Tokyo: My Girlfriend

Will a girl develop stronger feelings for a man just because she gave him her virginity?

Yes, it will.

Even those promiscuous guys, those who have dated dozens of people of the opposite sex and think they don't care about relationships at all, will never forget who they gave their first time to.

They even fantasized that if this man truly loved them, they would spend their lives with him.

Of course, a first time given away casually often only results in a casual relationship.

If this applies to those who are promiscuous, it's even more true for those who are innocent.

During English class, Akemi Aoki propped her chin up with one hand, glancing out of the corner of her eye at Shinichi Kitagawa, who was listening attentively to the lesson beside her.

Akemi Aoki observed and scrutinized the way he looked at Hina-sensei without moving.

She felt both jealous and disgusted by that look in his eyes.

Although Shinichi Kitagawa's feelings for Akemi Aoki remained unchanged, Akemi Aoki knew that Akemi was becoming increasingly concerned about Shinichi Kitagawa, and even feelings of jealousy, which had never appeared before, were gradually beginning to grow.

"Teacher Hina, are you busy right now?"

On Thursday, Haruna was grading exam papers in her office when she looked up at the muscular middle-aged man at the door. He was the new physical education teacher and seemed to need her help: "What's wrong? I still have a few tasks to complete."

The PE teacher smiled sheepishly, "Oh, I guess there's no time then."

"You go first."

"The director asked me to ask a teacher to help me take inventory of the items in the sports storage room, but I haven't been at this school for long and I don't know any teachers. Everyone seems to be very busy, so if you're busy too, then forget it."

Haruhi Hina was well aware that new teachers often faced many difficulties at the school. Although she was also a new teacher, she had worked in Tokyo for a period of time before.

Haruhi Hina smiled and said, "Then I'll go with you after I finish my work. I'm not in a rush."

"Really?" The PE teacher was both surprised and grateful. "Thank you so much!"

Following the PE teacher to the sports storage room, Haruhi Haruna held a statistics sheet in her hand and recorded the statistics with the other party.

The PE teacher was very embarrassed: "Ms. Haruna is such a kind person, beautiful and kind-hearted! If you need any help in the future, just let me know anytime."

Haruhi Hina wrote something: "It's just a small favor anyway, don't worry about it, we're all colleagues."

"Is Hina-sensei married? You look quite young."

Colleagues occasionally chat like this, and it's not just one person asking; however, Haruhi Hina always gives the same answer, regardless of the other person's motives: "Not yet, but I have a boyfriend."

"Oh? Really? Then that person must be very handsome! Is he on our side?"

Haruhi thought of Shinichi Kitagawa and casually said, "He's in Tokyo. I occasionally go to Tokyo to see him. We've been together for over three years."

"I see!" The phone rang suddenly. The PE teacher saw that it was the director calling again. After answering, he exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? We still need to take statistics on those warehouses over there? But I've only just started here."

A voice came through the phone: "Didn't I tell you to find someone to help? You can just do the counting separately. Please make sure to hand it in before school ends."

The PE teacher swallowed hard, feeling even more guilty towards those around him: "That's true, but..."

The phone call was unilaterally ended after a few words, and the PE teacher bowed deeply.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Hina! I'll probably have to let you do the inventory of the warehouses yourself. I asked you to come and help, but I ended up leaving you here alone! But the manager asked me to finish the inventory of all the warehouses this afternoon, and I really can't manage if we work together."

Haruhi Hina exclaimed "Ah!" and waved her hand awkwardly, "It's okay, it's okay. You can go to the statistics section then. I can handle this warehouse myself."

"I'm so sorry!"

Haruhi Hina smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about me. I'll put the statistics sheet on your desk after I finish compiling them here."

"Thank you so much! I'm extremely grateful! Please let me know if you ever need any help in the future!" With that, she hurriedly left to get back to work.

Haruna was only there to help, but now, looking at the enormous sports warehouse all by herself, she felt a little ashamed. No wonder her colleagues weren't willing to help each other out; if this kind of thing happened too often, it would definitely wear down everyone's patience.

With no one else around, she pouted and spoke her true feelings: "How long will it take to tally this up by just one person? It looks like it'll take at least another half hour."

They carefully inventoried the items in the warehouse, meticulously writing down the quantity and category. After some time, the warehouse door was suddenly opened slightly.

Haruhi Hina looked behind her and saw that several students had come to pick up their things.

When everyone saw Haruhi Hina, they greeted her, and Haruhi Hina responded with a smile. However, after she finished speaking, she was surprised to see that someone else was also there.

Shinichi Kitagawa was also surprised. He looked at Hina Kasuga and they smiled at each other.

After everyone else left, he stayed behind and went over: "Isn't Ms. Hina an English teacher? Why is she taking inventory in the sports storage room?"

Haruhi Hina looked at Kitagawa Shinichi, her eyes softening considerably when they were alone together. She briefly explained the situation: "I just came to help out, but I was unexpectedly left here by someone..."

After learning what had happened, Shinichi Kitagawa replied, "I see. I meant well and tried to help, but ended up doing it all by myself?"

Haruhi Hina bit her lip: "There's nothing we can do about it. The PE teacher didn't do it on purpose. Besides, we'll be done counting in about ten minutes."

Since those words were spoken on the back mountain, Kitagawa Shinichi and Kasuga Hina's relationship has indeed improved a lot when they occasionally bump into each other over the past week, and they even greet each other like friends.

Shinichi Kitagawa could see that Hina's complexion had improved somewhat in the past few days. Although it was still not as good as before, it was at least showing signs of improvement.

Shinichi Kitagawa held out his hand: "Give me a few too. Anyway, I don't have much to do during these two PE periods, so I might as well help the teacher. But I'm a little curious, with Ms. Teruharu's personality, will she often suffer in similar situations?"

Upon hearing this, Haruhi Hina quickly explained, her tone unconsciously pouting, "No way, I only helped the PE teacher because he's new. I don't help with everything, okay? I don't have that much time to help others!"

Shinichi Kitagawa breathed a sigh of relief and pulled out the statistical sheets the other person was holding: "Is that so? That's fine then. I was mainly worried that the teacher would be taken advantage of."

Haruhi Hina's cheeks flushed slightly as she continued tallying the numbers, muttering under her breath:

"Do you think I'm that stupid? I'm someone who's been through the mill in university; I know what I should and shouldn't do." She wrote, "I'm not a child anymore; the teacher is even a few years older than Xin Yi."

Shinichi Kitagawa neither confirmed nor denied this statement: "Indeed, the teacher is an adult, and everything he does is carefully considered."

Haruhi Hina sensed a hidden meaning in his words, and her expression froze.

Shinichi Kitagawa asked, "Has your stomach still been hurting lately?"

Haruhi Hina was surprised that he knew, and her heart raced: "I'm alright... no, I should say I'm much better. How did you know?"

"I'm guessing, mainly because Ms. Hina hasn't looked well lately." This was done without revealing that it was Kyoko Tamura.

Haruhi Hina watched him work with her peach blossom eyes, then gently bit her lower lip.

With help, we achieved twice the result with half the effort, and finished compiling the remaining information in just a few minutes.

Shinichi Kitagawa handed the statistics sheet back to the other person: "Shall I leave now?"

Haruhi Hina took the order: "Thank you..."

"fine."

Seeing him turn to leave, Haruhi Hina hesitated for a moment, but then said, "How about... the teacher treats Shin-chan to dinner tonight? Thank you for your help."

Shinichi Kitagawa turned around unexpectedly and laughed out loud for no reason: "Is helping with the statistics considered helping?" He paused for a moment and continued: "I'd better not. I'm going to Tokyo with Akemi for a performance this weekend, and I'll be busy accompanying her to singing practice in the evening. Besides, it's strange for a student to have dinner alone with their teacher."

Haruhi Hina smiled, her voice becoming very soft: "That's true..."

"I'm leaving, Hina-sensei."

"Bye-Bye.."

Watching Kitagawa Shinichi walk away, Haruhi Hina's slender fingers gripped the statistics sheet tightly in her hand.

This is exactly the result I wanted, and Xin Yi hasn't been so cold to me these past few days, but I still feel really uneasy...

I was still hoping he could be a little more affectionate towards me.
