Chapter 111 Under the Blindfold
Chapter 111 Under the Blindfold
"Is this the University of Tokyo, which ranks first in Japan? It's so big."
Izumi Takatsuki’s first impression when he visited Dongda University was this. The gate of the school is shining with gold, the teaching buildings are also very beautifully painted, the roads are spacious, and the degree of greening is extremely high. It doesn’t look like an ancient school that has been established for hundreds of years.
Ken Kaneki was a little restrained at first, after all, Izumi Takatsuki is his favorite author, and her reputation in this life is even louder than in the previous life, and she has fans everywhere in prestigious schools like Dongda University.Seeing that she didn't have any airs, Jin Muyan spoke a lot more easily: "I heard from my classmates that it wasn't that big in the beginning, because some seniors sponsored the school."
Izumi Takatsuki became a little interested, and said jokingly, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Dongdali, I dared to hold a signing event here. The news was not announced to the public, and my editor said that someone offered to sponsor me."
Kaneki Ken sincerely praised: "Everyone likes you very much."
"Don't use honorifics, I'm only 24 years old this year." Izumi Takatsuki walked like an ordinary student, and he didn't have any bad manners of a social person.Hearing what he said, Kaneki Ken reflexively asked curiously, "Which school did Mr. Takatsuki graduate from?"
Takatsuki Izumi's smile paused, and he raised his index finger, "I won't tell you the secret."
Kaneki Ken was slightly disappointed.
A woman with high literary literacy like Teacher Takatsuki must have been educated by a famous teacher, or returned from abroad.
Facing idols, people always like to beautify each other.
Seeing his admiration, Takatsuki Izumi stuck out his tongue in his heart.She really wanted to be admitted to Dongda University, but considering that the God of Death lived near Dongda University, and she might meet him at any time, she regretfully gave up this opportunity and chose other universities.
"Hey, your name is Kaneki-kun, right?" Takatsuki Izumi took the initiative to draw closer.
"I'm sorry! I haven't introduced myself yet." Kaneki Ken realized later, bowed and apologized, "I'm Kaneki Ken, a first-year student at Dongdae University. I'm currently working in the Propaganda Department of the Student Union, and I'm in charge of promoting your signing event."
Takatsuki Izumi also replied seriously: "Thank you for your hard work."
Then, pointing at herself, she said in a lark-like voice, "I am Izumi Takatsuki. Nice to meet you, Ken Kaneki."
Ken Kaneki smiled and said, "I am also very glad to meet you, Takatsuki-sensei, I have attended your book signing in Tokyo before."
Takatsuki Izumi thought rather confusedly: "Is it in May or in June?"
Kaneki Ken said: "June."
Izumi Takatsuki clapped his hands, "Oh, I remember! That autograph event that was messed up."
Kaneki Ken: "Uh..."
"That time, a crazy woman ran out out of nowhere and injured many people. I remember it was on the news." Izumi Takatsuki whispered to him, "The signing was halfway through, and then it was forced to stop, and the publishing house was shut down. A warning against nonsense was issued."
Kaneki Ken silently squeezed a handful of bitter tears for Miss Lishi.
Being considered a "crazy woman" by the author I like, it's better not to tell her the news.
"Kaneki-kun, is there a cafeteria over there? Wow, it looks so classy!" Izumi Takatsuki said excitedly, pointing to a place for lunch. The cafeteria over there is even more luxurious than ordinary hotels, and it can be said that it is the favorite place of the university students. one of the places.
Kaneki Ken was led astray by her, and the two went to the cafeteria together.
The cafeteria was open until the evening, and it was just eleven o'clock at this time, and some students who hadn't had breakfast in the morning came to eat.Since the cafeteria needs a meal card, Ken Kaneki uses his meal card to help Izumi Takatsuki buy his favorite snacks.
"Eat...so much?"
Kaneki Ken paid the bill and saw a plate full of snacks in the other party's hand.
Izumi Takatsuki said with a face full of novelty: "The shapes of these dim sum are so cute, I have never eaten them outside!"
Ken Kaneki was amused by her love for snacks, and felt that Takatsuki-sensei was different from ordinary literary women. She was informal and cheerful in her life, and she was not as gloomy and indifferent as those people on the Internet guessed.
"I didn't know Takatsuki-sensei had such a personality..." he said after sitting down with Izumi Takatsuki.
"What kind of character do you think I am?" Izumi Takatsuki stuffed a snack into his mouth, bit off the head of a cat-shaped cake, and squinted his eyes contentedly.This innocent expression made Kaneki Ken unable to express negative adjectives.
"It's nothing." He changed the subject and looked around.
Suddenly, he saw Yue Shanxi sitting beside him with a cup of coffee, his purple eyes were melancholy, implying resentment towards him.
The other party seemed to be saying: "You actually went out for a stroll with a little girl!"
"..."
Ken Kaneki turned his head stiffly, seeing Takatsuki Izumi looking over curiously, he picked up a dim sum and handed it to Takatsuki Izumi, "Mr. Takatsuki, the dim sum won't taste good when it's cold."
Takatsuki Izumi's interesting taste: "Is that your senior?"
"Well, a senior in the senior class." Kaneki Ken brought this matter up in one sentence, "Where else do you want to visit, Mr. Takatsuki?"
Izumi Takatsuki said without thinking, "Library, I've heard the name of the library of Dongda University for a long time!"
Kaneki Ken asked, "What kind of books does Takatsuki-sensei like to read?"
Takatsuki Izumi quickly cleared the plate, and after finishing eating, he asked the other party, "Guess what."
There was a smile in Kaneki Ken's eyes, "Is it Dazai Osamu's book?"
Takatsuki Izumi was surprised: "I guessed it right."
"I happened to hear from other people that Mr. Takatsuki's writing was inspired by Osamu Dazai." Kaneki Ken pushed the things he asked from the other party in his previous life to other people, "I often read books by Osamu Dazai when I was young, I don't know Which book does Takatsuki-sensei like? There should be a lot of classics in the library.”
Izumi Takatsuki held his chin, "I don't have a specific book, I think any book is super interesting."
Her lips were slightly parted, and her snow-white teeth were biting lightly under the red lips.
"There's a sense of kindred spirit."
"what?"
"The same loneliness, the same insight into this society, I obviously don't want to laugh but I can't help laughing. Sometimes walking in the crowd feels like walking dead, but it has more human pursuit than walking dead."
"..."
"Does Jin Mu-kun feel this way?"
Izumi Takatsuki took off his glasses, his green eyes were softer than expected.
But under the softness.
It is a sharp and extreme examination of human nature.
"There used to be." Jin Muyan involuntarily told the truth, cold sweat appeared on the palm of his hand, "Now there is no more."
Takatsuki Izumi wondered, "Who changed you?"
Kaneki Ken came back to his senses and shook his head, "No, I found what I lost."
"That's great." Takatsuki Izumi concealed his slender and sensitive personality as a writer, "Many people can't get back what they lost, Kaneki-kun is so lucky—" She smiled and put a rabbit snack in Kaneki-ken The mouth is close, the eyes are close, as if treating a friend I have known for a long time, "Come, eat one! For this luck!"
Kaneki Ken opened his mouth, and after biting down, his face twitched for a second.
It's really not good.
But in front of Takatsuki Izumi, he still ate the horrible snack that tasted like sawdust.
Takatsuki Izumi can naturally tell whether a person likes to eat something or not.
"Don't you like sweet things?"
"Um……"
"Sorry, I won't force Jin Mu-jun to eat this next time."
"Uh, thanks."
"Pfft - there's nothing to be thankful for. Jin Mu-kun is too gentle, making me feel like I've become a vulgar woman." Takatsuki Izumi shrugged, "Don't force yourself, just spit it out if it doesn't taste good."
Kaneki Ken said, "It's over."
Takatsuki Izumi admired his temper: "You have the potential to become a gentleman, Kaneki-kun."
Kaneki Ken: "...No, I don't want to be a gentleman."
Izumi Takatsuki: "Huh?"
Kaneki Ken complained: "The few gentlemen I know are not normal people."
Takatsuki Izumi quietly pointed to the seat not far away with his index finger, "There is a man over there who has been watching you with fiery eyes."
Even with Rumang on his back, Kaneki answered Izumi Takatsuki without changing his expression: "You must have misread it. That senior looks at many people so hotly. Maybe he is looking at Teacher Takatsuki."
Izumi Takatsuki covered his face, and a small pink flower floated up, "Thank you for your kind words, he is a handsome guy."
Kaneki kept smiling.
After tasting the special snacks of Dongda University, the next stop is Dongda Library.
"There are too many books in the library. If you want a specific book, you can go to the computer at the front desk to check it." Kaneki Ken ignored Tsukiyama who was following him, and introduced the library to Izumi Takatsuki familiarly. He lowered his voice, taking care not to affect other people. people.
Izumi Takatsuki indicated that he wanted to read Osamu Dazai's book.
Kaneki Ken knew that area very well, "I know where it is, follow me."
The interior of the library is required to be quiet, hygienic and clean, and the air conditioner is always on, so standing between the bookshelves has a refreshing and comfortable feeling.Izumi Takatsuki fell in love with the library of Dongda University in an instant. He stood beside the bookshelf holding Dazai Osamu in his hand, and looked down, looking like he was indulging in the sea of books.
Kaneki Ken smelled the smell of Takatsuki Izumi when there were no other people nearby, which was a bit weird.
"Did Takatsuki-sensei wear perfume today?"
After thinking for a long time, he found a reasonable explanation.
"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious." Izumi Takatsuki suddenly said something while reading a book.
Kaneki Ken was helping him find the next book, and looked over upon hearing this.
Izumi Takatsuki held the book and said, "Why is Kaneki-kun wearing a blindfold? Is it an eye injury, or is it an activity by the Propaganda Department to protect the eyes?" She gave her own opinion, "It would be more handsome to change to a patterned black blindfold."
"World Eye Care Day is June [-]th, and it has passed long ago." Kaneki Ken said helplessly, "My eyes were injured, and I didn't wear them to pretend to be cool, and if I replaced them with black patterned eye masks, then I would become a pirate. styling?"
"Ah, I found it." Kaneki Ken's fingers touched the words on the book, and he was overjoyed.
"Takatsuki-sensei, the book you want—"
Izumi Takatsuki went close to him, stood on tiptoe, "Yes, this is the book! Kaneki-kun, find a way to get it!"
Kaneki Ken took a little skill to get the book out of the shelf.
Just as he lowered his head to give the book to the petite Takatsuki-sensei, suddenly the blindfold on his left eye was ripped off.
Takatsuki Izumi was so close to him that he could smell a woman's breath.
"Jin Mu-kun... isn't injured."
"!!!"
