If life is a series of movies, with different endings at different stages, after 28 years of life, Jack is willing to use a slow lyrical song as background music to retell the story on the island five years ago. That summer, and now edited together.

Under every sweet note played by the piano, there is a peaceful and beautiful Sicilian sky.

——JRNS·EyesClosed

When Naib woke up, he felt a numbness in his left arm.

He turned over and sat up, unlocked the phone screen, and checked the wound in the dim light.Before going to bed, he deliberately turned off the WLAN, so the mobile phone did not automatically connect to the school Wi-Fi, and the message reminder bar did not spread out in a bombarding manner.

He narrowed his eyes uncomfortably.Fortunately, it fell on the wooden floor yesterday, and the wound was not very serious. At this moment, it showed a slightly darker color under the dim light.

Naibu rubbed his eyes, thinking about getting up after lying down for a while, then relaxing his body and falling back.The unique warmth of the winter quilt enveloped him, and when he opened his eyes again, the good student Nabu was already on the verge of being late.

"Kreacher!" He jumped up, and shouted his roommate's name while throwing off the quilt and getting out of bed, "Why didn't you call me!"

"Kreacher is going to the restaurant to celebrate with the JRNS girls that Mr. Sharp Knife finally gave out cookies." Kreacher put on a scarf in front of the mirror, "Neb, you can come with Jack—Jake didn't call him either."

Neb brushed his teeth with his disheveled haircut, tried to look through the mirror through the wall, and gave Kreacher a hard look.However, the only thing waiting for him was the sound of closing the door with a "bang".

Too much Kreacher.Neb complained in his heart, hurriedly finished washing, grabbed his coat and rushed to the next door - Jack was still lying on the bed, wrapped in a soft white quilt and huddled up, only the top of his soft hair was exposed.

Neb turned the door open, then stopped in place.

Kind of...cute?Reason told him that he should drag Jack up from the bed right now, but he still walked over lightly and said softly, "Get up."

Jack moved, muttered something, and wrapped the quilt tighter.

Standing condescendingly, Neb could only see Jack's slightly frowned eyebrows and the straight bridge of nose under his fluffy bangs.

"Jack, get up." Neb raised his voice slightly.

Two seconds of silence.Then Jack throws back the covers and sits up abruptly.

"I'm here to borrow disinfectant." Naibu clenched the bag strap slung across his shoulder, hoping that his expression wasn't particularly strange.

If there is no problem with the sharp knife teacher's hearing, Jack probably unconsciously said something in his sleep two minutes ago:

"You need a kiss from Naibu to get up."

Um? ...Maybe I heard it wrong.

"Mrs. Rose invited you to publish the book?" Kreacher sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, propped his chin with his right hand, and looked at Neb with a serious expression.

"Hmm." Nebu leaned against the bedside to browse the forum, and picked up a cherry tomato brought back from the school cafeteria.The full juice exploded in the mouth coldly, with a fresh breath.

"Did you promise?"

"Not yet," Neb glanced at Kreacher and shrugged, "I don't understand at all, and... I don't really want to print this kind of, how should I say, illegal in a sense, uh, publication .”

"You're just afraid of revealing your true identity," Kreacher pointed out the crux of the problem. "If you don't find an organization outside, you can only print it with the school's school magazine. When the time comes, everyone will understand."

Naibu had a "too real" expression on his face.

"By the way, when did you meet Mrs. Rose?" After hastily ending the previous topic, Kerry switched positions and started reading, and said casually, "I think she likes you so much—her home page background and avatar have been changed to In the photo of you in the restaurant, Jack was deliberately cropped out."

Teacher Jiandao paused, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I just met on the forum. Didn't I update late at night, I will connect to her hotspot, and I will occasionally exchange private messages or something—probably a girl who is a grade lower."

"You said you're even hot on her?" Kreacher put down "What is Renaissance" in his hand, his expression became weird.

"That's right, I don't have traffic." Naib said vaguely.

"Isn't this the boys' dormitory?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"The people living here are all boys, Neb, the girls' dormitory is tens of meters away from us." Kreacher had a compassionate expression of "You haven't felt wrong after so long".

Naib swallowed the cherry tomatoes with difficulty.

"Come on...so...Mrs. Rose is...Mr. Rose?"

Every Friday afternoon, the Student Union has special lectures in the library.

The entire Olytis Foreign Language School covers an area of ​​about two hectares, with the central square and the library forming the living area and the teaching area respectively.

The library is a tall and magnificent three-story circular building. The highest floor is a circular lecture hall in the style of the Colosseum in ancient Rome, surrounded by transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, which saves energy and allows you to see the retro teaching buildings in the distance.

Neb and Marta sat on the highest platform, far away from the crowd, watching the student council president Jack organize the students below.Behind them is an entire floor-to-ceiling bookshelf, and the books are neatly arranged in alphabetical order, all of which are gilded and bound.

Naib looked boredly at the noisy crowd below for a while, and pulled out a book from the floor-to-ceiling bookshelf with his backhand.Marta was wearing a sea-blue winter school uniform, sitting cross-legged next to Naibu, flipping through the lecture materials, with a few locks of curly hair hanging by her ears.

Naib hesitated for a while, turned a few pages of the book and closed it again, took a deep breath and told Marta what happened in the morning.

The girl's brown eyes looked straight at him. "Really?"

"Probably I got it wrong." Naibu frowned and touched his nose unnaturally.

Marta was silent for a while.

"No, actually, to be honest, I feel that Jack is interested in you. I don't know if you have paid attention to him in class. Anyway, I found that he often looks in your direction-this is only a small part of what I observed, Ai Ma and the others sorted out and summarized more."

"To summarize?" Naib chuckled, "But the truth is, we didn't have any interaction before this." He said in a very serious tone, "To be honest, I was super flustered when he sat down across from me that morning."

Marta wanted to say something more, but the lecture had already begun.

Neb stuffed the book back on the shelf.He originally wanted to tell Marta about Mrs. Rose's identity, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

let it go.

He opened the thick notebook and found that he had scribbled on a certain page at some point:

"Itishim Ilove."

He is the one I love.

—TBC—

Naib: I didn't expect you to be such Jack...
