Chapter 33 "Can you play with me?"
"Why don't you let me teach you?" Jiang Lai said this to Jiechuan Lijie with a smile - there must be a reason for his series of actions.
Not long ago, Yukawa Kurikawa was standing not too far behind them, while the people who were chatting were all looking in front.
Because this is inside a technical college and everyone is close to classmates, no one is alert and pays attention to the situation around them at all times.
Only Gojo Satoru, who possesses the six eyes, can have a 360-degree view of the situation behind him without having to pay special attention.
Just now, Jiang Lai sensed something was wrong. When he heard Geto Kagami speaking, Gojo Satoru pursed his lips for a moment, and a discordant and impatient expression appeared on his face - this impatient emotion certainly could not be directed at Geto Kagami.
Jiang Lai's heart skipped a beat when he noticed this detail, and he naturally adjusted his posture, as if he was attracted by what he heard. He changed his sitting position to listen sideways, while glancing behind him with his peripheral vision.
Sure enough, at the right distance, there stood a figure with light brown hair.
It is impossible for Yuukawa Kurikawa to be unaware of the Rokugan's all-around vision, so it is very likely that he intentionally stood in a position that only the Rokugan could see.
Yukawa Kuritai has been standing there, but not standing stiffly. Instead, he occasionally moves his feet and wrists in a very relaxed posture, and all this dynamic information will be fed back to the six eyes.
After talking to Geto Suguru, Gojo Satoru finally couldn't stand Yuikawa Kurikawa who was listening from behind, so he turned around and spoke in a very impolite tone.
In fact, Jiang Lai thinks that Gojo Satoru is restrained. If Yuukawa Kurikawa was not a direct descendant, but a high-ranking official in the world of sorcery, or some other unrelated person, the extremely arrogant Gojo Satoru would have destroyed him in one go ()
Jiang Lai thought about it.
Judging from these details, Yuikawa Kurikawa has always been bothering Gojo Satoru, while Geto Suguru and others have no intuitive feeling.
When he was in technical high school, Gojo Satoru would not delve too deeply into things, nor was he too lazy to explain anything on such trivial matters, so he would just blurt out disgusting words in front of everyone without explaining the reasons in detail.
In this way, from the surface, it seems that Gojo Satoru has a rebellious personality and has a very bad attitude towards the younger generation.
Jiang Lai watched the development of the situation silently. Listening to Yukawa Kuritai's speech, he could feel the uncomfortable aura - it was a low-level tea art.
Low-level tea art can easily make people feel awkward, but it can also quickly irritate people.
Kagome Geto probably wasn't really on Yuukawa's side. He trusted Gojo Satoru. Even though Gojo's attack at this moment seemed a bit sudden, he was still listening to what Satoru said, wanting to know what exactly had happened.
In the end, it seemed like concern and advice for the younger generation, but in essence, he actually wanted to make Gojo Satoru's image better and harmonize the atmosphere here.
However, the proud son of heaven, Gojo Satoru, would not follow the steps. He would either deal with the people he was annoyed with or turn a blind eye to them.
Because he was a direct descendant, the former could not be used, so Gojo Satoru got up and left.
At this last moment, Jiang Lai, who was quick-witted, reached out and grabbed Gojo Satoru!
ββThe atmosphere for the conversation between the two of them had just been established, and Geto Suguru, who was hiding something on his mind, was hesitating whether to reveal it to his best friend.
If Gojo Satoru leaves at such a critical moment, everything will be gone.
Jiang Lai's mind was as clear as a mirror. He controlled the situation and said gently, "Didn't you guys just finish talking? It's better to say it all at once. I can help answer the questions of the younger generation."
At this time, Ieiri Naoko, who had been silent just now, also spoke calmly: "It's rare for you two to sit down and have a serious chat. Go on, I'm listening too." She raised her eyes slightly, "Well... As for the training of first-year students, Senior Lai should be able to teach better than you two idiots."
"Hey, what kind of evaluation is this [two idiots]? It's only Jacky, right? I'm obviously a super invincible genius player who can do everything!"
Gojo Satoru curled his lips and made some arrogant complaints, but he followed Jiang Lai's gentle pull and sat back in his original position.
Xia Yujie's body, which had been stiff for a moment because his friend got up and left, now calmed down again.
He curled the corners of his lips in a helpless manner and said half-jokingly: "Wu... the way you talk is as annoying as ever."
"So what? No one can control me." Gojo Satoru raised his voice arrogantly, his eyebrows raised high, and snorted, "Okay, let's continue the topic just now - Jay, what did you want to say just now?"
At this point, the atmosphere between the two returned to normal.
Jiang Lai had already walked silently to Jiechuan Lijie's side, his eyes slightly curved: "Let's go? They are too noisy, let's go somewhere else to answer questions."
He guided the other party to leave. Although his tone was suggestive, he did not give the other party room to change his mind.
"..." The light brown-haired boy raised his head slightly and blinked his reddish-brown eyes. He showed the same shy big boy smile as before, "Thank you for disturbing me, Senior."
Although it is unclear what the specific purpose of this junior Yuikawa is, it is obviously related to Gojo Satoru or Geto Suguru, Jiang Lai thought.
Perhaps it was to eavesdrop on the thoughts of the two strongest people in the future, or perhaps it was to interrupt Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru's further conversation.
Anyway, just take this teacup dog (?) away from those two people.
Come to think of it, if the tea art just now was his true level, then this level doesn't seem to be very high. His behavior and language were too obvious.
Jiang Lai's mind can't help but emerge Komiyayama Yuu in the scientific world at that time, a cat-mouthed pervert who is proficient in tea art and firmly believes that brainwashing brings permanent friends.
I had been dealing with that guy for a long time at that time, and now I have become immune to this kind of operation with the properties of tea fragrance.
After recalling the conversation he had just heard, Jiang Lai asked casually, "Do you know Komiyayama Yuu?"
Yuikawa Kurikawa blinked: "? Uh, who is this?"
Jiang Lai: "An old acquaintance of mine. I think you look a bit like him."
"Is that so..." The puppy-eyed junior scratched his face with his fingertips, looking a little shy, "Do I look a bit like your acquaintance? It really is fate."
Jiang Lai: "However, there is one big difference between you two."
The light brown-haired boy smiled shyly: "What is it?"
Jiang Lai: "He is dead, but you are still alive."
Yuikawa Kurigashi: ββ¦β
For a moment, the dog's offspring was silent. Jiang Lai did not continue the conversation. He walked forward and said with a smile: "Let's go over there. Follow me."
Jiang Lai led the way and planned to teach under the shade of the trees on the other side of the playground. The playground of Jujutsu High School was very large, and the distance between the two ends was far. This distribution would prevent Yuukawa Kurikawa from continuing to interrupt the conversation of the second-year group.
On the not-so-distant road, Yuikawa Kurigasu was wandering around.
The boy with light brown hair ran to the bushes nearby to fiddle with them, then returned to his side and walked properly, but he was quite quiet the whole time - Jiang Lai finally understood why that "shy and active dog Jiechuan" was evaluated.
It seems that although this young man looks weak, he has good physical strength. He can move around in circles without getting red in the face or out of breath.
When they reached the shade of the tree on the other side of the playground, Yukawa Kuriki walked to Jiang Lai in two or three steps and stood firm. He raised his round puppy eyes, pursed his lips and smiled shyly: "Senior."
Jiang Lai said calmly: "What questions do you want to ask?"
"It's just some confusion I had during training just now. Basically..." Yukawa Kurita raised his face and began to express the problem quite clearly.
At the same time, when Jiang Lai started to answer, he showed a very serious listening attitude and even took out the small notebook and pen he carried with him to take notes.
The light brown-haired boy was very polite from beginning to end. If it weren't for the strange scene just now, Jiang Lai might have had a good impression of him.
After all the doubts were stated, Yukawa Kuritai folded the notebook and said, "Thank you, senior. I didn't expect that you would really answer my questions so seriously." His innocent reddish-brown puppy eyes were filled with a smile.
The words "unexpectedly" and "really" meant that the purpose of this sentence was no longer superficial. This way of speaking should have a second half. Jiang Lai did not show any emotion on the surface. He did not respond and waited for the man's second sentence.
"After all, you are Satoru-senpai's friend." The young man in front of him said gently, "And Satoru-senpai doesn't seem to like me very much. Maybe it's my problem..."
Jiang Lai smiled and said, "Don't hesitate, it must be your problem."
Yuikawa Kurigashi: β?β
He paused for a few tenths of a second and continued, "But I don't quite understand why Senior Wu hates me so much..."
Jiang Lai: "Then you should reflect on this carefully."
Yuikawa Kurigashi: β?β
The light brown-haired boy paused for a moment before continuing, "Maybe it's because Senior Wu thinks I'm always bothering them..."
Jiang Lai: "It seems that you at least have self-awareness."
Yuikawa Kurigashi: β?β
The light brown boy lowered his head slightly, moistened his lips with the tip of his tongue, and continued: "Actually, I don't have any bad intentions, I just want to consult you seniors about some problems..."
Jiang Lai: βMake good use of Google search.β
Yuikawa Kurigashi: β.β
Jiang Lai, who answered the phone fluently, always had a smiling mask on his face - probably similar to the standard business smile of Toru Amuro in the science world when he worked in a cafe.
Faced with bowl after bowl of low-quality green tea, Jiang Lai really didn't want to taste it. He just drank bowl after bowl, and at the same time tested this person's patience.
Yukawa Kurikawa turned his reddish-brown eyes towards Jiang Lai, and after a second, he suddenly smiled and said, "Senior, what you say is really interesting."
Jiang Lai said calmly: "Is it interesting? I'll charge you for it."
"Okay." This time, Yukawa Kuriki did not hesitate, but agreed without hesitation.
Jiang Lai's heart paused slightly, and he scanned it with his eyes.
At this moment, the light brown-haired boy had already restrained his innocent and pitiful expression, and the light that penetrated through the mottled leaves flickered around his reddish-brown eyes.
Under the light, the color of those eyes tended to be dark red: "...I'll pay, senior, can you play with me?"
Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows slightly. Is this an advanced rhetoric - or is he serious?
The air was heavy for a moment, and the floating wind blew over this area, also hushing the breath.
However, this scene only lasted for a few seconds before the brown-haired boy quickly returned to his previous timid attitude, stood at attention, bowed, and stammered, "S-sorry, senior, I am offended - I was just trying to learn to make a joke like you, but it seems, not very, not very successful."
He stared at Jiang Lai with his round eyes: "Please forgive me, senior."
Are you kidding? Jiang Lai's brown eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression did not reveal his inner analysis. He just responded with a business smile as before: "I don't care."
A voice calling came from far away. On the other side of the playground, Huihara Yu was running towards this side, waving and calling his classmate Yuikawa Kurikawa.
Because we were far away, even if we were shouting, the voice couldn't be heard clearly, but the general meaning was "It's time to gather."
The young man with light brown hair took a few steps forward, raised his hand towards his companions, and waved his arms to indicate that he understood.
Then, he turned his head, pursed his lips and whispered, "Thank you for your teaching, senior." His puppy eyes slightly curved, his hands straight behind his back, "If, if it's possible... then, I would like to ask you for advice in the future."
Jiang Lai said lightly: "Since this is not the current problem, there is no need to answer it now." He did not give a definite answer.
Yuukawa Kurikawa didn't seem to mind. He bowed again to express his gratitude, and then ran towards the colleague who called him.
Jiang Lai's eyes fell on the back of the running dog Jiechuan, and his thoughts were racing.
The change in that instant revealed that the person in front of him was not the low-level green tea as he appeared to be - in other words, was he deliberately showing awkwardness by performing such obviously low-level tea art in front of Wuxiaxiao?
However, Jiang Lai couldn't think of any special effect of such an operation other than annoying Gojo Satoru.
If you really want to sow discord, it would obviously be better to do it in a more covert way.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
Combined with the sudden question from the dog's younger generation just now, "Can you play with me?" - could it be that this person thought it was fun to annoy Gojo Satoru like that? So he did it on purpose?
How courageous! Jiang Lai thought. Isn't he afraid that the arrogant and carefree Six-eyed God Son will get angry and not care about the elders or the younger generations and just kill him with one shot?
Could it be that the dog's descendants think it's fun to be targeted and scolded... think it's fun to stir up other people's emotions? Even if it's anger or annoyance? It seems to enjoy being scolded, and it keeps coming forward again and again.
Jiang Lai silently complained in his heart: The world is so vast, there are so many things. What is this bt?
But maybe he is not just a pervert, but has other more hidden purposes. Jiang Lai's expression became serious again. He should pay more attention to this strange dog, Jiechuan Lijie.
ββ
When Jiang Lai returned to his seat, the chat between the few people had come to an end. They also stood up and prepared to gather.
He glanced at the three people passing by, subconsciously analyzing them in detail.
Ieiri Naoko's expression was calm, and nothing could be seen. Gojo Satoru still had that arrogant cat expression of "I am the boss", and it didn't look like he had heard any secrets - perhaps Geto Suguru didn't reveal too much about the deepest things in his heart.
However, even so, Geto's condition seems to have improved a little.
The depression in the boy's eyes and eyebrows dissipated a little, and when his friends around him laughed happily, he also showed a genuine smile.
The late teacher, Mr. Nightmoth, organized these people to gather together and said that the first-grade teacher had gone out on a mission, so the first and second grades would have classes together today.
Gojo Satoru casually shouted, "It's a peaceful day today, so the second graders don't have to study," and "Since the first grade teacher is not here, the second graders can have a holiday." Such illogical but obvious remarks made Mr. Yega's forehead veins throb.
"That's enough, Wu!" Mr. Ye Moth rubbed his temples and waved his hands. "You second-year students can take a break if you want. It's a good opportunity to prepare for tomorrow's mission. Xiaozi can stay in school to rest."
"Huh?" Gojo Satoru asked lazily, "What mission?"
"...Let you be the teachers for three days." Teacher Ye Moth coughed, "Practice the children of the Zenin family."
"Zenin?" Gojo Satoru raised his blue eyes behind his sunglasses, "They still hire outsiders as teachers?"
"It is precisely because everyone at home has practiced against each other that we need to practice against outsiders to know what the situation is like outside." Teacher Yega said, "This mission was assigned by the upper management. I guess the Zen temple family has found a high-level expert in sorcery."
"Why would they need to know what's going on outside? They've already closed the door and stopped caring about outside affairs. They're rarely seen at the meetings of the three families on weekdays." Gojo Satoru snorted, his tone slightly mocking, "A bunch of stupid cowards."
Jiang Lai listened quietly, and his heart paused slightly. The situation in the Zenyuan family seemed to be different from the original book.
The Zenin family in the original work was also very feudal, but not closed. Now listening to Gojo Satoru's words, the Zenin family in the new series seems to be an overly closed-off group.
"Okay, Wu, you better be careful with your words." Teacher Ye Moth crossed his arms over his chest, sighed, and continued, "The higher-ups have designated you and Jie to go to the Zen temple."
"Aren't they afraid that we'll beat them to death?" Gojo Satoru said with a grin, "Why do they need to specify? I don't want to go, I don't want to goββ"
"The seniors are on a mission to a faraway place recently, and the freshmen are too young to be used to test the children of the Zen temple. Only you and Jay are suitable." Teacher Ye Moth said, "So the upper management designated you two to carry out the mission. After all, your strength is there."
Gojo Satoru snorted and raised his head arrogantly, tacitly acknowledging the "strong" connotation of Yega's words.
Next to him, Kagome Suguru hadn't spoken a word until this moment, when he said, "Do you have any specific requirements for this mission?"
"Basically, we just need to train them. In short, no one will die." Teacher Ye Moth nodded slightly. "As for the details, the person in charge will tell you when you go to the Zen temple."
"So annoying..." Gojo Satoru dragged out the last word, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Jiang Lai behind him, "Can you bring someone to play with us?"
"...Don't treat the mission as a joke, Wu!" Teacher Ye Moth rubbed his temples again, "And it's not allowed. You know the situation of the Zen House yourself. It's difficult for outsiders to enter."
"Okay, forget it then." This time, Gojo Satoru didn't seem to be obsessed and let his arms hang down casually.
The hand behind his back was gesturing frantically to Jiang Lai who was behind him.
Jiang Lai: "..." Although, I really can't understand sign language! ! ,jpg
Although he couldn't understand it, Jiang Lai, who understood Young Master Gojo's thoughts, could roughly guess that the other party probably wanted to drag him along to play.
After returning to the dormitory, he became more certain of this guess.
Gojo Satoru, who came to the door, said happily, "Come on, Lai! Let's go play together tomorrow! I've only been there once when I was a kid, and I've never been to the Zenin family since then. I heard that there seem to be a lot of strange people there, and we can go and see a variety of human beings."
This description... High School Gojo Satoru is totally unsuitable for sales! Jiang Lai's heart flashed an emoticon, and he nodded: "I'll go with you."
He is also very interested in the current situation of the Zenin family, so he plans to go there with Gojo and others to collect some intelligence clues.
Then Jiang Lai asked: "What did Xia Yujie and you talk about on the playground at that time?"
"Hmm?" Gojo Satoru blinked and thought for a few seconds. "Ah... I think it's still the same topic as before, movies, games, etc."
Jiang Lai: "Didn't you continue to talk about the letter?"
"Isn't that letter just a piece of white paper?" Gojo Satoru tilted his head. "Jay folded it up and put it in his pocket, saying that we can't throw garbage around."
It shouldn't be that simple. It seems that Geto Suguru still hasn't said what's really on his mind. Jiang Lai was silent for a few seconds, his mind racing.
"However, Jie seemed to ask something a little strange." Gojo Satoru clenched his right fist and knocked it on the palm of his left hand, making an expression of enlightenment.
Jiang Lai blinked: "What?"
"He asked me - 'Do you think people should be divided into different classes?' It seemed to be something like this." Gojo Satoru said, trying hard to recall.
Giving people different levels...? Jiang Lai was a little confused. This sentence has different meanings when understood from different perspectives.
Jiang Lai had previously asked Gojo Satoru whether he had mastered the reversal technique to determine whether a stellar plasma event had occurred.
Gojo Satoru's reply was that the reversal technique was very mysterious and only Nozomi knew how to do it now. But he would surely be able to do it when the time came.
The white-haired boy was laughing and didn't seem to care about it very much. There was no worry or gloom in his eyes.
From this, Jiang Lai judged that it was not yet a stellar plasma event.
At this moment, Geto Suguru should still be adhering to the absolute justice of protecting all the weak. What's your thought process in asking this?
Was it some of his own thoughts, or was there something else he had communicated with?
Jiang Lai was thinking a lot. He blinked slightly and raised his warm brown eyes: "...How did you answer?"
"Me? Of course I answered according to my thoughts." Gojo Satoru leaned against the counter in a casual manner and spread his hands. "I said, 'I don't have any thoughts. Anyway, everyone is the same in my eyes, the same noobs.' I think I said that."
At this time, Gojo Satoru was still a proud son of heaven who had never experienced any setbacks or pain.
Jiang Lai: β.β Xia Yujie asked Gojo Satoru this question, but it was really a useless question...!
As expected, it was impossible for High School Student Gojo Satoru to be so quick to notice something and then come up with something rich in meaning.
"Next time, would you like to try searching online and answering according to mental health education?" Jiang Lai said half jokingly and half seriously, "Or, tell Jie that he can tell you anything he thinks, and you will listen carefully no matter what, because you are best friends."
"Huh?? βNo." Gojo Satoru rubbed his arms, "So corny."
Gojo Satoru was a tough guy in high school. Even if he cared deeply, it was unlikely that he would say such straightforward words of concern.
"Friends are much more important than face - OK, it's okay." Jiang Lai pushed Gojo Satoru, "Go back and rest early, we'll set out tomorrow morning."
Jiang Lai pushed Gojo Satoru into his dormitory, and then did not rush back to his room. Instead, he planned to go out for a walk - if he could meet Geto Suguru, he would have a brief chat with him.
As he walked out, two figures happened to come towards him.
The taller one is Geto Suguru, and the shorter one is Yuukawa Kurita. They are talking in low voices.
Jiang Lai paused for a moment.
Noticing Jiang Lai in front of him, Xia Youjie was startled, then smiled and said, "Lai."
The light brown-haired boy blinked and said with a slightly shy expression, "Hello, Senior."
