are many talents in the art department." Masako asked her when the cadres were walking around.

Concubine Huangfu nodded slightly: "You can use it as you like."

"Then, does senior sister know a student named Hamada Kei?"

"Hamada." Huangfu Yifei's answer was very straightforward, and she immediately got the impression, "She used to be my deputy, she is good at ballet, do you know her?"

"I don't know, but I want to know."

"She transferred away after only one year of study. Next time, if there is news about her, I will let you know." Concubine Huangfu is really a clean and tidy person. She accepted the request without asking why or avoiding it. .

"Thank you, senpai."

"Also..." Concubine Huangfu turned her eyes to Masako's back, implying deep meaning, "Pay more attention to your back."

She frowned slightly and turned her head to the side, just happened to run into Xu Yitian who was walking up, his expression changed when he heard the same words, and he said with a dry smile: "What are you talking about, Huangfu..."

"Ah." Concubine Huangfu turned around slowly, returning to her original lazy tone, "Dizzy."

The school bell just rang.

Xu Yitian looked at Masako, patted his pants with both hands, and said hesitantly, "Masako..."

"Ok?"

"It's so late, why don't I take you home?"

"can."

Xu Yitian was taken aback by this natural answer, and he looked at Masako flattered: "Yes?"

"sure."

She nodded, hugged the folder tightly in her arms, and walked towards the stairwell.

"Yazi!" Fanzhi's voice came from behind.

"Senior Yitian." Fanzhi also greeted Xu Yitian when he came up, then stood in front of Masako, and went straight to the topic, "That's it, I still have a lot of unfamiliar things about this school, Masako, you I didn’t belong to the art department originally, so I might be able to learn it by hand.” Speaking of this, she turned her attention to Xu Yitian, “So I want to ask, can I ask Senior Yitian to assist the two of us?”

Xu Yitian, who was favored by two girls at the same time, couldn't help himself, and nodded repeatedly with a smile: "Okay, okay!"

"Then wish us a happy cooperation." Fanzhi's smile was sweet and elegant, and he held Xu Yitian's hand together, and the dimples at the corners of his mouth appeared.

When Xu Yitian's gaze met her, Masako also smiled lightly, and looked at Fanzhi: "We can do it well."

"That's right." Fanzhi replied confidently, "We can manage the art festival well."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Yitian quickly helped Masako take the heavy folder, and said, "You go back to the classroom and pack up your things, shall we go?"

This action caught Fanzhi's attention, and she stopped her before taking two steps. She tilted her head and asked half-jokingly, "Is senior Yitian and Masako dating?"

"No!" Xu Yitian hurriedly waved his hands and smiled embarrassedly, "But I..."

"Because I just want to understand the procedures of the previous art festivals of Grai, so I invite the seniors to go with me." Masako's response was concise and polite. After replying to Fanzhi calmly, her eyes stayed on her for a second.

Fanzhi looked at her.

When the atmosphere was slightly cold and embarrassing, Wu Xiaomei's sudden appearance relieved her. She happened to pass by and said goodbye to Masako: "Goodbye, Masako!"

"See you tomorrow."

Masako responded, to Wu Xiaomei, and also to Fanzhi.

"See you tomorrow."

The corners of Fanzhi's lips curled up slightly.

Walking out of the school gate, the cold wind made Masako shiver, Xu Yitian walked to her side and asked, "Is it cold?"

Masako nodded, wrapping her coat tightly around her body.

It's December, and the streets are filled with the atmosphere of Christmas. Xu Yitian scanned the nearby storefronts, grabbed Masako and said, "Wait a minute."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards a warm clothing store. Masako waited for a while in the cold wind, and turned her gaze back to the school gate.

The third grade just finished school, and the students who came out one after another showed a sense of noise. After scanning their eyes a few times, they finally caught Duan Yousi and An Qiyan who had just walked out of the teaching building.

In the distance, there was a dark blue scarf between his collar, and the wind was cold and strong, An Qiyan shrank her neck when she stepped down the steps, and habitually leaned to his side.

The line of sight was blocked at this moment, Masako turned her head, a dark green scarf was draped around her neck, and her whole body felt warm.

Xu Yitian tidied up his scarf and looked at her with a smile: "Is it not cold now?"

"Thank you."

When Masako looked towards the school gate again, Duan Yousi and An Qiyan were already standing beside a taxi, the door opened, and An Qiyan got in.

At that time, Duan Yousi's eyes fell on her.

One second before getting into the car, he glanced between her and Xu Yitian lightly, then entered the car, and closed the door with a "bang".

Masako exhaled warm air into the palm of her hand, and walked towards the station, Xu Yitian began to talk beside her.She listened, occasionally answering a sentence or two, until the topic shifted to Christmas, Xu Yitian asked her clearly if she was free that day.

Masako didn't answer, and continued to walk forward, but his hand was suddenly grabbed by him.

She turned her head in a daze, but he grabbed her tightly, as if he had confirmed the relationship, and even wanted to interlock his fingers with her.

"Xu Yitian." Masako called out his full name, Xu Yitian woke up suddenly, let go of his hand, extremely embarrassed.
