Chapter 156 Malice

Day 11 of the road survival game!

So every time she saw them and wanted to go up and explain the misunderstanding about the way they addressed her, this dark thought made her hesitate. She was afraid that when she went up to explain, she would receive a response that would make her sad.

Even now, seeing that they had figured out why she was avoiding them, yet showed none of the reactions she had worried about, the gloom in her heart vanished, and she even felt at ease.

Yes! How could I forget that they were the kind people who would step in to help me when I was being bullied by high school students, without asking for anything in return? How could they possibly make those kinds of assumptions that came from my dark side?

Having overcome her anxieties and suspicions, she acted with her usual decisiveness and frankly apologized to the two of them: "Hagiwara-san, Matsuda-san, I'm sorry. I didn't know that a common term of endearment like 'brother' in China would have that kind of meaning in Japan."

Although she apologized frankly, her desire not to be disliked by them prevented her from revealing the dark suspicions she had harbored about them.

"What do you mean?" Matsuda raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. He had thought that the junior schoolgirl was avoiding them because she felt embarrassed and ashamed that they used a term of endearment that is usually reserved for close siblings in Japan. But now it seemed like there was another reason.

Hagiwara noticed this as well, and immediately focused his attention on waiting for Fuu-chan's answer. He was so focused that he even unconsciously took a bite of the chocolate banana in his hand, completely unaware that he had bitten into the spot where Fuu-chan had eaten earlier.

Feng Xing Shou is the kind of person who, once he makes up his mind, never hesitates. When they asked him this, he didn't realize the problem at all; he just felt embarrassed to bring it up.

So when answering, he stammered, "It's just... only those kinds of films made by ***, or those adult animations with taboo or ethical content, would shout like that!"

"ha?"

"Where did you hear this explanation?" Upon hearing Feng Xingshou's answer, Hagiwara and Matsuda were both taken aback and subconsciously asked back. However, after asking, they realized what had happened and guessed what it was.

After all, due to the historical relationship between China and Japan, just as the Chinese people harbor hostility towards the Japanese, those Japanese who lean towards the right-wing military spirit are very resistant to and disgusted by China and everything related to China.

Meanwhile, the Japanese who support the CCP hope to acknowledge history, formally apologize to China, and establish friendly international relations. Most Japanese, however, are indifferent to the left and right, as long as it doesn't affect their families.

However, in their daily lives, the neutral faction still maintains a sense of rejection and a deliberate distance from China due to the country's attitude, such as the US being a paradise and the need to distance themselves from China in order to go to the US.

Matsuda and Hagiwara are both serious and upright people. Naturally, they hope that their country can acknowledge history rather than distort it. Therefore, their attitude towards China is naturally friendly and friendly. They have some Chinese exchange student friends in university.

However, they also know that compared to the US, Japan has more neutral parties who are either neutral or do not have much goodwill towards China. These two neutral parties will not actively engage with China-related matters unless necessary.

□□ are all factions with strong hostility, or even malice, towards China. I guess the person who explained the use of 'Onii-chan' in Japanese grammar to her like that is one of those malicious □□.

However, the person who came up with this explanation must have something wrong with their head. What's the point of making up such a lie for citizens of a country that respects and loves women and has abolished prostitution and taboo films?

Let the citizens of other countries hear firsthand about the sex industry in Japan, which should be kept in the dark but thrives under existing laws—a fact that is common knowledge among Japanese people. Don't you, as fellow countrymen, feel ashamed to know that you are packaging your fellow human beings as commodities for sale?

Thinking about all this, Hagiwara and Matsuda were speechless. They wondered which brilliant person had come up with this idea to trick others, when in fact it was Japan and the Japanese themselves who were truly ashamed.

Doesn't the other side realize that it's a disgrace to their country for not being able to provide enough jobs and wages to meet women's basic needs, forcing some women to work in the sex industry?

.

Feng Xingshou was unaware that the two had thought so much in an instant. Hearing their surprised question, he vaguely realized that things might be different from what he had heard, and quickly replied, "It was the classmate who helped me get used to the school who said it. Is there a problem?"

"Ahem! The term 'Onii-chan' does sometimes appear in adult-rated videos, but it is also used in everyday Japanese families, usually between siblings, cousins, or first cousins."

"It's not the kind of scripted line they're referring to." After explaining, Hagiwara asked with some concern, "Don't you get along with that classmate? Why would he use such a misleading statement?"

"Maybe it's because I didn't listen to her!" At this moment, Kazeki was unaware that even the pronunciation of male and female names in Japanese is different. After hearing Hagiwara's words, he realized that the female classmate who told him this did not like him.

Thinking about her interactions with the other person, she asked incredulously, "I rejected her advice when she suggested that I eat less and control my height and weight, otherwise my male classmates would laugh at me and hate me."

I stopped her when she tried to sneak some cosmetics from the convenience store, and even told her things like not to wear makeup in junior and senior high school because it would damage her skin and cause premature aging. Was it really worth getting angry over something so trivial? She was the one who smiled and told me she didn't mind, which is why I spoke to her directly!

"Hmph... Japanese women generally express their thoughts in a roundabout and ambiguous way, even to their own families. They like to make others guess what they are thinking. When faced with problems, they usually just put on a gentle smile and say that they don't mind or that it's okay."

Only they themselves know what they are really thinking. Hearing Kazesei's answer, Matsuda could imagine the scene of the junior schoolmate who spoke her mind and did not do anything illegal or immoral, facing those female classmates whose personalities were shaped by the male chauvinism and high-pressure society of Japan.

As someone who has always been straightforward and outspoken, someone who understands things clearly and dislikes ambiguity, Matsuda has also suffered a lot in this regard since childhood.

The mother, gentle and always wearing the standard smile of a Japanese woman, expressed her belief in her husband's innocence more than once in front of him and relatives and friends when her husband was wrongfully imprisoned. She said she would wait for him to be exonerated and return home. But the case hadn't even been investigated yet!

Without her family's knowledge, she quickly divorced her father, who was still in detention, through a lawyer and married an American. When he was in fifth grade, he went to the United States with that man. Her father's downfall after that incident was probably not only due to the severe damage to his career, but also the impact of his mother's divorce.

Some of my female classmates were like that in school too. They always had a gentle smile on their faces and seemed good-tempered and kind in every way. But when they bullied other students at school and after school, they showed a completely different side, and they were the ones who led the bullying...

In short, having made many mistakes, Matsuda was afraid of this standard Japanese woman's face from childhood to adulthood, which is why he found Hagiwara Chisato's bright and cheerful personality, which was different from most Japanese women who liked to wear masks when interacting with others, to be particularly beautiful.

This kind of straightforward woman, who doesn't require him to guess or make mistakes, is what makes him like her. He won't be reminded of all sorts of nightmares when he sees that classic Japanese gentle smile!

As for stealing things from convenience stores, this wasn't the case when he was in elementary school. But when he went to junior high, he noticed that some girls, even though they weren't old enough to wear makeup, were obsessed with it. If their parents wouldn't buy them anything, they would steal small items from convenience stores, drugstores, and the like.

It can only be said that when capitalists equate women going out without makeup with being impolite, Japanese women have already become puppets in the hands of capitalists in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, and children, influenced by what they see and hear, follow suit.

Even if her parents tell her that she's at an age where it's okay not to wear makeup and to go out without any problems, she won't believe them. Instead, she'll think that her parents are unwilling to spend money on her, and if her parents won't buy her cosmetics, then she'll find a way to "get" them herself...

In short, during those junior high years, it was only some girls who didn't have much pocket money who had this habit of stealing things. If they were caught, they would pretend to be innocent to the store manager and say that they forgot to pay the bill or something.

By the time he reached high school, this had become a regular "grouping" activity for those who liked to bully others or form cliques. Japanese law is also exceptionally lenient towards minors, so catching them was pointless...

The girl classmate of my junior schoolmate actually wanted to lead her astray. She doesn't seem like a good person either. She probably belongs to some clique at school. I'll have to warn my junior schoolmate later and suggest she keep her distance from that girl!

The Hagiwara family is composed of Japanese men and Eurasian women, and he also has Chinese ancestry! His mother's mother has Chinese ancestry, and his mother's father is German. His mother, he, and his sister are all of mixed Chinese, German, and Japanese descent.

Because of their mixed heritage, all three of them—mother and her two children—have purple eyes, a rare feature among all races worldwide. However, the maternal grandmother was a second-generation Chinese immigrant who emigrated abroad during a time of war and did not receive a traditional Chinese education.

His mother was raised with an education abroad, and her personality is completely different from that of Japanese women. Therefore, he originally did not have this kind of trauma. Unfortunately, he had a childhood friend named Matsuda who usually preferred to use his fists to deal with malice.

His straightforward personality and handsome appearance made him the perfect backdrop for some young girls who liked to imitate adults' flirting and play little girl games. It wasn't until he was in fourth grade that Hagiwara realized that gentle and lovely girls could also have such a speechless and terrifying side.
