Chapter 86: St. Freya's Spring Festival
When Kevin came out of the gym, his hands were trembling. He had been working out to death, as if he could build up his arm muscles in a single day.
At dinner that night, Kevin couldn't even hold his chopsticks properly and had to use a spoon to eat.
"Brother Kevin, shame on you. I don't even use a spoon to eat anymore."
Rin was, without a doubt, lectured by Sakura again.
Griseo placed a piece of meat on Kevin's plate. The meaning was self-evident.
Amidst the laughter and joy, a world where only Kevin was hurt was achieved.
"Ah!"
When Kevin woke up the next day, his hands felt like they weren't his own. They were sore and unbearable. Su examined him and found that it was a muscle strain. He would probably need to rest for two or three days.
MEI personally approved a few days of leave for her boyfriend.
Mobius found this very regrettable. She had been looking forward to seeing Kevin's hands tremble as he typed code last night.
In the living room, Yaqing and the powerless Kevin were sitting on the sofa together. Looking at the leisurely fruit-eating Yaqing, Kevin asked with confusion, "Today is Friday. Aren't you going to work?"
At this time, in the Courtyard, those who had to work were at work, and those who had to go to school were at school. Except for Elysia who was streaming at home, Eden who had no performances scheduled, Pardofelis who was "temporarily" unemployed, and the injured Kevin, plus Yaqing.
"Please, I'm the boss. I'm just playing around whether I go to the company or stay at the Courtyard. Why should I go out of my way to go to the company?" Yaqing said, popping a grape into his mouth.
"Damn capitalist," Kevin could only exclaim.
Yaqing didn't forget Kevin, tossing a grape towards his mouth.
A direct hit.
"By the way, what's the plot of the Honkai movie after this? Can you give me a spoiler?" Kevin said.
"Kevin, are you just asking if you have a role in the future?" Yaqing said with a half-smile.
Kevin just smiled awkwardly, which was as good as admitting it.
"You do."
"Really?!" Kevin was extremely excited.
"But it will probably be very far off. Your appearance should be next year," Yaqing explained. "There's no role for you in the next movie. The one after that might have one."
"Alright then. As long as there is one," Kevin said, not minding.
Eden was accompanying Elysia on her livestream.
Pardofelis was also doing who knows what.
"Yaqing, if we're off today, are we really going to watch cartoons here? It's been four episodes already," Kevin said helplessly, looking at the bald man on the TV being chased by two bears.
"Isn't it good?" Yaqing asked.
"A cartoon like this, I haven't watched one since I was in middle school," Kevin said, exasperated.
"Then you really are an adult with no childlike innocence," Yaqing retorted.
"Where am I lacking in childlike innocence? This is reality. After work, who has time to watch cartoons?" Kevin said, indicating that not everyone was like Yaqing.
"Kevin, do you know whose life in the Courtyard I envy the most?"
"Who?" Kevin asked curiously, then laughed self-deprecatingly. "It's not me, is it?"
Yaqing nodded. "That's right. The one I envy the most is you. You have a stable job, someone to spend the rest of your life with, and close friends like me and Su. You're practically the template for a male protagonist."
Kevin, the campus heartthrob in university, had gotten the beautiful and genius doctor, and had a director and a doctor as his brothers. As Yaqing said, he was practically a natural protagonist.
"Have you ever seen a protagonist who codes every day and often works overtime until midnight?" Kevin was speechless.
Yaqing said in a low voice, "Actually, Kevin, you see me going back to the Courtyard every day before three, and the company is full of beautiful girls. My background is a director of the Schicksal organization, with more dividends than I can use. But actually, I have my own troubles."
"You have a what now?" Kevin laughed and cursed.
Yaqing's feigned low spirits were broken by Kevin's words. He couldn't help but laugh. "Seriously, I really do have troubles."
"Get lost!"
As the two were chatting and joking, Yaqing's phone suddenly rang.
Yaqing got up to answer the phone.
Coming to the stairs, Yaqing looked at the caller ID on the screen and was a little puzzled. Isn't it class time now? Why is she calling me?
Yaqing answered the call.
"Hey, hey, hey, darned old uncle, are you at work today?"
"No, little Kiana. Why did you suddenly think of calling your uncle? Did Theresa not give you enough allowance?" Yaqing sat directly on the stairs.
No need to worry about it being dirty. Elysia mops the floor at least twice a day.
St. Freya Academy, dormitory area.
Kiana was eating the fragrant fried chicken that Mei had just made while talking to Yaqing on the phone.
"Darned old uncle, next weekend is the St. Freya Academy's Spring Festival. I have a few tickets here. Do you want them? Mom and darned old dad just went back to Europe, so they definitely won't be coming to the Far East," Kiana said, enjoying the deliciousness in her mouth, her beautiful eyes squinting happily.
"Spring Festival?" Yaqing couldn't remember what kind of festival this was.
"Darned old uncle, just tell me if you want the tickets or not?!"
"I'll go pick them up this afternoon."
After hanging up, Kiana reached for the plate again, only to find it empty. "Hey! It's all gone already?"
"Kiana, where did the fried chicken on the plate go?"
"Mei, let me explain!" Kiana said hastily.
...
Yaqing sat back down on the sofa, nudged Kevin, and said, "Kevin, in a couple of days is the St. Freya Academy's Spring Festival. Do you want to go have some fun?"
"St. Freya Academy, I remember that's an all-girls school, right?" Kevin said strangely.
"I just sent a message and asked Theresa. You might not know her, but she's the principal of St. Freya Academy."
Yaqing explained, "I heard the Spring Festival is a festival held only twice a year at St. Freya Academy. Each student has five tickets. I have connections and can get more tickets so everyone can go together."
"Let's ask everyone tonight first. I also need MEI's opinion," Kevin said, lifting his sore arm and shakily picking up a bag of potato chips.
"Help me open this."
Kevin handed it to Yaqing with a sense of entitlement.
Yaqing helped him open it and said, "It should be pretty lively. And it's next weekend, so we can invite everyone to go have some fun together."
"I don't mind either way," Kevin said.
"Miss Elysia seems to have heard about going out to play."
Only then did Kevin and Yaqing notice that Elysia and Eden had come downstairs at some point and were now looking at them.
"Eli, it's next weekend, not this weekend," Yaqing explained again to the two women about the upcoming festival at St. Freya Academy.
"St. Freya Academy must have a lot of pretty girls like Eden," Elysia said, holding Eden's arm.
Eden just looked at her gently.
