The sun was setting in the west, and Mu Yang had just woken up from his reading state. In these materials, he really found some useful things for himself.

  Tianjin was originally the location of the North China Garrison Command of the Japanese invasion army, with its headquarters located at Hai Guang Temple, where Okamura Yasuji once worked. After the July 7th Incident in 1937, the North China Command moved to Beiping, and the troops here were reorganized into the Chinese Garrison Mixed Brigade, with Mei Zhen Meicheng, Tada Tsune, and Kōzuki Seiji all having served as commanders of this army.

  The Chinese Garrison Mixed Brigade was reorganized into the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, and the current division commander is called Ochiai Jinichirō, with the rank of Lieutenant General. The chief of staff is called Sekine Kūtarō, with the rank of Major General. The headquarters of the 27th Army remained at Haikou Temple.

  The task of searching for clues about the antique seems to have fallen on the 27th Division Commander, Okui Shin Kurō and Chief of Staff, Sekine Kitarō.

  Mu Yang closed the book, stretched his waist, and found that the girl beside him was still reading. Mu Yang didnt disturb her, went straight to return the book, and walked out of the library building.

  "Wait a minute, wait a minute." A girls voice came from behind, and it was in Japanese.

  Muyang curiously turned around and found that Akizuki Misa was holding a book and running down the stairs of the library, directly towards Muyang.

  "Please wait a minute, I have something to ask you." The girl ran over, slightly out of breath.

  "Hey, whats wrong Akizuki Mio?" asked Mutou. Okay, this has a kind of J-drama feel to it.

  "Hello, Id like to ask you something. Are you Chinese?" Akane Akiyama asked.

  The two had already exchanged names earlier, but Mei Sha discovered that Mu Yang was using a Chinese name. At first, she thought that someone who could speak such fluent and pure Japanese must be a Japanese exchange student, but it turned out that she was wrong.

  While reading a book in Muyang, Mei Sha thought that with such strong foreign language skills, she could definitely help herself quickly improve her Chinese proficiency, at least making communication much easier, and she could ask for advice on learning foreign languages.

  "Let me introduce myself again, Im Akiyama Misato, from Kyoto, Japan. Im a student of Chinese language at Waseda University and an exchange student." She said with a bow to Muyang.

  Mu Yang curiously looked at this strange and pretty girl, without bowing or greeting, because he was not used to such gestures.

  "Ive been in China for almost a year, but I feel like my Chinese has improved very slowly and I still cant communicate fluently with Chinese people. Just now, I heard your Japanese was spoken extremely standard, so Id like to ask you, is there any good method that can help me quickly improve my Chinese?" Akane Akiyama looked at Muyang with a longing gaze.

  "Do you think the teachers at Beiwai are not good enough to teach you?" Mu Yang found this amusing.

  "No, no, the teacher is very strict, but Im too stupid, I just cant learn well. Ive asked many people for help, but they dont have any good methods either. Its really frustrating." The girl looked frustrated, and it was actually quite cute.

  "I dont have any special methods to teach you, I can only say that learning more, listening more, watching more, asking more questions, going out often and communicating with Chinese people will be very helpful for improving your spoken language," said Mu Yang.

  "Yes, many people always say that, but the people we usually communicate with are our Japanese schoolmates who study abroad, it seems like the more we learn, the less standard we become." The girl pouted.

  "Haha" Mu Yang burst out laughing, he had heard how that group of foreigners learned Chinese before. A group of foreigners gathered together to speak Chinese, with all sorts of accents, it was quite amusing.

  "If you want to find someone to chat with and practice your spoken language, you can look for me," said Mu Yang.

  The temptation of beautiful women is still great, and Mu Yang is no exception.

  "Really? Thats great! Do you want to be my master? Ill treat you to dinner, consider it a gift for being my master." said Akiyama Misa excitedly.

  "You even know about the etiquette of visiting a master, it seems youve learned quite a bit. Since theres no activity tonight, what do you want to eat? Ill treat you." Mu Yang showed his gentlemanly demeanor.

  "It seems that a fish shop has opened near Lijiang Pearl, spicy water boiled fish, I havent tried it yet, lets go and try it." Akizuki Misato said with some excitement.

  Muyangs eyes widened, a Japanese girl who loves Sichuan cuisine is really something else. Anyway, its been a long time since Ive had Sichuan food, so Ill just eat it.

  "Thats good, from now on, well communicate in Chinese and stop speaking Japanese, how about that?" Murai suggested.

  "Good, please instruct me." This sentence was spoken in Chinese by Akiyama Misa, and its quite standard and fluent. However, the conversation that follows is a bit of a disaster, with both people stuttering and stumbling over their words, making it extremely uncomfortable to listen to. Moreover, many of the pronunciations are unclear, requiring a lot of guessing and inference to understand the general meaning.

  "I now know why Chinese people dont want to communicate with you guys, its too tiring." Murong said with a smile.

  Akiyama Misa was given a big red face by Mu Yang.

  When they arrived at the restaurant and the dishes were served, Muyang found that the girl he had initially thought was completely different.

  Akiyama Misa was indeed able to eat spicy food, but sweat also broke out on her forehead, and she would occasionally stick out her tongue to fan herself cool, or gulp down ice water, before throwing herself back into the task of eating fish, rummaging through the piles of chili peppers for pieces of fish.

  Muyang found that Qiushan Meixia was indeed a naive and straightforward girl, not pretentious, but very elegant and lovely. Sometimes she spoke slowly, sometimes she was enthusiastic and lively. Muyang wasnt familiar with comics, could this be what they called a Japanese 2D beauty?

  After dinner, the two of them walked on the street, strolling back to school.

  "Sir Moyang..." Just as Qiushan Meisha was about to say something, she was interrupted by Moyang.

  "Wait, you can call me Muyang, classmate Muyang, senior Muyang, but dont add the character for junior." Muyang said.

  "Why?"

  "Its just a matter of habit. This is China, and we should follow Chinese customs when addressing each other. It will also help us better blend in with the atmosphere here, wont it?"

  Actually, Muyang just didnt like being called that, so he made up this excuse.

  The girl tilted her head and looked at Mu Yang, nodding and saying, "Okay, senior."

  "May I ask you a question, senior?"

  Akane Akiyama stopped and looked at Muyang, she was standing on the curb, Muyang was walking below, now their heights were even, under the orange streetlights, Akane Akiyama looked extremely beautiful.

  Muyang looked at Akiyama Misakis face and replied, "Ask away."

  "Does Senpai dislike Japanese people?" The girl suddenly asked with a somewhat depressed tone.

  "Why are you asking this?" Murong asked in puzzlement.

  "Because this afternoon in the library, the senior was reading a book about Japans war in Asia. Although my spoken language isnt very good, I still recognize the two characters for resist Japan." The girl stared at Mu Yang with wide eyes.

  " I dont dislike people from a certain country, but rather those who have invaded China and brought her great pain, such as the invading Japanese army, but not all Japanese civilians."

  The girl seemed to let out a sigh of relief, her eyes twinkling with amusement as she asked: "So, what kind of girls do you like, senior?"

  "Beautiful." Murong Yu replied jokingly.

  "Would Senpai like a Japanese girl?" The girl looked into Mu Yangs eyes.

  "Only if its pretty."

  The girl laughed and ran two steps forward, then turned back and shouted: "Senior is a big pervert." She yelled this in Chinese, very loudly, and the people around them couldnt help but turn their heads, thinking that Mu Yang had done something outrageous, and they all looked over with curious eyes.

  Muyangs face turned black and he quickly ran after him.

  Arriving at Akiyama Misas dormitory building for international students, the girl said: "Can I ask a favor of my senior?"

  "Lets talk about it."

  "Can you accompany me to practice oral English in the morning, senpai?" Akizuki Misas eyes sparkled with hope, and the reflection of the lamp light on her pupils made her look like a character from a Japanese manga.

  Its just right that I need to practice my own Japanese, at least so that when others ask me, I wont be in a situation where I havent even practiced and yet have passed the professional Japanese exam.

  "Okay."

  Akane Akiyamas face lit up with joy, and she said excitedly: "We meet every other day in the corner of the playground to practice our oral skills. There are also many Chinese students learning Japanese there. Tomorrow morning at 6:30, well gather on the playground, can you make it?"

  "No problem, see you tomorrow morning."

  "See you later, senior", and then laughed as he ran into the dormitory building.
