"I told her about our agreement to be together after the game."
"That's it"
"One more thing."
"What else?"
".I don't know if you can accept it, Xinchun."
"What? Just go ahead, teacher."
"That's what I told Xiaoyue. When I fulfill my promise to you, I want to take her with me. That's what I said."
Matsumae Shinchun suddenly propped herself up from his arms and looked at him with a look of surprise.
Surprised, shy, ashamed.
Her eyes twinkled in the moonlight, quite beautiful.
".Teacher, why would you say something like that? It's weird, isn't it?"
"Don't you all tacitly accept each other's existence? I don't want you to quarrel every day. Be honest with each other."
"Teacher, is this really the case?"
"Really. But I really want to be with you guys."
“Is this the teacher’s wish?”
"Will Xinchun agree?"
"I, I." Matsumae Shinchun folded his right hand over his heart.
"If Xinchun doesn't like it, just reject it."
".Will Xiaoyue keep watching?"
"You definitely can't let her watch all the time. She'll get angry."
"Then Xinchun will not agree."
"But Xinchun is definitely the protagonist, and I will definitely take care of you, Xinchun, this time." Fujii Itsuki said again.
"Then Xinchun agreed."
"Really?"
"Well, I want Xiaoyue to have a good look at me and have a good competition with her."
".Why are you arguing over something like this?"
"That's the kind of thing we should compete with each other on! And even though we're always competing with each other, Xiaoyue must be my friend."
You are actually blood-related sisters.
Fujii Itsuki looked at her little face and thought.
"But what if Xiaoyue doesn't agree to me now?"
"Teacher, please wait. I will go and persuade Xiaoyue!"
Chapter 259 Love for sisters
The school does not allow students to smoke on the rooftop.
So when Akai Muzi saw a shadow sneaking up to the rooftop, she immediately followed it.
She came to the end of the stairs but did not leave first. After all, arresting someone also requires evidence, and she also needs to be realistic as a teacher.
After waiting there for a while, Akai Muzi walked onto the rooftop. The moment she saw the man's back, her brows furrowed.
She walked over.
"Ashu!"
As soon as Fujii Itsuki saw someone coming, he immediately put out his cigarette.
"Ashu, what's going on? Are you smoking again?" Akai Muzi glanced at the ground and then looked at him with a serious expression.
"Sorry." Fujii Itsuki said sincerely.
Seeing this, Akai Muzi's tone softened a lot, and was more questioning.
"Sorry? Didn't you promise Jiu Huayue that if she saw you, she would talk about you for two days when you go back? Why are you still--"
Akai Muzi paused while asking.
It wasn't because of anything else, but because the first time she saw Fujii Itsuki just now, she felt that it was very similar to a scene in the past.
At times like this, he often has troubles in his heart that are difficult to resolve.
She immediately asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
"nothing."
"Nothing, why did you go to the rooftop to smoke? Did someone at school report you again?"
Fujii Itsuki smiled and said, "No, on the contrary, after I came back, the Dean of Academic Affairs pulled me aside for a long talk, asking for a salary increase or a bonus or something like that."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
"Yes. It's a good thing."
"It's a good thing, why are you acting so weird?"
"."
Fujii Itsuki did not answer immediately, but turned to face the blue sky and feel the slightly fishy sea breeze blowing from Otaru Bay.
Akai Muzi had no idea what was going on, so she asked him again what happened.
Fujii Itsuki leaned his hands on the rooftop railing and just smiled at the blue sky.
Just by looking at his expression, Akai Muzi felt a deep sense of sadness.
"I just feel like I should leave."
"Leave? Where to go? Don't you have so many important things in Otaru—"
Akai Muzi was halfway through her words when she immediately understood where he was going from.
He wasn't saying he should leave the place himself.
He wanted to give up his identity as a teacher.
Akai Muzi felt complicated as she watched and listened.
Because this is what Ah Shu has been repeating in my ears in the past?
Keep repeating it.
Keep repeating it.
She even thought about becoming a teacher.
So after I came back from the United States, I chose to become an English teacher, and that’s what I am today.
"Because of Jiuhuayue and the others?"
“It’s easy, isn’t it?”
".You can keep it a secret until they graduate, and there won't be any problem."
Fujii Itsuki shook his head, "No."
".When do you plan to do that?"
"At least we have to wait until after the national competition."
"So what do you plan to do after you're here? What do you plan to do?"
"I don't know, but if everything goes well with Xinchun, I'll have to follow Matsumae's arrangement and give it a try first."
".Then, Shu, won't you be trapped in Songqian for the rest of your life?"
Fujii Itsuki turned around, leaned against the guardrail, and smiled, "It won't take forever. Just like what Xinchun's father told me, after becoming like him, except for some important things that need to be dealt with, the rest of the time is quite free."
Akai Muzi found it hard to imagine that Ashu had voluntarily given up being a teacher, and wanted to persuade him.
"But Shu, you are not——"
Fujii Itsuki waved his hands and looked up at the sky: "What's the big deal? There are many people in this world who are worse off than me and who have failed to achieve their dreams. Compared to them, I am already very happy."
"Ashu."
"Muzi, you don't need to say anything more or give me any advice. This is what I think, and I thought about it when I agreed to Xinchun and the others."
"."
"And Muzi, the reason I can still stay in school now is just because I'm thick-skinned, right?"
"."
Akai Muzi was speechless.
What suddenly came to my mind was the high school days when Fujii Itsuki always had a smile on his face and said confidently, "I want to be a teacher."
but now.
"It's okay, don't think too much about it. It's my own decision. I'll go to class first."
Fujii Itsuki reached out and patted Muzi's shoulder, smiled at her, bent down to pick up the cigarette butt at his feet and threw it into the trash can, then turned around and walked downstairs.
Akai Muzi watched him disappear from her sight step by step.
October.
The temperature in Otaru has been getting lower and lower since the beginning of the month, so September has to wear thicker socks.
She is not like those girls who grew up in Hokkaido. They can get by without wearing anything in Tokyo's weather, but not in Hokkaido.
For her, Hokkaido is not just cold, it’s freezing cold! She has no choice but to wear more clothes!
Today she felt that she was not wearing enough, so as soon as she arrived at the dessert shop, she asked the waiter for a cup of hot coffee.
