Chapter 26: Materialism
After listening to Linzhou's introduction, Jiang Xiyue was dumbfounded. What to say? He is indeed a otaku, so powerful.
How do you remember so much stuff?
But the coffee hadn't arrived yet, so the girl could only reach out and flip to other pictures.
"What about this?"
"This is my wife, her name is Nakano Miku." Linzhou gave the answer at the speed of light, and then continued to be in a daze.
Now I have an idea to refuse taking photos. I will drink a cup of coffee, go home and slack off in the evening, and practice some questions at the same time. The little girl is looking forward to it, and I must not let her down during the mock exam.
Hearing Linzhou calling the paper figure his wife, Jiang Xiyue pouted, took the phone, quickly flipped to her own photo and put it on the table.
“This, this?”
Taking a glance at the screen, Linzhou knew that Jiang Xiyue was becoming competitive again, and he held his chin and began to ponder.
"This girl is cute. Although she is a three-dimensional creature, she has regular features, delicate skin, and gentle eyes... Let's call her... Potato Mine."
Jiang Xiyue's eyes were originally curved when she heard someone praising her, but she was broken by just one sentence.
What is this and what is that?
Why is it still a potato mine? What happened to that three-dimensional beautiful girl...
Probably after appreciating the girl's deflated expression, Linzhou apologized before Jiang Xiyue jumped up and bit his knee.
"Well... no, it's a cute pretty girl, a Q version pretty girl, super cute..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xiyue's expression turned from gloomy to bright, and the smile on her face returned. She continued to search on her phone, and finally found a Rem action figure and showed it to Linzhou.
"How about me versus her?"
"You too... How can the two-dimensional world be compared with the three-dimensional world? But I can guarantee that you are the cutest girl I have ever seen in the three-dimensional world."
After saying that, Linzhou picked up the water on the table and took a big gulp.
I almost said it.
You are not worthy of saying such things. Jiang Xiyue will hire a killer to assassinate you, or someone will sneak in at night when you are sleeping at home and strangle you to death with stockings...
While Jiang Xiyue was turning to the next photo, Sakurai Kei came over to the two of them with coffee and cake.
"Xiao Jiang, eat quickly. I'll treat you to dinner today."
After placing the cake in front of Jiang Xiyue, Sakurai Hui placed another cup of coffee in front of Linzhou.
"Since you are Xiao Jiang's boyfriend, I will call you Brother Lin. I only put a little sugar in this coffee, so it is not bitter. The one Xiao Jiang drinks is just milk and sugar."
After putting the things down, the hostess continued to work.
Jiang Xiyue, who got the cake, didn't say a word and just focused on eating the cake.
Seeing this situation, Linzhou also tasted it himself, and the taste was exactly the same as what he had eaten at Jiang Xiyue's house that day.
It's very sweet, but it's okay when eaten with coffee.
But he began to wonder how sweet the coffee Jiang Xiyue drank was...
But no matter how curious he was, he couldn't snatch it and have a taste.
After Jiang Xiyue ate half of the cake, she looked up and spoke to Lin Zhou, "Zhou Zhou, what is the plan for the tug-of-war competition? Can you tell me about it?"
"Keep it a secret. After all, you are the one taking the lead." Linzhou picked up the cup with a smile and took a sip with an elegant movement.
This matter must never be told to anyone. If Jiang Xiyue knew about it, there would be nothing to do.
No one is more suitable than her to be the first to take the lead.
…
After hearing Linzhou's words, Jiang Xiyue did not continue to ask. This guy really underestimated her awareness.
It is acceptable to pay a small price for victory.
More important than this is tomorrow's photo shoot. I have to perform well and not mess up as the principal has asked me to do.
The task now is to persuade Linzhou to agree to take a photo. There are few people in the school who are more handsome than him. This guy is a nerd, and his face is wasted. He can make a living .
"Zhou Zhou, we'll go take the photo tomorrow. It will be quick. We'll only have ten or so photos."
"No, that old man Deng dared to plot against me. Not only will I not go tomorrow, I will also use Room 502 to block the keyhole of his office." When it comes to taking pictures, Linzhou gets angry and threatens people with his position as the principal.
Is this something a principal who is supposed to teach and educate students can do?
If there wasn't someone to back him up, if it was an ordinary classmate, he would have given in.
Mencius said it well... Poverty and humbleness cannot change him, power and force cannot bend him... A real man should be like this.
Can he obey? If he does, he will become a villain.
Jiang Xiyue, who was sitting nearby, smiled and continued to persuade Linzhou after hearing Linzhou's refusal, "Why are you acting like a child? If you go, I promise to go out with you on Christmas, which happens to be the weekend."
"This is not a question of whether to play or not, it's a question of dignity... and I have other concerns." Linzhou was actually a little tempted. It would be great to go out and play during Christmas.
A long time ago, he wanted to find a girl to accompany him to the cinema to watch an animated movie, but he never found one.
It cannot be said that it was not found.
At that time he was still writing a diary, and it was seen by his younger sister.
What did my sister say at that time...
——My stupid brother, out of your pitiful appearance, your sister will reluctantly accompany you to watch the movie.
Of course he cursed back without any surprise. The little bastard didn't have any respect for his brother at all.
Hearing that Lin Zhou had begun to soften his words, Jiang Xiyue knew that she was on the right track, and hurriedly followed up the conversation, "Then, classmate Zhou Zhou, what are you worried about?"
At this point, Linzhou was ready to give in, but the keyhole still had to be blocked.
Before agreeing, he had one more thing to say.
So he drank the rest of his coffee slowly, and then said what he wanted to say in a timid tone.
"It is said that a camera can capture a person's soul. It is very scary. I am the only male of this generation in the Lin family."
When he finished speaking, Jiang Xiyue no longer knew who he was. How could he be so soul-stirring? This was the 21st century. This was a dream that brought him back to a clear state...
But she really didn't know how to respond to this.
I really want to punch him.
But I can’t beat him… wuwuwuwu…
So angry...
Seeing that Jiang Xiyue was about to blush, Linzhou reached out and pressed down on her head.
"Okay, I promise you, but I still have to block the keyhole, and you have to go with me."
Holding her rubbed head, Jiang Xiyue looked aggrieved, as if she had just been hit on the head .
"Why are you just like a kid? You like to bully girls, hold grudges, and are a little rebellious..."
