I refuse to be a plagiarist

The passage of time and the consumption of the mother's body after childbirth seem to be non-existent for these two "aunts".

Judging from the information provided by the two daughters, their daily work can be said to be quite busy, but their appearance is maintained at an unusually high standard.

An old woman in her 40s?

As far as Hasegawa himself was concerned, he would believe it even if these two ladies said they were just in their thirties or even twenty-five or twenty-six.

If it weren't for the bun-like hair and the bloodline characteristics that were too similar, he would definitely not be able to connect the woman in front of him with Yukinoshita Haruno's mother.

But sometimes, the so-called "reality" is something that cannot be thought about logically.

Looking at Xue's mother in front of him, and thinking back to the fathers and mothers of other classmates who came to attend the parent-teacher meeting today in the teaching building, after an inexplicable feeling, Hasegawa could only attribute this strangeness to the "gap between people" that friends usually joked about.

This gap caused by talent is even different from the class barriers accumulated over the years. It is truly unreasonable and there is no logic at all.

At the same time, seeing the aura emanating from Yuki's mother, which showed that she was good at being in a dominant position and having the final say, Hasegawa suddenly felt a headache. He couldn't help but subconsciously look at Miss Yang No who was still pulling his sleeve, with a look of resentment that he himself might not even be aware of.

——The big boss is blocking the door, why didn't you tell me in advance? !

The guilt for making the girl wait at the school gate for a long time disappeared at this moment.

Of course, being good at observation and analysis, he also noticed that Yang Noi wanted to make a final sprint before an exam and quietly give himself some hints, so he would not put all the blame on the other party.

[It's not that Yang Nai is not strong, but Xue Mu will attack suddenly! ]

I forced myself to look at this "auntie".

As for the various thoughts in my mind just now, in reality, it only took a short breath of time...

Chapter 116: The weight that was occupied unconsciously

Is there such a thing as an "aura" on living things?

Thinking of this question, Hasegawa Hide couldn't help but recall the scene when he was a child before he traveled through time and space and was taken by his family to the zoo to see big tigers.

Although the breeder had dampened much of the king of beasts' aura, the sight of it roaring with its mouth wide open still left a deep impression on him at the time.

Compared with the natural suppression of tigers in the ecological food chain, human temperament is mostly derived from the cultivation of the acquired environment.

For the same person working in society, the mental state of an individual who has a good family background and can wander around freely and an individual who is under all kinds of pressure and can only keep everything in his heart will naturally be very different.

Just like the Lady Yukinoshita in front of us.

Although no in-depth communication had taken place, it was just a simple encounter of eyes. In addition to the oppressive force that had long dominated him, Hasegawa could also feel a kind of condescending and arrogance from the old lady's eyes.

This is a completely different feeling from when I met Hayasaka Nao some time ago.

To put it nicely, it's just her temperament. As the wife of a wealthy family, she naturally has the capital to be proud.

But to put it bluntly, it does mean that one is looking down on others and is contemptuous of them.

After all, we all live in this society, and because of the differences in professional environments, basically no one bumps into each other on weekdays.

Showing such an arrogant attitude towards someone you meet for the first time, and a junior at that, no matter how you look at it... it's not appropriate, right?

Perhaps the other party did have the capital to be arrogant, but this commonplace attitude really made Hasegawa, who was the first to be affected, feel somewhat unhappy.

That is to say, when you meet someone like me who won't take people too seriously...

If it was a more impulsive, hot-blooded young man like Go Hideki, he might have just said "Eat shit, old lady" and then walked away.

PS Go Hideki: The human form of Ultraman Jack (also known as 'Guiman'), is an upright young man who dared to bypass the captain of the MAT team and directly express his dissatisfaction to his boss's boss in the original TV drama.

However, due to Yang Nai's feelings, he temporarily suppressed the urge in his heart to be elegant and easy-going. While telling himself that "the old man is ignorant", he pretended to be puzzled and said:

"You are......?"

Faced with Mrs. Yukinoshita's silent "preemptive strike", he had not sworn a single word until now. Instead, he used respectful words as a matter of course when facing an elder.

Try not to become someone you hate.

With this thought in mind, he eventually became much milder in his revenge than at the beginning.

Of course, this tolerance also has certain limits.

Although he was not quite sure what kind of temperament these noble ladies had, if Mrs. Yukinoshita continued to play all these fancy things with him, the worst that could happen was that he would just turn his face away and walk away.

Fortunately, things were not as he imagined.

Faced with Hasegawa Hide's neither humble nor arrogant, decent, yet slightly resistant attitude, Mrs. Yukinoshita, who was also quietly observing the young man, promptly realized her impoliteness in her attitude.

[Interesting little guy.....]

[No wonder Yang Nai always mentions it.]

She admitted that she had underestimated the insight of the little guy in front of her.

Based on past experience, if it were an ordinary high school student, he would probably just regard himself as an elder who is difficult to communicate with and looks a little fierce.

However, the young man in front of him was able to keenly perceive through appearances the arrogance in his heart that he had become accustomed to since who knows when.

Is it a talent that is acquired through training? Or is it an innate talent?

She didn't know the answer.

But this did not prevent Mrs. Yukinoshita from slightly changing her attitude and raising someone's position slightly from the initial gutter.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Yukinoshita’s mother.

Just call me 'Auntie'."

He got out of the car, nodded slightly, and briefly introduced himself to the boy in front of him.

Although he still maintained that inexplicable sense of superiority, compared to the beginning, Yuki's mother's initiative to get out of the car and speak at this time made Hasegawa feel the respect he deserved.

This made him dispel some of the negative emotions that had just arisen in his heart.

【Alas... Life is like this.】

I sighed silently in my heart.

Although she also had a beautiful face that showed no signs of aging, after this contact, the feeling that this Mrs. Yukinoshita gave her was far inferior to that of Hayasaka Nao, who was also an elder and whom she met some time ago.

The difference in results may be due to certain conditions, but facing the other party's arrogance that seemed to be ingrained in his bones, he really didn't want to continue communicating with the other party.

It is said that it takes ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to cultivate a person. In today's Internet, it means that academic qualifications can filter out poor students, but they cannot filter out scum.

Of course, this is just a simple metaphor, and it does not mean that Mrs. Yukinoshita in front of us is so hopeless.

There is no doubt that the other party has outstanding knowledge and abilities that you are not aware of, but just this condescending attitude makes people feel uncomfortable.

And the reason why it causes such unhappiness...the reasons are very complicated.

What will it be?

After all, as for Hasegawa Hide himself, if it were in the past, he probably wouldn't be so petty with the other party.

But things are different now.

It could be that trace of youthful vigor that has not yet been completely wiped out, or it could be the high spirits after having achieved some success recently.

So when facing Mrs. Yukinoshita, he had an uncontrollable urge to oppose her.

Even the mentality that he had developed after interacting with all kinds of people in society was now showing signs of collapse!

This is undoubtedly an incredible result.

[Perhaps...I shouldn't have had too many extravagant expectations of this Lady Yukinoshita.]

After struggling for a moment, Hasegawa frowned, feeling that he seemed to have finally found the answer.

It was no secret that this lady wanted to find him. She had already taken action a long time ago, and Yang Nai had also told him clearly.

During this process, I unknowingly began to look forward to meeting the other party.

The source of this expectation is probably the girl named Yukinoshita Haruno who serves as a link...

Chapter 117: Passing the Test Calmly

I forgot which game it was in, but Hasegawa once heard this sentence:

The deeper the darkness, the brighter the dawning sun will shine.

But now, facing this high and mighty "Aunt Yukinoshita", in his opinion, the words in the game are also true in reverse.

There is nothing wrong with the other party's hidden arrogance.

Perhaps the one who was wrong was the me who had always had unnecessary expectations in my heart.

[Indeed, so stupid! ]

[I haven't done anything yet, why are you thinking so much here alone? ]

[When did I develop this habit of sympathizing with others... like a little girl.]

Put aside all the inexplicable worries in your mind.

In fact, when I think about it carefully, my mentality just now is like that of a gambler who buys funds or draws cards and has fantasies about uncertain results in advance.

As mentioned before, trivial matters like this shouldn't have affected him.

The reason why I have this mentality now is probably that I care too much about someone.

【Oh shit! 】

[But this conclusion always feels a bit weird...]

He forced himself to hold back the complaints that were about to come out of his throat.

But on the surface, this guy casually glanced at the environment around the school gate. When his eyes passed over a certain young lady, he paused slightly on the other's cheek, and then very naturally returned to the "Aunt Yukinoshita" in front of him.

Thus began a communication that was not at all pleasant and relaxing.

Of course, as a lady with her own pride, Xue's mother had no intention of chatting about family matters with the boy in front of her at the school gate.

He took the initiative to invite Hasegawa Hide.

Faced with the lady's suggestion, he had no other ideas.

After exchanging glances with a certain young lady, he got into the car wearing his dusty campus uniform.

————————————

There are no great choices that require sacrificing one's life in the ordinary life day after day.

After that not-so-harmonious episode at the beginning, Hasegawa Hide calmed down and the communication between him and Mrs. Yukinoshita gradually became smooth.

Perhaps in order to ease the unhappiness in the boy's heart, like other parents, Yuki's mother tried her best to calm down her attitude and asked Hasegawa some simple questions that did not involve personal privacy as a classmate and elder.

Faced with the other party's friendly attitude, although Hasegawa could still feel Mrs. Yukinoshita's usual arrogance, he knew when to stop and did not continue to hold on to it.

As a certain young lady Yang Nai listened with some trepidation, he suddenly changed his previous stiffness and gave his response fluently.

Pure communication that is based on mutual respect can easily make people feel relaxed and happy.

The way Hasegawa speaks is slightly better than that of an ordinary middle school student, but sometimes has a hint of the naivety of a middle school boy. While maintaining the reserve that an adult should have, it also brings some lightness to this lady who is already over 30 years old.

It's like passing by dewy grass in the early morning.

In front of this junior, she felt an indescribable sense of ease and comfort, and even had the urge to close her eyes and take a deep breath.

This description may be a bit exaggerated.

But for Mrs. Yukinoshita, who had to deal with all kinds of people, the presence of Hasegawa Hide did give her a sense of impartiality and that they could talk to each other in an equal manner like old friends.

This is a very interesting and terrifying talent.

And not only that......

【It is amazing that a person can withstand the pressure of life and study at the same time and grow to this level in this class-fixing environment.】

[This child, huh... no wonder Yang Nori is so obsessed with him. ]

He has the ability and the heart, and can make people feel a kind of joy in the process of communication, which makes them let down their guard unconsciously and immerse themselves in it.

In addition, young people have nothing but dare to imagine the possibilities of the future... Even after a horizontal comparison with their peers, the disadvantages of their families are actually not something worth delving into.

Ask yourself, if you had met such a promising young man during your student days, Mrs. Yukinoshita felt that it would be a bit of bragging to say that she would not be moved at all.

After all, compared to the successors, the founders are undoubtedly more fascinating.

She could see that this "little guy" in front of her, who looked a little childish occasionally, was actually a person who had a very clear direction and was able to keep moving forward on that path.

And the most important thing is that this young man, whose style seems to be somewhat close to that of an ambitious person, is rare in that he does not have any ulterior motives, and seems to have his own bottom line.
