Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 515 Ai: Actually, I'm quite grateful to Vermouth, just a tiny bit!

"Hmm~"

At some point, Ms. Lin, who was lying on the hospital bed in the infirmary, opened her eyes, looked at the white ceiling, stretched, and let out a soft groan.

When she woke up, she felt refreshed all over. The side effects of the cold and fever had completely disappeared, and even her usual fatigue and backache had vanished.

It's truly amazing, a completely new body I've never experienced before.

She even suspected that what she was taking wasn't just cold medicine, but a panacea that could cure all diseases.

But how could that be? It's probably just psychological!

"Ms. Kobayashi, you're awake."

Ai closed the magazine, walked over, and sat on the bed next to Ms. Kobayashi.

"Ms. Haibara?" Ms. Kobayashi looked around. "Has Ms. Kitahara already gone back?"

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara handed over a mercury thermometer: "Taihara-sensei has already gone back. He even went to the classroom at noon to supervise the students eating their nutritious lunch."

"There are still twenty minutes before afternoon class. I was going to wake you up in five minutes, but you got up by yourself."

"Twenty minutes left?" Ms. Kobayashi took the mercury thermometer, unbuttoned her white shirt, and placed the thermometer under her armpit. "Thank goodness, thank goodness, we're not late, we still have time."

Hearing this, Ai Haibara sat down, somewhat surprised: "Actually, it's just one class, there's no need to push yourself so hard. You can make up for it later, for example, by having Kitahara-sensei take a sick day."

It's perfectly normal for a physical education teacher to take sick leave.

After all, in some places, there are basically no physical education classes starting from the second year of high school.

The physical education teacher is either on sick leave or on his way to do so.

“No way.” Ms. Kobayashi shook her head. “How could I possibly take over Mr. Kitahara’s class?”

Actually, this guy doesn't care at all. He'd love for someone to work for him so he can slack off and still get paid. He'd be thrilled.

However, Ai Haibara ultimately did not say these words aloud.

After all, Ms. Kobayashi is a serious person who wouldn't cheat, and she also likes to play with the children.

For example, after succeeding Kitahara Natsuhiro as his homeroom teacher, he also became an advisor to the Junior Detective League and sometimes even participated in their activities.

"Alright." Ai didn't continue. "You should be fine now, and you won't miss class this afternoon, but you should make sure you get some rest."

"The seasonal changes have been quite severe lately, so we need to be careful."

In the world of Detective Conan, the four seasons change at will.

This week may be summer, but next week could be winter or even spring.

Therefore, it is easy to catch a cold at this time, as was the case with Ms. Kobayashi, but this was also due to her fatigue.

If you get enough rest, this won't happen.

"I'll be careful, thank you, Ms. Haibara."

"Okay, you can give me the thermometer now."

"Thank you."

Ms. Kobayashi took out a thermometer and handed it to Ai. Ai glanced at it.

36.5°.

"Your temperature is normal. If you feel unwell anywhere, please go to the hospital or come here immediately."

"Okay, thank you so much for your help today, Ms. Haibara and Ms. Kitahara. I'm going to class now."

Ms. Kobayashi lifted the covers and got out of bed. After putting on her shoes, she bowed slightly to Ai.

Then he grabbed his suit jacket and left the infirmary.

After Ms. Kobayashi left, Ai was left alone in the infirmary again.

"Sigh, I'm all alone again. It's a bit boring. I'll go check out what the kids are doing in PE class!"

As she spoke, she put her hands in her pockets, took a sign from the table, left the infirmary, and hung the sign on the doorknob as she went.

I'm not available right now. Call me if you need anything.

It also included a phone number.

However, this phone number is her work number; the other number is her personal number.

Work is work, and private life is private life; these two should be kept separate.

After all, she didn't want to be harassed by anyone other than Kitahara Natsuyu on her days off.

Ding-ling-ling
Ding-ling-ling
Soon.

The afternoon class bell rang, and Kitahara Natsuhiro led the students of Class A to the playground.

As expected, Kitahara Natsuhiro immediately had them start running exercises, and everyone was made to run two laps to warm up.

Kitahara Natsuyu watched the students running laps, then turned his gaze to the leisurely girl in the white coat beside him: "What brings you here?"

"Has Ms. Kobayashi already gone to class?"

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara stood next to Kitahara Natsuyu with her hands in her pockets and teased, "You really don't have any feelings for Kobayashi-sensei at all?"

Kitahara Natsuyu rolled her eyes at her: "Not at all. Although she is a beauty, she is too serious about her work. Women like that are too troublesome."

Ms. Kobayashi has a somewhat rigid personality and takes things too seriously. Getting involved with a woman like her can easily cause you a headache.

Besides, there are so many women out there, and he's not lacking in women like Ms. Kobayashi, so he really doesn't have any feelings for Ms. Kobayashi; on the contrary, he admires her.

After all, he is a good teacher.

"So you can be afraid of trouble too, huh?" Ai laughed. "Then why did you get involved with this woman, Vermouth, in the first place?"

"Because it's exciting!"

"."

Upon hearing this, Ai couldn't help but cover her cheek and mutter to herself.
really!

Actually, she had thought of this before, and it turns out that Kitahara Natsuhiro's idea was really that simple and unpretentious!

It seems she knows this man very well.

"Judging from your expression, you must have guessed what I was thinking." Kitahara Natsuyu laughed and patted her shoulder, saying, "You truly are my woman."

Ai rolled her eyes and gracefully took two steps to the side, distancing herself from the guy.

"Oh, by the way, Sonoko told me at noon that I can audition at the Domoto Concert Hall tomorrow. Do you want to come along?"

"A trial lesson?"

"A duet between Kawabe Kanade and Akiba Reiko?" Ai asked, turning her head.

The news has been reporting this for the past two days: a violinist and a soprano will collaborate for a joint performance at the Domoto Concert Hall.

Both of them are graduates of the Domoto Concert Hall, with Akiba Reiko being a graduate of Teitan Elementary School in Beika Town, the center of the universe.

“Yes, but only insiders can go in to listen. However, since the Sonoko family is the funder of the Domoto Concert Hall and the Domoto Music Academy, we can go together too.”

"The chorus is quite good. Let's go listen to it first, and then listen to their chorus in a few days."

"But what if something goes wrong?" Ai asked.

Because recently, Akiba Reiko was followed by the director of the Domoto Concert Hall, who attempted to harm her, but in the end, no evidence was found and there was nothing that could be done to him.

This also made the scribes and craftsmen more cautious, and they did not reveal any flaws.

"Don't worry, with me here, there won't be any problems," Kitahara Natsumi said with a smile.

Humans are no match for him.

Moreover, Pu Hejiang really has something wrong with his head.

For his own plans, he used a bomb to severely injure Kawabe Kanade, who possessed perfect pitch, and even planned to destroy the entire hall.

They really have something wrong with their brain.

However, in a world like the world of Detective Conan, such people are normal, while normal people are outcasts who don't fit in.

It's safe to say it's very much in line with the science of science!
"I'm relieved to hear you say that," Xiao Ai smiled. Meanwhile, the students who had been running laps had returned, most of them panting heavily, while some lagged behind, needing to sprint a hundred or two meters more.

"Hurry up, hurry up, you're too slow!" Kitahara Natsuyu shouted at the last few students.

Upon hearing the sound, they gritted their teeth and rushed over.

Back here, I rested my hands on my knees, feeling utterly exhausted.

"Alright, class monitor and sports committee member, go to the equipment room and get the jump rope. We're going to jump rope today."

"Yes, Kitahara-sensei."

The experience committee member responded to the class monitor and walked towards the equipment room.

"Ms. Haibara, could you help me with the girls' side later?"

Hearing this, Ai said irritably, "You really do know how to order people around."

"Since I'm just idling around anyway, doing some work will make the time pass faster."

"understood."

Ai rolled her eyes and clapped her hands twice: "Come on, girl, come with me."

"it is good."

The girls gathered around where Ai was and started chattering.

"Ms. Haibara, your skin is so nice."

"So, what kind of cosmetics do you use?"

"Will I be as pretty as my teacher when I grow up?"

When Ai heard these questions, she immediately felt overwhelmed.

No, elementary school students these days are so precocious! They're only seven years old and they're already thinking about the future.

Besides, what do kids need cosmetics for? All-natural products are fine.

“You don’t need cosmetics now, just stay as you are. Even if you need to pay for it, we’ll wait until you’re in high school.”

"But the teacher didn't use any makeup, this is my bare face."

At this point, Ai looked smug.

In the past, she would have needed some cosmetics and skincare products.

After all, working illegally in a criminal organization often involves staying up late or even all night, and even someone as young as me can't withstand it all; my skin has deteriorated a lot.

However, after being 'released from prison,' she was liberated, and with the help of Kitahara Natsuyu, she underwent a complete transformation.

Now I don't need any cosmetics when I go out. At most I'll wear a little light makeup, and I'll put on a face mask before bed, or I don't even need to put on a face mask.

So now, she usually doesn't wear makeup to work. She just washes her face and goes out. Her skin is still fair, smooth, and delicate.

"Huh? Really? My mom lingers at her vanity for ages before leaving the house every day."

My mom too.

My mom too.

"By the way, Ai-sensei, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Of course there are, after all, the teacher is so beautiful."

"Who is it? He must be a very handsome guy."

"."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuhiro's lips twitched involuntarily.

Sure enough, these were the kinds of questions the girls were talking about, even the first-graders.

"Ahem." Kitahara Natsuhiro coughed lightly.

Hearing this voice from not far away, Ai also became serious.

She realized that she had been led astray by these kids and couldn't continue the conversation.

"Alright, everyone get ready, stop chatting."

"Yes"

The young girls weren't particularly interested in skipping rope, but they were very interested in talking about cosmetics, clothes, and boyfriends.

A short while later, the class monitor and the sports committee member came over with jump ropes.

"Come over one by one in an orderly fashion to get your jump ropes."

"Boys, do 130 jumps per minute, girls, do 110 jumps per minute. Do five sets in total. If you fail more than three times, you'll have to copy the school rules tonight. You have three minutes to adjust your ropes."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the students in the class immediately became alert.

After all, they had all heard about Conan Edogawa's exploits in Class B. He had copied the school rules dozens of times, to the point that he was practically going crazy.

Moreover, they also knew that Teitan Elementary School's rules were incredibly long and tedious, and if they were to actually copy them, they wouldn't be able to sleep all night.

So they really need to work hard.

However, passing three out of five times is still quite easy.

The problem is not big.

"First batch, in preparation"

"Shhhh!"

Three minutes passed quickly. Kitahara Natsuhiro and Ai each took a whistle and started blowing it, then looked at the timer in their hands.

Whoosh whoosh.
The students on the playground swung their arms and jumped slightly, sending the rope flying!
Before long, the first group of five people had finished, and the other students in the class had also finished counting for them.

Perhaps because they were copying school rules, they all danced very seriously and without exception completed the task.

This is normal, though. Rope skipping is one of the simplest sports. As long as you control the range of your arms and the timing of your jump, it is very easy.

After all, it's not a competition, so you don't need to jump very fast. You just need to complete the task within the allotted time.

"Very good, next group."

Soon, everyone completed the jump rope test, but some people still failed.

“The next group should keep up the good work. After all, you don’t want to have to do homework and copy the school rules of Teitan Elementary School when you get home tonight, right?” Kitahara Natsuyu said quietly.

Upon hearing this, those who failed the first time trembled, their faces filled with fighting spirit.

"Good, very good, you all did a great job, but some students still didn't finish. I won't punish you this time."

"But you need to practice more when you get home. I'll be checking on you next week."

"There are still twenty minutes left before get out of class ends. You are free to do whatever you want."

"Yes!"

The next second, the students scattered and left arm in arm.

Some people even asked Kitahara Natsuhiro for the key to the equipment room so they could kick a soccer ball.

After dealing with these matters, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Haibara Ai stood aside, watching the students playing around.

Seeing them like this makes me feel a bit emotional.

"Feeling sentimental? Feeling sentimental about what?" Kitahara Natsuhiro asked.

"I've never played, run, or been tortured by a devilish teacher like you before!"

Kitahara Natsuyu crossed his arms and said, "Where am I a devil? Don't slander me."

"So seeing them like this, I feel very emotional."

"You know what, I'm actually a little grateful to Vermouth, just a tiny bit!"
