Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 919: Chapter 915: Overturning the Vinegar Jar

Since abroad there isn’t a suitable place and tools, Huo Sining didn’t rush and temporarily threw the sword into the storage ring, planning to deal with it once she returned home.

After saying goodbye to Nara Nigawa, Huo Sining returned to the dorm at Waseda University. It was already past six in the evening, but Hinata Chinatsu hadn’t returned yet.

Huo Sining noted down today’s travel experiences and insights on her computer, and then contacted Gu Xu.

There is a one-hour time difference between Dongyang and Huaxia, and this is the time when work is almost over. Gu Xu just began to pack up when he heard a beep from his computer, eagerly opened the message, and sure enough, it was from the girl he had been thinking about.

But after opening the message, Gu Xu was almost frustrated.

He originally thought his wife had gone so far to Dongyang that she would definitely feel uneasy, unable to eat or sleep well, looking haggard and eager to return.

As it turned out, he was just overthinking. In the penguin window, the heartless girl had sent him a bunch of photos from her half-day tour around Dongdu.

From Waseda University to Shinjuku Metropolitan Building to Nijubashi to Ginza, in each photo the girl was smiling brilliantly, looking very happy, nowhere near the anxious image he imagined.

What made Gu Xu even more frustrated was that the girl had sent a few group photos at Dongdu’s antique street, his wife striking a victory pose with a man in his thirties, standing side by side looking quite delighted.

Gu Xu suddenly felt both angry and jealous, subconsciously typing: ”Who is this man?”

Across the screen, as Huo Sining sat on the bed, she could already sense the smell of spilled jealousy and couldn’t help but laugh, deliberately replying in a cheerful tone:

”This guy, I met him at an antique store in the afternoon, his name is Nara Nigawa. Mr. Nara is half Dongyang and half Huaxia, very knowledgeable about Huaxia culture, speaks Mandarin, and is quite warm-hearted.”

”I was planning to visit antique shops in the afternoon, and upon hearing my plan, Mr. Nara volunteered to show me around. The antique shops in Dongyang are scattered; without Mr. Nara, a local guide, I wouldn’t have found them.”

The more Gu Xu listened, the more uneasy he felt. His wife is so beautiful and smart, alone in Dongyang for less than a day and already attracting attention. If she stays for three or four months, who knows how many wolves will eye her. Just the thought of it made Gu Xu’s face turn dark, his gaze freezing cold like ice.

He couldn’t just sit back and let his wife be outside, it’s too unsafe.

Gu Xu rapidly pondered and considered solutions.

Meanwhile, Huo Sining had no idea that her few words had Gu Xu thinking so much. After recounting her day’s outings, she asked about the progress at Changhua Chicken Blood Stone Mine and, learning it was near completion and progressing smoothly, she felt relieved.

Just as they were chatting, the dorm room door suddenly opened from outside, and Hinata Chinatsu rushed in, face red and out of breath. Huo Sining quickly sat up straight, said goodbye to Gu Xu, and shut down the computer.

”Sorry, Huo Sining-san. The shop was busy today, so I’m late. You haven’t had dinner yet, have you?”

Hinata Chinatsu bowed to Huo Sining with a sincere apology.

Huo Sining shook her head repeatedly; she felt slightly awkward with the formality of Dongyang’s etiquette, finding it somewhat heavy and burdensome.

Accepting such formal apologies was difficult for her, so she promptly jumped off the bed, avoided the gesture, and finally sighed in relief, saying to Hinata Chinatsu: ”I haven’t eaten. Didn’t you say you were going to show me around the night market? I was waiting for you.”

Sure enough, at the mention of the night market, Hinata Chinatsu’s eyes lit up, nodding eagerly and saying: ”Let’s go now. I just received my salary today, so I can treat you to a great meal.”

Huo Sining found it amusing; another foodie indeed, so excited about visiting the night market.

After packing up a bit, the two slung their backpacks and headed out.

After leaving the school gate, Hinata Chinatsu expertly led Huo Sining through several alleys and soon arrived on a main street: ”This road is the closest way; Meiyuko and I always take this shortcut to Shinjuku Main Street.”

Huo Sining smiled and nodded as they walked along, soon seeing bright, warm lights up ahead.

”The night market here is in its final day today. Tomorrow it will move to Bunkyō Ward, so we won’t have such a food feast for several months. We need to eat more today.”

Seeing the night market ahead, Hinata Chinatsu excitedly grabbed Huo Sining’s arm and rushed forward. Hearing her words, Huo Sining felt confused and asked while running: ”Aren’t night markets held every day?”

Hinata Chinatsu turned back, looking puzzled at Huo Sining: ”No, night markets migrate, staying only ten or fifteen days, then moving elsewhere.”

Upon hearing this, lines appeared on Huo Sining’s forehead. She seemed to have misunderstood; Dongyang’s night markets are quite different from those back home, especially after further questioning Hinata Chinatsu, she understood.

It turns out that the adored night market in Dongyang is actually an interim one. Dongyang’s markets are similar to temple fairs, held at fixed times and places in districts, then moving to others.

Despite being temporary, standing amidst the night market, Huo Sining didn’t sense any ”temporary nature.” Varied stalls lined the street, from ramen and grilled chicken shops to dumpling stands and bars, offering diverse, steaming hot food, bustling with people, much like Huaxia’s night markets.

However, from the night market-goers, one could feel the difference, on the way there, Huo Sining often passed by excited or blissful people heading toward or leaving the market, faces filled with joy, their expressions resembling ”once gone, it’s gone.”

Being able to experience such joy and novelty at the night market, Huo Sining silently mused that perhaps this was the legendary authentic Japanese lifestyle?
