By the way, could this kid have done this on purpose?
The next second, Fujii Itsuki shook his head in his heart.
Should not be
He could understand why Matsumae was taking advantage of Chitose if she wasn't Chitose.
How could such an obedient and polite child like Matsumae be thinking about his teacher?
The closest relationship I have with her is that of a close friend with the same interests as me.
Matsumae was probably just too scared by his aunt's approach and stepped back subconsciously, and he didn't intend to get closer to me.
"Xinchun! Xinchun!"
"Auntie is coming closer"
"Matsumae, don't move back, your waist."
"I know."
Matsumae Shinchun was also shy, but she could do nothing as she held Baihua with one hand.
There weren't many bamboos blocking her view to begin with, and if the light shone a little on them, she could see inside. She had to hide little by little, doing her best.
"Matsumae.!"
".Teacher Fujii, keep your voice down and don't move. If my aunt doesn't find me later, she will leave."
"But your waist."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to touch you, Mr. Fujii."
Although Fujii Itsuki tried not to think about it, the scene was too ambiguous.
Even though Matsumae Shinharu had just finished taking a bath and had no other clothes on, just a thin silk feather robe, he put his arms around her waist.
The space was too narrow and he couldn't lift it up. He was afraid of stepping on the bamboo leaves if he stepped back.
It’s so uncomfortable!
Fujii Itsuki felt very depressed.
The worst thing was that Matsumae's half-exposed shoulder was right next to his chin, and the girl's ear was close to his nose.
With every breath he took, he could inhale the floral scent coming from the girl's neck.
Fujii Itsuki's heart was filled with emotions, but he had to try his best to avoid it.
[Professor, I’m sorry, Professor, I’m sorry, Professor, I’m sorry, Professor, I’m sorry]
Whenever he could no longer hold his breath and inhaled the scent of Matsumae's shoulder, Fujii Itsuki would silently repeat "I'm sorry, professor" countless times in his heart.
This can alleviate the guilt a little bit.
Professor!
I'm really sorry!
I really didn't mean to do this to your daughter!
"Xinchun! Xinchun?!"
Yoshiko Matsumae came to the hot spring and looked around, but did not see her cousin in the hot spring.
She couldn't help but complain, "Where has this child gone? How come he is so obedient at ordinary times, but he is so ignorant at the critical moment? Really."
Yoshiko Matsumae stood by and muttered to herself, then looked around.
"Ok?"
My aunt's eyes suddenly swept over here.
Fujii Itsuki's heart was pounding. At this moment, he felt the weight of Matsumae's body pressing on the palms of his hands. He had to hold her back and support her soft waist in the limited space.
What kind of thing is this!
Fortunately, Yoshiko Matsumae didn't notice it. She turned around, returned the same way, and left quickly.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Matsumae Shinharu finally had the chance to stand firmly, and Fujii Itsuki took the opportunity to let go of her waist, but his hands felt a little numb, and the girl's softness seemed to still linger in his palms.
Matsumae Shinharu walked out of the bamboo forest first, stepping on the dead leaves, and Fujii Itsuki followed her out.
The two faced each other.
The girl held the snow fox and bowed her head first:
"Teacher Fujii, I was really careless and lost my balance just now. I am so sorry! I didn't mean to get so close to you."
"I should be the one to apologize. And..."
Fujii Itsuki sighed and explained why he came here just now.
"Master Baihua, did you bring Teacher Fujii here?"
Matsumae Shinchun's hand that was stroking the snow fox's fur suddenly stopped. The girl seemed to realize something.
"Woo~"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Fujii Itsuki saw Matsumae Shinchun's face full of surprise.
"No, it's nothing."
Matsumae Shinchun was very nervous and didn't want to answer, but she felt it would be inappropriate not to answer.
"Teacher Fujii, I told you before, Master Baihua is the guardian deity enshrined at the Matsumae Shrine. I also raised him."
"Yes."
"It is not only the guardian deity of the shrine, but also my guardian deity. Today, it is actually here to enjoy everyone's offerings on behalf of Lord Baiye."
"This..." Fujii Itsuki didn't understand.
Matsumae Shinchun explained: "That is to say, Master Baihua is now the agent of Jade Fox God. Master Baihua's meaning is the meaning of Master Jade Fox God."
Matsumae Shinchun lowered his head and continued to mutter:
"And don't you think so, Mr. Fujii? Lord Baiye is holding the ancestor's jade bracelet and leading the ancestor to find the right path, while Lord Baihua is holding your wallet, Mr. Fujii. Isn't this a meaning?"
"."
Fujii Itsuki doesn't quite understand the mysteries of Shintoism.
He is a staunch materialist fighter.
How can people's opinions be decided by a so-called god, a little snow fox?
But he will choose to respect.
Because this is the tradition of the Matsumae family.
"In other words, I came here because of God's guidance?"
"Yes!" Matsumae Shinchun was extremely sure.
"Woo~" The snow fox also called out with its eyes narrowed in her arms.
Matsumae Shinchun smiled and stroked Baihua, "Teacher Fujii, look, Baihua said so."
Fujii Itsuki only thought that Baihua was a smart fox, with the intelligence of a six or seven-year-old child:
"It's just a coincidence. I think Baihua just wanted to find you, Songqian. Of course, I don't mean to refuse to take responsibility. Songqian, whatever you decide, the teacher will accept it."
Matsumae Shinchun shook her head: "I don't quite understand what it means, so I can't give you an answer."
"."
"But don't worry, teacher. If it was Master Baihua who brought you here, then seeing it by chance" Matsumae Xinchun's cheeks were flushed, "is something that we can't help. Or we can say that it was the guidance of the gods. So teacher, don't worry about the Jade Fox Festival."
Fujii Itsuki just thought that this was a way for Matsumae to save face.
"Also, teacher, please don't mind if you accidentally saw me taking a bath."
"Is this also the guidance of God?"
"Well," the girl said shyly, "Teacher, you can understand it that way."
Is the Jade Fox God of the Matsumae family the god of marriage?
Do you actually have a habit of bringing people to watch girls take a bath?
Or is it that Matsumae is trying to find a way out for himself?
What a kind-hearted student.
Fujii Itsuki felt ashamed and felt really guilty towards Matsumae. He should have been more attentive when taking care of her in the future.
"The festival parade is about to begin. Teacher, please come with me. You can sit in the living room first. I will change my clothes and then visit you, Mr. Fujii."
"Okay." Fujii Itsuki had no objection and instead breathed a sigh of relief.
so far so good.
Because of this big mistake, the entire Jade Fox Festival could not be carried out.
He followed Matsumae Shinchun carefully out of the back garden, and then took advantage of an empty space to sneak into the reception room.
Matsumae Shinharu was holding Baihua but walking in a hurry. She went to the locker room and found Matsumae Yoshiko waiting for her at the door.
"What's going on?" Matsumae Yoshiko frowned.
"Sorry, Auntie, I went to the bathroom on the way."
"Did you take a bath afterwards?"
"went."
"That's good."
Matsumae Yoshiko relaxed her brows and took Matsumae Shinchun and Baihua in her arms into the locker room.
The goddess pays attention to dressing in gorgeous and solemn clothes. She will wear twelve pieces of clothing and sit on a colorful sedan chair.
The twelve single garments, that is, twelve additional "heavy coats" on top of the single garments, are destined to be something that Matsumae Shinharu cannot accomplish alone.
Yoshiko Matsumae took off her niece's clothes and left her standing naked in the middle of the dressing room.
