Chapter 44, Pig Farming
Tuesday, sunny...
After a night of reflection, Zhuo deeply reflected on his mistakes.
First of all, he reflected on the fact that because of his laziness, he had to wait for the lunch to arrive on time every day, rain or shine... although it hasn't rained recently... and the person who brought him meals had to clean up the mess after the meal.
A bit heartless.
He doesn't know how to be gentle and considerate to women.
Secondly, he reflected on his own lack of consideration in only allowing Zero, a hybrid, to eat only half a breakfast with him. Given the amount of exercise and body cell activity of hybrids, they would definitely need more energy.
Zero probably wasn't full.
I am such a inhuman being.
So Zhuo told himself today that he must remember to close the door.
…If I hadn’t opened the door and seen Ling holding two bento boxes.
Life is short and I'm fucking lazy.
So be it.
Wash, Kudzu, sofa...
Zero, garbage, out of the house...
Wednesday, sunny...
Washing machine and sofa.
Zero, go out.
Thursday, mostly cloudy...
Washing machine and sofa.
Zero, go out.
Friday, sunny...
sofa.
Go out.
Saturday……
Sunday…
Zhou… …
Half a month passed like this, and it was already the end of June.
According to the holiday distribution of Neon, this time is around mid-July. The central university where Zhuo is studying has a holiday scheduled for July 7, which is more than 21 days later. The school starts on August 8, and the official class starts on September 31, which is the same as the flower-growing family next door.
The summer vacation lasts for 42 days.
Although it looks short, if you analyze it carefully you will find that it is indeed short.
...However, Japan does not only have this one holiday. If you include summer vacation, winter vacation, spring vacation, Golden Week, holidays, and weekends, high school students in Japan can have about 130 days of rest throughout the year.
From this perspective, the high school holidays here are almost the same as those for the junior high school students next door.
More than 20 days, it can be said to be just around the corner.
The holidays are approaching, and naturally, students' minds begin to wander.
Zhuo sat in his seat, watching them gather in groups of three or five, listening to them discussing their summer vacation plans and where they were going to go...
In fact, there are only a few famous festivals:
Tokyo Kanda Festival.
Gion Festival in Kyoto.
Osaka Tenjin Festival.
and many more……
Just like the people in the flower-growing family next door, although we are usually quite poor, we have mastered a hundred ways to reward ourselves.
For example, the Osaka Tenjin Festival is held at Osaka Tenmangu Shrine.
Preparations for this festival begin in June, and on July 7th, men and women who have nothing to do and no work to participate in the festival will carry their homemade wooden boats into the creek in the center of the city streets, sing and dance on them, perform the Hokoryū ritual, Taiko drums, lion dances, land ferry parades, and ship ferry parades, and finally set off fireworks in the night sky.
As long as you don't feel embarrassed when cruising the city on a boat, you will naturally have a great experience.
Zhuo heard someone in the class say that their family had already started making a wooden boat in preparation for that day.
Pretty awesome.
Zhuo felt someone tapping him from behind, so he turned 180 degrees with his butt as the axis. "Zhuo, what are your plans for the summer vacation?"
"sleep?"
"You do this every day!" Ren complained speechlessly, "I mean going out for activities!"
"So... go to the bathroom?"
"What kind of outing is this! Are you going to use the bathroom on the street!?"
"Even if you say so, this is probably how my vacation will be."
Zhuo saw Ren's eyes flicker after hearing his answer... It seemed like a conspiracy.
really,
"How about we go to the fireworks display together?" Ren took the initiative to invite, but his motives were not good. "Ask Yamamoto to come along."
Fireworks display... This is probably the most festive festival in Neon. It is even more festive than the New Year's Eve before fireworks were banned in Japan. It is so lively that you can go in wearing your own clothes and find that you have changed your clothes when you come out.
So in anime, you see people spraining their ankles, losing their shoes, or going to the woods to take care of a full toilet... these kinds of things are very common in real life.
"I don't want to see you guys showing off on a day when we should be relaxing."
Zhuo answered like this.
It's fine if Ren and Yurina go to the fireworks display, but why did they ask me, an LED, to go with them? What, are you afraid of the dark?
"…You can ask Yamamoto to call his friends~ You don’t have a girlfriend yet, right?" Ren said.
"Oh yes, thanks for the reminder." Zhuo replied with dead fish eyes.
"...Yamamoto's friends all have good looks~" Ren guided him step by step.
"It's okay." Zhuo had indeed seen the girl who often played with Yurina, and she was indeed very nice.
But he is really not interested in this kind of relationship where one starts a relationship out of envy after watching others fall in love.
And this kind of love that only looks at appearance... I'm sorry.
Although this is the case with most school romances, it is not realistic to expect students to see every aspect of their partner, so appearance becomes the first factor.
However, statistics show that those who fall in love and get married during school have the highest rate of marital stability.
On the contrary, marriages that occur after entering society may end in an unhappy ending because too many aspects are taken into consideration.
Zhuo really envied campus romances that led to marriage, but he didn't intend to follow blindly.
"I'm telling you~it's time to get a girlfriend." Ren said helplessly.
"If a girlfriend could be obtained in this way, I would be married now." Zhuo replied.
"How about a haircut?" Ren looked him up and down.
"No." Zhuo refused decisively.
"Why? Not having a romantic relationship in high school will be a lifelong regret for you!" Ren said, holding his chin with his hand. "Besides, Zhuo, you are not ugly. You are the type that gets more attractive the more you look at it. As long as you are willing to clean yourself up, someone will definitely notice your good qualities."
"Even if they are people with unruly looks, you will get used to them after seeing them more often."
Zhuo refuted his words.
"Besides, why should I rush into a relationship? Am I going to be excretory?"
"Uh, Zhuo, you can't say bad words."
Zhuo rolled his eyes. What kind of dirty words are these? This is common sense. Every man will go through this stage when he gets older.
"In short, girls who approach you because of your appearance probably fall in love with you for the sake of 'saving face'. That kind of relationship will not have any result." Zhuo said.
"You're right. But if your appearance isn't up to par, people won't be interested in knowing your inner self. Then you won't even have a chance to start."
"…That's why I'm in such a hurry to fall in love."
Zhuo thought that the evaluation of himself was very pertinent.
He doesn't have a face like Kanda, which is so handsome that others can be obsessed with it; nor does he have a heart like Ren, who has a hardworking and gentle heart under his handsome appearance.
The feelings you obtain by packaging yourself in this way will eventually be exposed.
Thanks to Brother Guang Niangniang for the monthly ticket.
Thanks to brother Zhuo Zi Yan for the monthly ticket.
Thanks for a monthly ticket from a brother who likes you more than you can imagine.
