"Of course, by the second year of high school we had already started reviewing, and all the classes that should have been taken were long over."
"No wonder I can't keep up, but what do I do if other teachers call on me? I have no idea how to answer."
"You don't have to worry too much about answering questions in class," Xiaoquan Aonai consoled, "No teacher will deliberately call on Dubian to answer."
"Why not?" Xiaoquan Aonai asked.
"Dubian has good grades and is very self-disciplined. No matter what class he is in or how basic the knowledge the teacher is presenting, he listens attentively, and everyone is reassured about him."
"Hard to believe that guy is actually a good student," Xiaoquan Aonai said unwillingly.
"Do you have a prejudice against him?"
"Don't you?!"
"Not at all." Xiaoquan Aonai was puzzled by Xiaoquan Aonai's attitude, "Dubian is a good kid."
"A good kid? While having a girlfriend, he's also involved with a senior named Mayi Asuka. Does that constitute as a good kid? Or is that just how people from Tokyo are?"
"Well, as for that matter, it's not..." At this point, Xiaoquan Aonai suddenly realized that she had unconsciously grown accustomed to it.
"What's wrong? You stopped mid-sentence?" Xiaoquan Aonai looked over with confusion.
"Actually, Kiyono herself is also Dubian's lover."
"Big Sister?!"
Xiaoquan Aonai couldn't believe that the lofty, untouchable Kiyono Lin, such an unapproachable beauty, would actually be someone's lover?
Xiaoquan Aonai pursed her lips and nodded affirmatively:
"Last year during the cram school holiday, he even secretly went to the girls' dormitory to meet with Kiyono. Oh, and Mayi happened to be staying in a room there as well."
"Could it have been that he was going to see Mayi Asuka?"
"But Kiyono herself told me that she took the initiative to seduce Dubian with her legs."
"Big Sister..." Xiaoquan Aonai buried her face in her hands, her admiration and yearning for Kiyono Lin came crashing down.
The bell for class rang out, and the sound of instruments died down intermittently.
"I'm going back to class now," Xiaoquan Aonai said, leaning against the wall and walking back to her sophomore class four in a state of lost faith.
During the afternoon classes, she couldn't help but turn around and look at Kiyono Lin.
The glossy and splendid long hair, the straight and upright back, the clear and extraordinarily beautiful face, the cool and resolute eyes; such a person... such a person...
I can't believe in Tokyo anymore!
Used to being stared at, Kiyono Lin usually paid no mind, but as it was Dubian Che's body, she looked back.
Noticing Xiaoquan Aonai's lifeless gaze, she frowned slightly.
The thought of a girl using Dubian Che's body made her uncomfortable, even if... she seemed to have no place to feel uncomfortable.
As for why Xiaoquan Aonai had lost her spirit, she couldn't care less.
3:30, the seventh lesson ended.
Xiaoquan Aonai dragged her feet, following behind Kiyono Lin as they made their way to the music classroom.
While ascending the stairs, Kiyono Lin turned around and said to Xiaoquan Aonai at the foot of the steps:
"The way you walk like that, not just Jiutiao Meijie, but everyone in this school will realize you are not Dubian Che."
"Sorry," Xiaoquan Aonai said, straightening her back and looking up at Kiyono Lin on the stairs before opening her mouth again.
Kiyono Lin, noticing her motion to speak, said:
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"Well..." Xiaoquan Aonai scratched the back of her neck.
"Get rid of that habit too," Kiyono Lin said bluntly, "Dubian Che doesn't have any habitual movements, except when he's alone with me, he likes to deliberately look at my legs with lecherous eyes."
Having said that, she continued, "What did you want to say?"
"Never mind."
Did she even need to ask?
Alone! Lecherous! Legs!
And Kiyono Lin's worried and afraid expression on the aerial corridor the day before yesterday, it said everything!
Xiaoquan Aonai had a face that seemed sure something was up, but Kiyono Lin didn't press further, turning back and continuing towards the third floor.
She was uninterested in other people's affairs.
The Wind Instrument Club's recruitment lasted a week, and today there were still many people coming to observe.
"Minister! Dubian!" the doll-like girl Horikita Mai came running over.
Xiaoquan Aonai greeted her with a smile, "Good afternoon, little Mai."
"..."
The atmosphere in the Wind Instrument Club at the time... well, afterwards Xiaoquan Aonai was scolded by Kiyono Lin with very sharp language for a long, long time.
After the commotion caused by the smile subsided, Minister Ayane Kumi came over.
"Kiyono," she reported, "we've already recruited someone for the tenor saxophone, and he entered Goda through the Wind Instrument Club's recommendation and had previously won the Kantou competition 'waste gold.'"
Xiaoquan Aonai asked Kiyono Lin quietly, "'Waste gold' is what?"
"There are gold, silver, and bronze in the competition. Winning gold but not qualifying for the competition is called 'waste gold.'"
"Why wouldn't they qualify if they won gold?"
"Schools that can win gold make up thirty percent of the total, but only three can advance," Kiyono Lin explained simply.
"Oh," Xiaoquan Aonai nodded, apparently getting it.
Kiyono Lin looked at Ayane Kumi with a strange gaze, "What about the tuba and the tenor horn?"
Ayane Kumi withdrew her gaze from "Dubian Che" and replied:
"These two instruments are relatively unpopular, there are already few people who play them, combined with the challenging entrance exams at Goda, we haven't recruited any new students with experience yet."
"If we can't recruit experienced newcomers, we'll have to select a few people from the sections with more members to learn."
While the two talked, Xiaoquan Aonai carefully surveyed the music classroom.
