Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 358 Lecture on Approach
Entering June, cold and warm air from different directions meet over the Japanese archipelago without giving in to each other. Rain clouds linger and precipitation continues.

In a blink of an eye, Aomori has entered the rainy season for more than half a month.

In the rainy season, it does not rain every day, and occasionally it will be completely clear.

It's just that in the face of the rare sunny day, some people complained that it came at an untimely time.

"Why doesn't it rain today..."

Mori Jian raised his eyes and looked out of the window, the blue sky could barely see a cloud, "It's so boring."

It wasn't raining, but the air humidity was still high and the temperature was rising, making it even more uncomfortable.

Especially sleepy afternoons.

Naruse held his head, listening to Morimi's muttering complaints in his left ear, and listening to the teacher's explanation on the podium in his right ear, he wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep, it was extremely painful.

"...Did you hear that?"

"I heard it, I heard it."

"What did I just say?"

"..."

Naruse supported his head with another hand.

After all, it was just a venting complaint, and Sen Jian didn't bother to repeat it to him, so he glared at him and turned back.

On the podium, seeing that it was almost time, Yanagizawa finally finished his confession.

"Then, let's go to the gym first."

There was a sound of dragging tables and chairs in the classroom, and weak complaints and sighs could be heard everywhere.

"Let's go." Senjian got up, and touched the head of the back seat casually.

"I haven't washed my hair for a week."

"..."

She raised her eyebrows and wiped her hand on the uniform on his shoulder.

After wiping his face and refreshing himself, Naruse also stood up and followed her to the outside of the classroom.

Line up in the corridor, and several other classes on the fourth floor also came out.

"Sit in the gymnasium and listen to lectures at this time, and the sleepiness rate is not higher than 50.00% is considered a success."

Senjian just smiled, she was not very confident about whether she could stay awake all the time.

"Which university is the professor here?"

"Hitsubashi University."

This afternoon, at the Tsugo Gymnasium, there was a career guidance lecture for second-year students. The person who came was a professor from the Department of Sociology of Hitotsubashi University in Tokyo.

"Hittotsubashi University...you really came from a long way."

Sen Jian turned to look at him, "Are you interested?"

"I have the time to take the exam for Yiqiao, why don't I go directly to the University of Tokyo?" Naruse asked back.

"Then do you want to take the entrance exam to Dongda?"

"No exam."

As the two talked, the team quickly assembled and walked downstairs.

Arriving at the first floor, passing by the atrium, looking at the hydrangeas blooming in full bloom in the garden flower bed, Naruse looked up at the sky again.

"Don't expect it, there is no rain today." Morimi said.

"I know……"

When I came to the gymnasium, because only the second graders participated in the lectures, the seats of each class were arranged relatively apart, and it was not so crowded.

Class A of the second year sat at the front as a matter of course.

Dragging the chair, Naruse found a seat in the second row and sat down, with Morimi sitting next to him.

On the stage, the projection screen has been put down, and a middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s is fiddling with a laptop in front of the podium.

Projected on the screen is the theme of this lecture, as well as the origin of this professor: Masahiro Shichijo, Graduate School of Social Data Science, Hitotsubashi University.

After a few glances, Naruse turned around, and the students of Class B and Class C were also taking their seats one after another.

He quickly saw Shangzi, and also Haixing who was sitting with her.

When he looked back again, he found that Mr. Principal, who usually didn't show up very much, had also come over and was talking to Yanagizawaoka.

While talking, the teacher's eyes suddenly looked over here, and kept nodding.

"..."

Naruse was startled, and could almost guess their plan.

"what happened?"

Seeing him suddenly bend over and lower his head, Sen Jian asked.

"Suddenly I felt a little uncomfortable... When Liu Ze came over later, you just told him that."

"what?"

If he didn't say the second half of the sentence, she would almost believe it.

When he was wondering, the teacher came over.

"Narase."

Morimi glanced at Naruse who had his head down and didn't move, and replied for him: "He has a stomachache."

"Huh? It's okay, right?"

He still didn't respond, so Morimi could only bite the bullet and make it up.

"It seems to hurt quite badly..."

"Ok."

Liu Zegang didn't say much, "Namori sees you, sit in the first row here."

"Eh……"

"Professor Shichijo will come down later to interact with the students, so Morimi will come to ask him questions. You can ask any questions, as long as they are related to the topic of the lecture. Well, it's almost enough to prepare three to four questions..."

"—He's just pretending." Morimi betrayed Naruse without any hesitation.

"Ok?"

She smiled, and stretched a hand behind her, pinching his waist.

"Narase is in good spirits."

Yanagisawa looked at Naruse again.

"hiss……"

After knocking off the hand that was still pinching his waist, he also raised his gaze.

"Is it all right to just ask a few questions, don't you want to say something about your feelings?"

"no, I'm fine."

"OK then."

Yanagizawa didn't care about his pretending to be sick, and just said: "Then Naruse and Morimi should sit in the first row."

"Me?" Sen Jian was surprised.

"Well, two students are needed. Since Naruse is fine, let's go with Mori-san. Now you can discuss the questions you will ask later."

"..."

She glared at Naruse again, and he had already got up and walked to the first row.

Mori Jian had no choice but to follow suit.

"Two students are needed, you can't escape."

"One must be you, but the other may not necessarily be me."

"Didn't you see that the principal is also here? He found Yanagisawa just now, and he must have said, 'Let the best student in your class interact with Professor Shichitiao later'."

Mori Jian sneered, "So you pretended to be sick and tried to push it on me."

Naruse coughed, "The opportunity to interact with professors at Hitotsubashi University is not something everyone can get."

"So what about Hitotsubashi University? It's not a professor at Peking University."

"You are really determined to take the Beijing University exam."

"Later, I will ask what skills Kao Jingda has. The university professors should have more unique insights."

"Stop it……"

After a while, when all the second-grade students came to the gymnasium, the lecture began.

[Achieving the goal of solving social problems through the integration of social science and data science - the challenge of social data science]

Looking at the huge text title on the projection screen, Shangzi sitting below was a little dazed, not just because of the sleepiness in the afternoon.

Her parents, biological parents, were also sociology scholars... although that was many years ago.

She was in a trance when her shoulders suddenly sank.

"..."

Such lectures were not attractive to Hai Xing, she was the first to be unable to support herself and fell asleep.

Shangzi looked at her for a while, but didn't wake her up. He took a breath, raised his spirits, and looked forward again.

On the stage, the university professor finished an interesting speech, walked down with a microphone, and asked the students below if they had any questions.

In the front row, where Class A was, two figures stood up at the same time.

"..."

One of them was her boyfriend.

The two looked at each other, and Yiye next to him quickly sat down again.

"Professor, I want to ask..."

Shangzi suddenly became much more energetic, and listened to his question verbatim, and then saw the professor pat him on the shoulder in surprise, signaling him to sit down first.

"That's a good question... Actually, even if you don't ask, I'll talk about it later, so I'll just bring it up. By the way, what's your name?"

"Narase Harumi."

As if she had also been praised, Shangzi straightened her body, looked at her boyfriend's back, and smiled.

Then she saw Yiye who was sitting next to him, gently bumped his arm, and said something with a smile.

He also tilted his head, smiling in response.

"..."

The smile on Shangzi's face froze slightly.

"Well……"

Starfish was fast asleep when she was shaken awake suddenly.

"That professor stared at me just now." She leaned back when she fell asleep just now, looking forward.
