Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 196
After Valentine's Day, it's still cold.

Even at noon, when the wind and snow kept blowing, people could only shrink their necks and cover their clothes tightly.

The bulletin board in the atrium stands in the wind and snow without any cover, but at this moment, there are many people watching around, looking for something on it.

I finished the annual exam last Friday, and today I announced the top [-] list.

Following Ogasawara as he squeezed in, Mori heard her say before he could stand still, "One leaf is still second."

"..."

She stopped and looked inside.

[First place: Harumi Naruse]

After staring at the name at the top of the list for a while, she looked down at her own name.

[Second place: Ichiyo Morimi]

The difficulty of the exam has risen sharply, but the positions of the two have not changed.

"One leaf is still very good..." Ogasawara pushed his glasses and said, "This exam is so difficult."

Sen saw the list, "For us, the more difficult the exam, the more stable the ranking, isn't it?"

"is that so……"

Ogasawara turned around with a mournful face.

"I fell."

"Eh……"

"Falled to No.11."

She looks down.

【No. 11th place: Apricot Ogasawara】

"Hmm... didn't you play well?"

Before, although Ogasawara had never been admitted to the first place in the grade, he was always hovering around the fifth or sixth place in the grade, and never fell out of the top ten.

Ogasawara covered his face and sighed.

"That guy Xiaolin, he came to me on the day of the exam and asked me when I planned to send him chocolates..."

"..."

Sen Jian was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

And Ogasawara quickly adjusted, and looked at the list again.

"Isn't it all taken on Valentine's Day? Why are these people's rankings so stable... Well, this name..."

She glanced twice, then turned to look at Sen Jian.

"This person in the ninth grade is Yiye's friend."

Sen Jian was taken aback for a moment, "Ninth?"

"Look."

She looked over, and a familiar yet unfamiliar name appeared in a place she hadn't noticed just now.

[Ninth place: Shangzi this flower]

"..."

This is the first time the name has appeared in such a high position.

【"... Shangzi actually has great potential in learning."】

Shangzi really got into the top ten of the grade.

"It's her, the one from Class C."

"Ah, um..."

Morimi nodded in a daze.

Ogasawara looked at her, "What's wrong?"

"fine……"

She shook her head, she didn't want to say more, but she couldn't help but said, "I just feel that the speed of her progress... is a bit scary."

It even made her a little inexplicably panicked.

"Really, what level was student Hua before?"

"The last exam was No. 20, and the last exam was the first time she entered the top [-] of the grade."

Ogasawara was also taken aback.

"Sure enough...how did you do it? Did Yiye give her counseling?"

"The one who tutors her is the first grader."

"What about Yiye's boyfriend... Mmmmm."

Sen Jian covered her mouth, expressionless.

"Don't talk nonsense."

"..."

Ogasawara nodded before she let go.

Looking at the two names approaching step by step on the list, she sighed softly again.

Ogasawara looked at her, but didn't speak.

From top to bottom, and finally scanned the names of Ten in front of him, Sen Jian turned and squeezed out, "Go back."

"wait for me……"

As soon as she squeezed out of the crowd, she saw the three people from Class C walking towards this side.

"See you." Naruse greeted first.

"Ah."

"Have you seen it?" he asked.

"What are you doing?" She said in a bad tone.

Aware of her emotions, Naruse was a little baffled, Takikawa Hikaru said:

"I heard that Shangzi has entered the top ten this time, let's come and have a look."

"..."

She looked at Shangzi beside her, who also looked at her.

Sen Jian nodded, and quickly smiled again.

"Well, Shangzi is really amazing."

Seeing her nodding, Shangzi also showed a happy smile that could not be concealed.

"Thanks to Yiye and Chunhai for their guidance."

"Go and see, I'll go up first."

"Ah."

After walking a few steps, Morimi turned around again.

Ogasawara also stopped.

Relying on their stature, Naruse and Takikawa Hikaru forced a way out, protecting Shangzi and squeezed into the innermost part of the crowd of onlookers.

Hikaru Takikawa raised his hand and clicked on Naoko's name, then pointed to the top of the list, and then the second below.

"..."

Seeing the smiles on the faces of the three of them one after another, she suddenly regretted not staying there for a while longer.

Shangzi is ninth, but she is second...

"The one next to Takigawa is No. 9 Konoka, right?" Ogasawara asked while looking over there.

"Ah."

"I really can't tell..."

"What can't you see?" Sen Jian asked.

"I can't tell she's so smart. Although I haven't met her before, I often see her walking with Yiye. Before, I thought she was a very gentle but empty-headed type... just like my sister. "

"She actually said 'empty head'... She is a friend I grew up with."

"sorry!"

Mori took another deep breath.

"Although it looks gentle and more harmless than light, if you underestimate Shangzi because of this, you will suffer."

"I've already suffered - isn't this pushing me down?" Ogasawara said with a sad face.

Sen Jian smiled.

Looking back at the bulletin board for the last time, she turned around, "Go up."

Back in the classroom, Ogasawara waved his hand and went back to his seat first, Morimi walked towards Haixing.

"How about it, have you asked about the grades?"

"what."

Starfish was fiddling with her phone and looked up at her.

"No... Didn't Yiye say that everyone's scores in this exam are relatively low, and it's easier to pass?"

"..."

So just ignore it completely?

Sen Jian felt a little helpless, "That's what I said, but does Hai Xing have the confidence to play at his usual level?"

"should be no problem……"

"If you wait until after school in the afternoon to say there is a problem, I won't help you."

"...I'll ask now!"

Hai Xing's sliver of self-confidence came entirely from her, as soon as she heard her say that, she immediately got up and went to the staff room.

Returning to his seat, Morimi was distracted while looking at the door of the classroom.

It was just a sense of loss that lingered in her heart all the time, making her unable to be completely calm.

After waiting in a daze for a while, Haixing didn't come back. The three of Naruse who went down to check the rankings came up first and walked past the door of Class E classroom.

"..."

Looking at each other from a distance, she still hasn't regained her senses, and there is no reaction, and the same is true for Naruse.

He kept walking, and when he disappeared behind the wall and reappeared in the window, he had already withdrawn his gaze and didn't look at her again.

Naoko and Hikari Takigawa, who were traveling with her, greeted her with eyes and nods.

The three quickly walked outside Class E.

"..."

The feeling of losing something suddenly became stronger, and she lay down on the table.

She regretted it even more.

After a while, Haixing returned to the classroom.

"One leaf!"

She ran over, "I passed all my subjects!"

"Ah."

The body couldn't lift up, until Haixing stopped in front of him, Morimi raised his head and smiled at her, "That's great."

Starfish clenched his fists tightly with both hands.

"Now there is no need to make up exams, and there is no need to repeat grades..."

Although she was very inactive about asking about the results before, in the final analysis, it was because she had no confidence. Seeing the results now, her happiness and satisfaction were fully displayed on her face.

Looking at her smile, the dissatisfaction in Mori Jian's heart was also diluted a lot.

"Congratulations……"

"what."

Hai Xing suddenly added another sentence:
"Also, Yiye also got the second grade in the exam this time, really amazing."

"..."

She opened her mouth, quickly lay down on the table, and turned her head to the window.

"……Um."

Hai Xing looked at her, and vaguely felt that her voice seemed to be trembling.

"One leaf..."

She took a deep breath, "I want to take a break."

"Ah good……"

Just as Hai Xing was about to go back, she suddenly reached out and held her hand.

"Thank you... starfish."
