Pale red hues spread across the horizon at dusk.
Mrs. Jiutiao stretched her arms high, elongated her body, and after a deep breath, she turned her head and said,
"Lin, Meiji, Mr. Dubian, would you like to have dinner together?"
Kiyono Lin hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
The four of them stood up, and Dubian Che, in a lowered voice, asked Jiutiao Meijie,
"Shall I say something to them?"
Jiutiao Meijie hugged her elbows and glanced at him with her eyes.
"Teacher, senior, goodbye," Dubian Che raised his voice to the two.
Mayi Asuka nodded slightly.
"Goodbye," Xiaoquan Aonai responded, and then she said to Mrs. Jiutiao, "Mrs. Jiutiao, goodbye!"
"Goodbye. Mr. Xiaoquan, please take care of Meiji at school," Jiutiao Zhenji replied with an elegant and composed smile.
After speaking, she took the arms of Jiutiao Meijie and Kiyono Lin, heading towards the exit.
