Love Comes After Learning

Asada stared at her back, then looked away after a while, looking at the clear sky outside the window.

The rare cloudless, warm sun hanging in the sky melted the winter chill into the gentle sea blue. There is no weather more suitable for sports festivals.

After admiring Wen Qing for a while, Asada lowered his head again and looked through the window at the playground below.

The chairs are displayed there, and the rest area is divided according to the position of each class. Many students in short-sleeved sportswear are walking around, some are helping with the final set-up and confirmation, and some are warming up for the later program. , Just watching upstairs, Asada can feel the rising excitement and noise.

The school is no longer quiet, and the pressure accumulated for a long time is always ready to counterattack, trying to burn all the vitality and blood on this day.

"The wind today is very noisy..."

Looking at the scenery aimlessly, Asada suddenly paused his eyes, a pair of green rabbit ear headbands and a curvy long hair reflected in his eyes.

In the vast crowd, Yotsuba's headband and May's dull hair are always particularly obvious.

Driven by the lively atmosphere of the sports festival, Wuyue always felt unable to calm down, so she specially left the classroom to walk around and visit the campus which is different from usual.

When she got to the playground, she happened to meet Yotsuba who had gone out earlier than them, so she went up to say hello and asked curiously.

"Yotsuba, how many projects have you participated in today?"

Yotsuba thought for a while, and started counting with her fingers: "Because the registration is limited to more than one participation, I registered all those who can participate once... Women's [-] meters, [-] meters, class relay, two Tripods, obstacle races, throwing a ball, eating bread..."

"Okay, okay, please don't say it!" Wuyue stopped her with a headache, with a look of disbelief, "Why do you participate in so many projects! This is more than the exchange meeting, right? You support it Can you live?"

"Hehehe, after all, I was entrusted..." Yotsuba scratched her head and giggled a few times.

No way, after that morning meeting, everyone knew that her physical fitness was almost the pinnacle of Tokyo girls' high school students, and it was only natural that she had expectations of herself at the sports festival.

Yotsuba understood this, but she didn't act blindly—she also didn't want everyone to worry.

"Don't worry! I have arranged a break between each project. If I can take a break, this amount is just a piece of cake for me! If you work harder, you can overcome it!"

Seeing how she patted her arm to make a promise, Wuyue still couldn't let go:

"That's what you said at the exchange meeting..."

"Yeah, didn't I survive that time too? So..."

"But you were so tired that you fell asleep under the tree."

"Uh……"

Yotsuba was speechless for a moment, but immediately became serious again, and solemnly said to Wuyue:

"The me now is hundreds of times stronger than the me in the past! So May, trust me!

"The exercise I usually do with Asada-san in the morning is much more tiring than today's schedule!"

Hearing her mention that person's name, Wu Yue's questioning thoughts gradually disappeared.

"This, that's it..."

Although she thought of some unhealthy things because of her words, Wu Yue quickly shook her head, not letting those bad thoughts disturb her.

"I know sports festivals are nothing to you, but..."

She paused subtly, her eyeballs secretly looked left and right, and suddenly moved to Clover's ear, her face was reddish and she whispered:

"Are you here today? It's better not to do too much strenuous exercise..."

"Eh?!"

Yotsuba's eyes widened in an instant, the rabbit ear headband stretched upwards, like a frightened little rabbit, she blinked her eyes quickly in a panic.

"Five, May, how do you know..."

May looked at her helplessly: "Did you forget? Our menstrual periods are almost the same! Now that I'm here, of course you also..."

After coughing twice, even if she is a sister, she would feel quite embarrassed to say such things in public.

Clover shrank her shoulders, and giggled in the same awkward way.

"Ahaha, as expected of the quintuplets..."

"All in all! Even if it's not a problem usually, but on that day, if you don't pay more attention, accidents will happen!

"So don't be brave, go to the health room to rest if you feel uncomfortable, everyone in the track and field department will be considerate, right?"

Wu Yue looked towards the center of the playground, where several girls were casting their gazes. They were all familiar faces in the track and field department, and she would occasionally say hello to them.

"Well, it's the same as what Nino said!" The smile became warm and soft, and Yotsuba nodded firmly towards Wuyue, and said in a brisk voice:

"I understand! Today, Nakano Yotsuba will definitely protect her body and not let everyone worry!"

"That's good." Wuyue smiled reassuringly.

After chatting for a few more words, the two sides said goodbye and left, and Yotsuba ran towards the people in the track and field department.

"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time~"

"It's nothing, but we have to trouble you..."

"No, no, I'm the sports committee member of the student union! And I'm also on the sports festival executive committee, so I should help."

"Really, if the minister hadn't ordered hundreds of cups of pearl milk tea for the whole school to drink, we wouldn't have to work as porters at this time..."

"Ahaha, the minister is also kind~"

Although I couldn't hear what they were saying, I couldn't see their expressions clearly.

Upstairs, Asada still focused on Yotsuba, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he narrowed his eyes and looked at her walking movements, his expression gradually became serious.

"Not feeling well? I always feel a little awkward...

"That guy, just told her that he was going to take a good rest recently, but in the end he still planned to be brave..."

Daily training, sports festival, student union, schoolwork, these four things add up, even an iron man will inevitably get rusty, let alone a certain stupid rabbit who always works too hard?

Just be careful not to let her mess around.

With that in mind, Asada made a decision.

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

The sports festival officially opened, and all the students lined up on the playground. Outside the rest area, there were many parents with camera equipment, just like reporters.

Although there are some big names in the media industry among them... The complexity of the careers of the parents of Shuzhiin Academy opened Asada's eyes.

At this moment, he, Wen Nai, Wu Yue and the others were standing in the phalanx of Class B of the second year, listening to the customary and lengthy speeches given by the principal, guests and others on the stage, and chatting quietly like everyone else, so as not to be in the middle of it all. Falling asleep standing up in warm and comfortable weather.

"Mayue, I know about you and Clover."

Hearing Asada say this in a deep voice, Wuyue was startled, and her eyes widened in disbelief:

"Qianqian Qiantian, how do you know?! Is there a smell?"

She was so surprised that Asada, who was just pretending to be deep, became puzzled.

"What's the smell? I'm talking about the conversation you had with Clover just now. I saw it upstairs."

"Ah, Yuan, it turned out to be this matter...Fortunately, I thought it would be impossible to say that with such a strong smell..."

With vague words muttering in his mouth, Wuyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Asada was still looking at her strangely, she couldn't help coughing twice, turned her face away and said nonchalantly:

"Do you want to ask what we talked about?"

"Well, I'm quite worried about Yotsuba." Asada said bluntly, "Although I can't see it very clearly upstairs, I always feel that Yotsuba's physical condition is not very good. I wonder if you can also see it. What's coming..."

Facing Fumino's "perverted look", Asada added: "Having practiced with Yotsuba for half a year, I can still see this small abnormality."

"Humph~ I see~" Wen Nai didn't say anything, but his tone sounded meaningful.

"As for Yotsuba's physical condition...well, she's been really busy lately to the point of worrying, and I told her not to force herself..."

For some reason, Asada always felt that Wuyue seemed to be hiding something. When she spoke, her complexion was slightly red, thin sweat dripped on her temples, her eyes moved away suspiciously, and her thighs were still rubbing against each other.

This guilty conscience is [-]% similar to Yotsuba's when she was lying.

But Asada didn't think that with Wuyue's serious and honest personality, she would let Yotsuba do whatever she wanted after realizing something was wrong, and even help her hide it from other people——

"She reassures us that she will definitely protect her body and not force herself!"

This sentence, Wu Yue also said it loudly, without any guilt or awkwardness.

Asada nodded, and naturally changed the subject without asking any further questions.

Anyway, he was just knocking on the sidelines about her information, and if something really happened, he still had to rely on his own improvisation.

Even though he didn't know what May was hiding, Asada still put the matter aside, and after the master of ceremonies announced the official start of the sports festival, he and the second grade students went to the preparation area and started queuing up.

Each year prepares an opening act, and second grade usually has a dragnet dance – a catchphrase and movement derived from fishermen catching herring.

It seems to be a dance used to pray for a good harvest, but as far as the performance is concerned, a group of people will be very imposing when they do it, it will make the audience happy, and it can also stir up the atmosphere as an opening.

Fortunately, it was a group activity of the second grade. Even if he wanted to be like a fisherman, pulling the air net in front of a group of people, clapping and cheering, Asada would not feel ashamed, and even danced very well. Worked hard and attracted the attention of many viewers.

At the end of the show, Fuutarou Uesugi came over and walked to the class rest area with him very naturally.

To be honest, Asada spent a lot of time on orders.

Wuyue and Nino, who are either cheerful or generous, naturally have good female friends and small groups in the class... such as Thorn Club, it is impossible to get tired of being with him all the time.

So many times, Fuutarou Uesugi, the Lone Ranger, would take away the seat next to him—ahem, this statement is a bit problematic—in order not to look like the extra one in the class, so as to " Reluctantly" to walk with him.

Compared with my lucky friends Omori and Kobayashi, Uesugi Fuutarou who always goes to school alone, studies alone, and eats lunch alone, not only the whole class, but also the whole school, he has very few people he can talk to Poor, this is exactly the same as Asada's situation.

Even if he is the student council president, it doesn't mean that Asada's friend list will cover the whole school, let alone bad friends, best friends and so on.

From this point of view, Uesugi Fuutarou's existence is extremely "special" to him.

Of course, it refers to the sake of sympathy for each other.

Lonely people need companions, even if they just swear at each other and tease each other, it is better than standing in a huge playground among noisy crowds, but always feel trapped in the silent seabed, walking alone.

"Yo, the net dance is not bad."

Rarely, Uesugi Fuutarou showed him a bright and sunny smile.

"The tangled emotions expressed in the fishing net being held by fishermen and struggling between humans and fish, you performed it so vividly, it is simply breathtaking... It feels like the audience outside the venue I'm dumbfounded."
