Chapter 227: 128. Cultural Festival (1)_2

"If this was at Shinjuku Ni-chome, these flyers could be handed out in less than five minutes,"

Mr. Dubian could unapologetically claim that he truly was the Little Prince of flyer distribution, someone who could survive just on distributing flyers.

Before meeting up with Kunii Shuichi and the others, he first went to the playground that had turned into a shopping street to check in with Kiyono Lin, so that she wouldn’t come to help after finishing her flyers and not find him, mistaking his absence for having sneaked away early.

In the very center of the playground stood a large teddy bear. It held up a semicircular banner that said ’Goda Cultural Festival,’ a creation of the Handicraft Department.

Kiyono Lin stood below the doll.

Mr. Dubian saw that she only had a few flyers left in her hand; if he had been any slower, the two might have met on the road.

"Are you done already?" Kiyono Lin asked.

Mr. Dubian did not respond to her.

"I must admit," he said, nodding appreciatively, "this speed of flyer distribution, I recognize you now. Among the girls I’ve faced, no one can match you in distributing flyers; I truly grant you the title of the strongest!"

Kiyono Lin also did not engage with his topic.

"What are you planning to do next?" she asked.

"Planning to go back to the class to call up some comrades, then slip into the Dance Club to watch the girls’ legs."

"You don’t have to be so detailed about it."

"Wait, Kiyono, if you don’t say ’lie,’ some people might really think I’m going to do such a thing, and that would be bad."

"Who?"

Mr. Dubian looked around and indeed saw many people paying attention to them, but he still pointed at the silly bear doll, "It."

Kiyono Lin turned to a passing couple and said, ""From Iwate Prefecture to Tokyo, 400 kilometers," a movie about unrequited love, please be sure to go to the audio-visual classroom to watch."

The couple took the flyer and looked at the poster featuring the handsome and beautiful Jiutiao Meijie and Mr. Dubian, showing an interested expression.

Mr. Dubian: "...Kiyono?"

"The Human Observation Department produced the movie, ’From Iwate Prefecture to Tokyo, 400 kilometers’ which is currently showing in the audio-visual classroom..." Kiyono Lin continued to hand out flyers to another group of people.

Mr. Dubian: "Uh..."

"’From Iwate Prefecture to Tokyo, 400 kilometers,’ go watch."

Mr. Dubian took the last flyer Kiyono Lin handed out in front of his forehead.

"The first time Kiyono distributed flyers with a commanding attitude, I took it."

Kiyono Lin, massaging her temples in frustration, sighed, "Are all people from Iwate Prefecture like this?"

"Pretty much," Mr. Dubian apologized to the innocent Iwate Prefecture.

"Let’s go."

"Huh? Go where?"

"The audio-visual classroom, to see everyone’s reactions," Kiyono Lin checked her watch, "There’s one starting in five minutes."

"Wait, I’ve already made plans with Yuzi at the Dance Club." Actually, he was just asked to check it out while mediating a dispute.

"You’re really planning to go?"

"No."

Kiyono’s gaze turned piercingly fierce, indicating it was a lie.

Earlier, Kiyono hadn’t seen through Mr. Dubian because he wasn’t going to the classroom, then directly to the Dance Club. Instead, he would roam elsewhere in between and then go to the Dance Club to watch, not legs, but dance sticks.

"Then I’m not going to the Dance Club. I’ll go to the Women’s Basketball Department, watch their fancy shot exhibition."

"Wearing summer sports shorts?"

"Thunder Street Dance Department okay then?"

"Mr. Dubian, how well have you researched these clubs that might show some leg?"

"The parade performance of the flag squad!"

"Go if you want."

"No, I won’t go."

"Is that so."

Mr. Dubian did think about whether to check out these clubs initially, but now, he doesn’t care that much anymore.

On the way to the audio-visual classroom, Mr. Dubian sent a message to Jiutiao Meijie.

Telling her he had finished distributing flyers at the school gate and was heading to watch the movie with Kiyono Lin.

"Understood."

When they reached the audio-visual classroom, Jiutiao and her mother were already waiting at the entrance.

While Kiyono Lin greeted Jiutiao’s mother, Mr. Dubian walked over to Jiutiao Meijie’s side and whispered with a low laugh, "Pretending not to care, but actually you care a lot about it."

Jiutiao Meijie narrowed her eyes slightly, giving him a meaningful look.

Had it not been to avoid scaring Mr. Dubian, she might have had someone break his legs and drag him to her side right after receiving the message.

"Don’t worry, whatever happens between me and Kiyono would only ever be friendship," Mr. Dubian assured.

"Friendship?" Jiutiao Meijie scoffed with laughter, unable to contain her emotions.

She placed her hand on his side and twisted forcefully.

"Hisss—"

In pain, Dubian Che quickly placed his hand on Jiutiao Meijie’s school skirt waist and pulled her close, making it difficult for her to exert force.

Jiutiao Meijie had no choice but to withdraw her hand, just about to make a mental note of the incident when she noticed a smug smile forming on Dubian Che’s lips.

She grabbed his school uniform tie and whispered in his ear, "Come to my place tonight."

Dubian Che’s smile froze.

"You two lovebirds better mind the occasion."

Looking over, Jiutiao’s mother teasingly eyed them, while Kiyono Lin glanced at the embracing couple.

"Let’s go inside; it’s about to start." Dubian Che quickly released Jiutiao Meijie and adjusted his tie.

The four entered the audio-visual classroom, which was filled with quite a few people.

As consistent with current cinema social phenomena, most of the audience were girls, some even planning to watch another show afterwards.

"No matter how you look at it, Mr. Dubian is so handsome!"

"If only I had such a childhood sweetheart!"

"Didn’t I hear he hits girls?"

"Well, who lets the student council president bully his girlfriend? Serves him right."

"Exactly, a boyfriend who doesn’t stand up for his girlfriend when she’s bullied doesn’t deserve to exist!"

The four sat in the furthest corner, Jiutiao Meijie crossing her legs and folding her arms, listening to these girls discussing her boyfriend, not getting angry.

As long as Dubian Che didn’t actually make contact, the more the girls adored him, the more satisfied she was.

After listening for a while, Jiutiao’s mother laughed, "Everyone’s here for Dubian."

"Not just for him, I came for Meijie." Dubian Che responded.

Jiutiao’s mother giggled like a young girl, and Jiutiao Meijie smiled satisfactorily.

Kiyono Lin turned her face away, struggling to suppress the urge to tell the truth.

Suddenly, the lights in the audio-visual room went out, and everyone quieted down.

[A Shinkansen from Iwate Prefecture is slowly arriving, stopping at the platform.

"Dubian!" After a slow-motion scene, a voice suddenly called out.

The camera pulled back, revealing a man in his forties yelling into the distance, while a young boy watching the Shinkansen turned around.

"He’s arrived." The handsome, neat young boy, dressed in a neat train conductor’s uniform, looked dashing.

He casually brushed his hair back with one hand and then put on his hat.]

"Ah~~~" Suppresses screams echoed in the audio-visual room.

"Like a soldier, huh!"

"So handsome!"

"My heart is pounding!"

[The boy hurried to catch up with the middle-aged man, helping to push passengers into the crowded train.

After work, in the locker room, the middle-aged man, while changing clothes, asked the boy.

"Dubian, we got paid today, want to grab something to eat?"

"No, I’m planning to buy a camera."

"You have a hobby for photography? That’s nice, I also wanted to be a professional railway photographer when I was young, but..."

The voice gradually trailed off.

When the next scene appeared, it was a black-and-white photo of the boy.]

The 30-minute movie mostly took place in a Japanese-style room.

One year after Dubian Che’s death, on his death anniversary, Mrs. Dubian spoke to Dubian Che’s girlfriend who had come to mourn, telling her about Dubian Che’s childhood.

The childhood sweetheart, who looked just like his girlfriend, slowly emerged.

Everyone finally understood why, even with his girlfriend right beside him, the boy always looked at photos and while practicing the oboe, he always gazed out towards Iwate Prefecture with those clear eyes.

At the end of the movie, the last scene of the boy while he was still alive appeared.

[On a small path in Shengong Outer Garden.

The boy slowly put down the photo of his girlfriend, lifted his face, the sun shining on his handsome, youthful face, and every frame flickering in the lens was breathtaking.

His features were exquisitely defined, his eyes somewhat melancholic and gentle, stunning to the point of astonishment.]

Green leaves danced with the breeze, the boy’s fluttering eyelashes, his slightly pursed sexy lips, and his gaunt but gentle face under the bright sun stunned everyone in front of the screen, leaving them bewildered.
