When he was in elementary school, Nanke's future dream was "I want to become a Golden Saint Seiya" in his essay. Now, many years later, and now that he had become a high school student, he had finally realized that the Greek Sanctuary would not send anyone to pick him up, and that ambition was shattered like a soap bubble along with many other great goals that had not been carried out.

"The ancients said: Those who have aspirations have long aspirations, and those who have no aspirations often have aspirations." Teacher Xie Ding, who teaches Mandarin, once persuaded this junior student whose heart is higher than the sky and his life is thinner than paper, "Nanke, it's not right to be so ambitious, you'd better set your goals realistically!" ”

For the teacher's very reliable suggestion, Nanke actually popped up a very unreliable idea in his head: Should I really be down-to-earth and start with the Bronze Saint Seiya in the first step?

It's another unchanging summer day, the sun is basking the asphalt under his feet, and Nanke is walking on the way from school, eager to stick out his tongue like a dog to help dissipate heat.

Nan Ke didn't like the name his father gave him, because there are many people with a single name with the word "gram", such as Xu Ke, Shu Ke, Wu Ke, and Ouyang Ke...... He felt that it was better to call it "Nan Ke" or simply "Conan", even if it was called "Nan Wu Amitabha", it would be much louder than "Nan Ke". But like many things in the world, the decision is not in his own hands, and the name is only one of the things that he cannot decide.

And the archaeologist named Nan Xingzhou's father has been missing for 10 years, and he accidentally disappeared during an exploration of the ruins of the ancient city of Babylon. What's even more tragic is that after Nanke's mother entrusted Nanke to his grandfather, she set out to look for her husband, but she never returned.

One of the reasons why Nank wants to become a Golden Saint Seiya is, of course, the Japanese cartoon that was once broadcast on TV, and the other reason is that he hopes that he can become extraordinary and find his missing parents in person.

10 years is not a short time, relatives and neighbors believe that Nanke's parents have been killed, and Nanke sees Nanke as an orphan, but Nanke does not think so, he firmly believes that his parents must still be alive somewhere in the world, and he has proof.

Three years ago, Nanke once found a half-burned letter in the stove of the old house, the letter was clearly his mother's handwriting, and the only thing that could be seen clearly was: "Xiao Nan, as long as you find and find seven**, you can let us come back."

I rub! What was originally written in this burned place! Mom, do you want me to find the Seven Dragon Balls! I didn't even give it to the Dragon Ball Radar, so how can I find it!

Extremely confused, Nank asks Grandpa why he burned his mother's letter, but the eccentric Grandpa only says that the letter is a forgery and that some bad guy is playing a prank.

Although Grandpa is a stubborn old man, he has always been very good to Nanke, but he doesn't seem to approve of the marriage between his father and mother, and even sometimes makes the untenable argument that "my son disappeared because he married her".

Hey, my dad disappeared because of his work! If he hadn't been an archaeologist, and hadn't gone to investigate the new ancient city of Babylon as soon as he heard that Iraq had dug up a new ancient city of Babylon, he wouldn't have disappeared at all! Mom is just an ordinary housewife! In Nanke's limited memory, his mother is gentle and elegant, husband and child, filial to her in-laws, and her deceased grandmother is very satisfied with her mother, why are you so stubborn!?

Until two years ago, my grandfather also died suddenly of asthma, and my grandfather never changed his prejudice against Nanke's mother. Nanke still remembers his grandfather's last words when he was dying, with all his last strength, and shouted to himself hoarsely:

"Don't go to your parents! You can't do it! Our family is cursed! If you go to them, you can only end up in the same way! I will entrust you to my old comrades-in-arms, and you will honestly give me school, work, and marriage! ”

Since he was a child, he was instilled by his grandfather with the concepts of "you can't do it", "you can't do it now", "your ability is insufficient", etc., so Nanke gradually became lazy, he realized that he was indeed just an ordinary person in every way, and maybe God destined him to never see his parents again in his life.

Walking on the asphalt pavement, Nanke, who was thinking like this, suddenly saw a flower in front of him, and a dazzling bright color of gold sparkled floated in front of him.

Of course, this is not the Golden Saint Seiya who found his conscience finally came to pick him up to study in Greece, but Nanke's nemesis - Sima Ling, a girl who went to the high school next door, trotted up from behind.

Sima Ling is of mixed Chinese and French descent, so her waterfall-like gold is genuine, Tong Su is not bullied, and she can still blind Nanke's eyes by the way under the sun, Nanke has to squint her eyes so as not to become blind.

"Xiao Nan, you can look after the store for your sister tonight." Sima Ling smiled and said to Nanke that the inky eyes she inherited from her father shone with bright starlight, and she had both the temperament of an artist and a leader, and she was unbridled and often heart-pounding. Nanke wasn't interested in her, though, and in Nanke's opinion, Sima Ling was no different from the other girls at Qingzi Private High School, wearing a coffee-colored school uniform and a dark green plaid skirt, a close-fitting white shirt and red ribbon peeking out of the gaps in the coat, and a small black schoolbag in his left hand—which reminded Nanke that he seemed to have forgotten his schoolbag at school.

"When did I become your brother?" Nanke put his hands in the pockets of his jeans, looking like he couldn't lift his spirits, "Also, don't keep calling me Xiao Nan, my classmates will laugh at me when they hear it." ”

An offended look immediately appeared on Sima Ling's face: "Hey, Xiao Nan, don't ask knowingly. Your grandfather and my grandfather are old comrades-in-arms, since their generation, our two families have been world friends, and now the schools of the two of us are next to each other on the same street, I am in the third year of high school and you are only in the second year of high school, so of course I am your sister! ”

The sunlight slanted on Sima's very aristocratic and temperamental face, which looked beautiful and incomprehensible. In contrast, Nanke is 5 centimeters shorter than Sima, and often does not straighten his waist or dress well, but looks like a gray potato next to the feet of a golden tulip.

"Don't bother to look at the store for me!" Sima Ling said again with a dark face, this time it was completely the tone of the boss ordering his subordinates, "Xiao Nan, don't forget, grandpa is worried that you will spend money indiscriminately, so your living expenses have always been deposited with Miss Ben - you don't want to drink the northwest wind next month, right?" Also, you rent a house off campus thanks to me for helping you keep it a secret from your grandfather! By the way, did you fail two of the midterm exams? Do you want me to make a small report with grandpa? ”

"Don't say it, don't say it, can't I go!" Nanke agreed with grief and indignation, and finally added: "You are not my sister, you are my ancestor!" ”

Sima Ling's face suddenly turned cloudy and clear, and the dragon's heart was happy. As the saying goes: bullying people is the foundation of happiness.

"Huh? Sima, your parents are both big artists, and I haven't heard of a business in a small place like Dongshan City before? Is it a gallery? ”

"Call me sister!!" Sima Ling's right hand was chiseled with a chestnut chisel, because she had a height advantage, this time on Nanke's head was firmly knocked on the head, and Sima Ling, who was addicted to his hands, explained to Nanke, who was holding his head: "Actually, it's not my store, it's an ice cream warehouse for a distant cousin of mine. Unfortunately, the storekeeper he hired went back to his hometown to get married, and said that he would come back in 20 days, and he didn't want to hire any new people during this time, so he asked me to help take care of them for a few days. ”

"So you thought of me?" Nanke said in Sima's tone.

"Do you have any grievances about this arrangement?"

"The little ones don't dare." Nan Ke was as respectful as Li Lianying was to the Empress Dowager Cixi.

"That's right." Sima Ling nodded with satisfaction, "Xiao Nan, I won't treat you badly if you help me do things." I went to the warehouse yesterday and it was not far from the school, and it was much cleaner than your rental house. I know you have an internet addiction and your limbs twitch and foam at the mouth when you don't go online for a day, so I specially left a large screen laptop in the warehouse where you can use it to play games online. Also, you can eat any snacks in the fridge and ice cream in the freezer, so it doesn't matter if you die - anyway, when you go back to the rental house, it's just to surf the Internet, eat instant noodles, and drink Coke. ”

Nanke had to admit that Sima wasn't wrong at all.

Since his parents disappeared, his grandfather complained, and the Greek Sanctuary didn't come to pick him up, Nanke has lived a standard otaku life, sitting in front of the computer for an average of more than 10 hours a day, I don't know how many cartoons he watched and how many games he played, and now even with his parents' clues, he may not have the physical strength to run around.

One of the reasons for this is that ordinary people always subconsciously choose an easy lifestyle, Sima Ling's grandfather and Nanke's grandfather are friends of life and death on the battlefield, and their feelings are better than their own brothers, so after the death of his grandfather, Nanke actually became the child of the Sima family, lived in each other's mansions for a period of time, and received a lot of care. But although people don't regard themselves as outsiders, Nanke still took the opportunity of high school to live in the school, and later secretly rented a small house outside, in addition to regular school classes every day, is to live a life of an otaku who does not seek progress.

It's not that the Sima family's mansion has a lot of psychological pressure on Nanke, but that Nanke feels that it is not suitable for him to live a very luxurious life now that his parents disappeared and he was kidnapped by Iraqi terrorists. Moving out can slightly alleviate the guilt caused by your own lack of ability.

In fact, Sima's grandfather is almost as good to Nanke as his own grandfather (even the two of them look seven or eight points similar, and they have worshiped the master), and this old man once asked Nanke sneakily: "What do you think of my granddaughter?" If you have no opinion, I will marry her to you in the future! In the future, you will be the male owner of this family! ”

Nanke is of course grateful for the kindness of the "second master", but he doesn't dare to have any idea of marrying Sima Ling as his wife, Sima Ling regarded himself as Nanke's sister when he was a child, and he drank to Nanke, Nanke always felt that Sima Ling's future husband was her de facto servant and lackey.
