Daily life in Zongman

Before, Yukino Shindong might have had thoughts like "I have to wait until night, I have to say that I'm helping to maintain my physical and mental health, I have to take it slow and not be impatient", but at this moment, she no longer had these thoughts.

"Kiss me~"

She raised her head slightly and closed her eyes.

Looking at the snow girl in front of him, he picked her up. Thanks to the muscles he had trained for many years, he successfully carried her like a princess to the sofa.

He sat down, held the Snow Girl in his arms, placed one hand on the back of her head, and lowered his head.

The windows were covered in ice and snow, and the light inside the room dwindled dramatically until everything was plunged into darkness. The automatic low-light sensor came on, bringing in a hazy glow. After more than ten minutes, he picked up the snow girl's hands, which had fallen from her back onto the sofa, and carefully placed them in her arms to prevent any bumps.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked, stroking her back gently, hoping that her anxiety would calm her down.

"Hmm~" Xue No Shen Dong breathed slowly, her voice no longer as impetuous as before, returning to her usual gentleness: "I feel better~"

Seeing the Snow Girl regain her sanity, he didn't feel anything was wrong. After all, he would sometimes have his brain foggy, and the Snow Girl would also have her talents. These were all normal things. She would help him deal with them and calm his chaotic thoughts. He should also help her and let her return to normal.

If I judge others by myself, I am full of love for Yukino Fuyuki and willing to do anything for her, and Yukino Fuyuki is also willing to do anything for me. So the feelings between each other should be consistent, and she is also full of love for me. Maybe it is not all love between lovers, but it is enough.

Yukino Mito is a perfect existence. You must cherish her carefully and wait until you achieve more and become better before you confess to her seriously.

He noticed the hairpin behind her head and reached out to brush it, the gemstones colliding and making a crisp sound. In the spring, when she was tired, in the autumn, and in the summer, she dozed off, and in the winter, in the afternoon, Xue Nai Shendong leaned against her ear and whispered softly, "Let's take a nap together."

Then Sister Shendong sat on the floor in front of her. She tucked a few strands of hair behind her ears, then rested her head on her thighs and closed her eyes.

Now, she wants to take a nap at noon. I stroke her head gently, hoping that she will feel more comfortable.

Looking from above, the slightly open collar of the kimono reveals a fair neck. The icy skin and rosy lips form a sharp contrast.

Before falling asleep, I thought about the early morning of a few days ago. As I thought about it and recalled it, I roughly understood why Sister Shendong sat on the floor like a duck that morning. It would be more comfortable to sit like that.

Exquisite jewelry always brings more beauty to people. The star-shaped gemstones on the back of Sister Shendong's hairpin reflect beautiful light under the light. They are like wind chimes, swaying in the air with the wind, occasionally colliding with each other, making crisp ringing sounds.

On a winter afternoon, the sun isn't blazing, but rather gentle, like a stream. The gentle breeze, like a swimming fish, swirls around me. I lie down comfortably, feeling the warmth of the stream, like the fish swimming in it, as it brushes against my skin, swaying my hair. On this warm winter afternoon, my whole body feels lazily and perfectly at ease.

Outside the window, a sparrow was hopping on the branches, searching for something delicious to eat. Standing on the treetop, she spotted a plump caterpillar. With a gentle peck, she swallowed the delicious insect, letting out a delighted chirp.

Indoors, Sister Shendong rested her head on her thighs, her face soft and gentle. She seemed to be resting comfortably, gently rubbing her face against her thighs. Reaching out, he lifted the hair that had accidentally fallen across her face and gently placed it behind her ear.

Her hand was caught and placed on her head.

"Keep it on your head~ It'll make you feel safe and comfortable when your head is touched~"

He placed his hands on Sister Shendong's head, his fingers digging into her hair, and gently pressed her head, hoping that she would feel more comfortable.

The star-shattered gems on the hairpin swayed in the wind, and they collided with each other, making some crisp sounds.

After lunch break, we played games together in the afternoon, and after having dinner on the gourmet tablecloth in the evening, it was late at night.

In the bedroom, the phone beside the bed lit up, and a text message popped up on the screen. It was a message from the PA: "Fujiwara-chan~Are you asleep? Thank you so much for treating me to the Red and White Song Festival this time~ I'll treat you to the amusement park next week~"

Her soft white hand covered the phone screen, turned it off, and threw it aside.

"Haru-kun~Good boy, good boy~Just focus on sleeping~"

The PA on the other side of the phone screen waited for a long time, looked at the "unread" prompt on the text message, sighed, and thought that Fujiwara should be asleep.

After all, he still has classes tomorrow, unlike her who is a corporate slave and just got off work. It will probably be early morning when she gets home.

Sunday was spent in daily routine.

------

When I woke up in the morning, my bed was spotless, no wet spots or sweat stains. I had gone to the bathroom before bed last night and showered before going to bed. The water washed over me, leaving me feeling refreshed.

After getting up, I found that my body was a little lazy, but I didn’t feel any discomfort after a good sleep. I could obviously feel that my body was stronger. Maybe it was because of the practice last night?

Although the cultivation interface hasn't been opened yet, I definitely felt a scorching warmth last night, like a flame, and there was a faint sound of a phoenix chirping as it flowed. It's a bit like the internal force described in TV dramas; it appears when the body is tired, circles around the body, and then returns to the stomach.

That position should be the dantian, right?

The warm current circulates on its own, as naturally as breathing, flowing evenly and without interruption. There's no need to open up the Ren and Du meridians to get it flowing, as depicted in TV dramas. After it circulates once, my strength is restored, and I feel vaguely stronger.

The only drawback is that after each practice, the body becomes hot and unbearable, which always makes people worry about going astray.

Fortunately, I have a cold jade bed gifted by my aunt. It's said to be made from cold jade she accidentally discovered in 1991 while exploring the bitter cold of the Far North. This jade is warm, translucent, and of exceptional quality, a truly top-quality gem. Just like in "The Return of the Condor Heroes," it's an excellent tool for cultivating inner strength.

The cold jade bed has many functions, the most basic of which are two.

One is to sleep on the cold jade bed and practice for a year, which is equivalent to ten years. Because sleeping on it will make you feel extremely cold and unbearable, you need to use all your strength to resist it. Over time, it becomes a habit, and you can practice even in your dreams.

The second is to clear the mind and stabilize the nature. Cold jade is the most yin and coldest thing in the world. Sitting or lying on it will clear the fire in your heart, and you can be brave and diligent in practicing.

With this treasure, my first practice last night was a rapid improvement.

It’s a pity that the cultivation interface has not been opened yet, and I haven’t obtained any skills. If I have some skills to match, my cultivation speed will be able to reach a higher level.

Sister Shen Dong woke up very late today, just like last time, but she seemed to be in good condition after waking up. Her face was very gentle, and she had a comfortable warmth. The two of them hugged each other gently at the entrance.

"Qingjun, I've already prioritized getting rid of a small portion of the jewelry I asked you to deal with last time. I've created an account for you, and the money is in the new account. Remember to check your Line messages. I've sent it to you."

He nodded in agreement, thought for a moment as they separated, and suggested, "Sister Shendong, how about you help me with it over the weekend, and I'll help you with it on Wednesday?"

According to the teachings of Futaba, good friends should help each other, and family members should help each other even more. It is not enough for Shen Dong to help you alone, you also have to deal with it for Shen Dong.

Sister Shendong didn't reply immediately. She hugged her back and breathed slowly for a moment: "Okay~ Qingjun, I'll leave it to you on Wednesday~"

After we separated, I said goodbye to Sister Shen Dong formally in the morning: "Goodbye, Sister Shen Dong."

"Wait a moment~Wait a moment, Haru-kun~"

I have some doubts. Is there anything else?

"Um, I haven't drunk the milk this morning yet. If I don't drink it, it will be bad for my health."

I remembered that I hadn't drunk it today, and after asking Sister Shendong for confirmation last night, I also learned that it was not the milk produced by an ordinary bull monster, and perhaps it should not be called milk anymore?

"There are two servings, so drink both."

It took a few minutes to finish all the drinks for the day. Smacking my lips, my love for Yukino Shindong grew stronger.

Still wearing the same outfit as yesterday, Sister Shendong, dressed in a kimono, sat on the entrance steps. She waved lightly: "Have a safe trip, Haru-kun~"

"I am leaving."

Open the door and start a new week.

I took Glass to school at the intersection. After arriving at school, before the first class, I took out my cell phone and saw a message from PA sister.

Going to the amusement park...

After thinking for a while, he refused. Fujiwara Haru didn't like going to amusement parks.

At the same time, he remembered a promise he had made in the past: to have fun next time he went to Gancheng Brilliant Amusement Park.

Honestly, Fujiwara Haru didn't know what kind of mood he would be in when he went back in. It was very likely that he couldn't fulfill this promise, so he could only choose to escape and not go there for the time being.

I shook my head to dispel these thoughts and edited this week's to-do list on my phone's notepad.

1. Buy a house

2. Discuss with the Kendo Club Leader

3. I'll confirm Hoshino Ai's future plans and try to make up for the life she's led astray because of me. If she doesn't want to be an idol, perhaps she could try acting?

Confirm the new account balance: 1053618760 yen. It seems that Sister Shendong has deposited all the money. At the same time, the address book also has the contact information of a personal butler.

Confirm the price of a single-family house near the university you want to attend: 5000 million yen to 8000 million yen.

10.5 billion yen is more than enough to buy four houses, and you can even consider buying a bigger one with a larger yard.

When Fujiwara Haru was considering factors such as a quiet environment and convenient transportation when buying a house, he received a new Line message.

Hoshino Ai: "Since I have accepted your money and been supported by you, I also have the awareness of being supported and will do my best to be a private idol."

"Qingjun, you can arrange what I should do every day. I will do it according to your arrangement and send you the corresponding photos for confirmation."

"Here are the things you can arrange for today."

"Morning: Meditation, yoga, nap, singing and dancing practice, grocery shopping (I'm cooking my own meals today)."

"Afternoon: meditation, yoga, playing games, singing and dancing practice, going out, and providing services to my agent."

"At night: go to bed early, play games, practice singing and dancing, go out to watch a puppet show and learn, and go to the agent to provide services."

After reading Fujiwara Haru, I have many questions. Let me pick the most important one first: "Didn't you study or go to school?"

104~105. Word Games with Love

Hoshino Ai replied: "What an unexpected question. I thought you were going to ask me what services are included in the "providing services at the agent's office" section."

Type: "Ai-chan, please don't change the subject. Why isn't going to school included in your schedule?"

Hoshino Ai: "It's a bit embarrassing to see people calling me Ai-chan directly, but it should be much better after getting used to it. Haru-kun, do you want to know what services are included in the "Go to the agent to provide services" option?"

Copy and paste: "Ai-chan, please don't change the subject. Why isn't going to school included in the schedule?"

Hoshino Ai: "Warm tip: If Haru-kun arranges for me to take a nap in the morning, Ai-chan's favorability towards you will increase by 10 points, and your stress level will decrease by 10 points!"

Thinking, typing: "I always feel that expressing your true thoughts is the most effective way to communicate. It will not cause misunderstandings or accidents. If you don't want to answer, you can just say you don't want to answer. There's no need to change the subject. 墡"

"I don't need a personal idol. I don't know when this misunderstanding will be cleared up, but I won't acquiesce. I'm not supporting you, I'm making amends."

"I already understand that you don't want to be an idol. Ai-chan, you can try other things you like. I will do my best to support you. But at the same time, I hope you can study hard during this period."

"Can you tell me why you're so reluctant to talk about school? I'll try to find a solution. If you don't want to answer, just say you don't want to. I hope we can communicate honestly. Effective communication can save a lot of trouble."

Hoshino Ai: “…”

After a long interval, I received a new reply just as class was about to start.

Hoshino Ai: "This isn't a cry or a sign of weakness. It's just a response to what you just said, Haru-kun, about wanting to have a frank conversation. Since you gave me money, I will listen to you during this brief period of worry-free time."

"Next, it's the real Hoshino Ai, and some of her own stories, about her family, her friends, and Haru-kun's concerns about school and studying."

"I used to live in an orphanage. I don't know about other orphanages, but the one I lived in wasn't very good. We only had two meals a day, and we often had to work to earn food. We could only fill our stomachs on holidays. As a result, the older children would often snatch food from the younger ones. They didn't want to be robbed, so they would devour the food the moment they got it."

"It's no use telling the dean. She'll just think you're annoying. And if the adoptive family happens to be present when you complain, she'll call everyone out, then bring the complaining child to the front and ask, 'Who bullied him?' She'll give him a stern lecture in front of the adoptive family."

"You can imagine what will happen after the adoptive family leaves and the director leaves the children's sight."

“This is the environment I lived in before.”

"But that environment was much better than when I lived at home earlier."

"I can't remember why my mother beat and scolded me at home. I just remember that from a very early age, I was always beaten by my mother. She would occasionally curse me with words like "scourge" and "vixen". I didn't quite understand them at first, but after I learned what they meant..."

"It's so despairing, being treated like this by my mother, why..."

"At home, I once found glass shards in my rice. I bled profusely, but I carefully picked them out and ate them. I just remember being so hungry. So hungry. I hadn't eaten in two days, and there was no way I could be so indulgent anymore."

"I was once locked in a room for many days. I can't remember exactly how many days, nor can I remember what it felt like. Whether I hated it or didn't care, it's all very vague. But I can't forget this vague memory."

"I didn't care who my father was. My biggest wish at that time was for my mother to feel better. Because then she wouldn't be scolded, she wouldn't be beaten, and she would have some food to eat."

"That was Hoshino Ai's past, that was my past."

"As for school life..."

"Life in the orphanage is better than my life at home."

"And life at home is better than at school."

"I don't know if you understand, but remembering is a painful thing."

"I don't want to recall my time at school anymore. I don't want to go back to school. Please don't mention going to school anymore."

"..."

"Hi~hi~hi~"

"Let's not talk about such a heavy topic."

"Haru-kun, please arrange Hoshino Ai's schedule for today~ Now, everything is up to you here, Ai-chan~ As long as it's in the options, we can arrange it!"

In silence, through the words, he seemed to see himself four years ago. If he had not been adopted by Sister Shendong but went to an orphanage, if he had not gradually recovered his memories of his past life, would he be the same as her?

Fujiwara Haru didn't know, but besides the feeling of making amends, there was also a feeling of understanding for her called pity.

After careful consideration and confirmation of the future plan, he arranged today's affairs for Hoshino Ai:

Morning: Go shopping for fresh ingredients (today's meal will be cooked)
