Chapter 11: The Foolish Smile of Hidjiro

  Ri Jiyu's phone vibrated and he saw a message from an unfamiliar number. He habitually thought of deleting it, but accidentally pressed the view button instead. Seeing the sender's name, his heart skipped a beat! He let out a deep breath... Fortunately, he hadn't deleted it, or else he would have regretted it to death? After reading the content of the message, his heart felt slightly more at ease.

  But what made him happiest was that he now had her phone number. A silly smile appeared on his normally stern and cold face.

  The regulars all rushed to the tennis club after class, but unexpectedly saw Ryōji with a silly grin on his face. (⊙o⊙) Wow! This is really big news! They say people in love are like idiots! Has Ryōji really started dating? Is the object of his affections that girl he seems to care about, Katsuragi Ayaka? It's really 'true to form'! Did he get her to fall for him so quickly?!

  Toward the mountain, a person jumped and jumped to the side of Yūshi, saying in a low voice, "Hey, hey, Yūshi, do you think we should go take a look at that Hakuren Yakumo's true face? I'm really curious! How did she subdue Hiyori?"

  He glanced at his partner's gossiping face, then looked at Hiyori who was still smiling foolishly, and a sly smile spread across his face. "Perhaps it's necessary," he thought to himself. He also wanted to see what kind of girl Akogi Natsumi was, that could make someone like Hiyori secretly fall for her. Was she really just an introvert?

  Ji Bu was speechless as he looked at these two gossiping men, he wasn't interested in this at all, what he wanted to know was about the girl he saw that morning, looks like he needs to investigate which class she's from.

  On the other hand, in the Katsuragi house, Shizuka Ryoko walked into Katsuragi Ayaka's room, wanting to personally help her clean up. Hehe, she would eagerly run to do even a little bit of work for her darling, and besides, it was her darling's boudoir! She wouldn't let anyone else 'lay a hand' on it!

  Standing in the room of Akane Motomiya, Shizuka Nakahara secretly sighed. The taste of her beloved after losing her memory has really changed a lot and is still very elegant. Looking at the neatly arranged collection, including Chinese ink paintings and collections related to China, there are even many Chinese books! Has her beloved become fascinated with China? On her dresser was an open Chinese book, the beautiful small characters caught her attention. If it were just words, she wouldn't have been so concerned, but the problem is that those words are in Chinese! She can't read Chinese, so she took out a piece of paper and copied some down to ask someone who knows Chinese what they mean. She thought it was necessary to understand her beloved's thoughts and hobbies. It seems like her beloved has an interest in everything about China, so she should learn Chinese too, just like her beloved. Then wouldn't there be many topics to chat with her beloved about? Hehe, she is really clever!

  After finishing the cleaning in a flurry, Shizuka Reiko immediately took out a piece of paper with small characters and went to find her university professor, Takashi Hiroshi.

  High fashion at home

  An old man sat upright on the sofa, looking at the young woman opposite him and asked kindly, "Liangzi, I didn't expect you to come see an old man like me. What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?"

  "Ahah, teacher, I actually have something I'd like to ask you."

  Gao Fu smiled and said, "Tell me about it."

  Shizuka Ryoko hastily handed him the small piece of paper, "I want to ask the teacher what this Chinese character means."

  Gao Fu Heng looked at him curiously, "Translation?"

  Shizuka Ryoko nodded, "Yes, teacher, this was written by my daughter. Lately, she seems to like Chinese a lot. I saw such a sentence and also want to know what's on her mind."

  Gao Fu Heng Yuan nodded in agreement, thinking of his own autistic daughter who had also come to seek his advice many times before. He didn't expect that this time it was still because of his own daughter that she came. Liang Zi really cared about that girl deeply, pitiful indeed are the hearts of all parents~

  Looking at the small words above, Gao Fu Heng Yu's mouth opened slightly in surprise and asked, "Has your daughter had any unusual behavior recently?" How could he write such things?

  Shizuka Ryoko immediately asked anxiously, "Teacher, did the baby write something serious?"

  Koufuku nodded and shook his head again. Shizuka Reiko was anxious, what did this mean? "Teacher?"

  Gao Fu Heng Yuan sighed, "That child has a knot in his heart, although I know the meaning of these words in Chinese, but still don't understand the thoughts of the person who wrote down these words."

  Shizuka Ryoko's hand grasped her clothes tightly and asked in a trembling voice, "What did baby write?" This was what she urgently wanted to know.

  Gao Fu Heng handed her the translation on paper. "Perhaps you, being the closest to her, are more likely to understand her inner world? Think carefully about it, maybe you can make her happy. I have a hunch that this knot in her heart is something you two cannot untie, all you can do is make her happy, as for how to do it, that's up to you."

  Shizuka Ryoko stared blankly at the words on the paper, thanked the old man and took a ride home. When she got home, she went straight to find Kaito Minami to discuss with him, maybe it would be faster that way.
