She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 521 - SEIJI: HIS UNTOLD STORY I

Seiji was one of the most excited students at that time. His father was busy managing their business after his grandfather retired from the business world. His mother has to help his father as well so, in the end, his grandpa accompanied Seiji during the field trip.

You can say that Seiji was spoiled by his grandfather very much but he wasn\'t a willful and disobedient child. He was sensible and he would always weigh things down if it\'s part of what he needs or what he wants.

He would always listen to his parents and his grandfather.

However, on the day of the field trip, he found a reason to disobey his parents for once. At that time, Cayenne was walking to school with a test paper on her other hand and a young boy on her other hand. The child at that time was Luiz. Since Cayenne was busy reviewing the test papers that she got from her teachers, Luiz was guiding her to make sure that she won\'t bump into someone else. She looked so pretty when she was serious and she was actually paying attention to what her brother was doing.

As they walked, they passed by a street vendor who sells candies and chocolates. It was just a light pull from Luiz but Cayenne stopped walking and looked at her younger brother.

Since Seiji was quite some distance away from them, he couldn\'t hear what they were talking about but based on his observation, she must have been asking what her brother wants. Cayenne bought to pieces of candies and gave it to her brother. She said something again and her brother appeared to be worried and scared.

Perhaps they were scared that their parents would find out that they ate candies so, instead of going to school, they sat on the flower box that the government place on the roadside. Her brother ate the candies happily and after that, they left.

"What are you looking at?" Grandpa Sy asked while looking around to see what his grandson was looking at. But because Cayenne left already with her brother, he didn\'t see what caught the interest of his grandchild.

"Grandpa, can we look around the city and check their schools?" Seiji asked his grandfather, looking at him with hopeful eyes like a puppy looking pitifully at his master. "Please?" he even clasped his hands together as if praying for agreement.

"I don\'t think we can explore their school." His grandpa stated. "Today is Friday and we promised your parents that we will come home right after the field trip. Aside from that, if we chose to stay over the weekend, schools are close by that time."

"Then, how about we visit the school right after the field trip ends. And we can go home after that." Seiji retorted just so he could find out which school did Cayenne goes to. "We won\'t need to look from different places. We can just look at the schools around here."

"Well, I don\'t mind that." Grandpa Sy answered without knowing the real cause as to why he wanted to look around the schools in City A.

Their teacher called for everyone\'s attention after breakfast and she informed them of what the students should look into and observe the surroundings and the people properly. Seiji has always been smart so when the task was given to them, he was very diligent and made sure to work on them properly. He didn\'t ask help from his grandpa and just worked like everyone else.

Seijie observed that people in City A likes to interact with other people even if they\'re strangers meeting in the street. Someone even greeted them good morning even though they didn\'t know the person. As they continued to walk, he found that there was a different way to greet old people.

Usually, whenever he comes home from school or whichever place he went to, as soon as he sees his grandfather, he would only greet him happily, hug him and hand him some souvenirs.

In City A, what Seiji observed was that, young ones like him will greet their elders by asking for the elder\'s hand and then, the younger person will press his or her forehead on the back of the elder\'s hand. The reason behind this gesture is to show that you are respectful to them.

Among everyone, Seiji was the first student to finish the activity and he was even ready to write down his report paper. It was almost lunch when he finished the activity so, he went to his teacher with his grandfather following behind him.

"Teacher, I\'d like to submit my activity now. Since I finish the activity before everyone else, can I go somewhere with my grandfather?"

"Oh! Okay. Make sure to keep yourself and don\'t cause trouble." The teacher said while receiving his activity sheet. "Make sure to write your report paper and submit it on Monday."

"Yes teacher."

"Thank you for your guidance." Grandpa Sy told the teacher before leaving to have lunch on their own and finally visit the school around City A.

Earlier, while they went to different places which his teacher marked, Seiji was observing many people. Well, not really the people but the clothes that they were wearing. He was checking if he could see someone with the same uniform as Cayenne, probably a late-comer or someone who skipped a class but there was none.

Seiji and his grandpa dressed ordinarily to blend in with the other people. Since it wasn\'t their territory, it would be better if they won\'t draw any attention. Although many people still looked at him because he was really handsome.

When they were eating lunch, Seiji borrowed a pen and paper from the waitress and drew something on the white sheet. "Pretty sister, do you know where I can find a school with this uniform?" Seiji handed the sheet which shows a drawing of a female uniform. "It should be around her but I couldn\'t really find it."

"AH! This is St. Monica Middle School. It\'s a semi-private school. It\'s indeed around here. Are you planning to go there?"

"Yes. I want to visit this school."

"I see. If you don\'t mind, I can show you the way around one in the afternoon. I will be having a fifteen-minute break and I think it\'s more than enough to get there."

"Thank you, pretty sister." Seiji smiled sweetly and the waitress also smiled towards him before excusing herself.

"So, you were specifically looking for this school?" Grandpa Sy asked his grandson as he placed his cutleries on the side of his plate. "Have you been aiming for this school since earlier?"

"Yes, grandpa."

"Why?"

"Because my future wife is there."

For the very first time in his life, Seiji received a hard knock on his head from his ever-loving grandfather.
