Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

Because he was wary of Hei Mai, Karasuma Akimitsu did not ask him to pick him up at the apartment, but asked Hei Mai to wait for him at the gate of Tokyo University.

When I arrived at the school gate, I saw Yuba Hongyi standing under a ginkgo tree with a cigarette in his mouth. His long black hair was slightly blown by the wind, and his casual denim jacket made him look unexpectedly young.

Karasuma Akimitsu walked up to him carrying his schoolbag and said, "Mr. Hanba, thank you for accompanying me to class these few days."

Yuba Hongyi looked at Karasuma Mingguang who was wearing a dark blue suit: "Just call me Hongyi, but... this is the first time I see you without a kimono. You look very beautiful."

Karasuma Mingguang tilted his head and saw Yuba Hongyi reaching out to take his handbag: "It looks weird to wear a kimono to class. Don't smoke. Smoking is prohibited on campus."

"Yeah." Yuba Hongyi put out the cigarette in his mouth, "I thought you would refuse me as a bodyguard."

"I wanted to, but Armagnac convinced me." After Karasuma Akiko took the things in his hands, he seemed a little embarrassed and didn't know where to put them. Finally, he put them in his trouser pockets. "By the way, your girlfriend is Miyano Akemi. She has nothing to do with me."

"Miyano Akemi?" Yuba Hong, who was carrying Karasuma Akimitsu's schoolbag and walking into the University of Tokyo with him, was stunned.

"Yeah, so don't mistake me for someone else. If you investigate more carefully, you will find out that the time of Nagai Mitsuru's death does not match. Your girlfriend died before you left the FBI. After you defected, you returned to the United States to continue your FBI work until your girlfriend died. Then you returned to Japan from the United States to continue investigating our organization." The two of them walked together on the campus of the University of Tokyo, and Karasuma Akimitsu spoke directly. After he finished speaking, the two fell into a long silence.

When they were almost at the classroom, Yuba Hongyi finally spoke up: "Why are you telling me this so directly? If I misunderstood, wouldn't it be more beneficial to you? For example, using my emotions to better control me."

Karasuma Mingguang gave Yuba Hongyi a strange look: "Why should I control you?"

"Aren't you the boss?"

"This title only means that I lead some people, but it doesn't mean I want to lead everyone." Karasuma Akimitsu shook his head, "So do you still want to continue to be my bodyguard? After knowing that I have nothing to do with you."

Yuba Hongyi smiled and said, "Maybe I still want to continue investigating your organization?"

"There's nothing to investigate." Karasuma Akimitsu shook his head, "We are all a legal business and we pay taxes obediently."

"Does cloning count?"

"That has nothing to do with me. Please find solid evidence." Karasuma Akimitsu shrugged. "When you enter the classroom, if someone asks you, just say you are my friend and you accompanied me to class for a few days. Don't talk about bodyguards, but no one will necessarily ask. No one said a word when Gin came to class for a few days."

As a result, someone came to ask, after a special class ended and the teacher left the classroom, Karasuma Akimitsu just stood up and a group of people came over pushing and shoving.

"Karasuma-san..." It was the yellow-haired boy who was pushed out to talk to him last time.

Karasuma Akimitsu looked at him in surprise and responded in a male voice: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

"Ahem..." Huang Mao's head was sweating. "Well, last weekend, on the 18th or 19th..."

"Ok?"

"It's the May Festival!" said the yellow-haired man loudly.

"Well, it's the school festival at the Hongo campus, right? Because something happened at home, I didn't go to the event. What's the matter?" Karasuma Akimitsu's slow and gentle voice made the yellow-haired man slowly calm down.

"Karasuma-san! I'm sorry!"

"what?"

"We submitted your photo to the Dongda website beauty pageant at the May Festival without your permission...Ahhh, sorry for not being clear! We voted for both the Miss Dongda pageant and the Mr Dongda pageant!"

"Ah?" Karasuma Akimitsu showed a rare look of confusion on his face.

"And then... we made it into the top three in the online voting." The yellow-haired man was so nervous that he almost bit his tongue.

"..."

"Well... all the top ten contestants need to be interviewed. It's an internal interview on campus and will be posted on the campus website." The yellow-haired man said it all in one breath. "Today, no, it can be this week. Is Karasuma-san free? Can you accept the interview?"

"…If I don't accept it, what are the consequences?"

"...Todai will hold a final selection for the Komaba Festival in November. This year's Miss Todai and Mr Todai will be the first place winners." The yellow-haired man said cautiously, "Well, I'm the campus reporter. If Karasuma-san doesn't have time, we can do it during the break or lunch time?"

"I'm not interested in being... Miss or Mr. No. 1 at Todai." Karasuma Akimitsu smiled, "Sorry, I voluntarily give up participating in this project. My schedule is too full and I don't have time to participate in extra campus activities."

"But...but..."

"Can I ask, the May Festival was last weekend, right? Why didn't you tell me about it last week?"

"..." Everyone around them lost their temper. Last week, the silver-haired man next to Karasuma Akimitsu made the entire classroom afraid to speak loudly. The teacher was so scared that he ended the get out of class early. No one had the courage to come over and talk to Karasuma Akimitsu.

The yellow-haired man laughed and rubbed the back of his head: "Um, Karasuma-san, it's just an interview, I won't write anything nonsense, please."

The students around him started to make a noise, and two of them even leaned over the table in front of Karasuma Akimitsu. "Please, Karasuma-san, you have the best chance of winning the championship in our literature department! You don't even participate in extracurricular research group activities, so you won't participate in this either?"

"Yeah, yeah! It's just an interview and some photo shoots! Don't be so stingy!"

"Yeah, yeah! Don't be shy, Karasuma-san."

When a boy was about to reach out to pull Karasuma Akimitsu's arm, Yuba Shuichi stood up and walked to Karasuma Akimitsu, put his arm around his waist and pulled him aside: "He has already refused, please don't make any moves."

Karasuma Akimitsu just wanted to open his hands that were on her waist.

With his other hand, Shuichi Yuba picked up the handbag that Karasuma Akimitsu had put away and said, "Sorry, Akimitsu needs to rush to his next class." After saying that, he let go of Karasuma Akimitsu's waist, pulled his hand, and walked forward, pushing through the crowd somewhat roughly, and walked out of the classroom.

After leaving the classroom and walking all the way around the corridor, Yuba Shuichi finally let go of Karasuma Akimitsu's hand: "Did they pester you like this before?"

Karasuma Akimitsu raised his hand to push his bangs back, "No, Gin seems to have scared them. And Shiro is very careful, usually taking me away after class."

"Oh, you're complaining about my incompetence as a bodyguard." Yuba Hongyi turned to look at Karasuma Akimitsu, "Being too popular isn't a good thing, right?"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Karasuma Akimitsu was a little surprised.

Yuba Hongyi seemed to think for a long time: "You may not be my girlfriend."

"..."

"But you must be a very special person to me." Yuba Hong raised her hand and tucked the golden hair that Karasuma Mingguang had draped over her shoulders behind her ears, "Boss, please let me stay by your side this week."

"I don't have any secrets for you to test. I'm a serious businessman." Karasuma Akimitsu blinked and looked at Hamura Hongyi, "Yes, and the students of Dongda University."

"You don't seem to want to make friends with your classmates." Yuba Hong turned around and walked towards the school gate side by side with Karasuma Akimitsu again. Karasuma Akimitsu had already applied for self-study for the next class, so what he said just now when he left the classroom was just an excuse.

"Yes, I have very high requirements for my friends." Karasuma Akimitsu said with his arms folded across his chest.

"Is Miss Suzuki's talent enough?"

"What do you mean?"

"You're too wary of me. We're just chatting normally." Yuba Hongyi shook his head and took out his phone to check the time. "You don't have classes this afternoon, right? Do you need me to take you home?"

"No, Shuichi will pick me up and take me back to the manor after we get to the school gate."

"Okay, can you tell me how I can make you feel more at ease with me? I have no hostility towards your organization." Yuba Hongyi sighed.

"You just lost your memory temporarily. Think about it, you wanted to kill Gin before." The two were walking on the campus. The midday sun shone through the still green ginkgo leaves and sprinkled on the two of them. There were not many people around. Maybe other students had classes in the afternoon or had to go out for lunch. There were not many students walking out of the school gate at noon.

The rustling sound of wind blowing through the leaves made the surroundings seem even quieter. Spots of light shone as the two moved, and Karasuma Akimitsu's golden hair scattered a hazy halo as it alternated between light and dark.

"Why are you sitting on me and crying?" Yuba Kouichi changed the topic so suddenly that Karasuma Akimitsu didn't react at all.

Seeing that Karasuma Akimitsu didn't answer, Yuba Hong asked the next question: "If you are not my girlfriend, then what was our relationship before?"

Karasuma Akimitsu shook his head awkwardly: "I think you think too much. We were not familiar with each other before."

"You're not a very good liar, are you?" Yuba Hongyi said calmly, and made a self-righteous judgment, "You're a little too nervous. Stop grabbing your arms, or your suit will get wrinkled."

Karasuma Akimitsu hastily loosened his arm and turned his head to look at Gingko and the others on the other side: "We really don't know each other very well. You were just a tenant living in the new family back then. By the way, you were still in disguise at that time, and your face wasn't this one."

When he arrived at the school gate, Karasuma Akimitsu breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say goodbye to Hamura Hongichi, a giant poodle ran out from the side and pounced directly on Karasuma Akimitsu.

"Sally?" Karasuma Akimitsu was surprised.

"Master, Sally saw my subordinate going out to pick you up and take you back to the manor, so she insisted on following. She knew that I was here to pick you up." Shuichi Hamura pulled Sally's reins, stood at the school gate, and greeted Karasuma Akimitsu with a smile.

Sally put her front legs on Karasuma Akiko and barked happily twice, then turned her head and noticed Yuba Kouichi next to her. She turned her head and sniffed for a while, then the whole dog became excited, ran to Yuba Kouichi and started nudging his hand with her head, then tried to put her head into his trouser pocket to see if he brought any freeze-dried snacks to feed her this time.

Karasuma Akimitsu hurriedly grabbed Sally's reins and pulled her back.

Yuba Hongyi patted Sally's head and smiled at Karasuma Mingguang: "It seems that even if I am not familiar with you, I am very familiar with your dog."
