A youth story of a passerby at the end of the world

Sakurajima Mai watched Uesugi Genshin who had just entered the car a few seconds ago. A few seconds later, he ran out of the car the same way he came, with another zombie following behind him.

"It's not good to get dirty." Uesugi Genshin explained while dealing with the zombies that got off the car.

"..."

The car key was inserted in the car, but it was not started. There was nothing else in the car except these two zombies.

After the search, the only question left was how to drive back.

I can only note the location first and bring people here to drive tomorrow.

The two of them discussed it and decided to go back first.

There is still more than an hour until evening, and it is already past four o'clock.

We returned along the same route, and the road was just as easy to drive on as the way we came.

"Ms. Sakurajima, you are very capable, much better than those under my command." On the way, Uesugi Genshin praised her, except that he was a little embarrassed when he held the knife at the beginning.

“My last name is very long.”

It is true to say so. Sakurajima is the combination of Sakura and jima, the five real pronunciations without any omissions, and it is indeed a bit tongue-twisting when read together.

"..."

"So, Mai?"

"......" At least add a "Sang". What's the matter with calling him by his name?

"It's okay if you call me Hyun Shin, that's what Fengbin calls me."

"......, I understand, Hyun Shin."

-----------------

After returning, it was time to prepare dinner. Uesugi Genshin was still in charge of dinner, with Sakurajima Mai assisting.

From time to time, he took a sip of whiskey he found deep in the refrigerator. The bottle he drank before had not been touched until it was finished, and it was pushed to a corner where no one cared about it, along with the food.

It's like the uncle from Hong Kong, who takes a sip of wine while flipping the pan, but it's a frying pan.

The leftovers from lunch are fried with some ham or something, and the scrambled eggs and fried and mashed fish are mixed together, giving off an enticing aroma.

It’s a pity that it’s not overnight rice, and it’s a pity that the rice is a bit small, probably only a small bowl per person.

The rest of the dishes are still typical Chinese dishes, which Hefeng and the others must be used to eating.

Stir-fried beef with green onions, pork ribs with garlic, kimchi fish that is neither spicy nor fishy, ​​shrimp and tofu casserole made with egg tofu...

"I'm gonna start now!"

Uesugi Genshin simply made a hand gesture of clasping his hands together, not even bothering to open his mouth.

"Xuan Xin, are you leaving tomorrow morning?" Sakurajima Mai asked Uesugi Gen Xin at the dining table.

"Well, that's almost it. Just drive the car back." Uesugi Genshin swallowed the food in his mouth.

Fengbin and Xiang on the opposite side suddenly widened their eyes and stared at their sister and Xuanxin chatting there.

"Ha, if I could drive, too."

"It's very simple. When you are free, Mai, I will teach you. You don't have to worry about getting hit. It just takes a little time to drive."

"Bang" the chopsticks fell on the table.

"What's wrong?" "He Xiang?"

The two looked at Fengbin Hexiang who was losing her composure across from them, and she was picking up the chopsticks in a panic.

"nothing."

Fortunately, everyone was enjoying the food and no one noticed her expression, otherwise they would have laughed out loud and couldn't help laughing.

After dinner, they also washed the dishes.

"Then let's go take a shower first." Fengbin Kazuka took a last look at the two people washing dishes side by side in the kitchen, pushed Hirokawa Uzuki's shoulders, and walked into the bathroom with everyone at the back, looking back every few steps.

He rinsed off the detergent foam and took the next bowl handed to him by Sakurajima Mai.

"She's indeed suitable for marriage. Her femininity is too strong." Mai Sakurajima complained.

"Do you have any misunderstandings about men?" How can washing dishes be considered feminine strength?

"Usually it's women who do the housework. My mother just doesn't want to do it, so she and my father started to have conflicts." He rarely talked about his family.

"After all, your father is very ambitious." Uesugi Genshin put the washed dishes on the shelf next to him. "After a hard day's work, people must hate doing housework more or less when they go home at night."

“Unless I work from home,” he added, which was how he had originally planned to live his life.

From a while ago, Mai Sakurajima watched the man occasionally push aside his hanging side hair with the back of his hand.

"Would you like me to cut your hair?" she suggested.

"Eh?"

"I remember there was an apartment with a resident who probably had children. They had hairdressing tools at home."

Children of a certain age don’t have to worry about having an ugly hairstyle. It doesn’t matter if they have their heads shaved bald with a razor. So there is no need to waste money and trouble at the barber shop.

Mai Sakurajima understands this behavior very well and can empathize with it. Perhaps when she has children in the future, she will do the same.

After washing off the foam on his hands, Uesugi Genshin pinched his hair with his wet hands and thought about it.

"Okay."

I was planning to have it trimmed in the summer, but I happened to come across it and fixed it while I was at it.

By the summer, I may not be able to find a professional barber, so I don’t want to do that anymore.

"Let's go next door. It's hard to clean up the hair that falls here." The house next door was empty and no one lived there.

After the dishes were done, they went to the apartment next door.

"Wait a moment, I'll get the tools."

When she came back, she was holding a small bag with the handles of several scissors sticking out.

"Sit down." She pointed to the sofa over there, and then brought a dressing mirror from somewhere.

Putting a tablecloth around Uesugi Genshin's neck, looking at him in the mirror, Sakurajima Mai moved the scissors in her hand.

"Is there any problem?" At this time, Uesugi Genshin felt a little regretful.

"Don't worry, I've cut my own hair before." Sakurajima Mai looked calmly into his eyes in the mirror, and their sights met through the reflection of the mirror.

"Don't worry at all."

-----------------

"?" Fengbin Hexiang, who was drying her hair after taking a shower, did not see her sister in the living room. "Where is my sister?"

So she started looking, and came to the corridor, looking around, and found that the lights were on in the apartment next door.

"So it's over here." She walked over.

She opened the half-open door, and under the light of the living room, her sister and Hyun Shin were standing there.

The light that just came in was a little dazzling, but the next second I adapted to the light, my squinting eyes opened wide, I could see clearly, and then they widened even wider.

"Ahhhh!!!!!!"

So she held her head and screamed like a groundhog.

The sound penetrated the entire floor and echoed for a long time in the empty corridor.

Chapter 112: Depressive Tear Mole

"It's so noisy, Fengbin." Uesugi Genshin scratched his itchy ears, and some strands of hair were stuck in them.

Mai Sakurajima helped him cut his hair for half an hour, which was very slow; and they took a bath for half an hour, which was very fast.

"But, but!" Fengbin Kazuka, with wet hair, stepped forward with a fearful look on her face, blocking the way with her hands.

That look is like the expression when the toy is discovered by other children and the mother is about to give it away. How sad!

"Wash your hair a bit," Mai Sakurajima suggested, pulling him into the bathroom and briefly rinsing his hair in the sink.

It will be more obvious after washing.

He wiped it casually and was treated like a child. Sakurajima Mai used a hair dryer to blow his hair. Uesugi Genshin lowered his head obediently and let her do whatever she wanted.

After blow-drying his hair, he grabbed the sink with both hands, put his face in front of the mirror, and squinted his eyes to examine his hair carefully.

"......" Fengbin Hexiang is feeling very complicated now.

"What's wrong, Xiaohe?" Anong Yae's voice came from the living room behind him.

"I heard your scream just now and thought something happened?" Hirokawa Uzuki echoed.

"Yeah, you..." Nakago Ranko bumped into Hirokawa Uzuki who had stopped walking, "What's wrong? Uzuki, ah..., eh!!!"

"It's so noisy, Ran." These words were said by Fengbin Hexiang, but the cold expression of the person in the mirror seemed to be saying the same thing.

The clear eyes are like the harsh winter in Toronto or the snowstorm in Minneapolis, enough to freeze people.

"What's wrong?" When his gaze shifted from his own face in the mirror to the others and he raised his eyebrows, the atmosphere he created collapsed in an instant.

"......" Fengbin Kazuka remained silent

"Ah..." Ranko Nakago covered her open mouth.

"Ah..." Anno Yae sighed.

"Pfft..." Okazaki Ying just laughed.

"This is really..." Hirokawa Maoyue also covered his mouth and laughed.

It feels like the aloof and handsome wolf outside has turned into Pochi at home. The atmosphere has completely changed. The contrast is too strong, and the term "contrast cuteness" is the most appropriate here.

"As expected, you'll look more handsome if you're a little cooler." Nakago Ranko put her hands on Uesugi Genshin's shoulders, "But it doesn't matter now."

"Not bad." Uesugi Genshin looked back at Sakurajima Mai and twirled his side hair with two fingers.

"Yeah." Sakurajima Mai smiled slightly, "But I didn't cut any holes for you. My skills are pretty good."

There was a hint of complacency in the teasing. It was obviously the result of careful and step-by-step adjustments. It couldn't be said to be skillful.

"It's so itchy, I want to take a shower." Uesugi Genshin tugged at his clothes, and there were some strands of hair stuck to his collar that could only be seen closely after careful analysis.

"Well, Kazuka and the others have just finished washing, so you can go ahead and do it first," said Sakurajima Mai, "I'll wash your clothes for you, they should be dry tomorrow."

This brought back bad memories for Uesugi Genshin, so he asked, "What should I wear then?"

"Hmm?" Sakurajima Mai had no idea what that was, but she still said, "I'll find some clothes for you."

"Oh~" I won't ask for details. Since she said so, it should be reliable.

"Let's go, let's go back." Fengbin and Xiang pouted and pushed their companions out. Everyone squeezed into this small bathroom.

The first person to be pushed away was Nakago Ranko, who had just put her hand on Uesugi Genshin's shoulder and was looking at his face in the mirror.

"Wait..." She hadn't seen enough.

"Let's go back, let's go back." Anong Yae stretched lazily and walked out on his own initiative.

Everyone returned to the apartment with the Sakurajima watch on it and went about their own business.

Sakurajima Mai put the tools away, perhaps they would be used later. Fengbin Kazuka sat on the sofa, lying depressed on Hirokawa Uzuki's lap.

The other few people found time to sit or lie down and read novels on their phones.

Uesugi Genshin took off his clothes and put them into the basket filled with colorful underwear. Purple, red, and white, the katakana of these colors instantly appeared in his mind.

This is the Self.

According to the common custom in Japan, you first wash your body in the shower, then take a bath and soak your body in the bathtub.

"Huh..." The hot water, which has been insulated and added with bath additives, is exceptionally warm, and I want to immerse myself in it from the inside out.

After a short while, there was a "ding" sound, and water droplets from the ceiling dripped onto the water surface, waking him up.

Stand up, dry yourself off, and go outside.
