True Central High School - Aiyu Xingchen

Kisuke also heard the second half of the story for the first time.Unexpectedly, the person who made Pingzi out of the accident was a girl.That is, "Mako, you're in love with that girl, aren't you?"

"Hmm... It's strange. I fell in love with a girl I've never seen before. I don't even know who she is. I even remember her voice vaguely. Knowing why I saw a girl, I fell in love with her." It’s my first love. Didn’t you guys ask me this question jokingly in high school? At that time, I really didn’t know how to answer to make you understand, so I simply pretended to be the attitude of playing in the world. Later it turned into a habit... ...really." Hirako laughed at himself. "I thought I was a dedicated person, but I fell in love with another girl..." Thinking of Xiao Ai, he started drinking again.

Kisuke didn't know what to do.Such a conversation also exceeded his imagination.If Pingzi hadn't been drunk now, he probably wouldn't have said what was in his heart.But as a friend, it is also his responsibility to listen to these innermost thoughts.It's just that he couldn't give Hirako an answer.The only thing I can do is to have a few drinks with him.After a while, Pingzi was so drunk that he lay on the table and couldn't drink any more.Kisuke helped him back to the bedroom.

The next day, Hirako woke up with a splitting headache.He hadn't been this drunk since high school.He couldn't remember what happened last night, all he knew was that he went drinking with Kisuke, and he seemed to mutter a lot. "Kisuke, I didn't say anything strange yesterday, did I?"

"Who knows... Haha, don't drink so much if you're worried about saying something strange in the future. It's okay if I'm here, other people won't take care of you so kindly."

"Oh, it's so disgusting, how can I say that I seem to have an affair with you."

"We are good friends, haha~ There is no class in the morning, I will wait for you to go to the library. Get up quickly."

In the past six months, the newly formed four-person group has resumed a three-person group.They only mentioned Xiao Ai occasionally, and it was possible for the two men to deliberately avoid mentioning her, but Xingchen seemed to seldom mention her.Obviously she was the most clingy to Xiao Ai before.

However, half a year passed quickly.In the blink of an eye, they became sophomore seniors.And because of their outstanding performance, the three were appointed as the new heads of their respective associations.Among their classmates, most of them have also become the leaders and backbones of the club.This is also rare in Mao's history. Not only do freshmen become club leaders within a year, but they are all in the same class.

"It's really talented!" At the welcome meeting for the new teachers, Unokana mentioned the club changes for the new year to Ukitake Shishiro and Kyoraku Shusui who stayed at the school to teach. "Yeah, young people who are more talented than us are climbing up, we have to work hard too!"

And at the class celebration organized by Stardust, everyone was pleasantly surprised to see Xiao Ai, whom they hadn't seen for half a year.She is still radiant, the only change is that her favorite long hair before has now become a refined short hair.

"Aichan! Why did you cut your hair?" Luan Ju had just met her.I heard that she just came back from the teaching support place, and before she had time to move her luggage to the dormitory, she was in a hurry to attend the party.Because it is to celebrate everyone's excellent results in their respective clubs, Xiao Ai will come regardless of fatigue.

"Hehe, the conditions at the teaching support side are not very good. The hair is too long to handle and wastes water resources, so I simply shortened it. But I plan to keep it back this semester." She sat between Daisen and Luanju.

"Short hair looks pretty too~ Ai-chan, are you coming back this semester?" Chu Mori asked.

"Well~ I'm going to move to the dormitory tomorrow, and then I'm going to start making up lessons like crazy... I have to make up all the exams I didn't take last year, what a tragedy..."

"It's okay, there are so many geniuses in our class, I'll arrange shifts for them and make up lessons for you! I'll take care of it~" Xingchen vowed.

The atmosphere of the party was very good. Xiao Ai asked a lot about the previous half semester, and also told the story of her teaching support to those who are interested.She also specially went to have a drink with Byakuya, "Master President~ I will be in your charge from now on, please be merciful!" Kuchiki Byakuya coolly nodded and said yes.

Then she ran to Stardust, Kisuke, and Hirako.She didn't tell anyone except Xingchen when she came back this time. She wanted to give them a surprise, but she didn't expect Pingzi to be not happy at all. "It's really capricious. You can leave if you want, and you can go back if you want. I declare in advance that I won't give you extra lessons!" Pingzi's words made Xiaoai not know why.

"Hmph, it's fine if you don't help~ I still have Urahara God! Haha, genius-san, can I ask you?"

"Of course no problem~" Kisuke made an OK gesture.He knew why Pingzi was like this, it must be to deliberately distance himself from Xiao Ai.In order not to embarrass yourself.But in this situation, he couldn't continue to ask Xiao Ai if he was willing to associate with him, so he had been waiting for the right time.

What he didn't know was that his waiting, in Xiao Ai's view, was a tacit consent that the previous confession was just a joke.There was an indescribable contradiction in her heart that gradually swelled, and she expected him to stand up and clarify that her feelings for her were true, and she didn't want him to let down Stardust.But, she also kept silent.

——————————————————————————————————————————

As a result, time passed slowly, and it was time for new year freshmen to apply for clubs.This year it was Tsubaki's turn to organize the submission of applications, Kuchiki Byakuya handed over this task to Xiao Ai, because his vice president Renji was not good at this kind of work.In this way, Ai strengthened Kuchiki Rukia.They walked on the campus together, and Xiao Ai carefully introduced the various clubs of the school to Lucia.

"So you signed up for the Snow Grass Club? Haha, the two of us are really strange. You want to go to the club where my brother is, and I'm in the club where your brother is~" Xiao Ai has now completely let go of her brother's identity. The matter of Ukitake Shishiro was over, so she also hoped that Rukia would not have such a big burden.

"Well, yes." After listening to Xiao Ai telling her about her refusal to enter the Daixuecao Club, Lukia realized that no matter what her brother's personality is, being an existence under them will always have a burden.

"However, I think it's fine as long as I'm in the club I like. Although the Chun club is also very good, I still consider switching to the Snow Grass Club this year. The activities there are what I like~ If it can be successful, We can be in the same club." Xiao Ai still likes to do charity work, so she has no choice but to feel sorry for Bai Zai.Fortunately, I talked to him before, and he said it doesn't matter.

It was almost lunch time, and Xiao Ai asked Rukia if she had any other arrangements, and she could have dinner with her if she wanted.On the way to the cafeteria, Xiao Ai received a call from Xingchen asking where she was.So, she took Rukia and met the three of them together.

"She's Rukia, this year's freshman. We happened to be together, so we brought her here. Rukia, they are Sifengyuan Xingchen, Urahara Kisuke and Heiko Mako." Xiao Ai introduced each other.

"Lukia? Kuchiki Rukia! Byakuya's younger sister?" Xingchen immediately remembered who she was.She and Bai Zai have known each other since childhood, and heard that he has a younger sister, but she has never seen her because she lives abroad.

"Ah, yes, Xingchen-senpai." Rukia didn't expect that someone would know her.She knew that Xiaoai didn't introduce her surname just now, and it was also to take care of her emotions.

"Ha, those are all acquaintances~ We and your brother are classmates. Come together, just tell us about Bai Zai's black history!" A group of people entered the cafeteria.Xiao Ai followed behind, and asked Hirako Mako in a low voice: "How does Xingchen know that Byakuya has a sister named Rukia?"

Pingzi replied indifferently: "I don't know."

Xiao Ai wondered, he has been acting weird to himself recently.Talking to him is also easy to ignore, and she always criticizes what she does.When asked what happened to Xingchen and Kisuke, they also said they didn't know.Xiao Ai guessed that he might have other troubles, so she tried her best to avoid being struck by thunder, as long as she was not alone with him, she would be fine.

Xisuke explained to Xiaoai beside him: "Xingchen and Baizai have known each other since childhood, so it's normal to know about their family."

"Ah!" Xiao Ai realized in her heart that Xisuke also knew everything about Xingchen.The deep feelings accumulated over such a long period of time are incomparable to her.

"Do you have time in the evening, Ai-chan, I don't have class today, can I help you with tutoring?" Kisuke asked during the meal.

"Well, okay, I'm fine. I have to hurry up and take extra lessons, and now I can't keep up with some courses..." Xiao Ai felt a lot of pressure. The courses that were left behind had to be tested together at the end of this year, but the new courses had to be taken again. Some build on previous content.If you can't make good tutoring, it's hard to say this year's grades.Although the classmates try their best to help her, but there are too few times when they can get together in time.

"Then I'm going too~" Xingchen interjected, "It's too heavy for Xizhu to tutor alone, so let me help too!"

"Well, that's great~ I thank the two teachers in advance!" Where there is Kisuke, there is Stardust, and he doesn't mind it at all.On the contrary, Xiao Ai felt that she was a superfluous person.

In the evening, the three of them found an empty study room so that they could talk aloud.From seven o'clock to ten o'clock, Xiao Ai was so sleepy that she couldn't study at all.Just as he was dozing off in a dizzy state, Kisuke tapped his head lightly, "Lazy?"

Unable to hold on anymore, she made an application: "Please, Master Urahara, I can't do it...let me go back...let's continue tomorrow night."

Seeing her appearance, Kisuke couldn't help but agree. "It's not good to stay up late and study. Get up early tomorrow morning. If you don't have class, I'll find you?"

"Ah, it's a pity that there is class...in the afternoon?"

"I can't do it in the afternoon...then it's still night?"

"Okay. I'll make up what I didn't finish today. Thank you very much!" Xiao Ai bowed exaggeratedly to the two of them.

"I see, according to how much you love to sleep, tomorrow's needs to be mended the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow needs to be mended the day after tomorrow~" Stardust joked, "Well, let's stay here every night to form our own A small system is fine~"

"But, always asking you to make up lessons for me, won't it affect you?"

"Don't worry, isn't your time already tight? With you as the priority~ it won't take much of our time. Besides, we both live in the school now, and we wanted to go to self-study together with you." Xingchen was full of confidence.

Xiao Ai's heart is very warm, Xingchen and the others are so kind to her!Sansheng is really lucky to have such a good friend.
