Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5465 Forced
The woman didn't say anything else.

……

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the young scholar suddenly understood.

My brother must have spent a lot of money.

Thinking about it this way...

Even though the young scholar still looked a little awkward, he sat firmly on the chair.

.....
The results of the examination did not surprise the young scholar.

He doesn't have any problems.

If we have to point out the problem, it's that he's been having a lot of mood swings lately and hasn't gotten enough rest...

Some small issues like this.

……

The doctor left a prescription for a decoction to calm the nerves and nourish the body and then left.

The woodcutter and the woman sent the doctor to the door.

……

The doctor walked away steadily, carrying the medicine box on his back.

……

The woodcutter and the woman withdrew their gaze from watching the doctor leave, turned around and slowly walked towards the study.

It’s good that my brother is fine.

but……

The woodcutter and the woman were also a little disappointed.

Because they knew that their brother was not without problems.

pity.

The doctor didn't find out.

……

After this, the woodcutter did as he said and never talked about the black monster to his brother again.

My brother can handle everything by himself.

My brother can do whatever he wants.

……

The woodcutter didn't say anything, and the woman would not say anything either.

……

The young scholar got what he wanted...

Waiting for the black monster to appear without interference...freedom.

……

But time passed day by day, and the black monster never appeared.

The young scholar began to get anxious.

Especially after he realized how much time he had wasted.

He became more and more anxious.

……

He started to have anorexia and insomnia...

His condition is getting worse and worse.

……

One day, he suddenly realized this.

A strong sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.

……

He began to consciously want to change.

……

He tries to eat on time.

Even if I can’t eat much…

But as he ate, his appetite slowly recovered.

He forced himself to concentrate on the contents of the book.

Even if I always get distracted at first.

The words in front of me turned into black monsters.

He suddenly raised his eyes.

I found that there was nothing in front of me.

He was so exhausted from all the shock.

……

"Master."

The woman was a little worried, "My brother looks like that..."

"Is it really okay?"

……

"Of course there is something."

The woodcutter quickly gave an affirmative answer.

……

The woman was stunned.

what?
Then they...

"Aren't we going to do something?"

……

"It's not yet time."

The woodcutter shook his head.

"I must teach that kid a profound lesson this time."

"Let him realize that he was wrong."

"It won't happen again in the future."

otherwise……

Young scholars must continue studying.

Does it mean that every time I’m not doing well in my studies or feel stressed, a black monster will appear...

Wouldn't that be endless?
My younger brother will be the one who is really ruined.

……

So, even though my brother’s condition is not very good now.

They cannot be soft-hearted.

What he wanted was his brother's complete recovery.

Rather than a temporary recovery.

……

"Oh~"

The woman suddenly realized.

The woodcutter really thought a lot about his brother.

"Master."

The woman smiled, "You are such a good brother."

……

The woodcutter felt slightly uncomfortable.

"I only have this one brother..."

He promised his parents that he would take good care of his younger brother.

He thought that one day he would take his brother who had passed the imperial examination to visit his parents’ graves… If his parents knew about this, they would surely be very pleased and happy…

……

The woodcutter changed the subject.

"My dear, you have worked hard these days."

"Please pay more attention to the food your brother cooks."

"Let him eat more."

No matter what, your body is the most important.

That kid...

Just wait if you want to see the black monster.

They all ignored him.

Why is he still abusing himself?
Such a big boy only eats so little every day...

None of them can compare to the appetite of other girls.

But my brother's body shape is there.

I've been eating this much...

It will ruin your body.

This is a result that the woodcutter absolutely does not want to see.

……

"rest assured."

The woman nodded.

"I know."

"I will work hard."

……

The young scholar suddenly put down the book.

He went to the window.

Look up at the sky outside.

At some point he lost the habit of closing the windows.

Maybe it was after he waited day after day and was disappointed day after day...

The reason why he closed the window was not...

Why did he even close the window?

……

It was already dark at this time.

The black velvet sky is dotted with stars.

Twinkle, twinkle.

The surrounding sky was illuminated with a slightly dark blue hue.

A bright full moon hangs high in the sky.

The young scholar was slightly stunned.

Today is actually a full moon night.

His days now feel a bit... fast and slow... a strange feeling.

Every day he wavered between the appearance of the black monster and concentrating on studying.

I just feel that every minute and every second is torture.

But every time I come back to myself, I find that a day has passed...

He was also surprised at how quickly time passed.

He was a little dazed.

I don’t know what night it is…

……

How many days are left until April?

A look of confusion and bewilderment appeared on the young scholar's face.

……

He can't even remember?
He couldn't help but reach out and knock on his head.

hiss~
The young scholar gasped.

He was a bit too heavy-handed.

Unfortunately.

He didn't figure out the answer to the question.

He reached up and rubbed his head again.

The slight pain made him grimace.

After realizing this, he forced himself to be patient.

Don't let yourself be too rude.

Even though he is the only one here and now.

The young scholar habitually concealed his embarrassment.

……

When the pain faded away, the young scholar gently shook his head.

Forget it.

If you can’t remember, forget it.

Anyway, his brother will remember it for him.

Maybe he would remember it the next day.

There is no need for him to force it at this time.

……

No matter how many days have passed...

The young scholar now has a vague concept of the passage of time.

He couldn't even make a rough estimate...

The young scholar pursed his lips tightly.

For some stupid behavior on my part.

……

The young scholar was in so much pain that he could hardly bear it.

……

"……you……"

The young scholar opened and closed his mouth, opened it, closed it, and opened it again...

The young scholar finally spoke.

"Are you really...gone?"

The young scholar's voice was soft and a little hoarse.

"Because I yelled at you the other day?"

"…You deserve it."

"You really……"

"You're playing tricks on me..."

The young scholar spoke word by word.

"I want to hear you tell me in person..."

"why?"

"I thought we got along well..."

Was the result just what he thought?

Is it his sincere wish?
