Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

"Hmm? Do you want to sit on the teacher's lap, Ximei?"

"What are you talking about! I, I, I..."

"Don't you want to?"

Faced with Xia's straightforward question, Ximei blushed and said "I" for a long time, but still ended the topic with a familiar "What's it to you!"

"Ahem, so...why did Xia want to sit on my lap?"

However, after hearing Lin En's question, Xia turned around and looked at him, and answered seriously.

"Because it was mentioned in the books I read, it seems to be a means of reward...so I want to try it."

As Xia said this, he touched his chin with a puzzled look on his face like an old man, and spoke to himself.

"But if it's just sitting on my lap like this, it doesn't seem like anything special... Why is it a means of reward?"

Looking at Xia's expression that seemed to be confused from the bottom of his heart, just when Lin En opened his mouth slightly to say something, he looked to his side as if he sensed something, and met the eyes of Hesha who was also looking at him.

The next moment, the two people looked at each other as if they understood each other's thoughts at the same time, and they smiled bitterly at the same time.

“Although I really want to say something like ‘Please ask Teacher Lin to have dessert with us’, but when I think about the fact that these desserts were made by the teacher, it sounds too weird…”

"no problem."

Unexpectedly, the person who answered Hesha's words was not Lin En, but Xia who was sitting on his thigh and swaying slightly.

"It's said in the book that even if the food in front of you is ordinary food that you are used to eating every day, it will feel different if you can sit down and eat it with the person you love."

Chapter 121 I still like my teacher

"Varied--?!"

Hearing Xia's words, which could be said to be extremely bold in some ways, everyone was suddenly speechless.

"Hmm? Is that weird?"

Xia, who was sitting on Lin En's thigh and shaking her calves slightly, blinked in confusion.

Then, as if to prove something, she turned her head and looked at her first target - Ximei.

"Ximei, do you hate Teacher Lin En?"

"I--"

Just after one word came out of her mouth, Ximei suddenly looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

However, Xia did not give her too much time to answer, but nodded thoughtfully.

"That is to say, Ximei doesn't hate Teacher Lin En, right? If that's the case, doesn't that mean she likes him?"

Seeing Ximei sitting next to her speechless, Ai Li couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

"Ahaha... That, Xia-chan, liking someone... isn't that simple..."

"Hmm... I didn't expect Ai Li to say the same things as in the book."

"Eh?"

Under Ai Li's slightly confused gaze, Xia nodded with an expression as if "expected".

"So... Ellie, would you like to go out for a walk with Teacher Lynn?"

"This……"

Although she hesitated for a moment, Ai Li finally nodded slightly in silence.

"Would you like to have dinner with Teacher Lin En in the restaurant?"

"..."

Nod silently.

"Would you like to go to the amusement park or the cinema with Teacher Lin En?"

"..."

Another silent nod.

"Then doesn't Ai Li like Teacher Lin En?"

Seeing that Ai Li did not refute his assumption at all, Xia made this judgment without hesitation.

"So, I have the same idea as Ai Li and I also like the teacher."

"Eh……"

After hearing Xia's declaration, Kazusa finished her drink and turned her head away gloomily.

"But just in case, I'd like to ask you a question first... Why did you suddenly have such an idea? I mean... dinner parties, amusement parks, etc."

"How rude! It didn't come out of nowhere!"

Xia answered this with a dissatisfied tone and took out a notebook from somewhere.

"Because those were all behaviors I had seen and recorded in a book. And the book also said that if one party is willing to do these things with the other party, then that person loves the other party."

“…In other words, Xia, are you willing to do these things with Teacher Lin En?”

"Isn't that natural?"

Xia asked back in confusion, holding the notebook to his chest.

"Don't you think this is funny?"

"..."

After hearing Xia's answer, even Lin En, who had been silent all this time, understood that the petite girl sitting on his lap seemed a little "unworldly". Or... her thinking seemed a little different from those of ordinary students.

"As for Kazusa..."

After turning his head to look at Hesa ​​who was also looking at him, Xia withdrew his gaze.

"Hey! Why didn't you ask me?"

Facing Hesha's slightly embarrassed question, Xia just answered seriously.

"Because when I saw Kazusa just now, I knew that Kazusa would definitely do that without hesitation."

"Although... there is always a subtle sense of discomfort..."

As Kazusa muttered this, Xia quickly glanced at her notes and closed them.

"Well... this is next!"

While everyone was still trying to understand her riddle, Xia had already turned around and looked at Lin En.

"Teacher Lin, can you feed me?"

"what?!"

Before Lin En could react, Ximei, who was sitting opposite him, stood up suddenly.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"Hmm? Because the book says that feeding can significantly bring two people closer together, so I want to give it a try."

"What book are you reading?"

After hearing the other party's answer without hesitation, Lin En, who waved his hand to let Ximei sit down, sighed helplessly.

"Okay, okay... today I will 'lay my life for you'."

Looking at Xia who was looking at him with her mouth slightly opened, like a baby bird waiting to be fed, Lin En smiled bitterly and could only reach out to pick up a cookie from the dessert plate on the table and stuff it into Xia's little mouth.

"Well……"

However, after chewing for a while, Xia frowned slightly as if somewhat dissatisfied.

"It doesn't seem to feel anything special... Teacher Lin En... Can... we try another one?"

"Uh……"

Before Lin En could say anything, he felt three... no, it seemed more than three pairs of eyes were locked on him.

At that moment, he, who was not afraid even when facing the army of Caesar Group, actually felt like sitting on pins and needles.

Come to think of it, have you experienced a similar feeling not long ago?

Just as Lin En sighed inwardly and began to wonder what to say or do next, a familiar sound of steady breathing reached his ears.

After hearing the breathing sound, Lin En couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"At least... I don't need to worry about so many troublesome things for now."

After Lin En smiled bitterly inwardly, he looked down at the petite girl who was already lying in his arms.

"call……"

She slept soundly, her nostrils twitching slightly, as if she had a good dream, and the corners of her pink lips curled up slightly.

The little face that always looked thoughtful just now was as pure as an angel after falling asleep. She stretched out her hand and pinched Lin En's shoulder unconsciously. Her ponytail rubbed against Lin En's face, which felt slightly itchy.

"This guy is quite cute when he's quiet."

Staring at Xia who was sleeping in his arms, Lin En couldn't help but chuckle and whispered so.

"Really? He tortured us so much, but he just fell asleep..."

Although her tone was still full of dissatisfaction towards Xia, Ximei couldn't help but lower her voice.

"It seems like this guy didn't just forget to gather."

Although she still brought up the fact that Xia had stood them up, there was no longer any complaint in Hesha's tone.

Hearing this, Ai Li, who also lowered her voice, smiled and spoke to Kazusa.

"I thought Xia-chan might have been delayed because of something special..."

"I guess she's been staying up all night these days reading that book she mentioned earlier. She even has some dark circles under her eyes."

After reaching out and gently rubbing Xia's head, Lynn smiled and looked at the rest of the dessert department.

"In that case, let's chat a little more before Xia wakes up, right? For example...what desserts do you like to eat?"

Chapter 122 The Scenery He Saw

"Well……"

Just as Lin En was chatting with several other people in the dessert department, a low murmur sounded from Lin En's arms.

When he looked down subconsciously, he found that Xia, who was lying in his arms, had slowly opened his eyes at some point.

"Did it wake you up?"

"No……"

Hearing Lin En's slightly apologetic words, Xia rubbed his eyes and shook his head slightly.

Perhaps because she had just woken up, the girl looked a little dazed at this moment, and her tone was very soft, just like the marshmallows they had just eaten, soft and sweet, making people want to lower their heads and bite them.

Lin En resisted this strange impulse, smiled, and gently stroked her long hair.

"How was your rest, Xia?"

"Well?"

Xia tilted his head as if he didn't understand what he was saying, and his eyes were slightly confused as if he hadn't woken up yet.

At this moment, the girl straightened her body slightly as if she suddenly noticed something, and at the same time, she reached out her slender hand towards Lin En's cheek.

Faced with Xia's actions, Lin En, who didn't know what she was going to do, was subconsciously stunned, and her movements froze.

Compared to Lin En who was a little stiff, Xia "had no hesitation" and gently scratched his face with his fingers.

When she pulled her hand back, there was a small dot of cream on her fingertips.

"It's stained, teacher."
