my girlfriend is bad lady

Chapter 167 167. School Trip (16)

When the bus passed the Uji Bridge, Watanabe Che rang the bell and got off the bus with Kiyono Rin.

Uji Bridge, the oldest surviving pure Japanese-style bridge in the island country, has a total length of 153 meters and was built in 646 AD.

Up to now, although reinforced concrete is inevitably used for the bridge body, the railings still retain the wooden structure, which has a sense of history.

Next to the bridge stands a stone statue of Murasaki Shikibu, the author of "The Tale of Genji". Under the bridge is the Uji River where Sanqianzi usually practiced the Euphonium.

"Is there anything special here?" Kiyono Rin asked while holding the railing.

"It's nothing special, I just want to take a walk by the river with Kiyono-san on an autumn afternoon." Watanabe Che looked at the rolling white waves.

"lie."

Che Watanabe smiled and said, "Actually, it's because there are beautiful reeds here. As an oboe player and a professional reed maker, I have a good impression of reeds as the raw material of reeds."

"It's such a boring reason."

"Boring?" Watanabe Che turned his head and looked at Kiyono Rin's side face looking into the distance. "In this world, there are people who like the sky, some who love flowers, and some who are fascinated by trams. Do you think they are all boring?"

"No." Kiyono Rin denied in a casual tone, "I just want to satirize you. I'm not interested in knowing what other people like."

"It's really cunning, R-san, even if you say that, it's hard for me to get angry even if I'm ridiculed by you."

Kiyono Rin turned his head and looked at Watanabe Che.

She pushed her hair behind her ears and said with a smile, "This is one of the ways to make you like me."

The breeze from the Uji River brushed her cheeks, her long hair swayed gently, and there was a scent that made Watanabe Che very comfortable.

"If you tell the purpose, I won't be moved at all."

"It's okay, I don't want to do something too simple." Kiyono Rin said confidently.

"Admiration." Watanabe Che nodded, and his eyes followed the endlessly flowing water of the Uji River again, looking into the distance.

On the river beach far away, there was a bird with snow-white feathers parked, with something in its beak.

Watanabe Che stuck his head out from the railing in order to see clearly.

Kiyono Rin glanced at him. Compared with him, the wooden railing seemed too short, and it always felt like people would fall off easily.

She subconsciously reached out and gently grabbed the corner of his school uniform.

"Pond heron? Egret? Or egret?" Watanabe Che turned his head, "Master Qingye, what is that?"

Kiyono Rin let go of his hand calmly, followed his gaze just now, and said, "Catch it first, and let me see it clearly before I can tell you what it is."

"Then let's go! I think it's quite fat, and I can already imagine the scene of the fat dripping on the coals and bursting into flames when it's roasting."

The two walked down the stairs next to the bridge.

"Qing Ye, do you like chili powder for barbecue? I heard that some people like to eat it dipped in sugar. It is an unimaginable perverted behavior."

"When I eat roast suckling pig, I occasionally try the perverted behavior that Watanabe Che said."

"When I think of the way Kiyono-san eats it dipped in sugar, the way he eats it becomes cute."

The two leaned over while chatting.

Unfortunately, before the two could approach, the white bird raised its long neck, swallowed the fish in its mouth, patted the water surface with its wings, and flew away.

The two continued to stroll along the river, walking on the embankment paved with stones.

The luxuriant maple leaves shine through the sun.Benches are placed along the river where joggers or tourists rest.

"Fusang is just in good autumn, and the maple leaves are like dandelions shining tenderly." Watanabe Che chanted loudly.

"Who wrote it?"

"Lu Xun."

Kiyono Rin nodded quietly, looking into the distance.

Under the brilliance of the sun, the surface of the Uji River is shining with colorful lights, and the water hits wooden posts or stones, splashing white droplets.

In the distance, the mountain peaks ushering in the maple leaf season are dyed red and yellow.

She looked back and noticed that Watanabe Che had picked a pampas grass from the surrounding weeds and waved it as he walked.

Not knowing why, she suddenly became happy, and a touch of warmth filled her chest.

"Watanabe-san, do you want to hear my story?" She said this in an emotion she had never felt before.

"I'm not interested in other people's past." Che Watanabe stopped waving the miscanthus, turned to look at her, "except R-san."

Kiyono Rin did not express any opinion on this sentence.

"I've been living without expectations," she said, "I don't associate with anyone, and I don't expect others' responses when I do anything, and I don't need others' responses."

Watanabe Che remained silent, staring at the reeds not far ahead.

"When I was young, everyone laughed, and I didn't even want to raise my eyebrows. Maybe it's more accurate to say that I can't raise my eyebrows, because the things that caused the laughter were all outright lies, and I just felt sick."

"This kind of past, I can probably guess." Watanabe Che nodded.

Under the shadow of the maple, the two headed towards the reeds.

"At that time, I would mercilessly point out that others were lying. At first, everyone treated me like a child and laughed indifferently. Look at me."

There were two girls sitting by the river beach, Kiyono Rin stopped to narrate.

When she was far away from those two people, she laughed at herself: "People around me started to stay away from me, teasing me for being arrogant, including your Meiji."

At the last sentence, she smiled and glanced at Che Watanabe.

Watanabe Che threw the miscanthus into the river in embarrassment, and clapped his hands.

Kiyono Rin said with a smile: "I didn't mean to blame you, after all, it has nothing to do with you."

The two walked to the reeds, and Watanabe sat down on the old bench.He patted the extra position beside him, motioning for Kiyono Rin to sit down too.

Kiyono Rin pressed the pleated skirt and sat beside him in a very ladylike manner.

The two sat in the shade of a tree and watched the rushing Uji River side by side for a long time.

"I don't think the problem is with you," Watanabe said. "You are fundamentally different from them. You are a flower that blooms in the wrong season."

"Wrong season?"

"The focus should be on the flowers, right?" Watanabe Che looked at her, "I really like your character."

Kiyono Rin put his hand on his chin, and smiled happily with a hint of mischief: "Tell me separately?"

"Don't even think about it, I like Miki." After resolutely refusing, Watanabe Che looked at Ujigawa again, "I thought you would be in a negative mood now, but I didn't expect you to be joking."

"The world is not gentle with negative people, Watanabe-san."

"That makes sense, I learned it again." Che Watanabe nodded solemnly.

He wanted to say some comforting words, but Kiyono Rin was not a weak person who needed comfort, and he didn't say these things to win his sympathy.

What's more, he has never had the same experience, no matter how much he put himself in the situation, the comfort he said was a layer away.

The breeze rustled the leaves overhead.

A reddish leaf fell on Kiyono Rin's lap.

She gently picked up the leaf, facing the sunlight squeezing in from the leaf, whispered in a deep voice:
"The wind is blowing, do you want to live hard? No, there is no need to do so."

Watanabe Che suddenly became sad, and he realized that Kiyono Rin's past was not just what she just said.

He picked up a leaf that was still intact from the ground.

"It is precisely because of the rot of these maple leaves that more beautiful cherry blossoms will bloom here next spring."

Kiyono Rin laughed, and retracted the hand holding Maple Leaf.

"I just remembered this sentence suddenly, Watanabe-san doesn't need to be so anxious to comfort me."

"...I'm just talking casually, you think too much."

"Watanabe, you really like to lie." Kiyono Rin smiled helplessly, turning the handle of the maple leaf briskly with her slender hands.

"I'm really sorry, I've become a life you hate." Watanabe Che apologized without any apology.

"Sometimes even if you hate it, you still have to endure it. That's how life is."

"Indeed, but I'm a little sad when you say that."

"I just said, I don't expect anyone, right?" Kiyono Rin looked at him.

"Yes." Watanabe Che threw the leaf in his hand under the bare cherry tree.

"This attitude lasted until Watanabe-san showed up. I had expectations for you—although I was reluctant to admit it."

"What kind of expectations?"

"I don't know." Kiyono Rin turned his gaze to the river, showing a thoughtful expression, "This kind of feeling is very vague, if I have to say it... It's like I fell into the Uji River now, I don't expect anyone to save me, they will Won't come to my rescue, and I don't care, but if you didn't jump down and save me right away, I should be very angry."

"The water is so fast, and there are so many stones, what should I do if I drown too?"

"Then do you dance or not?"

"There's nothing to say about that." Watanabe Che replied, "No matter when you fall into what kind of river, I will jump in to save you without hesitation."

"Then you have to exercise your swimming skills. With my caution, if you really fall, it must be the most dangerous river." Kiyono Rin smiled slightly.

That smile is like a floating cloud in the distance, gurgling in the air like quicksand.

"I can't guarantee it, but," Watanabe Che picked up a stone on the ground and threw it with all his strength, "even if there is a strong wind, life will never give up."

Kiyono Rin caught up with the stone.

The stone did not fall until it disappeared from sight.

"Watanabe-san, you are obviously very smart, but you deliberately pretend to be stupid and casual. Deep down in your heart, you must look down on everyone and think everyone is an idiot, right?"

"There is absolutely no such thing." Watanabe Che denied it.

"Well, I'm lying again." Kiyono Rin said with a smile.

The surrounding weeds are overgrown, unknown flowers are blooming everywhere, and the reeds are almost as tall as a person, swaying comfortably in the wind.

The sun went west again, and the shade of the trees overhead deviated, and the two were bathed in the sun.

On the way back to Kyoto from Uji, Kiyono Rin has been sleeping.

Even in the clear sky, the inside of the tram car is also bright.

Back at Dongshanzhuang, Watanabe Che went to the boys' shop in Class [-], planning to spend the last time together if anyone was playing cards.

In the end, there was no card player, but there was one "corpse" of Osamu Kuni.

Watanabe Che looked at him, and asked Saito Keisuke who was playing the game, "Failed?"

"'I appreciate Kuni-san's gentleness, and I also like to play games with you, but let's be friends when we meet'." Saito Keisuke squeezed his throat, imitating Aoi Kazuki's tone.

"It's so noisy!" Osamu Kuni, who was lying on the tatami with his back to them, threw the pillow over.

Seeing the pillow coming towards his forehead, Watanabe Che had no choice but to reach out to stop it.

Keisuke Saito didn't care, his fingers were still frantically pressing the button of the switch, and he said: "It's just a confession failure. The chance is not great. You should have been mentally prepared."

Watanabe Che glanced at him.

This guy, who was the most active person to encourage Osamu Kuni before confessing his confession, is now watching a joke.

But being able to stay and accompany here is already a way for boys to express their friendship.

"Kunii." Watanabe Che walked over holding the pillow, "Get up."

Kuni Osamu said nothing.

Watanabe Che kicked his ass.

"What?!" Osamu Kuni asked impatiently.

"Take you out to relax."

"No!" Kuni Osamu put the quilt on his head.

"If you don't go, I'll tell everyone in the school about your liking for Ichiki and about being rejected."

"You want to talk about it!"

"And the type of movie you like."

"You——!!!" Osamu Kuni lifted the quilt and glared at Che Watanabe.

Osamu Kuni likes the sibling type, the kiss type.

"One Aoi is a trivial matter," Watanabe Che threw the pillow aside, and his tone was understated, "If people know about your interest, you have been in private school for three years, no, maybe you won't be able to get a girlfriend in an institution of higher learning."

"Go, why don't I go!" Osamu Kuni gave up on himself.

"Look at how promising you are." Che Watanabe scolded with a smile, "Isn't it your girlfriend? You went to a leading private school in Tokyo, with a national academic record of [-]. You have a well-developed motor nerve. You entered Koshien just after entering school. Do you still worry about not finding a girlfriend?"

"Why did Ichiki reject me?"

"Don't like baseball?"

"Then what does she like?"

"football?"

"Then I'll join the rugby club next year." Osamu Kuni picked up his school uniform suit jacket and put it on with a depressed expression.

"Wait, how do I know what Aoi Kazuki likes? You guys have a bit of your own judgment, okay?"

After Osamu Kuni got dressed, he walked up to Keisuke Saito and grabbed the game console.

"What are you doing! I played for 10 minutes, but I haven't saved it yet! Return it to me!"

Osamu Kuni sneered cruelly and turned off the phone mercilessly.

"I, I think for the sake of your broken relationship, I don't care about you today!"

After arguing for a while, the three of them walked out of Tongpu and walked towards the gate.

On the way, Che Watanabe said to Osamu Kuni: "It's not bad to fail even once. If a person wants to become great, failure is a necessary process."

Osamu Kuni stared at the ground and walked without saying a word.

Watanabe Che didn't care about his reaction, and continued: "Even if I'm as great as I am, I just wanted to let it go. After experiencing some unbearable things for ordinary people, I got rid of the meaningless life before and wanted to become a great person."

"How about muddling along?" Saito Keisuke asked.

"Assuming that the average person's standard of wealth is an annual income of 1000 million or 2000 million yen, then I can live a mediocre life with an annual income of at least [-] million or [-] million yen."

"Are you passing it off?" Kuni Osamu said in a bad mood.

"I can't help it. The bottom line of my business is relatively high. If other colleagues know that my annual income is only [-] million yen, I will probably be laughed out of my teeth."

"What occupation? Can you introduce it to me?" Keisuke Saito asked curiously.

"Tokyo guy."

"Isn't it just a little boy?" Kuni Osamu said disdainfully.

"Forget it, the little boy is also in our business scope." Watanabe Che endured him.

When the three of them walked to the door, they met unexpected people-Rin Kiyono, and Aoi Kazuki.

Saito Keisuke smiled wickedly, and poked Kuni Osamu's side with his elbow.

Kuni Osamu pushed him away vigorously.

Seeing the three of them, Ichiki Aoi also felt a little embarrassed.

Watanabe Che stepped forward: "Where is this going?"

"Ichiki-san said that there is a very accurate divination agency, and I want to check it out." Kiyono Rin replied.

"Divination?" Watanabe Che thought for a while, "Can we go together? I just didn't know where to go."

"Watanabe!" Osamu Kuni walked up quickly and shouted in a low voice.

Watanabe Che ignored him and said to Aoi Kazuki, "Student Kazuki, do you mind if we go together?"

"Ah, um." Aoi Kazuki replied a little later.

So, the five of them walked out of Dongshan Villa together, preparing to go to the divination agency.

The three boys fell behind.

"Watanabe, what are you doing?" Kuni Osamu asked angrily in a low voice.

"Is it embarrassing to fail in confession?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense!"

"You are classmates, and you will meet every day in the future. Maybe you will be in the same class next year. Instead of waiting for the embarrassment later, it is better to take advantage of the present and deal with the sadness and embarrassment after failure, and all these negative emotions in one go."

"I" Kuni Osamu looked at Kazuki Aoi's back in front of him.

Watanabe Che followed his gaze, glanced at Kazuki Aoi, and quickly shifted his gaze to Kiyono Rin.

"Don't thank me," he patted Kuni Osamu on the shoulder, "After all, as an Ultraman, it is my mission to forcibly guide humans."

"Don't be so handsome! You are obviously a card face to beat pie!" Kuni Osamu patted Watanabe Che's hand away.

"There is no difference, there is no difference, they are all partners of justice."
