Tender

Height: 170~180

Weight: 120~125

Personality: Sunny, will spoil people.

Skill: Not required.

Ye Nan looked at the document in his hand, and he really couldn't believe it.

"There are still women who don't require men to have professional skills?"

But then, Ye Nan showed a happy smile: "I finally received a simple task." ”

"What are you laughing at, don't hurry up, you only have three days left. If you don't complete this task quickly, you're going to be disposed of. ”

The colleague reminded coldly.

Ye Nan hurriedly looked at the calendar on his phone, 2080, 12, 14.

Indeed, there are only three days left.

There are now more than 10 billion humans on the planet, and 70% of them are men.

The increase in the total population, the rapid depletion of the earth's resources, and the serious imbalance between men and women.

It has attracted the attention of the Earth's population control department.

A newly issued decree is the reason why Ye Nan can only live for three days.

- In 2080, when December 17 arrives, all men over the age of 20 who are not married will be executed.

It has been three years since this decree was issued, and in the past two years, more than 200 million men have been killed.

Ye Nan just turned 20 years old on December 17, just the age when he could be shot.

"Hurry up and complete this mission, in this case, you can live for ten more days."

Ye Nan couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Match the women with the right men, and once successful, redeem them for a ten-day deferred execution.

Ye Nan has already taken on more than a hundred tasks, but all of them have failed.

Those women are so hateful now.

Professional skills generally require culinary, health, massage, beauty treatment, and all of them must reach the level of senior technician.

Ye Nan remembered that the skill column on the document was filled in "No requirements." ”

"I can't be mistaken."

Ye Nan took out the document to confirm that it was not wrong, Ye Nan looked at the name of his client.

Which woman is so kind?

"Rourou!"

……

Ye Nan sat by the river, looking at the slowly flowing river, and fell into deep thought.

Tender.

This name, or this person, made Ye Nan think of a possibility.

A possibility to live.

Ye Nan turned on his computer and looked at the suitable men who had been screened from the internal system.

"I can't give you this opportunity."

Ye Nan didn't learn any skills, because Ye Nan was only one meter six tall.

Among the women who choose the object now, no one thinks about men under one meter seven in height at all, even if Ye Nan learns all the skills to the highest level, he will still be killed on the day he is twenty years old.

Now Ye Nan sees hope.

- Yau Yau seems to be a little different from other women!

"Hello, is this Miss Rourou?"

Ye Nan sent a message on QQ, and then quietly waited for Rourou's reply.

The reason why Ye Nan didn't go to find Rourou was because if they met, then there would be no way to hide the matter of height.

The requirement that Rourou fill in on the height column is "170~180." ”

"Well, you're?"

After waiting for a long time, there was finally a reply, Ye Nan took a sip of coffee, cheered up and sat down in front of the computer.

"I'm number 3, one of your candidates, I'm sorry, I probably shouldn't have contacted you before the official assessment, I hope it didn't bother you."

"It's fine."

"Can I talk to you?"

"Hmm."

Seeing that Rourou had no objection, Ye Nan couldn't help but show a smile.

"Excuse me, why don't you ask for skills?"

"If my partner had mastered so many skills, I would feel like I was just marrying a technician who didn't want money, rather than a real husband."

Ye Nan looked at the message displayed on the computer screen, what an ancient title "husband" is!

"You're such a special woman......"

"If she's beautiful, people will praise her for being beautiful, and if she has a good head, people will praise her for being smart. If there is nothing, people will say that she is particularly ......"

Rourou replied a lot at once.

This gave Ye Nan a good signal, at least Rourou was not busy now, and it seemed that she was willing to continue chatting with herself.

"Haha, it's not like that, it's special, it's just a word that distinguishes a person from an ordinary person."

Ye Nan explained.

The hidden meaning of this sentence is "Yau Yau is a girl who is different from ordinary girls." ”

"Then you're praising me~"

What followed was some jumbled chit-chat, which lasted about an hour or so.

Finally, with a soft sentence, "It's time to take a nap, let's talk about it next time." "The end.

Night falls.

The moonlight and stars are scattered across the black curtain of the night sky, like a simple and beautiful picture.

While eating fast food, Ye Nan sorted out the content of the hour-long chat with Rourou.

Most of it was pointless chit-chat.

However, there is something useful about it.

"I love summer nights, cool winds, and fireflies fluttering."

When he saw this, Ye Nan was stunned.

The chopsticks holding the dish never put it in the mouth.

"Miss Rourou, have you eaten?"

"You've already eaten, you don't need to use honorifics, just say 'you'."

"Well, look at the night sky outside."

"I've been watching, is there anything special?"

Ye Nan looked at the stars in the sky, tonight was a night full of stars.

Peaceful, peaceful.

The breeze gently blows the surface of the river, causing the water to ripple into thin water lines that spread far into the distance until they disappear......

"You stare at the stars in the sky and blink your eyes, and the frequency stays at about three times per second."

After Ye Nan finished typing these words, he looked at the stars in the sky, and blinked his eyes lightly, the stars were moving, like fireflies twinkling in a summer night.

"Like fireflies!"

"Did anything memorable happen that summer night?"

Ye Nan asked, although it seemed abrupt, but in fact, it didn't.

Because of the gentle thoughts, through the fireflies and the environment in which she was located, she had returned to that summer night.

"It's just a very ordinary thing, it was in junior high school, when I was ignorant of adolescence, on a very beautiful summer night, he gently put the fireflies he caught in my palm......

The morning sun is shining.

The next day has arrived, and last night's chat has gone deeper.

Rourou has a boy she likes.

I like this feeling, it's very ethereal, like the green smoke rising from the clouds, although I can see it, but I don't have a real feeling, and because of this, liking can be any kind of feeling.

Sweet, happy, ambiguous, and even painful.

Anyway, everything is developing in a good direction for Ye Nan.

However, the only thing that needs to be noted is that including today, Ye Nan has only two days left.

"Hurry up, or it'll be too late."

Ye Nan quickly turned on the computer and found Rourou's QQ: "Rourou, are you free now?" ”

After yesterday's chat, Ye Nan no longer needs to use the title of "Miss Rourou".

No reply.

Half an hour.

an hour.

Night soon came, and Rourou never replied......

This night was too torturous for Ye Nan.

"Sorry, I went to the matchmaking center yesterday and looked at the other males. I came back and went straight to sleep. ”

When Ye Nan, who hadn't slept all night, saw the news, he instantly came to his senses again: "How is it, have you found your favorite?" ”

"Actually...... I've been looking for him. ”

What Rourou is talking about is the boy who is associated with that summer night and fireflies.

Some people, that's it.

There is no reason to be attached to a certain feeling, someone.

"How old is he?"

"Tomorrow is his twentieth birthday. I'm worried that he won't find the object and be killed...... That's why I asked someone from the matchmaking center to help me find a suitable match. ”

Ye Nan works in the matching center, because he can receive a lot of tasks in the matching center, and completing the tasks can be postponed.

So it's not easy to get the job.

Ye Nan was stunned for a moment, he will be twenty years old tomorrow, 2080, 12, 17.

That's my birthday!

No...... What Rourou is looking for is herself, right?

Ye Nan's brain was spinning rapidly, trying to find out where he had met a girl named Rourou.

Apparently, he did not find it.

Summer nights, breezes, fireflies, how commonplace. I didn't put fireflies or anything in a girl's hands at all.

"In fact, sometimes our self-righteous liking is just some kind of false illusion. There's no need to be obsessed with that. ”

Time is already extremely tight for Ye Nan.

Today is the last day.

As soon as twelve o'clock in the middle of the night passed, those in uniform would rush into Ye Nan's house with guns.

And Ye Nan had no way to escape at all.

To be precise, none of the people they are targeting can escape.

"Rourou, only by letting go of the past and looking forward, will you meet a better ah."

"Rourou, can you ...... Forgot about him? ”

"No way!"

Ye Nan lay on the sofa decadently, waiting for death to come.

No way.

In just two words, Ye Nan's death sentence has been announced!

Hateful gender imbalance, hateful population growth.

Time passed.

The moon rises in the east and moves towards the west.

Ye Nan glanced at the time on the computer, it was already eleven fifty.

Ten minutes to go.

In this world, there are still many things that I don't want to give up.

When tears slip out.

The stars in the sky twinkled and twinkled, like fireflies, moving slowly.

Ye Nan sat up suddenly!

"Summer night.

The girl who walks alone seems out of place with the others.

'You catch a bug and scare her.' ’

The companion said to Ye Nan.

'Isn't that right?' ’

"Sure enough, it's a person who doesn't fit in with Xia Shurou, so you can be friends with her in the future." ’

'I'...... I'm going to ......'

The breeze was blowing gently, the summer insects were hiding in the grass and chirping, Ye Nan grabbed a few fireflies, cautiously walked behind the girl who was walking alone, and then patted her on the shoulder.

'...... for you'

'Oh? ’

Xia Shurou struggled with her eyes and stretched out her hand suspiciously.

Ye Nan put the fireflies prepared in advance in Xia Shurou's hand: "Hold on, I'll see it after I leave." ’

After Ye Nan finished speaking, he ran away directly.

Xia Shurou slowly opened her hand, and the fireflies flew out of her hand, flashing and flashing, exuding a fluorescent green light: 'Ah......'

'Hahaha, I was scared. ’

The people who were traveling in the distance put their arms around Ye Nan's shoulders and laughed wantonly.

Ye Nan walked silently, lowered his head, clenched his fists, and bit his lip.

'What a beautiful ......'"

No one heard Xia Shurou's last whisper, so no one knew what kind of fluctuations the girl's heart experienced that night.

"It turned out to be her."

It turned out that that summer night and the girl named Xia Shurou had never been forgotten by themselves.

"I'm Ye Nan, the boy who put the firefly in the palm of your hand."

Ye Nan looked at the words in the input box, and a sense of shame rose in his heart.

23：56

23：57

23：58

23：59

……

Ye Nan deleted the line, then re-typed it and sent it......

"I'm sorry, Natsu Shurou!"

- Finally

lady

wedge

There are women in Yangzhou, famous ladies, whose appearance can be compared to Xi Shi, and their talents are unparalleled in the world. You are good at the guqin, and the "Flowing Spring" played is like a fairy sound.

——"Qinghe County Chronicles"

1

A.D. 611

After the completion of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Emperor Yang of Sui went south to Yangzhou to visit Jiangnan women, and at the same time investigated the murder of the Yangzhou prefect.

2

A.D. 610

Qinghe County ordered Fan Shishu and his friend Song Yin to travel at night, attracted by the sound of the qin, and met the lady who stroked the qin in a small pavilion.

[Fan Shishu: You are the first pianist in Jiangnan, what do you think of the sound of this piano?

Song Yin: Xu is a master in the world, and Song Yin is ashamed to be so far that his piano skills cannot be compared. 】

3

A.D. 610

Yangzhou's famous prostitutes and ladies' names spread among literati and scholars, attracting Yangzhou prefects to have a glimpse of their true faces.

The prefect was killed!

4

A.D. 611

Song Yin found the lady and asked her to leave Yangzhou quickly.

5

A.D. 610

The day before Fan Shishu was killed in the Yangzhou prefect, he scolded the Yangzhou prefect in a wine shop for embezzling disaster relief grain, and people in Qinghe County had already starved to death one after another.

After the death of the prefect of Yangzhou, Fan Shishu stole the official seal of the prefect and opened a warehouse to release grain. The disaster in Qinghe County eased, Fan Shishu was imprisoned, and confessed to killing the Yangzhou prefect and stealing the official seal, and was later beheaded.

6

A.D. 611

The patrol found out that Fan Shishu's confession was false, and at the same time that the prefect was killed, someone saw Fan Shishu walking on the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

The night scene is beautiful, the lights are bright, but Fan Shishu's back is a little thin and desolate.

7

A.D. 611

Emperor Yang of Sui met a lady for the first time in Chunyu Tower, and was shocked by her beauty, and then remembered it.

The patrol found out that the person who killed the prefect was a lady, but Emperor Yang of Sui did not believe it, and under questioning, the lady told the truth.

8

Emperor Yang of Sui wanted to hide the truth, but the matter was already in the market.

The prime minister advised: Although there are few ladies and girls in the world, they must not be killed. The prefect is the third rank official of the imperial court, and now he has been killed by a woman in the square, and the emperor is like a shield. The people of the world, the thieves and grass thieves will inevitably follow suit, and at that time, it will be difficult for our Great Sui to be peaceful.

Emperor Yang of Sui refused.

9

The prime minister saw the lady on a personal note, explaining the benefits and disadvantages, and the lady was willing to die in exchange for peace and peace in the world.

10

On the day of the execution, Song Yin, the first pianist in the south of the Yangtze River, sat on the city wall and sent him off with "Flowing Spring......

(Song Yin's first encounter with the lady was attracted by the sound of the piano, and the song played was "Flowing Spring", and then Song Yin learned the secret song Liuquan, visited the lady many times, and a year later, after hearing the news that Emperor Yang of Sui went to Yangzhou, the lady promised to teach Song Yin "Flowing Spring".) ）

11

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty returned to Luoyang, and the ship moved forward slowly, next to the big boat was a bamboo raft, lying dead ladies, accompanying the boat.

In a trance, there was an elf-like woman walking barefoot on the riverbank.

12

Song Yin, the first pianist in the south of the Yangtze River, was hidden in Zhong Nanshan, and no one saw him again, and the secret song "Flowing Spring" was lost to the world......

Today the computer is broken and there is no way to update it. This is a short story written for friends in the group, and a total of two "Pingping" and "Rourou" have been written, and "Lady" currently only lists the approximate plot, and I haven't had time to write it.

This chapter will be replaced with the Onmyoji's short Shikigami story when I'm on vacation, but I haven't had a vacation for seventeen days in a row......
