Daily life in Zongman

Futaba closed her eyes as she felt the boy gradually quiet down beside her.

"Fujiwara."

"Ah...um..."

"Hold my hand."

"Um……"

A hand reached out from under the quilt. After sensing it touching my shoulder, I took it in my palm.

"Good night~"

There was no response from the bedroom. Futaba's mouth corners slightly raised. The three-no girl rarely showed a smile in the dim light.

108~109. A good living environment and a good character development

When I woke up in the morning, I could feel Futaba in my arms. I didn't know when she had come to the bed. It seemed that for comfort, she naturally lay on her side while sleeping, holding her in my arms.

The arm draped over her shoulder lifted, and the gray hair that had fallen on it fell under gravity, spreading across the bed. She stood up, stretched her body, and after a little refreshment, she wanted to wash up.

But this isn't my home, so I shouldn't use other people's things. By the way, those slippers from yesterday seemed to be new, so I guess I should have spares for my daily necessities.

Futaba paused, looking at Futaba who was still lying on the bed: "Futaba, do you have any spare unopened toothbrushes and towels?"

Futaba closed her eyes and breathed slowly: "..."

"Looks like I'll have to use Futaba's to wash."

"No (Da-me)." Futaba's eyes were still closed, and her tone was slightly hurried: "There is a new set in the cupboard above the sink on the first floor."

"Thank you, Futaba." He pushed the door open and walked out.

After washing up, he asked Futaba if she wanted to go to school. She refused, saying that she had taken three days off and had been lazy yesterday. Now she had to use the virtual helmet at home to further study the knowledge she had transcribed in the apocalyptic world.

After communicating and confirming that she was in a much better mood, I decided to go to school first and come to see her after school.

It is cloudy today, the sky is gloomy, and the wind on the street is cold, making people shiver when it blows on their faces.

I have to hurry to the back classroom of the school. It will be warmer there because there are more people around. It feels like it will start snowing in less than half a month, and it will be even colder then.

Halfway to school, I remembered something.

Yesterday, I only told Sister Shendong that I would not be going back to stay overnight, and did not tell Xiaozi about this.

Speaking of which, it's almost time for class now, she shouldn't be waiting there any longer...

The footsteps paused.

I could confirm it by sending a message on my phone, but if she was really still waiting, that stupid Glass would probably reply, "I'm on my way to school~ Haru-kun, see you later~" or something like that...

He stopped and started again, running quickly towards the place they had agreed on.

Ever since becoming friends with Glass in sixth grade, the two have often gone to school together, and the agreed meeting place is the intersection of their two families going to school.

It was a very ordinary street corner, with no cherry trees or bus stops, just an ordinary intersection with a convenience store and an advertising sign.

I ran over quickly and when I saw the street corner, it was already time for the first class.

People going to work have already arrived at the company, and people going to school have already arrived at school. The streets have been deserted by the morning crowds, and only the girl at the corner is still standing there quietly.

She looked towards her friend's house, waiting silently at the street corner in the cold wind.

I took out my phone and checked it. It was 9:15. She didn't send any messages to disturb me or ask, she just kept waiting.

He walked over and patted her shoulder. When she turned around, the girl's expression changed from confusion to joy.

As she turned around and the cold wind blew, her long hair fluttered in the air. The girl was delighted and spoke cheerfully, "Good morning, Jian~ Qingjun~"

He looked at her, reached out, took the schoolbag she was carrying, and then held one of her hands.

"Put your other hand in your pocket."

Glass did as she was told, then she lowered her head slightly and followed the footsteps, walking towards the school.

"Nano should be angrier." It's true that I like the docile Naoko, but I still hope she can express her dissatisfaction clearly.

"Hmm..." A thoughtful voice came from the side, followed by her answer: "It's a bit difficult..."

Looking at her, he said, "What if one day, I forget our promise and go to school by myself? You're waiting for me at the street corner, snow is falling, covering your shoulders. Your hands holding your schoolbag are already stiff, and the cold wind has been blowing for hours. I still haven't come to see you. When you give up waiting for me near noon, you arrive at school and see me happily having lunch with others. How would you feel then?"

"..." Naoko hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Noko did something wrong that day. What did you do? Did you make Qing Jun angry?"

"No."

"That's good!" Naturopathic doctor breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll be happy. I can go to school and have lunch with Haru-kun directly!"

After a moment of silence, he sighed, "Glass is just too kind-hearted, that's why she was bullied in the past."

"Well, Ariharu-kun, it's okay, I'm not afraid anymore~"

"If you keep obeying me like this, I feel like I'm going to turn into the emperor in the TV series. I'll gradually become violent and cruel, and I'll start bullying you, too."

"Oh...ah..." Glass thought for a moment and responded seriously: "Okay."

On the quiet street, I walked towards the school with Naoko. When I didn't say anything, Naoko would follow quietly beside me, silently following me without any interruption.

He pulled her closer and put her hand into his pocket so that his hand wouldn't be exposed to the wind.

The action was quick and decisive. Since Glass wouldn't object anyway, he just did what he wanted.

Looking at the occasional cars passing by on the street, he chatted with Glass: "I haven't been here for so long, Glass, you can send me a message to ask what I'm doing."

Glass spoke slowly in paragraphs, having recently been trying to correct her accent: "But, Haru-kun, you must be doing something, so you forgot. We can't disturb you."

"I'm not disturbing you. I might have simply forgotten something. Next time, just message me and ask me."

"Yeah, okay." Glass replied, memorizing it silently.

When we arrived at school, it was already break time between the first classes of the morning. The class was a bit noisy. We walked in together, responded to a few classmates who greeted us, and placed our bags on our desks. The class had randomly assigned seats, and Glass was still sitting next to us.

When I put down my schoolbag, the hand that was holding the schoolbag was held by Glass, who was sitting next to me.

She held her hand in her palm, lowered her head and blew hot air on it, rubbing it gently with her hands to quickly warm up the hand that had been in the cold wind.

It wasn't until class started that she gently touched the palms and backs of her hands with her face to make sure they were warm before turning around and starting to listen to the class attentively.

------

There was no one in the activity room today and it couldn't be opened, so I took Glass to eat on a bench in the school at noon, and took some photos and sent them to Hoshino Ai.

After eating, I hugged Glass and rested until the bell rang before going back to class.

The days became dull. After school in the afternoon, I went to the kendo club and added Kanzaki Sama's contact information. I apologized for missing practice yesterday and asked him for two days off. I still had something to do and couldn't come to practice in the past two days.

Kanzaki Sama felt a little regretful and asked to practice more with him to make up for it later. He nodded in agreement.

Send Glass home, go to Futaba's house to sit for a while, have dinner, go for a night run, drink snow milk, and sleep well after returning home.

The next day, Wednesday, we repeated the same routine of going to school, lunch, going home, going to Glass's house, going to Futaba's house, and having an oyster feast after returning home.

The only incident was when I arranged tomorrow's affairs for Hoshino Ai, and her favorability was obviously reduced.

Typing: "How come after only three days, the favorability bonus for planning a day of fun is only 5 points? This number is too unreasonable."

Hoshino Ai: "That's not unreasonable, because now the favorability has exceeded 60. 60 points of favorability is a threshold. 60-80 points of favorability will be difficult to improve, 80-90 points will be even more difficult, and the final 90-100 points of favorability are the most difficult. This step-by-step difficulty is a very common favorability setting, right? It makes a lot of sense."

It seems that because I have been playing some corresponding games specifically these days, I feel that the game settings she gave during the chat are more comprehensive.

Type: "Okay, it seems I'll just have to slowly grind my favorability from now on."

Send picture: Under the warm sunshine, a girl who just got out of school is teasing a kitten on the roadside. The girl has a smile on her face, but the kitten ignores her.

An ordinary picture of people leaving school, with the caption: "On the way home from school."

The picture received in response is: a scene showing a chapter completed in a game console.

The caption reads: "This game is fun."

The phone was taken away, the screen turned off, and thrown aside.

"Haru-kun?~ It's late, time to go to bed~"

Sleep peacefully.

Daily life afterwards.

I secretly took a photo of my teacher during class and sent it to Hoshino Ai with the caption: "Math teachers all have very little hair."

I got a reply with a picture of Hoshino loving to play games, with the caption: "This game is also very fun."

A photo of three lunch boxes was taken at noon, with the caption: "Having lunch with classmates."

I got a reply with a picture of Hoshino's favorite lunch. The food in the picture looked a little dark, and it seemed that she made it herself. The caption read: "It doesn't look good, but it tastes surprisingly delicious."

The kendo club was practicing in the afternoon. I asked Glass to help film the practice scene, with the caption "Kendo club activities, after practice, preparing to participate in the Yulong Flag Tournament at the end of the month."

I got a reply with a picture of Hoshino loving to play games, with the caption: "This game is also awesome."

a new day.

During the break, I took a picture of a sleepy Glass, captioning it: "My sleepy deskmate."

The reply was a picture of Hoshino Ai in a supermarket, with the caption: "I'm going to eat curry for lunch."

At noon, a couple was captured feeding each other, with the caption: "We're a couple in love, but we've never tried feeding each other before. I'll let Glass feed me later."

I got a reply with a picture of Hoshino enjoying lunch. The curry looked pretty good, at least it was cooked and not black. "The curry is really delicious."

Half an hour later, I typed: "Being fed doesn't feel good. It's not as comfortable as eating on my own. But Glass seems to like being fed. She ate a lot today."

After a long pause, Hoshino Ai replied, "Who is Nakako?"

Type: "My girlfriend Nishimiya Shoko is the one in the napping photo above."

No new replies since then.

I went to the Archery Club after school in the afternoon. After entering, I told them that I wanted to take some youthful and beautiful photos. The classmates in the Archery Club were very easy to talk to. They let me take the photos directly and sent them to Hoshino Ai.

In the picture, the dashing girl draws her bow and arrow, staring at the target in the distance. The wind blows past her, making her bangs flutter slightly, full of youthful vitality.

Caption: "At the Kyudo Club, we usually play until around 6pm and go home."

The reply was a picture of Hoshino Ai playing games, with the caption: "Playing games is so fun!"

I went home to sleep, and started to look at the houses I was planning to buy on the weekend. I was lucky. The order of houses I wanted to see was determined by the dice I rolled, and I found a house that suited my taste at the first place.

However, I still wanted to take a look at more houses, so I spent two days looking at all the houses I had previewed before, and finally decided to buy the first one.

The house I'm interested in is a townhouse similar to Futaba's, with its own garden and a separating wall. There are five houses in a row, and I'm ready to pay in full for one of them.

Fujiwara Haru's savings recently increased by another 1 billion yen. According to Sister Shendong, it was because the jewelry she had previously commissioned was in excellent condition. Two top-quality natural gemstones, manipulated by the Snow Woman Clan, fetched over 1 billion yen at auction. After paying taxes, her savings increased again.

It only took two days to look at houses and decide to buy one. It was my first time to experience the life of rich people, which was simple, unpretentious and boring.

The manager who showed us the villa said it would take a few days to process the contract, so we made an appointment to sign the contract next weekend.

In the new week, I continue to take photos and send them to Hoshino Ai to share my campus life.

Go to the track and field club to take pictures of classmates running, go to the light music club to take pictures of classmates playing, and go to the calligraphy club to take pictures of classmates' works.

All the replies I got were photos of Hoshino Ai playing games, and the captions were all: "Playing games is so fun!"

After practicing with Kanzaki on Friday, I came to the basketball club. There were a lot of people watching here, about the same number as in the kendo club.

Two teams were competing against each other on the basketball court. They were sweating and their clothes were soaked with sweat. As the basketball passed through the basket and hit the ground with a bang, the ball went in and scored!

After capturing the scene, he sent it to Hoshino Ai with the caption: "The basketball team's sparring session also ends around six o'clock and they go home."

Hoshino Ai replied with a photo of herself completing the game, captioned: "Complete the game! So happy playing games!"

Fujiwara Haru began to feel confused. Is it really useful for her to share like this?

Late at night, I received a message from Hoshino Ai.

"Qingjun, you can arrange what I should do tomorrow. I will still follow your instructions and send you photos of the corresponding interim results for confirmation."

"Here are the things that can be arranged for tomorrow."
