Dating sim loading: My girlfriend is a cunning young lady-Chapter 13 - 11. Dubian’s Life Journey

After school, Dubian Che was called to the teacher's office by Xiaoquan Aonai.

"Mr. Dubian, do you know why I wanted to see you?"

"A monthly test?"

"That has nothing to do with it. You scored well, with a deviation value over 74. I remember you wrote Tokyo University on your school application survey, right? Just keep it up; you're totally fine, even for science and engineering majors."

"Mr. Xiaoquan, Tokyo University was my old goal. Now, I have a new dream."

"Is it to attend Qingshan College, where the most beautiful girls are?"

"No."

"Then it must be Keio, with all the handsome guys?"

"..." Dubian Che said, "I've decided to become a Tokyo hunk."

Xiaoquan Aonai's face, with light makeup, slowly showed a puzzled expression.

"Ha ha ha ha!" Akiko, the English teacher from the next class, vigorously slapped Xiaoquan Aonai's leg under her skirt and burst into laughter.

"Indeed! Aonai, your student is really interesting!"

Xiaoquan Aonai moved Akiko's hand away and asked Dubian Che with a wry smile mixed with confusion, "A Tokyo hunk... is that a new profession? Sorry, I'm not very familiar with the latest trends."

"It's more accurately described as an attitude towards life," he answered.

"An attitude towards life?"

The two young English teachers curiously waited for him to continue.

"Yes," Dubian Che explained, "First, you need to be handsome enough."

"Mmm." Neither teacher had any objections.

A Tokyo hunk, by the name itself, clearly had to be handsome.

"Next, always keep 30% mystery about yourself."

Akiko nodded approvingly, "A man with a sense of mystery is very attractive to women."

What Dubian Che actually meant was that everything related to gaming should be kept secret from others, but what Akiko said was close enough.

"Furthermore, do what you need to do."

"Do what you need to do?"

"I'm a student, so I must strive to excel in my studies; I'm the child of my parents, so I need to respect them and return their expectations and kindness; as a friend, I should treat others sincerely... In short, do what you ought to do based on your identity, not just what you prefer."

Xiaoquan Aonai very much agreed with this, "Mr. Dubian, I'm so glad that you have such insights at just fifteen."

"That's too difficult a way to live, how could that be a Tokyo hunk!" Akiko disagreed, "Isn't a Tokyo hunk just about being handsome and rich, and remaining uninterested even when the most beautiful girls fall for him?"

"That's just a playboy," Dubian Che shook his head, "Ms. Akiko, being a Tokyo hunk is really hard."

Akiko chuckled, "You little rascal, just keep talking nonsense! Continue, let's see what your Tokyo hunk is really all about!"

"Akiko!" Xiaoquan Aonai slightly annoyed, "Be mindful of the words and tone you use when speaking with students."

"Got it, got it, my dear Mr. Xiaoquan. Mr. Dubian, please—"

"Next, you need to have the confidence to succeed in anything. For example, I'm not good at sports, but I believe that if I try hard for a month, I can do better than most people."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoquan Aonai looked into Dubian Che's eyes and earnestly educated him, "Mr. Dubian, it's good to be confident, but you also need to be humble and not look down on anyone."

"What's wrong with that, I think it's very cool! Hey Dubian, after graduation would you date me?"

"Akiko!" Xiaoquan Aonai raised the textbook in her hand, ready to strike.

Akiko exaggeratedly dodged and playfully winked her right eye at Dubian Che.

Dubian Che pretended not to see it and continued, "Mr. Xiaoquan, a Tokyo hunk must have this kind of confidence."

"Alright, having confidence is better than none, but don't be arrogant."

"That's enough lecturing," Akiko made a 'stop' gesture with her hands, "Dubian, you just said 'next,' so there must be more, right?"

Dubian Che nodded, "Finally, be prepared to be stabbed in the back at any time."

"Ah, I get it! '** Campus'."

"'** Campus'? What's that?" Xiaoquan Aonai asked, puzzled.

Akiko whispered something to her, and then the slightly blushing Xiaoquan Aonai rolled up the English textbook in her hand and gently tapped it on Dubian Che's head.

"Not allowed!" Her tone was so serious that it could even be called a command.

Not allowed what? Dubian Che felt utterly confused.

What he meant by his last point was to have a sense of crisis?

In life, many unexpected things like betrayal, hatred, and jealousy can happen at any time, and you must be prepared.

That's all!

Dubian Che didn't want to waste any more time after school and changed the subject, "Mr. Xiaoquan, what did you want to see me about this time?"

Xiaoquan Aonai gestured toward someone behind Dubian Che, "Kiyono, come over here too."

As Dubian Che turned around, he saw Kiyono Lin, a beautiful girl who was perfect in every way except for her chest, standing at the office door with her arms crossed.

This was the first time Dubian Che had seen her standing.

Her slender legs, visible beneath her pleated skirt, and her white indoor shoes were strikingly noticeable.

"When did you get here?" he asked.

Kiyono Lin flicked her long hair beside her ear and said with a smile, "First, secondly, again, another time, and finally."

"That means you've been here from the start, right? You could have said something."

"Disturbing others—is that something a Tokyo hunk should do?" Kiyono Lin's expression was half-mocking, half-amused.

"...Why did you emphasize 'Tokyo hunk'? Are you looking down on Tokyo hunks? That's my life you're talking about."

"Tokyo hunk... life..." Kiyono Lin turned her face away, her shoulders shaking slightly.

"Are you laughing at me?"

"Yes."

Ah, what a curt and unsympathetic response. Could it be that Kiyono Lin really doesn't lie? Aren't white lies that make the world a better place necessary?

It's not a one-size-fits-all situation.

"You guys get along so well? That puts me at ease," Xiaoquan Aonai said with relief.

"This man who constantly lies, I could never get along with him, please don't misunderstand, Mr.," Kiyono Lin said with a tone as if it didn't matter if she was misunderstood, but since it came up, she might as well clarify.

Since Kiyono Lin doesn't lie, her relationship with Dubian Che really is bad.

After saying that, she acted as if nothing had happened and continued speaking to Xiaoquan Aonai, "Mr., what did you want to see me about?"

Xiaoquan Aonai glanced at Dubian Che, still seeming to puzzle over the nature of their relationship.

"The Literary Department has lodged a complaint with the student council, and then the student council came to me, the advisor of the Human Observation Department."

"Is it about the submissions?" Kiyono Lin asked, her tone full of conviction.

"Yes," Xiaoquan Aonai nodded, sighing, "Kiyono, your critique stating that the Literary Department is completely useless won the poll for first place."

"That's too much!" Dubian Che exclaimed in an admiring tone.

Not only did it win first place, but it criticized the organizers, who had no choice but to print the article in the club journal.

Truly a girl with an IQ of 8, claiming to see through all lies!

"Dubian, you too!" Xiaoquan Aonai shot an angry look at the amused Dubian Che.

"What did I do?"

"Your 'Future Us' got second place in votes using the usual style of the Literary Department."

"Style?"

"You used the Literary Department's best style to beat them, what do you think?"

Dubian Che quickly explained, "Misunderstanding! It has nothing to do with me. The style—it's just that I happened to read old issues of the Literary Department's journal before I wrote it, and was unconsciously influenced!"

Xiaoquan Aonai shot him a look that said 'go explain that misunderstanding to the Literary Department, see if they believe you,' and said wearily, "Now you see why they lodged a complaint?"

"They can't compete fairly, don't think about working harder but go complaining," Kiyono Lin chuckled dismissively, not angry in the slightest, even seeming to pity the people of the Literary Department.

"You two could have just submitted normally with your talents, but you chose to cause trouble!"

"Tokyo hunks are naturally the bad guys," Akiko, who hadn't been preparing for more than two minutes, chimed in suddenly.

Having his newfound life goal continuously criticized, Dubian Che was very upset.

"Akiko, this was the Minister's command, it has nothing to do with me, I'm innocent. And I already said that thing about the style was a misunderstanding! Kiyono, could you explain for me? You know I'm not lying, right?"

Kiyono Lin covered her delicate, charming lips with her hand, turned her face away, and her body shook slightly: "Tokyo hunk..."

It seemed the term "Tokyo hunk" was a funny one to her.

Xiaoquan Aonai sighed weakly, looking beautiful and yet giving off the air of a woman confined by her grievances.

She said, "Going forward, Human Observation Department club activities must be approved by me, and let's leave the Literary Department matter at this."

"Whatever," Kiyono Lin said indifferently.

For her, the article that won first place was just a boring piece she'd written in half an hour. She hadn't invested much energy in it, so its cancellation was immaterial.

"..." Dubian Che.

Did anyone remember how long he spent memorizing all the names and faces of his classmates in freshman year?

Xiaoquan Aonai, ignoring his slightly pained expression, pulled out a stack of test papers from her drawer.

"I actually have something to ask of you both."
