486 covered her mouth and laughed secretly behind the glass.

486 sat on the swing in the playground, swaying evenly with the ups and downs of the swing. There was no trace of sadness on her lovely face, as if she was the most optimistic person in the world.

But at this moment she was simply sitting on the swing, enjoying the joy of flying in the air.

"Why are you looking at me? Is my face dirty?"

486 paused on the swing and kept wiping her clean, dust-free face with her hands. As she wiped, she complained about Asagi's look. She looked very shy.

"You've been playing for two hours now, aren't you getting bored?"

"Ah, it's been 2 hours. How did it go by so quickly?"

“But I can play for a while longer.”

"I can wait for you, but I just can't wait. It's almost 6:, and the literature club should be leaving."

"So fast?"

486 got down from the swing reluctantly. Before leaving, she looked at the small swing that she had bullied for two hours with reluctance.

As the school closure approaches, students from various clubs are gradually wrapping up their activities and preparing to leave. Tomorrow is Saturday, and many people are starting to plan where to go.

486 pricked up her ears and listened attentively, a look of envy on her face. It was obvious that she also longed to go shopping, eat delicious food, and play with fun things like those students.

On the way, they ran into the group of people from the literature club. They looked at them suspiciously, as if they had seen something bad. But this wasn't his fault, it was only 2's fault.

I snuck into the literature club's activity room, but the door was locked. Looking through the window, I could see it was empty. But the question was how to get in.

"Leave this to me."

486 confidently took out a key from somewhere. The key was covered in rust. Could it really be used?

"Don't worry, it can be used."

With a "Pala" sound, the lock of the literature club was indeed opened. Asagi was a little speechless. The lock of your literature club has not been changed in 10 years. Why do you have the key?

"Come in, come in."

486, who entered the activity room first, poked his head out and waved his little hand, signaling Asagi to come in quickly because she was about to close the door.

The literature club's activity room is filled with books, probably around 300, most of which are literature. It's not a lot, but it's not a small amount either; it could be considered a small library.

At the back corner of the activity room, there are four bookshelves. The books on the shelves are very worn, judging by the wrinkles on the pages. These books must be quite old, and the pages are a little yellowed.

There is also a layer of dust on the corners of the bookshelves, which shows that they have not been cleaned for a long time.

"What are you looking for?"

Asagi casually flipped through a few books. He was not very interested in the texts inside. Things like literary masterpieces seemed very boring.

486 frowned, looking a little anxious.

"Why, why, why can't I find it?"

"I remember it was here."

Following 486's voice, I saw her staring dejectedly at an empty bookshelf. It was obvious, after a year, that everything would disappear.

"Why don't you think about it again and see if you're remembering it wrongly? If it's something important, you'll definitely treasure it. And when you hide something important, you'll definitely choose a very secluded place. At least, if I want to hide something, I don't want others to find out. Because it's a secret that belongs only to me. I hide it because I don't want others to know."

"Of course, there are other possibilities. Some things are hidden in order to be discovered."

"Hidden just to be discovered?"

486 didn't understand what Asagi said. She looked up, her eyes full of anxiety. She seemed to be very concerned about the hidden object.

"Yeah. Some things are hidden just to avoid being discovered at the time, but in the hope that someone will find them in the future. There are many examples of this, like time capsules and the like. Of course, I'm just speaking casually."

"Time capsule."

486 seemed to have remembered something, and lowered his head to think. While thinking, he was still mumbling something. Taking advantage of this time, Asagi looked around.

"I see."

Suddenly, 486 screamed.

There seemed to be footsteps outside the door, as if the security uncles had come for their inspection. Asagi covered 486's mouth and waited patiently for the security uncles to leave.

"I know where it is."

486 pointed to the bookshelf behind the corner.

The location is obvious, so even if it was hidden there, it couldn't still be there.

But then it was worth checking the bottom of the bookshelf, close to the floor. It seemed they needed to move the bookshelf.

At the bottom of the bookshelf, 486 tapped the ground bit by bit.

}Bang, bang, bang, very slight dull sounds.

Until a certain position was hit by a clear "dong dong dong dong" sound. It was the location that was hit, indicating that there was a gap underneath.

486 knocked around there, confirming the location and size of the gap. It was roughly large enough to hide a book.

It seems that in some ways, 486 is not stupid. She also knows how to hide things in secret places.

Asagi found some tools and slowly pried open the ground. A blank space appeared in front of him. There was an old book in the space, and it didn't look like anything special.

486 held the book very cherishingly, as if a long-lost friend had returned.

"I'm sorry, I have to take you away early."

486 said, staring at a small piece of paper inside the book.

Chapter 120 Su Shi comes to help

Asagi watched 486's expression from the side, wondering, "All this trouble, just for a book?" Undoubtedly, the book 486 was holding was a book that looked quite old.

The cover of the book was worn, and the pages were tinged with an old yellow.

"Aren't you curious?"

486 opened the book, revealing a small hollowed-out space within. Inside, a small box lay within. However, 486 was facing away from Asagi, holding the book directly in front of her. Perhaps this was intentional, but Asagi couldn't see inside the old book.

486 held up the book and stood between Asagi and her. In this way, Asagi's eyes were almost covered by the book.

"It should be something more important."

Asagi smiled at 486.

"how do you know?"

"Because of 486's expression, you're grinning smugly, a very smug one. Anyone with a normal brain can see that."

"Is it so obvious?"

486 frowned slightly, feeling rather regretful. However, she didn't dwell on her regret. She put the book down and spread it out before Asagi. A book with a hole in it was revealed before Asagi.

Asagi was a little surprised, frowning slightly. What surprised him was not the letter hidden in the book, but that 486 had done something similar to what happened in Shawshank Redemption. She joined the literature club and actually dug a big hole in the book with her own hands!

You don't care about books at all! Asagi imagined 486 being scolded by the seniors in the literature club. Perhaps 486 quit the club because they discovered something she had done wrong.

"Hidden inside is a decision I made in the past. Do you want to see it?" 486 blinked pretending to be innocent, without a trace of guilt on her face. She felt that destroying the book was natural. It seemed that 486 could not be a literary girl.

"No."

Before Asagi could answer, 486 put the box inside the book away and gave Asagi a wicked grin. She put the small box in her bag and then slid out of the classroom very swiftly.

Although Asagi was a little curious, she didn't have to see it. Moreover, Asagi could probably guess that the contents of the box were related to 486 and her grandmother.

Hidden in the box might be the troubles of 486!

Because he spent too much time on the box, and Asagi also learned the details of the whole thing from 486, Asagi planned to go back early tonight.

The two of them walked out of the campus. The streets were deserted. The dim streetlights cast a yellowish light. Walking on the street, the figures seemed vague and blurry.

At this time, Asagi stopped. 486 stopped on Asagi's body and looked at him.

"That's it,"

"486's lingering feelings have been resolved, haven't they? In that case, shall we call it a night?"

Asagi and 486 stood separately.

"But, grandma's checkup is still on this weekend, are you just going to leave me alone like this?"

486 is a little unhappy.

"Oh, about the rehearsal!" Asagi suddenly realized that he had been thinking about 486's problem and thought it was solved, so he forgot about it. 486 had already told Asagi everything that had happened to her, and why she had said "I want to quit the team".

Just when Asagi thought she could finally relax, she realized that the situation with 486 wasn't over at all. She still had to deal with her grandmother. Her grandmother, Anhe Tendou, loved Anhe Subaru very much, so Anhe Tendou would understand and support 486.

486 also knew this, so she wanted to do her best not to hurt her grandmother and minimize the conflict. Although, this kind of thing is cruel and even a little unfair to adults, because whenever there is a conflict with children, only when adults make concessions can the family continue to be harmonious.

The well-behaved granddaughter I'd been waiting for suddenly told me she didn't want to be an actress. Things like this are best taken slowly. But just being a child's willful self isn't enough; she needs to show results.

As long as there are results, then An He Subaru can boldly stand in front of his grandmother An He Tiantong and say with confidence,

"I can take responsibility for my own life. Even though I'm just a high school student, I can do it."

"Although I really want to help 486, I really don't have any confidence in my acting skills." Asagi showed a regretful expression.

"Are you going to back down, Asagi? Don't forget, you promised me."

486 pouted and looked at Asagi with dissatisfaction.

"Of course not. I honestly think that my abilities are limited, and there are many things I might not be able to do. Rather than leaving me alone and potentially delaying your rehearsal, why not get some help? What do you say? Maybe there's a hidden talent among us. She might not even realize it herself, and needs someone to discover her."

Asagi smiled happily, and a figure appeared in his head. Asagi felt that she was much more suitable than himself.

After listening to Asagi's words, 486 raised her head slightly and thought for a while. She felt that Asagi's words made sense.

"But, do MMK and the others have free time? MMK messaged me last night, saying she was a bit busy and apologizing. Everyone except 486 messaged asking about it, and I explained everything one by one."

486 tilted his head and looked at Asagi with some confusion.

"I'm not talking about them."

Asagi deliberately kept the secret.

"???"

"You'll find out tonight."

After saying goodbye to 486, Asagi went to a nearby convenience store. He looked at the various snacks, desserts, and other things in front of him and felt puzzled.

Looking at the time, it was almost 8 o'clock. He had to hurry up. So, Asagi simply found Nagasaki Suyo's portrait and asked,

"Su Shi classmate, Su Shi classmate, are you there?"

After a moment's wait, Nagasaki Suyo's profile picture lit up. Yes, Nagasaki Suyo was the person Asagi was looking for. He had previously planned to have Nagasaki Suyo help 486 practice his acting skills, and she must have enjoyed it.

"Yes, yes. It's rare that you would take the initiative to look for me." Nagasaki Suyo replied.

"Is there something wrong?" Soon, Nagasaki Suyo sent another message.

"I need your help with something."

"help?"

Faced with Nagasaki Suyo's question mark, Asagi took a photo of the various snacks in the store in front of him and sent it to Suyo to be on the safe side.

"??? Why did you send me this kind of thing? I can't eat too much. Girls can't get fat. Oh, I see. You want to ask me which one is delicious? However, my taste may be different from Asagi's."

"That's not it."

"???" Nagasaki Suyo was a little confused. It wasn't that kind of thing. Had she guessed wrong? However, this was normal. After all, Asagi's brain circuits were a bit abnormal, so it was normal for her to guess wrong.

"I want to ask, what do you want to eat?"

"Me? Why are you asking me? I like sweeter flavors, like black tea with sugar. Huh? You're asking me these, aren't you buying it..."

"You guessed it right. Su Shi is very smart." Asagi couldn't help but praise.

"Why were you sent to these places? What are your intentions? What evil things are you thinking?"

But Nagasaki Suyo on the other side of the phone sent a suspicious message.

"Don't dwell on these trivial matters. This is about An and Subaru."
