"Pfft" Kamuro next to her couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing Uesugi Hara deflated, she felt so happy.
Normally, she didn't get any benefits from Uesugi Hara, and she was always at a disadvantage. But today, when she saw with her own eyes that he was helpless and suffering a secret loss, Kamuro felt that the depression in his chest had completely dissipated, and he could not suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Uesugi, what's going on? Is there no way to go?" She turned her head, with a hint of teasing in her tone, and the last note rose slightly, "Aren't you usually quite capable?"
Uesugi Hara raised his eyes and glared at her, "Don't gloat" in his eyes, but he couldn't do anything to her at the moment, so he swallowed the words back and just let out a dull "hum".
This muffled hum fell into Kamuro's ears, which made her feel more comfortable than any response.
"Just pray hard, and it's best not to fall into my hands one day." Uesugi Hara's voice was still filled with lingering depression.
Kamuro Masumi seemed not to have heard the gritted teeth in those words, but instead the corners of his lips curved slightly.
"Is it in your hands?" She moved closer to the side, her voice was low and a little provocative. "When the time comes, we still don't know who will take control of who."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Uesugi Hara to get angry, he sat back and gently said, "If you don't have the time to say harsh words, why not think about how to end it."
Angry, trembling, cold... little Kamuro, how dare you be so arrogant.
After Uesugi Hara wrote down this grudge, he ignored her and turned to look at Morishita Ran in front of him. He felt a headache in his heart. He really didn't know how to deal with a girl with such a personality.
Afternoon, swimming lessons.
The girls were wearing uniform one-piece swimsuits. However, compared to the stretch and plumpness of the Class D girls, most of the Class A girls were obviously much thinner, as if they were always short of nutrients in their daily diet. Uesugi Hara looked at it and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
I looked around the swimming pool and noticed two slightly lonely figures.
He walked lightly behind Morishita Ran who was squatting by the pool. Her bowed silhouette was reflected in the water, and his fingertips were tapping the water stains on the edge of the pool. Yamamura Miki stood quietly beside him, his eyes falling on her.
Seeing Uesugi Hara approaching, Yamamura Miki quickly raised his hand to say hello.
"Classmate Morishita, classmate Yamamura, why don't you go into the water and play?" Uesugi Hara also waved to her and asked.
Morishita Ran glanced at the reflection in the water, without looking back, and said in a calm voice, "No one stipulates that you have to go into the water during swimming lessons."
His eyes passed over the noisy crowd in the swimming pool, and his tone was inaudible. "Besides, there are too many people in the water, and the splashing water will wet your hair."
"Really?" Uesugi Hara followed her gaze and responded softly.
"What about classmate Yamamura?"
"I'll just stay here with classmate Morishita," Yamamura Miki waved his hand slightly, a little reserved, and his tone was timid and meek, "That kind of lively activity is not suitable for me."
"That's it." Uesugi Hara nodded, "Then you have fun. By the way, let's go to dinner together after class. I'll treat you as a celebration of the midterm exam. I'll go to Kamuro first and clean up the mess Morishita left for me in the morning. See you later."
Morishita Ran The movement of her fingertips paused. In the reflection on the water, her eyelashes trembled as she blinked, but she still did not look back. She only let out a gentle "hmm" from her nasal cavity, but no emotion could be heard.
Yamamura Miki seemed to be favored, and nodded quickly. "Okay, okay! Please trouble me, classmate Uesugi Hara!" She raised her head and glanced at the back of Uesugi Hara, then quickly lowered her head and whispered, "Classmate Morishita, classmate Uesugi is a very nice person... Just try to tease him less in the future."
Morishita Ran didn't answer, and her fingertips fell back to the edge of the pool, but this time she pressed hard, and a small piece of water stain spread on her fingertips. The noise in the pool came over, mixed with the soft sound of water waves hitting the pool wall in the distance. She looked at the scattered light spots on the water, and suddenly whispered, "Uesugi Hara That's all it's good for."
The voice was so soft that it seemed to be swept away by the water. Yamamura Miki didn't hear it clearly. Just when he was about to ask again, he saw Morishita Ran stood up, revealing his slender figure wrapped in a swimsuit. "Let's go," she said calmly, "Go sit over there."
After saying that, he walked towards the rest area next to the swimming pool, which was further away from the crowd and only had a few empty benches. Yamamura Miki was stunned and hurried to follow. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Uesugi Hara's figure already appearing on the opposite side. He felt inexplicably that the words he didn't hear clearly just now seemed to have some other meaning.
On the other side, Uesugi Hara has come to Sakayanagi Arisu's side, and Kamuro Masumi is still acting as a background board next to it as usual.
Sakayanagi was sitting on a chair with her chin propped up, her cane put aside, and her gaze fell on the center of the swimming pool. When she heard the footsteps, she slowly turned her head, her silver hair fell down her shoulders, her ice blue eyes curved, and a signature smile appeared on her face, "Uesugi came just in time, I was just wondering if you would be tripped by classmate Morishita."
"Just saying hello." Uesugi Hara stood beside her, his eyes swept over Kamuro Masumi next to him, and then fell on her.
"Miss Arisu, why didn't Kamuro give you a glass of water? She is so incompetent as a maid." Uesugi Hara said casually.
"Uesugi..." Kamuro Masumi frowned upon hearing this, and was about to open his mouth to refute, but Sakayanagi gently raised his hand to hold her down. "I can't trouble Kamuro with anything. Besides, I'm not thirsty at the moment." Her voice was still gentle, and no specific emotion could be heard.
"Oh?" Uesugi Hara raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. He didn't expect Sakayanagi to protect Kamuro. He thought that with her temperament, she would probably make a joke. The water in the swimming pool The flowers splashed and fell, causing Sakayanagi's ice-blue eyes to shine. Her smile did not diminish, "Why, Mr. Uesugi is here specifically to complain about Kamuro's 'dereliction of duty'?"
Uesugi Hara did not answer her words, "I came here to talk about what happened this morning." There was a hint of probing in his tone, and his eyes fell on Sakayanagi's unchanging smile, "Miss Arisu won't take those jokes seriously, right?"
"Of course not." The curvature of Sakayanagi's lips did not change, but there was a hint of narrowing in the ice blue eyes, "It's just that if Mr. Uesugi could restrain his bad taste, maybe he would be more lovable."
"Really?" Uesugi Hara raised an eyebrow and looked back, with a tit-for-tat smile in his tone, "But I think Miss Arisu has a lot more bad taste than I do."
Sakayanagi Arisu Hearing this, the smile in his ice blue eyes grew stronger, "Oh? Uesugi, please tell me, what bad tastes do I have?"
"For example, the tone of your words," Uesugi Hara looked at the smile flowing in her eyes, and the tone was half-serious and half-false. "There is always a hint of provocation, which makes people listen... I really want to give it to you."
Sakayanagi Arisu heard this, instead of being annoyed, he tilted his head slightly, his silver hair slid to the side of his neck with the movement, and the smile in his ice blue eyes became even bigger, "Give me a moment? Uesugi, what do you want to do?"
She deliberately prolonged her tone and said in a joking tone, "Do you want to hit me on the head like a lesson to an ignorant kitten, or..."
Uesugi Hara didn't wait for her to finish speaking. He raised his hand and patted her little head, interrupting her provocation. The hair under his palm was soft and slightly cool, "If I really punch a cute little lolita like Miss Arisu, I'm afraid I will cry for a long time, right?"
After saying that, he completely ignored Sakayanagi's suddenly frozen expression - the astonishment in those ice-blue eyes had not dissipated, the smile at the corner of his lips had faded to the point of condensation, and his cheeks were faintly blushing with offence.
Uesugi Hara turned to look at the stunned Kamuro Masumi, and his tone returned to his usual calm tone. "Let's go have dinner together later to celebrate the midterm exam."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left without any hesitation. He just added before leaving, "If Miss Arisu wants to go, you might as well come together."
Kamuro Masumi looked at the direction in which Uesugi Hara disappeared, and then quickly turned to look at Sakayanagi Arisu. Sakayanagi's ice blue eyes were filled with lingering sullenness, but a very faint and cold smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Kamuro Masumi swallowed and said tentatively, "Sakayanagi, are you okay?"
"It's okay, of course it's okay. I'm feeling very well now. Didn't he invite me to come with him? Just go." Sakayanagi There was no obvious sullenness in his ice blue eyes, but his smile was as cold as a thin layer of ice.
The tail note rose slightly, but with an indescribable chill. Kamuro Masumi closed his mouth knowingly, feeling that the water vapor in the swimming pool seemed to be a little cooler than before.
