15. The road to "Tokyo Handsome Guy", the system does not want to be absent.
Toru Watanabe leaned against the train door and yawned.
After giving Yuzao Haomei a question paper last night, he began to learn advanced English again, which was a big burden for him with three points of physical strength.
He doesn't feel hard.
Yesterday when he said in his office that he wanted to be a "handsome guy in Tokyo" and learned that he had to be better than he was the last time he went to bed every day, he suddenly felt that the process of acquiring knowledge was a very beautiful thing.
Do what you have to do, it's unexpectedly good.
"Next stop, Yotsuya Station, Yotsuya Station."
He perked himself up a little, got out of the station in the middle of the crowd, and stepped up the ramp to Kamigawa High School.
After Golden Week, the sunlight becomes a little warmer, and the meridians of the zelkova leaves on both sides of the ramp are illuminated.
Sometimes there is a sudden cool gust of wind, and although it is the beginning of May, it feels more like an early summer day.
After listening carefully to the morning class and solving lunch faster than usual, he said to Osamu Kunii and Keisuke Saito:
"I'll go to the club, you eat slowly."
"Oh, good."
In the morning between classes, the two already knew about his commission by Koizumi Kinai.
Toru Watanabe returns to the classroom to pick up the question sheet, and walks through the overhead corridor between the school building and the ministry building to the Human Observation Department.
Rin Kiyono was eating, alone.
Toru Watanabe interrupted, she just nodded, and the rhythm remained unchanged as she tasted the high-end dishes at first glance.
After she finished eating and put away the lunch box, Toru Watanabe asked:
"I'm planning to improve my English reading skills recently, do you have any recommended novels?"
"To become a "handsome guy in Tokyo"?"
"To become a 'handsome guy in Tokyo'."
Rin Kiyono took out a white handkerchief from the hidden pocket of her pleated skirt and gently wiped her lips.
When she was done, she folded the handkerchief and put it back in her pocket, so flat that there was no bulge.
Toru Watanabe's gaze kept on the white handkerchief.
He felt very new to the habit of some island people to carry handkerchiefs.
Rin Kiyono picked up the hardcover book on the table, lowered her eyes, and read the words carefully.
The early summer midday sun hit the top of her head, and her long lead-pink black hair hung down on her shoulders, slightly reflective.
Dialogue... It's over?
What's next?
Never mind.
Toru Watanabe retracted his gaze and glanced at the clock on the wall, twenty minutes have passed since the lunch break, why hasn't Tamamo come yet?
He hated the punctuality the most, and just when he began to be impatient and slightly angry in his heart, he suddenly thought: he only said that he would do four test papers today, but he didn't let the other party come at noon.
It's just that he unilaterally thinks that the other party will hurry up at noon.
The impatience and anger that had just risen in Watanabe's heart immediately disappeared and he began to reflect on himself.
If Tamamo just opened the door and came in, the tone of his speech would not be very fierce, but he would also be a little dissatisfied, right?
And the other party pushes open this door with the idea of "you see, how active I am, sacrifice my lunch break to tutor" and so on, and once you do this, it will discourage the other person's enthusiasm for learning.
In addition, before getting angry, you must reflect on yourself, and after making sure that the responsibility is not on your side, it is not too late to be angry again.
With the idea of punishing himself and letting himself remember this lesson, Watanabe Toru Kuru sat in the activity classroom, looked at the four question papers, and mentally completed them all.
The bell that was about to end his lunch break brought him back to his senses from the exam paper.
Toru Watanabe was satisfied with the papers.
When the bell rings this time, I am better than the last time the bell rang. Now that I'm only 15 years old, and I'm 3,650 days away from turning 25, it's hard to imagine how amazing I was at that time, and I should have become the perfect "Tokyo Guy", right? ’
"Put away your disgusting smile."
Toru Watanabe looked at Rin Kiyono dissatisfied: "I didn't laugh. ”
"You laughed."
"I've had this expression since I was born, it's not that I'm boasting, I've never cried."
"Are you finally insane enough to babble gibberish? I have a spiritual sanatorium at home, the environment is good, and there are small animals, for the sake of you are my member, you can stay for free. ”
"Thank you for your kindness, let's keep it for yourself."
Toru Watanabe got up and prepared to leave.
"Give."
"What is this?"
"Remember to return me after reading it."
Toru Watanabe watched Rin Kiyono leave the club classroom and looked down at the hardcover book in his hand.
He casually flipped through the middle, and the inside was all in English, and closed the book, the title of which was "The Great Gatsby" on the cover.
"The Great Gatsby," he whispered.
This is the follow-up to his question at the beginning of the question, 'What books are good to read to improve your English reading level'?
'What, isn't that already crush me?' Unfortunately, I hate you. But for the sake of you borrowing my book, even if you have a convenient medicine next time, I'll let you go. ’
Toru Watanabe checked the book in his hand with satisfaction, the hardcover book was heavy.
In the afternoon, it was another damn physical education class, and the second class was closed, and the project was to run around the playground for fifteen minutes.
Three minutes later, the girl and the boy met.
"It's so weak." She said.
"You're not bad either." He praised.
"Declare in advance," here she took a deep breath, "I don't want to, if I want, to win the first place in the marathon in the whole school," here she took another deep breath, "and there is no problem." ”
"The fourth rule of "Tokyo Handsome Guy" is "Have the confidence to do anything." He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "You think it's such a thing as winning the first place in the school in the marathon," here he swallowed with difficulty, "I can't do it?" ”
"Lying."
"I, Watanabe, never lie."
"Huh."
The next two didn't speak, just silently competed.
One moment in front, one moment in the back, most of the time is a weak side-by-side jog.
Fifteen minutes later, Toru Watanabe was lying on the shiny green lawn, looking at the blue sky, and decided to start exercising from tomorrow.
"Watanabe, you're too weak!" There was a mocking sound of Kunii Shu's ears.
"Do you want to wash your face in the sink?" Keisuke Saito sent out the invitation.
Toru Watanabe put his arms over his eyes: "Leave me alone." ”
After the two left, he lay down until his body wanted to move, and then he sat up with his body propped up.
"Hmm~~" he groaned and twisted his waist and neck.
When he turned around, he saw Rin Kiyono doing a soothing stretching exercise alone in the distance.
After a while, a few girls walked over and said something to her, and after she shook her head coldly, the girls walked away again.
After returning to the classroom, taking off his sportswear and putting on his shirt and trousers, and after the last class, Toru Watanabe supervised Tamamo Yoshimi to complete four test papers in the activity classroom.
The other party was very cooperative, immersed in the scam of the 'question paper', and did not waste his absence from working for this reason.
Of course, this is not because Tamamo is so beautiful, but for Mr. Koizumi, who likes him the most.
After taking a shower in the evening, at the low table in the rental house, he began to flip through the hardcover books that Rin Kiyono had lent him.
The preface contains a short sentence in English, which he first looked up in the dictionary and tried to translate it himself, then looked it up on his phone and compared it with each other.
The general meaning of the phrase:
[Then put on the golden hat, if you can impress her; 】
If you can jump high, please jump for her; 】
[Until she shouted loudly: "Dear lover, lover with a golden hat and jumping high, I must have you!"] ”】
"This sentence is saying: to impress a woman, no, it should be to do anything, and after fully perfecting yourself, things will naturally become simpler?"
Toru Watanabe nodded thoughtfully, feeling that his knowledge had increased again, whether it was the matter of attracting women or the accumulation of English vocabulary.
"This is just the preface of a book, and if it goes on like this, even if there is no system, my Watanabe is destined to be great." He said smugly.
