Dubian Che returned from school and ran into three female teachers who had just come back from grocery shopping at the entrance of the apartment.
It was seven o'clock, the Tobu Line train passed by Shinano Town station, and the sky had completely darkened, with a cool evening breeze blowing.
"You're back early today," Akiko said sarcastically, "Didn't go shopping with them?"
"Akiko, yesterday Dubian..."
Dubian Che interrupted Xiaoquan Aonai, reached out to take the bags from their hands, and said,
"Teacher Akiko, I know I was wrong, please give me a chance to make amends."
"Don't apologize to me, the one you should be apologizing to is Aonai, understand? Spend more time with her from now on."
"I promise."
Akiko nodded with reluctant satisfaction.
Xiaoquan Aonai wanted to say something, but Dubian Che stopped her with a look.
He didn't smile, but his eyes seemed to be brimming with laughter.
