Chapter 1468: 989 transactions_2

"Mr. Jiang, you’re welcome to visit the Imperial Palace anytime."

After her brother, Prince Wataru Tetsuya, left, Princess Mei Yi visibly relaxed, like a puppet relieved from its strings.

"Teacher Xiang Tian, let’s continue."

She nonchalantly smiled at Koda Kaoru, pretending nothing happened.

Jiang Chen didn’t interrupt the subsequent class, sitting quietly on the side with Tanki Liuli, eating seeds.

"Are they siblings?"

The class didn’t last long, just two hours, and Jiang Chen waited for Koda Kaoru to finish so they could leave together.

After all, if it was just him and Tanki Liuli, without some roof-walking skills, they probably couldn’t exit the Imperial Palace.

"Yes."

"Biological or...?"

"According to Shenzhou’s terminology, Princess and Prince Wataru Tetsuya are cousins."

"No wonder I thought she seemed less intimate when she’s with her brother."

Jiang Chen murmured.

Koda Kaoru turned her head.

"Just a casual talk, nothing else."

Jiang Chen immediately explained, as per the earlier agreement they had.

"Not just within the Imperial Palace, but outside too, I hope you won’t comment on the Imperial Family’s matters."

"Understood."

Being Dongying people, it’s completely understandable to protect one’s own royal family.

But not talking about royal family secrets, discussing other things should be fine, right?

"Teacher Xiang Tian, are you familiar with that Prince?"

They passed through the first checkpoint, and Jiang Chen asked casually.

"Just occasionally run into him when I come for class."

"I feel like he treats you quite well."

Koda Kaoru didn’t smile or show displeasure, she replied, "What gave you that impression?"

"Being so warm to an ordinary person like me that he just met, it can only be because of you."

Someone is indeed good at reading between the lines.

Koda Kaoru didn’t confirm or deny it.

"Teacher Xiang Tian’s charm is consistent as always."

Jiang Chen said softly.

Koda Kaoru’s gaze brushed over, but his words were flawless, leaving no angle for her to start on.

"Don’t talk nonsense."

Koda Kaoru’s moist red lips slightly trembled, her jaw muscles were apparent.

"Men understand men the most."

Jiang Chen continued mystically, unclear about what he was saying.

"I was originally going to invite you for a meal, maybe another time."

Koda Kaoru said.

"Don’t, it’s just mealtime, and I’m hungry."

"The snacks on the table are all gone, and you’re still hungry?"

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle, glancing at the Taoist nun sister on his left, who seemed pleased with the visit.

The snacks on the table were devoured, not because of him.

"Or let me treat you, anyway, it’s after work, and you have nothing else to do."

"How do you know I have nothing to do?"

"Does Teacher Xiang Tian have a date?"

Koda Kaoru suddenly stopped, turned her head, and revealed a charming smile.

"Yes."

Yes.

Even though facing his "teacher," hearing the nasal sound made Jiang Chen’s heart skip a little faster.

After all, she’s a woman who even the royal family prince regards differently.

It’s human nature.

"Since when?"

Jiang Chen asked in a rather normal way.

"Do I need to report to you?"

Koda Kaoru replied with a smile.

Although he held no improper thoughts, Jiang Chen inevitably felt a tinge of regret, on behalf of all the men in the world.

Ignoring the sly jab, he said, "If convenient, Teacher Xiang Tian can bring your boyfriend along, and I’ll treat you."

"Isn’t it better to enjoy a world for two?"

Jiang Chen finally had nothing to say.

The three of them left the Inner Court.

"Though Teacher Xiang Tian isn’t willing to give a chance, I still have to thank you for taking us around the palace today."

This is how a student shows respect to their teacher.

"Whether you see me as your teacher or not, I always consider you my student, so there’s no need to be polite, it’s my duty."

"..."

Jiang Chen smiled wryly.

He indeed felt a bit ashamed.

"Since Teacher Xiang Tian has plans today, I won’t bother you. If you have free time someday, feel free to contact me as long as I’m still in Tokyo."

Koda Kaoru didn’t mind and left the comment unanswered.

They initially planned to leave the palace through the tourist exit, but they found that the protesters outside the palace hadn’t left yet, and the crowd was still growing.

Some even brought rugs to sit on the ground, as if prepared for a long battle.

So, the three had to exit through a side gate.

"Off I go."

Koda Kaoru seemed genuinely pressed for time.

Jiang Chen didn’t want to ruin her date, so he nodded slightly.

Koda Kaoru politely smiled at Tanki Liuli and then left alone.

Her willingness to take the risk of bringing someone into the palace suggests Jiang Chen holds some weight in her mind as a student, but her other behaviors seemed to continue being what could only be described as fulfilling basic teacher duties.

It’s what you’d call neither warm nor cold.

This is a textbook example of the perfect portrayal.

It wasn’t like this back at Dong University.

They even went swimming together...

Past events flew by like pages in a photo album, flipping in his mind.

But when he thought about it, it’s understandable.

They’ve been apart for so long, it’s inevitable for some distance to grow.

Besides, she now has a boyfriend.

Outside the Imperial Palace.

Amidst the rising and falling protests, Jiang Chen slowly exhaled, not because someone else had taken the flower he admired.

He still hadn’t discovered the answer he was looking for today.

Or perhaps.

The answer was tilting more and more to one side.

"Hungry?"

He suddenly turned his head, asking Tanki Liuli.

After a moment of contemplation, possibly sensing her body’s feelings, Tanki Liuli shook her head.

Indeed.

She hardly stopped eating earlier.

"If you’re not hungry, could you help me with something?"

Jiang Chen smiled, and facing Tanki Liuli’s eyes, pointed in the direction Koda Kaoru had left, "Follow her."

This undoubtedly exceeded the scope of her duties.

Her job was only to ensure his safety, so the Taoist nun sister didn’t move.

"Just follow her and see what she does."

Jiang Chen checked his phone and looked at the time, "It’s almost five now, you can come back once it gets dark."

Tanki Liuli still didn’t move, showcasing her strong principles.

Boss Jiang felt a bit awkward, as it was somewhat embarrassing.

Although he never considered himself her employer or her as an employee, even among friends, such a small request should be negotiable.

Of course.

Jiang Chen knew emotional appeals wouldn’t work on the young Taoist nun.

"I’ll treat you to a feast when you return."

Coercion was out, so he could only offer incentives.

Food was the only thing he could think of that might entice this divine being.

But unexpectedly, Tanki Liuli remained unmoved, as if she hadn’t heard.

Since they’d lost sight of her, even attempting to follow was now impossible.

"You can choose whatever you want to eat."

Jiang Chen increased his offer.

Yet still no reaction.

Staring at the young Taoist nun as steady as a stone pillar, Jiang Chen was at a loss.

Indeed.

Asking someone who just received their food supply to go shopping again, the cart would hardly fill with anything.

It’s similar to when the physical labor task just ends, and even with a celestial maiden beside, the mind remains at peace.

Without the means to coerce or entice, Jiang Chen couldn’t think of any other tactic and planned to give up.

"If you’re really not hungry, let’s skip eating for now and wait until you are."

Truly someone who doesn’t hold grudges, Boss Jiang was genuinely broad-minded, not minding at all, ready to return to the hotel.

"I can help you."

Tanki Liuli spoke.

His steps halted, and Jiang Chen looked back, though remained silent, knowing there was more to come.

"It requires compensation."

As expected.

However, Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned by Tanki Liuli’s words, then sighed at this worldly society.

See.

It had even tainted the young Taoist nun.

"No problem, whatever the condition is, you say it."

Boss Jiang confidently responded.

Sometimes being worldly is not just a flaw, and at this moment he was glad to see it.

"I want a phone."

Tanki Liuli spoke.

Jiang Chen was caught off guard.

"A phone?"

Then.

He couldn’t help but look at the smart device on her wrist, "Don’t you already have one?"

"I want a phone that can take pictures."

"..."

Jiang Chen was stunned, looking at the serene young Taoist nun, his face suddenly flushed, suppressing a trembling corner of his mouth, calmly saying, "Deal."
