Zongman: The post-2D era

Feng Feng and Nono played games for more than an hour, and were called to the living room by Yukino, who was sent by Mrs. Yukinoshita. The four of them enjoyed the family dinner with laughter.

In the living room, soft light fills every corner, and the warm yellow halo lengthens the figures of the four people, interweaving a warm and harmonious picture.

On the dining table, all kinds of delicacies exuded enticing aromas, and the steaming food was mixed with laughter and joy, as if even the air had become sweet.

Mrs. Yukinoshita sat in the main seat with a kind smile on her face. She picked up food for everyone from time to time, and her words were full of care and warmth.

Xue Nai sat next to Feng Feng, her eyes sparkling with happiness. Occasionally she looked up and exchanged a tacit glance with Feng Feng. There was no need for words, as they understood each other's feelings.

She gently picked up a piece of delicate pastry and handed it to Feng Feng's mouth, her eyes full of tenderness and expectation.

Feng Feng smiled slightly and took it. The interaction between the two was so natural and sweet that Yang Nai on the side couldn't help but smile knowingly.

This happy family dinner intoxicated Feng Feng, but he never thought that after the dinner, Yukinoshita Yukino would propose to break up.

Chapter 798: Breakup of the Common People

Monday, September 12

Feng Feng holds the photo of Xiao Sane's death in his hand, and recalls the blow he suffered after the family dinner last night.

The moonlight was as bright as water, casting a shadow on the quiet path outside the villa. Xue Nai and Feng Feng walked slowly side by side. Their shadows were stretched and shortened, interweaving a series of changing memory scenes on the stone road.

The night breeze blew gently, lifting a few strands of Yukino's hair and brushing gently across her fair cheeks. It also seemed to blow into a corner of her heart, making her voice become unusually firm.

"Feng Fengjun, let's break up..."

Xueno stopped and turned to face Fengfeng. Her clear eyes were flashing with unprecedented complex emotions, including reluctance, struggle, and a hint of indescribable determination.

"Let's break up." These four words, like the brightest star in the night sky suddenly falling, broke the tranquility around and deeply hurt Feng Feng's heart.

"I don't want to see you wavering between your beliefs and me. This is disrespectful to our relationship."

The pain in his shoulder brought Feng Feng back to his senses from his memories. In front of him was Sanriku Kan, who was rubbing his shoulder with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

"You don't even look at the road when you walk. You look like you have lost all hope in life. Are you heartbroken?"

Feng Feng opened his thin lips and uttered a slightly stiff "sorry", with an imperceptible loneliness hidden in his voice.

He took mechanical steps and moved slowly towards the cafeteria, and each step seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, dappled on him, but it could not warm his heart that was frozen by the sudden separation.

As we passed a path lined with sycamore trees, an unexpected breeze blew by, bringing with it gusts of coolness and the whispers of leaves.

A few green leaves, unwilling to be lonely, swayed gently, and finally one of them playfully brushed across Feng Feng's cheek, then slid down and hung squarely on the cuff of his school uniform. The green sap silently penetrated the fabric, leaving a glaring mark.

"The falling flowers have feelings but the flowing water is ruthless. No, I am just a green leaf?"

Feng Feng, however, was completely unaware of it. He just stared ahead with empty eyes, allowing the green to quietly spread in his heart, interweaving with the bitterness in his heart to form an indescribable picture.

"You're seriously injured! Inoue Kanata said on the campus network that you and Yukino broke up. I thought she was up to something, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Seeing this, Sanming Xian frowned slightly, and a trace of helplessness and heartache flashed in his eyes.

He strode forward and mercilessly slapped Feng Feng on his thin back with just the right amount of force, enough to attract attention without actually causing any harm.

"Hey, you're expressing your feelings to a tree? The tree won't respond to you, or do you plan to spend the rest of your life with this leaf?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Sanming Xian's words, but also a hint of warmth.

As he spoke, he pulled Feng Feng's wrist without saying anything, and the pace of both of them instantly became brisk, as if even the air around them was infected by this sudden vitality.

"Let's go. Today is my treat. The cafeteria is reserved."

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows, dancing on them, adding a bit of liveliness and hope to the slightly heavy atmosphere.

Sanming Xian's eyes inadvertently swept across the cafeteria entrance, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He deliberately raised his voice, raised the Coke cup in his hand, and said to Feng Feng:

"Hey, brother, you know what? Sometimes, goodbye is for a better encounter. Come, cheers to our new life that is about to begin!"

As he spoke, he deliberately clinked his glasses with Feng Feng's. The crisp sound echoed in a corner of the cafeteria, attracting several curious glances from the surroundings.

Just then, the light at the entrance of the cafeteria dimmed slightly, and the figures of Osanagi and Yukinoshita Yukino slowly walked in.

The sunlight shone from behind them, giving them a soft golden edge.

Sanming Xian's gaze stayed on Xue Noi for a moment, then turned to Feng Feng, the smile at the corner of his mouth became even more meaningful.

"See, when you mention the devil, he appears. But, Feng Feng, you have to thank Yukino for her decisiveness, otherwise how would I have the chance to become your new 'partner'?"

"After all, isn't it better to have a friend who speaks directly than those unpredictable feelings?"

There was a hint of provocation in his words, but he seemed to be really considering his proposal seriously. His eyes moved back and forth between Feng Feng and Xue Noi. The entire cafeteria seemed to have been paused, and a subtle tension filled the air.

In the dim light at the cafeteria entrance, the figures of Osanagi and Yukinoshita Yukino slowly walked away and asked Fang who was walking towards the school gate.

In the small restaurant at the school gate, the lights are dim and warm, with a few wooden tables scattered around, making it look particularly quiet.

Xiao Sane sat opposite Yukino, his eyes full of concern and confusion, and asked softly: "Yukino, did you break up with Fengfengjun because of me?"

Yukino lowered her head and stirred the fried rice in the bowl. The rice grains and the sauce slowly blended together. Her movements seemed a little mechanical. A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, but she could not hide the complex emotions in her eyes.

"Well, I guess so." She answered lightly, with a barely perceptible bitterness in her voice.

Her eyes drifted out the window, and her thoughts seemed to drift back to the cafeteria.

There, sunlight and shadow are intertwined, and the figures of Sanming Xian and Feng Feng appear both near and far in the light and shadow.

Especially Sanming Xian's slightly provocative words, which were like a cold current quietly flowing into her heart, making her feel a subtle regret in the coldness of her decision to break up with Feng Feng.

In the afternoon, the sunlight slanted across the path on the campus, stretching the two people's shadows into long ones, which occasionally overlapped and then quickly separated, just like the subtle and complex emotions between them.

Yukino was holding a heavy book and walking hurriedly, but she inexplicably hoped that she could meet him again around the corner.

Feng Feng, with his hands in his pockets, walked behind, glancing at the familiar figure in front of him from time to time, but deliberately slowed down his pace when he was about to get closer, allowing the crowd to separate them briefly.

At the corner of the library, as if fate had arranged it, the two of them stopped and turned around at the same time, and their eyes met inadvertently.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the surrounding noise gradually faded away. A flash of surprise flashed across Yukino's eyes, and then she quickly regained her composure.

She wanted to speak but didn't know where to start. In the end, she just lowered her eyes and avoided the burning gaze.

Feng Feng had mixed feelings. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he just let out an almost inaudible sigh. He turned around and continued walking in the opposite direction.

After school, the setting sun poured down on the empty playground like molten gold, coating everything with a warm and lonely glow.

Xiao Sane stood in a corner of the playground, the dim light of her mobile phone screen flickering in the darkness. From time to time, she looked up at Feng Feng, who she had called over from a distance, her eyes full of hesitation and concern.

Feng Feng had his back to the setting sun, his shadow was stretched out and he looked particularly lonely.

His eyes were gazing into the distance with emptiness, as if all the noise had nothing to do with him, and only the unfulfilled emotions in his heart were silently surging.

At this moment, at the other end of the playground, Inoue Jinyu quietly poked his head out, and aimed the camera of his mobile phone in his hand at this scene, his eyes flashing with cunning and a barely perceptible desire for revenge.

She gently pressed the shutter button and the picture froze: under the sunset, two figures, one still and one moving, were subtly connected by an invisible emotional bond.

Then, she quickly edited a message, attached the photo she had just taken, and with a tap of her finger, the picture traveled through the virtual space and flew towards Yukinoshita Yukino.

Chapter 799: The Rumored Girlfriend

September 13, Sunday

Rumors were spreading in the school, and a photo of Xiao Sanei and Feng Feng standing opposite each other after yesterday's operation was tagged with the text "confession scene" by Inoue Kanai and posted on the campus network.

All the teachers and students in the school knew that Xiao Sane had become Feng Feng’s rumored girlfriend.

In the school infirmary, Yukinoshita Yukino lay on her side on the bed, using the excuse of a headache. The screen of her cell phone lit up in the dim light. The photo was like a sharp blade, cutting through the tranquility in her heart.

She slowly put down the pendant that Feng Feng had given her personally. The moment the pendant slipped from her fingertips, it seemed to take away her last bit of warmth.

She stared at the photo on the screen of her mobile phone. Feng Feng's back in the picture looked lonely and determined, and his shadow elongated by the setting sun was like the unspoken sorrow in his heart.

Tears inadvertently blurred her vision, and she unconsciously pressed her hand on her chest, which felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds, and every heartbeat was a tearing pain.

The world around her seemed to have lost its sound at this moment, leaving only her rapid and heavy breathing, and the unspeakable sadness in her heart spreading silently.

Not far from the infirmary, Feng Feng and Xiao Sanei were walking on the way to the library, once again responding to their classmates' teasing and whistles.

"Don't worry, Sane-chan. I will definitely clarify the rumors. Yesterday you only asked me to talk about breaking up with Yukino. It wasn't a confession."

The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, dappling onto the path, giving a warm golden edge to the figures of Feng Feng and Xiao Sanei walking side by side.

There seemed to be stars in Xiao Sane's eyes, flickering with some strange feeling and firmness in friendship. She nodded gently, and her indifference and confidence made the surrounding noise seem insignificant.

“It’s just a rumored girlfriend. If we don’t take it seriously, the trend will fade away sooner or later.

The smile at the corner of her mouth is innocent and slightly playful, like a flower blooming in spring, gentle yet powerful.

"Let's go to the library."

She turned her head to look at Feng Feng, her eyes showing both trust in clarifying the misunderstanding and tacit understanding of facing challenges together.

The two of them quickened their pace unconsciously, as if every step was towards solving confusion and pursuing the truth.

The door of the library opened quietly in front of us, like a portal to wisdom and tranquility.

They stepped in hand in hand and together they unraveled the fog of misunderstanding.

Xiao Sane carefully placed a pile of heavy materials under the soft light of the library. The faint scent of ink emanated from the pages, intertwined with her slightly complicated emotions at the moment.

She turned sideways, her eyes involuntarily following Feng Feng as he moved between the bookshelves. His slender fingers gently slid across each row of book spines, focused and serious, as if the whole world had stopped and only his conversation with knowledge remained.

Just then, a subtle sound attracted her attention: Inoue Kanai, the woman who always liked to target her.

The woman was quietly approaching the other side of the bookshelf, her phone screen flashing an ominous light.

Xiao Zuo's heart tightened and she subconsciously wanted to stop it, but her reason told her that without solid evidence, any action might backfire.

She took a deep breath and did not act rashly. She just kept her eyes fixed on Inoue Kanai's movements, secretly thinking about how to collect evidence quietly and protect herself and her friends from unnecessary harm.

At that moment, the air in the library seemed to freeze, time became unusually slow, and Osane's eyes flashed with an unprecedented wolf-like ferocity and wisdom.

Xiao Sane walked to the bookshelf, exchanged some thoughts and glances with Feng Feng in a low voice, then sat back quietly at the desk, flipping through the materials in her hands, but her attention seemed to always be drawn to Feng Feng who was not far away.

Among the bookshelves, Feng Feng's fingers unconsciously wandered between the spines of the books. Every time he slid over a book, it was as if he was searching for some unknown answer.

Suddenly, his fingertips trembled, and a slight pain accompanied by an inexplicable sense of familiarity came over him, as if the book was responding to him in a subtle way.

He raised his head, and his eyes were instantly attracted by the simple and mysterious words "Prohibition of Resurrection from the Dead".

The large gold-plated characters on the spine gleamed alluringly under the dim light, like a portal to another world.

Feng Feng couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently pulled out the book. The warmth of the predecessors and traces of time seemed to still remain between the pages.
