Chapter6

After returning from the cemetery, half a month had passed without being too salty or dull, and Qingsi High School ushered in the monthly exam.

When the grades came out, Kaneki, the university bully, was in the top three of his grade, needless to say; Yongjin's grades in all subjects were relatively average, ranking in the upper middle, although Jiuji was also in the top ten in age, but...

Jiuji was sweating profusely as he looked at his dismal score in ancient prose. Although other subjects raised his total score, classical Chinese in Mandarin is a compulsory course. No light.

That afternoon, Jiuji was called away by the teacher who taught ancient Chinese.The teacher with a square face rubbed his chest, and talked to him heartbroken, to the effect that Yaoshisi, you are all above 90 in other subjects, and you got full marks in English and mathematics. Why did you get such a good score in ancient prose?The fractions of other subjects add up to be higher than ancient Chinese?Do you have a problem with me?

Yuki had nothing to say.

Yaoshi Sijia doesn't believe in talent, as long as he works hard, he can do anything.But Jiuji felt that sometimes he had to believe it, because he knew nothing about Mandarin since elementary school, and his mind was completely blank after several years abroad. He could barely pass modern Chinese, but he really didn't know anything about ancient Chinese.His self-esteem did not allow him to cheat.

This exam is really too difficult.

In the end, the teacher decided to make up lessons for Jiuji, but his colleague was on a business trip, and he took the place of two grades and four classes by himself. He was so busy that he could only find a classmate with good grades to help.

When Kuji saw Shimizu and Sato volunteering to raise their hands, his head hurt. Under his murderous sight, Kaneki raised his hands tremblingly.

In all fairness, Kaneki's popularity among teachers is very good, there is no teacher who does not like good students, so in the end the teacher chose Kaneki.After class, the two of them were called away together, and they explained carefully: Yaoshisi must score 60 points in the final exam.

When he returned to the classroom, Jiuji still looked downcast, and his moans almost drowned Kaneki.

"...Don't be so desperate." The appearance was so pitiful, Jin Mu quickly comforted him. "It's only 60 points. As long as you memorize it, you can do the correct filling in the blanks and silent writing, and get the basic score for reading comprehension. After that, as long as you write enough words in the composition, you don't digress...don't look at me like this."

"How am I looking at you?"

"It's like trying to swallow me alive..."

Jiu Ji showed a harmless smile, "Your delusion."

Kaneki dug out his notes, "This is for you."

Jiuji took it over and flipped through it. There were only a dozen pages when he was absent due to stomach problems, and after half a month, there were only a few blank sheets of paper left.Looking at the densely packed words, and the different colored pens marking different points, he felt his eyes hurt after flipping through two pages hastily.

"Thank you in advance."

"As long as you memorize more ancient prose and classical knowledge points, you won't fail."

Kuji glanced at Kaneki and sighed again. "If I know where the knowledge points are, I won't memorize them without a clue." What's more, he can't memorize ancient prose at all.

Jin Mu was speechless, and suggested for a long time: "How about you give me the book, and I'll mark it for you."

Jiuji shook his head, Kaneki has a part-time job and homework, and it is very strenuous just to keep busy with his own affairs, so he should not trouble him any more.Moreover……

"If this is the same as Japanese history, I can pass the exam by rote memorization, and I will not be reduced to this point. I am not suitable for reading comprehension, nor for writing. The number of words is already the limit."

"How about..." Kaneki hesitated for a moment, looked at Jiuji cautiously, began to pinch his trouser legs with his hands, and glanced wildly. "I don't have a part-time job tomorrow, tomorrow night. After my part-time job in the restaurant is over, um...do you want to come to my house? That's, just tutoring. I can find you some reading and composition questions...it will be better if you do it step by step. "He was a little incoherent, and the more he talked, the more he felt that this invitation would be very frivolous.He had only one friend, Ying, and they had grown up together since they were young, and they talked about everything, so it was the first time to formally invite other people to come to the house like this.

Hearing this, Jiu Ji thought about it and thought it was a good idea.It just so happened that he also wanted to talk to Jin Mu alone. "Excuse me then. You live with your aunt and cousin, don't you?"

"Yeah." Thinking of his aunt's rotten vegetable leaf face after the results of this exam came out, Kaneki couldn't help restraining the smile on his face.He felt that it was necessary to remind Jiuji, "Well, my aunt may be a little... a little fussy, please bear with me, Yaoshiji."

"I will." Jiu Ji smiled meaningfully.

The next day, Kyuki greeted Suyagawa, and went to school under his watchful eyes.After school, he still ate dinner in Huajian, and solved his homework by the way, until Kaneki got off work.

Kaneki changed back to his school uniform, and when he stepped out of the store, he saw Jiuji standing under a telephone pole not far away, with the blinding Rolls Royce parked beside him.Jiu Ji was bending over to talk to a fat man in the driver's seat. The man took two bags from the passenger seat and handed them out through the window.

Jinmu walked over. "Long wait. This is?"

"Meeting ceremony." Jiu Ji said.

Kaneki recognized at a glance which brand the two prominent logos on the bag belonged to. Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig run?That is a very famous women's clothing and wagashi brand in Japan.

He asked himself yesterday if anyone in the family wanted to buy gifts?

Kaneki tried to get Jiuji to take the things back, but failed, and he carried him all the way to the door of the house, so he had to give up.

Kaneki's aunt got married and her surname was Asaoka. She had an only son named Asaoka Yuichi, who did not do well in school, and Kaneki who got good grades became "other people's child", but Mrs. Asaoka was angry. It's not that her son doesn't live up to expectations, but that Jin Mu is too good... She is not as smart as her sister, and without her marrying well, even her children are not as good as hers...

These are the results of Suyagawa's investigation.

With Jiuji's previous temper, if she doesn't ruin her family, she won't be the medicine master temple who must pay every penny.But in the end it is Jin Mu's last relative, some things are still for him to decide.

It was not yet the time for the head of the Asaoka family to leave work, so the door was opened by Aunt Asaoka, a tall and thin woman with loose hair, high cheekbones and thin lips. She looked mean.She has a dark face, not to mention Kaneki who has lived with her aunt for several years, even Jiu Ji who met for the first time can see that she is very unhappy now.

Only then did Kaneki realize that today is the day when his cousin's school exam results are released.

He really wanted to pat himself on the head to see if there was any water, and he was busy looking for time when he didn't have a part-time job... Well, it seems that Youyi-kun is still doing badly in the exam.

Auntie Asaoka gave Kaneki an unpleasant look, and then looked at Kuki from top to bottom with her eyes like looking at goods.Kaneki felt very embarrassed, and wanted to move his body to block his aunt's view, but Jiuji grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.

Kaneki struggled subconsciously when Jiuji's hand was frozen, but he couldn't break free at all... He looked at Jiuji's hand in surprise.His wrist was clearly a circle thinner than his own, but his hand grasped his wrist like a pair of iron pliers, with incredible strength.

Hisaki pulled Kaneki apart, his back straightened, and his separated feet naturally took a forward step. Just a casual stance showed the confidence and frankness of a young man.The blue cat's eyes are slightly closed, exuding a natural noble temperament from the inside out.

"Good day, Mrs. Asaoka, my name is Yakushiji Hisaki, the second in line heir to the Yakushiji chaebol, and a friend of Kaneki-san. I was invited by Kaneki-san today, and I came here to bother you. A small gift, no respect."

----

Until Jinmu sat down in Jinmu's room and sent away the aunt who brought snacks and drinks, Jinmu didn't react a little.

It's not that he didn't bring Yongjin to play before, not to mention the snacks and drinks, the aunt's face is as long as a shoehorn, if Yongjin hadn't gotten used to it, he would have died of embarrassment.

And he had never seen his aunt show such a kind and kind smile to anyone except Yuichi-kun.

"Come back to your senses." Jiuji pushed away the cheap senbei on the low table with one hand in disgust, and waved the other hand in front of Kaneki's straight hair.

Kaneki blinked and responded blankly, Jiuji put the schoolbag on his lap and began to turn over, and at the same time asked Kaneki to lock the door behind him.

Kaneki was baffled but still followed suit. When he came back, he saw Jiuji take out a blue folder from his bag.

His serious look at this moment is very similar to the appearance when he was talking about his mother with him at that time, it seems that there is nothing serious to talk about.Kaneki couldn't help but straighten his back and sat down neatly.

Jiuji pushed the folder over, Kaneki took it suspiciously, flipped through it casually, and found that there were dozens of sheets of paper in it, all densely written.

"This is?"

"Documents for the appeal." Jiu Ji took a sip of his drink, his teeth gritted from the ice, so he decisively threw it aside with the senbei, and refused to touch it again.He cleared his throat and said; "I asked my lawyer, because my aunt voluntarily helped her sister, so the crime of extortion cannot be established, and the client has passed away, so it is very difficult to prosecute, so I still want to start from the violation. It's better to start an appeal for other property crimes."

Jin Mu was stunned for a long time before he realized it. He lowered his head and flipped through it again. This time, he took a quick look at the content. They were all legal provisions, detailed and detailed, and the contact method of the lawyer.

Jiuji licked his dry lips and continued: "After your mother passed away, her house should be inherited by you. Even if you were adopted by your aunt without the ability to live on your own, she is not qualified to handle the house privately, let alone The money from the sale was not recorded in your name at all. Which lawyer handled the estate after your mother died? Isn’t you the owner of the house? Did you know that the house was handled by the intermediary? Come and show me, you are the head of the household but let your aunt deal with it? I will take them to court together!" At the end, he wanted to slap the table.

"Wait, wait—wait, wait!!" Realizing what Kuji was about to do, Kaneki panicked.He put down the document, and he didn't know where to put his hands, so he kept waving them. "Wait a minute, Yaoshisi...you are, do you want me to sue auntie?"

"Otherwise?" Jiuji's slender eyebrows furrowed.

"I, I..." Jin Mu stammered for a long time, blushing, finally shook his head vigorously, and said firmly, "No, I don't want it."

"Kaneki, are you serious?" Jiuji's brows became more and more wrinkled.

Some words, such as "This woman indirectly killed your mother", don't say it out of sadness and hurt your liver and feelings, he focused on saying: "Your mother's house, your former home, was just like this. People who even enter casually can be counted as illegal trespasses are sold as private property, and nothing is left for you, are you willing?"

"..." Kaneki was silent for a long time this time, but in the end, he stretched out his hand and pushed the documents on the table back to Jiuji. "I'm sorry, but I still can't do it... appeal to my aunt or something."

"..." Jiuji looked at Kaneki with a monster-like gaze. "Kimu, are you sure?"

He likes Aunt Jinmu very much, but he doesn't agree with her principle of being too kind.The Yaoshi Temple family is a family of merchants. In his opinion, many of Aunt Jinmu's actions, including Jinmu's decision now, are unreasonable.

The Yaoshi Temple family eats everything, but they don't suffer.

"Yes." Kaneki looked at Jiuji seriously, and said firmly: "My mother left me not only the house, but also what she taught me... It doesn't matter even if I suffer, as long as a gentle person is like this I am happy. Rather than hurting others, I would rather be hurt."

Jiuji's mouth opened and closed again, shock can no longer describe his mood at this time.

Even though he has never experienced Aunt Jinmu's principles of handling things, he has learned a little bit through the materials.That is indeed a gentle person, he likes her very much, but he has never received such an education.

If everyone in the Yaoshisi family was like this, the Yaoshisi chaebol would have been eaten up by demons and monsters long ago; Not those annoying uncles and cousins, but themselves.

Jiuji was silent for a long time, and he still transformed the ugly words that he wanted to blurt out just now: "Kaneki, not everyone in this world can repay your tenderness with the same kindness. There is no truly selfless person in the world. People, if you want to treat others gently, you must first learn to protect your own rights. Be selfish when you should be selfish, and being stingy is not a shortcoming.”

Jin Mu was silent for a long time, and then said in a very small voice: "...I see."

"..." You know what a fart.

Seeing the way Kaneki frowned and pursed his lips, Jiuji knew that he hadn't listened, so he exploded rudely in his heart.

He looked at Kaneki, but Kaneki kept his head down, leaving only one black hair. Xuan Jiuji never felt that his mushroom head was so unpleasant, and he really wanted to remove his hair.

"...Since you have decided, I won't say more." In the end, it was Jiu Ji who broke the strangely long silence between the two.He put the documents on the table and sorted them out before taking them back into the bag. "If you want to change your mind, come to me at any time. Whether it's for your aunt or you, I will help you to the end."

Kaneki just nodded, still didn't say a word, and didn't look up, as if he wanted to see a flower on the table.

"..."

Seeing that Kaneki didn't intend to speak actively, Jiuji didn't want to let himself speak first.

He suddenly felt that maybe he and he were not suitable to be friends.

Think about how many times you've fallen into awkward silence when talking to him now that you've known him.He is not an enthusiastic person at all, and Jin Mu is very introverted. When these two personalities are together, they are basically on the verge of embarrassment every day.

Now, there is only silence between them.

Suddenly, Kuji felt a little cold.

Although he has no intention of becoming the heir of the Yaoshi Temple, under the years of elite education in businessmen and the influence of his father and brothers, he has already been infected with the selfishness and profiteering of businessmen in his bones.

Kaneki's appearance of being silent and refusing to communicate... Did he see his true nature and started to hate him?

The thought made Kyuki shudder.He thought that he would make real friends in Japan, not because of "Yakushiji" or "Yakushiji Kyuki", but because of "Kyuki", they would become friends.

If it is just this that makes Jinmu feel that he is not easy to associate with, then it is more terrifying than this selfish and self-interested character, the real self... How can he accept it?

[Hey, did you hear that?The third young master of the Yaoshi Temple family seems to be... tsk tsk, it's terrible...]

Jiuji stretched out his hands to grab the clothes on his chest, and felt that everything around him disappeared, and he could only hear the immature child's voice speaking the devil's words in his ears, which the adults avoided, the disgusted and fearful eyes and sharp chasing and cursing.

[Stay away from my children!You monster! ]

The unbearable memories haunted him like a nightmare, and Jiuji immediately felt that it became difficult to breathe, his lungs were clamoring for air, but his throat seemed to be blocked by a stone and he couldn't get in at all.

For a moment, he seemed to be back at that time——

[Why, why is it just me...why do I want to...]

In the cold and depressing room like a prison, young children hugged their knees with their small hands bound by magnetic buckle straps, curled up in the corner, sobbing like a milk cat from time to time, and tears fell like broken beads.

I saw that the ground and surrounding walls of this room were scattered with potholes that seemed to be smashed by some heavy objects.The one-way mirror occupying the entire north wall reflects his small figure. On the other side of the mirror, there are foreigners with deep eye sockets and high nose bridges walking back and forth. The pale white coats echo the cold room.

After an unknown amount of time, the locked door beeped to allow passage. Following the small sound of the machine's operation, a handsome man in an electric wheelchair slid in alone.A few tall men in protective suits nervously tried to follow in, but he stopped them with a wave of his hand.

[Ji Jun, stop here.we go home. ]

The boy backed away like a startled rabbit until his back was against the wall. [No...Father, don't come here, I don't want to...! ]

The boy's messy red hair was covered with thick palms, and the father's deep and powerful voice echoed in his ears: [Ji Jun, the reason why your hands, feet and body are faster and faster than anyone else, is faster than anything else. Sharper and stronger because you have someone to protect. ]

[Your strength is used to protect important people.Be it family or friends, there may be someone you like in the future. ]

[This is by no means a curse, but a gift from the gods. ]

—Calm down...Calm down!

Jiuji lowered his head, and bit his lip hard. Just when his teeth were about to pierce the skin, a soft voice broke Jiuji's blood red eyes.

"That... thank you, Yakushiji."

Jiuji was stunned for a while, and when the veins on his arms gradually faded away, he raised his head pretending to be calm and looked up, caught off guard, and fell into a bright and gentle gray-black, like a gentle spring breeze, blowing the glacier-like hostility in his eyes And the gloom melted inch by inch.

"What I mean is..." Kaneki scratched his face shyly, his shiny gray-black eyes also looked at the tatami mat with some embarrassment, the corners of his mouth curled up full of sincerity and gratitude.Such a clean smile made Jiuji feel dazzled.

"It's the first time...someone will think about me. Thank you for doing so much when I didn't know."

"..."

There was no response from the other side for a while, Kaneki peeked nervously, and found that Jiu Ji's eyes were covered by bangs, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"That... Yaoshi Temple, are you angry?"

In fact, just Jiuji's kindness is very useful to him.But he still couldn't do it. Although the aunt had more problems, she still gave him a shelter and dragged him to such an extent.

If this prosecution is only for him to take back his mother's house, of course he will agree, and he will even take the initiative to ask Jiuji for help in the lawsuit.But no, as long as he nods, Jiuji will sue in his name. He didn't look carefully just now, but he knows that the crime of embezzling other people's property is not just a fine and compensation. If the crime is true, aunt or even uncle will act All the accomplices will go to prison, what will happen to her son then?

Losing his parents, the feeling of being alone, it was enough for him to try on his own.

Not to mention that Jiu Ji is going to sue not only the aunt's family, but also those lawyers and real estate agents who are negligent in their duties.A fine can be fined, a license can be revoked, or a prison sentence can be severe.

He will take back what originally belonged to him, and even get a lot of compensation, but at that time, it will not only hurt one person.

It's just that Jiuji has been wronged.With such detailed legal documents and sufficient preparation, it can be seen that he has put a lot of thought into it.He probably didn't expect that he would refuse directly.

Kaneki carefully looked at Jiu Ji, trying to discern his emotions from the curvature of his lips.His and Jiuji's completely different principles of handling things are one aspect, but he has no room for detours and refuses Jiuji's kindness.

"...Hey..." Finally, Jiu Ji raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, then heaved a long sigh. "What's the use of being angry, can I tie you up and force you to sign the document, and then force you to sue?"

"Ah...haha..." Kaneki grinned dryly.But judging from Jiuji's straightforward and straightforward character, he won't be angry after saying this. "That, ah!" He flicked his eyes to find a topic. "By the way, you have a bad stomach, so you don't want to drink cold drinks, right? I'll get you a hot cup of milk."

"...Thank you." Jiuji took out the Mandarin book from his schoolbag, and pretended to be preparing for tutoring, implying that the topic of prosecution was over in this way.Seeing this, Kaneki stood up and prepared to go out, but was suddenly stopped by Jiuji.

"Kinmu...is what he said just now true?"

"Huh?" Jiuji's topic jumped too fast, and Kaneki didn't react.

"It's just... I'm the first person to do this to you—these words."

Kaneki blushed immediately, unable to utter a word, just nodded vigorously.

Jiuji blurted out: "Then your childhood was too miserable."

"..."

#药师寺君,Sometimes you will be beaten if you are too honest#

"Oh, I'm sorry, I said it a bit too much." Seeing Kaneki's expressionless face, Jiuji quickly covered his mouth. "I mean, it wasn't easy when you were a kid."

#You still shut up#

Kaneki had the urge to gag his mouth with senbei.

"...cough." Jiu Ji also knew that he was blind and deaf, "I'm thirsty, you go quickly."
