Chapter 270 Early Spring, New Semester, New Attitude Towards Life
"Ah sneeze."
The cherry blossoms flying lightly in the sky, the soft sunshine of April spring, the brand-new campus uniforms for the new school year, the welcoming slogans on the ginkgo slopes, and the ancient aria-like bells emanating from the campus teaching buildings are very lyrical.
The breeze slowly blew the green ginkgo trees on both sides of the slope.
The sunlight falling on the ground swayed slightly along with the mottled leaves.
Raku Sakakihara pulled the crisp white shirt around his neck, smoothed the button cuffs of his black Western-style school uniform, pulled up the shoulder strap of his backpack with one hand, and walked towards Ginkgo Sakamichi under the curious gazes of his junior students. Step by step, I tapped the so-called youthful steps on the ground.
When he appeared in the sight of many students, there was no doubt that he immediately became the central figure in the Ginkgo Sakamachi.
Sakakibara ignored all the glances directed at him and continued walking straight to the end of the ginkgo tree, heading towards the gate with [Aidenoku Private High School] written on it.
As a quasi-first-year freshman Kasuga E, who had finally entered this noble high school, she naturally noticed everyone looking at her.
Kasuga Megumi couldn't help but be curious.
Why does everyone go to see him?
Kasugai looked around and soon discovered that she was not the only one in the crowd of students who was confused.
The first-year students, or rather the first-year students wearing white lilies on their chests, all had the same doubts in their eyes as she did.
She couldn't help but curiously asked the second-year senior Takiguchi who was leading the team:
"Takiguchi-senpai, Takiguchi-senpai, who is that? Why are everyone looking at him? Do you know Takiguchi-senpai?"
Takiguchi Hana looked at the figure walking towards the school gate and said in a relaxed tone: "Oh, of course I know him. Sakakihara-san, who is in Class 4, is now a second-year student like me. "
"Why do you feel that senior is a little afraid of him? He has a very fierce personality?" Kasuga asked cautiously.
".I'm not afraid of him, but I'm sighing. His presence has been so conspicuous in the past two months. It's hard not to see him." Takiguchi Hana smiled at the back, "Kasuga-san, maybe you think that Isn’t Sakakibara-san handsome? Do you like him? It’s love at first sight?”
"Ah? Isn't this right?" Kasugae pulled the handbag in front of her knees and shook her head quickly. She also curiously glanced at Sakakihara Raku's retreating back, "Although I feel that Sakakibara-san's appearance is particularly good. , but I’m not the kind of person who falls in love with someone just because of their appearance!”
"It sounds like Kasuga-san is very confident in herself?"
"Well, yes, I worked hard to get into Mingde Elementary School from an ordinary high school. My current goal is to enter a higher school! I work hard to get into a good university!"
"What about Kasuga-san's youth that has just begun? You don't want to fall in love anymore?"
"Senior~ Youth is about more than just falling in love, and it seems like you haven't been in a relationship yet, right? Are you still single? What have you been doing this year?"
"Okay, okay, I won't talk to you about this anymore. Confidence is a good thing. As for Sakakibara-san, you will come into contact with him sooner or later in school."
"Huh?! Why is that?"
"Isn't there a proverb [the world always revolves around the center]? For the earth, the center is the sun. For the Mingde School at this stage, well, I don't need to say more, right?"
*
Knock, knock, knock.
The footsteps hit the ground, the blue sky, the early spring sun, the black hair and skirts of the girls swaying in the wind, in this cherry-colored season where even the side faces are dyed pink, Sakakibara walks into the campus, As happy as a traveler embarking on a new journey.
"Good morning, Sakakibara-san."
"Well, good morning."
"Good morning, Sakakibara-san! Do you want to go over to the notice board? The people from the student union are already here, so it's just appropriate to go over now."
"Okay, thanks for reminding me."
Except for some friendly discussion.
Conversations about himself continued behind him.
In fact, Sakakihara Raku had become accustomed to discussions about him in the past two months.
To be honest, the word he heard most in the past two months was the word "center".
"The center of campus", "the center of high school students", "the center of current affairs", "the center of women".
These rumors and gossips range from praise to disparagement, and jealousy is not uncommon.
There is a saying that goes like this: People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of getting fat. What it means is that if a pig gets fat, it will be taken for surgery.
Although it is not an exaggeration to "operate", after the school showed its strength with all its strength, some emotions about "dissatisfaction" and "unhappiness" still came one after another. Sakakibara Raku has solved a lot of troubles in the past two months. .
The reason is that Sakakibara's outstanding performance threatens their status in the school.
It threatens the high status that was originally at the top of the so-called "cash deposit" group.
Some of them are particularly outstanding in certain achievements, and some of them are young men from rich and powerful families. They are pursued and admired by many girls, and they are fawned over and pursued because of their status.
And Raku Sakakihara, who originally didn't like to express himself, suddenly appeared and stole their limelight.
If it is an eyesore or too brilliant, it will naturally lead to more troubles.
"Brother! Brother!!"
As you can see, another trouble is coming.
The voice echoed behind my ears, and the girl who suddenly appeared holding a mobile phone was named Sakakibara Suzu. Ah, she is my biological sister, Sakakibara Raku. According to her character, she is indeed a big trouble.
She stood beside her, her short hair with a hint of green at the end floating on her shoulders, and her body exuded a girly fragrance like summer lavender.
Sakakihara planned to speak to her as a "brother":
"Ah Ling, I won't say it anymore. Don't be in such a hurry outside. Besides, where is the angelic image you maintain outside?"
Sakakihara Suzu was a little unhappy with the tone of his education: "What the hell! It's not like you don't know that I'm being followed! The news clearly stated the four words [Personal Character Collapse]."
"It seems like something like this happened."
"Don't tell me and forget about it!" Sakakihara Suzu clenched her fists in front of him, looking fierce and fierce.
"No, no, of course I haven't forgotten it."
The time was probably a month ago.
In short, A Ling was followed by a fan and used the camera to discover an unknown secret of everyone on the Internet.
The idol voice actress, Suzu-chan, is completely different in private life and off-screen!
There are a lot of articles that could be written here, but since the person who took the photo simply loves Sakakihara Suzu and does not intend to smear her, everyone on the Internet is more consistent with one point of view - Suzu-chan has another side.
To summarize a little bit.
This incident did not have any impact on A Ling's life and acting career.
On the contrary, everyone was attracted by her foodie personality. Everyone felt that the gentle and quiet Suzu-chan endured too much and worked too hard off the screen, so she couldn't help but let herself go. He looked like he was eating a lot of snacks.
Underneath the dignified and quiet angelic face is a big foodie who doesn't care about appearance or appearance.
What is this called? This is called contrasting cuteness!
On the contrary, everyone liked her more.
Therefore, Ah Ling doesn't act so restrained outside now, and she looks like a sunny and cheerful girl.
She has a cheerful and positive personality, and her face is extremely cute. To use a comment from an online fan, it is: "When she smiles, she is so cute that the whole world will be addicted to it."
In addition to her foodie attributes, she is also a voice actress, guitarist and lead vocalist, and is completely capable. She is an artistic and sunny girl who is so dazzling that countless boys like and pursue her.
Just by standing with her, many boys walking on campus cast envious glances.
Sakakihara recognized her talent and skills in vocal music, but if she was an artistic girl, he, the older brother, would be the first to object.
"So, Ah Ling, what are you doing here in such a hurry?"
Suzu Sakakihara took out her mobile phone: "Look at this, look at this, someone is scolding you on the forum again."
Sakakibara just glanced at the smartphone screen that his sister handed him, "Ah, this, it's normal. If you don't scold me, I feel weird. It's just that this time's comment is a little weird. You're a scumbag with three legs." Man? The young lady’s top male servant? A Ling, do you need to show it to me? At first glance, it’s just a rumor spread by those guys, it’s completely unbelievable.”
"Humph, I always thought it was disgusting that these guys slandered you for no reason."
Sakakibara knew what his sister meant. He smiled and said, "Now Suzu, do you suddenly feel that it is right?"
"Okay, I admit, it's a little bit." Sakakihara Suzu put her hands on her waist beside him and raised her chin. Lovely in a proud state.
Sakakibara smiled at his younger sister who still had a bad ass, and continued walking looking forward, "A Suzu, don't you think your brother is very good? Not only his appearance, but also his physical ability in sports is unmatched, even He is always ranked among the top three in the school in cultural courses, and has never been surpassed by anyone. Not only that, he is also very gentle and considerate. He not only knows how to cook and play bass, he also treats everyone in the family equally, and is always responsive to classmates' requests and help. ."
"Omit! After all that, it's just a central air conditioner! Okay, okay, I don't want to listen to you praising yourself, brother. Let's go and see the class list!"
*
I walked through the campus playground with my sister and walked to the teaching building with a large clock. Looking over, I could see several students from the student union maintaining order on the scene. Another person used scotch tape to paste the class list on the on the notice section.
"Don't worry, everyone, don't worry, please wait where you are, the form will be posted soon."
Sakakihara Suzu stood on tiptoe behind the crowd and looked left and right, but she could only see a bunch of dark heads surrounding the front.
"Why are there so many people here? I can't see inside at all."
"It's normal," Raku Sakakihara looked at the young students standing on stools and posting notices and said to his sister beside him, "Didn't you also want to see the class list when you first came to school?"
"No, brother, are you going to miss me again this time?"
"Want to be in the same class as your brother?"
"Humph, I don't mean to think about it, but except for the first year of high school, we have been in the same class since childhood. I was not used to the different classes before!"
Proud.
"A-Ling, you don't have to worry about this. The strategy our school has always adopted is to try not to change students' original circles. After all, the separation of familiar people caused by reclassification will also affect the learning progress. Most people come here The purpose of the school is actually to further your education, and the school takes this into consideration.”
"Did you tell your uncle (principal) secretly?"
"How could it be! I'm not the kind of person who abuses class power. Don't forget that we are both from the bottom of society, who collected the coins from the bottom of the pickpocket to make a living. The truth that I firmly believe is that we should never forget each other even if we are rich. Even if we are in a high position , I will also always save those in need and strive to make the name Sakakibara Raku the best."
Sakakihara Suzu felt uncomfortable with his natural self-confidence: "Eh~~ It feels like you are speaking out of breath, brother, and your whole body is filled with a smell that cannot be concealed."
"What is the taste?"
"The rancid smell of publicity!"
"I'm going to be unhappy if you say that!"
"Of course I'm joking, but to be honest, I feel like you've changed a lot in the past two months."
"Where does it manifest specifically?"
"Hmm." Sakakihara Suzu thought about it, "I can't think of it."
"Then what did you say!" Sakakihara Raku slashed his sister's head with a knife.
The front suddenly became lively.
"Hey, the third grade list is out, Shizuoka, have you seen your name?"
"Never be assigned to Teacher Nagasaki's class. Never be assigned to Teacher Nagasaki's class. I don't want to spend the last year of my high school career in purgatory."
"Is it that exaggerated?"
"Teacher Nagasaki is super fierce, isn't he? The old professor from Tokyo University usually has a straight face. If you don't bring your homework to school, he will punish you by standing at the door for half the class. When you pass by him, your body will subconsciously Shiver."
"But the class led by Teacher Nagasaki has the highest focus rate."
"No then!"
"Can I share it with the three eldest ladies of the Tianhai family?"
"What are you dreaming about? I didn't know that they are all the harem of the scumbag Sakakihara. You know-"
"Shh, shh! You two! Didn't you see the scumbag standing behind you?"
Scumbag?
Are you discussing bro again?
Even though the sound of some discussions was muted in the end, Sakakihara Suzu still heard these words. She couldn't help but look up at the side of her brother's face, stretched out her fingers to poke the flesh of his waist, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, are you okay?"
"Huh?" Raku Sakakihara looked back from the third-grade list, but it was still hard to see clearly from this distance.
"You must have heard those who called you a scumbag just now."
"Yes." Sakakibara didn't take it seriously and waited for the students in the student union to put up the second-year list notice.
"Don't you think they are going too far? Why are they talking about you everywhere?"
"A Ling, it's cold at high places. How can you maintain your current status if you can't stand the cold at high places? This little thing is nothing. I don't need to forcefully change all the people who hate me. It's a waste to argue with them. Time. You have to understand that once a person rises to prominence, opposition will naturally come. Didn't you see that our band was ridiculed by some people on the Internet as a kid band?"
"Anyway, if it were me, I would yell back at you in this situation!"
Ah Ling had actually done this before. Every time she held her cell phone, she would get scolded by the netizens, and her fingers would tap on the screen at a rattling speed.
Yeah, it fits her character quite well.
Raku Sakakibara: "It seems that the notice sheet for the second-year liberal arts class has been posted."
The crowd in front immediately started to gather again, and students in school uniforms surrounded the bulletin board.
"Let me see, let me see."
"Nakai, Chiemi, and Cheng are so great! Everyone is together!"
"Is there anyone in the same class as Sakakibara-kun? Tomoi, are you there?"
"No, I'm in class three."
"That's a shame."
"Chii, what class do you think Sakakibara-kun will be assigned to?"
"Sakakibara-kun is so good, he must be a [current member]."
"Haha, please don't use that name, it's too weird!"
Sakakibara couldn't help but laugh when he heard a few more girls discussing him. Because he also noticed that the expressions of several boys became darker. They turned away and seemed to be muttering disdainfully in their hearts, "Why can I hear people everywhere saying that this guy Sakakibara is so good now?" .
Hey, hey, a few years ago you and I were comrades of the same class! Why is it so belittled now?
After waiting for about ten minutes, the crowd dispersed, and the students who had just entered the second grade gathered together in twos and threes to discuss the assignment of classes.
Most of the discussions are about how the teacher is, how the teacher feels, whether the teacher is beautiful, whether the teacher is a handsome young man, do you know what the teacher’s personality is like, and other worries unique to high school students.
These worries are also deserved.
Because moving into a higher grade class means that the interpersonal relationships built in the first grade are likely to be broken and disrupted. Starting from scratch, some people will also fall into a state of self-doubt because they failed to enter the top class.
But there is no doubt that among the classes assigned to the liberal arts and sciences, Class 1 of the second grade is the most eye-catching junior high school class.
The top level of the school, the top level of social life, the top level that represents the power behind the students, are all gathered in this class.
This may be a bit exaggerated.
But the school itself is a tiny microcosm of society, and class has never disappeared from people's growth from beginning to end.
At least, when faced with an outstanding poor student who studied hard from a humble background and a young lady from Gaoling whose family has a net worth of hundreds of millions, who has equally excellent academic performance and is thousands of times more beautiful in appearance, it is obvious who will everyone take a second look at. things.
And under the list of [Class 1, Year 2], which many students are most concerned about, the names Tianhai Jiuliuli and Tianhai Qimingyue are ranked first and second as expected.
Many students who saw these two names couldn't help but picture the two girls who appeared in the student union, lecture hall, stage, and literature department in their minds. She has long, soft flaxen hair, delicate appearance, overwhelming ladylike aura, and a slim figure that embodies the dreams of all high school boys.
They don't need any pretense or pretense. They just step forward, hold school documents, and read out solemn lines under the attention of thousands of people. Everyone will naturally accept that they are the top of this school. Two girls at the top.
Above, at least in Sakakihara Raku's impression, this is how their classmates evaluated them.
"Brother, we seem to be in the same class, and Yuki is here too! Why, why are the two foxes here?" Suzu Sakakibara's expression suddenly turned disgusting.
"It's strange that they are not in the same class."
It's been two months, why are you still so vindictive?
