On the Shinkansen back to Tokyo, Izumi Toru finally met Shiraishi Shizu.
However, the latter only froze for two seconds and then hurried past him without even saying hello.
Izumi Toru wanted to reach out and grab her, but changed his mind the moment he took action.
Now that I have caught her, what can I say?
There were so many classmates in the carriage that it was impossible to say some things.
He could only hold back his desire to talk and sit in his seat.
"Izumi, are you okay?"
Seeing him looking unhappy, Shiratori Kyoko felt a little worried.
Izumi Toru held her hand and smiled at her.
"I'm fine."
"oh……"
The girl knew that he didn't want to tell her, so she obediently didn't ask any more questions.
She held his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder, hoping that such intimacy would make him happy.
On the other side of the carriage, Bai Shijing turned back secretly and glanced at Izumi Toru.
She actually didn't want to hide like this, but she was afraid.
She was afraid that Izumi Toru would say something strange and make her become strange too.
In that state, there was no majesty at all, just like a little girl.
How embarrassing that is.
She bit her lower lip.
Izumi, just let me hide for a while.
Originally, she was thinking of hiding for a few days, but...
"Izumi-kun, you and the teacher take another car."
Jinguji Seihime pulled Shiratori Kyoko and got into the car before Shiraishi Jing could react.
Bai Shijing watched blankly as the car carrying three girls drove away, and then she became panicked.
Izumi Toru took the suitcase from her hand, put it in the trunk, and opened the rear door.
"Get in the car."
The back seat of the car was like a maw of an abyss, making the woman take two steps back.
"I, I suddenly remembered something..."
"I send you."
"Well, that's not the way to go..."
"I'm free."
Bai Shijing: "..."
Izumi Toru: "..."
After looking at each other for a while, the woman was defeated.
She clenched her fists, then lowered her head and got into the trunk.
Now, I really can’t escape...
Izumi Toru sat next to her and closed the car door.
The vehicle started slowly and its destination was Bai Shijing's apartment.
The woman was on tenterhooks, fearing that Izumi would talk to her.
Izumi Toru said nothing.
This made her start to panic.
Are you angry because I have been hiding?
So, she secretly tugged at the corner of Izumi Tetsu's clothes.
"He, Izumi~"
Hearing her soft voice, Izumi Tetsu almost couldn't help but laugh happily.
But on the surface, he remained calm.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Izumi Toru's expression was still calm, Shiraishi Jing was sure: he was indeed angry.
Did his actions make him misunderstand something?
Not so!
I just……
Somewhat embarrassed.
Women think a lot, and the more they think about it, the more they feel that something is wrong with them.
So, she hesitated for a while and prayed softly: "Don't, don't be angry, okay?"
"good."
"Liar, you didn't even smile at me. Are you still angry..."
Izumi Tetsu can no longer pretend.
He pressed the button and the car body was divided into two parts by a black curtain.
Then, he looked at the woman and grabbed her hand.
"Uh-huh!"
The warm autumn wind lingered around the car all the way.
The car stopped in front of Shiraishi Jing's rented apartment.
But it took a long time for the two of them to get off the bus.
Shiraishi's eyes were red, and he hit Izumi Toru on the shoulder again and again, looking extremely aggrieved.
Izumi Tetsu felt the soft pain in his shoulder and couldn't help but laugh.
This laughter almost made Bai Shijing cry.
She hummed, grabbed the suitcase, and was about to take it from his hand.
"Give it to me, I'm going in!"
Where would Izumi Tetsu be willing to let go?
"At least bring it to the room. It's very heavy."
"Need not!"
"use."
"Need not!"
"use."
Bai Shijing let go of his hand and looked at him angrily.
Izumi Tetsu would not be deceived by her appearance.
It's obviously because I'm shy...
After a stalemate for a while, Bai Shijing turned around and entered the apartment.
Since there is no snatching of luggage, it means that one can [enter the room].
Izumi Tetsu followed her happily.
After entering the elevator, Bai Shijing's expression returned to normal.
She told Izumi Toru: "Don't say anything when you see Xiaohui! Put down your luggage and go back as soon as possible! Do you hear me?"
"Uh-huh!"
Izumi Toru agreed wholeheartedly.
Then I sent a message to Xiaolin Hui.
[Izumi Toru: Teacher Kobayashi, is there anything you want to eat? My sister and I will go back right away. 】
Shiraishi Jing didn't notice that Izumi Tetsu was chatting with her best friend. She was just thinking about how to pretend that nothing happened in front of Kobayashi Megumi.
When she came to the door, she took several deep breaths, then took out the key and opened the door.
"Xiao Jing, you are back!"
Xiao Lin Hui, who was reading in the living room, saw Bai Shijing coming back and immediately rushed towards her happily.
Just after running two steps, Shiraishi Toru appeared behind her, and her steps stopped again.
"Ahem, Izumi is here too."
It seemed that he was embarrassed to act like a little girl in front of the students.
Izumi Tetsu bowed to her.
"excuse me."
The young man praised in his heart: You are indeed an adult, your acting skills are superb, I give you full marks!
Putting the luggage in the bedroom, Izumi Toru came to the living room.
"Sister, Teacher Xiaolin, I'm leaving first."
"Eh? Izumi is leaving in such a hurry? Why don't you have a cup of tea and take a break?" Megumi Kobayashi said with some surprise.
Izumi Tetsu [somewhat moved], he looked at Bai Shijing and asked: "Sister, is that okay?"
The anticipation in the young man's eyes made Bai Shijing's heart tremble.
"Of course..."
So, Izumi Toru stayed in the living room as a matter of course, drank tea, ate snacks, and chatted...
"Hey, you still have my gift?!" Xiao Linhui covered her mouth and said in surprise.
She was really surprised this time.
"yes."
Izumi Toru took out a necklace from his backpack.
"I asked White Bird to get this for me at the temple. If you put it on, you will meet your destined person one day in the future."
"Does the temple still care about this?"
"As long as you give me money, I don't care about anything."
As Toru Izumi said, he handed the necklace to Megumi Kobayashi.
Xiao Linhui glanced at the necklace in her hand, and then at Bai Shijing.
"Xiao Jing, can I accept it?"
Bai Shijing understands her friend's problem.
If it is in the name of a student, naturally it cannot be accepted.
but……
"Take it."
If he is the younger brother of his best friend, then there will be no problem.
Bai Shijing thought so.
Now that she has received the gift, Kobayashi Megumi naturally has to do something.
then……
"I feel a little sorry for receiving such an expensive gift. As a thank you, how about you stay here for dinner today and I'll prepare the food?"
"No, let's forget it."
"Ah? Why?"
"Sister said that Teacher Xiaolin's cooking skills are not yet suitable for ordinary people to enjoy. As an ordinary person, I can only refuse."
Izumi Toru said it very tactfully.
The implication is that Mr. Kobayashi, your food is inedible to humans, so let’s forget it.
"Eh? Xiaojing, how can you say that to me?!"
"Ahem, that...this..."
Bai Shijing's eyes wandered, a little embarrassed.
However, it is really hard to swallow.
She doesn't feel guilty at all.
"Humph! I don't want to eat it, I don't want to do it yet!" Xiao Lin Hui crossed her arms and said angrily.
Seeing that her friend was angry, Shiraishi had no choice but to shake her arm and ask for forgiveness.
"I'm sorry, Xiaohui, don't be angry. Okay?"
"If you don't like my food, you just like your Izumi's cooking, right? You go and eat... Huh? Wait!" Kobayashi Megumi [suddenly] thought of something, "Izumi, Xiaojing said that you have been good at cooking since you were a child.
Not bad. Is it true?"
Izumi Toru smiled modestly.
"I can barely eat it."
"Suddenly I'm a little curious. How about..."
Shiraishi listened quietly to the conversation between his best friend and Izumi Toru, and the more he listened, the more strange he felt.
We clearly said that we would drop off our luggage and return to Qingshui Residence, so why did we end up in a situation where we were required to prepare food?
Seeing Izumi Toru rolling up his sleeves and walking towards the kitchen, she didn't understand.
