Chapter 295: 155. School Trip (4)

"...It went something like that."

"All a bunch of muddled nonsense."

"Never mind if it’s muddled, do you agree?"

"Do I need to give my approval?" Jiutiao Meijie said with a grin.

"Of course, you’re my girlfriend now, and will be my wife in the future."

In the villa located in Chiyoda, the round bath filled with hot spring water gurgled with bubbles, and the steam filled the bathroom.

Soaking in the bath, Jiutiao Meijie let out a cold laugh, her bare right leg emerging from the water, droplets running down her smooth, delicate skin.

She propped her toe against Dubian Che’s right cheek, "First, explain to me why you went to see that woman named Mayi Asuka."

"Music theory notes." Dubian Che’s voice was slightly distorted due to his cheek being pressed, "If there really was something between us, why would I go see her during lunch break?"

"Stop messing around with me. It’s exactly because there’s something going on between you two that you intentionally went during lunch break."

"You always overthink things, Meiji."

Jiutiao Meijie squinted at him for a while and then said with a smile, "Fine, I believe you."

"Rest assured, go ahead and trust me, I won’t let you down."

Jiutiao Meijie humphed disdainfully and languidly said, "That remains to be seen, if there’s nothing between you and Mayi Asuka, what about Kiyono?"

"I’m just friends with her, why bring her up? Enough of this, let’s do something more proper."

Dubian Che pulled her leg into his arms and then swam along her slender form from the other side of the bath to her.

The steam was rising, making it hard to differentiate who was who.

At first, the slim figure resisted for a moment, then the two entangled with each other.

...

On October 31, Dubian Che finally got kicked out by an idle Jiutiao Meiji, who lazed in the villa until noon and had accomplished nothing.

Wandering aimlessly on the street for half an hour, Dubian Che decided to go read at Shinbashi.

It was All Hallow’s Eve and Saturday, with many bookstores closed.

After visiting three bookstores, Dubian Che ended up with a French original copy of "The Little Prince" in his hand.

He found a café and sat down at a spot bathed in sunlight to read attentively.

"The Little Prince" is widely acclaimed, and Dubian Che had read the Chinese version and the Island language version. Now, he finally set out to read the French original.

He had no understanding of French, but Spanish and French are cognates, both part of the Indo-European language family with strong ties to Latin.

Knowing some vocabulary, and comparing it with the Chinese and Island language versions he remembered, he was able to get through the unfamiliar French edition. He wasn’t sure if it was correct, but it was definitely effective in killing time.

By four o’clock, the sky was aglow with a reddish hue, the glass of the café reflecting the colors of dusk.

Struggling with "The Little Prince" and its crude French vocabulary, Xiaoquan Aonai’s call came just as he’d gotten it memorized.

"Dubian, where are you?"

"Reading at Shinbashi."

"Specifically where?"

"The second floor by the windowside of Sansendo Bookstore."

"Wait for me, don’t go anywhere!"

"Wait for you? What’s the matter, Mr. Xiaoquan?"

Right after asking, he heard the beep of the phone disconnecting on the other end.

Dubian Che confusedly ordered a strawberry waffle, and while eating, he waited.

Xiaoquan Aonai arrived quickly, accompanied by Akiko and Miyazaki Mieko.

"Mr. Xiaoquan, what did you need me for?"

"Let’s not worry about that first," Akiko said, "Is this waffle good?"

"The waffle’s good, but the strawberries are a bit sour."

"Then I’ll have one, Aonai, Miyuki, you want anything?"

Miyazaki Miyuki picked up the menu, humming and browsing, then pointed to a milk coffee in a tall glass, "This one. Aonai, what about you?"

"I’ll keep looking," Xiaoquan Aonai flipped through the menu.

Dubian Che: "..."

Once all three had ordered, Dubian Che poured himself another cup.

"What did you need me for, Mr. Xiaoquan?" he asked again.

"Didn’t I promise to treat you to a meal if I won the gold medal in the national competition?" Xiaoquan Aonai sliced a small piece off her cake with a knife and fork, eating it without smudging her lipstick.

"Ah, that’s right." Dubian Che also remembered.

"That’s not the real reason," Akiko chewed on her strawberry, "She’s worried you’ll sneak off to Shibuya tonight, get picked up by some oddly dressed older sister, and taken to a love hotel, and then she thought of inviting you for a meal."

"Akiko!"

"Young man, you have a thing for strangely dressed girls, don’t you?" Miyazaki followed suit, sipping her coffee seductively like a saloon girl.

"How could I? Who’s spreading rumors?"

"When I wear my white coat, you take extra glances at me, but not today."

"Is that so?" Akiko’s eyes sparkled, she asked with keen interest.

Xiaoquan Aonai was also staring at Dubian Che.

"My goal for higher education is the medical department, and my dream is to become a doctor."

"I see."

"Doctors earn more, after all." Dubian Che sipped his coffee, "Let’s forget about the meal. With you teachers here, I, as a student, might make you feel uncomfortable. I’ll go home like a good boy in a bit."

"It’s not cost-effective for the three of us to feel uncomfortable just for you." Akiko said, "So, why don’t we just invite your girlfriend along? For the two of you, we three can bear being uncomfortable."

"..."

"Not just your girlfriend," Miyazaki Mieko watched the drama unfold with great interest, "Also invite the one who put a band-aid on you in the medical room."

"Putting a band-aid?" Xiaoquan Aonai’s surprised gaze also turned to Dubian Che.
