Daily life in Zongman

Beneath the boy's sunny appearance, he actually hides a dark desire for revenge. How could an abandoned child not care about his past experiences?

But his revenge was limited to telling his ex-parents about his achievements and making them regret it. He did not mention any of his experiences of being abandoned, nor did he take any direct revenge measures. Instead, he simply made himself better to achieve his "revenge."

In Xuesha's opinion, this level of revenge seems a bit "childish" and cute.

She sighed and didn't go talk to Yukino for the time being. Instead, she started contacting the members of the action team. Since the boy had chosen this method of revenge, she wouldn't do anything more. She would find the boy's parents and send them abroad.

She would not create any more trouble, nor did she want the boy to be depended on by those bad parents again, so the best option was to make them disappear from the boy's world.

While dealing with this matter, she recalled her previous conversation with Yukino, in which she said the boy was 15 years old. After returning, she looked up the boy's information and found that he was 13. As a fellow snow girl, she could understand Yukino's behavior, but she still hoped she could exercise some restraint. She also helped her process the identity information modification.

A 13-year-old genius boy, as the adopted son of the Snow Woman, must not be lured away by others. How can we help the homebody Snow Woman keep this treasure?

Hey! Got it! As long as Yukino stays with the boy every day, no one else can dig her away!

Then the family resources will be tilted towards Yukino. Taking care of Yukino means taking care of Fujiwara Haru. Stabilizing Yukino means stabilizing the talented young man.

Xuesha thought about the problem from the perspective of a snow girl and instantly found a solution that suited the characteristics of a snow girl.

She began to contact her leader, saying that this matter needed to be negotiated and arranged by someone with a higher status.

Originally, Yukino's job was to deal with evil spirits and demons in a nearby area under the command of the Supernatural Management Bureau, ensuring the safety of residents. She typically worked two or three shifts a month, earning a monthly salary of 2 yen. According to Yukisa, she would often leave late at night to handle her work.

How can this be possible? Late nights are crucial time, and we can’t waste it on work anymore. We must let Yukino spend more time with the boy, especially late at night!

Just assign Yukino's job to someone else, let Yukino quit her job and become a full-time housewife and stay at home. Anyway, based on the experience of Yukisa's long-time friends, the homebody Yukino will definitely be very happy about this.

Yukino Shendong is truly the ultimate homebody, a snow girl who stays at home as long as possible. She chooses Mondays, when there are the least people around, to cook and buy ingredients. She buys a ton at once and then uses her ability to freeze them to keep them fresh. Then she never goes out again that week.

Xuesha sighed that Xueno was so lucky that she could pick up such a talented adopted son when she was in a good mood and went out.

After working overtime until late at night and finishing all her tasks, Xuesha tiredly sent a message to Xueno: [Homegirl Xueno, hurry up and say thank you to Sister Xuesha.]

In the villa in the afternoon, Yukino Shindong was sitting on the sofa hugging a pillow, her face full of joy as she watched her lover on the live TV screen.

"Come on, come on, come on, Haru-kun, come on~"

"I won~ Great~ Haru-kun is the best!"

Since there was no one at home, Yukino Fuyu shouted happily and freely. She watched her lover on the TV take off his helmet and bury his face in the pillow.

The pillow came from her lover's bedroom, and there was still some of her lover's scent on it. Yukino's breathing became faster and faster in the deep winter, and her eyes became more and more blurred.

Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, your lover will be home soon.

She felt her sanity was on the line, but she held on. The eight-day wait was about to end.

As to why it's not a 15-day wait.

On the seventh day after her lover left home, Yukino Shindong became worried about her lover's safety, so she followed him secretly and replenished the energy of the pendant.

Your lover will come directly back on a later flight, right away, later, just wait a little longer.

Yukino Shindong restrained her hands and decided to wait until her lover came back and continue to replenish the energy of the pendant until it overflowed.

Futaba slid her thumb down from the top of her phone, refreshing her Line message list. On the main interface, a chat box with a cat avatar was pinned to the top.

No new messages were received. I waited for a while, but still no messages.

Click on the cat avatar, and you will see the latest two historical messages:

[I found a delicious grilled eel restaurant and ordered three servings. I ate Futaba's portion.]

【Emoji: You are so annoying】

Returning to the main interface, Futaba placed her phone on the table and continued to deal with her own affairs. She rarely sent messages on her own initiative, usually replying after receiving a message.

Ten minutes later, Futaba's hands were drumming on the table.

Another ten minutes later, Futaba began tapping her feet impatiently.

Ten minutes later, Futaba breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go out for a walk.

The phone beeped, it was the special message reminder she set.

I picked up my phone, and on the screen that was still on was the latest cat news: [Futaba! I won the championship!]

Futaba tapped on the virtual keyboard: [You're telling everyone you won the championship? Stupid Fujiwara, you're still as fond of showing off as ever.]

Cat: [It's mainly about sharing, but I also feel a bit of a sense of bragging. I won, so happy! I brought you a special gift, look forward to it!]

Typing: [Ah, as expected of you, idiot Fujiwara, thinking of buying souvenirs from tourist cities. Don't you know that souvenirs are used to harvest tourists?]

Cat: [But after trying it, I felt that this specialty was great. It tasted very good.]

Type: [I take back what I said. It's not "idiot Fujiwara," it's "empty-headed Fujiwara." You can buy edible local specialties online, right? Paying more for them locally just for the name of a specialty is pure idiocy.]

Cat: [QAQ, Futaba is being really sharp-tongued today. I bought some souvenirs mainly because I wanted to give her a gift since we haven't seen each other for a long time, so that she would be happier when we meet.]

Futaba paused while typing and skipped the topic: [I'm busy, is there anything else?]

Cat: [That’s all. See you tomorrow, Futaba.]

Futaba waited for a while, turned off the screen of her phone and put it back in her pocket. She became even angrier, but this time she was angry at herself.

Still in the villa, Hoshino Ai was watching the boy being interviewed on the live broadcast screen.

The young man was wearing a kendo uniform, with a handsome face under his fine hair. He was smiling, and his every move revealed confidence as he stood in front of the camera.

The heroic young man was her favorite Ah P.

She decisively picked up the phone and typed.

Congratulations to Ah P on winning! ~ Come back and visit Ai-chan later. Ai-chan can give Ah P some rewards~]

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the cat avatar said: [Thank you for your blessing, but I don’t need the reward.]

Hoshino Ai thought for a moment and typed: [Okay, then, A-P, when will Ai-chan's latest device arrive? I want to get familiar with computers first. I've barely used one before.]

[I'll contact you later to see if the PA is free tomorrow. If she is, I'll go over and help with the installation.]

Hoshino Ai looked at the PA sister in the new message, clicked her tongue lightly, and decided to look for an opportunity tomorrow depending on the situation.

-

Cat: [Good afternoon, PA sister. If you are free tomorrow, could you come and help me install the live streaming equipment I ordered earlier?]

PA-san's eyes lit up when he looked at the message on his phone.

She still remembered the live broadcast scene just now. After defeating all opponents in a row, the boy took off his helmet, and the wind blew across his face, lifting his bangs slightly.

He was truly a young man of great vigor and vitality, who had already perfectly suited her preferences, and now he had won the title of the first place in the national kendo competition.

PA-san thought for a moment and replied: [Sister is free tomorrow, but I have a lot of live broadcast equipment. I'll come to her house this afternoon to help move it.]

Cat: [Sure, PA sister, please send me the address.]

A slight smile appeared on her face, and her forked snake tongue stuck out and licked her lips lightly.

School ended early on Friday. Miki Kawai did not participate in club activities today and returned home early.

She watched the live broadcast on TV, from the first game of the exhibition match to the last game, then the interview, until it finally cut back to the live broadcast room and the host announced the end of the program.

Miki Kawai turned off the TV and went to the balcony.

If I had not played the role of a model student but worked hard to become one, would the result have been different?

she does not know.

But there is one thing she can be sure of: the man who amazed her in the past will have nothing to do with her in the future.

Such sad news...

Miki Kawai looked at the scenery in the distance. The winter sun disappeared earlier and had already dyed half the sky red.

When I go to high school next year, I will join the student union and work hard to do something practical.

In the piano room, as the piano music gradually subsided, Katsura Kotonoha stood up, bowed to the teacher, and expressed her gratitude.

After saying goodbye to her teacher, today's piano lesson ended and she had a short rest before dinner.

Pulling out her phone, she clicked on the news she was following most closely, confirming a new piece of news: The strongest junior high school student in history, Fujiwara Haru, won the National Kendo Championship and gave an interview: "..."

Katsura Kotonoha blinked and memorized the birthday information.

Three years ago, after they parted on that day, she had always wanted to meet again and once again solemnly thank the boy who saved her.

Unfortunately, when I asked my mother, she always asked me not to ask, and I couldn't find any information when I searched on my own, so I could only keep this matter in mind.

Until a few days ago, I heard a familiar name at school: the general of Tanigawa Junior High School - Fujiwara Haru.

Classmates discussed him, admired him, circulated his photos, and collected news about him. From their conversations, Katsura Kotonoha learned the latest news about her beloved.

But this is not enough. The information learned through gossip is far from enough.

Gui Yanye wanted to know which university he would choose, wanted to know the details of his life, and wanted to understand his preferences.

After confirming that she had enough pocket money, she tried to post a reward and help post online.

"Excuse me, what book was Fujiwara-kun reading at the competition?"

She wanted to know her sweetheart better.

Perhaps because everyone on the Internet was discussing it at the moment, her post received a reply quickly.

Reply: [There's not much footage of the Strongest General reading a book live, just two blurry screenshots. The first is from the afternoon of the fourth day, when the camera scanned the screen. You can confirm that the cover of the book has a picture of a man and a woman, with the two large characters "love." The second is from the fifth day, when the Strongest General took the stage, placing the book on a chair. It's too far away to make out, but you can confirm the five characters on the spine.]

Reply: [Combining these two clues, there is only one book that meets the requirements.]

Reply: ["Love Metronome"]

Chapter 124 The late-night restaurant that is about to go bankrupt.

The moon rose along with the stars. It was late at night. A shop in the alley opened its door and lit up its sign, starting its business for the day.

The owner of the late-night restaurant wiped the tables and tidied up the place. He then draped a white towel over his shoulders and turned on the TV to the nightly news, watching while waiting for customers to arrive.

The shop isn't large, consisting of a concave-shaped table. Outside the concave is where customers eat, while inside is where the owner prepares the food. The decor is minimal: a potted plant, a clock, two murals, a few posters, and a recently purchased secondhand TV in the corner.

People who work overtime until late at night began to appear on the streets one after another. They are all senior office workers. Before going home from get off work, they would usually have some midnight snack nearby and then go back home to rest.

The first person to arrive at the Midnight Diner was a young girl. It's not quite right to call her a girl, as she's actually been working as a social animal for a long time. Her petite figure, twin ponytails, and baby-face made her look even more JK-like than a JK, quite adorable.

"Boss, two hamburgers and a glass of hot wine."

The office girl is very happy today and decides to drink some wine with her favorite hamburger meat.

The girl who looked like a JK was already 20 years old and a mature adult. She did not drink juice at the party, but drank some wine with everyone, but her alcohol tolerance was not high.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The boss melted the butter on the stove inside the bar, patted the meatballs into pancakes, and then fried them in a frying pan.

A girl named Suzukaze Aoba sat at the bar, looking at the TV which was broadcasting today's daytime news.

...The fighting in the region ceased today, and both sides plan to sign a ceasefire agreement.

An animal once thought to be extinct has recently been spotted again in the mountains.

Recently, a legislator proposed to improve the various drawbacks in the medical system, and proposed to solve the problem of high-intensity labor and low wages for Chinese medicine and nursing staff...

"Sorry for the long wait, here are your hamburgers and hot wine."

The still steaming hamburger meat was placed in front of Liangfeng Qingye. Along with the sauce that was still flowing, the visible aroma penetrated her nose, whetting her appetite.

She clasped her hands together devoutly: "I'm starting!"

She then picked up the burger patty with chopsticks, blew on it, and took a bite, the juices gushing out. The overflowing meaty aroma mixed with the sweetness of onions, the soft texture, and the rich flavor greatly relieved her fatigue from working overtime late into the night.

Liangfeng Qingye took a bite of the hamburger meat, picked up the hot wine and took a sip. Then he relaxed his shoulders, raised his head slightly, and exhaled: "Cha~ Delicious~"

"Boss, your hamburger meat is as delicious as ever!"

"Give me more compliments."

The boss smiled. He had opened this late-night restaurant to heal those who came home late. By using delicious food and a warm atmosphere, every tired person could find some relaxation and healing.
