I'm not a womanizer for Chihaya Aine

But Qing couldn't bear to let the homeroom teacher make a wasted trip. After all, the homeroom teacher was concerned about her. Although she was actually fine, she finally told him that she had moved. Then, after unsuccessful persuasion, they made an appointment to meet near the Akabane police station tomorrow.

After hanging up the phone, Qing noticed the messages he received on Line, first it was a private message from Aine.

[Ain: Qingqing, I still told the teacher about your situation. I'm sorry! Kneeling expression pack Gif]

[Aine: I really can't just leave your injury alone, but I don't know how to help you, so I can only ask the teacher for help. ]

[Ain: If you want to blame someone, blame me today, don’t blame me tomorrow or later! Crying Gif]

Qing sighed, Aine's actions were not unexpected. After all, Qing knew very well how kind Aine was. She would not tolerate her friend suffering violence and do nothing, even though their relationship was about to be reset.

But Qing still felt exhausted. Thinking about his increasingly busy schedule, he seemed to be more tired after becoming a student again than when he was working.

At least before the time travel, Qing still had time to watch Mygo's second creation (although it was squeezed out by staying up late), but now she uses any free time she has to think about various plans and things for the future.

Before Qing could recover from the pressure, she saw Li Xi putting pressure on Ai Yin again in the band group. She could only come out immediately and send a message to squeeze Li Xi to protect Ai Yin.

Then Ao got caught for not replying to Aine's private message...

[Ain: Qingqing, you didn't even reply to my private message. Are you mad at me? ]

[Qing: No, I was just on the phone with my homeroom teacher. Aiyin is concerned about me, I won't be mad at you.]

【Aine: How was your conversation? Can you tell me more? 】

[Qing: The teacher will come back to see me tomorrow. Don't worry, it will be resolved soon. Besides, I'm fine anyway.]

【Aine: Yeah, that’s good! 】

[Ain: I look forward to our next meeting! ]

【Qing:Smiley emoticon pack Jpg】

Although Qing sent a smiling expression to Aine, the Qing in front of the screen did not smile at all. At this time, she no longer used the "master-level expression control" and finally took off her cold mask, revealing a tired expression.

Chapter 64: Morning run, investigation, and revelation.

It was a new day. Aiyin got up from bed early, stretched herself and felt refreshed.

"I didn't have any dreams last night..."

Aine muttered to herself.

In her opinion, the reason why she was in such a good state after waking up today was that she did not have any dreams. Ever since she returned to Japan, Aiyin would inevitably feel depressed every time she woke up from a dream, and she could not remember the content of her dream no matter how hard she tried.

But I felt good when I woke up today, so I could go for a morning run to build up my strength as I mentioned before.

It is worth mentioning that although Aiyin had an appointment with her classmates today, the agreed time was not early at all. After all, you can't expect students to go out and play as early as they do when they are in school. So Aiyin would not be late after getting up for a morning run, eating breakfast, and putting on makeup and dressing up before going out.

After washing and changing clothes, I said hello to my parents, tied my long hair into a bun, and started my morning run without looking for a route.

In fact, Aiyin didn't have the habit of morning exercises, and she didn't plan in advance how long she would run or what the route would be, so she had nothing to refer to for her morning run today. She just ran and stopped when she got tired.

As time passed, the morning sun gradually became brighter and brighter. Aiyin, who was out of breath in the park, stopped running, walked on the trail for a while, then left the park and went to a nearby convenience store to buy water.

Aiyin took a bottle of sports drink from the freezer and went to the counter to pay. The boss glanced at Aiyin casually while eating breakfast and subconsciously asked: "Little girl, are you alone today?"

Aiyin, who was breathing heavily with her hands on her hips, was stunned when she heard the boss' words. Although she had come to this store to buy things before, it was only a few times in the past few years. Logically, the boss should not know her, not to mention that she had never been here with anyone else.

So Aiyin asked tentatively: "Um...Boss, did you recognize the wrong person?"

The boss stopped eating breakfast after hearing this. He turned around and looked at Aiyin carefully, then said, "No, I know you. Isn't your home nearby? You used to come to my place almost every morning. Why did you suddenly stop coming later?"

Seeing the boss's confident look, Aiyin almost doubted her memory. She waved her hands and said, "No, no, no, I am indeed a resident here, but I have only been here a few times, right? And I have always come here alone!"

The middle-aged boss' stubborn temper also came up. He put down his breakfast and said as if he wanted to talk to you: "Your voice is so recognizable, how could I remember it wrong? And your companion... um, who was the person with you?"

The boss got stuck halfway through his sentence, and kept scratching his head, thinking about Aine’s non-existent “companion”.

Seeing the boss's expression, Aiyin knew that he had indeed made a mistake. After handing the money to the boss, she said jokingly, "So, uncle, you made a mistake! It's okay, this is a common thing, so don't hold it against yourself."

After saying that, Aiyin turned around and left the store while twisting the cap of the sports drink. The boss was left sitting alone, muttering to himself: "Is it really because I'm old and remember it wrong? But are there other children like her who have pink hair and such a unique voice around here?"

……

On the other side, Ishihara teacher arrived at Akabane early and waited for Qing at the agreed place. After Qing knew that the teacher was waiting for him, he reluctantly left home to meet the teacher.

The first thing Mr. Ishihara did after seeing Qing was to check his injuries. After two nights, Qing's injuries had actually improved significantly, but many signs of beating could still be seen.

Afterwards, Mr. Ishihara brought Qing to the police station and explained the situation to the police. After a series of procedures and questioning, the police began their investigation.

Since Qing didn't do anything bad and didn't want to get into trouble, she told everything that happened that night in detail, including the characteristics of those gangsters and the matter of Xiangzi and his daughter.

In fact, Qing really didn't want to involve Xiangzi anymore, but she didn't want to hide anything from the police. Anyway, even if she didn't say anything, the gangsters would still tell after being summoned. And Xiangzi and his daughter didn't have any problem in this matter. It just wasted some of their time. I believe that as long as they cooperate well, it will be over soon.

The waiting time was long. During this time, Teacher Ishihara was worried that Qing would be nervous waiting in the police station and might meet those gangsters later, so she kept chatting with Qing. However, Qing's calmness was beyond her expectations, which made her efforts seem in vain.

Since Japan's surveillance coverage is not high, the progress of the investigation into the group of gangsters was not fast. Instead, Xiangzi and her father, who were able to clearly state their names, were quickly summoned to the police station.

On the first morning of the holiday, Xiangzi did not go out early, so she came with her father who stayed at home. Xiangzi was very polite to the police, and her words and deeds showed that the girl was well-educated, but she could not hide the panic on her face.

On the contrary, although Xiang's father still looked depressed and had many wounds on his body, he was not panicked at all and cooperated with the police's questioning. However, he was like a human machine and did not give any more feedback, as if he didn't care about anything.

Soon after being questioned, Xiangzi also came to the waiting area. As soon as she arrived, she saw Qing and Teacher Ishihara. She was not surprised that Qing was here, because since she and her father did not call the police, Qing was the only one who might come to the police station to report the case.

But Xiangzi was very surprised that Teacher Ishihara was here. She subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands and greeted him in doubt: "Qing classmate... and Teacher Ishihara?"

When Mr. Ishihara saw Xiangzi, he was also a little surprised and responded: "I didn't expect that the girl Yanagisawa was talking about was really you, Toyokawa."

Xiangzi smiled politely at the teacher, then sat next to Qing and asked in a low voice: "Why is Mr. Ishihara here?"

Qing had no choice but to answer truthfully: "Aine found the injuries I got when I fought with those people. She was really worried about me and called the homeroom teacher. After the homeroom teacher learned about the situation, she insisted on bringing me here."

Xiangzi was shocked when he heard Qing's explanation and asked nervously: "What? Are you injured? Is it serious? Have you been to the hospital?"

Xiangzi had never been in a fight before, and fighting had always been very far away from her, so she had never thought about how dangerous the fight that Qing had described the night before was. Fighting would cause injuries, and this was something that the former young lady only realized now.

Qing shook his head and said, "It's okay. Even my movements are not affected. As long as I don't press too hard, I can't even feel any pain. And the injury is almost healed now."

Xiangzi still lowered his head and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, my father did something stupid and hurt you..."

Qing raised his hand to stop Xiangzi from saying anything, and said seriously: "Your father is the one who was implicated. I am very touched that he is willing to stand up for me. If there is anything to say, it should be me who apologizes, right? And I am really fine."

In fact, Qing was helpless about this matter. With her physical enhancement and legendary stress resistance, the injury was just a minor one for Qing. However, her injury looked much more serious than she thought, because the skill only reduced the impact of the injury on her, and the effect of reducing the damage itself was extremely limited; on the other hand, because her skin was relatively tender, the slightest injury would be particularly obvious.

But Qing couldn't tell others that she had any skills. These injuries were the same as if they didn't exist for her. Others would just think that she was just holding on.

The atmosphere fell silent. All one could say was that no one wanted to see something like this happen.

Qing had another consideration. According to the development of the original story, Xiangzi and his father should not have been destined to suffer this disaster. So it was because of her that Xiangzi and his father suffered this disaster. She felt a little lost.

As expected, not everything is under my control. So far, my existence seems to have made Aine and Deng better off than at the same time in the original story, and the band is gradually getting on track according to her plan... But, can I really keep everything under control and make everyone's ending better than their original fate?

Qing slowly closed her eyes and leaned back in the chair. Because of her identity as a "high-dimensional being", she had directly or indirectly shouldered the fate of more and more people. Her sense of responsibility prevented her from letting go of the fate of these people at will. At the same time, the pressure in her heart could not be told to outsiders, nor could she release it.

Xiangzi, who was standing by, also noticed Qing's behavior. She seemed to see that Qing's thin figure was under pressure that she shouldn't have at her age. Comparing this with her own situation, she thought that maybe letting Qing rest quietly would be a better choice for her. So Xiangzi also closed her eyes and waited like Qing.

After a while, there was a noisy sound coming from the police station. Qing and Xiangzi opened their eyes and saw that those gangsters were brought over by the police. They seemed to be quite dissatisfied with the police and their shouting could be heard from time to time.

But Qing noticed that the gang leader became much more obedient after he glanced at them intentionally or unintentionally, and the other gangsters stopped making noise after seeing this.

Did they be quiet because they saw Qing who could beat them down? Qing felt that she was not that intimidating. After all, she ran away when she was entangled at the beginning. This shows that even if Qing had the ability to defeat them, she would not take the initiative to provoke them. This should not scare them. So if they were not quiet because of me...

Thinking of this, Qing looked at Xiangzi standing aside. She had not forgotten Xiangzi's former identity. In Japan, the power of the chaebols was very great. Not to mention these little gangsters, even the real gangsters did not dare to touch the eldest daughter of the chaebol family easily.

Although Xiangzi is now a poor young lady, it does not necessarily mean that the Toyokawa family has given up on her. You should know that in the animation plot, Xiangzi re-entered the Toyokawa family's house in order to establish Mujica, and from the subsequent successful establishment of Mujica, the Toyokawa family did give Xiangzi some support. This is enough to show that Xiangzi's identity as a former young lady is not without value.

But Qing saw Xiangzi frowning, nervous, and even a little scared, and he didn't seem to know anything about this matter. Qing withdrew his gaze and stopped asking, after all, other people's family affairs had nothing to do with him.

Although those hooligans were shouting loudly when they came in, they were very cooperative with the investigation after entering the interrogation room. The police officers quickly investigated what happened, and after a quick discussion, everyone was willing to accept the result of the private settlement, so the police station gave the result of the handling.

Although Xiang's father was the one who hit the child first, he did so to protect the safety of minors, so Qing and Xiang's father will both receive compensation, which is a windfall for Qing. Although she has been discussing copyright acquisition with the music platform, it will take some time for the song to generate revenue and gain income, which does not quench her thirst. Instead, this compensation can help her get through the window period before copyright income.

When Qing was about to sign the agreement, the police officer took Qing's agreement and took a quick look at it, then said to Mr. Ishihara beside him: "She is a minor, so the guardian also needs to sign."

Teacher Ishihara said somewhat embarrassedly: "Well... I'm the homeroom teacher of Yanagisawa Aoki School. Can I sign it?"

The police officer frowned and asked Qing: "Where is your guardian? If you really can't come, you can call them and ask your teacher to sign on your behalf."

Qing didn't know what to say. Although she had read the summary of her life experience when she activated the skill, she also knew that she was now a parentless person. But for her, her parents were still alive and well, and treated her very well, but they were just in another world.

You can't just call the parents in another world and ask them to agree to sign the agreement on behalf of the class teacher, right?

But when asked to say that she was an orphan without a guardian, Qing couldn't say it. She felt that if she said it, she would be letting down her parents in the previous world.

In fact, this is also because Japan does not have things like ID cards. Otherwise, Qing could just hand over his ID card and we could use the equipment to check what Qing’s situation is.

In this situation, Teacher Ishihara had no choice but to step forward. She looked at Xiangzi behind her hesitantly, then looked at Qing who lowered his head and remained silent, and finally looked at the police officer who frowned and seemed a little impatient. Finally, she spoke for Qing: "Yanagizawa... doesn't have a guardian."

Although Teacher Ishihara was reluctant to reveal Qing's scarred past, especially in front of a classmate like Xiangzi who knew Qing well, if she did not stand up here, she would be forcing Qing to tell her past herself, which would be too cruel.

By the way, in the laws of Qing's home country before he traveled through time, minors must have a guardian. In this world's Japan, there is a certain gap. Even if the parents of a minor no longer exist, the identity of the guardian can point to other adults. This designated guardian can be an adoptive parent or an elder who is willing to fulfill the guardian's obligations.

For example, in Qing's identity, his guardian after being abandoned by his parents was someone from the orphanage, and later became the family that adopted Qing. As for what happened after that, Qing didn't know either.

It can be seen that there was no guardian between the time Qing escaped from the orphanage and the time she was adopted. Qing's current situation is the same as Qing's at that time, in a legal loophole with no guardian.

Back to reality, Ishihara's words shocked everyone present except Qing, especially Xiangzi. She thought Qing's life would be difficult, but she didn't expect Qing's life to be so miserable. Although her father was a bit of a bastard, he was still by her side. From what Ishihara said, Qing's parents were gone.

Moreover, not every high school girl who wants to earn money independently has lived a life of luxury for more than ten years like Xiangzi. Xiangzi is sure that Qing's childhood must have been more miserable than he could have imagined.

Xiangzi looked at Qing, who was keeping his head down and saying nothing, with a complicated expression. Seeing Qing's expression of assent and silence, a feeling of suffocation surged from Xiangzi's chest.

The police officer who had just asked the question widened his eyes and looked at his colleague, then handed the agreement signed by Liu Zeqing to his colleague and said, "Go check the file and see who her guardian is in the records."

After a while, the police officer who checked the files came back. The police officer sitting here raised his eyebrows and asked, "So soon?"

The police officer checking the files looked at Qing and the teacher behind her, Xiangzi and his daughter, and whispered in his colleague's ear: "Because she has a criminal record, her previous background will be quickly found out."

"Huh? Her? Are you sure? How old was she before..."

The police officer questioned subconsciously, but soon realized that he should not have such a reaction.

"Yes, I'm sure it was her. She was involved in several street fights a few years ago. I was also surprised, but this is what was recorded in the file. She was abandoned by her parents when she was very young and sent to an orphanage. Later, she escaped from the orphanage and lived on the streets. She survived in Tokyo by running away and fighting."

The police officer who heard about Qing's past was shocked beyond words. He looked at Qing in astonishment, which made Xiangzi behind Qing wonder what had happened that could have shocked the police officers so much. Xiang's father looked thoughtful.

"What about her previous acting guardian?"

"The person who closed the case and released her was a female police officer from the Ikebukuro police station. Every time Yanagisawa Ao was arrested and brought to the police station, she would take over the responsibility of guardianship. But later on, Yanagisawa Ao was no longer homeless. It seemed that Yanagisawa Ao met a family willing to take her in, and the two of them had no contact since then."

"Which family took her in?"

"At the time, the family did not go through the formal adoption procedures. After all, she was not adopted from a formal institution such as an orphanage or a police station. She was adopted by a kind person when she was living on the street. In addition, this happened several years ago, and it would take a long time to investigate."

"Where is the female police officer who temporarily took over as her guardian? Can you contact her?"

"Regrettably, in a case three years ago, the police officer died in the line of duty..."

At this point, the sitting police officer took a deep breath, looked at Qing and asked: "Where are your adoptive parents?"

Qing thought, how would I know? Ask the system. However, when generating past experiences, Qing chose to automatically select people who would not affect her current self to forge past experiences in order to avoid being approached by old friends. In other words, her adoptive parents were probably gone, or they could no longer fulfill their guardianship obligations to her and had forgotten about her.

But Qing had no idea of the specific situation and could only shake his head silently.

The police officer took a deep breath and mourned for the tragic experience of this girl. In his opinion, Qing was probably abandoned again. The probability of an orphan being abandoned again is much higher than that of a normal child, but this will cause greater psychological harm to the orphan.

As for the possibility that the family that adopted Qing is no longer in existence, this possibility is not high. After all, if this is really the case, Qing's past would be somewhat unlucky.

After some understanding, the police officer's impatience towards Qing disappeared, and he became more gentle. He pointed at Mr. Ishihara and said, "You will temporarily serve as Yanagisawa Qing's temporary guardian and educate her. Is that okay?"

Teacher Ishihara quickly nodded in agreement.

Then the police officer looked at Qing again, and asked in a much gentler voice: "You didn't have a guardian before, did you encounter any difficulties in life?"

Qing tilted his head and asked curiously: "What if there is? What if there isn't?"

The police officer explained: "If necessary, we can contact relevant agencies for you and find a family willing to adopt you."

Qing lost interest instantly after hearing that. She didn't want to be bound by a strange family and face the pressure of interpersonal relationships in the new family. The most important thing was that her song-copying career was gradually getting on track and would soon be able to alleviate or even solve her financial pressure.

So Qing shook his head and said, "No, I can support myself."

"Yanagizawa-san..."

Teacher Ishihara wanted to persuade Qing, but he didn't know what to say.

Qing, who was sitting on the chair, looked up at the head teacher. His cold voice told the cruel reality: "It's okay. Didn't we get through it like this before? It's much better now than before."

Qing's calm tone made everyone present feel heartbroken. It seemed that what they thought was very cruel to the children was just a daily routine that Qing was accustomed to.

In the end, the adults had no objection to Qing's decision. After all, it was very difficult for a child of Qing's age to find a suitable family to adopt her, and it was even more difficult for her to integrate into the family. Since Qing had already found a lifestyle that suited her, they would just ignore her for the time being and pay more attention to her situation in the future.

After Mr. Ishihara signed temporarily on behalf of Qing's guardian, the agreement was finalized. After that, Qing only needed to go home and wait for the gangsters to transfer money.
