“Seeing a blind man lead the way for another blind person.”
Gao Yu said casually.
In fact, he had simply chatted with Kaneki Ken for a little longer.
“Boring.” Kirishima Touka was speechless.
After so many days, she already knew that this guy liked watching the excitement and always liked saying some abstract things.
Gao Yu absentmindedly scrolled through videos, while Irimi Kaya hesitated to speak.
It had already been more than a week since she last reminded Gao Yu about Touka’s academic ability.
During this period, Gao Yu had taken no action at all, leaving Kaya completely at a loss.
Moreover, the relationship between Gao Yu and Touka had not progressed much.
They had not even occasionally gone out on dates or gone shopping together.
Their few interactions had all taken place inside the shop.
Gao Yu was casual about it.
His life before transmigrating had already been exhausting, so why did he have to force the relationship forward?
It might even have the opposite effect.
He enjoyed getting along like this, peacefully and naturally.
He preferred letting things develop naturally rather than desperately scheming.
“Touka-chan, did you know Gao Yu is a student at Kamii University?”
After thinking about it, Kaya decided to give them a push.
The atmosphere between these two was very warm on a daily basis, and setting aside the fact that one of them was a ghoul, she actually quite liked shipping them.
“I know. So what?”
Gao Yu had never hidden it.
They had even chatted about their respective studies on LINE, and Touka really did not have any particular thoughts about it.
“How is his deviation score?” Kaya quietly asked.
Touka thought for a moment before saying, “His deviation score is very high. According to him, he is invincible in science.”
Touka curled her lips.
Invincible, my foot.
He was just a chuunibyou college student.
“Then, Touka-chan, don’t you have any thoughts?”
Kaya sighed and asked unwillingly.
“What thoughts do I have?” Touka was completely confused.
Wasn’t it simply that her senpai had extremely good academic performance?
A flash of inspiration struck her, and Touka suddenly understood.
“Irimi-san, you want Gao-kun to tutor me in science?”
It wasn’t that Touka was slow.
She was simply a strong person by nature and had never thought about asking others for help.
Besides, Gao Yu had never brought this up.
At most, he would tell her to do her best, and there was no indication that he wanted to tutor her.
Kaya forced a smile.
What were these two doing?
The atmosphere was obviously so beautiful, yet neither of them showed any intention of taking things further.
Were young people like this nowadays?
For the first time, Kaya felt disappointed with the Japanese government.
Everyone kept complaining about the declining birthrate, but look at young people nowadays.
Could this declining birthrate really be solved?
Gao Yu almost laughed out loud. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Kaya was quite interesting.
An SSS-level ghoul was even shipping a couple.
Perhaps his impression of the original story was simply too deep, but Kaya was also a living person—or rather, a ghoul.
She had her own personality and her own life.
She wasn’t indifferent all day long like she was in the original story.
“I personally attend Kamii University. My entrance score barely met the standard, my science scores are perfect, and we’ll leave the humanities aside for now.”
Gao Yu raised his hand and said with a smile.
The system was really reliable.
It even arranged his identity according to the circumstances.
He was indisputably excellent in science, but as for Japanese humanities…
Forget it.
Kaya’s eyes lit up as she grabbed Touka’s arm.
“Look, Gao-kun’s science grades are excellent. Haven’t you always had shortcomings in science, Touka-chan?”
Touka looked at her, then at Gao Yu, who was smiling brightly, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Irimi-san, your intentions are way too obvious.
“…Want to give it a try?”
Touka pointed toward the backpack in the corner.
Inside were her science exercises.
“Gladly.”
Gao Yu got into position and moved the chair beside him closer.
After all, there weren’t many customers.
Kaya was making coffee behind the counter, Koma Enji was serving as the waiter, and Yoshimura Kuzen stood calmly in place.
Yomo Renji was still nowhere to be seen.
Touka changed into casual home clothes and sat beside Gao Yu, taking the exercises out of her backpack.
“Did you bring your test papers?”
Gao Yu glanced over the exercises.
It was difficult to tell anything from individual exercises.
Test papers would make it easier to identify her weak points.
“I did.”
Touka hesitated for a moment.
Test papers were quite private, and normally people wouldn’t show them to others.
However, if it was Gao Yu, it should be fine.
She usually carried her science test papers with her, specifically so she could find the areas she didn’t understand and work on improving them.
The idea was good, but unfortunately, she hadn’t found a way to approach them.
If she didn’t know, then she simply didn’t know.
Especially mathematics.
Without a way to approach the problem, it was truly a nightmare.
When a person was pushed to their limit, they could accomplish almost anything.
Mathematics was the one thing that truly wouldn’t work.
Several science test papers were spread across the table.
Gao Yu looked through them one by one, deep in thought.
The sound of the test papers being flipped made Touka nervous, and her attention was drawn to the seriousness on Gao Yu’s face.
This guy was usually so carefree, yet now he was as serious as her teacher.
Expressionless, the corners of his mouth slightly lowered, and whenever he saw a mistake, the corner of his eye would twitch slightly.
Touka’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Damn it, he had the exact presence of a strict teacher. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
Kaya, who was secretly watching, felt her heart leap into her throat.
No way.
Was Gao Yu the type who was carefree normally but terrifyingly serious whenever he got serious?
Had she unintentionally done something bad despite her good intentions?
“Are these three putting on an act? They’re just tutoring someone, so why does it look like a trial?”
Enji couldn’t help complaining.
The behavior of the three was simply unbearable to watch.
“They’re young people. Having some spirit is a good thing.”
Kuzen carefully wiped the tray.
It had been a long time since the shop had experienced such a warm atmosphere.
“Manager, do you think Touka-chan and him can really…”
Enji hesitated.
Kuzen fell silent for a moment before smiling and shaking his head.
“It’s fine. Let them be. That is, after all, a relationship between young people. I’ll help if I can.”
He had once wondered whether his relationship with Ukina had been the right choice, and he also felt guilty toward the daughter he had never even met.
But he had already failed.
What right did he have to deny Touka?
“A conflict will break out sooner or later.”
Enji spoke in a low voice.
Kuzen looked at Gao Yu’s eyes and brows, then suddenly smiled.
“Perhaps it won’t.”
“Ha.”
Enji shrugged and carried the tray over to serve coffee to the customers.
Gao Yu quickly finished looking through the test papers.
He organized the distribution of the questions in his mind, weighing the various knowledge points.
China’s education system had made Gao Yu’s ability with test papers particularly obvious.
In fact, every high school student facing entrance-exam pressure possessed the ability to quickly organize the contents of a test paper.
Once the test paper was handed out, don’t ask whether you knew how to solve it.
First, scan the entire test paper and see whether there were any printing errors.
Then look at the final major questions.
Whether you could solve them or not, first get a general impression and recall the relevant knowledge points several times.
Afterward, start from the multiple-choice questions and work your way down, recalling all kinds of knowledge points.
An essential ability for Chinese high school students: after receiving a test paper, independently look for errors and review the relevant knowledge points.
As for the serious expression, which high school student smiles and jokes around while doing a test paper?
It was simply instinct.
After about fifteen minutes, Gao Yu finished reading all the test papers and had a clear idea of the situation.
Gao Yu smiled.
“Touka, you’re actually quite impressive. You’ve basically memorized the knowledge points. You just tend to confuse them.”
There were many similar concepts in science subjects, and people often confused knowledge points because they failed to read the questions carefully.
Most people couldn’t avoid this.
Hearing this, Touka instinctively straightened her posture.
“Oh, oh. What should I do?”
…
Ukina is sometimes alternatively translated or named as Yuna in early Chinese translations.
