Chapter 41 Snowmelt ①

The author has something to say:

friendly reminder:

This chapter is my childhood friend IF line.

Because 73 did not give detailed instructions in many places, it contains some private settings.After all, it is an IF cable, so there must be OOC!Sorry for any discomfort during viewing.Because of her parents' job transfer, 12-year-old Jasmine also moved to Tokyo from Kanagawa with her parents, along with her elder brother who had just entered high school.

After cleaning up the hygiene at home, Mrs. Gu Gu, who had already prepared the souvenirs, took her daughter to start a good-neighborly and friendly activity.Mrs. Gu Gu originally wanted to ask her son for help, but the son, who was in the rebellious period of youth, refused to go out with his mother to deal with people he didn't know, citing the heavy workload in high school.

"Your brother is really..." Mrs. Gu Gu complained again and again.

In fact, Jasmine is also not very happy to participate in this kind of activities that are destined to be embarrassing and laughing, but if she and her brother refuse, the mother does not know how long she will talk about them.For the sake of the whole family's ears, she decided to sacrifice her entertainment time and accompany her mother to support the facade.

The new home is similar to the Kanagawa side, and it is also a single-family building.The surname of the new neighbor who lives in the west is very rare, but the pronunciation is the same as my family's surname, which is really destined.

When Mrs. Gu Gu knocked on the door of the west neighbor, Jasmine did not expect that a very young-looking mixed-race lady came to answer the door.The beauty of her features makes one overlook her relatively darker complexion.

After reporting their names, the mixed-race beauty warmly invited their mother and daughter into their home.

"My husband is usually very busy at work, and he basically doesn't see anyone, even on weekends. I have a son who is about the same age as your daughter. I went to play with friends today, and I don't know when I will be back."

Mrs. Jiang Gu put away the presents, and while making tea, she explained why she was the only one left at home.

Maybe it's because of the same pronunciation of the surnames on both sides, or the two people's personalities are really very speculative. In short, Mrs. Furuya and Mrs. Jianggu quickly chatted together.

The two Mrs Furuya had a good chat, and Tuliu Jasmine sat beside her mother boredly, trying to maintain a decent smile, counting her fingers from one to ten, and then counting from ten to one.

"Oh, because of job transfer, my child's father and I are currently in Dongda..."

"Hey, my incompetent son has no expertise, only studies are barely worth mentioning..."

"No, no, you are too modest, I think your son must be better than my son who is not well-known..."

The two mothers boasted to each other calmly, and by the way, quietly leaked some of their own information to show off to each other.This kind of showing off is not malicious, it's just a human being who can't help but want to show his good side quickly.

Jasmine was also not used to adults bragging and showing off to each other, so she could only sit beside her mother and continue counting her fingers boringly.

When she had counted for an unknown number of times, a greeting of "I'm back" interrupted the eager communication between the two wives.With the sound of the living room door being opened, the clear boy's voice sounded again: "Eh? Is there a guest?"

"Ah, Ling, welcome home." Mrs. Jiang Gu stood up to welcome her son who had just entered the house.

Jasmine and Mrs. Gu Gu also stood up and looked back at the same time.

It takes a few seconds to fall in love at first sight, and Jasmine doesn't know.She only knew that she probably fell in love at first sight with the neighbor's Mr. Jiang Gu.

Although she had already guessed that Mrs. Jiang Gu's son should be a handsome young man, and had made full mental preparations, when she saw Jiang Gu Ling, Jasmine still couldn't control her blushing and heartbeat.At this moment, she felt at a loss for words, as if even the bright sunshine outside the house was not as dazzling as Jiang Guling's smile.

But in the second of falling in love at first sight, Jasmine also clearly realized that she must not show such unnecessary emotions.

Because after seeing the people in the living room, the boy who is said to be named "Jiang Gu Ling" smiled slightly, showing a distressed expression similar to "It's really troublesome again".

——Can you just treat them like ordinary neighbors?

Jasmine also thought to herself somewhat disappointed.

On the other side, Jiang Gu Ling, who sneaked a few glances at Jasmine while his mother was giving an introduction, scratched the wind-blown hair on the back of his head irritably, not knowing how to deal with such a thing.

——What a cute girl.

At one point, he even regretted that he went to Jing to play games this afternoon.

So why don't you squat at home obediently and prepare your homework well?In this way, when the new neighbor comes to visit, I can get to know her for the first time, instead of standing at the door stupidly and being introduced by my mother, my mind is blank, and I can’t even find a suitable topic. Can be perfunctory with "ah", "oh" and "um".

The word "frustration" came to Jasmine's and Jiang Gu Ling's minds at the same time.

A few days had passed since their unsatisfying first meeting, and school had started.

Mrs. Jiang Gu told her son to take good care of the new neighbors in the new school early in the morning, because the neighbors' family had just moved to Tokyo and they were not used to many places.Especially the youngest daughter of their family has just entered junior high school. She is beautiful and quiet. She seems to be easily followed by idiots with malicious intentions. It will be bad if she meets bad guys.

Jiang Gu was very annoyed: "Doesn't she have an older brother?" How can I be used?

Mrs. Jiang Gu looked at her son interestingly, and kept probing when he was about to explode: "Mr. Zhenyi is already a high school student, so it's impossible to have time to escort my sister every day, right? If it's zero, I'll be with Jasmine anyway." It’s a school, isn’t it good to go to and from school together?”

"... Tsk, I see."

Then Mrs. Jiang Gu got such an answer.

***

"Huh? So someone has finally moved in to the house next to Zero's house?"

New semester, new class, new classmates, the only thing that is not very new is probably the young boy who grew up together.

Furutani Rei picked up the food in the bento and stuffed it into his mouth in a not-so-good mood.

On the first day of school, he failed to complete the task of escorting the girl next door to school, because Jasmine's elder brother took her away early on the grounds that she was "bringing her younger sister to familiarize herself with the school route".When Jiang Gu Ling, who was standing at the door of his house and had finally finished his psychological construction, awkwardly went to knock on the door next door, he had no choice but to miss it.

——What, isn’t it just enough to have a brother?

Fugu Ling continued to gulp down his lunch angrily.

And Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had lunch with him on the rooftop, cast a strange glance, and asked again: "Zero? It seems that you are not in a good mood!"

"No, yes." Jiang Gu Ling was very sure.

"Well, if you say no, then there will be." Zhu Fu Jingguang changed the subject, "Is the new neighbor easy to get along with?"

Jiang Guling "hangchihangchi" continued to stuff his food, not really wanting to answer this question.

Seeing this, Zhu Fu Jingguang wisely stopped asking questions and ate in silence.

As a result, he didn't mention it, Jiang Gu Ling himself felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help the urge to say: "My surname is Gu Gu! There are two children in the family, the eldest son is in high school, and the younger daughter is like us—well, she is also here That's the school."

The family Zhu Fu Jingguang lived in was across the street from Jiang Gu's house, and was not within Mrs. Gu Gu's good-neighborliness, so he didn't know the details.However, the surname "Furuya" has been mentioned many times by other male students today: "There is a girl named Moliya Furuya in class A who seems to come from Kanagawa...?"

Jiang Guling made a "cut" sound: "You have become famous just after entering the new school!" I don't know why he was upset.

Zhu Fu Jingguang reminded in a tactful tone: "Zero, in fact, you are also famous." From appearance to personality to grades to fighting skills.

Rather, Jiang Gu Ling became famous faster than Gu Gu Moli.He hadn't arrived yet, but his heroic deeds had spread throughout the school; and Jasmine was discovered by a group of boys only after she arrived at school, and she turned out to be a soft girl.It can be predicted that Jasmine will definitely be one of the most competitive contestants in the upcoming school beauty selection.

Zhu Fu Jingguang thought about it for a while: In fact, if you don’t look at it according to gender, your own children should be able to...

stop stop stop!stop!Zhu Fu Jingguang, what are you thinking about?

The junior high school boy who was defeated by the imagination in his mind complained that he couldn't, he covered his eyes for a short time and didn't want to see his friend's indistinguishable baby face.

——Wait, boy, have you forgotten that you also look like this?

Regardless of what Zhu Fu Jingguang was thinking, at least Jiang Gu Ling was thinking about something.

More than a month after entering the school, the preliminary monthly exam was over, and even club activities had started normally for a long time, Jiang Gu Ling still didn’t find a chance to go to and from school with Jasmine. Naturally, Zhu Fu Jingguang should not have known Jasmine Chance.

But things are so coincidental sometimes.

Zhu Fu Jingguang and Jasmine also chose the light music department at the same time, both at the same level and in the same club, plus Zhu Fu Jingguang deliberately approached Jiang Gu Ling as the entry point, and the two quickly became acquainted.

"...Jing, are you going to date that guy?"

During a lunch break one day, Jiang Gu Ling was lying on his back on his back by the fence of the roof with his hands on his pillow, basking in the sun that was not there at all, and asked in a muffled voice while holding back his energy.

Zhu Fu Jingguang laughed and asked, "Why do you think so? Jasmine and I don't have that kind of relationship either!"

"But, you guys—have a good relationship? You're already calling each other by name, and the speed is a bit too fast..."

"Eh——? There's no way, Zero's surname and Jasmine's surname are pronounced the same, and the two "Furuya" can't be confused. Besides, doesn't Zero like Jasmine?" Zhu Fujingguang hit the nail on the head. Gu Ling's sore foot, "As a relative and friend, shouldn't I fulfill the duty of assisting a little bit?"

This time Jiang Gu Ling covered his eyes: "...Obviously?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang suppressed a smile: "Well, it's obvious."

From the first day of school, Zhu Fu Jingguang was keenly aware of Jiang Guling's concern for his new neighbors.He was a little curious, what kind of girl would make Zero have such a hazy feeling?You must know that the woman who could be missed by Zero last time was the "Dr. Miyano Elena".The two of them have known each other for several years, and this is the first time that Zero has paid so much attention to a certain opposite sex of the same age.

"However, love at first sight or something, it's really a bit..." Zhu Fu Jingguang deliberately said half and half, and then waved his hands under Jiang Guling's angry stare, as a gesture of surrender, "Okay, okay, let me just say it ——Zero is too bad! It’s just love at first sight, but you haven’t been alone with him yet?”

Because Fuguni Ling chose the tennis club, Jasmine had already packed up her things and left at the end of each day's club work.She couldn't have a good reason to stay and wait for Jiang Gu Ling like Zhu Fu Jingguang did, not to mention she didn't seem to have any such intentions.So for more than a month, Jasmine either went home with a girl in the same class who dropped by, or was picked up by her brother Gu Gu Shinichi who left school early.Zhu Fu Jingguang tried to hint her a few times, and wanted to ask her to leave school together after Jiang Guling finished training, but Jasmine also politely refused.

Zhu Fu Jingguang touched his chin: That's strange, aren't they neighbors?It stands to reason that you shouldn't refuse to go home together!

—Could it be that Zero is hated?

Zhu Fu Jingguang was immediately taken aback by his guess.On second thought, it's very possible.After all, the results of the just-concluded monthly exam have already been released, and Gu Gu Moli only ranked second in the whole year behind Jiang Gu Zero with a slight gap of less than five points.

For girls who value their studies and performance rankings, this may be a major blow?

But Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't dare to say it clearly, for fear of hurting the fragile (?) heart of Xiao Shuan.

"I don't want to do this either." Jiang Gu Ling sighed, "I just can't find a chance. Her brother..." What a trouble!

Originally, the person living opposite the window sill in his room was Jasmine, but within a few days, the person reviewing homework at the table by the opposite window became Furuya Shinichi.I also know that it must be the ghost of the Gu Gu family. Which high school boy would be happy to live in a room with pink walls? !

Damn it, the big brother who is strictly guarded against is the most annoying!

Jiang Gu Ling hummed.
