Is this statement true, or is it false?

If one day God Kiyono wrote her memoirs, you'd probably get the answer from her.

By then, you might also learn many secrets this book didn't reveal.

Dubian Che and Kiyono Lin left the campus, walking from "Shibuya Station" towards "Shi Valley."

They turned off the main road halfway and took a small path, having lunch at a restaurant with seasonal ingredients.

After lunch, Dubian Che proposed a walk, and after a slight hesitation, Kiyono Lin nodded in agreement.

During the walk, Dubian Che bought some water; while he was offering to help open it, he skillfully slipped in the drug using techniques from "Grandmaster Level · Free Combat" and others.

The two continued along the riverbank, walking all the way to "Iida Bridge" before turning back.

As they returned to the slope of Goda, Kiyono Lin began to sweat slightly and couldn't help but unbutton her school blazer.

Dubian Che glanced at her.

The white shirt was tucked into her pleated skirt, cinching the slender and symmetric waist. The afternoon breeze fluttered her black hair and pressed the white shirt against her abdomen, accentuating her exquisitely indescribable waistline.

From Kiyono Lin's body, Dubian Che felt an endless charisma.

"How far did we walk?" At the school gate, Kiyono Lin asked.

"About 5 kilometers, back and forth," Dubian Che estimated, based on his long experience of running in Shengong Outer Garden.

"I can do anything I set my mind to," she declared, tilting her porcelain neck to drain the last drop from the bottle.

'If I weren't kind, your reputation would have been ruined a long time ago.'

With the bottle cap in hand, Kiyono Lin's gaze shifted to Dubian Che, who was watching her: "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing."

"I trust you, that's why I walked with you, drank the water you bought."

"How much do you really know?"

"It depends on what I want to know."

"...Ms. Lin, I'm starting to be afraid of you."

"Afraid of what?" Kiyono Lin's tone was reprimanding but affectionate, "I'm standing right beside you."

"..."

At this rate, even someone as impressive as Dubian Che, who got better with each passing day, would find it hard to resist the charm of God Kiyono.

Looking at Dubian Che's silence, Kiyono Lin smiled slightly.

"It really is effective," she said.

"What's effective?" Dubian Che asked subconsciously.

"I was imitating the way you usually speak."

Do the girls who chat with him have to endure such temptation?

Then why hasn't Ying Lili married him yet?

Oh, their interactions had always been one-sided.

Distracted with these thoughts, Dubian Che snapped out of his previous unease.

He realized a truth once again: when it comes to God Kiyono, one either falls in love at first sight or gets slowly, irresistibly infatuated.

There was no other choice.

Lunch and a walk, no more, no less than two hours.

They returned to the music classroom to continue the auditions.

One by one, it was the oboe's turn.

This year, there were three oboe members, with Horikita Mai ranked second.

When she came in, she had the mouthpiece in her mouth, the oboe tucked under her arm, and both hands clutching the sheet music, staring at it intently.

Sitting opposite them, she placed the music on the stand, her gaze still fixed upon it.

"Look this way," Dubian Che said, prompting Horikita Mai to lift her head finally.

"Please state your grade, name, and the instrument you're responsible for," Kiyono Lin repeated, saying these words for perhaps the umpteenth time today.

"First year, Horikita Mai desu, responsible for the oboe," she said, pausing before adding, "I'm also a follower of senior Dubian."

"Is that so." Kiyono Lin's voice was indifferent, "Dubian Che is very good at the oboe, so Horikita must be quite skilled."

"I'm done for," Horikita Mai lamented, hugging her head, "I've just raised the bar for myself, done for, totally done for."

"Let's start," Kiyono Lin interrupted her monologue.

Horikita Mai quickly got ready with her oboe.

"Play the assigned piece, measure twenty-one, the countermelody with the tenor horn, continue until I say stop," Kiyono Lin instructed.

"Yes!"

Hugely nervous, with a pale face, Horikita Mai closed her eyes and said a brief prayer before enveloping the mouthpiece with her small, crystal-clear lips.

The rich tone of the oboe reflected in the early summer air.

"That's enough."

Horikita Mai put down her oboe and wiped the fine sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.

"Please call in the next person," Kiyono Lin said, head bowed, writing something.

"Yes!" Horikita Mai slowly got up, slowly picked up the music score, and with pleading eyes, looked pitifully at Dubian Che.

Dubian Che stealthily shifted his position to glance at the list in Kiyono Lin's hand and gave an "ok" gesture to Horikita Mai, who couldn't bear to leave and kept looking back.

"Hehehe~" Horikita Mai let out a laugh, like a mischievous ghost, bounding out of the music classroom like a cheerful fawn.

Hearing the laughter, Kiyono Lin looked up, her gaze falling directly on Dubian Che.

Dubian Che turned towards the window and started whistling.

The melody was from Yamashita Takashi's "Silent Night," particularly the line, "The lingering thoughts of you that haven't faded, keep falling into the night."

Outside the window, the shouts of encouragement from the baseball team could be heard.

The auditions ended at three o'clock, a time too early for dinner yet perfect for afternoon tea.

"Shall we go to my place first?" Dubian Che asked, "Review some diaries and then go out to eat?"

"Sure." Kiyono Lin nodded.

They took the train, disembarked at Shinano Town station, crossed the footbridge, and walked to Dubian Che's apartment.

It was a long tar road flanked by tall apricot trees on both sides.

In May, the arching apricot leaves were vibrant green, growing upwards.

Dubian Che was in a buoyant mood, enjoying the lush streetscape.

"R-san," he said, "tell me, if a girl goes to a single guy's apartment on a Saturday, does it imply that she is suggesting that sort of thing?"

Kiyono Lin crossed her arms and slightly turned away, warily eyeing Dubian Che.

"...I was joking."

"I know," Kiyono Lin naturally lowered the hands that were guarding her body.

Dubian Che paused for a moment and marveled, "I didn't think you'd joke about that."

"You know whether or not you want my body," Kiyono Lin said bluntly.

"If I would do that or not, you know better than me!"

"Normally not, but you said it yourself, the place is your apartment, and there's no one else around. What if your long-suppressed unsavory desires take over again?"

"Long-suppressed? So I've been wanting your body for that long and I didn't even know about it; thank you for reminding me!"

"From the day you joined the Human Observation Department, you've been stealing glances at my legs, right?"

"We shouldn't talk about this in public." Dubian Che had to admit it was true; he lowered his voice, "No need to say it out loud, just us knowing is enough."

"I've already written it on the high school entrance employment survey form."

"Huh?"

Reaching the apartment, they took the elevator to the fifth floor.

"Over there are Mr. Xiaoquan, Akiko, and Mr. Miyazaki," Dubian Che said, introducing the rooms as he unlocked the door to 501.

"Is your lover living across?" Kiyono Lin said, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

"Mayi lives upstairs in 602," Dubian Che entered room 502.

Dubian Che, still holding the belief that 'there's nothing to hide from Kiyono Lin,' told her everything.

Kiyono Lin maintained an indifferent smirk, offering no comment.

She had considered using 'the pitiful Jiutiao Mei being deceived' to mock Dubian Che, but then thought against it, as it would deepen his guilt.

Besides, with Jiutiao Mei's personality, it's unlikely she hadn't thoroughly investigated the place before Dubian Che moved in. She probably pretended to trust Dubian Che completely, but when it came time to defeat 'the cutest her,' she'd settle her scores with Dubian Che properly.

Although Kiyono Lin didn't care about Dubian Che's body, when it came to settling scores, she was just like Jiutiao Mei.

Once she had utterly won, it would be time to clean up Dubian Che, thoroughly cleansing his soul and leaving only her color.

Oblivious Dubian Che was now bending over to get slippers for Kiyono Lin.

There was a noise behind them.

Dubian Che looked at Kiyono Lin, who stood with her arms crossed, a cold but beautiful smile on her face, looking as if she was about to enjoy the show at the opening door.

The door opened, and Mayi Asuka, carrying shopping bags, appeared before them.

Without any pause, Mayi Asuka said to Dubian Che, "Che, I bought ingredients, we're having hotpot tonight."

After saying this, she turned her head to Kiyono Lin, "Lin, you join us too."

"Lin?" Kiyono Lin echoed the nickname.

Mayi Asuka nodded slightly, "You can call me Mayi."

"When did you two get so close?" Dubian Che looked back and forth between them.

Mayi Asuka, looking puzzled at Dubian Che, said with an unwavering voice, "Being Che's lovers, I don't want to cause conflict. I want to live well with Che."

"Is that what you say about me behind my back?" Kiyono Lin looked tenderly at Dubian Che.
