Chapter 155, Returning Home
The time now is 8:20 am.
The location is inside the Shinkansen carriage.
As the train headed towards Izu, more and more people got off and fewer and fewer people got on, and gradually a seat became available.
Continuous seat.
The kind that can accommodate two people.
But Utsunomiya Shuo was still standing, standing far away. The reason was that Zero would not let him.
Her Royal Highness the Princess was even unwilling to sit on a chair that had been sat on by someone else. It was quite exaggerated.
"Just in case, should I buy a bicycle?" Zhuo said aimlessly.
In the days when the Aston Martin was scrapped, Zero walked to and from school—he would rather walk than ride a bicycle.
Zhuo could only push the cart and walk in front.
In Neon, for high school students, bicycles are really a very convenient and affordable means of transportation. They can even, to some extent, improve physical fitness and enable high school students to develop in an all-round way in terms of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor... At least Zhuo relied on bicycles to survive before.
However, the bicycles used by Japanese high school students are generally shared bicycles.
Many people have sat there.
Then Zero will never touch it in this life.
A bit exaggerated.
"Don't I already have a sports car?" Ling raised his little face and asked with a puzzled look, "Why do I need to buy a bicycle?"
“Minors cannot take a driving test.” Zhuo replied.
"Me neither." It's unclear whether Zero's answer could be considered an answer.
"I know."
The sky outside the window is very blue, as blue as the sea. The white clouds like fish scales are slowly floating in the sky, and I don’t know where they are going. There are not many people on the tram anymore, and there are empty seats in the carriage. I can hear the slight sound of the wheels hitting the rails, and the clear voice of a female announcer.
The shadows of telephone poles kept passing by outside the car window.
We passed by many houses with wooden plaques with their surnames.
A row of swallows flew in the air, following the footsteps of the tram.
It is summer now, very warm, and the season when swallows return from their southward flight.
"The swallows' flight path is to cross the continent into the Middle East, then cross the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea, enter Africa from the Arabian Peninsula, and finally cross a large area of rain forest and desert, all the way south to South Africa." Ling Yi lowered his head, looking very sleepy, "It's a cross-global migration."
Utsunomiya Shuo nodded and said expressionlessly: "My God, no wonder the ancients told us that swallows fly south. I always thought they flew south, but it turns out they fly to South Africa."
"Do you want to buy a bicycle to go to school?" Ling asked.
"Yes, this can help exercise your body." Zhuo replied.
"You're walking, aren't you?"
Yes.
Now, Zhuo walks to and from school every day.
He used to ride a bike, but later stopped for some reason. Then he had to spend several times more time to get from the central university, through the commercial street, to the residential area, and finally to get home.
Live life to the fullest.
"The more the better." Zhuo said.
Rei Kai grabbed the handrail with both hands, lowered his head, and said, "What's the real reason?"
"Because you won't let me ride in the car."
"Buy the one with a back seat?" Ling asked again.
The twist is a bit big.
"Yes." Utsunomiya Shuo nodded.
Ling lowered his head and rubbed his brow with his fingertips, "Then buy it."
"Oh." Zhuo nodded again.
The conversation ends here.
The only sound left was the faint clanging of the tram.
Very hypnotic.
The journey from Tokyo to Izu is quite long and takes several hours by train.
The two of them always get together very late every night, and they got up very early today. After a morning of frequent physical activities, even Ling felt a little sleepy.
then.
Zhuo felt his sleeve being grabbed.
There was a distinct feeling of warmth on the left side of the body, in front of the chest.
The temperature is still gradually rising.
after awhile.
"I'm not asleep." Ling said drowsily.
Speech is unclear.
The bangs on her forehead were scattered messily, covering most of her face. One could vaguely see the ever-changing light reflected slightly on her clean cheeks.
His eyes were not even opened.
"I know." Zhuo nodded.
then.
There was no movement again.
Maybe it's down, Zhuo thought.
then.
Suddenly. "Do you really know?" Ling asked again.
"I know."
...
...
do not know when.
Zhuo stood against the wall, looking out the window, and saw the long-lost station scenery - although he had not seen it for only a year - which made Zhuo feel indescribable nostalgia.
At the same time, Ling seemed to have noticed something and slowly broke away from his support and stood up again.
“We’re almost there.”
"Yes, but to get to my house you need to change trains or take a taxi, so you can't really say you're home yet."
The Shinkansen only stops at major stations, so you get off here. In fact, the rest of the journey will take a little longer.
While speaking, Zhuo was also thinking, if Ling were to take a taxi, how would he sit?
Crouching in the car?
...But he was obviously overthinking it.
Zhuo walked towards the big pillar next to the ticket gate where people usually gathered, and saw his mother's figure from afar.
It seems that Sa Chiko will be free to come to the station to pick us up this time, so the taxi ride can be skipped... Zhuo's family does have a car after all.
Private car.
Not as good as the Aston Martin DBS007.
Although the real reason why Sa Chiko came should, may, maybe, probably, it might be the simple reason that she wanted to see the three-no girl beside her as soon as possible.
To be honest, it's quite embarrassing to bring a girl who is not my girlfriend home and face my mother.
Very uncomfortable.
Zhuo Ziran couldn't jump up and say hello.
Zero is naturally impossible.
So the two of them just walked towards that direction stupidly, without doing anything and without shouting.
Fortunately, Zero himself is enough to attract attention.
From a distance, Sa Chiko seemed to have noticed the two of them and walked towards them with a likable and cheerful smile.
"Long time no see." Zhuo pressed the suitcase.
"Hey hey welcome Rei-chan! You really are here!"
Zhuo stood there expressionless, watching his mother walk past him to greet the three-no loli next to her.
kind.
and.
Zero sauce.
And it was obviously not the first time that Zero faced such a situation. He was not intimidated but lowered his head calmly and politely.
"thanks for your invitation."
"It's okay, it's us who want to see Ling-chan! If Zhuo had told us earlier, we should have met during spring break, but it's not too late now...ah, Zhuo, what's wrong with you?"
"..." Zhuo slapped himself lightly without any expression, "It's okay, there's just an extra mosquito."
"Oh, welcome home too, Zhuo, thank you for bringing Ling-chan here." Sa Chiko said with a wicked smile.
"You're welcome ma'am, this is what I should do."
Zhuo bowed politely.
Like an old butler.
He is the outsider.
Zhuo knew it was just a joke and was not angry. But maybe he was too stiff, so Sa Chieko said, "What are you upset about? Of course, mom and dad will be happy when Zhuo goes home." and poked him.
also……
Zhuo thought silently.
Maybe it would be better to change it to by the way.
