Chapter 7
Chao Ri Xi Qiu pulled her suitcase and walked out happily. She was also careful about her surroundings while walking, fearing that she would encounter any unexpected situation.
Fortunately, nothing else happened on the way to dropping out of school. The laughter of young people could be heard from afar, and the only company along the way were the falling pink and white cherry blossoms.
After the discussion surrounding [Matsuda] and [hagi], the translucent bullet screen that was shrunk and placed in the upper left corner showed a few [progress bar warnings], [Ah, why is it over now?], and [See you in the next episode, family members], and then gradually disappeared.
Asahi Xiqiu, who noticed this scene, blinked and deliberately confirmed with his mind that he was not blocking the barrage at this time.
In other words, after an episode of Another Dimension is finished, the barrage will disappear on its own.
I hope they will never come back, Amen, Apollo, Amitabha. I pray in my heart.
I have already dropped out of school, so it should have nothing to do with him from now on - please focus the camera on the real main character!
Chao Ri Xi Qiu walked out of the police academy gate and stood at the edge of the road. He looked at the azure sky and his mood gradually became cheerful and bright.
The clean and beautiful sky is so blue that it seems to be free of any impurities. In my memory, there seems to be such a sky imprinted in my heart.
In memory... ?
-
Through the dense iron bars, the view is of the blue sky cut into pieces. Someone pushed open the iron gate, and a long shadow was cast at the feet.
"Fighting Arena," a voice came. "The game is life or death, but the winner can leave. Anyone want to try?"
There was a great noise and buzzing noise all around. No one took a step forward, and the thin bodies huddled together like chickens.
In the crowd, a boy with brown hair and foxy eyes slowly stood up and staggered towards the iron gate. He didn't think about anything, just looked at the blue pieces of the puzzle above his head and walked out step by step.
Breaking out of the siege, he saw the truly complete sky.
-
...Wait, what did I just flash back to? !
Chaori Xiqiu came back to his senses from his wandering. He stood at the side of the road, and some vague fragments seemed to flash before his eyes. He was so scared that he thought his life had started to go through a revolving lantern, so he quickly came to his senses.
No, don't do this suddenly, this is a sign of sudden death on the street!!!
Asahi Yuqiu stood there trying to remain calm. He touched his chest and confirmed that his heart was still beating steadily before he breathed a sigh of relief.
OK, OK, it's not a revolving lantern before death. It seems that fragments of the past deep in the brain surfaced at a specific moment.
To be honest, when the memory first flashed back, Chao Ri Xi Qiu thought he was from the perspective of a dog. After all, the surrounding environment looked too much like a dog cage.
Who knew that the person in the back perspective actually stood up - oh no, it turned out not to be a dog!
Asahi Yuaki originally thought that he was going to perform "A Dog's Purpose: Reincarnation by Mistake Turns into a Human", but he didn't expect that it would not be the case. After discovering this, he was a little bit disappointed.
Chaohi Xiqiu shook his head, shaking off the previous scene.
He didn't dwell on those memories - they were too long ago and not happy, so there was no point in recalling them.
The human brain is only so big. Instead of desperately trying to recall the unpleasant things you have experienced, it is better to clean it up and fill it with more happy things.
Asahi Yuqiu blinked.
Come to think of it, Watermelon did a pretty good job at the beginning.
The moment this thought came to his mind, his sixth sense detected a chill running down his spine, so he quickly stepped back.
A black and green shadow suddenly slid past his eyes and landed with a dull "bang"!
Chao Ri Xi Qiu looked down subconsciously and saw that what fell on the ground was a watermelon.
Chaori Xiqiu: "..."
Damn it, did this watermelon try to harm him again just now?
He never wanted to praise the watermelon for smashing it again. Chaori Xiqiu had a blank expression on his face. What a wicked watermelon, it really is a wicked watermelon. It didn't grow on the ground, but it had to climb up the tree to hurt people!
He took a deep breath to calm his fluctuating emotions, and then he suddenly noticed that there was no shadow of a tree under his feet.
...Huh?
No shadows, no trees.
In that case, where did the watermelon fall from?
Chao Ri Xi Qiu was stunned for a moment, then raised his head.
Next to me is an old-fashioned telephone pole standing upright.
A streak of green entwined the middle of the stone pillar, a cluster of melon vines. It grew vigorously there, decorating the bare pole with a green waist ring.
Morning Sun and Evening Autumn:?
No, man, why are there watermelons growing on telegraph poles?!
I pondered, shivering with anger, and asked calmly, what's going on with this melon?
Is there anyone who can take care of this? This is too much. Is Xigua the child of destiny that cannot be disobeyed? ?
Chao Ri Xi Qiu was extremely shocked. He stood there in shock and anger for a while, and finally chose to accept it.
Well, well, think on the bright side, the more of these [street melons] he has, the more ripe melons he can buy for free in the future.
Chao Ri Xi Qiu lowered his head and looked at the watermelon that almost hit his head just now - from the cracked hole he could see that it was red, juicy, and had few seeds. Of course, it was a perfectly ripe watermelon.
As the breeze blows by, the fragrance of watermelon spreads, exuding the flavor of midsummer in this spring - an expensive flavor.
Chaori Xiqiu hesitated for a moment, finally bent down, wiped the juice off the skin with a tissue, and picked up the still intact half of the watermelon.
Since it dared to hit him, he would eat it! This is the real tit for tat.
Moreover, as a future melon seller, Chao Ri Xi Qiu thought that he must first understand the edible quality of this street melon.
What if it only looks ripe and delicious on the outside, but actually tastes like a raw egg? What if it tastes delicious, but you will fall to the ground after eating it?
He didn't want to be an unscrupulous boss who cheated customers, nor did he want to cause any deaths in his career.
All in all, he is sure to get the melon that is thrown at him!
Asahi Yuqiu held half of the watermelon and used his change to buy a bag from a nearby convenience store and put the watermelon in. Now he could carry the watermelon to the bank to withdraw money.
Dragging the suitcase in one hand and holding half a watermelon in the other, Chao Ri Xi Qiu finally found the bank address of his bank card by asking for directions.
Confirming the account, changing the password, and withdrawing money, a series of operations were completed. Asahi Yuaki held the textured Fukuzawa Yukichi (10,000 yen) in his hand and felt a slight sense of relief.
The bank was not busy at the moment and there were few people, so the staff were able to chat with each other.
The bank staff member who was in charge of guiding saw the watermelon in Chao Ri Xi Qiu's hand and said a few words with a smile: "Hey, I didn't expect you to buy such a big watermelon. Watermelons are very expensive now in spring. They are all grown in greenhouses or imported."
There were customers doing the same thing next to me. A white-haired old lady also said, "This melon looks good, with bright red flesh. It's obviously a good melon, and the price must be high."
Ah, I bought it for free. Chaori Xiqiu didn't know whether he should say it so honestly, but he felt that if he said it out loud, no one would believe it, and it would be regarded as a deliberate teasing.
So Chao Ri Xi Qiu paused for a moment, and finally continued: "The watermelons on the market now... are indeed less and more expensive."
He paused and continued, "So I thought, one day, I could sell some good melons on the street that ordinary people can eat every day."
There was silence in the bank for a few seconds, and then everyone laughed.
That was certainly not a malicious laugh, but a natural joy that came from being amused.
The old lady I just talked to laughed and said, "Okay, young man, if one day you want to sell melons that ordinary citizens can eat every day, you must go to our Beika Town - oh, and my hometown Nagano Prefecture. My grandson loves to eat melons, so I can't miss it."
"Yes." Asahi Yuqiu nodded seriously, "I will be in Beika Town and also go to Nagano."
Not bad, he thought. Now, his vague career path has been completed a little more. There is a career map, and there is also a sublimation part.
Therefore, selling melons not only makes you rich, but also has profound significance - it is simply the dual realization of material value and spiritual value!
I am so great! Chaori Xiqiu affirmed herself.
He never hesitates to praise himself. Because the world is already bitter enough, he should encourage himself more on a daily basis. It is great for a person to live well.
The old lady who had just spoken to him in the bank happened to have also completed her business, and she walked out of the bank with Asahi Yuaki.
Noticing the suitcase in Chaori Xiqiu's hand, the old lady chatted with him for a while: "Are you coming from another place to study? These two days happen to be the first day of school."
"Uh, no, that's not it." Asahi Xiqiu coughed and didn't mention that he had just dropped out of school. "I'm working here."
"It's not easy to work." The old woman looked kind and concerned. "You came all the way here. Have you found a place to live?"
"I'm doing it." When this happened to be mentioned, Chao Ri Xi Qiu followed up with a sentence, "Grandma, do you have any recommendations? I want to find a small house with complete facilities, suitable price, and can be rented for a short period of time."
He has lost his memory and is completely unfamiliar with the area. It would be much more convenient if a local could help him with this kind of thing.
Seeing that the old lady in front of him seemed to be quite warm-hearted and appeared to be retired and idle, Chao Ri Xi Qiu took the initiative to make a request.
Sure enough, as he expected, the old woman in front of him readily agreed to help and took Chao Ri Xi Qiu to several houses nearby that had a relatively good value for money.
After comparing and weighing the options, Chaori Xiqiu finally chose a monthly rental house with a good location.
Considering that he would sell melons in the future, Chao Ri Xi Qiu could not choose a house that was too far away from the city or too remote.
Considering the uncertainty of my career and the possibility of changing locations in the future, it is best to choose one that can afford the monthly rent.
And the most important thing is that this monthly rental house belongs to the old lady's relative. It happened that they went abroad with their family during this period and the house was vacant, so they rented it out to him. The price was very affordable, almost half of the market price.
After thanking the old woman for her enthusiastic help, Chao Ri Xi Qiu settled down here temporarily and everything went very smoothly.
In the first few days after confirming our check-in and packing our things, Asahi Xiqiu visited and got to know the neighbors on both sides.
The two-story building next to the left is the Wai Shou Laundry. The owner is a middle-aged man with a friendly face and a smile on his face. His name is Wai Shouyi.
He often brought snacks back to the store, saying that he bought them for his daughter. He seemed to be a father who doted on his daughter very much - although Chaohi Xiqiu had never seen his daughter.
On the right was a small single-family house, also a rental house, but a bit more upscale than the one he lived in. Inside lived a blonde, blue-eyed woman who seemed to be of Russian descent, her name seemed to be Kristina.
Her job was unclear, her daily schedule was irregular, and her appearances were irregular. I had rarely seen her, but occasionally when she came in and out, I had seen from a distance a bottle of pink and bright blue liquid passing through her bag.
Mr. Waishou on the left is enthusiastic and simple, Ms. Christina on the right is quiet and does not disturb others, and Chao Ri Xi Qiu, who lives in the middle, feels that he has chosen a perfect place.
It's great. The morning sun, the evening sun, and the autumn are full of happiness. The first step to escape the main storyline is to live such a harmonious and beautiful daily life!
