Chapter 108: Where Is the Place of Learning?

Miyase Yaeko sat back down, propping up her foot and saying, "Bring me my shoes."

Qingshan Li actually didn't mind holding them with his hand, but it wasn't a matter of whether he minded or not; he'd be seen as a pervert.

So he pushed the shoes over with his foot.

Looking back, Miyase Yaeko stroked the armrest of the long bench in a caressing manner, a smile on her face.

The armrest was large, but nothing in the world was greater than a man's dignity, so Qingshan Li was still greater.

Qingshan Li walked out of the Student Council Room carrying his bookbag and camera, and immediately deleted all those black photos.

It wasn't that he disliked them; on the contrary, he felt he was very likely to do something bad, which was why he deleted them.

"Taking photos," Qingshan Li mused.

What should he photograph?

Forget it; the warm-up for the Ball Games Tournament didn't start until this afternoon, so he'd go back to the classroom to do homework—no, he'd go to the Library.

Kaimei High School's Library had a large self-study area, with one cubicle per person.

But it was full.

So those people in the classroom weren't the hardest working; they just arrived late and couldn't get a spot?!

Qingshan Li himself wasn't even as good as those people in the classroom!

He took out his armband, then picked up his camera and took a photo of this scene.

It must be exposed!

The Library Committee member had seen Qingshan Li in the Student Council Room and didn't stop him.

Finally, he found an empty seat in the reading area, sat down to do his homework, and looking closely, not everyone nearby was studying; quite a few were doing homework too.

Doing homework definitely didn't count as studying.

Only the parts beyond the basics counted.

Qingshan Li sat down, took out his pen, and started working.

An hour later, his mobile phone vibrated.

【Mikami Ai: Where are you?】

【Qingshan Li: Library】

【Mikami Ai: This kind of place doesn't suit you, come out quickly】

【Qingshan Li: Because of that sentence, no matter what you want from me, I won't leave the Library】

【Mikami Ai: I don't know much about electronic products; I might accidentally send the video of you fighting to your sister and younger sister.】

When a person uses 'accidentally' and 'coincidentally' in a row in one sentence, you'd best take seriously what they said before.

【Qingshan Li: Where are you?】

【Mikami Ai: Weak men lose points】

【Qingshan Li: Afraid of your wife?】

【Mikami Ai: Plus points, but sweet talk loses points】

【Qingshan Li: Only to your wife?】

【Mikami Ai: You haven't done it, because I'm not your wife and won't become your wife, yet you use sweet talk on me】

【Qingshan Li: Yes yes yes, so where should I go? I've already left the Library.】

【Mikami Ai: Sorry】

【Mikami Ai: After finishing reading 'Detective A', I just really wanted to talk to someone and vent my emotions, without meaning to meet you】

【Qingshan Li: いざうごすりがあとま】

【Mikami Ai: I'll give you points】

【Mikami Ai: By the way, about the novel, I still have details to discuss with you】

【Qingshan Li: None of my business!】

【Qingshan Li: It's your business with Miyase Yaeko!】

【Mikami Ai: This book will definitely be a bestseller; I plan to include author interviews with the deluxe edition, collector's edition, and commemorative edition to boost sales】

【Mikami Ai: As compensation, I'll give you points.】

Can these points be exchanged for 'Vampire Bloodline', 'Perfect T-Virus', 'Pistol Infinite Ammo'?

【Mikami Ai: If you have enough points, maybe I really will become your wife】

Liar.

【Mikami Ai: If it's a full score of one hundred, then one hundred and one points will do.】

【Qingshan Li: It seems you're really excited】

【Mikami Ai: After finishing reading 'Detective A', I once again discovered how charming I am】

【Qingshan Li: A novel is a novel, you are you, don't always mix up novel characters and your material collection subjects!】

【Mikami Ai: I just hope that after the book is published, people who know me won't ask me if the novel was written by me.】

Qingshan Li couldn't refute it.

Someone really would ask.

【Qingshan Li: Self-deluded】

But he definitely couldn't admit defeat with his mouth.

【Mikami Ai: Since you've already arrived at the School, I'll set off too; let's meet at the Athens Philosophy Research Club.】

—If this were a manga, Qingshan Li's head would have that symbol.

Yeah, where else is more suitable for studying than the Athens Philosophy Research Club?

With Mikami Ai's personality, even if she were there, she wouldn't affect his studying.

Qingshan Li went to the Teacher's Office to get the keys,

Akita Shio was not there; the Sports Teacher who was secretly scrolling TikTok and liking posts from a middle-aged beautiful woman had no suspicion at all.

About two hours later, Mikami Ai arrived at the Athens Philosophy Research Club.

The noise when she entered the door did not bring Qingshan Li back to his senses while he was doing homework; only when she approached and he smelled a faint fragrance did he realize she had come.

"So fast." Qingshan Li said.

"Good afternoon, Classmate Aoyama." Mikami Ai sat down, "A man who waited two hours and still thinks the woman is fast—I don't know whether to call him well-mannered or abnormal."

"A woman who was two hours late and still mocked the man—I think it's definitely the latter, what do you think?"

Mikami Ai took out her familiar thermos.

She glanced at Qingshan Li across from her: "Although our relationship has grown closer, you have not officially returned to the Athens Philosophy Research Club yet, so I can't let you drink."

"The reason you let me drink before wasn't because it was too hard to drink?" Qingshan Li countered.

"That's truly rude; at least one-third is because we belong to the same club, and you've made quite a few contributions."

Just like that, it was only one-third.

"I came to school so early because I couldn't participate in the Ball Games Tournament and joined the Student Council; why did you come here so early?" Qingshan Li asked curiously.

"I want to publish 'Detective A' as soon as possible; you should understand this feeling, right?"

"It doesn't matter; I won't get a single cent anyway."

"You were so generous when selling the copyright before, and now you're being difficult?" Mikami Ai laughed, "Regardless, you need to cooperate with me."

"Fine, fine, let's get it over with quickly." Qingshan Li waited with his arms crossed.

"Wait a moment." Mikami Ai took out her mobile phone and opened the recording function.

She looked at Qingshan Li, about to cross her arms and ask questions, but seeing he had already crossed his arms in advance, she had to give up.

In fact, Qingshan Li had not previously had the habit of crossing his arms; he learned it from her.

"First question, why did you start writing novels?" Mikami Ai asked.

"I needed money."

"When chatting with me, you weren't very interesting? Answering these questions can be interesting too; truth or falsehood is secondary."

"You find chatting with me interesting?" Qingshan Li examined her.

"The publisher president's encouragement to the author, you can't tell?" Mikami Ai, holding a teacup, glanced at him with a look as if he were an idiot.

"Understood, please ask the question again."

"Why did you start writing novels?" After asking, Mikami Ai sipped her tea.

"Don't you all have this feeling: going out, walking very far, only to suddenly remember that the door at home seems not to have been closed—ever since I first read detective novels, I've had this feeling."

"For me, writing novels is returning to close the door; it's not that I want to write, but that I have to write."

Mikami Ai's lips left the teacup: "Where did you copy the material from?"

"Who exactly is being rude?!"

"Second question, the Detective A in the novel is perfect; after reading it, one cannot help but fall in love with her; have you met such a person in reality?" Mikami Ai asked.

Qingshan Li fell into thought.

"What's wrong?"

No good.

Completely no good.

Mikami Ai this person also affects his studies.
