Dating sim loading: My girlfriend is a cunning young lady Chapter 294 - 154. School Trip (3)3

But if I don’t help, this friend is pleading with .

And he’s a good friend who’s planning to confess to a girl.

"Kunii, I’ve misunderstood you. Our friendship can only last until freshman year."

Might as well spill the beans about Ichiki Kui liking girls.

But I really can’t do that; it’s soone else’s privacy.

It’s not what a Tokyo hottie should do—to disclose soone’s privacy for one’s own sake.

Ichiki Kui himself probably doesn’t want more people to know, especially the guys, right? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have lied to the class, claiming he was confessing to so guy in Mayi Asuka’s class.

If Kunii Shuichi could keep a secret, it would be okay to tell him, but he’s close with the seniors in the baseball team, and they always talk about love during breaks. It could go like this:

"Kunii, weren’t you going to confess to Ichiki?"

"Drop it, senior."

"What happened? You chickened out? Or got rejected?"

"I got rejected, sort of."

"Why? What was the reason?"

"There’s no good reason; rejection is rejection."

"Co on, what’s between us two? Tell your senior, I won’t tell anyone!"

"...Alright, but you absolutely can’t tell anyone."

"Relax!"

It would probably go just like that. Then the senior would spill it to the gossip-y female manager, who’d tell the female manager of the soccer team, who would tell everyone in the soccer team...

Eventually, the whole school would know about Ichiki Kui liking girls.

Dubian Che doesn’t care if the whole school knows, but he can’t let the secret leak from him.

"Dubian, please!" Kunii Shuichi bowed to the hesitant Dubian Che.

"Dubian, just help Kunii." Saito Huijie persuaded.

"Fine," Dubian Che said helplessly, "but about communicating with the girl, I have to report it to my girl, K-san. If she disagrees..."

"Dubian! Please! This is my first ti pursuing a girl!"

"That’s right, it’s just talking to a classmate about where you want to go. Jiutiao will understand for sure!"

Yeah right, as if she would understand.

Seeing Kunii Shuichi’s pitiful look, even knowing he was overacting, Dubian Che still nodded and said, "Alright, alright, for the sake of your love, I’ll take a trip to hell."

"Great! Then I’m counting on you, Dubian!" Kunii Shuichi waved his fist excitedly, "Also, there’s another thing I need to ask Kiyono and you, Dubian."

"Spill it, all of it," Dubian Che was beyond caring at this point.

"You guys are so clever and popular, you must have received a lot of love letters. That’s why I want you to help craft a confession line."

"Just say ’I like you,’ isn’t that enough?" Dubian Che wondered.

"No, no, when you confessed to Jiutiao, what you said was so good! Think carefully for ."

"Where am I going to find the ti to think about this?"

"That’s true, it’s not urgent, there are still three days left. Anyway, I’m counting on you two. Saito, let’s go; we need to find out where Class Three will go!"

"Don’t worry, the computer club has two people from Class Three. We’ll just go find them!"

"The baseball club has them, too! If all else fails, we’ll ask other clubs! Even if we have to kneel, we’ll find out today!"

"I’ll kneel with you!"

"Brothers!"

Their retreating figures, arm in arm, their grand declarations, they looked like middle-aged brothers ready to dig up ancient tombs, dreaming of striking it rich.

After they left, Kiyono Lin chuckled and said, "I thought you were going to tell them about Ichiki liking girls."

"Am I that unprincipled?" Dubian Che took a sip of tea and accidentally swallowed a tea leaf.

"That’s one of the few good qualities you have," Kiyono Lin rare conceded with admiration.

"The biggest quality I have is the countless qualities I possess."

Kiyono Lin was noncommittal: "Do you have any plans regarding their confessions?"

"With Ichiki’s side, it’s mainly about figuring out the right place for the confession and creating so alone ti. And not letting others know about her confessing to Mayi... Asuka."

"You don’t have to change your form of address; I had vaguely guessed there was a close relationship between you two," Kiyono Lin whispered gently to her teacup.

"...I always feel you’re kind of scary."

"I’m not scary at all." Kiyono Lin shot an icy glance at Dubian Che, "What about Kunimi? You’re his good friend; what are his strong points?"

"Are strong points really useful? Ichiki likes girls. As for nas, the only ones I truly wish to call by na are iji and you, Kiyono."

"So what’s so great about that?"

"No, I just felt like saying it."

"Vice Minister, we’re having a eting here, less chit-chat."

"Of course, Minister." Dubian Che paused, "To avoid wasting ti and misunderstandings, I’d like to ask a question."

"Go ahead."

"Is this eting about discussing Asuka’s nickna, or about Ichiki Aoi and Kunii Shuichi?"

"What do you think?"

"I really don’t know."

"Talk about Kunii Shuichi’s strong points." Kiyono Lin poured herself more hot tea.

Dubian Che passed the cup, which was almost empty as he had accidentally drunk so tea leaves earlier.

Kiyono Lin didn’t intend to pour for him; she handed him the pot instead.

"Alright." Dubian Che poured himself a cup, "Kunimi’s strong points..."

During the rest of the club’s activity ti, the two discussed so strategies.

These included: how to adapt to different situations to let Ichiki Aoi notice Kunii Shuichi’s strengths; the timing and wording of Kunii Shuichi’s confession, and so on.

When the sky grew dim and it was ti to leave school, the two locked the classroom door and left the building.

Across the playground, crows grouped together, their steps steady, already assuming the deanor of masters of Goda.

"It’s getting colder." The cold night breeze slipped into Dubian Che’s uniform collar.

Kiyono Lin nodded, carefully wrapping her scarf.

Her small, snow-white face, nestled in the stylish scarf, was simply too cute.

"Kiyono, you look so cute."

"You’ve said that too many tis."

"Have I said it so often that it’s lost its impact?"

"Mr. Dubian, you’re very handso."

"Hmm—" Dubian Che mulled over those words, "I’ve heard a lot of people say I’m handso, but coming from the ever-honest Kiyono, it still makes happy... No good, it can’t just be who’s happy, I need to find a way to make you happy too."

Kiyono Lin didn’t entertain such trivial conversation.

Down the slope to Shibuya Station, red and yellow leaves carpeted the entire road, the colorfully vibrant walkway was like a laid-out carpet.

"Yuzao Haoi looks cute wearing a scarf, Hanaoka Asako looks cute wearing a scarf, Komatsu Misaki looks cute wearing a scarf, Sato Reiko looks cute wearing a scarf..."

Dubian Che listed a string of nas from the Wind Instrunt Club girls.

"Lies, not one of those statents is true. What exactly do you want to say?" Kiyono Lin frowned.

Dubian Che hadn’t finished, he added one last phrase: "Kiyono Lin looks the cutest in a scarf."

"..." Kiyono Lin, as if cold, tugged her scarf up a little, "Your friend was right about you, you do have a talent for writing love letters."

"It depends who it’s for. If I were to write a love letter, my heart would definitely be on Jiutiao i, and the whole flavor would be off."

"Is that so." Kiyono Lin replied disinterestedly, pressing down the scarf that covered her mouth.

"R-san, you’re just too cute!"

"Even though you speak the truth, why do I feel like you’re mocking ?"

"Not at all, I respect you..."

"Lies."

"Wait, listen to my explanation, hey, don’t go! My mistake, I was definitely wrong!"
