Chapter 27 Section 27

Naoko issued a manifesto on the morning of New Year's Day.The low-legged dining table was covered with good dishes she cooked herself.After saying Happy New Year to each other, the two clinked glasses with Japanese sake instead of Tusu wine.Ever since she had a drink when she released her junior high school exam results, she has practiced enough to drink a little. The programs in the first lunar month are being played on the TV.Those popular actors wore costumes that felt like the first month of the lunar year, sang and watched songs, and played games; some comedians played trick games; some sports players challenged guessing riddles.A kind of relaxed air that only today can not think about those troubles hangs over Japan.Hirasuke was also immersed in that atmosphere.But that was before he heard Naoko say that.

"Participate in the high school entrance examination?" Hirasuke asked again.He was concentrating on watching TV with a happy smile on his face. "Yes." Naoko stretched her waist and nodded, "I hope you will allow me to take the high school entrance examination next spring." "Then wait. In your current junior high school, as long as your grades are not particularly poor, can you directly enter high school? Is it necessary to take the senior high school entrance examination?" "Think about going to other high schools for me." "Other high schools? Are you dissatisfied with your current school?"

"I can't say I'm dissatisfied, it's just that it doesn't match my goal." "Target?" "Maybe it is more appropriate to say that it is the direction of future development." "So, have you figured out the way to go?" "Ok." "What way?" Heijie asked while turning off the TV. Naoko answered clearly, "Medical major." Naoko's voice was especially loud because the TV had just gone off. Heisuke looked at Naoko's face seriously, and she looked at Heisuke with the same emotion. "Medicine? So you want to be a doctor in the future?"

"I don't know yet. But anyway, I want to study medicine. Unfortunately, the university above our school doesn't have a medical major." "So it's a medical major." Heisuke rubbed his face.He has no concept of the medical profession in the university.The term medical profession itself lacked a sense of reality for him. "Why do you suddenly have such thoughts again?" "I've been thinking about what I want to do, but I haven't thought about it clearly. So, I turned to what I'm interested in, and I found the answer easily. My interest is in myself .Why did such an unbelievable thing happen? What is it like to be alive? What is consciousness and the body? These are all things I want to know. And to satisfy my wish, the only choice is to study medicine.”

"Oh, it's the consciousness and the body...things like that." Heisuke realized again that it seemed that she was still thinking about the incredible things that happened to her in her own way.At the same time, he could also understand that these things were what she was most interested in. Heisuke crossed his arms and put on a thoughtful pose, but he didn't think about any specific issues.He just couldn't figure out what to do. "What you're talking about is after college, right? Isn't it okay to go directly to high school like now?" "It's not like that!"

Naoko’s reason is that the school she is currently attending is indeed of a high level, but because she can go directly to university without too much effort, the students don’t feel any sense of urgency.This situation may be further exacerbated if high school follows this trend.And if she's the only one who wants to take a university medical major, it's easy to relax and go with the flow. "Whether you follow the trend depends mainly on yourself. I think as long as you have that determination, you can work hard in that direction." Hirasuke said without confidence.He did not go through the college entrance examination. After graduating from junior high school, he directly entered a higher vocational school.

"Actually, there is another reason." "there's still one?" "I want to go to co-ed high school." Ping Jie was speechless all of a sudden.This sentence gave him a big blow, but he was not unexpected.He was vaguely aware of this when he heard her mention that he wanted to take the senior high school entrance examination.It can be said that this is also the motivation for his dissent. Naoko's explanation of why she went to a co-ed high school is convincing.What she basically meant was that most of the people who want to study medicine are boys. If you can be aware of their existence around you, you will also arouse your desire to learn and recognize your own situation.

Heisuke had no choice but to admit reluctantly: "You may be right." No matter what you do, as long as there is competition, it is best to have competitors by your side. This is a self-evident truth. However, the knot in his heart still could not be untied.The thought of Naoko being with a boy who seemed to be around her age gave him an inexplicable sense of resistance. Do you really want to go to co-ed high school for the sake of studying? ——Heisuke really wanted to ask Naoko that.Could it be that she made such an excuse to play with young boys?Could it be that you want to use Sami Nami's body to enjoy youth again?

However, he couldn't express such thoughts, otherwise he would appear too petty.If she simply put forward her hope from the perspective of studying, but she arbitrarily equated co-education with the relationship between men and women, she would definitely despise her dirty thinking. Being despised by Naoko is the thing Heisuke fears the most. "I understand. So you have to study hard for another year." After speaking, he slowly poured Japanese wine into the glass, as if he was both an understanding father and an understanding husband. "Forgive me for being capricious. But I don't think our family will have any difficulty in supporting me as a medical student?" Naoko asked apprehensively.

Heisuke immediately understood the meaning of her words, she was talking about the compensation for that accident.The Qian Pingjie has never been touched, but has been divided into several parts and stored in the bank.The two had discussed how to use the money to live up to the consciousness of the dead Sami Nami and the body of Naoko, but they never came to a good conclusion.Now that Naoko made this suggestion, it should be very appropriate. "Sanami Miden will definitely agree to this." After speaking, he drank the wine in his glass. Just like when she was in junior high school, Naoko was not slack in preparing for the high school exam.She spent the previous Saturdays and Sundays on weekends, but such days are gone forever.No friends came to play with her at home. In her own words, "I told them that I would take the college entrance examination, and they stopped coming to play with me."Then she added: "But this is also good, instead of rejecting their invitations again and again, it will be easier."

"Let's say goodbye to luxury." After saying this, she didn't even buy the novel, and replaced it with reference books and exercises that filled the bookshelf. The only remaining entertainment is listening to music.When she listens to Led Zipplin, the county means she has just successfully solved a math problem, and if she were to learn English, she would choose to listen to Mozart.By analogy, society is CASIOPEA, Mandarin is QUEEN, and if it is science, it is Matsutoya Yumi.In this way, now Hirasuke can tell what subject she is reviewing based on the music played in her room. She didn’t choose the easy path, but deliberately chose the hard path, sacrificing the happy time to learn... There is no reason why she didn’t get rewarded for her hard work—the next spring, she successfully I was admitted to my ideal school.This time, Hirasuke went to see the release of the results with her just like last time. Naoko smiled when she saw her own test number in the list of qualified candidates.
