The principal of Hakanoyama Middle School is a kind-looking old man who not only gave Yayoi a generous scholarship, but also promised to give him a more generous scholarship as long as Yayoi remained the first in his grade and entered high school.
However, Yayoi Ji did not rush to make a decision, because compared to the goal of Tokyo University, the scholarship is only an occasional addition to the family, and he wants to go to a high school in Tokyo, after all, the measure of faculty is also very important.
After coming out of the principal's room, Yayoi was led to his class by a homeroom teacher who looked like a Mediterranean uncle.
In fact, neon, whether it is a school or a society, has always been a different circle and class. When I was in school, I can roughly be divided into current officers, top students, ordinary people, bad teenagers, and those at the bottom who are naturally isolated by everyone.
Xuebai are usually highly overlapping with the current group, while bad teenagers are on the edge of the rules, forced by force and will not be completely isolated, but they will not be popular.
For Miura Yuko, her results are not particularly good, but they are also at the upper middle level. And his appearance, from childhood to adulthood, belongs to the level of beauty, so he never doubts his position in school.
I can be sure that whether it is in elementary school or middle school, or even from high school to college in the future, I will be one of the few people in school who sparkle and receive everyone's worship and attention.
After entering junior high school, Miura Yuko also entered Class A as she wished, and after coming to Class A, Miura Yuko can be sure that she is the only queen of Class A. The only girl in the class who can compare slightly to herself is the girl named Naoka Ueno.
Looking at the girls who naturally surround her, Miura Yuko was greatly satisfied in her heart, and sure enough, her cute self would be popular wherever she went. Politely refusing the boy who wanted to talk to him, and discussing the makeup that was popular in the magazine with the girl she had just met, all this Miura Yuko did well, after all, this is how elementary school has come.
Click, the originally noisy classroom suddenly quieted down because of the sound of the door opening, and the uncle who came in first sorted out his own tie, and then coughed lightly, signaling everyone to look at him.
"Everyone, I'm the homeroom teacher and math teacher of Class A, Muroya Suzuki. In the future, please ask for your advice!
After Suzuki-sensei introduced herself, Miura Yuko took the lead in applauding, and the others followed suit.
Waving his hand to stop clapping, Suzuki-sensei looked at the door and smiled kindly.
"Yayoi-san, you can come in..."
As Suzuki-sensei's words fell, a slender leg first met Miura's eyes, and then a red-haired boy walked in.
How to describe it? The moment Miura Yuko saw the teenager, she almost couldn't help but make a sound like "oh hoo".
"Oh hoo" as you can see is an onomatopoeia, when people see the opposite sex that cannot be described in words, they make an interjection such as oh roar; Just as people who have never drunk a drink will sigh when they drink the first sip of iced Coke in their lives, it is a completely irrepressible human instinct, a reaction rooted in the deepest part of people, like a world truth that people will die if they are killed.
And Miura Yuko has always felt that with her own beauty, a little dress and makeup can make most boys make an interjection like "oh hoo", but the boy in front of her suddenly believes that there are really looks in the world that can make people "oh hoo" without dressing up.
The red hair that looked slightly messy was slightly upturned on the sides of the head, like animal ears standing up, and the fair skin was healthy and smooth, not the kind of morbid white that was displayed after staying at home for a long time, but the perfect skin tone that was very white in itself.
The amber eyes revealed a hint of defiance, and the shirt under the uniform jacket was not all buttoned, but randomly buttoned to reveal the delicate collarbone, and the tie that should have been tied well was also tied around the neck at will. But the movements that come in are very gentle and polite, and the whole person exudes a complex beauty of wildness and gentleness mixed together.
"Oooh hoo!" I don't know which girl let out a small exclamation, and then the originally quiet classroom immediately sounded buzzing.
"How handsome!"
"It's my favorite one!"
"Rumi, don't you like Fujimura-senpai?"
"That was before..."
Everyone be quiet, Yayoi-kun, you first find an empty seat to sit..." Suzuki-sensei suppressed the noisy discussion in the classroom and motioned for Yayoi to come first.
Looking around the classroom, Yayoi walked to the middle window position, ignored the expectant gazes of the other girls, put down her schoolbag and sat down.
"Okay, everyone is here now, please put your things away, everyone follow the teacher and me to the auditorium, the opening ceremony is about to begin."
It seems that the opening ceremony process is similar all over the world... Listening to the headmaster's meaningless official words, Yayoi Ji looked a little interested.
Looking around carefully, everyone was also a little bored, and some people who were already familiar were whispering. On the C side of class C, little by little, Chiwa looked as if she was about to fall asleep, and the girl next to her poked her with her hand from time to time, as if to cheer her up.
"I hope everyone can grow up happily in school in the new year... Above! Next, I invite the representative of the new students to come up and speak..." After seeing the principal on the stage slowly finish his speech, Yayoi Ji walked out of the class queue.
The principal had told him about the freshman's speech a few days earlier, and Chiwa, who had been dozing, widened his eyes in surprise when he saw Yayoiji on stage.
After the speech, there were no important classes on the first day, mainly because I was familiar with my class and classmates, so I left school very early.
Yayoi Ji also came to the door of Chiwa's class as soon as school was over, as expected, Chiwa has already mingled with the girls in the class, remember when Chiyoi was in elementary school, she was called "Chihuahua-chan" by everyone because of the similar pronunciation of her name and her cute appearance, and it was strange that she was not popular in junior high school itself, right?
"Xiaoji! Here and here! Chiwa, who was chatting with a friend he had just met next to him, saw Yayoi and shouted while waving his hand.
"Really, don't be so loud, this is completely unladylike..." while complaining, Yayoi walked over to Chiwa's side.
"Hello, I am Chiwa's childhood sweetheart, Yayoi, it's a pleasure to meet you, and I ask you to take care of Chiwa more in the future."
"Ah, you are Chiwa's childhood sweetheart... Don't bother you, today a few of us will go home first, see you tomorrow ~ Qianhe! The
one who looked like the leader of the girls on the side came out to say hello to Yayoiji, while the other two girls behind him looked at Chiwa and Yayoiji for a while, showing an aunt-like smile from time to time. After a little greeting with them, the girl said that she had something to go back first, and while speaking, she also made eyes at the other two girls, and the other two girls showed a sudden realization and followed out of the classroom.
"Xiaoji is actually a representative of the new students, I don't know how ah..." On the way home, Chiwa asked Yayoi while eating ice cream.
"Because I didn't think it was very important, I didn't tell Qianhe to you."
"Don't say it if it's not important? So, does Xiao Ji still have a lot of things to hide from me! "It's worthy of Chiwa, sometimes the brain circuits are really strange.
"No..." Yayoi's temples jumped.
Sometimes I really feel that Chiwa is like a little ghost, obviously older than himself.
"I still have to go to the supermarket to buy dinner ingredients, do you want to come with you?" The easiest way to deal with Chiwa is to change the subject, after all, fools are easily attracted by other things.
"Ah! Going, going!! Don't leave me alone! Sure enough, as soon as Qian He heard the words supermarket, he forgot what he wanted to ask just now.
"Don't add money to me this time, do you hear?" Yayoi turned her head to look at Chiwa.
"Hi... Hi, got it~" While perfunctory Yayoiki, Chiwa repeated the words supermarket snacks in his mouth like a child.
Yayoi Ji looked at Chiwa's appearance and knew that he would definitely increase his expenses today, but his mother seemed to be used to it, and he would always give more money when asking Yayoi to buy vegetables.
"I hope there is enough money today..." Yayoi patted his wallet.
There are many supermarkets along the way, and the nearest supermarket to Yayoi's house is also one that Yayoi frequents the most.
And Qianhe also took off his school uniform jacket and tied it around his waist because he felt a little stuffy at this time, and the whole person revealed the youthful feeling of a beautiful girl in the sports department.
"Then again, what is Auntie going to cook today?"
"Huh? This one..." The mother has already decided on the dish, just follow the mobile phone memo to buy the recorded special materials, while thinking, Yayoi Ji opened the mobile phone memo.
"Stewed taro, miso mackerel, soy yang yoshi salad... That's probably all. Yayoi read as she pushed her shopping cart looking for ingredients.
"What about meat, meat?" Chiwa showed a doomsday expression.
"Don't you know? Soybeans are actually called vegetarian meat. "
Gee... Xiaoji has been talking a lot like my mother recently. "
Chiwa's family is an ordinary salaryman, and his parents are busy and will not come home until late at night, so Chiwa always eats dinner with Yayoiki.
Just as Yayoi was getting all the ingredients she needed, she suddenly noticed the smell of curry coming from a corner, and it seemed that a new product of the curry quick conditioning bag was being sampled and sold.
"Oh, the relationship between brothers and sisters is so good! Come to buy something? Please try it and have a look. The aunt clerk in a dress flashed a businessman's smile.
Since childhood, Chiwa and Yayoi have often been mistaken for brothers and sisters, although Chiwa is the older one, which is also due to the fact that Yayoi has always grown relatively high (laughs)
"Then I'm welcome!"
"Please use it, there are two flavors: strong and light!"
Yayoi Ji wanted to ignore this aunt, but Chiwa reached for the paper plate for tasting. Her hands are obviously small and her arms are short, but they seem to only stretch when eating.
Really didn't think about her, thinking so, Yayoi Ji also picked up the paper tray.
"Well, both tastes ordinary, and the curry at home should be almost gone, so it's okay to buy it and keep it." But buying both seems too much.
"Which of the two sells better?"
"Huh?" The aunt didn't seem to hear clearly.
"Please give me the one that sells better, which one sells better?" The aunt with a strange expression pointed to the light taste.
Chiwa reached over from the side and put the rich flavor into the shopping cart.
"Hey, Chiwa!"
"But I think this one is delicious!" Chiwa smiled silly.
Aunt De on the side also snickered.
Tut! Although he was a little unhappy that his choice was ignored, he still allowed Chiwa to put the curry in the shopping cart.
After checking out, Yayoi and Chiwa left the supermarket.
On the way back -
"Chiwa, you don't interfere with my rational judgment."
"Rational?"
"I think the sales ratio that most people choose is more credible than your tongue."
"There's no such thing as that! My taste and Aunt Masaki are more compatible.
"And there is no data to prove that what you said is correct."
"It's true, Xiaoji has really changed, I obviously didn't like to be so reasonable when I was in elementary school." Chiwa shrugged.
"Of course, right? No one is set in stone
" "I prefer Xiaoji before, although it is very middle-two."
"You haven't changed at all! Whether it is connotation or appearance, it is still the same as that of elementary school students. Yayoiki, who was a little unhappy with Chiwa's behavior, began to fight back.
"What, what! I obviously grew up obviously, huh? Chiwa protested while pushing up his chest to show me.
...... Isn't that right? Who said this, hey!
"You... What are you arrogant! I'm a sister three months and ten days older than you! Looking at Yayoiji, who did not speak, Chiwa was obviously even more angry.
"Just being provoked like this immediately makes me angry, Chiwa really looks like a child." Although it was a little embarrassing just now, Yayoi Ji still reflexively shot back.
"You're less arrogant! It's just a small Ji!! "
It looks like she's completely victorious, Yayoi thought, but it doesn't seem like there's anything to be proud of against Chiwa? In this way, Yayoi Ji and Chiwa fought while walking on their way home.
After returning home, handing over the ingredients to the stupid mother, Yayoi went to take a bath as usual, and after taking a bath, Chiwa had already come to Yayoi's house, and now he was hugging his knees and curled up on the sofa watching TV.
Seeing Yayoiji walking to the living room, he turned his head with a snort, and from time to time there were whining voices such as "Xiaoji is a fool", "fool", "pretending to be an adult" and so on.
Tut... I didn't expect this guy to take revenge, obviously he came as an idiot, and he really didn't have anything to do with her....
"Hey, Chiwa!" Yayoi wiped her hair and looked at Chiwa, who was still angry in front of her.
"Hmph, I hate Xiaoji!" Chiwa turned his head in anger.
"There is leftover pork in the refrigerator, I'll let my mother fry it for you..."
Chiwa immediately cheered.
"..."
That piece of pork is about 300 yen, if it is a special day, it may only be 80 yen, this favorite... Gee, it's cheap enough.
However, Yayoi Ji did not rush to make a decision, because compared to the goal of Tokyo University, the scholarship is only an occasional addition to the family, and he wants to go to a high school in Tokyo, after all, the measure of faculty is also very important.
After coming out of the principal's room, Yayoi was led to his class by a homeroom teacher who looked like a Mediterranean uncle.
