You walk over and softly say, "Lamp, let's look at the stars together."

Takamatsu looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his amber eyes, then softly hummed in agreement.

So you sat side by side at the edge of the playground, sharing the tranquility with each other.

You would point to the faintly twinkling stars in the sky and tell stories you'd heard; she would listen quietly, occasionally responding softly, her eyes shining with a sense of being understood.

Gradually, the jealous girls in the class also noticed your unspoken understanding.

They still don't understand why you keep going to Gao Songdeng; their jealousy only makes them more cautious and afraid to get close to you.

[But you and Gao Songdeng, in these small moments alone, continue to deepen the bond between childhood sweethearts.]

After school, as you walk home together, your fingers occasionally brush against each other, like a silent promise.

What may seem like just a child's habit to others is, to you, a promise etched in your hearts.

After all, you two promised to be together for life.

Finally, I'm writing about Takamatsu Akari. The inspiration came from reading a doujinshi by Yiling VII Shrimp 4 Private Collection Lu Chuangguo. It's about childhood sweethearts who, as they grew up, had a deteriorating relationship, and the male and female protagonists only saw each other as "Starry Sky Processors."

The Mother Hen card is here! Looking forward to drawing it in September!!!

Chapter 347 One Twisted Fate After Another

At 7 years old, you are still inseparable, but compared to first grade, you spend less time with Gao Songdeng.

Your teachers have noticed your potential.

One PE teacher thinks you have great potential in soccer; another PE teacher thinks you're better suited for running.

The music teacher said you're a musical prodigy and wants you to learn piano.

You were very interested in all of these, so after discussing it with your parents, you embarked on a journey simultaneously towards both football and piano.

[That's why the time you spend with Gao Songdeng is being fragmented more and more.]

But you'll still make time for her: go to the river to find stones, lie in the grass counting insects, or look up at the stars at night.

However, compared to when you were seven years old, you have obviously spent much less time together.

Takamatsu Akari noticed, but said nothing.

She was never the type to throw a tantrum because of loneliness; she simply silently suppressed her disappointment and swallowed it all down alone.

At age 8, you devoted more of your time to soccer training and piano practice.

[You spend your free time either running on the sports field or lingering on the piano keys; sweat and melody fill your world.]

[Gao Songdeng still occasionally takes you to see insects and turn over stones, but these times have become very rare.]

She's still by your side, but more like a quiet shadow, silently watching over you from where you can't see her.

At nine years old, you finally began to show your talent in soccer and piano.

[With the music teacher's arrangement, you participated in the children's piano competition and won first place.]

The second place winner was a blue-haired little girl your age; her piano playing was clear, with a touch of coolness.

After the game, she seemed to want to talk to you, but you had already promised to go out with Gao Songdeng, so you turned around and ran away.

[Little Lamp, how was that? Aren't I awesome?~]

The blue-haired girl stood still, her eyes filled with complex emotions, while Takamatsu simply tightened her grip on your outstretched hand, asking no further questions.

At 10 years old, your time was completely filled.

Just like last year, you won first place in the piano competition. This time, you noticed not only the blue-haired girl but also a little girl with black hair, who was two years older than you.

Her gaze was very serious, as if she were scrutinizing your back.

But you didn't have time to think about it further, because training for the football match was far more urgent.

[Because of training, you hardly ever played with Takamatsu anymore. The stones and insects you used to play with were forgotten in a corner, and even the stars in the night sky seemed unfamiliar.]

She didn't complain, she just became even more silent.

[At 12 years old, your fame is growing.]

Your name and photo are now frequently seen on television and in magazines.

At school, you became an even more dazzling presence.

Sixth-grade girls are gradually learning what liking someone means, and as the "campus prince," you naturally become the center of their hearts.

[Thus, you are surrounded by laughter, screams, and jealousy, with undercurrents of petty squabbles that seem like a bloodbath.]

As for Takamatsu lamp?

It seems you've already forgotten about her.

[You're so busy with football, piano, TV interviews, and all those girls around you that you have no free time.]

[Takasatsu Tamaru is still by your side, only her figure grows ever quieter.]

If you don't play with her, she'll go find stones by herself, lie in the grass watching insects, and look up at the stars at night.

[But compared to the past, she has developed a new habit—writing things down in her notebook.]

The reason is the gift you gave her last year: a notebook with a rhinoceros beetle printed on the cover.

"Lamp, I'm sorry I can't play with you as often anymore. This is for you. If there's anything you want to say, you can write it down and give it to me, and I'll try my best to respond."

However, it seems you've long forgotten this promise.

At 13, you entered junior high school.

Gao Songdeng still went to the same school as you, since you lived very close by.

Your life is just busier now than when you were twelve.

Piano training, competition schedules, and media coverage left you with almost no free time.

That same year, you made a decision that shocked everyone.

You skipped the junior piano competition and went straight to an international piano competition, skipping a grade level.

Through diligent effort, you have successfully acquired powerful skills.

As you predicted, you won the championship.

The world will remember your name forever at this moment.

But you find the piano starting to get boring.

After you gave up the piano, you received a ton of letters from fans, but you didn't even read them. After all, the content was basically just asking why you gave up the piano.

[Then, your former agent messaged me saying that two people wanted to meet you.]

[One is a blue-haired girl named Toyokawa Shoko, and the other is a black-haired girl named Shirogane Rinko.]

Both of them participated in piano competitions this year and are waiting for you, eager to defeat you.

But you managed to leave them far behind, went on to participate in an international competition, and even won first place.

You refused to meet; after all, you've given up the piano, and you won't cling to the past.

At 14, you gave up football.

As the core player of the school team, you led the team into the national competition.

The cheers of the audience and the flashing lights of the reporters were all focused on you.

Just when everyone thought you would join the youth academy and embark on a professional football career, you chose to ignore all offers.

"Football is just so-so."

This is something you've said to someone close to you.

And so, your short but brilliant football career came to an end.

After learning about this, your fans sent you a whole bunch of letters, which you naturally refused again.

Yes, that's why you've also refused to appear on television programs.

Then, your agent sent you a message saying someone wanted to meet you.

Who are you wondering who?

The agent said the other person was the child prodigy Ruoye Mu, and the reason for meeting you seemed to be to invite you to join the entertainment industry.

[You thought about it and realized you weren't very interested in acting.]

So the agent declined.

During this time, Takamatsu Tamamochi will continue to be by your side like a shadow.

However, her notebook was already completely full.

Chapter 348 Your Thoughts

At 14, you felt an unprecedented sense of leisure.

You no longer need to practice piano or soccer; you have more free time now.

You don't seem to care much about studying, after all, you have a pretty good income right now.

[Previously released merchandise ensured you wouldn't have to worry about the future; it wouldn't make you extremely wealthy, but it would guarantee a peaceful and stable life.]

[With your vocabulary and related entries, you'll be far better than most people even without studying them.]

If all else fails and you don't have the money, you can always make a comeback and scam some money from your fans, or become a private piano tutor or something.

So, you're very relaxed right now.

[Because you had nothing to do, you started paying attention to your surroundings.]

Over the past few years, more and more girls have been getting around you.

At fourteen years old, being a virgin in Japan is considered "very shameful."

Compared to those self-important boys, you, the handsome, famous, and well-built college prince, are undoubtedly the best choice for girls who want to escape the troubles of adolescence.

[So, you're surrounded by girls, each one eyeing you covetously.]

In the classroom, even something as simple as lending out a pen can become a topic of conversation.

The girl who receives the pen often has to endure the sharp stares from the girls around her.

[During lunch break, if anyone musters the courage to bring you lunch, they'll be met with cold stares and gossip from the girls in your class.]

Some girls deliberately step on someone's new shoes unintentionally; others block her in the bathroom and coldly say, "Stay away from him in the future."

[And in the hallway, if you talk to a girl for too long, the next day a prank will mysteriously appear on her desk: notes filled with sarcastic remarks, a drawer overflowing with milk, or even her textbooks torn up.]

This kind of overt and covert competition makes the air around you almost feel like it's filled with gunpowder.

【what about you?】

[Watched by countless eyes, like prey trapped in a field of flowers.]

The girls' smiles were bright, yet they concealed a sharp edge of jealousy.

They all want to be the "only one," even if it means stepping on others to get to your side.

As for Takamatsu lamps?

She had never participated in such a competition.

When class ended, she was still sitting quietly in the corner, writing something in her notebook.

After school, you're surrounded by a group of girls, while she walks far behind, like a little penguin standing out from the crowd.

But it was precisely because of this quietness that she became the most obstructive presence.

Their childhood friendship made others green with envy.

"Why is it that she got to grow up with you?"

"What's so good about that kind of dull girl?"

"If she dares to get ahead of me, I definitely won't let her get away with it."

[And so, more and more notes appeared on her desk—some sarcastic, some threatening.]

Her shoe cabinet was stuffed with trash, and dead bugs had inexplicably appeared in her desk drawer.

On one occasion, she was even deliberately bumped into in the hallway, scraping her knee.
