Chapter 406

"Good morning, Classmate Jia He."

At this moment.

He recalled Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui's request from last night and asked:

"By the way, Classmate Jia He, I have a classmate who also lives in your apartment building."

"Her mother is one of the apartment's resident representatives and said she wanted to contact you new residents to facilitate community affairs in the future, but never had a chance to run into you. She knows I know you, so she wanted to ask if you could leave some contact information?"

Jia He Ling Xiao listened and subconsciously scratched her slightly reddened cheek with her finger, explaining shyly:

"My family members are indeed very busy with work, leaving early and returning late... it's indeed hard to run into neighbors."

"If your classmate needs it, I have no problem with it."

Saying this.

Jia He Ling Xiao took out her phone from her pocket, her movements appearing somewhat shy and hesitant, stammering:

"... Brother Natsume, you can just add my LINE directly; I'll send you my home contact number, and you... you can forward it to your classmate, is that okay?"

Natsume Chikage nodded readily:

"Mm, that's convenient."

Saying this.

The two took out their phones and added each other's contact information.

Natsume Ruri asked curiously:

"Brother, who is this classmate you mentioned?"

Natsume Chikage explained while operating his phone:

"It's Classmate Fujiwara."

"She and Classmate Jia He are now residents of the same apartment building."

Natsume Ruri understood, even feeling somewhat surprised:

"Senior Fujiwara actually lives in the same apartment building as Ling Xiao-chan? What a coincidence."

Jia He Ling Xiao blinked, a trace of confusion appearing on her face.

After all, she had only moved in for one day and indeed had no impression of the neighbors.

And Natsume Chikage didn't hesitate; after getting the contact information, he immediately forwarded it to Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui via LINE.

The other side also replied quickly, sending a happy 'o(￣▽￣)ｄ' emoji.

After finishing these trivial matters.

He put his phone back into his pocket.

At this moment.

The train Natsume Chikage was to take pulled into the platform first, stopping steadily with a gust of wind pressure.

The carriage door slid open, and there were already many passengers inside.

Xuecun Lingyin, who was standing by the door, habitually looked up toward the platform.

When she discovered that Natsume Chikage was outside the car, talking to his sister and another... "high school girl" Jia He Ling Xiao, whose physical development was impossible to ignore, her pair of cold eyes instantly narrowed.

Especially after her gaze swept over Jia He Ling Xiao's proud curves that were completely inconsistent with her age, she couldn't help but, almost instinctively, look down and quickly glance at her own physique, which was still green and budding.

Immediately, her eyes narrowed even more, like a cat that had detected an unknown variable in its territory.

Natsume Chikage said goodbye to the two:

"Ruri, Classmate Jia He, I'm leaving first."

Natsume Ruri waved:

"Brother, be careful on the road, bye-bye."

Jia He Ling Xiao remained shy, her small hand shaking slightly in front of her, and that part also shook with the movement, her voice weak:

"Brother Natsume... bye-bye."

Natsume Chikage was slightly silent, then turned and stepped into the carriage.

And Xuecun Lingyin had already withdrawn that cold gaze, which carried scrutiny, from "Jia He Ling Xiao," and instead focused, with narrowed eyes, on Natsume Chikage who had just boarded.

However, the moment Natsume Chikage approached, she saw his face at close range and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, a trace of hard-to-capture fluctuation flashing in her cold eyes.

When she discovered that Natsume Chikage was looking toward her side and walking straight toward the position where she was standing, she hurriedly looked away toward the window, pretending to look at the platform's billboard.

Natsume Chikage stood naturally by the handrail beside her and greeted her politely.

"Morning, Classmate Xuecun."

Xuecun Lingyin, upon hearing this, had to move her gaze back, landing on Natsume Chikage's face, and responded with feigned calmness, though her tone was half a beat faster than usual:

"Morning... Natsume-kun."

After finishing.

She remained silent for quite a while; in the brief stillness before the train started, her gaze drifted involuntarily toward Jia He Ling Xiao outside the window again, hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't help asking in a chatty tone:

"I remember your sister attends the Sacred Heart Academy Junior High Division, and that school seems to have a high school division too."

"So, the one beside your sister... is she her senior from the high school division?"

A strange smile, carrying a trace of emotion, appeared on Natsume Chikage's face:

"You really guessed wrong on that one."

"To tell you the truth, my initial thought was the same as yours. But I asked my sister and found out."

"She is my sister's classmate, just... she grew up quite tall, so she might not look like it at first glance."

A clear question mark appeared on Xuecun Lingyin's face, which was rare:

"Huh?"

"She is your sister's... classmate?"

"But... I remember your sister is only in the second year of junior high, right?"

"Doesn't that mean she is also only in the second year of junior high?!"

Natsume Chikage was silent and nodded:

"Yes."

As soon as the words fell.

Xuecun Lingyin almost instinctively looked down at her own chest again, then quickly looked up at the figure outside the window, the whole person seemingly instantly petrified, falling into a huge cognitive shock.

You... call this a junior high student?!

And Natsume Chikage's gaze couldn't help but follow the trajectory of her movement just now, subconsciously glancing, and reciting in his heart.

'2K...'

Because of this, he could fully understand Xuecun Lingyin's shock.

After all, when he first saw Jia He Ling Xiao, he also truly... thought she was a high school student, thinking it was reasonable for a high school student to occasionally have such a physique.

But a junior high student... although he didn't understand, in short, he was greatly shocked.

And at this moment.

Xuecun Lingyin also seemed to keenly detect that a subtle gaze had just swept over her, instantly turning her head toward Natsume Chikage, her eyes becoming sharp.

Natsume Chikage immediately turned his head to the other side, pretending to have a strong interest in the advertisement poster on the ceiling of the carriage, his expression focused as if he were studying some academic paper.

Xuecun Lingyin narrowed her eyes, staring tightly at Natsume Chikage's side profile like a vigilant cat, trying to find some flaw in his subtle expression changes.

But after watching for several seconds, the other party remained in a frank state of "I don't know anything," and she could only give up in the end, secretly curling her lips, and letting it go.

School.

On the cherry blossom path.

Cherry blossoms were flying.

But compared to before, they seemed much fewer.

Many female students walking toward the teaching building couldn't help but secretly, or openly, cast their gazes toward Natsume Chikage walking among them.

Xuecun Lingyin, walking side by side with him, could clearly feel these gazes coming from all directions.

As for the reason, she could probably guess a few points...

Yue Dao Lin, who had also just arrived at school not long ago, naturally discovered these two in the crowd.

Her intellectual and beautiful face couldn't help but puff up slightly, and she pursed her lips.

These past few days, it seems she always sees Xuecun Lingyin and Natsume Chikage going to school together?

Even though they are members of the same club.

But going to school together continuously, isn't that a bit... too ambiguous?
