But this does not prevent Megumi Karuizawa from getting the almost adoring look of the girl in an instant. Perhaps in her eyes at this moment, Megumi Karuizawa is a genuine young lady, as if she has inexhaustible resources every day. An endless supply of expensive cosmetics was placed in front of her dressing table. The girl used them one by one like a princess, showing her swan-like slender neck and confident smile in front of the mirror.

"Karuizawa-san, do you think the school uniforms are too old-fashioned?"

One day not long after school started, during a casual chat between classes, Emi Eura seemed to have thought of this topic accidentally:

"I used to think that the black and white uniforms of elementary schools were not good-looking, but compared with the one I am wearing now, they are simply an excellent design."

As if to increase her persuasion, she pointed to the old-fashioned blue ribbon on her chest:

"We are not children anymore, and in the end we don't even have the right to match our own clothes."

Karuizawa Megumi once heard Kitagawa Ryo talk about three contradictions that everyone will face in life. One of them is the uniqueness of a person as an individual and the social nature of having to commit to a group. Perhaps for this group of people who have just entered youth, For girls in their blooming years, it is indeed a bit difficult to accept that their beautiful side is bound to a uniform uniform for all members.

So, following Emi Eura's topic, most of the girls denounced things like the imperfect design of the uniforms, the impersonal considerations of the school, and the fact that they don't look distinctive and look good when worn. After a round of conversation, , in theory, it was for Karuizawa Megumi to make the final conclusion and draw a conclusion to the topic just now, so she naturally chimed in:

"That is to say... I also think that there may be some people who don't want to wear this kind of thing, but in fact, sometimes uniforms are good? But it's definitely true that everyone wants to look nice, right?"

After saying this summary that she didn't even know what she was talking about, Karuizawa Megumi planned to bring up the next topic. After all, girls basically spend their time chatting and bumping into each other. , the recess and lunch break time passed by like water.

When everyone went out for the first time, Karuizawa Megumi once again fell into crazy anxiety. She turned her wardrobe upside down and filled it with all kinds of shirts, skirts, sweatpants and even underwear. Although her family is not rich, it can still provide her daughter with clothes for all seasons. In addition, Kitagawa Ryo also bought a few pieces for her in the beginning, so the inventory is quite rich. .

Dressing and makeup, Karuizawa Megumi thought about these two issues for the first time in her life. She never had to worry about these in the past. No matter what she wore when going out, Kitagawa Ryo would not care about her clothes. No matter how many comments you make, Ryo is just like his name, always a little aloof. At first, Karuizawa Megumi would ask a few questions with concern, and the other party would politely reply that it suits her very well, so over time she I don't care much about this anymore.

A white shirt with blue trousers, blue sleeveless with black jeans. Karuizawa Megumi hesitated between the two outfits. At school, everyone wore the same uniform, but if it was an off-campus party in regular clothes, Karuizawa Hui suddenly remembered everyone's discussion in the past half month, and hurriedly dug out from the deepest part of the wardrobe a whole light blue dress that Kitagawa Ryo had given her before he left.

This dress that Ryo Kitagawa gave to Megumi Karuizawa as a birthday gift was only worn once on her birthday. Apart from her parents, only Ryo Kitagawa had seen this dress. Megumi Karuizawa touched the collar of the dress. She sighed, probably influenced by the heroine who had read in a story before that she only wore one piece of clothing for the hero. She originally planned to stop wearing it after Liang left. I washed it and folded it and put it there. When the cold comes back one day, if I can still wear it, I will wear this to greet him at the airport.

Then in the airport, she held the skirt, which was embellished with various exquisite patterns and lace, and waved to Kitagawa Ryo, and finally told him with a proud face:

"This is the second time I wear this dress."

"The first time was for you, and the second time was also because of you."

It's a pity that the story progressed too fast. Although Karuizawa Megumi didn't know any brand of material, she could clearly feel that the texture and comfort of this dress were countless times better than her own clothes. In other words , these are the only pieces of clothing that can match the image of "Karuizawa Megumi" she has sketched and constructed.

After putting on the dress, Karuizawa Megumi admired her appearance in front of the mirror. She bit her lip, lifted the hem of the dress slightly and bowed, imitating etiquette with her feet. It was as if she had become a real princess at this moment. Just waiting for the prince to hand her the left hand wearing a white glove at the ball.

She deliberately woke up twenty minutes early the next morning. Karuizawa Megumi opened her mother's cosmetics store and carefully identified them. She took out a lipstick with some anxiety. Karuizawa Megumi still couldn't tell what color it was. No., in her eyes, this is just a touch of bright red, the red that attracts other people's attention, and it is essentially the same as the red patch on Bai He's head.

Karuizawa Megumi squinted in front of the mirror and put on makeup for the first time in her life. Perhaps she was too nervous. She didn't sleep well last night. She just woke up in the morning and found that her face was a little pale when she washed her face and looked in the mirror. , but she dyed the lipstick on her lips without caring, and the thin red makeup fell on her fair face, like red plums in the snow, but it also unnaturally revealed an aura that did not belong to her age, like In order to cover up this immaturity, Karuizawa Megumi pursed her lips and lightly applied a layer of foundation on her cheeks.

Naturally, her eyebrows and eye shadow could not fall down. Karuizawa Megumi blinked her blue eyes. Her eyelashes were very long and fluttered like butterflies spreading their wings. She drew her eyebrows carefully. In the past half month , she has been working hard to secretly learn this technique, so the final effect is quite successful.

At the end, Karuizawa Megumi combed her long honey-colored hair, almost patiently combing each hair strand one by one, until the bangs in front of her forehead showed the most perfect fluffy feeling. After everything was complete, , Karuizawa Megumi stretched out her hand in front of the mirror and cheered herself up.

----------------------------------------

Karuizawa Megumi's lies are actually easy to expose. Emi Eura noticed the unnaturalness of this girl during many classes. Different from the Karuizawa Megumi she sketched herself, in Eura Emi's eyes, Qinguizawa Megumi Megumi Izawa looks like a panic-stricken person who is desperately trying to build a wall around herself with all kinds of things, as if a huge disaster will happen in the next second. During this period of time, she even It was with an interesting attitude that I observed the so-called "core" of girls in this class.

But the one who always made her unsure was Kitagawa Ryo. As a student in the same elementary school as Karuizawa Megumi, she had naturally heard about Kitagawa Ryo and Karuizawa Megumi back then, and even met her by chance in school. After meeting each other several times, this boy who stood out among all the little boys left a deep impression on her at the time. This is the only reason why she has not completely shattered Karuizawa Megumi's illusion until now. one.

After all, when Karuizawa Megumi talks about the other party, he always looks vague but clearly confident.

Emi Emi didn't want to be the boy who was rolled on the ground begging for mercy by the students on the playground.

"Hello, Hui came very early."

When she came back to her senses, the girls next to her had already cheered and came forward. Emi Eura temporarily put away her thoughts and silently followed her footsteps.

----------------------------------------

"Where, didn't Xiao Xi come earlier than me?"

Karuizawa Megumi wore the same natural smile as usual. Just like in school, her position suddenly became the focus of all the girls' attention. Especially today, the dreamy light blue dress even covered the After bright lipstick, she has entered everyone's field of vision even more powerfully.

"Wow... Hui's dress is so pretty."

"Really, if you stand here under the sun, it will naturally glow."

"The workmanship of this skirt is so fine, it looks like it was sewn by hand."

Seven or eight girls immediately gathered around Karuizawa Megumi, praising her as if they were asking for money.

A girl pouted with a bit of envy and jealousy:

"No wonder Megumi said that the uniforms were good at school. It turned out to be because when everyone was wearing uniforms, you couldn't tell anything. Once you put on these regular clothes, you can't take your eyes away."

Another girl also echoed:

"She's just like a princess, so pretty."

Karuizawa Megumi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she quickly thanked the compliments one by one:

"Actually, everyone is pretty. Isn't Xiao Xi's dress also very pretty?"

Successfully drawing everyone's attention back to Xiao Xi's skirt that was a little too short, Karuizawa Megumi quickly straightened her hair that was a little messed up by the wind.

"Wow, I didn't even notice that Xiao Xi's skirt is too short."

Emi Eura looked at the jet black short skirt, which was two centimeters short of her knees, and walked forward with a smile:

"Are you wearing any safety pants underneath?"

In the past half month, she has mainly created a character for herself that favors strength but is a bit boyish. Therefore, such a move did not arouse any objection. Xiao Xi also pushed her shoulder in a feigned disgust:

"Definitely."

Then she seemed to announce something, and it seemed as if she really said it unintentionally:

"The main reason is that Tomoda-kun likes me wearing this one."

The topic of love is always a popular topic among girls. Someone quickly asked:

"Is Xiao Xi really with Tomoda-kun?"

"Humph, I confessed my love first, so I succeeded by just calling him out."

Xiao Xi made a V-sign with her hands and said quietly:

"Actually, after we started dating, I realized that although some boys may seem cold, if they wear a shorter skirt when holding hands, their faces will immediately turn red, so dressing up is very important."

"But if you wear it like this, your legs will freeze and you will suffer. Although it is already spring, the temperature may drop sharply sometimes."

A girl next to me said worriedly.

"It's okay. If it gets really cold, just treat it as the 'price of beauty'."

After Xiao Xi finished speaking, she turned her attention to Karuizawa Megumi:

"Megumi is dressed very cute today. If Kitagawa-kun were here, he would never take his eyes off you for a moment."

Seeing that the topic came back here, Karuizawa Megumi could only answer:

"Well, this dress was originally a birthday gift from Ryo. It's normal that it looks good."

"Wow, I'm blinded by Hui and Kitagawa-kun's romance again."

The girls on the side also covered their eyes and joked, and the group walked towards the destination shopping mall.

It happened that a cold wind blew suddenly on the road. The spring at the end of April does occasionally bring such a chill. Xiao Xi sneezed suddenly, and everyone laughed together and said that this was the "price of beauty."

Karuizawa Megumi was walking in the center of the crowd, and suddenly remembered what Ryo Kitagawa said when she gave her this dress on her birthday on March 8th:

"I asked the master to thicken and lengthen this piece, and it was specially designed to cover my knees."

"Spring can also be cold, so don't catch a cold alone."

Megumi Karuizawa's Autumn Lies: Chapter 4: Plot Pilot: An Old Friend Returns (Part 2)

Karuizawa Megumi noticed that every detail, every word, and every action of herself was being watched by others. Whether she was among boys or among girls, she worked hard to create a kind of innate love for herself. She has a noble and protective look, but she may not be born with the so-called "queen" temperament. She also tries her best to maintain a style of not offending each other in dealing with others in the school's daily life.

"I feel like Hui is too careful with those people. It's not necessary at all. As long as you give them a little good looks like boys, they will stick to you like a dog-skin plaster that can't be shaken off."

A girl once made this suggestion to Megumi Karuizawa.

The reason is that a month after the start of school, many boys finally mustered up the courage to forget about Karuizawa Megumi's "boyfriend". Yes, amid increasingly outrageous rumors, Kitagawa Ryo's His status has been upgraded from "childhood" to "boyfriend", and judging from this status, it is estimated that after a while, it will become a "engaged fiancé" or something like that.

These slightly bold boys began to approach Karuizawa Megumi, not necessarily because they wanted to pursue her, but because they wanted to show off in front of girls. The students who had just entered junior high school were not that concerned. Many thoughts, since Karuizawa Megumi is the core of the girls in the class, then performing in front of Karuizawa Megumi is equivalent to standing out in front of the whole class of girls. With this simple and crude concept, the boys started to act.

At first, Karuizawa Megumi would be talked to frequently by them, whether it was daily life or class notes. Karuizawa Megumi was also a little tired to deal with these. She really couldn't understand that there were still people in the class who wanted to ask her study questions. She If he really had this ability to teach others, his grades wouldn't be still dangling at the mid-range level.

"Ah...it's true, I'm a little annoyed."

Karuizawa Megumi leaned on the desk and complained slightly.

"That is to say, Megumi should be more indifferent. Besides, compared with Kitagawa-kun, none of them can compare to him."

"It seems so."

Karuizawa Megumi was fiddling with her nails boredly, tapping her slender white fingers on the table:

"Well...just do it."

At this time, Karuizawa Megumi realized that the protective color of "Kitagawa Ryo" she had built for herself had indeed helped her erect a wall outside her heart, but it also hindered normal interpersonal communication. The way she described herself and The relationship with "Kitagawa Ryo" has destined that Karuizawa Megumi is not qualified to accept kindness from boys, which is tantamount to denying everything he said.

Since you have such a close relationship with "Kitagawa-kun" and he is even preparing to transfer back from abroad for you, how can you show close relationships with other boys?

After understanding this, Karuizawa Megumi began to use excuses, and she responded as coldly as possible to the boys who came over and wanted to communicate with her, regardless of whether they had good intentions or just wanted to make friends. Among them, Karuizawa Megumi has become more and more skillful in controlling her facial expressions, squinting her eyes, raising her eyebrows, and smacking her lips. It didn't take long for most boys to spread the word that Karuizawa Megumi's temper was too bad. Relying on remarks such as saying that she has a boyfriend and her eyes are as high as the sky.

After losing her reputation among the boys, Megumi Karuizawa could only be more careful to maintain her status among the girls.

"Hui, there was a girl in the next class who deliberately knocked me down in the cafeteria at noon, and she didn't even apologize."

One day during the lunch break, a girl suddenly ran up to Megumi Karuizawa panting and complained with an expression of indignation:

"That's Wakata from the next class. Because his boyfriend is a senior in the upper class and he always looks down on others, he just knocked me down and spilled all the set meals I ordered on the ground. He didn't even apologize. I I asked her to compensate me for a set meal and she left as if she didn't hear anything."

Although there are some small contradictions and conflicts within the girls' group on weekdays, when it comes to this rare thing that they can unanimously communicate to the outside world, everyone still empathizes with each other in a friendly manner:

"I've long heard that Wakata in the class next door has a bad temper, and I don't know how her boyfriend is willing to date her."

"That's right, I heard that her boyfriend recently became the vice-captain of the school basketball team. When he saw her in the corridor two days ago, his eyes almost reached the sky."

"That's because I have a boyfriend to protect me. Otherwise, I would have been isolated by the girls in the class."

Everyone was discussing in a flurry, with each mouth talking more diligently than the other, but their feet stood still as if they were rooted.

Obviously, verbal condemnation and support are the easiest things to do. If they really want to face someone in person, they have to wait for someone to take the lead to speak.

So everyone looked at Megumi Karuizawa, including the girl who came to complain at the beginning, almost as if she wanted Megumi Karuizawa to make the decision for her, standing aside and wiping her tears in tears. .

"Then, how about we go to the cafeteria to ask Wakata... Wakata-san?"

Karuizawa Megumi felt that their gazes were a bit piercing. It was not until she finished saying this that those nail-like gazes dissipated from her body. Karuizawa Megumi felt a feeling of exhaustion coming from the bottom of her heart. Since she had If you decide to be a tiger, there is no way to be weak in this kind of thing. It is the rabbit that eats grass, not the tiger.

So the girls in the class immediately surrounded Karuizawa Megumi and the girl who was bullied, as if they had received some instructions, and the group rushed to the cafeteria in a menacing manner.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that when they arrived at the entrance of the cafeteria, they happened to meet Wakata-san walking out of the cafeteria after eating and walking to the courtyard next to him. It looked like he was planning to take a walk after the meal.

"Hey, you were the one who knocked down Yuko from our class just now."

A dozen girls also immediately went to form a circle around each other. The time now happened to be a particularly delicate time, it was at the end of the lunch break. If it had been earlier, there would probably be a lot of students eating lunch in the courtyard. , if it is later, it will be filled up with students coming and going to class.

Seeing that there were not many people around, and there were more than a dozen people facing one person, the girls suddenly felt the strength of the team, and dragged Wakata to a more secretive forest, and dragged him to the woods. She was crushed under a big tree.

"Yuko, is it her?"

Emi Eura, who was at the front, pulled the other party's hair and turned around to ask.

"Yes, it's just...this is the person who didn't apologize after bumping into me."

Yuko still looked a bit timid as she stammered.
