"Pah-ta-ta."
Kurosawa Hikaru took a towel, wiped his hair, dried the water, and walked out of the bathroom wearing slippers.
Picking up the phone, he took a look and found that there were no messages.
Xiao Yuki didn't send messages like usual, probably because she was chatting with her parents.
I glanced at the time, it was 7:30, still early.
"Just clean up the room."
Because there was no information to send, Kurosawa Hikaru stood where he was, put his hands on his hips and looked around the room, and found it a bit messy.
He picked up the photography kit and makeup box, opened the cabinet, and arranged them inside.
In addition, there are various sundries, all neatly placed.
Then he took out the broom and started cleaning.
In a short while, he finished everything. He picked up his phone to check the time. It was 7:40.
"Do your homework."
Still no news, Kurosawa Mitsuru looked around, walked to the desk, put his phone aside to charge it, and opened his laptop.
Ever since he met Xiao Yuki, he would chat with Xiao Yuki every night, and this had been going on for more than two weeks.
However, Xiao Yuki would not stick to him too much every day. She was very sensible and knew that he had a lot of things to do, such as homework and study, so she would usually make an excuse to do something once an hour.
In fact, on weekdays, in addition to studying, he also has free time to do homework and prepare for dates, so he has plenty of time.
It’s just that he is very busy on weekends, either on a date or on a date. When he gets home, it’s usually very late, and he’s so sleepy that he falls asleep immediately.
Like today, when he got home at 7 o'clock on a Saturday night, the sudden silence seemed to be in the midst of a sea of noise, which made him a little uncomfortable.
After an unknown amount of time, my phone suddenly vibrated.
Xiao Yuki: "Brother Guang, I've finished my shower and I'm sleepy. You should go to bed early too. Good night~"
"Good night." Seeing that she finally sent a message, Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and replied with a smile.
I looked at the time again and it was already 10:20 pm.
Apparently, this girl was caught by her parents, and after a long conversation, she got really sleepy and was able to escape to her room.
"ha… "
Perhaps it was because of the word "sleepy" that Kurosawa Hikaru's body and brain were reminded and he yawned.
Although his body has been strengthened by perfect-level archery, parkour, leg techniques and other body-related skills, he is still a human being after all, and he will feel sleepy, hungry and thirsty.
"It's time to go to bed. I have to get up early to go to the office tomorrow."
He looked at the unfinished homework on the computer screen. Anyway, he just had to hand it in before the summer vacation. He clicked the mouse a few times, saved the work and turned off the computer.
Maybe tomorrow is not a date, but it is also a very important day. It is the key to the official start of their career.
Standing up, he walked towards the bathroom with his cell phone, also sending messages.
He first sent it to Ninomiya Chizuru.
"I'm going to sleep, you should go to bed early too, good night."
"Go to sleep. Good night."
Then, he opened the text messages and sent a goodnight message to Sifengyuan Mirai, but he didn't get a reply. He probably didn't finish the class yet.
After going to the toilet, brushing his teeth, washing his face and tidying up everything, he walked to the bed, lay down and covered himself with a thin quilt.
Enjoying the coolness brought by the air conditioner, Kurosawa Hikaru closed his eyes but did not fall asleep immediately because he was not yet sleepy enough to fall asleep the moment he hit the bed.
“So cool!”
A minute later, Kurosawa Hikaru suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling with excitement and blood boiling.
Tonight on his way home in Shinjuku, he encountered those thugs and scared three of them away with one kick. Thinking back on it now, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Different from Kyudo, the feeling of crushing someone with leg techniques is extremely strong.
After all, he was respected by everyone for Kyudo, but perhaps because Kyudo was a spiritual practice, everyone's response was not particularly enthusiastic.
The feeling of pleasure this time was even more intense than when he played "Für Alice" in the Western restaurant and dedicated it to Miss Ninomiya.
Because he felt very clearly that he had become very powerful... not just as simple as becoming excellent.
If he were to encounter those three bad youths in the past, he would probably only be able to escape or call the police instead of fighting them with force... But now, he can scare them away with just one kick, without even hitting them.
This is an absolute advantage in strength, and an extremely intuitive strength and weakness.
If they were in an alley instead of the street, he would have only needed three kicks to knock the three thugs to the ground.
What's more, because of parkour, if he wanted to chase them, those three thugs would definitely not be able to escape.
Especially at the end, when he kicked the scoundrel away, Yuki's admiring look and reaction left him with a deep impression. Even now, when he recalled it, his blood boiled and his whole body went numb.
Through this incident, Kurosawa Mitsuru gained a new understanding of entry-level skills.
The entry level may be the lowest level of skills, but it is actually very terrifying.
If we use a more understandable method to distinguish, the entry level should be equivalent to the top in the country, the proficient level is equivalent to the top in the world, and the perfect level is equivalent to the strongest in history.
Immersed in the excitement of becoming stronger, it took him a long time to gradually calm down and fall asleep.
…
At 7 o'clock in the morning, Kurosawa Hikaru woke up.
Because it was still early and the afterglow of last night was still there, he took a rare opportunity to exercise and practice his boxing skills at home.
The apartment he rented had one bedroom, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a spacious balcony. It was fully equipped with electrical appliances and was ready for move-in. It was luxuriously decorated, but the living room was rarely used.
I don’t live in a student dormitory, but rent a house outside. I can live in such a nice apartment thanks to my part-time job as a tutor.
In fact, he has been a tutor for more than a year and has only saved more than 6 million yuan. This is because he doesn't have to worry too much about spending money, lives in such a nice house, and sends money to his hometown to buy gifts.
Money must be saved, but since he has already earned money, it is impossible for him to live a hard life just to be frugal.
He suffered so much in his previous life, shouldn't he enjoy himself in this one
After finishing his morning exercise, he took a shower, changed his clothes, and sat on the sofa waiting.
During this period, he also sent a message to Xiaoyouji, saying that he was going out to join the club.
However, Xiao Yuki didn’t reply immediately, probably because he slept in on Sunday.
At 8 o'clock, he received a message from Miss Runa.
After taking the elevator and walking out of the apartment, Kurosawa Mitsuru saw the familiar car.
"Good morning."
Igarashi Runa had already lowered the car window and put one hand on the door. When she saw him coming out of the apartment, she waved enthusiastically.
"You seem to be in a good mood today."
Kurosawa Hikaru saw her bright smile, walked over and smiled.
"Finally, we're going to start filming. I'm a little excited."
Igarashi Runa was naturally in a good mood. After waiting for a week, this day finally came.
Since resigning last Sunday, she has been busy with her business. Although there were rehearsals before, they were just rehearsals after all.
"Me too."
Upon hearing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru smiled and then opened the back door.
Maybe it was a problem of choosing sides, because Miss Ninomiya, who was wearing sunglasses, was right in front of him and bumped into him head-on.
"Good morning."
The two people were facing each other. Even through his sunglasses, Kurosawa Hikaru knew that he was looking into her eyes, so he smiled.
"Good morning."
Ninomiya Chizuru responded, and then moved her butt to make room for him.
When I got on the bus and sat down, the seat was still a little warm, after all, someone had just sat there.
After the car door was closed, Igarashi Runa started driving and rolled up the window.
"Why are you wearing sunglasses again? Didn't Ms. Runa pick you up at your house? Not at the school gate."
Kurosawa Hikaru sat in the back seat, looking at the masked blue-haired beauty next to him.
The distance between the two people was about several dozen centimeters. There was a faint lemon scent in the car, which was pleasant but not cloying. After all, it was a girl's car.
"The sun is a bit strong today."
Ninomiya Chizuru crossed her arms, probably because they just met and she hasn't let go of her arms and legs yet.
If he wanted to shake hands secretly in the back seat like last time, he would probably have to wait until night.
"She's on the safe side and doesn't want anyone to know that she met you on the weekend. I guess she'll be willing to take it off when she gets to the office." Igarashi Runa, who was driving, also spoke up.
"Runa." Ninomiya Chizuru was a little dissatisfied. What's wrong with this best friend? She always sabotages her.
"Even if I don't tell him, he can guess it." Igarashi Runa shrugged.
"I always feel that Miss Ninomiya's identity will be more mysterious than mine in the office in the future." Kurosawa Mitsuru smiled. He could indeed guess it.
"You'd better be as mysterious as she is. Wear sunglasses when you go out from now on... No matter what, I will keep your true identities strictly confidential and never mention them."
Igarashi Runa had no objection to this and even wished they could be a little more mysterious.
If the identity of Zero Hour really becomes popular, the more mysterious it is, the better.
Chizuru, her identity is very sensitive, so it’s normal that she doesn’t want others to know it.
As for the future development of the firm, she will be the only one needed to stand at the front stage, and she can recruit employees anyway.
When she hires her first employee, she will probably become a real boss. Just thinking about it makes her happy.
"Have you had breakfast?"
After driving for a while, Kurosawa Hikaru felt a little hungry.
He hadn't eaten anything since he had dinner at 6 o'clock last night, and at most he just drank water.
"Not yet. I plan to buy some on the way. Have you eaten yet?"
Igarashi Runa also responded while driving.
"No, I wasn't sure what time you'd arrive, so I didn't do it."
"You can also cook breakfast?" Igarashi Runa was a little surprised.
"Everyone can't make breakfast?" Kurosawa Mitsuru was speechless. What was he talking about
"Hahaha."
In response to this, Igarashi Runa paused for a moment and then laughed.
"… "
Chizuru Ninomiya wore sunglasses and a mask and didn't say anything.
Having said that, her silent reaction actually gave away something.
"Ms. Ninomiya, you can't even make breakfast?"
Kurosawa Hikaru would definitely not ignore her. Thinking of Miss Runa's reaction, he immediately realized the situation.
"How is that possible? Everyone can make breakfast."
Ninomiya Chizuru was surprised by this and responded calmly.
"She knows how to toast bread because she has an automatic toaster. She just puts the bread slices in one by one, waits for them to pop out, and then spreads some blueberry jam on them... Oh, and she also knows how to cook instant noodles."
Igarashi Runa also added at this time, laughing as she spoke, looking very happy.
"Runa!"
Being sabotaged again, Ninomiya Chizuru could no longer tolerate it. Did this guy really want her to embarrass herself in front of Kurosawa Mitsuru
Even though she was wearing sunglasses and a mask and her expression could not be seen, Kurosawa Hikaru could sense that she was anxious.
