Chapter 104, Master Romanov

Before I knew it, it was sunset.

Four p.m.

The classroom was quiet. Almost everyone was lying on the table, resting their arms and basking in the sun.

But they are all boys.

The setting sun cast three layers of golden light on the classroom, and from time to time the dark shadows of crows passed by. The wind lifted the translucent curtains and then gently brushed the cheeks of the boys and girls, bringing a hint of coolness.

Utsunomiya Sho opened his sleepy eyes, stretched his numb arms, then reflexively took out his cell phone and checked the time.

PM, 4:15.

Have you missed the end of school time?

Because of their active performance in the physical education class, the boys were listless in the last math class. Then they felt comfortable in the sunlight and fell asleep without realizing it.

And now.

So…why not wake them up when the math teacher leaves?

Others also woke up one after another.

In the classroom, the students gathered around the window, looking at the active clubs on the playground outside the window and sighing.

"My legs are too weak, how can I get home..." a classmate complained.

"The hardest day will be tomorrow. Climbing the stairs will be a problem."

"Damn it, I can't come to school in this condition!"

"Come on, you just don't want to go to school."

"..."

Utsunomiya Shuo looked around the classroom and found that Zero in the back row was no longer there.

No wonder the boys started complaining.

I put away my phone, walked out of the classroom, grabbed the handrail of the stairs with my arms, and moved down step by step.

My legs were so weak that I almost fell down several times.

Then he passed by the school's bicycle parking lot, turned his head and looked around, and found that no one was there for the time being.

From time to time, I could hear the roar of the football club. They were galloping on the grass and shooting the football with great force under the setting sun.

Bang.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a football flew high.

One sparrow might have been chatting with its companions and didn't see the flying path clearly, so it crashed into it and fell along with the football.

At the bicycle parking lot, Utsunomiya Shuo tried pedaling tentatively, but his legs suddenly went weak and he almost fell down with his bicycle.

As expected.

Finally, I walked out of the school gate.

Anyone who works so hard again in the future will be a fool.

Thinking this way, Utsunomiya Shuo walked on the way home.

The clouds in the sky drifted in the same direction, and the fiery sunset gave them a layer of beautiful colors. The green light came on, and the cars drove across the road, and the small stones on the ground were bounced off, making a crisp sound.

Suddenly, a silver-gray super sports car flew past on the auxiliary road behind and then began to slow down.

But it didn't stop.

Instead, it crawls slowly at a speed of one meter per second.

The same speed as Utsunomiya Shuo.

But they didn't stop first, but drove side by side or walked.

Utsunomiya Shuo looked up at the sky, his legs felt so heavy that he wanted to sit on the ground and take a nap. But his mind drifted further and further away...

I don’t know if spring has arrived now.

The sky was azure blue and the clouds were as soft as cotton, being played around with by the wind and kneaded into various shapes.

A gust of wind with a slight scent of flowers blew by, lifting a corner of the poplar tree beside the road with a rustling sound.

The supercar and pedestrians standing side by side looked very strange and attracted a lot of attention.

Not long after that.

"Master Romanov." Utsunomiya Shuo suddenly said.

"What are you doing?"

The right-hand window was lowered, and Ling sat in the driver's seat, revealing his profile.

"We're almost home." Utsunomiya Shuo looked at the road ahead and said, "This road may be the most difficult road I've ever walked in my life. It will be hard to forget in this life."

“You can still see the school gate when you look back.”

Zero said calmly.

“Exaggeration.”

"too exaggerated."

"Then when can I get on the bus?" Utsunomiya Zhuo asked again.

"Let's walk a little further and wait for the lactic acid in the body to circulate," Ling looked ahead, "at the traffic light." He walked a little further.

"How about you take me there first, then drop me off at the traffic light, and then I'll get in the car."

Zhuo said again.

"No."

"Oh."

After this journey, Zhuo finally got on the car and headed home as usual. The only difference was that he was probably sitting in Ling's car... or to be more precise, Su Enxi's car.

As usual, Zero prepared everything for dinner on his way here.

There was a plastic bag on the side seat, and you could vaguely see vegetables and beef in the bag. There was a convenience store label on the outside of the bag, and it was bought just ten minutes ago.

Zhuo sat in the car with a seat belt fastened around his chest and his head casually leaning against the window.

"When did you leave the classroom?"

Chatting aimlessly.

Because buying things takes time, but being able to find him accurately before he leaves school is amazing.

"Yeah. How's the leg?"

Ling looked at the road with both hands on the steering wheel, and drove like a studious boy.

What kind of answer is "Hmm"?

Zhuo secretly complained in his heart.

"I'm still very weak. I think there are sequelae. I plan to avoid exercise before I get into the coffin."

Zhuo said.

"Ah."

Hearing that Ling just said "hmm" indifferently, Zhuo glared at her with resentful eyes.

Don't even think about who is the culprit.

"Today's food is quite rich."

"After all, you've worked hard today."

Zhuo blinked, a little confused, and then said: "So you did it on purpose... Oh, what a big steak."

It’s really huge, it feels bigger than my own chest.

Such a large steak would definitely not fit in the small refrigerator at home, but it is not practical to eat it all in one meal.

I don't know what Zero is thinking.

"Nothing, it's just that this steak is the most filling."

Zero said.

Upon hearing this, Zhuo gave her a thumbs up.

"well done!"

Even if you can’t finish it, it’s still satisfying just looking at it.

At this time, the supercar left the school district street and entered the downtown area. Pedestrians and vehicles on the road began to become crowded, and even the Aston Martin had to slow down and crawl slowly.

Red and green neon lights recede on both sides.

The sound of horns and noisy voices is very small, and the car's sound insulation is excellent.

“…I always find it incredible.”

After a moment's silence, Utsunomiya Shuo made a sound that sounded like an exclamation.

"From the first time I saw you, I thought you were a weird person.

"Then there were all kinds of troubles without any reason, and then they came to apologize... It was too deliberate."

"..." Zero gently pressed the accelerator, was silent for a moment, and said: "I don't like to owe others things."

"I see it."

Zhuo looked at her profile and smiled, then leaned against the car door window.

After a while.

"……what about now?"

Zero suddenly asked calmly, his tone casual, as if he was asking casually.
