"That being said, this workload is not something that most people can handle."
"."
"I'm surprised why a principal like me would say such a thing. The reason is simple. I used to be a teacher too."
"Is it in Jubei?"
"Of course. That's why I admire your excellent qualities as an educator and your excellent teaching philosophy."
Fujii Itsuki was embarrassed and refused the title, "Principal, you are too kind."
"Come on, don't you think you deserve this honor, Mr. Fujii?"
"where."
"Stop being modest."
Then, the principal smiled and patted Fujii Itsuki on the shoulder, saying, "Keep it up!" He also intended to give him the title of the best teacher in the city this year.
The principal is gone.
But it left Fujii Itsuki feeling melancholy.
Best teacher?
Recently, memories of Jiuhua and Xinchun have emerged, and Fujii Itsuki truly feels unworthy of this title.
Furthermore, he felt very sorry for his childhood dream of becoming a teacher and leading others.
This feeling of torturing myself came back again.
Fujii Itsuki really had no way to relieve this feeling, so he had to hurriedly urge himself to wash his hands and find a place to calm down.
"Brother Tree~Brother Tree~"
"Chitose."
Fujii Itsuki, who was sitting under the shade of a tree in the back garden, looked up and saw Chitose Haruki with a smile on her face.
"Xinchun-chan, please let me find you!"
"Find me?"
"Xinchun-chan said that some classmates need to go out to buy new cheerleading pom-poms. This requires you, Brother Shu, to agree to the expenses~"
"I see."
"Brother Shu, what are you doing sitting here? I've been looking for you for a long time, but I can't get through to you on your phone."
Fujii Itsuki took out his mobile phone which he had muted, and there were actually seven or eight missed calls and unread messages.
He tried his best to explain: "It's okay, Chitose, I was just too tired from running just now, and I don't want to be disturbed, so I came to this windy place to rest quietly by myself."
He tried to smile, and it was this smile that made Chitose Yangkui, who was originally a little worried, also smile and was no longer worried about Fujii Itsuki's condition.
"Brother Shu was so awesome just now!"
"I'm glad to know that." Fujii Itsuki sighed in his heart, touched her head, and didn't blame her.
"But I hope Brother Shu can be as persistent and long-lasting as he was just now at night~"
Fujii Itsuki slapped him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Qian Sui is still young~ I'm afraid Brother Shu won't be able to handle it in the future~~"
".It's useless to worry about it."
"No more talking. Hehe~"
Fujii Itsuki sighed softly, and his mood improved a little because of Chitose's cute smile.
But only a little.
After sending Chitose away, he stood up and went to the playground to take a look around the tent of Class 2-A.
There were no important competitions on the first day of the sports festival. There was the opening ceremony in the morning, and some easy competitions such as sprinting and standing jump in the afternoon.
Because it is a large-scale event carried out by the whole school.
Xinchun's job as class monitor is not easy either.
Calling people, preparing anti-heatstroke medicines, and handling the expenses of sports supplies in the sports festival. All of these have to go through her hands.
Should we say that she is worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Matsumae family?
She handled everything calmly and in an orderly manner.
Fujii Itsuki even felt that as long as she was there, he only needed to nod his head when it came time to spend money.
Her seriousness, her concentration, her fair skin kissed and reflected by the sun was so dazzling that Fujii Itsuki couldn't help but squint.
She is so reliable.
This is what Fujii Itsuki thought.
"teacher?"
When Fujii Itsuki woke up, it was already afternoon.
The falling clouds were fiery red and crows were fluttering and cawing on the telephone poles.
But the girl with teardrop mole in front of me is beautiful.
The outline of her face was reflected in the setting sun, and her concerned expression was as gentle as a maple leaf.
"What am I?"
"Teacher, you fell asleep with your eyes closed in the seat behind the tent this afternoon."
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
"Everyone thought that you were too tired from running so they didn't dare to disturb you to rest."
Fujii Itsuki put down his hands that were supporting his face, raised his head and looked around.
Indeed, the students in the school have begun to pack up and prepare to go home.
Fujii Itsuki picked up his phone dazedly and looked at the message.
Jiuhuayue sent him a message.
The content was to shout at him to "definitely, definitely, definitely go home on time!". Today she had to attend the kendo club's pre-match training and would not be able to go until after seven in the evening.
Xiao Jiuhua is a child who just likes to compete.
Especially with Xinchun. When Xinchun signed up for long-distance running and kendo, she also signed up even though she didn't know anything.
"and many more?"
Fujii Itsuki reacted and looked at the girl who had been waiting for him:
"Xinchun, you didn't go to the Kendo Club's special training today?"
Matsumae Shinchun smiled gently, "Shinchun applied for a day off today."
"."
Fujii Itsuki imagined what expression Jiuhuayue had in the kendo club right now.
"Xinchun is not feeling well?"
"Well, there are some these days. But teacher, this is not the point. The point is, are you free tonight?"
"."
Here it comes, taking advantage of Jiuhuayue's absence and sneaking in.
Fujii Itsuki knew it very well and wanted to refuse.
"But, teacher, you haven't been to Xinchun's house for a long time."
The reason why Xinchun is so irresistible is her sincerity.
She was telling the truth.
But
The title of "Best Teacher" mentioned by the principal came to my mind again.
Fujii Itsuki frowned, feeling upset and conflicted.
"teacher?"
The strange thing is that this emotional entanglement actually eased a little at this moment.
why?
Because of Xinchun’s gentle “teacher”?
"Teacher, if you feel bad, just tell Xinchun. Xinchun knows how hard you pushed yourself in the competition today, and how hard you worked. Xinchun understands it all, so if you want to say anything to Xinchun or need anything, just tell her."
A cute female student who is always willing to show her complete tolerance to me!
At this moment, Fujii Itsuki felt a lot.
Will you promise her?
Don't you agree to her?
Fujii Itsuki, oh Fujii Itsuki, you've been stuck in your emotions all day and can't get out of it.
Don’t you think that the title of “Best Teacher” mentioned by the principal has made you realize the meaning of your dream again?
Isn't this what you've always dreamed of?
How can you just because of an invitation from a cute female student -
"Teacher, do you want to come to my house? I have prepared many surprises for you."
"Come."
The girl's question instantly broke Fujii Itsuki's delusion.
Listen to this voice that makes people cry.
Although it was just a gentle "teacher", the care and longing contained in it are emotions that even the heroine in a TV drama could hardly depict.
Is this a reason to refuse?
