The Elegant Life of the Maodao Family

Feel very envious.

When we arrived at the place lined with buildings of the Faculty of Engineering.Meifan said:

"I'll go back to my research room to put down my things first, and then I'll take you to the room of the Reasoning Research Club. I have to give him the book the professor asked me to buy."

Mao Dao nodded.

The room of the laboratory where Miho belongs is on the third floor of a relatively new building.Miho would always be out of breath when climbing up to three floors, because she hadn't done any decent exercise, so it was only natural.But Mao Dao's situation is only worse than hers.Miho always thought that Mao Dao was the type who would usually do sports, so she was very surprised.

Next to the assistant's room is the assistant classroom, and next to it is the professor's room.

"I'll be right back, just wait a minute."

That being said, Miho left Maodao alone in the messy room and did not come back until 10 minutes later because she was caught by the teaching assistant.

When he came back, Mao Dao was sitting on the swivel chair in front of two terminals arranged at right angles in the corner of the room, looking at the Brazilian wood placed in the corner by the window.Miho really doesn't know what's so interesting about those foliage plants that are everywhere.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

She called out to greet her, but Master Maodao didn't notice at first.Meifan felt that he was really enthusiastic about watching Brazilian wood, but Mao Dao suddenly muttered in a tone that he couldn't tell who he was talking to:

"Break this branch and sweet sap will flow out. I had a bad experience last time..."

"what?"

Miho couldn't help asking back.

Mao Dao seemed to realize that Mei Fan had returned at this time, and when he saw Mei Fan's face, Mei Fan could see that he was slightly embarrassed.

"The TA asked me about the student report. Sorry I'm so late."

Miho said it again.

"Are you bored?"

"It's nothing. You won't get tired of looking at the fish over there."

"Ah, it's a goldfish. You don't want to keep this."

"As for goldfish, there are also some in glass tanks at home."

"Haha...that must be the rare butterfly tail."

"I do not know."

"What kind of goldfish is it?"

Mao Dao showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, and thought for a long time before answering:

"It's ugly. The head is round with bumps and bumps, and the tail fin is right-angled. Some people say this is ideal, but I don't like it. The simple fish here is better."

"The Maodao family has butterfly tails. Goldfish with beautiful tail fins are more than two zeros more expensive than this one."

"If you like it, I'll send you to raise it here."

"No."

Chiushima seemed to be sincerely proposing that, but Miho immediately refused.If that goldfish was present, he would definitely say no.

"Why do you keep such expensive goldfish if you're not interested?"

"I don't know. Someone gave it to me."

"It seems that the person who gave the gift didn't do their homework beforehand."

"Yes."

Mao Dao agreed with the feeling that he had nothing to do with him.After this uncreative and uninteresting conversation was interrupted, the two walked out of Miho's room.

They walked side by side down the long corridor.

It seems that Chishima from the Faculty of Economics has come to the school building of the Faculty of Engineering for the first time.His eyes kept rolling back and forth.Especially the postgraduate room with the door open, he even stood still and looked inside.

It was as messy as Meifan's assistant's room, with several computers connected together.There are also many mechanical tools that laymen can't understand at all, crowded on the table and on the floor.The two students in the room saw Miho and said hello, then one went back to continue operating the computer, and the other flipped through the weekly manga magazine.

"Liu Wu, how is your progress?"

"Now the computer is processing the data, and it's hard to say until it's over."

"Show me the experimental data after you're done."

Miho and the student who didn't lift their eyes from the manga book said these few words, and then shrugged at Chishima.

"The liberal arts department and the science and engineering department don't feel the same?"

"Although I don't know anything about this department, it must be different."

It doesn't matter if you don't have to work at all. This may be the supreme environment for ordinary people, but it may be unexpectedly hard to actually stand in that position.Looking sideways at Mao Dao, she was not moved, and she still had a melancholy expression, Miho felt so indifferently.

Always has an expressionless side face like a nobleman.

Miho wondered if he didn't have the opportunity to express his emotions to his heart's content.Even just once, Miho really wanted to see the change in his expression.

"Since there is no need to work, isn't it good to continue your studies?"

"My grades are not good enough to enter the graduate school."

"Is that so..."

Meifan is also ignorant of Mao Dao's achievements.She didn't want to ask such a personal topic any more, so she didn't say any more.

"I'm not interested in studying."

"Then what are you interested in?"

"Human death, so be it."

Mao Dao said flatly.

As a result, this is a question that Miho should never have asked.She regretted violently.Both of Mao Dao's parents died in a car accident in New York. It is said that it happened shortly after he entered college.

"Sorry, I said something rude..."

Mao Dao quietly interrupted Guan Fan's words.

"I don't see any faux pas."

Miho didn't answer.

In the club room of the Mystery Fiction Research Club, there was only one junior student.

"Oh, Mr. Ogawa."

This girl happened to be a student of the engineering department and knew Miho.For a moment, she looked suspiciously at Mao Dao.

"Tomosaka-san, do you have any leftovers from the club magazine that was released last time? Could you please lend us a copy?"

"Ah, um, the review was pretty good. You don't need to borrow it, just give you a copy."

"is this okay?"

The girl named Tomosaka nodded vigorously.

"Of course. Since it was printed by myself, there are quite a few left. We want to sell it at the end of the year event, but it is impossible to sell all of them, right?"

"An event at the end of the year? Is it the so-called Winter Comics Convention?"

"Wow, no way? How did you know?"

"Who has heard that before?"

Miho was very worried that Kayaoshima would be cut off from the conversation alone, but it would be too impossible to explain every word to him.Fortunately, Mao Dao will not ask questions one by one by himself.Even Miho would feel troubled when asked this question.

"Teacher, is this gentleman... your boyfriend?"

With a curious expression on his face, Tomosaka muttered to Miho in a low voice.

"certainly not."

Miho waved her hands vigorously in front of her chest, blushing slightly.She looked back at Mao Dao to make sure he hadn't heard her, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"He's a graduate of this university. My contemporaries. It's Mr. Mashima Sumato."

"Oh, why is this so?"

"What do you mean by this?"

Miho glared at her lightly.

Tomosaka stuck out his tongue and laughed.

"Seeing that you brought such a considerate and handsome man, I thought it was yours."

This time her voice was loud, and Mao Dao also raised his head and exchanged a glance with Miho.

"Hey, you really are. Don't be kidding, hurry up and get the book."

"Yes yes yes~"

Tomosaka stood up and walked towards the mountain of cardboard boxes beside the wall.Miho winked at Mao Dao.

"This time is really too rude."

"……nothing."

Mao Dao stood there as if he didn't know where to go.

"Are there any other appointments for today?"

Miho asked this question without any deep meaning, it was just a social rhetoric.

"There's a reveal meeting tonight."

"Disclosure meeting?"

"It's a salon concert held in a personal home. A young Russian pianist named Andrey was invited. Most likely he can play Chopin."

"Oh, that's wonderful and noble."

Miho's statement seems to make Chiushima a little angry.Did he feel that he was teasing, but Miho really didn't mean it that way, if he was talking about it, it should be pure envy.

"If you don't have a reservation, come with me."

"what?"

Chiushima said something very surprising in his usual monotonous tone, and Miho couldn't help being stunned.Tomosaka, who happened to be back next to the two of them, seemed to be giggling.

"Oh, are you ready to go on a date in this kind of place?"

"That's not it!"

Seeing Tomosaka who misunderstood something, Miho became angry.

"I said it wasn't like that!"

"Wouldn't it be nice to go to a concert together? Maybe a relationship will sprout like this."

"Don't let your imagination run wild!"

Miho took the thin printed matter from Tomosaka.

"Give this to me. Thank you."

"Ah, please give me your thoughts after reading it."

"I'll email the minister."

"I'm not talking about your feelings, teacher."

Miho ignored Tomosaka's gaze and turned to Chishima.

"He's very busy, don't force him."

As a result, Miho's alternative answer aroused Yusaka Shin's curiosity.

"But this one doesn't look like a busy person?"

"Even though he's not doing anything, he's just busy."

Miho handed the pamphlet to Mashima while saying something that even she didn't understand.Although he must have heard the two women talking about him, Mao Dao turned the pages of the book with an expression of knowing nothing.

"This teacher's friend is really interesting. I have never seen such a personality."

The time we spend together is only a little bit, but Yusaka has already seen that Maodao has a feeling of transcending the world.so
