The strongest high school student in Japan

"Is there no problem with our family now? If you can still call it a family." Mogami Sayuki interrupted her husband coldly, "I say again, this is a matter between my son and me, you have no right to interfere."

Then, she looked at Mogami Jun again. "Jun, you are usually depressed at home, right? You are not like us. We have work as a channel to vent, but you can only bear it alone... This is our problem. I have figured it out. This situation cannot continue. I want my son to leave this environment and let him live freely."

After a pause, she added, "As for money, you don't have to worry at all. Mom can take care of the rent and your living expenses. She won't make things difficult for you."

Jun Mogami was not really worried about this. After all, his mother was the editor-in-chief of a magazine and was more or less a figure in the fashion industry. Her income was naturally not low, and it was easy for her to cover his living expenses.

"Chun, don't listen to her nonsense!" Seeing that Mogami Jun was still silent, Mogami Qing became anxious, fearing that his son was bewitched. "Have you forgotten your ambition all along? Don't be greedy for the present and miss the future! You are free today and seem to be carefree, but you will have to pay back the debt in the future!"

"What ambition... that's what you forced on him! Have you ever cared about what Jun likes? You only care about what you need him to like!" Mogami Sayuki interrupted her husband again, "Don't even think about forcing Jun now, he is qualified to make his own choice!"

"What the hell do you know?!" Zuishangqing was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead, and he was no longer calm as usual. "You keep saying these nonsense words. Do you think everything you have fell from the sky? Or was it destined for you by God? It's us who you look down on who are helping you! You let your son ruin his future by running to a foreign country and then live his whole life in a muddle? Who can help him there? Is this what you call love? You are so stupid!"

Although he had been arguing with his wife all the time, he always maintained some bottom line for the sake of face. But today, seeing that she dared to directly seduce their son, he couldn't help it and roared and scolded his wife.

"So this is what's annoying about you bureaucrats... In your eyes, everyone except you is trash, and you can only see yourselves!" Mogami Sayuki was so angry that her face turned pale, her lips trembled slightly, and her voice changed. "Dad is like this, and you are like this too. Do you want your son to become like this too? Don't even think about it!"

"You... stop arguing." Seeing his parents arguing fiercely in front of him, Mogami Jun couldn't help but sigh.

Even though he is cold and distant by nature, he will still feel unhappy when he sees his parents quarreling.

"Jun..." Mogami Sayuki reacted and stopped arguing with her husband, then told Mogami Jun, "Think carefully about what your mother said. You have been so unhappy all this time. Now you have a chance to get rid of it all. Be brave and speak up. Mom supports you!"

Her eyes were full of encouragement, a sincerity that Jun Mogami had rarely seen before.

But to be honest, he was not particularly moved - the indifferent family relationship over the years had made his feelings for his mother very sparse. Even though he knew that she was treating him well now, he could not be moved.

Another question… Should I respond to my mother’s suggestion?

Jun Mogami thought about it, and finally shook his head slightly.

"Mom, forget it. I think it's better for me to continue as I am now. There's no need to move out. After all, my studies are the most important thing now. I can't afford to make any mistakes in getting into the University of Tokyo—"

On the surface, he rejected his mother's suggestion to move out, but in fact he politely declined his mother's plan to study abroad which she had not yet mentioned.

If it were in the past, he might have hesitated and wavered. After all, famous European and American universities are also very attractive and stand at the forefront of academia.

But now he would no longer consider studying abroad.

After all, he already has... friends now, and it's hard to let go.

I had already agreed with my senior to go to the University of Tokyo together. If I broke the promise, wouldn't I be a big liar who broke his promise? Senior Sagihara would definitely be very sad.

Besides, it seems like a big loss that I can’t hear Zhenyou sing for me live…

"Chun, why do you think so?!" Mogami Sayuki naturally couldn't figure out what was going on in the boy's mind. She was just very disappointed with her son's answer. "Do you really think you're doing well the way you are now?"

"Although it's not perfect, it's pretty good overall. At least I'm quite satisfied with it for now." Mogami Jun answered honestly.

"Jun, good job!" Mogami Jun's answer made Mogami Qing feel overjoyed in an instant. All his previous anger and worries were swept away, and he immediately burst into laughter.

He looked at his wife sarcastically. "See? Even your son is more sensible than you! Even he knows what we should strive for in life! You should put away your ridiculous philosophy, live your own life and don't interfere with us."

He thought his son had thought everything through and understood that the path he had chosen for him was the most glorious and worthy of pursuing without hesitation. However, he didn't realize that his son had not considered all this at that moment, and what he was most reluctant to give up was something else... If he knew, what expression would he have?

In an instant, Mogami Sayuki's originally delicate makeup became dull, and her lowered eyes almost looked like she was about to cry.

"I didn't expect...I didn't expect you to answer like that."

"I'm sorry, Mom." Seeing his mother so sad, Mogami Jun couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic. "I'm really sorry."

But even so, he didn't want to change his mind. He had his own opinions, and the things he had decided would not change because of his parents' mood, even if they apologized.

Mogami Sayuki took a breath, forced herself to calm down, and then smiled bitterly again.

"Chun, can you go out for a walk with mom? The air here is... a little uncomfortable. Just for a while."

It was already very late and he had classes tomorrow, but Mogami Jun agreed without hesitation.

"Okay." Jun Mogami nodded immediately.

"Hey, you still haven't given up?" Zui Shangqing was a little anxious again, "He's going to rest at this time, can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

"I want to take my son out. If you dare to stop me, just try. Then we can call the police and see who will be more embarrassed!" Mogami Sayuki did not give her husband any face at all, and then she pulled Mogami Jun's hand and walked outside.

Mougami Qing moved his lips, but in the end he said nothing, nor did he try to stop his wife and son.

No matter what, she is indeed Jun Mogami's mother. If a mother wants to go out for a walk with her son and the son himself does not object, who has the reason to stop her?

In this way, Jun Mogami followed his mother, got off the elevator again, and came to the underground garage.

Mogami Sayuki took him into her car and drove away from the building.

Like her father who drives a Mercedes as his personal car, Mogami Sayuki does not drive a domestic car. Her car is a Porsche Carrera, but it makes little difference to Mogami Jun.

The car was not going very fast, because although it was late at night, there was still a lot of traffic outside, and the car could only move slowly in the traffic. The city of Tokyo never sleeps and is in a state of restlessness every moment.

Because she was in a bad mood, Mogami Sayuki didn't say anything and just drove with a stern face.

Only after they were far away from the building did she sigh softly, "I never thought you would reject mom's proposal directly...Are you reluctant to give up your current glamorous conditions?"

"That's not the reason." Mogami Jun shook his head gently, "I just feel that there is no need to consider leaving at the moment. After all, I have lived here for more than ten years."

"Are you afraid of changing to a new environment just for this reason?" Mogami Sayuki smiled bitterly, "Maybe it would be better to go somewhere else? A new living environment, new air, maybe you will feel a lot more relaxed."

Jun Mogami did not answer, but silence itself was an answer.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Mogami Sayuki's eyes.

"We are not good parents." After a moment of silence, Mogami Sayuki sighed again.

"It's actually not bad. There are many parents who are worse off than you." Mogami Jun comforted his mother, and then he changed the subject. "Mom, why are you suddenly so excited today? Is it... Is there any bad news from grandpa?"

Mogami Sayuki unexpectedly turned her head to the side and looked at her son.

"You've always been a perceptive child." She nodded at last.

There was always a sense of pride in her son in her tone.

"What was grandpa talking about? Why did it make you so excited?" Mogami Jun asked again.

"I went to visit him during the day and talked to him for a while." Mogami Sayuki replied with a gloomy face, "He...he said he wanted to start looking for a future wife for you."

"Ah? I... I'm obviously not an adult yet!" Mogami Jun was shocked.

"This old man has gone crazy!" Mogami Sayuki also agreed. "He told me that life is a relay race, and the sooner you pass the baton, the better. He also said that his biggest regret now is that he didn't get married earlier and only gave birth to me as a child, resulting in no one to succeed him. In order to avoid being taught a lesson, he thinks you should get married earlier, finish your studies right after graduating from college, and then have children earlier. In this way, your children will be adults before you get old, and you will have enough opportunities to take care of them, so that their path will be smoother and he can realize his ideals... From this point of view, he thinks it's time to start looking now, so as not to be caught off guard."

"Uh..." Jun Mogami was speechless.

"This sounds a bit like something from the Meiji or Taisho era. It's so strange." He finally said in a low voice.

"It's more than just weird. It's stupid!" Mogami Sayuki criticized her father mercilessly, "It's not enough that he directed my tragedy, he also wants you to repeat it... This damn old man is enough!"

"Who is he looking for?" Mogami Jun asked back.

"I don't know, but she must be the daughter of a big company or a bank executive." Mogami Sayuki sighed, "She is now a bank director and doesn't need to do any specific work, just get paid, so she probably looks flustered and her brain is broken. Jun, do you want this?"

"I don't hope so." Jun Mogami answered directly.

85. Family

"do not wish."

Mogami Jun answered without any hesitation.

Are you kidding me? He is just a high school student, and the best years of his life have just begun, but he has to consider his future marriage partner? Is he going to sacrifice his whole life just for an old man's paranoid dream?

it's out of the question

My mother was right. Her life experience has been a lesson for me. I must never repeat this tragedy again.

"Even if she's from a wealthy and powerful family, you wouldn't consider it?" Mogami Sayuki asked. "What if your grandfather really got lucky and married into a good family?"

"Even if that's the case, I won't consider it." Mogami Jun answered firmly, "I can handle my own affairs and take responsibility for them. I don't need someone to force me with someone I don't know and have no interest in. Besides, there are no gentle and virtuous young ladies in this era. Everyone has their own temper and personality. Do I have to repeat the life of barely making do with my parents?"

"You've already..." Mogami Sayuki was a little surprised.

"Yes, I've already noticed that you and father have been strangers for a long time." Mogami Jun replied, "It's better to say that I'm surprised by your surprise, mom. Do you really think that children can't tell what their parents are like in their daily lives?"

"That's true." Mogami Sayuki nodded with a wry smile, "To be honest, if it weren't for you, we would have already -"

As if she felt that there was no point in continuing to talk about this topic, she immediately changed the subject and said, "However, at least you have a clear mind and can correctly understand your situation and the reality of society. Son, you have really grown up."

As she spoke, she smiled with relief, as if she was glad for her son's idea.

"I'm really worried that you're not in a clear mind and are thinking this is a good thing, jumping into the pit excitedly."

"Have some confidence in your son, Mom." Jun Mogami replied with a wry smile.

"In that case, then you should consider mom's suggestion and go study abroad, and stop being influenced by your father and that old man." Perhaps because she was still angry with her father, Mogami Sayuki said mercilessly, "This may be the best outcome for everyone. You can breathe the air of freedom and learn the things you want to learn most according to your own ideas. You don't have to carry the ideals and obligations imposed on you by others..."

"So you think escape is the best outcome?" asked Jun Mogami.

"Sometimes running away doesn't mean being cowardly, but it's a wise choice." Mogami Sayuki lowered her head and looked at her hands holding the steering wheel. "Here, you will always be influenced by them."

"But I don't think so." Mogami Jun looked at his mother without giving in. "If a person can't control himself, then there will be no freedom anywhere. If I just run away to escape the life here, how can it be better than now? You let me escape, essentially assuming that I am just this level of person, isn't it?"

"..." In front of her son's question, Mogami Sayuki did not answer, perhaps she herself did not know how to answer. "I didn't expect that you have grown up so much without realizing it, and you can talk to me so freely. I feel so confused. Have I slept for several years?" After a long time, she sighed quietly, "Maybe you are right, I still think of you as a child without a mind of your own."

Compared with her strong and arrogant father, although Mogami Sayuki is also very opinionated, she has been influenced by Western ideas after all, so she respects her son's own opinions more and hopes to convince him with reason rather than blindly trying to impose her own ideas on her son.

"Escape won't solve any problems, but it may cause this family to fall apart completely. What will my father think if I leave by myself? He will definitely hate you to death, and he may never associate with you again." Mogami Jun continued to express his thoughts, "To be honest, although this family is not very warm, I still think that if there is hope to continue, then continue to maintain it... This is also my willful idea. Mom, since you have been patient for me all this time, then... can you continue to maintain the status quo?"

Jun Mogami also knew that this request was very willful. He didn't want his parents to interfere with his freedom, but he shouldn't and had no right to interfere with his parents' freedom.

However, although he never said it verbally, he really couldn't bear to do it.

Obviously this family is not warm, but he still hopes it can continue. He has lived too lonely in every life. Family has become a heavy word for him.

Besides, after so many years of getting along, he already knew these two people very well. He didn't believe that people like his parents could obtain so-called happiness after their family was completely destroyed.

Since their lives will only get worse after falling apart, they might as well continue to maintain the relationship. Even if they are physically together but spiritually apart, at least they still have a family and bonds between family members.

Mogami Kiyomi and Mogami Sayuki's twenty years of marriage can't be a complete loss.

After hearing her son's request, Mogami Sayuki was stunned.

Pain, shame, regret, helplessness...all these thoughts made her beautiful face become a little stiff in an instant.

"I'm sorry... We should have been the ones to take care of you, but we ended up causing you trouble and asking you to think about us." Finally, she let out a long sigh, "Chun, I understand what you mean. Okay, I won't talk to you about studying abroad anymore, but you still have more than two years. If you change your mind, you can tell mom at any time, and I can help you with the relevant matters at any time."

"Okay, I understand, Mom." Mogami Jun nodded, "But I probably won't change my mind."

"Then what are you going to do about your grandfather?" Mogami Sayuki asked again.

"No need to do anything. No matter what he says, I will just pretend I didn't hear it." Mogami Jun replied with a smile, "It's this day and age now, he can't possibly tie me up and pair me off with someone else..."

"Pfft..." Mogami Jun's joke made his mother laugh. "Well, as long as you are determined and firmly oppose it, it doesn't matter. That old man can't really do anything to you. Since you are so opinionated in front of me, then... I will trust you for once. Don't let me down, son."

After saying this, the two fell silent.

But at this time the car neither stopped nor turned around.

At this time, Jun Mogami was surprised to realize that while the two of them were talking, his mother had already driven a long way away.

This is beyond the scope of joyride...

He looked out the car window, but it was already dark and he couldn't see where he was.

Fortunately, there were still many vehicles and lights around, otherwise Jun Mogami would really suspect that he had been abducted.

Wait, it seems like I’m about to be kidnapped now…?

"Mom, where are we going?" asked Jun Mogami with confusion.

"I'm going to take you to the port and then send you on the cruise ship. You just need to get some sleep, and tomorrow morning you will find yourself on the high seas, and then you can go to the United States after a while." Mogami Sayuki answered calmly.

People will be so calm only when they have made up their minds.

Is it true...

What's the point of all our talking? Didn't you just not listen to us at all? Mogami Jun suddenly became nervous.

No, I must resist, otherwise I might not have the chance to see Senior and Zhenyou again...

“Hahahaha…” Seeing her son’s nervous look, Mogami Sayuki couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “A son is still a son after all. Mommy is just joking with you.”

Ah... that's good. Mogami Jun heaved a sigh of relief.

At that moment just now, he was almost sweating coldly.

"It's already this time, and you still want to joke with your son..." He couldn't help but complain.
