The blue sky is rolling with white clouds, and pink cherry blossoms are filling the streets like heavy snow. Tokyo in April is like a gorgeous watercolor painting. Just a glance at it will make you feel brighter.
But Qingshui You, who has lived here since childhood, has long been tired of such scenery, and her mood at the moment can be said to be quite gloomy.
On the way to school, Qingshui You sighed like a wilted cabbage. Her request for an advance of pocket money from her mother at home was rejected, and there were only a few coins left in her piggy bank.
This made her, who was recently obsessed with "Psychic Detective Notes", not even have the money to buy the latest issue of the novel.
Of course, she didn't mean to blame her mother, she just complained a little about why she spent money without restraint before...
Fortunately, Qingshui You was optimistic by nature. After a short while of self-pity, she immediately cheered up and began to think about how to solve the problem.
Generally speaking, there are only a few ways for high school students to get money. In addition to pocket money, there are scholarships and part-time jobs. The scholarship option was first excluded by Shimizu Yu. She still has self-knowledge. Although she has a super high appearance that can score 95 points, and a very impressive kendo level of more than 90 points, these cannot change the fact that she is actually a poor student.
So there is only one option for Qingshui You.
Qingshui You clenched his white fist and raised his head excitedly. His beautiful almond eyes flashed with determination. He had decided! He would not join the club this semester and would go to work after school!
The decision was made just now, and the hesitation began in the next second, because at the moment he looked up, a familiar thing appeared in Qingshui You's field of vision.
It was a book, and the cover he vaguely saw was also familiar. Qingshui You had a flash of inspiration in his mind, ah... Isn't that "Psychic Detective Notes"! Qingshui You quickly turned his eyes to the person who was walking and reading the book.
The other person was wearing the school uniform of the same school as him, with a very tall figure. He could see a little bit of his profile from the side and back. His skin was fair and his features were also very beautiful. Qingshui You immediately remembered the other person's name.
Hoshino Gen, his classmate!
Although the school had just started, Qingshui You had a very deep impression of this boy in the same class. It had nothing to do with his behavior. After all, this boy usually sat alone in his seat and read quietly in the class. He was so quiet that Qingshui You had never even heard him speak! Even though many girls took the initiative to talk to him because of his English-Japanese mixed-race appearance, he just stared at her until he stared at the person and left, he was a very strange person.
But such a person has an incredible twin sister - the popular idol, Rin Hoshino, who has never appeared in school except for the entrance ceremony, but has always been the center of school topics.
Yes, this guy has a very cute idol sister! It's really jealous!
But the important thing is not this! It's that this guy also reads "Psychic Detective Notes". Are we actually in the same boat? ! In this case, as a classmate, can I borrow his books for free as long as I have a good relationship with him? Then I can avoid the hard work of part-time jobs and continue to participate in the kendo club with my good friend Suzuki Zemi, and go to the national competition in the summer vacation like in junior high school...
Thinking of this, Shimizu Yu's eyes have become sparkling. She trotted two steps and shouted loudly to the front: "Hoshino-san!"
The boy in front paused and turned back slightly, showing the delicate and beautiful face like a doll in front of Shimizu Yu, especially the left eye that was like a clear sapphire embedded in the eye socket, as if it was compared to the blue sky at this moment.
Oh, this guy has the same rare heterochromia as his idol sister. Shimizu Yu felt a little jealous, she also wanted to have such handsome eyes.
Facing the gaze of the pair of heterochromatic eyes, Qingshui You cheered up and ran to the side of Hoshino Gen with full of energy, and said enthusiastically: "Hoshino classmate, you also took this road when you went to school. I haven't seen you before!" The boy smiled at her and didn't mean to speak. Qingshui You was sweating in his heart. Here it comes. This expression called "death smile" by the girls in the class makes the person facing it extremely embarrassed. I just want to get away from it quickly-but! In order to have books to read without working part-time, this lady will definitely let you speak today! Taking a deep breath and suppressing the urge to tap her toes on the ground, Qingshui You walked side by side with Hoshino Gen, and at the same time, she smiled more enthusiastically and familiarly: "Do you also live in the nearby town?" The boy still just smiled, but he had already closed the book in his hand. At this moment, Qingshui You also saw clearly that what this guy was holding in his hand was the latest issue of "Psychic Detective Notes" that she had been thinking about! The expression on his face immediately turned into unnatural surprise, and the word "want" was almost written on his face. Shimizu Yu suppressed his excitement and said, "Oh! So you are also reading this book, I like it very much too! Hey - have you read the latest issue? I just finished reading the last issue. I wonder if the mother-in-law in the Taisho era waited for her husband..."
As soon as Qingshui You finished speaking, Hoshino Gen suddenly jumped up, and then he jumped to the other side of Qingshui You who was standing side by side. He lowered his body and pressed her shoulders with both hands, and with a little force, he made her face away from him to expand the shielding area. In a flash, a car sped past, and a large piece of brown mud flew out of the sewage puddle left by the heavy rain last night, covering Qingshui You's body and face.
Qingshui You's expression became blank, and she turned her body stiffly to look at Hoshino Gen who was spotless behind her.
Hoshino Gen calmly handed the "Spirit Detective Notes" in his hand to Qingshui You with both hands, and said solemnly: "Thank you."
After speaking, Hoshino Gen had already stepped into the taxi parked not far away, and then in a few blinks, he and the car disappeared in Qingshui You's trance and confused vision.
...
Qingshui You was almost mad, not only because Hoshino Gen used her to block the dirt and mud, but also because she was late as expected after she went home to clean up and change clothes! As a punishment, she ran around the 400-meter playground of the school several times, and she was almost exhausted by the end!
During the break of the first class, Qingshui You didn't even read the latest issue of "Psychic Detective Notes" that she had been thinking about. She just sat in her seat and stared fiercely at a certain unscrupulous bastard sitting by the window in the front row.
That boy pretends to be cool at school every day, but in fact he is a bastard who can even use a beautiful girl to block mud!
"Xiaoyou, why are you so late today... Hey? What's wrong with you? Why do you look so fierce?"
The voice of Suzuki Zemei, a good friend, sounded in Qingshui You's ears. Qingshui You turned his eyes and saw a plump and beautiful girl standing in front of him, with a curious face.
When asked by his good friend, Qingshui You's expression suddenly collapsed. He didn't want to let her know about his embarrassing things. Suzuki Zemei saw this and turned her eyes and looked in the direction of Qingshui You's just now. In an instant, a thoughtful look appeared on her pretty face: "You were bullied by him?"
Qingshui You pouted his lips, indicating that he didn't want to talk.
Suzuki Zemei, however, looked excited as if he was afraid of chaos in the world…..
After hearing this, Suzuki Zemei slammed the table and said indignantly: "Too much! Is he still a man?!"
She was full of righteousness and willing to help her friends. Of course, if her eyes were not so bright and her mouth was not so raised, it would be more credible.
The noise attracted the attention of many classmates in the class, but Suzuki Zemei didn't care. She waved her hand, patted Qingshui You's shoulder and said: "Don't worry, this lady will help you avenge this!"
"..." Qingshui You looked at her sideways.
