Chapter 331 A sudden strong wind (7)
"There will be a marathon in the fall. Starting from today, we will have three physical education classes per week, and the first two will be all long-distance running classes."
"ah--"
“No—”
Everyone wailed.
The physical education teacher blew the whistle hard, and then yelled, "Run around the playground for fifteen minutes, get ready now!"
"Other schools hold their marathon in the third semester, why is ours held in the second semester?"
"That's right. The weather is still so hot right now. I'll definitely faint if I run for fifteen minutes!"
"If I knew I had to go for a long run today, I would have asked for leave in advance!"
"Even if I knew one class in advance, I would skip class and go to the infirmary. It doesn't matter if I finish the marathon!"
Amid the complaints, the physical education teacher blew the whistle again, and everyone finally stood on the track.
"All boys! Attention!" The physical education teacher stood at the starting line and raised one hand.
Watanabe Toru randomly took a seat and gathered with Kunii Osamu, Saito Keisuke, and the Eye Squad Leader.
"I heard that the Human Observation Department will be performing a drama during this cultural festival?" asked the Eyes squad leader.
"Yeah, drama." Toru Watanabe replied.
"run!"
The boy rushed out.
"Run slower!" Saito Keisuke said hastily, "For 2,000 meters, a steady pace is the best! No one is allowed to run fast, just follow the main group!"
The four of them ran slowly in the middle of the large group.
"Is there a kissing scene?" Kunii Osamu asked.
"No."
"Add it in!" Kunii Osamu said anxiously, "Anyway, you have that kind of relationship with Kujo and Kiyono, and as long as you mention there's a kissing scene in the promotion, the whole school, no, people from other schools will come to watch!"
“Our drama doesn’t pursue those things.”
After that, Watanabe Toru turned around and asked Saito Keisuke: "Is your game finished?"
"Almost there!" Saito Keisuke panted slightly, "By the way, when Chichiko gave me the original painting, she said that the director of the art department dreamed about you last night."
"Dream about me? What did you dream about?"
"She said she dreamed that you forced her to revise a drawing. You asked her to draw chemical experiment equipment, and after she finished drawing it, you said it didn't match the chemical experiment you wanted to do. The head of the art department was so angry that she argued with you in her dream."
"How did you destroy others?" Kunijii Xiu asked curiously.
"How can it be called torture? It's to train her ability to withstand pressure."
"Slow down! Slow down! Don't go too fast!" Saito Keisuke shouted hurriedly.
The four of them slowly fell to the back of the crowd of boys, and the girl who ran fast was already ten meters behind them.
Toru Watanabe looked back and saw Kujo Miki running in the front, so he slowed down.
The girl next to Kujo Miki consciously made way for them and looked at the two of them with a snicker.
"What a coincidence." Kujo Miki said with a smile.
"Unfortunately, I'm waiting for you." Watanabe Toru replied.
"Over there!" The PE teacher whistled sharply, "Watanabe Toru! Run! And there are a few boys over there! Whoever is overtaken by a girl, run around the school three times!"
"Teacher, the girls were overtaken by the boys?" Toru Watanabe turned around and shouted to the physical education teacher.
At the end of the girls' team, Rin Kiyono's lovely face and her clear and moving eyes stared straight at Toru Watanabe.
"Run around the playground twice!"
"Ah! Watanabe-kun is so annoying!"
"Why are you asking?"
The girls wailed.
Several girls from the track and field club stretched out their strong legs and quickened their pace.
At the same time, the boys also increased their speed.
Kunii Osamu, Saito Keisuke, and the glasses squad leader no longer talked about keeping a constant speed and all sped up. Kunii Osamu even rushed to the first echelon in one fell swoop.
"Do you think Qingye should be punished by running?" Watanabe Toru said with a smile in his tone.
"Sure." Kujo Miki smiled.
"Great minds think alike." Toru Watanabe fully agrees.
"Toru Watanabe!" the physical education teacher roared.
After the physical education class, Qingye Rin slumped over the table.
"How pitiful." Miki Kujo held her delicate and charming little face in her hands, admiring her pale complexion with a smile.
Qing Ye Lin remained motionless, looking at her, and said weakly with just the right amount of lips:
"Men are sometimes like children, regardless of their age or status. They often have childish ideas and never tire of doing so, even obsessively. Bullying the people they like is one of the manifestations of this."
"After being a loser for so long, my ability to comfort myself has become so strong!" said Miki Kujo, clapping her hands with admiration on her face.
"You're not bad either." Qingye Rin replied without much interest.
After a brief confrontation between the two, Toru Watanabe, who was ordered by Kiyono Rin to buy drinks, walked in with a large pile of drinks.
"Kiyono-san, I want to see how you drink all of this," he said.
Qingye Rin took a bottle of lemon juice, took a sip, and pointed to the front of the class: "The rest, give it to the girls in the class."
After a brief pause, she added, "Except for Kujo-san."
They spend their ordinary time leisurely, attending classes and club activities, and being chased by the cultural festival programs of their class and club.
…
On the second to last Saturday before the cultural festival, Toru Watanabe and Rin Kiyono went out to purchase equipment.
The appointment was made at 10 o'clock, and Toru Watanabe arrived at Banqiao Station at 9:40.
After waiting in front of the newsstand at the exit for five minutes, Kiyono Rin walked out of the ticket gate.
It was mid-September and the weather was still hot. She wore a striped shirt and a green waist-cinching skirt.
The bottom of her shirt was tucked into her skirt, revealing her slender waist.
There were quite a few people at the exit, but Kiyono Rin, dressed simply, looked like a young model who had just walked out of a high-end fashion show.
After exiting the station, she simply looked around and walked towards Watanabe Toru, who was also attracting attention in front of the newsstand.
"Sorry for the wait," she said.
"There's no time limit for waiting for you, as long as you come." Watanabe Toru replied.
"Forget the sweet talk." Qing Ye Lin laughed, "Kujo-san didn't come?"
“Banqiao District is too remote.”
"Don't say Banqiao District is remote at Banqiao Station." After giving a lecture, she smiled and said, "But I haven't been here either."
"Birds of a feather, run away, or you'll get beaten." Toru Watanabe walked towards the zebra crossing next to him.
Qing Ye Lin also took a step forward: "Birds of a feather is a derogatory term, I suggest you change the word."
"The same kind? A gang of scoundrels? In cahoots with each other?"
"The phrase 'to be in collusion with one another' originally has neither positive nor negative connotations, didn't you know that?"
"Know."
"Ah," Qing Ye Lin put her hand on her chin and said with a beautiful smile, "Aren't you always proud of your understanding of Chinese culture? It turns out that you don't know as much as I do."
"Everyone said I know."
"A sharp tongue."
"I know this! It's from the 30th chapter of Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng's "Jin Ping Mei Cihua", right?" Watanabe Toru said proudly.
"Is "Jin Ping Mei" any good?" Qingye Rin asked with a smile as if chatting.
"Come to think of it, Banqiao is really like the countryside," said Toru Watanabe.
The two were passing by the tram tracks.
In the summer, the railway tracks are covered with green grass in the middle and on both sides, giving a sense of wilderness.
Suddenly, someone was driving a group of sheep towards us. The sheep were eating grass as they walked. It was not uncommon to see such a scene suddenly. This was the station in Banqiao District in summer.
Above the railroad tracks are intertwined wires.
Toru Watanabe was staring at the electric wires when a gust of wind blew in.
"Ah!" He blinked.
Qingye Rin turned her head and asked him "what's wrong" with her eyes.
"Dust got in." Watanabe Toru rubbed his eyes. "Even if you're a superman, your eyes are still a weakness."
"No, Superman's eyes can emit super heat rays. For your information, that is not a laser, but a shock wave ray with a temperature of up to 6100 degrees, which is hundreds of times faster than light. And it mainly attacks with shock waves, with heat as an auxiliary. Superman can freely adjust the intensity and temperature of the impact."
While giving a scientific lecture, Rin Kiyono handed over an aqua blue handkerchief with a dolphin on it.
"I'm not talking about that Superman, I'm talking about me." Watanabe Toru wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, "But I'm a little surprised that you would watch that kind of movie."
"What kind of person am I in your mind? A boring girl who only knows how to read books?"
"I won't watch Superman anyway."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you." I couldn't see her face, but I could hear her cold and pleasant voice. "I not only watch Superman, but also Doraemon. I even watched The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya under someone's coercion."
"You put The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya at the end. Are you planning to quarrel with me? One of us must die on the railway tracks in Banqiao District today."
"Suzumiya Haruhi is willful and unreasonable. It seems that it is destined that you like me."
"You actually know that you are willful and unreasonable?"
“I’m very self-conscious about having to be honest.”
"Thank you." Toru Watanabe returned the handkerchief to her.
"You're welcome."
Leaving the railway tracks at the Itabashi district station where they could defeat Toru Watanabe, the two walked into the shopping district.
"Why did we come all the way to Banqiao District?" asked Toru Watanabe.
"Open your eyes, which are useless except for being fascinated by dust, and look carefully at the street in front of you."
Watanabe Toru took a look and said, "It's Banqiao District. What's wrong?"
Qing Ye Lin sighed and explained: "Although this is one of the 23 districts of Tokyo, the prices are cheaper than Shinjuku District."
"Prices?" Watanabe Toru repeated the word, "The Seino family is bankrupt? I can help you."
"How many?"
"Let me think about it," Watanabe Toru had never checked how much money he had so far, so he could only add up the amount prompted by the system, "One hundred billion yen, about right, maybe a little more, maybe a little less, is it enough?"
"At least a trillion."
"That's not funding, that's buying out the Seino family, right?"
"When you take over the Qingye family in the future, any decision you make must be approved by me. If my mother hears about the plan to sell it for $9 billion, she might change her mind about making you her son-in-law."
"Then why are you still coming to Banqiao District?"
"Let's go into this store." Qingye Rin led Watanabe Toru into a photography equipment store. "If we use our family's money to prepare for the cultural festival, what's the point of winning first place?"
"The departmental funds are not enough?"
"You can just buy a camera stand that works, and the prices in Banqiao are just low, which doesn't mean the quality is bad."
"Your family is so rich, but you're still thinking about how to save money and compete fairly with others, Kiyono-san..."
"Instead of wasting air there and saying meaningless things, why don't you come over and help me choose." Qingye Rin checked the material and strength of a bracket.
"I hate you the most." Toru Watanabe walked forward.
After carefully selecting and buying the bracket, the two walked along the shopping street in Banqiao District, which was so plain that it seemed to have faded.
Children on holiday gathered around a freezer filled with ice cream, and an Akita dog slept in the shadow of the eaves to avoid the sun.
The two of us had one kinako bread for 40 yen and three for 115 yen.
"It's really cheap." Qingye Rin nodded with satisfaction, as if she had chosen the right place.
"I don't know if this counts as a date," Watanabe Toru said, looking at the plastic bag of soybean powder in his hand, "but treating a girl to a 40 yen piece of bread, don't you think it's beneath my status as a multi-billionaire?"
"Just say what you want to say."
"I'm hungry." Watanabe Toru crumpled up the plastic bag and stuffed it into his trouser pocket. "Two small pieces of bread are not enough."
It's a small cake shop with only three tables.
One seat was occupied by two full-time housewives, one was occupied by a Siamese cat that was not afraid of people, and two people sat in the seat by the window.
I ordered a small square cake, which consisted of a layer of cake, a layer of milk, a layer of fruit, and another layer of cake , and on the top were strawberries, mulberries, and blueberries.
There are three strawberries, and the stem of the middle one has fresh green leaves.
Each person gets a piece of cake and a cup of coffee.
Toru Watanabe used a knife and fork to cut a piece of cake and a piece of strawberry and ate them all.
When the sweetness in your mouth develops from nothing to its peak, pick up the mug and take a sip of the slightly bitter coffee.
Toru Watanabe looked out the window, enjoying the delicious food and leisure.
"You have three girlfriends, and you still come out with me alone to eat dessert. Is that okay?" Qingye Rin looked up and asked him with a smile.
Behind her and opposite to Toru Watanabe - the two full-time housewives who were gossiping, the look in their eyes that originally admired Toru Watanabe turned into an indescribable look.
It's like seeing a crow digging through a garbage bag on the side of the road.
"It's okay." Watanabe Toru took another bite of the cake, "Meiji knows and allows it."
"allow?"
"She agreed to let me be with you." Toru Watanabe explained.
Not to mention the two ladies, even the waitress at the counter turned her head to look at them.
Only the Siamese cat was still sleeping comfortably.
Qingye Rin put down her knife and fork, picked up the coffee cup, and her eyes showed a thoughtful look.
"Let you owe her and marry her in the future?" She put down the coffee cup and looked at Watanabe Toru with her clear eyes.
"Yes." Toru Watanabe picked up the only strawberry with leaves.
"What do you think?"
"Of course I want to be with you and hug you unscrupulously, but..." Watanabe Toru put the strawberry in his mouth, "You don't want to?"
"I said I would defeat them all."
"Yeah." Watanabe Toru didn't know what he was agreeing with.
I had eaten half of the strawberry when the leaf I was holding broke. The sweet strawberry that I had originally wanted to eat in one bite now was in a dilemma. I didn't know whether to eat it or not.
Qingye Rin stretched out her slender hands and picked off the broken leaves for him.
"Thank you." Toru Watanabe swallowed the strawberry into his mouth.
"This is a difficult thing to do," Qing Ye Lin placed the emerald green leaves on the table, "I admit that I underestimated Kujo Miki."
"It's my fault," said Toru Watanabe.
"I can't blame anyone." Qing Ye Lin suddenly showed a relaxed smile, "If I have to blame someone, I can only blame us for falling in love with each other too late."
"It's too early to love you. I would have been kicked out of the club a long time ago."
"So we can't blame anyone, unless we don't love each other."
"That's absolutely impossible." Watanabe Toru took a sip of the slightly bitter coffee, "To be honest, the more we can't be together, the more I want you to love me."
"That's what I was thinking too." Qingye Rin also took a sip of the slightly bitter coffee.
"Birds of a feather." Watanabe Toru laughed.
This time, Qingye Rin did not refute.
