Azure Files, the starting point of all miracles

"Perhaps—because I just happened to bring this up?"

"Although the teacher doesn't have that kind of hobby, he still has his own favorite style."

Noah said this, raised his head slightly, and said with a pointed attitude: "For example, a literary girl with long silver hair, a delicate mind, good at recording, and who plays pranks from time to time?"

"Noah, you are deliberately trying to induce the teacher to speak!" Yuka looked at her best friend with an expression of disbelief.

At this moment, Xiao Shi came over again.

"No, Senior Noah, I think the one the teacher likes should be a perfect, exclusive special agent maid with long golden hair who can drive a mecha."

After saying that, Xiao Shi raised his index finger and middle finger at the right time and made a "V" gesture.

"peace~peace~"

"Shi Xiao, this isn't even induction, it's already an explicit hint." Yuka complained speechlessly.

"You're right, little girl, it's better for girls to be more reserved."

Himari's voice followed from the front: "For example, the person the teacher likes must be a genius beautiful girl who stands like a peony, sits like a peony, and breathes like a lily~"

Yuka: “…”

Himari-senpai, are you qualified to say hours?

Yuuka covered her cheeks with her hands.

Okay...very good.

This is how they all play, right?

As a gleam of light flashed in the girl's eyes, Youxiang forced herself to suppress the shyness in her heart, raised her head and stared at Xiyu with her watery eyes.

"Teacher, the girl you like must have purple hair, be good at mental arithmetic, and be a good housekeeper, right?"

Xiyu: “…”

At this moment, Xiyu was stared at by the four girls with "wolf-like and tiger-like" eyes. This invisible sense of oppression made him subconsciously take a step back.

After a while, he weakly raised his hand.

"Well, this involves my personal privacy, so can I not answer it?"

"Of course~"

Noah smiled slightly and said nonchalantly: "However, Teacher Xiyu, I think you don't want the rumor that you like being scolded by girls to spread throughout Kivotos~"

Himari also echoed, "After all, Xialai's network is a very vulnerable place. It can be hacked by hackers and cause information leakage. There is nothing we can do about it~"

Xiyu: “…”

Noah! Hiru!

You guys are really mean now!

Chapter 23: What was the teacher’s past like?

"Teacher~~~"

Wow wow wow wow!!!

Looking at the four girls in front of him, Xiyu broke out in a cold sweat at this moment.

Who is this expert?

The anxious eyes, the oppressive smile, and the exquisite figure.

You can tell at first glance that he is the best among the students!

For Xiyu, facing four students like this is more terrifying than having to face 100,000 Mr. Thunder Paimon alone!

How to do?

What should I do?

Calm down! Yes, first of all, calm down!

Take a deep breath and count the prime numbers…

Just as Xiyu was silently adjusting herself, Noah's gentle voice came again: "Teacher, don't think about running away~"

"Everyone is waiting for your response now~"

"As an adult and our teacher, you will not let us students down, right?"

"Noah is right, teacher. It's lame to keep avoiding it."

As soon as Noah finished speaking, Yuka also took up her words.

Seeing the faint smirk on the girl's face, Xiyu suddenly cried out in sorrow in her heart: Yuuka! How could you be assimilated by Noah? !

"Today - my hands are shaking ~ Today, my heart aches!"

"Yes, yes, teacher. So, what's the answer?"

"..."

At this moment, there is no way to retreat.

In that case, we have no choice but to face it head-on.

Xi Yu thought so, took a deep breath, and slowly said: "The girl I like is the kind of-"

"A gentle, virtuous, thoughtful, wise, and flawless girl."

Yuuka & Noah & Himari & Xiaoshi: "..."

After hearing the teacher's answer, the four of them were stunned at first, and then they all showed subtle expressions at the same time.

Especially Noah, whose delicate face showed regret that was hard to conceal: "I didn't expect you would choose this answer~"

"As expected of a teacher, you are really despicable as an adult."

But, this is also good——

As this thought came to his mind, Noah began to process the ingredients in front of him again.

*This answer may seem perfunctory, but to some extent it also shows that the teacher treats us all equally.

Not only Noah, but Hiru also had similar thoughts in her mind.

*Whatever, if you keep pressing forward, you will end up being at a disadvantage.

*Let’s let Teacher Xiyu go this time~

Xiaoshi and Yuka also returned to their respective seats. Judging from their expressions, they obviously had their own little thoughts.

The budding emotions of an adolescent girl are green and beautiful.

As time goes by, they will eventually bear sweet fruits.

What Xiyu has to do is to be a responsible gardener and protect them carefully until that day comes.

-

When the five people returned to their respective jobs, the stagnant progress in the kitchen was able to move forward again.

After all the ingredients have been processed, it is Xiyu's turn to show her skills.

The ingredients in the huge iron pot surged like a river or sea as he moved; the rising flames spewed out fragrant breath like a flaming dragon, which amazed the girls watching on the side.

"It smells so good..."

"The teacher's craftsmanship is really amazing."

Noah and Yuka exclaimed at the same time.

"Yeah, that's why I told you to stay and have dinner with me~"

Xiyu responded while shaking the big pot in her hand: "Although it has been a long time since the last time I cooked, my cooking skills should not have deteriorated."

"It's not too late to have a meal like this now~"

Noah said with a grin.

"Not only is he good at commanding operations and possessing extraordinary abilities, but he also has amazing life skills."

"Most importantly, he is a gentle and kind person."

As Noah spoke, he glanced at Yuka beside him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Teacher, excuse me, what is your past like?"

"My past..."

When mentioning the word "past", Xiyu's eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia.

"If I were to bring this up, I'd probably have to give a long speech to finish it."

"Teacher, if it's inconvenient--"

"It's not inconvenient. Once everything here is over, we can talk slowly over the dinner table."

As Xiyu spoke, she poured the dishes out of the iron pot and put them on plates one by one, then turned around and gave the four girls a gentle smile.

"It just so happens that the luggage I asked you to pack also contains a lot of things that record stories from the past."

"Really? Is that okay?"

Facing Youxiang's somewhat timid gaze, Xiyu gave her the most affirmative answer.

"Of course."

"For a teacher, it is the highest compliment that his students are willing to get to know him."

teacher……

Recalling what Xiyu had said to her before, Youxiang suddenly felt sweet inside, as if she had drunk honey from a fairy tale.

"Yuuka, could you please help me take this pot of food out?"

"Well~ leave it to me."

"Teacher, and me."

"Of course, thank you for your help, Xiaoshi~"

The two girls left the kitchen one after the other, each carrying two pots of dishes.

Xiyu naturally did not forget someone, and she picked up a pot of food and handed it to Noah.

"And there's cute little Noah~"

As he spoke, he gently scraped Noah's nose with his clean fingers: "Can I trouble you?"

"teacher……"

Looking at the teacher in front of him who seemed to be smiling, Noah pondered for a moment and then smiled helplessly.

"Of course."

*It’s true, nothing can be hidden from your eyes...

"Thank you~"

*Of course, you are also my important student, so of course I will always keep an eye on you.

After a brief eye contact, the two of them already understood each other tacitly.

After Noah left, Xiyu took off her apron and made sure that there was no stain on her body before coming to Riju.

And Himari opened her arms towards him at the right time.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, teacher~"

According to what Himari said earlier, her high-tech wheelchair broke down after arriving in Xialai.

As she has difficulty in moving, she can only rely on her teacher.

However, judging by her appearance, Himari seemed to be enjoying this as well.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Himari."
