Chapter 404: 193. Heading Toward the Christmas at the End of the Term (2)_2

In the end, she asked Dubian Che, "Is the cherry cake good?"

"The cake is no different from the usual ones, I haven’t eaten the cherry yet."

Kiyono Lin stretched out her fair, slender hand, grabbed the cherry stem on the cake and put the cherry in her mouth.

"The sweetness is average." After giving her review, she told the waiter, "Free refills on the drinks, thank you."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After watching the waiter leave, Kiyono Lin turned her gaze to Dubian Che, who was staring at her.

"Hmm?" she tilted her head slightly in confusion.

Her tone was strict when she spoke to anyone, and it was the same when she spoke to Dubian Che.

But if you listened carefully, compared to speaking with others, there was a slight difference in warmth—slightly warmer at times, mostly colder.

"What ’hmm?’ You ate my cherry! I was saving it for last as a reward after a hard study session."

"Liar." After making her judgment, Kiyono Lin confidently said, "I recently learned that eating and drinking from the same dish or bottle as a guy unintentionally can make him flustered and daydream."

"I didn’t even touch the cherry; how is that eating from the same dish? At least use my fork to take a bite of the cake," Dubian Che handed over his perfectly clean fork.

Under the chandelier overhead, the fork shone brightly.

Kiyono Lin leaned back slightly, a look of disgust on her face: "Let’s skip the indirect kissing."

"How can you be flustered or daydream without indirect kissing?" Dubian Che cut a small piece of cake with his knife and fork, "Here, for you."

Kiyono Lin dodged further away, her hands protectively in front of her chest:

"Mr. Dubian, it’s just a cherry, is it necessary to go this far? If you want to eat them, I can let you eat your fill every day."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course." Kiyono Lin slightly frowned as if saying ’such a small matter is not worth confirming,’ "But I didn’t expect you to like cherries so much, even denying me any."

"I like cherries the most."

"Lies." After finishing, Kiyono Lin suddenly rested her chin on her hand and slowly began to smile.

Her expression was no longer fearful but rather superior.

Mockingly she said, "Could it be, just now, it wasn’t about the cherry but an excuse to flirt with me?"

"That’s enough, let’s start studying."

"You’re quite cute, Mr. Dubian," said Kiyono Lin Shirogane Kaguya, smiling.

Dubian Che turned a deaf ear and picked up his pen to earnestly solve math problems.

Math is so beautiful; there’s nothing in this world more beautiful than math!

’System, open your eyes and see what the player looks like being bullied by an NPC! Do something!’

[You have a new email]

...Hmm?

Dubian Che picked up his iced black tea and stirred the ice cubes with a straw. The ice cubes clinked against the glass, making a crisp sound.

Then, Ichiki Aoi said, "Kiyono Lin and Mr. Dubian seem to have a really good relationship."

Despite sitting at the same table, the three of them could only watch the two of them banter back and forth; outsiders couldn’t get a word in, almost like watching a couple perform in a comedic dialogue—where the husband is cheeky, and the wife manages him just right.

"If we two must choose between good and bad, then it’s good," Kiyono Lin said as she tucked her hair behind her ear.

Ichiki Aoi had never seen such a textbook example of tsundere.

But so cute! Super cute! Incredibly super cute! Just adorable!

No wonder Mr. Dubian, despite having a beauty like Jiutiao as a girlfriend, is secretly dating Kiyono Lin; it’s because she’s too adorable!

Ichiki Aoi thought, Dubian Che becoming a playboy is understandable.

She wouldn’t be able to resist either.

Dubian Che didn’t notice Ichiki Aoi’s expression; otherwise, if he became Prime Minister in the future, he would surely appoint her as the Cabinet Chief.

He pretended to ponder a math problem and opened the system panel.

The scene seemed familiar; the system was activated during a math class.

[Temporary event: Game time December 21st, 4:12 PM, Christmas in Tokyo, decorated dreamily with lights coming on and streets filled with romance.]

[Event content: On Christmas Eve, kiss your girlfriend Jiutiao Meijie, friend Kiyono Lin, lover Mayi Asuka, or teacher Xiaoquan Aonai under a local landmark (Skytree Tower or Tokyo Tower)]

[Event time: Before the morning of December 25th]

[Event reward: One Master-level skill authorization in January]

[Special reward 1: Player kissing Jiutiao Meijie or Mayi Asuka receives a New Year’s gift package]

[Special reward 2: Player kissing Jiutiao Meijie or Xiaoquan Aonai receives a quality＋1 New Year’s gift package]

[Special reward 3: Player kissing Jiutiao Meijie or Kiyono Lin receives a quality＋3 New Year’s gift package]

[Special Reward 4: Player kisses four people, Quality +4 New Year Gift Package]

[Notice: Special Reward triggers only once, settled on December 25th at midnight]

He could understand kissing Kiyono Lin and Mayi Asuka, but what did this have to do with Mr. Xiaoquan?

System, I wanted you to be useful, not to mess up!

However, this task could be called the most conscientious in history, as the basic event rewards were almost guaranteed — he just had to kiss Jiutiao Meijie under the Tokyo Tower or the Skytree Tower on the evening of the 24th.

Special Reward 1, kissing Jiutiao Meji and Mayi Asuka, might also be worth trying.

As for the other three, Dubian Che chose to give up.

Not to mention the teacher Xiaoquan Aonai, he personally wasn’t willing to kiss Kiyono Lin just for a system task and gain some reward.

The waiter brought over Ichiki Aoi’s honey cake, and the five of them focused on studying.

They studied until six o’clock when they planned to take a break, have dinner, and then continue working hard.

While discussing what to eat, someone pushed open the door of the family restaurant.

From where Dubian Che and his friends were sitting, you could see the door as soon as you entered.

That was also the reason why "Dubian Che and his friends could quickly grab a seat as soon as a couple stood up; and Ichiki Aoi easily found them."

Clip-clop, clip-clop.

With these rhythmic footsteps, the atmosphere in the family restaurant changed, as if turning from a bustling metropolitan city into a green forest filled with crisp bird sounds.

Hearing this sound, Dubian Che subconsciously thought: This customer is in a good mood.

While thinking this, Ichiki Aoi, who sat opposite him, suddenly stood up and waved towards the door:

"Mayi Senpai!"

Without changing his expression, Dubian Che, along with the other two boys, turned their heads to look at the new arrival.

Tall and clear-faced, Mayi Asuka, wearing a navy blue trench coat and carrying a backpack, walked expressionlessly towards them.

Her footsteps click-clacked as she stopped by their table.

"Good evening, Mayi Senpai!" Ichiki Aoi cheerfully stood up.

"...Good evening," replied Mayi Asuka indifferently.

"Mayi Senpai, are you here for dinner as well? Are you alone? Do you want to join us?"

The scene before him, Ichiki Aoi’s reaction, made Dubian Che feel a strange sense of déjà vu.

"...Okay."

After agreeing, Mayi Asuka’s emotionless gaze turned towards Kiyono Lin.

Kiyono Lin stood up, making way in the aisle.

Ichiki Aoi hurriedly cleared the sofa of backpacks and garments.

Mayi Asuka stood still, continuing to watch Kiyono Lin, and said in her calm yet pleasant voice:

"...I prefer to sit outside."

"Whether it’s outside or not, I don’t mind, but I don’t like sitting facing men," remarked Kiyono Lin.

"Uh..." Dubian Che pointed at himself.

"I know you’re a person, Mr. Dubian," Kiyono Lin stated, crossing her arms in a stance that clearly indicated she wouldn’t sit in the middle.

There are many kinds of people, please be specific, men — Dubian Che left these words unsaid.

Mayi Asuka also stood unmoving.

"..." The scene remained frozen.

Despite the liveliness inside the restaurant, this spot was as quiet as the eye of a typhoon.

The waiter, who was about to take their order, didn’t dare approach immediately, thinking Mayi Asuka was here to catch a cheater.

’In moments like this, only the brave and responsible can step forward.’

Also seated by the aisle, Dubian Che stood up:

"Mayi Senpai, please have a seat."

Mayi Asuka looked at him for three seconds, nodded her head, and prepared to sit.

"Wait a minute!" Ichiki Aoi picked up his backpack and coat, "Kunimi, can we swap seats?"

"Eh? Oh, sure."

Anyway, after some thoughtful rearrangement, the seating was as follows:

Facing away from the restaurant door: aisle, Mayi Asuka (joyous), Ichiki Aoi (excited), Saito Keisuke (crouched in the corner), window

Facing the restaurant door: aisle, Kiyono Lin (neutral), Dubian Che (wanted to go back), Kunii Shuichi (profited), window
