Chapter 179: Amusement Park Date
The bell for the last period on Friday rang.
"Stand up, bow."
As the class representative, Chidori Kaname led the students in bowing to send off the teacher as usual.
"Finally over. Tomorrow is another happy weekend."
"Where are you guys planning to go for the weekend?"
"Probably stay home and play games..."
"What a boring life. You should try going out and picking up girls occasionally."
"Get lost, you normie."
Having finished a week of studies, the students felt exceptionally relaxed at this moment, gathering in twos and threes to discuss their weekend plans.
"Shihe, do you have plans for the weekend? Want to go out and play together?"
Chidori Kaname asked Shihe at the next desk. After a week of getting along, her address for Shihe had become much closer.
Shihe, who was packing her schoolbag, was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and smiled, "Sorry, I already have plans."
It wasn't that she resisted going out to play with Chidori and the others; after a week of getting along, she had started to adapt to this somewhat noisy but very leisurely school life, which felt unexpectedly relaxing.
It was just that she really had an appointment for the weekend; after all, she had promised a certain idiot that they would go to the amusement park.
"I see."
Chidori Kaname felt a bit regretful, then showed a curious expression and gossiped, "I'm curious, who do you have plans with?"
"I'm curious too."
Kyoko popped up from somewhere, resting her head on Shihe's desk, ─━_─━?
Chidori Kaname simultaneously ─━_─━?
Facing this question and everyone's inquisitive gazes, Shihe felt a bit tricky.
Even though it was just a disguised identity, the feeling of a student and teacher dating was still a bit subtle.
"You guys are overthinking it; I'm just going to the amusement park with family."
Shihe pretended to be calm and explained.
"That's a pity. Let's make plans next time we have a chance."
Chidori Kaname and Kyoko simultaneously showed an "I see" expression.
Shihe breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, then packed her bag and left her seat.
She didn't see Chidori Kaname and Kyoko exchange a glance behind her, showing a look of having reached some kind of tacit understanding.
The next day, Saturday.
Shihe got up early, washed up in the bathroom attached to the master bedroom, and changed into the casual clothes that Nami had helped pick out before she came.
Leaving her room, she saw Li Boyong, wearing an apron, just placing two breakfasts on the dining table.
"Morning, Shihe."
Li Boyong greeted Shihe, then stared at Shihe's outfit, showing an intoxicated look.
My Shihe really looks good in anything. It's just a pity she doesn't have the habit of wearing makeup; perhaps the rationality of a soldier and researcher makes her feel that makeup is just a waste of time.
But a naturally beautiful Coordinator has the qualification to be willful.
"Don't stare straight at me. It's not our first date; I really don't understand why you look so excited."
Shihe flicked Li Boyong's forehead in annoyance, then sat in her seat.
Only the slightly curled corners of her mouth betrayed that she was actually quite pleased with Li Boyong's gaze.
"After all, it's a date in a peaceful society. It gives me the feeling that I can finally date to my heart's content."
Li Boyong untied his apron, revealing the slightly flashy casual clothes underneath, implying something.
Shihe ignored him and started eating, but her slightly red cheeks clearly showed she understood what Li Boyong was hinting at.
Li Boyong smiled and started eating as well.
Although Li Boyong couldn't cook a decent meal, a simple Western-style breakfast of bacon, toast, and fried eggs with milk was no problem.
*Crunch*, Li Boyong took a bite of the fried egg.
Alright, it was a bit burnt.
After finishing breakfast, the two went out together.
Passing by Li Boyong's original unit, he seemed to hear some suppressed laughter coming from inside.
Li Boyong knocked hard on the door as a warning.
Seriously, he had been too indulgent with these guys lately.
Driving a small sedan suitable for urban use, the two headed straight for the destination of today's date—Amagi Brilliant Park.
Harboring a certain curiosity, he chose this amusement park with a somewhat familiar name as the date location.
But the facts proved that it was just a coincidence that the names were the same.
There was no manager who used to be a child star, no secretary who could pull a flintlock pistol from under her skirt at any time, and certainly no gorgeous castle with a cursed loli princess inside.
It was just a very common, ordinary large amusement park.
Except for a strange bear mascot wearing a green hat that looked somewhat similar, it had nothing in common with that Amagi Brilliant Park.
Holding hands with Shihe, enjoying the envious gazes of the men around them, playing happily on various amusement facilities, forcibly stealing a bite of the crepe Shihe was eating, and then being fiercely pinched on the tender flesh of his waist.
A certain man who shouted that he wanted Shihe to relax and experience a peaceful daily life was also playing quite enthusiastically and thoroughly.
Then, Li Boyong and Shihe, who were having fun, simultaneously noticed the clumsy tailing behind them.
The two exchanged a glance, performed an anti-tailing maneuver at a corner, and then moved to another corner to observe the tailers.
Although both of their primary professions were pilots, during their time in Amalgam, they had also learned some tracking and anti-tracking techniques from the mercenaries under them.
A moment later, the clumsy tailers entered their field of vision.
"Is this... Chidori Kaname and her little sidekick?"
Although Chidori Kaname and Kyoko had made simple disguises, Li Boyong and Shihe recognized them at first glance.
The two exchanged a glance, somewhat surprised.
They didn't expect to be followed by students from the school...
But why would these two girls do such a thing?
Li Boyong couldn't quite figure it out.
"Those two seem curious about my weekend plans. I didn't expect them to do something like tailing."
Shihe covered her forehead and sighed, explaining.
So that was it...
Li Boyong let out an "Oh," indicating he understood.
Then he teased with a grin, "Popular people are just popular."
Shihe pinched Li Boyong's waist lightly in anger and said in annoyance, "The point to focus on now is how long they've been following us and whether they recognized you."
When she put it that way, Li Boyong finally reacted.
That was true; it didn't seem like a good thing to be discovered that a teacher and student were dating at an amusement park.
But... didn't he specifically create the teacher-student identity to find this kind of excitement?
"It's just a disguised identity; it doesn't matter if it's discovered." Li Boyong comforted her, "And based on the personalities of those two girls, they probably wouldn't go around blabbing even if they found out."
"I hope so..." Shihe let go of Li Boyong's waist, "So what do we do now?"
Just as the two were hesitating about whether they should leave the amusement park, Chidori Kaname and Kyoko were also hesitating about what to do next.
Out of curiosity, the two had followed them on a whim.
After all, Shihe's reaction yesterday clearly looked like she was going on a date with a lover.
They were both very curious about what kind of man could pick this high-peak flower of Jindai High School.
As a result, the two, who had been lying in ambush near Shihe's apartment early in the morning, saw from afar that Shihe got into a car with a very flashy-looking man.
That man was clearly of working age. Worried that Shihe was being deceived and driven by curiosity, the two began to follow.
It was just a pity that tailing was full of accidents from the start. First, they didn't expect Shihe to have a car. Completely unprepared, Chidori Kaname and Kyoko lost Shihe's trail immediately.
Later, Chidori Kaname judged that Shihe might have gone to this Amagi Amusement Park based on the direction the car left and the location of the nearby amusement park.
With great difficulty, the two finally found Shihe and the flashy man again in the sea of people at the amusement park, but they lost them again after a while.
"In the end, we still couldn't find out who that man was."
Chidori Kaname scratched her hair in frustration and hissed, "I always feel that man's figure seems familiar, but I can never remember."
Thanks to Li Boyong's flashy fashion sense, Chidori Kaname and Kyoko, whose tailing operation wasn't going well, didn't recognize that the man dating Shihe was the school's new Modern Chinese teacher.
"What should we do, Kana-chan? Should we keep looking?" Kyoko asked.
Looking at the sea of people around, Chidori Kaname gave up the idea of continuing to follow, "Forget it, if we keep going, we'll really become stalkers."
After a pause, Chidori Kaname continued, "And as long as the person involved feels happy, that's fine. It's just that as good friends, we have to care a bit. Next week, we can try to ask around indirectly. What if that flashy man, who doesn't look like a good thing, is actually deceiving Shihe's feelings and already has a family?"
The more Chidori Kaname talked, the more she felt her guess was very likely, and she was quite shaken.
"Hey, hey, you're already talking nonsense."
Kyoko complained in a low voice.
On the other side, Li Boyong and Shihe finally decided to leave the amusement park first.
It was just that under Li Boyong's guidance, the two walked into a small alley after leaving the amusement park.
Looking at the signs for love hotels all around, Shihe's face turned red.
She struggled lightly against the hand Li Boyong was holding tightly, but didn't break free. ===== CHAPTER 180 =====
