stray end

In a trance, Dong Hua seemed to recall bits and pieces of that time.They are still naive, relying on their little enthusiasm to do things they never thought of.

The so-called dream... what is it?She has never known what her dream is, it's just... repeating the monotonous life every day.Watching other people chasing their dreams while they are doing nothing.

She was actually very envious, but she still couldn't take that step.I feel like I can't do anything, so I would rather just do nothing and be content with the status quo.

In the summer of that year, when Donghua received an invitation from a friend, she hesitated and agreed.Although she said on the surface that she would definitely not succeed, Donghua sincerely hoped that she could succeed, perhaps more than other members.

That summer was the most unforgettable summer in their memory.There was sweat, tears, and of course laughter.Although there are not many people supporting it, it is very happy for them.

That is the first ACKS belonging to AKANE, AKATSUKI, CHIKA, KARIN, SARA, SEINA.

The so-called dream is the greatest pursuit in life, even if it was once given up.However, in the end, I still want to continue, even though I know the reality is not that simple.I still want to pursue that little dream deep in my heart.

When I arrived at the convenience store the next day, there were only a few people wandering in front of the shelves.

Fukuda Shinta frowned, staring at the painting in front of him with a distressed expression.

Seeing Futian like this, Donghua suddenly laughed for some reason.

Hearing the laughter, Fukuda raised his head and frowned slightly. "What, it's you, Donghua. Thank you yesterday."

Putting her things away, Donghua shrugged her shoulders, with a calm face, "It's nothing, just passing by."

"...I remember that the apartment you live in is several stations away from me," Fukuda twitched the corner of his mouth, "and you just put it on the ground for me."

"...It's fine if I didn't throw it away for you."

The two stopped talking, Fukuda was still staring at his painting, and Donghua was concentrating on things in the store.After several customers in the shop had left, Donghua turned her head to look at Futian who had been in the same posture since just now.

"Hello, Fukuda."

"what?"

With her chin propped on both hands, Donghua stared blankly at the outside of the shop. "You said before that your dream is to become a cartoonist, right?"

Fukuda replied without raising his head, "It hasn't changed now."

"..." To such an answer, Dong Hua immediately didn't know what to say.After a moment of silence, he continued, "I..."

What she wanted to say just now but lost the motivation to say it the next moment, Donghua looked at Futian's profile with some fascination.The long silver hair was a little messy, and there was a determined gaze under the tightly furrowed eyebrows.

The corner of her mouth suddenly raised a curve, Donghua narrowed her eyes, shook her head slightly, and then continued to flip through the book in front of her.

When he returned to the apartment at night, Kitami was already waiting for Donghua on the Internet.

"Sorry, Kitami-senpai. There was a delay when I came back." Donghua put on her earphones and explained embarrassingly while scratching her face.

Kitami sighed in his ears, "It doesn't matter, today's task is the basic pronunciation. Keep reading the fifty-sound chart, don't want to be lazy~"

"Eh - didn't you take a break, senior?"

"Really? Then three 10 minutes and 8 minutes rest~"

"You will die, senior!"

"As long as the sound is okay~"

"If you're dead, how can you still make a sound!"

"Shut up and hurry up!"

"Hi--"

"あ——い——う——え——お——か——き——く——け——こ—"

I don't know why, it's obviously a very boring task.But Dong Hua didn't feel impatient, nor did she want to back down at all.What gushes out from the bottom of my heart is a sense of satisfaction, a long-lost feeling.

"Okay, that's all for today."

After an unknown amount of time, Kitami's voice sounded.After hearing Kitami's instructions, Donghua stopped practicing.

Wiping the thin sweat from her forehead, Donghua smiled happily. "Well, thank you for today, Kitami-senpai."

Kitami laughed, "Akatsuki-chan is really... Even I have a plan~"

"Of course I know," Dong Hua said puffing up her face, "but I always feel that life is full of meaning now."

"Pfft, so you're still a child, Akatsuki-chan~"

"Eh?"

"It's nothing, go to bed early, good night~"

"Oh, hi, good night~"

Turning off the computer, Donghua tilted her head thinking about the meaning of what Kitami said just now.But in the end, nothing came out.Put your hands on the table and stand up slowly.Putting her loose hair back behind her ears, Dong Hua had a faint smile on her face. "Wash up and go to bed~"

"Kazenonakigoe—"

The familiar ringtone signaled a call from a familiar person, and Donghua couldn't help lowering her head and sighing.

"Hey?"

"Oh, Donghua, haven't you slept yet?" A familiar voice sounded beside her ears.

Dong Hua couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, "Are you AHO Fukuda, will I still talk to you if I'm asleep?"

"You are BAKA!"

"What's the matter, it's so late?"

"Oh, sing me a song, Winter Flower!"

The notebook in her hand fell to the ground, Donghua gritted her teeth, "You really are a Baka Fukuda! Who would call at night and ask someone to sing for you!"

"So what happened when I suddenly thought of it? Hurry up and sing!"

"Why do I do what you say! I refuse!"

"It was possible before, why not now, hurry up, Donghua!"

"before……?"

"Ah, I remember when you were in middle school, didn't you sing it? That kind of weird song."

"..." The hanging right hand clenched into a fist suddenly, Donghua's eyes were full of surprise.Then after a while, he took a long breath, "I see, this is a thank you gift for introducing me to a part-time job."

"Oh, THANK."

"Kazenonakigoe,"

【Hey, Madam, let me sing you a song~】

【Song?Stupid Xiao must sing very hard! 】

[It's too much, it's too much! 】

[Then you can sing. 】

【Listen up~】

"kiminonaku,"

【How about it? 】

[Strange lyrics. 】

【Eh?This is the end? 】

【Oh, right.The singing is really not very good. 】

【...Mata really is AHO! 】

"Watashinonamida,"

[It hurts, it hurts, stop it, idiot Xiao! 】

【Humph!snort!snort! 】

"Subetenakunaru,"

[Sorry, sorry, it's okay. 】

【Humph!snort!snort! 】

【Are you still a primary school student...】

【…】

【It hurts!Stop it, idiot Akatsuki!I'll draw a picture for you! 】

【……painting? 】

"Yume,"

【Zhentai's painting is so ugly...】

[It will get better in the future!I'm going to be a cartoonist! 】

【Eh--】

【What kind of expression do you have! 】

【I'm still a primary school student~】

"sora,"

【Where do you think you are going to get...】
