Chapter 362 Flower Rain
Chapter 362 Flower Rain
?
The last trace of withered color on the branches in the courtyard was quietly wiped away by a slight breeze.
On December 30th, students welcomed the last day to stay in school this year.
There is no sadness, nor melancholy.
The boys and girls all mentioned beautiful words like "spring break trip", "liked person" and "future", as if to fight against the brief separation.
It's time to go home from school.
More than half of the students on campus have left, but there are still many who remain. Their throbbing hearts are filled with worries and concerns of varying sizes.
"Student Su Qing, this semester is over. Can I take a photo with you if it's convenient?"
In Class C, a girl stopped Su Qing who was about to leave with a generous and relaxed smile on her face.
As she spoke, she took out her phone and kept scrolling through the photos of her and other classmates in the album, as if to explain something. She smiled and said:
"I've almost finished taking group photos with my classmates. I just took a look...it seems like you're the only one missing?"
The girl's eyes were filled with anticipation.
At this moment, probably no one except myself knows whether this sentence is true or not.
wrong.
Su Qing knew that the most basic use of [Absolute Sense of Smell] was to distinguish good from evil and to discern truth from falsehood.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the girl for a few seconds without saying anything.
This was a lie, but it was not malicious. If it was before, he probably would have no reason to refuse, because it was nothing, but now it was no longer possible.
"Sorry, that's not going to work."
"Hey, why? It's just a very ordinary photo between classmates!" The girl blinked and asked in confusion.
"Maybe it's because... the first photo should be left to someone more important?" Su Qing suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes fixed on the flaxen girl leaning against the door without blinking.
"Forget it, I was just kidding. Anyway, it's really inconvenient for me."
Su Qing left after saying this without even looking back.
He didn't care whether this sentence would be understood as perfunctory by the other party.
But that can’t be said, after all, the reason for rejection is already there.
……
"Going home?" Seeing Su Qing walking towards her step by step, the curve of Mahiru's lips rose little by little.
"If you have nothing else to do, please accompany me to visit the school again." Su Qing said.
"it is good."
Mahiru nodded slightly and did not refuse.
But deep down, she was wondering how Su Qing had said what she was about to say first?
Walk out of the teaching building and walk all the way to the courtyard on the fine snow.
Although the trees in the courtyard are already bald, fortunately it has been snowing in the past few days, and the branches are full of new snow.
The breeze blew gently, and the snow made a slight friction sound, and then fell like fallen flowers.
The scene was like a rain of white flowers, very touching.
The temperature outside is no higher than that inside, and the air is filled with a slight chill that makes people want to curl up.
Mahiru let out a light breath and pulled her scarf up a little.
She glanced at Su Qing from time to time, still a little concerned in her heart, but still pretended to ask casually:
"Just now someone seemed to want to take a photo with you?"
"Well, it should be."
"What do you mean by should?"
Mahiru was helpless.
My boyfriend is sometimes too strict.
"Sure, sure." Su Qing smiled and changed his tone.
"Why don't you agree? I don't care about this kind of thing. Besides, we are classmates after all..."
Mahiru had a confused and worried expression.
Taking photos together is not considered to be something out of the ordinary, but of course holding hands, hugging, etc. are not allowed.
Well...it’s not a good idea to take photos too close.
Apart from that, Mahiru didn't mind at all. She was just a little worried that Su Qing refused because of her.
After all, this kind of thing can be big or small, and the gossip behind classmates’ backs is still based on the principle that less is better.
Su Qing didn't answer, but just asked: "There should be people in your class taking this kind of group photo, right?"
"That's right... a few people came to me, but they were all girls, so I didn't refuse them."
Mahiru tilted her head. There were boys who approached her before, but she rejected them all.
Plus, since she was with Su Qing this semester, it was normal that no one came to see her.
"But if a boy comes, I will refuse. After all, there is no reason to agree. I am not familiar with them."
At this point, Mahiru also somewhat understood what Su Qing meant, but she still muttered quietly,
"But boys and girls are still different. If you do that, people might say you're stingy, unmanly, or something like that.
After all, girls are actually quite vindictive and cunning in private. "
Women understand women better than men.
This is actually why Hime Ebina fell in love with BL literature.
"Then let them talk." Su Qing shrugged, looking indifferent.
The question is just a matter of personality.
"what……"
Mahiru wanted to say something, but Su Qing suddenly held her hand tightly.
The warm touch was like an electric current that instantly penetrated the girl's newly organized words.
"Zhu, do you want to take a photo with me?
This should be the last time I wear the school uniform this year, so I’ll keep it as a souvenir.”
Su Qing pointed to a large banyan tree not far in front of him, which was located in front of the lake.
Until now there are still many people queuing up to take pictures.
If unfortunately you don't have any friends, people usually choose to ask the next person to help.
The trust and tacit understanding between college students are so simple and unpretentious.
Upon hearing this, Mahiru's eyes fell on the couple in front of the banyan tree, and he looked dazed for a moment.
Seeing this, Su Qing lowered his head and moved closer to her. Mahiru could even smell a faint fragrance emanating from her body.
Even in the dead of winter, the person you love always carries the fragrance of green grass on a lawn in midsummer.
"Don't want it?"
Su Qing asked softly.
The cold current had already caused the tips of her ears to turn a faint pink, and the gentle voice lingered in Mahiru's fair ears. For a moment, she actually felt that the boy was acting coquettishly to her.
As a result, the pink color on the tips of the girl's ears became even darker.
Mahiru pulled her scarf higher and glanced up at Su Qing, "Should this photo be put in our 'book'?"
"Since it's said to be a commemoration, then of course I'll take it." Su Qing said as a matter of course.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go! Otherwise there will be too many people around!"
……
No one else was allowed to take the photo.
When they were queuing, Su Qing noticed that Hikigaya was also queuing, and was right in front of them, and following him was naturally Ayaka.
"Don't leave after the shooting is over, help us shoot a few more." Su Qing didn't give Hikigaya any room to refuse.
"What? I can't hear you." Hikigaya still wanted to play dumb to tease Su Qing.
Su Qing glanced at Hikigaya and said casually, "I'll take a picture of you that looks more handsome later..."
"What are you talking about? It's the right thing to do to help a friend!" Hikigaya put his hand on Su Qing's shoulder and said in a very low voice, "Good brother, I'll leave it to you for a while! This is also the first photo of me and her!"
Passionate and energetic young people always have an inexplicable obsession with being the first.
First place, first photo, and first time...
Many years later, we will never know whether the moment we no longer care about the first place is the so-called "growth" or some kind of compromise...
Su Qing originally wanted to childishly take one photo, one that was not good-looking, and one that was good-looking.
But when he caught a glimpse of Hikigaya's excited eyes, he just nodded heavily in the end.
When I moved my gaze, I saw Ayaka, whose face was blushing. She was in a dilemma whether to look at Hachiman or not.
Su Qing immediately fell into deep thought.
By the way, Hachiman-chan, is it possible that Ayaka can actually hear what you said?
……
Most of the people in the queue are very quick and agile.
The good thing about college students is that they are always afraid of bothering others. Their catchphrase is usually "Thank you, thank you". If someone accidentally bumps into them, they won't say "Selene" but "Sorry".
And just like that, it was soon the turn of Hikigaya and Ayaka.
"Keep your back straight."
"smile."
"…Don't smile so stiffly."
"Don't smile so obscenely..."
Since he had promised Hikigaya, Su Qing tried his best to help the two take pictures.
However, the other party obviously had rarely appeared in front of the camera, so many of the photos taken were not worth looking at.
Of course the one who was not able to see was referring to Hikigaya.
"Okay, come and take a look. If you're not satisfied, I'll do it again."
Su Qing put away his phone and shouted to the two people under the tree.
"Oh, I'm so tired. I never thought taking photos could be so tiring." Hikigaya walked over while stretching his stiff shoulders and arms.
In just one or two minutes of taking pictures, he felt like an hour had passed.
If it happens again, I will definitely die!
However, when he noticed Ayaka's excited and expectant expression, he couldn't help but think:
It seems like I need to practice taking selfies in front of the mirror more often in the future...
Mirror: So?
"Okay, okay, as long as I know you are a good brother, I know you are reliable."
Hikigaya took the phone and was quite satisfied with the photos taken by Su Qing after just a quick glance.
The photo captures 90% of his handsomeness!
"give it to you."
Su Qing threw the phone to Hikigaya and walked towards the tree with Mahiru.
"Don't worry, even though this is my first time, I have confidence..." Hikigaya vowed that taking pictures was too easy!
Not to mention that both Su Qing and Mahiru are supermodels in appearance.
Su Qing seemed to have triggered a certain keyword and slowly turned around, "First time?"
"Uh, what's wrong..."
Isn't taking a photo just about pressing the shutter and finding the right angle? Um... maybe...
Hikigaya felt a little guilty when he was being watched, so he consciously handed the phone to Ayaka the next second, "Ayaka, why don't you do it..."
Su Qing nodded upon seeing this.
When he turned around, he suddenly said, "Zhou, do you think it would be more convenient to buy a selfie stick in the future?"
Mahiru ignored him, and a clear laughter sounded in her ears, like the sound of bells ringing in the wind.
"You and Hikigaya-san are so interesting."
Mahiru covered her mouth and laughed for a while, her eyes curved into crescent shapes.
Su Qing stared at the girl and smiled, and he himself started laughing for no apparent reason.
It turns out that the happiness of someone you like is like a flame, burning from one person's heart to another's heart, and it is contagious.
……
Compared to Hikigaya, Su Qing and Mahiru both behaved much more naturally.
Therefore, Caijia quickly found a suitable opportunity to press the shutter.
In the frozen picture, the girl's long hair flutters in the wind, and the smile on her face is childish yet incredibly beautiful.
The handsome boy has gentle eyes. Although he is looking at the camera, he always gives people the feeling that he is looking at the girl next to him.
A rain of flowers was falling behind the two of them.
After taking the photos, Hikigaya and Ayaka left first.
Mahiru and Su Qing were sitting on a bench not far away. Mahiru was still looking down at his phone, muttering to himself:
"I'll print this one out and stick it inside the 'book'..."
It looks like she really likes that photo.
"This semester is over." Su Qing said.
"Well, it feels like time has passed so quickly. I've never felt this way before."
Mahiru glanced at Su Qing and found that he was looking at the lake, so he followed his gaze.
"Me too." Su Qing suddenly didn't know what to say.
Gazing at the lake, you can see the water rising and falling and feel the lake breeze blowing towards you, as if you are embracing nature.
His heart also seemed to be washed by clear water, a feeling he had never experienced before.
"Actually, I'm never very happy at this time in the past." Mahiru suddenly said softly, unconsciously tightening her grip on Su Qing's hand.
"The second and third semesters were very short, only about 10 days. When the new semester started, everyone came to school in groups, and I was the only one who was alone."
"I'll be here for you from now on." Su Qing's voice was gentle and yet heavy like a promise. "I heard that the cherry blossoms here will bloom in April next year, just like when it rains. I'll bring you here to take pictures then."
After a pause, Su Qing added:
"Of course, we have to wash it out and stick it in our 'book'."
Mahiru turned her head to look at Su Qing, or to be more precise, saw her in Su Qing's eyes.
The sunlight slanted in, interweaving various colorful streams of light in the caramel color.
Mahiru thought that this was a scene she would never forget in her life.
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it!"
Suddenly, Mahiru didn't feel cold anymore. She put down her scarf and a bright smile appeared on her face.
The north wind arose suddenly, and the snow rustled nearby. The sky in the distance was a deep blue, winding all the way to the warm southern coast.
Girls are born as a bouquet of flowers.
Su Qing thought.
Looking at Mahiru's smiling face.
A rain of flowers fell all over the world.
