We should also learn from Chuunibyou

Naturally, Hayakawa doesn't eat snacks. He has always adhered to the self-discipline standards of an ascetic monk. When studying, he would take a bath, change clothes, and fast for three days.

However, it seems that Gu Qiao has reached her rebellious period, so Hayakawa thought of buying some snacks to shut her up, so as not to disturb the emperor's wonderful time swimming in the ocean of knowledge.

"Swish swish~"

Hayakawa kept putting snacks into the shopping cart according to his memory of the snacks that Guqiao and Ogata liked to eat. Soon, one shopping cart was full. Without thinking, he pushed another shopping cart in and started his "purchasing" plan again.

Chocolate, potato chips of various flavors, fruit drinks, yogurt, bags of nuts... Hayakawa took whatever he saw, and he also purchased large quantities of the fruits that Guqiao liked to eat, including several boxes of strawberries, cut grapefruits, and a whole watermelon.

Fruits are very expensive in Neon, but Hayakawa doesn't even look at the prices. He rarely spends money, but when he does, he spends lavishly. After all, those who achieve great things do not pay attention to trivia. He doesn't have time to pay attention to things like taste or cost-effectiveness. He will just take it when he sees it, and throw it away if it doesn't taste good. This is the generosity of Hayakawa as an emperor.

The second shopping cart was soon full, and Hayakawa pushed the third shopping cart as if nothing had happened, which stunned the passers-by with surprised eyes.

"That's almost it."

Hayakawa looked at the third shopping cart which was half full and thought that it was not because he felt it was enough, but because he would not be able to carry any more.

"gone back."

Hayakawa was holding a shopping cart in each hand, with the third shopping cart sandwiched between two shopping carts. He was walking towards the checkout counter, but suddenly saw something and walked straight over.

"Humph."

Hayakawa took a bag of things from the shelf and sneered.

It was a bag of coffee with the slogan "Instant, one cup will keep you awake all night" written on the cover.

Hayakawa took a closer look and confirmed that it was low-concentration coffee, so he threw the coffee into the shopping cart without hesitation.

Next time Gu Qiao feels sleepy again, I will make her stay awake all night!

"Hey!"

Hayakawa was thinking when he was suddenly stopped by a voice.

"Who called me?"

Hayakawa looked around but couldn't see anyone.

"Here! Did you do this on purpose?"

A cute voice full of dissatisfaction and shame was heard, and then Hayakawa felt his shopping cart shook slightly, as if someone kicked it.

"Ok?"

Hayakawa looked down in confusion, only to see a girl with purple hair and dense pigtails standing in his shopping cart at some point. She had fair skin, a childish and cute face, and was obviously an elementary school student.

"Whose child is this?"

Hayakawa wondered, but suddenly noticed something unusual.

This person seems a little familiar.

"Who are you calling a kid?"

The girl's face flushed and she screamed, stamping her feet in anger: "Are you looking for a fight?"

“This reaction…”

Hayakawa reacted instantly: "Aren't you the child labor maid who delivered omelette rice to my house last time?"

“Who is a child laborer?”

The girl gnashed her teeth as she took something out of her bag and pointed at Hayakawa, saying, "Looking at your school uniform, you must be a student of Ichinose Academy, so just call me senior!"

"Ahahahahaha, you're still a senior, I..."

Hayakawa laughed when he heard that, but when he saw what the girl was holding, he was stunned: "Student ID?"

Name: Xiaomeilangaicheng

School: Ichinose Gakuen

class…

Admission date…

Repeat the first year.

"Ah? A senior, two years older than me?"

Hayakawa looked horrified: "No, he's a repeater, three years older than me!!"

"Humph!"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng raised her head, revealing her pointed chin, and snorted arrogantly.

Although it's unpleasant to let people know that I'm a repeater, at the same time I can let this arrogant and hateful boy know how powerful I am.

Hayakawa choked slightly, looking at the senior schoolmate in front of him who was not even as tall as his chest with a look of shock, and couldn't help asking, "How could she be so short? Was she malnourished since she was a child?"

Chapter 64: Poor Senior

"You guy,"

When Xiao Meilang Aicheng heard this, her expression suddenly became very scary. She narrowed her eyes and whispered, "Don't you know what politeness is?"

"Uh...sorry."

Hayakawa was startled by her gloomy expression and quickly stepped back to apologize, for he was afraid that this person would come up and bite him.

"Really? It's Komi Aikami,"

Xiao Meilang sighed and asked casually, "What's your name? What grade are you in?"

"Haku Hayakawa, you're in your first year of high school."

Although it seemed a little strange that the girl in front of him, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, was bossing him around, Hayakawa still answered honestly.

"So you're only a freshman, so just call me senior."

Xiao Meilang glanced at the three shopping carts in Hayakawa's hands and couldn't help but frowned: "What are you doing? Are you buying goods?"

"These are all food,"

Hayakawa looked down at the full shopping cart and said, "I'm going to watch a movie tonight, and I thought I didn't have many snacks at home, so I bought a few."

"Maybe you have some misunderstanding about the word 'slightly'."

Xiao Meilan said expressionlessly, then put her hands behind her back without leaving a trace.

Hayakawa looked over subconsciously and saw what Xiao Meilang wanted to hide. It was a square box, a bento that can be found everywhere in supermarkets, but the most eye-catching thing was the special yellow mark on it, which was a sign called "half price".

That’s right, this is one of Neon Supermarket’s unique products, the half-price bento, which is an ordinary bento that has been discounted after a normal period of time. Although the taste has declined a bit, the price has been reduced by half. It is undoubtedly the most cost-effective dinner option in the city.

Hayakawa: “…”

Oh, how pitiful.

Hayakawa couldn't help but show pity when he saw how Ko Mirano was intentionally hiding her lunch box.

Although it may sound like a mockery, Hayakawa has never eaten this thing since he was a child. He has never been poor materially, but he has often been lacking in spirit, especially after entering high school. He was basically in depression every day.

"Don't look at me like that!"

When Xiao Meilang saw Hayakawa's eyes and realized that she had been discovered, she blushed as if she had a fever and said defensively: "I..."

"It's okay. I know."

Hayakawa interrupted her and showed a gentle look: "Come to think of it, I'm a little hungry too. I'm going to eat later. If you don't mind, would you like to come with me?"

"You don't need to invite me!"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng was so angry that her head was dizzy. She gritted her teeth and said, "I haven't reached the point where I need other people's support. And forget about your poor acting skills. It's so awkward!"

"I've already bought this, I'm at the end of my rope,"

Hayakawa pointed at the lunch box in Xiao Meilang's hand and said sarcastically, "If you are not a lever, don't force yourself to hold on."

"What's wrong with half-price bento? Do you know how many people in Japan buy them every day? They are very cost-effective!"

Xiao Meilang put the lunch box in her bag angrily, avoiding Hayakawa's sight, and then glanced at the large amount of snacks on the three shopping carts next to Hayakawa. Her face suddenly became a little sour, and she couldn't help but said sarcastically: "But looking at you, a young master who has no worries about food and clothing, I guess you can't understand."

As she said this, she couldn't help swallowing.

There was no other way. I ignored my father's wishes and wanted to enter the National Medical College and inherit my family's small clinic. However, my father opposed it. I insisted on studying despite the opposition, but I still failed the college entrance examination on the first try. Then I quarreled with my father several times about repeating the grade, and ran away from home in anger.

With their relationship in such a mess, and Xiao Meilang being a very proud person, she naturally would not ask him for living expenses anymore. However, going to cram school or buying study materials were very expensive. Although she rented a very cheap house, the rent in this city was not cheap either. She had no choice but to work in a maid cafe.

The treatment in the maid cafe was good. She worked hard and became a popular maid in the shop, Xiao Chengcheng. Occasionally, she could eat some leftovers in the shop and save some money. But she couldn't eat there all the time. She was not thick-skinned enough. So as her living expenses became increasingly tight, she could only buy half-price bento to get by.

There is no other way. In modern society, it is too difficult for a high school girl to support herself while balancing her studies. Xiao Meilan feels that she has reached her limit, but she is really unwilling to go home and admit defeat to her father.

Just hold on for one more day...

As she thought about this, she couldn't help but secretly glance at the shopping cart in front of Hayakawa, her eyes seemed to be glued to it.

It’s not that she is a greedy person, but because she has been eating half-price bento for several nights. To be honest, there is no microwave in the rental house, and eating cold rice for several days in a row made her stomach feel uncomfortable. She really can't stand it anymore.

Ah, chocolate, I want to eat it, and cola chips, I used to like the combination of these two when I was at home, huh? Cola-flavored chips, when will the new flavor come out? Can two such perfect things be combined into one? I really want to try it.

Juice...so many flavors of juice and soda, and so many fruits. It would be too extravagant to buy so many boxes of strawberries. Do you know how expensive fruits are now?

That round thing is actually a whole watermelon?

"..."

Komihiro Aisumi suddenly looked away, took a few deep breaths, and couldn't bear to look any further. If she continued, she was afraid that she would not be able to resist pouncing on it and eating the whole watermelon... and by the way, she would also eat the hateful junior in front of her.

The two of them came to the cashier counter together. Hayakawa stood in front of Xiao Meilang. The cashier rolled his eyes when he saw the three full shopping carts in front of Hayakawa. Xiao Meilang behind Hayakawa also rolled his eyes.

Really, can't you let me pay first? I just want a bento.

Xiao Meilang Aicheng shook her head helplessly, took out a book from her bag, and used this time to prepare for tomorrow's content.

At this time, Hayakawa was constantly putting things on the cash register. He turned around and glanced at Xiao Meilang who was studying with her head down, and his expression changed.

The checkout lasted fifteen minutes. The cashier pulled out a long slip with a look of relief and said, "The total is 15084 yen."

Komihiko Aisumi, who was studying seriously, looked up reflexively and stared at Hayakawa blankly.

15000 yen? One meal was equivalent to half a month's rent. Such a direct gap between the rich and the poor made Xiao Meilang confused.

"it's your turn."

Hayakawa paid the money and made way for her. Seeing Xiao Meilan standing there in a daze, he gave her a reminder.

Xiao Meilang walked forward as if waking up from a dream, took out a half-price lunch box from her bag and paid for it.

The two people walked out of the supermarket one after the other.

Chapter 65 I'm in love with you

After I went out, it was completely dark. There were people coming and going in front of the supermarket. People were walking hurriedly on the road after get off work or school. The streets were crowded with cars. The neon lights were flashing dazzlingly, and the shrill sound of horns could be heard from time to time.

She was about to return to her small rental house, which was not only only a dozen square meters, but also cold and dim. Even with the dim light on, it was inconvenient to study, so she had to spend money to buy a desk lamp. As a result, her eyes always hurt when she went to bed after studying for a long time.

But even so, can she really get into medical school in a year? Xiao Meilang knew in her heart that she had no confidence at all.

Xiao Meilan Aicheng stood blankly at the door of the supermarket and suddenly felt a little cold. The chill of autumn seemed to descend upon the girl in an instant.

gone back.

She walked in one direction but was stopped by Hayakawa.

"Senior, Senior Komi-chan."

Hayakawa suddenly said from behind.

"What's wrong? Junior."

Xiao Meilang didn't look back, but said proudly with her back to him, "Is there anything you need to ask me?"

Hayakawa thought for a moment and said, "I haven't started my second and third year of high school yet. Although I have taught myself the second year textbooks, I haven't finished my third year. I want to ask you, are the third year textbooks difficult?"

"That's it. You're really studious."
