Chapter 150: Yearning, Understanding, Confusion

June is a hot and humid summer.

The final exams for the second semester are coming soon.

In the classroom, Utsunomiya Shuo looked at the energetic math teacher at the podium and suddenly felt a little sleepy.

"Zhuo, the final exam is coming." Kiritani Jin, who was in the middle of the back row, reminded him from across the seat.

"Ah."

Utsunomiya Shuo responded absentmindedly.

Kanda Tomokazu, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore, so he coughed and said to Utsunomiya Shuo, "Kiritani is talking in his sleep."

Utsunomiya Shuo turned around and found that Kiritani Jin had fallen asleep on the desk, with his hands on the table holding up the math textbook to cover his face, his chin resting on a thick extracurricular book as a cushion, and crystal saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth.

When faced with something that cannot be understood, the human brain will have an escape mentality. If it cannot escape, it will feel sleepy and then naturally fall asleep.

Kanda saw that Kiritani Jin was deep in sleep, holding a book to cover the lower half of his face, and looked at the math teacher dancing on the desk, and asked quietly: "Zhuo, can I ask you a question?"

Very cautious.

Ever since the kidnapping incident the day before yesterday, the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention the incident again.

What happened this time?

Utsunomiya Zhuo rested his head on his arms, changed into a comfortable position, turned sideways to look at Kanda Tomokazu, and nodded slightly.

"Remember the one I told you about before? That's it." Kanda Tomokazu said mysteriously.

As to which one he was talking about, Zhuo had no idea.

But it doesn’t sound like it happened a few days ago, and that’s enough.

Kanda pondered for a moment, and finally asked tactfully: "Zhuo, may I ask... have you ever communicated with Fengjian Liuli?"

He used the honorific - please.

Utsunomiya Shuo looked at him and nodded silently.

"So that's how it is~~" Kanda Tomokazu exaggeratedly showed relief.

It turned out to be Kazama Ruri.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Utsunomiya Shuo still politely agreed, "That's great."

Then nothing happened.

Logically speaking, Kanda Tomokazu should have tried to ask Chao Zhuo for Kazama Ruri's contact information at this time... although he didn't.

But Kanda didn't do that.

"Admiration is the furthest distance from understanding." Kanda Tomokazu said softly, "I have already talked to her (not a typo), and I am very satisfied."

He looked at Zhuo, his expression was so sacred that he seemed to be praying: "But now I only admire her unilaterally, and I still need to work hard. We are all human beings, and if we get too close, we will find her shortcomings."

Although I don't know what he is talking about.

But Tomokazu Kanda's idea is understandable.

It is indeed as he said, there is no perfect person, everyone has shortcomings.

Besides, people will be anxious about gains and losses and become inferior in front of the person they really like... Even if it is really a fantasy, they are together without knowing each other. After a long time, many shortcomings that were originally invisible will be exposed, and gradually magnified, and finally the emotions will fade, and they will go their separate ways...

This is modern, so-called, cheap like.

All over the place.

Zhuo thought again of the inexplicable question he asked Ling last night.

"If I feel uncomfortable and have to tell you, will you tell Lu Mingze? That is the Zero you know."

At that time, even he himself did not understand why he asked such a stupid question. Before he knew it, these words that should not have been said slipped out of his mouth.

He regretted it as soon as he said it.

I didn't dare sit up to see her reaction.

However, Zhuo was very sure that Ling looked at him for a long time after hearing those words.

The final tone was as calm as ever.

'No... He won't ask.'

That was her answer.

It sounds like it's being kept secret for Zhuo, but in fact, the focus is on the second half of the sentence.

To what extent do two humans need to understand each other before they can guess how the other will react?
...Animation is the furthest distance from understanding.

That is nice.

He definitely couldn't say that he admired Zero.

As for liking him...he himself wasn't sure.

The word "like" is too common. People can have ten thousand reasons to like someone, but can also suddenly dislike someone for no reason one day.

Abundant and cheap.

How can it compare to knowing each other well without meeting each other?

As for possessiveness...

This kind of thing is not even worth mentioning.

So he just felt that his breathing was a little heavy, and what was pressing on him was not a blanket, but a stone.

That's all. "Zhuo? Zhuo?"

"Ok?"

"Are you free during lunch? Someone wants to meet you on the rooftop of the teaching building." Kanda Tomokazu said seriously, "This is also my humble request."

"Okay." Utsunomiya Shuo nodded.

"Can you please pass on a message for me?"

Kanda Tomokazu asked again, and at the same time, he picked up a pen and started writing on a piece of paper.

"..."

Only then did Zhuo remember that this guy still didn't know the real gender of Fengjian Liuli.

And if I remember correctly, this guy's competitor is Sakurai Kogure,
That's a super kill.

There is almost no chance of winning.

Pitiful.

Jingle Bell----

The lunch break bell rang.

Ignoring Kanda Tomokazu's enthusiastic smile that sounded like a business deal, Utsunomiya Shuo took out a lunch box from his desk pocket, and when he stood up, he took "Kanda's letter" with him.

Walk towards the back door.

On the way, he knocked on Kiritani Jin's head.

"Ah...ah...are we done with the exam?" Kiritani Jin said confusedly.

It seems that he has already spent the remaining half month in his dream, and now it is summer vacation.

……

Final exam of the second year of high school.

It is neither difficult nor easy.

For those who want to go to college, it is just an insignificant self-test.

On the rooftop under the sunlight, Utsunomiya Shuo and Kazama Ruri sat cross-legged together again after a long time, preparing to eat lunch.

Without Zhuo's harassment, Ren seemed to stay in the classroom to take extra lessons and prepare for the exam.

Only lonely elderly people would gather and sit together on the rooftop where the wind is strong and the sun is scorching.

Fengjian Liuli slowly and carefully took out the exquisite dishes from the bamboo basket beside her and placed them neatly on the picnic napkin where they were sitting.

He raised his head, smiled gently, and said, "Zhuo Jun, first of all, I am not an old man, and secondly, I am not an old man."

"Don't you deny that you're lonely?" Utsunomiya Zhuo watched him busying around with an expressionless face.

Feng Jian Liuli smiled and said, "Rather than saying that my brother abandoned me, it would be better to say that I abandoned my brother."

Brother, brother...

It just sounds corny.

"Really? You've worked hard." Utsunomiya Shuo saw the ice cream and didn't bother to be polite. He took it in his hand and took a bite.
