Daily life side stories after the main story ending:
01:
Zhou Zhengchu just graduated from high school this year.
In July, the college entrance examination results were released, and his score was high enough to allow him to choose any of the best universities in the country.
With his grades, he wouldn't even need to take the college entrance exam.
However, he had no plans to study abroad or be directly admitted to university, so he took the college entrance examination as usual.
After the results were announced, Zhou Zhengchu didn't show much joy and seemed no different from usual.
However, he is a very calm person, and very few things can make him feel extremely sad or happy. Emotional stability is also an excellent and rare quality.
Jiang Yue made a mark on the calendar and even wrote a memo.
Therefore, as soon as Zhou Zhengchu returned home, he heard his mother ask, "How did your exam go?"
Zhou Zhengchu glanced at the milk that was already boiling in the kitchen, calmly went into the kitchen and turned off the stove. Then, after thinking for a moment, he used a rather modest word: "It's alright."
Jiang Yue had long noticed that her son seemed to have become increasingly calm over the years!
She's not as cute as she was when she was little, but she's still very thoughtful.
He's still Mom's best son.
She walked into the kitchen, incredibly curious, and looked at him expectantly: "How much more could you get? Your dad was a top student, and I don't think my grades were too bad back then. You should be able to get into Peking University, right?"
If I don't pass the exam, it will be a bit troublesome.
She didn't really care, but in her eyes he was still a child! She didn't know if he could pull through such a huge blow.
Zhou Zhengchu glanced at his mother and knew she was overthinking things.
He couldn't help but smile, his eyes tender: "Mom."
"Um?"
"Your score should be enough, so don't worry."
Jiang Yue felt relieved after hearing his words. She took the hot milk he offered, took a small sip, and then asked, "So, what major do you want to study?"
Zhou Zhengchu didn't have any particular major he was interested in. He honestly said, "I'm fine with studying anything."
That's the truth.
Anything is fine.
Everything is the same.
Kyoto University is close to home, but I don't know if I can apply to leave the campus.
Zhou Zhengchu didn't want to live at school; he still wanted to go home every day. He felt that he had grown up and it was now his turn to take care of his mother.
Although his mother is now taking good care of herself.
There was also her father, who was very attentive to her needs, but Zhou Zhengchu still couldn't quite put her mind at ease.
Hearing her son's words, Jiang Yue wondered who he took after for his easygoing personality, but she would never force him to do anything.
So she nodded and said, "Okay, you can do whatever you want with it."
Jiang Yue only asked about this matter briefly.
When her son started school, she still didn't know what he was studying.
However, she remembered their school start date and took a special leave of absence, insisting on going to school with him to attend the opening ceremony.
It was September, and the weather was hot.
When they got off the bus, Zhou Zhengchu gave her his hat, worried that she might get sunburned.
She still looks very young.
Even if you said she was a student at Peking University, people would believe you.
When Zhou Zhengchu went to report for duty, he attracted a lot of attention. He didn't like those eyes on him, and he hated even more those who stared at his mother without any sense of propriety.
His cold expression made those who were secretly watching him around him stop.
When they arrived at the dormitory, Zhou Zhengchu had already reached his limit. He turned around and looked at his mother, who was completely unaware of his presence. He pursed his lips and said, "Mom, I'll take you back."
Jiang Yue, whose novelty hadn't worn off yet: "?"
What's going on here?
When Zhou Zhengchu's roommate saw the woman with a delicate face next to him, he thought she was his sister and took the initiative to strike up a conversation: "Bro, your sister is so beautiful."
Zhou Zhengchu expressionlessly removed the other person's hand, and seeing the undisguised amazement in the other person's eyes, his expression grew even colder.
Zhou Zhengchu remained silent with a cold face. Jiang Yue knew that her son seemed to have been like this since he was a child, with a rather indifferent attitude towards making friends. It was only the first day of school, and she didn't want to ruin her relationship with her roommates.
She waved to the male classmate with a smile and explained, "Hello, I am Zhou Zhengchu's mother."
The male student was embarrassed. He scratched his head, no wonder his roommate was so unhappy. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Hello, Mom."
After saying that, he wanted to slap himself, feeling even more embarrassed.
Jiang Yue was amused by the child.
Zhou Zhengchu gripped his mother's wrist, knowing she was in high spirits and unlikely to return home easily. He thought for a moment and changed the subject: "Mom, you didn't eat much this morning. Let me take you to the cafeteria for a meal first."
Jiang Yue was indeed a little hungry. "But your dorm room hasn't been cleaned yet."
Zhou Zhengchu didn't seem to care much: "I'll sort it out later."
Jiang Yue thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
Then, she asked the male classmate from earlier with great enthusiasm, "Excuse me, would you like to eat with us in the cafeteria?"
The male student was genuinely tempted. He had to admit that his new roommate's mother was incredibly beautiful; she was a feast for the eyes, and just looking at her made him want to eat two more bowls of rice.
He was just about to nod and shamelessly go to freeload a meal.
She accidentally met her roommate's gaze, and changed her mind before she could say anything: "No, no, I've already eaten."
His roommate clearly didn't want him to join in the fun.
He does have that much insight.
Zhou Zhengchu didn't take his mother to the cafeteria. Instead, he went to a restaurant near the school, which offered better privacy, fewer people, and spared her the stares of insatiable eyes.
Jiang Yue felt that her son didn't seem very happy about starting school.
But thinking about it, it makes sense; no student is born loving the start of the school year.
After lunch, Jiang Yue planned to continue exploring Peking University. It had been a long time since her last visit, and she missed her time at the university. After all, she hadn't really experienced it herself; it was all just a memory.
Along the way, she also noticed the quiet, peeping eyes all around her.
Zhou Zhengchu seemed oblivious until a bold young girl rushed up to him, her face flushed red, slightly out of breath. The girl was shy and timid, yet still very brave: "Excuse me, I'd really like to get to know you. Would it be convenient to add each other on WeChat?"
Jiang Yue watched with great interest and had no intention of stopping her.
At this age, it's perfectly normal for two people to develop feelings for each other and start a relationship.
However, her son seemed to be a blockhead, oblivious to the tender feelings in the girl's eyes, and replied expressionlessly, "Sorry, it's not convenient."
The girl had her hair in a bun, a small face, fair skin, and big eyes. Upon hearing those cold and ruthless words, tears seemed to well up in her dark eyes, making her look incredibly pitiful.
Even so, she didn't give up easily and shamelessly continued to ask, "When is a convenient time for you, classmate?"
Zhou Zhengchu didn't even lift his eyelids. "It's inconvenient at any time."
That's utterly heartless.
They didn't give us any hope at all.
Jiang Yue frowned as she listened, sighing as she watched the girl run away crying. She didn't quite agree with him. "I think that little girl was very pretty. Don't you like her?"
To be honest, Jiang Yue really didn't know what her son's aesthetic sense was like, or what kind of girl he would like in the future.
Her son was a quiet person; he wouldn't tell her his innermost thoughts.
Zhou Zhengchu looked at his mother and told her, "I don't like it. When I'm in school, I just want to focus on my studies and not think about anything else that's unrelated to my studies."
Jiang Yue hadn't expected his awareness to be so high.
If she had had his determination back then, she might have been a top student too.
You can use both hands.
The boy fell silent.
Jiang Yue felt that she shouldn't be encouraging him to date: "Okay, whatever you want, do whatever makes you happy."
If you want to be in a relationship, then be in one.
If I don't want to talk about it, then I won't.
Just live a happy and carefree life.
Zhou Zhengchu nodded, his mind focused on only one thing: he wanted to take his mother home first.
"Let me take you back."
Jiang Yue was also tired from shopping, so she said, "I'll have the driver take me home. You can focus on your studies at school."
Zhou Zhengchu helped her into the car, and before closing the door, he couldn't help but add, "Mom, remember to let me know when you get home."
afternoon.
Zhou Zhengchu returned to his dormitory and had just finished unpacking his luggage when his roommate also returned from outside.
Four people in one dormitory room, just the right number.
The group quickly became acquainted, except for Zhou Zhengchu, who was naturally cold and not very warm or talkative.
“You wouldn’t believe it, Zhou Zhengchu’s mother looks young and beautiful, speaks very gently, and even smiled at me.” My roommate couldn’t help but add, “No wonder Zhou Zhengchu is so good-looking; he must have inherited all of his parents’ good genes.”
Zhou Zhengchu only appeared at the school for a short morning.
His name has spread throughout Kyoto University.
The photos taken without his consent have spread all over the campus network, and he has become the most handsome campus heartthrob at Peking University. People who are secretly inquiring about him have almost flooded the WeChat contacts of all the students in dormitory 104.
They subtly inquired about the school's most handsome guy.
The news that he rejected the most beautiful girl in the dance department that afternoon spread throughout the campus, and this cold-hearted attitude broke the hearts of many girls in his arms on the spot.
My roommate wailed enviously, "She's the most beautiful girl in our department!!! Adding her on WeChat wouldn't kill me!!!"
Zhou Zhengchu frowned, looking extremely serious: "But it's very troublesome."
Looking at his outrageously handsome face, his roommate felt a mixture of resentment and envy at the injustice of creation. "Dude," he said, "if I looked like you, I'd definitely raise fish at Peking University. I'd date a new one every day, never repeating the same one."
Zhou Zhengchu raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at him indifferently. "I'm not interested."
His roommate couldn't believe his aloof and indifferent demeanor was genuine; his handsome roommate seemed to truly have no interest in romantic relationships.
I didn't feel any emotional fluctuation when I mentioned it.
He was even angrier than when he mistook his mother for his sister.
"Hey bro, you wouldn't happen to be..." My roommate seemed a bit evasive, hesitating several times as if he didn't know how to start the conversation, as if he were about to bring up some unspeakable secret.
Zhou Zhengchu looked at him, his expression indifferent: "What is it?"
Looking at that clear and gentle face, my roommate steeled herself, gritted her teeth, and asked the question that was on her mind: "You don't dislike women, do you?"
Otherwise, how could he have lived such a simple and detached life for so many years?
Even the bell-ringing monks aren't this good!
He really couldn't think of any other reason besides disliking women.
What other reason could there be?
What a waste of his devastatingly handsome face, what a terrible opportunity to be a playboy.
Upon hearing his words, Zhou Zhengchu's expression grew even colder and more indifferent: "You don't need to overthink it. I'm quite certain that my orientation is normal. I just don't want to waste my time on dating."
and.
Zhou Zhengchu has indeed not met a girl he likes yet.
His roommate pretended to cough a few times to cover up his embarrassment. He actually hoped that Zhou Zhengchu's orientation was abnormal! That way, after the heartbreak of those school beauties who were infatuated with him, they might find that the people around them were actually not bad.
However, such thoughts can only remain in our minds.
"What kind of guy do you like? The school heartthrob, I have to say you have really good taste."
The school beauty is as good-looking as any female celebrity. She has a slim waist, long legs, big breasts, fair skin, a good family background, and excellent academic performance. She is truly impeccable.
Let's just forget about all of that.
They are all incredibly gentle and considerate, with exceptionally good tempers.
Zhou Zhengchu's composure is unwavering; he's practically not a man.
"have no idea."
"You don't know? You don't even know what kind of person you like? I'm different, I like big breasts."
"..."
"But I feel you probably only like the really pretty kind. Your mom is so beautiful that she's made you picky."
Zhou Zhengchu remained silent.
The roommate then steered the conversation to Zhou Zhengchu's mother, saying that every time they saw her, they couldn't help but sigh that Zhou Zhengchu was just too attached to her.
He's just like a modern-day mama's boy!
"Brother, don't you think you're old enough to leave your family?"
Why should we break away?
"Oh, right. Your mom is so gentle, you don't give her any trouble." My roommate then added earnestly, "But if you keep going like this, you'll really become a mama's boy!"
Zhou Zhengchu gave a faint "hmm".
Their attitude was incredibly perfunctory.
His roommate couldn't help but remind him of the seriousness of the situation: "Modern mama's boys are guilty of a heinous crime, bro. I'm afraid that when you start dating, your girlfriend will expose you online."
Zhou Zhengchu frowned, then said, "No."
"So confident?"
“I love my family, and I will love her too. The two are not contradictory.” Zhou Zhengchu answered this hypothetical question very seriously: “Moreover, my mother is a very good person and would not deliberately make things difficult for others.”
He continued, "My future girlfriend should be similar in personality: gentle, playful, and cute."
He paused, then continued, "You're right, and it's beautiful too."
"So the problem you're assuming won't happen."
After saying that, Zhou Zhengchu glanced at the time, picked up the car keys on the table, and said, "I'm going home first. I still need to pick up some things for my mother, so I have to get back early."
