Chapter 39 Wingman Deployed
Chapter 39 Wingman Deployed
While Bai Yuze accompanied Iris to the comic convention.
Bai Youqing arrived at the subway station near her apartment complex. Because it was the weekend, there were many people there, and the crowd looked quite dense.
After waiting for two minutes, the subway arrived at the station.
The place was packed with people, but she was lucky enough to snag a seat. A pair of best friends dressed as cosplayers stood not far in front of her, and they were quite excited, their conversation never stopping.
It seems to be describing the Yeqiu City Comic Con event that took place a few days ago.
"Xiao Qing, have you heard? Today, the biggest anime convention since the Black Tide Crisis was held in our Ye Qiu City."
Did you see that live stream too?
"Yeah, the girls in there are so pretty, fair-skinned, beautiful, and with long legs. Look at that pair of twins, they're absolutely stunning. Even I, a girl, am smitten."
Her gaze swept across the scene, and she suddenly realized that the twin stars looked so familiar. Bai Youqing involuntarily stopped and listened quietly.
"Bullshit, you say that to every girl on your phone."
"Hey, look at that cosplayer over there, she's pretty good too."
"She's only good at playing the guqin, but I always feel like she's not a decent person, so I don't like her."
Bai Youqing listened to the conversation only halfway through. She didn't watch much anime and wasn't very interested in the world of anime, but she was very interested in cosplaying girls and boys.
Who doesn't like looking at beautiful women and handsome men?
Before she could even look at her phone, her gaze suddenly fell upon a groping hand slowly approaching the two girls.
Bai Youqing immediately became alert.
As the rough hand drew closer, she prepared to intervene.
Even if she's supposed to get off at the next stop.
However, before Bai Youqing could make a move, the two girls seemed unfazed and pulled out a stun gun from their bag, striking the hand hard.
In the crowd, a man in a suit trembled violently; if there hadn't been so many people around him, he would have collapsed to the ground.
Bai Youqing breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
In recent years, there have been more and more people engaging in such petty theft and despicable acts.
There are various opinions about this online.
First, after being invaded by the monstrous beasts, some humans fell into a state of negativity, and their moral standards declined drastically.
Secondly, the East was densely populated, and people were fleeing to the surrounding countries. Xia was undoubtedly the closest to it, and its culture was similar, so most of its people came over.
Initially, the Kuroshio crisis wasn't too serious, and they couldn't get in even if they wanted to. However, during the third Kuroshio crisis, these petty criminals took the opportunity to sneak in, leading to a severe decline in social morality.
……
In fact, according to Sister Yuyi, the main reason for the decline in social morality is that the gates of the abyss have been opened, and the pervasive abyssal atmosphere can induce the dark side of human hearts and lead people to depravity.
But what is the truth?
That's a matter of opinion.
Bai Youqing left the subway station and walked out of the station.
The weather was as beautiful as ever, with blue skies and white clouds.
The only slightly unpleasant thing was the high temperature. As soon as I got off the subway, it felt like I was being roasted on a grill, my whole body was on fire.
Bai Youqing took out her phone and swiped to her chat with Hoshino-sensei.
"Hoshino-sensei, I've arrived at Shibuji. Is there anything I can bring you?"
My phone vibrated shortly after I sent it.
Hoshino-sensei: "Kyou, you came so fast. That's quite different from your brother's lazy style."
Bai Youqing: "My brother used to be very hardworking. He worked three or four part-time jobs during summer vacations in college, but he started to become lazy after he returned to school."
Hoshino-sensei: "Oh dear, I'm very sorry, it was my perspective that was too one-sided."
Bai Youqing: "No, no, no, Hoshino-sensei, the past is the past, and the present is the present. I still hope that Hoshino-sensei can supervise my brother more and help him regain his fighting spirit, instead of him lying flat like a salted fish without any dreams."
Hoshino-sensei: "Okay, I'll keep a close eye on Shiro-sensei."
Bai Youqing turned off her phone. A few days ago, she realized that her brother had feelings for Hoshino-sensei. As his wingman, how could she not take any action?
Previously, it was about gathering information on Hoshino-sensei.
She put in her best effort for today's on-site inspection.
While gathering intelligence, she also wanted to see what kind of woman could make her brother, who had been single for over twenty years, fall for her.
The other party didn't say what they wanted to buy.
Bai Youqing simply bought some fruit; she couldn't let the first impression be too bad.
While carrying the fruit, I also observed the surrounding scenery and found that the neighborhood was quite beautiful with distinctive architecture. Unlike the modern style of Changhong Road, the buildings here looked somewhat classical.
The air is also very fresh, making it a nice place to live.
However, she couldn't help feeling uneasy. People who could live here were certainly not extremely wealthy, but they had some assets. What if Hoshino-sensei's family didn't approve of her brother?
This kind of situation is quite common in novels.
Forget it, I'll take care of everything. I'll go and find out the situation myself first. If the gap is too big, I'll persuade my brother more.
Alas, she suddenly realized that the burden she was carrying was truly heavy.
He sighed again.
Sigh, there aren't many younger sisters like me anymore.
The journey wasn't far; it only took a few steps to reach Hoshino-sensei's neighborhood.
The air is filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, creating a very elegant scene.
Take the elevator to the floor where Hoshino-sensei is located, and find room number 301.
Bai Youqing didn't rush to knock or ring the doorbell. She first checked the information on her phone and confirmed it several times before pressing the doorbell with peace of mind.
"Is that Xiaoqing?"
"Yes."
The door opened, and Hoshino Seri, wearing a panda pajamas, appeared before them. She waved to Bai Youqing, gesturing for her to come in, her two fluffy ears bobbing on her head.
Bai Youqing's heart melted at the sight.
Hoshino-sensei... is so cute.
"Xiaoqing, you've arrived."
When Hoshino-sensei saw the ponytail-wearing girl in front of the door, her eyes lit up.
The girl, brimming with youthful energy, doesn't seem like the rebellious girl Teacher Xiaobai described at all.
"Sorry to bother you, Hoshino-sensei."
"It's alright, please come in. This is the first time I've invited a classmate to my home."
Hoshino-sensei, wearing black and white panda pajamas, walked ahead, and Bai Youqing followed behind after closing the door.
Hoshino-sensei took a pair of panda-shaped slippers from the shoe rack and handed them to Bai Youqing.
"Wow, so many pandas! Does Hoshino-sensei like pandas too?"
Bai Youqing took the slippers, her tone full of surprise.
Stepping into the living room, everywhere you look—on the sofa, TV cabinet, and coffee table—besides a few small accessories, panda plush toys occupy most of the space.
This shows just how much the other person loves pandas.
"Yes, I came from Dongying City because I love giant pandas."
Hoshino Seri handed the brewed tea to Xiaoqing, who was sitting on the sofa, while Hoshino-sensei, wearing panda pajamas, walked to the sofa, picked up a panda plush toy that was half her height, and rested her head on it.
Bai Youqing was very envious; she also wanted to hug that giant panda plush toy.
"Did Xiaoqing come here to ask about a math problem?"
"Yes."
Bai Youqing shook her head, quickly putting the panda doll out of her mind, almost forgetting the important matter.
She pulled a math workbook out of her bag, which contained carefully selected challenging problems for the college entrance exam. Over the years, her brother had put a lot of pressure on her, and in order not to hold him back, she had developed the habit of self-study.
Although she is only in the second semester of her first year of high school, she has already completed all the math knowledge required for high school.
"Let me see. These questions use knowledge from grades 10 to 12. It's normal that you can't solve them."
As Hoshino-sensei pondered the practice questions, her adorable demeanor suddenly shifted, perfectly transforming her from a gentle, homely young lady into a cold, aloof teacher.
With a solemn and dignified air, the two strands of hair that had been falling over her ears were moved behind them, and her gaze became serious.
"Uh-huh."
Bai Youqing seemed to be captivated by this aura and devoted herself wholeheartedly to her studies.
As the sun rises and sets outside the window, the sunlight continues to stream in and out.
In the blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened.
"Wow, time flies so fast."
Bai Youqing rubbed her slightly sore, fair neck, and her gaze sharpened as she looked out the window. She had arrived in the morning, and now it was already dusk.
