[Comprehensive] Long live the sexual turn!
Chapter 44
When Tsurumaru Kuninaga woke up, it was already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.The wall clock on the wall was ticking, and the refrigerator was humming.In the simple and clean living room, Saeki Juri and her so-called "living-in boyfriend" are sitting.
Tsurumaru was slightly taken aback.
He rubbed his head, messed up his short white hair, and then said in a daze, "Did I faint in embarrassment...?"
"Yeah, it's more than a shame." Cu Chulainn nodded and said, "It's a model of failure to be handsome."
Saeki Juri sat upright on the stool, staring intently at Tsurumaru.She held Tsurumaru's mobile phone in her hand, and said word by word: "I have something to ask you, Mr. Tsurumaru—no—Mr. Bai."
She pinched the phone tightly, as if she wanted to crush Tsurumaru's phone.
Tsurumaru blinked and smiled lightly.
"Don't gnash your teeth like this. I still like Mr. Saeki very much, and there is no deep hatred between us..."
"Are you 'Bai'?" Zhuli pointed to the chat room on the screen, gnashing her teeth more and more, "Is this you, the guy who has been chatting with me across the Internet?!"
Tsurumaru straightened his collar, lowered his eyes, and said, "You can put it this way."
"--you……"
Zhuli stared at her blankly, forgetting what she wanted to say for a while.
Originally, she was already mentally prepared that "Tsuramaru Kuninaga will be ashamed and never admit it", but she didn't expect the other party to admit it so easily, which made her psychological struggle meaningless.
Bai Jun has been with her all the time, so that she, who is withdrawn, finds sustenance and spiritual support on the Internet.Because of Bai's guidance, she left the family, engaged in her favorite comic creation work, and completely cut off social interaction with ordinary people.
And Tsurumaru Kuninaga is another person——the teacher she met after entering high school was handsome, funny, and extremely popular. When she first met her, she showed a different interest in her, which almost made her feel uncomfortable. All moved.
How could these two characters be the same person?
"Why..." Zhuli suddenly lost his strength and muttered, "Why did you do such a thing."
"Because I'm bored." Tsurumaru Kuninaga shrugged, with a childish naughtiness in his handsome eyes, "I told you, I'm a person who hates boredom, so I want to do something extraordinary. ..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Zhu Li raised his head and interrupted him, "What happened to those photos in your album? I don't remember taking such a photo album at all."
"Saeki-san, with today's advanced computer technology, it's very easy to synthesize several photos." Tsurumaru didn't care, and rubbed his wrist, "Of course you can do anything when you're bored."
However, such rhetoric did not convince Zhuli.
"Aren't you going to tell?" Zhuri folded her arms and said imposingly, "Be careful, I will report you for attacking female students, and you will lose your hard-won job. Mr. Tsurumaru, this is your job after graduation from university." It's your first official job."
"Oh... yes." Tsurumaru nodded with great interest, and smiled, "If I lose my job and become homeless, then I'll come and live with Mr. Saeki."
Zhuli: ...
Who wants to listen to such nonsensical answers! !
"You've done so many excessive things, aren't you going to explain it?" Zhuli asked.
"What did I do too much?" Tsurumaru held his face, looking puzzled, "Does it mean that I chatted with Saeki-san online, or pursued Saeki-san? Or hugged Saeki-san at New Tokyo Tower that matter?"
Zhu Li choked.
"Wait, wait?" Cu Chulainn had already started grinding his teeth, "Which 'hug'?"
Zhuli: ...
Obviously there are other words to describe what happened in the New Tokyo Tower, but Tsurumaru just used this "hug"...in the Japanese context, the "hug" he used has a hidden...that aspect Meaning.
"It's just 'hug'." Tsurumaru spread his hands, with a look of no comment, "As for other things-I just coaxed a boring little girl on the Internet and talked according to her mind, what's the matter Is there a problem? In love, it’s just a pastime when you’re bored, it’s not even a ‘surprise’.”
His sullen and boring tone really looked like a child who was having fun all day long.
Zhuli was momentarily at a loss for words.
Strictly speaking, Tsurumaru was right.Although it has caused a lot of influence on her on the Internet, it does not violate the law, and she has no reason to criticize Tsurumaru.
"That's the end of the explanation." Tsurumaru stood up and stretched his waist, "Thank you Saeki-san for bringing me back, see you next time at school. Of course, I won't give up—until Saeki-san really wants to until I disappear from school."
"Hey, perverted teacher." Cu Chulainn yelled at his back, "You really don't plan to say anything?"
"Ah?" Tsurumaru turned his head slightly, with a puzzled tone in his tone.
"Your strength is weakening. The next time you encounter those monsters, maybe you won't have the ability to protect yourself. If you tell the lady honestly, I can consider protecting a weak person like you." Kuqiu Lin said, with the meaning of charity in his tone.
Haruka chuckled lightly.
"Ah—that's really rude." Tsurumaru turned his head, stared at the door in front of him, and said, "There is nothing to say. If I have to explain something, I can only say that if the enemy Come to the door, that's just right, everything can start again."
After saying this, he held the handle and pushed the door open.With a creak, the door of the apartment was closed, and only Zhuri and Cu Chulainn were left in the living room.The bloody smell from Tsurumaru's body was still wafting in the room, and the faint salty smell of blood made Zhuli frowned slightly.
"Everything can start again... What do you mean?" She muttered, "Does Tsurumaru think that I will give him a chance to start again?"
What does it mean to start over...?It doesn't mean that time goes back and everything goes back to the original point.
Tsurumaru didn't speak clearly, he was a bit annoying.
Cu Chulainn pulled a chair, spread his legs and sat down on his back, resting his chin on the back of the chair: "Your perverted teacher is really a terrible guy. Just imagine, if the Master didn't meet me, and didn't What will happen to the scene where the perverted teacher kills people?"
"What do you mean?"
"On the one hand is the 'spiritual pillar I trusted since I was a child', and on the other is the 'teacher I loved in high school'. The two perfectly overlap between virtual and reality. The Master will only trust and love him. It is a pity that the Master met me, yes The guy in the network became suspicious; accidentally bumped into his killing scene, and wiped out all the good feelings the teacher had accumulated in school."
"Wait - Cu Chulainn." Zhuli was a little annoyed, and corrected, "Who told you that I have a crush on him?"
"Do you think I'm a virgin boy who doesn't understand anything?" Cu Chulainn spread his hands, his tone a little embarrassed, "I will draw the teacher as the prototype of the male protagonist in the comics. If you say that you don't care about him, I absolutely I don’t believe it. If you want to deceive me who has four women, Master, you should practice for hundreds of years.”
For some reason, when he said "there were four women," he sounded a little proud.
The hero Cu Chulainn in the myth is indeed a romantic man, with mistresses here and there, and even the enemies he defeated became his women.But those are all the women in the myths hundreds of thousands of years ago, Zhuli really doesn't understand what he should be proud of.
"Shut up, you." Zhuli held his forehead and walked towards the bedroom.
"Angry?" Cu Chulainn was a little confused, "Because I had four women? Are you jealous?"
"Who would be jealous because of the lover in the myth!"
***
Saeki Juri was in a bad mood.
The person whom she has always trusted and regarded as her best friend turned out to be Tsurumaru Kuninaga, whom she couldn't figure out or see through, which made her feel very depressed.This kind of feeling is like "the belief that I have always insisted on has been denied", and it is also like "being deceived by the person I believe in the most". Although it will not lose my soul, it is very uncomfortable.
Even, she began to doubt the life creed that she once firmly believed in.
Such a way of life...
Maybe not perfect.
Once he throws away Bai's will and re-examines the reality, he will feel that he is a complete failure, and it is even impossible for people to change.
If it was her in the past, she might lock herself up and spend a period of time alone to relieve her depression.But now, her cohabitant doesn't allow her to be depressed like this——
When she was curled up on the sofa sullenly, she suddenly saw Cu Chulainn wearing an apron drying clothes like a housewife, and instantly forgot what she was suffering just now, and just wanted to run on him as a housewife appearance;
When she turned on the computer and hesitated whether to delete the previous chat history, Cu Chulainn struggled to say "want to smoke" voice, which made her have to divert her attention to teach this follower a lesson, let him Understand what the consequences of smoking are;
When she curled up on the bed and thought wildly at night, the blue-haired servant would unknowingly climb into bed and sleep next to her pillow; if he didn't pay attention to Cu Chulainn's actions, he might even take off his clothes ——
So, life is not so difficult.
The biggest impact of this incident was that she couldn't pick up a pen to continue creating.Although the storyboard and the plot were well thought out, when it came time to sketch out the outline of the male lead, she was always unable to write.
For several days in a row, her manuscript made no progress at all.
In order to urge herself to submit manuscripts on time, she now also carries painting tools with her when she goes out, and paints two or three strokes when she has time, and she is no exception when she is in the basketball team.
On this day, she was sitting in the open-air cafe, thinking about the lines of Mr. Kuroba again.
This "Forest of the Unseen" has been serialized for nearly half a year, and the response among readers is very good. All readers think that this is a great improvement for Koichiro Takamitsu, and Mr. Kuroba also won the first place in the popular vote of "Romance Month". Good ranking of six.Even for this hard-earned praise, she still has to bite the bullet and continue drawing this manga about teacher-student romance.
There was no one in the cafe, and the round parasols blocked the late autumn sun.The slightly cold wind blows the fallen leaves on the street and the corners of women's cotton and linen skirts, and the breath of autumn is everywhere.The aroma of coffee and desserts filled the nose.
——In this picture, what should Kuroba-sensei say?
While looking at the night view of Tokyo, he lowered his head and said to Chiharu, "The night view is the most beautiful", should it be time for a kiss that fits the occasion?She is not familiar with kissing scenes, but if you kiss each other too early, readers will lose interest...
[I haven't submitted the manuscript yet. ]
A familiar voice rang in her mind.
Zhuli was shocked.
She raised her head, glanced around, and found Kusuo Saiki sitting in the dessert shop across the street.He had come for coffee jelly, and there were empty dessert cups on the table.
——Sorry, I don’t have much time to draw recently, something happened.
[Think about your pocket money, will you be motivated. ]
— Ah, still nothing.Mr. Qi Mu, maybe you won't be able to see the next issue of "Forest of the Unseen".
[Let’s talk, this time, Mr. Heiyu was arrested and imprisoned, or Mr. Heiyu got leukemia, or Mr. Heiyu was amputated in a car accident, or Mr. Heiyu was sent to Antarctica. ]
——Leukemia developed after amputation in a car accident. He was arrested and imprisoned for stealing while seeing a doctor in the hospital, and was finally sent to a prison in Antarctica...
[It seems that your mood is really bad enough. ]
——Ah, yes, the only way to make me feel better now is probably to go to a place like London or Egypt, and quickly forget about the bad things...
The next moment, the scene in front of her suddenly changed.
Before she could react, she was already standing in a strange place with Saiki Kusuo.A huge classical, whitened door leaf stands in front of it, and the roof is inlaid with "British Museum" in large metal characters.In the red tent that was set up, a blond Caucasian boy in uniform was staring at her wonderingly, and said, "Lady? Would you mind passing me your bag? Then you can enterthemuseum."
Zhuli: ...
where is this! ! !
Saiki Kusuo raised his glasses: [British Museum, London. ]
Zhuli:? ?
Why did they suddenly come to the British Museum! !
[Don't like it here? ]
With a soft buzzing sound, the little Caucasian brother who was waiting to check his backpack disappeared, and his eyes turned into a pile of yellow sand.A team of tourists on camels passed by slowly, and the tourists wearing sunglasses raised their mobile phones to take pictures of the ancient pyramids under the scorching sun.
Zhuli: ...
Is it Egypt again this time! !
[Don't like it? ]
——It’s not a question of whether you like it or not, it’s because I didn’t expect Qi Mu-kun to actually bring me here...
[If it wasn't for the deadline, do you think I would. ]
——This distasteful tone is really like something Sai Mu-kun would say...
[Anywhere else you want to go? ]
——No no no no!I dare not have it!I must paint well!
[......]
Saiki Kusuo took Zhuri back to the open-air cafe in Tokyo.This time, Qi Mu simply sat in the empty seat in front of her and ordered another dessert from this shop.
"I know, I will definitely draw well." Zhuli sorted out the manuscript on the table, "I am a person with lofty ideals. One day, my comics will be remade into film and television, and then go overseas—— "
Although she doesn't care what the outside world thinks of her, when it comes to comics, she cares about the outside world again.
She picked up the pen again and wrote the text where the dialog box was marked.
Just then, she heard a small stream of whispers.The low voice of discussion belonged to a girl of the same age, revealing young speculation and malice.A few seats away, like summer flies, it makes people feel irritable from the bottom of their hearts.
"It's Saeki... What's the condition of that boy in front of her? A skinny four-eyed little frog?"
"Would a girl like her have a boyfriend? Probably just teasing her."
"I eagerly ran to the basketball club to repost, but it turns out that no one likes her..."
A soft laugh could not stop piercing into her eardrums.
It turned out to be three girls from the same class who happened to meet here during the rest day.
Saeki Juri already had a heart of steel.In the past, she would never get angry because of such a trivial matter, because such words would not affect her skin and mood at all.
However, today is different.
She's in a bad mood right now.
When humans are in a bad mood, they are easily impulsive, and she is the same now.
She suddenly wanted to teach these girls a lesson.
——She has never fought back, because she is afraid that her too tricky, irritable, and withdrawn personality will hurt others, but everyone thinks that she is weak and can only escape, including Akashi Seijuro.
In addition to escaping, she will obviously do other things.
accurate.
[Aren’t you in the mood to rush the manuscript again? ] Qi Mu's eyes were straight, [To be honest, their evaluation made me very unhappy.Also, the discussion was too loud for me to ignore.I think we should consider letting them learn the basics of being human...]
——Okay Qi Mu-kun, don't do anything, or the world will be destroyed.Just leave it to me.
Zhuli stood up straight.
If Cu Chulainn was here, he would definitely teach these ignorant girls a lesson.But Cu Chulainn was shut up at home by her to do laundry, and now it was her occasion to show herself.
Saeki Zhuri put down his pen, with a wooden face, he stepped in front of the three girls in a few steps.She came suddenly, and the three female high school students were slightly taken aback. Then they forced out a smile and said hello, "... Good afternoon, Mr. Saeki, what a coincidence."
Saeki Juri raised his face, showing a ghostly smile of [making the TV group want to give lunch to all the male protagonists], he lifted his foot neatly, and kicked over the only empty chair next to the three girls.
The crisp sound of metal falling to the ground made the surroundings quiet.
"Gossiping all day long, is your life so boring?" Zhuli said with a cold face, and stepped on the metal chair that fell to the ground.
"?!" The three girls were startled, looking shocked, "This guy... said, talked, talked?!"
"I didn't respond to your pointing before, that's because my upbringing is better than yours." Saeki Juri unceremoniously compared his chest with his fingers, and said in a cold voice, "I know that being preached and It's hard to criticize, so I never come here to be harsh on you. But..."
"Sa, Saeki-san..."
"There must be a limit to being bored!" Saiki Tari kicked on the back of the chair, propping his elbows on his knees, with a slightly fierce expression, "Don't think that you can bully me casually because I don't get angry, woman!"
This Saeki Juri was so different from the usual Saeki Juri, the girls trembled, looked at me, I looked at you, looked at each other, whispered "sorry" one after another, and then left in dismay after checking out.
Looking at the backs of the girls who were scared away, Zhuli sighed.
I'm afraid what I said to them just now is more than what I said to them in the whole semester combined.There is no other reason, but after learning that he was "deceived by Bai Jun", he simply became suspicious of the world view, and he was unwilling to follow Bai's teachings.
To be honest, it's pretty refreshing.
She turned her head and saw Saiki Kusuo eating a chocolate brownie indifferently.Somehow, she seemed to feel that the person who had always been as expressionless as her was laughing.
[not bad. ] Qi Mu praised her, [You actually have such a decisive moment. ]
— Huh, I feel much better, thank you, Qi Mu-kun.Great views of London and Egypt.
[Can you draw with peace of mind? ]
——Should be fine.
***
The next day, Saeki Juri had calmed down.
"Cuchulin, I want to go home." She said to her followers.
"Isn't this the Master's home?" Cu Chulainn who was drying clothes on the balcony asked wonderingly.
"I mean, my family." Zhuli raised his head, and there was a bit of determination in his eyes, "Once I lost Mr. Bai, I figured out a lot of things. No one will comfort me anymore. "Hiding in the virtual network is fine." ', so I have to face the reality. The most important thing is - I have to find a way to find out the identity of Tsurumaru-sensei."
Cu Chulainn turned the clothes drying pole in his hand like a long gun, and joked, "It's a nice look."
"'The photos are synthetic' and 'it's just because I'm bored', I will never believe such excuses. It is very difficult for an ordinary high school girl like me to find out his identity. , but my family can do it." Zhuli clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "Besides, I have one more important thing to do..."
"what?"
"I want to break off my engagement with Seijuro."
"Oh——" Cu Chulainn showed an expression of great interest, "Master, are you serious? He was the person you liked in middle school, wasn't he? You even shed tears for him."
"Even so, the marriage contract that was made in a hurry is too irresponsible." Zhuli said, "Zhengjun and I have changed a lot. What is it to get engaged without knowing each other? My current personality, maybe It's not suitable for Zhengjun at all, and forcing him to be tied to me will make me feel guilty."
She knows how unlovable she is, and she knows how good Akashi Seijuro is.Because of this, she didn't want the two to make a hasty marriage contract because of their parents' wishes.
"That's good." Cu Chulainn closed the balcony door, "Master has finally become stronger."
Zhuli understood that such a change was forced.She lost Bai, and lost the most important pillar for building a lonely world.Now she can't find someone to confide in and comfort, so she can only deal with the matter one by one by herself.
"Considering my mother's strong personality, I may not be able to come back in a short time when I go home this time—" Zhuli held his forehead, and said in a sad tone, "So, Cu Chulainn will go with me too. In my real life When you are at home, be careful to hide, lest my parents discover your existence."
"I understand, I understand." The servant nodded perfunctorily, "Master, you are almost an adult, do your parents still care about your relationship status? It's everywhere..."
Zhuli: ...
It's not for this reason at all!
***
It has been a long time since Saeki Juri came home last time.This time, when she suddenly appeared at the door of the house, the servants and housekeepers who came to answer the door showed very surprised expressions.
"Miss Pearl?"
Mrs. Tamura, the housekeeper, looked at her in astonishment, "What happened to you? You came home suddenly, and we haven't prepared a welcoming ceremony, and we haven't notified Mrs. and Mrs...."
Zhuli raised her head, looked at the familiar and dazzling decorations in the hall, and said, "I want to talk to my mother or brother."
"Young master is also at home recently." Mrs. Tamura showed a kind smile, "Please go back to your room to rest first. We have been tidying up your room to ensure that it is exactly the same as when you lived in it last time. We will go to invite the young master immediately. come over."
Zhu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be nice to talk to my older brother, who is relatively easygoing, instead of my mother who can't stop talking, or my father who is stern and unkind all the time.
She returned to her room on the second floor.
Just as Mrs. Tamura said, this spacious western-style room maintains the furnishings of the previous residence, exuding a strong western style.In the corner of the room covered with plush white carpet, there is even a pile of long-eared rabbit dolls that she once loved; the piano cover that has not been touched for a long time is covered with white cloth rolled with lace, as if waiting to be uncovered like a treasure.
She sat down on her own bed. She was used to sleeping on a hard bed, and she suddenly sat on such a soft place, which made her a little uncomfortable.
Outside the large floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a wonderful view of the garden.The trees carefully tended by the gardener did not show fatigue due to the arrival of autumn, and the red and green transitions are extremely beautiful.A baroque white round table is placed on the green lawn, and the black tea that someone has enjoyed is placed on the table.
The golden light particles flew slowly, gathering around her to form the body of the servant.
Cu Chulainn bent down, pressed the bed she was sitting on, thought for a while, and said, "If you do it on this bed, it will be very comfortable."
"?" Zhuli looked at Cu Chulainn with a stern face, and said, "Do you believe that I used the name of Command Spell to turn you into a flower manure in the garden?"
"Don't—" Cu Chulainn said immediately, "I'm just talking. For things like hugging a woman, it's better to stay where you're used to..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor.Before the blue follower could finish his dirty words, it turned into light and dissipated in the air.Then, the door opened, and Saeki Shuri's older brother Kinichiro Saeki walked in.
He is a chubby young man, at the age of 24 or [-], because of his roundness, his face looks more approachable, without the arrogance of a rich man.
"Riri, long time no see." Jinichiro coughed, not knowing how to speak to his sister, "Do you have anything to ask me?"
When Juri Saeki was young, Jinichiro doted on his younger sister very much.At that time, everyone in the Zuobo family loved this little lady, even if she wanted the moon in the sky, they would pick it off for her.It's just that Zhuli's temper gradually changed later, and the relationship between Jinichiro and his younger sister became a little distant.
"I want to ask my brother to help me find someone." Zhuli took out a document from his bag and handed it over, "The basic information is already here. I want to know his movements, address and work in recent years. .”
Kinichiro nodded.
"Also, does brother know that my mother made a marriage contract for me?"
Kinichiro put away the folder, straightened his tie, and said, "This...brother knows about it. The young master of the Akashi family. Didn't Riri have a relationship with that young master...?"
"I want to break off the engagement."
Kinichiro was quiet for a while, and said: "The young master is a very good person, with excellent grades and outstanding abilities, and he will inherit the Akashi family's family business without accident. Don't you like such a fiancé?"
Zhuli lowered her head slightly.
"It's not that kind of problem. I know Zhengjun is very good, but Zhengjun and I are just friends now. Engagement or something... just forget it." She said in a low voice.
Jinichiro sighed, and said, "Since Riri moved out, this is the first time I've heard Riri say so much. It seems that you really don't like this marriage."
There was the sound of birdsong outside the window, and several servants were talking and laughing as they cleaned up the teacups in the garden.The autumn sun shines through the glass windows and falls on the red foreign wood floor.
"The current Zhengjun and I don't understand each other at all." Zhuli said.
"Is it because of this reason that Riri refused the marriage?" Jinichiro walked to the window and looked at the scene in the garden, "Do you really remember that you are the daughter of the Saeki family?"
Zhu Li was slightly taken aback.
"What's the meaning……"
"It means that, as the daughter of the Saeki family, the marriage contract is often not determined by 'love'. The family of the chaebol, it is like this." The button on Jinichiro's suit is slightly shining, which is a bit glaring, "As far as I can With such an excellent fiancé selected within the scope, mother already favors you very much."
Zhu Li stared blankly at her elder brother, a little speechless.
She knew that her family was extraordinary, which gave her the capital to be willful, mean and surly.At this moment, she suddenly realized how difficult it is to maintain such a huge family——
Perhaps, in front of the family business, the marriage happiness of the younger generation is nothing.
"However, it's a little too much for Riri, who has not received much favor from the family, to marry someone she doesn't know." Jinichiro smiled broadly, "If Riri wants to break off the engagement with the young master of the Akashi family , at least let father see Lili's excellence, and let father understand that Lili has other possibilities besides 'marriage'."
Saeki Juri clenched his fist lightly.
The father in my memory was a serious, serious and demanding person.He is always busy with business matters and is away from home all day long.Occasionally, when I saw Zhuli, he was always dissatisfied, frowning and picking on everything.
——Dissatisfied with Zhuli's personality, dissatisfied with Zhuli's piano, dissatisfied with Zhuli's grades, dissatisfied with Zhuli's school...
Fortunately, he was so busy that Zhuli could only see this man in black and white illustrations in newspapers and TV news.Even if one day she bumps into her father suddenly at home, a doting mother will rush out to defend her, leaving her father nowhere to get angry.
Such a man would indeed do such a thing.
What's more, Mrs. Saeki and Mr. Seitomi once thought that she and Seijuro were childhood sweethearts and had an affair with each other.Under the influence of Mrs. Saeki, Mr. Saeki may feel that he has done a good thing.
"Let the not-so-close daughter get engaged to the boy she likes! What a gentle father I am!"——Maybe the father thinks so, and it's not certain.
After talking with Jinichiro, Zhuri lay on her back on the bed.
How to make her father face up to her existence?
If he remained withdrawn and withdrawn as before, things would not have changed at all.
How about asking Mr. Bai...
No, Mr. Bai is no longer there.
If she wanted to ask her own answer, she just didn't want to cry and say "sorry" when Akashi asked.
——The first thing to do is to break out of your own cocoon, cut off Shiro's shackles, and try to face this extraordinary Tokyo again.
***
Monday's commute arrives.
On the pathway in front of Seirin High School, students walked together.Several girls gathered together, muttering what they had learned on the rest day.
"Really... That Saeki suddenly became very terribly angry."
"Hey, you're lying, right? I haven't seen her talk before, so how could she come to talk to you all of a sudden..."
"It's still her fault. Since you're not a princess, don't put on a princess face."
Just then, a black car stopped not far from them.Although it is dull black, the car logo that makes people unable to take their eyes off shines with the stench of money and capital.
The driver-like man in a black suit got out of the car and opened the rear door.Saeki Juri stepped out and stood at the school gate.
"Just deliver it to the corner next time." She said to the driver.
"But..." The driver showed a troubled expression, "This is Madam's order..."
"For me and my mother, choose one of the two." Zhuli said, "If you don't agree, I'll come by tram by myself in the future."
"Miss Zhuli, please don't do this!" The driver immediately panicked, "I will lose my job because of this."
These conversations fell into the ears of several girls verbatim.For a moment, they all seemed to know what "suffocation" felt like.Shocked, they couldn't even speak very well.
"No, I'm not mistaken...? Is Saeki really the daughter of a rich family?"
"I can't see it at all..."
"Why didn't she say it in school!"
Zhuli never cared what others said about her.As if she didn't hear what they said before, she turned to the girls expressionlessly and said, "Good morning."
Three girls: [shudder]
Standing at Seirin's doorway, Zhuri let out a slight breath. ——From now on, she will be a person who can be recognized by her father.No, not only a capable person, but also an enviable person.
"Hey, Saeki-san, long time no see." Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who was carrying a briefcase, greeted her with a smile, "The class is adjusted today, the first period is my class, do you want to go to the classroom together?"
Zhuri looked directly at Tsurumaru's face, slightly annoyed in his heart.
Did he think she would run away without making a sound?
Naive.
Not only will she not run away, but she will directly hate Tsurumaru Kuninaga.
Isn't this guy very popular among girls?Then let's do something.
"Okay. Let's go together." She calmly walked to Tsurumaru's side.
"Then do you want me to help you carry things?" Tsurumaru was a little surprised, and asked with a smile.
"Thank you." Passed the package.
Teachers and students walk side by side, this combination looks a bit strange.The expressions of several girls in the same class became more and more strange, and the whispering sounded again.
"Are they so familiar?"
"impossible……"
Saeki Juri turned her head quietly, and said to them: "Please give me your advice."
Three girls: [shudder]
Is Saeki Juri really such a person? !
In the past, I was silently squeezed out, my character was terrible,
Tsurumaru was slightly taken aback.
He rubbed his head, messed up his short white hair, and then said in a daze, "Did I faint in embarrassment...?"
"Yeah, it's more than a shame." Cu Chulainn nodded and said, "It's a model of failure to be handsome."
Saeki Juri sat upright on the stool, staring intently at Tsurumaru.She held Tsurumaru's mobile phone in her hand, and said word by word: "I have something to ask you, Mr. Tsurumaru—no—Mr. Bai."
She pinched the phone tightly, as if she wanted to crush Tsurumaru's phone.
Tsurumaru blinked and smiled lightly.
"Don't gnash your teeth like this. I still like Mr. Saeki very much, and there is no deep hatred between us..."
"Are you 'Bai'?" Zhuli pointed to the chat room on the screen, gnashing her teeth more and more, "Is this you, the guy who has been chatting with me across the Internet?!"
Tsurumaru straightened his collar, lowered his eyes, and said, "You can put it this way."
"--you……"
Zhuli stared at her blankly, forgetting what she wanted to say for a while.
Originally, she was already mentally prepared that "Tsuramaru Kuninaga will be ashamed and never admit it", but she didn't expect the other party to admit it so easily, which made her psychological struggle meaningless.
Bai Jun has been with her all the time, so that she, who is withdrawn, finds sustenance and spiritual support on the Internet.Because of Bai's guidance, she left the family, engaged in her favorite comic creation work, and completely cut off social interaction with ordinary people.
And Tsurumaru Kuninaga is another person——the teacher she met after entering high school was handsome, funny, and extremely popular. When she first met her, she showed a different interest in her, which almost made her feel uncomfortable. All moved.
How could these two characters be the same person?
"Why..." Zhuli suddenly lost his strength and muttered, "Why did you do such a thing."
"Because I'm bored." Tsurumaru Kuninaga shrugged, with a childish naughtiness in his handsome eyes, "I told you, I'm a person who hates boredom, so I want to do something extraordinary. ..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Zhu Li raised his head and interrupted him, "What happened to those photos in your album? I don't remember taking such a photo album at all."
"Saeki-san, with today's advanced computer technology, it's very easy to synthesize several photos." Tsurumaru didn't care, and rubbed his wrist, "Of course you can do anything when you're bored."
However, such rhetoric did not convince Zhuli.
"Aren't you going to tell?" Zhuri folded her arms and said imposingly, "Be careful, I will report you for attacking female students, and you will lose your hard-won job. Mr. Tsurumaru, this is your job after graduation from university." It's your first official job."
"Oh... yes." Tsurumaru nodded with great interest, and smiled, "If I lose my job and become homeless, then I'll come and live with Mr. Saeki."
Zhuli: ...
Who wants to listen to such nonsensical answers! !
"You've done so many excessive things, aren't you going to explain it?" Zhuli asked.
"What did I do too much?" Tsurumaru held his face, looking puzzled, "Does it mean that I chatted with Saeki-san online, or pursued Saeki-san? Or hugged Saeki-san at New Tokyo Tower that matter?"
Zhu Li choked.
"Wait, wait?" Cu Chulainn had already started grinding his teeth, "Which 'hug'?"
Zhuli: ...
Obviously there are other words to describe what happened in the New Tokyo Tower, but Tsurumaru just used this "hug"...in the Japanese context, the "hug" he used has a hidden...that aspect Meaning.
"It's just 'hug'." Tsurumaru spread his hands, with a look of no comment, "As for other things-I just coaxed a boring little girl on the Internet and talked according to her mind, what's the matter Is there a problem? In love, it’s just a pastime when you’re bored, it’s not even a ‘surprise’.”
His sullen and boring tone really looked like a child who was having fun all day long.
Zhuli was momentarily at a loss for words.
Strictly speaking, Tsurumaru was right.Although it has caused a lot of influence on her on the Internet, it does not violate the law, and she has no reason to criticize Tsurumaru.
"That's the end of the explanation." Tsurumaru stood up and stretched his waist, "Thank you Saeki-san for bringing me back, see you next time at school. Of course, I won't give up—until Saeki-san really wants to until I disappear from school."
"Hey, perverted teacher." Cu Chulainn yelled at his back, "You really don't plan to say anything?"
"Ah?" Tsurumaru turned his head slightly, with a puzzled tone in his tone.
"Your strength is weakening. The next time you encounter those monsters, maybe you won't have the ability to protect yourself. If you tell the lady honestly, I can consider protecting a weak person like you." Kuqiu Lin said, with the meaning of charity in his tone.
Haruka chuckled lightly.
"Ah—that's really rude." Tsurumaru turned his head, stared at the door in front of him, and said, "There is nothing to say. If I have to explain something, I can only say that if the enemy Come to the door, that's just right, everything can start again."
After saying this, he held the handle and pushed the door open.With a creak, the door of the apartment was closed, and only Zhuri and Cu Chulainn were left in the living room.The bloody smell from Tsurumaru's body was still wafting in the room, and the faint salty smell of blood made Zhuli frowned slightly.
"Everything can start again... What do you mean?" She muttered, "Does Tsurumaru think that I will give him a chance to start again?"
What does it mean to start over...?It doesn't mean that time goes back and everything goes back to the original point.
Tsurumaru didn't speak clearly, he was a bit annoying.
Cu Chulainn pulled a chair, spread his legs and sat down on his back, resting his chin on the back of the chair: "Your perverted teacher is really a terrible guy. Just imagine, if the Master didn't meet me, and didn't What will happen to the scene where the perverted teacher kills people?"
"What do you mean?"
"On the one hand is the 'spiritual pillar I trusted since I was a child', and on the other is the 'teacher I loved in high school'. The two perfectly overlap between virtual and reality. The Master will only trust and love him. It is a pity that the Master met me, yes The guy in the network became suspicious; accidentally bumped into his killing scene, and wiped out all the good feelings the teacher had accumulated in school."
"Wait - Cu Chulainn." Zhuli was a little annoyed, and corrected, "Who told you that I have a crush on him?"
"Do you think I'm a virgin boy who doesn't understand anything?" Cu Chulainn spread his hands, his tone a little embarrassed, "I will draw the teacher as the prototype of the male protagonist in the comics. If you say that you don't care about him, I absolutely I don’t believe it. If you want to deceive me who has four women, Master, you should practice for hundreds of years.”
For some reason, when he said "there were four women," he sounded a little proud.
The hero Cu Chulainn in the myth is indeed a romantic man, with mistresses here and there, and even the enemies he defeated became his women.But those are all the women in the myths hundreds of thousands of years ago, Zhuli really doesn't understand what he should be proud of.
"Shut up, you." Zhuli held his forehead and walked towards the bedroom.
"Angry?" Cu Chulainn was a little confused, "Because I had four women? Are you jealous?"
"Who would be jealous because of the lover in the myth!"
***
Saeki Juri was in a bad mood.
The person whom she has always trusted and regarded as her best friend turned out to be Tsurumaru Kuninaga, whom she couldn't figure out or see through, which made her feel very depressed.This kind of feeling is like "the belief that I have always insisted on has been denied", and it is also like "being deceived by the person I believe in the most". Although it will not lose my soul, it is very uncomfortable.
Even, she began to doubt the life creed that she once firmly believed in.
Such a way of life...
Maybe not perfect.
Once he throws away Bai's will and re-examines the reality, he will feel that he is a complete failure, and it is even impossible for people to change.
If it was her in the past, she might lock herself up and spend a period of time alone to relieve her depression.But now, her cohabitant doesn't allow her to be depressed like this——
When she was curled up on the sofa sullenly, she suddenly saw Cu Chulainn wearing an apron drying clothes like a housewife, and instantly forgot what she was suffering just now, and just wanted to run on him as a housewife appearance;
When she turned on the computer and hesitated whether to delete the previous chat history, Cu Chulainn struggled to say "want to smoke" voice, which made her have to divert her attention to teach this follower a lesson, let him Understand what the consequences of smoking are;
When she curled up on the bed and thought wildly at night, the blue-haired servant would unknowingly climb into bed and sleep next to her pillow; if he didn't pay attention to Cu Chulainn's actions, he might even take off his clothes ——
So, life is not so difficult.
The biggest impact of this incident was that she couldn't pick up a pen to continue creating.Although the storyboard and the plot were well thought out, when it came time to sketch out the outline of the male lead, she was always unable to write.
For several days in a row, her manuscript made no progress at all.
In order to urge herself to submit manuscripts on time, she now also carries painting tools with her when she goes out, and paints two or three strokes when she has time, and she is no exception when she is in the basketball team.
On this day, she was sitting in the open-air cafe, thinking about the lines of Mr. Kuroba again.
This "Forest of the Unseen" has been serialized for nearly half a year, and the response among readers is very good. All readers think that this is a great improvement for Koichiro Takamitsu, and Mr. Kuroba also won the first place in the popular vote of "Romance Month". Good ranking of six.Even for this hard-earned praise, she still has to bite the bullet and continue drawing this manga about teacher-student romance.
There was no one in the cafe, and the round parasols blocked the late autumn sun.The slightly cold wind blows the fallen leaves on the street and the corners of women's cotton and linen skirts, and the breath of autumn is everywhere.The aroma of coffee and desserts filled the nose.
——In this picture, what should Kuroba-sensei say?
While looking at the night view of Tokyo, he lowered his head and said to Chiharu, "The night view is the most beautiful", should it be time for a kiss that fits the occasion?She is not familiar with kissing scenes, but if you kiss each other too early, readers will lose interest...
[I haven't submitted the manuscript yet. ]
A familiar voice rang in her mind.
Zhuli was shocked.
She raised her head, glanced around, and found Kusuo Saiki sitting in the dessert shop across the street.He had come for coffee jelly, and there were empty dessert cups on the table.
——Sorry, I don’t have much time to draw recently, something happened.
[Think about your pocket money, will you be motivated. ]
— Ah, still nothing.Mr. Qi Mu, maybe you won't be able to see the next issue of "Forest of the Unseen".
[Let’s talk, this time, Mr. Heiyu was arrested and imprisoned, or Mr. Heiyu got leukemia, or Mr. Heiyu was amputated in a car accident, or Mr. Heiyu was sent to Antarctica. ]
——Leukemia developed after amputation in a car accident. He was arrested and imprisoned for stealing while seeing a doctor in the hospital, and was finally sent to a prison in Antarctica...
[It seems that your mood is really bad enough. ]
——Ah, yes, the only way to make me feel better now is probably to go to a place like London or Egypt, and quickly forget about the bad things...
The next moment, the scene in front of her suddenly changed.
Before she could react, she was already standing in a strange place with Saiki Kusuo.A huge classical, whitened door leaf stands in front of it, and the roof is inlaid with "British Museum" in large metal characters.In the red tent that was set up, a blond Caucasian boy in uniform was staring at her wonderingly, and said, "Lady? Would you mind passing me your bag? Then you can enterthemuseum."
Zhuli: ...
where is this! ! !
Saiki Kusuo raised his glasses: [British Museum, London. ]
Zhuli:? ?
Why did they suddenly come to the British Museum! !
[Don't like it here? ]
With a soft buzzing sound, the little Caucasian brother who was waiting to check his backpack disappeared, and his eyes turned into a pile of yellow sand.A team of tourists on camels passed by slowly, and the tourists wearing sunglasses raised their mobile phones to take pictures of the ancient pyramids under the scorching sun.
Zhuli: ...
Is it Egypt again this time! !
[Don't like it? ]
——It’s not a question of whether you like it or not, it’s because I didn’t expect Qi Mu-kun to actually bring me here...
[If it wasn't for the deadline, do you think I would. ]
——This distasteful tone is really like something Sai Mu-kun would say...
[Anywhere else you want to go? ]
——No no no no!I dare not have it!I must paint well!
[......]
Saiki Kusuo took Zhuri back to the open-air cafe in Tokyo.This time, Qi Mu simply sat in the empty seat in front of her and ordered another dessert from this shop.
"I know, I will definitely draw well." Zhuli sorted out the manuscript on the table, "I am a person with lofty ideals. One day, my comics will be remade into film and television, and then go overseas—— "
Although she doesn't care what the outside world thinks of her, when it comes to comics, she cares about the outside world again.
She picked up the pen again and wrote the text where the dialog box was marked.
Just then, she heard a small stream of whispers.The low voice of discussion belonged to a girl of the same age, revealing young speculation and malice.A few seats away, like summer flies, it makes people feel irritable from the bottom of their hearts.
"It's Saeki... What's the condition of that boy in front of her? A skinny four-eyed little frog?"
"Would a girl like her have a boyfriend? Probably just teasing her."
"I eagerly ran to the basketball club to repost, but it turns out that no one likes her..."
A soft laugh could not stop piercing into her eardrums.
It turned out to be three girls from the same class who happened to meet here during the rest day.
Saeki Juri already had a heart of steel.In the past, she would never get angry because of such a trivial matter, because such words would not affect her skin and mood at all.
However, today is different.
She's in a bad mood right now.
When humans are in a bad mood, they are easily impulsive, and she is the same now.
She suddenly wanted to teach these girls a lesson.
——She has never fought back, because she is afraid that her too tricky, irritable, and withdrawn personality will hurt others, but everyone thinks that she is weak and can only escape, including Akashi Seijuro.
In addition to escaping, she will obviously do other things.
accurate.
[Aren’t you in the mood to rush the manuscript again? ] Qi Mu's eyes were straight, [To be honest, their evaluation made me very unhappy.Also, the discussion was too loud for me to ignore.I think we should consider letting them learn the basics of being human...]
——Okay Qi Mu-kun, don't do anything, or the world will be destroyed.Just leave it to me.
Zhuli stood up straight.
If Cu Chulainn was here, he would definitely teach these ignorant girls a lesson.But Cu Chulainn was shut up at home by her to do laundry, and now it was her occasion to show herself.
Saeki Zhuri put down his pen, with a wooden face, he stepped in front of the three girls in a few steps.She came suddenly, and the three female high school students were slightly taken aback. Then they forced out a smile and said hello, "... Good afternoon, Mr. Saeki, what a coincidence."
Saeki Juri raised his face, showing a ghostly smile of [making the TV group want to give lunch to all the male protagonists], he lifted his foot neatly, and kicked over the only empty chair next to the three girls.
The crisp sound of metal falling to the ground made the surroundings quiet.
"Gossiping all day long, is your life so boring?" Zhuli said with a cold face, and stepped on the metal chair that fell to the ground.
"?!" The three girls were startled, looking shocked, "This guy... said, talked, talked?!"
"I didn't respond to your pointing before, that's because my upbringing is better than yours." Saeki Juri unceremoniously compared his chest with his fingers, and said in a cold voice, "I know that being preached and It's hard to criticize, so I never come here to be harsh on you. But..."
"Sa, Saeki-san..."
"There must be a limit to being bored!" Saiki Tari kicked on the back of the chair, propping his elbows on his knees, with a slightly fierce expression, "Don't think that you can bully me casually because I don't get angry, woman!"
This Saeki Juri was so different from the usual Saeki Juri, the girls trembled, looked at me, I looked at you, looked at each other, whispered "sorry" one after another, and then left in dismay after checking out.
Looking at the backs of the girls who were scared away, Zhuli sighed.
I'm afraid what I said to them just now is more than what I said to them in the whole semester combined.There is no other reason, but after learning that he was "deceived by Bai Jun", he simply became suspicious of the world view, and he was unwilling to follow Bai's teachings.
To be honest, it's pretty refreshing.
She turned her head and saw Saiki Kusuo eating a chocolate brownie indifferently.Somehow, she seemed to feel that the person who had always been as expressionless as her was laughing.
[not bad. ] Qi Mu praised her, [You actually have such a decisive moment. ]
— Huh, I feel much better, thank you, Qi Mu-kun.Great views of London and Egypt.
[Can you draw with peace of mind? ]
——Should be fine.
***
The next day, Saeki Juri had calmed down.
"Cuchulin, I want to go home." She said to her followers.
"Isn't this the Master's home?" Cu Chulainn who was drying clothes on the balcony asked wonderingly.
"I mean, my family." Zhuli raised his head, and there was a bit of determination in his eyes, "Once I lost Mr. Bai, I figured out a lot of things. No one will comfort me anymore. "Hiding in the virtual network is fine." ', so I have to face the reality. The most important thing is - I have to find a way to find out the identity of Tsurumaru-sensei."
Cu Chulainn turned the clothes drying pole in his hand like a long gun, and joked, "It's a nice look."
"'The photos are synthetic' and 'it's just because I'm bored', I will never believe such excuses. It is very difficult for an ordinary high school girl like me to find out his identity. , but my family can do it." Zhuli clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "Besides, I have one more important thing to do..."
"what?"
"I want to break off my engagement with Seijuro."
"Oh——" Cu Chulainn showed an expression of great interest, "Master, are you serious? He was the person you liked in middle school, wasn't he? You even shed tears for him."
"Even so, the marriage contract that was made in a hurry is too irresponsible." Zhuli said, "Zhengjun and I have changed a lot. What is it to get engaged without knowing each other? My current personality, maybe It's not suitable for Zhengjun at all, and forcing him to be tied to me will make me feel guilty."
She knows how unlovable she is, and she knows how good Akashi Seijuro is.Because of this, she didn't want the two to make a hasty marriage contract because of their parents' wishes.
"That's good." Cu Chulainn closed the balcony door, "Master has finally become stronger."
Zhuli understood that such a change was forced.She lost Bai, and lost the most important pillar for building a lonely world.Now she can't find someone to confide in and comfort, so she can only deal with the matter one by one by herself.
"Considering my mother's strong personality, I may not be able to come back in a short time when I go home this time—" Zhuli held his forehead, and said in a sad tone, "So, Cu Chulainn will go with me too. In my real life When you are at home, be careful to hide, lest my parents discover your existence."
"I understand, I understand." The servant nodded perfunctorily, "Master, you are almost an adult, do your parents still care about your relationship status? It's everywhere..."
Zhuli: ...
It's not for this reason at all!
***
It has been a long time since Saeki Juri came home last time.This time, when she suddenly appeared at the door of the house, the servants and housekeepers who came to answer the door showed very surprised expressions.
"Miss Pearl?"
Mrs. Tamura, the housekeeper, looked at her in astonishment, "What happened to you? You came home suddenly, and we haven't prepared a welcoming ceremony, and we haven't notified Mrs. and Mrs...."
Zhuli raised her head, looked at the familiar and dazzling decorations in the hall, and said, "I want to talk to my mother or brother."
"Young master is also at home recently." Mrs. Tamura showed a kind smile, "Please go back to your room to rest first. We have been tidying up your room to ensure that it is exactly the same as when you lived in it last time. We will go to invite the young master immediately. come over."
Zhu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be nice to talk to my older brother, who is relatively easygoing, instead of my mother who can't stop talking, or my father who is stern and unkind all the time.
She returned to her room on the second floor.
Just as Mrs. Tamura said, this spacious western-style room maintains the furnishings of the previous residence, exuding a strong western style.In the corner of the room covered with plush white carpet, there is even a pile of long-eared rabbit dolls that she once loved; the piano cover that has not been touched for a long time is covered with white cloth rolled with lace, as if waiting to be uncovered like a treasure.
She sat down on her own bed. She was used to sleeping on a hard bed, and she suddenly sat on such a soft place, which made her a little uncomfortable.
Outside the large floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a wonderful view of the garden.The trees carefully tended by the gardener did not show fatigue due to the arrival of autumn, and the red and green transitions are extremely beautiful.A baroque white round table is placed on the green lawn, and the black tea that someone has enjoyed is placed on the table.
The golden light particles flew slowly, gathering around her to form the body of the servant.
Cu Chulainn bent down, pressed the bed she was sitting on, thought for a while, and said, "If you do it on this bed, it will be very comfortable."
"?" Zhuli looked at Cu Chulainn with a stern face, and said, "Do you believe that I used the name of Command Spell to turn you into a flower manure in the garden?"
"Don't—" Cu Chulainn said immediately, "I'm just talking. For things like hugging a woman, it's better to stay where you're used to..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor.Before the blue follower could finish his dirty words, it turned into light and dissipated in the air.Then, the door opened, and Saeki Shuri's older brother Kinichiro Saeki walked in.
He is a chubby young man, at the age of 24 or [-], because of his roundness, his face looks more approachable, without the arrogance of a rich man.
"Riri, long time no see." Jinichiro coughed, not knowing how to speak to his sister, "Do you have anything to ask me?"
When Juri Saeki was young, Jinichiro doted on his younger sister very much.At that time, everyone in the Zuobo family loved this little lady, even if she wanted the moon in the sky, they would pick it off for her.It's just that Zhuli's temper gradually changed later, and the relationship between Jinichiro and his younger sister became a little distant.
"I want to ask my brother to help me find someone." Zhuli took out a document from his bag and handed it over, "The basic information is already here. I want to know his movements, address and work in recent years. .”
Kinichiro nodded.
"Also, does brother know that my mother made a marriage contract for me?"
Kinichiro put away the folder, straightened his tie, and said, "This...brother knows about it. The young master of the Akashi family. Didn't Riri have a relationship with that young master...?"
"I want to break off the engagement."
Kinichiro was quiet for a while, and said: "The young master is a very good person, with excellent grades and outstanding abilities, and he will inherit the Akashi family's family business without accident. Don't you like such a fiancé?"
Zhuli lowered her head slightly.
"It's not that kind of problem. I know Zhengjun is very good, but Zhengjun and I are just friends now. Engagement or something... just forget it." She said in a low voice.
Jinichiro sighed, and said, "Since Riri moved out, this is the first time I've heard Riri say so much. It seems that you really don't like this marriage."
There was the sound of birdsong outside the window, and several servants were talking and laughing as they cleaned up the teacups in the garden.The autumn sun shines through the glass windows and falls on the red foreign wood floor.
"The current Zhengjun and I don't understand each other at all." Zhuli said.
"Is it because of this reason that Riri refused the marriage?" Jinichiro walked to the window and looked at the scene in the garden, "Do you really remember that you are the daughter of the Saeki family?"
Zhu Li was slightly taken aback.
"What's the meaning……"
"It means that, as the daughter of the Saeki family, the marriage contract is often not determined by 'love'. The family of the chaebol, it is like this." The button on Jinichiro's suit is slightly shining, which is a bit glaring, "As far as I can With such an excellent fiancé selected within the scope, mother already favors you very much."
Zhu Li stared blankly at her elder brother, a little speechless.
She knew that her family was extraordinary, which gave her the capital to be willful, mean and surly.At this moment, she suddenly realized how difficult it is to maintain such a huge family——
Perhaps, in front of the family business, the marriage happiness of the younger generation is nothing.
"However, it's a little too much for Riri, who has not received much favor from the family, to marry someone she doesn't know." Jinichiro smiled broadly, "If Riri wants to break off the engagement with the young master of the Akashi family , at least let father see Lili's excellence, and let father understand that Lili has other possibilities besides 'marriage'."
Saeki Juri clenched his fist lightly.
The father in my memory was a serious, serious and demanding person.He is always busy with business matters and is away from home all day long.Occasionally, when I saw Zhuli, he was always dissatisfied, frowning and picking on everything.
——Dissatisfied with Zhuli's personality, dissatisfied with Zhuli's piano, dissatisfied with Zhuli's grades, dissatisfied with Zhuli's school...
Fortunately, he was so busy that Zhuli could only see this man in black and white illustrations in newspapers and TV news.Even if one day she bumps into her father suddenly at home, a doting mother will rush out to defend her, leaving her father nowhere to get angry.
Such a man would indeed do such a thing.
What's more, Mrs. Saeki and Mr. Seitomi once thought that she and Seijuro were childhood sweethearts and had an affair with each other.Under the influence of Mrs. Saeki, Mr. Saeki may feel that he has done a good thing.
"Let the not-so-close daughter get engaged to the boy she likes! What a gentle father I am!"——Maybe the father thinks so, and it's not certain.
After talking with Jinichiro, Zhuri lay on her back on the bed.
How to make her father face up to her existence?
If he remained withdrawn and withdrawn as before, things would not have changed at all.
How about asking Mr. Bai...
No, Mr. Bai is no longer there.
If she wanted to ask her own answer, she just didn't want to cry and say "sorry" when Akashi asked.
——The first thing to do is to break out of your own cocoon, cut off Shiro's shackles, and try to face this extraordinary Tokyo again.
***
Monday's commute arrives.
On the pathway in front of Seirin High School, students walked together.Several girls gathered together, muttering what they had learned on the rest day.
"Really... That Saeki suddenly became very terribly angry."
"Hey, you're lying, right? I haven't seen her talk before, so how could she come to talk to you all of a sudden..."
"It's still her fault. Since you're not a princess, don't put on a princess face."
Just then, a black car stopped not far from them.Although it is dull black, the car logo that makes people unable to take their eyes off shines with the stench of money and capital.
The driver-like man in a black suit got out of the car and opened the rear door.Saeki Juri stepped out and stood at the school gate.
"Just deliver it to the corner next time." She said to the driver.
"But..." The driver showed a troubled expression, "This is Madam's order..."
"For me and my mother, choose one of the two." Zhuli said, "If you don't agree, I'll come by tram by myself in the future."
"Miss Zhuli, please don't do this!" The driver immediately panicked, "I will lose my job because of this."
These conversations fell into the ears of several girls verbatim.For a moment, they all seemed to know what "suffocation" felt like.Shocked, they couldn't even speak very well.
"No, I'm not mistaken...? Is Saeki really the daughter of a rich family?"
"I can't see it at all..."
"Why didn't she say it in school!"
Zhuli never cared what others said about her.As if she didn't hear what they said before, she turned to the girls expressionlessly and said, "Good morning."
Three girls: [shudder]
Standing at Seirin's doorway, Zhuri let out a slight breath. ——From now on, she will be a person who can be recognized by her father.No, not only a capable person, but also an enviable person.
"Hey, Saeki-san, long time no see." Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who was carrying a briefcase, greeted her with a smile, "The class is adjusted today, the first period is my class, do you want to go to the classroom together?"
Zhuri looked directly at Tsurumaru's face, slightly annoyed in his heart.
Did he think she would run away without making a sound?
Naive.
Not only will she not run away, but she will directly hate Tsurumaru Kuninaga.
Isn't this guy very popular among girls?Then let's do something.
"Okay. Let's go together." She calmly walked to Tsurumaru's side.
"Then do you want me to help you carry things?" Tsurumaru was a little surprised, and asked with a smile.
"Thank you." Passed the package.
Teachers and students walk side by side, this combination looks a bit strange.The expressions of several girls in the same class became more and more strange, and the whispering sounded again.
"Are they so familiar?"
"impossible……"
Saeki Juri turned her head quietly, and said to them: "Please give me your advice."
Three girls: [shudder]
Is Saeki Juri really such a person? !
In the past, I was silently squeezed out, my character was terrible,
