Love Comes After Learning

Nino replied without hesitation.

"If you can't think of another way, at worst, I'll come and apologize to all the students in the school later. From now on, I will study hard. It doesn't matter how many tutors I want."

"But family is my bottom line, and nothing is more important than their physical and mental health—so forest school, get out of here, I won't agree with your method!"

Asada couldn't help but smile before showing a troubled expression.

"You didn't say that before."

"I've been like this since before, only this thing hasn't changed." Nina folded her arms around her chest, raised her chin and snorted, "I will work hard until now just for the sake of my sisters, otherwise do you think it's for you?"

"Of course not. Then for the sake of you sisters, have you ever thought about how other people will feel when they see the results of their hard work destroyed?" Asada said with a smile, "If you don't leave the forest at this time After the school is rescued, Yotsuba will definitely collapse earlier than Sanjiu, do you believe it?"

"Huh, nonsense, that kid is obviously very strong..." Seeing his suddenly indifferent eyes, Er Nao couldn't help hesitating, his fingers gripped the clothes on his arms, unable to continue his words.

"Don't tell me, I'm just an outsider, and I understand Yotsuba better than you, a good sister who loves family the most."

After she turned her gaze away as if avoiding it, Asada suppressed her smile and said calmly.

"We don't have time to discuss trade-offs here, and we don't have time to come up with other methods - Committee Er Nai, you can only choose one, whether to let Sanjiu accept the test and overcome timidity; or let Clover blame herself for it, the future Always bear the failure of this day, let life shrouded in a lingering shadow..."

The more he said, the more Nino's body trembled, the harder he bit his lips, and his lips turned white.

Asada's deep, devilish voice continued to echo in her ears.

"When she dreams back in the middle of the night, she will always see the huge log falling in front of her eyes, and the figures of the sisters bowing and apologizing for her negligence will always appear, and she will always remember that she made everyone's efforts go to waste..."

"It's not her fault! It's an accident!"

Nino couldn't help shouting, in order not to worry the sisters, she lowered her face and made a sound almost in a low growl.

"We all know." Asada immediately responded, "But she doesn't think so... Their thoughts, whether they are strong or weak, we can't control, even if we guess, we can't guess it [-]%."

"So do your best, listen to the destiny, and take a step at a time. Even if you fail completely, it will be more face-saving than standing still and giving up."

Nina gritted her teeth: "Can't you speak more nicely..."

Asada held the bridge of his nose expressionlessly, as if pushing on his glasses.

"sure.

This beautiful girl, can you please stop dawdling?There are still a bunch of people waiting behind, please finish it quickly.

How, does this sound good enough? "

Snapped!

As if the line of rationality was broken, Er Nai blushed with anger, punched forward, leaned forward, and punched hard on his abdomen.

But there was no impact of explosion as expected.

"...Do you trust Sanjiu that much?"

The voice was very soft, and two fingers stretched out from the fist, grabbing his clothes forcefully.

She lowered her head in front of him and asked this question.

"I never doubted it." He sighed softly, his voice softened, "Don't underestimate her, and don't underestimate us."

"During this month, everyone hasn't stopped changing, haven't you grown a lot too?"

"..." Er Nai couldn't help being silent, her eyes were in a trance for a moment.

She thought of Yihua and Sanjiu's weird atmosphere from the beginning to the relief and reconciliation now.

She thought of Yotsuba who was full of energy from the beginning, and now she seemed to be firm and mature as if she was fighting to the death.

She remembered what May had said to her before dinner that night.

"Nino, let me ask you a question."

After the bonfire was lit, Wu Yue suddenly asked her this question when she was about to return to her respective classes to assemble.

"What's the question? I didn't provide you with the meat bun." Nino turned around and answered reflexively.

The corner of Wuyue's mouth twitched, and she said weakly, "Stop making fun of me with meat buns... I just want to ask, after the forest school is over, do you have any goals?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Goal?" Frowning slightly, Er Nai nodded his chin and thought for a while, "Make sure you can participate in more activities organized by the school after you graduate, I feel that this will be more stable, and you can get your impression points from the teacher." Not bad, after all, we are transfer students...

As for the further future, I haven't thought about what to do. Anyway, with our current grades, even if we want to go to college, we can only find some third-rate students to study, right?It's better to rely on my father's relationship to get a job directly. With my skills, it feels good to open a small shop. "

After she finished speaking, she turned her head, just in time to see Wu Yue's dumbfounded look.

"...What expression do you have?" Er Nai frowned slightly and pinched her finger bones.

"No, I just didn't expect that Er Nao would think so deeply..." Wu Yue put away her unbelievable eyes, and said in admiration, "I thought you would say, 'Why do you care so much? Let's focus on the immediate matter first. Let’s talk about other things only when you’re perfect!”

"It's really rude..." Er Nao flicked her forehead, put her hands on her waist, and said angrily, "The future is very important, right? If you don't set a goal first, how will you know how to move forward?"

Wuyue's eyes couldn't hide her shock: "Ni, Nino actually said something similar to what Asada-kun would say..."

"Don't mention that guy to me!" Er Nai blushed, and quickly acted fierce.

"If he didn't say in front of me all day long, "Forget it, if you don't have a dream goal, you can only become a salted fish in the end, waiting to be served on the table" and other shocking words, how could I have Such an incomprehensible thought!"

May looked at her with incomparably straightforward eyes.

"However, Nino didn't deny Asada-kun's statement. If it wasn't correct, with your character, I'm afraid you'd just scoff at it, and wouldn't listen to half a sentence, right?"

Er Nai opened her mouth, speechless, she could only puff up her face and look away.

"...Hmph, that guy is the chairman of the committee after all, so he can barely listen to what he's saying."

"But... that's great."

Wuyue sighed suddenly, and Nino looked at her strangely: "What's good?"

Itsuki smiled, as if she was genuinely happy about something, she just said that with a smile.

"Whether it's the four of us or Er Nai, we have all made changes in this month... From the idiot who couldn't even do the student's duties well and was confused in his studies, he has grown into the one who can perfect an event, The organizer who allows so many people to participate happily will no longer feel worthless, and suddenly there are many more choices and possibilities in life."

"I think this is really much better than before!"

"..." Er Nai stared at her in a daze for a while, pursed her lips, and her expression gradually became a little downcast.

"It's different from you...I've always thought, is this really good? I can't go back to the feeling that the five people seemed to have the same heart. Everyone gradually became different. After graduation, they will each embark on completely different paths. Or continue to study, or work, or directly get married and have children, it is very likely that we can only see each other once a year..."

She sighed, looking at the ground, her eyebrows lowered slightly.

"The more you change, the farther away you are from the memory... I can still remember the five of us listening to my mother tell stories in front of the hospital bed, and I can still remember that they are five identical children, but grandpa can name them accurately scene..."

"We are quintuplets, unique quintuplets in this world... Such uniqueness will disappear in the changes sooner or later..."

"The quintuplets who have been separated and become different, can the relationship between family members remain unchanged forever... I don't want to see that unfamiliar expression that I have to pretend to be intimate when we meet in the future."

Yihua's performance is a precursor, and changes will not bring only good things.

She knew that she couldn't stop this process, everyone had been freed from the shackles of the past, only she was still curled up in the shell of memories, unwilling to admit that she was also gradually changing, and gradually separated from the beautiful relationship called quintuplets further and further.

Feelings are like ropes, she doesn't want to let go, but the fact is, when everyone else turns and leaves one by one, no matter how persistent she is, no one will hold on to it with her.

The chicks always leave the nest, and the abandoned house always leaves the computer; if you can't change the world by yourself, you can only let the world change you.

"It's scary... I don't know what kind of encounters are waiting for me in the future, and I don't know whether we can still be peaceful in the future..."

As if reciting a poem, Wuyue smiled softly while talking, and hugged Nino's shoulders.

"When something scary happens, try to learn not to be afraid. That's what we have to do."

"The period of pain will always pass, the anxiety will always disappear, and the tears will always dry up. And when we mature, these can also become our precious memories..."

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

"Let's go forward together, Nino!"

Letting go of her shoulders, Wuyue held her hand, her eyes were clear and full of frank anticipation.

It was as if they were more and more looking forward to what kind of test would happen in the future, and also believed that the five of them would always be able to get through it side by side, and would never become alienated because of this.

That trust and innocence, like the setting sun that never sets, exudes a warm and bright gleam.

Nino stared at her blankly, and it took a while before she made a sound.

"That's also... that guy told you?"

May shook her head slightly.

"Everyone told me."

You, everyone, Asada-kun, and everything that happened during this time.

The resulting change is not meaningless, and it tells us something, for better or for worse.

And let us know that we are still moving forward and not stopping.

The unknown is still scary, but this is enough for us to face it.

△

During the less than three seconds of silence, she thought of many things.

After talking with Wuyue, she went to tell Asada what she had said, and admitted her growth and changes.

Then why are you still so hesitant and coy now?

—To crawl out of a cave full of gravel and spikes entails pain, which is unavoidable.

Progress always requires a price, which is equivalent exchange, a necessary choice to resettle the past and face the future.

Moreover, the one who should make the choice is not her, but Sanjiu.

Even if they are quintuplets, the five of them are still unique individuals in this world, and they are completely different flames of existence.

He should have recognized this a long time ago, why did he still show such a shameful look in front of him?

"...Tsk, it turned out to be a hindrance."

She clicked her lips in displeasure, let go of Asada's clothes, turned around, her long hair drew a beautiful arc.

"Sorry, wasted time. Diverting attention? I know what to do."

She faced the bonfire with a calm expression and decisive words.

"Leave it to me here, you won't be disappointed."
