VIP Exam (7) Helping Karuizawa Part 1

After Yi Chen swapped SIM cards with Sudo Ken.

Yi Chen took the lead and called Tangben Yishan.

Spa room.

"Student, your phone is ringing."

Tangben Yishan said lazily:

"Help me bring it over, thanks."

Tangben Yishan answered the phone.

Yi Chen:

"Yishan, where are you? I have something to discuss with you."

Tangben Yishan looked blissful and replied somewhat languidly:

"I'm over at the spa getting a massage."

"If you have something to say, Yi Chen-kun, come over here and we can talk while we get a massage."

Yi Chen hung up the phone.

Tangben Yishan looked at the disconnected call, didn't think much of it, and continued to enjoy his massage.

Yi Chen arrived at the spa service area and asked the attendant for Tangben Yishan's location.

The attendant led Yi Chen to Tangben Yishan's massage room.

Since this was the men's section of the spa.

There was also a sauna service here, so one had to shower before entering.

Yi Chen took a quick shower before heading off to find Tangben Yishan.

Of course, all services on the Cruise Ship were free, and Yi Chen was only there to find Tangben Yishan to discuss business.

After showering and changing into a clean towel, he arrived at the door of Tangben Yishan's spa room.

Yi Chen knocked on the door:

"It's me, Tangben Yishan."

Hearing the voice, Tangben Yishan had the attendant open the door.

Yi Chen entered the room.

The room contained a large bed with seating nearby.

Yi Chen sat down and leaned against the wall.

He looked at Tangben Yishan, who was currently having his back massaged with essential oils, with a helpless expression.

The attendant asked:

"Would you like a massage service?"

Yi Chen shook his head to decline.

Tangben Yishan said lazily:

"What's the word? Yi Chen-kun, what is it you need?"

"I can help you out once I'm finished with my massage."

He said indifferently:

"No need, I just wanted to learn a bit about the members of your class."

Tangben Yishan looked curious:

"Oh? What's wrong? Has someone in our class caught your interest?"

Yi Chen sighed helplessly:

"Yes, your class... they all seem to be cut from the same cloth."

"Forget it, just hurry up and finish so you can take me to meet the girls in your class."

Tangben Yishan smiled knowingly:

"What do you mean by same cloth? What's the matter, do you have your eye on a girl in our class?"

"You rascal, you already have a girlfriend like Ichinose, yet you're still having thoughts about the girls in our class."

Yi Chen said coldly:

"Stop joking around, how much longer?"

The attendant spoke up:

"Student, we're almost at the final step, it should be another 20 minutes."

Tangben Yishan laughed:

"Don't be so impatient. Just tell me which girl you're looking for, and I'll just invite her over for you."

Yi Chen said indifferently:

"I don't know her name."

Tangben Yishan replied:

"It looks like you're really in a hurry. Tell me her features then."

Yi Chen thought about how all three of them looked at the time and said calmly:

"I'm looking for three people from your class."

"A blonde with short hair, and on top of her hair, a... a horizontal line?"

Tangben Yishan burst into laughter upon hearing this:

"Hahaha, I know exactly who that blonde with short hair is."

"She's the only one in our class, her name is Zhenguo Zhibao."

Yi Chen asked:

"What is she doing lately?"

Tangben Yishan said indifferently:

"I don't know. She and I aren't dating, how would I know?"

"Brother Yi Chen, if you really want to see her, I can call her right now."

"She should be quite interested in you too."

Yi Chen rolled his eyes at Tangben Yishan:

"Forget it."

"There's also a girl with long green hair."

Tangben Yishan said:

"Oh, there's only one person with green hair in our class, and she is indeed quite close with Zhenguo."

"Yabu Nanami."

Yi Chen continued:

"And another one with two braids and brown hair."

Tangben Yishan replied:

"Oh, that trio? That one is Yamashita Saki."

"I didn't expect you to remember them so clearly. What business do you have with them?"

Yi Chen said indifferently:

"Have they been causing any trouble lately?"

Tangben Yishan's eyes widened upon hearing this, as if he realized Yi Chen wasn't looking for them for anything good.

Tangben Yishan asked nervously:

"They've always been normal? Why, Brother Yi Chen, did they offend you?"

"Or did they offend someone of yours?"

Yi Chen said indifferently:

"That's none of your concern. I just want to see what those three are planning to do next."

Tangben Yishan asked weakly:

"Do you want me to call that Zhenguo now and have her come over?"

Yi Chen nodded:

"That works."

Tangben Yishan hurriedly picked up his phone to call Zhenguo Zhibao.

After the call connected, Tangben Yishan said:

"Zhenguo, it's Yishan. Are you free right now? Come over to the spa room, there's something going on."

Zhenguo Zhibao sounded dissatisfied on the other end:

"Yo, Tangben Yishan, what the hell do you want with me? Get to the point."

Tangben Yishan glanced at Yi Chen beside him and said with a smile:

"You'll know when you get here. There's a handsome guy here who wants to chat with you."

Once Zhenguo Zhibao heard there was a handsome guy, her tone improved instantly:

"Tangben Yishan, you're actually capable of doing something good for once. Which class is he from, how handsome is he, and what exactly does he want with me?"

Tangben Yishan replied:

"You'll know when you get here. Please, just come."

Zhen Guo:

"If he isn't handsome, Tangben Yishan, you'd better watch out."

After hanging up the phone, over on Zhen Guo's side, Yamashita Saki and Yabu Nanami asked indifferently:

"Whose call was that, Zhen Guo?"

Zhen Guo looked at the two of them with a vain expression:

"That kid Tangben Yishan, he said some handsome guy is looking for me for something."

"He even asked me to go over there; it must be another person captivated by my beauty."

Yamashita Saki said enviously:

"Wow, that's so great, as expected of Zhen Guo."

Yabu Nanami said enviously:

"Then, Zhen Guo, can we go take a look together?"

Zhen Guo looked indifferent:

"Of course you can, come along. I'm going to reject that person anyway."

"What kind of handsome guy could Tangben Yishan possibly know?"

On Yi Chen's side.

Tangben Yishan said to Yi Chen:

"She'll be here right away, probably just a matter of minutes."

Yi Chen nodded slightly:

"Then I'll go outside and wait for them first."

Tangben Yishan hurriedly stood up:

"Hey, I'm going too, wait for me."

The attendant heard this and asked:

"Student, are you not getting a massage anymore?"

Tangben Yishan stood up and adjusted his bath towel:

"Yeah, thanks, buddy. I'll come back to finish it next time."

The attendant:

"Alright, you two, come back again soon."

The two went to the changing room to put on their clothes and blow-dry their hair, then headed outside to breathe some fresh air.

Not long after, Zhen Guo and the other two walked toward them.

Zhen Guo and her friends looked at the handsome Yi Chen.

Yamashita Saki:

"Hey, isn't this the guy from Class D?"

Zhen Guo thought about Karuizawa, who had bumped into a classmate from her own class and was also from Class D, and looked impatient:

"Tangben Yishan, is this the handsome guy you were talking about?"

Tangben Yishan said happily:

"Haha, that's right, Zhen Guo. Isn't he handsome?"

Zhen Guo stared at Yi Chen's face:

"Isn't this Ichinose's boyfriend? What do you want with me?"

Yi Chen slowly stepped forward and approached Zhen Guo.

Zhen Guo's face instantly flushed red.

Yi Chen placed one hand on Zhen Guo's shoulder and said coldly:

"You were bullying Karuizawa from our class today, weren't you?"
