Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 60 Anxiety
The library of the prefectural Jin Gao is hidden in the corner of the annex building, but its area is not small, almost the size of two or three classrooms spliced ​​together.There are many bookshelves inside, and there are many collections of books.

It's just that most of the time, there are not many visitors here, and it is the same today.

Naruse found an empty desk nearby and sat down, Hai Xing took the bag and sat across from him, looking around curiously, it seemed that he didn't come here often.

After she finished looking at it, Naruse said, "Let me see the test paper for the make-up exam just now."

Hai Xing took out two failed test papers from his schoolbag and gave them to him.

Naruse lowered her head to read the message, she looked at him for a while, then looked away.

"..."

The desk here is facing the entrance of the library, and it is also within the field of vision of the front desk.And Mori Jian who was sitting inside was looking at them at this time, and seemed to be looking straight ahead.

Before they could meet each other, Hai Xing hurriedly looked away.

It was rare to come to the library to study, and she felt a little fresh just now, but at this moment she suddenly realized that she was under the close surveillance of two "strict teachers".

"Let's start with English."

Naruse didn't notice her discovery, and stared at the test paper in his hand for a while, and said, "Remember the meaning of these phrases, figure out a few grammars within the scope of this test, and it shouldn't be a problem just to pass."

"Um……"

Memorizing words can only be done by Haixing himself. All he can do now is to explain to her some grammatical problems that have been exposed on the test paper.

He opened the English book, searched for it, copied a sentence in his notebook, and then used a red pen to draw a horizontal line under several words and short sentences.

"Let's start with this sentence."

Looking up and seeing Hai Xing on the other side of the desk tilting his head, Naruse had no choice but to pat the table with his right hand.

"You sit here."

"..."

Hai Xing looked at him, hesitated for a moment, then got up and sat beside him.

She moved the chair, carefully controlling the distance between them, neither touching nor being too far away to make them invisible.

"Do you understand the meaning of the underlined words?"

"I don't fully understand..."

The two taught one another and started tutoring.

At the front desk, Senjian stared at them for a while, then looked down at his book.

In the calm, time flows slowly.

Occasionally, someone will come to borrow or return books. As a library committee member, her job is to record or organize the returned books, and then return them to the corresponding bookshelves.

"that……"

Mori looked up, and there was a girl standing outside the counter, "I'll return the book."

"Scan the barcode and put it here." She pointed to the shelf next to it that was dedicated to returning books.

"Ok."

drop--

After scanning the code, the books on the shelf were already full, and she couldn't fit them in, so she placed them sideways.

Morimi also noticed this, got up and went outside the counter, and organized them according to the book codes.

It was almost done, and no one would come to the front desk for a while, so she walked towards the bookshelf with the book in her arms.

After carrying it back and forth several times in this way, the accumulated books gradually bottomed out.

The last two books need to be placed on the bookshelf behind Naruse and Haixing.

Mori Jian went over with the book and glanced at the two of them.

Hai Xing lowered her head, frowning tightly, and the pen in her hand hovered unconfidently on the paper, unable to drop it;

Naruse held his chin and was staring at Hai Xing at first, but he caught a glimpse of her movement from the corner of his eye and looked at her again.

"Do you need help."

"Need not."

Mori Jian stuffed the book into the bookshelf, "I'm done."

She glanced at the notebook in front of Haixing. There were several fill-in-the-blank questions on it. Judging from the content, she was examining the grammar she had just learned.

The content is very basic, she can get the answer at a glance, but Hai Xing can't, the side of her face is already sweating.

But she didn't know that the pressure she put on Hai Xing by standing behind her like a teacher was much greater than the problem itself.

"Take a break." Naruse said suddenly.

Hai Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body also relaxed.

Sen Jian didn't say anything, and went back to the front desk to sit down.

Naruse turned around in front of the bookshelf.

When he was about to go around to the other side, he said to Hai Xing: "Fill out those few questions, and you can turn the pages of the book."

"……Oh."

There are all kinds of books in the school library, and Naruse often comes to borrow books.After wandering around for a while, he found a novel that was to his taste, and he took it to the front desk to borrow it.

Mori Jian glanced at it, "I also have this book in my store."

"yes."

"Do you still want to borrow it?"

"Can you read the books in your store for free?"

"No."

"borrow."

drop--

She took the book and scanned the code, then typed [Narase Harumi, Class C, [-]st year] on the keyboard, and she handed the book to Naruse.

He took the book, but his eyes still stayed on her face.

Sen Jian lowered his eyes after completing the borrowing procedures. He wanted to turn a blind eye, but he stared too presumptuously.

"What are you doing?"

She didn't even remember how many times she glared at him today.

"I'm thinking……"

Looking at her frowning eyebrows, Naruse pondered for a few seconds, "Is Morimi putting too much pressure on himself?"

"..."

Sen Jian pursed his lower lip, "No."

"Really." Naruse lowered his head and flipped through the book in his hand, "It just feels like you've been a little anxious today..."

"--No!"

"..."

Not far away, Hai Xing, who was turning the pages of the book, shook his shoulders and looked over quietly.

Naruse was very calm, didn't say anything, and returned to his seat with the book.

"Have you made it?"

Hai Xing looked at him, nodded again, and pushed the note over.

Naruse glanced at it and knew she was doing the right thing.

"Although I haven't fully memorized it yet, at least I know how to use it. Let's go back and practice a few more times... Well, you should memorize all these sentences."

"Oh."

Hai Xing responded, and subconsciously looked at the stage in front of him, only to find that Sen Jian fell down at some point.

Naruse also noticed.

With his back turned, Hai Xing heard him take a deep breath.

"Is this always the case every time she fails the exam?"

Starfish looked back at him.

"...She didn't fail the exam."

Even this time, in Hai Xing's mind, it was not a failure at all.

The top ten in the grade of the county Jin high school, can that be considered a failure in the exam?
So what is it that she failed three subjects?
"It's just a small loss."

Naruse leaned back and looked up at the whitish fluorescent tube, "Even if the goal is Kyoto University, she put too much pressure on herself, when is now..."

Hai Xing looked at Sen Jian again, but didn't speak.

Yesterday at the aquarium, he heard her complain about the gap in talent between the two, and he thought she had let go of the results of this exam, but he saw her anxious face early this morning.

Or, are there other reasons?

Naruse sat up straight again, thinking carefully.

From the point of failing the exam...

People who fail less, because they cannot accept failure, want to do something to prove themselves after failure, especially in front of people they care about.

Morimi, who has been the number one in his grade since entering middle school, is undoubtedly the kind of person who has almost never failed.

And what she wants to prove is nothing more than her own learning ability.

As for who she cares about...

He glanced at the starfish next to him, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

"..."

Not so much, right?

Just according to the possibility he just thought of, many things can be explained.

Naruse took out his phone, and after a while he suddenly said, "Starfish."

"...what are you doing?"

"Shangzi is in a hurry to find me, I have to go there now."

He stood up and raised his chin towards the front desk again, "Sen Jian is quite free now, let her tutor you."

"what?"

Hai Xing stared at him dumbfounded, a little dazed and flustered.

"Forget it, let me tell you."

When he came to the front desk, Sen Jian was still lying on his stomach inside.

"See you Sen."

She moved her head slightly, but ignored it.

"Cry?"

"..."

She finally raised her head and glared at him, using the dry corners of her eyes under the lens to prove that she was not that fragile.

Although the eyes are a little red.

"Shangzi is in a hurry, I have to go there. Can Haixing please, I have passed the make-up exam in mathematics, and I still have English and biology left, so it's not a big problem, right?"

Accident flashed across his face, and Sen Jian looked at him silently for a while.

"If you don't object, I'll take it as your consent."

After a few more seconds of silence, she nodded.

After greeting Hai Xing again, Naruse left the library first.

Watching his figure disappear at the door, Morimi shifted his gaze and exchanged a glance with Hai Xing.

"..."

What the hell have I been angry with all day long?

It's really...inexplicable...

Morimi took a deep breath, got up and walked out of the front desk, and came to Hai Xing's side.

"Let me sit outside, I have to take care of the front desk."

　The editor said that because there is still a round of recommendations, the listing will be postponed until next Monday. . .

　　==I sent all my testimonials on the shelves. .

　　So it will be updated normally until next Monday.
