Daily life in Zongman

"call……"

There was an obvious sound of relief.

"Just now, Haru-kun looked a little disappointed and worried."

"Because I wanted to embarrass and annoy Naoko just now, I bullied you too much, but in the end I failed. I'm a little disappointed. I'm disappointed in myself, not Naoko."

"Eh?"

Glass, who was following behind, was a little confused. She didn't feel that she was being bullied. In fact, she was quite happy.

"Glass, you can be more confident and have a better temper."

“That… um…”

"how to say……"

Thinking about this, we walked on the way home together, looking at the sunset in the sky, and remembered the skies I had photographed in the past.

I haven't played with a Polaroid camera for a long time. I played with Glass for a while before, so she should understand what I'm saying.

"Glass, when you take pictures of the moon or the sunset, you'll find that the pictures you take don't have the beauty you actually see. But you won't think the sky is ugly, because you know that the camera can't capture the beauty of the sky."

"You should think of yourself the same way."

Turning back, he looked at her: "The truth is, you are as dazzling as the sunset. Please have more confidence in yourself."

Glass didn't answer anything, but just stood there, watching quietly for a while, then tiptoed and kissed her.

The rabbit, who has always been timid, left the cave on his own initiative for the first time today and ran out to explore.

The summer wind came, burying the treasures of spring in this corner where only the two of them were, and planting them in each other's hearts.

They held hands and never separated until they got home.

In the room, Glass had fixed her hair, leaving it half-down, a hairstyle she had tried to braid just now but had failed.

She turned her head and smiled lightly, gently and softly.

Chapter 173 Fireworks Display (Part )

After leaving the bedroom and waiting for a while, Glass pushed the door open and walked out.

"I'm ready~ Haru-kun~"

She had a small cloth bag hanging on her wrist, a round fan in her bare hands, and was wearing a light pink kimono, looking graceful and elegant.

Glass, who was standing in front of me, turned around, with a smile on her pretty face, indicating that it was time to set off.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Nishimiya, he went out with Glass.

It was just getting dark, and the evening breeze carried a hint of the afternoon's heat, making people feel a little warm when it rolled over them.

Walking on the way to the river, I strolled and chatted with Glass.

"I've been playing games at home the past few days, and I feel like I've really fallen into depravity. I haven't done my holiday homework, and I haven't kept up with my crafts. I was thinking about reading a world classic, but now I haven't even decided what to read."

"As soon as I thought about what to study, I thought about how long it would take, then I thought about logging in and playing a round, and then I'd talk about it after I finished. And then, before Sister Shendong called me to eat, I never stopped. The plans I made at the beginning of summer vacation were completely disrupted."

"The only thing I still have left to do is practice. I do this every night. Recently, it has completely replaced my sleep. I feel refreshed after practicing."

There are very few things I hide from Glass, and I have told her about my cultivation.

I also told her that I would try to teach her after I had mastered the subject. It wouldn't work now because I was still learning and my skills weren't high enough. If I made a mistake and she went astray, there would be no way to deal with it.

It's impossible to say that believing in love and miracles, and crying in someone's ear a few times after they've gone crazy, will restore them to normal.

That depends too much on luck, so it’s better not to do that.

Glass gently waved the round fan, letting the wind blow past her, and the sound was transmitted by the wind.

"Is there anything Haru-kun that needs to be done?"

After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Apart from practicing, there's not much else to do. Most of it is optional."

"That's okay, then. Just have fun. Summer vacation just needs to be spent happily, so any way is fine."

"That's true, I understand this a little bit. It's mainly because after playing for so long, I felt a little ashamed of myself for always playing games. I probably thought studying would improve me more, but I was always playing games and not improving myself, so I felt ashamed of myself for falling into such a state of depravity."

"Haru-kun, it's good like this~ It's already very good~"

"It feels much better to be recognized. But to be honest, I told this to Glass because I wanted to comfort her. After all, Glass has always been like this, always very gentle. When I told her this, I thought you would agree with me and let me continue playing games, without telling me to study hard in the future or anything like that."

Walking beside her, he complained to himself: "I was looking forward to support, saying these words, and I got the comfort I expected, and my heart truly relaxed. It seems that I have really fallen a bit. I feel that if this continues, I will become more and more dependent on Nitro."

Glass followed quietly beside him, her face slightly flushed, and she gently waved a round fan beside her.

There was still some distance to the riverside location for viewing the fireworks, and more and more people wearing yukata were walking on the street.

"What has Nitro been doing at home lately?"

Glass blinked, thought for a moment, and then responded softly: "I helped my mother clean the house after getting up in the morning. In the afternoon, I watched TV with Yuzuru and found that her hair had grown to her shoulders and could be styled. So I started teaching her how to braid her hair and how to make a ponytail. In the end, I tried a double ponytail style and found it looked pretty good."

"I see. I'd like to see Yuzuru's twintails. I remember she used to hate her mushroom haircut, and after it grew to a bob, it hasn't changed much. I'm curious what her twintails would look like."

"Yuzuru's twintails are so cute~"

Glass boasted softly about her sister.

"Didn't you study?"

Asked abruptly.

"Oh... um... sorry... I'll study for a while after dinner."

Glass's eyes wandered around, not daring to look to the side.

"No need to apologize, I don't mind. Speaking of which, Naoko is not very good at lying. It's rare for her to talk for a long time, and she even brought up Yuzuru and took the initiative to talk about another topic. It's quite cute."

With a teasing tone: "Also, when I asked Glass what she was doing, I had a vague feeling that Glass wouldn't say she was studying to make me feel relaxed or something."

After saying this, he didn't reflect on his "evil deeds" at all, and naturally shifted the blame: "Thinking about it carefully, this matter is your fault, Nitro. You never resisted me, which led to me bullying you for too long, and it has become a bit of a bad taste. That's right, that's it, it's all Nitro's fault."

After being counterattacked by Glass, she raised her fan, pouted and hit her head "hard".

I touched my hair to dispel the lingering sensation of the pat, and recalled the long speech that Nishiko had just spoken. I realized that Nishiko's speech had, without me noticing, become completely normal. There were no mispronunciations or stuttering, and the feeling of short sentences had disappeared.

The clear pronunciation with a gentle and graceful tone is full of tenderness. Now Glass is no different from a normal person.

What great news.

The two of them arrived at the riverside and saw a stall renting mats near the recommended spot for viewing the fireworks. They rented a mat, found a less crowded spot, laid it out with glass, and waited for the fireworks display to begin.

As the dusk deepened, accompanied by the sound of music echoing along the river, the fireworks display officially began.

The first to appear were the small fireworks, which sprayed like water columns, forming clusters of fireworks.

Following closely behind were the warm-up fireworks, which exploded in the sky, announcing that the fireworks show had entered its first stage.

There are regular spherical fireworks, beautiful fireworks scattered all over the sky, and fireworks with various patterns.

The two sat on the mat, listening to the sound of fireworks in the distance and admiring this fleeting beauty.

Nishimiya Glass felt the vibrations, looked at them, and listened to the continuous and unusually clear sounds.

That was the sound of fireworks that she had never heard clearly last year, the year before, or in the past.

[Fireworks, so beautiful~]

She thought silently: [The bang bang sound is like a gorgeous flower. I can see it, hear it, and be with...]

Glass looked to her side, and at the moment the fireworks exploded, light appeared on her lover's face, making everything beautiful.

She watched quietly for a long time, and after being looked at in confusion, she sat up straight with a slightly blushing face and continued to watch the fireworks.

The fleeting fireworks announce their birth and end with an explosion.

No matter whether it is a person or an object, there will always be a time to say goodbye. This can never be changed...

What is lost will never come back, so people will be sad and lament...

Nishimiya Shoko is very clear about this, so she cherishes every minute and every second she spends with her lover.

When the giant fireworks exploded, announcing that the fireworks display had entered its most exciting stage, she leaned her body slightly, moved much closer, and put her mouth next to her lover's ear.

The gentle voice was very clear and brief: "I like you."

I heard.

Looking back at her, the words were clear: "Glass, I like you too."

In Glass's eyes, besides the blooming fireworks, there is also her own figure.

He held her in his arms and kissed her gently.

The orange-red fireworks bloomed in the night, releasing instantaneous light and heat, painting wantonly on the black curtain, drawing a brilliant flower.

The fireworks display, which lasted for more than twenty minutes, ended. I held Glass's hand, got up, packed up the mat, and went to the rental stall.

The mat owner did not run away with the deposit. He took back the mat and returned the deposit.

When she was about to go home with Glass, the wind blew her hair, and her face was completely exposed with her hair half loose.

A man not far away was stunned when he saw this. He didn't pay any attention to him, passed by him, and walked away with Glass.

After being caught up, the man asked uncertainly, "Is it Nishimiya?"

He was panting, seemingly excited and in disbelief. After looking again to confirm, he unconsciously took a step back.

Nishimiya Glass was looking at him quietly, her face was very calm, no smile, no anger, just a calm expression, looking at him quietly.

It seems that he is not easy to bully.

The people watching the fireworks by the river gradually dispersed after the show ended. By the time they returned their mats, many had already left, and there was no one else where the three of them were.

After confirming it was Nishimiya, the man hesitated for a moment: "That... it's me, Nishimiya, do you still remember me?"

Nishimiya Shoko didn't say anything, she just nodded.

The man stared blankly for a while, then knelt down, placed his hands on the ground in an inward-facing "X" position, and leaned forward until his forehead hit the ground.

After he got up from his seat, he shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that Xiaozi couldn't hear him, "I'm sorry!"

Fujiwara Haru took two steps to the side. He refused to accept the gift. He had already recognized the man; after all, his hairstyle was the same as before. He looked at Naoko, wondering what she would do.

Based on my past experience with Nishiko and the fact that I guessed her reaction twice in a row, Nishiko will probably choose to forgive me.

After all, that's just how she is, gentle, easy to talk to, and easily bullied.

But no matter what, as her lover, I will support her choice.

And, I won't let her be bullied by others again.

-

Time goes back to spring.

In April 2017, when kindergarten started, Maria was also going to school this year.

This was the first time she left home and came out to interact with more children.

Maria was cheerful and happy. She didn't cry about leaving home for a day. Instead, she was looking forward to going to kindergarten. She wanted to meet more friends and play with everyone.

However, the first day was not smooth sailing, as no one wanted to play with her.

Maria did nothing wrong. She brought candy and shared it with everyone, but no one accepted it. She wanted to join in the slide, but was also rejected. She wanted to chat with others, but no one wanted to chat with her either.

She was ostracized.

The teacher said in class that everyone should be tolerant and accept people who are different from them, and not exclude Maria.

Maria is dark all over. She is a mixed-race of Japanese and Brazilian, with dark skin. She is different from the children around her.

Everyone reluctantly played with Maria for a while in front of the teacher, but after school, she instantly became alone again.

Maria was not discouraged. She decided to work hard to make friends with everyone.

But it keeps failing.

She kept trying and kept failing, until after a month, she was: fed up.

Her classmates began to bully her out of the teacher's sight. The children, who had not yet developed a sound outlook on life, bullied her together under the leadership of one or two big bosses.

Maria tried to communicate but failed.
