Chu Shu brings over a bowl of Bai...ku mixed with Di...wei. “Dazai, time to take your medicine.” A certain baby’s tutor asks him: “My student can’t keep up with his schoolwork and keeps getting zeros. What should I do?” Chu Shu: “There’s nothing a copy of Five Years of Exams, Three Years of Practice can’t fix. If that doesn’t work, get a few more.” Someone sneaks over and asks him to arrange a delivery of China’s Dongfeng Express. Chu Shu: “I can’t arrange that one.

Unless something unexpected happens, the pairing is Dazai. [Next up: [Compilation] I Don’t Want to Work Hard, But I’m Forced to Get a Job.
