Tokyo Love Story

Thank you for the reward from teacher who always speaks insincerely. Your support is my motivation for writing.

Then just briefly report the situation.

This volume is almost coming to an end, and this book is also about to be completed (approximately).

I may take a day off tomorrow or the day after tomorrow - of course, this is only if I have a serious writer's block, after all, I need to write the outline of a new volume.

Of course, if everything goes smoothly and there are no major writer's blockages, the update will proceed as usual, but the time... may be delayed (meaning it won't be released in time for 10am)

Well, see you tomorrow, everyone.

Chapter 338 His situation

As the bell rang to signal the end of the exam, Tsugumi Seina, who was standing on the podium, breathed a sigh of relief.

For her, watching her beloved students take exams is more stressful than taking the exams herself.

The order of invigilation for the exam at Shirakawa High School was disrupted this time.

Unlike in the past when sophomores were mixed with freshmen, in order to take care of the sophomores who are about to enter their senior year, and the seniors who do not need to take the final exam and only need to focus on the college entrance examination, the school only shuffled the order within each grade this time.

To put it simply, the most basic literal meaning is that the first year of high school is the first year of high school, and the second year of high school is the second year of high school.

But even so, there is no way to completely avoid the situation where every teacher who invigilates the exam does not have students from his or her class in the class.

For example, someone as lucky as Tsugumi Serina, there are a total of 30 candidates in the class she is invigilating, and eight of them are from Class A of Grade 1.

Based on this ratio, if there were a few more students, the class she was invigilating could probably be renamed Class A.

But joking aside, in reality, these eight students were all divided into the four corners and the middle of the classroom, and were strictly kept apart. It was physically impossible for them to whisper to each other. Moreover, based on the personalities of her own students that she was familiar with, they would not cheat in the exam even if they were close to their classmates.

Let's talk about what Kiriyama Taku used to tease everyone in class, but she happened to pass by and heard it.

——Before the exam, everyone asked those sitting around them whether they had reviewed. If they had reviewed, they would help their brothers (sisters) during the exam.

But what is the reality? Once the exam begins, no matter whether you claim to have reviewed or not, everyone just sits there and works hard. What about asking your friends for help? It's pure bullshit.

Tsuchiya Seina remembered clearly that when she heard these words, she almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

But, joking aside, it is indeed the fact.

For a united group, everyone will spontaneously and instinctively safeguard the collective interests and prevent individuals from bringing discredit to the group.

Looking at all the classes in the first year of high school, Class A is definitely the most united class in the entire first year of high school.

That's why she was so nervous about this exam.

It is true that a dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon, but the "dragon" also has two sides. As a teacher, she sincerely hopes that the students in her class will do better in exams like this.

But this exam was about mathematics. As a Chinese teacher, she could not guarantee her accuracy on the mathematics paper. Therefore, she had no idea whether this paper was difficult or not.

What's more, she herself knew that "difficulty" varies from person to person.

Whether it is for Miao or Rin, the word "difficult" probably does not exist.

"Rina-san, bye~"

A girl from Class A of Grade 1 packed her stationery, unpacked her schoolbag, raised her hand, and waved at Tsugumi Seina who was on the podium.

She chose liberal arts.

This means that after this exam, she will leave Class A and start the next semester.

Bye-Bye. "

After coming back to her senses, Tsugumi Seina looked at the girl, was silent for a moment, and finally raised her hand, revealing the same smile as before, and waved in response.

She knew that this girl would not be in Class A of Grade 1 next semester.

However, judging from his usual academic performance, if nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely be assigned to the best class B in liberal arts if he performs normally this time.

If we round it off, this girl is actually not that far from Class A.

After watching all the students in the classroom leave, Tsugumi Seina took a deep breath, lowered her eyebrows, and chuckled.

perhaps……

It's just like what the principal once said, people who are too sentimental can be good teachers, but at the same time, it will also be quite uncomfortable.

Before, she could only relatively understand this sentence, but now, she can be said to have a deep understanding of it.

Harm~

Tsugumi Seina raised her head and gently patted her delicate face twice.

This is not a matter of life or death, so there is nothing to be sad about.

What's more, I'm an adult, so there's no reason for me to be more "emotional" than everyone else in the class, right?

Ding dong~

The phone beeped and Tsugumi Seirina subconsciously took out her phone.

On the screen, there was a Line message sent from the small group of the Kitagawa family.

The sender was the Kitagawa family's chief chef, Ejima Tadashi.

[Tonight's ingredients are: curry chicken, stir-fried vegetables, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, sukiyaki pot, and roast beef. ]

Looking at this line of words, Tsugumi Seirina swallowed unconsciously.

She was not surprised at all that Ejima Tadashi, Kitazono Rin, and Kitagawa Tetsu left school early and returned home. After all, considering their speed in doing exams, it would be strange if they didn't hand in their papers in advance.

Even now, she had begun to be thankful that the three of them were so efficient.

Ah.

For no reason, her mood suddenly became cheerful.

After carefully considering the words, Tsugumi Serina typed out a line of words and replied.

【I'll be there soon.】

Bai Yuan's house, in the living room.

Bai Yuan Yamei glanced at the time on her mobile phone, then looked at the caller displayed on the screen. For a moment, she felt an indescribable subtle feeling.

Just two minutes ago, Kashiwamoto Shiori called. Her daughter said that after the final exam, she still planned to stay at Tsugumi Seina's house. As for this place, she might not come back in the near future.

When she was abroad before, she didn't have this strong sense of separation, but now that she has finally returned to China, this feeling has become even stronger.

To be honest, she really hoped that her daughter could go home and live there. At least, she could see her daughter every day.

Of course, this was just a thought in her mind. If she were really asked to do so, she knew she couldn't do it and would not do it.

After all, she could understand Shiori's thoughts very well. Firstly, Shiori was a grown-up girl now, and girls of this age would definitely prefer to be with people of the same age with whom they could talk and chat. Secondly, the one who is close to the water gets the moon first. From Shiori's point of view, it was impossible for her to give up such conditions.

However, even though I can understand it, I still feel a little lonely. I do feel a little lonely.

Ugh……

After sighing in her heart, Baiyuan Yamei opened the address book and called her husband.

Her original plan today was to wait for her daughter to come home, then drive to the company to pick up her husband, and then take the family out for dinner. Now it seems that this plan is likely to fail.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Yami?"

A male voice with a hint of doubt came from the receiver.

"Hmm~"

Baiyuan Yamei responded, sat back on the sofa, and rubbed her temples tiredly.

God knows why, the moment the call was connected, the helplessness she had felt before instantly turned into fatigue.

"what happened?"

On the other end of the phone, Bai Yuanchuan, sensing his wife's tiredness, put down the pen in his hand, and after closing the "Love Letter" in front of him, a look of concern appeared on his face.

Theoretically speaking, Yamei would not call me at this time. She knew she was working. She would only call me if she really encountered something she couldn't handle or something that gave her a headache.

However, judging from recent circumstances, he didn't think his wife would encounter any troubles.

"Shiori just called and said she still plans to stay at Rina's place this holiday."

Bai Yuan Yamei sighed deeply.

It was not until this moment that she truly felt that it was impossible to keep a girl when she grew up.

Hearing this, Bai Yuanchuan was silent for a moment, and keenly read his wife's subtext, "Shiori means that she won't be back in the short term?"

"Yes."

Baiyuan Yamei opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling of her home.

The crystal chandelier with European decoration style is reflected in those eyes that can always keenly see business opportunities in the mall.

Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to let her live with Rina."

Bai Yuanchuan pursed his lips, a trace of regret showing on his face.

To be fair, his daughter's living away from home is a way for her to develop independence in advance, and as a father, he is very pleased. However, as she has lived away from home for a long time, his thoughts have begun to change.

In fact, he is not that old, and his shoulders are broad enough to take good care of this young eagle that he has watched grow up little by little.

“I’m beginning to regret it.”

Baiyuan Yamei also sighed and echoed the words.

If possible, she hoped that Shiori would stay at home for at least half of her vacation.

This girl hasn't even started college yet, but she and Bai Yuanchuan have become the so-called old people left behind by the young people. How can this be acceptable!

"How about we make a phone call?" Bai Yuanchuan paused and added, "I mean I can make this call."

As a couple, when it comes to issues concerning their children, one person always has to play the good cop and the other the bad cop.

If both husband and wife are too tough or too soft, they will easily raise extreme children, who are either too cowardly or bullies, neither of which is good.

Even on the point of educating children, his mother had given him some specific advice.

According to the division of labor between the couple, in the past, Yamei would take the initiative to act as the "bad guy".

Because she had been abroad for a long time before, she and her daughter were closer. In this way, her daughter would not be timid in front of her, dare not ask for anything, and dare not tell her if she was wronged at school.

Now that Yamei's overseas affairs have been dealt with, she can take on the responsibility of playing the 'bad guy' herself.

As for whether his daughter would blame him, he had never thought about it.

There is always someone who has to be the 'bad guy' anyway, so why can't it be me?

Forget it." Kashiwagen Masami hesitated for a moment, and finally said this, "Shiori didn't do anything wrong, and children will eventually leave their parents when they grow up."

After venting her emotions with her husband, her mood calmed down.

"What are you saying?" Bai Yuanchuan shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "How old is Shiori this year? Is a girl of seventeen or eighteen considered a big child? In my eyes, she will always be the little kid who held my hand and told me that she didn't want to go to kindergarten."

"Kawa, Shiori will be a senior in high school after this semester. This time next year, she will be a college student." Kashiwagen Masami paused, with a hint of emotion in her eyes, "You can't let her go to college and have her go back and forth between home and college every day, right?"

“We’ll talk about the rest later!”

Bai Yuanchuan turned on the speakerphone mode of his cell phone and then closed the cap of his pen.

He actually knew that he was just saying unrealistic things on impulse, but what was wrong with being a little bit impulsive in front of his wife?

"Come on, Chuan." Baiyuan Yamei chuckled, "Instead of dwelling on this, or being unwilling to accept it, it is better to... Oh, by the way, there is something I am curious about."

"what's up?"

Bai Yuanchuan hesitated for half a second. He was used to his wife's changing topics.

However, he still didn't quite understand what the other party wanted to say at this time.

"How's Kitagawa's new book going?"

Baiyuan Yamei asked this question out of some curiosity.

During this period, she knew that Beichuan had published a new book, but she had trouble coordinating the time, so she didn't find a chance to read it herself. But she knew that her husband was reading that book.

So, instead of going to the trouble of looking up reviews online, it’s better to ask your husband directly.

What's more, when it comes to writing, my husband is much more professional.
