Inoshira said this as he slowed down his pace a little, opened one of the shopping bags with both hands, and looked inside under the light from above his head. He saw that there was a very thick sweater stuffed inside.
The other bags contained similar items, including windproof coats, warm hats, thick cotton socks, warm gloves, and even hot packs. These were all preparations they had made for the upcoming school trip.
"It should be... enough, right?" Wang Meiyu was also a little hesitant.
Although they had never been to Hokkaido in their lives, after confirming that the destination of the school trip was Hokkaido, they also did some research on local matters and learned that the temperature difference between Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost place and Tokyo can be about 20 degrees.
For example, in late autumn, the temperature in Tokyo can still be over 10 degrees Celsius, but in Hokkaido it is already below zero.
By the time of the school trip, the temperature in Tokyo had probably dropped to only a few degrees, while in Hokkaido it was around minus ten or twenty degrees.
Just hearing this temperature makes people want to wrap themselves up into a ball.
"Kikyo, do you have anything else to buy?"
Inokashira Shin habitually turned his head and asked to the other side.
But as soon as she turned her head, she saw nothing. The girl with short brown hair who was supposed to be walking side by side with them had stopped at some point and was less than two meters behind them. She was looking down at her mobile phone, silently operating something.
Seeing their friend falling behind, they immediately stopped and turned around.
"What's wrong, Kikyo?" Inokashira asked curiously.
"Um……"
However, Kushida Kikyo didn't have enough energy to answer her. She just nodded perfunctorily, her eyes focused on the screen. She held the phone and started operating it without blinking, as if she was looking up something.
On the other side, Wang Meiyu seemed to notice something when she saw this scene. She was stunned for a moment and then a bright light bulb popped up on her head.
"I see. I'll take a look at the school trip grouping sent out by the school."
"Oh, I think so..."
Inokashira nodded belatedly.
Yes, Mr. Chabashira did say in the classroom earlier that the grouping details would be automatically sent to each second-year student's mobile phone after five o'clock, and now it's about time.
And what Kushida Kikyo is doing now is the same as what Karuizawa Megumi did in the dormitory.
Download, open, and search for keywords.
The person in the same group with Wu Yi in Class A is... Horikita Suzune?
Kushida Kikyo was stunned. Rather than feeling lost and regretful, she felt more confused.
Is there such a person in your class?
Oh, it seems like there really is one, and it seems like he is in the student union like her.
Never mind. None of this matters now.
But as expected, we were not assigned to the same group.
"Ah……"
She exhaled a breath of moist air with body temperature, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
She then looked down and saw that there were not many people in the same group as Wu Yi. In addition to Horikita Suzune who was also in Class A, there were Kito Hayabusa and Yamamura Miki in Class B.
Kikyo Kushida didn't have a deep impression of these two people. It was hard to say that she knew them. At best, she knew their names and recognized their faces.
And there’s also…Ichinose Honami from Class C?
Wait, Ichinose Honami! ? ?
In an instant, the girl's eyes widened rapidly.
At the same time, Wang Meiyu and Inokashira Shin have already confirmed their respective groups and other members of their groups.
Among them, Wang Meiyu was more cautious. She specifically searched for the group that Kikyo Kushida was in to confirm it, so she knew that the latter was not in the same group with Wu Yi.
But just as she was about to start the conversation and suggest going back to the dormitory, Inogashira Shin, who had put away his phone first because he had only checked his own group, spoke up.
As expected, it was a disco in a minefield.
"How about Kikyo? We're grouped together with Wu Yi... oops!"
Before she could finish her words, Wang Meiyu hit her on the forehead.
The girl covered her head and turned back pitifully: "What are you doing, Xiaoyu? Why did you hit me suddenly?"
However, what he got in return was his friend's angry look, which roughly translated to - how dare you ask such a question?
Wang Meiyu, who is always gentle and timid in class, becomes so strong only when facing her best friend who is doing something stupid.
"Unfortunately, no."
Instead of blaming her friend for her low emotional intelligence, Kushida Kikyo sighed softly and shook her head.
If someone else had asked such a question, she would have probably cursed in her heart, but Inogashira...she was just innocent and cute.
"Oh, that's it. Sorry, I shouldn't have asked."
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Inokashira Shin immediately apologized, and at the same time, he belatedly glanced at Wang Meiyu on the other side.
Then he was glared at again.
Uh...
"It's okay. I don't care."
Showing a smile that seemed to be able to heal people's hearts, Kushida Kikyo lowered her head to look at the mobile phone screen again. After thinking for a while, she opened a clean chat box, typed a few words with her fingertips flying, and pressed the send button.
"Well, if you don't get it, then you don't get it. It's just a school trip. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities to travel together in the future. Anyway, let's find a place to have dinner first."
"Uh-huh!"
On the other side, in the second-year dormitory building, in one of the rooms on the girls' dormitory floor.
The desk lamp was on, and the bright warm light, reflected by the lampshade, shone at a specific angle onto every corner of the desk.
Ichinose Hoba was sitting at her desk with her textbook open on the table. Next to her was the soft-cover notebook she used to take notes in class. Her beautiful and neat handwriting laid out the notes in clear and organized paragraphs.
This is a little personal learning trick she has been sticking to since elementary school, which is to write down what she has learned in class every day in the form of notes, and then review it after returning to the dormitory after school, so as to achieve the effect of consolidation and deepening.
However, what Ichinose Honami was holding in her hand at the moment was not an opened pen, but a mobile phone with a lit screen, which displayed the group schedule for the school trip.
She and Wu Yi are in the same group.
"hehe……"
He gently pressed his hand on his chest. Even Ichinose Hoba himself couldn't explain what was going on. In the past, even if he had a fever and felt uncomfortable, he could calm down and study seriously.
But now she can't do it.
She didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She hadn't caught a cold nor had an upset stomach. She could be said to be in the healthiest condition. However, the girl couldn't calm down.
The huge joy grew with the beating of her heart, and a wonderful feeling flowed from her chest to every part of her body, almost making her sleepless tonight.
Then, during this school trip, maybe she can...
Volume 482: Chapter Horikita Suzune: Okay, I'll try to find a date
The perspective changed. After spending half an afternoon shopping and then having a delicious meal in the shopping mall, Kikyo Kushida and her girlfriends naturally returned to the dormitory building.
Although it was only seven o'clock, it was not very convenient to do anything else with so many bags in my hands. In addition, the season had turned into late autumn. Even though the temperature was still pleasant during the day, it was still quite cold at night.
Instead of carrying a lot of heavy and tiring things around, and then returning to the dormitory late in the cold wind, it is better to go back early, take a shower, watch some TV series, and then go to bed early and get up early to keep healthy.
"See you tomorrow then. Good night."
Kikyo Kushida used her room card to open the door of the dormitory room, then smiled and waved goodbye to her two friends.
"Yeah, good night~"
The style of the painting is similar to the cute animation produced by Houbunsha. Wang Meiyu and Inogashira Shinya waved and said good night to each other.
Because they were all classmates and all girls, the three of them actually lived on the same floor, and even their rooms were not far apart.
Soon, with the sound of three doors closing, the corridor, which had been rippling due to the arrival of the three girls as if a stone was thrown into a mirror lake, returned to calm again.
One minute passed...
Two minutes passed...
Three minutes passed...
The tranquility in the corridor was broken again only when the minute hand of the quartz clock hanging between the two elevator doors on the wall of the elevator lobby at the end of the corridor moved fifteen degrees.
One of the three doors that had just been closed slowly opened with an extremely slight sound, and Kikyo Kushida, who was wrapped tightly all over her body, poked her head out from inside. She looked around cautiously, and after confirming that there was no one else in the corridor, she walked out of the room with light footsteps.
Of course, to say that I was wrapped tightly was actually just to wear a little more thickly, with a scarf for warmth and the hood of my coat pulled up.
Instead of being like those celebrities in the entertainment industry, wearing sunglasses and masks, and wrapping their entire bodies with bandages and writing the five big words "I am a big star" on them.
The way she looks now, she wouldn't feel awkward even if she ran into acquaintances on the street. It looks like she's just going out at night, but because it's cold outside she wants to wear more clothes. What's wrong with that?
Taking out her cell phone to confirm the time again, Kikyo Kushida quickened her pace and left for the elevator lobby. She took the elevator all the way down to the first floor, and then went straight out of the dormitory building.
After all, she was the one who took the initiative to make the appointment this time.
Fifteen minutes later, as the shopping mall's barrier-free elevator stopped on the third floor with a ding-dong sound, the security doors slowly opened to both sides, and Kikyo Kushida walked out along with the crowd.
Since tomorrow is the weekend, the usual curfew of sealing the dormitories at 10 o'clock has been extended to 12 o'clock, so even at this time there are still many students in the shopping mall, including teachers and other school staff.
Since entering the shopping mall, Kikyo Kushida no longer wore a hat and pulled her scarf down a little, revealing her cute face which was already quite good.
We followed the shortest route to the designated location, where someone was already waiting.
She had short black hair with an inexplicably cute pigtail on the side of her face, she insisted on wearing her school uniform even though it was already Friday and school was over, and her calm face made people feel that she was memorizing a few more words in the English dictionary even when she was waiting or looking at her phone.
"Well, good evening, Horikita-san." Kushida Kikyo walked over and greeted her.
"...Good evening, Kushida-san."
Horikita Suzune put down her phone and greeted calmly.
"I sent you a message on your phone asking you what was going on, but you didn't reply."
"Eh? Really?"
As if she had just learned about this, Kushida Kikyo's face revealed a look of panic and apology, and she hurriedly took out her cell phone from the inside pocket of her shirt to check it.
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't notice it at all, but there are some things I think it's better to say it in person..."
If she said she didn’t see it, then of course she really “didn’t see it.”
At least from the chat box of Horikita Suzune, the messages she sent should still be unread.
But in fact, Kikyo Kushida simply turned on the message preview option in the notification bar and had already read all the messages, but simply did not reply.
"It doesn't matter. I'm already here anyway, so we can talk about whatever's going on face to face now, right?" Horikita Suzune said that she didn't care.
"Yeah, no problem." Kushida Kikyo nodded quickly and agreed, "Oh, by the way, I know there's a pretty good coffee shop nearby, why don't we..."
"no need."
Before she could finish her words, Horikita Suzune interrupted her.
"If you have anything to say, just say it here. After all, if it's something that needs to be kept absolutely confidential, you wouldn't choose to discuss it with me in a place like this, and we're not that close."
tsk...
Although she maintained a gentle and pleasant smile on the surface, Kushida Kikyo was already smacking her lips in dissatisfaction in her heart.
Although what she said was all true, why did her tone make me so angry? If I didn’t still need her help... humph!
"Well, if Horikita-san thinks this is okay, then I'll just say it here."
After taking a deep breath and calming herself down, Kushida Kikyo made her request.
"Actually, it's about the upcoming school trip. I wasn't able to be in the same group with Wu Yi, but I saw that you, Horikita-san, seemed to be in the same group with him, so I was wondering if I could ask Horikita-san to send me your group's daily schedule during the school trip."
Oh?
Horikita Suzune was slightly stunned.
To be honest, since she didn't get to go to Kyoto as she wanted, she completely lost interest in this school trip from the moment Chabashira Sae announced that the destination was Hokkaido, and she didn't really listen to the various details that followed.
As for the fact that she was assigned to the same group as Wu Yi, she only just found out about it.
"I'll send you the itinerary..." Horikita Suzune frowned slightly, "It's not a big deal, but since you're his girlfriend, can't you just ask him about this?"
Besides, even if she did, what would that matter? Even if she was so friendly that she could become the core of the group, it was impossible for her to drag several other people who were not in her class to run around with other people's groups just to be with her boyfriend, right?
"Well, it's not that simple. How should I put it? If I ask Wu Yi in person, it may affect your group's schedule. If it's not handled properly, it may cause conflicts."
Kushida Kikyo continued to explain.
