Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

"I said, JOJO."

"What?"

"I've heard that in the Bald Eagle, coffee is considered a symbol of efficiency."

"Many people are considered to be working diligently even if they do nothing but hold a cup of coffee."

Turning to Joseph beside him, Luo Zhen asked with some curiosity.

This was an opinion he had seen in some magazine, which talked at length about this phenomenon.

To be honest, this viewpoint is quite interesting.

Just like some idiots who think they're elite just because they wear a suit.

"That's a bit of an exaggeration; it's obviously impossible."

Joseph grinned, looking somewhat helpless.

He didn't know why such a strange rumor had spread.

While coffee plays a significant role in Bald Eagle's food culture, there's no need to mythologize it so much.

At least Joseph himself didn't feel that way.

Coffee was a pretty good drink for him.

Of course, at this age, he still prefers drinks like cola.

Luo smiled and was about to say something when he felt a gentle breeze on the back of his head.

A well-maintained strand of jet-black hair gently swayed in front of Luo Zhen's eyes, like a mischievous child.

The girl's unique fragrance quietly wafted into his nostrils.

Startled for a moment, Luo Zhen turned his head to look behind him.

Asukai Kiki's profile came into his view.

They were stuck there for a moment.

After noticing Luo Zhen's actions, Asukai Kiki also turned her head to look at Luo Zhen.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Looking into Asukai Kiki's eyes, Luo Zhen's thoughts drifted away.

When we first met, those emerald-like pupils seemed to be hidden behind a thick barrier, or covered with a layer of dust.

Peeking carefully at the world through this layer of dust.

All that could be seen was pain and despair.

At that time, she was more like a soul trapped in a puppet, only able to watch but unable to do anything.

Until that day, someone very rudely kicked open the door to the ward that had a 'rest' sign on it and told her:

"you're free."

After many years, those eyes once again shone with the light of hope.

Now, those pupils are more like a clear spring in the forest.

It flows quietly, without making a fuss.

It's as if you can see into the other person's heart through those clear pupils.

"What's wrong? Is there something strange on my face?"

Tilting her head, Asukai Kiki asked with some confusion.

Joseph subtly shifted to the side and slowed down his drinking, afraid of making too much noise and disturbing the two of them.

His eyes, which were once so intimidating during battle, were now filled with gossip.

I'm just an ordinary bystander.jpg

"Um........."

After staring at Asukai Kiki for a few seconds, Luo Zhen silently reached out his hand.

Sitting up straight brought their faces even closer, only a fist's distance apart.

Asukai Kiki seemed to be able to sense Luo Zhen's breathing.

It reached through the hanging hair, down to Asukai Kiki's ear, from her fingers to her palm, and slowly disappeared from the edge of Asukai Kiki's sight.

"Pfft!"

At that moment, Asukai Kiki felt as if she heard her own heart pound violently.

His fingertips, still warm from the tea, gently brushed against Asukai Kiki's ear, then touched her head.

Feeling the warmth on her ear, Asukai Kiki's cheeks instantly turned bright red.

His once calm eyes suddenly seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

Staring at Luo Zhen's face, he seemed somewhat at a loss for words.

A sense of panic quietly spread through my heart.

'Oh oh oh!!!'

Joseph, who was watching the show, was so excited that he almost jumped off his chair.

It's like watching a drama and seeing the couple you ship finally get together in the end.

Forcibly suppressing his inner elation, Joseph stood up calmly and tiptoed towards the door.

The massive body made no sound at this moment, like a nimble cat.

Although he really wanted to watch, if things really went as he expected...

His presence will become superfluous and obstructive from now on.

If nothing unexpected happens...

If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is going to happen.

The hand that was on Asukai Kiki's head suddenly exerted force, forcefully straightening Asukai Kiki's head.

"Girls shouldn't always tilt their heads; it's bad for their spine."

After straightening Asukai Kiki's head, Luo Zhen calmly withdrew his hand.

At least it looks very calm.

For a moment, Asukai Kiki didn't know what to say.

"Oh!"

A loud crash came from behind them, and when they turned around, Joseph had slammed his head into the door.

Even with their backs turned, Joseph's helpless expression could be felt.

"What's wrong, JOJO?"

No, there's nothing there.

Looking at his clothes soaked with tea, Joseph responded expressionlessly.

Sometimes he really wanted to take Luo Zhen's head apart to see what was inside.

It can't all be reinforced concrete, can it?

Joseph opened the door and walked out without saying a word.

"Where are you going?"

I'm going to clear my head.

Watching Joseph's departing figure, Luo Zhen silently took a sip of the still-warm tea in his cup.

His shifty gaze suggested he wasn't as calm as he appeared.

There was still some warmth left on my left hand, which was placed on the table, but it didn't seem to be the heat of the tea.

Coming to her senses, Asukai Kiki brushed a strand of hair from her ear and silently returned to her seat.

He turned slightly to the side, leaving his back to Luo Zhen.

While drinking water, Luo Zhen unconsciously turned his seat and turned his head away from looking at Asukai Kiki.

For a moment, the only sounds in the room were the sounds of Asukai Kiji turning over documents and Luo Zhen drinking water.

It looks like they're throwing a tantrum and don't want to see each other.

But only the two parties involved know the actual situation.

Asujiki, absentmindedly flipping through the documents, had a somewhat unfocused gaze, her mind completely elsewhere from the files in her hands.

The brief moment she locked eyes with Luo Zhen had indeed stirred her heart.

On the other end, Luo Zhen stared at the empty teacup, lost in thought.

He placed it on the table and unconsciously tapped it with his left hand.

This is what Joseph saw when he returned.

His gaze swept back and forth between the two men, and a smile suddenly appeared on Joseph's face.

It seems things haven't gone too far astray.

Chapter 493 Single Teachers Alliance

With a strange smile on his face, Joseph returned to his seat.

"Hi."

He let out a long breath, but the smile on Joseph's face showed no sign of fading.

Seeing Joseph's smile, Luo Zhen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

I have this smile that inexplicably makes me angry.

"Don't you want to take a nap?"

Joseph leaned back in his chair, put his hands behind his head, and asked.

After dealing with the real person's matter, the two can rest for a while.

The gears, on the other hand, were quite quiet and didn't seem to have any intention of causing trouble.

That's at least how it seems for now.

However, as a product of technology, the side with higher technology will definitely suffer a defeat when facing the side with lower technology.

The side that was attacked had almost no power to resist.

Gears, as part of the Transformers, are technologically advanced, but that doesn't mean they can utilize extremely powerful technological means.

Few people who know how to use a mobile phone know how to manufacture one.

Mobile phones are technologically advanced, but if someone picks up a rock from the roadside and throws it at a phone, everyone knows who will be unlucky.

Therefore, both Rōjin and Joseph were quite confident in the gears.

"You weren't asleep either, were you?"

Luo Zhen countered with a question.

Joseph was busy with him, and if Joseph didn't sleep, why should he?

"I have coffee, what do you have?"

Joseph shook the instant coffee beside him and asked with a smile.

Luo Zhen rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.

Shift your gaze to the other side—

"I'm not late, am I?"

As she got out of the car, Hiratsuka Shizuka greeted Yamanaka Sawako.

Unlike her usual blazer paired with a white lab coat, Hiratsuka Shizuka was dressed casually today.
