"Did you take another day off...?"

Chapter 420 It would be better to kill him.

Natsune Haze hasn't been to school for a week.

Shi Chen originally thought that something had happened to her, but when he saw her again, she seemed normal.

"Xia Yin, come with me."

After announcing that everyone was free to do as they pleased, Shichen called Natsune Yase away alone.

"Teacher Shi?" Natsumi Yase followed Shi Chen with a puzzled look.

"What's wrong with Shichen?" Aurora asked, puzzled, as she hadn't caught up.

"I don't know." Xiao Wu shook her head.

"They probably want to inquire about Xia Yin's situation, since she hasn't been here for a week," Akinagi said.

"By the way, does Xia Yin have any special relationship with Shi Chen?" Aurora couldn't help but ask.

"I'm not sure either, but it seems that Xia Yin knew Teacher Shi even before I did."

"Is it......"

Shichen brought Yese Xiayin to the office. At this time, there were no other teachers present.

"Sit over there, that's my seat. I'll get you a drink, or would you like some ice cream?"

"No......"

"Why are you being so polite with me? It's only been a week, and you seem so unfamiliar?" Shichen turned around and looked at Yese Xiayin's gentle face.

"No... okay, I want strawberry ice cream," Natsumi Yase said softly.

"That's pretty much it."

Shichen quickly returned with two ice creams, handed one to Yese Xiayin, and then sat down opposite her.

He prepared all the ice cream. After all, an office isn't like a classroom, so it's not a problem to keep some electrical appliances there. The main issue was that Aurora and the others wanted to eat it, but it wasn't convenient to buy it.

"Have a taste."

"Um......"

Natsumi Yase turned her gaze away from Toki and began unpacking the bags.

A cool breeze wafted over her, seemingly mixed with the scent of strawberries. Natsumi Yase couldn't help but swallow, then stuck out her pink tongue and licked it.

The coolness instantly traveled from the tip of my tongue to my heart, and the heat subsided considerably.

"Not bad, right?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.

"Hmm..." Natsumi Yase smiled gently, her eyes crinkling.

"Then eat slowly, there will be more when you finish."

"No need, that's enough. Teacher Shi, why did you call me here...?"

"What did you call me?" Shi Chen asked, feigning displeasure.

"B-Big brother," Natsumi Yase corrected her address.

"Don't worry about others, call me whatever you want, otherwise I'll think you're going to distance yourself from me."

"No, no! I didn't mean to distance myself from you, big brother. It's just that it's not nice not to call you teacher..." Natsumi Yase quickly explained.

"So what? I like listening to it."

"Okay, I understand." Natsumi Yase nodded, a smile playing on her lips.

"Finish your ice cream first, I'll ask you later, it's nothing important."

"it is good."

Shichen quickly finished her ice cream, but Yase Natsune, who had been eating in small bites, had cream stuck to her lips after a while.

Watching her lick her lips clean, Shi Chen asked, "Why haven't you come to school these past few days? Is something wrong? Are you sick?"

"Thank you for your concern, big brother, but there's just something going on at home," Natsumi Yase replied softly, her gentle face showing no sign of distress.

"Is there something going on at home?"

"No, don't worry, big brother, it's nothing."

"Really? Wasn't it your adoptive father who wanted to do something to you?" Shi Chen couldn't help but press.

“Father? No, he’s not here.” Natsumi Yase shook her head with a smile.

"Xia Yin, you're not lying to me, are you? You're not even telling me the same thing?" Shi Chen frowned.

"Really, no, my father is very good to me." Natsumi Yase continued to shake her head.

"so......"

Natsune Yase is not a liar. Either her adoptive father really hasn't done anything to her, or she mistakenly believes that her adoptive father is indeed doing it for her own good.

But right now, Natsune Yase's body is indeed perfectly fine.

"Big brother, don't worry about me, I'll protect myself." Ye Se Xia Yin suddenly reached out and held Shi Chen's hand, comforting him.

Her hands were small and delicate, and still a little cool because she had just eaten ice cream.

"Since you put it that way, I'll trust you. But if you ever find yourself being forced to do anything or unwilling to do something, be sure to tell me, and I'll help you." Shi Chen said, stroking her soft silver hair with his other hand.

"Yes, I will definitely ask my big brother for help." Natsumi Yase smiled and squinted her eyes.

"That's fine."

"But why does my older brother think that Father did something bad to me?"

"Well, it's because I know your adoptive father."

"Eh? Is that so?"

"Yeah, he's a bit extreme and tends to get stuck on things, so I'm worried about you."

"Don't worry, big brother, Father treats me very well."

"Um......"

Of course, Shichen didn't believe it, but since Yese Natsune had said so, given her personality, unless something clearly harmed her, she would definitely continue to believe her adoptive father.

We still can't rush things.

For the next period of time, life was peaceful. Natsumi Yase came to school every day, and Shiki often went with her to see Shiro and the others.

Vertiana stayed behind the mountain to help look after Little White, and Shichen almost forgot about her.

The hottest month of August will soon be over, and September will arrive.

Caihai Academy is going to start holding ball games competitions, including badminton, tennis, table tennis, and basketball. The students will be busy enough.

Thankfully, the teachers don't have to participate. Playing ball in this weather, no matter what kind of ball it is, would be unbearably hot.

"Itogami Island has been a bit unsettled lately."

During dinner, before Shichen had even taken a bite, Nangong Nayue suddenly spoke up.

"What's wrong?" Shi Chen took a bite of rice and looked at her.

"It seems to be related to the Black Death Emperor's faction. Those remnants have come to Itogami Island to cause trouble," Nangong Nayue replied nonchalantly.

"The Black Death Emperor's faction? What are they planning to do?" Himeragi Yukina asked, puzzled.

She had completely come to treat Shi Chen's house as her own, and would come over to eat with him at every meal. Since it was Shi Chen who invited her, it also made it convenient for her to keep a close watch on him.

"How would I know? You're being very stubborn."

"No wonder you've been so busy lately," Shi Chen said knowingly.

Recently, Teacher Nangong Nayue has been coming home very late, and Xiaowu is already itching to be taken advantage of by him.

"What? Shouldn't you be happy that I'm busy?" Nangong Nayue glanced at him.

"How could that be? I want to be with Nagatsuki every single day."

"Really? I think you're planning to take advantage of Aurora and the others while I'm not home, aren't you?"

"How can that be..."

"Is that so?" Aurora looked over excitedly.

"Huh—Teacher Shi, it's you?" Himeragi Yukina looked at him in surprise and embarrassment.

"Yukina, come to my house more often and help me keep an eye on him," Nangong Nayue said.

This is also why she allows Himeragi Yukina to come over every day.

"Yes!" Himeragi Yukina immediately agreed.

"..." Shi Chen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Xiaowu lowered her head and bit her lip. This Himeragi Yukina is really annoying.

"Oh right, you might not have a chance either. A snake charmer is coming, and he'll probably be looking for you," Nangong Nayue said, remembering something.

"A snake charmer?"

The next day, on his way to school, Shi Chen realized who Nangong Nayue was talking about.

At Itogami Port, a luxurious ship I'd never seen before was moored.

"What's that?" Asagi Aoi followed his gaze and noticed it as well.

She started coming to Toki's house every day last week to wait for him to go to school together. Naturally, she also learned that Himeragi Yukina lived across the street from Toki's house.

This made her even more determined, and she even considered moving in.

"I've never seen a ship like this before. It looks like a noble's ship."

“Indeed…” Shi Chen’s expression was indescribable.

"Teacher?" Himeragi Yukina looked at him in confusion.

"It's okay, let's go." Shi Chen shook his head and continued walking towards the school.
