People in Shijiao, the man behind Ichinose

Wait, but isn’t the difference in their family backgrounds too big? What if the other party’s parents don’t agree with a poor daughter-in-law like me?

Ichinose Honami shook her head...

"Ouch~ what are you doing?"

"Oops?! I forgot Yuyuan was still up there!" Ichinose Honoha realized that he had gotten into trouble and looked up at Minamoto Yuyuan who had suffered an unexpected disaster: "Is Yuyuan okay? It's all my fault."

"It's okay, it should just be a mild concussion." Gen Yuyuan said "nonchalantly" while covering his face which was slapped on the back of the head by Ichinose Honami.

“It’s not that exaggerated…”

Ichinose Honami scratched her head a little embarrassedly. Although it wasn't that serious, it must have been a heavy blow.

"Yu Yuan, are you still in pain? Do you want some ice? I have an ice pack in my room!"

"How come Fanbo still has that thing... Did you fall and get hurt? Come, I'll give you a full body check."

“No… Ouch! Yu Yuan, stop touching me! Hahahaha… It’s so itchy~ Yu Yuan, stop it!”

The helpful young man Yuan Yuyuan nodded with satisfaction, and it was unclear whether it was because he had confirmed that the other party was okay or because he had satisfied his masturbation urge.

"It seems that Fanbo is fine. I feel relieved then."

"It's not me who's in trouble! At least listen to me. It's the Nanfang classmate who fell and got hurt while running last time."

Ichinose Honami looked aggrieved as she tidied up her clothes that had been wrinkled by the dirty hands.

"Humph, you pervert Yu Yuan."

"What?! I was so worried when I heard that Fanbo was injured, so I just had to make an emergency decision~"

"You better be!"

"hey-hey--"

Yuan Yuyuan didn't intend to hide it, he rubbed his hands with a lingering feeling.

"By the way, Fanbo's skin is really smooth, as if it had been soaked in milk."

“Stop talking…”

Ichinose Honami didn't dare to provoke this foul-mouthed guy again. She changed to a more comfortable position in Gen Yuyuan's arms and rested her head on Gen Yuyuan's shoulder.

"Let's just watch a movie. They seem to be having a serious argument."

Gen Yuyuan hadn't noticed it before, but only realized it after Ichinose Honami reminded him: "They haven't finished arguing yet? Is this a movie or a soap opera?"

"Yu Yuan despises soap operas, doesn't he?"

“??? I don’t dare, I really can’t block this punch…”

"Hey, let's watch a movie."

The two began to watch the soap movie intently. It was obvious that the director had not been through the social abuses, and the plot alone showed that the movie would not do well at the box office.

It's not bad, it's just very boring, it's the type that can't make money. The movie tells the old-fashioned love story between a top student girl and a bad student boy——

The girl feels that she has such good grades that she should fly freely in a wider sky, and hopes to have a small home of her own with her boyfriend in a big city.

However, after trying hard, the man found that he simply could not do it. During the mock exams, his scores increased only slightly, although there should have been a lot of room for improvement. He knew that there was no way he could be admitted to the same university as the girl, and considering his parents' upbringing, he was also unwilling to drop out of school to work in the city where his girlfriend planned to go.

He refused her request for the first time.

The two did not separate because of this. The girl was admitted to the university of her dreams, while the boy ended up going to an ordinary local university. They both loved each other very much, but as time went by, their vision and ambitions were no longer on the same level.

After graduation, the heroine got her wish and joined a large company with excellent treatment. Everything was as she wished, and she begged her boyfriend to accompany her to work hard in this city.

But after four years of college life, the boy's edges had been completely smoothed out. Even in ordinary universities, there were people who were much better than him. He thought that he was not worthy of this beautiful girl. He rejected his girlfriend's request again, and the matter ended.

At the same time, their feelings also came to an end——

Because they were in different places and for work reasons, the two of them communicated less and less, and in this already limited communication, they had absolutely nothing to talk about.

He didn't understand why she would work so hard regardless of her health even though she had such a high income. She just thought that his meager income was because he didn't work hard enough.

The two eventually separated without any quarrels or attempts to keep each other company, and there is no telling what happened to each other's lives afterwards.

At the end of the film, the two meet again at a high school reunion. After many years, they have both lived the lives they wanted, and the man who was considered to have no ambition by his ex-girlfriend has now become wealthy.

Now in their thirties, they are able to understand each other's thoughts at that time, but in the face of time, everything seems a little too late.

The two of them had already established happy families, and when they met each other's eyes again, they could only smile at each other.

"Whether the two have really let it go, no one knows, maybe even they themselves don't know. But the only thing they can do is to live their own lives that can no longer intersect, that's all."

After the narration, the movie ended.

Ichinose Hoba sat in Genyufuchi's arms with a gloomy face and almost cried.

"What a pity....they couldn't be together in the end."

"It can be seen that this kind of dead intellectual is like this."

Yuan Yuyuan looked like he had seen through everything. He raised his non-existent glasses and said:

"I can tell at a glance that this type of movie was made by a young director, or by an established director who wanted to fulfill his or her dream when he or she was young. They all have one thing in common, which is that they like the movie to end in tragedy."

"Is this true?... Did you see it from the beginning? But why is it like this?"

"Nothing of this can escape my sharp eyes!"

Because he was not wearing glasses, Yuan Yuyuan's eyes suddenly glowed white, and he smiled as if everything was under control.

"First of all, tragedy is generally recognized as having a higher artistic value than a happy ending, because he could have asked the screenwriter to change the story to two single people, and when they met in high school, they found out that the other party was also unmarried. They were already successful people and no longer had the troubles they had in the past. Then, after many years, they recognized each other again, just like they did back then. But he didn't do it, because imperfections are more memorable for the audience."

"As for young people, few directors are keen on making commercial films when they make their first film, just like no boy's initial dream is to buy a house and a car."

"What they want to present to the audience is a film that they love from the bottom of their hearts. The biggest feature of this type of film is that if it is well made, it will be well received by the critics but not by the box office. If it is badly made, it will be a pure self-entertainment product. Old-timers basically won't do this."

Ichinose Hoba felt as if she was listening to a foreign language, but she was deeply shocked:

"There are so many reasons for this. So, the old director who made dreams come true that Yu Yuan mentioned is a successful person who wants to regain his youthful dreams, right?"

"Honami is really smart."

Yuan Yuyuan nodded with satisfaction:

"This type of people is like those who loved to play when they were young, but when they grew up, they decided to change themselves and work hard because of others or because they were dissatisfied with the status quo. Although it is too late now, they still have the capital to play, that is, to make a movie that they originally wanted to make. At least it is an answer to their younger self, even if they know that the ending is not satisfactory."

"Yu Yuan sees things very clearly."

"Don't flatter me, Fanbo. It's just a way of making up new words to express your sorrow. Sigh - but sometimes I really envy you."

"Eh—envious?"

Ichinose Honami's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's really awkward to hear these words coming from Yu Yuan's mouth."

"Really? I don't think it's strange. It's a siege. When a person envies others, he will also be envied by others. This is life, right?"

"Hey, I don't really understand. Although my family is not rich, I am still quite satisfied."

Ichinose Honami was thinking of something, and she smiled with satisfaction, but behind the smile there was a hint of barely perceptible regret.

"What could make Yu Yuan envious?"

"free."

Yuan Yuyuan's eyes showed a trace of yearning, but in the end he just smiled and shook his head:

"It is not enough to live, there must also be sunshine, freedom, and a little fragrance of flowers."

"Freedom? Indeed, it is a word that makes people yearn for it just by hearing it."

"Yeah, like I said, sometimes if you want to gain something, you are destined to lose something."

"Eh? Did Yu Yuan mention that? Why don't I have any impression of it?"

......

Oh no, this is what I said in my heart before!

Yuan Yuyuan was embarrassed on the spot, but thanks to his strong psychological quality, he did not show any strangeness on his face, but raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"Maybe it's because Fanbo wasn't there at the time, I always say things that are full of life philosophy."

"Yes, but why do I remember that the phrase about freedom was from Andersen..."

Gen Yuyuan quickly covered the other person's mouth. This time, Ichinose Honami didn't even have time to make a whimpering sound like before. She could only wave her hands up and down.

"The first rule of family motto is to never let your man lose face in public!"

"what the hell!"

Ichinose Honami, who finally escaped from the clutches of the devil, said indignantly: "Isn't this some newly added family motto?!"

"This is the rule set by the great next head of the family when he was a teenager!"

"So it's the next...wait, the next one?!"

Yuan Yuyuan cupped his hands and said, "It is none other than me!"

"So the reason why you asked me not to flatter you is because Yu Yuan knows how to flatter himself..."

"Haha, what truth are you talking about!"

Yuan Yuyuan did not choose to continue discussing the Three Bonds and Five Relationships, as the husband being the bond between the wife is no longer suitable for this version.

Although this movie was a bit average, it successfully piqued his interest in learning about Ichinose Honami's future plans.

"What kind of future does Fanbo dream of?"

"Well..."

Ichinose Honami raised her index finger and thought. I don’t know what she was thinking about. She smiled sweetly, and even her eyes showed a hint of happiness.

"I want to have a family with Yu Yuan, and if we have two or three more children, I will be a full-time housewife. How do you think?"

Yuan Yuyuan nodded, but his face was expressionless. He was not unhappy, he just had some concerns.

"First of all, I'm honored that Fanbo has me in his dream future, but... although it's not strange to say this, Fanbo is the only one. I don't want Fanbo to ask me how I am. I'm sorry, but please forgive me."

"Yu Yuan, don't be so formal. I know everything."

Ichinose Honami stretched out her hand and gestured on the back of Gen Yuyuan's hand. Gen Yuyuan cooperated by turning his palm over. She grinned foolishly and clasped his fingers with his.

"Yu Yuan is afraid that I will change my mind because of other people's opinions, right?"

"It would be best if you could understand."

"Don't always treat me like a fool!"

ps: Damn, why can’t this sentence be included in the chapter title?

First Year, First Semester: Chapter 147 Chapter Ichinose Honami's Diary

"Because Honoki is the kind of person who would be so stupid as to sacrifice himself for others."

Gen Yuyuan can't do it, but that doesn't stop him from admiring people like Ichinose Honami. It would be best if she could sacrifice just for him.

"It's not that exaggerated. I will also consider myself...right?"

"stare--"

"How did Yu Yuan imitate me....what a scary look o((⊙﹏⊙))o."

Ichinose Honami wanted to escape, but she was unable to move as the arms were around her waist. She could only turn her head away silently and not look at Genyuen's eyes.

"Look directly at me!"

Yuan Yuyuan said sadly: "This is the terrifying look I have to face every day. Fan Bo must remember it in his heart forever."

“How can it be every day?”

"Every time Fanbo looks at me like this, it leaves a shadow on me for a long time! Before the shadow fades, Fanbo will look at me like this again. If you round it off, it means he looks at me like this every day!"

"How can such a thing be rounded off?"

Ichinose Honami puffed up her face like a pufferfish and asked fiercely:

"Am I such a harsh person in Yu Yuan's eyes?"

“This word doesn’t seem to be appropriate…”

Yuan Yuyuan looked at the other person with caring eyes, and he sighed.
