Dating sim loading: My girlfriend is a cunning young lady-Chapter 394 - 189. Winter Camping (11)_2

"400 kilometers," Kiyono Lin completed the movie title, "why are you suddenly talking about this?"

"Ah—, my love has been carried away by the south wind, it’s long gone..."

"Stop singing," Kiyono Lin immediately interrupted him.

"Then you sing," Dubian Che turned his head, looking at her expectantly.

Kiyono Lin’s chest rose and fell slightly, and after adjusting her breathing, she began to sing softly.

"Every unexpected encounter with you"

"Always makes me forget everything"

"Like a little girl, frolicking and playing"

"You can hear my heart beating, can’t you?"

"The coral reefs cast our skin in dappled light"

"It’s good just the two of us together"

"Because I like you"

Her voice was clean and clear, filled with both sorrow and sweetness, captivating the listener.

Many years later, Dubian Che still remembered that day, the winter sky was beautiful, and there was the faint but constant scent of Kiyono Lin, along with her enchanting singing.

After they came down from the ski run and took off their ski gear, they returned the skis.

In front of the camping site.

"Thank you for your instruction, Coach Kiyono."

"Write me a human observation report titled ’Learning to ski with a beautiful girl coach, two or three thoughts from a guy’s perspective’ by next Monday."

"...Huh?"

"As the club president, I will write a report titled ’Teaching a lying guy to ski, two or three thoughts of a beautiful girl coach’... Got any complaints?"

"None, just feels like you’re quite biased against me."

"Do you lie?"

"Occasionally..." under Kiyono Lin’s intense gaze, Dubian Che changed his answer, "Always."

"I’m not a pretty girl?"

"A thousand percent pretty."

"Any more complaints?"

"Completely gone."

The two parted ways, Kiyono Lin continued on her life path as if no one else was around, and Dubian Che stayed by Jiutiao Meijie’s side.

Back at the cabin, Kunii Shuichi and the others had returned.

"Dubian, where did you go? You didn’t reply to your messages," Saito Keisuke said.

Dubian Che took out his phone.

The message he’d sent had been "seen," and below it was Saito Keisuke’s message saying they’d gone fishing, with the specific spot and telling him to hurry there.

"You guys didn’t reply, so I went skiing," he said.

"We’re planning to go skiing this afternoon, are you coming?" the class representative said, adjusting his glasses.

"No, I won’t," Dubian Che said, then pointed at his glasses, "Why do they keep slipping down? Glasses too big?"

Hearing this, the others became curious.

"The class rep adjusted his glasses again: "It’s said my face is noticeably asymmetrical, which is why they always slip down."

"Noticeably asymmetrical?" Saito Keisuke, Kunii Shuichi, and another boy laughed heartily.

"Why ’it’s said’?" Dubian Che asked curiously.

"Because I don’t acknowledge it," the class rep answered calmly.

"I can’t see it either," Dubian Che said.

"Right! The optician must be fooling around!" The class rep got excited, and his glasses slipped down again.

Dubian Che couldn’t help but laugh: "You should get a pair made to measure, isn’t it uncomfortable like this?"

"Impossible!" the class rep said, holding his glasses, "None of you can influence me, I’m right!"

"Class rep, that’s enough," Saito Keisuke said.

"Yeah, you were fine until you mentioned it, now even an idiot can see your face is asymmetrical," Kunii Shuichi said.

"Improper glasses affect the prescription, don’t they?" another boy added.

"I’d rather be blind than admit my face is asymmetrical!" the class rep insisted.

Dubian Che patted his shoulder: "Whether or not your face is symmetrical is one thing, but I admire your attitude towards life."

"Dubian!" The normally composed class rep was so excited he reached out to shake Dubian Che’s hand.

Dubian Che quickly dodged.

In that moment, he understood: he didn’t admire the class rep, it was just that Kiyono Lin was also a stubborn person, so he was not opposed to the class rep, that’s all.

"You should really get a pair of suitable glasses made," Dubian Che said.

After a while of boisterous chatter, Saito Keisuke and the others went to the ski resort, and Kunii Shuichi stayed behind under the pretext of ’preparing for the bonfire party later.’

"Dubian, could you do me a favor?" Kunii Shuichi asked softly.

"What’s up?" Dubian Che pulled out "Chasing Water Years" from under his pillow.

"For the bonfire party later, can you go in my place?"

"Looks like you’ve got something on your mind," Dubian Che said without refusing or agreeing, casually flipping to a random page in the book and starting to read.

This book he had finished a while ago, but to understand all the French inside, there was still a long way to go.

"...I invited Ichiki to dance, and got rejected."

"Condolences."

"She even advised me to give up sooner and chase after other girls."

"She’s a good person," Dubian Che said, "So now you’re so upset you can’t move, and you want me to help you chop wood?"

"Before coming here, I asked the chairperson in charge of the campfire party to arrange for me and Ichiki to be in the same group."

"Oh," Dubian Che nodded understandingly and flipped another page of the book, "I’ll go for you."

"Thanks."

Dubian Che read in the dorm for an hour and a half, then stood up, left the cabin, and walked towards the campfire party square.

The committee chairperson was a cute girl; she didn’t make him chop wood but paired him up with Ichiki Aoi to carry logs from the warehouse.

Carrying logs was comfortable, or was chopping wood comfortable? Dubian Che wasn’t clear, but the committee chairperson probably thought carrying logs was a bit easier.

The two walked one in front of the other on the mountain road leading to the warehouse in the forest.

In the silent snow-covered woods, the chirps of birds were much louder than usual.

"Kunimi invited me to dance, and I turned him down," Ichiki Aoi started.

"I know."

"I really feel bad for him, Kunimi is truly a good guy, I even tried myself, but I really can’t do it, it’s not just Kunimi, other boys as well, my heart just doesn’t flutter."

"That’s fine, no need to force yourself," Dubian Che said.

"If it’s you, Mr. Dubian, with looks that transcend gender boundaries and become simply attractive, I could probably accept it."

"Are you mocking me? Saying I look like a girl?"

"Not at all! That’s not what I meant!"

The branches scattered on the ground snapped underfoot with a crisp sound.

The two reached the warehouse, and together carried a log, one in front of the other.

Ichiki Aoi stopped discussing her own issues and started talking about Jiutiao Meijie.

"Jiutiao Meijie became even prettier, our dorm was talking about it last night."

"She was pretty to begin with, aside from Kiyono, no one can compete with her."

"Mr. Dubian, don’t rush to her defense, geez!" Ichiki Aoi complained as if dissatisfied, "You misunderstood me, to be precise, it’s not that Jiutiao has become prettier, but she’s become more enchanting, even girls can’t help but be attracted."

"Are you declaring war on me?"

"...I still like Mayi."

"Oh, that’s fine then..."

"That’s probably not okay either," the words Dubian Che didn’t finish.

"I also like Kiyono."

"Hmm?"

"But being around her makes me so nervous, I can’t even make a joke, feels a bit cold and arrogant."

"That’s calmness and self-discipline."

"Yes, yes, calmness and self-discipline, my mistake again," Ichiki Aoi mumbled to herself quietly, "I almost forgot, you and Kiyono have something going on."

Dubian Che silently carried the log, pretending not to hear.

"There’s also Haomei," Ichiki Aoi said as her hands holding the log felt a bit sore, shifting her grip slightly.

"Yuzao Haomei? What’s good about her?" Dubian Che still remembered this ’150,000 yen’ ’ex-girlfriend’, a gold digger.

But that was her personal affair, he wouldn’t talk about it as a piece of gossip.

"Eh? Don’t you think she has an amazing figure? Beautiful long legs too! But then again, Mr. Dubian, your girlfriends are Jiutiao and Kiyono, no girl could have a better figure or prettier face than them!"

"Stop with the nonsense."

Ichiki Aoi acted as if she hadn’t heard, "Mr. Dubian, tell me about their figures, which one is better?"

"Why would you talk to me about this?" Dubian Che said with a headache.

If only he had known, he wouldn’t have helped Kunimi Shuichi.

"It’s strange to talk about this with girls, right? It’s even less appropriate among guys, only you, Mr. Dubian, are tight-lipped and know lots of info."

"I get it, you’re calling me androgynous."

"Oh my, how could you say that! Just tell me, I won’t tell anyone else!"

"I’ll tell you about Mayi Asuka’s figure then."

"No, no! I don’t want to hear that! I want to hear about Jiutiao and Kiyono!"

"...Ichiki, you really are strange."

The fiery red sunset skimmed over the treetops of the forest, as nightfall began to dye the ground.

The logs they carried to the square were piled up into a topless cube, with chopped kindling placed inside.

"Good work," said the committee chair.

"Good work," replied the committee members in unison.

"Everyone, hurry up to have dinner and take a bath, I wish you all find love at the campfire party!"
