Chapter 12 Turmoil

The summer sky is a clear blue with fluffy white clouds.

As the cicadas' chirping shattered against the glass window, Yui Yuigahama was stealing glances at her new seatmate.

The morning light was streaming down Su Qing's brow bone.

His knuckles, supporting his chin, pressed down on half a page of notes, his eyelashes casting shadows resembling meticulous brushstrokes beneath his eyes.

In a daze, Yui Yuigahama felt that the boy's eyes were shining, as if they contained another galaxy.

Is he spacing out?

What might they be thinking?

In our youth, we always encounter one or two people whose every smile and frown captivates our hearts.

The girl couldn't understand it at all. Bored, she rested her chin on her hand, her ruby-like eyes filled with curiosity.

Besides Yui Yuigahama, another woman was also quietly observing Su Qing.

Hmm... that's definitely Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Only those who have stood on the podium know how good the view is from up there; you can see almost everything the little things people do below.

Not to mention that Su Qing was sitting in a seat near the front.

How dare you daydream on your first day of my class?

Although I don't know what he's thinking, it's obvious he's not paying attention in class!

"Okay, now we'll pick one student to answer a question."

"Su, you're the one."

After saying that, Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately regretted it.

Su Qing is a transfer student, and perhaps because she is new here, she has not yet adapted to the environment.

If I ask him to answer a question so arbitrarily, and he can't answer it, wouldn't I be deliberately embarrassing him?

But we've already called...

Eh? Got it!

Why not just ask a simpler question?

"Let me briefly explain what the saying 'At thirty, one stands firm; at forty, one is free from doubt... and does not overstep the bounds' means!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was secretly pleased, praising herself for her cleverness.

This simple translation was practically a freebie for the students at this school.

Just these past two days, with the launch of Chang'e 6, many netizens have been saying that the so-called "thirty and established" means that when your missile speed reaches Mach 30, other countries have to stand up.

At forty, one is no longer perplexed: a nation with a Mach 40 will not be confused by war.

At fifty, one knows the will of Heaven; at fifty Mach, the whole world knows who is the one who commands Heaven.

At sixty, one's ears are attuned to all things; when the speed reaches Mach 60, all I hear are pleasant words.

At seventy, I can do whatever I want without overstepping the bounds. Once I reach speeds of Mach 70, I can do whatever I want without following any rules!

This is complete chaos!

Returning to student life wasn't as wonderful as I'd imagined.

At least that's true for Su Qing.

Everything now is just a replay of the past; it's meaningless, but it doesn't really matter.

It's just a bit... boring.

Su Qing stood up and said calmly:

A simple translation would be something like this:

At thirty, one establishes their life direction and stands on their own in society based on etiquette, career, and values.

At forty, one has a clear understanding of the world and of oneself, and is no longer confused or lost.

……

At seventy: behavior and morality are seamlessly integrated; freedom is tempered with discipline, meaning morality is internalized as the foundation.

Shizuka Hiratsuka:?

Yui Yuigahama: ?

The whole class: ? ? ?

Damn, you call this easy? Your translation is quite different from what we learned in translation.

The entire audience was stunned, and everyone gasped. Hiss... Could this be the correct version? So what we've been learning all along has been wrong?

There's no other reason than that it really does sound very reasonable, and Su Qing himself, as a Chinese, has a very high level of persuasiveness.

Add to that his matter-of-fact tone and handsome profile... Turns out, we've been learning the wrong things, haven't we?!

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded slightly, gesturing for Su Qing to sit down.

But then I started to think.

……

After class. In the office.

"Su Qing, how have you been these past few days? How are you getting along with your classmates?"

"It's alright. The classmates are all very friendly, and I have a pretty good impression of this class."

In Japanese schools, class stratification and bullying are common occurrences. Even Soubu High School, which is very strict about these issues, cannot guarantee that such incidents will never happen. In particular, people like Su Qing, with their special status and handsome appearance, are more likely to attract trouble. Hiratsuka Shizuka expressed concern about this.

However, judging from Su Qing's performance in class today, she felt inexplicably relieved.

"Okay, that's good. If anything happens, be sure to tell me, okay? Your teacher will do her best to help you."

Really? Can the teacher really do everything? Su Qing thought to herself, not daring to voice her true feelings.

"Thank you for your help, Hiratsuka-sensei."

Su Qing replied solemnly, her eyes filled with respect for Professor Hiratsuka Shizuka.

It's really hard not to feel fond of a young, beautiful teacher who is so considerate of you and has a great figure.

Somewhat surprised by Su Qing's reaction, as it was the first time she had seen Su Qing act this way, but she felt a strange sense of satisfaction. Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't think too much about it, only feeling great and puffing out her chest.

Whether it was her imagination or not, Su Qing felt as if something had shaken twice.

"Also, you can check out any clubs that interest you. Even though it's the second semester, there are still quite a few clubs that need members."

Clubs? Need more members? I know those well.

The senior female members of the club... oh no, I mean, when they recruit, they say, "Our club is short of guys," which sounds alluring... but when you actually join, you realize, "Yeah, our club really is short of guys to do the work," sadly...

This is valuable advice from Su Qing's roommates when she was in college: be careful not to be scammed.

Su Qing remained calm. Japan's education system places great importance on extracurricular activities. Many universities consider extracurricular activities as a significant factor when evaluating grades, not just test scores.

However, Soubu Higher Academy does not require students to participate in clubs, which is probably to take care of students from poor families who choose to work part-time.

Back in the classroom, Su Qing felt that the atmosphere in the class was a bit off, as if... everyone was looking at her?

Not paying much attention, Su Qing returned to her seat and sat down. Just as she was about to read a book, a sound came from behind her.

A girl of average appearance was pushed forward by her companions. Her face was a little red, and she was stammering as she spoke.

"Hey Su Qingjun, you haven't joined our class chat group yet. Give me your email and I'll add you in!"

As she spoke her last words, the girl lowered her head, as if she had used all her strength.

Why does asking for an "e" sound like a confession? Su Qing was puzzled, thinking it was nothing. Anyway, he usually sets his messages to "Do Not Disturb" when adding people he doesn't know well as friends. He doesn't like message pop-ups. That's just how it is for office workers.

"Yes, of course." Su Qing took out her phone, just about to open e... open... e? What's e? I thought she wanted a QQ number and a WeChat number.

e is a mainstream chat and social networking application in Japan. Su Qing then remembered that he hadn't had time to download this e app yet, and he had even given Shiina Mahiru her phone number directly.

"Um...sorry, I haven't logged off yet. I'll add you after I log off, okay?"

Su Qing said.

The woman seemed a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, she realized that someone as good (and handsome) as Su Qing wouldn't deceive her. She said "okay" and went back.

The classroom atmosphere returned to normal. Sure enough, they were all watching the show just now, weren't they?

Su Qing felt offended. Sure enough, I can allow myself to enjoy the gossip, but I can't tolerate others enjoying my gossip.

PS: I've reached 3 words. It seems like I could be on a reading list for when I'm out of ideas, but it doesn't seem to be of much use. I'm running out of inspiration. I'll keep writing, though. I wonder how much more I can write.

Chapter 13 Visiting Clubs

"Xiaoqing, that's so mean! How can you reject a girl like that?"

Seeing the girl leave looking somewhat dejected, Yui Yuigahama couldn't help but comment.

"That's not the case. Software like e isn't used in mainland China, so I really don't have it."

Su Qing looked at the girl pointing and whispering at him and found it somewhat amusing. For some reason, he wanted to pull her into his arms and rub the little bun on her head.

"Huh?! So you really don't have an 'e'?" Yui Yuigahama was shocked. Her naturally naive personality prevented her from thinking that much about it; she thought it was some new trendy way of rejecting someone.

After all, in Japan, saying you don't have an emoji is about the same as saying you don't have money when you go out to eat; people will most likely just think you're messing with them.

So, Yui Yuigahama was shocked and ashamed. Kiyoshi was really honest!

Wait, there's no 'e'? Doesn't that mean...?

If there were special effects, it would probably be like light bulbs popping out of Yui Yui's head. Hey~ I have a great idea~

"Xiao Qing~" Yui Yuigahama suddenly smiled mischievously and leaned closer to Su Qing in an extremely cute tone.

"Hey, what's wrong? Get to the point." Su Qing was quite frightened. Why was she acting like this all of a sudden? Was she having an attack?

"Xiao Qing is so fierce! That's right, give me your phone and I'll help you download e~" After saying that, Yui Yuigahama grabbed one of Su Qing's arms and shook it hard, while looking at Su Qing pitifully with her big, watery eyes.

Su Qing felt a little uneasy under their gazes. Although they were cute and had a strong allure, this was a public place!

Taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking, she quickly pulled her arm away, took out her phone, and turned her head away, saying, "Take it, take it. It's no big deal. We thought you were up to something. There are so many people watching..."

"Hehehe," Yui Yuigahama was happy to receive the phone, but hearing so many people around made her a little shy. A blush spread across her delicate face, making her look charming and lovely.

How could I have done such a thing? Wasn't I being incredibly shameless? Would Xiaoqing think I was too easy? But... was he saying that it's okay if there are fewer people?

No, no, Yui, you can't just give it away for nothing!

……

A short while later, Yui Yuigahama downloaded e in no time and then called Su Qing to create his account. Su Qing didn't think much of it, filled in the information casually, used "Qing" as his ID, and used a picture of a panda eating bamboo that he found online as his profile picture.

"Hey, Xiaoqing, do you like pandas?"

"Well, it's alright. After all, it's our country's national treasure. I hope I can be reborn as a panda in my next life, then I'll never have to worry about food and clothing."

Su Qing shrugged and replied indifferently.

"Pfft, turning into a panda or something? That's a bit of an exaggeration! Go tell me which zoo you're going to, and I'll make sure to feed you every day!"

Su Qing was surprised, unsure whether to marvel at the girl's extravagance or her thought process, and joked, "Hey, why don't you just take me home and raise me?"

"Ah! This... Xiaoqing, is that what you were thinking? It's not impossible... but I still need to ask Mom and Dad..." The girl blushed instantly, turning into a steam engine, and stammered, her voice growing softer and softer.

I must have been joking, Su Qing thought, gaining a deeper understanding of the girl's personality.

However, seeing Yui's bewildered expression, Su Qing felt a strange kind of cuteness about her.

So, Su Qing gave Yui a righteous chop, and Yui escaped from the chaos. Only then did she remember what she was supposed to do, so she quickly took out her phone and scanned Su Qing's phone.

"Hehe, add an 'e', ​​since I'm your first friend in Japan. If I don't add it, I doubt anyone will, and you'll be too pathetic."

Yui Yuigahama was in a great mood after adding "e" and said smugly.

Damn it, someone just asked me for this, don't you know that? What's with this arrogant attitude?

Su Qing remained composed, but expressed her gratitude verbally: "Thank you so much."

……

After school in the afternoon, Su Qing did not rush home, but instead chose to visit the club.
