Chapter 6 first quarter

The next day, the local pages of the newspaper reported Shiizaki's accident.Since Kyo also brought the newspaper to school, Akauchi finished reading the report before the first class started.The headline of the report is "Family Dog Runaway", and the length is very short. "Kyoya, have you been questioned many times by the police since that incident? It must be something like eyewitness testimony." "Okay, but what we're talking about is not very important. Because I didn't see the moment of the accident." "Huh? Really?" Akino, who was reading a newspaper, raised his head subconsciously.

"I thought you, Hiroko, and Hasumi-san saw it besides me." Yesterday, Jing Jing learned the sad news of Yang Jie from Qiu Nei.At that time, among the four present, Kyoya, Hiroko, Tomoka, and Akinai, none of them knew Mirror's cell phone number or the phone number of the laboratory, so Akino had to ride a road racing car to find her in Mirror's laboratory.Of course, now that I think about it, since Ajiujin knew the contact information of the mirror, he only needed to call ACT to ask for the mirror's number.However, Qiu Nei, who was in extreme chaos at the time, didn't think of this, he just stomped his pedals and ran towards the university.

Qiu Nei told the mirror exactly what happened.After listening to the mirror, there was no blood on his face.She immediately contacted the fire department and asked about the hospital where Yang Jie was.After Mirror hung up the phone, he immediately called the taxi company, called an emergency car, and immediately rushed out of the research room.Qiu Nei guessed that the police were collecting witness information, and hurried back to the scene of the accident.But after arriving at the scene, Jingye and the three of them had already disappeared. A uniformed police officer in charge stopped Qiu Nei and asked him what he knew about the traffic accident.Qiu Nai said that he witnessed the moment of the accident.Hearing what he said, the police officer immediately asked him about the details at that time.

"However, Kyoya and the others just came out of 'Nicholas' at that time, you should have seen it from the front, didn't you?" Kyo shook his head too. "We didn't see the moment of the accident. I was playing around on the stairs when I came out of 'Nicholas', when suddenly there was a loud brake sound. All three of us were startled and hurried Running downstairs. But at that time, we didn't know what happened. There were a lot of cars in front of us, and the truck was parked there, so we couldn't see the situation on the opposite side of the truck."

"Huh? The vehicles on the side of 'Nicholas' also noticed the accident, so they all stopped?" "That's right. Then, in the midst of the chaos, I saw Yosuke being pulled out from under the truck, and then I saw the dog run off on a leash. That's when we finally realized what happened just now matter." Akauchi recalled the moment of the accident.Obi who ran away suddenly, Yosuke who was covered in cuts and bruises, the sharp braking sound resounding in all directions, and the deadly dull sound mixed in these sounds. "It's better if everyone didn't see that moment. I saw it, but I've never seen that scene in my life... Ah, good morning!"

Hiroko walked over from the other side of Kyoya, she whispered "Good morning", then raised her head and looked at Kyoya intently. "Kyoya, why didn't you call me last night? You made me wait so long." "Ah, sorry, I forgot." "When I think of Yang Jie's accident, I feel terrified. I've been alone..." Hiroko realized that Qiuuchi was also there, so he only spoke half of what he had said. "I'm going to buy something to drink..." "It's okay, Akina." Kyoya grabbed the collar of Akina's shirt with his fingers, motioned him to sit down, and then turned to Hiroko.

"Then why don't you call me?" "I called. I called, but your line is always busy." At this time, Jing also sighed and said, "Ah, I'm on the phone with my dad." "My dad called me and asked me to go back during the Obon festival." "You and your dad talked on the phone for so long?" Qiu Nei asked. "That's the thing. Every time he would tell me about the company. Something like 'it's time to tell you about the structure of the company', 'what do you want to do by then'. We always Arguing about this, 'You want to take over my class', 'I don't take over', 'You want to take over my career', 'Don't take over'..."

Kyo repeated it again, then turned to Hiroko. "That's what it is. Sorry." Hiroko stared at Kyoya intently, showing suspicion on his face. "I said Kyoya, that..." Hiroko was about to say something when Zhijia walked into the classroom and she greeted Hiroko.Hiroko quickly put on a smiling face, turned around, and responded to her with a cheerful tone.At this time, Zhijia stopped suddenly, and then walked in front of them without any scruples.She looked at Hiroko first, then at Kyoya, almost like a "brother" standing up for her "sister". "what are you doing?"

Jing also flinched very rarely, he cautiously tested Zhijia, but before he could figure out why she came, Hiroko spoke. "Don't do anything. I just want to tell you about what happened yesterday—about Yosuke-kun." "That's right, Kyoya bought a newspaper. Look, here it is. Read the report." Even though it had nothing to do with him, Qiu Nei was still on the sidelines.He pointed to the newspaper with his finger. Zhijia's eyes fell on the newspaper. "Huh? Such a small section?" Biting her lip, she spread the newspaper on the table and read it for a while.

"Hazumi-san, are you going to mourn Yang Jie-kun today too?" "I want to go... Hiroko, are you going?" "I'll go as well." After Hiroko finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Kyoya.Kyo nodded too. "I'll go too. The four of us will go together." "The two of us should go." Hiroko said suddenly. Qiuuchi felt that Hiroko might want to create conditions for him.She wants him to go with Zhijia.Although the occasion is somewhat wrong. ——Hiroko really cared for me.However, I always feel a little... wrong!She didn't want to promote Zhijia and me, if she did, her expression shouldn't be so serious.

"Why? Isn't it good for four people to go together?" Kyo also said, then smiled slightly.Hiroko kept her mouth tightly shut, as if she had something to say but couldn't.The scene suddenly fell into a strange silence.Finally, Hiroko seemed to give up her original idea, she sighed and said. "Okay, let's do it." Hiroko left Kyoya behind, turned and walked towards the back of the classroom.She found a seat in the last row of the classroom and sat down quietly.Kyo also stared at Hiroko, watching her every move.Zhijia looked at Kyoya, then at Hiroko.It looked like she was going to say something, but in the end she said nothing.Zhijia turned and left, sat down beside Hiroko, and spread out the textbooks on the table without saying a word.Hiroko beside her also did not speak. "What's the matter? What happened between you and Hiroko?" Qiu Nei asked in a low voice.Jing also said "nothing happened", and then sat down lazily. "Nothing happened? Seriously? But I always feel that Hiroko is a little strange today." "Are you done yet?" Jing also raised his eyebrows on purpose, and then imitated Qiu Nei's voice and said, "Look, here it is. Read this report." "It has nothing to do with you when we talk, why are you coaxing?!" "No, that... yes, it must be because Hazumi-san's eyes were too scary just now, that's why I..." "Ah, her eyes are indeed terrifying." Jing also folded her arms and nodded, "She must be worried about Hiroko." "The two of them have been good friends for many years. Zhijia may have regarded her as his younger sister." "No, maybe not. I think Tomoka just doesn't want Hiroko to repeat the mistakes she made in high school." "Huh? What did you say?" Qiu Nei moved closer to Kyoya, showing an expression of wanting to "gossip to the end".Kyo also glanced at him impatiently. "I didn't ask about the specifics. Hiroko had a boyfriend in high school, and that guy seemed to have suffered a lot because of him." "Have you suffered a lot?" "I've said it all, I don't know the specific situation. Anyway, that man seems to be a playboy, which is probably the case. Then, at that time, Zhijia wanted to comfort Hiroko..." Kyo also clenched his fist and stretched it out in front of Akina with a "poof". "Beat the man hard." "Beating?" "in the classroom." "in the classroom?" "Parrot, you?" "Parrot?" "you idiot." Qiu Nei couldn't help but look at Zhijia.Perhaps sensing his gaze, Zhijia, who was flipping through the book, suddenly raised her head.Just when their eyes were about to meet, Akauchi hurriedly turned to Kyoya. ——Zhijia beat up the man.Not for himself, but for Hiroko. "Hazumi-san is really gentle." "You really are hopeless." At this moment, Qiu Nei inadvertently discovered a problem. "I mean Kyoya, what's the name of the guy who was beaten up by Hazumi-san?" "What's the name? Ah, let me think about it... I think it's called Kiuchi." it is as expected. Qiuuai remembered what Hiroko had said to him before.Hiroko said that the reason why Tomoka used "Jing-kun" to refer to Qiuui was because in high school, Tomoka "had some things" with a boy named "Kiuchi".That's why Zhijia was annoyed by the pronunciation of the name "Qiu Nei".Before that, Akauchi always thought that this guy named Kiuchi was Tomoka's boyfriend, and thought that "something happened" refers to those things that happened in the relationship.It seems that Qiu Nei was wrong.It was actually Hiroko who was dating that man.Akauchi completely misunderstood what Hiroko meant. "In that case, Hasumi-san hasn't had that kind of experience yet, so she might still be 'that'..." "What are you mumbling about?" "No, no, no, no matter how you say her experience in this area can't be 'zero'... Yes, it's definitely not 'zero'..." ——Although Zhijia was not hurt by the guy named Kiuchi, she still had a heart for the pronunciation of "Akiuchi".Isn't that great?Doesn't this just show that she is a girl with deep affection and righteousness?Doesn't this just show that she has an extremely kind heart? "No, maybe she's just the kind of energetic person..." Yosuke's wake was scheduled to be held at Shiizaki's house at six o'clock in the afternoon. Akinuchi, Kyoya, Hiroko, and Tomoka walked into Shiizaki's house, which was covered with white lanterns.Even though the door was open, Akauchi clearly felt the change in the surrounding atmosphere the moment he stepped into the door.He felt as if he had stepped into a foreign world.The air became heavy, and sorrow so dense that it was almost palpable filled the room.Whimpers and sobs echoed through the mourning.There were cries one after another, including the wailing of adults and the wailing of children. Among the guests who came to express their condolences were students and teachers from Sagamino University, who greeted Akunai and the others with an ambiguous attitude.The four of them walked to a Japanese-style room deep in the room, and stopped behind the line waiting to burn incense and worship. Yang Jie lying in the coffin is very beautiful.Despite suffering from that accident, his face doesn't appear to be injured.His complexion was paler than in life, like a mannequin with hair. Yang Jie's mother, Mirror, was wrapped in a black dress, kneeling quietly on one side of the altar.Whenever the condolence guests finish burning incense, she will bow slowly to them in return.Her movements are so precise and consistent that it feels like she's just doing the same thing over and over again. After burning the incense, Qiu Nei and the others immediately walked out of the entrance.It's not a place to stay for long. Akinuchi originally planned to ask the mirror about yesterday's bicycle delivery.Yesterday, Akauchi was going to pick up some books from the mirror's research room, but Yosuke had an accident suddenly, which made Akunai forget all about picking up the goods. —What happened to those books?Has it been sent to the recipient? On one side next to the porch, a dog house was built.This doghouse with its red gabled roof curls up in the nighttime air. "Where did Obi go?" Zhijia glanced at the dog house and muttered. "Have you found Obi yet? Do you know?" Qiu Nei and the others shook their heads ambiguously. Yesterday, Obi escaped from the scene of the accident, what happened after that?Have you found it yet?Is it protected somewhere? The four left Shiizaki's house without saying a word.They stopped on the dark road and turned around to look from afar.I saw a beautiful full moon hanging in the sky, as bright as if it had been washed by someone. "The sea, under the influence of the moon's gravity, sometimes becomes deeper and sometimes becomes shallower." At that time, Yang Jie did not show the slightest complacency, he was just full of interest in the sea.He said happily that when he grows up, he must study the sea.He didn't use the word "I intend", he used "I will".Although semantically, the difference between the two is very small, but the meanings contained in these two words are quite different.In Qiu Nei's memory, since childhood, he has never used the word "I want" to describe his "future", not even once.Even when talking to himself, Qiuuai never used this word. "Yang Jie-kun will definitely become an outstanding scholar in the future." It was not Akinai who said this, but Hiroko.It seemed that she was also thinking about the same problem. Against the backdrop of the bright full moon, the triangular roof with Western architectural style is like a silhouette painting, floating in the air.Qiu Nei looked at those roofs and suddenly remembered something. "Obie's dog house is literally a miniature version of these houses." Shiizaki's house is a two-story building, very long, with a red triangle roof, exactly the same as the dog house they saw just now.At first glance, it looks like a rectangular roof with a triangular roof. "Where is Yosuke's room?" Zhijia said as if talking to herself.Jing also stretched out his slender index finger and pointed to a place on the second floor.Zhijia moved to Jingya's right hand and looked in the direction of his finger.Kyoya's shoulders were exactly at the same height as Tomoka's face. "There, the part of the second floor closest to us." "So, if you look down from the window, you can see Obi." "Maybe." "As long as Obi is here, Yosuke-kun will not feel lonely. Even though he is the only child in this single-parent family." "I'm fine even if I don't have a dog." Zhijia turned to Kyoya, stared at him for a few seconds, and then whispered "I'm sorry".As for what Jing also said later, and how Zhijia apologized, Qiu Nei didn't understand for a moment.But he remembered immediately.Jing also lost his mother when he was very young, and he also grew up in a single-parent home.Qiu Nei remembered that Kyoya told him that Kyoya's mother seemed to have died of terminal illness such as liver cancer. "It's okay, I'm not angry." Kyoya looked at Shiizaki's house and said briefly. "Forget it, when it comes to companions who depend on each other, humans are better than dogs. Isn't it?" "Does Yang Jie-kun have many friends at school?" "It's not so much having few friends as having almost no friends." "Kyoya-kun, you know really well..." At this time, Hiroko who was standing next to Akinai and Kyoya sighed. "Let's go now. No matter how long you stand here, the end result will be the same." Akauchi felt that Hiroko's speech was somewhat abrupt, so he couldn't help but look at her.Hiroko seemed to have noticed Akauchi's gaze, and she ran her hand through her hair before turning her back.Qiu Nei felt that her expression seemed a little stiff. "Shall we find a place to sit? Everyone hasn't eaten yet, have they?" When Hiroko turned around again, the gentle smile of the past was on her face again. ——What happened to her expression just now?Since this morning, Hiroko has been acting strangely. "Is there a place to eat within walking distance of us?" Kyoya, who was dressed in mourning, folded her arms and fell into deep thought.The watch exposed from the black cuff does not seem to be the kind of sports watch that is usually worn. The silver appearance gives people a heavy feeling, and it should look like an expensive high-end product.Qiu Nei vaguely saw a string of characters beginning with "RO" engraved on the dial. "Ah, there is a restaurant opposite." Jing also took the lead and walked in front.The four of them strolled along the silent road. "By the way, Kyoya, you said that you had an argument with your father on the phone last night. Can't you still get along with your father?" "The only ones who can get along well with him are his shareholders." "However, after all, he is your only close relative. Don't you feel lonely if you can't get along with him?" "Not at all." "Really." Qiu Xin thought, Jing also must be lying. What happened three months ago is still fresh in Qiu Nei's memory. "It's unbearable that my father has such a virtue." Kyo also muttered this in a low voice on the way back after spending a day at Akunai's grandfather's house.Before that, Akinai had been talking about his "grandfather", but Kyoya suddenly mentioned "his father".Qiu Nei glanced at Kyoya's side face, his face was full of loneliness. Anyway, Kyo was not telling the truth.He rarely opens his heart to others.However, under the influence of alcohol, Jing also relaxed his vigilance, and he showed a very rare expression that "can be read by people".Facing Kyoya in this state, Akinai, who is naturally dull, couldn't find the words to respond in the first place. "It's unbearable that my father has such a virtue." "It's really unbearable." The conversation between the two ended like this. "I don't know what the weather will be like tomorrow." Hiroko looked up at the night sky.Qiu Nei also raised his head accordingly.A beautiful full moon hangs in the night sky. Judging from this, it must be a sunny day tomorrow. "Hiroko, what's the matter tomorrow?" Zhijia asked. Hiroko shook his head and said "nothing".She didn't look back at Zhijia. "I think, if you haven't found Obi yet, it's better not to rain. How pitiful it will be if you get wet by the rain—Kyoya, lend me your phone." "What are you doing?" "I check the weather forecast online. My phone is out of battery." "Look, the sky is so clear. You don't need to look at the forecast to know it. It must be sunny tomorrow." "I still want to take a look - hurry up, lend me your phone." After Hiroko finished speaking, she stretched out a hand in front of Kyoya.But Kyoya just repeated what he said just now. "Tomorrow will be sunny too. Just look at the sky and you'll know." He didn't look back at Hiroko. "Hiroko, let me lend you my mobile phone." Akinuchi wanted to break the delicate atmosphere in front of him, but Kyoya stopped him—"No need." Kyoya took out his flip phone from the inner pocket of his jacket, and with a rude movement Give it to Hiroko.Hiroko took the phone silently, and immediately began to operate it "crackling" in front of her.The phone screen emits a little white light, illuminating Hiroko's face hazy. "Ah...it's a sunny day...the probability of precipitation is zero percent..." "Great!" Hiroko looked at the screen and smiled.She looked up for a moment, then immediately shifted her gaze back to the screen.Hiroko quickly pressed the button a few times, and then closed the phone with a snap. "Thank you." Hiroko returned the phone to Kyoya, looking from the side, she seemed to be very happy suddenly.Does she care so much about tomorrow's weather? From then on, the four of them fell into silence, they just kept walking like this.As he walked, Qiu Nei suddenly found that Zhijia was walking beside him.A fragrance came leisurely, as if it was the smell of Hassaku orange. —Is it perfume? The mourning dress on Zhijia was a plain black suit, and a pair of low-heeled leather shoes.Under the light of the street lamps, the shoes made a slight sound on the asphalt road.That being said, Qiu Nei was the first to see Zhijia wearing shoes with heels. ——No, wait, it's the first time I've seen the skirt too. It's the first time I've seen Yuzumi's classmate's skirt. ——It's over, it's over, I almost said it.If I said it, I would definitely be regarded as a disgusting guy by her. Qiu Nei's gaze slowly moved upwards from Zhijia's feet.Slightly protruding ankles; strong yet supple calves; rhythmically moving knees—left, right, left, right—as if greeting the hem of the skirt: “Hi, first time meeting”; (after this Let us fast-forward the part for a moment) the round neck with delicate patterns embroidered; the collarbone fossa looming on the inside of the collar; the fair neck; the small chin; The red lips; the hair that flows and shakes around the cheeks in step.It's so beautiful, it's hard to believe.Although she only has short hair, between the strands of blue hair, there seems to be a commercial song for shampoo playing - Zhijia is the only woman like this in Qiu Nei's world. At the bottom of the hair, something was shining.It turned out to be a small pearl—it might be real—and it was the first time for Qiuuai to see it. "Hazumi-san, you're wearing earrings today." Qiuuai made up his mind and finally asked.Zhijia touched her earlobe with her hand. "This is earrings. I think piercing is too painful, so I don't wear earrings that need piercing." "Does ear piercing really hurt?" "Of course it hurts. I'm going to pierce you with a needle—do you think so, Hiroko?" Zhijia took a few steps forward and asked Hiroko.Hiroko turned her head and saw a pair of silver medaka fish earrings hanging from her earlobe.It was given to her by Kyoya, either a birthday present or a Christmas present. "I don't feel any pain at all." "Don't you think so?" "Well, it doesn't hurt at all." "There is still a gap in the guts of everyone." Kyo also interjected meaningfully. "The piercing needle is very thin, so it doesn't hurt at all. However, if you want to get a piercing the size of a firework, it will hurt." Kyo also glanced at Hiroko, as if asking for her opinion.Hiroko looked straight ahead and said "You idiot".Qiu Nei was surprised to see a little joy on her face.It seems that "boyfriend" is the kind of thing that makes girls happy no matter where they are or what they say. ——Is Kyoya's expressionless face and cold tone so funny?If the words just now came out of my mouth, the people around would probably think that I was just a pervert.
