Zongman: Is It Okay For High School Students To Know How To Breathe?

"Wait a minute."

Hearing the sound, Zao Menyun turned his head instinctively, but saw that Yukinoshita on the opposite side did not go back immediately, but looked at himself with some confusion.

"What's the matter?" Zao Menyun couldn't help being a little confused, because he really couldn't imagine that there would be anything under the snow looking for him.

"You really can't cook?"

"Why am I lying to you? I have a lot of instant food products in my house."

At this moment, Yukinoshita also took a deep breath, and said with an unchanged expression.

"Then how about it, my car almost hit you when school started, I will make an extra serving of curry today."

"No, no, no need, I forgot about that, Yukinoshita-student can completely ignore it." Zao Menyun waved his hands again and again.

There is still one waiting at home, how could he eat the rice cooked by Yukinoshita, isn't this blatantly telling Akane Otome that she doesn't want to eat the rice cooked by her!

But Yukinoshita frowned and looked at Zao Menyun, she managed to let herself speak, just to avoid the little bit of guilt at that time, he actually detested herself!

"Are you questioning my cooking skills?"

"Don't worry, I'll only do it for you this time. And I won't enter your house. Give me your ingredients, I'll make an extra, and you can come up and get it."

Are you kidding, I gave you the ingredients, what did the person above say?

"I was fine at the time, and Yukinoshita-san didn't need to feel guilty, really! Compared to me, it was Hihama's dog who was almost hit."

"You can go and spend more time with Yubihama, anyway, that guy seems to like you very much."

Seeing Zao Menyun's refusal, Yukinoshita just snorted angrily, and then left directly.

And Zao Menyun also wiped the sweat from his forehead, entered his apartment with a smile, and returned to the living room.

When I came to the living room just now, I saw Akane Otome writing something with a pen. After seeing Zao Menyun come back, he hurriedly put it away again.

"Huh? Is it homework at school? Yeotome is really hardworking, no wonder she studies so well."

Akane Otome smiled and nodded, thinking of the teaching from her good friend just now. You can't be too nice to him, or it will appear that you have a good impression of him. If you say it first, then she will be the loser!

"These you bought...is curry."

Looking at the thing in Zao Menyun's hand, Suobi Nvqian took it directly, and then walked to Zaomen's kitchen.

"Borrow your kitchen, let me make dinner today."

"okay."

.....

For some reason, Zao Menyun, who was sitting on the sofa waiting for dinner, suddenly felt restless.

By the way, Zao Menyun thought to himself that he usually eats whatever he thinks of, or makes some instant food products by himself. There is no such thing as waiting for someone to cook for him.

Even in the family, Zao Menyun is not used to eating with other people, and always asks the chef to make an extra serving and send it to his room.

After a long time, when Zao Menyun was about to get up and go to the kitchen to have a look, Akane Otome, who had already changed into home clothes, had her hair pulled up and was wearing an apron, came out carrying two plates of curry rice.

Put the curry rice in front of Zao Menyun, although the smell of the food is very fragrant, it looks very tempting. However, Zaomen's eyes were mostly on Akane who took off her apron in front of her.

Akane Otome with her hair rolled up showed her snow-white neck, and she also showed a different kind of gentleness in school or elegance in formal occasions when she changed into home clothes.

At this moment, Zao Menyun felt as if the two were newlyweds, and his wife had just cooked a special dish at home.

But in the next second, Zao Menyun returned to normal.

 …

"I'm sorry for what happened to you all these years."

Suddenly, Suetuqian still said what she wanted to say.

His sudden departure made Zao Menyun fall into a lonely situation again, which was his own fault both emotionally and rationally.

But Zao Menyun just smiled.

"It's nothing, I'm used to it anyway. What about you... have you found the freedom you want?"

"not yet...."

"Oh...."

At the subsequent dinner table, neither of them said much, nor did they talk about the past.

They were like a pair of familiar strangers. After the meal, Zao Menyun packed up his master bedroom and let Akane Otome sleep there tonight, while he remade the bed on his side.

The atmosphere at home was a little weird, because neither of them knew what to say to each other.

So.... Zao Menyun plans to advance his evening training.

After speaking with Akane Suotome, she walked out of the apartment alone.

Watching Zao Menyun walk away with a samurai sword wrapped in cloth, Akane Otome also thought of the conversation just now.

"Is he still complaining that I left in pursuit of the so-called freedom... Just wait, I will make you forgive me, and finally fall in love with me uncontrollably!"

And Zao Menyun, who left the apartment, did not go to the mountains and forests he had been frequented all along, but found a nearby park to sit down.

Since middle school, Zao Menyun forced himself to practice breathing every day.

This is not only to keep myself from being disturbed by monsters, but also because I really have nothing to do.

But today...maybe he was a little tired, Zao Menyun jumped onto a tree in the park and looked up at the starry sky above his head.

Zao Menyun liked the feeling of training alone because of loneliness, and even the feeling of fighting some monsters!

In Kyoto, Zao Menyun has seen many big monsters, although most of the monsters don't like to fight, and they won't attack humans easily.

But Zao Menyun still killed many monsters who wanted to take his life, this point, he didn't tell anyone except himself.

Zao Menyun's father believed in himself, but in order not to worry him, he didn't say anything.

Natsume counted himself as the one who has a deep friendship at present. Although the two have not known each other for a long time, when the two of them narrated their experiences, they had already drawn closer.

But Zao Menyun still didn't tell Natsume about his monster slaying, just like what he said... Natsume is a gentle person, and most of the gentle people around him are some harmless monsters.

Experiences are different and people see things differently.

Zao Menyun has seen those monsters who don't take human life seriously, so he has always maintained a distant attitude towards monsters.

Zao Menyun, who has been in school for nearly a month and has been exercising for four years, is just sitting on a tree tonight, thinking about Akane Otome.

"Why did she come to me?"

Zao Menyun thought carefully about all the conversations he had with Akane Otome in the past month.

Suddenly, he thought of the conversation he had just had with Yukinoshita downstairs.

Yukinoshita Yukino: "The car almost hit you, so I can cook you a meal."

.....

Akane Otome: "I'm sorry for what happened to you all these years."

.....

Zao Menyun smiled, he probably knew why Akane Otome came to his house, and even helped to cook.

Because Akane Otome is actually the same as Yukinoshita, no matter how cold and unapproachable they are, they both have emotions that normal people would have.

Because Yukinoshita Yukino almost bumped into him, she wanted to cook for herself out of guilt. As for the driver who came to deliver the hush money at that time, it was probably Yang Nao's doing.

And in the same way, Akane Otome came to him only because of her miserable situation in the middle school.

Is it because of the same guilt, or is it just pure pity.....
