life in the world

In addition to the community...

He suddenly thought of the entrance exam whose results had just been announced recently.

Speaking of which, why didn't Sifang students use preparing for the exam as an excuse?

After thinking about this, Haru Taki boarded the anonymous forum in the school and checked the grade ranking list uploaded by other students.

He began to search all the way down from his own name——

No.8 Quartet Butterfly.

At first glance it looks fine, but...

No.7 Nogami Izumi.

Seeing this, he couldn't hold back a little.

Judging from the tone and attitude of Sifang and Nogami when they mentioned each other, although it is very hidden on the surface, there must be a secret rivalry between them.

However, this is just fine.You can take this opportunity to play a prank on Sifang classmates, and you can have a suitable excuse.

[Harutaro: I'm sorry, sorry, I'm also busy with the entrance exams, and my grades are not satisfactory, so I haven't been in the mood to tweet. 】

As for flashbacks...

After entering the state with the selfie sent by the other party, he took a tape measure and compared it——

click.

[Harutaro: [picture]]

?

boo.

Sifang Diezi, who was scrolling Line and chatting with other girls before going to bed to distract herself, the moment she saw the message pop-up window in the background, she directly closed the chat interface and switched to Ligou’s account on Twitter.

[Harutaro: I'm sorry, sorry, I'm also busy with the entrance exams, and my grades are not satisfactory, so I haven't been in the mood to tweet. 】

thump.

thump.

flutter.

The phone was smashed against the bed, and after bouncing a few times, he lay quietly on the fluffy duvet, creating a small crater.

This guy definitely did it on purpose, right?

Xingchuan must know that she is Kinako, right?

Even though entrance exams are held in any high school within April, but——

The timing is so coincidental, and it happened that after she took the initiative to talk to her, she was looking for an interface that she didn't have time for...

And, what is "unsatisfactory grades"?

The fourth grade is not ideal? !

She didn't know that Harutaki's goal was actually the number one, but thinking that the other party might be implying that she had passed the No.8 exam, she couldn't help but itch with anger.

After finally resisting the urge to generate electricity, he was so provocatively teased by the other party, and the precious drowsiness he got from chatting with his classmates was all broken up.

but……

Sifang Diezi immediately developed a little self-comforting psychology——

Xingchuan, who always likes to make her happy by making jokes, shouldn't do this kind of prank to intentionally annoy her...

That's right, he must have studied hard to get No.4 in the exam, and of course he didn't have time to tweet.

And he concealed it very well, Xingchuan probably didn't know that Kinako was Sifang Diezi.

After all, if you know this secret, shouldn't Xingchuan, who has a good impression of her, take this opportunity to comfort her to gain more affection like other people who like her?

All in all, Xingchuan must not have discovered that Kinako has something to do with her!

After thinking about this set of logic that seemed to have no major loopholes, the girl couldn't help but put her hands on her chest and nodded in satisfaction with her reasoning ability.

However, compared to the problem of identity exposure, Sifang Diezi, who hadn't sent a call for several days, picked up the phone with anticipation, and looked at the second message from Harutaki Xingchuan——

[Harutaro: [picture]]

Eh?

"Hey hey hey—?!"

Although it was taken through shorts as before, but...

She found a tape measure that had not been used for a long time from the tool drawer of the desk, and after pulling it out for a certain distance and getting stuck, she stuck the metal strip to her stomach tremblingly with her left hand.

Gollum.

Looking at the bold numbers on the measuring tape in reality and selfies, the girl subconsciously swallowed——

Will...will be pierced, right?

Can't get in!No matter how you look at it, you can't get in, right? !

The experience that classmates and friends usually talk about with their boyfriend is completely different from this!

if... only if...

She, Sifang Diezi will never betray Elder Brother.

It's just that if you are with Xingchuan-no, you are threatened by Xingchuan and forcefully pressed down...

Thinking about it, she was lying sideways on the soft quilt, holding the phone in one hand, and slowly stretching the other hand down.

It's all Xingchuan's responsibility.

That's right, it's Xingchuan who sent her this kind of selfie...

Even if Elder Brother knew about it, he wouldn't reprimand her, would he?

With Elder Brother's gentleness, even if she is really defiled by Xingchuan, he will definitely not despise her, right?

?

He, Kaoru Sato is a very ordinary and ordinary boy, he knew this extremely painful and realistic point very early on.

Since I was a child, I was bullied because I couldn't beat the strongest child in fights, and I couldn't pass the exams of children of the same age from my parents and friends...

He is no different from ordinary people, and he should follow the life trajectory of ordinary people. He will probably enter an ordinary middle school step by step, enter a high school with a deviation value in the middle, and finally enter a well-known local university.

Immediately after graduating from university and looking for a job, become a grassroots employee of a certain company like your parents, learn from your predecessors, strictly follow the instructions of the leader, and may be transferred to a strange place at a certain period because of lack of ability or offending the boss. Have any complaints, and even thank the boss for his cultivation and lessons——

He should have embarked on such a mediocre path similar to all living beings, but when he was a child, at his grandmother's house in Kyoto, he met an existence that changed his life.

Many years ago, due to his parents' work being transferred to other places, he, the young Kaoru Sato, had to be sent to his grandmother's house in Kyoto to take care of him.And precisely because of this, he also met his only childhood sweetheart in Kyoto——

Quartet butterflies.

The girl has a stubborn and domineering personality. Compared to him who is mediocre, introverted, and bullied by other children, Diezi is like the bright moon that hangs high in the starry night sky but can overshadow all the stars...

She is so special, so dazzling, and so unattainable, but she has become like a younger sister, and she has been by his side until she went to junior high school.

He clicked on Twitter and entered the latest group photo update on Diezi's account.

The girl in the photo is holding hands with her classmates, while raising her head slightly, her gem-like crystal-clear dark golden eyes are smiling and looking at the camera, and her free hands are like the customary scissors when taking selfies.

Looking at the girl's golden chrysanthemum-like smile that can bring positive and optimistic emotions to others, he, Kaoru Sato couldn't help but recall the scene of the two being together when they were young.

"Brother, you are so stupid, have you been bullied by other children again? Brother who can't fight, you can't do without us by your side."

The boy with a Band-Aid on his head sat there pitifully leaning against the fence, facing the girl's concern like a joke, showing aggrieved and dissatisfied expression.

"Brother, did you get this score? We have always got full marks!"

After the exam papers were handed out, the girl deftly pulled out the paper that the boy was clutching from under her arm, pointing at the numbers on the two horizontal lines and couldn't help laughing.

"Brother is so stupid, didn't the teacher talk about this problem in class? No, no, that's not the case! Let us be smart to tell brother what to do."

The boy, who was biting the wooden pole of a pencil and was troubled by the way of solving the problem, successfully wrote the answer under the tireless guidance of the girl who was two years younger than him and one grade lower than him.

How lucky is he, who is so stupid and mediocre, to meet Diezi, a rare childhood sweetheart in this world?

Even grandma reminded him many times because of Diezi——

"Ah Xun, he is not from the same world as us, so don't really fall in love with that child..."

"Ah Xun, although Diezi is a good child, you should stay away from her from now on..."

When he was a child, he still couldn't understand the blunt and cruel meaning of his grandmother's words, he only thought that it was the old man's nagging as always.

But as he got older, he gradually realized the significance of his childhood sweetheart who was so dazzling and outstanding among the crowd, and his surname "Sifang".

He, Kaoru Sato, is not good enough for her, Sifang Diezi.

But he didn't want to just give up like this, and he didn't want to add another stroke of failure to his ordinary life, which had finally had a little ups and downs——

He must work hard, he must become a man worthy of the Quartet butterfly.

Therefore, just when his father was transferred back to the headquarters, he also returned to Tokyo, devoted himself to studying hard, and was admitted to Hitani High School, which is known as the gathering of the top [-]% of the Tokyo Metropolitan High School. Top ten schools for outstanding students.

However, after entering Rigu High School, he realized how naive he used to be.

He is just an ordinary person, and he can pass the entrance examination with far more effort than ordinary people, but no matter how hard he studies and solves the problems, he is only ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the grade, and he can only look up to the unattainable names of the top ten students.

At that time, almost lost hope, he got encouragement from the seniors of the literature department.Originally, he just wanted to experience the club life in high school, but with the encouragement of his seniors and the help of borrowing study notes, he had to devote his only free time to the activities of the Literature Department.

Even though his talent is mediocre and ordinary, Kaoru Sato is not an ungrateful guy——

Otherwise, Diezi would look down on him, right?

And under the guidance of his seniors, he also gradually fell in love with the activities of the Literature Department and the rich spiritual world in the book.

In the novel, even if there is a huge gap in identity, the hero and heroine can finally come together through hard work.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was able to make a great achievement from being a poor peasant who was nicknamed a "monkey" to becoming a "man of the world" admired and worshiped by countless people. Why couldn't he be born as a commoner and become a man worthy of Diezi?

However, what surprised him was that his childhood sweetheart, Sifang Diezi, who was like a younger sister, came to Tokyo from Kyoto, and was directly admitted to the same high school as him——

Ah, sure enough.

When he saw the words "Sifang Diezi" appearing on the top ten ranking list of the first grade, he couldn't help feeling like this in his heart.

The gap between geniuses and mortals is obvious.

How playful and mischievous she is in private, his "elder brother" knows it all.And it was just this kind of her who easily reached a height that he could not even dream of.

He realized this intuitively again, and couldn't help thinking of giving up for a while. Even Diezi sent a message to him, but he didn't dare to click on it like an ostrich, for fear that the dialogue bubble would change from "unread" to "read." "The prompt exposed his cowardice.

"Diezi's grades have declined a bit recently... Is it because she has been left out in the cold?"

He muttered to himself, as if he could get the comfort of confessing to the gods by saying it.

"Let's call her. Although the senior said that words can express everything, if you can't hear each other's voices, you will always feel that something is missing."

beep--

beep - beep -

click.

"Hmm... hello? Brother?"

Butterfly's cute and slightly mischievous voice came from the receiver.

"Die, Diezi... I'm sorry to call you at this hour..."

"Um...no—it's okay, brother, do you have anything important to do with us?"

Why do you feel that Diezi's tone seems a little...not normal?

He suppressed a trace of doubt in his heart and asked with concern.

"Are you not feeling well, Diezi? If you are not feeling well, hang up first. It is better to rest earlier."

"Umm... I'm not uncomfortable at all!"

The girl's tone suddenly became a little excited, and the volume became much louder.

"Brother, you are finally willing to take the initiative to call, even if you are not feeling well, we will not hang up."

"I just, uh, just want to care about Diezi, how are you doing recently?"

"not good."
