Chapter 178

Japanese teachers want to bring the Chinese students a “real Japan”, to tell these Chinese students all about their proud culture, and they think that if they tell them more, if they tell them well enough, these Chinese students will be moved by Japan.

They were not unaware of Yang Yuyan’s hostility toward Japan, but her concern for Japan also raised the Chinese students’ concern for Japan.

If they were to tell the story of Japan, whether it was true or false, Chinese students would be wary and would not believe it easily.

But Chinese students are more likely to believe what they hear from their own countrymen.

As long as they believe it, the next step for Japanese teachers is how to make them like Japan.

So it doesn’t matter if the information is wrong!

With this in mind, whatever Yang Yuyan said to the Chinese students, they went along with her words and picked out topics to introduce Japan to the Chinese students.

To their delight, more Chinese students are now talking about Japan. Japan was no longer just a monotonous and one-sided image of the enemy in their mouths, but it was beginning to be more fully fleshed out.

Chinese students know the samurai, the general, the daimyo, and Japanese food, all thanks to Yang Yuyan.

“Japanese food is hard to eat.” Yang Yuyan said at the lunch table at the Little Red House.

She has recently become a Japanophile, commenting on everything Japanese.

Everyone at the table was holding forth, but the only ones listening carefully to what she was saying were Yang Yucan and Shi Wuwei; Professor Dai and Zhu Yanshu just laughed from the sidelines.

Zhang Ma didn’t want to tear down Second Miss Yang and spoke in a small voice.

Zhang Ma muttered in a small voice, “When have you ever eaten?”

Zhu Yanshu sneered, “Let her blow.”

Prof. Dai said softly, “Yan Yan said it very well. Whether it’s true or not, she’s right. Look how carefully Little Cicada and Wuwei are listening.”

The three adults didn’t stop them, and Yang Yuyan’s speech impulse was completely aroused!

Yang Yuyan: “I used to think their dumplings were delicious, but they’re actually just dough balls, colorfully made, just ordinary dough balls, glutinous rice, right? Soft is quite soft, no flavor, pouring juice and sold. Ugh, it’s disappointing to eat.” Manga, anime played in how much people drool ah, really eat in the mouth really …… name does not match!

“The sushi rice is sweet and sour, tasty yes, but a bit too hard. Anyway, I eat sushi to eat two on the full, the rest can not eat anything.”

“The ramen is ordinary, not very amazing, I still like the noodles on our side.”

“There’s nothing else special. There’s a lot of seafood over there, lots of fish, shrimp, and shellfish, so let’s eat fresh.”

“It’s a huge amount of dishes for one meal! They can even cut three slices of cucumber to put on a plate and pretend it’s a dish.”

Also, good photo ops. Any self-service headshot machine on the side of the road could turn someone into a manga version of a beautiful girl. She didn’t feel bad about going to Japan for anything else, but she had to have fun taking pictures and pretending she looked like this, and it was so beautiful.

I can’t talk about this. Yang Yuyan swallowed back the last sentence, ending all her impressions of Japan.

Oh yes, Flower Street is really just a street, all tourists, all tourists, all tourists!

The advantage of attending an aristocratic school is that they travel abroad twice a year, all under the false pretense that they are taking money out of their parents’ pockets on the grounds of school trips and growing their knowledge, increasing the school’s revenue.

Yang Yu Cicada listened intently, and wanted to ask “When did you go to a Japanese restaurant to eat?” Because as far as she could remember, ever since Yang Xuhe left, their family hadn’t gone out to eat at a restaurant. But before Yang Xuhe left, when the family still go out to restaurants from time to time, often go to the French restaurant, Japanese restaurant really have not been ah ……

But sushi, ramen and these things sound real again, not like nonsense. Then could it be that Mr. Su had taken Yang Yuyan there?

Considering this, Yang Yuchan didn’t open her mouth to retort and only focused on the question, “Why is sushi rice sweet and sour? I see that Japanese students don’t put vinegar in their rice either.” Japanese students eat really only put soy sauce with salted vegetables, side dishes do have cucumber, but like Yang Yuyan told, one person just share a few slices, it looks pathetic, a lot of students thought that the Japanese students are too poor, and there is an excess of love to say that we should not donate some rice to Japanese students or something.

Yang Yuyan said: “Because sushi used to be the Japanese fishermen’s food, they bring rice on board, caught the fish directly cut the meat and rice together, the ship does not open fire or something, just bring a salt or soy sauce or pickles. The rice was sour that was bad. Later it became the flavor of sushi, specializing in sour rice.”

Yang Yu Cicada’s eyes widened, wanting to ask “Is this true? Are you making this up?” , but did not dare to.

Because before Yang Yuyan said that Japanese generals and daimyo all raised young boys as lovers, everyone thought she was making it up, but when Mr. Kobayashi lectured, he said that it was true, that it was a very sincere love, and that there were also love letters written by the generals to their lovers, and Mr. Kobayashi recited a small paragraph in class, which was very touching!

The whole class froze.

The male students even more so.

This is really too incredible.

It was too exciting.

Yang Yuchan looked at Shi Wuwei and kind of wondered what he was thinking.

Shi Wuwei listened to what the Japanese ate for a meal, and later on, Yang Yuyan said that the Emperor of Japan would eat pickled and stinky fish because it was too precious, so only the Emperor could eat it cloudy, and he kept his concentration high and listened all the time, and as a result, he didn’t eat much of his own meal.

After lunch, the Zhu family’s mother and daughter went for a nap.

Neither Prof. Dai nor Shi Wuwei had such a luxurious habit of sitting on the small balcony and reading.

Prof. Dai noticed that Shi Wuwei had turned over the writings he had read about foreign countries and re-read them, and asked him with a smile, “Revisiting the old books, do you have any new insights?”

Shi Wuwei closed the book by the Japanese author in his hand and sighed, “It’s not as easy as it looks on paper.”

When he was studying foreign languages, he had read a vast amount of works in foreign languages and thought that he had understood those foreigners very well. But he recently realized that his so-called understanding was too shallow, although Yan Yan did not read so many books like him, her understanding of Japan was far better than his.

Professor Dai laughed, ”You should not be intimidated by Yan Yan. She hasn’t been to Japan either, and she knows very little about Japan. She just dares to speak up and speak out, so she appears as if she knows a lot.”

Shi Wuwei said, “That I know. I envy Yan Yan’s boldness very much. But I also do feel that I have not learned nearly enough.”

Prof. Dai was overjoyed, “It’s good that you can think that way.”

He knew that what he was most worried about in the past was Shi Wuwei’s realization that he had “learned enough”!

Shi Wuwei used to say that people in his family used to not even know how to write their own names, and now that he could study at the university, learn the languages of so many countries, and read hundreds of books, he felt that he had already satisfied himself and had already had enough.

He would stay on at the university simply because he didn’t know where to go after leaving it. He had made the university his home, so of course he didn’t want to leave it.

He will continue to study, also because the Acting Professor let him study. He was repaying Prof. Dai’s kindness, just as a child listens to his parents.

He did not have the desire to go upward and study on his own.

This was also one of the reasons why Dai Yushu had been uneasy about sending Shi Wuwei out.

He himself did not have a sense of initiative to pursue his studies, sending him to an unfamiliar environment without the urging of others, would he really be able to maintain his motivation to study?

Until now, Shi Wuwei finally said “I haven’t learned enough”.

Dai Yushu simply had no regrets about dying!

He hated that he couldn’t send Shi Wuwei out right away!

The situation in China is not good anymore, the school may not be safe all the time, and the outside world is changing three times a day, so it’s best to leave as soon as possible if you can still leave now.

Dai Yushu pondered in his heart for a moment, then hesitated again.

He remembered Shi Wuwei’s feelings for Yang Yucan.

Although that feeling had just sprouted, not sure if it had a chance to grow up, but this was after all this young man’s first budding love, if his first love died unexpectedly, it must be a huge blow to Shi Wuwei.

Should we suggest that Yang Yucan also follow along and go out to study?

Dai Yushu had actually been thinking about this question.

Yang Yucchan was definitely unwilling. This girl had a very strong sense of responsibility, to her family, to her mother, to her sister, and to her classmates.

Let her abandon her family, sisters, and mother now and go out to study by herself. She definitely couldn’t agree.

Then should she convince Yang Yuyan and Yang Yucan to go out together?

Dai Yushu had thought about it many times.

To get Yang Yuyan to go out, only two people had to be convinced. The first was Ms. Zhu Yanshu who loved her daughter like a treasure, would she be willing to let go and let her two daughters go out to study?

Ms. Zhu Yanshu definitely won’t stop her two daughters from pursuing their studies, but the problem is …… that she will most likely follow them out.

Mother and daughter three all go out, then will they come back?

Things change rapidly, nothing can be guaranteed.

Dai Yushu heart to Ms. Zhu that little tiny feelings, like a candle in the wind, certainly his heart firm, but he is not going to abandon this school, follow Ms. Zhu out together. The career he would dedicate his life to was right here, right in the country.

Therefore, once Ms. Zhu’s mother and daughter made the trip, what he would have to face might be a permanent goodbye.

Then, there was Su Chunjun.

There was a fire in this child’s heart that could burn him out at any time.

Dai Yushu saw very clearly that Su Chunjun was walking a tightrope path.

The only chance of survival in his heart is Yang Yuyan.

Yang Yuyan is not three-headed and six-armed, and can’t save him. But as long as she is alive, as long as she is by Su Chunjun’s side, she has left a way out for him.

If Su Chunjun thinks about her, he will be willing to go on the road of life.

If he sends Yang Yuyan away …… if Yang Yuyan never comes back ……

That is to cut off Su Chunjun’s way of life.
