However, in today's society, this phenomenon is not unique to the so-called "elite class", but can even be said to be everywhere.

The most classic of these are the various extracurricular tutoring classes.

Everyone has their own selfish desires and hopes that their offspring will have more options in the future.

But compared to those ordinary parents who want their children to be successful, Xue's mother, who is already an "elite", has too heavy expectations and responsibilities placed on her daughter.

It was so heavy... that this love made Yang No, the person involved, feel a little suffocated.

"......I think the 'elite concept' described in the book is actually quite similar to the situation of your mother."

“Haha… So that’s how it is.”

He smiled and agreed with Hasegawa's guess.

Using the content of a book he had read to complain about his elegant but extremely serious mother, the behavior of this young man in front of him made the smile in Yang Noi's eyes become even brighter.

"Sure enough...it's more fun to be with you!"

"Huh? Are you kidding me?"

This sudden sentence caught Hasegawa off guard.

But when he glanced at her, trying to read some information from the expression on her face, what he saw was the girl's innocent look without any calculation or trickery.

Looking into his eyes seriously with a hint of smile in his eyes.

Facing Yang No's eyes, at this moment, Hasegawa Hide felt an inexplicable urge to turn his head away.

I can compete with others in wits and courage, but what I am worst at dealing with is this kind of pure, uncalculated sincerity.

[This expression... doesn't seem to match your character at all! ]

I was complaining madly in my mind.

You are obviously a young lady who is full of mystery and elegance and never suffers any loss. How come you suddenly become like this today?

The most important thing is...this doesn't seem to be an act.

"Tell me...what on earth are you thinking about every day?"

".......Do you really want to hear it?"

"Of course. This is something I have been studying for a whole school year and still haven't figured out."

As if she had caught the boy's hesitation, Yang Noi became excited at this moment.

In response to Yang No's question, Hasegawa Hide, apart from the initial hesitation, did not think too much afterwards and shared with the girl in front of him his ideal life that was so simple and unpretentious that it could only be thrown into the garbage dump...

Chapter 183: Let’s go on a holiday trip together

A person's life should be spent like this:

When he looks back on his past, he will not regret wasting his years, nor will he be ashamed of doing nothing. In this way, when he dies, he can say: "My whole life and all my energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent vision in the world - the struggle for human liberation."

——"How the Steel Was Tempered"

————————————

After all, what do people usually think about?

When Yang No mentioned this issue, Hasegawa Hide's first reaction was the basic necessities of life.

The basic needs of survival are always put first.

For example, "What should I eat for lunch today?", "Should I change my clothes?", etc. Although these questions may seem ordinary at first glance, they are actually with everyone and are an indispensable part of daily life.

But if we have to summarize all these miscellaneous things, according to Hasegawa Hide's own considerations, this is probably everyone's thoughts and aspirations for a certain future stage of their life.

It could be more than ten years later, or it could be at noon that day.

If we look at it from a more macro perspective, it is the word that appears many times in chicken soups to deceive people - "ideal".

——Brother, what is your ideal?

—I want to go to the pier to get some chips.

Different from the two seagulls in the cartoon.

As a soul under the red flag, when it comes to this word, the Fullmetal Alchemist Quotations that once appeared in middle school textbooks are actually second to Hasegawa Hide.

The first one is the sentence "Study for the rise of China" by Premier Zhou, which I saw by chance in some book when I was very young.

It seemed like they were completely unrelated, but at this moment, the first words that came to his mind were the words that his ignorant self had agreed with deep in his heart back then.

——Don’t think that we are just a small town student who does his homework now. Who didn’t have grand ideals in the past?

However, it was somewhat inappropriate to say this to the girl in front of him, so facing Haruno's eyes full of curiosity and expectation, Hasegawa paused for a moment, and finally gave a more realistic and simple answer.

"It's probably about being able to freely manage your limited time and do what you like during that time."

"what?

That’s too general.”

Miss Yangno was obviously not very satisfied with what Hasegawa Hide said.

As smart as she was, she could naturally understand the boy's yearning for freedom and security, but compared to these, she hoped to know some specific information.

——It doesn’t matter if it’s something you like or a hobby.

"But even if you say so, Yang No, this is the general direction of what I usually think about."

Seeing the girl's unwillingness to give up, even Hasegawa couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

Although what he said sounds simple and easy, if you want to achieve this goal, the first thing you need to solve is financial freedom.

These four simple words are quite a luxury for more than 90 percent of the hard-working people in this world, just because they have to maintain their personal or family expenses on daily basis.

But since I have already promised the other party, no matter what the reason is, it is always difficult to go back on my word.

So facing the girl's question, he frowned and hesitated for a few seconds, then sighed:

"If I have to say what my interests are, maybe it's to travel to other places and gain some practical knowledge."

"Oh, you mean traveling?"

The little brain suddenly became active.

Compared with her previous answer, after listening to Hasegawa's words, the girl nodded with great satisfaction.

[I didn't expect this guy to have such an interest. ]

"Do you have any specific plans?"

Ask at the right time.

Seeing that her sister couldn't make any progress, Yang Noi thought it would be better to relax in the remaining time.

For example...

He turned his gaze to Hasegawa who had a confused look on his face.

[The long summer vacation has just begun, and going out with this guy in front of me seems to be a good choice. ]

I couldn't help but start imagining the two of us playing together during the holidays.

As for the feasibility of this plan...considering that someone had been calling friends together and gathering with friends from other schools every day some time ago, Yang Noi felt that if he sent out an invitation, there should be no problem.

perhaps.......

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Don't worry about it. Boys who like to ask questions are not likely to be liked by girls."

"Just kidding, I don't expect anyone to like me..."

The voice gradually changed from confident and righteous at the beginning to inaudible at the end.

Noticing the hint of resentment in the girl's eyes just now, Hasegawa very rationally stopped his verbal rebuttal and turned his conversation to the question raised by the other party.

“To be honest, no.

But judging from your tone just now, you might be thinking...”

[Are you planning to go out and find a place to play together during this holiday? ]

The expression on his face suddenly became a little strange.

It is said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Hasegawa talked about this hobby, and the starting point is nothing more than his desire and exploration of the unfamiliar.

Rather than a journey to poetry and distant places, it is more like an adventure.

In a new place, you can experience local customs and natural scenery that you have never seen before, and gain knowledge from strangers that you have never known before...

But if it was playing with people he knew, there would be no problem, but for Hasegawa himself, the process felt a little bit off.

Moreover, the girl's meaningful words also made him feel very strange.

Invitations may be commonplace for other friends, but it is a little unusual for Miss Yang Nai in front of him.

And invite boys to go out and play during the holidays...

[Whether from a personal perspective or other aspects, if that Snow Mother knew about this, I'm afraid there would be a lot of trouble afterwards, right? ]

"Hmm~ Huh?

Anyway, there is nothing to do during the holidays, so it is nice to relax once in a while."

Facing Hasegawa Hide's somewhat surprised expression, Yang No smiled slightly and did not deny her thoughts.

At the same time, as if to confirm again, he said playfully:

"So... do I have the honor?"

"No, no, we're just hanging out together, there's no problem on my end.

But when you say this, it always makes me, a common man, feel a little uneasy."

"Haha...Hasegawa, you were so funny just now."

"what?"

........

Chapter 184: Reunion with the long-lost boy Sanzhi

Hoping your son will become successful is actually a false proposition.

If the father is a dragon, the son will not be much different; if the father is not, the son will most likely not be able to come out.

————————————

"Ah...why do you say that?

I feel like this is not something you, Hasegawa, would say."

"Why do you feel that way?"

“Because, because…”

He scratched his hair in confusion.

For some reason, Jun Sanzhi sensed a hint of fatigue and dejection from his friend's tone.

It is a kind of helplessness that comes from the depths of the hearts of ordinary people.

But in Jun Saegusa's heart, this emotion, which symbolizes weakness, must not be allowed to appear on the man in front of him.

At least, that's how it seemed to the boy himself.

With that vision and hope, even though he has left Sobu High School and gone to study in a completely new environment, he has still quickly established his own social circle and is like a fish in water.

And this...is inseparable from the guy in front of me.

Yes, in the eyes of the young Sanzhi, all his changes came from this friend who dared to stand up and face danger and oppression in physical education class.

At this moment, he didn't want the other person to become like this.

However, contrary to his wishes, the response he received was a somewhat indifferent look that made him feel shaken.

"Just because I acted like a hard worker before? And achieved some minor success in the process?

Some high and mighty people.....ha!"
