CHAPTER 3: Jin Teng AcademyAt night.
Zhou Han who"s staring at the old tan sauerkraut beef noodles turned his head and looked at Miyazaki Airi opposite of him having a hot curry.
Suddenly a sense of frustration arose spontaneously inside of him.
"How come I don"t have a share?" Zhou Han asked, feeling extremely dissatisfied at the differential treatment.
Miyazaki Airi was astonished, she raised her head and said, "Why do I have to give you a share?"
"We..." Zhou Han paused. "Aren"t we a family?"
"Oh," Miyazaki Airi thought a bit and then answered. "Although what you said is true, I still don"t have an obligation to take care of your diet. On the contrary, you should be the one who is taking care of me."
Zhou Han"s face changed, it was now filled with hesitation, he looked at the old tan sauerkraut beef noodles somewhat reluctant to let go.
After a while, Zhou Han with a very unwilling expression pushed the instant noodles into Miyazaki Airi.
"What?" Miyazaki Airi raised her alertness, unable to perceive Zhou Han"s intention.
"I am taking care of you, take the instant noodles let"s exchange it with your curry... ..." Zhou Han said with a blushed face and gasping for breath. If you ever saw his face, you wouldn"t be able to tell whether he is pretending to be stupid or just really thick?
"You... ... do you take me for a fool??" Miyazaki Airi"s face didn"t look good.
"Do you think I am tricking you? You really misunderstood me, In my country the instant noodles together with aunties are well-known, they are even exported to overseas as a famous product. Besides, eating instant noodles is beneficial to the body, it is rich with multivitamins... ... " Zhou Han in
order to the eat curry stood up and started talking nonsense.
"Stop!" Miyazaki Airi shouted at Zhou Han to make him stop, she didn"t want him to continue to speak, "I choose to continue to eat curry, as for the famous and nutritious cup noodles, you can still enjoy it... ..."
Zhou Han bitterly sat down. I just wasted my breath, It was said that women with huge b.r.e.a.s.t.s lack intelligence, then it means that women without it is really smart. It seems like I won"t be able to eat the curry, then my only choice now is just to imagine eating it... ...
Zhou Han while watching Miyazaki Airi eats her curry, fiercely munched away his instant noodles and immediately feels that his old sauerkraut tasted like curry. He then secretly admired his own imagination.
"I have something to tell you."
"What?" Zhou Han looked blankly, suddenly it crossed in his mind of what she was going to say, "If it"s about money then I don"t have it, otherwise I will starve to death! I am very poor, so if you try to touch my piggy bank, then you"ll have to go through over my dead body... ..."
"That"s not what I"m talking about... ..." Miyazaki Airi said, she feels that the more she talks with him, the more Zhou Han looks like a complete fool, she even thought that his brain doesn"t work normally like the other people do.
"Ah, so it"s not about money... ..." Zhou Han thought, he said, "But to be concerned about my body isn"t good, even if my body"s heart is dead, don"t even think about it... ..."
"Hah!" Miyazaki Airi with a gloomy face raised her eyebrows, a swishing noise sounded right on the side of Zhou Han"s head, the spoon in her hands was tossed out like a knife that deeply nailed to the wall.
Zhou Han"s strands of hair were ruthlessly cut off and fell slowly to the ground, he was afraid to swallow his saliva, "Hold on... ... sorry, I"m just kidding."
"Humph!" Miyazaki Airi gave a cold harumph, she snappily said, "You listen to me, tomorrow if you are unlucky enough and a.s.signed to a different cla.s.s, never let anyone know that we know each other, and especially don"t tell anyone that we are living under the same roof, do you understand?"
"Right... ... of course... ... I"m also aware that it would be troublesome if it was known by everyone, we should also act that we didn"t know each other in school." Zhou Han said very seriously. The reason is Zhou Han"s image in school is very bad and embarra.s.sing, he was also known to be a man that should be avoided no matter what in school.
First, because Zhou Han regularly exchanges blows with someone.
Second, because Zhou Han"s character is strange, no one wants to get close to him.
If the other people knew that he also lives with a younger sister, presumably the male students will explode with a complaint.
Miyazaki Airi didn"t expect Zhou Han to easily compromise, she even thought that he will fight and resist several times for his dignity, but it seems that there is no need to worry about.
"I am full." Miyazaki Airi got up off the chair and leave, "You can eat the rest of the curry if you want, anyway, feeding it you or the dog is also the same... ..."
Zhou Han"s face darkened, feeling embarra.s.sed. At present, he doesn"t have any way to grasp a hold of Miyazaki Airi, he can"t even fight her directly or try to scold her. If he did that his father will definitely halt his economic lifeline. Even if he is the only one who originally lived here, Miyazaki Airi
now has the ability to totally suppress him, like a capitalist that can even make him her personal punching bag.
"Oh, that"s right." Miyazaki Airi suddenly remembered a problem, if Zhou Han had a girlfriend, then with their daily interaction, it is inevitable that the situation about the two of them would be brought out, "Do you have a girlfriend?"
Zhou Han"s face changed and showed a stupid expression.
"I suddenly feel like a fool asking this question to you." Miyazaki Airi put her palm on her face. "How could you possibly have a girlfriend... ..."
Miyazaki Airi shook her head, she returned to her room and closed the door.
What"s that att.i.tude of looking down on people! So what if I"m still a single dog? Zhou Han can only curse Miyazaki Airi inside his heart so he decided to start his meal.
After cursing inside his heart, Zhou Han"s anger dissipated a lot, he looked at Miyazaki Airi"s leftover curry to eat... ...
It was said that an upright samurai cannot be disgraced, think about Miyazaki Airi"s aloof att.i.tude just now, I actually considered that I would have to bow down for the sake of five pecks of rice, she despises me too much! Zhou Han thought.
And stared at the curry for a while...
However, wasting food is not a good behavior at all, I"m not envious, I"ll only take a small bite, I just want to use my gourmet"s insight to criticize her food and deem it awful!
Finally, after finding reasons for himself, Zhou Han decided to have a taste of Miyazaki Airi"s leftover curry, he placed himself in front of the curry and tasted a mouthful of it... ...
"Delicious!"
Zhou Han covered his mouth, he didn"t expect that he would speak out subconsciously, he looked back to see Miyazaki Airi"s room, there was no movement or activity but only silence.
Zhou Han sighed in relief. If Miyazaki Airi knew that I was enjoying her curry, then that would be too embarra.s.sing! I should have to protect my remaining dignity!
Zhou Han began to quietly devour the curry, he completely forgot the etiquette a gourmet should have and after looking at his table manners, he might even lick the plate clean... ...
In the room, Miyazaki Airi who"s sorting her things heard a coughing sound from the outside, it"s the sound of someone who choked from eating too fast, she felt somewhat helpless.
She smiled, shook her head, put on her headphones, and listened to music.
Late at night, Zhou Han in his room hiding inside the blankets of his bed, surrept.i.tiously doing something... ...
"Ah ah ah... ... not bad, wow! great! It seems that I can only seriously speed up the frequency of shooting... ..."
Zhou Han"s bed was violently shaking, after a while, the sound of a refreshing and comfortable groan was heard.
After the quilt is lifted, Zhou Han was seen sweating profusely, he looked at the phone, and said to himself——
"What a million prize?!" Before I receive this, I actually have to clear first the plane war, the operator is really interestingly hateful... ..."
Zhou Han took the phone and continued to read and see if there"s still any requirements needed.
Suddenly, the image was broken, and several white lights in the center of the screen formed into a white egg.
What should I play? Ah! The next step is to accept the game? Zhou Han scratched his head.
「"Congratulations! You received the gift of the creator, Elizabeth, who"s in charge of the network, please be patient for three days and let her hatch."」
Zhou Han face was expressionless, after three seconds, he crazily uninstalls the program.
"Take care your sister——Ah! I only care about the million prize!" Zhou Han exasperatedly retorted.
When it was unloading to half, the chat box came out again.
「"Do you really have the heart to unload her?"」
Zhou Han did not hesitate to click OK.
「"You are unable to be patient, are you sure you want to give up?"」
Zhou Han"s face darkened. The uninstalling program of this software is really annoying! he thought, and once again chose to click the OK b.u.t.ton.
「"You can hatch out a beautiful girl with huge chests, are you sure you want to uninstall?!"」
Zhou Han was suddenly struck by lightning, he immediately clicked the cancel b.u.t.ton, for fear that he might accidentally uninstall it.
He then quietly took care of the eggs, with the following tools on the screen, he patiently cared it with a heating to keep it warm, and also added a music for her to listen.
"Oh..." Zhou Han sighed and said, "I"m really a caring and wonderful man."
After saying that, Zhou Han didn"t notice the ashamed expression of the mysterious egg... ...
...
The next morning, in front of the Jin Teng Academy, the students who came from different parts of the country gathered here.
This academy is one of the main focus of high schools in the city, with wisteria flowers as the academy"s most abundant flower, on May 28th of each year is the anniversary of Jin Teng Academy, it"s also the best time for wisteria flowers to bloom.
In front of the school, a 500-meter long grove of wisteria can be seen, and when it"s in full bloom it attracts a large number of tourists, it"s also considered as one of the most beautiful attractions in the city.
But at this time is just the end of the summer vacation in July, although the wisteria is still in bloom, there"s already signs of withering, for the new soph.o.m.ore students of Jin Teng Academy they"re separately allocated in Arts and Sciences, and will once again be divided after having their choice.
As for Zhou Han, he doesn"t really have a talent for liberal arts and got no brains for science, but he still chose to learn it. The reason he chose to study in liberal arts is that he was afraid his father would inherit to him his footsteps, to also embark on the road of an archaeologist.
The information of the rea.s.signment is posted on the information column of the academy, and the examination results of each school are also published here.
At this time, before the information column, students wearing a black British school uniform are gathered, searching to where they"re a.s.signed. A non-stop chatter was heard, together with the joy and sorrow of the outcome.
The crowd of students didn"t know when to split, they just let someone voluntarily find a way out. The girls are somewhat dissatisfied and the boys just chose to left quickly, bluntly expressing of what they want.
A girl with a long hair, wearing small brown leather shoes, with black knee-high socks, slowly walked towards the information bar.
The girl looked down at her hands to read a book called "Jane Eyre" as if used to walk and read, she neither looked upon the road nor disturbed by the people around her.
The knee-high socks and latticed skirt are in between of an absolute area of white, and certainly, you wouldn"t know how many eyes of boys are attracted to it.
She stopped in front of the information column, looked up and saw a name, her eyes flickered, that seemed like she looked at someone else"s name, then turned around and left, while looking down continuing to read.
It took a very long time for the crowd to disperse, many of the boys have not yet recovered from what they saw in their eyes, and it stayed on the girl who disappeared slowly from their sight.
Zhou Han picked his nose, he also got in front of the information column and met the girl face to face.
After seeing her, Zhou Han"s expression looked stiff, his stretched out hands are trembling, and also thought if he should call out and greet her, "Ah...
..."
Who knows if the girl directly treated Zhou Han as an air, she just pa.s.sed him by.
"Today, the weather is truly great! Ha... Ha... ..." Zhou Han with a sharp hand scratched his head and quickly dissolved his embarra.s.sment.
From afar, the few boys who saw him sneered.
Zhou Han"s face turned grim, staring in the sky and recalled his past.
The mocking boys where also looking at the distant scenery acting to be the same as him.
It seems that Zhou Han"s notoriety is really deeply rooted.
Zhou Han glanced back at the young girl, wondering of what she was thinking, and then lowered his head, to see where he was a.s.signed.
The mysterious girl called Lin Nianwei, she and Zhou Han had a secret past——
1. “单身(dānshēn)” means “single,” and “狗(ɡǒu)” means “dog.” In China, if you call someone a dog it’s considered as an insult. Because “狗(ɡǒu)” is normally a negative or derogatory word in Chinese.
2. 不为五斗米折腰 - literally means "to not bow down for the sake of five decalitres of rice." It"s an idiom that implies that "to not compromise one"s integrity just to earn something small."
