Chapter 127: You Want To Cling To A Jian, Don’t You!
The three of them stood at the doorway. At first, the two girls stared at each other, but soon they both turned their gazes toward Sakamoto Ken.
Seeing such looks, Sakamoto Ken felt as if yesterday was replaying, and the muscles at the corner of his eye couldn’t help but twitch.
“What are you standing around for? Let’s go.” Sakamoto Ken reminded.
Natsume Mio stomped her feet. Her shoes weren’t fully on yet, so she squatted down to adjust the shoe top, then stood up and tugged at the white stockings on her legs, pulling them straight.
Mikazuki Haruna glanced sideways at Natsume Mio, scanning the girl’s legs, her gaze lingering on this girl’s chest.
Heh… big chest definitely means no brain.
She grabbed Sakamoto Ken’s left arm and walked toward one side of the path: “A Jian, let’s go.”
Seeing this, Natsume Mio immediately followed, wrapping her arms around Sakamoto Ken’s right arm.
Thus, Sakamoto Ken was flanked left and right by the two girls as they headed toward the parking lot.
The parking lot was not far to the left of the studio, right next to the convenience store.
Mikazuki Haruna took out the car key and walked toward that eye-catching red Panamera.
Seeing this car, Natsume Mio deliberately paid attention to the position of the front bumper.
“Tsk tsk.” Natsume Mio said, “You fixed the dented spot so quickly?”
Mikazuki Haruna said: “Driving, who doesn’t have a few bumps and scrapes?”
“Your driving skill just sucks.” Natsume Mio mercilessly pointed out.
“Tch.” Mikazuki Haruna huffed lightly in dissatisfaction, “As if you’re good at driving. Want to take over?”
“I’m critiquing your driving skill, I don’t need to know how to drive myself.” Natsume Mio said confidently.
Mikazuki Haruna was at a loss for words and turned to Sakamoto Ken: “A Jian, do you know how to drive?”
Sakamoto Ken smiled bitterly in his heart.
Far more than just knowing how.
In the previous round, he had driven this Panamera more than Haruna herself.
After all, this girl’s driving skill… was really indescribable.
But his driving skill, all aspects of it, had been tested by the three girls.
It’s just that at this 2015 time point, he hadn’t gotten his driver’s license yet.
Although taking the vehicle away wouldn’t be a problem, running into a police spot check would be trouble.
He calmly shook his head: “No.”
“See!” Mikazuki Haruna immediately became smug, lifting her chin at Natsume Mio, “Among us, only I know how to drive!”
She walked to the front passenger seat, opened the car door, and smiled slightly at Sakamoto Ken: “A Jian, sit in the front~”
However, before Sakamoto Ken could respond, Natsume Mio had already pulled his arm first, dragging him toward the back seat: “We’ll sit in the back.”
“Hey hey!” Mikazuki Haruna was instantly dissatisfied, “If you both sit in the back, won’t I look like just the driver?”
“You are the driver.” Natsume Mio said without looking back.
“You???” Mikazuki Haruna felt a vein throbbing at her temple.
Seeing the two about to argue over seats again, Sakamoto Ken felt his temples starting to ache faintly.
He gently patted the back of Natsume Mio’s hand, signaling her to let go, and said to her: “Mio, you sit in the front.”
Then, he opened the back seat car door himself and bent down to sit inside.
Natsume Mio was a bit reluctant, but since it was A Jian who spoke, she pouted and sat in the front passenger seat.
“Hmph.”
Mikazuki Haruna looked at the final result. Though not the most perfect plan, it was acceptable, so she sat in the driver’s seat.
The car door closed, blocking out the outside noise.
Sakamoto Ken leaned on the soft leather seat in the back, his gaze sweeping over the familiar layout of the car interior.
This was the first time he had sat in Haruna’s car in this round.
Everything was just as in his memory.
The wine-red interior was particularly flashy, and the air was filled with a faint citrus fragrance.
In the previous round, he had indeed driven this car much more than Haruna.
They had taken this vehicle to many places: remote mountaintop viewpoints, deserted rural seaside…
In those undisturbed corners, the car interior became their space to let loose.
But…
Sakamoto Ken’s gaze fell to his side, on the raised center console in the middle of the back seat.
This executive car’s design was indeed an obstacle.
Whether she was on top of it or straddling it, no position seemed fully satisfying.
In the end, they chose to recline the front passenger seat, which was more suitable.
The position Mio was sitting in now.
But the space in the car was limited after all, always feeling a bit restricted.
Sakamoto Ken still remembered one time when Haruna got too into it, with too big a movement, accidentally spraining her ankle in the car.
At the time, seeing her grimace in pain, he said forget it, next time.
But this girl gritted her teeth, sucking in cool air and shouting in pain while stubbornly saying it was fine, insisting on continuing…
In the end, when she was crying out, it was unclear if it was really from the ankle pain.
Those memory fragments flooded his mind, making Sakamoto Ken’s mood a bit complex.
The vehicle launched and drove out of the parking lot.
From the studio to Kanzaki Art Academy, it was just a ten-minute drive.
Along the way, the car interior remained silent.
Natsume Mio sat in the front passenger seat, occasionally observing Sakamoto Ken in the back through the rearview mirror.
Mikazuki Haruna drove while keeping an eye on the movements beside and behind her.
No one took the initiative to start a conversation.
Soon, the school gate of Kanzaki Art Academy came into view.
Today was freshman registration day, with many people coming and going at the school entrance, mostly new students.
Formal courses would wait a few more days, starting after the entrance ceremony.
Mikazuki Haruna didn’t stop at the school gate but drove straight in.
The license plate reader captured her license plate number, and the railing lifted automatically; she was registered for on-campus parking.
Driving along the ring road, the pedestrian area on the other side was clearly more lively.
Various stalls lined up, hung with all sorts of colorful banners and posters.
“Is that the club recruitment site?”
Natsume Mio curiously looked out the window. Although she seemed to have experienced university once in that dream, everything except what was related to A Jian was blurry, so she still felt it was fresh.
“Want to check it out?” Mikazuki Haruna pulled over to the roadside and asked, turning her head, “If you want, just get out here.”
Natsume Mio looked back at Sakamoto Ken in the back seat.
Sakamoto Ken shook his head: “I don’t plan to join any clubs; no time for that.”
“Oh oh,” Natsume Mio immediately turned back and said to Mikazuki Haruna, “I won’t go either. Clubs and such are boring.”
“Tch.” Mikazuki Haruna pouted, a bit disappointed.
You just want to stick to A Jian, huh!
