"Welcome back."

Hinazuki Kana is preparing food.

"Did you have fun today?"

Xia Tingfei looked at the girl's back and sat at the table.

"I finally made friends, which is quite refreshing."

Hinazuki Kana smiled: "However, I don't know much about ordinary people's things."

She was a little troubled: "Today, I went to sing karaoke. However, I don't know how to sing any songs, so I can only listen to them singing."

"Is it embarrassing?" Xia Tingfei said lightly.

"According to the situation at that time, it was indeed very embarrassing." Hinazuki Kana had already prepared the food: "However, I am not too embarrassed."

"Isn't this what you taught me?" The girl put the food on the table: "Be strong and so on. If you feel embarrassed because of this, everything you did before was in vain."

The main dish tonight is rice, and the side dishes are fried tempura, fried fish, and miso soup.

There is also a small bowl of diced pickled cucumbers to relieve greasiness.

The fried tempura has red and white shrimp tails wrapped in a brown and crispy shell. The fried fish is shiny on both sides, and the fish skin on the outside is fried to a crispy texture.

The diced pickled cucumbers are sour, crisp and cool enough to solve the greasy problem.

"How are you today? Is Nishimiya Ruri okay?" the girl asked: "Just now, I heard Nishimiya Ruri crying, and there was her mother."

"It's just an ordinary mother and daughter who love each other but have a bad relationship, crying with joy after finally opening their hearts one day."

Xia Tingfei said nonchalantly: "Of course, it may also be because Nishinomiya Liuli finally said "I love you" to her mother."

"It is not good!"

Hinazuki Kana held her chin with one hand and looked at Xia Tingfei: "All of this must be your fault. I can tell that your voice is a little hoarse."

"What kind of credit is this?" Xia Tingfei pouted: "I just taught her a sentence."

"Don't say that, Xia Tingfei." Hinazuki Kana walked behind Xia Tingfei and hugged his head: "You must have done many other things behind your back."

"It's like how you treat me. Although on the surface, you haven't done anything. But I know that you have made a lot of efforts, even though you don't care about other people's evaluations."

"But, I still tell you. You are amazing."

Hinazuki Kana smiled: "Without you, the girl would obviously have suffered even more embarrassing things."

"It was you who saved that girl, Xia Tingfei."

"This is not a rescue." Xia Tingfei said, "It's just letting her learn to speak."

"Xigong Liuli still has more important matters that have not been resolved." Xia Tingfei said.

"You are so stubborn." Hinazuki Kana patted Xia Tingfei on the shoulder in distress, and said softly: "But I will keep your contribution in mind."

The two were silent for a while, and Hinazuki Kana told Xia Tingfei something again.

"Today, Sheriff Sakuma came to see me. He said that after school, if I have time, he can let me learn some knowledge about being a security officer, and there is a subsidy available."

"Money?" Xia Tingfei asked.

"No, it's some ingredients and daily necessities." The girl said: "It's not enough because he doesn't have time, but his daughter can teach me."

"Isn't this good?" Xia Tingfei looked at Hinazuki Kana: "But, doesn't academic work matter?"

"Study, because I have made some new girl friends. When we are together, we will do homework together. So I can still keep up."

Hinazuki Kana said easily: "What about you? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

"Not yet." Xia Tingfei said: "That girl works very hard."

"You said that as if I didn't work hard." Hinazuki Kana pouted and patted Xia Tingfei's shoulder in dissatisfaction.

"If I hadn't forced you to a dead end in the first place, you would definitely not have changed."

Xia Tingfei just smiled.

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower." Hinazuki Kana patted Xia Tingfei on the shoulder angrily: "So, I'll ask you to clear the dishes."

Xia Tingfei waved his hand, indicating that Hinazuki Kana could go.

When Hinazuki Kana walked to the stairs, she waved her hand to Xia Tingfei: "Let's work hard together."
-
The next day, when Xia Tingfei and Hinazuki Kana left home.

She found that Yaeko Nishimiya was waiting for them. After seeing Xia Tingfei and Hinazuki Kana coming out, she walked over quickly.

"I really don't know what to say."

In her hand she held a gift box wrapped in oil paper, with a thin hemp rope twisted on it.

It looks like some kind of long-established pastry.

Xia Tingfei looked at Xi Gong Liuli's mother in front of her - this mother who used to be tired and overworked, now seemed to be full of energy.

Although, there are still slight dark circles.

But the corners of his mouth that used to be as tight as iron are now loose and slightly curved.

My long hair, which was simply tied up before, is now properly styled.

I originally had the impression that he was a stubborn and stern person, but now he has become a bit gentler.

"Anyway, thank you."

Nishimiya Yaeko handed the gift box in her hand to Xia Tingfei. She treated Xia Tingfei in an extremely formal manner as if she were a peer: "Thank you so much for your help to Liuli."

"These are some pastries, please accept them."

"You're too polite." Xia Tingfei replied, took the gift box, kept it, and handed it to Hinazuki Kana.

The two of them chatted for a while before finally ending.

She hurried to work.

Hinazuki Kana returned home and put her things away.

Xia Tingfei waited for Hinazuki Kana to come back before going to school together.

Qingchuan has many slopes and beautiful scenery.

The two were walking on the road, and Hinazuki Kana said, "Do you know? Nishimiya's mother has never shed tears before."

"Oh?" Xia Tingfei was a little curious: "Where did you hear this?"

"Yuko told me."

Hinazuki Kana continued: "Yuko told me that she was conceived when her mother was driven away by her husband's family. Because of Nishimiya Ruri's hearing impairment, Nishimiya's mother was in tears at that time and was extremely haggard."

"It's just because of the encouragement of Grandma Nishimiya. That's why Nishimiya's mother persists until now. However, since then, she has become extremely tough and never sheds tears."

"Yesterday was probably the first time in more than ten years that she shed tears."

"Oh" Xia Tingfei just responded softly.

"So, I wonder if my experience would have been completely different if my mother had been helped by her mother as well."

She said so.

Xia Tingfei turned his head and looked at Hinazuki Kana.

The girl's face was not filled with nostalgia, nor was it just imagination.

"Does Sugi-kun think that I will show a weak expression?" Hinazuki Kana smiled, arranging her flaxen hair that reached her shoulders.

"I was just thinking." The girl showed a relieved expression: "If it was really like that, I probably wouldn't have met Sugi-kun."

She said: "In that case, maybe I will become an ordinary girl."

"You think too much." Xia Tingfei looked at Hinazuki Kana: "Besides, you will be late for school."

"Sure enough, you have no interest in ordinary girls." Hinazuki Kana walked to Xia Tingfei's side.

Xia Tingfei didn't answer.

The two returned to school, and Miyoko Sahara stopped Xia Tingfei.

"Xia Tingfei, can you come to the atrium?"

She said this with a bit of shyness on her face.

Probably because Hinazuki Kana is still here.

"Then, I'll go first, Sugi-kun."

Hinazuki Kana shook her hand at Xia Tingfei: "By the way, you can apply for the club today. What will the club be called?"

"Let's call him Tiexin."

"Okay, but now it's just the two of us. It can probably only be a club, and the funds for activities are a little less than that of a formal society."

Hinazuki Kana said a few words and left.

Xia Tingfei and Miyoko Sahara arrived at a corner of the atrium. Xia Tingfei looked at the girl in front of him.

She is about the same height as him and has boyish hair.

Wearing calf socks and round toe shoes, the whole person looks very big.

"So, what's the matter?"

Xia Tingfei looked at the girl in front of him.

"About Nishimiya-san." Miyoko Sahara just said a word, but was interrupted by Xia Tingfei.

"If it's about Nishimiya Ruri, I think it's better for you not to speak without permission."

Xia Tingfei looked at Miyoko Sahara sternly: "If you just want to surpass Naoko Ueno, you don't have to use this method."

Miyoko Sahara did not expect that her idea would be exposed immediately.

She lowered her head uneasily and grabbed the hem of her skirt.

He mustered up the courage again: "Although I want to surpass Naoko Ueno, isn't it for Nishimiya Ruri that everyone learns sign language?"

"Why? Why did you do that?"

Miyoko Sahara questioned Xia Tingfei.

"Don't you think you are too self-righteous?" Xia Tingfei looked at the girl in front of him: "For her own good, she doesn't need this kind of thing that will make her more dangerous."

"If you want to learn sign language, go ahead and do it by yourself. Don't just drag others along with you, or something bad may happen to you."

After Xia Tingfei said this, he turned and left, leaving Miyoko Sahara alone.

The girl was annoyed, regretful, and had other unknown emotions.

In the classroom, Nishimiya Ruri has already arrived.

The anticipation for Naoko Ueno's reply made the girl eager to come to school.

Moreover, as she wished, Naoko Ueno had already agreed to her.When she saw Xia Tingfei, she smiled gently at Xia Tingfei.

With tender gratitude.

Naoko Ueno handed Xia Tingfei a note when she returned to her seat.

[Already, we have become friends. 】

So, are you here to urge your friends to pay?
Xia Tingfei casually handed a book to Ueno Naoko, which contained [-] yen.

Students are always weirdly sensitive about money.

If someone saw it, they would probably think they were doing something bad.

Now, the atmosphere in the class is quite good.

Because Nishimiya Ruri withdrew from the chorus competition, her sign language class last night was also blocked by Xia Tingfei.

Because she didn't bother anyone else, naturally others didn't have any bad feelings towards her.

On the contrary, the atmosphere around Miyoko Sahara seemed very bad.

However, her friends kept speaking for her.

But I just said a few weird words like how kind I am.

During class, it was still the same as usual.

Nishimiya Ruri would copy the notes copied by Miyoko Sahara during the last class.

In this way, I can barely keep up with everyone's learning progress.

Just because I am more focused on the chorus competition, I will have a little more music lessons during this period.

There is almost one section every day.

But Xia Tingfei and Xigong Liuli never went.

When students attend music classes, Xia Tingfei will practice Nishimiya Ruri's speaking skills.

But even though Nishimiya Ruri worked super hard, she still had a hard time learning.

The speed of learning is measured in hours.

Xia Tingfei first taught her a few commonly used phrases, such as thank you or hello.

After that, I started learning the fifty tones one by one.

"If your learning speed is just like this, what should you do when learning lip reading?"

Xia Tingfei sat on the bench and looked at Xi Gong Liuli.

He not only wanted Nishimiya Ruri to learn to speak, but also to learn lip reading.

In this way, even if you can't hear, you can still understand what others are saying.

Under these two trainings, Nishimiya Ruri can definitely talk like an ordinary person.

Nishimiya Ruri repeated monotonous syllables loudly.

"I want to have conversations like ordinary people, and I want to live like ordinary people."

"I don't want to be anyone else's trouble."

Such a belief echoed in her heart.

It forced her to practice hard, no matter how hard it was.

The ordinary life that most people hate, is the life that she envies and looks up to.

But she did not feel unlucky, or lament the injustice of God, or scold God for teasing her like this.

She only hates herself because she thinks she will bring misfortune.

This is also the source of all her tragedies.

This is of course wrong.

But Nishimiya Ruri didn’t understand.

Unable to hear what others say and unable to react.

No matter how hard you try, others will eventually stay away from you.

Over time, she took it for granted that everything was her own problem.

That's why she changes schools frequently.

"It must be because I haven't worked hard enough."

She thinks so.

So every time she transferred to another school, she would work harder to get closer to others.

No matter what kind of treatment she suffered, she would always use a gentle smile to defend herself against other people's strange looks.

But the tragedy is that her ending is never a good ending.

"This time, things will definitely change."

Xi Gong Liuli looked at Xia Tingfei in front of him.

The girl believed in Xia Tingfei.

"Because of him, my stubborn and stubborn mother embraced me like that."

"Don't stop, Nishimiya."

Xia Tingfei frowned and spoke so loudly.

Only then did Nishimiya Liuli realize that he stopped chanting.

She opened her lips again and kept practicing.

I take notes during class and come to the rooftop to communicate with them after class.

Moreover, Xia Tingfei would also use Qinghua to help her.

Manipulate her body and use her body to make her remember the correct pronunciation.

After school, Nishimiya Ruri needs to go shopping with Ueno Naoko and the others.

"Naoko, why are you taking her with you?"

one of the girls asked, because they all knew.

Although Nishimiya Ruri can hear a little sound now, if the words are not spoken in her ear or if the words are spoken very fast, she will never be able to hear clearly.

So even though Nishimiya Ruri was right next to them, they spoke without any scruples.

"She can neither speak nor hear, she just looks at us." Naoko Ueno said indifferently: "But if we tell the real reason."

"That means we are real high school girls. Nishimiya is following us just to learn how high school girls do it."

"Wow, what is this? It's so interesting!"

When the friends around her heard that this was the case, they all laughed.

"In this way, wouldn't we become idols?"

"So, Nishimiya is our first fan?"

One girl said this.

Then he covered his mouth and laughed again.

Nishimiya Ruri looked at these girls and didn't quite understand them.

However, she always remembered Xia Tingfei's words - imitate and learn what these girls did.

Instead of hearing the girls' words, she just looked at the expressions on their faces and the emotions in their eyes.

Moreover, she was really good at following Naoko Ueno's advice.

just watch.

Seeing these girls teasing each other, no one was angry.

"But why do I always make people angry?"

Nishimiya Ruri wants to find the answer from these girls.

Perhaps because as an outsider, she was able to see more.

Nishimiya Ruri discovered that every girl who spoke smiled.

But it was definitely not his gentle smile.

But a more positive curious smile.

She also found that when everyone spoke, they would observe the expressions of others.

If there was a person's frown, the girl who was talking would stop.

Then let the other girl speak.

It was as if something was controlling them, making them like the most tacit dancer partners.

They seemed to be on the same page.

He always has something to say that makes everyone smile.

Nishimiya Liuli didn’t understand this question.

So, she watched silently, carefully studying the expressions and smiles of these girls.

In the end, it was Naoko Ueno's friends who felt a little embarrassed.

Because they previously disliked Nishimiya Ruri as a burden and might get in the way.

But in the end, Nishimiya Ruri was safe and sound.

did nothing.

On the contrary, he waited for others and ignored her, looking like he was deliberately being cold and violent.

Everyone was thinking about how to compensate her.

"By the way, let's give him a red rope bracelet." A girl suggested: "Nishimiya's wrist is slender and beautiful. It will definitely look good if she wears a bracelet."

"Okay, okay, this is super interesting!"

As everyone said this, they took Nishimiya Ruri, who was confused, to the jewelry store.
