Chapter 178 Towards the Daily Life of Winter Camping (End)
Toru Watanabe sat by the window, his elbows on the table, dozing off.
Koizumi Aona walked up to him and patted his shoulder.
Watanabe Toru opened his eyes.
"Falling asleep?" Koizumi Aona asked in a low voice.
"No, I'm just resting my eyes." Watanabe Toru replied.
"Check it again carefully." Koizumi Aona said and walked towards the first group.
Subconsciously staring at the teacher's graceful back for two seconds, Watanabe Toru supported the right side of his face with his right hand and continued to sleep.
Outside the window, airplane clouds cut the winter sky in half.
The date is November 27th, the last exam of the monthly test.
The first study session was four days ago.
The bell rings.
"Exam time is up, please put down your pens."
Toru Watanabe yawned with his eyes half open. He became more alert only when Koizumi Aona collected the test papers and the classroom became noisy.
“This society is too difficult!”
"Was it Hulagu Khan or Kublai Khan who defeated Mulayi?"
"Who knows that kind of thing!"
"Why would they test this kind of question? Is the history teacher crazy? I saw he was always talking about the Three Kingdoms, so I read it desperately before the test, but he ended up testing Mongolia!"
"Watanabe-kun, what's the result of the last math problem?"
There was a lot of noise and the class didn't quiet down until Koizumi Aona walked into the classroom again.
"Thank you for your hard work. The monthly test has ended and the results will be announced on time next Monday."
A student raised his hand: "Teacher, can you announce the results after we come back from camping?"
"Didn't you do well in the exam?" Koizumi Aona asked everyone with a smile.
“Super bad!”
"It's too hard! Even harder than the national exam!"
Everyone started complaining.
After listening to them, Koizumi Aona said, "If your English declines, I will be angry, teacher."
The boy immediately expressed his loyalty, saying things like "I will never lose a point in English" and "I guarantee that English will be the highest score among the five subjects".
There are boys who can do these two things at the same time, but there is no one who can guarantee it 100%.
Even someone as smart as Toru Watanabe cannot guarantee that English will get the highest score among the five subjects.
After all, he always got full marks in several subjects, so it was hard to say which one was the best.
After finishing talking about the exam, Koizumi Aona signaled everyone to keep quiet.
"Although we still have to announce the results, analyze the test papers, and sort out the wrong questions, we will go camping next week, so don't let the scores affect your mood."
"Students who did well in the exam, please enjoy yourself, and students who did not do well, please relax."
"Yes——" Everyone became happy again.
"Squad leader, please pass out the Camping Manual."
"Yes." Class monitor Kazumi Ikeda and the male class leader walked up to the podium and distributed the "Camping Manual" produced by the Student Union to their classmates.
Taking this opportunity, Koizumi Aina said:
"First of all, it's about the cost. Everyone should talk to their parents on Saturday or Sunday. Each person..."
"Skiing and fishing. The campground has special equipment, and the rental fee is also included..."
"At the picnic, everyone will be divided into groups. The food group must remember to buy fresh ingredients. And the kitchen utensils group, if you have any at home..."
After the class meeting, the school organized a general cleaning because school ended early.
Toru Watanabe was responsible for cleaning the window next to him.
Just as he was breathing on the glass, Kunii Osamu, who was in charge of moving the desks, started chatting with him while moving his desk.
"Watanabe."
"Um?"
"Ichiki-san is in charge of ingredients in her class, just like me."
"Congratulations." Toru Watanabe rubbed a black spot.
"This is fate." Kunii Osamu moved Watanabe Toru's desk, "I asked her to go shopping for ingredients together after school on Tuesday!"
"It's pretty good." The black spot was very stubborn, and Watanabe Toru let out a sigh of relief.
"But there are several girls in their class. Please help me lead them away."
"What do you think of me, Master Watanabe?"
"The handsome second male lead next to the male lead."
"I'll give you another chance." Toru Watanabe whipped the rag at the air.
The air made a crackling sound.
"We'll have a barbecue at Xuxuyuan later! It's my treat!"
"Kunii, what is the relationship between us? Your business is my business."
"You just want to barbecue, right?"
"How could that be? We in Iwate Prefecture are always willing to help others!"
After the glass was wiped clean, Toru Watanabe, who had nothing to do, was called by the girls to help take out the trash.
After a busy day, we finally finished the general cleaning and everyone went to participate in club activities.
Toru Watanabe carried his schoolbag and walked slowly towards the Human Observation Department.
In the corridor, two girls wearing sweatpants under their skirts were playing around by lifting each other's skirts.
When they saw Watanabe Toru, they quickly covered their mouths and noses with their hands, turned their heads away shyly and hid aside.
If possible, Toru Watanabe hopes that the conflict between Kiyono Rin and Kujo Miki can be resolved by lifting each other's skirts.
Walking through the elevated corridor dyed red by the setting sun, he entered the Friday activity classroom amid the sound of the wind band practicing.
By the window, the beautiful girl was reading a book as usual.
The room temperature was comfortable and warm enough to make people want to sleep, and some people did so - Miki Kujo slept on the sofa.
The eldest daughter didn't wake up until after school.
It seems that the aftereffects of Watanabe Toru's stay at Chiyoda this week are extraordinary.
After a cold and rainy Saturday and Sunday, it was already Monday morning, the first day of December.
The system is useless and cheating. It has been refreshed.
After several useless attempts, Toru Watanabe no longer cared about checking the timing and opened it directly.
【New product: Time bookmark】
[Time Bookmark: Time is a book, so let’s just read this for today]
[Tip: Set the release time in advance, there is no length limit. Once used, the player himself will also fall into a paused state]
Meaning, if I use this bookmark, nothing will change in the world except that the points column will be reduced by 1,000?
Even the user himself only knows that time has been stopped, but there is no difference between him and other people?
Was he just trying to cheat for points? Did he not intend to suspend the game?
Watanabe Toru spent 5,000 points to redeem five cards, betting that Yu Sheng might be able to refresh an item that is immune to time pause.
Next is skills.
[Skills: Beginner - Singing (100), Master - Bread Baking (1000), Master - Snooker (10,000), Master - Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (100,000)]
"Coronary what?"
Watanabe Toru thought, 'Maybe this is human alchemy', and turned on the screen of his mobile phone in the dark.
Unable to adapt to the strong light, my eyes narrowed subconsciously.
After a while, he threw his phone aside and went to sleep.
"Heart bypass surgery is heart bypass surgery, why are you talking about coronary artery bypass grafting? Are you bullying me for not reading medical books?"
December 1st, light rain, southwest wind.
After doing sit-ups and push-ups and taking a shower, Toru Watanabe walked down the stairs of his rental house.
Look up at the sky through the transparent umbrella.
The breath exhaled from the mouth flies in the wind like white clouds.
Every time the white mist rose and dissipated in the rain, the cold seemed to grow even colder.
He was still wearing a shirt and a suit jacket today, with the buttons of the jacket unbuttoned.
All the credit should go to the [Qi and Blood Medicine]. Even though he has been exercising every day since spring, Toru Watanabe still has self-awareness.
"I am not arrogant, which is also my greatness. The brackets are from Kiyono Rin."
Toru Watanabe rotated the transparent umbrella, and the rain flew up to form mini waterfalls. He took a step forward and walked towards the station.
On rainy days, the shoe cabinet is wet, with water droplets from umbrellas and dirty water from students' feet.
Toru Watanabe put the umbrella into the bucket and took out the love letter and indoor shoes from the shoe cabinet.
I stuffed the love letter into my schoolbag and was putting on my shoes when Kiyono Rin came over.
She wrapped herself up tightly, wearing a beautiful and fashionable winter coat over her school uniform in addition to her scarf.
"Good morning, Kiyono-san."
"Good morning." Qingye Rin's little face, with only her eyes exposed, glanced at him, then glanced at his open uniform.
"It's not about being cool, I'm really not cold." Toru Watanabe explained.
"lie."
"Well... it would be a lie to say that I don't have any intention of playing it cool, but I really am not cold. If you don't believe me, touch my hand."
As he spoke, Toru Watanabe subconsciously pulled his right hand out of his trouser pocket and stretched it towards Kiyono Rin.
He stretched it out halfway and suddenly realized that this action was inappropriate. Besides, Qingye Rin could tell the truth from falsehood in his words, so he was about to put it back in his pocket.
But his hand had already been held by Qingye Rin.
Her hands were cold beyond imagination, like walking barefoot on tiles in winter.
Her hands were small and tender, just like a newborn sika deer, so tiny and pitiful.
Qingye Rin nodded, as if acknowledging that he was not cold, and continued to change her shoes slowly.
Watanabe Toru stood beside her, wondering whether to give her some [Qi and Blood Medicine].
This is indeed a good thing, worthy of the awkward introduction of 'replenishing the innate, nourishing the acquired, and moisturizing the source of life'.
But Qingye Rin has been afraid of the cold for more than just one or two days. If he suddenly gets better this winter, the eldest lady in his family will definitely notice it.
Qingye Shen never exercises, and with such a sudden change, Kujo Miki will immediately target him because of his criminal record.
Then, concealing the [Qi and Blood Medicine] is a small matter. Not giving it to his girlfriend but giving it to other women will definitely usher in a bloody winter.
It's really difficult.
Qingye Rin changed her shoes and the two walked towards the floor where the first-year students were.
Toru Watanabe knew that she was too cold to talk, so he didn't take the initiative to chat.
Smelling the fresh and clear scent on her body - a bit like the first breath of air on a winter morning, Watanabe Toru walked into his classroom without saying a word.
In the classroom, even the strong and healthy Kunii Osamu put on a sweater.
Regarding Watanabe Toru's arrogant outfit, the men and women in Class 4 all agreed that he was just trying to be cool.
Watanabe Toru was too lazy to explain to them.
He didn't want to let these people touch his hands.
At noon, the grades were posted. Even though it was raining and the corridor where the grades were posted was flooded, it was still crowded with people.
Kunii Osamu was concerned about Ikki Aoi's grades, so he took Watanabe Toru and Saito Keisuke along.
"Please make way."
As soon as Watanabe Toru opened his mouth, a girl at the innermost corner shouted:
"Watanabe-kun, you are first again! Congratulations!"
"Thank you!" Watanabe Toru responded with a louder voice.
"Mine! Mine!" Saito Keisuke raised his hand.
The girl turned around to see who it was and recognized it as the boy who often played with Watanabe Toru, and glanced at the ranking.
"Saito-san, you are 29th."
"Woohoo!" Saito Keisuke waved his arms, "I'm finally in the top 30! All my cram school lessons are worth it!"
Kunijiro Xiu didn't ask, relying on his excellent physique, he kept squeezing in.
In addition to his own grades, he also has to look at Ikki Aoi's grades, but the fact that he is looking at Ikki Aoi's grades obviously cannot be known to others.
Toru Watanabe and Keisuke Saito were waiting on the side.
"Is this Kunii guy a fool?" Saito Keisuke said casually, and then talked to Watanabe Toru about his painful experience in the cram school.
"That teacher is absolutely perverted. He gives exams every day, explains after the exams, and then gives another exam right away. He even has to time himself before going to the toilet..."
After a while, the national well was repaired.
"I've made progress too!" He excitedly strangled Keisuke Saito 's neck with his wrist.
Watanabe Toru knew what he meant. Not only did he improve, but Ikki Aoi also improved.
"It seems that learning is effective, and I can continue it next time." After eating KFC, Watanabe Toru spoke very nicely.
"I'll be counting on you when the time comes!" Kunii Osamu let go of Saito Keisuke who was struggling powerlessly and hit Watanabe Toru on the chest.
"Study session?" Saito Keisuke rubbed his neck and yelled , "What did you do behind my back? You didn't even call me!"
"I told you that you said you wanted to study in the Computer Research Department."
"I was just trying to make the most of my time playing games. Do you know what time my evening cram school ends? Remember to call me next time!"
The three of them returned to the classroom chatting and laughing.
For the students of Kamikawa who are dedicated to learning, only if they get good grades in the monthly tests can they really have fun in the winter camping.
If your grades drop, you will be worried about inviting girls to dance at the bonfire party, fearing that it will affect your studies.
After school, Kujo Miki was not there, Kiyono Rin was the only patient, and Watanabe Toru was too embarrassed to mock her.
We can only wait until the cherry blossoms bloom next year, and then we can laugh at the two of them to our heart's content.
The two days of analyzing the test papers during the exam week passed in a flash, and it was Tuesday, the day before the winter camping.
After school, Toru Watanabe followed Kunii Osamu to buy ingredients for a picnic.
For the sake of Xuxuyuan BBQ, he dutifully played the role of 'the handsome second male lead next to the male protagonist' so that other girls would not disturb Kunijima Osamu.
"How was the chat?" he asked Kunii Osamu after separating from the girl.
"As you said, we have agreed to attend the test of courage together! Are you sure that the suspension bridge effect you mentioned is effective?" Kunii Osamu said excitedly.
"I don't know if it will work, but it's still worth a try. Leave it to me next. I guarantee that she will be scared into throwing herself into your arms."
"Is it really okay for us to scheme against a girl like this?"
"That's fine."
"I'm just talking! Don't take it seriously! I can only rely on you, Watanabe!"
"You haven't realized the essence of the matter, Kuni. Love is war! As long as it's not against the law, you can use any means to pursue a girl. What's a mere test of courage? Next time, I'll teach you a few more tricks, so your dinner won't be in vain."
Just as Toru Watanabe finished boasting, the system, which had no presence except at the beginning of the month, flashed.
【You have a new email】
I separated from Kunii Osamu and got on the train back to the rental house.
