The author of the depressing comic book series makes the heroine cry.

Xia Qiu waved her hand gently, with a gentle smile on her face, and comforted her: "It's okay, Ayase-san, it's all water, there's no difference."

Ayase bit her lower lip, her eyes lowered with embarrassment and shyness, and whispered: "But... this is so rude."

Her hands were tugging at the corners of her clothes anxiously, and she felt extremely annoyed.

At this time, the students around also noticed this scene and began to discuss it in low voices.

Several girls covered their mouths and giggled, while the boys looked jealous.

"Ayase-chan, given our relationship, this is nothing."

Xia Qiu looked at Ayase-chan's shy and self-blaming expression and patted her shoulder with a smile.

Hearing this, Ayase raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Xia Qiu. Seeing his eyes full of sincerity and concern, her cheeks became hotter and she stammered, "Xia Qiu, thank you!"

As he said this, he bowed even more.

Xia Qiu was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Why should he perform such a grand ceremony?

At this time, the photographer, holding the camera, almost ran to Xia Qiu and Ayase.

"Teachers, this shoot is all thanks to you two. You worked so well together."

"Come and see, this sense of camera and expression is absolutely amazing!"

As he spoke, the photographer turned the camera screen towards them, showing a set of previously taken photos.

In the picture, Xia Qiu and Ayase are standing in front of the classroom window filled with sunlight, and the light and shadow outline their silhouettes perfectly.

Xia Qiu's eyes were deep and gentle, and Ayase lowered her head shyly. There seemed to be an invisible and heart-warming atmosphere between the two of them.

The same goes for the other photos, each one is of high quality!

Xia Qiu looked at the photos and was not surprised to find that both he and Aragaki Ayase had extraordinary looks and good temperaments.

It would be really weird if I can’t take good photos.

Aragaki Ayase, who was standing next to her, looked at the photos of herself and Xia Qiu in various styles and felt a little unrecognizable.

Sure enough, a handsome man paired with a pretty woman can achieve the best effect.

Taking advantage of this high spirit, the photographer struck while the iron was hot: "We are in such a good state, let's continue shooting the remaining scenes, the latter ones will definitely be more exciting!"

Xia Qiu and Ayase looked at each other and nodded.

Afterwards, the filming location was changed, this time to an internal walkway of a school, with cherry blossom trees lined up in an orderly manner on both sides of the road.

Seeing this scene, Xia Qiu subconsciously thought of Clannad.

The scene where Tomoya and Nagisa first met.

Beautiful to the extreme!

"Teacher Xiaqiu, you stand under the cherry tree. Ayase-san, you walk slowly towards us from a distance with a look of surprise and expectation in your eyes."

Ayase took a deep breath, and as the photographer requested, she walked slowly towards Xia Qiu with light steps.

The sunlight shone through the gaps between the cherry trees, creating patches of mottled light and shadows on her body. Her pretty face looked even more charming against the backdrop of the petals.

Kousaka Kirino, who was waiting nearby, watched this scene and couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in her heart.

On the one hand, she was happy that Ayase had such a wonderful filming experience. After all, this was what her best friend had been looking forward to.

On the other hand, seeing how well matched Xia Qiu and Ayase were under the cherry tree, she felt a little envious.

"It would be nice if I could have this kind of interaction with Senior Xia Qiu..."

Kousaka Kirino thought to herself, then shook her head, trying to get rid of the thought, "Kousaka Kirino, what are you thinking about? Ayase is your best friend!"

At this time, Ayase walked in front of Xia Qiu, and the photographer said again: "Teacher Xia Qiu, please gently reach out your hand, catch a falling petal, and then pass it to Ayase."

Xia Qiu nodded, picked up the petals on the ground casually, threw them up, then gently caught a petal with her slender fingers and handed it to Ayase.

Ayase raised her head slightly and met Xia Qiu's eyes, her eyes full of shyness and excitement.

"Click, click", the photographer kept pressing the shutter, he was completely crazy with excitement!

As the shooting progressed, the two seemed to be immersed in a romantic world, everything around them gradually blurred, leaving only each other and the flying cherry blossoms.

Finally, all the scenes were shot.

The photographer looked at the photos in the camera, his face flushed with excitement, and he exclaimed: "Teachers, this photo shoot is simply perfect. Every photo can be used as a magazine cover!"

Xia Qiu and Ayase smiled at each other. Although the shooting process was a bit tiring, seeing such outstanding results made them feel that all the efforts were worth it.

At this time, the photographer rubbed his hands excitedly and announced loudly: "The mission was perfectly accomplished! The professional performance of the two teachers made this shoot achieve results beyond our expectations."

As he spoke, he took out a thick envelope from his bag and handed it to Xia Qiu respectfully, "This is your reward, a little token of my appreciation for your strong support for our work. Your participation has made this shoot invaluable."

Xia Qiu took the envelope and felt the weight inside. It was a good amount, at least five times more than last time.

He smiled gently and said politely, "You're welcome. It's a pleasure to work with you."

At this time, the sky was getting darker, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the campus orange-red.

Xia Qiu looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, I should go back. It's been a pleasure working with you all today."

Kousaka Kirino came over at this time and stood side by side with Ayase. They both said in unison: "Xia Qiu-senpai, thank you so much for today."

Then Aragaki Ayase hesitated for a moment, mustered up the courage to say: "Xia Qiu senior, it's getting late, how about we have dinner together? I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you."

Kousaka Kirino also echoed: "Yes, yes, Xia Qiu senior, let's have a meal together and get together."

In fact, Kousaka Kirino was also very conflicted. She hoped that Xia Qiu could stay for dinner so that she could spend more time with him.

He was also worried that he would behave too strangely at the dinner table and that Ayase would see through his unspeakable little thoughts.

Xia Qiu smiled and shook her head, declining politely: "Thank you for your kindness, but someone is waiting for me at home, so I really can't stay for dinner. Let's get together again next time if we have a chance."

If we delay any longer, we will probably be attacked by Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha in a mixed doubles match.

Aragaki Ayase was very reluctant to leave, her eyes lingering on Xia Qiu, but she still nodded in understanding.

"Okay, Senior Xia Qiu, please be careful on the road."

Xia Qiu waved to them and turned to leave.

After leaving Sakura Academy, Xia Qiu prepared to take the tram back.

What surprised him was that when he passed by a park, he inadvertently saw a figure.

The girl was wearing a black dress and sitting alone on a bench in the park. The atmosphere around her seemed to be tinged with a layer of loneliness because of her.

The girl held a guitar in her arms, her fingers plucking the strings casually, but the notes produced were chaotic.

Why does this girl look so familiar?
