There is a kind of love in the world that has always been wavering between family and romantic love.

That is the admiration of an older sister for her younger brother, and the dependence of the younger brother on his older sister.

I always thought that kind of feeling would last forever, at least until the gods disappeared.

Until later, when the last god also left...

"You must live on strong and change that desperate future... Dad!"

"Dad?"

I don't know how many nights, there is always a black-haired girl who looks very much like the president, cutely calling me dad.

Her articulate and sharp-witted appearance is very likable, and I'm not sure why I feel warm whenever I see her, a warmth that comes from family.

"Dad, one day... Dad, mom, and Jeana will definitely meet!"

"Meet? What do you mean?"

"It's the promise that Dad made to Mom and Jeana. I believe Dad will never break it, whether it's the future dad or the past (present) dad, Jeana believes in him!"

Every night, I dream of something that makes me uneasy and dull in the chest.

Although the little girl's face is blurry, I am sure that person is the president.

Laughter and joy surround me, and I feel like I'm back in that carefree era.

I have a normal high school life, and my family is happy and content. My dad and mom are always at home with me.

"Juxi, you're back from school!"

Dad took off his formal suit and replaced it with a grayish-white shirt, sitting at the table, looking at the newspaper that was just delivered this morning.

Mom, on the other hand, is busy in the kitchen, wearing an apron, and occasionally pretending to be angry at Dad.

"Honey, put the newspaper aside when it's time to eat, okay!"

"Hahaha, my dear, my only interest is reading the newspaper. You don't want to interfere with that, do you?"

Dad is very satisfied when he teasingly angers Mom, as if he intentionally wants to provoke her.

"Dad, Mom, I'll go to my room first!"

It's such a simple greeting, this is the kind of family I need.

Wealth and prosperity are not important to me!

But I have had all of these, except for a warm and loving life, which I have never had.

I have never thought of hurting anyone with my power, even those who have hurt me, I try my best to get close to them.

I still remember that year when I entered middle school, there was no forbidden fate or annoying choices.

But the battles have never ended, and the journey of the new world is still ongoing.

Closing my eyes, the world I see conflicts with the illusions in my eyes, including going to school...

"Anyone who likes going to school must be a fool!"

That's what I said, and this sentence has been guiding me till today.

I unzip my backpack and I can enjoy the sunlight at the classroom window.

Even a small hybrid like me, who is inferior to ordinary people, can enjoy such a thing. I feel that it's worth being alive.

As you can see, I have shoulder-length hair and I am an incurable otaku.

No one wants to deal with me, except for her...

"Jukun, have you finished your homework?"

"Uh, not yet, can you wait a little longer?"

The class president is really beautiful. It is said that she is always cheerful and optimistic. Her watery eyes and her beautiful twin tails are like angels in my dreams!

She is very responsible at work, but there is one thing... she has been bothering me since morning, more than a nagging reaper!

By the way, where did my notebook go... eh?!

A yellow-haired fellow suddenly popped out where I put my notebook!

"Uh, what is this?"

I tried to touch it with my finger, but oh no!

That little rascal dared to bite me with its mouth! Then I saw the debris next to it, resembling a book or something, and I think I understand what's going on.

So, it turns out that I am Cheng Jiu's pet chicken, Xiao A, who grew up at my grandmother's house. Speaking of which, I thought it was lost.

I didn't expect that Xiao A (little chicken) sneaked into my backpack, still holding the remnants of my homework book. So cute...

No, wait, what's cute about it!

My books and homework, how am I going to explain this to the teacher and the class president?

Looking at my panicked face, the class president looked at me with innocent curiosity.

"Um... did you forget to bring it?"

"Well, wait a minute! Let me check again..."

Huh? The class monitor leaned close to me, with her hands on her hips, as if she was worried about me.

Class monitor... you're too close!

The class monitor, Yu Nai, looked at me absentmindedly and said with a reproachful tone, "Juxi, you haven't turned in your homework yet!"

"Well, class monitor, look..."

I squeezed the leg of the little chicken and took it out of my bag as evidence.

"...Wow, it's so...cough cough cough, don't think that you can bribe the class monitor with a little chicken. You must turn in your homework today!"

You're lying. You're clearly tempted, but I dare not say it.

"Hmph, bringing a pet to school, I'll confiscate it!"

As she said that, she snatched Little A who was licking the back of my hand. But instead of wanting to leave me, Little A seemed to be furious and gave Yu Nai's finger a hard bite.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Yu Nai reflexively let go of her hand, and Little A took the opportunity to escape from her grasp and returned to my arms.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

While it stayed in my embrace, it made squeaking sounds as if protesting against something.

But it made Yu Nai furious.

"Hehe, Juxi!"

"Yes?"

"Name your price. I want to buy your little chicken... Ah, should I stew it or fry it?"

Looking at her desperate look, I knew that she had some ill intentions towards my Little A (everyone knows that).

"Alright, everyone, go back to your seats. I'm going to start the class!"

"Yes, teacher!"

Our math teacher ordered everyone to return to their seats, and Yu Nai had no choice but to give up for now.

Yes, every day repeats like yesterday, but the contents of each day never overlap.

I really wish this dream could continue forever...

"Juxi! Juxi! Wake up!"

Someone is calling me, is it Yu Nai? Or the student council president?

"Um, is class over?"

"Hehe, the teacher has already informed your family that you didn't turn in your homework today!"

"Ah, class monitor, do you have to be so heartless?"

I fell asleep again for the whole afternoon, but when I woke up close to dusk, I had a pleasant surprise.

Yu Nai grabbed me tightly and said... I can only go home after completing the homework.

"Huh...?"

Sigh, I'm my own worst enemy. I've been absent-minded all day, and now school is over.

I watched as other classes had already finished and left, but Yu Nai didn't care at all. She only cared about punishing me properly.

Helplessly, I took out a new notebook and started to catch up on the unfinished homework.

"Don't leave until you finish writing. I'll be watching you!"

Moonlight rose, and darkness fell.

I'm the kind of person who procrastinates on homework.

But it is precisely because of this that the two of us can have a small desk lamp lit under the moonlight. I sat on the podium while Yu Nai sat at the edge of the podium.

Thanks to this miraculous encounter, we formed a deep friendship.

"What about today's homework?"

"Here, I finished it properly."

"Hmm, good job!"

Every time I hear her praise, I feel a sense of unease. I always feel like I'm constantly chasing after her.

Summer vacation...

Do I have to stay at home like before?

Somehow, I gradually grew tired of staying home all the time during the summer. But summer vacation is so long... sigh!

I turned off the computer game and lay alone on the empty bed in my room.

"Should I call the class monitor... or forget it?"

The idea that just emerged in my mind was immediately killed. As an incurable shut-in like me... no one would like me, right?

I rubbed my tangled long hair and started to daydream.

The class monitor is so popular and cute, there must be countless boys around her (not that they would miss me anyway)!

"...forget it, hehe."

With a bitter smile, he hung up his phone and fell back onto the bed.

Well, maybe it's not so bad to maintain this kind of relationship. On the other hand, if things don't go well, it might affect our friendship as well.

Let our youth shine like this...

I've already dispelled the thought of calling. Getting involved with someone like me will only bring her trouble, won't it?

Summer is still the same as before, with me ordering takeout alone and playing games alone.

Buzz...

"Oh no, my phone...!"

I never expected Yu Nai to call me. I'm quite surprised!

"Hello, is this Juxi?"

"Yes, it's me!"

It's my first time talking to the class monitor on the phone, so I can't help but feel a little nervous.

Will my tone sound lifeless? Will my choice of words be inappropriate? I'm really worried about these things.

"Um... Juxi, right?"

"Here, I'm here!"

The class monitor's voice is really pleasant to listen to. I wish I could listen to it for a little longer.

"Um... if you're free tomorrow, would you like to go to the water park together, of course with my friends too!"

"..."

I'm getting a little excited. Even if it's just being invited as a friend, it's my first time!

"Is it not possible?"

"N-no, I'd love to go with the class monitor!"

"Great, let's meet at ten tomorrow morning!"

Yes! I can't believe my ears. The popular class monitor, loved by everyone, is inviting this rotten, smelly shut-in like me?

You see, when I started school...

On the first day of school, everyone was filled with expectations for the new campus and new friends, including me who had just arrived at the school gate.

Because I'm a shut-in, I had great expectations for the outside world.

But... reality always likes to play tricks on people.

"Ew, so disgusting, look at that person!"

Girls everywhere were gossiping, criticizing that person, who was actually me!

Whenever I passed by a classroom, people would point and talk about me. Even the kind-hearted ones whispered about me behind my back.

Maybe they were just discussing why my weird bangs covered my eyes, without any intention of mocking me, hehehe!

...I hope that's the case!
