My second life is a bit strange?

Where else could Fujiwara Chika run to?

……

Fujiwara Chika sat on the steps, secretly wiping away her tears. Her cheerful personality did not mean she could tolerate others' ridicule.

"Why am I crying? Everyone is still waiting for me." Chika tried to comfort herself and calm down, but tears just kept flowing out from between her fingers, as if they were worthless.

"Found you." Feng, panting heavily, leaned against the railing, his face flushed and his forehead and neck covered in sweat. He had searched most of the school before finally finding her.

“Ah Feng…”

Seeing the forced smile on Chika's face, he felt a pang of heartache and placed his hand on her head, roughly rubbing her hair until it became a mess.

"Tell me if you have any grievances. Don't hide away from me anymore. Everyone will worry if they can't find you."

Fujiwara Chika stared blankly at Kaede, letting him ruffle her hair, her heartstrings being struck hard: "Hmm, Kaede, do you think I'm a funny girl?"

"Chika is a princess with delicate feelings."

"Really?" Chika's eyes brightened slightly. "Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Not ridiculous."

A smile returned to Qianhua's face, her eyes forming crescent moons as she wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes: "As expected, Afeng is the best."

"Let's go back."

"Mmm." Qianhua took his hand, and her steps became bouncy again.

"Hey... Ah Feng looks so old-fashioned, like an old man."

"How dare you say that?" Feng rubbed Qianhua's head fiercely again.

She didn't resist; she just smiled foolishly and let the other person do whatever they wanted.

The two returned to the auditorium, where laughter filled the air. It turned out that Shiji and Koichi were performing a two-person comedy routine. It was a real shame not to give these two a solo performance.

"Squad leader, the piano is ready. Could you play us a piece?"

The other students joined in the commotion.

Feng thought of a piece of music that would be perfect to play at this moment, so he clapped his hands and said, "Thank you all for your hard work today. Let's take a break and I'll play a piece for you."

"Oh! That's great!"

"Class monitor, wait a moment while I tell the rest of the class."

"You can't eat alone."

Chapter Thirty-Two is unclear!

The sound of heavy footsteps came from outside, and all the students in the class ran over, making quite a commotion.

After everyone found a place to sit, Feng sat on the piano to test the sound.

Many people took out their cameras to capture the scene, and Feng stretched his wrists before beginning his performance.

As the soothing prelude played, the auditorium gradually quieted down.

After seven cycles, the prelude ended. Feng played it slower, less cheerful and more gentle. Everyone just thought it sounded nice, but only Qianhua was truly captivated.

One second his voice was gentle, the next his fingers slammed into the piano, making the sound powerful. Then, when Feng pressed the mute pedal at the right moment, the sound became melodious and varied.

Feng controlled his strength, and the piano music became gentle again, like the afternoon sun shining into the room.

"The squad leader's pedal technique is amazing! He'll be playing for thirty years straight!"

"You started training from the womb, right?"

"I don't know why, but listening to it makes my heart ache. Is this a cheerful or sad piece of music?"

"The scene of petals falling from the sky is just like it's happening right before my eyes..." Fujiwara Chika murmured, looking at Kaede on the stage.

The high notes seemed to strike her heart. She didn't even realize the piano piece had ended, still sitting there blankly, staring at the piano.

clap clap clap!

The applause from her classmates startled her awake. She ran to Feng's side and asked, "What's the name of this piece of music?"

"Dance of Flowers".

Am I the flower in your heart?

"Of course, you all... huh???" Before Feng could finish speaking, he was pulled away by a group of people. The crowd surrounded him, chattering away, and Fujiwara Chika selectively forgot the second half of his sentence.

I am his flower...

The girl's youth had just begun when someone tainted her with pink, occupying the most important place in her heart.

After school, Eriri and Kaede walked towards the back of the school. Because it was in a different location from their home, this was Kaede's first time there.

A somewhat run-down little shop with a rocking horse for 10 yen a ride displayed at the entrance, and many sticker toys that children like next to it.

"A candy shop, huh? It's been so long." Kaede felt a pang of nostalgia. Was it still the same as before?

"Of course, no more than 500 yen per person."

This is a little game between them, where the meaning lies in using limited money to find endless fun, and the snacks they couldn't buy will be magnified infinitely in their hearts.

"anyone there?"

Kaede and Eriri went inside and saw an old lady sitting there, holding a teacup and watching a large-screen TV, looking quite content.

Kaede wanted to see what Eriri had bought, but she blocked him with her body, saying, "Pick your own."

"Ok."

The two of them picked out some items. The shop provided tables and chairs, as well as free tea.

"This is a really nice place."

"Right?" Eriri hummed a song as she spread the snacks she had chosen on the table: cola gummies, marble soda, milk tablets, and a bag of instant noodles.

Feng suddenly felt a bit itchy, so he picked out some squid strips that he could chew for a long time, along with a string of seaweed sheets, three delicious sticks, and a crispy shark.

Feng picked up a piece of dried squid, took out his phone, snapped a picture of the snacks on the table, and forwarded it to Xiao Gui, who replied instantly.

"So much food! Shocking Panda Man.jpg"

"Want some? I'll bring you some."

"No, I don't like coarse snacks. Could you bring me some instant noodles instead?"

"Good~"

Eriri looked at the smile on Kaede's face and said, "Is that Kei?"

"Yeah, she even asked me to bring her a few cups of instant noodles, because there's a show she likes to watch tonight."

While chatting, Eriri suddenly realized that Feng was trying to steal her instant noodles. She quickly slapped his hand away and tore the noodles in half.

He took out half and handed it to Feng: "I can only give you half."

"Crunch crunch, the scallion-flavored instant noodles aren't as good as the seafood ones."

"Then why are you still eating! Spit it out." Eriri glared at him, tied the bag shut with her small hands, and crushed the instant noodles inside through the bag: "Eating like this has soul."

"Really?" Feng laughed when he saw the shark's teeth on the bag as he tore open the Crispy Shark packaging. "Hey, don't your canine teeth look like itss?"

"You! Humph!"

Feng smiled and broke the Crispy Shark in half, handing it over.

"Ah~" Eriri didn't answer, her face turned red and her mouth opened wide.

Maple stuffed the crispy shark into her mouth, and Eriri chewed it with satisfaction.

"Don't you think we look like we're on a date?"

"Pfft! Cough cough cough." Eriri coughed violently, her face turning bright red. She quickly drank a big gulp of tea to calm herself down: "No way."

"What if others misunderstand?"

"I'll explain if there's any misunderstanding!!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than two people walked in.

"Kimura, Takao, what a coincidence, you're here to buy sweets too?"

"Class monitor..." Kimura saw Eriri sitting opposite Kaede, and his eyes, which had been squinting, opened instantly, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

Takao pushed up his glasses, pretending not to see anything, and silently ate his favorite snacks. Kimura hurriedly followed, forgetting what he wanted to eat, and grabbed some random snacks.

No matter how much Feng called out to them, the two of them acted as if they hadn't heard him, silently paid the money and left, even closing the door behind them.

Feng vaguely heard them shout something.

"Nigeguru yo~!"

"Great, they didn't misunderstand us," Feng joked.

Eriri couldn't help but exclaim, "It's clearly a misunderstanding!"

"Then why don't you explain?" Feng suppressed a laugh, his shoulders twitching incessantly.

"The more you explain, the more suspicious it becomes! Okay, just laugh if you want to!" Eriri lay on the table, burying her head in her arms.

Before she could even catch her breath, someone else pushed the door open.

"Excuse me~" The energetic and familiar voice made Eriri jump up immediately.

It was Komizu and Hayasaka, and the atmosphere became awkward. Eriri, who had just cooled down, went back into a state of high fever and was completely dizzy.

[Just as I suspected, these two really are dating.]

[Is this the legendary date? The two of them are at a candy shop after school, whispering sweet nothings~ So sweet!!]

Pink bubbles have started to appear around Xiao Jin.

"Are you two dating?" Hayasaka asked, squinting.

"Pfft, hahaha!" Feng couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing, his body hunched over and his chin pressed against the table, laughing until his stomach hurt.

"Ah Feng!!!" Eriri, her embarrassment at its peak, pounced on Feng, grabbing his neck with both hands and shaking him repeatedly, as if she wanted to strangle him to death.

"I can't breathe! Help!"
