Chapter 290: 153. School Trip (2)

The next day during lunch break.

"Mr. Dubian, where are you going?"

"I have something to do; you guys go ahead and eat," Dubian Che told Saito Keisuke before leaving the classroom.

He was holding the tenor horn notes he had written out in silence.

It was too risky to hand them to Mayi Asuka alone; taking advantage of the crowded lunch break was the best opportunity.

As for Jiutiao Meijie, saying they were borrowed study notes or music theory notes would suffice, although he’d probably still end up getting "sorted out" anyway.

During lunchtime, the school building was bustling with students coming and going.

By the corridor windows, a boy and a girl chatted facing the courtyard; on the way to the second-year floors, a group of girls sat on the stairs eating sandwiches and drinking milk.

Reaching the third-year floors, the atmosphere was distinctly different from the lower grades.

Even during lunch break, most of them stayed at their seats reading, and some classrooms were even filled with students sleeping on their tables to recharge for the afternoon and evening studies.

Dubian Che approached the door of class 3-2.

In this classroom, he saw many familiar faces from the Wind Instrument Club, and they immediately recognized him.

A senior student closest to the door approached him, wiping her mouth with a tissue, and said in surprise, "Mr. Dubian? What brings you here?"

In the Island Country, a place where the hierarchy between seniors and juniors was so strict it surprised foreigners, a first-year student would absolutely not appear on the third-year corridor unless necessary.

Without waiting for Dubian Che to reply, a voice came from behind her, answering her question.

"Mr. Dubian is here to see me."

Caught off guard by the cold tone in the voice, the senior student jumped, fearing someone was looking to cause trouble.

Once she turned around and saw it was Mayi Asuka, she relaxed.

"Oh, it’s you, Mayi. You two talk."

The senior happily returned to her seat to continue with her lunch, missing the cold glance Mayi Asuka sent after her.

Once the senior sat down, Mayi Asuka turned her gaze to Dubian Che, her eyes softening instantly, "Is there anything you need from me, Che?"

"How did you know I was looking for you?" Dubian Che asked curiously.

Could she have awakened some incredible ability?

"Telepathy," Mayi Asuka said while holding her stomach.

"...Senior, the heart is located higher up."

Mayi Asuka gently shook her head, still clutching her stomach, "She told me. It’s the telepathy between mother and daughter."

Dubian Che didn’t ask who ’she’ was, and he definitely didn’t want to know the meaning of ’mother and daughter.’

"Senior, this is for you." He handed over the notes.

Mayi Asuka took the notes casually, her clear gaze fixed on Dubian Che, and said in a gentle voice, "Do you need to use the restroom? Today it’s black."

"..." Dubian Che pointed at the notes, "Aren’t you going to look at what it is?"

"What?" Mayi Asuka replied almost as if she were merely humoring him.

"After the national competition, I asked a judge who appreciated me for these tenor horn notes; the judge is a professional tenor horn player."

"Jinteng Zhenghe?"

"Yes, that’s him."

Mayi Asuka revealed a faint confusion, muttering to herself, "Or was it Jinteng Zhengwu?"

"...I’m not sure either, but it’s definitely Jinteng," Dubian Che diverted the subject, "This is hand-written by me. Others definitely wouldn’t give me their own, and it wouldn’t be this new."

The clear and intoxicating eyes of Mayi Asuka blinked twice, then she hugged the notes to her chest, her soft cherry-colored lips lightly pressing against them, "Thank you."

"As long as the senior likes it."

Dubian Che was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something, "Oh right, Senior, where do you plan to go for the field trip?"

"We haven’t decided yet."

"I see. Well, if you were to be confessed to, what kind of environment or setting would you hope for? For instance, would you mind if others were watching?"

Mayi Asuka tilted her head in confusion, her black hair sliding onto her shoulder with the motion.

Then she seemed to suddenly understand something, and her expression changed.

Most of her delicate face was hidden behind the notebook, but those clear, enchanting eyes formed beautiful crescents.

Dubian Che had seen her excited, absent-minded, puzzled, and immersed, but he had never seen her this happy before. She looked very pretty.

Wait a minute, now’s not the time for pretty or not pretty, is it?!

"Senior, don’t get me wrong, I don’t have that kind of intention!" he hurriedly explained.

"Okay." Mayi Asuka nodded gently, her face still behind the notebook, but just by looking at her eyes, he could tell she was smiling happily.

This is bad. This is really bad.

Why did he have to run his mouth?

Now, Mayi Asuka was completely ignoring his explanations, and if he told her about Ichiki Aoi, maybe he could just clear up the misunderstanding.

But he would never do that, even if his relationship with Ichiki Aoi was just average.

Dubian Che wasn’t one to reveal others’ secrets.

With a wry smile, he said, "Senior, I really didn’t..."

"I’m looking forward to it from now on."

"No, listen to what I’m saying..."

"I’ll pretend I don’t know, and you can arrange everything to your heart’s content."

"Wait, there’s really..."

"What kind of underwear do you like? I’ll wear it on the day. Oh, and can you tell me which day? Don’t need the specific time."

"...Senior, I have no idea what you’re talking about," Dubian Che said, expressionless.

Mayi Asuka gave him a look of tender indulgence, "Che, whatever you say that day, I’ll say yes."

Any guy who would believe such talk was an idiot.

Dubian Che was sure that if he said, ’Senior, let’s just stop here,’ Mayi Asuka would definitely act as if today’s promise never happened.

"I’m going back to eat."

"Okay."

Mayi Asuka, holding the notes, watched Dubian Che’s back disappear down the stairway, his figure ’dejected from having his surprise discovered.’
