Chapter 573
And Kaga Reisa and Ando Chizuru, who were sitting beside Natsume Ruri, both thought that Natsume Chikage was greeting them while greeting Ruri-chan.
The two girls were immediately a bit shy, and also blushed, timidly raising their hands and waving.
Even other students in that area, a few of them mistakenly thought that the handsome senior was waving at them, and in surprise and joy, they couldn't help but wave their arms in that direction.
Among them, there was the young female homeroom teacher of Natsume Ruri's class.
The female homeroom teacher saw the direction Natsume Chikage was waving, and her heart jumped.
She immediately waved vigorously toward Natsume Chikage, and at the same time excitedly grabbed the arm of another female teacher beside her, lowering her voice but speaking at a fast speed:
"Look! I know that boy, he is the brother of Natsume Ruri in our class!"
"He just looked this way, I'm sure he was looking at me…"
"Next, I have a feeling that he might try to find a way to contact me through the relationship that I am Ruri's homeroom teacher."
"That's right, after all, I am good-looking and mature, high school students nowadays just like a female teacher with charm like me, maybe they want to develop a romantic, slightly forbidden love affair."
"Sigh, no way, I who am too charming am just so popular."
The female teacher whose arm was grabbed by her rolled her eyes silently and pulled back her hand.
"Shameless, what a rich imagination."
"How do I look at it, he seems to be looking at me, not you."
The slight commotion caused by Natsume Chikage naturally also attracted the attention of Tsukishima Rin beside him.
She understood Natsume Chikage and knew he wouldn't do meaningless actions.
Since he waved in that direction… it must be because his sister was there, right?
Tsukishima Rin understood in her heart, and also followed by casting her gaze toward the general area where Natsume Ruri was.
Her gaze swept carefully across face after face of young faces, and soon locked onto the girl who was sitting obediently.
Finding that Natsume Ruri was also looking in her direction, Tsukishima Rin's face instantly bloomed with a smile that was even more gentle, intellectual, and decent than before.
She also elegantly raised her hand and waved gently in Natsume Ruri's direction.
After all, it was the first time to officially meet "Sister-chan," no matter what, she had to leave a perfect good impression.
Natsume Ruri noticed that Tsukishima Rin not only walked with brother, but also took the initiative to wave at her at this moment, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Then, she also politely and slightly reservedly waved again as a response.
But she couldn't help but mutter in her heart:
This Tsukishima-sister, not only walks side by side with brother, but also takes the initiative to show favor to me…
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like she has given up on brother.
And, this action looks like she wants to "capture" me to curve "capture" brother.
Really is a… girl who cannot be underestimated and has strategies.
Thinking of this.
Natsume Ruri silently recorded a stroke in that invisible small notebook in her heart.
【Tsukishima Rin】: Has some little schemes, -1 point!
Natsume Chikage had just sat firmly in the soft seat.
His phone transmitted a slight vibration in his trouser pocket, accompanied by a crisp and short message notification sound.
He took out his phone and looked at it.
It was a message from his sister Ruri.
【Natsume Ruri: Brother, why did you suddenly come? Isn't this only for the Orchestra Club?】
【Natsume Chikage: There is a senior I know in the Orchestra Club. After knowing from her that they were coming to your school to perform this time, I thought about coming to the school to see what you are usually like at school.
She let me be a logistics staff member, and then I could come.】
【Natsume Ruri: ヽ(//>/Д/
【Natsume Chikage: Not telling you in advance is a surprise. But I didn't expect to be discovered by you so quickly. I originally thought about secretly appearing behind you.】
【Natsume Ruri: ヽ(//>/Д/
【Natsume Chikage: Don't you have classes after the performance?】
【Natsume Ruri: (○` 3′○) Should be no, brother what do you want to do?】
【Natsume Chikage: Want Ruri to take me around.】
【Natsume Ruri: (●ˇωˇ●) Since brother said so, okay.】
Ending the conversation with his sister, Natsume Chikage pressed the phone screen off and put it back in his pocket.
Tsukishima Rin turned her face, her voice soft, asking with just the right curiosity:
"Xia Xia Xia Mujun, were you chatting with your sister just now?"
Natsume Chikage turned his face, nodded at her, his smile still gentle.
"Yes."
Tsukishima Rin blinked those beautiful, intellectual-feeling eyes, her eyelashes casting shallow shadows under her eyes.
She asked further curiously:
"What did she say?"
Natsume Chikage smiled, his tone carrying a hint of doting on his sister.
"Said she didn't expect me to come, and was scared by me."
"But she is still willing to take me around the school later."
Tsukishima Rin heard this, her eyes brightened slightly.
She bit her lower lip gently, as if weighing her words, and then asked cautiously with a hint of expectation:
"I… I am also curious about what this school is like, if your sister helps introduce it, it should be good… can I go with you guys later?"
Natsume Chikage nodded and smiled:
"Of course you can."
The moment she got the affirmative answer, Tsukishima Rin felt her heartbeat skip a beat.
She immediately curved her eyes, a truly happy, heartfelt smile bloomed on her lips, and she nodded vigorously.
"Mm!"
And Kondo Miki, who was sitting not far from them, took this scene into her eyes.
She pursed her lips tightly, her hands originally on her knees tightened slightly, her fingertips digging into her palms, revealing a hint of imperceptible displeasure.
Soon.
The high school orchestra performances unfolded one after another on the gorgeous stage of the large theater.
Melodious or impassioned music echoed in the spacious theater.
The emotions of the audience offstage also fluctuated slightly with the ups and downs of the music.
Tsukishima Rin tilted her head slightly, looking at Natsume Chikage beside her who was listening to the performance seriously.
She was worried that he would find this kind of classical music boring, so she couldn't help but lower her voice and ask softly:
"Xia Xia Xia Mujun, how do you feel?"
Natsume Chikage heard this, turned his head, smiled at her, and shook his head frankly.
"Although I don't understand it, it feels quite good to listen to."
Tsukishima Rin felt much more at ease, and a soft, shallow smile rippled on her lips.
"That's good."
The performance proceeded in an orderly manner.
Finally, it was the turn of the Sakuragaoka Academy Orchestra to go on stage.
Polite applause sounded offstage.
And in the team of Sakuragaoka Academy, the one serving as the concertmaster of the violin was Izumi Nanami.
Her appearance was indeed inferior to a school beauty of Tsukishima Rin's level.
But her clear and fair face, plus her focused and serious expression at this moment, could also be called a "class beauty" level beautiful girl with good temperament.
Together with the club members, she carefully took her instrument from the teacher backstage, and then walked gracefully onto the stage where the lights gathered.
As early as when waiting in her seat before, she had spotted Natsume Chikage's figure in the crowd at a glance.
Just through photos, and knowing that this was the brother of the girl her silly brother had a crush on, she was already moved.
Even feeling that with the classmate relationship of her brother, her chance of success increased greatly.
