[Net King] Take away my heart

Yagyu and I met in a cram school when we were in the second grade.

Liu Sheng's grades are very good. Although he has never been in the same class as him, his name can be seen on the top ten list of the grade from time to time.

As the school's disciplinary committee members, Yagyu and Sanada are completely different types.Sanada was the type who would yell at anyone who made you want to run away, while Yagyu just kept writing down the names of those who violated the school rules without saying a word.

Yagyu and I and Lianhua were in the same class in the cram school, and we almost always ran into each other on the tram whether we were going to or from school.Because of unfamiliarity, we usually don't say hello, just nod to each other, and don't stand together.

Lianhua has always advocated that people will not offend me and I will not offend others. Although she hates Sanada's top student group, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to provoke us, she will not be particularly repulsive.

Liu Sheng is the kind of person who never provokes others.

Although he is a top student with good grades and a regular member of the tennis club, Yagyu's behavior is very low-key.You hear very little gossip about him, and if there is, it's mostly positive.He is a very gentleman no matter who he is, and he will always lend a helping hand within the right range. Even if it is just a small matter such as helping to move something or passing a handkerchief, people will feel that he is very polite and friendly.

Everyone in Lihai knew that Liu Sheng had a younger sister who was still in elementary school.It seems that because his parents are busy with work and have no time to take care of them, Yagyu is responsible for taking his sister to and from school every day.

Once, I met Yagyu and his sister on the morning tram.Because I didn't sleep well at night, my head was heavy that morning, and finally I couldn't help but sat on the priority seat and started to close my eyes to catch up on sleep.

Just after falling asleep for a while, I realized that there seemed to be someone standing in front of me.When I opened my eyes, Liu Sheng was standing there holding the ring, and beside him was a little girl who had been staring at me.

As soon as she saw that I was awake, the little girl immediately hid behind Liu Sheng, poking her head out timidly.

"Ah... sorry..." I hurriedly picked up my schoolbag and gave up my seat to Yagyu's sister.

"Sorry, thank you."

After thanking me, Yagyu carried his sister to the seat and let her sit there while he continued to stand.I didn't go very far, but stood near the two of them, dazed from time to time, and then consciously or unconsciously listened to the conversation between the two brothers and sisters.

"Brother, are you tired? Can Hui Rina's seat be given to my brother?"

"I'm not tired, Erina just sits."

"Brother, are you hungry?"

"Not hungry."

"But my brother helped Erina braid her hair in the morning, and I haven't had time to eat yet."

"It's okay, bear with it, it will be noon, the school has a canteen... although the bread in the canteen is terrible."

"Na Erina left over the bread from the lunch meal for my brother."

"No need, Erina has to eat well, bread or milk, don't leave anything behind, okay? Otherwise, you won't grow taller."

"Brother, what shall we have for dinner?"

"What would Erina want to eat?"

"Hmm... Mom's hamburger!"

"...Maybe mom doesn't have time to make it, brother, can I cook something else for you? How about tonkatsu?"

"Ok!"

………………

...............

This is a pair of brother and sister who have a very harmonious relationship.

Liu Sheng is a conscientious and good brother, and his younger sister Erina is also very sensible and obedient.

Maybe this is what siblings should really be like—I couldn't help thinking as I watched them from the tram.

Classes in cram schools are scheduled from Monday to Saturday, almost every day.Generally speaking, many people don't want to go to class on Saturday. After a week of hard work, everyone wants to stay at home and sleep late on the rare weekend.

Lianhua and Chi are typical representatives who skip classes every Saturday.

My attendance rate in cram school is [-]%, because every missed class means that my parents' hard-earned money is wasted, so I will never do such a thing as skipping a class.

Like me, there is Yagyu who never skips class on Saturday.

Liu Sheng was very attentive in his lectures, and whenever the teacher asked questions, he was always the first to raise his hand, and he answered correctly every time.I've heard that Yagyu's family is well off, and his future goal seems to be the premier private prestigious school in Tokyo.Although it is not impossible to challenge a higher-level national university with Yagyu's grades, the teachers privately said that because Yagyu was worried about his sister, he wanted to choose a school as close to home as possible, so that he could continue to take care of Erina after going to college. .

The brotherhood between Yagyu and his sister made me feel a little bit envious, because that was something Seiichi and I couldn't do no matter what.

On Saturday afternoon, I went to the cram school as usual, but as soon as I entered the classroom, I found that Yagyu's sister was also there.Liu Sheng actually brought his sister to a cram school?I couldn't help feeling strange that the students around me seemed to be watching them and talking in a low voice.

"Huerina, are you feeling better now? My brother is about to start class. If you stay in the classroom, it will affect other students' class... So Erina go downstairs and wait, okay? I will go to you when my brother finishes class. , and then we go home together."

"okay."

Erina nodded obediently and walked out of the classroom.I noticed that her face was pale, is she sick?When he turned his head to look at Liu Sheng again, he had already returned to his seat and opened his textbook.

During class that day, Liu Sheng obviously raised his hands much less than before.He was a little absent-minded, occasionally looking anxiously out the window.I wondered if there was something outside the window that could distract him from his usual focus, so I looked out too.

Erina was sitting alone on the stairs in front of the school entrance.On her back was a small red schoolbag with a water bottle stuffed into one side of the schoolbag.She first took out the kettle and drank a few sips of water, and then kept holding the bottle in a daze.

Her thin figure gives people a very pitiful feeling.

Yagyu is the kind of person who is very organized. Even after class, he will take his time to tidy up the stationery and schoolbag first, then arrange the desks and chairs, and finally say goodbye to the teacher and leave.But this day he seemed very impatient, and rushed out of the classroom without tidying up his schoolbag, tables and chairs.

When I walked downstairs and was about to leave the school, Yagyu's voice came from behind me.

"Akiyama-san! Sorry...can I ask you to wait a moment?"

I turned around and saw Liu Sheng walking towards me quickly, holding her sister's hand.

"I'm really sorry. I suddenly encountered some urgent matters and had to leave for a while. This is my sister Erina. She is not feeling well today. I was worried so I brought her to school..."

Erina hid behind Yagyu as shyly as before, and Yagyu signaled her to say hello to me, and after a long time she said in a very weak voice: "Hello, sister."

"Hello." I replied.Then I looked at Yagyu, his expression seemed very anxious.

"I know it's strange to ask you all of a sudden, but I really can't find anyone else when it's urgent... Can you please help me take care of Erina for a while? I'll come back to pick her up as soon as I'm done, no matter what How can I ask you, Akiyama-san, it will be fine in just a moment."

Yagyu bowed his head solemnly to me.

"Got it...if only for a while."

Although I don't know what is so urgent, but seeing Yagyu's appearance, I decided to help him.

"Thank you, Akiyama-san! Please Erina, I will come back as soon as possible!"

After speaking, Liu Sheng raised his mobile phone and made a call, then disappeared at the school gate.

What is it that is so serious that he needs to leave his sister and rush over immediately?Feeling suspicious, Erina and I sat down on the steps of the school gate.

Erina is very shy of strangers, so she sat far away from me at first, looking like she didn't want to talk to me at all.I am not good at chatting, especially with children.But it was strange to just sit and not talk, so I thought about it, and took out the snacks Chiya gave me two days ago from my schoolbag.

"Eat biscuits?"

I took out a piece and handed it over.

Erina glanced at the biscuit, then shook her head in disinterest.

Her complexion is really bad, is she sick?Because I was a little concerned, I asked again: "Are you sick? Have a fever or a cold?"

She pursed her lips, then shook her head again.

I don't understand what she means by shaking her head all the time.Maybe she really hates talking to people other than Yagyu, so I stopped talking and put the biscuit in my mouth and started chewing.

After eating two or three cookies, I heard a rumbling sound in my stomach - but it wasn't coming from my stomach, it was coming from Erina's stomach.

Erina shrank back, covering her stomach with some embarrassment.She was still hungry after all.

"Here, eat, I still have a lot."

I passed the biscuit again.This time Erina finally stretched out her hand slowly.

"Thank you."

The moment her little hand caught the biscuit, I suddenly found a shocking scar on her thin wrist.

what is that?I almost blurted it out, but Erina didn't realize it, she just took the biscuit and ate it.

Watching her open the kettle to drink water and carefully eat the biscuits, I fell into thinking alone.There are no words that can accurately describe the feeling I felt when I saw that scar—it was not a scar caused by an ordinary fall or accidental abrasion, it was more like a scar made by some kind of sharp weapon, brutal, cruel, full of pain. Malicious...and never careless.

I can't believe it's a bruise made by the frail little girl in front of me.

Around sunset, Yagyu finally returned to the cram school.The school had already closed, and Erina and I sat on the steps and waited for him for several hours. Yagyu's return was much later than the "soon" he said at first, so when he came back, his face was full of apology.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, it's been a bit tricky, so it took a long time... I kept you waiting, is Erina obedient?"

I looked at Erina, who was still holding the biscuit in her hand, she ran over immediately when she saw her brother coming back, sticking tightly to Yagyu's side.

"She seems to be hungry, so we're eating cookies," I replied.

Yagyu looked at the biscuit crumbs around Erina's mouth, and then at the half-eaten biscuit in her hand, as if he had a sudden reaction.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, how much is it? I'll pay you now..." After speaking, Yagyu began to dig his wallet into his schoolbag.

"No...no need. Just a few biscuits."

If I asked Liu Sheng to collect money just for this little thing, then I would be too stingy, not to mention that I didn't buy it in the first place, it was given by Chi Ye.

"This... I'm really sorry, I asked you for such a sudden thing, and made you wait here for so long... I must need something in return, but I don't have anything at hand right now..." Liu Sheng was very embarrassed Said, "How about this? If Akiyama-san encounters any difficulties in the future, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it."

I didn't think about repayment or anything, so I just nodded at him in a normal way.

"Brother, Erina is hungry, how about going home for dinner?"

Erina on the side took Yagyu's hand and said.As soon as he saw Erina, Yagyu's nervous expression relaxed.

"Okay, I'll go home right away, but before I go home, can I thank my sister first?"

"Thank you sister."

Erina thanked me obediently, but I didn't know what to say.My eyes stayed on her arm all the time. Under the cover of the long sleeves of the clothes, the scar seemed not so easy to be found... So maybe Liu Sheng didn't know about it, should I ask him?

"I really trouble you today, Akiyama, thank you for taking care of Erina."

After thanking me several times, Yagyu took Erina and left.Under his thoughtful courtesy and sincere thanks, I finally failed to ask that question.

I just looked at the little figure of Erina who seemed extremely thin, but seemed relieved and happy because of the presence of her brother, and fell into long-term contemplation.
