[ENG] Tokyo Love Accident 《东京爱情事故》

Chapter 3 : Approaching Slowly

Wei Xiao remains calm since she learned that Xu Tianci is Shi Yuquan's teacher. Knowing his whereabouts, he can't just disappear.

The school Shi Yuquan currently attends is Asano Japanese Language School. Whether he transferred later or the school changed its name, it seems to have no connection with Sakura Paths Japanese Language School.

The day after the hot spring incident, Wei Xiao goes to school with Xu Tianci.

As soon as Shi Yuquan sees her, he sarcastically remarks, "Aren't you from ten years in the future? What? Did the time machine break? Can't go back?"

Wei Xiao looks at him, feeling calm, "I do think I've been absurd, but it's okay. It's all in the past, and I won't tell such lies again."

"What are you here for today, oba-san?"

Hearing her husband refer to her as "oba-san" (auntie), Wei Xiao clenches her teeth, suppressing her anger. "Xu Tianci didn't disclose your information to me, you've misunderstood him. I hope you won't complain about him."

"Finally admitting you're in cahoots. So, tell me, how did you know about my family information, oba-san?"

Unable to bear it any longer, Wei Xiao says, "Can you please stop calling me 'oba-san'?"

"Oh, you don't understand Japanese, huh?" Shi Yuquan smirks, teasingly, "Let me ask again, how did you know about my family information, auntie?"

"You!... Forget it..." In order not to implicate Xu Tianci, Wei Xiao says, "I saw it on his computer because you look remarkably like my deceased husband. I got confused for a moment, thinking you were him, so I wanted to know everything about you. I was wrong, please don't complain about Xu Tianci."

"You? Your husband passed away? How did he die?"

"In heavy rain, he accidentally drowned in the tunnel under the bridge..."

Shi Yuquan instantly masks all expressions, compassionately saying, "I'm sorry..."

The concerned look from the guy across the table makes Wei Xiao's nose tingle because it's so much like the Shi Yuquan she knows. Just as she is about to speak, Shi Yuquan suddenly bursts into laughter.

"Liar, do you think I'd believe you? Drowning in heavy rain in the city? Can't you come up with a more plausible cause of death?"

Wei Xiao looks at Shi Yuquan in confusion for a long moment, then sighs, "Think whatever you want. Just don't complain about Xu Tianci."

"If you tell me not to complain, I'll complain."

Shi Yuquan bypasses her and heads to the school office. Wei Xiao is infuriated, mustering all her strength to catch up. She pounces on him from behind, grabs his collar, pulls it down, and breathes into it. Shi Yuquan collapses on the ground as if his bones have been taken away.

It seems that, despite the changes in his personality and preferences, some vulnerabilities remain the same.

Wei Xiao claps her hands, crouching in front of him, "Why don't you listen when I say nice things? If you dare complain about Xu Tianci, I'll wait at the school gate every day, making you collapse in front of your classmates. Do you think that sounds fun?"

Shi Yuquan looks at Wei Xiao incredulously. The fact that he's afraid of someone breathing on him is known only to his parents. How did Wei Xiao find out? Is it a coincidence?

Seeing him bewildered, Wei Xiao pinches his cheek, "Didn't you call me 'auntie'? Then you should listen to your elders, got it?"

Surprisingly, he nods uncontrollably.
