Chapter 116, Endless Vacation

“Are there no new words?”

Utsunomiya Shuo stood in the crowd, watching from afar the principal's serious speech on the stage, trying hard not to doze off.

The lines from last year seemed to be the same. Did they get the wrong script? Or is it just the same speech every year?

Although Neon’s holidays are short, they are very frequent.

Winter vacation ends in January, spring vacation comes in March, spring vacation ends in April, Golden Week comes in early May... When Golden Week ends, summer vacation comes in July.

So, even though today is a Golden Week holiday, Zhuo can't really muster any energy for the arrival of this day.

Now, all the teachers and students in the school are listening to the principal's speech on the stage. To be honest, if possible, I hope the principal can put these words in a text message and send it to every student.

Most of the students around me seemed to be in the same mood. Only a handful of students were paying attention to the lecture, while most of them were just listening casually or looking at the stage sleepily.

No matter what he said, he couldn't express his impatience openly, so Zhuo had to continue to put on an expression that said, "You make sense, I'm deeply inspired." However, in his heart, he still hoped that the principal would say less, because it would go in one ear and out the other for everyone anyway.

If this were his own graduation ceremony, Zhuo might actually be able to squeeze out some genuine emotions and express his reluctance to leave the principal on the stage.

But this is just a closing ceremony, so let's save our feelings.

"…Ouch, my shoulders are sore."

"It's all because the principal's speech was too long."

After the ceremony, everyone returned to the classroom and said the same thing.

However, there was a hint of energy in their voices, probably because once the next class meeting was over, they would have about a week of free time.

All the students in the class had smiles on their faces because they were finally freed from the boring class.

Zhuo sat in his seat and looked at these people, his face expressionless, neither sad nor happy.

Tomorrow begins the Golden Week...

For some reason, he just couldn't muster any energy.

I just feel that time passes so fast, so fast...

When did it start?
Since when did he stop looking forward to the holiday? Since when did he start to yearn for a slower, slower life every day?
Zhuo leaned against the corner of the table at the back and looked up at the ceiling fan.

daze.

The electric fan was whirring and shaking, making people feel like it would fall down in the next second and splash ketchup all over the floor.

Because summer vacation will come soon after the Golden Week, and Zhuo will definitely go back to his hometown during the summer vacation, so there is no need to think about going home during the Golden Week.

Come to think of it, I didn’t go back during the winter vacation.

Winter break is because of Christmas...well, mainly because Zero's birthday happens to be on Christmas.

Speaking of zero.

When Utsunomiya Zhuo thought of this, he turned his head and looked at the corner of the back row. The three-no loli was basking in the sun, with her hands under the table, her eyes staring at the table, and then she was in a daze quietly.

It was pretty much the same as when he was at home.

Look back.

Zhuo has been trying his best to avoid too much contact with Ling during this period... Although they still meet every day... but the interactions are decreasing.

He did it on purpose.

Zhuo also discovered that something was wrong with himself. He had become more and more trusting of Ling, even to the point where... he would tell him whatever he wanted.

But what about Zero? What does she think of herself?

This is not good.

He needed to calm down, it would be best if he could leave her for a few days and calm down alone.

As for normal conversations… Since Ling rarely takes the initiative to talk, it is usually Zhuo who takes the initiative. So as long as he controls the frequency of bringing up topics, he can limit their interactions to a controllable range.

But where can I go to calm down, or hide?

Since I haven't found a suitable job in advance, it may be difficult to find a short-term part-time job with accommodation.

He only has a few friends, and only two of them can stay with him during the holidays.

As for Kiritani...his bed is too small! And he would snatch the blanket from me.

As for Yurina... forget it.

"I'm talking to Zhuojun."

Speak of the devil and he will appear. Behind Zhuo, Ren came over and spoke to him.

As soon as Zhuo turned around, he saw Tong Gu Ren's sunny smile——but this suspicious smile only gave Zhuo a bad premonition. Whenever Ren showed such a smile, he either wanted to ask Zhuo for help or brought him some trouble.

Utsunomiya Shuo looked at him and remained silent.

"..."

"Are you free starting tomorrow?"

"I guess I'm free." Zhuo answered hesitantly.

"Yeah, I knew it would be like this. That's great, great."

"What?" Ren smiled and patted the school bag hanging on his seat.

Including Zhuo, most of the luggage in the closet and desk had been taken home before the holiday, but now the schoolbag was bulging with items. Besides, there were no classes to attend today, so the things left to take were at most pencil cases, documents or wallets.

This made his backpack look unnatural with all the stuff stuffed into it.

"… Let me ask you, what is that?"

Zhuo felt something was wrong and asked.

"A change of clothes."

"Why do you carry so many clothes with you?"

"I'm asked to stay at Kanda's house for a while. Come with me."

Ren's request came out so naturally that it sounded a bit coquettish, as if a tilde had been added to the end of the sentence.

Hearing him say that, Zhuo of course frowned completely.

"We can't stay together for a day..." Zhuo suddenly thought of something and changed his words: "...How many days will you stay?"

"Not necessarily. Maybe one or two days, or maybe a week."

"The whole Golden Week?"

"correct."

The Golden Week lasts only eight days.

"Does Kanda know about this?"

"know."

"What about his family? Did they agree too?"

"Of course, it was his father who asked Sen Gu for help, and then Sen Gu asked me for help, and I found you again."

"Because of love?"

"I knew you knew this a long time ago."

Ren shrugged and said so.

Ren usually informs others in advance before doing anything. Just like on Christmas Eve, even though it was late at night, he would still say hello in advance.

I guess this happened suddenly.

Is Kanda's matter so urgent?
What? The person you’re dating is a lazy girl?
But no matter how idle the girls are, they can't compare to the three in the nanny group. They kill people, burn things, rob houses, and do everything except their jobs.

But I just happened to want to get away these few days, so this is a good opportunity.

It's just that Zero needs to pretend to be in "I'm just doing this for friends" mode.

So Utsunomiya Shuo agreed.
