Zongman: Nagasaki Sushi's adopted brother

Bai Ye was so bored that he played the air keyboard on the desktop.

It wasn't until he reached the table behind him that Goto Ichiri began to introduce them.

.

Um...hi, my name is Goto Ichiri. I know I look a little weird, and I think I'm a little weird myself. I'm so sorry!!! Please don't treat me like a weirdo.

I like guitar...

(High-speed chanting version of the mumbling that no one hears)

I…when I’m alone, I play guitar in front of the mirror and pretend I’m a rock star.

I... I sometimes think, it would be great if I could turn into a hammer snake, so I can hide in a corner and don't have to deal with people.

I... I'm not that great, and I don't play guitar very well.

I... My name is Goto Ichiri, a very introverted girl.

(End of mumbling)

Goto Ichiri: "Anyway, please don't kill me! Please spare my life!!"

Everyone: "Huh?"

Bai Ye: "Wow, so interesting!"

After being looked at with strange eyes by everyone, Goto Ichiri turned into a puddle of mud and stuck to the desk.

Homeroom teacher: "Then please, Goto Ichiri's deskmate, Byakuya-san, please introduce yourself."

Bai Ye slowly stretched out his hand, gently grasped the edge of the keyboard, and slowly stood up.

There was a determination glint in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident and calm smile.

"I'm Toyokawa Shoko... No, sorry, I just said it casually!"

"My name is Bai Ye."

"Don't be fooled by my long hair. I'm actually a boy. As for why I was admitted to Yuqiu, please ask the principal. And tell me the reason, too. I want to know."

"My specialty is keyboards, and I'm the best keyboard player in Japan. You could say I'm number one."

"I like pink hair and interesting things, and playing."

"Also, I like Goto Ichiri from the back table because she's so funny!"

Bai Ye’s last sentence directly ignited the entire Class B.

The only boy in Yuqiu School, who is also a super handsome boy, actually confessed his love to his deskmate in public.

We were all young girls who were not very worldly-wise, so when we encountered this situation, we immediately became excited.

As for the person involved, Goto Ichiri had already been defeated by the enthusiastic gazes of the crowd, turned into dust, and was blown away by the wind.

Xiangzi: That's really crazy, but this way no one will pay attention to me. You're doing me a favor, Bai Ye..

When no one was paying attention, Xiangzi finished introducing himself.

Everyone's focus was on Bai Ye and the table behind Bai Ye.

Class B ended the class in excitement.

Under everyone's curious gaze, Bai Ye walked towards Class A.

Class A was also bustling with activity at this time.

"Have you heard? There's a boy coming to Class B. He's super handsome."

"I know, I know. He even confessed his feelings to the person sitting behind him when he was introducing himself."

"How bold."

"that is!"

"Wow! That boy is here!"

Bai Ye stood at the door of the classroom, holding his lunch box in his hand. He looked around for a while and finally saw Deng.

He walked up quickly, with a relaxed smile on his face, and asked, "Deng, would you like to have lunch together?"

Deng raised his head, and when he saw Bai Ye, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then nodded slightly and responded: "Well... let's go to the Astronomy Department together."

Bai Ye tilted his head curiously and asked, "Astronomy Department? Is that the place dedicated to stargazing?"

Deng nodded, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes: "Well... I want to go."

"Okay, let's go to the Astronomy Department together!"

Under the gaze of everyone in Class A, Bai Ye and Deng left.

"I'm so envious... I also want to be invited by Bai Ye like this."

Everyone looked at the lights and sighed.

.

Department of Astronomy.

Bai Ye looked at the lunch box in Deng's hand, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "Wow, Deng's lunch box is really good, it looks so delicious!"

灯微微一笑，有些不好意思每^日.发！书，群【6`5,0/5^0”2*3>3.8】地说道：“要分你一点吗？”

Bai Ye waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, I won't take advantage of you, I also brought my own food."

Deng felt a little disappointed and muttered softly: "Okay..."

Bai Ye saw that Deng was a little discouraged, so he quickly comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, I will definitely do it next time."

Deng's mood improved a little, and he continued, "By the way, I heard that you confessed your feelings to the person at the back table in public. Is that true?"

Bai Ye scratched his head, a little embarrassed to post a book every day. He smiled and said, "This is just a spur of the moment thing. I said it on impulse at the time, but I really like pink hair."

Deng was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked at Bai Ye seriously: "Do you like me?"

Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly and replied, "I like it, because Xiao Deng, you are also very interesting."

Deng blushed slightly after hearing this, but nodded. Then he remembered something and said, "Well, there's been a rumor in the class..."

"So Xiangzi is a boy?"

"puff!!"

Bai Ye's expression stiffened instantly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he remained silent for a long time...

Chapter 8: Toyokawa Shoko, Your Performance Is Crying

The white night is moist.

When faced with the questions from the soul of the lamp, he hesitated for a moment and then ran out of the astronomy department directly.

"Ugh..."

Bai Ye sighed helplessly, his brow furrowed, his heart filled with irritation. He looked out the window and complained silently in his heart: "What a trouble! When will that cheap sister bring Xiangzi back?"

Every time his sister asked him to replace Xiangzi, he would carefully disguise himself. Although there were flaws everywhere, he managed to hold on for half a month.

"Ugh..."

The melodious sound of the piano flowed slowly like a gurgling stream. The lively notes seemed to break free from the constraints of space, lightly passing through the slightly cool air, and reaching Bai Ye's ears without any hindrance.

Bai Ye's originally chaotic thoughts were instantly sorted out by this beautiful melody. He couldn't help but stop, slightly tilt his ears, and immerse himself in this unexpected heavenly sound, as if the whole world had stopped for the sound of the piano.

The direction of the piano sound is the music classroom.

.

Shoko Toyokawa closed the piano.

Playing the piano in the music classroom is one of the few times she can relax.

Thinking of the small remaining balance and the repayments still owed, she sighed deeply.

"What a wonderful performance, Xiangzi."

"Bai Yejun, why are you here?"

"I came here when I heard the piano. I really like your piano playing."

"Thank you for the compliment. It's almost time, Bai Ye-kun. Lunch break is about to end. Let's go."

Bai Ye's eyes were filled with curiosity: "You can leave, but can you answer a question for me first?"

His voice echoed in the quiet music classroom, sounding particularly clear.

"Toyokawa Shoko, why is your performance crying?"

However, after hearing this, Xiangzi's tone suddenly became extremely cold: "You are really high and mighty, Bai Yejun."

Her voice was not loud, but it was like a basin of cold water poured on Bai Ye's heart, making him stunned for a moment.

"what?"

"Don't worry, I'm already dead as a weakling." Xiangzi glared at Bai Ye coldly.

If her stomach hadn't been growling at this moment, it would have been a perfect response, at least that's what Shoko Toyokawa thought.

"Gurgle." Shoko Toyokawa's stomach growled again.

As if reminding everyone of her hunger, Xiangzi's cheeks flushed slightly and her eyes were a little evasive, trying to hide her embarrassment.

Bai Ye noticed Xiangzi's embarrassment, and a complicated expression appeared on his face. He seemed a little hesitant, but finally said: "Well... I have a bento here, do you want to eat it?"

Bai Ye's voice was very soft, with a hint of tentativeness, as if he was afraid that his proposal would touch Xiangzi's self-esteem.

Xiangzi raised his head, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly covered up by indifference.

She frowned slightly, with a hint of impatience in her tone: "No, I'm on a diet now, so I prepare two meals a day, so I don't need lunch."

Xiangzi's voice was cold, as if she was rejecting an insignificant suggestion, but Bai Ye could hear a slight tremor in her voice.

"Then I'll pour it out. Where should I pour it out?"

Bai Ye's voice sounded a little casual, but his eyes were always fixed on Xiangzi, as if waiting for her reaction.

"Whatever you want, Guian."

After saying that, Xiangzi turned around and left, no longer paying attention to Bai Ye, as if the conversation just now had never happened.

Suddenly, her hand was grabbed by a force. She turned her head in surprise, only to see those bright eyes staring at Xiangzi, and Bai Ye's hand tightly holding Xiangzi's hand.

Bai Ye smiled slightly, his voice soft but with a hint of firmness that could not be refused: "Stay with me for a while, Xiangzi. Just for a while, I have something to tell you."

Xiangzi looked at Bai Ye and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. She did not struggle, but nodded gently and let Bai Ye pull her to the rooftop.

The door to the school rooftop was ajar and was gently pushed open by Bai Ye. A breeze blew over his face, bringing a hint of freedom.

The rooftop is covered with mottled cement tiles, on which traces of time have left deep and shallow marks.

Bai Ye and Xiangzi leaned against the wall on the rooftop.

Bai Ye looked at Xiangzi's hesitation, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold the lunch box, handed it to her, and said in a relaxed tone: "This is for you."

His eyes were sincere and he didn't seem to have many complicated intentions.

Xiangzi was stunned. She looked at the lunch box in Bai Ye's hand, a hint of hesitation and vigilance flashed in her eyes. Her lips moved slightly, but she said nothing.

She lowered her head, as if considering how to respond.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Bai Ye continued, "I forgot that you wanted to lose weight, but it doesn't matter. This is the lunch box my sister prepared for me. It's all vegetarian. Eating it won't put any burden on my weight. Anyway, I don't want to eat it at all!"

Bai Ye had a pitiful expression on his face, and his tone was filled with helplessness: "Please, I really don't want to eat this bento... I just secretly had lunch, and my stomach is already full."

He lowered his head slightly, a pitiful look in his eyes, and continued, "Can you do me a favor? If my sister sees that I haven't finished her lunch box, she will definitely beat me up!"

Xiangzi raised her head, a flash of surprise in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She frowned slightly, as if considering whether Bai Ye's words were credible.

Seeing that she still didn't say anything, Bai Ye took the initiative to open the lunch box, revealing the carefully prepared vegetarian dishes inside. He handed the lunch box to Xiangzi and said in a more sincere tone: "Here you go... Don't worry, I haven't eaten it."

Xiangzi stared at the lunch box, a trace of struggle flashing in his eyes.

Bai Ye seemed to see her concerns and added, "There aren't any weird pink pills in it, so feel free to take it."

He smiled with a hint of teasing in his tone, trying to break down Xiangzi's defenses with humor.

Xiangzi's face flushed slightly, and a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes. She was silent for a while, and finally took the lunch box and said softly, "I'll give you the money later."

Bai Ye smiled and nodded: "Okay."
