Chapter7

After drinking the hot milk, Jiuji started copying notes with a round milk beard, and asked questions when he encountered any problems. Kaneki paid attention to him while doing homework. The atmosphere in the small room was quite harmonious, and it was Kaneki who watched His milk mustache is a little itchy.

Until eight o'clock in the evening, it was dark outside, and Jiuji left with a set of reading questions compiled by Kaneki.

Asaoka's house is quite out of the way. Kaneki offered to send Kuji a distance, but Kuji didn't refuse.He contacted the driver to wait on the main road outside the residential area.

Jiuji put on his shoes, but Kaneki, who was changing shoes together, was called away by his aunt in a rare and nice manner, and was replaced by Asaoka Yuichi, who persistently talked to him, twittered, and chatted. .

Jiuji didn't have much patience with that woman. Her son was like his mother. Leeches would stick to him whenever he smelled blood. It was disgusting.

Kuji patiently chatted with Asaoka Yu for a few words, then politely said goodbye, and went out to wait outside.The boy didn't know whether he was really short-sighted or thick-skinned, but he was about to chase him out with his shoes on. Jiuji wanted to push him directly off the balcony in the corridor.

Fortunately, Kaneki came out before Jiuji broke out, and his face was not very good-looking.His aunt is really capable of making such a soft and sweet person show obvious anger.Jiu Ji slandered.The son is so pissed, it is obvious what the mother will say to Kaneki.

Kaneki sent Jiu Ji to the intersection that he had agreed with the driver, but he didn't see the car.Jiuji turned on his mobile phone and called to ask, Xiaolin sweated profusely and said that there was a traffic jam on the road, please wait a little longer, master.Jin Mu put his hands in his pockets and waited with him, and by the way, he had a short chat with his family.I made an appointment for the next tutoring session, but the location was set at Jiuji's house.

Jiuji said euphemistically: "My acting skills can no longer withstand my temper."

Jin Mu laughed and said that he was going to move out after the holiday.

Jiuji remembered that he was working part-time, "Did you already have this plan?"

"Hmm...Junior high schools don't allow part-time jobs, so I don't act until I graduate."

Jiuji understands his idea of ​​wanting to move out early, that family is too much a test of patience. "Is there an apartment you fancy?"

"There are some, but I haven't made a decision yet." Jin Mu said: "After graduating from high school, I want to go to college, so I want to choose a place close to my future university in the apartment."

High school in Japan is a transition point in life for all students.Those who have studied well will choose to continue their studies, while most others find a job after graduation, or just muddle along in society.Jiu Ji naturally belongs to the second type, and it is the second type with a background.After finishing high school and getting a degree, he can go directly to work in his company.It's a pity that Kaneki didn't study well in this way, but he didn't go to university, but the tuition fee of university is not affordable for ordinary families, not to mention that he can't support himself now.

"Which university do you want to go to?" Jiuji asked.

Kaneki said the names of several universities, and Kuji heard "Shangjing".He called a timeout, "Shangjing is a good college."

Jinmu's thoughts immediately diverged, "Could it be, is that the university of the Yaoshisi family?"

"Where are you thinking?" Jiu Ji resisted not rolling his eyes. "It's my elder brother's alma mater. He went to it when he was 16 and graduated after only one year." If he was going to university, he would probably go to this school.

Uejing is a first-class university in Tokyo, a comprehensive prestigious institution with both liberal arts and sciences.Its teaching quality and international environment are well-known in Japan, and it is recognized as a very prestigious first-class private university in Japan.

Jiu Ji said: "It's just my personal suggestion, you can try this university."

Kaneki was curious, and Jiuji told him that this school has a good scholarship system from the beginning of enrollment, not only will there be a large amount of tuition exemption, but also a large amount of scholarships for good students who are struggling.

Jin Mu's eyes lit up immediately. "I'll check it out when the admissions season is over."

Jiuji nodded, took out his mobile phone, tapped, and sent an email to Kaneki.Jin Mu opened it and saw it was an address. "here it is?"

"An apartment near the well," said Kuki.

"This is—" Kaneki began to think again.

"Unfortunately, this is not my family's business either." Jiuji ruthlessly added to his imagination, and he said amusedly: "Yaoshisi's family is engaged in electronic products and food, not education and real estate. Do you think that Yaoshi Is the power of the Temple Zaibatsu spread across all walks of life in Japan?"

Jin Mu laughed, rubbed his nose and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I've only seen Mr. Chaebol in TV dramas, movies and novels before. I feel like I have everything. It's amazing."

Jiuji couldn't help laughing, "Stop reading that kind of stuff. It's all fabricated by those writers." He thought for a while, and then said, "Don't treat me like a young master, it's ironic."

"Ah... I'm sorry, does such a thought make you unhappy?" Kaneki immediately apologized guiltily.

"No. It's just..." Jiuji looked at the vehicles coming and going on the road, and the green cat's eyes reflected the colorful lights, which were amazingly bright. "I'm just a normal person, that's all."

——That's right, I'm an ordinary person, not some... monster.

He repeated silently in his heart.

Kaneki looked at Jiu Ji whose eyes were a little straight, obviously the young man had no expression on his face, but he felt that he was wandering for no reason, with invisible panic and lingering sorrow.

----

Mandarin, especially ancient Chinese, is simply born to destroy brain cells. Jiuji studied for a week in a daze. By the time Kaneki came to his house to give him tutoring, Jiuji had almost forgotten what Kaneki said last week. Yes, he remembered how he did the gold and wood inspection during the break, and was repelled by his three "ah?"

After being ridiculed by Yongjin, Jiuji made a silent note of him.

I heard that Kaneki will go to Jiuji's house to give him tutoring today, and the word "Yongjin envy" is written in his eyes. Whether the Yakushiji family leaves the main house or the sub-house, it is Oufeng.This time it is really the same as in the TV series - that kind of big and beautiful big villa.He has long wanted to visit Jiuji's house.Reluctantly, today there is a department that forces all staff to be present.The president of Yongjin's club is Qingsi, who is famous for his disdain for hard and soft, and doesn't give anyone face.If you dare to be absent from work, you can make you want to fly up on the spot.

Jiuji dug out the small notebook in his heart, and told Yongjin very regretfully: "What a pity, today I specially invited a three-star chef from a Michelin restaurant to cook dinner, and I also asked someone to tidy up the guest room and spread Simmons. By the way, the game The machines are all ready."

"Ah? But I..." Jin Mu was stunned.Didn't Jiuji say to have dinner at his house?Let alone staying overnight.

"I'm really looking forward to tonight." Jiuji turned his head like lightning to stop Kaneki's second sentence, and showed a blinding smile by the way, as if there were small white flowers floating in the background. "Right? Jin, Mu, Jun—"

"...Yes." Feeling that the little white flowers were blackening and withering one by one, Jin Mu swallowed, and nodded with difficulty.

As the saying goes, the rich and the poor cannot be moved, but he is a flexible person!

After school, Jiuji happily watched off the unhappy Yongjin, who was taken away by the minister by the ear.

Still doing his homework at Kaneki's part-time restaurant and waiting for him to get off work, this time Jiuji looked at the menu for a long time, chose a cheesecake to eat, and ordered a cup of coffee.It sounds weird for boys to like cakes, but Kyuki really likes sweets, and as a tall boy in puberty, he doesn't get fat no matter what he eats.

Today is the end of the month, and it is a good day to pay wages, Jin Mu readily settled the bill for Jiu Ji.With a grateful look, Jiuji made the nervous Kaneki gradually relax.

After all, Tokyo is still the capital of Japan. It is the hub of Japan’s politics, economy, culture, transportation and many other fields. It is also one of the cities with the highest economic development and wealth in the world. It is also an important base for the development of Yaoshi Temple. Naturally, the branch house here is not just an ordinary villa.

Yaoshi Temple is not a famous family that likes extravagance and pursues material things too much, but a place like a villa is more or less used for holding banquets, entertaining friends or meeting with colleagues to discuss business, all they want is face.So when Kaneki really stood in front of this luxurious and majestic European-style villa, his heart that had finally let go rose to his throat.Although the courtyard is bare and ugly because of the winter, the huge European-style villa that has only been seen on TV alone is a luxurious enough visual feast.

Kaneki is like a zombie, every move is slow and stiff.Whether it was the housekeeper who was more than three rounds older than him and respectfully used honorifics, or the maid lady who took the initiative to take his bag and take off his coat, he felt uncomfortable.

"Hit, disturb..."

"You don't have to be so polite. I'm the only one in the house except the housekeeper and the servants." Jiuji thought it was funny seeing Kaneki trembling.

"... Oh." Kaneki always felt that Jiu Ji was smiling when he said this, but his eyes were cold.

He followed Jiuji upstairs, observing the environment all the way.The house is also in an elegant and luxurious Western classical style. Just looking at the large pool of light in the living room on the first floor can kill three people at once. The floor is covered with thick and soft crimson flower-and-bird pattern carpets, and the furniture is exquisitely shaped and luxurious. It forms a strong color difference with the dark wallpaper, quietly exuding the heavy feeling of time and silence.

Although it is such a gorgeous house, Kaneki always feels that something is missing.

He remembered Jiuji's words just now: "I am the only one in the house except the housekeeper and servants."

Vaguely, I recalled my mother's face and words. "That child is actually very poor. Although he has everything in his house, he actually has nothing. No matter how abundant material resources are, they can't make up for the loneliness of the soul."

Looking at the slender back of Jiu Ji who was leading the way, he had to straighten his waist like a steel knife, so as to fight against the biting desertion and fearful loneliness of this unpopular villa.Along the way, servants wearing different styles of uniforms came and went, and when they passed by them, they all stopped and greeted Jiuji politely. He also smiled and nodded to everyone, but Kaneki felt that Whether it's him or the servants' smiles, they seem to be covered in a layer of ice, cold and fuzzy, not real at all.

This made Kaneki involuntarily think of the way Jiuji laughed before, with curved lips and clear brows and eyes, very beautiful.

Kaneki clenched the corners of his lips, and for a moment, he wanted to take a step forward to hold Jiu Ji's hand, and wanted to stand side by side with him, sharing some of the chilling coercion brought by this huge house for him.

At that time, the reason why the mother said that she was much happier than that rich child... He finally understood.

"—Wood...gold...golden wood!"

"Ah!" Kaneki blinked, regained his senses, and saw Jiuji waving his hands in front of his eyes.A little brother in a chef's hat and apron stood aside, smiling politely at him.

Jiuji just stopped a kitchen worker and asked him to prepare snacks and drinks for Kaneki. He wanted to ask Kaneki what he wanted to eat, but when he turned around, he saw Kaneki in a daze and called Kaneki many times. Only then did he bring his soul back.

"What are you thinking? I called you many times."

"Uh, I was a little shocked by the decoration." Kaneki touched his chin and said casually.

"...What do you want to eat? Where's the drink?" Although Jiuji doesn't have the mind-reading skills of his brother, he can be said to be good at observing, and Yongjin has sold him a long time ago. Touching his chin is helpful. hide.But he didn't expose it, nor did he pursue it. "I'll have the kitchen ready."

"Anything is fine... Uh, but..." Kaneki hesitated for a moment, remembering the sweet and greasy cheesecake that Kuki ate in the store just now, and the cup of coffee that was only satisfied with five sugar cubes, Decided to tell the truth for the sake of my tongue: "Actually, I don't really like sweets..."

Jiuji was about to tell the kitchen staff to make some sweets, but when he heard this, he turned his head blankly, "Eat it if you don't eat it!"

"Then you ask me what to do!"

"Just asking casually." Jiuji smiled wryly, that smile finally broke through the ice-like indifference just now, which made Kaneki feel particularly pleasing to the eye.

Just to tease him, Jiu Ji asked the kitchen to prepare some alloy wood-flavored snacks.The chef brother nodded and left. Jiuji continued to walk towards his bedroom. He was about to tell Kaneki to keep up and not to get lost, but he found that Kaneki suddenly quickened his pace, walked to his side, and stood side by side with him.

"What's the matter?" He was curious about Jin Mu's abnormal behavior. This young man was shy and rarely took the initiative to do anything.

Kaneki just shook his head.

The shoulders of the two are very close, and they can touch each other with a small shake.The two-meter-wide corridors are also less spacious because they walk side by side.

Jiuji felt something in his heart, turned his head to stare at him, and noticed his sight, Kaneki smiled at him, then turned his face back guiltily, but still stood stubbornly beside Jiuji, half Never step back.
