The pleasant sound still echoed in the air.
But what is the lark this time?
Su Qing said.
It must be the lark that looks like it's daytime.
Rather than a true daytime scene, it resembles a lark.
"Well...please guide me."
"It is I, please...give me your guidance~"
……
P.S.: Please forgive me.
Also, I've finished writing the daily routines, now I need to get back to the main story.
Chapter 202 So that's how it is (1)
After entering the school building together with Mahiru, the two went to their respective classrooms.
At this moment, Su Qing was sitting in her seat doing nothing.
To be precise, he was recalling the glance Mahiru gave him when she walked into her classroom not long ago.
Su Qing could clearly see the loneliness on the other person's cute little face.
However, perhaps not wanting Su Qing to worry, that expression only flashed by.
However, upon seeing Mahiru in that state, Su Qing's body involuntarily turned back. Then, seeing Mahiru's bewildered expression, he patted her head.
The force was very light, and the duration was very short.
Even so, Mahiru could still clearly feel the concern from Su Qing.
Don't look so lonely, I'm here.
Through Su Qing's eyes, Mahiru could tell with absolute certainty that this was exactly what the other person wanted to express.
"I'm here" is not a perfunctory response made subconsciously because Mahiru is seen as a nuisance.
"Be lonely where I can't see you," that's how most people express their boredom.
For Su Qing, however, it was a way to convey a sense of reassurance to Mahiru by saying, "I'm here, so please don't feel lonely."
[It feels like... there are more and more of these kinds of agreements, whether it's a contract with Mahiru or something similar.]
At that time, very few students came to the classroom, and he and Mahiru were among the first to arrive.
Su Qing sighed softly in her seat for no apparent reason.
When people interact, they inevitably develop certain connections, and when these connections deepen to a certain extent, they can be called "bonds".
People like Hayama and Haruno, who have a wide circle of friends, naturally form many bonds.
People like Su Qing and Hachiman, who make few friends, naturally have fewer bonds to form.
However, although there are many of the former, they often only stay at the most superficial level.
Although the latter is rare, it is enough to make others flock to it.
[Would you like to live a little easier?]
For the first time, Su Qing seriously considered the dean's final instructions to him.
Does it mean giving up the search for the real thing?
Or is it that you're determined not to care even if you can't find it?
Speaking of which... what should he do with the rest of his days after finding the so-called "genuine object"?
To repay the dean?
But the dean was already dead.
Even if a special relationship is formed again, it is merely a matter of supporting each other through a certain period of time.
Loneliness? Solitude?
The genetic information etched into the species' DNA was as if it had been peeled off from Su Qing.
Therefore, he couldn't understand Mahiru's lonely expression just now.
Therefore, Su Qing believed that he did not need such support or constraints.
Every person we meet in life is like a raindrop falling on a window.
Some raindrops are small and slide down slowly.
Some raindrops are large and slide down quickly.
but.
Ultimately, everyone has to leave eventually.
After we leave, a constant stream of new rain will pour into our world.
Whether you like it or not, whether you accept the rain that has passed or not.
As always, God acted arbitrarily, disregarding all consequences.
It won't even give you a moment to catch your breath.
Therefore, we can only keep walking and walking.
There was no way to hold on, no time to turn back, and no time for grief.
But Su Qing is not like that.
He was too clear-headed.
So much so that he wouldn't try to keep her, wouldn't reminisce, and certainly wouldn't cry.
He would just stand there quietly, letting everything happen as it would.
Therefore, he was conscious.
The regrets that cannot be retained, the pain and sorrow that cannot be cherished, are precisely what the heart possesses.
Therefore, Su Qing lacks an existence called "heart".
Therefore, this clarity becomes a form of foolishness.
And this stupidity is where his true twisted nature lies.
……
"Xiao Qing, ya hi~"
As soon as Yui entered, she noticed Su Qing, who was already sitting in his seat, and greeted him happily.
"You're here so early today?" Su Qing asked casually.
Yui arrived unexpectedly early today; she usually arrives much later.
"Yeah! I got up a little early and did some things."
Yui put her schoolbag down, adjusted her chair to face Su Qing, and then made a "you should ask me what I did" expression.
"I thought your mother woke you up, since you usually arrive so late," Su Qing said nonchalantly, resting her chin on her hand.
"I...I set an alarm, okay?" Yui said indignantly, "Besides, there's nothing to do here so early..."
After saying that, Yui changed her tone and became somewhat hesitant:
"If, and I mean if, someone makes a promise to go to school with me, I'll definitely come very early!"
“That’s not the case,” Su Qing denied. “People always seek out companions who are similar to themselves.”
"What do you mean?" Yui actually understood, but her habit of asking over the years still made her ask anyway.
“Even if someone makes a promise with you to go to school, that person will definitely love to sleep in just as much as you do,” Su Qing stated bluntly.
"I... I didn't sleep in."
Yui blushed, not only because she was angry at what Su Qing said, but also because it was true.
Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.
Su Qing simply smiled faintly at Yui's sophistry.
"No, really! I just woke up a little late." Yui tried to struggle a bit more.
Su Qing responded with a faint smile.
"Okay, I admit I usually sleep in, but I can also get up very early, okay!" Yui made a last-ditch effort.
Su Qing was moved at this moment.
Su Qing smiled faintly three times.
"Ugh, you idiot Qing!" Yui realized that Su Qing didn't believe her, and she said in a distressed tone, "I swear, I'll get up early and arrive early starting tomorrow!"
"You don't need to push yourself so hard," Su Qing kindly advised.
But such advice is like adding fuel to the fire for someone who is already emotionally charged.
"And it has to continue until graduation... Well, let's talk about it after the end of sophomore year!" Yui continued to add buffs to her vow, but she didn't seem very confident that she could stick to it until graduation.
However, Su Qing found such a promise more reliable.
At the very least, this proves that Yui has planned things out carefully and seriously.
"That's really remarkable."
When one hand got a little tired, Su Qing simply switched to the other hand.
"So I can also make plans to go to school with people who arrive at school very early."
Yui suddenly stuck her head out and stared at Su Qing with ill intent.
"Hmm...then what?"
"Then I want to ask Xiaoqing if she wants to go to school with me every morning!" Yui excitedly gave her final conclusion.
"No." Su Qing's refusal was like a bucket of cold water poured over Yui's head, causing Yui's originally cute face to immediately fall.
"You're not coming to my house. We just agreed beforehand to meet at a certain intersection. If you don't see me, you can leave early, so you won't be late for school. And I'll definitely be there five minutes early, no! Ten minutes early!"
Yui felt obligated to express herself more clearly.
It's not to increase the probability of Xiaoqing agreeing!
"Hmm...I see." Su Qing pretended to ponder.
"Yes, yes." Yui nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then waited for Su Qing's answer with expectant eyes.
"Still no good," Su Qing said with a smile.
Now that's settled, Yui's anxiety has finally subsided.
Once you're dead, you'll no longer be hanging in suspense.
……
Chapter 203 So that's how it is (2)
"Well, alright then." Yui didn't want to put Su Qing in a difficult position, and besides, this was originally just her request.
"I've already made plans to go to school with other people, so I can't make decisions on my own."
Su Qing expressed his regret, saying that if Yui had spoken up earlier, he would have naturally agreed given their relationship.
But now that there's the added element of daylight, it's naturally not acceptable.
"Huh? Other people?" Yui thought she had misheard.
"Ah."
"Is it...is it Hikigaya-kun?" Yui asked nervously for some reason.
"No. I don't even know where he lives." Su Qing shook her head and said, "It's Shiina Mahiru. I think I mentioned we're neighbors, right?"
"It seems...something did happen." Yui's voice lowered. "And...there seem to be rumors that you two are dating?"
After saying that, Yui waved her hand hastily and explained:
