really weird.
Su Qing was like the backbone of their group, making people want to get closer to her.
However, it's also possible that he's just too slow at packing his schoolbag, making people impatient and waiting for him.
"You guys go ahead? I have something to do in the next class."
Su Qing glanced at the group of people, then slung her backpack over her shoulder and said...
"...Okay, we'll wait for you in the office."
Something?
Could it be that he's going to see a female classmate?
Although Hikigaya had a fairly good opinion of his appearance, he felt that he was still a little inferior to Su Qing.
Um... really, only a little.
He glanced towards the door instinctively, but there were no students from other classes there.
"Is something the matter? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Unable to go to the club office with Su Qing, Yui didn't seem disappointed at all; instead, she took the initiative to ask.
"No need. Just tell Yukino that I'll be a few minutes late."
Su Qing smiled at Yui and declined.
He could actually contact Yukino through e, but it would be more convenient for Yui and the others to relay this verbally.
"Okay... alright then, we'll be going now!"
The two groups briefly parted ways at the entrance of Class C. Yui and her two companions headed to the Service Club, while Su Qing went to Class B to find Mahiru.
?
Perhaps overwhelmed by the excitement of the school trip, everyone was busy packing their bags and such when they got back, so there were only a handful of people in Class B at the moment.
Su Qing quietly walked in through the back door and immediately spotted the flaxen-haired girl.
Quietly approaching Mahiru from behind, Su Qing noticed that Mahiru seemed to be sitting in her seat, doing something.
"Aren't you done yet? Let me help you?"
Su Qing suddenly leaned down, her voice very soft.
The sudden approach and words did not make Mahiru feel nervous or frightened; her unique voice made her immediately recognize that the speaker was Su Qing.
Therefore, she immediately looked up in surprise, a sweet smile spreading across her face, and whispered:
"Boyfriend, are you here to pick me up from school?"
"Yes. I missed you, so I came to find you."
Su Qing expressed his longing without any reservation.
However, that's not the truth.
Because the longing is more than just a little.
Rather, it is "very".
"Well, actually, I missed you too..."
Mahiru lowered her head shyly, a blush rising on both sides of her face.
After a smug smile, she raised her eyes and whispered.
She really liked this about Su Qing!
Say anything.
His unreserved expression of his emotions gave her a sense of satisfaction and reassurance.
Unfortunately, this happened in the classroom, and there were other people around.
Otherwise, she would probably cling to Su Qing again.
There is nothing we can do about it.
The feeling of liking someone makes you want to touch them.
After they got together, these feelings became even harder to control.
So what are you doing?
Su Qing also suppressed his desire to touch the girl up close and began to shift his attention.
"Hmm...want to know?"
Mahiru smiled mischievously at first, then asked mysteriously.
"I want to know everything about you."
Su Qing answered without hesitation.
Perhaps these were just ordinary words to him, but to Mahiru, they were a devastating blow.
"...Actually, I was drawing your portrait."
Mahiru blushed slightly and took out a piece of white paper. Only some outlines could be seen on it, and it was clear that it was far from being a finished product.
"Draw me?"
Su Qing was taken aback upon hearing this.
Then, looking at the unfinished piece, a strange flutter of emotion stirred within me.
Perhaps it was a feeling of being moved, or maybe something else entirely.
"Why did you suddenly decide to draw me?"
"...Nothing much, I just missed you and naturally wanted to draw you. But I don't have a model, so I can only draw from memory. And I only started today, so I haven't drawn much yet."
Mahiru continued to explain, but the more she talked, the more embarrassed she felt. After glancing at the unfinished piece of paper again, she finally decided to put it away.
Um....
It's fair to say that if the real person came, this half-finished product wouldn't be needed.
After a while.
Mahiru packed her schoolbag, and the two of them walked out of the classroom together, went to the shoe locker, and left the school building.
November.
The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is significant.
Especially the first step outside, the cold wind always seeps in relentlessly.
Fortunately, Su Qing was standing in front of Mahiru, so Mahiru didn't feel cold at all; on the contrary, she felt quite warm.
However, she still preferred the feeling of walking side by side with Su Qing, for no particular reason.
Actually, all I wanted to do was hold his hand.
The next moment, she trotted over to Su Qing's side like a nimble little sparrow, looking up at him with a smile.
Su Qing looked at Mahiru with a smile.
it is more than words.
?
It was late autumn.
The sycamore trees planted on campus, which were originally a vibrant golden expanse, now have almost no leaves left to shed.
However, even in December, when winter officially begins, it is unlikely to become a barren wasteland.
Even under the blanket of snow, the sycamore trees stand resiliently in the cold wind, ready to welcome the new year.
Facing the wind, the remaining leaves sway gracefully on the branches, as if performing their final dance.
The sunlight, like golden threads, easily penetrated the crisscrossing trunks of the sycamore trees, casting dappled shadows on their faces.
The cheerful laughter of other students could be heard from all around, adding a touch of life and vitality to the autumn campus once again.
For some reason, Mahiru's gaze gradually softened.
The once ordinary scenery has unexpectedly become beautiful.
This was something Mahiru had never known before.
very happy.
I really want to share.
Mahiru immediately turned to look at Su Qing, intending to say something like, "I've never thought the school was so beautiful."
But when Su Qing turned around and looked at her, she choked up for no reason.
Words that have vanished are like fallen leaves.
— Symbolizing [apoptosis].
At the same time, it is also quietly nurturing tender green buds for the coming year.
— Symbolizing [new life].
Then Mahiru slowly stopped, her lips moving slightly, her eyes shining brightly.
She whispered to Su Qing:
"Qingjun, do you know?"
Dining together, going home, holding hands.
These things happened before I met you.
They are called eating, going home from school, and the wind.
After meeting you.
My world seemed to have become vibrant and beautiful.

Chapter 276 Mahiru and Baijiri
?
Backlit, Su Qing's figure seemed to be enveloped in a golden halo.
He slowly reached out his hand, his slender fingers gently brushing away the fallen leaves from Mahiru's head.
—The flaxen hair unexpectedly complements the yellowish hue of autumn, creating a natural painting-like effect.
He placed his hand on the other person's head and gently patted it twice.
His gaze was fixed on Mahiru's face, and the tenderness in his eyes was like a babbling brook, almost overflowing like water.
"Besides these, there are many more things waiting for us to do together, aren't there?"
After our school trip ends, let's find some time to take some outdoor photos together.
I want to travel around with you, and I also want to paint a picture of you.
May I? "
"Hmm...okay, I'm looking forward to it."
Mahiru nodded slightly, then quietly took the other person's hand.
A gentle breeze stirred, and the pedestrians around instinctively pulled themselves closer, raising their scarves even higher.
Everyone seemed cold.
Fortunately, Mahiru's "Daytime" was right beside her.
and so.
It's really warm.
Not just the palms of my hands, but also the heart that is beating so vigorously right now.
