Bai Shijing and Kobayashi Hui's work stations are facing away from the window. Bai Shijing's cactus is on the window sill, and Xiaolin Hui's foliage plants are under the window.
Shiraishi pinned Izumi Toru on the chair, put one hand on the table, and pointed the other hand at the blank document on the computer and threatened: "Today, you are not allowed to leave until you finish writing the manuscript!"
"ha?"
"Don't worry, I'll be here to supervise you when you finish writing!"
"I don't think that's a reassuring thing to say."
"Say it again?"
"Ahem, I mean, in order for Teacher Shiraishi to go home early, it seems that I have to show some real skills."
Bai Shijing rolled her eyes at him.
You talk so handsomely, but you are actually afraid of getting beaten, right?
"Hurry up and write."
"Uh-huh."
Izumi Toru adjusted the slightly tilted keyboard, then sat up straight and began to formulate ideas.
This submission should include four elements: cherry blossoms, romance, survivors and keeping silent.
Love is the theme, cherry blossoms are the season, survivors are the characters, and silence is the setting.
In this case, it would be most appropriate to commit suicide for love and live forever.
For the sake of the twists and turns of the story and its completeness, the deceased should be filled in by a third person.
But how do you keep survivors alive instead of continuing to seek death?
The dialogue from "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" suddenly came to mind.
[After eating a person, the soul of the dead person will continue to live in the person who ate it]
Thinking of this, the plot chain in his mind gradually took shape.
He stretched out his long fingers, tapped on the keyboard, and typed out the first line of words.
【Death is the rejection of all understanding.】
Shiraishi moved a chair to sit next to him, opened the food box Jinguji Kiyohime prepared for Izumi Toru, took out the cherry cake and put it in his mouth.
Just after chewing it twice, her eyes lit up.
Delicious!
.....
squeak!
Kobayashi Hui opened the door and walked in.
"Xiao Jing, let's have a drink together? Hey, Izumi, you're here too, let's have a drink together... Ah, sorry, I almost forgot, underage people are not allowed to drink."
Hearing the grade director's words, Izumi Toru stopped, turned his head, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. When I reach the age of twenty, Teacher Xiaolin, don't forget to owe me a drink."
"You kid, you are really smart."
"After all, my family is poor."
"If you are twenty years old and can still remember me as a teacher, let alone one drink, ten drinks will be fine."
"Don't worry, I am second in grade and have a very good memory."
Xiaolin Hui nodded, "That's true."
After saying that, she walked to her office, put the coat hanging on the chair on her arm, looked at Bai Shijing and asked, "How long will it take?"
Bai Shijing was a little confused.
You just made a bold statement about supervising him, but now you have to abandon him and go drinking?
But......
"It's over. I still have the last few materials to sort out. I can just do it myself."
Hearing Izumi Toru's words, Shiraishi was stunned for a moment.
But before she could refute, Izumi Toru pushed her to Kobayashi Megumi's side forcefully.
"Don't keep Teacher Xiao Lin waiting for too long, go quickly!" After saying that, he looked at Xiao Lin Hui again, "I will lock the door when I leave."
"Then let's go first."
Xiao Linhui took Bai Shijing's arm and walked out of the office.
After closing the door, Izumi Toru returned to the computer, glanced at the food box that he had opened at some point, and was stunned.
Where is my cherry cake?
Where did all those sakura cakes go?
.
.
"Hiccup! Hiccup!"
"Xiao Jing, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Lin Hui looked at Bai Shijing worriedly and asked.
Bai Shijing patted his chest for a while before he recovered.
"I'm a little full..."
"..." After hesitating for a while, Xiaolin Hui asked carefully: "Can you still eat barbecue?"
"It doesn't matter, what I just ate was dim sum. Dim sum and barbecue are placed in two stomachs!"
"This kind of foodie setting that looks cute but actually only causes weight gain is outdated long ago."
"No way! Besides, I've been practicing boxing recently, so I won't gain weight. Don't worry!"
Xiaolin Hui's steps suddenly stopped.
"Practice boxing?"
"What's wrong?"
"I feel a little sorry for your future boyfriend." Kobayashi Megumi muttered in a very low voice.
"Xiao Hui, what did you say?"
"No, nothing, it's here."
Maybe she doesn't plan to find a boyfriend either...
Walking into the barbecue restaurant, Bai Shijing smelled the aroma of barbecue and swallowed hard.
She tugged at the corner of Xiao Lin Hui's clothes and said with a fierce face: "Xiao Hui, don't let me drink later!"
"Are you afraid of getting drunk? Don't worry, I will take you home."
"No, because that will affect the speed at which I eat meat!"
Xiaolin Hui helplessly raised her forehead, "I'm starting to regret bringing you here."
.

【1897】
After typing the last line, Izumi glanced at the lower left corner and suddenly felt a toothache.
There are still one hundred and three words left.
Otherwise, that's it?
Anyway, there is no rule that says it must be more than 2,000 words.
He clicked [Save], but when the mouse pointer was placed on [Close], he hesitated.
Although I am very confident in my own level, even if I just submit it like this, I can still win a prize and go home early, but...
"well!"
After sighing helplessly, Izumi Toru started checking from the beginning again.
【1921】
...
【1939】
...
【1952】
For the third time, looking at the general characters in the lower left corner, Izumi Toru leaned on his chair and covered his face.
So difficult...
so hungry......
Bang!
The office door was suddenly pushed open.
Seeing the person coming, Izumi Toru was stunned for a moment.
"Teacher Shiraishi? Why are you back?"
"There's no reason to leave the students here to starve while the teacher goes to eat barbecue and drink sake!" Bai Shijing raised the paper bag in his hand, "I don't know if it tastes good, but in short, eat it all with gratitude.
.”
Seeing her smiling and raising the paper bag, Izumi Tetsu's pupils dilated for a while.
Then, he suddenly sat up straight, pressed the keyboard and started typing.
[Satomi raised the paper bag in his hand...]
Word count problem solved!
After making simple modifications, he deleted two words and clicked [Save].
Lower left corner: [2000].
Perfect!
"Let me see how it goes."
The warm breath in my ears smelled of alcohol, but it wasn't unpleasant.
Izumi Tetsu gave up his seat, picked up the food she brought and ate it.
Bai Shijing looked at it for a while, his cheeks felt a little hot.
Why, use my character!
What else is there to say about unilateral...
Hey! Don’t be ashamed!
However, the writing is pretty good...
Did you also add the scene where you just raised the paper bag? Could it be to round up the number?
Bai Shijing looked at [2000] in the lower left corner and guessed the answer.
"Teacher Shiraishi, is it okay if you are like this?"
"What?"
"Although I haven't entered the workplace yet, I also know that it is not appropriate to leave the party early, right?"
"It's pointless to stay there when you're full," Shiraishi Jing stretched out his hand and rubbed Izumi Tetsu's head, "Besides, I can't just leave the students alone."
Izumi Toru sighed, "You just value your students too much, that's why you don't have a boyfriend, right?"
"What did you say?!" Bai Shijing pulled his face hard and asked viciously.
