Hayakawa felt like laughing: "What do I have to regret?"

"It's a pity I didn't leave behind more memories."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng said cheerfully, "Think about it, when you're in your thirties, you suddenly look back and realize that there's nothing worth remembering, it's all just studying, all the content from textbooks. Then your high school life is no different from being ruined."

Hayakawa paused slightly, then turned her head to avoid Azumi Kominami's gaze, and slowly said, "It doesn't matter whether I have these memories or not..."

"Too extreme."

Xiao Meilang rested her chin on her hand, quietly watching the stubborn-looking boy, and reached out to straighten his collar: "Everything needs to be done in moderation. Of course, it's not good to completely waste your youth, but it's also not advisable to spend only three years of boring high school studying."

Hayakawa remained silent, raising his head to gaze at the girl before him. The two stared at each other, one's gaze as stubborn as ice, while the other's eyes were gentle, like sunlight breaking through thick clouds in winter.

"Youth... What is youth?"

Kominami Aizami sat next to Hayakawa and patted him on the shoulder: "Youth is about you and me being together."

"..."

"Playing video games..."

Noticing Hayakawa's expression, Aimi Nami blushed almost imperceptibly and added, "I meant playing games together."

Hayakawa's tense expression immediately relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's winter break now, so I came to visit you. After this winter break, it will be next year, and I'll be preparing for the college entrance exam. I probably won't have as much time to spend with you then. After the exam, I'll be going to university, which will be far away from you."

Kominami Aizami thought for a moment, then smiled slightly at Hayakawa: "Don't you want to create some beautiful memories with me?"

Chapter 550 Leaving behind beautiful memories

Hayakawa fell silent for a moment after hearing Kominami Aizumi's words, and he began to think about his gains and losses.

Are they the beautiful memories that remain?

Hayakawa thought it over carefully. If it were in the past, perhaps he wouldn't have any memories to keep, but now he does seem to have some memories worth keeping.

She recalled her trip to Hokkaido with Furuhashi Ogata, the photos the three of them took at the bubble tea shop, the constant late-night raids during tutoring sessions at Nakano's house, the sharp-tongued remarks from her female classmate sitting next to her every day, and the time that Minami and Umaru spent playing video games...

Without these, my student days would indeed be described as monotonous and boring.

"Um…"

Hayakawa remained silent for a long time before looking at the girl in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright, let's go out then."

"Really? Playing video games?"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng's eyes lit up immediately, and she said excitedly, "Three people can go together."

"Forget about that."

Hayakawa promptly refused, then said expressionlessly, "Let's play something else. That one is too difficult; I can't handle it."

"That works too."

Aimi quickly took Hayakawa's hand and led her outside: "There are many games to choose from, let's wake up Umaru and play together."

"Ah."

Hayakawa nodded and followed her out of the bedroom.

In fact, he still couldn't fully understand what Xiaomei Lang was saying. What youth should be like was still a mystery to him, and it would probably take him three years of high school to solve it.

But at least for now, since Ayame Kominami actually wants him to play games with her, Hayakawa is willing to sacrifice some of his time to be with her.

……

The second day of the holiday arrived quickly, but for some people, today was only the first day of the holiday. In their view, as long as they went to school, even if it was just to pick up their grades, it still counted as going to school, and then the whole day would become unpleasant.

For Hayakawa, if he doesn't complete a full day, even if it's just missing one class, he feels like something is missing.

"Courier services are really great."

Hayakawa came out of the courier station, looked at the small package in his hand, and looked very satisfied.

The era of big logistics is truly wonderful. No matter where the practice questions are, you can buy them within a few days. All you need to do is go out to pick up the package, and you can enjoy several days of happiness.

It was ten o'clock in the morning, and the sunlight shone down from above, making the surrounding snow bright and dazzling. Light and cold intertwined in this season.

Hayakawa looked around and then decided to go home.

The cram school he enrolled in started in three days, so these few days were a rare time when he had nothing to do. Of course, Hayakawa couldn't stand being idle, so he rushed to get the latest version of the college entrance exam practice questions overnight, ready to study them carefully.

After all, I worked hard playing games all day last night, so it shouldn't be a problem to relax and do some practice questions today.

"Humph"

Hayakawa weighed the heavy package in his hand, his anticipation almost overflowing, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

However, the next moment, his expression froze.

Because someone was tugging at his clothes from behind.

That familiar force... and that subtle height, and the scent detected by his keen sense of smell—Hayakawa knew who it was without even turning around.

Hayakawa silently turned his head and, as expected, saw Ms. Ogata, a science-minded girl, wearing an udon noodle shop uniform and carrying several large packages.

"Hayakawa."

A cute girl with glasses, orange hair, and a height of only about 1.5 meters looked at him with surprise: "I see you."

"..."

“Ogata…I’m so glad to see you,”

Hayakawa still harbored a sliver of hope, and his lips twitched slightly as he forced a fake smile: "But do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll be going now."

"Nothing... it was just a regular delivery of udon noodles."

Upon hearing this, Rizu Ogata looked puzzled and asked seriously, "Hayakawa, is something urgent? Do you need my help?"

"..."

Hayakawa said expressionlessly, "No (two) slippery ball-shaped pull w use..."

Then his gaze fell on the science-loving girl in front of him. She was carrying several large packages and looked very tired. Looking into the distance, the ground, which had just snowed a few days ago, was now covered with a thin layer of ice. If you were not careful, you would fall on it.

Upon witnessing this scene, Hayakawa couldn't help but entertain strange fantasies.

Fantasy Time:

A little girl selling udon noodles walks on the ice, carrying a heavy burden, begging from the people nearby.

"Sir, please have a serving of udon. It'll only cost 300 yen."

"Girl, how about a bowl of udon for only 300 yen..."

"gentlemen…"

"Get out of the way! You're in my way!"

The man in the suit with a fierce expression forcefully pushed the little girl aside, spilling udon all over the ground. The little girl hurriedly tried to squat down to pick it up, but slipped and fell heavily because of the slippery snow, twisting her ankle.

As a result, the little girl with the injured foot also encountered problems during the subsequent udon delivery process.

"This udon is all cold! How can we eat it?!"

The customer, furious at being served cold noodles, threw the bag at the little girl, yelling, "I'm going to complain and get the noodle shop fired!"

"No……"

The little girl, who ultimately couldn't earn any money, ate her last bowl of cold udon noodles and died deep in a winter alley in the city.

The fantasy is over.

……

"..."

Hayakawa took a deep breath and silently looked up at the sky.

My precious time spent practicing coding problems is coming to an end now.

"What's wrong, Hayakawa?"

Rizu Ogata had no idea what she was thinking or what kind of inner turmoil he was going through, and looked at him with some confusion.

"nothing."

Hayakawa looked helpless: "I'm pretty free right now, I'll help you deliver the udon."

Ogata Rizu's expression immediately brightened. Although she didn't know why Hayakawa suddenly wanted to help her, she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, let's deliver it together."

"Hmm, the strange sphere device is a bit of a hassle..."

Hayakawa was disappointed, but still responded.

There was no other way. Ogata Rizu was so small, yet she had to deliver so many takeout orders. It must have been very tiring for her. Carrying such large packages slowly would make her late and the customers would scold her. If she fell in the snow, it would be even more troublesome. I had no choice but to help her.

however…

"Let's get on this electric scooter."

Rizu Ogata smiled and pointed to a nice bicycle not far away: "Let's ride this together, it'll be fast."

"..."

"Is this yours?"

Hayakawa pointed at the bicycle in front of him and questioned the girl next to him.

"Yes."

Rizu Ogata nodded: "It's specially made for delivering udon."

Chapter 551 Eating Udon Noodles Together

When did you get your electric scooter?

Hayakawa's eyes were lifeless, and he couldn't help but say, "How come I didn't know?"

"It's been there since the beginning of winter."

Rizu Ogata said matter-of-factly, "My father bought it for me. He said he was worried that it would be too tiring for me to carry udon noodles when delivering food, and that it would be too cold when I went out, so he didn't want me to deliver anymore. I thought it was fine, so he bought me an electric scooter and insisted that I ride it when I go out."

"Look, the tires even have anti-slip treatment."

Rizu Ogata bent down and pointed to the tread pattern on the electric scooter's tires, smiling as she said, "This makes it much safer."

Hayakawa's lips twitched slightly: "Your father treats you quite well, doesn't he?"

"He's alright, he's always been quite caring towards me."

Rizu Ogata raised her small face: "I don't think it's a problem if we don't ride a bike, but having an electric bike really saves a lot of trouble and makes delivering food much faster."

"……Oh."

……

Although Hayakawa really wanted to go home, she had already agreed to deliver the food together, so there was no way she could change her mind at the last minute. Hayakawa could only grit her teeth and get on the electric scooter. Ogata Rizu skillfully put the takeout bag into the basket in front of the scooter, sat on the back seat, and then hugged Hayakawa's waist.

"We can set off now."

Rizu Ogata said, "I'm all seated now."

Hayakawa didn't hesitate and immediately grabbed the handlebars and started driving.

However, not long after they started driving, Rizu Ogata suddenly spoke up.

"Hayakawa, you don't need to drive so fast,"

Seeing Hayakawa's tense body, Ogata Rizu couldn't help but say, "Relax, don't be nervous."

Who would be nervous about riding an electric bike? The real reason is that you're holding on too tightly, and there's a huge pressure coming from your back, forcing Hayakawa to go faster so that the ride can end sooner.

Hayakawa felt the two soft yet incredibly resilient spheres on his back and couldn't help but lean forward. At that moment, he couldn't help but feel grateful that Ogata Riju was sitting on the chair behind him. If she were standing in front of the electric scooter now, he would probably be thrown off.

"I'm not nervous."

Hayakawa managed to calm himself down, but he couldn't suppress his body's instincts. He could only say, trying to cover it up, "I'm just worried that the udon noodles will get cold if it takes too long, and then the customers will be unhappy."

"The udon noodles won't get cold."

Ogata Rizu replied matter-of-factly.

Hayakawa was taken aback: "Why?"

"Because our store uses the latest insulated bags, they won't get cold as long as they're not delivered too slowly."
