Kiyono Lin sighed helplessly, "What's the matter?"
"Did you and Meiji really agree to marry the same person?" the person across whispered quietly.
Kiyono Lin frowned slightly.
But before she could answer, Xiaoquan Aonai's somewhat sharp voice rang out.
"Dubian!"
"Mr. Xiaoquan? You're here too."
"Yes, I'm here too!"
Ever since Dubian Che had arrived, Kiyono Lin had sensed something off about Xiaoquan Aonai's emotions, and her tone was very stiff.
What's wrong?
Could there be some unspeakable secret between the student and teacher?
Recalling their intimacy, which was far beyond what was common, Kiyono Lin couldn't help but doubt the possibility of such a guess.
Meanwhile, Dubian Che had already asked Xiaoquan Aonai why she was here.
"Dubian Che," started Kiyono Lin.
"Are you in a bad mood? Angry?"
Dubian Che's simple counter-question, in a gentle probing voice, left Kiyono Lin momentarily at a loss for words.
