Chapter 1653 White Snow House (I’m always hungry before going to bed)


    [September 6, Friday, 5:30 pm]


    "Really, why do I have to continue to assume the responsibility of the teacher even though I have left school!"


    While driving on the highway, Teacher Gan Xia complained unhappily.


    "Because this is a club activity, Xiao Ganxia must participate, and Xiao Ganxia, ??you are not so reluctant."


    Hachina saw Teacher Gan Xia joking with a smile.


    "I was very happy to go out together last time."


    "It''s true...but Duanmu, what you said is true?"


    Gan Xia glared at Hachina helplessly, and then immediately changed the subject.


    "Is there really a handsome guy?"


    “There should be.”


    Duanmuhuai glanced at his phone.


    "Mr. Ueno is a famous folk scholar. He has a deep understanding of Japanese folk customs and history, and has friendship with many master directors in the entertainment industry. This time his museum is opened, and people from all walks of life will be sent there, and they must be successful people."


    "That''s it, that''s good... well... In this way, I have more opportunities..."


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, Teacher Gan Xia''s eyes were also shining - an unmarried woman in her thirties really would not miss any opportunity to see a good man.


    What everyone is heading to is the home of Uenoki, the folk scholar introduced by Director Kiyomizu to Duanmu Huai. This old man was already in his seventies. He was obsessed with studying ancient Japanese folk customs and history all his life, and had outstanding achievements in both aspects. Whether it is official or unofficial history, it is well-known, and he is also a professor in the History Department of Dongda University.


    But compared to historians, Mr. Ueno seems to prefer the title of folk scholar. In fact, Duanmu Huai went to the scene this time mainly because he was invited to attend the opening ceremony of Mr. Ueno.


    I heard that the old man opened a museum in the suburbs, and the souvenirs exhibited by him who have studied folk customs throughout his life will open tomorrow. Because Mr. Ueno has directed many folk customs and historical parts in TV series and movies, he is also a bit famous in the entertainment industry.


    When Duanmu Huai was looking for director Qishui, the latter happened to learn about this, so he mentioned it to Mr. Ueno, and he enthusiastically sent an invitation to Duanmu Huai to welcome him to attend the opening ceremony.


    So Duanmu Huai called Hachina and Chibata. Of course, because they are all minors, they need adults to accompany them, so they brought in consultant teacher Xiao Ganxia.


    Originally, Xiao Ganxia didn''t want to go, but when she heard that there would be many young handsome men in that kind of occasion... Well, now she is more active than anyone else.


    Although Duanmu Huai is an older unmarried female teacher who looks as small as hers, there is no possibility of success at all.


    But...who knows?


    After all, even if there is a 99% chance of failure, there is a 1% chance of success.


    "My father also met Mr. Ueno."


    Chibata also spoke at this time.


    "That old man feels quite energetic, and he likes to talk weird things."


    "Yeah?"


    "Um………"


    Chibata''s expression is rare and complicated. She doesn''t like stories that will kill people, so she is naturally not very interested in strange talks. Maybe the old man Ueno once caught her and told her something strange. If this is the case, it would be quite tormenting for Chitanda.


    In fact, Chitanda didn''t want to come this time, but it seemed that her father hoped Chitanda could come and say hello to Mr. Ueno, so she had to follow him with the bullet.


    "That''s it?"


    “The navigation should be correct.”


    When the group followed the navigation to reach their destination, it was more than an hour later.


    “Is this a museum?”


    Hachina looked at the tall building in front of her curiously, and seemed a little surprised. This is also normal. Not only Hachina was a little surprised, but even the others were the same. Because when it comes to museums, everyone thinks of such grand and magnificent buildings.


    However, the building in front of me is more like a villa apartment than a museum. From the walls are full of ivy and old-fashioned style, it can be seen that this villa has a long history. If it weren''t for the three words "Snow Pavilion" hanging on the villa, then no one would have regarded this place as a museum.


    "We''re not going wrong, are we?"


    Teacher Gan Xia picked up her cell phone, squinted her eyes and looked at the map in confusion, but Duanmuhuai had already hung up the phone.


    "It''s right here, come with me."


    As he spoke, Duanmu Huai brought a few people to the gate of Baixue Pavilion and then rang the doorbell. Then soon, someone opened the door and walked out.


    She looked like a woman in her twenties. She was dressed in a dress very simple and elegant. When the woman saw Duanmu Huai, she was stunned for a moment.


    "Hey? Are you Miss Duanmu Ai?"


    "Yes."


    Duanmuhuai lowered his head.


    "I am Duanmu Ai from Mei PRO. This time, I am honored to come to the opening ceremony for Mr. Ueno."


    Seeing Duanmu Ai’s reaction, Hachina Miya, Chibata and others hurriedly bowed their heads and bowed.


    "Ah, welcome to everyone, please come in."


    As he spoke, the woman welcomed everyone in.


    When everyone entered the house, they found it even more strange. Although it was a museum-like hall, it looked like a general home decoration. This made everyone not know for a moment whether to follow the visiting process of other people''s homes or the visiting process of the museum... "Ah, please don''t worry."


    The woman obviously saw everyone''s doubts and hurriedly smiled and solved the doubts.


    "The first floor here is all museums, so please feel free to you."


    "First floor? Nothing isn''t it?"


    "The second floor is the teacher''s residence... Ah, I haven''t introduced myself yet. My name is Sakura Kasumi, and I am a student under Mr. Ueno."


    The woman named Kasumi Sakura is a female college student and a disciple of Mr. Ueno, so she came here to be responsible for entertaining guests - well, this is also normal.


    According to Sakura Kasumi, this is a museum and also the home of Mr. Ueno. I have to say that this is really shocking. At least Duanmuhuai couldn''t understand why anyone wanted to merge their home and museum. However, if an extraordinary person does extraordinary things, Duanmu Huai doesn''t care about the old man''s mental health problems.


    According to the design of the villa, the first floor originally had a lounge, reception room, restaurant and other places, but now these places have been cleared and decorated into exhibition halls. Even in the corridor, you can see exhibition cabinets placed on both sides and exhibition stands fixed to the wall.


    There are many things inside, everything is there. According to Ms. Kasumi Sakura, these exhibits are divided according to types, such as toys, daily necessities, flowers, plants, trees, insects, animals, etc., and even pots and pans. Of course, these exhibits are not done just by placing them there. Below each exhibit, there is an introduction card. What the brand describes is folk legends or stories related to these exhibits.


    Duanmu Huai looked at a few--well, that was a pillow that would die when sleeping, this was a cursed Shisong doll, next to it was a hair comb used to comb hair that would make you bald...


    I have to say, it''s really interesting.


    Hachina Miya looked at it with relish, but Chibada looked cautious and dared not get close, as if these exhibits were highly poisonous and would die if they touched it.


    As for Teacher Gan Xia... Forget it, she only cares about when her good man will appear.


    Even the restaurant in the villa was changed to the style of a cafe. When Sakura Kasumi opened the door, Duanmu Huai saw that there were already several guests sitting inside - it should have been here before.


    "Hey? Miss Duanmu? Are you here too?"


    Several of them were quite surprised to see Duanmuhuai appear, while Duanmuhuai nodded.


    "Yes, this time I was invited by Mr. Ueno to attend the opening ceremony - these are members of my club and consultants."


    "Society... Oh, by the way, I forgot that Miss Duanmu, you are still a high school student."


    One of the big men patted his head and laughed.


    Soon, the other people also stepped forward and introduced themselves to Duanmuhuai. Although they are all older than Duanmuhuai in terms of age, in terms of social status, that is another matter.


    The four people present were composer Maekura, Ueno''s colleague at university, Sato, professor of literature, like Duanmu Huai, producer Murata from the entertainment industry, and the big man who greeted Duanmu Huai before - the Metropolitan Police Department searched the first lesson.


    In addition, there are Ueno''s students. In addition to Sakura Kasui who welcomed Duanmu Huai and others into the door, there are Uena Mika and Miyamoto Takashi.


    Compared with Kasumi Sakura, Mika Ueda looks very fancy and has blonde hair dyed, which looks like the kind of hot girl who loves to play.


    Miyamoto Takashi was a liberal arts student wearing glasses and looking very unspeakable. Especially when facing Duanmu Ai, Hachina and Chitanda, his face turned red with a nervous look. He couldn''t speak, so he reluctantly said hello and retreated.


    When Duanmu Huai greeted the other party, Qianfantian sat quietly beside him without saying a word. As the eldest lady of Qianfantian family, she has attended similar banquets many times and has long been used to it. As for Hachina, he looked around for a moment, and soon his attention was attracted by the snacks placed on the table.


    Then there was no more.


    Putting the food in front of Hachina, the outcome is obviously only one.


    "By the way...why are you here?"


    Duanmuhuai stared at the detective Dashan and frowned slightly, while the latter smiled bitterly and waved his hand.


    "Don''t look at me like this. It''s not official business that I''m here today."


    "Don''t tell me that you have a personal relationship with Mr. Ueno?"


    “Hehehe……”


    Faced with Duanmuhuai''s inquiry, Dashan Criminal Police scratched his head, looking very embarrassed.


    "Actually... Mr. Ueno is my father-in-law. How can I not come and support me?"


    "oh……"


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai immediately understood.


    If you don’t come, this person will probably have to kneel on the washboard when he goes back.


    "Student Xiao Ai, do you know this Mr. Dashan?"


    At this moment, Hachina saw that she was eating snacks curiously, and she came over to ask, while the Dashan detective laughed.


    "When we were filming TV series, we worked with the crew, so I met Miss Duanmu because of something. Oh, I said......"


    "Um?"


    “Nothing is nothing.”


    Seeing Duanmu Huai snorting lightly, Dashan Criminal Police immediately smiled and stopped talking. Seeing this scene, Hachina Mi and Chibada became more and more curious.


    "Squeak——!"


    At this moment, the door on the other side of the restaurant opened, and then an old man in a kimono and holding a crutch in his hand walked in with great strides.


    Seeing his appearance, everyone stood up and saluted him.


    This is no one else, it is the owner of this Snow House and the owner of this place - Mr. Ueno.
