Chapter 408: Chapter 280. Past Events (Goal of 8000 Words Achieved)

Aikawa was a piano instructor at Sacred Heart Girls’ High School, in charge of the sophomore B class that Yuzi Shan Yuan belonged to.

And coincidentally, there was a piano class scheduled for this afternoon.

Beichuan Si had already roughly grasped the situation.

"The current time is 7:30, there’s still some time before the class begins," Beichuan Si sat silently in the teacher’s chair, his brain whirring nonstop.

He had located the office for the second-year high school students through the information on his teacher’s ID card, combined with the flowchart below, and then with difficulty had found Aikawa’s desk among the multitude of office desks.

It must be said that it had not been an easy journey to get there.

And as for the piano, Beichuan Si only knew a little bit.

But that was merely a hobby; teaching a group of aristocratic female students was simply an impossibility.

After all, the students at Sacred Heart Girls’ High School were very high quality.

But now was not the time to worry about these things.

First, he needed to get all of Yuzi Shan Yuan’s information in hand, even if Beichuan Si would be expelled from this Heart World later on. By that time, it wouldn’t matter anymore.

Beichuan Si reached out and turned on the computer on the desk.

Maybe it was divine providence, but among the clutter of items on the computer’s desktop, Beichuan Si immediately saw a folder labeled "Sophomore B Class Student List and Their Detailed Information."

Normally, teachers would back up such files on a USB drive and not retain them in the school’s computer.

But for Beichuan Si at this moment, this information was a lifesaving straw.

To avoid any complications, Beichuan Si hesitated not a moment when he moved the mouse cursor over the folder "Sophomore B Class Student List and Their Detailed Information"—

Beichuan Si zoned out for an instant, but when he lifted his eyes again, everything around him had changed.

A piano stood before him, its black and white keys wiped clean, reflecting a gleaming shine.

At some point, a thick alizarin sunset had enveloped everything.

A chill permeated the air, causing Beichuan Si to subconsciously lift his wrist.

On his watch, the time had jumped to after three o’clock in the afternoon.

It was precisely the time for the music class to begin!

Beichuan Si’s brow furrowed.

If he skipped the class, would Yuzi Shan Yuan, hidden within the Heart World, notice something was amiss?

But even if Beichuan Si took the class, his lack of piano skills would be immediately exposed.

He had to do it this way, at this moment.

Beichuan Si’s face expressionless, he grasped the piano stool with one hand and lifted it high—

Bang!!!!!

An ear-piercing roar came from the music classroom.

...

"Today’s piano class has to be canceled temporarily, the piano in the music room was damaged due to an unknown reason," Beichuan Si calmly announced to the eager students who had come to attend the class.

Among these female students, Beichuan Si spotted Yuzi Shan Yuan with a serene smile on her face.

There was still no feeling of being expelled; this time, it seemed he had managed to bluff his way through.

Beichuan Si thought, his expression unchanged.

"Then Teacher Aikawa, what shall we do next?"

Someone asked curiously from below.

"I’ll take roll call, and when I call your name, come up and share a topic you’re interested in, okay?" Beichuan Si flipped through the roster, his mind spinning fast.

The whole process looked very natural and coherent.

This way, Beichuan Si could ’naturally’ call Yuzi Shan Yuan’s name, and similarly, he could listen to what this young girl had been concerned about recently.

If he was still expelled from this Heart World after this, he would have to adopt an even gentler approach.

Thinking this, Beichuan Si did not hesitate in his heart:

"Yuzi Shan Yuan, would you be willing to share some topics you’ve been interested in recently?"

Yuzi Shan Yuan, being called, paused for a moment but quickly regained her composure and stood up to walk over to Beichuan Si.

"Excuse me, Teacher Aikawa," Yuzi Shan Yuan nodded politely to Beichuan Si and then turned to face her classmates.

Should it be said that she was worthy of being the student representative? There was no sign of stage fright at all.

"Since Teacher Aikawa has asked me to share some interesting experiences I’ve had recently, I am quite willing to tell my classmates about some recent amusing incidents."

Her voice paused slightly, radiating a calm and composed aura: "I wonder if my classmates have heard of a certain ghost story that used to be circulated at Sacred Heart Girls’ High School?"

A ghost story?

Beichuan Si gave Yuzi Shan Yuan another look, and only when he didn’t see any anomaly in her expression did he lower his gaze again.

"This ghost story is called ’The Laughing Clown’..."

Under Yuzi Shan Yuan’s well-modulated narration, the story began.

Mr. A was a clown who often promoted in the Shibuya district, not far from Sacred Heart Girls’ High School, amusing passersby and making them laugh.

No matter how tough the days were, he never gave up hope and always faced others with a smile.

But then one day, Mr. A’s father passed away.

He should have been very sad and cried, but the only thing that showed on his face was a genuine, brimming smile.

Unbeknownst to him, the false smile had taken over his face. He couldn’t show any other expression, so he couldn’t feel sad about his father’s passing; he could only keep smiling, forever hidden in a corner of the street, dancing a one-legged dance, playing the clown.
