The mist exhaled by the girl, carrying a hint of sleepiness, drifted past the bus stop sign. Kurusu Yoshi sat on the bench, covering his lips with his hands, leaning forward to look at the traffic light at the end of the road.
"Ah! Here it comes!" she called softly, stood up and pointed at the bus that appeared at the intersection.
The bus stopped beside the two of them, and the girl waved to Matsueda Jun, "See you next year~ I'll miss you!"
"It's just three or five days..." Jun Matsueda picked up the suitcase, got on the bus, and put in coins.
After the bus had gone far away, the girl walked back towards the apartment building. She yawned again, "It's so cold... I should take a nap."
The bus stopped by the roadside, and Jun Matsueda continued walking with his suitcase. The entrance to the welfare home was on the right a few hundred meters away.
The suitcase he had bought for the sake of cheapness was not of good quality. Many shops on the roadside were closed due to the New Year holiday, and only the sound of the pulleys echoed back and forth on the quiet street, from one end to the other.
From September to December, new characters joined every part of Jun Matsueda's life. Until this time, walking alone on the road, the long-lost feeling of loneliness began to invade his heart.
In fact, it took Jun Matsueda more than ten years to adapt to this feeling. However, after the first year of high school, he suddenly felt that this familiar old friend had become a stranger.
It’s all those guys’ fault...shadows flashed through Jun Matsueda’s mind.
"Long time no see." He looked at Aya Miyamura standing at the door of the welfare home, and also looked at the gap of longing in his heart.
"Brother Jun!" The girl rushed into his arms, and Matsueda Jun let go of the handle of the suitcase and hugged her.
"You're going to high school next April, why are you still acting like a child?" Jun Matsueda let go of his hand and dragged his cheap suitcase again.
"Come on, go home."
It was an hour later when Jun Matsueda sat in front of the TV. The gifts he brought had been distributed. The children were playing with their new toys outside in the yard, and the older children were sitting with him in the hall.
"Did Brother Matsueda compete in such a big stadium the day before yesterday?!" Several junior high school boys watched the TV excitedly. The screen showed the densely packed audience seats at the Tokyo Gymnasium, and the final of the Winter Cup was about to begin.
"I've watched Songzhi's videos several times!" said a girl with twin ponytails proudly. She still had a little baby fat on her face and was still in sixth grade.
"It's a good thing that Jun was suspended, otherwise I would only be able to see you on TV today." Miyamura Aya sat next to Matsueda Jun and said with a smile.
As for whether Jun Matsueda could make it to the finals, Cai-chan never doubted it.
The whistle of the game sounded, and the lounge hall was quiet for a short while, but then became even noisier. The shorter children gathered around the TV, the boys started a heated discussion, and the girls pretended to watch TV, occasionally glancing at Jun Matsueda who was sitting in the corner.
Jun Matsueda didn't watch the TV that was surrounded by people. He just left the few entertainment activities in the welfare home to them. He just curled up on the sofa in the corner, looking at the messages on his mobile phone.
After the holiday, the message notifications of Jun Matsueda became very lively. The class group was discussing where to go during the holiday, the news department group was constantly updating the edited promotional videos, and the work group of the Setagaya Literary Museum was filled with blessings and greetings from a bunch of people in society.
Wait, who pulled him into the wind band group?
"Aya-chan needs a cell phone even when she goes to high school, right?" Matsueda Jun looked at the girl next to him.
"Yeah! I'll buy it after the New Year. I've been saving my scholarship, and I've also been working a part-time job recently." Aya Miyamura was a little excited.
Jun Matsueda was not surprised. Japanese teenagers can work part-time when they turn 15. The girl grew up with him, so naturally she is independent and strong-willed.
"I'll go with you to buy it then. I know someone who works in the sales office."
"Okay~" the girl smiled sweetly.
The two sat by the outer door of the lounge. Jun Matsueda listened to the TV commentary and noise inside, and watched the children outside chasing the football on the grass.
As I was watching, suddenly a few white crystals fell onto the glass, and the football blurred into a white mass.
Jun Matsueda opened the door and watched the snowflakes falling from the sky and landing on the grass.
"It's snowing!" Miyamura Aya raised her hand beside him, and a hexagonal ice crystal fell into the girl's palm and turned into a drop of water.
“Tokyo’s first snow!”
Mochizuki Haruka woke up in a dark ward, with the sound of a woman's steady breathing beside her.
She lingered in the warm embrace for a long time before carefully lifting the quilt and getting out of bed.
She didn't turn on the lights and walked barefoot on the ground. The girl was only wearing tight underwear. The heating was on in the room, so she was not cold.
The girl stretched and then sat in a chair in a daze. After returning to the hospital, she didn't know what to do except sleep.
It was not until white light floated outside the window that Wang Yueyao came back to his senses from the overflowing sorrow and pain, and walked step by step to the window.
The girl's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously took out her cell phone to send a message, but paused.
When she regained her senses, she simply opened the window and let the cold snowflakes fall on her white, naked body.
"It's snowing, pine branches..."
Chapter 176 Happy New Year, withdraw it
The 31st, the last day of the year.
After finishing his breakfast, Jun Matsueda started jogging around the welfare home. As long as he returned here, he would not miss his inspection work.
The first snow in Tokyo that had flooded his phone screen the day before yesterday was no longer visible, leaving only a slight dampness on the ground.
"Are you running, Matsueda? Your breathing sounds a little strange." Yamami Matsukori's voice came from the other end of the headset.
"Yes, jogging around the orphanage."
He greeted the uncle who was sweeping the roadside. The uncle had been working here for more than 20 years. Matsueda Jun watched his hair become thinner from thick. Time is indeed annoying.
"Matsueda-san is really self-disciplined."
"Isn't it the same for senior sister? She gets up so early to study on New Year's Eve."
A girl's laughter came from the headphones.
"That's because Xinchan and the others are coming to visit us today. She'll definitely show off her academic ability in front of me again, and I don't want to lose too badly..."
"Matsueda, regarding the previous question about the biodiversity of herbaceous communities and the calculation of the diversity index..."
Yamami Matsukori was lying on her bed with a notebook spread out in front of her and a mobile phone with voice call function placed next to her. The girl's two little feet were swinging back and forth, showing her owner's happy mood.
"Maki, get up!" Hei Yuxin suddenly opened the door and walked in, "Don't sleep in!"
The girl on the bed turned over and put her phone under the covers, "Xin-chan, at least knock before you come in!"
"What's there to worry about between the two of us?" The petite girl walked around the room and finally walked in front of Yamami Moki, looking at the notebook on her bed.
"Studying so early in the morning? Didn't you always sleep in during the holidays? I always had to wake you up."
"What do you care?" Yamamiya Mochi's face turned red. She said angrily and reached into the quilt to turn off the voice.
"......" Jun Matsueda stopped on the side of the road for two seconds before continuing on his way.
The senior who pretends to be diligent is also very cute.
After jogging a lap, he returned to the gate of the welfare home. The security guard told him that the director had returned, and Matsueda Jun walked towards the director's office.
Pushing open the wooden door of the office, I saw an old man with snow-white hair sitting behind the desk with a kind smile on his face.
"Xiaochun, welcome back."
"Another year has passed." She turned her head and looked at the children outside the window. "Everyone has grown a lot taller, and you are about to become an adult."
Matsueda Jun sat down opposite the old man. He recalled the uncle's Mediterranean hair on the jogging path. "Time really flies. Mr. Yoshida used to always ask us to call him brother, but now he is a real uncle."
The old man smiled kindly, "Yoshida even has two children."
After the two chatted casually about the changes in the orphanage, Matsueda Jun got to the point. "Mochizuki Haruka told me that the orphanage's new medical and education security system is already being implemented, right?"
The director nodded and said, "Thanks to Miss Mochizuki, the welfare home has saved a huge amount of money."
"There's nothing we can do. I want Number Two to invite her to visit the orphanage and tell her that the children are living well, are honest and hardworking, and have lived up to her kindness."
Jun Matsueda remembered the message the maid sent him this morning. Mochizuki Haruka had been staying in her aunt's ward for the past two days and had done nothing but sleeping.
"Xiao Chun, you have a good relationship with Miss Mochizuki. How about you invite her?"
He was silent for a while and told the dean about their current relationship. The old man frowned and finally sighed.
"They are all poor children."
"I will invite her, but I don't know whether she will come or not."
Matsueda Jun walked out of the office and closed the door. The girl, who was leaning against the wall, walked over to him and said, "The Mochizuki family is very efficient. They said that after I enter high school, my annual tuition will be waived."
"Aren't you always annoyed by the girls around me?" Jun Matsueda walked down the stairs, and Aya Miyamura stuck out her tongue behind him.
"Because I didn't do anything Aya-chan, it feels like I'm taking advantage of her."
Matsueda Jun ended the topic, "Hurry up and clean up, get ready for the New Year."
New Year's Eve is the last day of the year. "New Year's Eve" means "the day when the moon hides". People in Japan usually clean up on this day and say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.
For Mochizuki Haruka, this day was naturally spent doing nothing. She was in the hospital and gave the people in the Mochizuki mansion a holiday so that they could go home early to welcome the New Year.
The girl sat by the window, the lights still off, and she used the light from outside to flip through the notebook in her hand. This notebook was no longer the one she brought from Hokkaido, which was already full.
In less than a month, Mochizuki Haruka's observation records of Matsueda Jun had filled almost two notebooks, with more than 700 records in total.
However, the girl's observation record had to be stopped, and the plan to tame Matsueda Jun failed.
She turned to the last page with writing on it.
756. Pay more attention to the things that Songzhi cares about and prepare gifts for the children in the welfare home. He should be happy.
She picked up a black pen and wrote the last entry.
"757. Jun Matsueda doesn't like Haruka Mochizuki."
The girl was unwilling to write the word "hate".
After putting down the last stroke, Wang Yueyao shed tears as she watched the crow on the rooftop opposite, standing on the railing of the rooftop, preening its feathers, and finally flapping its wings and flying high into the sky.
Today's dinner was soba noodles, a must-have on New Year's Eve. After dinner, everyone in the welfare home gathered in the cafeteria, waiting for the Red and White Song Festival to begin.
At 7:20 in the evening, the Red and White Songs Contest began on time, and artists dressed in suits, kimonos, performance costumes, and dance skirts appeared on the stage.
Jun Matsueda was still huddled in the corner, giving the best seat to the excited children. Messages started popping up on his phone again, and Aya Miyamura, who was sitting next to him, stole a glance at the phone screen.
He clicked on the chat box of Songyouhua, and among the not-so-many text messages, a picture was particularly eye-catching.
The girl's pure and young body was soaking in the hot spring, the rise and fall of her chest was hidden under the misty water, and only her graceful collarbone and round and smooth shoulders could be seen.
In the photo, Tomatsu Tomoka purses her lips slightly and looks shy. The background is Mount Fuji in the evening. The pink sunset and sky contrast with the girl in the main subject, creating a beauty of forbidden and immoral desire.
Jun Matsueda sent her a question mark, and it immediately became read.
"This was taken yesterday at Mount Fuji. It's the National Gold Award that many generations have been longing for."
In order to prevent the girl from sending more pictures, Jun Matsueda did not reply to her message. After confirming that all important messages had been replied to, he put his phone on the armrest of the chair.
"Brother Chun, can I see your phone?" Cai-chan looked at him with longing eyes.
Jun Matsueda unlocked his phone and handed it to her, then started watching TV. The screen was showing Utada Hikaru singing, and the magnetic female voice echoed in the room.
The girl flipped through his contact list, "Brother Jun, what is your relationship with Tsushima Kou?" This was the first boy's name she saw.
"I've known him for a long time. He's the head of the news department I work for."
"Where's Sakamuro Ken?"
"My classmate, he likes playing basketball, he's a hot-blooded idiot."
Jun Matsueda was still watching TV. He thought for a moment and added another sentence.
"I'm not stupid."
"Oh——" the girl nodded cutely and continued asking.
"Mizushima Miya?"
"The girl sitting on my right, we have a pretty good relationship."
"Yamami Moki?"
"The leader of the wind band, a beautiful and kind senior."
"Hmm..." The girl narrowed her eyes. Chun Ge rarely complimented girls on their beauty.
As the girl and Matsueda Jun were asking and answering questions, the artists from the Red Group and White Group on TV took turns performing on stage, and time just passed until twelve o'clock.
"Happy New Year!"
The room was filled with blessings and smiles. From the distant temple came the sound of prayer bells, a total of 108 times, to drive away evil and welcome the new year.
Jun Matsueda took the phone back from the girl and started sending group messages.
If the relationship is average, just send "Happy New Year".
If you have a better relationship with someone, just send "Happy New Year~", just add a tilde.
Jun Matsueda didn't have this habit originally, but every year someone would ask him why they didn't receive his New Year's greetings, and whether he was disliked or something like that. As more people asked him, he developed this habit.
