Chapter 156: Long Hair (1/2)

“Rumi? Why are you here?” Lei Yin was a bit surprised to see the girl with the long hair before him.

“I was accompanying my classmate to a concert tonight. And as we were riding, we passed by you, I thought it was the wrong person, but it really is you senpai. Senpai, what brings you here?”

“Nothing, just accompanying my two classmates to a boring party. We’ve just finished, so I’m preparing to go back now.”

“You’re going back to school?”

“Yes.”

“But it’s already late, you should go home and rest for the night, don’t you still have classes tomorrow?”

Lei Yin looked at the time, and found that it was already past 11.

“Well, let’s go back together then.” Lei Yin thought about it, and nodded.

Rumi was very happy, pulling him to the parked taxi.

In the car, Lei Yin saw another girl with a short hair sitting inside, it seemed she was Rumi’s classmate.

“Senpai, she’s my classmate, Soseki Eimi. Eimi, this is Gennai Masashi, remember the senpai I was talking to you about. He’s now a student at Teikyo University first grade.” Rumi introduced them to each other.

“Hello.” Lei Yin greeted the girl with a smile.

“Hello.” Soseki Eimi’s face was red, as she said something in a low voice.

“Rumi, actually I don’t oppose…..” Lei Yin wasn’t able to finish, as his phone suddenly ringing.

As soon as Lei Yin answered, right away Takeda’s shouting voice came over the phone.

“Masashi, you bastard! Where did you go? Why did you suddenly turn off your phone? I thought you were dead!”

Because of all useless complaints, Lei Yin moved the phone a foot away from him.

After a while, when he heard him say “hello, hello” on the phone, Lei Yin pulled it back near his ear.

“I’m fine, I’m about to go home. Where are you?”

“I just came back from the hotel, this sucks, I just bought this suit and it’s already all wet….”

“Well, just tell me about it when we meet tomorrow.” Lei Yin didn’t want to hear any more of it, and immediately hung up.

“Senpai, was that your classmate?” Rumi asked.

“Yes, he is a very troublesome guy.”

“What did you just want to tell me?”

“Well, although I was interrupted in the middle of my preaching, but it’s not going to be long. You girls wanting to go watch a concert or a movie is very normal, but next time don’t be so late, understand?”

“I’m sorry, senpai.” Rumi said, as she lowered her head.

“Fool, I’m not blaming you, just worried that something might happen to you.” Seeing Rumi being serious, Lei Yin reworded what he had said, so as to avoid giving off a heavy feeling.

“Gennai-senpai, in fact I’m the one who pulled Rumi along, please don’t blame her. Because it was hard to find a taxi, so I dragged her until this late at night.” Soseki Eimi timidly explained.

“It seems like I turned into a nasty warden uncle. Well, next time this happens, remember to give me a call, and I’ll come to pick you up.”

“Thank you, senpai.” Rumi looked at him without blinking.

Soseki Eimi looked at them at the side with a strange look.

Because of the traffic on the nearby route, the taxi had to take the long route.

“Senpai, I heard there was a fire at a nearby hotel, but fortunately you weren’t there.” Rumi said as she looked at the crowd who were nearby the traffic.

“Sorry, I just came out from there. The fire at Keio Hotel, I was also there with my classmates, because of the fire incident, I ran away from there.”

“Were you hurt?” Rumi held his hand, and very nervously asked.

“Rest assured, I’m all right. In fact, my classmate just called me because of that event, and seems like he had also safely returned.”

Hearing Lei Yin’s answer, Rumi was finally relieved.

Half an hour later, after Rumi sent Soseki Eimi home, and since Rumi’s room wasn’t too far, she suddenly proposed to walk there.

“Hey, it’s already very late.” Lei Yin warned.

“We haven’t talked for so long senpai, just this once, please?” Rumi’s beautiful eyes widened, as she begged him.

“I really don’t know what to do with you.” saying this, he walked towards the taxi.

After paying the fare, Lei Yin turned his head towards her and said, “Good, let’s walk fast.”

Rumi very excitedly rushed over, grasping his arm.

“I thought you’d grown up a little, but it seems like you’re still a kid.” Lei Yin doted on her, and pinched her face.

“Senpai you too haven’t changed, always treating me like a child.” Rumi blushed as she said.

“You are still a kid. But to be honest, I don’t know how I’ll get used to what you’ll be like when you grow up.” Lei Yin grabbed his chin as he said so.

Hearing him talk with a father-like tone, Rumi couldn’t help but smile.

“Senpai, it’s the first time I’ve seen you put on a suit.” The young kendo girl suddenly stared at him.

“I also don’t like it and I’ve also thought of going there while wearing a t-shirt, but I was afraid I would appall everyone there.” Just like for so many years, Lei Yin still didn’t like wearing suits.

“But it looks very good on you.” Rumi lowered her head, and said something in faint voice.

The kendo girl had mixed feelings. She haven’t seen him for nearly two weeks, and seeing him here, was an enormous surprise for her. But now, seeing his neatly-slender figure, she suddenly felt like his back was getting farther and farther.

Her senpai wasn’t like all the boys she had met before. He had always been so calm and elegant. And seeing him put on a suit, he gave off a mature feeling to her.

Although their age difference was only two years. But in her senpai’s eyes, she seems to be just a child who was slowly growing up.

She desperately wanted to go to University with him, just to keep up with his pace.

However, can she really keep up with him? Rumi was suddenly agitated.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Rumi suddenly stop, Lei Yin, puzzled, looked at her.

The kendo girl didn’t made any sound, and after a few minutes she slowly raised her head.

Lei Yin was taken aback, and didn’t know since when the girl’s eyes were so full of water.

“Rumi, what happened, is someone bullying you?” Lei Yin tried to make his voice calm.

The girl shook her head, and then fell into his arms, her two hands fiercely held around his waist.

“Rumi, tell me, what really happened?” Lei Yin asked, softly stroking her long hair.

Rumi shook her head again, and whispered: “Senpai, I’m fine.”
