Love Comes After Learning

"what……"

Thoughts were interrupted, Yotsuba couldn't help but exclaimed.

The next bat was handed over to Asahina from the track and field department. She rushed out like the wind, her short blue hair turned into light and shadow, and instantly pulled the small gap to even.

Even though he was still slower than when he was healthy, and even if the other hand was holding a heavy discus, that was still not a speed that untrained literature students could stand side by side. Asahina-san soon passed the next corner. Players from the White team.

The atmosphere was like water pouring into a frying pan, boiling up to a higher level, and cheers filled Clover's ears.

She suddenly realized that there were smiles on everyone's faces.

In sweat and dust, they raised their fists, they looked forward, they roared, and they smiled brightly. Even the red team, whose advantage had disappeared, was still blushing and immersed in the tense situation. Anxiety about impending defeat.

It seems to be saying - winning is winning, losing is losing, as long as you do your best, you can accept the result calmly.

There is no doubt that no matter where you are, everyone is enjoying the last moments of the sports festival.

She is the only one left.

"So this is ah……"

Yotsuba slowly loosened her fist, subconsciously touching her cheek.

"It doesn't matter if I don't win the victory..."

Every part of the body gradually relaxed, and the warm atmosphere around him constantly stimulated the nerves, as if a dose of anesthetic had been injected, making the pain and discomfort recede like a tide.

"Even if you don't play in person, if you trust everyone, encourage everyone, and support everyone, can you become more satisfied and happy than anyone else..."

The palm slowly covered the mouth, hiding the helpless smile behind the palm.

"Asada-san, I really am an idiot."

It's such a simple truth, but it's only now that I can understand it.

Yotsuba stared at the tense game on the playground without looking away.

It was the last leg, and the runners of the red and white teams were almost shoulder to shoulder and slammed their legs towards the finish line, with fierce expressions on their faces.

Suddenly putting down her hand, Yotsuba raised her head and took a deep breath, filling her lungs with air.

Even though her chest and nasal cavity were swollen and painful, Yotsuba didn't stop taking deep breaths until she confirmed that her body could no longer inhale any more air, then she held her mouth tightly like a frog about to stick out its tongue.

Now, she wants to do what she is today and has been passively enjoying, but forgets to take the initiative to do things.

Both hands were raised again, erected in front of the mouth in the shape of a loudspeaker, Nakano Yotsuba tensed up and began to accumulate strength.

come on……

Always accepting the expectations of others, but never expecting those who have talents and work hard.

come on……

I always think about others for myself, but I have been unwilling to really understand that they don't need their own care, they are stronger than anyone else.

come on……

Nakano Yotsuba is such a bad person who is not confident in herself and does not trust others.

come on……

She is always hesitant, pretending to be strong, worrying her most important people, like a child, always unreliable at critical moments.

However, even so.

Now Nakano Yotsuba, there is one thing that everyone can do, but she can do it alone.

On the edge of the noisy playground.

She stood up from the wheelchair, disregarding the fall of the quilt and the dizzy head of anemia, she just turned all the air in her chest into her own voice, and shouted out with all her strength:

"come on--!!"

take a deep breath and shout again

"Red team, come on ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The sound of cheering with a smile resounded under the November sky as if it was about to break through the clouds covering the sun.

Figures staggered on the runway.

Under the tense eyes of everyone, the white line before the finish line was suddenly knocked down.

"Beep-"

The moment the whistle sounded, the outcome was decided.

Accompanied by the screams and applause from the master of ceremonies and the audience.

The red balloons covering the sky of Shuzhiin Academy rose slowly, as if celebrating the victory at this moment.

Yotsuba opened her sky-blue eyeballs, opened her mouth wide enough to put down an egg, and her body froze in place in astonishment.

The grin on his lips gradually became more obvious, excited, and arrogant with the announcement of the game result.

[Today's sports festival——

The red team wins by a thrill. 】

"yeah--!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The results of the red and white battles have been announced, and the top three in various competitions also came to the stage to receive the awards one by one. Nakano Yotsuba was unable to go on stage due to illness, and his quintuplet sister Nakano Nino received the award on her behalf.

"It's the first time in my life that I received so many medals, and I actually helped my younger sister..." Er Nao, who stepped down with a bunch of medals, was in a rather complicated mood.

Amidst the lingering atmosphere, this year's Shuchiin Academy Sports Festival has finally come to an official conclusion.

The heads of the school gates are swaying, and there are constantly seemingly luxurious cars leaving the campus, as if they are peeling off the cocoon, gradually pulling out the little vitality left in the school.

Asada and others are also among them, but they are not planning to go home, but appear here to see Yotsuba off.

Cleaning up the aftermath is the job of the executive committee of the sports festival, and has nothing to do with the student union—except for Yotsuba, she is a sports committee member of the student union, and naturally also serves as an important cadre in the executive committee.

But now Clover had to go to the hospital for an examination, so they decided to finish the work she had to do, so as to prevent the executive committee from being short-staffed, or that someone would have opinions on Clover.

"I'm really sorry... After recovering, what are your orders, Yotsuba, I will definitely go through fire and water, and I will die..."

Pushed by Sanjiu in the wheelchair, Yotsuba, who had changed back to the green hair band, bowed her head in shame, as if the perpetrator was begging for forgiveness from the victim's family.

And the people she apologized to were the staff members of the Student Association who looked rather helpless.

"I don't hesitate... Forget it, it seems okay to say that." Er Nai sighed, as if he was too lazy to teach her any more, and waved his hands weakly.

"Take your medals and hurry to the hospital. Mr. Jiang Rui is almost here."

"Hey hey~" Yotsuba scratched her head in embarrassment. There was a pile of gold medals hanging around her neck, which were the trophies that Nino had received for her; the only bronze medal was given to the three-legged partner of the two. It was Ogata Rizu who kept it.

She looked around the crowd, put her hands on her knees, looked serious again, and apologized solemnly.

"Today, I really caused trouble for everyone..."

As soon as he was halfway through speaking, Er Nai suddenly widened his eyes, and shot at her, "You can try talking nonsense to me again?" 』's ferocious eyes, Yotsuba suddenly stretched her ears, and quickly sped up her speech.

"Let me be in charge of cleaning the house after you recover! Fumino Ritzu is the same, if you need my help in the future, just say no problem! By the way, help me say sorry to everyone in the track and field department and the sports committee!"

After speaking, Yotsuba glanced at Asada, but didn't say anything, she just raised her head and gestured to Sanjiu.

After Sanjiu received the look and said goodbye to everyone, she pushed Yotsuba to the school gate and waited for the old driver Jiang Rui to pick her up.

Behind the two of them, Wu Yue withdrew his eyes of seeing him off, and smiled with emotion:

"Have you finally untied the knot in your heart...I always feel that Yotsuba is a lot more relaxed now..."

The rest nodded in agreement.

Compared with her who was forced by the heavy pressure all day long and desperately pursued the victory, she really had a feeling of seeing the sun behind the clouds.

"It's right to be honest." Er Nai folded his hands on his chest and said angrily, "That child, he keeps a lot of worries in his mind and doesn't talk about it. He always tries to make everyone smile. When he gets up, he doesn't even care about himself. ...It’s not tiring to live like this, how stupid.”

Saying so, there was a touch of distress and pride in her eyes that she didn't even realize.

Feeling sorry for the pain suffered by her sister, and proud of Yotsuba's gentle character.

"Well, if it weren't for being too gentle, many people would be able to live more easily than now." Wen Nai couldn't help but sigh softly, and then, seemingly unintentionally, said to Asada beside him:

"Are you right? Asada-kun who saved another lost girl."

"Ah."

Asada just smiled dismissively. As the president, how could he fail to hear the irony in Secretary Guqiao's words?

There is no need to care about such words at all, just perfunctory.

So Asada said:

"The words spoken by His Highness the Sleeping Beauty of the Literature Forest are naturally reasonable, and I am deeply moved, with tears streaming down my face, and there is no way to refute them."

"Don't be so yin and yang over there."

Glancing at his sincere and honest appearance, Wen Nai quietly gave him a crutch, not using force, just acting, more like flirting.

All kinds of subtle glances glanced over, and then retracted as if nothing had happened.

By the way, Nakano Maruo cut off the communication after the game, as if he didn't want to stay in Asada's phone for a moment, and only left orders for Yotsuba to go to the hospital for an examination and the others to go home early.

"Okay, since Clover has left, let's help clean up!"

A pair of hands suddenly stretched out from the side, pushing Asada away from Fumino's side.

Nino put his hands on Asada's shoulders, and while pushing him towards the sports executive committee, he secretly cast a glance at Fumino.

Their gazes met in a flash, sparks burst out in the air for a moment, and the two smiled at the same time, releasing the intention of confrontation with a half-smile, and turned their faces away again.

Wuyue and Lizhu also followed, walking back towards the school against the crowd of students and parents who were about to leave the campus.

On the way, following Asada Shenhou step by step, Er Nao suddenly untied his ponytail, kept fanning the back of his head, and complained at the same time.

"Obviously it's the end of autumn, why is it so boring to tie a ponytail... The hair is loose and heavy and hot, no matter how you do it, it's not right."

Asada replied casually, "Then tie a double ponytail."

"No, that's not suitable for me!" Er Nai refused decisively.

"The side ponytail looks good too." Asada said again.
