Chapter 101: Pig Story
Library, study room.

An hour and a half later, Sakura and Tomoyo put down their pens and stretched their bodies.

“Finally finished writing.”

Sakura exhaled, only to feel her back ache and her wrists weak.

Tomoyo also smiled and said, "I have finished my homework too. I have worked hard to complete it. It must be a great sense of accomplishment."

"interesting……"

Sakura felt a little embarrassed. She didn't want a sense of accomplishment, she just wanted to finish her homework as soon as possible.

If she had copied the homework, she could have shortened the time to half an hour, but it was a pity that she had let down Xia's kindness in staying.

At this moment, Xiao Ke, who came with her, said proudly, "I wrote half of Xiao Ying's math homework."

In response to Xiao Ke's request for credit, Xiao Ying said softly, "Thank you."

"Don't forget my yokan."

It helps Sakura with her homework but has one request, which is that Sakura buys it the yokan seen in the TV commercials.

"Got it. I'll buy it for you tomorrow."

Listening to the conversation between Sakura and Kero, Tomoyo recalled how Kero had always been unreliable, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

She paused and suggested, "Sakura, now that you've finished your math homework, let's check the answers."

"Ok!"

"There's no need to check the part I did, there will definitely be no problem." Xiao Ke made a very confident declaration.

Seeing Xiao Ke's expression, Xiao Ying thought for a moment, turned to Xiao Ke's part first, and read aloud: "The answer to the first question is..."

"1000 yen."

"350 yen."

"..."

Hearing the different answers, Xiao Ke pointed at Zhi Shi and said shamelessly: "Zhi Shi, how could you get such a simple question wrong?"

"Um... I bought five 5 yen pencils, and this is 70 yen?"

Sakura looked at Xiao Ke in confusion. Facing Sakura's probing gaze, Xiao Ke explained confidently, "That's right, but wouldn't it be better to just take 1000 yen and ask the boss for change?"

"..."

Justified and convincing.

Seeing Xiaoke's unique train of thought, Xiaoying suddenly realized that it seemed a bit hasty to ask Xiaoke to help with the exercises.

She hurriedly flipped through the remaining exercises and read them word by word.

"I don't know...I won't buy it..."

"Hello... I like to eat noodles..."

"..."

Sakura was so upset about Xiaoke's answers. How should she put it? It was unexpected but also reasonable.

She was a big fool for believing Xiaoke.

"Don't even think about eating yokan!"

Sakura angrily used an eraser to erase the answer written by Xiaoke and yelled at Xiaoke. The only thing to be thankful for was that Xiaoke used a pencil.

If you use a ballpoint pen, you will really be in tears.

"Why?!"

Xiao Ke was also in tears. He worked so hard to help with homework, but he didn’t get any reward?

Is there still justice? Is there still law?
A world where Sakura and Kero are both injured appears.

Tomoyo, who had been watching from the sidelines, chuckled: "Haha~ As expected, you still have to do your own homework."

Sakura erased Xiaoke's answer and spent nearly an hour again before finally filling in the correct answer.

Looking at the math problems in her hands, Sakura silently swallowed her grievances and helplessness. If she had known earlier, she would have written them herself and never been lazy again.

"Okay, Sakura, let's take notes on our reading. It's not time for a break yet." Tomoyo said the cruel truth in a sweet voice. Sakura: orz
"I...I know."

In order to finish her homework, Sakura stood up in one go and went to the book collection area with Tomoyo, ready to find the book that had already been decided.

Among the books designated by the teacher, the thinnest one is "Pig Story", which can be finished in less than an hour. This is also the choice of most students.

"By the way, Tomoyo, are your reading notes also about the pig story?"

While looking for the Pig Story, Sakura curiously asked Tomoyo that if she couldn't find the Pig Story, she planned to refer to the book Tomoyo had read.

"No, I'm reading a book recommended to me by classmate Xia."

Her reading notes were about "The Moon and Sixpence" which Xia Yu recommended during the summer festival. Although the content was a bit long, she still finished reading it.

"What book is it? Is it interesting?"

"Well... it may be a little too profound for Sakura, and there is a lot of content. Sakura should just read Pig Story." Tomoyo smiled slightly and didn't say the title of the book.

That book is not something that children of their age should read, and I don’t know why Student Xia would read this type of book.

……

"Ah~cut!"

"Who's talking about me?"

In a secluded place where he was reading, Xia Yu rubbed the tip of his nose with the joint of his index finger. The sneeze just now came unexpectedly.

I looked up at the sun outside the window. It had been almost two hours since I first came to the library.

“I haven’t realized I’ve been watching this for so long.”

Xia Yu stretched and put down the "The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Setting Collection" in his hand. After finishing reading the Diablo setting collection, he found several game setting collections in the nearby area, and then he kept reading until now.

Although the graphics of games nowadays are very simple, compared to the later games that only focus on graphics and not gameplay, today's games are indeed more sincere.

"No, I need to move around."

Xia Yu picked up the book he had brought with him and planned to put it back in its place and then move around. Although standing is not as good as sitting, sitting for too long will cause back pain.

It's just like those poor novel writers who sit in front of the computer for hours but can't squeeze out many words, and sooner or later they will die of exhaustion in front of the computer.

"Fortunately, I don't have the idea of ​​being a plagiarist. Writing novels has no future and is a dead end."

After returning the books, Xia Yu started wandering around the library. The library was quite large, so he wasn't worried about disturbing others.

After walking for a while, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

"Huh? Li Xiaolang?"

On the windowsill not far away, Li Xiaolang was silently reading a book in his hand. There was also a thick and large "Japanese-Chinese Dictionary" on the windowsill.

"Tsk, this kid is pretty serious."

The Japanese-Chinese dictionary is obviously used to look up words that you don't know. Although there are many Chinese characters in Japanese, the meanings of Japanese Chinese characters have long been different from those of Chinese characters due to continuous evolution.

It’s nothing that Li Xiaolang can look up words in the dictionary, but when he encounters a word he doesn’t know, the first thing he thinks of is to look it up in the dictionary. This also indirectly proves that Li Xiaolang is very serious about everything he does.

"Hey, Xiaolang, you are reading a book."

After thinking about it, Xia Yu walked over and said hello. After all, he had seen it, so he couldn't just pretend he didn't see it.

Hearing the greeting, Li Xiaolang withdrew his gaze from the book and looked at Xia Yu who was walking towards him.

Xia Yu also saw the book in Li Xiaolang's hand at this time. Because it was open, he only caught a glimpse of the word "豚". "豚" also means pig in Japanese, so...

“You’re watching the postpartum care of sows?”

Xia Yu looked at Li Xiaolang in surprise and exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to have such a hobby. You can't judge a person by his appearance. You can't measure the depth of the sea by its depth."

"certainly not!!"

Li Xiaolang's face flushed. He slammed the book shut in his hand and revealed the cover.

"This is Piggy Story, the book specified in the reading notes!"

　Writing novels is so much fun. Everyone should go and write novels. You can easily earn a million dollars a year.
