Tokyo: Let the wicked women pay the price!

Hanako withdrew her gaze.

It seemed as if he had withdrawn his gaze.

Fujino looked at her furtively.

Unlike her casual clothes when going to the doctor or shopping, Hanako is wearing a gray, high-end women's suit today.

She wore gold-rimmed glasses, her hair was styled in a bun, and her makeup was bold and resolute, giving her a cool and noble air.

She seems to be a kind and honest teacher.

He relaxed his guard a little.

It must be that my treatment was effective.

Hanako is basically able to work normally now, right?

That was close! Haha, maybe she didn't even notice.

You're scaring yourself.

......

Hanako, standing on the podium, cleared her throat: "Everyone... I called you all here today to talk about... the current state of our students."

She lost her composure.

She herself realized that her intermittent speech was not because she had a stutter.

It's really...

The fact that she could smell Fujino's scent in the classroom was irresistible to her.

Even if he was sitting in the corner of the classroom and she was standing on the podium... with just a gentle breath, one could smell the fresh scent of laundry detergent emanating from He Yanjun.

Hanako pursed her lips slightly, her face flushed with an unhealthy rosy hue.

Seeing Fujino in the classroom felt so strange and exciting.

It has a sense of immorality, like having an affair in public.

At least that's how she sees it.

Her crossed thighs under her skirt unconsciously rubbed together, even brushing against the corner of the table.

However, one's surname is Fujino, and the other's surname is Wakaba.

Are these two guys really related by blood?

How can a daughter not take her father's surname?

She didn't know the relationship between the two, but the thought that Wakaba Saki could live under the same roof as Fujino made Hanako insanely jealous.

I need to have a private talk with He Yanjun later!

Ah, being alone together, hehe.

Hanako cleared her throat and swallowed. "Everyone, today's topic will mainly be about mental health development..."

Looking at Hanako speaking eloquently on the podium, Fujino felt a little uncomfortable.

How could he have imagined that his patient would be Saki's teacher?

Tsk.

This woman knows my surname is Fujino.

In a daze, Fujino felt Saki nudge him and hand him a note.

"What are you looking at, Fujino-san? Have you taken a fancy to our Hanako-sensei?"

Fujino replied without hesitation:

"There is absolutely no possibility of it."

Saki glanced sideways at Fujino and pursed her lips.

A sense of satisfaction welled up inside me.

Satisfaction with this answer.

Suddenly, the balance was broken by Hanako's call on him.

"Mr. Kazuhiko, as a doctor, you must have some insights into the mental health development of students. Could you please share them with us?"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of the beautiful women talking could be heard in the classroom.

"Kazuhiko? Does the Wakaba family have someone named Kazuhiko?"

"You know what, he's quite handsome, and he doesn't look that old!"

"Doctor, wow, I've never experienced being a doctor before. It must feel amazing to be done in a white coat."

All the ladies' eyes were fixed on Fujino, except for Saki, who stared at her with wide eyes as if she were seeing Hanako for the first time.

Saki stretched out her finger, repeatedly selecting a target among herself, Fujino, and Hanako.

How did Ms. Hanako know that Mr. Fujino was a doctor?

Wait a minute! She called him He Yanjun!

Her lips moved, and she looked at Fujino, wanting an explanation, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

As Saki watched Fujino slowly rise and walk toward the podium, she instinctively reached out to grab the hem of his shirt.

As expected, we were a step too late.

Standing on the podium, Fujino bowed slightly to Hanako, then addressed the audience and began to speak eloquently.

"Ladies, I currently work as a medical student at the National Tokyo University Hospital and have some insights into mental health..."

"...Most of the pressure on teenagers comes from school entrance exams. But in Hinomori, the pressure may come more from the family..."

"...Since you are all members of high society, it is equally important to value your mental health..."

Hanako stood in a corner of the podium, watching the composed Fujino with her eyes shining.

A satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Such a wonderful man deserves to be loved by everyone—no, by me.

Right there in her classroom seat, Wakaba Saki listened to the exclamations of the wealthy women around her, and felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Once again, she felt that Fujino was getting further and further away from her.

It's becoming increasingly unreal.

How come there's a secret between him and Ms. Hanako?

She thought she was special, that she and Fujino had a bond that could be described as base and shameful, forcibly connected.

But now...

Is it really okay to rely on someone as dazzling as Fujino?

She's nothing but a pathetic creature who will be abandoned by her own father.

Saki had no idea how she listened to Fujino explaining psychological knowledge to everyone on the stage.

She just listened blankly to the thunderous applause, glancing at her phone indifferently.

[Lemon~: Saki-chan, look how dazzling Fujino-san is! Just like I told you, like the sun.]

She read the text message word by word, not noticing Fujino sitting next to her.

"How did it go?"

Saki was a little embarrassed; she didn't listen.

She simply moved slightly closer to the seat and gently tugged at the hem of Fujino's suit jacket.

She looked up at Fujino, the sun shining brightly behind him through the window, its rays so intense she couldn't see his neck clearly.

The parent-teacher meeting that followed was so boring that Saki lost interest, but she didn't let go of Fujino's clothes.

It's as if if she lets go, this man will become like her father—

Disappeared suddenly.

Fujino also felt embarrassed.

Parent-teacher meetings aren't like this!

The meeting should have started with the homeroom teacher lecturing for a long time, followed by a speech from the outstanding student representative, whose parent shared their parenting experience, and then the meeting should have ended!

Parents of average students like Saki-chan should pretend to be dead until the meeting ends, get a few words from the teacher, and then clock out.

Why was there a sudden speaking session?

This must all be part of Waka Hanako's conspiracy.

Moreover, it's as if Saki clearly caused trouble at school, and they're just trying to get him to take the blame...

There will most likely be a detention period.

He glanced down at Saki beside him. The girl simply tightened her grip on the hem of her dress, her head still bowed, and held his arm even tighter.

He sighed helplessly, looking at Hanako on the podium, whose smile was gradually losing control after seeing Saki holding his arm.

I feel like things are getting out of my control.

It seems that it's not as simple as just taking the blame for one's father and getting scolded.

These two women have probably shifted their focus from "Saki's father" to "Fujino Kazuhiko".

Soon, Fujino's wish was fulfilled.

Hanako waved to him: "Wakaba Saki and her parents, come out for a moment."

Fujino stood up and smiled at Saki: "Let's go. Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll get stabbed anyway, so don't hide."

Saki gave a silent, bitter smile.

She hugged Fujino's arm tightly.

She always felt that there was something wrong with the way Hanako-sensei looked at Fujino-san.
