Xinying swears that she didn't want to hear such boring things on purpose.

At that time, she was sitting by the piano she found behind the backstage curtain, tapping the keys boredly, and from time to time glanced at Shuli who was seriously reviewing the lines with other actors.

Hasegawa-senpai's words are correct... She stopped her fingers and leaned on the piano boredly.The first pass is a customary uninterrupted cutscene, and then it is the repeated revision of various details in the performance.The boy surnamed Zetian who is in charge of sound effects in the drama department has already taken her music to process and edit on the computer, and when the finished product is finished, he can audition the effect of the soundtrack performance.

And at this moment, the whispers of several first-year girls who were resting by the curtain reached her ears.The position of the curtain happened to block the figures behind the piano, so the unscrupulous whispers of these few——Xinying could tell that there were three—girls whispered carelessly into her ears.

"Hey, what do you think is the relationship between the female student of the girls' high school and Matsuda-kun? Hey, I mean the black-haired one!" Xinying froze for half a second before she understood the "black-haired one" they were talking about. Female high school student" was talking about herself.She gave a low cough in embarrassment, trying to slip away from the other side of the curtain.

Her half-covered half-reminder cough was overwhelmed by another girl's words: "I don't know... It's indeed the first time I saw her, but the one named Muye has seen her here many times. However, "Girl B sneered twice, "She finally let go of that ridiculous 'pineapple head'."

Liu Ji directly became "Pineapple Head surnamed Muye" in their mouths.Xinying froze in place.She was about to stand up, but at this moment she slowly sat back on the piano bench.She rested her chin on the palm of her hand, and began eavesdropping on the private conversation unceremoniously.

"That Miss Makino has a good relationship not only with Matsuda-kun, but also with Li Jun from Class B and Shuli!" The voice of the third girl sounded gentle, making people feel very Comfortable.And she was not at all like the aggressive, jealous and sarcastic attitude of the two before, she was just stating a fact in a calm tone.

"Ah, it's really enviable, I also want to have a good relationship with Matsuda-kun~" Girl A sighed in a nympho, "If one day I can chat with Matsuda-kun smoothly, then I will never have a relationship with Matsuda-kun in this life." Any regrets!" Girl A's airy tone made Xinying curl her mouth helplessly.

"But I heard that they seem to have become friends since they were in the same elementary school, so it's natural that they have a good relationship?" The girl C with a gentle voice giggled twice, and then said.

"By the way," girl A suddenly remembered something, "I remember, Xiao Nana, didn't you go to the same junior high school as Matsuda-kun and Kato?"

"Yes, yes." Girl B also echoed.

The "little Nana" they affectionately called should be girl C.Girl C——Nanai responded shyly: "Well, Shangzi, do you have any questions?"

Girl B replaced girl A——Shangzi asked the question in her heart: "She must want to know about that 'black hair', since Nana and they are in the same junior high school, you should have heard what they said Her name, I remember that Senior Hasegawa called her Yao... Yao, what is it, it’s just a strange name.” After some discussion, they brought the center of the topic back to Xinying.

"Black hair"...Xinying symbolically wiped the sweat from her forehead.After listening for so long, she no longer had any excuse to slip away before these people left.

"Yao Xinying, it seems that's right." What surprised Xinying was that the girl whose name was Nana actually pronounced the syllables of her name accurately, and just listened to others repeating it unconsciously, and she actually remembered it like that up.

"Sure enough, you know it! Hey, hurry up and listen!" Perhaps because of his excitement, Shangzi didn't notice that he had raised his voice unconsciously.Xinying imagined that she and girl B leaned towards Nana from left to right, eagerly waiting for her answer.

But then she heard nothing.Most of all the voices were drowned in senior Hasegawa's dissatisfied scolding, as if something went wrong in a certain detail in a certain department, out of anger, Hasegawa also raised his voice.

Xinying leaned back.Through the analysis of the curtain, she found that the person who was reprimanded by Hasegawa was Zetian who was in charge of sound effects.She straightened her body in embarrassment, thinking about whether she should find an excuse to leave here first.

And at this moment, Nana's soft voice sounded again: "She is Chinese. I have heard Mr. Matsuda mention this name to Mr. Li. 'Xin', that's what Mr. Matsuda called her."

"Hey hey hey!" Shangzi couldn't hide her surprise anymore, "So so...are they already calling their names directly? And it's still..." She stammered, but found that she could no longer Can't go on.

"It can't be...she and Matsuda-kun, it can't be...the relationship?" This kind of probing tone contained a sense of sourness in the depths.Although she couldn't see girl B's face, Xinying could still imagine her current expression.

"No! Absolutely not! She..." Nana, who was calm and gentle before, suddenly raised her voice. She interrupted girl B's speculation with extreme excitement, but she suddenly lost her voice when she was about to say the last and most crucial argument. .

There was a moment of silence behind the curtain.

"Nanai?" The girl A who listened carefully was a little impatient, "Don't be a secret!"

"Nai Nai, are you okay?" Girl B calmed down. She quickly noticed the abnormal situation, and asked her friend with concern, "Your complexion is not very good... Is there something wrong? Or..." Or We asked questions we shouldn't have asked.She opened her mouth in embarrassment, and swallowed back the question that was inappropriate to say now.

Xinying doesn't care about Miss Nana's specific situation.She just felt that continuing to hide in this hidden position would only make her more restless.The ladylike etiquette that she has observed all year round has made her clearly understand that it is not the right move to hide and listen to this kind of whisper that is only shared among close female friends.She regretted a little, why she spontaneously stopped leaving after hearing a word mocking Liu Ji.As a result, she could only sit stiffly on the piano bench, staring at the three figures behind the curtain that she couldn't see clearly, imagining how they would gather together and whisper.

"No, I'm sorry, Tomoko, I just remembered some things from the past." Nana seemed to have returned to her original state, and she answered her companion softly and slightly apologetically.

"It's so scary all of a sudden." Shangzi heaved a sigh of relief, "I thought there was something unpleasant between you and that Yao...that "black hair"."

"No..." Nana's answer sounded a little dazed, "This is the first time I've seen her, the first time I've seen the real her."

Shangzi and Tomoko looked at each other, one blinked suspiciously, and the other shrugged, both of which indicated that no one understood the true meaning hidden in Nana's words.

"Anyway, she and Matsuda-kun are not what you imagined!" Nana forced a smile and said to them.

Xinying tilted her head, she couldn't see the movements of the two, and she wouldn't try to guess what they meant by their body language.And at this moment, Hasegawa, who was standing on the stage to guide the actors, ran towards the backstage in three steps in parallel.

"You guys, have you seen classmate Yao, that friend of Kato's?" She asked directly to the three girls sitting in front of the curtain.

"...Uh, no." The three of them were taken aback for a while, and finally Nana spoke timidly.

"Ah! This is troublesome!" Hasegawa rubbed her hair irritably. When she was irritated, she would involuntarily make this slightly boyish movement, "That guy Zetian... By the way, Ito, I remember that you are also in charge of the sound effects, right? And you two, Kawada and Takahashi, have you completed the task of the props?"

"Yes, I'm sorry... Hasegawa-senpai, I'll go right away." Nana Ito stood up decisively first, "Is there something wrong with Sawada-kun?"

"It's troublesome, he made a mistake when processing the music, so today there is no way for Yao to help us match the background music." Hasegawa patiently explained the cause and effect to Ito Nana.

"I, I understand! Anyway, let me go and find out where classmate Yao is!"

After hearing Hasegawa-senpai explain the situation again, Xinying and Shuli said goodbye and left Shinjuku High School.

Although looking at Shuli who is working hard on the stage is very inspiring, but—Xinying recalled the girl's thoughts she "accidentally" overheard—I always feel that the situation is not good if this continues.Qiren has become so popular now, it seems that it may not be a good thing.

Xinying let out a long sigh.After all, it was a matter between Shuli and Qiren, and she, an outsider, was not qualified to participate too much.I just hope that Qiren can quickly realize the problem between the two of them, and that Shuli can untie her knot as soon as possible.

She walked out of the school slowly, and at this moment the phone's text message sounded.While taking out the mobile phone from her bag, she glanced casually, and met Jianliang's gaze that moved away from the mobile phone screen.

"Ah!" Xinying let out a low cry.She quickened her pace and stepped forward.And Jianliang also smiled and slowly approached her.

"So... a coincidence?" Xinying looked at his attire and asked suspiciously.

"Probably..." Jian Liang gently bent his lips.He lifted the one-shoulder sports backpack on his shoulder, "I just came back from Master Zhao, and I heard Kato-san said that you would come over to help the drama department on Sunday, so I stopped by to have a look," he shook The mobile phone in his hand, "It's really a coincidence."

Xinying noticed that the slightly wet dark blue hair on the top of his head was sticking to his forehead obediently. "Are you still studying with Master Zhao?" It has been about ten years since he first entered Master Zhao's dojo.

"Because practicing martial arts is not something that happens overnight." Jian Liang replied to her with a sentence that Master Zhao often said, "Master Zhao is telling me about you again, and he wants to know when Miss Rosalin will go to his place for tea. "

Xinying laughed lightly.She remembered that Jianliang used such a tone to comfort her when the Emperor Demon attacked.So Xinying deliberately raised the hem of her skirt, imitating the way the aristocrat Shuyuan saluted each other in the movie: "Then I have to ask Mr. Li to help arrange the time."

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Pa——" there was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground behind him.

Xinying subconsciously followed the voice and looked back, seeing a girl with long black hair hurriedly picking up her schoolbag from the ground.She patted the dust off her schoolbag a few times in a daze, her shy and flustered eyes glanced at Xinying who was standing side by side with Jianliang.

"Hello, Ito-san." Standing beside Xinying, Jianliang greeted her with a peaceful smile on his face.

"You, hello, Li Jun." Ito Nana's face became a little pale, she nodded to Jian Liang in a panic, and stammered, "I...I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Said While speaking, she lowered her head deeply, letting her thick bangs cover her eyes.After speaking, without looking at Jianliang, he ran to the other side of the road on his own.

"Oh?" Xinying made a single sound.From the recognizability of the voice and the address Jian Liang used, she could deduce that the girl was "Xiao Nana" from the trio who had just whispered.

"What's wrong?" Judging from Jianliang's appearance, he didn't care about Ito Nana's weird reaction.But after realizing that Xinying's eyes were still following Ito's leaving back, he added, "She was my classmate in junior high school."

"Eh? What kind of person are you?" Xinying retracted her gaze and asked unconsciously.

"Why are you suddenly curious about her?" Jianliang was surprised by her question.

"Well..." Xinying thought about it for a while, and she turned around slowly, "Probably..." Xinying thought about it, but still didn't say the answer.

Probably the sense of crisis that I feel as a woman.

"Well, forget it, let's go home." As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I noticed that my words were somewhat ambiguous.She covered her mouth with her hands, taking advantage of the situation to hide the blush that climbed up her cheeks at some point.

"By the way, this is for you." Jianhao didn't seem to care about her reaction at all. He took out a ticket from his sports backpack and handed it to Xinying, "This is the admission ticket for the Chaoyang Festival. This is the only way to enter and participate in the event.”

Xinying took it with both hands.The style is the same as ordinary admission tickets, but the Chinese characters of "Shinjuku High School Chaoyang Festival" are depicted in the center of the ticket in a special way, and there are also brightly colored pictures: "Thank you." Her face There were still a few blush left, but Xinying was a little glad that she found an excuse for her strangeness again.

"I planned to give it to you. Well, Xiaochun will come together on Saturday, and I will definitely help out with the class's event planning, so I have to trouble you to take care of her." Jian Liang said with a wry smile.

"That's nothing. Besides, Xiaochun is not a child anymore. She doesn't need her brother to be by her side all the time." Before she knew it, even Xiaochun was already at the age of junior high school.

Xinying stared at the admission ticket in her hand, and suddenly thought of a question: "If Jianliang, will there be organized activities in the class?"

"Yes, besides clubs, each class will have organized projects." Jianliang explained.

"So, what kind of activities will Jianliang's class have?" Now that he has mentioned this, Xinying inevitably feels a little curious.

"Is this..." Jian Liang smiled mysteriously, but didn't answer her question right away.
