042 After school
When the purple-red afterglow slowly fell from the sky covered with burning clouds, the time for the city was already six:30 pm.
The night began to cover the entire city.
The school ended at 4:30, and now the school gate has gone from crowds to empty.
At 6:30 in the evening, there was no figure in the campus, dark trees and dark buildings. The entire campus was gray. The classrooms of the teaching building were filled with warm lights, like clusters of fireflies taillights, and the students studied quietly in the lights.
In the comprehensive building, Takasugihara slowly closed the door of a functional room. After confirming that the doors and windows were locked outside the doors and windows, he put on his schoolbag on the corridor and turned around and left.
In the afterglow, his figure alone looked a little lonely on the school road.
It was his turn to hygiene of the functional room today. It was originally a matter of five people, but he took it alone.
When collaborating with others, he always cannot avoid some conversation and physical contact. He does not want others to touch his body, and he does not like the lively atmosphere. Compared to a group of people who are noisy to complete something, he prefers to be silent and complete his work quietly.
It took him two hours to complete the cleaning work.
He is not a boarding student, so he doesn't have to participate in late self-study and leaves school alone.
At this time, he had a few more popular campuses and traveled around the campus.
The street lights on both sides of the school road have already been on, and the faint light shines on the road, making a large aperture.
Every time a street light passes, the light will lengthen Takasugihara's figure, shorten, and lengthen again.
It repeats itself.
Takasugihara twisted her sore neck, dragged her tired body, and walked towards the school gate expressionlessly.
As we approached the school gate, a trace of light that was left at dusk shone on the face, and a familiar figure slowly emerged from the sunken yellow light. The purple clouds on the ground were filled with a little fairy spirit.
Slim and soft long hair draped behind her head, a slim cardigan paired with a short skirt, and her slender legs were wearing one-piece black silk pantyhose.
Takasugihara couldn't help but look at it a few more times. The picture was so beautiful that it was a bit unreal.
"Student, you can't leave the school gate without a school card, don't you know?"
At the school gate, the guard stopped the girl in front of the access control.
The girl stopped in place, a little at a loss, took off the headphones she had been wearing on her head, and her little mouth was about to speak but stopped.
"Hey, which class are you from? Are you a day student?" the guard asked in the guard room.
Takasugihara stepped forward, "She is my classmate."
He walked to the access control, looked at the guard, opened the access control with his school card, and looked at the girls beside him.
"Let's go, Nakano Miku."
Miku Nakano was a little slow and stayed in the hemp. She didn't react until he walked out of the school gate and hurriedly followed.
"Thank you, Shan...Student Gao..."
Outside the school gate, Miku Nakano folded his hands in front of his lower abdomen, grabbed a commuter bag in his hand, and bent down to thank him slightly.
"You are welcome."
Takasugihara waved his hand, "Did Nakano leave school so late?"
"...No, I forgot the thing, and I went back to school to get it after I got home." Miku Nakano shook his head gently.
In the gradually coming night, Miku Nakano's small face was a little hazy, her delicate facial features were like jade, her lips seemed to be shining with twinkle light, and her calm eyes could not tell anything about her emotions.
The two of them stood outside the school gate. The dusk was peaceful and the plants were rustling. Takasugihara Yukawa glanced at her face.
"Where are you living in?"
"Biliyuan Center Building."
Biliyuan...Isn't this a community where the rich people live in this city? She still lives in the central building?
Takasugihara couldn't help looking at her for a few more times. He thought for a while and found that Biliyuan and the rental house he lived in were on the same route, but the former was nearly five minutes longer than his rental house.
"Goodbye, Gao."
Seeing Takasugi still silent in place, Miku Nakano nodded slightly, took his bag and turned around and left.
"Well, we'll go together?" Takasugihara came to his senses and asked.
Miku Nakano stared at Takasugihara slightly with his eyes, "Is that OK?"
Takasugihara nodded.
"Thank you, Mr. Gao..."
Miku Nakano bent down again and thanked others twice in just a short period of time. Although this is a common etiquette culture among Neon people, such frequent actions will really bring a deliberate sense of distance.
Takasugihara doesn't like this feeling of keeping people from thousands of miles away.
He slowly walked towards his home, and Miku Nakano followed quietly, speechless all the way.
Miku Nakano walked quietly behind Takasugihara. The distance between the two was only two or three meters, and her eyes couldn't help but keep looking at his back.
In the dark night in the sky, his figure seemed a little tall. The first time she went out so late, she was still a little scared, but now she felt inexplicably at ease.
When he arrived at the place where Takasugihara and the quintuplets met this morning, Takasugihara walked a few steps faster in awkward manner.
"Student Gao is also reading books when he goes to school."
Passing by the crime scene, Miku Nakano suddenly opened his mouth and muttered in a low voice.
Takasugihara stopped, turned his head, and looked at Miku Nakano with confusion.
"Are you talking to me?"
"Hug, sorry..."
Miku Nakano lowered his head and looked at the floor tiles on the road, muttering as if he had admitted his mistake.
Takasugihara pointed at himself, "It should be me who should apologize. I was just now looking at something else... What did you say just now?"
Miku Nakano's hands and fingers hesitated and twisted a few times, "I just said that Gao was also reading books on the way to school..."
"Oh, yes, you discovered it."
After recalling Takasugihara, he nodded, and then his eyes were staring at Miku Nakano's face.
"What, what's wrong?" Miku Nakano asked in a low voice.
The two of them were originally two meters away. After feeling the gaze, she buried her head lower, took a few steps away, and a few strands of hair fell on both sides of her cheeks, completely covering her right eye.
"When Nakano was having lunch today, it seemed like he was calling me by name?"
Takasugihara asked in contemplatively.
Miku Nakano suddenly tensed her body unnaturally, as nervous as if someone suddenly hugged her from behind.
In neon culture, names are names that are used only among people who are very familiar and friendly. Among the opposite sex of the same age, calling the other person's name is basically the same as saying that the two have a good and close relationship, and it is easy to be regarded as a boyfriend and girlfriend.
Therefore, generally speaking, it is best to get permission from others if you want to call someone else's name.
Miku Nakano answered intermittently, his face turning red with embarrassment.
"Yes, I've called him once... Hug, sorry... I saw Yihua like this, and then I... accidentally called him without authorization... Sorry... Gao..."
"Yeah?"
Takasugihara showed a strange and pity-like expression, "I still think that it is better for Nakano to call me a name, and 'Sunhara' sounds much better than 'Senior Gao'."
"Eh?" Miku Nakano raised her head in surprise, her cheeks flushed and faintly appeared, "Is it really OK?"
"Of course." Takasugihara nodded, his eyes signaling Miku Nakano's face, "Your face looks very nervous."
“…that’s nothing.”
Miku Nakano quickly lowered his head, let go of a hand holding the bag, rubbed the hair in front of his forehead with five slender fingers, trying to cover his cheeks.
The two were silent for a moment, and Miku Nakano swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, and his lips slightly opened.
