He took out the spare key from under the carpet at the door and opened the door of the activity room, and Natsukawa Malyo walked into the activity room gently.
According to Yan Kai, this activity room is an activity space for all "Zhongxing Society" members. Any member of "Zhongxing Society" has the right to come here at any time, so there is no one specially set up to keep the keys, except Yan In addition to having a key in hand, Kai also placed a spare key under the carpet at the door so that people who want to come to the activity room can come in at any time.
I have to say that Yan Kai usually looks very impersonal, but many of the things he does are full of humanity.
The door of the activity room was ajar, and the light in the room seemed even dimmer. However, Natsukawa Zhenliang did not choose to turn on the light, but sat down directly in front of the low table.
She didn't come to the activity room to do anything, she just wanted to relax and have a rest, even if it was just for a few minutes. This dim light was just right for her, not dazzling, and could give her eyes a better rest.
You know, Xia Chuanzhenliang's eyes have been looking at greasy things for a long time today, and now they are getting rid of the oil.
After closing his eyes for a few minutes, Natsukawa Malyo let out a sigh of relief and finally felt a little more relaxed.
After spending almost a whole day with someone he hated or even disliked, both his mental exhaustion and physical discomfort were almost at their limit. If he didn't relax a little bit, Natsukawa Zhenliang felt like he would die.
After closing his eyes for a few minutes and then opening them again, Natsukawa Zhenliang felt that his eyesight was much better and he could see many things much more clearly.
For example, the place where Natsukawa Zhenliang is sitting is directly opposite the place where Yan Kai usually sits cross-legged and writes silently. From Natsukawa Zhenliang's position, you can even see a light ink stain on the corner of the low table.
Natsukawa Maryo remembered that it was stained by the inkstone Kasumigaoka Shiu accidentally knocked over Yankai's inkstone. Although Kasumigaoka Shiu cleaned it carefully at the time, there were still some traces left.
His eyes stayed on the ink mark for a while, but he still recalled its story. After the recall, when Natsukawa Masuo looked away, he discovered that there seemed to be a box hidden under the low table.
It is actually not accurate to say that it is hidden. Although it was placed in an inconspicuous place, the person who placed it did not deliberately hide it, so Natsukawa Masairo saw the box at a casual glance.
It was clear that in the morning, Natsukawa Ma Ryosao, who was on duty for cleaning, did not find anything in this place. After the school festival, this box suddenly popped out?
Curiosity aroused, Natsukawa Masashi pulled the box out from under the low table and gently lifted it. When he could see clearly what was inside, Natsukawa Masashi's tired eyes suddenly lit up, and the smile on his face became much more vivid. , Natsukawa Malyo's smile was like a mask before. Although it was beautiful, it always felt less agile and alive. It was not until now that it looked like a living person.
Inside the box, the set of Hanfu that Yan Kai wore during the performance was neatly folded and placed, and the beauty mask that looked like Natsukawa Masuo was also placed on the folded Hanfu.
Natsukawa Mareyo leaned on the low table with one hand to support her chin, and tapped the fingers of the other hand rhythmically on the table. Looking at the mask that was so similar to her own face, she only hesitated for a moment before placing it on the table. He slowly picked it up and placed it gently on his face.
Well, it fits very well. I don’t know how Yan Kai managed to make a mask that looks so similar to mine. Is he secretly observing me?
After Natsukawa Malyo chuckled, he quickly gave up this unrealistic idea.
She could feel that Yan Kai looked at her no differently than any ordinary student. Even if he looked at her with special eyes, they were given to Senior Sister Kasumigaoka, Senior Sister Busujima, Eve, and Chitong. Who did she count? …
Holding the mask in his hand and observing it carefully, Natsukawa Malyo felt that the expression on the mask was exactly the same as his usual expression. It was very delicate and beautiful, but there was always a sense of lack of reality.
It turns out that when I usually smile, does this make me feel like this?
His hand gently attached to the teardrop mole at the corner of the mask's eye. This is the biggest difference between this beauty mask and Natsukawa Masuo.
Natsu Chuan Zhenliang vaguely remembered that according to numerology, people with tear moles are destined to suffer from love, be trapped by love, and shed tears easily.
Very good, it has nothing to do with me, I don’t believe in love or tears at all!
With a chuckle in his heart, Xia Chuanzhenliang put down his mask and focused on the Hanfu again.
This Hanfu is very beautiful, but it’s a pity that Natsukawa Malyo only wore it once when trying it on, and was not able to actually wear it and stand on the stage to dance. Even after practicing dancing for many days, it was of no use. To be honest, Natsukawa Maryo Very disappointed.
Carefully picking up the Hanfu and gently covering the patterned accessories with his hands, Xia Chuanzhenliang sighed softly.
It's a pity, it's such a pity...
Xia Chuanzhenliang kept crying out that it was a pity in her heart, and at the same time, she thought that this dress was still worn on Yan Kai not long ago.
By some strange coincidence, Natsukawa Zhenliang put his nose to the Hanfu and sniffed it lightly.
It's not that Natsukawa Malyo has any special hobbies, it's just that Natsukawa Maliang suddenly remembered that such a beautiful piece of clothing had been worn by a man like Yan Kai. Would it be dirty and leave any smell? If there was a smell, she wanted to take it. Go wash up.
There is indeed a smell on the clothes, not bad, but there is a faint weird smell, a bit bitter, like...oh, by the way, like Kampo medicine!
Natsukawa Masuo remembered that there was a girl in the class who had a smell similar to this. She was the heir of a medical family and she always had a bitter smell. She said it was the smell of Kampo medicine. She came home from school every day. After that, I have to help my family grind medicinal materials, and it is inevitable that my body will be stained with such a smell.
Afraid of making a mistake, Natsukawa Zhenliang brought her nose closer to the Hanfu, almost touching it.
Well, there is indeed that bitter smell, but besides that there is also a faint fragrance. The fragrance and the bitter smell are mixed together to form an indescribable smell. Xia Chuanzhenliang smelled it, I actually feel that my tired spirit has improved a lot.
How is this going?
Xia Chuanzhenliang wondered, could the smell on the clothes also have a refreshing effect?
She felt funny in her heart, but she couldn't help but increase the intensity of her breathing and buried her face in her clothes, wanting to inhale more of the strange smell emanating from the clothes to prove her doubts, because the intensity of her breathing was so great that she even let out There was an indecent sound of "whooshing".
"Eh? Classmate Xia Chuan, why are you still here at this time?"
The ajar door was suddenly pushed open, and the unique orange light at dusk came over. A familiar boy rang. Natsukawa Zhenliang, who was holding the Hanfu and taking a deep breath, stiffened. The Hanfu was in his hand. Sliding down, he showed a horrified expression as if he had been caught doing something bad.
"Well……"
Time seemed to be stopped and the air seemed to be frozen. After Yan Kai and Xia Chuanzhenliang looked at each other for a few seconds, they silently took a step back, exited the door, and then closed the door gently.
"Sorry to bother you, farewell!"
Yan Kai, who left such a sentence, quickly fled the scene.
Because something unexpected happened suddenly, Xia Chuanzhenliang's brain went down for a short time. After her brain restarted, she stood up suddenly. For some reason, she grabbed her Hanfu and chased her out the door, chasing her back. While shouting: "Hey, wait! Classmate Yan Kai, you misunderstood! Please listen to my explanation... Stop, hey! What are you doing running so fast..."
…………………………
The school festival is over, but school life still has to continue. Since the school festival is held on Sunday, the next day is Monday. Natsukawa Masuo came to the school as usual and found that Eve and Yan Chitong were already sitting Yan Kai's seat was empty.
This is a rare thing. You must know that Yan Kai, Eve, and Chitong have always acted together, especially Eve, who is like a pendant on Yan Kai. It is rare to see her and Yan Kai separated.
Is it because of what happened yesterday that Yan Kai doesn’t dare to face me?
Thinking of this possibility, Natsukawa Malyo felt an urge to die.
What a coincidence, Yan Kai bumped into him when he was smelling the Hanfu. Fifteen-year-old Natsukawa Zhenliang felt the taste of social death for the first time in his life.
However, Yan Kai ran very fast. When Natsu Chuan Zhenliang opened the door and chased out to explain, he only had time to see Yan Kai's back, and then he couldn't catch up with him. This left Natsu Chuan Zhenliang with no way to explain.
Well, although judging from the situation at the time, there seems to be nothing to explain...
"Student Eve, where are classmates Yan Kai?"
Natsukawa Zhenliang asked Eve.
Eve glanced at Xia Chuan Zhenliang, which made Xia Chuan Zhenliang feel uncomfortable. She thought that Yan Kai had told Eve everything about yesterday, right?
Fortunately, Eve just glanced at Natsukawa Masashi, without any special meaning in her eyes, and quickly answered Natsukawa Masashi's questions.
"Brother Kai has asked for leave. It will take about a week."
"Ask for leave?"
Natsukawa Zhenliang felt uneasy. Could it be that he refused to go to school? Not so much...
"Yes." Eve nodded, "Brother Kai has to go out for a few days for something. I couldn't tell the specific time, so I asked for a week's leave first."
"Oh, that's how it is……"
Fortunately it's not because of me...
Xia Chuanzhenliang breathed a sigh of relief, but soon raised questions and asked Eve: "So Eve, do you know what Yan Kai is doing?"
"I don't know." Eve shook her head, and then added: "But it seems that Brother Kai went with Sister Saezi, and Sister Saezi also asked for leave. I asked Brother Kai what he was going to do, but Brother Kai said he couldn't tell."
What does "can't say" mean? Is it, is it the kind of thing that "can't be said"? Still with Busujima-senpai... for several days... Can Yan Kai-san's body bear it?
Natsukawa Zhenliang's mind suddenly began to fill up with various restricted scenes, and his face turned red.
Eve was a little curious about why Xia Chuan Zhenliang's expression suddenly changed, but she was just curious and did not ask what Xia Chuan Zhenliang was thinking.
If Brother Kai said something that "can't be said", then he should go to practice with Sister Saeko. It is indeed "cannot be said" about things like practice...
Eve knew that training was a very private matter for martial arts practitioners, so when Yan Kai said "I can't say", she immediately thought that Yan Kai was training with Busujima Saeko, otherwise the two of them would What else can you do?
Eve, who is only thirteen years old and has no experience in the world, thinks so.
So, what did Yan Kai and Busujima Saeko do when they took leave? Is there anything that cannot be said?
Outside the 23 wards of Tokyo, within the Tokyo economic circle, in a remote and desolate place, there is a city with a fin de siècle style. The buildings are dilapidated, and even the air seems to be stained with the smell of blood. There are few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally someone passes by. He was walking in a hurry, as if he was running away from something.
The masked Yan Kai and Busujima Saeko walked into the city.
The two met as promised in the early morning, then transferred to trams several times, took the bus for several stops, and finally walked for more than two hours before finally arriving here at noon.
"Chong" is a very special area. Although it is located within the Tokyo economic circle, its existence cannot be found on any Tokyo-related map, nor does it have a place in Japan's administrative system. This is A ghost-like city, without any Bai Dao power present in this area.
"Lawless Zone", "City of Sin", "Paradise of Madmen", these are all nicknames given to it by people who know the existence of "Zhong". From this point alone, we can see what this place is like. The presence.
Kitayama Xingyi mentioned the existence of this place "Zhong" to Yan Kai during the summer vacation, and asked Yan Kai to take Busujima Saeko to come here.
But both Yan Kai and Busujima Saeko have a lot of things to do during the summer vacation, and because they often sparred with Yan Kai, Busujima Saeko's killing intent has always been in a relatively stable range, so come " "Medium" time has been repeatedly delayed.
It wasn't until Busujima Saeko came into contact with "a similar kind" Esdeath. Under the influence of Esdeath, Busujima Saeko's murderous intention began to become unstable, and Yan Kai began to be busy with club activities again, and then Without enough free time to frequently spar with Busujima Saeko, Busujima Saeko's murderous intention gradually began to get out of control. Even if Yan Kai noticed this and asked Aka Hitomi to spar with Busujima Saeko on his behalf, it would only be able to delay the murderous intention. The erosion of Busujima Saeko cannot truly free Busujima Saeko from the influence of murderous intent.
Obviously, Busujima Saeko's problem has been put off to the point where it can no longer be put off. Just after the school festival, Yan Kai can have some free time, and the most likely troublemaker, Kobenosuke, is also sent. In the detention center, Kitayama Xiongwu greeted the Metropolitan Police Department. Even if the empty-handed team was operating, this old pervert would not be able to come out in less than ten days and a half. Yan Kai just took the opportunity to help Busujima Saeko complete her spiritual transformation.
The so-called transformation is also something that Yan Kai said "can't be said".
"China" is an area where there is no law. Here, the only prevailing rule is "violence". As long as there is strong violence, no matter what you do is allowed, which of course includes... robbing other people's lives. !
