April is more than your lies

"Probably... I slept a little late last night."

Whoever it was, wouldn't have been in good spirits after going to bed at two o'clock in the morning the day before, but Kazusa didn't intend to explain any more.

"I want to ask you something..."

"Tell me..."

Kousei tried to find something to divert his attention. He was not comfortable with the current "atmosphere" - not only because he was facing Hesha, but also the things that really came from the "atmosphere".

Just the gaze surrounding him was enough for him to feel the weight of discomfort. Not everyone could be as arrogant as Shenwu and could ignore these things.

"Do we have to understand these things?"

Hesha's fingers clasped gently on her cheeks, and her unhurried movements had the same rhythm as her speaking speed.

"All morning, I didn't understand what the teacher was saying at all."

"Although we are in the music department, ah... cultural classes still need to be taken into account."

The "these things" Hesha was talking about were undoubtedly studies, and her mood was the same as the tabletop that was now cluttered with open textbooks.

This girl is undoubtedly confused.

Koong Sheng, on the other hand, could only smile bitterly.

"If you find it difficult, you can ask Shenwu to give you tutoring. Although he hasn't studied hard, his grades are actually very good, and... he should be very willing to help you."

Are your last words a bit abrupt?Kousheng thought.

In the past, of course there wouldn't be any problem with this, but that was "before" - at least now Hesha is definitely not the well-behaved girl she once was. She can even put pressure on the person who looks at her simply through her eyes. .

Everyone... is actually "growing", but they are just taking different paths.

"If Shenwu hadn't told me to figure out these troublesome things, I wouldn't have bothered."

Maybe it's because I think too much?

Kousei sincerely hoped that this would be the case, so when his delicate thinking was not taken into account, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I made some troublesome requests without permission. No wonder Touma Yaozi said that guy has turned bad... Kousei, when did he become like this?"

"Shenwu..."

Is this considered to be complaining to oneself?Or... did he become naughty because he was immersed in comfort and joy?

Kousei hopes to be the latter. He always hopes that everything in this world will develop for the best.But there is one thing he will not deny. That guy Shenwu does have a very bad character.

Therefore, just regard this occasional joke as a return gift from being a "good friend".

"He should be, always has been."

"That's right..."

Hesha agreed very much with this and had a slight smile on her face.

It seemed that she also understood Gongsheng's mood and was quite happy.

"If I had known these things were so troublesome, I wouldn't have agreed yesterday... But now, I can only waste a little time."

"Strictly speaking, studying is not a waste of time."

"..."

Hesha is serious, the last sentence is definitely - this girl really feels that studying is a waste of time.

Gongsheng smiled sarcastically, realizing that his joke might have gone too far, but now... he should be able to redeem himself, right?

"Hesha, you must have rejected Shingo before, right? When he first asked you to spend your time studying."

"Is this..."

Just what happened last night, Hesha couldn't remember clearly - only a few words were exchanged, and she reluctantly agreed...

And before that?

Have you ever rejected that guy?

Hesha really forgot these trivial things, and the reason probably had to do with her little temper at the time.

"If Shenwu doesn't think studying is important, he won't persuade you after you refuse. You should know that..."

It is not easy to explain these things that "should be known". A certain kind of "cognition" that should be like this can never be explained clearly in a few words.

And there is indeed something about Hoshino Shingo’s character that makes people think so.

"I know...one or two..."

Hesha became impatient. After glancing at the textbooks on the table, she didn't throw these annoying things into the trash can because the person she was facing was Kousei.

"Really, there's nothing I can do against you... When the time comes, I can't be the only one learning these things."

"Hesha, as a student... learning is the most basic thing."

What exactly has Hesha experienced in these years...

Kousei couldn't understand how even though he was born with a cold face, Kazusa's formerly well-behaved personality turned into this.

If she hadn't always maintained a dignified demeanor, Gongsheng would have even felt that he was dealing with the rumored "bad girl".

"I told you, I know."

Kazusa's tone became a little more serious, but her shoulders slumped slightly.

"Did you two collude to lecture me like this?"

"Absolutely not……"

"You will come with us when we have dinner later."

I probably didn’t say much just now, right?

Gongsheng was still thinking about something that should not cause any confusion, but an invitation that he could not refuse had already landed in front of him. In this regard, he had no other choice but to nod.

"If you let me know that you two are working together to bully me, you will look good."

Glancing at her watch, Hesha's mood subtly sank a little.

"That guy, why don't you come over?"

"Shinwu?"

"Um……"

Of course, the only person Kazusa would be thinking about at this time is Shingo. She asked this question probably because Kousei wanted to confirm her mood - this was quite relaxing, and the seemingly indifferent girl didn't realize it at all. Maybe I should hide my emotions.

"He said we were going to have lunch together at noon."

"Don't worry, that guy Shenwu will still do what he says."

Of course, being true to one's word has nothing to do with Shingo, but when the premise that "the target is Kazusa" is added, it is another matter.

Volume 19: Chapter 19 Chapter [-] Late Arrival

Shingo was still a little confused about his "late arrival" because Hesha didn't believe that he had already left after the last class.

In this case, any explanation is actually quite weak - right now, he doesn't feel good enough to conclude that "it's because Hesa ​​misses me too much".

So he just put this episode behind him after Hesha seemed not to care too much, because right now... watching Hesha eat the lunch he prepared was also a happy thing.

"Next time, come earlier, I'm hungry."

Hesha didn't seem to intend to abide by the rule of not talking when eating or sleeping. This girl who looked quite dignified unexpectedly had a little bad taste.

It seemed that she was really hungry.

"You obviously know that I'm waiting for you."

"I try my best."

"..."

Shenwu never thought of repeating the previous explanation. In his opinion, saying something once is enough.As for Hesha, what she wants is definitely not this answer.

"Be quick."

"Know it……"

"Evil-minded guy..."

He actually imitated the tone of voice he used before...

If Shingo said now that he had no mischief, Hesha would never believe it, and the smile she received from Shingo was the best proof.

"Obviously I have promised you that I will learn those inexplicable things, but you are still thinking about it..."

I have already agreed to a rather excessive request, so in exchange, Shenwu has to agree to a request of myself - but... I just asked you to come earlier, and it is obviously not excessive at all...

Girls' thinking is never logical, and they don't speak out these things, which is why there are so many inexplicable tempers in this world.

"Did you tell Gongsheng about studying... and then collude to bully me? In fact, those things are not that important."

"Hesha..."

Before Kousei had time to feel troubled by the conversation between the two guys, who were probably confessing to each other, Shingo was already laughing uncontrollably.

Now it seems that things that should have been explained easily will take many times more words to explain - but maybe this is the scene that Shingo wants?

"really……"

Kazusa didn't think she had any misunderstanding about Shingo's smile.

"If I had known better, I wouldn't have bothered with those things... This morning, I kept having a headache because of your bad thoughts."

"Not because of this..."

Shingo probably wanted to restrain himself a little, but his indulgent nature made him unable to restrain himself and wanted to laugh a little longer.

After taking a deep breath, he could barely finish his sentence.

"Hesha, studying... is really important. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as school... So, I'm not bullying you, but... forget it, let's not talk about it."

"..."

Last night, I should have used more force when I pinched this guy's face, otherwise he wouldn't have no memory at all...

Kazusa attributed her continued bullying to being soft-hearted, but now she can no longer "punish" Shingo.

"Now, aren't you just completely bullying people?"

"Shengo, you really need to be more serious."

Kousei cleared his throat.

It's not surprising how romantic Shingo would become when staying with Kazusa, but that would be best when they are alone.

Now in the school cafeteria, they don't know how to restrain themselves, so as a friend, I can only help...

"Hesha really doesn't know much about this. If she really thinks you are joking and doesn't intend to work hard, you will be troubled, right?"

"That's right..."

Finally, Shenwu finally realized that he was getting carried away, but his seriousness was limited to restraining his overly indulgent emotions and returning to his usual frivolous appearance.

"Hesha, this time, I am not joking... If you want to say it, things like studying are slightly less important to ordinary students than the piano in your eyes. Although it is not There are so many people who can be as focused as you are.”

"Public student?"

"What Shen Wu said is true."

Gongsheng felt that it was better to keep his words brief, and he didn't know how to explain these common sense.

"Even abroad, Kazusa... doesn't despise learning to this extent, right?"

"Before, I only went to school two days a week, and the rest of the time was spent practicing piano."

Hesha recalled her life before returning to China, but she really couldn't find anything abnormal in the state she was accustomed to.

"I'm actually not used to staying in school five days a week. Even if I only have to stay in the classroom for half a day...sometimes, I want to play the piano in the morning. If I skip class like this guy, it will be too much. Were you scolded?"

"Skipping class?"

The person Kazusa was talking about was, of course, Shingo.

Kousei just didn't expect that his friend was much bolder than he thought - but it's not surprising, every time he thought he had a good understanding of the extent of Shingo's misbehavior, this knowledge would be refreshed.

It's just... On the first day of high school, I started skipping classes without even recognizing my classmates. Isn't this a bit too much?
