Chapter 210: Long-lost Familiarity
Chapter 210: Long-lost Familiarity
"Alright, alright, let's all go! Let's get together again tonight! I have guests with me, and I can't just let them stand there like idiots at the door. That would be inappropriate, wouldn't it?"
Lin Yu waved his hand with a smile on his face. As he spoke, he nodded to everyone.
However, these enthusiastic soldiers did not seem to want to leave. They still gathered there, talking in a flurry.
"My dear colleagues, look, the guests are getting a little impatient waiting. We should be considerate of them, right? Let's disperse quickly. How about we have a party tonight?"
Seeing this, Lin Yu had no choice but to persuade them patiently again. Just like that, after Lin Yu's earnest persuasion, after a long time, these soldiers finally dispersed gradually.
"Tetsuzaemon, please go to the Sixth Division and ask Rukia Kuchiki to come over. Tell her that all her friends in the real world are here with me."
After the crowd dispersed, Lin Yu turned to look at Tetsuzaemon beside him and gave his first order after his return.
"Yes, Captain! I'll do it right away!"
Tetsuzaemon responded, then turned and left quickly, disappearing in the distance in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go, Orihime."
Lin Yu took Zhiji and the others into the captain's room which he had not seen for more than 20 years.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Look at this layout, it's still the same as before. I wonder if Tetsuzaemon and his gang rearranged it, or if it's always been this way."
Lin Yu sighed while shaking his head.
You know, every captain has his own unique style. Take Lin Yu for example, his style of doing things has always been simple and unpretentious.
When you walk into his captain's room, you can see only a few pots of lush green flowers and plants dotted around, and there are no other unnecessary decorations.
However, in this seemingly simple and plain room, the most eye-catching object is the huge wine table.
"Hey! It's the same table again!"
Lin Yu slowly walked to the table, muttering to himself. At the same time, he stretched out a hand and gently stroked the table, and the familiar touch instantly came to his heart.
This table had been with him through nearly a thousand years, and it was truly an antique. If he ever ran out of money, he could bring it to auction, and it would surely fetch a staggering price.
"Teacher, is there anything special about this table? Could it be that it hides some unknown and surprising origin?"
At this moment, Zhiji, who was standing aside, stared at the changes in Lin Yu's expression with curiosity, asking about the origin of the table like a curious baby.
"Huh?! This is just an ordinary drinking table, nothing special."
Lin Yu looked at the innocent Zhiji in front of him and couldn't help laughing at her cute appearance. It turned out that Zhiji had been staring at the table, as if she thought it held some special secret.
"Haha, don't be so curious. This table is just a little old. It's probably over a thousand years old."
Lin Yu explained lightly.
However, upon hearing this, Orihime's eyes widened in surprise. "A thousand years? That makes it an antique! Isn't that special enough?"
She originally thought that Lin Yu just wanted to show off in front of her, but she didn't expect that such an ancient thing actually existed.
Lin Yu didn't explain any further, but turned and walked towards the corner of the captain's office. He came to a pot of seemingly ordinary flowers and plants, reached out and fiddled with them for a few times, and then something magical happened. With a slight "click", a secret compartment slowly opened in the smooth wall!
As the secret compartment opened, an extremely rich aroma of wine instantly wafted out, filling the entire room. This aroma was incredibly mellow and refreshing, and just the smell of it made one feel intoxicated.
"Hehe, luckily no one has ever discovered it."
Lin Yu looked at the neatly arranged bottles of fine wine in the secret compartment with great pride, and he was so happy. These were all rare and exquisite wines that he had carefully collected. Even if he was greedy, he would not be willing to take them out to taste them on weekdays.
However, Lin Yu, who was filled with joy at the moment, did not know that during the time when he was not in the 7th Division, the old fox Kyoraku Shunsui had already found various excuses to sneak into his captain's room countless times.
Jingle Chunshui had only one goal, and that was to find a way to get away with Lin Yu's extremely valuable collection of fine wines. Unfortunately, every time Jingle Chunshui went to the store, he would return empty-handed, because the place where Lin Yu hid his wines was too hidden and ingenious.
"Teacher! These wines smell so good."
Orihime stared at the exquisite wine bottles on the table with her big watery eyes, as if attracted by an invisible magic.
"Yeah, it smells really good!"
Cha Du was also attracted by the aroma of the wine.
Several people sniffed the rich aroma of wine in the air, with an intoxicated look on their faces.
"Although the wine smells good, you can't drink it. After all, you are still students. Just smell it and enjoy it."
Lin Yu reminded Zhiji and the others earnestly that minors are not allowed to drink this stuff.
It would have been fine if Lin Yu hadn't said this, but once he said it, it seemed to add fuel to the fire in his already restless heart.
Orihime and the others swallowed several times unconsciously, their throats gurgling, and their eyes never left the wine bottles.
Lin Yu didn't dare to delay for a moment, and quickly reached out and took out a bottle of wine from the hidden compartment. His movements were extremely agile, as if he was afraid of being discovered, and then he closed the compartment again with lightning speed.
Next, all we have to do is wait quietly for Rukia to arrive.
"Teacher Lin Yu, you clearly promised to inform me about my parents' situation! Why are you silent now?"
At this moment, Ishida Uryu on the side suddenly couldn't control his temper. For him, the only purpose of following this time was to find out the truth about his parents. As for other things, he had no interest at all.
"Why are you so anxious? Since I promised you, I will not break my promise. Do you think I will lie to you?"
Faced with Yulong's anxious questioning, Lin Yu seemed quite calm. He raised his head and glanced at the boy in front of him who always looked aloof, and couldn't help feeling a little funny.
"Then...I'm leaving?"
As Yulong spoke, he slowly raised his foot and made a move to turn and leave. His movements seemed hesitant, as if he was still reluctant to leave like this.
"Alright! Alright! You unlucky kid. Before Rukia comes over, I'll have a good talk with you."
Lin Yu's tone was filled with helplessness. This kind of arrogant attitude was really annoying.
