Just when Aiyin was trying to understand Qing's words, Qing suddenly seemed to see something in the aquarium, and withdrew his hand from the outer wall of the aquarium. His tone was a little colder than before, and he asked: "Ainyin, did you come here alone today?"

Aiyin didn't expect Qing to suddenly ask such a reasonable question. She looked at Qing with some doubts and answered affirmatively: "Of course."

"That's it."

After hearing Aine's answer, Ao finally turned his gaze towards Aine and asked, "Are we going to visit the next place?"

Aiyin nodded as if it was okay. After getting Aiyin's approval, Qing stretched out his hand to her, which surprised Aiyin. At first, she thought Qing was asking her for something, but suddenly he seemed to remember something and shyly extended his hand.

Qing took Ain's hand and pulled her away from here, saying: "Hold on to me, don't get lost."

"Ah."

He nodded shyly.

But Aine soon discovered that something was wrong with Qing. First, Qing's pace was much faster than usual when they walked together. Secondly, the feeling of holding hands was completely different from yesterday. Qing's hands were still tightly clenched, and she could feel the warmth in her palms, but compared to yesterday, she didn't have the feeling of focusing all her attention on her hands. Finally, she recalled the tone of Qing's words...

Aiyin, no longer overwhelmed by the ambiguous atmosphere, quickly realized that Qing must have discovered something and that's why he suddenly pulled her away so seriously. The hand-holding between them now was probably because Qing was worried that she would get lost.

Putting aside the slight disappointment in her heart, Aine quickened her pace and followed him, asking quietly and seriously: “What’s wrong?”

Qing replied in a low voice: "It seems that someone is following us."

After hearing Qing's answer, Aiyin was surprised that someone would still stalk someone in this peaceful era, but she still did not doubt Qing's judgment. She just held Qing's hand more nervously and asked, "Who is it?"

Aiyin believed that she had never offended anyone. Although her family was quite wealthy, it was far from being worthy of kidnapping, so the other party should not be following her.

Then the other party was very likely to follow Qing, especially considering the injuries on Qing's body and the experience of fighting with gangsters. After returning home last night, the class teacher sent a message to Ain, roughly explaining the results of the treatment, so Ain also knew that Qing was really injured because of fighting with others.

This alone made Aine even more worried. Could it be someone coming to take revenge on Ao? What should she do?

Sensing Ain's uneasiness, Qing firmly held Ain's restless little hand and expressed her determination in a cold voice: "Don't worry, I'm here."

Aine felt the warmth coming from her palm and Qing's firm words, and a sense of security flowed from Qing into Aine's heart. Although Qing should be a girl of the same age as Aine, Aine always felt safe in her.

After making sure that Aine had calmed down, Qing analyzed in a low voice without changing his expression: "So far, I have only found two people. Although they are blurry reflections seen through the aquarium, it seems that they are just two girls. At least they are not a big threat to safety."

Hearing this, Aiyin first breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly realized. Two girls? I seem to have just met two girls today, could it be them?

The matter was of great importance, and Aiyin was not sure, so she did not interrupt Qing's thoughts by saying it, but continued to ask: "What should we do next?"

"Of course, we catch them and see what they want to do."

Qing said indifferently.

On the other side, the two girls who were following Aiyin had to hurry up to catch up because Aiqing quickened her pace.

"Hey, they're speeding up again. Could it be that they've discovered us?"

One of the girls said breathlessly.

"If it was President Chihaya, then it's possible... but it's also possible that they are in a hurry to go to a venue, such as catching a performance at the Dolphinarium. After all, the person walking in front is another girl besides President Chihaya."

Another girl analyzed rationally.

"That's true... But they were holding hands. Although that girl looks Asian, she must be the girlfriend that President Chihaya met in England, right?"

"You know what, judging from her appearance and temperament alone, that girl is quite a good match for President Chihaya."

"Hey, they turned a corner, hurry up, or we'll lose them."

While they were chatting and laughing, Aiqing and the other person had already disappeared around the corner of a venue. The two girls who were following them also quickened their pace again in order not to be lost. However, when they reached the corner, a cold voice reached their ears.

"You two, are you following us?"

Qing had been lying in ambush here for a long time, and was looking at the two of them coldly at this moment, with most of Ain's body blocked behind him, and one of his hands was still tightly holding Ain's hand.

"Ah, I've been discovered!"

Perhaps they had anticipated this, as they did not seem surprised even though their stalking behavior was exposed.

At this time, Aiyin came out from behind Qing with a sigh and said, "It's really you two. You actually followed me secretly. It's really outrageous."

"Ahaha, sorry, President Chihaya. We just wanted to take a peek and didn't intend to disturb your date! It's your fault that you were so perceptive that you could detect our presence."

"Dating or something like that, that's too much! It's just a normal hang out with friends."

Aiyin felt a little embarrassed because her date with Qing was exposed, but in order to maintain a stable relationship with Qing, she still forced herself to speak.

"Eh? But if it's just the two of you playing together, doesn't that make it a date? And you're holding hands?"

"It's okay. We know the customs in your country, England. We will bless you."

After hearing this, Ain finally realized that she was still holding hands with Qing, so she quickly let go of her hand. After all, Qing was holding hands with her for safety because he was worried about the stalker. Now that they were sure that the stalker was safe, there was no need to hold hands anymore.

It's just that holding hands is a matter between two people, and so is letting go. Qing felt that the strength from Aine on her hand disappeared. Although she knew that Aine wanted to let go, Qing thought, why should they change because of a few words from others? Their feelings would not change because of other people's opinions. So Qing not only did not let go, but held Aine's hand even tighter.

"Um... Qingqing?"

Aine felt her hand being held tightly, she didn't expect Qing to be so bold in front of someone she knew, her tone suddenly became weak.

The two people standing opposite each other looked at Aiyin's shy expression, looked at each other, and thought: If we are not a young couple, I can say whatever you want.

Qing, on the other hand, absorbed the information from everyone's words and began to brainstorm in his mind. First of all, the identities of the two stalkers in front of him. They called Aine "President Chihaya", and just now they mentioned "you are from the UK", which is enough to prove that these two people are Aine's junior high school classmates, and they were once part of Aine's small group and knew that Aine went to study in the UK.

The second thing is Aine’s tone and attitude. At least the current Aine didn’t collapse and kneel down when she saw her junior high school classmates like in the original plot. Moreover, their words were quite familiar. In addition, Aine said “It’s really you guys”, which means that Aine was not surprised that the stalkers were these two people.

Therefore, it is not difficult to infer that Aiyin met these two people before meeting me today, otherwise this accidental stalking incident would not be established. Moreover, Aiyin dealt with them very well after meeting them, at least she did not expose her failure in studying abroad, and explained that she would meet me later. And these two people chose to follow me secretly out of curiosity about my identity.

In general, these two people are not threatening, but they are troublesome. Because if they talk about Aine's study abroad, it will be troublesome, and Qing doesn't know how Aine fooled her about being in Japan instead of in the UK before, but since they don't know that Aine failed to study abroad, it is likely that Aine made them think that Aine returned to her country temporarily.

So what kind of identity should she use to face them? A friend whom Aine had known for a long time? Or an international student who she had met in the UK? But in any case, she couldn't reveal the fact that she and Aine were studying in Japan together.

After thinking for a moment, Qing suddenly gave a standard polite smile, then took Aine's hand and performed a standard Catholic salute, and then said to the two of them in a tone: "Sorry, it turns out to be Anon's old friend! I was rude just now."

The two girls opposite were very surprised at Qing's sudden change of attitude, but even more surprised was Aine who was beside Qing. She could even be described as shocked and stunned.

Not to mention the amount of information contained in Qing’s words, just Qing’s pretentious look and that extremely familiar ritual gesture were enough to make Aine’s brain short-circuit.

The first person to react was a girl across from him. She asked with sparkling eyes, "Um, are you the classmate that President Chihaya met in England?"

Qing kept a polite smile, looked at Aine, and said: "Let Anon answer this question."

After the words fell, the three of them looked at Aine, who was still confused. She didn't even know what was going on with Qing before she was blamed.

Eh? How should I answer this?

Chapter 77 Thoughts, misunderstandings, sugar.

When you have to collaborate with others on writing without prior preparation, how can you cooperate without making mistakes?

Qing’s answer was to write a very general background himself and then leave the rest of the content to his teammates.

Just like the current situation, Qing's idea is to let Aine complete the settings she set for her junior high school classmates, and then perform according to Aine's settings, so that the probability of being exposed will be lower.

But this requires a prerequisite, that is, Aiyin must know that Qing is here to cooperate with her.

Then, can Aine understand the meaning of Qing's question? With Aine's intelligence and quotient, it is definitely possible, but it will take time, especially since Qing's words contain information that Aine cares about very much.

First of all, Qing must be acting in front of these two junior high school classmates, because Qing usually doesn't perform the teaching etiquette, nor does he speak in that strange accent. After thinking carefully, Aine may indeed need Qing to cooperate with her in acting.

But the question is, why did Qing know that she needed to act in front of Aine's junior high school classmates? What did she know? No, Qing must know something. After all, it was definitely not a coincidence that she performed Catholic rituals and mixed English into her words. At least she knew that Aine had been to England.

So how much does Qing know? And how does she know it?

Although Aine wanted to forget the unpleasant things that happened when she was with Ao, she now had to recall that Ao approached her for some purpose and she admitted to investigating herself and the members of Crychic.

If Qing knew that it was not difficult for him to study in the UK after a special investigation, does that mean Qing already knew that he was too proud of himself and made such a boast, and then fled back to Tokyo in embarrassment after failing to study abroad?

Qing, knowing that I am so miserable...

A feeling of fear and worry surged into Ain's heart. For Ain, this blow was even greater than when her junior high school classmates found out that she had failed to study abroad.

Aine's eyes gradually became unfocused, her body began to tremble uncontrollably, her hands and feet gradually lost strength, and her figure looked like it was about to collapse at any moment.

At this moment, the familiar warmth coming from her palm made Aiyin feel a little relieved. Aiyin looked at the person she cared about with fear. At this time, Qing looked at Aiyin gently and nodded to her gently. Everything was said without words.

Instantly, Aiyin's panic disease was cured. No matter what she was like in the past, at least Qing was willing to be with her now. Even after knowing her worst past, Qing was still willing to hold her hand... That was enough.

So Aine turned around and began to think seriously about how to answer the two uninvited guests. Should she admit that Qing was her British classmate? Since Qing had already started acting, she should be able to handle the character she was given, right?

However, reality is not a game, and people in reality are not like NPCs. As long as the player does not make a dialogue choice, they will keep waiting. Aine said that too much time had been wasted just now. Even though the two junior high school classmates opposite her did not interrupt Aine's thoughts, they began to speculate in their hearts why Aine hesitated and thought.

In their eyes, Aiyin seemed a little scared and didn't dare to speak at first, but she felt relieved after looking at Qing. However, she still hesitated and didn't speak, as if she was thinking about how to make an excuse or how to explain.

Combined with their previous guesses, there is only one answer!

Ain and the girl next to her are lovers, but Ain is worried that the Japanese culture does not tolerate the existence of girls, and she is also worried that if she tells them that her lover is a girl, they will resist and reject her, and they will not even be able to be friends from then on. So Ain was afraid and did not dare to answer at first, and even later she was thinking about how to fool them or how to make them accept a girl friend.

As for why they were sure that Qing was Aine's lover, first of all, the conversation that Qing had just had with them was very much like someone who had been abroad. Secondly, they also noticed the sense of security that Qing gave Aine, as well as all their previous intimate actions, which were enough to show how important Qing was in Aine's heart. It can be said that there are only two possible identities for Qing, one is a lover, and the other is a family member.

If Qing is Aine's sister, Aine shouldn't be hesitant to introduce her family members. The relationship between them must be something that is difficult to say out loud, which is why Aine is so hesitant to talk about it. So after excluding the option of family members, Qing is undoubtedly Aine's lover.

This can even explain why Aine returned to Japan but still didn't send a message to tell everyone that she was back, because she was worried that everyone would not be able to accept her.

If you think about it carefully, why would Aine bring her lover back to Japan at this time? Maybe she wants to meet her parents? This can also explain why Aine is so sensitive and always hesitates whether to speak out about her situation.

As the two of them made more and more associations, they became more and more certain of their guesses. As for Qing, they had long since tacitly accepted that Qing was someone Aine knew in England.

The two looked at each other in tacit understanding, and soon communicated their thoughts with their eyes. Although they were shocked that the beloved Chihaya President was Hime, they respected and understood it, and Ao was completely qualified as Aine's partner, and Aine seemed to have deep trust in Ao. So they would not continue to make Aine entangled and embarrassed, and they should sincerely wish Aine happiness.

So they spoke before Aine did, and said one after another: “President Chihaya, there’s no need to say more, we already know!”

"It's okay, President Chihaya. We will bless you."

"Yes, you can tell us when you come back to Japan. We will definitely support you!"

"Yes, be brave and pursue your own happiness. We won't tell other students about your affairs."

The two of them were so confused by their actions that Qing had no idea what they were talking about due to the lack of information. However, she didn't care much about it and just thought they were talking about their past with Ain. Although she was curious about what it was, she didn't ask too much. She wasn't a person with a strong desire for control, so she would still pay attention to leaving Ain some private space.

Aine had heard them mention the popularity of homosexuality in the UK before, so she could roughly guess what they meant. After understanding what they meant, Aine blushed.

No, why are you looking at me with such a gentle look of encouragement? Qing Zhen and I are not in that kind of relationship!

Aine secretly glanced at Qing who was standing beside her with a curious look on his face. Qing also noticed Aine's peeking and immediately looked at Aine with some concern.

Aiyin quickly looked away, feeling somewhat guilty, and blushed as she hastily denied, "I, I don't understand what you are talking about! I think you must have misunderstood!"

However, her blushing denial did not clear up the misunderstanding between the two, but only confirmed her own guess. Seeing that Aine was still unwilling to confess her situation, I felt sorry for this special couple. Perhaps Aine had suffered a lot of incomprehensible looks, so she was so afraid of being discovered?

So they hurriedly comforted him: "We understand...ah, no, we know nothing!"

"Just pretend you haven't seen us. We have things to do later, so we won't bother you anymore. We're leaving now."

After saying that, the two of them quickly left the place, leaving Qing and Aine staring at each other in bewilderment.

Although Qing was not very clear about what they were talking about, and they left before Aine even said anything, and his preparation to take over at any time was in vain, but this also solved a problem, at least Aine would not be broken by them.

I can only say that reality is magical. Sometimes doing nothing is better than messing around. There is no need to gamble with the other party, who will also make up for it on his own. So Qing can completely accept the current situation. She will not rely on her amazing wisdom to start micro-manipulation. There is no need at all.

So Qing coughed lightly and said nonchalantly: "Since everything is fine, let's continue shopping."

However, when Qing was about to take a step forward, Aiyin grabbed Qing's hand and stopped her from moving forward. Qing turned around and saw Aiyin looking at her with a resentful look. She understood something in her heart, but she still looked puzzled and asked: "What's wrong?"

Aiyin narrowed her eyes and stared at Qing. Seeing that Qing was still playing dumb, she asked unkindly, "What was that weird tone of yours just now? And what about that ritual?"

Is that really the case... Qing actually knew that her actions just now would easily make Aine think of something, but she couldn't care less in the emergency just now. It took her a lot of effort to sort out her thoughts and react quickly, and it would be better for her to explain afterwards than for Aine to be caught off guard by others.

But since she had to play dumb, she might as well pretend to be dumb to the end. After all, Qing couldn't explain to Aine how she knew that Aine had failed to study in the UK.

So Qingsha said in a serious tone: "Huh? I was just joking with them, because they seemed to suspect that I was a foreigner, so I just followed their lead and pretended to be one."

However, of course, there was no way Aine would just believe Ao's nonsense. First of all, Ao had never had such a "sense of humor" towards strangers.

Secondly, the ritual that Qing performed was very problematic. It was a standard Catholic ritual, but the school that Aiyin attended in the UK was a full-boarding religious school. The religion was the Anglican Church, which can basically be said to be a derivative of the Catholic Church. Its rituals are no different from those of the Catholic Church. So the ritual that Qing just performed was exactly the ritual that Aiyin often performed in school in the UK. This can hardly be considered a coincidence.

Finally, there is the information provided by the past that should have been forgotten, which does not need to be elaborated on.

So Aine kept asking, “Really? I don’t believe it! You must have known something. Tell me how much you know!”

Qing's response to this was also very firm, and the main point was that he refused to admit it: "Eh? What do I know? How could I not know? Aiyin, can you tell me what I know?"

Seeing that Qing didn't want to answer, Aiyin puffed up her face in anger, but she didn't plan to continue asking. After all, she could probably guess that if she continued asking, it might involve Qing's previous investigation of her, and then Qing's purpose of approaching her before might also be drawn out.

Aiyin vowed to forget everything, not to let Qing fall out with her again because of these insignificant things, so in order not to repeat the same mistake, Aiyin would not ask too much. She just wanted to know how well Qing knew her.

But even thinking this way, Aiyin still felt a little unhappy. She didn't know how much of it was because Qing refused to confess to her, and how much of it was because she recalled the unhappy memories. So Aiyin didn't want to let Qing go, but what could she do if she didn't want to let him go?

So Aiyin could only get angry and sullen, turning her head away and no longer looking at Qing. She stared at the fish in the aquarium angrily without saying a word, as if the fish in the aquarium had offended her.

However, Aine seemed to have forgotten something, or rather, she had forgotten something on purpose, which made her angry look stupid.

Qing looked at Aiyin helplessly, who was still holding his hand tightly even when he was angry. Then he looked at Aiyin's profile, which was full of "I'm angry". Four big words emerged in his mind: Ah, I'm dead!
