My second life is a bit strange?

"Let's be classmates again when we're in higher grades, but I want to sit next to A-Feng then."

Eriri looked like she was facing a formidable enemy, fiercely protecting her desk: "Good heavens, you really have been eyeing my seat all along."

"Because it's so tiring to have to turn around every time I want to talk to Ah Feng."

Kaguya packed her things and stood up: "It's about time to go to the student council, everyone."

"It's come to this point already." Chika belatedly started packing her things.

On their way to the student council, the group happened to run into the principal.

"Shirogane, please wait a moment."

The principal called him aside for a chat, while the others hid behind a stone pillar to eavesdrop, but the sound was too soft for them to hear anything.

When he returned, Chika immediately transformed into a sloth and clung to Kaede, asking, "What did you say? What did you say?"

"They asked me about my study intentions, and if I continued to study at Shuchiwon, I could continue to have my tuition waived."

"That's great." Qianhua was a little deflated as she got off him, looking like she had been hit hard. "Afeng is good at studying and has artistic talent, unlike me, who is mediocre at everything. My grades are average, and I'm not even one of the best pianists."

"Your mediocre grades are entirely your own fault!" Kaguya retorted, even though she was the one who was always ambivalent about her studies.

Qianhua's body trembled violently, as if she had been pierced by a thousand arrows.

Eriri quickly comforted her, "Actually, you're also very good at the piano. No one your age can compare to you, except for A-Feng, who isn't normal."

"Hehe, is he really that amazing?"

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Junior High School Ends...

Let's part ways here.

The exam day arrived as scheduled. Everyone's exam venues were quite far apart, except for Qianhua, who was assigned to the same venue as him.

"Hehe, it's so lucky to be in the same exam room as Afeng. Maybe I can even see the answers." Qianhua started thinking crookedly again.

"Cheating, eh?" Feng tapped her head irritably, trying to bring her back to her senses.

The entrance exam wasn't as difficult as she had imagined. Qianhua did very well this time, exceeding her usual performance. She patted her chest proudly and said, "I'm sure I'll get good results this time."

"Would you like to compare answers with me?"

"I'm not listening! I'm not listening! Don't come any closer!"

Qianhua looked at Afeng, who was grinning mischievously, with a look of horror. If she made a lot of mistakes, she would lose confidence in the next few exams.

"That's..." Feng was planning to go to the student council to eat lunch and rest for a while when he saw a familiar figure as he passed by the faculty office.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was talking to a short-haired, intellectual woman dressed in a business-like manner, while a young girl who looked somewhat similar to her stood next to her.

She was equally beautiful, standing there demurely without saying a word. She wore a uniform from another school, clean and tidy, with a pair of light gray stockings that accentuated her straight thighs, creating an absolute territory between them and her skirt.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her back, swaying gently. She had an irresistibly cute face, long, slender limbs, a perfectly proportioned waist, flawless skin, bright eyes, and... well...

A chest as flat as the Amazon plain.

The girl's face was expressionless, but you could tell she was unhappy.

The two people who were chatting noticed Shirogane Kaede and Fujiwara Chika outside. The woman in the suit looked like she suddenly realized something and pointed at him, saying something.

"Xiao Feng, come in for a moment." Hiratsuka Shizuka beckoned to him.

Feng gave Chika an apologetic look, pushed open the door and went inside. Just as the door was about to close, Chika quietly propped it open with her hand, leaving a crack, and secretly listened to the conversation inside.

“The Baiyin family’s son has grown so big. I used to hold you in my arms when you were a baby, just a tiny little thing.”

Feng fell silent. He was already five years old when he was adopted. This woman must have mistaken him for someone else.

Seeing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka quickly interrupted, "Yono, you've mistaken him for someone else. He's not Miyuki, he's the second son, Kofune."

"The second son?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka introduced Kaede, "This is also your mother's friend, from the past. This is her younger sister, Yukino Yukinoshita."

"Hello." Feng extended his hand and shook it politely before withdrawing it.

"What you said before was too much." Yang Nai said with a fake smile, "My Yukino is here to take the exam. I hope you can take good care of her in the new school year."

"Sister, please stop doing things that bother me." Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was cold as she sized up the boy who had suddenly appeared.

"I have an exam this afternoon, right? Let's go home first. Your friend is waiting for you, isn't she?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka gave him a chance to leave, and when Kaede opened the door, she saw Chika whistling in the corner, her panic betraying her.

His lips were pursed high, and apart from drooling, he made absolutely no sound.

"Let's go." Feng patted her on the head and walked ahead with a smile.

Chika rubbed her head and quickly followed, saying, "You'll get beaten stupid."

"If that's true, I'll take responsibility."

"Idiot! How could Ah Feng say such embarrassing things?"

Days always slip through our fingers like fine sand, quietly passing by unnoticed. The sorrows and griefs of the past are gently washed away by the flowing years, while the joys and smiles remain fresh and new in the depths of our memories.

Before everyone could even catch their breath, the three years of junior high school were over.

Everyone took graduation photos under the cherry blossom trees next to the teaching building. Some chose to stay on campus, while others chose to leave.

The homeroom teacher was still holding that worn-out thermos, looking kindly at the group of adorable children. Teaching always made him furious, but he was also a little reluctant to part with them.

The setting sun blended everyone's shadows together.

I just stood in the sunset for a little too long, how did that mean I graduated?

After her initial joy, Chika was left with only disappointment: "I wonder if we'll all be able to share a classroom again in the future."

Kaguya wasn't worried at all; she figured she could just tell the school about it.

The days of being in the student council have come to an end.

The gold chain on Feng's chest was gone, and the heavy burden on his shoulders was returned. He felt a rare sense of relief: "The story of the 65th Student Council has come to an end."

It's truly heartbreaking; closing my eyes feels like reliving yesterday.

"What are everyone's plans for summer vacation?" Eriri asked, holding her drawing board and her backpack stuffed with sketches.

Chika pulled a notebook out of her pocket, which was filled with her holiday plans. The most anticipated thing was going on a trip with her family.

"Ta-da~ This is my plan."

"Where's A-Feng?"

"Go home and rest for a few days, play some games with Ishigami, and then we'll make plans for the rest of the time with my sister later."

Kaguya pulled Kaede aside and whispered something to her. They agreed that she would find an excuse to stay at Kaede's house in a week. Of course, it wasn't the Shinomiya family's house, but the house they had bought together in the city.

This is also a secret between them.

On the way home, Eriri could smell a delicious aroma from afar, which made her hungry. The freshly fried hamburger steak smelled so good.

"Want to eat?"

Seeing how much she wanted it, Feng asked.

Eriri hesitated. Both of them were holding the drawings in their arms. Would it be troublesome to queue up again? They would also have to free their hands while eating.

"Eat if you want. Let's put our food on the stools over there, sit down and eat, and then go back when we're done."

They started queuing up, and luckily, they managed to buy the last two.

One bite and your mouth is filled with juicy meat. The outer skin is crispy, while the meat filling inside is still piping hot. You keep panting and adjusting the position of your tongue.

"It really is delicious."

"Yes, I've been eating it for years, and the taste hasn't changed at all."

Eriri's beautiful eyes narrowed into crescent moons as she sat on the stool, swinging her legs.

"I just don't know if you'll be able to eat dinner when you get back."

"Ah~ I'll think about that after we finish eating."

"That's right."

They finished the rest of the meal in a few bites, clapped their hands, packed up their things, and continued on their way.

Eriri looked up at Kaede's profile and asked, "Has Kaede grown taller again?"

"It seems like my old clothes don't fit anymore."

"I also want to grow taller."

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Xiao Gui: Deeply Shocked

When Feng returned home, he saw his younger sister leaning against the wall, waiting for him.

"Xiaogui."

Upon hearing her brother's voice, Xiao Gui immediately raised her head and then snuggled into Feng's arms, almost causing Feng to hurt herself.

"Why aren't you going in? What are you doing standing outside?"

"I didn't bring my keys, and no one is home."

"Brother Yuxing hasn't come back yet." Feng took out his keys and was about to open the door when he saw the hair clip inserted in the keyhole.

After Xiao Gui explained, she finally understood that Xiao Gui had been waiting anxiously at the door for a long time and wanted to imitate what she saw on TV by using a hairpin to unlock the door.

But to my surprise, the door wouldn't open, and the hair clip couldn't be pulled out.

He tried it, but the hairpin completely blocked the hole, so he had to call a locksmith.

The repairman was very efficient; he solved the problem in no time and even opened the door for me.

"Is my brother on vacation?"

Xiao Gui offered to massage his arm because she had done something wrong.

"Yeah, I'm resting these few days and won't be going out, so I can keep you company." Feng knew that Xiao Gui wanted him to keep her company.

"Great!"
