Chapter 1007 - 1006: What the Hell Is He Babbling About?
Chapter 1007 - 1006: What the Hell Is He Babbling About?
For Chu Ge, Qin Ruojing, and Qin Ruoying, everything in front of them seemed so wonderful, if only... there weren't those few pairs of sneaky, overly covetous eyes not far behind them, it would be even more perfect.Inside a van were several men in their thirties and forties, who kept sizing up Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying's shapely figures while engaging in quiet conversations with each other.
These people did not affect the good mood of Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying, as their attention was on the sign that carried many beautiful childhood memories for them, gazing from afar at this high school and wanting to see what Japanese high school students looked like.
Moreover, although the van was not far from Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying, it was certainly not close either, and the voices of those men inside were not loud enough to reach their ears. Besides... they didn't understand Japanese, so even if they could hear, they wouldn't know what the men were talking about.
However, Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying couldn't hear, but that didn't mean Chu Ge couldn't. While these guys spoke with a bit of an accent and were quite a distance away, Chu Ge still faintly heard them discussing Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying's looks and figures, and the content and tone of their conversation were far from friendly and gentlemanly.
This made Chu Ge a bit upset.
Still, despite being upset, Chu Ge wouldn't go over for such a trivial matter to bother those men. No matter where you are in the world, when men see beautiful women, it's all too normal for them to comment a bit. He used to whistle at beautiful women on the street when he was a kid.
It was lucky enough for Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying that they had just stopped for a few minutes when the school dismissed bell rang from the school building, and some students in uniforms gradually appeared on the playground.
One must say, Japanese school uniforms look great, just like in anime, unified skirts for girls, and in this season when Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying have already put on thermal pants, these students are all showing their thighs. It looks nice but makes the sisters feel a bit cold.
After taking a few glances from afar, the three of them left the high school. Qin Ruoying expressed wanting to go fishing, not because she had much interest in fishing, but simply wanted to experience the feeling of going fishing leisurely with a fishing rod after school like her classmate from the anime.
Just like taking the "Enoshima Electric Railway" train and looking at the "Kanagawa Prefectural High School" sign, it's all about fulfilling a small childhood dream.
The three found a place to rent fishing gear and fished for a while. Although they didn't catch much, the process was still enjoyable.
Unknowingly, the morning passed, and the three found a restaurant, ordered some exquisite Japanese cuisine, drank a bit of sake, and randomly wandered around after the meal.
While wandering, Chu Ge inadvertently overheard a conversation between a young couple saying that there was a small anime exhibition nearby this afternoon, seemingly an activity by a club at Kamakura High School, and consulted Qin Ruoying's opinion, asking if she was interested in checking it out.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ruoying became overjoyed. As an anime enthusiast, she certainly didn't want to miss the opportunity. She was actually quite a professional COSER among hobbyists and often attended such events when she was in Beijing.
Chu Ge walked a few steps quickly and politely inquired about it with the couple, who were very enthusiastic and courteous, telling him that the anime exhibition was at four in the afternoon, with the location very close, just two streets away from here.
Chu Ge thanked the couple and returned to the Qin sisters, explaining what he had just found out.
Qin Ruoying checked the time, it was already three o'clock, and suggested they sit for a while on a nearby bench. After all, they had been wandering for quite a while and were somewhat tired, so they rested a bit here before heading straight to the anime exhibition to take a look.
Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing had no opinions, so the three sat down on the bench.
"Brother-in-law, I find that the Japanese people are not quite what I imagined," Qin Ruoying leaned against the back of the bench, stretched lazily, and turned to Chu Ge with a smile.
"How come?"
"Well…"
Qin Ruoying pondered, then said, "I suppose they're more polite, amicable, and easy to get along with than I imagined? I remember hearing that Japan has the highest suicide rate in the world, so I thought maybe anime beautified their image, that the real-life Japanese people must be overwhelmed by life, cold, rigid, gloomy, even lifeless."
Chu Ge chuckled and shook his head.
"How many Japanese people have you met to have such a sentiment? The situation you've described isn't nonexistent, but I can only say you might be thinking too narrowly. After all, no matter home or abroad, people's personalities vary, just like how everyone thinks people from the Northeast are rough, but does that mean there are no gentle and refined people from the Northeast? Isn't that a joke?"
Qin Ruojing scratched her head, "That's true."
Chu Ge added: "Also, Japan isn't the country with the highest suicide rate in the world; that's Lithuania. In fact, even our own country has a much higher suicide rate than Japan. Speaking of living pressure, haha..."
Mentioning such matters made Chu Ge somewhat disinterested, so he smiled and stopped talking about it.
The three sat on the bench for a while and then saw many students in uniforms walking out from Kamakura High School, and some even wearing anime costumes. They finish school a bit after three in the afternoon, and various clubs arrange activities after school hours.
"Sis, brother-in-law, shouldn't the anime exhibition be starting now? Shall we go?"
"Okay."
The three of them stood up from the bench and leisurely headed in the direction that the couple had pointed out to them earlier.
After walking a few steps, they saw a man in his twenties not far away, speaking with two girls dressed in anime costumes.
Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying didn't think much of it at first, but Chu Ge slightly raised the corners of his mouth and slowed his pace.
Noticing Chu Ge's attention on those people, Qin Ruojing couldn't help but ask, "Did you run into someone you know?"
Chu Ge shook his head, "Don't know them."
Qin Ruojing wondered, "If you don't know them, why are you staring at them? If you want to see the anime convention, we can wait until we get there to look!"
Chu Ge kept smiling, whispering, "There's plenty of time to watch the convention, but let's check out this amusing scene first. These three are hilarious."
Hearing Chu Ge say this made Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying even more puzzled. These three were speaking Japanese, a language they couldn't understand, so they had no idea what was making Chu Ge laugh.
"Bro-in-law, what's up with these three? What are they saying that's so funny to you?"
"Don't rush, just watch and you'll see." Chu Ge shook his head, teasing them with a bit of suspense.
Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying, both curious yet helpless, continued to cast doubtful glances at the three people, unable to understand why watching alone could make sense when they couldn't understand Japanese.
Just as Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying were racking their brains, one of the girls, wearing a serene smile, unexpectedly spoke to the other girl beside her in Chinese.
"What on earth is this guy babbling about? Did you understand?"
"I don't understand. I guess it must be some regional Japanese dialect? I have no clue what he's trying to do. The anime convention is about to start, and this guy is really killing the vibe."
Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying were taken aback. From the way these two girls spoke, it seemed like they were from Hua Country? Judging by their accent… might they be from the Northeast?
They both glanced at Chu Ge. It seemed he had long since realized these two girls weren't Japanese. What a coincidence, they had just been chatting about people from the Northeast, and here they met two abroad.
Chu Ge's smile widened, while Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying did not immediately speak, keeping their focus on the three not far away.
They knew Chu Ge too well. Seeing his expression like that probably meant that whatever amused him was far from over.
And sure enough, just after the two girls, with their gentle smiles, spoke Chinese, the young man who had been speaking Japanese first froze, then his eyes twitched, revealing an expression of embarrassment mixed with humor. He raised his hand to pinch his brow and then said a word in Chinese.
"Damn…"
Su Haidong murmured, feeling utterly frustrated. After spending so much effort speaking Japanese that he thought might be barely acceptable, it turned out these two girls were actually from Hua Country and mistook him for a Japanese person with a strong rural accent…
Geez, what a situation! He felt so utterly embarrassed.
Although his "Damn" was softly spoken, not only did the two girls across from him hear it, but even Chu Ge and the other two, some distance away, could completely tell what he said from his expression and mouth movements.
After all, to anyone from Hua Country, those two words are so commonly used they're hard not to recognize.
After his "Damn," Su Haidong felt awkward, and the two Hua Country girls across from him felt even more embarrassed. Even though they had put on makeup for the upcoming convention, their faces were visibly flushed red.
"Uh… Dude, you're not Japanese? Wow, what a mess. If you had spoken Chinese right away, it would've been better, even trying English with me would've worked. I thought you were Japanese."
Seeing Su Haidong's conflicted face, one of the girls spoke with the same level of conflict.
At this moment, Qin Ruoying, who was nearby, couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter.
