A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 1564 - 1053: Physical Attribute Issue

"Uncle, you’re really good at causing trouble. You have no idea; the seniors were terrified after you left."

"Really?"

Sitting in the bathtub, Duanmu Huai stretched lazily, while Tachibana Rui, curled up in his arms, nodded.

"Yes, even though there’s already been a selection process, now it’s turned into needing to adjust every time before a match. Of course, although the seniors are complaining, they’re still working hard in training."

"You’re talking like it has nothing to do with you? You’re also a member of the Wind Band Club."

"I’m just trying to kill time; I don’t actually want to perform on stage."

Tachibana Rui snorted softly. Since joining the Wind Band Club, she’s been pretty laid-back — training seriously but only to a certain extent. As for whether to go to the national competition, Tachibana Rui doesn’t seem particularly concerned. Or you could say she quite likes staying in Group B --- when someone decides to slack off, there’s really nothing you can do about it.

"Speaking of which, you’ve saved quite a bit of money now, right? Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"Starting a future survey now? Uncle, don’t make me think about those annoying things at this point."

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s inquiry, a subtle discomfort appeared on Tachibana Rui’s face.

"Can’t help it, I’m a homeroom teacher now and have to do triadic talks; it’s almost becoming an occupational disease."

While enjoying the warmth of the girl in his arms, Duanmu Huai also vented his frustration. After becoming a homeroom teacher, he found it more troublesome than being a physical education teacher. The first thing is to conduct triadic talks, and then investigate students’ future aspirations and guide them in their choices.

For instance, whether you want to go to university or work after graduation... To be honest, for Duanmu Huai, such experiences are quite new. Because back in his high school days, getting into university was considered the primary task by default, unless the grades were really bad; then, teachers would advise them to go to college. If the grades were good, they basically helped you choose a university.

"I haven’t decided yet, but I should go to university."

"Oh? Why?"

"Going to university means I can live alone, right?"

"What? You still can’t get used to the current home?"

"Pretty much. To be honest, it feels strange."

Tachibana Rui nodded, Duanmu Huai could understand her thoughts. Young kids are easy to say, but at Tachibana Rui’s age, suddenly having to live under the same roof with strangers feels weird. Moreover, since they were brought in by their mother, even if the other party didn’t say anything, they would feel like a burden themselves.

That’s why Tachibana Rui hopes to move out and be independent as soon as possible. However, at her current age, moving out is obviously not feasible. So she wants to get into university and then move out.

"What university do you plan to apply to? Being honest, your grades are just okay; getting into a good university won’t be easy."

"I haven’t decided yet, but I definitely don’t want to apply to a local university. I should go to Tokyo; maybe I can reconnect with Sister Aiko."

"Aiko, huh? Wonder how she’s doing now."

Recalling the blonde spicy girl, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but sigh. Since they lost contact after she left, Duanmu Huai doesn’t know her current situation.

"I contacted Sister Aiko before. She’s now studying beauty and says she wants to open her own beauty salon someday... After all, Uncle, you gave her quite a bit of money."

"Seems like a decent career path."

[Ding Ding Ding...]

In the midst of their conversation, the phone suddenly rang. Tachibana Rui extended her fair arm from the bathtub and grabbed the phone beside her.

"Hello?"

"......"

Hearing the voice on the other end, Tachibana Rui’s expression subtly darkened.

"What’s up? Dinner? I’ll eat outside... don’t worry about me."

Watching Tachibana Rui on the phone, Duanmu Huai’s eyes lit up as he reached out a hand, sliding down the slick skin.

"Ugh...!"

The next moment, Tachibana Rui’s body instantly tensed up.

"Wait... ah... no, it’s nothing, just... wait a minute...!" ƒreewebɳovel.com

While speaking, Tachibana Rui pressed down on the phone, then turned around to glare displeased at Duanmu Huai, who chuckled without saying anything, just gesturing with his chin at the phone. Tachibana Rui glared at Duanmu Huai again before picking up the phone once more.

"It’s nothing, just encountered a stray dog... ah...!"

Saying this, the girl’s slender physique suddenly shook.

"No, nothing serious, anyway, I’ll go back shortly. No need to prepare dinner for me, that’s it!"

After finishing this sentence, Tachibana Rui quickly hung up the phone, and her previously tense body relaxed completely, collapsing back into the bathtub.

"Uncle, you’re too mean!"

"Doesn’t it make things more exciting? By the way, who just called you, your boyfriend?"

Although the voice on the other end wasn’t loud, Duanmu Huai still heard it was a young man calling Tachibana Rui, likely someone around her age.

"It’s my mom’s remarriage partner’s son, same age as me."

"Oh... does that guy like you? Is that why you want to move out?"
