Chapter 32: 30. In a flash of inspiration, Kiyono Lin became the key turning point.

Monday afternoon at 3:30, thanks to the Ministry of Education’s generous educational policies, Dubian Che had no choice but to come to the Human Observation Department.

Standing at the door of the activity classroom, he calmed his emotions and pushed the door open.

Where am I... This was his first thought upon seeing the scene behind the door.

The junk that had occupied half the classroom was all gone, replaced by a large bookshelf, but it was filled with manga, light novels, animation DVDs, and game boxes.

A half-wall-sized LCD TV hung on the wall, with various home gaming consoles nearby.

Turning his head, he saw a refrigerator, a sofa, a desktop computer, an exquisite teapot, a cabinet...

The long desk that was against the wall was still there along with the steel pipe chairs for Kiyono Lin and him, which now seemed quite shabby.

Jiutiao Meijie sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, savoring tea as if tasting fine wine after victory, while Kiyono Lin, although still seriously reading a hardcover book as before, gave off an impatient aura that Dubian Che couldn’t help but notice.

Clearly, the two had already had an argument.

Dubian Che imagined the scene at that time:

The two argued incessantly, with Jiutiao Meijie saying, "If I win the midterm exams, I will naturally restore this place to its original state, just see if you have the ability to beat me."

Confident to the point of narcissism, Kiyono Lin naturally took the bait.

It’s good that they had finished arguing, Dubian Che was not very worried about Jiutiao Meijie attacking him; instead, he was annoyed that she treated him as a tool to deal with Kiyono Lin.

He didn’t like Kiyono Lin—and even hated her sharp tongue—but her honesty made him respect her.

She had also lent him books, a good woman indeed.

Dubian Che walked to his seat and said subconsciously, "Why not replace the steel pipe chairs too?"

Steel pipe chairs hurt after sitting for a long time.

"Are you commanding me?" Jiutiao Meijie responded calmly.

"No, no," Dubian Che quickly denied.

He didn’t want to end up under her car at the school gate today, forced to look up a girl’s skirt, then wake up in a park holding a pair of long socks.

Having two pairs of long socks at home was creepy enough, no need to add more.

Jiutiao Meijie put down her exquisite teacup, arms crossed, "You don’t think I wouldn’t do anything to you, do you? Your forceful kiss won’t be easily forgotten."

As Kiyono Lin was reading, she looked up at Dubian Che.

"It was you... you..."

Dubian Che hesitated whether to continue, sensing a shiver down his spine from Jiutiao Meijie’s smile.

He avoided her smile, meeting Kiyono Lin’s disdainful eyes, and suddenly thought: Does Jiutiao Meijie know that Kiyono Lin can see through lies?

He said, "Jiutiao, that day in Ochazuke, I really wanted to save you, thinking some thugs were giving you trouble."

"Is that so?" Jiutiao Meijie remained noncommittal.

"You’ve known Kiyono for a long time, you should know she can see through lies, you can ask her if you don’t believe me."

"Why should I vouch for you?" Kiyono Lin tilted her head slightly, puzzled.

Is this the time to act cute? This woman is definitely seeking revenge for the last provocation—Dubian Che had this premonition!

"Kiyono, this concerns my reputation, please!"

Kiyono Lin thought for a moment: "Since you’re also a member of the Human Observation Department, carrying such a reputation could affect me too. I testify: he didn’t lie just now."

Dubian Che looked expectantly at Jiutiao Meijie, hoping she would believe...

"Does that matter?" Jiutiao Meijie said indifferently, "Go get me the best-looking manga you think."

Unclear about what she really thought, Dubian Che walked to the bookshelf and picked up "Death Note."

"This is considered a masterpiece in my eyes, and also secured the second place in ’This Manga is Great.’"

Jiutiao Meijie took it, flipping through it as she commanded, "Dessert."

Dubian Che then went to the fridge filled with juices and desserts, picking out some cherry-themed treats.

After Jiutiao Meijie read two pages, she noticed Dubian Che still standing by, chuckling, "What, you want more?"

She shifted her crossed legs up and down.

Dubian Che couldn’t help but glance at the fresh long socks, quickly diverting his eyes—looking once was instinct, not looking again demonstrated the strength of his will, Dubian Che.

"No, I have more to say."

"You don’t like it?" Jiutiao Meijie’s smile turned menacing.

"Like it, of course, I like it!"

When Jiutiao Meijie’s smile gradually turned satisfied, Kiyono Lin’s scoff suddenly emerged.

"You dare lie to me."

The smile quickly twisted into cruelty, but that didn’t scare Dubian Che; rather, he felt relieved.

Her reaction, didn’t it exactly indicate that she believed Kiyono Lin could see through lies?

’Exchange three pieces of "Healing Medicine"’

"Jiutiao, that medicine was something I came upon by chance; I only have three pieces left, and I don’t have the formula! Besides me, including my parents, no one knows about this!" Dubian Che bowed deeply as he spoke.

Can it... succeed?

If successful, the source of his daily torment could end here. Later, he would have enough time to make himself extraordinary and then seek revenge on the Jiutiao family.

After a moment of silence, Jiutiao Meijie closed "Death Note," asking Kiyono Lin, "Is what he said true?"

"Why should I tell you?" Kiyono Lin looked at the hardcover book in her hands.

Jiutiao Meijie’s gaze returned to Dubian Che, her expression growing fierce.

"Kiyono, I’ll agree to any condition!" Dubian Che was almost in tears.

"Well then, I’ll take you up on that," Kiyono Lin pondered with her index finger on her chin. "Summer is coming, and I need someone to buy drinks."

"Whatever drink you want, I will run and buy it for you!"

"What about the money?"

"I’m in!"

Kiyono Lin flashed a satisfied smile, "Mr. Dubian is a liar who lies all the time, but I can prove that what he just said was true."

Dubian Che nodded gratefully, then stared unblinkingly at Jiutiao Meijie, waiting for her reaction.

Jiutiao Meijie opened the "Death Note" manga again, flipped through five pages, and then closed it.

"Boring."

"Huh?"

"The manga you picked is boring."

"Well, Jiutiao, I was talking about the medicine."

"I’m talking to you about the manga." Jiutiao Meijie stared at Dubian Che, speaking calmly.

Dubian Che knew how to read the room.

"Maybe the male-oriented ones aren’t to your liking, I’ll pick again for you. Here’s ’Honey and Clover,’ which has won ’This Manga is Great’ for females twice, and ’I Want to Tell You,’ which is also very good."

Dubian Che picked out the two manga, went over to the sofa, but Jiutiao Meijie ignored him.

"Come with me." She stood up, swayed her hips, and walked out of the activity room with an air of superiority.

Dubian Che put down the manga and followed her.

"When you come back, remember to bring me a bottle of lemon tea," Kiyono Lin ordered without even looking up.

"If I can come back alive."

"Ah, is it that serious? I told you not to lie earlier."

"If this ends safely, I will never lie again!"

"That statement is a lie. But for the sake of my lemon tea, do your best."

Dubian Che followed Jiutiao Meijie to an empty gym equipment room.

Shizuru, dressed in a black suit, appeared beside her unexpectedly.

"You dare to play me?"

As soon as Jiutiao Meijie finished speaking, Shizuru punched Dubian Che in the stomach.

"Ouch—" Dubian Che clutched his stomach.

"Because of this, I killed Miyano, that quite usable but overstepping fellow."

Shizuru grabbed Dubian Che by the school tie, lifted him, and punched him in the stomach again.

Shizuru let go, and Dubian Che lay on the ground in pain.

"I even made you my boyfriend, gave you my worn thigh-high socks, and had you as my footstool."

Shizuru punched him again, and this time tears finally streamed down Dubian Che’s face.

[Jiutiao Meijie Sign-in Stopped]

"You can do whatever you want with me, just don’t hurt my parents; they really don’t know anything. I genuinely like you and don’t want to lie to you anymore."

He could instantly exchange 100,000 points for the Grandmaster Level "Free Combat," to avoid pain and save face.

But in order not to involve his parents back home, what did youthful pride and face matter? He could endure some suffering himself.

’Just do what you’re supposed to do.’ He kept repeating this to himself in his mind to ease the pain.

"Do you like me?" Jiutiao Meijie sneered, "Where’s the rest of the medicine?"

"It’s here." Dubian Che struggled to take three pills out of his pocket, which Shizuru immediately snatched away.

Jiutiao Meijie glanced at them, then focused her gaze back on Dubian Che.

"So, I can do whatever I want with you?"

"As long as you don’t hurt my parents."

"Not bad; you’ve got quite the spirit," Jiutiao Meijie said with a smirk, her eyes cold like a viper’s. "I’ve got a good idea, how about I sink you in Tokyo Bay?"

"This... actually, I have been swimming recently, fifty meters in the pool, ten laps a day. I suggest another way, like throwing me in the mountains without letting me bring anything..."

"Do you want to die?" Jiutiao Meijie interrupted him with an icy voice.

"Sorry! If possible, I’d like to keep living, I don’t want to go to Tokyo Bay!" Dubian Che quickly begged for mercy.

"Keep living? You touched my body and lied to me, why should you live?"

"I’m very smart! I can serve the Jiutiao Family!"

"Smart?" Jiutiao Meijie paused, then burst into laughter.

"This midterm, I guarantee I’ll take first place! I also assure you I’ll get into Tokyo University’s Science Category Three, and whether the Jiutiao Family wants me in politics or business, I’ll do it!"

Tokyo University’s Science Category Three, considered to be at a level where only aliens could get admitted, even other Tokyo University students look up to it.

But this was laughable to Jiutiao Meijie.

What about Tokyo University students? Even the Ginza Club has several hostesses from Tokyo University.

She was more intrigued by something earlier.

"You said you can take first place in the midterms? You think you’re smarter than me?" Jiutiao Meijie squinted, her eyes twinkling like stars.

"This... good grades don’t necessarily mean smarter. Miss Jiutiao, you might not know, but I have always been third in school, and that’s with self-studying in middle school. After two months of schooling here, I believe I have a chance at first place."

"Self-study? Even if you’re good at exams and take first place, what of it?" Jiutiao Meijie said indifferently, "There’s a ’national first place’ every year, not each of them is qualified to serve me, let alone the first place from Goda High School."

"..."

"No other reasons? Then let’s go to Tokyo Bay."

A few men in black quietly approached.

"Actually, actually... I can also be a bodyguard," Dubian Che said from the ground, lying there like a shrimp.

Jiutiao Meijie thought she hadn’t heard clearly, "What did you say?"
