Zongman: The Qilin Child of Xuanyuan Family

"Brother Xuanyuan, do you want to go up and sit for a while?"

Nishimiya Yuzuru, who was safely sent home by Xuanyuan Ning, invited Xuanyuan Ning to go upstairs to his home as a guest.

The Goto family and the Nishinomiya family live very close to each other.

When Goto Jiri heard that Nishimiya Yuzuru invited Xuanyuan Ning to his home, he had some similar thoughts in his mind.

However, Goto Jiri quickly dismissed the idea. After all, Goto Jiri had only met Xuanyuan Ning once, and it would be inappropriate to invite Xuanyuan Ning to his home so soon.

In addition, his sister Goto Ichiri is extremely socially anxious... Goto Jiri is also afraid that his sister will be scared.

"Xuan...Xuanyuan Jun?"

Nishimiya Glass became more proficient in calling Xuanyuan Ning's name, and the hope in the girl's eyes could not be hidden.

"Next time. Glass, Yuzuru, you still have to go home to discuss following me later, so don't bother Aunt Yaeko today."

Xuanyuan Ning waved his hand to refuse.

This time, Xuanyuan Ning brought Hikigaya Hachiman with him, a person the other party didn't even know, to disturb the other party. It was impolite no matter how you looked at it, and Hikigaya Hachiman was probably embarrassed.

Seeing that Nishimiya Yuzuru still wanted to keep him, Xuanyuan Ning pointed to the notebook in Nishimiya Glass's hand and said, "I've left my contact information. There will always be opportunities in the future. There's no need to rush."

"Okay... Brother Xuanyuan, goodbye."

"Bye...bye."

Knowing that he couldn't keep Xuanyuan Ning, Nishimiya Yuzuru waved goodbye to Xuanyuan Ning, and Nishimiya Glass did the same.

"See you."

Watching the three little ones go upstairs, Xuanyuan Ning and Hikigaya Hachiman left the community.

We passed a fried chicken shop on the way.

Putting the takeaway box on the bench, Xuanyuan Ning leaned on the railing, looked at the busy street below, took out a fried chicken leg and started to chew it.

Unlike the three little bird stomachs, desserts are not enough to fill Xuanyuan Ning up.

"Hachiman, want some?"

Xuanyuan Ning handed the bag of fried chicken to Hikigaya Hachiman who was standing next to him and also looking down.

"Xuanyuan, you..."

Taking out a piece of fried chicken wing tip from the fried chicken bag, Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Xuanyuan Ning's current appearance and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He was a little confused about Xuanyuan Ning.

"Why would I eat such cheap junk food?"

Xuanyuan Ning put the bone in his hand into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, and said without turning his head.

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't say anything, which meant he agreed.

Xuanyuan Ning always behaves as if he doesn't care about money.

This is also the reason why Hikigaya Hachiman occasionally has bad intentions and wants to kill Xuanyuan Ning, the rich man.

Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't figure it out. Shouldn't people like Xuanyuan Ning be high and mighty?

"Hachiman, what kind of life do you think I should live?"

Xuanyuan Ning said calmly as he grabbed a few popcorn chicken pieces from the fried chicken bag and threw them into his mouth.

"..."

"Then Hachiman, what kind of life do you think you should live?"

"..."

After not hearing Hikigaya Hachiman's answer for a long time, Xuanyuan Ning turned around and looked at Hikigaya Hachiman who lowered his head and remained silent.

"Hachiman, pleasing yourself is the most important thing. That's the meaning of life."

"Whatever makes you feel comfortable is right. Life is short, just please yourself."

“You don’t need to care too much about what other people think or look at you, just please yourself.”

Hikigaya Hachiman is too rational, Xuanyuan Ning discovered this the first time he was called into the office by Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Reason is a good quality, but Hikigaya Hachiman has a kind of tenderness deep down in his heart...

A kind of gentleness...disliked by Xuanyuan Ning and called "Asasi".

When extreme rationality meets the gentleness of "Ashasi", rationality will turn into a knife, a knife that stabs oneself.

Hikigaya Hachiman's rationality will allow him to quickly determine the best solution to a problem, and his "Asashi" will exclude the harm he may suffer from this method.

"Ashasi" distorts rationality, and the optimal solution is to actively ignore the point that "it will hurt yourself".

The optimal solution in this case is actually the least "rational" way to solve the problem.

Xuanyuan Ning expects Hikigaya Hachiman to make his own changes.

Gentle people should be treated gently.

Instead of being hurt all over after giving your tenderness.

this is not right.

A good person shouldn't be pointed at a gun, even if the person holding the gun is himself.

Chapter 87 But I’m Not You

Xuanyuan Ning left alone.

Hikigaya Hachiman, who was left there, looked at Xuanyuan Ningyuan's back as he walked away, and then looked at the half bag of fried chicken that was still left in his hand.

"Oh, are you treating me like a trash can again?"

Hikigaya Hachiman said this, but his hand honestly reached into the fried chicken bag.

Naturally taking out a fried chicken leg, Hikigaya Hachiman shifted his gaze from where Xuanyuan Ning had disappeared back to the hustle and bustle of traffic under the bridge.

Looking at the fried chicken leg in his hand, Hikigaya Hachiman gave a wry smile.

Who doesn’t want to eat fried chicken legs when eating fried chicken? But the person who bought the fried chicken was Xuanyuan Ning, and this fried chicken is Xuanyuan Ning’s “stuff”.

This is also the reason why when Xuanyuan Ning handed him the bag of fried chicken, Hikigaya Hachiman only took the tip of the wing.

Xuanyuan Ning's generous sharing does not mean that Hikigaya Hachiman can accept anything from the other party with peace of mind.

Because there were only two fried chicken legs in the bag of fried chicken, Hikigaya Hachiman was not sure whether this one was left for him by Xuanyuan Ning. If not, he would be embarrassed.

So his reason made him choose to give in, and he once again chose to put himself in a difficult position.

Xuanyuan Ning was right, Hikigaya Hachiman was very rational, too rational.

But people should not be too rational. You are a human being, not a robot, and emotions are your instinct.

Many times, emotion is more important than reason.

"good to eat."

Taking a bite of the fried chicken leg, Hikigaya Hachiman chewed it slowly.

Chewing and chewing,

Hikigaya Hachiman stopped chewing and looked at the fried chicken leg in his hand that he had bitten into in silence.

"Xuanyuan, but I am not you..."

"This is the way the world is. I can't change it. I can only go on with this rotten world."

Hikigaya Hachiman muttered to himself.

The gap between the "capital" he possessed and Xuanyuan Ning's was too great. He could not learn Xuanyuan Ning's high-spiritedness, nor could he learn Xuanyuan Ning's way of dealing with people, nor could he learn Xuanyuan Ning's way of following his heart.

He is Hikigaya Hachiman, the one who mistakenly thought that the other person liked him, confessed his feelings, and said he was disgusted after being rejected.

It was that classmate who was greeting her friend. He was so self-indulgent that he thought that his classmate was greeting him, so he took the initiative to approach her, making her and her friend feel awkward.

It is also Hikigaya Hachiman who hides himself and avoids having too much contact with others.

Don't care about other people's thoughts and looks? How can you not care...

Hikigaya Hachiman really envied Xuanyuan Ning and envied everything about Xuanyuan Ning.

But if you ask Hikigaya Hachiman to become Xuanyuan Ning, he will just smile bitterly and shake his head to indicate that he can't do it.

A victim who is stuck in a quagmire is satisfied if he is pulled out of the quagmire by a rescuer. He can look up to the rescuer and yearn for the rescuer, but he cannot become the rescuer.

Because he knew he couldn't do it.

"Actually...it's pretty good right now."

"Isn't it? Hikigaya Hachiman."

After eating the remaining meat on the fried chicken leg, Hikigaya Hachiman put the bones into the plastic bag outside the fried chicken bag and said self-deprecatingly.

Unlike Xuanyuan Ning's wish, Hikigaya Hachiman timidly chose to be content with the status quo.

......

"Mom, my sister and I are back!"

When he opened the door, Yuzuru Nishimiya immediately saw Yaeko Nishimiya who had returned home, and happily waved the packing bag in her hand towards her mother.

"Yuzuru, Naoko. Welcome home."

Nishimiya Kei, who was sitting on a chair knitting scarves for her two lovely granddaughters, heard Nishimiya Yuzuru's voice, looked towards the entrance and spoke kindly.

In order not to worry Nishimiya Kei, Yaeko Nishimiya did not tell Nishimiya Kei about the fact that Nishimiya Shoko was bullied at school and that the matter was reported to the police station.

There is no need to let the elderly Xigong Xi know about the matter that has already been resolved.

This will not achieve any other effect except making the Nishimiya family worry about Nishimiya Glass.

"Yeah, grandma, we're back."

"Grandma...Grandma."

Nishimiya Shoko's inferiority complex has disappeared a lot, and she no longer needs sign language to communicate at home.

"Hey, Glass, be good."

When Nishimiya Keiji heard Nishimiya Naoko calling him grandma, his wrinkled face was filled with smiles.

Although I don’t understand why Nishimiya Shoko has changed so much recently, the Nishimiya family can only be happy about this positive change.

She is old and her health is not as good as before.

In order to take care of Nishimiya Kei, Yuzuru Nishimiya and Shoko Nishimiya have always prevented Nishimiya Kei from picking them up after school.

Xigong Xi was half happy and half heartbroken about the understanding of his two granddaughters.

I am happy that Nishimiya Shoko and Nishimiya Yuzuru are sensible, but I also feel sorry for them because of their understanding.

If conditions permit, Nishimiya really wishes the two sisters were not so sensible.

Being sensible often means growing up, while maturity that does not match age represents the pressure of life.

"Yuzuru, what are you holding in your hand?"

Yaeko Nishimiya looked at the packing bag in Yuzuru Nishimiya's hand and her eyes fixed.

She had been told in advance that her two daughters were going to see Xuanyuan Ning, but they should have gone to see Xuanyuan Ning to express their gratitude.

Why would someone come back with a takeaway box?

"Brother Xuanyuan gave it to me..."

When talking about desserts, Yuzuru Nishimiya's voice became much lower.

After all, her original intention was to find Xuanyuan Ning with her sister, thank him and ask for his contact information so that she could repay him in the future.

As a result, the two sisters not only failed to repay the favor, but also took advantage of it.

"Mom...Mom...it was...Xuan...Xuanyuan...Jun...bought...it...for...us..."

Nishimiya Shoko stood in front of Nishimiya Yuzuru to shield her sister from the scrutiny of her mother.

"I understand. Let's eat first."

I owe Xuanyuan Ning another debt...
