He picked up his phone and saw that both Ba and Mei had sent him messages. He had left his phone in the bedroom when he came back, so he hadn't noticed.
"What did those two girls send me this time?"
Qiu Bai muttered to himself, a hint of curiosity in his heart, and then clicked on Ba's message.
[Ba: Teacher Qiubai, you performed as brilliantly as ever today. When are you free in the afternoons these days? Would we like to go shopping together? (Looking forward to it...jpg)]
She added a cute emoji to the end of her sentence.
Going shopping? Does this count as asking me out on a date?
[Qiu Bai: Well... if needed, it's possible to work in the afternoons when there's no work, but... it'll cost extra.]
If there's an opportunity to make money, why not take it?
Moreover, for nobles like Yueba, money is just a string of numbers; they can have as much as they want.
[Baro: No problem, Akihachi, you can have as much as you want... You have 500 million yen in allowance this month, you can spend it however you like.]
Monthly allowance?
That's really not human language.
Even if you had a month, you wouldn't have this much!
If you wish...it's 500,000 yen per day.
Qiu Bai pondered to himself.
These top-tier nobles also made Qiu Bai marvel at their immense wealth...
Qiu Bai: I'm genuinely envious of your wealth.
[Baro: Oh dear, but... if Qiu Bai could be my husband, then all of Ru Yue's family's assets would be yours~]
Qiu Bai looked at what Ba Suo had said, and it was indeed tempting.
[Qiu Bai: To marry into the family?]
[Ba: Hehe... After all, I'm a nobleman. As you know, Teacher Qiu Bai, the only way for an ordinary person to enter a noble family is through marriage.]
Qiu Bai was slightly speechless. If he really wanted to marry into Ruyue's family, he would still have to get past her family's approval.
After all, the marriages of nobles are decided by the older generation, and it's impossible for Ruyueba to marry whomever she wants.
This involves many interests.
"Sigh... Kisaragi, that little girl is still too naive."
Qiu Bai didn't want to cause too much trouble right now, so he ignored Ba and looked at another contact.
He decided to see what Misao had sent him...
[Misaki: Thank you so much for your guidance today, teacher. I feel so much more relaxed now. I'm sure I'll win the championship in tomorrow's competition!]
[Qiu Bai: I'm glad I could help you.]
Akihaku actually had a good impression of this beautiful cherry blossom.
After all, he entered a prestigious school as a commoner, which sounds very inspiring.
[Mi-o: Um... after the competition, if I win, I wonder if I could ask Mr. Akihachi to go shopping with me for some clothes... or something~]
Qiu Bai could tell at a glance that this girl also wanted to ask him out!
However, if I actually win the award, it wouldn't be a problem to go out with her...
"Yes, we still need to reassure her before the exam."
Qiu Bai murmured to himself as he continued typing.
Qiu Bai: Okay, I promise you.
When students win awards, I, as their teacher, always feel obligated to give them some kind of reward.
This is actually quite normal.
[Misaki: Hehe, it's a deal then!]
Qiu Bai: It's a promise.
Qiu Bai looked at the message in front of him and let out a soft breath.
There's one more thing to do.
"I wonder if the two of them could arrange to meet up together; that would be much more convenient."
He looked at the ever-growing number of contacts on his phone, rested his head on the pillow, and smiled faintly.
Chapter 160 Secretly
The next day, as soon as Qiu Bai opened his eyes, he felt a familiar scent in the room—it was Youxi's scent.
"Ok?"
He couldn't help but feel a little strange. Had Yuki been here before?
But looking around, there was no one in the entire room, let alone Yuki.
The room was so quiet that you could hear sparrows pecking at food outside the window.
Qiu Bai shook his still somewhat heavy head, confirming that the aura transmitted through his five senses was exceptionally clear.
Qiu Bai's five senses are much stronger now, and he doesn't think his perception is wrong.
He pondered for a moment, then got out of bed.
pat.
The moment my foot touched the ground, a hand suddenly emerged from under the bed.
"Wow——"
A familiar voice suddenly appeared, seemingly trying to scare Qiu Bai.
Qiu Bai calmly looked down, and there was Youxi.
"Yuki, you..."
He lowered his hand and pinched her little head that was peeking out from under the bed.
Qiu Bai wasn't scared at all, after all, he had expected this; Yu Xi really was just like a little kid.
"Hehe... Not scared? Did you get caught?"
Yuki crawled out from under the bed; she was quite agile.
She stood in front of Qiu Bai, patted her clothes, and was still wearing her mesh pajamas.
"That's strange... I was so careful, how did Onii-chan still find out?"
Yuki complained that her carefully prepared prank had failed, and she was naturally a little disappointed.
Qiu Bai looked at her and smiled helplessly.
"How could a brother be scared by his sister?"
Qiu Bai brought it up as a matter of course, casually shrugging his shoulders.
"Hmm..." Yuki pouted, but then a strange smile appeared on her face. She looked down at the area under Qiu Bai's bed and said, "Qiu Bai, speaking of which... under your bed~"
Her words carried a lingering quality, as if they held a deeper meaning.
"Under the bed..."
Qiu Bai seemed to remember something.
Under the bed
Isn't that the magic cup I bought right there?
This little girl is hiding under the bed, could it be that she's discovered something?
The thought popped into Qiu Bai's mind, and his head went numb.
"Hehe, I know~ Onii-chan needs to vent sometimes, I'll keep it a secret~"
Yuki stuck out her tongue, raised her hand to her lips, and looked like she knew everything.
Qiu Bai rubbed his forehead, feeling he should have gotten up earlier today; he had actually been caught red-handed by this little girl.
Oh well, she's my own sister anyway...
Could it possibly harm itself?
"Ah~ha~"
Qiu Bai yawned, stretched, and then looked at Youxi beside him, asking, "What's for breakfast today?"
"Breakfast... I heard from Mikan that they're making fried chicken and pizza this morning~" Yuki said, swallowing hard.
She looks just like a little glutton.
"Hmm...that sounds good too~"
Qiu Bai nodded slightly, then said to You Xi, "Have you washed up? Why don't we go together?"
"Hey... I've already washed, but it's okay to wash again so I can be with Onii-chan~" Yuki said, hugging Akihachi's arm, her smile incredibly sweet.
Qiu Bai didn't mind at all; on the contrary, he quite enjoyed his younger sister sticking to him.
"Alright, fine, you can come along if you want."
He then walked outside.
……
As usual, I went out after breakfast in the morning.
Qiu Bai arrived at the guidance office, but Yu Xi, who had been clinging to Qiu Bai all morning, also came to the guidance office with him.
Besides, Mikan is in the elementary school section...
However, the primary school and the high school are only separated by a path lined with sycamore trees, which is not far, so she came along to take a look as well.
"Is this Qiu Bai's office?"
Mikan paused at the doorway, her gaze sweeping lightly over the interior furnishings. She walked slowly to the sofa, her fingertips gently tracing the grille of the air conditioner vent. After a two-second pause, she spoke:
"Turning on the air conditioner in the summer... might be quite nice."
Sunlight filtered through the collar of her school uniform, creating a pale gold border. Her ponytail hung down her shoulders, like a fish still in clear water.
Yuki sat on the sofa, reading manga as usual, and echoed Mikan's words:
"Indeed, it's great that I can invite Qiu Bai over to play anytime now~ Plus, there are computers here, so I can watch anime~"
She had a smug look on her face and seemed quite happy.
Qiu Bai's fingers tapped randomly on the keyboard, his eyes darting across the screen. Suddenly, he glanced at the two women beside him, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Shouldn't you all go back to your classrooms? If any students come looking for me, I still have to work."
After all, when students come to me for guidance, it's just because they're seeking my advice. It would be so embarrassing if the two of them found out.
Mikan and Yuki haven't formed a contract yet, so it's best to avoid anything that might cause them to lose favor.
"makes sense."
Mikan didn't think this was unreasonable. She looked at Yuki beside her and said, "Yuki, since it's Akihachi's work time now, let's go back to the classroom first."
"Tch~" Yuki pouted, got off the sofa, looked at Akihaku next to her, and shouted, "Onii-chan, I'll come find you after school."
After she finished speaking, she went out with Mikan.
After the two left the room, Qiu Bai was left alone, and the surroundings became extremely quiet.
However, in this environment, Qiu Bai actually relaxed a little. Looking at the sun shining in through the window, Qiu Bai felt a touch of warmth.
"Phew..." He exhaled softly, then muttered to himself, "The weather is nice, maybe I should take another nap."
As Qiu Bai spoke, he put on his headphones, put on some music, lay down on the gaming chair, and fell asleep.
……
Just as Qiu Bai was fast asleep, a young girl tiptoed into the office and quietly walked in.
