Chapter 137: 96. Error-ridden night_3

"Be careful on the road."

Hanaoka Asako quickly walked a few steps toward the station but suddenly stopped.

While Dubian Che was wondering what had happened, her body trembling, she turned back with a crying tone and said, "The, the train, is gone."

"Gone?" Dubian Che reacted for a second before realizing she meant the last train had left.

"Is Hua Tian’s home far from here?"

"Uh-huh." With one hand still holding her schoolbag, Hanaoka Asako used the other to pitifully wipe her tears.

For a "little schoolgirl" who had never experienced such a thing, it was indeed panic-inducing.

"Can we take a cab? I’ll help you call one."

Between sobs, Hanaoka Asako pulled a pink wallet from her bag, "Thir-thirty, I only have thirty yen..."

"That little?!"

"From drinking coffee, ugh—"

"Stop crying! I’ll lend it to you, just pay me back tomorrow!" Dubian Che was truly helpless against a woman’s tears.

"Uh-huh." Hanaoka Asako nodded through her sobs, "Thank you."

Taxis are expensive in the Island Country, and while Dubian Che had some money, it definitely wasn’t enough, so they decided to go to a convenience store to withdraw some.

Although they could probably find a convenience store nearby, to also get home quickly, Dubian Che led Hanaoka Asako toward the convenience store near his own rental place.

The streets at midnight, a row of street lights stretched into the darkness.

In the quiet world, only the sound of tires rolling over the road was heard, and the air carried a bit of chill.

Upon reaching a 711 convenience store, just as Dubian Che was about to go in to withdraw money, someone opened the door.

A girl with long hair cascading down her shoulders, wearing a Goda high school uniform with a hoodie and earphones, and looking like a goddess of the night, walked out.

"Are you two on a date?" Kiyono Lin looked at the two of them.

As Dubian Che was organizing his words, figuring out how to skip over Mayi Asuka’s issue and explain the situation without lying, Kiyono Lin had already pulled out her cellphone connected to the earphones.

"Hua Tian, do you need me to call the police?" Her fingers were already unlocking it!

"Why?!" Dubian Che quickly grabbed her wrist.

Kiyono Lin removed an earphone, giving him a look that said, "Do I really need to ask?"

"..."

"It’s a misunderstanding, Kiyono," Hanaoka Asako hurriedly explained with her tearful voice. "I accidentally missed the last train, and Mr. Dubian is lending me money."

"I see." Kiyono Lin nodded and pressed the phone lock button.

"Do I really look that bad in your eyes?" Dubian Che said, annoyed as he released her hand.

"Not really. But for some reason, seeing Mr. Dubian alone with a girl at night, my first thought was to call the police."

"Isn’t that bad enough? Forget it, I’m going to withdraw the money."

"Hold on." Kiyono Lin stopped Dubian Che who was about to enter the convenience store and said to Hanaoka Asako, "Hua Tian is so cute; it’s too dangerous for her to take a cab alone at night. Stay at my place tonight."

"Yeah, that’s probably for the best." Dubian Che recalled that when he first came to Tokyo, he even saw a cab driver reading an A-rated book.

After all, Hanaoka Asako was a very cute girl with a timid personality, and despite having a strength of 8, she still didn’t inspire confidence.

"Is that okay?" Hanaoka Asako was also afraid of staying alone with an adult male in a confined space.

"No problem, we have spare rooms."

Hearing Kiyono Lin’s indifferent tone, Dubian Che felt envious since his rental only had a living room and a bathroom.

"I’ll go ahead then." Dubian Che’s place was not far from here.

"You come too," Kiyono Lin called after him.

"Huh?" Dubian Che wondered if he heard wrongly.

Hanaoka Asako covered her mouth, incredulously sizing up the two of them.

"Is Dubian Che’s mind filled only with lecherous thoughts? Didn’t you ask to borrow ’The Great Matchmaker’ and ’The Unlucky Girl’ from me?" Kiyono Lin sighed in exasperation.

"Oh, right, that slipped my mind."

"Don Quixote" was almost finished, so Dubian Che was borrowing new books from Kiyono Lin.

"The Great Matchmaker" and "The Unlucky Girl" are also Spanish classics, and the author has won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

"I was going to bring them to school tomorrow, but since we met now, and Hua Tian is also here, you can come back with me and get them."

Dubian Che understood her; after all, with a strength of only 3, carrying a couple of books in the summer would make her sweat.

So, the three of them went to Kiyono Lin’s upscale apartment across from the convenience store.

Entering the living room, Dubian Che who was appraising the minimalistic decor, heard Kiyono Lin scream.

Turning around, he saw her moving something from the sofa—it looked like thigh-high socks and a blue top undergarment.

Ah, Dubian Che remembered that girls indeed had a habit of immediately taking off their bras once home during summer.

So is Kiyono Lin’s upper body now unconstrained?

Dubian Che, fully aware that Kantou Plain wasn’t much of a spectacle, still instinctively glanced away as a pretense of male instinct.

He only saw an unremarkable hoodie and Kiyono Lin’s murderous glance.

"Did you see?"

"No, not at all."

Kiyono Lin pulled her earphone wire taut.

"Wait, wait, wait!"

"What else do you want to say?" Kiyono Lin spoke deliberately.

"This..."

Just then, Dubian Che remembered something that could definitely help him escape the crisis.

"Kiyono, do you still remember the ’Downton Abbey’ you lent me? There is a line in it: ’There can be too much truth in any relationships.’ It means: In relationships, telling too much truth can sometimes lead to extremes..."

"Drop dead!"

Okay, it seems it couldn’t help him escape the crisis.

Actually, Dubian Che knew it couldn’t; he was just in a very good mood now and wanted to tease Kiyono Lin.

Though he didn’t get the book in the end, he felt the trip was well worth it.

Dubian Che ran back to his rental on the way home.
