[Net King] Winter Snow

The subtle atmosphere made Uemura Yuriko a little embarrassed. The girl scratched her cheek with her right index finger, and laughed a few times as if nothing happened.The stinging eyes that were originally cast on her were slowly withdrawn, and it was not until several seconds later that the classroom returned to its original noisy appearance.

Lying on the desk like a deflated rubber ball, Yuriko Uemura puffed her cheeks slightly while poking the furry pencil case with her hands. She didn't understand why Makiko Kitano acted so strangely before.The appearance of running away in a hurry like she is like a pest makes people avoid it. Obviously, when they were in the same class before, they could happily talk about the matching of small accessories.

The girls buried their heads between their arms, lying on the table, looking like a dead body.The students around were chatting happily with the front table or the back table. Even Makiko Kitano, who said she had something to do before, squeezed into a chair with another girl she didn't know, talking about some pleasant topics.Yuriko Uemura felt that she was the only one who was excluded from the circle. Obviously, there used to be a circle of people around her laughing and playing with her, but now she was deserted.

The girl who couldn't figure out the reason left and right curled her lips, then shrugged slightly, and stood up from her seat.Since others don't come to talk to her, then it's up to her to take the initiative.Uemura Yuriko never thought that interpersonal communication was difficult, but it was just acquaintance once, and a few people could always get acquainted by talking more.

Having made up her mind, Yuriko Uemura walked towards the last group of girls.Five or six girls seemed to be talking about the topic of cherry blossom viewing in spring, and all of them were beaming with joy on their immature faces.

"Hey, did you go to Kanagawa Park to enjoy the cherry blossoms with your parents this weekend? It's so fun! My dad said he will work overtime this weekend."

"What, you just went to the botanical garden to see Ye Ying a few days ago, and I saw a picture of you wearing a kimono!"

"So, didn't Qinzi go with your brother?"

"That's right, but my brother has a hay fever allergy, so he poked my head and preached for a long time after he got home."

"Hay fever, my mother also has mild allergies." Yuriko Uemura said with a bright smile, taking over from everyone's topic with a smile.

"..."

All of a sudden, the girls who were chatting bustlingly fell silent at the same time, looked at each other for a few seconds, and then smiled reluctantly and embarrassingly at Yuriko Uemura.

"Well, then Uemura-san's mother must be very troubled, hay fever allergies are hard..." The girl called Qinzi broke the silence first, her eyes drifted left and right, but she never fell on Uemura Yuriko, "Yes Yes, my textbook is still in my schoolbag, I'll take it out first."

"Ah! Mine is still in the schoolbag too! You talk first, and I'll go get it too." Another chestnut-haired girl exclaimed and hurried away.

"Wait for me, I'm coming too."

However, in just a few seconds, all the girls who had been huddled in a group scattered in all directions, leaving Yuriko Uemura alone at the back of the classroom, standing still, facing the empty place in front of her with a bright smile. .

Grabbing her own bangs in embarrassment, Yuriko Uemura felt that something was wrong with everyone today.Leaving aside the other two girls she didn't know, Qinzi actually called her "Umura-san" is an obvious sign that something is wrong.The girl who has always been gentle and gentle has been in the same group as her for two consecutive years, and even last year the two of them sat at the front and back tables.Although it can't be said that it's heart and soul, but at least it can be regarded as a friend who often hangs out together.

Yuriko Uemura remembered that when she was on spring break, she still smiled and told herself that next time they would eat cakes and help themselves, but now it has only been about a month, and the other party's eyes on her have become a little evasive and unfamiliar.

Sighing slightly, the girl shook her head helplessly, and sat back in her seat as if giving up.Holding her chin with one hand, Yuriko Uemura watched the cherry blossoms falling from the window in boredom. Her eyes moved along with the petals at a speed of [-] centimeters per second. Finally, when the cherry blossoms fell to a place where the window could not see them, she looked away and looked for another cherry blossom petal again. .

People seem to be able to hear other people's conversations clearly when they are in a state of emptiness. Yuriko Uemura can vaguely hear the topics that the students around her are talking about. The girl in front pouted and complained that the early spring of this year was extremely cold.

Just as Yuriko Uemura was doing nothing and preparing to take a break, words that were deliberately lowered came into her ears.

"I said Muko, what are you going to do?" The girl who shared a chair with Kitano Muko whispered, "Do you want to apply to change seats with the class teacher?"

"Hey..." Kitano, who was asked, hesitated and dragged his voice, "But the head teacher may not agree, and no one should want to exchange seats with me, after all, we are sitting in front of Yuriko Uemura."

"Hush...! Be careful, she will hear you." Another girl whom Uemura Yuriko didn't know suddenly knocked on the head of Kitano Muko and made a silent gesture.

Kitano, who heard the words, looked around for a while, and then lowered his voice a bit, "Hey, what should I do, my mother told me a few days ago not to touch the corrupt criminal's daughter at school, but now she is not only with her A group, and sitting at the front and back tables."

"I can only apply for a change of seat, Muzi, you have a soft personality, so you don't necessarily have to directly say "don't talk to me" to Uemura. "

For a moment, Yuriko Uemura felt as if she had caught something.

About her sudden stagnation when entering the classroom, about Kitano Makiko avoiding her, and about everyone rushing to avoid her and leaving her out of the communication circle.

So everything seems to have an answer.

"Hey, what are you talking about? What happened to Uemura?" A certain boy suddenly intervened in the conversation between Makiko Kitano and the others. Yuriko Uemura was interrupted by a cold snort before she could see the other person's face clearly.

Almost all the girls on Kitano's side looked at the eyes of the class looking at them with a look of embarrassment and embarrassment. While waving their hands and saying nothing, they tugged at the hem of the boy's clothes, signaling him to cooperate with them.

"Ahahaha, I misheard, I misheard, Kitano and the others seem to be talking about lilies or something." The boy said this, and smiled heartily at Yuriko Uemura and other classmates who cast their eyes on them Laughing, patting the back of his head in apology.

"Huh... you scared me to death, Harada-kun, you are trying to kill us!" In the classroom space that gradually calmed down, Yuriko Uemura heard the girl over there complaining.

"Sorry, sorry," the boy called Harada apologized without sincerity, and continued to ask gossip, "By the way, you were talking about Uemura before, what happened to her?"

"Do you really not know or pretend not to know?"

"I really don't know! I traveled abroad with my parents during the holidays. I just returned to Kanagawa yesterday. How could I know what happened at school?"

Several girls looked at each other in dismay, then lowered their voices in a whisper, and whispered something in Harada's ear.

A row of seats away, Uemura Yuriko could only vaguely hear the other party say a few key words, nothing more than words like congressmen, corruption, etc. On the contrary, Harada's expression changed from laughter to shock, and finally he was full of embarrassment. confidence.

"Hey, why are you so surprised?" Another boy came around and poked Harada's waist with his elbow, "Didn't her father have a bad reputation when she was a member of the council, and she would take bribes and things like that?" It's not hard to imagine, is it?"

The boy's voice attracted the attention of a large group of people. The class was already paying attention to the troubles in this area. As soon as they heard the relevant words, they immediately turned their attention to Harada and Kitano, including those who were involved. Uemura Yuriko's gaze.

"Wait...it's too loud!" Harada suddenly covered the mouth of the boy beside him, while making a gesture of lower voice, he apologized to Yuriko Uemura who was looking this way.And the boy seemed not to listen to the persuasion, he just broke Harada's hand and yelled loudly, "What, Ichiro Uemurata can't let others talk about his corruption and bribery? Didn't some people feel invested in the construction project before?" Is the funding strange? Now it’s just the truth. What are you all doing in hiding? It’s not us who did the wrong thing.”

Suddenly, Yuriko Uemura felt angry. Although her father did something wrong, it doesn't mean that she can bear others to use this point to mock her father at will.Stepping over the tables and chairs between them in three steps at a time, Yuriko Uemura grabbed the boy's shoulder and punched him heavily.

The muffled sound of "bang" made everyone stunned in place. Yuriko Uemura only saw the boy look at her with a painful expression, then grabbed her hair frantically, and shouted "I will Knowing that the daughter of a corrupt criminal is not a good person!"

This sentence ignited all Yuriko Uemura's anger like a fuse, she bit her lower lip tightly and wrestled with the boy.She has fought with others for various reasons before, but she has never wanted to shut someone up so frantically like this time.

The blood all over her body was filling her head, and Yuriko Uemura could feel that someone was pulling her to stop beating her, but the ringing in her ears made her only able to hear the words of the boy in front of her constantly insulting her father, and At the same time, the other party grabbed her hair and twisted the pain of her arm.

"stop!!!"

Suddenly, a powerful shout came into the ears of Yuriko Uemura. When she finally woke up from the state of being stunned, she only saw herself and the boy being pulled away by several people, and Genichiro Sanada at the door of the class Then he cast a stern look at her with a dark face.
