Futaba Makoto seemed to feel wetness coming from his face in his sleep. When he opened his eyes in a daze, he found that Suzuki Kaoru was no longer in the room.

Beside the bed, a set of pajamas was neatly laid out, seemingly still warm.

"Huh?" Seeing that Suzuki Kaoru seemed to have changed into pajamas, Futaba Makoto couldn't help but glance around. Aren't you afraid that he would just wake up and see it?

So sleepy.

After Futaba Cheng yawned, he got up and went back to his room to wash up.

While waiting to go downstairs for breakfast, Futaba Makoto saw Suzuki Kaoru staying in the yard clearing snow. In addition to her, there was also Ninomiya Ya who was practicing sword practice with a bamboo sword.

"Wake up." Suzuki Kaoru held the broom and carefully swept the snow on the ground. Her short hair, as neat as a knife, began to sway slightly with the girl's movements.

"Let me help too." Futaba Cheng said.

Suzuki Kaoru glanced at Futaba Makoto and seemed to shake his head in rejection.

But soon, Futaba Makoto came over with a broom in his arms and swept the snow with Suzuki Kaoru.

"I won't go to Tokyo." After seeing this, Suzuki Kaoru said slowly.

Futaba Cheng smiled: "I don't intend to force you either."

"If that past is very painful for you, it is indeed a very difficult thing to face it."

The broom made a rustling sound on the ground, and Futaba Cheng's voice was very gentle: "But as I said last night, if you are willing to speak out, I can share this pain with you."

Suzuki Kaoru said nothing.

After a long while, she said softly: "When that day comes, if you are able to help me bear it together."

A faint smile appeared on the girl's face, "I don't mind you being responsible for me."

After hearing what the other party said, Futaba Cheng smiled: "Really? Then I will wait for that day to arrive with great expectation."

He didn't know what kind of past the girl had.

But for Futaba Makoto, he wants to help Suzuki Kaoru get out of the shadows, that's all.

"Really not going to Tokyo?"

"Not going."

"All right."

Not far away, Ninomiya Ye, who was Suzhen, slowly put down her bamboo sword. She looked at Futaba Cheng and the two people not far away, with something strange in her eyes: "These two people..."

…

After breakfast, Futaba Cheng and the others went out to school.

But unlike before, Futaba Makoto's arms were shared one by one with Nana Hayaka and Yu Miyashiro.

Ever since that Christmas night, it seemed like a silent tacit understanding. The two girls each occupied a part of Futaba Makoto - even though this was the case, Futaba Makoto was still not used to it.

The main reason.

Those were the looks of the uncles and aunts on the street who had watched him grow up, and those ambiguous looks made Futaba feel like he was on pins and needles.

"It's great to be young. You can enjoy your youth like this."

"Oh hehehe, who made Chengjun look so handsome?"

Although this situation has happened before, at that time, Nana and Gong Bai Yuyou were mostly fighting in the morning, and it was not as quiet as this.

Speaking of which...

In the morning, Nana was completely at a disadvantage because she accidentally broke Pikachu's hood last time, and then she couldn't afford to pay the high price for eating people.

It was also at that time that Nana was put into various clothes by Gong Bai Yuyou and became a new material model.

Well, as expected, rich women are still more powerful.

Futaba Cheng couldn't help but think at this moment.

Today, Miyashiro Yuyu is not wearing a doll costume, so the girl with a social fear naturally puts almost her own weight on Futaba Makoto, and morning Nana also hugs her tightly every day.

Although the touch from both arms was like being immersed in a sea of ​​cotton, Futaba Cheng just wanted to rest for a while.

Because it is really inconvenient to walk like this.

After finally arriving at school, Futaba Cheng and the others finally returned to the classroom despite the strange looks from their classmates.

However, unlike previous classrooms, everyone seemed extremely quiet today. There was only the sound of turning pages in the entire classroom.

Um?

Although Futaba Cheng was a little surprised that everyone was studying, he still returned to his seat.

After taking out his phone and seeing the time on it, Futaba Cheng realized the reason.

take an exam.

This semester is coming to an end soon and winter vacation will begin, followed naturally by exams.

And according to past practice, if you fail the exam, you have to stay and study for make-up exams and waste your vacation time.

Although Futaba Makoto doesn't need to care about this matter, after all, his grades are not bad.

but--

[First place: Gong Baiyuyou

Second place: Futaba Makoto

Third place: Ninomiya...]

Futaba Cheng couldn't help but recall the results of the last exam, and then couldn't help but glance at Gong Bai Yuyou.

At this time, Gong Bai Yuyou, who was sitting quietly next to Futaba Cheng, faced his gaze and tilted his head slightly, as if he was curious about why the other party was looking at him like this.

"I should be the first in this test." Futaba Cheng couldn't help but think.

After all, this guy Gong Bai stayed up late every day to finish the manuscript, and came over to stick with him whenever he had time, so he had no time to study at all.

But he is different.

Although I usually spend a lot of time playing games, the knowledge accumulated in the past is more than enough in high school.

Thinking of this, Futaba Cheng couldn't help but smile.

It seems that he is finally getting rid of the title of second child in ten thousand years.

Gong Baiyuyou: "..."

Although she didn't know what happened, the girl felt that Futaba Makoto was smiling a little evil at this time.

Is it because...

Gong Baiyuyou's eyes slowly moved down, and then he stretched out his hand and touched it.

"You, what are you doing?!"

After feeling his holy sword being touched by the girl, Futaba Cheng was stunned for a moment, then looked around.

When he noticed that no one was looking over, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gong Bai Yuyou beside him with a strange expression.

Gong Baiyuyou blinked her beautiful eyes and took out her notebook——

[?w?`)I haven’t gotten up yet.]

"It's weird. Whose weapon is on standby 24 hours a day?!" Futaba Makoto complained. Although he said that, he was just triggered by the girl, and his holy sword did seem to be faintly about to wake up.

[(,,?w?,,)But Cheng’s expression just now seemed like eh.]

"I think you misunderstood something..."

…

…

After class, just as Futaba Makoto expected, the head teacher informed everyone that the exam would be held on Friday, and students who failed the exam would have to stay and make up lessons during the winter vacation until they passed the exam.

"Do you actually have to make up classes? The winter vacation is not long."

"No way, it's hard for my grades to pass."

There was a sudden roar in the classroom.

Futaba Makoto held his face with one hand while thinking about whether he should study a little in the past few days.

After all, there are only a few days until Friday, so it would be good to read a little book to consolidate the knowledge.

Sure enough, the power of making up lessons is huge. After class, Futaba Cheng saw that many students who usually didn't like to study began to study as if they were cramming.

Even Tetsu Takahashi is the same.

His grades have always been hovering near the passing line, and since he recently dated a girlfriend, he may have dropped a lot.

At least it can be seen from the anxious look on Takahashi's face.

"Cheng, please!" Takahashi, who had no clue, almost came to Futaba Cheng in the posture of a doge seat, "I made an appointment with Rina to play during this winter vacation, but I can't make up for classes!"

"With your results, you can just make up for it a little bit, right?" Futaba Cheng said,
