"You'll tell me, won't you? Your boyfriend... Marina."
Qiu Bai's words entered Marina's mind, making Marina's heart tighten.
"Um……"
Mari responded with a sound of agreement, seemingly trying to adjust her mindset.
She didn't want to betray Masato Ohno, but she also didn't want to deceive Akihaku in front of her.
"Sigh~" Marina had reached her answer. She looked at Akihachi, her slightly trembling purple eyes hardening, and murmured, "His name is Ohno Masato... He's my classmate, but we've only talked about dating, we haven't done anything yet..."
"Brother Qiu Bai, we've never even held hands. It's true. Just ask any of our classmates and they'll know."
"so……"
She wanted Qiu Bai to be treated leniently, as she still had some feelings for her ex-boyfriend.
Well, after Qiu Bai found out, she never thought she could continue to be boyfriend and girlfriend with Masato Ohno.
Just then, a wisp of dark purple soul fragment emerged from Qiu Bai's hand that was stroking Marina's cheek and merged into her body.
He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, withdrew his hand, and continued speaking to Marina in front of him:
"I know, and I don't want things to get too tense. As long as we break up... I'll let bygones be bygones."
Marina finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Akihaku's words.
Fortunately, Qiu Bai did not want Ya Ren to drop out of school.
"Thank you, Brother Qiubai." She smiled slightly, then nodded and said, "I understand, I'll listen to you... I'll break up with him."
Seeing her obedient appearance, Qiu Bai was secretly delighted.
Marina is too naive.
How could I possibly let that guy go?
However, Qiu Bai naturally has many methods, and the split soul placed on Marina will naturally take effect at that time.
"That's good. But you mustn't be soft-hearted, or else..." Qiu Bai's expression changed, and she said seriously, "If you don't listen, I'll talk about your situation at the morning meeting and make it a warning to others."
“Otherwise, the school will be in complete chaos, and I don’t want you to make a mess of things while I’m teaching at Sheng Hua.”
Marina nodded repeatedly, but then seemed to hear something important.
"Go...to become a teacher at Shenghua?" She suddenly looked at Qiu Bai, blinking her eyes, then a hint of surprise flashed in them.
So, Qiu Bai, you dropped out of school to become a teacher at Sheng Hua University!
How could Marina not know about Seika?
That's a prestigious school!
“Yes, didn’t I tell you?” Qiu Bai stroked his chin, and after a brief moment of thought, he seemed to remember something. “It seems… I really didn’t tell you.”
Marina is now certain that Akihaku is indeed going to become a teacher!
The requirements for being a teacher at a prestigious school are naturally extremely demanding.
However, Qiu Bai was actually able to become a teacher at a prestigious elite school during his senior year of high school...
How could Marina not be shocked?
"That's amazing... We're both high school students, but Qiu Bai is already a teacher..."
She couldn't help but sigh, gazing at Qiu Bai in front of her. After a slight pause, she asked Qiu Bai, "Speaking of which, Qiu Bai, what kind of teacher are you?"
Marina had already poured out her heart, and seemed to have no burden at all. Instead, she became curious about Akihaku's affairs.
"Well, I'm not telling you that."
Qiu Bai naturally wouldn't tell Marina.
If you're going to make this up, there's no need for that.
……
After chatting briefly with Marina, Airi, who had already showered, came in wearing her pajamas.
Ellie was holding a deck of cards and speaking to Akihachi and Marina in front of her:
Let's play cards!
Chapter 152 Gift
Qiu Bai played cards until midnight before heading home. It was rare for him to play so late with Airi, Marina, and the others.
This time, Qiu Bai still took the route through the window, since going through the main entrance might disturb them.
……
As the rain pattered down, Qiu Bai scaled the wall into his small courtyard, quickly climbed over it, pushed open the carved window of his bedroom, slipped inside, and then closed the window behind him.
The room was pitch black, with only a few rays of moonlight filtering through the gauze curtains, casting a faint blue glow.
He let out a long sigh of relief, leaned against the window frame, and whispered, "Finally back."
"But, is Qiong asleep at this hour? It is indeed a bit late."
My gaze swept across the bedroom when I suddenly felt a gaze on me. I quickly turned my head and looked in the direction of the gaze.
pat.
Suddenly the lights were turned on.
At first glance, it appears to be Xuefeng leaning against the bedroom door, arms crossed over her chest, eyes fixed on Qiubai.
"Seriously, I sent you a message using Qiong's phone, and you still took so long to reply?"
She spoke directly to Qiu Bai.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Bai immediately understood that the previous message was sent by Xue Feng, which explained why it didn't seem like it was from Qiong.
“I’m telling you, don’t use other people’s phones to text me… I was just wondering why it felt so weird.”
Qiu Bai covered his forehead and couldn't help but start complaining to Xue Feng.
If Qiong knew that he had run away, she would definitely be anxious and talk to him for a while before she would feel at ease.
It seemed like the other party already knew about the previous messages; they simply told him to come back as soon as possible, without showing any particular anxiety like He Qiong did.
If it's Yukikaze, that's normal; soldiers do prioritize efficiency and have developed a habit of being quick, concise, and efficient.
"Sigh~ We got caught. How boring."
Xuefeng sighed and looked at Qiubai, recalling what had happened at the bathhouse.
She never expected Qiu Bai to crawl into her bed, and if she remembered correctly, she was indeed...
Yeah, it still hurts a bit...
Xuefeng's cheeks were flushed as she slowly walked towards Qiubai, her two pink eyes fixed on him.
"Um... Yukikaze, just say what you want to say."
Qiu Bai couldn't stand being stared at like that, so he spoke to her directly.
When Xuefeng heard Qiubai ask, he didn't mince words. "You're not going to renege on your promise, are you? You haven't forgotten what you did at the bathhouse, have you?"
She put on a serious expression, as if afraid that Qiu Bai would renege on the debt and deny it.
"No, how could I forget something like that?"
Qiu Bai also raised his hand and stroked Xue Feng's little head to soothe Xue Feng's temper.
If this little girl gets angry, she'll be in real trouble.
“I will naturally take responsibility for those matters.”
He didn't beat around the bush; instead, he directly reassured Xuefeng.
Qiu Bai intends to take responsibility for all the girls he's involved with, and he won't leave any out.
This is also what his heart desires.
"Hmph~ You're smart."
As Xuefeng was stroked by Qiubai, she felt a sense of comfort in her heart.
This feeling is pretty good.
Qiu Bai was quite pleased to see Xue Feng's current docile demeanor.
Yukikaze's temper has really improved a lot compared to before~
However, Qiu Bai was still somewhat worried about her, as she was an anti-demon ninja.
After a moment's thought, he looked at the gold ring on his hand; it was a defensive ring.
Qiu Bai separated another wisp of his soul and infused it into the ring, so that the soul could provide magic to the ring.
He took the defensive ring off his middle finger and handed it to Yukikaze.
"Since we haven't seen each other for so long, I'll give you a gift this time."
Qiu Bai wasn't stingy, after all, he was also worried that something might happen to Xue Feng in the battle against the demon ninja, which would be bad.
He preferred to learn how to use the defensive ring, so he could keep an eye on the situation and use it to withstand any trouble.
After taking the ring, Xuefeng examined it carefully, looking somewhat surprised.
Moreover, this ring doesn't seem to be anything special...
But she couldn't explain it either.
"this is?"
Xuefeng held the ring, then turned to Qiubai and asked him a question.
Clearly, she didn't know what the ring was.
Qiu Bai simply smiled faintly and didn't say much, explaining simply: "This is something that can protect you. You should always carry it with you... Understand?"
As he finished speaking, a serious look remained on his face.
"Ah good."
Yukikaze nodded, indicating his agreement.
Seeing Qiu Bai's expression, she roughly understood the importance of this item, especially since it was a ring.
I wonder... could this be considered a token of love?
"Wait a minute." Yukikaze suddenly sensed something was off, then looked at Qiubai with suspicion and asked, "You didn't give this to Lala, and Sora... all of them, did you?"
She was curious whether it was just her or everyone else had it.
Otherwise, wouldn't I have been happy for nothing?
I thought it was a gift that Qiu Bai gave her alone!
However, Qiu Bai's answer did not disappoint her.
No, this gift... is just for you.
Qiu Bai's eyes also showed seriousness. He then placed his hand on Xue Feng's shoulder and said in a heavy tone, "Being an anti-demon ninja is very dangerous... This might save your life."
"Hmm... Hmm!?" Xuefeng suddenly sensed something was wrong and quickly looked into Qiubai's serious eyes.
Wait a minute! How did he know I was a Demon Ninja?!
You never said that yourself, did you?
Before Xuefeng could even ask, Qiubai could already see the shock, confusion, and bewilderment in her eyes.
Qiu Bai simply smiled again and began to explain to Xue Feng: "You must be very curious as to why I knew you were a Demon Ninja, right?"
"To be honest, you don't need to act anymore... After all, your dear mother has already told me everything."
Yukikaze froze, completely stunned. He hadn't expected it to be Shiranui who said it.
Doesn't this mean...?
Does Qiu Bai already know everything?
What was the point of all that effort I put into keeping it from Qiu Bai?!
Damn it... Mom doesn't tell me anything!
