"If you feel lost, you are welcome to come to me anytime to talk; if you encounter a problem that you can't solve, tell me and I will help you sort it out; if you need my help, I will do my best."
In the rainy night, the two stood there, looking at each other.
After a long silence, Chizuru smiled and said, "I hope you will take good care of me from now on, Chen."
"It is my responsibility."
He responded solemnly.
……
May 29, Monday, rain.
The heavy rain continued, but people gradually got used to it.
He arrived at the classroom as usual and listened to his classmates happily greeting each other, but no one paid any attention to him.
Dongfang Chen's interpersonal relationships at school remained as poor as ever.
He silently walked to his seat.
He didn't want to waste a lot of time playing boring social games with those guys.
Dongfang Chen and these classmates are not from the same 'world'.
Not long after he sat down, Nishimiya Shoko slowly walked over and greeted him with a smile: "Oh ho ho, Chen..."
"Yes, Shoko too, good morning."
Shoko looked at the empty spot in May's room; only her schoolbag remained.
"Does Chen know what's wrong with May? She hasn't come since last week afternoon."
Shoko asked with some concern.
"My second sister encountered some trouble in May. Although the problem has been resolved, I don't know if she has recovered."
After dealing with Sadako's videotape, he left with Tohru, and he didn't know what happened afterward.
As for Nino, he has already had Tohru erase her bad memories of that day.
But the situation before that was still there, perhaps not as serious as on Friday, but it was probably enough to give Nino a hard time.
"Are you injured?" Shoko continued to ask.
"It's psychological trauma, I suppose. And coincidentally, May has arrived."
As he was speaking, he happened to see May walk into the classroom.
Shoko greeted him gently: "Good morning, May."
May nodded and smiled in response, "Good morning, Shoko."
Dongfang Chen asked, "Good morning, May. How is Nino doing?"
Facing Dongfang Chen, May forced a smile: "Thank you for your concern. Nino is basically fine now, and she came to school today. Thanks to Chen, otherwise Nino might have..."
Dongfang Chen: "Perhaps this experience will leave her with some psychological trauma, but overall, it's good that she's alright."
"Yes, thank you, Chen."
He waved his hand and said, "There's no need to keep saying thank you. If you say it too often, the meaning of 'thank you' will diminish!"
"Sorry~"
Then she remembered something: "Oh right, to thank you for saving Nino, we'd like to invite you to our house to hold a thank-you party for Chen."
"Isn't this necessary?"
He didn't really want to attend that thank-you party.
"That won't do, we have to come."
"You saved Nino's life. It would be too rude of us not to express our gratitude."
"We started preparing yesterday. Come home with us after school this afternoon. I won't let you run away!"
"By the way, could you invite that maid who accompanied you to the other day?"
May spoke in a forceful tone.
"Alright, alright, I'll go. But Thor, the maid you mentioned, forget about her, she's busy!"
Seeing her relentless determination, Dongfang Chen had no choice but to agree.
But Thor is out of the question. Putting aside whether she's interested in this so-called gratitude meeting or not, Dongfang Chen doesn't intend to cause trouble for himself.
The Nakano family has five sisters, and if Tohru is there too, things will definitely get complicated.
Even though Dongfang Chen and the five Nakano sisters don't have any special relationship yet, Thor doesn't care about that.
"Are you very busy? We had prepared a gift for Miss Thor, but if she can't make it, could you please take it to her for us?"
"Then, after school in the afternoon, Chen can just walk with me."
Although it's a bit of a shame that Thor can't participate, we still have to bring one back with us.
"Okay, it's up to you."
Before long, the school bell rang, and a new day of classes was about to begin.
Lunch break.
Dongfang Chen went to the physics preparation room to find Futaba Rio.
"Hey, Futaba, Rio, long time no see! Did you miss me?"
He shouted at the two people in the classroom.
"It's only been two days, but it sounds like two months to you."
Futaba rolled her eyes at him.
Rio complained, "You have the nerve to ask us if we miss you, but you didn't send us a single message over the weekend."
Dongfang Chen's lips twitched, and he said helplessly, "Well, I've just been quite busy these past few days."
"I helped someone get rid of the Sadako videotape on Friday night, took my dragon maid (thank you!) out for a walk on Saturday, and yesterday I investigated the recent heavy rains in Tokyo..."
Shuangye said calmly, her face expressionless, "Your weekend life is quite eventful, huh?"
Rio asked expectantly, "Could you tell me what happened? I'm quite interested in the heavy rain in Tokyo."
People tend to be curious about the unknown, especially things that are directly related to themselves, and Rio Futaba is no exception.
Rio Futaba's idea was that since Sadako's videotape had already been dealt with, there was no need to care too much about it;
I don't want to hear about Dongfang Chen and the dragon maid's outing to relax;
She was particularly interested in the unusual weather in Tokyo; the reasons behind this natural-independent precipitation were worth exploring.
"Of course, I'll tell you if you want to hear it. Let's start with the Sadako videotape from Friday..."
He began by briefly recounting the events of the past two days, omitting unnecessary details.
Chapter 134 I Won't Be Scared by That Kind of Thing
After school in the afternoon, May quickly packed her schoolbag and stood in front of Dongfang Chen, as if afraid that he would run away.
Stared at by May with a smile, Dongfang Chen said somewhat helplessly, "Since I promised to visit your home, I will definitely go."
"Yeah, I know."
If you know that, why are you still staring at me like that?
Dongfang Chen quickly packed his belongings and stood up: "Alright, let's go!"
May said, "We met up with the others at the school gate."
Shoko looked at the two of them with some envy. No matter what the reason, she had never invited a friend to her home before.
Moreover, she hadn't properly thanked Dongfang Chen for curing her ears, so shouldn't she do something about it?
Glass fell into thought.
"Shoko, see you tomorrow."
"Goodbye~"
Dongfang Chen and May said goodbye to Xiaozi.
"Well, see you tomorrow."
Shoko smiled and replied. After packing her things, she also got up and left the classroom. She was going to participate in a club activity.
School gate.
The fourth of the five Nakano sisters had already arrived here to wait.
Yotsuba looked at Nino curiously and asked, "Speaking of which, what kind of thank-you gift did Nino prepare all by herself? I'm really curious!"
413 Ichika: "Yes, yes, I'm curious too. Tell us quickly and we'll give you some advice. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to change it now."
Miku: "It can't be something like offering myself in return, right? Higashikata-kun is May."
"Then you don't need to worry about it. And Miku, don't go on and on about what you're saying."
Nino was speechless.
