Chapter 50: The Power of Privilege
The meadow where the airship landed was actually quite a long distance away from Roman's detached building.
The grass where it landed was actually the highest point of Star Island, the closest place to the Heavenly Realm.
Students on the lawn need to climb down the highest point and walk a little bit of mountain road to the detached building where students gather at the beginning of the mountain.
Further down the mountainside, you will reach the foot of the mountain. It was a dormitory building where students gathered at the beginning of the 1st.
Finally down the hill to the flat land, and finally to the mixed accommodation area for the remaining students.
In the middle of the plain is the central market, a market where you can buy most of your daily necessities.
So it's been a long journey, and Honansteen has followed Roman all the way.
Jonanstin had walked a long way before he reached the fabled market, and if he hadn't believed in Roman's words, he would have suspected that they were lost.
Roman stood for a moment, discerning direction for a moment, and then continued walking.
Mountain road, very long mountain road, muddy very long mountain road.
The mountain roads are paved with stone slabs, and moss grows through the cracks of the stone slabs.
To be honest, Jonanstine has rarely seen such a vibrant scene since he left his hometown.
The colors of Modu are supposed to be the colors of building materials, blue skies, cool buildings, and cold brown earth.
In addition to being too close to nature in terms of ecology, Sing Tao still has its benefits.
Honansteen enjoyed the surrounding scenery along the way.
As he walked to the foot of the mountain, Honanstine saw a large number of buildings from a distance, all of which were clean and tall buildings.
Moto is humid and is a typical inland city.
Spring is cold, the rainiest season of the year is a short summer, autumn is cool and dry, and winters are bitterly cold.
As for the climate, the facades of the Modu buildings are rough. But this kind of faΓ§ade doesn't work at all in the damp Star Island.
The exterior walls of Sing Tao's buildings are smooth and plastered, and the stone surfaces are neatly attached to the walls to minimize rainwater stains on the surface of the building.
Judging from the students who come in and out, it is also a dormitory group for students.
For a moment, Honanstine saw the students drying clean quilts on the balcony, and Honanstine thought of the stinking and moldy objects that Roman's room had thrown on the floor.
The termite nest was just the beginning, and he couldn't help but wonder why they lived in primitive caves while they lived in human buildings, the same dormitories.
"That's nice, clean dorm."
Honanstin wiped his sweat and said.
He was just talking to himself, and he didn't expect Roman to be willing to talk to him.
"I can't stand being under the same roof with so many people."
Roman took a look at the lively but somewhat overcrowded complex and said.
Fortunately, the detached building has two relatively separate spaces, the second and third floors, otherwise Roman would not have been able to imagine his life in the next few years.
Although his family is large, his home is also large.
Everyone has their own independent space, and it is more comfortable to have a distance.
"I'm not used to ...... either"
Jonanstin smiled helplessly, he was envious of the clean buildings, not the noisy crowd, because it was a bit too lively for him.
"That's right...... What to do if there are termites under the floor in the living room? β
The descent was boring and not easy, and Jonanstin was trying to ease the somewhat awkward air between the two.
"I don't want to discuss this now."
It's just that Roman coldly rejected Honanstine's conversation, and he focused on the steps under his feet.
He didn't want to talk to Jonanstine in such a hot and irritating moment.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, there were finally no steps, and he could go down the hill along the gentle slope, and Honansdin breathed a sigh of relief.
Because Roman refused to talk, he began to look around.
This area is supposed to be a women's dormitory, and there are many girls coming in and out in groups of threes and twos, and the atmosphere is very lively.
The atmosphere was pleasant to Honansteen, and he managed to attract the attention of many of the girls who merely passed by them as Honansteen looked around.
His stunning appearance is like a light in a strange and chaotic environment in the eyes of female students who have undergone high-pressure assessments.
Suddenly, life on Star Island is illuminated.
It sounds dreamy, but it's true.
After walking a little past the girls' dormitory, Honanstin saw a car going uphill in the distance, and the people sitting in the car looked familiar.
Jonanstin subconsciously caught up with Roman and motioned for him to look over the carriage.
Judging from the conversation in the airship's cabin, Roman and Lulu have a holiday, and at the same time he knows Teresa.
"I see it."
Red and fire are very striking colors for people.
Teresa is a woman who combines the qualities of red and firelight, and Roman sees her from a long distance, and he is panicking out of boredom.
"She's in the same dorm room as Tya Lulu."
The carriage passed by them, and it was obvious that they had also gone down the mountain to buy supplies.
The students who also lived in the independent building, Honanstin could probably guess that the situation of the girls' dormitory was similar to theirs, as could be seen from the materials in their cars.
Fifty years of dust, stairs in disrepair, and faucets sprayed with rusty water.
"You seem to know them, I always thought you were ...... I don't like to communicate with people very much......"
Jonanstin knew that he was running out of words, because the conversation between Roman and Tya Lulu could not be called an exchange at all, it was a pole raiser.
Both sides are competing with each other to hear the worse of whom.
"I know Teresa, but I don't know Hya Lulu."
Roman thinks that Hya Lulu is more like a wild dog that suddenly bursts out of the street and barks at him.
Although he didn't know why at first, he could clearly feel the hostility that Tya Lulu was showing towards him.
Can you let the rabid dog bark at you?
"Ah, Theresa is a stranger. She's been obscure, I mean in the old academy. β
On the airship, Theresa sat next to Jonansteen, and Honanstin had the deepest impression of Theresa.
She said, "I don't know her," but Lulu said, "They do," and the moment Teresa looked at Roman, her expression was subtle.
"The canine pie is known to be good at camouflage."
Roman wanted to say something, but he said something that made people feel a little bored.
Honanstin shrugged helplessly, he did his best, but Roman was not willing to talk to him.
The two walked silently all the way, all the way down the mountain, they saw many students with bottles and cans struggling to climb the gentle slope, and they never saw any students riding in the carriage again.
Along the way, Honanstin was looking around.
He saw Roman pass a group of girls and one of them elbowed the girl next door, and Honanstine knew what that meant.
Roman does seem to be very likable, especially those of the opposite sex who don't know much about him.
This melancholy pigeon-gray iris, this bee-waisted and shaved back body, this slightly curly silver hair, and the gold wire monocle on the bridge of the nose.
The girls listened to Jonansteen's advice to stay away from the deadly bomb.
The ignorance of Roman by the opposite sex all starts with his appearance, then he is frightened by his personality, and finally he is hugged by Roman's bad deeds.
Jonansteen thought of this and wanted to laugh.
But the smile stopped abruptly as he looked at Roman's back, and he suddenly thought of his sister...... I don't know why the sudden feeling of discomfort began to sweep over him.
This is the sequelae of his mental shock, his emotions are very sensitive, and the originally happy and happy mood is easily shattered because of some small things.
He knew that once he accepted a large amount of negative emotions, once he himself could not quickly digest these negative things, these disgusting things would explode in his mind in other ways.
Honansteen kept thinking of something good and positive when he was feeling suffocated by his own repression.
It's like he's now on Star Island, and he's been successful in talking to Roman.
But as soon as this slightly positive emotion popped up in his mind, bad memories flashed in his head.
He thought that his sister was going to get married, and the future was so unpredictable, and he had that nightmare again......
It only took a moment for the chaotic emotions to plunge Honan Stein into the deep sea.
As Jonanstin walked with his head down, no one could appreciate what Honanstine had experienced in just a moment.
"Hello? Feed! Dead! β
Speaking of which, it suddenly occurred to Honan Rdin that he was married...... Why didn't he remember all of a sudden?
He always remembered that when he was a child, there was a person who often appeared around him, and everyone around him said that it was his brother...... But he obviously doesn't have a brother, he only has a sister......
What day will you get married?
Roman was gone for a long time, and Jonanstine, who had been quite talkative, became unusually silent.
At first he didn't pay much attention to it, because he didn't like to gossip about such nonsensical topics.
At the corner of the gentle slope, Roman found a carriage for rent, and there was a fee for it.
The only thing that can explain that Teresa and Lulu can ride up the mountain in a carriage is the sentence on the fee list - the student rental at the beginning of the 0 is free.
Just as Roman stopped to read the carriage rental carefully, Honansdin walked straight past him, bowing his head and slowly continuing to walk.
By the time Roman found out, Honanstine had already gone a long way.
"Hey! Jonanstine! β
Honansteen walked step by step, as if he had fallen into an evil spirit, and he couldn't even hear Roman's voice.
Roman could only quickly follow and pat Honanstine on the shoulder, but only the pain of being patted on the shoulder made Honanstin suddenly float up from the deep sea.
Then he heard Roman cursing
"Hello? Feed! Dead! β
Jonanstine woke up from a dream, and Roman could see the dense beads of sweat on Jonanstine's forehead.
Honansteen's eyes looked strange, as if he had just had an unsatisfactory experience.
"Hey Roman, do you remember when the family wedding was? I forgot ......"
ββ¦β¦ Why should I remember these things. β
Roman vaguely felt that there was something strange about Honanstine, but he still said coldly.
"It's ridiculous to keep saying that she is her most precious sister, and even forget the day she got married."
Roman snorted coldly, sarcastically mocking Honansteen's forgetfulness.
"It's the middle of next month, remember clearly."
After sneering, he added.
Seeing that Honanstin's eyes changed back to normal, Roman turned around and strode away.
"Oh, I remember ......"
Jonanstin gasped slightly, the sweat on his forehead was not hot sweat, it was false sweat, and Jonanstin wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Recently, his mental state has become very poor, and he has been like this for a long time since the assessment, and I don't know when this will improve.
"The carriage is free for us."
Roman suddenly said on the way that this was abrupt for Jonanstine, and Roman would always do something when he didn't expect it.
It's like the sudden handshake he had on the day of the banquet, the sudden allocation of floors in the independent building when he just arrived, and the sudden talk now.
"Oh...... This is good. β
Jonansteen replied that he was still calming down, but he was now like a man trying to get himself on the balance ball, and the harder he tried, the more his body shook harder.
"You seem to ...... Somewhat pleasant ......"
The balance ball was stable, and Honansteen breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, I should say that I like this privilege."
Roman snapped his fingers, and from a very young age Flione had spoken to him a phrase that he remembered fondly.
He forgot what he said, but the substance is that you should know what makes you unique.
"Don't you hate privilege?"
Jonanstine remembered every word Roman said to Shambhala with his feet crossed, and he wished that Flione would leave him alone.
Keep the family away from him.
"The privilege here comes from me."
Not from the family, Honanstin heard a rare voice in Roman's heart.
Roman likes to be recognized, not mixed with family recognition.
It's enough to just identify with me.
"Do you like what you get?"
Jonanstin asked, silently reading Roman's heart.
Honansteen continued as Roman continued.
"Of course, the snatched ones are preferred."
Roman picks it up, and Honanstin seems to have caught Roman's topic.
"You're a good talker, and ugly things come first."
Just when Jonanstin thought he could continue to follow the vine, Roman suddenly flashed a red light.
"I don't like your character and your family, it's almost in moderation."
You'd better be clear, I'm just being polite.
When Honanstin heard this, his pupils fluttered, it was he who thought Roman was too simple, thinking that Roman's willingness to talk to him meant relaxation.
"I ......"
That oppressive feeling returned, and a cold sweat appeared on Honansteen's forehead.
"A little bit of making yourself look like a man seems to make you less disgusting."
Roman's words were like a poison-stained knife stabbed in someone's heart.
Honansteen also wants to live like a man, has the backbone to speak sonorously, is he allowed?
"I ......"
Jonanstine closed his eyes, he couldn't stop in a cold sweat, his sister always came to his mind......
The strange marriage status of the patriarch of the Buda family.
Finally, his mother whispered to him that in order to make your sister a little better, you must maintain a friendship with Roman.
Jonanstin swallowed and swallowed what he wanted to say.
"My personality is indeed a bit unusual, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
He really couldn't forget the situation of Frieon's wife at the engagement feast, it was exactly like an ornament for Flion, and Flion could wear it or take it off.
Honanstin watched as Roman turned his head and walked on, shaking his head vigorously to shake the thoughts out of his head.
He couldn't ignore some kind of privilege that existed by nature, and perhaps Roman was born with some kind of privilege, and that privilege was called the upper family.
Perhaps Roman hated this privilege, and thought it was imposed on him personally by his family.
But Jonanstine longed for this family privilege, for his family was so cowardly and powerless to resist that his sister was bound to him and not to be free.
