In this life, we will meet again

Chapter 42 42. The boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge (two in one)

On the way back, the sunset was red, like sticky jam with a sweet and sour smell, warm but a little bitter.

The street trees sparkled in the pale golden twilight before night, as if small light particles were jumping.

"Really——! Immortal Tree, what are you doing!"

As soon as he got home, his mother saw Baiyuan Xianshu's clothes covered with mud, and immediately stepped forward and touched his face with both hands to ask.

The corners of Baiyuan Immortal Tree's eyes twitched, and his whole body was almost aching.

"It hurts, Band-Aid, Band-Aid."

Baiyuan Miyuki quickly took out the first aid kit from the drawer, disinfected Baiyuan Fairy Tree's wound first, and then put a band-aid on it.

Because he couldn't hide the matter at all, Baiyuan Xianshu told the story of being unilaterally beaten by school gangsters.

Baiyuan Miyuki was furious and wanted to take him to school to find an explanation.

"I'm too tired, can I go again tomorrow?"

All he wants now is a long soak in the bathtub, playing submarine, and then lying on the sofa to relax.

Miyuki Kashiwahara did not forcefully pull him to school. Instead, she walked to the balcony and picked up her cell phone to talk to Chitose Toru's family.

When I came to the bathroom, I took off my clothes that were full of mud, and sat safely in the bathtub. The water temperature was comfortable, and I really wanted to stretch out my hands and fly into its arms.

◇

The next day, a stern-looking Nissan sedan pulled up to the door.

Kurosawa Takao didn't know where he got the news and wanted to take Bai Yuan and his son to school.

"Xian Shu, are you feeling well?" he asked.

"It's good to sleep."

Baiyuan Immortal Tree didn't want to make the atmosphere too heavy, so he spoke as nonchalantly as possible.

The vehicle drove to the school gate, and Chitose Toru's mother was waiting.

As soon as the two mothers who were eager to protect their children met, they acted like "it's not over until I get an explanation." The presence of Takao Kurosawa, the president of the local newspaper, gave them more confidence.

"Where are the others in Wulan?" Baiyuan Immortal Tree asked.

"He said he didn't want to come, and he probably didn't tell his family."

The group came to the teaching room. Seniors Maezawa and Ixiu and their families were there, as well as Coach Hase.

As soon as Baiyuan and his group came in, their parents hurriedly stood up and began to bow and apologize without saying a word.

Bai Yuan Miyuki and Chitose's mother, who were about to have a fit, calmed down a little when they saw each other's parents being so sincere.

"Principal Okamoto." Kurosawa Takao greeted the sitting principal.

When Principal Okamoto saw Kurosawa Takao coming, his heart skipped a beat, and his intuition was not good, and a slightly embarrassed wry smile appeared on his face.

"I didn't expect you to take the time to come over."

"I hope you can solve it well." Kurosawa Takao reached out and patted his arm.

"Of course, definitely."

Then, Bai Yuan Miyuki took out the video and showed it to everyone. In the video, Maezawa and Ixiu were violently raping the Bai Yuan fairy tree.

"This video is farting! The Baiyuan Immortal Tree also hit me!" Senior Jing Xiu lifted up his sleeves unconvinced to reveal the wound, and stretched out his bruised fingers, "These were all caused by the Baiyuan Immortal Tree!"

"You have the nerve to talk!" Senior Jingxiu's father slapped him, "I'm working outside, and you're just causing me trouble by doing these things!"

At this time, Bai Yuan Miyuki sternly reprimanded:

"My child was the one who was beaten unilaterally. He fought hard to get a chance to fight back. There is no room for mercy in this situation!"

Everyone present was speechless by these words, mainly because of the wounds on Baiyuan Xianshu's face. Others simply thought that he was a victim.

"Speaking of Coach Hase, my son said that you were sitting idly by, please explain clearly." Miyuki Kashiwahara stared sharply at Coach Hase who remained silent.

"And the fact that my son has been bullied! Please explain it clearly!" Chitose's mother said.

"What's going on! Hase!" Principal Okamoto frowned immediately.

Coach Hase adheres to the principle of "doing more is worse than doing less", but the current situation no longer allows him to compromise.

He admitted that he silently watched all this happen, but for Coach Hase, this result was nothing more than a sin.

"Hasgu! That's how you become a coach?!" Principal Okamoto pointed at him angrily and said, "You just watch when students have conflicts?! Do you know what impact this will have on our school!"

The first in the school year was beaten, bullied in school, live video, and the coach turned a blind eye.
With various elements gathering at a junior high school, I am afraid that if word of this commotion spreads, it will expand exponentially in Odawara City.

"I'm sorry, principal, I will resign." Coach Hase bowed deeply and apologized to Baiyuan and others, "Boyuan, Chitose, I'm sorry, I am not worthy of being a coach."

"This kind of thing is not simply the fault of one party, but Coach Hase, as an adult, you obviously have a better way to solve it." Miyuki Baiyuan crossed her arms and said, "You must have had a lot of problems before the situation developed to this point. This is the first time we can save it.”

"I'm sorry, it's my problem." Coach Hase's face turned red when he was told that, and he stood at attention and bowed again.

Jing Xiu and Maezawa's parents pushed them in front of Baiyuan Xianshu and Chitose Toru, and shouted: "Quick! Apologize to me!"

".rise."

The two of them seemed to be trying to save face at this time, unable to keep up their shame to apologize to their descendants, their voices were as thin as mosquitoes, and they looked unconvinced.

"Apologise! Is it easy for me! Why can't you give me peace of mind!"

Maezawa's mother pulled and hit him with a tearful voice, and finally knelt down directly to Miyuki Kashiwahara and Chitose's mother to beg for forgiveness.

The air became thick and heavy from the woman's cries and movements.

Baiyuan Xianshu understands that their parents will be angry when they see their children injured, but after knowing the cause of the accident, they still have to suppress their emotions and apologize to others.

He couldn't help but feel this way——

"This is just a drama, a pale farce prepared by some people to 'escape from the present', and no one can benefit from it."

Baiyuan Xianshu and Chitose Toru could only witness the trials of the adults as spectators, like theater audiences.

◇

A few days had passed since the incident, during which time Maezawa and Ixiu's parents personally came to send gifts and apologize.

The other party was sincere and said that he would go through the procedures to transfer his child to another school during the summer vacation.

Baiyuan Xianshu didn't care whether he transferred to another school or not, but the other party insisted on it.

Coach Hase also resigned from the school, and Principal Okamoto handed all the responsibilities to him and promised to find a better baseball coach.

The morale of the baseball club was greatly reduced due to this incident. The club finally gathered the number of people to participate in the preliminaries, and Toru Chitose also played.

But most of them are first-year students. They lost the first game and missed the county junior high school baseball meeting.

In a nearby small park, Kirishima Rina was wearing a knee-length, beautiful-looking skirt paired with a white top.

"It's true! Bai Yuan, you were really scary back then!" She exaggeratedly put her hands on her temples and said with a smile, "I always feel like I will be beaten by you if I say one more word."

Baiyuan Xianshu glanced at her and felt that she had dressed up before coming.

"Thank you so much for this matter, it was finally resolved smoothly." He said with a smile.

With Toru Chitose's ability, being successfully elected as a regular player is no problem at all. He has also become friends with the Goran Kaito who once bullied him. I am afraid that the first-year baseball team will also focus on them in the future.

Kirishima Rena stretched out her legs, stared at the shoes with her big watery eyes and said, "But having said that, I really saw the right person."

"Praise me or you?"

"Of course you are praising me." Kirishima Rina showed a naughty expression and winked at the Baiyuan fairy tree. "My eyes are like stars in the sky. They only wink at good people."

"Then I can see the stars twinkling every night."

"Then you are a good person?"

Baiyuan Xianshu smiled faintly, took out a new stack of music scores from his schoolbag and handed it to her and said, "Stop, didn't your sister come out?"

"She is one of those people who can't go out without going out." Kirishima Rina took the sheet music and looked at it, then said with a surprised look on her face, "'Summertime'? Did you write it again?"

"Well, I've already written down some important points."

Kirishima Rena's little mouth opened slightly, and she sang to the beat with her feet tapping:
"If I could become your prisoner, this summer would definitely be more fulfilling~~"

"Even if you can't go back to the past, don't forget~~" "Haha, the words you wrote are so boring!" Kirishima Reina's face suddenly lit up and she laughed without concealment.

Her hair was swaying in the wind, and the wild grass and flowers in the park were moving forward and back, as if they were laughing along with the girl.

Baiyuan Xianshu responded to her ridicule and said: "It would be fine if I wrote words like "Peter Pan", then a bunch of 80s uncles would be attracted to watch your performance in the audience with their big bellies. "

"No! That kind of word is too old-fashioned! This kind is very good. When will you come to my house?"

Kirishima Rena put away the music score and saw Bai Yuan Senshu showing a dumbfounded expression. She immediately blushed and explained,

"No, no. What I mean is, you can't go on stage without singing to you, can you?"

Baiyuan Xianshu's expression was just teasing her: "Don't worry about this, I will be back before your performance."

Kirishima Reina asked in confusion: "Come back? Are you going to travel too?"

"Go to Fujisawa."

"Fujisawa? It seems very close." Kirishima Rina put her hand on her chin and shrugged, "Then remember to bring souvenirs back."

"Actually, from the moment I was born, I was thinking about how to move Enoshima back home."

"Ah? How is it possible?"

"How many refrigerators should I buy? Is Enoshima suitable for freezing or keeping fresh?"

"I don't know, but I do know that human brains are best kept fresh."

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while in the park and then dispersed.

◇

July 21.

"The Kanto area is covered with dark clouds. This morning, a strong low pressure group is moving northward from the Ogasawara Islands. Bad weather is expected at night."

The sky this morning was gray, and yesterday's weather forecast was accurate for once. The humid air blowing from Somo Bay seemed to announce that an unfriendly typhoon was coming from afar.

Baiyuan Senshu sat on the bed and scratched his hair. Today was obviously the day to reunite with Qingqiu Mai, but the weather was not very good.

I was a little worried about how to dress up, but in the end I decided to dress casually, a pair of brown trousers and a shirt. I was afraid it would get cold if it rained, and I added a thin jacket.

"If she is caught dressing up deliberately, she will probably laugh at her." Baiyuan Immortal Tree couldn't help but sneer in a low voice.

Baiyuan Xianshu was changing his shoes at Xuanmen when he felt someone approaching from behind.

"Xianshu, will you be back before dinner?"

Bai Yuan Miyuki asked.

"Will do."

"Be careful of cars on the road."

"I'm not a primary school student anymore, am I?"

"Did you read yesterday's weather forecast?"

"I ate the air pressure ball in one bite."

Baiyuan Immortal Tree smiled at her mother and walked out of the entrance.

I made an appointment with Miai Aoyama to meet at Odawara Station at eight-thirty.
Arriving at Odawara Station, I sat on the blue bench and waited for the arrival of Aoyama Meiai.

It was past the agreed time, and the message on her phone was "a traffic light" from 10 minutes ago.

The last message was from her——

"Almost there".

Just when Baiyuan Xianshu wanted to call directly to inquire, a black car happened to park next to him.

Judging from the distance, it seemed as if they were coming to pick him up.

Someone was in the driver's seat and stepped over to open the passenger door.

"Nomura-sensei! A lot of time has been wasted! Get in the car quickly!"

It was Cangshan Meiai, her tone was urgent, and Baiyuan Xianshu hurriedly got into the car.

"Close the car door quickly."

"Closed."

"Fasten your seat belt."

"It's fastened."

"Sit tight! Then I'm about to start!"

The vehicle started steadily, then increased the accelerator and started running. Soon, the roof of Odawara Station was no longer visible.

Baiyuan Xianshu glanced at her. She was wearing a pure white long-sleeved navel-baring T-shirt, a black miniskirt of the same style on her lower body, and thick-soled shoes.

"Editor Cangshan?"

"how?"

"Is it okay to drive?"

"I'm driving well."

"I said your shoes."

"These are thick-soled shoes, doesn't Mr. Nomura know?"

"Of course I know. Are you driving in this?"

This is not a simple question, it is a confirmation of life.

"My feet feel very good, so it's no problem." As if to change the subject, Miai Aoyama lifted her bangs youthfully and said, "Mr. Nomura, what do you think of me today? Am I attractive?"

When a woman in her 30s asked such a question, Baiyuan Xianshu was so scared that his courage broke.

"Very, very charming."

Cangshan Meiai clenched the steering wheel with one hand and a fist with the other and shouted: "Yo Xi! I will win today!"

"We are going to interview Qingqiu Mai, right?" Baiyuan Xianshu was a little worried that today's goal had changed.

"Of course, wow, I didn't expect to interview Mai Kiyoaki." Miai Aoyama said while playing the music of "Maria Ozawa", "Does Mr. Nomura like Mai Kiyoaki?"

Baiyuan Fairy Tree looked out the car window. Xiangmo Bay looked dark as a whole, and there seemed to be more and more mud in the water.

"good."

"Actually, when I was young, I was as good-looking as Kiyoaki Mai!" Miai Aoyama was suddenly aroused by a junior high school girl to compare with her. "What kind of beautiful girl you meet once in a thousand years? Those are just gimmicks of her agency, just packaging. La packaging!”

Baiyuan Xianshu didn't say anything. It was meaningless to refute the comparison between women. On the contrary, he might be hurt by it.

"Did Editor Cangshan go to Fujisawa for personal matters?" he asked.

"Yes." Cangshan Meiai's face suddenly fell down, showing a serious expression, "Although I am embarrassed to say it, I will go on a blind date after the interview."

"Editor Cangshan must be good at it."

Baiyuan Xianshu's words came from the heart, and he was not just concerned about her mood.

"This is my sixth blind date this year."

"Perhaps those five people have really bad taste."

It would be embarrassing to speak again, but it would be even more embarrassing not to speak.

Cangshan Meiai's eyes were fixed on the road ahead, and she said in a deep voice: "Now it is no longer possible to escape or cover up. I can only believe that love is like a boat, it will naturally straighten out when it reaches the bridge."

To a certain extent, it is quite good for a person who has been here for more than 30 years to come to this kind of realization.

　Thanks to [R Qingye Rin] (Thank you God) [Growth is to know that maturity is to pretend not to know] for the reward, thank [Book Friends 20210301106559780790] [Potato 1521] for the monthly votes, and thank you all for your recommendation votes. ,
