Chapter 58: Shadow Moment

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hayase Asuka was intrigued by Zhang Heng. For the most part, having been in China for so long, this was the first time she had come across a Chinese who was so fluent in j.a.panese, one who even spoke with an authentic Tokyo accent, which she had found very comforting.

Perhaps this poor child had been ignored for too long, not leaving the moment she got her phone back, but stayed by Zhang Heng instead, bombarding him with questions.

Chen Huadong nudged Wei Jiangyang on the shoulder and gave him a look.

The latter understood immediately and quickly said, “Xiaoxiao needs my help with something urgent. I have to go first!”

Chen Huadong chimed in, “I’ll come with you. I should be chatting on QQ 1with Xujing too.”

Ma Wei was the only one a little clueless, still caught up in that moment of furor. Based on his understanding, this was the moment to order two more large bottles of beer! Why did everyone have to leave suddenly?

Wei Jiangyang coughed twice and said, “Hey, Old Ma, you haven’t memorized the TOEFL words yet, right?”

Only then did Ma Wei suddenly get the message. They were all so focused on the two black exchange students that they did not pay much attention to Hayase Asuka. Now that they did, he realized that this girl was quite a looker with an exotic appeal so dissimilar to the likes of Chinese girls with a small face, delicate features, and short chestnut hair.

Brothers needed to create opportunities for each other!

Ma Wei nodded, “Yes, yes! I have to go back and memorize all the words. CET-6 is coming soon.”

After that, the three boys vanished without so much as a goodbye, leaving in such a hurry that the owner of the food stall thought they were trying to avoid paying for the meal!

…

Zhang Heng paid for the food, then sent Hayase Asuka back to her school. Coincidentally, the foreign university she was studying in was right next to Zhang Heng’s campus.

Hayase Asuka looked rather happy as they stood outside of the student dorm. “Can I come hang out with you for fun next time?”

Zhang Heng found this request hard to refuse, and so, the both of them exchanged phone numbers before saying goodbye. When he returned to his dorm, the atmosphere in the room seemed a little strange. All three of his housemates were there. Chen Huadong even borrowed a mahjong table from next door and set it in the center of the room with a 30,000 yuan banknote on the table. “The Court is in session! Someone! Bring me the suspect!”

“…”

“Come, Childe Zhang. You either take the initiative to confess first, or we can do it for you!” Chen Huadong wore this jealous look on his face. “Oh, how wicked of you! I’ve always asked why you never date, and it turns out you’ve been learning j.a.panese secretly so that you could woo j.a.panese girls, huh? So, has she given herself to you? Where do the both of you plan to stay in the future? China or j.a.pan? Do you want to have a son or a daughter?”

Wei Jiangyang was also very keen. “Are all j.a.panese girls very gentle?”

“You guys are overthinking! We were just making friends,” Zhang Heng said.

“Ask your conscience! You think what you did is worthy of Shen Xixi waiting for you for years?” asked Chen Huadong.
