Chapter 363: 178. Daily Life Heading Towards Winter Camping (Complete)_2

[Tip: Set the release time in advance, no limits on duration, once used, the player will also be caught in the pause.]

So, if I use this bookmark, besides 1,000 points being deducted from my score, the whole world remains unchanged?

Even the user themselves would just know that time had paused, but it will make no difference from anyone else?

Isn’t this just a scam to steal points? There’s no real intention to pause time?

Dubian Che had spent 5,000 points to redeem five of them, betting that maybe in the rest of his life, he’d get an item that could make him immune to time pauses.

Next up are skills.

[Skills: Entry-level—Singing (100), Beginner-level—Bread Baking (1,000), Master—Snooker (10,000), Grandmaster—Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (100,000)]

"Coronary artery what?"

With thoughts of ’maybe it’s some kind of human alchemy,’ Dubian Che groped in the dark to light up his phone screen.

Struggling with the glare, his eyes squinted reflexively.

After a while, he tossed his phone aside and buried his head to sleep.

’Coronary bypass is just that, why call it coronary artery bypass graft surgery, taking advantage I don’t read medical books?’

December 1st, light rain, blowing with the southwest wind.

Having done sit-ups and push-ups, and after a shower, Dubian Che walked down the stairs of his rented place.

Through his clear umbrella, he looked up at the sky.

The breath from his mouth, like white clouds, floated away with the wind.

Every time those wisps of white vapor rose and dispersed into the rain, it seemed to add a bit more to the cold.

Today he was still in a shirt and suit jacket, without buttoning up the coat.

The credit for all this should go to Qi Blood Medicine. Even if he had been exercising consistently since spring, Dubian Che still knew his limits.

’Not being arrogant or proud is another great thing about me. (Learned from Kiyono Lin.)’

Dubian Che spun his clear umbrella, water droplets flew, creating miniature waterfalls, and he stepped forward, heading towards the train station.

On rainy days, the shoe cabinet area was damp, with droplets falling from umbrellas and muddy water from students’ feet.

Dubian Che put his umbrella in the stand, took out a love letter and indoor shoes from the shoe cabinet.

He shoved the love letter into his backpack and was putting on his shoes when Kiyono Lin approached.

She wrapped herself tightly, aside from a scarf, she had also put on a fashionable winter coat over her uniform.

"Good morning, Kiyono," Dubian Che greeted.

"Good morning," replied Kiyono Lin, with just her eyes showing from her face, she glanced at him once and then at his unbuttoned uniform.

"I’m not trying to be cool, I’m really not cold," Dubian explained.

"Lies."

"Um... to say there’s no element of trying to look cool would be false, but I am really not cold, you can touch my hand if you don’t believe me."

Saying so, Dubian Che unconsciously pulled his right hand out of his pocket and reached towards Kiyono Lin.

Halfway through, he suddenly realized the gesture was inappropriate, and knowing Kiyono Lin could tell the truth in his words, he prepared to stuff it back into his pocket.

But his hand was already held by Kiyono Lin.

Her hand was surprisingly cold, like walking barefoot on tiles in winter.

Her hand was small and tender, like a newborn fawn; small and pitiful.

Kiyono Lin nodded, seemingly acknowledging that indeed he wasn’t cold, and proceeded to change her shoes at her own pace.

Dubian Che stood beside her, wondering if he should give her some Qi Blood Medicine.

It really was a good thing, deserving of its clunky tagline, "Nourishes the innate, fosters the acquired, moistens the source of life."

But Kiyono Lin’s sensitivity to cold wasn’t something of just a day or two, and if she suddenly got better this winter, the young miss at his house would definitely notice.

God Kiyono never exercised; such an abrupt change would immediately direct Jiutiao Meijie’s suspicions towards him, who already had a history.

Then, hiding the Qi Blood Medicine was the least of his concerns; not giving it to his girlfriend yet to another woman would definitely welcome a bloody winter.

Difficult indeed.

Kiyono Lin finished changing shoes, and the two walked towards the building housing the first-year classes.

Dubian Che knew she was too cold to talk, so he didn’t initiate a conversation.

Inhaling her clean, crisp scent—a bit like the first breath of air on a winter morning—Dubian Che entered his own classroom without saying a word.

Inside the classroom, even the robust Kunii Shuichi had put on a knitted sweater.

For Dubian Che’s brazen dress sense, both male and female students in class four unanimously regarded it as an attempt at looking cool.

Dubian Che couldn’t be bothered to explain.

He didn’t want to offer his hand for these people to touch.

At noon, the academic results were posted. Despite the rain pouring down and the corridor where the results were being displayed being soaked, it was still crowded with people.

Kunii Shuichi was concerned about Ichiki Aoi’s scores and dragged Dubian Che and Saito Huijie along.

"Excuse me, please make way."

Once Dubian Che spoke up, a girl’s voice sounded from the innermost part of the crowd:

"Mr. Dubian, you’re number one again! Congratulations!"

"Thank you!" Dubian Che raised his voice in reply.

"Where’s mine, where’s mine!" Saito Huijie raised his hand.

The girl turned to see who it was, recognized a boy who often hung out with Dubian Che, and glanced at the rankings.

"Saito-san, you’re at rank 29."

"Woohoo!" Saito Huijie swung his arm, "Finally made it into the top thirty! It wasn’t in vain going to cram school every day!"

Kunii Shuichi didn’t ask; relying on his excellent physique, he kept pushing forward.

Other than his own scores, he had to check Ichiki Aoi’s—and of course, he couldn’t let anyone else know about this.

Dubian Che and Saito Huijie waited on the side.

"Is Kunii a fool or what?" Saito Huijie threw out an offhand insult and started sharing his painful cram school experiences with Dubian Che.

"That teacher is absolutely a sadist, test after test every day, followed by explanations, and then straight into another test, timing us even when we go to the bathroom..."

Soon after, Kunii Shuichi reemerged.

"I’ve improved as well!" He exclaimed excitedly as he wrapped his wrist around Saito Huijie’s neck.

Dubian Che understood; it wasn’t just him who had made progress, Ichiki Aoi had too.

"It seems studying does pay off, we can keep it up next time." Having eaten at KFC, even Dubian Che’s words sounded pleasant.

"I’ll be counting on you then!" Kunii Shuichi released the struggling Saito Huijie and punched Dubian Che in the chest.

"Study group?" Saito Huijie, rubbing his neck, shouted, "What did you guys do behind my back! How could you not call me!"

"I told you about it, but you said you wanted to join the computer research club."

"That was just me making the most of my time to play games, do you know how late my cram school goes? Remember to call me next time!"

The three of them returned to the classroom, laughing and joking.

For students of Goda School who were dedicated to their studies, only with decent scores in the monthly tests could they fully enjoy the winter camp.

If their grades dropped, even just inviting a girl to dance at the bonfire party would fill them with anxiety, fearing it could affect their studies.

After school, Jiutiao Meijie was missing, Kiyono Lin was bedridden and Dubian Che didn’t feel good about making taunts.

He could only wait until the cherry blossoms bloomed next year to freely make fun of the two.

After the test week and the two days of analyzing the test papers flashed by, it was suddenly Tuesday, the day before the winter camp.

After school, Dubian Che went with Kunii Shuichi to buy picnic ingredients.

Considering the barbecue at Xuxuyuan, he dutifully played the role of the ’handsome supporting actor next to the male lead’, ensuring other girls wouldn’t disturb Kunii Shuichi.

"How did it go?" he asked Kunii Shuichi after separating from the girls.

"Just like you said, I made arrangements to attend the test of courage! Are you sure the suspension bridge effect you mentioned really works?" Kunii Shuichi said with excitement.

"Whether it works or not, I don’t know, but it’s worth a try. Leave the rest to me, I’ll make sure she’s scared enough to jump into your arms."

"Don’t you think it’s wrong for us to manipulate a girl like this?"

"Well, forget it then."

"I’m just saying! Don’t take it seriously! I can only rely on you now, Dubian!"

"You still don’t realize the essence of the situation, Kunii. Love is war! When chasing a girl, any means that’s not illegal are permissible. The test of courage is nothing, I’ll teach you a couple more tricks next time; it’s the least I can do after eating your dinner."

Just after Dubian Che finished boasting, the mostly ignored system since the beginning of the month flashed.

[You have one new email]

He separated from Kunii Shuichi and opened the email while sitting in the train heading back to his rental place.
