I practiced as a monk alone in Japan.

Chapter 300 Whose Water?
Some things you say are enough to cause misunderstandings, but some people are just impossible to misunderstand.

For Sakuraba Yuki, Tsukino Gen seemed to be such a person.

Those words that could make any girl's heart flutter, and that face that's unforgettable and makes your heart race.

That's precisely the reason I can't be moved.

Tsukino Gen seemed to know all the reasons, so he didn't put any more pressure on the woman, maintaining his nonchalant attitude and not even looking her in the eye.

It's as if my words were just a casual joke, meaning nothing at all.

Looking at the boy's face, Sakuraba Yuki could only take another big gulp of beer, and this time Tsukino Gen didn't bother to stop him.

It's just beer anyway, and it's the other person's house anyway. If you get drunk, you can just lie down on the bed, and nothing else will happen.

"Don't try that on me."

"Which one?"

Tsukino Gen looked amusedly at the mature woman with rosy cheeks. She was like a ripe peach, exuding a unique charm, as if you could smell that intoxicating scent with just a deep breath.

Just like when humans first discovered wine.

"That's exactly what they use against Kazama and the others."

Sakuraba Yuki didn't know what to say, but she thought, could he be mistaking her for one of those two girls? She shouldn't be the kind of person who would be fooled by sweet words.

I am very calm.

I am a teacher.

I have a strong moral compass and a clear sense of boundaries.
"It's as if you know what we're talking about."

"Isn't it just the kind of thing that happens between young couples? Why make it sound so hard to guess?"

Sakuraba Yuki said dismissively, as if she had a lot of experience.

Tsukino Gen couldn't help but laugh, "So, Sakuraba-sensei must have been in quite a few relationships, right?"

Sakuraba Yuki looked at Tsukino Gen, "We haven't talked about it."

"You make it sound so real."

"Is that hard to understand? They're all pretty much the same anyway, it's childish to death."

She drank her beer dismissively.

Perhaps saying it this way will make me feel much better.

After all, having no dating experience during one's youth seems like a real pity. If everyone is in a similar situation, then it's not a pity.

What makes something precious is its scarcity.

"I think as a teacher, you should show some respect for things you haven't experienced before; otherwise, you're being too arrogant, aren't you?"

Tsukino Gen said with a smile.

Sakuraba Yuki looked at the other person and said, "Respect or not doesn't really matter, does it? Anyway, I can't go back to that time and fall in love again, so it's better to keep it simple."

"That's true, but Sakuraba-sensei will also be in a relationship in the future, so we can't maintain this attitude, or we'll easily miss out."

"boom."

Sakuraba Yuki tapped Tsukino Gen on the head, then deliberately put on a stern face and said, "I'm your teacher, what right do you have to teach me these things?"

"You act like you're going crazy when you drink."

Gen Tsukino remarked with emotion.

"Isn't it because people want to go crazy but can't?"

Indeed, alcohol can unleash most of her true nature; well, it's just that she's usually been suppressing it too much.

"I have to be kind and approachable to students while also having a certain degree of authority, and I have to appear emotionally intelligent to my colleagues. As a young teacher, I also have to maintain respect for those unreliable seniors. You have no idea how tiring my life is."

After saying that, she put down the bottle, sighed deeply, and leaned back.

He lay half-reclined on the sofa without any warning.

This is her preferred pose to express freedom, and of course, it's perfectly fine when she's alone.

But now that Tsukino Gen was beside her, he could easily see the curves of the woman's figure. Especially with that exaggerated backward lean, some things were practically about to spill out.

It was as if they were trying to climb the ceiling.

Gen Tsukino can only try his best not to look at it. Well, although it's spectacular, it gets boring after a while, right?
"Clap!"

until.

One of the shirt buttons popped off due to the movement.

The strange sound caught Tsukino Gen's attention.

He stared in disbelief and saw the button flying in a beautiful arc through the air at the very top of the other man's chest. He reached out and the button landed in his hand.

It wasn't cold; it seemed to carry a unique lingering warmth.

But that's not the worst part; the woman in the shirt, because that one crucial button popped open, revealed even more.
There was no undershirt or vest underneath.

Instead, it features black silk patterns and lace trim.

"."

For a moment, the air was silent, but the temperature rose sharply.

Gen Tsukino watched as Yuki Sakuraba's already rosy face became even more vibrant, almost dripping with color, as if a little pressure would cause blood to drip down.

He turned his head away very consciously.

"Don't look!!"

"Mmm, I didn't see it."

"Ahhhh!"

Then, with a panicked scream and clutching her chest, she ran into the bedroom.

A fragrant breeze wafted through the room, and Tsukino Gen thought a typhoon had struck. Was there any need to panic like that?
Wasn't she so authoritative a moment ago? Now, how is she any different from those disdainful little girls in her eyes?

Ugh.

Looking at the button in his palm, Tsukino Gen placed it on the table and then took a sip of beer, feeling utterly bored.

Then what appeared in my mind was the milky white Xuezi wrapped in black lace.

I couldn't help but lower my head.

When Sakuraba Yuki reappeared in the living room, it was five minutes later. She had changed her clothes, wearing a more conservative long-sleeved T-shirt, the kind with a collar that almost covered her neck. Tsukino Gen wondered why it took her five minutes to change into a long-sleeved shirt.

Did you have it re-cut?

I suppose she needs to adjust her mindset about 'making a fool of herself' in front of students?
When she came back, her expression was indeed a little more normal, and it wasn't as bright red anymore.

It's just that I don't seem to know how to explain this matter; it seems that I can't help but feel emotional whenever it's mentioned.

Fortunately, Tsukino Gen is an understanding and emotionally intelligent boy who wouldn't embarrass his teacher at this moment.

"They should have drunk enough, right?"

He took the initiative to speak.

Sakuraba Yuki paused for a moment, then nodded subconsciously, "Uh, yeah, pretty much."

"Alright, I won't bother tidying up. I'll leave it to you, Sakuraba-sensei. It's getting late, so I'll head back now."

He stood up.

This time, when the boy proposed to leave, Sakuraba Yuki had no reason to refuse, nor did she want to persuade him to stay.

After all, such an embarrassing thing just happened. Anyone who didn't know better would think that a cunning older woman was seducing a handsome, innocent male high school student.

It will make me feel embarrassed for a long time when I think about it.

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to take it to heart. If he kept bringing this up, it would be difficult for me to maintain any dignity as a teacher in front of him.

"Okay, I understand. Then, be careful on your way."

"Ah."

He stood up cleanly and quickly disappeared through the doorway, closing the door behind him.

Soon, the entire newly moved-in room was filled only with the smell of alcohol and his lingering scent.

But without a substantial atmosphere to fill the empty room, it only makes this autumn night seem more ethereal and lonely.

He held the beer bottle, looking at the mess on the table.

I don't want to clean it up right now.

I don't want to explore this unfamiliar room for the time being.

What do you want to do?

She didn't know, she just kept drinking her beer and looking at the unfamiliar night view outside the window.

"I really have a knack for messing everything up."

Gen Tsukino went home.

I haven't gone anywhere else for the time being, and there's nothing urgent that I need to deal with.

Thinking about it, I'm still a homebody, and perhaps I have the instinct in my genes to be a good father and husband.

I can't help but laugh at myself for thinking about it.

"Bang bang bang."

"If no one's here, I'll just come in myself."

Then he took out his key and opened the door to Kiyono Mizuki's house.

After the door was opened, the lights shone through.

You can clearly see the girl with her hair cut short, struggling to walk towards the door with her cane.

He saw Tsukino Gen looking at him with a smile.

She tried hard to suppress the upward curve of her lips, and then deliberately kept a straight face.

"You opened my door again! I told you to give me the key, how could you do this to me!"

Tsukino Gen looked at the other person with amusement, "It's not the first time. To be honest, I really admire your acting skills. You can always make it seem like it's the first time we met."

"Get lost! You're speechless now, aren't you?"

The girl's cheeks immediately flushed. Everyone knew she was faking it, but how many jerks would be like this scoundrel who always saw through her act?

It's as if I need to tear off all the masks I'm wearing to reveal my most honest and helpless side.

They are truly wicked and malicious.

"Don't be so fierce. You've only been gone a few days and you start yelling at me right away. It's really hurtful."

Gen Tsukino said, feigning grievance.

Kiyono Mizuki scoffed, "You can get hurt?"

"Of course, I'm human too, and my heart aches too."

"Pah, I'm about to throw up. If you feel pain, you deserve it, since you always have ill intentions."

Although saying this.

However, his tone was noticeably softer.

Her stubbornness was obvious, but she was soft-hearted. She would usually soften up after only two rounds.

"No way, how could someone as kind as me be so seriously misunderstood by you? Did someone say something to you?"

"Tsukino Gen, are you planning to debut? Stop making assumptions about things that don't even exist!"

"Stop queuing my foot! After three days away, you're like a complete idiot."

The girl, who was using crutches, was moving much more smoothly than before, so Tsukino Gen didn't help her and sat down on the sofa himself.

He watched as the girl painstakingly retrieved her usual bottled water from the refrigerator and handed it to him.

Gen Tsukino blinked. "That's amazing. Should I pat your head as a reward?"

"Am I a dog? Drink your water and shut up."

The girl said, blushing.

Gen Tsukino shook his head seriously.

No, I drank your water.

".roll!"
