I refuse to be a plagiarist

——This is most likely what happened to the other person himself!

【Heh…Interesting.】

[Old Chen, Old Chen, you used to tell me that you were a pure-hearted boy who had been through many flowers without getting hurt by a single leaf. Now that I see it, you must have had quite a bit of experience!]

The villain in my heart has already changed into an arrogant attitude of not being afraid of trouble.

Driven by the gossip mentality, Hasegawa, who originally looked sloppy, instantly transformed into Detective Conan. Although he was still leaning on the lazy sofa, the shrewdness that flashed in his eyes from time to time exposed his inner thoughts.

However, Old Chen, the narrator, did not show any obvious change in his expression. Or, he might have noticed the gossipy look of the young man in front of him, but he did not care too much about it.

After all, a story only has meaning when it is told and known by others.

And if I can help the guy in front of me, then it’s not a loss at all.

“There is a saying that people tend to develop new habits in about 20 days due to factors such as environment and work.

Have you heard of it?

“Uh, never heard of it.

But…if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem to be much different.

For example, when you first arrive in a new environment, after two or three weeks, you will experience some changes.”

“Right?

The key is that once habits develop over time, in many cases, they will have some very terrible effects on you.

From behavioral habits to personal emotions.”

At this point, the elder brother from China paused for a moment, and even the expression on his face became a little subtle. Finally, he looked at him with an extremely complicated look and muttered softly:

“Anyway… it’s pretty scary, bro.”

“…”

[After talking for so long, you still haven’t told me any specific cases! ]

There was a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, and Hasegawa knew that the old man was trying to kindly remind him of something.

But we have to admit that although this kind of vague rhetoric seems very rigorous in attitude, its effect is somewhat numb and ineffective.

“I know you may not realize the seriousness of the problem, but remember, you must keep your true heart when you are with girls, understand?”

“……From your tone, it seems like something has happened recently.”

Hasegawa looked at the sighing Chinese brother in front of him with full curiosity. If he was only a little curious at the beginning, now his curiosity can be said to have been completely aroused by the other party.

That feeling is not just a personal experience, it seems more like… a feeling of powerlessness against the overall environment?

Under his questioning, the old Chinese friend did not hide anything and told the young man the online story of the rich man from Shanghai and the real injury to the financial percentage of Jiangxi.

The general meaning is that a rich man with a family liquid capital of around 2000 million yuan, when he and his girlfriend (from Jiangxi) were discussing marriage, was forced to change his mind from believing in love to returning to reality because of the extremely high threshold and unlimited percentage of the bride price asked by the other party.

In the other person’s own words, “I found that the image of the ideal girl in my heart who had gone through the difficult times with me abroad was slowly collapsing, becoming greedy and materialistic little by little.”

As for the final outcome, it is naturally predictable. Although this Brother Hu is quite capable, he is not the type of person who is stupid enough to hang himself on a tree.

After fermenting on the Internet, this story reflects too many current social problems: the bride price in some areas is too high, love is not reliable in the face of bread, and there is further opposition between men and women…

“…I even saw a lot of netizens whose IPs were from Jiangxi. I don’t know if they were deliberately playing the opposite role, and they made comments like ‘Jiangxi girls are unsalable, save Jiangxi men’.”

“Pfft… is there such a thing?”

The expression pack of the crying old farmer instantly appeared in the boy’s mind.

Hearing this, even Hasegawa, who had been trying hard to control his emotions, couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and finally he just burst out laughing.

With the overall economic downturn, some problems that were originally hidden below the surface have now been revealed bit by bit. Coupled with the explosive transmission of information on the Internet, things that were originally “tolerated” have begun to be criticized and attacked after being thrown into the open.

The simplest example is that myself and my friends have not yet been baptized by any problems in this regard.

“But if this is the case, the guy who posted this will probably have a hard time after this, right?”

There are such things as boxes of weapons on the Chinese Internet, and as for those little stories that seem very interesting on a daily basis, they are very likely to be fictional jokes made up by some netizens on a whim.

Stories like the one about the percentage of Jiangxi’s financial resources being truly damaged, which could easily turn into large-scale regional blackmail and were also individual cases that caused a sensation on the entire Internet, made Hasegawa believe that the poster was likely to encounter some trouble afterwards.

But what he didn’t expect was that in response to this teasing, the Chinese man in front of him showed a hint of seriousness on his face:

“no.”

“Uh, huh?!”

“Although the story has a certain degree of artistic processing, after a period of fermentation, it actually seems to have a real case as the prototype of the story.

In other words, the story … is real.”

“Holy shit, is it true?!”

For boys in China… no, to be more precise, for boys in some regions, the bride price is not a gift from parents to the newlywed family, but a one-sided material supply, which has a bit of the flavor of “selling a daughter”.

For example, in the old days when the labor force was completely dominated by men, there were often sayings like “A daughter who is married off is like spilled water” and “Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog”. Therefore, although the bride price existed, men would not make any excessive excuses.

But nowadays, with the family planning policy, most families have only one child, and the composition of the social labor force also provides a large number of employment opportunities for women. After marriage, they can go back home if they want to, and there is no such thing as “spilt water”.

And like the Jiangxi girl in the story, when she caught her lover and immediately activated the percentage of true damage, it really made the listener feel a little…

“……In this case, it is a bit too much to do such a thing, isn’t it?”

“Hey… who said it wasn’t?”

He casually placed the potato chips between his fingers between his lips, then swallowed and chewed them at an incredible speed.

In response to Hasegawa’s complaints, the Chinese youth who shared the story was also full of emotion, with a look of fear on his face:

“Fortunately, the girls in our area are more reasonable. Although there is such a thing as a bride price, it is not too high.

Moreover, most families regard this kind of thing as part of the start-up capital for their small family. There is no such thing as unilateral poverty alleviation.

It’s like the adaptive output method of the girl in the story where she can kill instantly when her health is low, and then convert it into percentage true damage when she meets a rich man, hiss…”

His family is somewhat wealthy, but just above the median line and barely not embarrassing himself among his online friends. He is nowhere near as wealthy as the brother Hu in the story.

I have just graduated and am in my early twenties, which is the age to consider marriage. If I really encounter such a rare case, then…

“You are like a frightened bird.”

“nonsense!

Reality is always more absurd than novels. If you only meet one such person in your lifetime, it will be enough to make you regret for the rest of your life.

After all, we don’t have a family background like Sicong’s, with a trial and error cost as thick as the corner of a city wall.”

“That’s true.”

“So sometimes I really envy you. Not only did you start from scratch with your own strength, but you also found a love partner who you were attracted to while you were still a student.

As for me, I am still struggling with the confusion about my future….”

“Um…there’s no need to put it so miserably.

After all, brother, your quality of life has surpassed most people, right?

Not as good as the best, but better than the worst.”

I patted the shoulder of this friend who had suddenly fallen into self-denial in a comforting manner. The way he had advised me to stay true to myself was still in front of me, but now his whole body was filled with a negative low pressure.

Fortunately, the two met on the Internet, and in real life they were attracted to each other because of similar interests, so there was no actual contact between them.

Although the other party may feel a sense of envy, jealousy and hatred at the moment, it is not to the extent of “can’t stand seeing brothers better than oneself”. At best, it is the kind of intermittent frustration.

Sure enough, after about a minute of depression, the other party gradually recovered his spirits and became as relaxed and casual as usual:

“Forget it, there will always be a way out when the time comes, and I will eventually meet my ideal partner.

Everything will be fine. ”

“…Well, take your time.”

Although it sounded a bit like self-hypnosis, seeing that the other party had just gotten rid of the negativity of self-denial, Hasegawa, as a partner, had no choice but to nod and comfort the other party with a smile.

“Oh, my good brother, if you become rich and powerful, please remember to introduce me to a suitable Sakura girl.

To be honest, I used to be intermittently ambitious, but now my parents keep pushing me so hard that I’m a bit nervous.”

“Well, if there is… we’ll contact you then.

But don’t hold your hopes too high.”

“Hey…it’s just talk.

become!

It’s getting late, I should leave too.”

“Okay, let’s make an appointment next time.”

Wave goodbye to the friend in front of you.

Sometimes, sharing some recent interesting things with trusted friends can give a tired mind the long-awaited relaxation.

Even if this matter is just trivial and does not bring any growth to oneself, it can even be said to be a waste of time.

Looking at the train going away, Hasegawa waved from afar, then turned around with a smile, put one hand in his pocket, and walked towards the direction of his nest.

Although they only spent one day together, after a brief exchange with his friend, he clearly felt that the confusion in his heart seemed to have been reduced a lot…

Chapter 28: Who doesn’t get angry sometimes?

“Hasegawa!”

“Ah, ah? Here!”

In the classroom, along with the angry roar of teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, a certain immortal warrior stood up from his seat in a daze, raised his hand belatedly, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

——Damn it, I was caught while catching up on some sleep!

Human energy is limited. When you focus too much on one thing, it is inevitable that there will be leakage in other aspects.

Just like the guy in front of him, who was grabbing the corner of his clothes, his body swaying, and trying to cheer himself up under the teacher’s gaze, but still couldn’t hide the fatigue on his face.

Last night was another day of finishing his manuscript for Xiuxian, and coupled with the mental exhaustion caused by his self-guilt some time ago, this led to an irreversible decline in Hasegawa Hide’s study and life.

The results were more or less OK, at least I had the foundation from the second week to support me, but as for my daily routine…

“Go out and stand in the corridor as punishment.”

Beneath the calm voice was the young female teacher’s suppressed anger.

After this ultimatum, Hasegawa, feeling that he was in the wrong, had no choice but to leave his seat and leave the classroom carrying the bucket.

[Ah… I was arrested. 】

This was the first thought that came to his mind when he walked out of the classroom door.

However, the guilt he felt towards Teacher Jing did not last long. The even greater exhaustion from being a cultivator swept through his entire body like a tide, and from then on, the legend of “standing in the corner as punishment, one must make up for it” was left on the campus of Sobu High School.

“You can even fall asleep while standing in the corner, you are amazing.

Were you a horse in your previous life?”

On the rooftop of the campus, the boy, who had already replenished his sleep energy, was drinking strawberry milk calmly. Sitting next to him at this time was the girl from the next class who was making sharp complaints about him.

He took a big bite of the bread in his hand.

When Miss Yang Noi heard this from her classmates, her reaction was neither amused nor helpless, but after about a class period, all she felt was helplessness towards someone.

“Oh, I know, I know, but I’m just too tired.

Plus, the temperature in the corridor was lower than in the classroom, so I couldn’t hold it in and passed out.”

He scratched his head embarrassedly.

Although he and the girl in front of him had not broken the window paper, in the eyes of his classmates, the two of them were in an absolute relationship.

So judging from the current situation, Hasegawa’s sudden mistake will inevitably bring certain troubles to Haruno.

Nothing excessive will happen, but at least it is inevitable that classmates will make fun of you.

After seeing Hasegawa surrender on his own initiative, Miss Yang No, who had been giving a warning, stopped talking and changed her tone:

“Tsk… you sound so scary. If I didn’t know you, I would think you were a traveler who got lost in the mountains in winter and was sleeping with death.”

“Hey, hey, please don’t curse me.”
