4 How to grow old together
The Tours house has been very quiet lately.
When passing through a certain room, the footsteps of all the servants should be quiet, for fear of accidentally disturbing the autistic young master who has been stuffed in the room for several days recently.
Since the first day of recovery from a serious illness a few days ago, the young master of the Tours family has not gone out for eight or nine days, and even the meal is carried by the maid with the dinner plate at the door and waited for him to take it into the room and then take away the empty plate at the door after eating, two days ago Mr. Tours has given an ultimatum, if the young master who locked himself in the room does not go out again, the servants who work in the villa will all get out of the house, until they are replaced by servants who can let the young master come out of the room.
No one wants to leave, the Tours family gives a high salary, good treatment, and a year-end bonus, and the most important thing is that the boss is not mean at all, everyone is clear in their hearts, whoever goes will suffer, but when he said that there was any way to let the young master go out, he had a sad face and a ghostly expression.
Because it's useless, the little young master is in the room every day like eating the Dinghaishen needle, and the hen hatches the eggs and knows how to take a walk, this little young master is more stubborn than the chicken that hatches the eggs, and it seems that it is not strange that a monster may hatch out of the house one day.
The old butler stood on the first floor and reprimanded the servants standing in a row in front of him, and every wrinkle on his stiff face was engraved with the vicissitudes of time.
"Isn't the young master still going out?" The butler asked, "What can you do?" β
Hey, the servants sighed in their hearts, they have used all the methods, but what is the use of the little young master just not moving the nest?
None of the servants standing in a row dared to say anything, and the old housekeeper had a lot of power in this house, and basically the servants here had to check in advance if the old housekeeper was not there when he yawned. Today is one day before the deadline set by Mr. Tours, and the servants who have been trying to get the young master out of the house in the past few days have been desperate, and some have begun to pack up their things and plan to leave in frustration.
No one has a way to get the autistic young master out of the house, it's impossible for them to rush in and tie the young master out, right? That's a real life.
The old housekeeper also understood that he couldn't figure out why the young master he had seen since he was a child suddenly closed himself, and he coaxed and persuaded softly every day, and there was no sound in the closed room.
The housekeeper is worried, there is not much black hair in the past few days, and a lot of hair has fallen out when he combs his hair, so he can't be sad.
The housekeeper and the maid in the hall on the first floor didn't know that they had a system above their heads, and they looked at them several times, while the young master they had in mind was sitting in front of the huge TV in the room, holding a game console and playing games with an indifferent expression.
The curtains were drawn, and the only light source in the dark room was the game console in Youguo's hand.
The cassette in the game console is a variety of love strategy games that have been collected recently.,Youguo has opened up dozens of them in the past few days.,Each is 100% favorable.HE,Now it's the last one in hand.,The target of the strategy is a gentle senior in a white shirt with black hair and black eyes who laughs like a boyish.,Youguo stared at the screen and clicked the keys in his hand.,It's not like playing a game.,Like being able to swallow the game console.γ
"Are you still not going out?" The system spoke, he had already watched Youguo play games in this room for eight days, and he felt that his data was about to be disordered when he looked at it again.
Youguo replied crisply, "Don't go out." β
The action of pressing the button in his hand did not stop,A burst of pleasant music suddenly sounded in the Youguo game machine,Ding ding dong,The last target of the strategy, the gentle senior, has been successful by the Youguo strategy,Now he is confessing with a red face and shyness,Two options appear next to itγ
[A, reject him B, promise him]
Youguo stared at the screen for a long time, then sneered and refused.
The senior's face changed suddenly, his shy expression instantly became dejected, and he had to force a smile and say to Youguo: [It's okay, I will always protect you. γ
THE SCREEN GOES BLACK, AND THE RAIDERS GAME GOES TO BAD END.
The corners of Youguo's mouth curled, and he smiled.
System:......
The system saw it clearly, and said speechlessly: "You know he's not Kurolo." β
Hearing the name, Youguo's mouth drooped, and he said to the system in a vicious voice: "You care about me." β
The system consciously took care of it, didn't speak, watched Youguo throw the game console on the ground at will, then walked into the bathroom, turned on the light, skillfully poured water into the bathtub, threw the bath bomb, and then took off his clothes and took a shower.
The expression is leisurely, and there is no sense of urgency to complete the strategy task as a host.
Halfway through the wash, the system began to speak again: "Host, you have to go and complete the mission." β
Youguo in the bathtub was blowing bubbles beautifully, indifferent to the system's words, leaning back against the bathtub and closing his eyes to recuperate, talking to the system in his head.
"I'm quitting." Youguo said without hesitation, the tragic images of the first three deaths flashed back in his mind: "Whoever likes to do it." β
The system was probably stunned and asked, "Don't you want to be resurrected?" β
Youguo's real-world vegetative body is still hanging on nutrient solution in the hospital, and if he doesn't do it, the body hanging in the hospital will also die. At the beginning, Youguo was bound to him by the system because of his strong desire to survive, and now Youguo said that he would quit, which is equivalent to saying to the system that I decided to die.
Something is wrong, the system looked at Youguo's mental state, and it was clear that the desire to survive was still very strong.
System: "Don't you want to go back to school?" β
Youguo pulled the bubbles in the bathtub, his face full of indifference: "Who has not died in life since ancient times, it's a big deal that my life is restarted, I can enjoy it now, and strive to have a good baby in the next life." β
The system was silent again, "What do you think... It's a bit hard. β
Youguo, who was paddling in the bidet, felt that something was wrong, and he squinted and said in a dangerous tone: "System, what do you mean?" β
Youguo thought about what he had just said, his heart beat heavily, and he spoke to the system in his head: "You won't tell me that I can't be reincarnated." β
The system didn't deny it, but said, "There are only ten chances - host, this is your last chance." β
Youguo twitched the corners of his mouth and didn't speak, closed his eyes, held his breath, and smothered his whole body into the bathtub, bubbles came out of Youguo's mouth in the water, and they burst with a pop when they floated to the water.
Youguo remembered the university he hadn't yet attended, and he wasted all his hard work to get into college, but he was sent here because of a bastard who drank and drove.
And that's the end of it?
He was not reconciled.
The oxygen in his lungs was consumed, and Youguo, who was sunk in the bathtub, closed his eyes, his body without oxygen began to chill, his chest was stuffy, and warm water poured in from Youguo's nose and ears, his body began to sink and become heavier, and his eyes were black.
The bathtub full of foam was quiet for dozens of seconds, a pair of pale hands broke out of the water and grabbed the edge of the bathtub tightly, Youguo poked his head out of the bathtub and lay on the edge of the bathtub and coughed up several mouthfuls of water, staring at the snow-white tiles on the bathroom floor, his eyes were red.
The system spoke up: "Have you thought about it?" β
Youguo lay on the edge of the tub and wiped his face, the water dropping down his skin and into the embrace of the floor.
"I really owe you."
Youguo cursed twice, stepped out of the bathtub with his feet up, wrapped himself in a bathrobe and went out.
The bedroom door, which had been closed for ten days, finally opened.
The servants in the house wept with joy.

It's been a month since the start of the school year at Roskina, and the weather is still hot, and it seems that an egg on the ground can be baked.
The school is full of greenery, and the buildings of different departments are very different, but the architecture of the history department is classical and stable, imitating the characteristics of the ancient buildings of the Republic of Batochia thousands of years ago, and the students of the history department come and go in the shade of the trees with thick bricks in their hands.
Those who can study in Roskina are geniuses, especially the history department, which has extremely strict admission requirements, and one after another three or two students follow them to the classroom with books in their hands.
There was already a dark-haired boy in the classroom, wearing only a simple white shirt, but with his overly outstanding appearance he was already well-known in Roskinner, and many girls passed through the history department classroom over and over again.
He looked gentle and harmless, but there was no one around him, as if he had completely forgotten where he was.
Sitting in his seat, slowly flipping through the thick book in his hand, Kurolo's pure black almond eyes were lowering his eyes, quietly scanning the words on the paper, and when he saw something incomprehensible, he pursed his lips lightly, and quickly stretched his eyebrows.
Others thought he was thinking about some problem, but in fact, Kurolo was thinking about how to grab the precious ancient books he had seen two days ago.
That book was very collectible, and Kurolo had been paying attention to it for a long time, and the whereabouts of the ancient book had finally been discovered by the knight, and he planned to get it in two days.
The students who had been several seats away from him whispered, not loud, but still audible to Kurolo.
"Have you heard?"
Kurolo calmly flipped the page.
"What?"
"Two days ago, the young master of the Tours family enrolled in school."
"Wow, which department did he study?"
"I heard it's finance, but where else can I study besides finance?"
"Yes."
Tours' reputation in the Republic of Batochia was no less than that of the Beaters who lived at the foot of the Dry Killing Mountains, except that the Beaters relied on the name of the Assassination Family, which had been passed down from generation to generation, and Tours relied on the countless amounts of money that flowed like a river at their feet.
Kurolo paused to flip through the book, touched his chin, and smiled.
*
Youguo did a few days of psychological construction for himself, temporarily walking around the place of the history department, the experience of the first three weeks of the program made him too clear about the trajectory of Kulolo's movements, so he came to the school for half a month, he basically couldn't see Kulolo's heels.
But not seeing doesn't mean you can't hear it, it's still too hard to have that face and want to have no sense of existence, and the ten girls in Roskinari are basically talking about the humorous Kurolo Rusiru in the history department.
It's too normal.,Surrounded by either five big and three thick sports students.,Or a thin nerd.,Good personality is average.,Handsome personality is also average.,Suddenly there is a boy with a good personality and all kinds of appearance.,It also has the gentleness and mystery that girls like the most.,It's no wonder that some girls scream excitedly when they say it.γ
Youguo heard the content of those girls' whispered conversations clearly, and he just twitched the corners of his mouth to comment on the content of those girls' conversations, and his imagination was really good.
If he hadn't been through three weeks, he would have believed it.
The teacher in the finance department gave assignments and needed to check a lot of papers.
A classmate from the same department came over and asked Youguo if he wanted to go to the library together, and Youguo's refusal had already come to his lips, and he suddenly remembered that Kurolo at this time usually disappeared for a few days a month, and he should not be in school at this time, so the refusal that floated to his lips turned a corner, and he laughed with the classmate who asked him: "Okay, let's go together." β
Roskina had three libraries, and just in case, Yougo and his classmates went to the one furthest from the history department.
The system saw that Youguo deliberately avoided Kurolo, so he said faintly: "You are wasting time like this. β
Youguo was talking to his classmates, and continued to stop the topic with his classmates as usual, and then said to the system in his heart: "You must give me a little time." β
System: "What time?" β
Youguo's face did not change, and his tone when he spoke was sincere and moving, implying a threat - in fact, it was a broken jar.
"A little time to prepare, it's a death to go up directly now, or we'll both die together."
The system stopped talking, Youguo and his classmates had already arrived at the door of the library, and a blue-haired girl came out, fair-skinned, delicate and cold-looking, passing by the two of them expressionlessly, and her body was cold from thousands of miles away.
The eyes of the classmates around him were straight, and the blue-haired girl passed by him and took his soul with him.
Youguo can't help but look at it twice, although his sexual orientation is male, it does not affect his appreciation of beautiful women, especially beautiful women who look beautiful at a glance.
It wasn't until the back of the iceberg beauty gradually moved away that Youguo reached out and patted his classmate's arm, and the soul of the lost classmate finally returned to his body.
The classmate swallowed his saliva and asked Youguo nervously: "You said that I will catch up with her now and ask her for a phone, can I get it?" β
Youguo looked back at the girl again, and her cold appearance looked like a kaolin flower, but at a glance, Youguo turned his head and neatly rejected his classmates' expectations.
"Don't think about it, it can't be."
The classmate was disappointed, "Why?" β
Youguo can't say it, although the beauty looks slender and thin, it doesn't seem to be dangerous, but when you think about it, Youguo always feels that when the girl's eyes look at it, it feels very familiar for a moment.
A horror that makes people's hairs stand on end.
The last time it gave him this feeling was Kurolo, and Youguo was already troubled, and he felt that he was afraid that he had Kurolo PTSD.
The two of them have already entered the library, needless to say, Youguo has experienced three weeks in this world and is very clear about the unknown dangers in this strange and familiar world, he looked at the disappointed classmate and thought about the organizational language: "You can't handle that girl, she looks at you like an ant." β
The classmate sighed, leaving the glimpse behind him, and walked towards the place where he wanted to borrow the book, when he suddenly felt a familiar creepy feeling coming from behind.
Youguo stiffened, "System, what's going on?" β
The system appeared, scanning the circle and saying the words that scared Yugo half to death: "Kurolo is behind you." β
Youguo gasped, his hands shaking as he prepared to find the book.
He turned his head to look at it again, and the black-haired boy in a white shirt was sitting less than five meters away from him, supporting his head with one hand, and flipping through the pages of the book on the table with the other hand.
Youguo's right eyelid jumped wildly, turned his head and cursed in his heart, and asked the system: "What's the situation!" β
Youguo spoke to the system, "Shouldn't he be out of school today?" And how did you get to this library? β
The system didn't know anything, and only said, "I don't know." β
Youguo: "...... What's the use of asking you. β
The system didn't care about Youguo's taunt, because Kurolo's appearance urged: "Now is the chance to get close to him, let's go." β
Youguo thought about going up and down, going to the next ghost, and as soon as he turned his footsteps and walked in another direction, he planned to slip away quickly.
Pretending to flip through the two books, Youguo exhaled lightly and stuffed the dizzying books back into their original positions, randomly pulled out a few books and held them in his arms without looking at them, turned around and walked in the direction of the library door, and hit a hard chest head-on, and the books in his arms crackled and fell to the ground.
Like an iron plate, Youguo covered his forehead and gasped, and his heart bumped into something resentful.
Before he could raise his head to look, Youguo heard a familiar voice coming from in front of him.
Kurolo, who was still sitting in his seat reading a book just now, is now standing in front of Youguo, his dark and big eyes are looking at him quietly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth is gentle and calm, so personable.
Then he bent down to look at him, smiled and asked, "Are you okay?" β
What Youguo wanted to do most was to slam the book in his hand on Kulolo's face, but he endured it and squeezed out a smile.
"I'm fine."
