"But now it seems that you and Yukinoshita are getting along pretty well... and there are no problems like I thought."

Looking at Qin Chuan again, a hint of satisfaction appeared on Hiratsuka Shizuka's face.

"If you and Hiratsuka Shizuka were in contact with someone with a similar personality, there might be a quarrel or something, but you... maybe your personality is more complementary to Yukinoshita's."

Chapter 49: The Umbrella

After confirming the relationship between Qinchuan and Yukinoshita Yukino, Hiratsuka Shizuka let Qinchuan go.

There was no plot like in the original work where Shizuka Hiratsuka forced Hachiman to join the Service Club.

After all, there is nothing wrong with Qinchuan's performance and he is not a problem child, so there is naturally no need for Shizuka Hiratsuka to feel that he should be thrown into the Service Club for correction like Hachiman Hikigaya did.

However, now Shizuka Hiratsuka is a little looking forward to seeing whether Yukinoshita Yukino's personality will change because of Qinchuan.

……

After leaving the office, Qin Chuan returned to the classroom, ready to pick up his schoolbag and go back to play games.

There was basically no one in the classroom. During the time that Qin Chuan and Hiratsuka Shizuka were talking, even the students on duty for the day had completed their tasks and left.

This also surprised Qin Chuan. The students on duty have been becoming more and more perfunctory in their work recently. They didn't even wipe the blackboard clean enough. No wonder they ran away so quickly.

However, when Qin Chuan came to his seat, he discovered that there was actually another person in the classroom.

"are you back?"

Kato Megumi was still sitting in her seat, looking at Qin Chuan who had just returned to the classroom with a smile on her face.

To be honest, if the classroom wasn't such a depressing sight, Qin Chuan would even feel that Kato Megumi was a bit like a girlfriend waiting for her boyfriend to come back.

——However, Qin Chuan looked carefully at Kato Megumi’s expression, but couldn’t tell what Kato Megumi was thinking at the moment.

"Yeah, I just had a little chat with Hiratsuka-sensei... Why haven't you gone home yet?"

Qin Chuan nodded, picked up his schoolbag from his seat, and looked at Kato Megumi with some curiosity.

Kato Megumi did not participate in club activities and had almost no communication with other classmates. Normally, she should go straight home after school.

Could it be that he is really waiting for me?

"Haven't you noticed? It's raining outside."

Seeing that Qin Chuan really didn't seem to realize anything, Kato Megumi gently raised her right hand - in her hand, she was holding a folding umbrella.

"Did Achuan bring an umbrella?"

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then looked out the window - his seat was next to the window, so he could see what was happening outside at a glance.

I didn't pay much attention when I was leaving school just now, but there is actually a drizzle outside the window.

Through the window, you can see some students walking out of the school gate with umbrellas, and some students who don’t bring umbrellas running out in a panic with their schoolbags on their heads.

In fact, even if Qin Chuan didn't bring an umbrella, as long as he let the black bird cover his body and use the sub-air miasma to remove all the rain falling on him, he would not get wet.

What's more, there was actually an umbrella in Qin Chuan's schoolbag.

“…It seems that I didn’t bring it.”

However, Kato Keito had been waiting for him in the classroom specifically for this matter, and Qin Chuan always felt that it would be a bit of a spoiler if he said "I brought an umbrella" at this time.

"That can't be helped."

Kato Megumi seemed to have expected Qin Chuan to say this, and had a faint smile on her face.

"I happened to have an umbrella with me, so let's go together with this umbrella."

Even though he had a strong sense of "qi", Qin Chuan still couldn't figure out what Kato Megumi was thinking. He always felt as if everything was within her expectations.

However, judging from the performance in the Dragon Ball world, there should indeed be a technique in the Roshi-ryu that uses "qi" to read minds. Both Roshi-ryu and Son Goku have used similar abilities.

However, firstly, Qin Chuan does not know the martial arts of the Kame-ryu school now, and secondly, it is unlikely that he will use this trick on Kato Megumi.

Walking to the school gate with Kato Megumi, Qin Chuan seemed to be affected by Kato Megumi's low presence, but no one greeted Qin Chuan along the way.

Although Qin Chuan is not a celebrity in the school, he can talk to many classmates. It is also very common for him to say hello to classmates he knows on the street.

But today, when he was walking from the classroom door to the school gate, he met a few classmates he knew. They didn't even look at Qin Chuan and just walked past them.

But Qin Chuan didn't care much about it.

"Where is Achuan's house?"

Standing under the eaves of the school gate, Kato Megumi opened the folding umbrella in her hand - the umbrella didn't look big, but it was indeed no problem for a man and a woman to squeeze in.

In Neon, this behavior of a man and a woman holding an umbrella together is called "matching umbrellas", which usually symbolizes love. Occasionally, you can see people drawing matching umbrellas and their classmates' names on the blackboard in the classroom.

"Here."

Qin Chuan pointed to the left side of the school gate and glanced at Kato Megumi - generally speaking, Kato Megumi should know what holding an umbrella with a boy implies.

However, Kato Megumi's expression was very calm at this time, as if sharing an umbrella with Qin Chuan was not something to be ashamed of.

"Oh, that's bad. My home is over here."

After seeing the direction Qinchuan pointed, Kato Megumi let out a soft "ah" and pointed to the right side of the school gate.

The two looked at each other, unexpectedly, the directions of their homes were actually opposite.

However, after a brief silence, Kato Hui quickly gave a new solution - although this solution may be exaggerated for ordinary girls:

"Then send Ah Chuan home, and then I will go back by myself."

"Ah? Isn't this a bit bad?"

Qin Chuan subconsciously felt that it was inappropriate - how could he let a girl send him home first?

If Qin Chuan really wanted to send Kato Megumi home, he should first send Kato Megumi's umbrella home, then borrow Kato Megumi's umbrella and then return the umbrella tomorrow.

...Oh no, tomorrow is Saturday, so I have to wait until next Monday to send it back.

"This is my umbrella, just listen to me."

Kato Megumi stared at Qin Chuan, and there was a rare sense of unquestionableness in her tone, which made Qin Chuan unable to say what he originally wanted to say.

What else could he do? Qin Chuan simply agreed to Kato Megumi's proposal.

Fortunately, Qin Chuan's home was not far from the school, so after chatting with Kato Megumi, it took about ten minutes to reach the downstairs of Qin Chuan's apartment.

"This is my home."

After arriving downstairs of the apartment building, Qin Chuan nodded to Kato Megumi.

This was the first time that Qin Chuan walked to his home with his classmates, and Kato Megumi was also the first girl who knew where he lived.

Out of politeness, Qin Chuan subconsciously asked:

"Would you like to come to my house and sit down?"

Originally, this was just a common greeting, and Qin Chuan just said it casually - normally, when a girl faces such an invitation from a boy of the same age, she should directly refuse.

But unexpectedly, after hearing this, Kato Hui nodded seriously:

"Then excuse me."

Chapter 50: Preparing for Harvest

"I'm sorry, we don't usually have guests at home, so there are no drinks or tea, only drinking water."

Qin Chuan placed a glass of water on Kato Hui's desk and spoke helplessly.

He didn't expect that he just casually invited her, but Kato Megumi would follow him up without any precautions.

"Don't anybody else come usually?"

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Qin Chuan felt that when Kato Megumi heard that no one else came to his house, the expression on her face became a little happier.

"It's okay, just drink water. I don't really like drinking beverages."

Qin Chuan was not sure whether this sentence reflected Kato Megumi's true situation or was just a comforting remark made by Kato Megumi to avoid making things difficult for Qin Chuan.

"There's nothing fun in my house, and I don't have parents or siblings or anything like that."

Qin Chuan sat on the other side of the table, watching Kato Megumi drinking water in small sips.

"But Hui, you should have a sense of crisis. If a boy of your age invites you like this, you should be careful and shouldn't follow him so easily."

"It doesn't matter. I will only agree if Achuan invites me."

Kato Megumi shook her head gently, looked at Qin Chuan calmly, and said lines that could easily be misunderstood.

If Qin Chuan's mental age wasn't a little older than his actual age, he would probably have blushed by now because of Kato Megumi's remarks.

After all, young people don't want to hear such words.

"Ahem... your words could easily be misunderstood."

Qin Chuan coughed twice to ease the slight embarrassment in his heart.

"But you're taking such a long detour and visiting someone else's house. It will take quite a while, right? Won't your family be worried?"

"No, my family trusts me very much. Usually no one will notice me, so they are not afraid that I will be in danger."

Kato Megumi took out her mobile phone and waved it at Qin Chuan - Qin Chuan could see that the screen of her mobile phone was stuck on the chat window.

"And I've already told my parents, so it's okay."

Just now when Qin Chuan entered the room, he saw Kato Megumi using her mobile phone. It seemed that she was explaining the situation to her parents.

I don’t know whether Kato Megumi told her that she went to a boy’s home. If her parents were relieved by this, then they were really too confident in Kato Megumi.

Think about it, in the original work, Kato Megumi lived in someone else's house, and Kato Megumi's parents didn't seem to interfere... It can only be said that Kato Megumi's family seems to be too easy-going.

"Has Achuan always lived alone?"

Putting down the cup of water, Kato Hui looked at Qin Chuan with some curiosity.

Although he and Qin Chuan had been chatting intensively these past few days and they had gotten to know each other a little better, the family situation was still too complicated, so they didn't talk much about it.

Although she knew that Qinchuan lived alone, Kato Megumi was not sure about his family's situation.

"I don't have any parents. I have lived alone since I was conscious."

Qin Chuan answered this question calmly, and he didn't feel sad or anything - he was single when he came into this world, and he had money and a house ready.

"I see. Sorry."

Kato Megumi apologized immediately, just like how most Japanese people would react when they heard that the other person was an orphan.

"It's not something to be sad about. I'm quite comfortable living alone."

Qin Chuan shook his head.

"When Hui grows up, she will live separately from her parents sooner or later. I just brought it forward a little bit."

"It's too much to do it more than ten years in advance."

Seeing that Qin Chuan really didn't seem to care, Kato Megumi breathed a sigh of relief and started making fun of Qin Chuan.

"But sometimes I do have this thought, wanting to have a space where I can be alone."

Although they have their own rooms at home, they are still under the jurisdiction of their parents. Every child should have wanted more free space.

Even Kato Megumi sometimes has such thoughts.

"By the way, is there any spare room in Achuan's house?"

I don't know what Kato Megumi was thinking, but she suddenly asked this question abruptly.

"After all, Ah Chuan said that no one else would come to his house normally, right? In such a big house, is there any place that has never been used?"

"Well...indeed, there is. This apartment seems to have been designed for multiple people to live in, so there are guest rooms and a second bedroom."

Qin Chuan also took a sip of water, nodded and replied.

"But those two rooms haven't been used for a long time. Although there are beds in them, they must have accumulated a lot of dust."

"I see……"

Kato Megumi nodded, as if she had thought of something, with a faint smile on her face.

……

Half an hour later, Qin Chuan watched Kato Megumi leave his home.
