People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

Recalling this, Kita on the other side continued to ask questions,

"So, do you usually eat lunch in the cafeteria? Or do you bring your own lunch?"

"Eat bread in the cafeteria or at a convenience store, don't bring a lunch box."

"Well - next time we have a chance, how about I bring you a lunch box? Although I'm not very proficient yet, I've been practicing cooking for the past year!"

"No, this will be too much trouble for you..." Aoki Jie shook his head, wanting to refuse.

But before he finished speaking, Kita refuted him with a very familiar sentence.

"It's nothing between friends! Well, it's a deal then!"

Then the girl paused and continued,

"Well, if you feel like it's really bothering me...how about you accompany me shopping this weekend? You can help me carry the bags and chat with me..."

He probably has nothing to do on the weekends, so he can go shopping with me or help carry bags.

But regarding the bento - Aokisuke really didn't want to trouble the other party so much.

He nodded in agreement at first, then wanted to persuade Kita again.

But the other party's attitude of "it's settled" left Aokisuke with no choice...

If this continues, can this feeling really be maintained for a short period of time?

After confirming that the other party would make a lunch box for him later, he stopped communicating.

As he picked up the fried shrimp with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew, Aokisuke looked out the window again.

There is always an inexplicable feeling of decline in autumn, and the yellowing leaves sometimes make people feel a sense of meaningless sadness in their hearts.

But the sky as clear as glass and the white clouds without a trace of impurities give people a feeling that all things are competing for life.

Looking back, you can see the endless slope lined with cherry trees at Xiuhua Private High School.

Autumn, this season is somewhat contradictory.

After dinner, the two returned to school.

After entering the teaching building, because Kita Ikuyo was on the first floor, Aoki Jie sent Kita back to his class first.

A little worried about how to deal with those curious classmates, after sending Kita back to the classroom, Aokisuke walked up the stairs step by step and headed towards his own class.

Then, I met Shizuka Hiratsuka on the road.

In the morning, Aoki Jieyou had a conversation with Hiratsuka Shizuka, but because it was in class and the school had just started, the other party was busy with various things, so Teacher Hiratsuka didn't say much, just a few simple words to tell her to study hard.

Now, it was lunchtime and she had a little more free time. When Shizuka Hiratsuka saw Suke Aoki in the corridor, she naturally called out to him.

"Oh, Aoki."

He walked towards me, looking like an uncle, and patted Aoki Jie's shoulder in a very familiar manner.

"I didn't have time to look for you this morning, but now it's just a chance I see you... Hey, you've quietly become a big star, haven't you?"

The other party was talking about 'Suki-san' and the end of the band.

Feeling somewhat helpless at the other party's careless actions and words, his eyebrows twitched slightly. After taking a small step back to maintain a safe distance, Aokijie spoke.

"It's too much of an exaggeration to call him a big star. He's just a little bit famous."

"You're so modest. The music you composed was actually used in conjunction with the movie... But speaking of which, that movie 'Fireworks' was terrible."

This sentence was a little difficult to respond to, and Aoki Jie laughed awkwardly.

"Ah ha ha."

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't seem to notice, or maybe she noticed but didn't care. After Aoki Jie laughed awkwardly, he paused and continued speaking.

"You're a well-known figure now, and the school board has noticed you too. They also noticed that you got first place in your grade right after transferring to this school."

This has nothing to do with music, it's obviously about serious business.

Aoki Jie became more serious and listened to Hiratsuka Shizuka continue speaking.

"So, the school board hopes you can give a speech during this year's opening ceremony, but... things like that take up your time, so that's up to you to decide."

If I were an ordinary teacher, I would probably try my best to persuade myself to go on stage and give a speech.

But Hiratsuka Shizuka is different.

This person always puts his students first in everything he does, even if it doesn't benefit him.

Good teacher...

Giving a speech at the opening ceremony is not a big deal that takes up too much time, the only thing that is a little troublesome is preparing the speech.

Aokisuke still hopes to do his best to help without bothering Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Shaking his head, Aoki responded, "This doesn't really take up time. It's just a speech on stage. No problem."

"Oh——" Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded.

Then Aokisuke continued, "However, I also have something I would like your approval for, Mr. Hiratsuka—"

"I'm going to have a concert the day after tomorrow, so I'm going to ask for leave..."

"The day after tomorrow... the first semester exams won't be delayed, but if you're so busy, won't your academic performance... fluctuate?"

"Don't worry." Aokisuke made an 'OK' gesture, "Absolutely no problem."

"You're not modest about your academic performance again. You're such a weird person..."

After Shizuka Hiratsuka complained, the conversation ended with "Okay, go back to the classroom quickly, class will start soon."

Aokisuke nodded, said goodbye politely, and continued walking towards the teacher.

As he walked, he began to think about what he had just said.

First, about the speech.

After this, Mr. Hiratsuka will tell me the topic of my speech, so there is no need to rush.

Then there are the entrance exams.

Speaking of the entrance exam, Aokijie recalled the scholarship that he had not yet received.

I forgot to mention this when I was chatting with Mr. Hiratsuka just now. I will have to find some time to ask him about this later.

But I still feel like I forgot something...

After thinking for a while and walking forward for a while, Aokisuke suddenly remembered something.

President Yukinoshita Yukino, whom I haven't seen for a long time, still owes me a bet.

For some unknown reason, the other party did not participate in the exam, so the victory should be considered mine.

But there's no need to rush this matter. After all, we've been waiting for over a month, and there are more important things to do right now...

Special performances, scholarships, radio recordings...

I should have time to participate in club activities on Friday, so we'll talk about it then.

Chapter 124 Entrance Exam, Before the Speech

The next day, entrance examination.

For Aokisuke, the exam content was not difficult because he had reviewed it the day before the test. Therefore, Aokisuke was able to give accurate answers to most of the questions and judge whether they were right or wrong.

Because it is just an entrance test, the time for a single exam is very short.

I finished the Chinese, mathematics, and sociology exams in the morning, and the remaining subjects in the afternoon.

The whole day was spent between exams, and before school was over, Shizuka Hiratsuka asked for a speech.

There aren't really any requirements - the topic is anything, as long as it's not something high school students can't talk about, whether it's about band or academic performance, it's fine.

The school definitely gave enough respect to a student like Aokisuke who could bring great publicity...

After agreeing, he briefly considered the speech, then quickly shifted his focus—

After school in the afternoon, around four o'clock, I hurried to the concert venue agreed upon by the "Fireworks" production team.

After the rest of the band arrived, they familiarized themselves with the venue and rehearsed until around seven in the evening.

After taking leave in advance, I still had to attend a special concert the next day.

After that, you have to find time to give speeches and participate in radio recordings.

But these things wouldn't be as crowded together as they are now...

10 month 14 day.

In a gymnasium that was much larger than the last time, we performed a special concert with the closing band.

There were no mistakes in this interview. Like the last time, a great deal of space was devoted to introducing the movie "Fireworks".

After the special performance, I had dinner outside with the girls in the band.

It is worth mentioning that the bonus received at the PVC branch a few days ago has been fully distributed, so at the dinner table, Aoki Jie mentioned the bonus.

In fact, none of them cared much about the prize money. If Aoki Jie hadn't mentioned it, the girls would most likely have forgotten about the winner's reward.

However, Aoki Jie obviously couldn't do such a thing as keeping silent. After talking to a few girls, he decisively divided the prize money equally among them.

After that, we discussed the album.

Because of time constraints, this matter must be put on the right track. I must find time as soon as possible to practice the ten songs and prepare for the album release.

But before that, we need to quickly choose the right music to end the band...

Having said this, because I want to change apartments recently, I consulted a few girls about the best place to rent a house.

As for this question, the girls' responses...

Apparently, two people responded to this question with private information.

"Huh? If you want to change apartments... well, it seems like Shimokitazawa is a good place. I remember there are suitable houses for rent here recently, and they are very close to the livehouse, which is much more convenient." This sentence was obviously said by Hong Xia.

"Apart from Shimokitazawa, there is an apartment for rent near my home at a very reasonable price, and it looks very comfortable. If you need it, you can come and take a look." Kita followed up with a different opinion.

Pochi-chan had no experience with this kind of question, so she decisively didn't give an answer.

And Miss Liang...

"Just live in my house. The rent is very cheap. It only costs a month..."

Aoki Jie simply ignored this sentence and didn't take it seriously.

Based on the opinions given by Niji and Kita, Aokisuke carefully considered it.

But this matter probably wouldn't be settled within three days, so he had plenty of time to think about it...

By the time we finished dinner and returned to the apartment, it was already 8:40.

The opening ceremony will be held tomorrow, and it will officially begin after the morning class meeting. Aoki Jie will go on stage to give a speech very early, and it will be his turn around ten o'clock.

Since there was no limit to the topic of the speech, Aoki Jie did not spend too much time preparing the speech.

This kind of thing can be dealt with in a perfunctory manner, after all, it is not a very formal speech - this is what Shizuka Hiratsuka told herself yesterday.

With this idea in mind, I refined my prepared speech and completed my long-awaited homework.

After that, I watched the variety show "Cooking++" for a while.

Sometimes Aokisuke really doubts whether watching variety shows like this without actually practicing will really improve your cooking skills. Just like the last time you barbecued...

However, the theoretical knowledge has indeed been enriched a bit - for example, when watching the show again tonight, when the beef brisket was introduced, Aoki Jie suddenly realized that what he had grilled that day was not pork belly, but beef brisket.

I don't know what use this theoretical knowledge is...

Thinking of this, and considering finding an apartment where he could cook without filling the house with smoke, Aokisuke washed up and went to bed at ten o'clock.

A silent night, October 10th.

Get up early, wash, go for a morning run, have breakfast, and arrive at school around eight o'clock.

The first class was changed to a morning meeting. The students in the class were bustling about for a long time. When the bell rang and Shizuka Hiratsuka walked into the classroom, the noisy conversations stopped all of a sudden.

After looking around the classroom with satisfaction, Shizuka Hiratsuka began to notify everyone about the opening ceremony.

Basically, it's a series of commonplace issues such as paying attention to safety and not making noise. By the way, I would like to inform all students that the test results will be out today, so please be prepared.

Shizuka Hiratsuka really didn't want to repeat these things over and over again, so by the time she finished saying all this, only five minutes had passed in the morning meeting.
