[comprehensive] poor students

Mochizuki found that after the fainting incident, the members of the tennis club became more and more kind to him. Not only would they greet him every day, but they would even rush to help him when he was working hard.

Although they don't know what caused their attitudes to change 180 degrees, Mochizuki feels that these days are very warm, and they also enjoy the atmosphere of the community.

And Atobe didn't know what was going on in his head, so he insisted on stopping him, wanting to send the subsidy gold to him immediately.

"Senior, didn't you say that it will be credited at the end of the month? It's still a week away." Mochizuki put down the racket in his hand, turned around and picked up a wet towel beside him, and tilted his head at him suspiciously.

He has now been successfully promoted from a cleaner in the locker room to a regular training partner, which is gratifying.

"Ah? I decided to overdraft you in advance." With an unquestionable attitude, Atobe pointed at him with a finger, and said with a dark face: "I don't want to see someone fainted every now and then. , Delaying the normal operation of club activities.”

He heavily emphasized the word 'fainted' again.

Speaking of this, Mochizuki also recalled that everyone was in a hurry after he fainted, and lowered their heads a little guilty, as if they were deeply introspective.

Then he said lightly:

"Well... no, I can't just accept your offer."

"Mochizuki Matsu, you are enough!!!"

What answered him was Atobe's lingering roar that lingered for three days.

Under Atobe's tough attitude, Mochizuki received a huge amount of 2 yen at one time, and his eyes were a little dull.

In the gentle or gratifying sight of everyone, he left the school with fluttering steps.

At noon the next day, Mochizuki climbed up to the roof together with Hochotaro carrying a heavy bento.

"Yo, you are here." The candidates who had already sat on the roof greeted each other with a smile.

"Oh, Mochizuki, what delicious food did you bring today." Renzuzu saw the white cloth in Mochizuki's hand with sharp eyes, and asked with a teasing smile.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes came together. After all, when the Atobu issued the subsidy yesterday, almost everyone noticed it.Now seeing Mochizuki preparing a rare bento, I don't know whether I am a little relieved or a little sad.

Mochizuki was in a very good mood, with a hint of joy in her eyes, she curled her lips and opened her lunch box under the curious eyes of everyone.

Everyone stretched their necks and looked at his hands expectantly.

Then the corners of his mouth froze.

——A box of white rice is full, only the top layer is dotted with a touch of emerald green.

"..." Plain rice? !

The candidates were silent at the same time.

At this moment, Shishido, who didn't know how to read the atmosphere the least, frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Is that all? Where's the food?"

Mochizuki blinked, and put the bento a little further away from Shishido. He pointed to the green vegetables on the white and asked, "Here, Senior Shishido's eyesight has deteriorated."

"Huh? How is it possible? I still want to ask you, how can this green vegetable that is thinner than your finger count as a dish?!"

Without waiting for Mochizuki to continue explaining, Atobe interrupted Shishido's furious roar, and shot his sharp eyes at Mochizuki. He folded his arms and asked in a cold voice: "Where is the subsidy going?"

When the subsidy was mentioned, Mochizuki's mood brightened even more. He held a lunch box with a happy face and thanked him: "Thank you, Senior Atobe. The subsidy has really helped me a lot. I owe two months of electricity bills and water bills." After all the rent, interest, etc. have been paid off, there is still money left to buy a catty of rice, thanks to it, I can finally eat rice again after a lapse of three months."

Atobe: "..."

He knows nothing about poverty!

Feng, who had been listening to Mochizuki's narration with a smile all the time, heard this, and suddenly felt a hot current welling up in her eyes, and couldn't help sobbing secretly, covering her face with her hands behind her body.

Mochizuki ah ah ah ah ah!

"Speaking of which, I owe two months of electricity bills...then how do you survive." Yue Ren opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"Ah, it's okay." Mochizuki waved his hand and explained plainly: "I don't have any electrical equipment at home. If it's too dark at night, there are candles at home, so don't worry at all."

"Ah... that's right." Yue Ren shrank awkwardly, feeling as if he had asked a question that shouldn't be asked.

Seeing the embarrassment pervading the scene, Renzu quickly changed the subject: "After talking so much, the rice is going to be cold, let's eat quickly."

"Yeah."

Everyone moved their hands mechanically, sending food into their mouths like chewing wax.

"... Mochizuki." Feng, whose eyes were still a little red, forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and said to Mochizuki who looked over: "I, I am a picky eater, there are some things I don't like, can I give it to you? "

He pointed to the delicious-looking potatoes in his bento box.

Mochizuki's eyes straightened immediately: "Please be sure."

Seeing that Mochizuki accepted Feng's food happily, the rest of the people followed suit.

"I don't like eggs either, why don't I give them to Mochizuki-kun."

"I don't like green peppers either! I'll give you all of them."

"...Hey, Yue Ren, you really don't like green peppers, do you?"

"Huh?!...Of course not!!"

In the end, Atobe even gave him a few pieces of beef with a gentle face.

"Senior Atobe doesn't even like beef..." Mochizuki looked at him with pity.

ha?Who is he doing this for? !

Atobe snapped his fingers, and the veins popped up on his forehead instantly. He resisted the desire to beat someone, and said angrily: "Ah, do you have any objections, you bastard."

"……No."

Mochizuki didn't seem to have had such a sumptuous lunch for a long time, not only was there a smile on his lips, but even his eyes were shining with happiness.

Looking at his appearance with a smile, the other candidates couldn't help but smile at each other.

For a while, the atmosphere was very warm.

While everyone was chatting and laughing, Yue Ren still couldn't hold back, and bluntly raised a topic that everyone had been avoiding.

"Why is Mochizuki's family so poor?"

The air froze for a moment.

Yue Ren sensitively sensed the change in the atmosphere, and was looking around suspiciously, when he noticed that the eyes of the people around him were all shooting over, and the terrifying eyes almost made him tremble.

The only thing that hasn't changed is Mochizuki who is still eating bento.

"Hmm." Mochizuki nodded her cheeks, still with a smile on her face, and did not evade the question: "Because the family went bankrupt and owed more than 2 million yuan. My father ran away with the money, and my mother quickly remarried, so I can only rely on my efforts to repay the debt." He said lightly, as if he didn't feel sad at all because of this.

"..." After listening, everyone's faces went blank for an instant.

It seemed that there was a heavy stone on his chest, and he was so depressed that he couldn't breathe.

Yue Ren also realized the inappropriateness of this question, and scratched his hair in embarrassment, with a look of bewilderment.

"I'm full." After Mochizuki swept away the last bit of rice in the bento, he suddenly stood up and bowed thankfully to everyone: "Seniors' food is delicious, thank you very much. I still have something to do If you want to do it, you will leave first."

After he disappeared on the rooftop with brisk steps, everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere just now and couldn't extricate themselves.

Renzu suddenly raised his palm and gave Yue Ren a knife: "Think twice before acting, idiot."

Yue Ren, who was in some pain from being smashed, held his head, and it was rare that he didn't quarrel with him, but responded in a low voice: "...I was wrong."

"Damn it, what kind of parents can abandon their children and run away!" Shido almost broke his chopsticks in anger.

Everyone was cursing silently, but they felt very sorry for that young man in their hearts.

However, Feng, who used to say almost three words without leaving Mochizuki, did not speak out for a long time, but sat there with his head down. Shishido looked over with some doubts: "Changataro?"

"Hmm..." Feng responded softly, he slowly covered his eyes with his arms, and suddenly howled facing the sky: "Senior Shishido, why, how, would there be such a poor person... bankrupt ...the parents ran away...can't afford to eat...It's just like a novel, it's so sad, oh, Mochizuki—"

He no longer suppressed his emotions, beat the ground with his hands, tears streaming down his face, and all kinds of negative emotions flooded up.

Shishido could only pat him on the back comfortingly, but he couldn't say a word of persuasion.

"We just need to care about him in our own way." Atobe glanced at a circle of depressed members, and said calmly as the leader: "That guy doesn't want us to show such an expression, didn't see him Do you smile when you talk about your family?"

Yes, Mochizuki would definitely not want to see such a result.

"No matter what you think in your heart, whether it's pretending or acting, don't show such a stupid face in front of him, understand."

"Yes." Everyone nodded in agreement, their eyes full of determination.

Mochizuki, who hadn't left for a long time, leaned silently on the roof gate, listening to everyone's words clearly. It wasn't until Atobe's last note ended that he suddenly smiled brightly and turned to leave.

Sure enough, he was really happy to meet a group of kind people.

-

"Oh, do you want to go home? Mochizuki." After the club ended, Atobe quickly stopped Mochizuki who was about to evacuate quickly, showing a gentle smile: "I will send you off."

Although Mochizuki often made him angry, he couldn't bear to treat him as harshly as he would a member of staff. Maybe it was because he admired his qualities, or maybe it was because he pityed what happened to him.

"Thank you senior, but there's no need." Mochizuki held the schoolbag and handed him a smile with a sideways face.

"Ah, is it because you can't accept favors for nothing?" The expected rejection, Atobe could almost predict what this guy was going to say.

Unexpectedly, Mochizuki shook her head: "No, I'm going to work next."

"So that's how it is." Atobu had heard about his part-time job: "What kind of work are you going to do?"

"Burger shop, ramen shop, grocery store, newspaper delivery..." Mochizuki counted them one by one with his fingers.

After he finished babbling, Atobu looked at him with a constipated face: "Why are there so many?"

"It's just the minimum living expenses. If there is no club, there will be more."

"Then when will you be able to go home, what about your homework? What about your studies?" How did you get the first place in the grade?

"It can be over before ten o'clock, and I will study for a few hours later. Please rest assured that I will not delay my study!" Mochizuki said firmly, clenched her fists.

"Then, I'm going to be late, let's go first."

"Ah yes."

Until Mochizuki's figure disappeared at the door for a long time, Atobe still maintained the same appearance just now, standing in place silently.Shinobu walked a little closer in a strange way, and glanced at his expression.

After a while, he sighed helplessly and patted him on the shoulder: "It will make headlines for the dignified student council president to cry here, and he has to go."

"It's so annoying, my uncle didn't cry, eh, woo."

What answered him was the sobbing voice of a certain uncle.

The author has something to say: This chapter is not very interesting, it should be said that it is more sad, explaining the reason why Mochizuki is so poor.

This article as a whole depicts a series of sad episodes from a joyful perspective. It would be great if we could understand the mood of some impoverished students.

By the way, everyone thinks that the name of the topic needs to be changed, but I can't think of any good suggestions. If you have a little angel with a brain hole, you can leave a message!
