"???"
Something's not right. Did something terrible happen while I was unconscious?
A surge of intense curiosity welled up within her, and before she could even ask a question, the little tiger's lazy muttering drifted over from afar—
"Wow, a shower made me feel so much better, even my head isn't so dizzy anymore."
"You guys changed your clothes pretty quickly, Pink Sausage Dragon, what are you hiding for? You seem to be acting suspiciously."
Before the little tiger could finish speaking, he felt a strong killing intent lock onto him.
Chapter 60, Section 62: Apartment Frontline: Someone's Trying to Steal a Home?!
Little Tiger died tragically at the hands of Inspector Chen's Dark Shark.
Chen Huijie's moves were extremely fast, accurate, and ruthless; almost no one could see how she moved.
When she came to her senses, she had already squeezed Swire so tightly that his eyes rolled back, and after struggling a few times but failing to break free, the little tiger slumped down completely.
Everyone watched this scene with twitching eyelids, and when the other person looked up, they all turned their heads away, pretending they hadn't seen anything.
After intimidating everyone, Chen Huijie dragged the "corpse" of the little tiger back behind Hoshiguma.
Quietly, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, Hoshiguma smirked and could only offer to cover for him.
"Well, I think we've practiced enough for today, so let's call it a day."
"We have a dinner appointment, so we can't be too late."
"I also made plans to go to the night market with my friends, and I'm about to leave now."
"My family is urging me to go home for dinner."
As Jiang Qiu spoke, her gaze also fell upon Mei Hong, who was still drying her hair.
Mokou shrugged upon seeing this.
"Since we're all getting ready to leave, I might as well head back home soon. There are a few little ones waiting for me to take them to the children's park."
"Wow, you've had quite a busy day."
"There are quite a few people in the family. They've been pestering us for days. Since we've already agreed, we can't just fool them."
"So what about your homework?"
""
Mokou paused, her hand still drying her hair. The question she had selectively forgotten was inevitably brought to the forefront again.
After a long silence, she finally revealed an expression filled with trust—
"As long as I arrive early enough, Asuna and Shino won't stand by and watch me die!"
"Are you just going to rule out Silver Wolf and Kaguya as options like that?"
"The two of them? One is a morning person who has trouble getting up and arrives at school almost at the last minute every day, and the other is someone who copied what I did."
"I suddenly have a feeling that the future of the club is worrying."
Jiang Qiu's lips twitched. Was this some kind of fateful call, where birds of a feather flock together?
The two chatted as they packed their luggage.
By the time everyone had packed up and left the gym, it was already getting dark.
Before parting, Jiang Qiu made sure to exchange contact information with them, and even the immobile little tiger was successfully added with Hoshiguma's help.
But this scene made Chen Huijie's expression turn somewhat serious.
Hoshiguma's behavior is no different from handing a hoe to a cat that's stealing fish and digging under the wall!
That's too naive!
It seems I'll have to give her a few more words of advice later. If things continue like this, Hoshiguma's hair will turn green with envy sooner or later.
As everyone waved goodbye, Jiang Qiu hurried home as quickly as possible.
He was already starving after being relentlessly pushed to his limits at the gym.
Jingjie happened to be there too, and he was thinking of discussing future assignments with her.
Since the other party is my class's homeroom teacher and we know each other so well, maybe there's some room for negotiation regarding the homework!
Meanwhile, at Jiang Qiu's house, Shika and the others, having finished serving the dishes, were already sitting around the table, asking Mikasa and the others about their start of school with great interest.
However, since Jiang Qiu hadn't arrived home yet, the group didn't touch their food much, at most sipping some wine or taking a few bites of appetizers.
While peeling peanuts, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but ask—
"You guys joined the light music club?"
"Yeah, I also managed to get two new friends to join, so we have enough people for the band."
"I know about Liang, but what about the other two?"
"They're in the same class. One is super sunny and full of energy, definitely a well-known figure in the class."
"The other one was someone I met when I heard the sound of a guitar coming from the corner of the stairs as I was going upstairs. I went over to take a look out of curiosity."
"However, the other person seems to have social anxiety, much like how Kiku-san was when she first moved into the apartment."
"I just peeked out and she almost fainted on the spot."
As Hongxia spoke, she also pretended to be surprised, and the magnetic levitation ahoge on her head started to swing wildly in sync.
"Oh wow, if you have the chance, introduce us to your band. Your band is much faster than we were back then."
"Ah, it makes me nostalgic to think about the past. When Jiang Qiu first came here, she was still so young and innocent, just like a cute little pet. It was so heartwarming."
"And look at things now, tsk... let's take a walk with the four divisions..."
Hiroi Kikuri gulped down a large mouthful of sake, looking regretful and dejected about her bleak future.
But this only made Mikasa more curious—
"What's wrong now?"
"Now? Now she's a pet being kept."
Before Kiku could even speak, Hiratsuka Shizuka interrupted her.
This guy is usually so drunk he's practically unrecognizable, and he's not even as reliable as Jiang Qiu. He's completely under her thumb.
Upon hearing this, Hiroi Kikuri's lips twitched, and she made a few reluctant attempts to defend herself, saying that she was still quite reliable at times!
However, since she was sitting next to Shika Hoshige, her voice gradually weakened as she tried to explain.
In the end, it turned into a bitter pill to swallow, causing heartache, and he adopted an attitude of no longer caring about Shizuka Hiratsuka.
Hiratsuka Shizuka rolled her eyes at her, then spoke again—
"Mikasa and Rikka, are you involved in any clubs?"
"Hmph, the Evil King's True Eye has been summoned by an ancient legend, and under the pull of fate, it has successfully met the magical demon girl at the crossroads of destiny."
Snapped!
"speak English."
"Shichimiya and I jointly created a club called the Far East Magic Nap Club Summer."
"I joined the combat training department, and it's quite interesting there."
"Hey, I thought you'd join the same club as Jiang Qiu."
Xingge was somewhat surprised, as this guy always tried to do everything together with Jiang Qiu when he was around.
"That was my original plan, but before I could find anyone, I was invited by a few enthusiastic girls to visit the club."
"I met some pretty capable guys over there, and after asking Jiang Qiu, who also suggested I stay and give it a try, that's how it was decided."
Mikasa casually explained, recalling the blonde girl who had sparred with her in the ring, feeling as if she had met a worthy opponent.
Before anyone could ask any further questions, the familiar sound of the door opening immediately drew everyone's attention.
The moment Jiang Qiu's smile came into view, before anyone could even invite them to sit down and eat, their eyes suddenly sharpened in unison.
This looks like it's been in a shower.
And there was an unfamiliar fragrance on her!
P.S.: I'll never eat Hellish Spicy Chashu Ramen again! It made me so weak from sitting on the toilet that my legs almost went numb.
Chapter 61, Section 63: Hiratsuka Shizuka: I think the other party is no match for me!
"Where did you go after school? Why is your hair still wet?"
As Jiang Qiu sat down next to Hiratsuka Shizuka and Hoshika, the others asked a question with some confusion.
And that strange, slightly exciting scent... it all looks like the result of cleaning up evidence after sneaking out for a meal.
Damn it, so many cheaters on the first day of school?!
"I was taken to the gym by a senior in the club. Putting everything else aside, that gym is pretty awesome. You guys can try it out when you have time."
"That cloud-top gym across from the school?"
"hold head high."
"The fruit there is quite good, but I'm rather lazy, so I didn't go back after visiting it once."
"Instead of having this much free time, it would be better to have a few drinks after work to shake off the work stress and feel more comfortable."
Hiratsuka Shizuka muttered to herself, not forgetting to let out a lazy burp.
After visiting once, she always felt that something was off about the place, like a spider's web waiting for its prey to walk into its trap.
The air is thick with the scent of appetite!
Everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this, as long as they weren't going to some strange place to fool around.
As for the strange scent, they mistook it for the smell of shower gel in the gym bathroom.
However, the smell is indeed more and more addictive, and it even makes my appetite a little bigger.
Sitting next to Jiang Qiu, Xing Ge felt a strange itch in her heart, and some repressed evil thoughts began to stir.
However, as Shihua lifted the lids of several dishes on the table, the rich aroma of the food finally suppressed the dangerous smell.
Kikuchi happily raised her glass—
"Cheers to a successful start to the school year!"
"Oh cheers!!"
As numerous cups were raised and clinked together, the crisp sound echoed throughout the living room.
After downing a full glass of sake, Kikuri and Shizuka let out a satisfied sigh.
I really need to have this every day to feel good!
With the restrictions lifted, the two of them didn't linger any longer and immediately picked up their chopsticks to eat their favorite dishes.
However, Toka didn't forget the important matter. While chewing on seaweed, she asked—
"By the way, Jiang Qiu, how did your physical exam go?"
"Did the doctor give you any advice on what medicinal herbs or food to eat to help you recover? Tell me, and I'll make them for you later."
"There are quite a few, let me look for them."
After stuffing a piece of salt and pepper pork rib into her mouth, Jiang Qiu strolled over to the sofa and started rummaging through her backpack.
But when the densely written form was handed to Shihua, her expression clearly changed.
Before she could even ask a few anxious questions, Hiratsuka Shizuka preemptively offered words of reassurance—
"Don't worry, he's fine."
"Because he has some good foundation, we specially made this prescription so that he can improve even more."
"Some of them have a good foundation?"
Xingge's ears immediately perked up.
Hiratsuka Shizuka looked her up and down, then, as if remembering something, offered a pointed explanation.
