stray end

"Whoosh-"

After taking a taxi downstairs, I managed to catch up with the time. Supporting the wall, Dong Hua panted heavily.

Because of the strenuous exercise, his heart was beating abnormally fast, and his face was flushed red.

"Are you okay?"

Xinye bent down with a smile, although the words were concerned, but the expression on his face looked like he was watching a play.

Supporting the wall with his right hand, he raised his left hand and waved weakly in the air, "It's okay, just take it easy."

Xinye patted Donghua's shoulder with a light smile, "Didn't you sleep well last night, you came quite early before."

"Well... think about something."

Taking a big gulp of air, he held down the part where his beating heart was with one hand.

Taking deep breaths again and again, the beating speed of the heart gradually slowed down and returned to the normal speed.

Taking a deep breath again, looking serious, he raised his foot to the front of the microphone, and raised his hand to signal, "Sorry, we can start now."

"Then let's begin."

"Hi!"

"here is……?"

There was a lot of doubt in the girl's voice, and the words she spoke were even nasal.

"Amusement park!" The boy's voice was as hearty as the smile on the other party's face.

"what--?"

"Let's go, Morishita-san!"

"and many more!"

The initial surprise and hesitation gradually turned into excitement and excitement halfway through.

From the cold voice at the beginning to a very excited voice, the indifference towards people before was completely gone in the words.

"Amazing!"

Looking at the neat figure of the boy in the game area, he blurted out in a voice of envy.

"Great."

"……Eh?"

"Morishita-san laughed, it's really... that's great."

"Matsuda..."

"Morishita-san who smiles like this is so pretty."

"...Matsuda, let's date."

"...Ehhhh!"

"Can't you?"

"No, it's not..."

The boy touched his head and looked at the faint smile on the lips of the girl who hadn't dissipated. After a short period of silence, he suddenly smiled and spoke softly.

"Well, that sounds pretty good too."

>>>

"Ah, it's finally over—"

After the recording ended, Xinye sat down on the chair with his head tilted back, his black bangs became a little messy.

Sighing silently, Donghua walked over to pick up the things she put nearby, "Senior Xinye..."

"Hey hey~" Letting go of the hand holding the chair, Xinye stood up all of a sudden, stretched himself, and took a few sips of water next to him.

"That's right, Winter Flower."

"What's the matter, senior?"

Dong Hua, who was packing up and getting ready to leave, suddenly stopped in her tracks, blinked her eyes and turned her head to look at the other party.

With one hand on his hip, Xinye took a few steps forward, "I heard that your part-time job has been exposed?"

It's just that the other party already knew what happened yesterday afternoon, which made Donghua feel a little surprised.But then he understood again, pulled the bag strap on his shoulder, and lowered his head.

"Um……"

"It's nothing serious." Xinye smiled and patted Donghua on the shoulder, and walked out of the recording studio together. "It's going to get better!"

"Xinye-kun, Akatsuki?"

"Yo, logs~"

"Senior Log, okay."

As soon as I came out, I ran into Maki Araki who had just finished recording, so I couldn't help saying hello again.

"By the way, let's go have a meal together." After walking a few steps together, Log suddenly said this.

"Okay, but log is your treat."

He probably still remembers how the few people ate him a meal before. Although Xinye readily agreed, he made another request.

Glancing at Xin Ye who was full of smiles, Yuan Mu replied helplessly, "Okay," and then turned to Dong Hua, "Where's Xiao Jiang?"

Although she wanted to go with her, Donghua hesitated when she thought of Zheng who was still staying in her apartment.

Biting his lip, he still denied it.

"Sorry, Senior Log, my brother is still waiting for me at home."

"Ah... what a pity." Yuan Mu suddenly showed a regretful expression, pointing to Xin Ye, "Then the two of us go?"

"I'm fine."

"Let's go then."

"Let's go~"

Seeing the two getting into the car, Dong Hua let out a long sigh.

Shaking his head in a small arc, he walked towards his apartment.

"What's the matter, Mom?"

When she walked to the bottom of the apartment building, she suddenly received a call from her mother. Donghua couldn't help but stop her progress, frowning slightly.

"Eh……?"

"Well... I see, I will have a good talk with him."

"Well, good bye."

Closed the phone, held his forehead, and sighed again, "Really..."

The first thing I did when I opened the door was to look for the location of Donghuazheng, but to my surprise, there was nothing in the room.

"Where did you go, that brat?"

Complaining in a low voice, she sat on the sofa and rubbed her aching head.

The beep sounded for a while before it stopped, and Zheng's energetic voice came from the phone.

"sister!"

"Where did you go?"

Holding the mobile phone in one hand, leaning the elbow of the other hand on the table, rubbing the temples on both sides with fingers, making a soft sound.

"I'm in Brother Futian's studio now, and you should speak louder!"

The veins on her forehead popped up, Dong Hua really wanted to curse back loudly, but the words she said were unusually light, without any momentum at all.

"Come back quickly."

"Hey, okay...then come and pick me up!"

"Don't fool around."

"I can't find my way back~"

"..."

If the boy named Dong Huazheng was in front of Dong Hua now, she thought she would kick him hard to vent her anger.

However, it is a pity that the other party is not in front of her.

Although I really want to call the other party back loudly, to show my aura of being a sister.But the helpless voice was extremely soft, and in the end Donghua could only compromise.

"I see... just stay there honestly."

"learn!"

"Tsk..."

Feeling an inexplicable irritability in her heart, a lot of messy troubles filled her head, Dong Hua stood up and rubbed her temples on both sides again.

Gulu gulu gulped down a big mouthful of water, and only then did I feel a little more comfortable.

"Let's go..."

***

"excuse me."

It was Fukuda's assistant An Gang who came out to open the door, Donghua said blankly and walked straight inside.

In the studio, Fukuda is drawing a picture, while Zheng is sitting on the sidelines watching each other's movements.

"cough."

Because the two obviously didn't notice her, Donghua coughed with her eyes wide open, attracting their attention.

"Yo, winter flower."

"sister--!"

Futian sat in his seat and waved at Donghua, while Zheng rushed forward with a smile.

"gone back."

Grasping Zheng's wrist with her backhand, Donghua whispered.

"Eh, wait..."

After walking one or two steps outside, Donghua suddenly stopped, turned her head and smiled at Futian, "I'm in trouble."

"……Oh……"

"Wait! Sister!"

Futian didn't have any other reactions, but Zheng was very reluctant, and tried his best to break away from Kai Donghua's hand holding his wrist, his eyes widened.

Taking a deep breath, Dong Hua rubbed her wrists, frowned slightly and looked at the other party, "Dong Hua Zheng, do you know what you are doing?"

"I... what's wrong with me?"

"You actually lied to me about summer vacation... You obviously ran out on your own, and you will graduate from high school next year. What the hell are you doing..."

Dong Hua's tone seemed very helpless, she still liked her younger brother Zheng, but he just likes to cause trouble.

From elementary school to now, there are often fights in school, but luckily nothing major happened.

Although I didn't like school very much in the past, I still went to school obediently to study, but now I just ran out.

The school and family didn't know about it at all. If Donghua's mother had called to ask before, she would have never known that the other party had escaped secretly.

"..."

Zheng kept his head down in silence, his hands were hanging down and swinging non-stop.

Stretching out her hand to pat Shangzheng's shoulder, Donghua softened her attitude, "Go back."

"But... I don't want to go to school..."

"If you don't want to go, you can't just escape from the house without saying a word!"

As a result of being too excited, the throat started to hurt, and the coughing sound kept ringing in the room.

"Are you okay?" Futian handed over a glass of water with one hand, and patted Donghua's back with the other.

"Ahem, thank you."

Dong Hua, who finally recovered, stood up straight and looked straight at Zheng, "If you don't want to go to school, go back and discuss it with your parents."

"..."

Because of the other party's silence, the furrows between Donghua's eyebrows deepened, and when she opened her mouth to say something, her head felt a little heavy.

Futian pressed Donghua's head, looked at Zheng and showed a hearty smile, "Go back."

"……I see."
