Although the distant and heavy mountains still weighed unabated on his shoulders, with Luo Lin's guarantee, at least the immediate urgent need was partially relieved.
But among the girls present, the only one with a slightly different expression was Hoshino, who was the chairman of the countermeasures committee.
She bit her lower lip lightly, lowered her eyebrows and stared at the tabletop covered with traces of time in a daze, and her fingers almost unconsciously rolled the ends of her soft pink hair.
Compared with the obvious relaxation of other people, the expression on the girl's eyebrows is more inclined to a certain sense of self-relaxation, just like a parent who is finally relieved of her child, with a slight arc hanging on the corners of her lips, but not like laughing.
Luo Lin tilted his head, and keenly noticed the strangeness in the girl's expression, but he didn't take the initiative to point it out, he just sighed subtly.
As a human being, it is common for people to be confused when they care about it. It is normal to worry about gains and losses between two completely different choices, wandering for a long time without being able to make up your mind.
This is not something that only happens to children. In fact, as an adult with more experience, it should be encountered more often.
The only difference between the two is that the consequences of every choice made by adults can only be fully borne by themselves, but adults help to cover the wrong choices of children.
As far as the current situation between the Caesars Group and Abydos High School is concerned, Luo Lin thinks that he still has some leeway in his hands, so even though he has already guessed what Hoshino is thinking, he has no intention of stopping it.
Of course, it is still necessary to find a time to talk in private and give her a vaccination by the way.
"Well, anyway, let's stop here for today's meeting."
Hoshino's expression that attracted Luo Lin's attention didn't last long, and it's no exaggeration to say that it passed away in a flash, and soon returned to his usual lazy look.
She glanced at the sunset that was approaching dusk outside, put her hand in front of her mouth and yawned, and continued:
"Everyone is very tired after running for a day. Go back and rest first, let your mind cool down, and gather in the conference room tomorrow. This is the chairman's order~"
"That makes sense, and it's pretty much all that needs to be said."
Luo Lin glanced at Hoshino, followed her words and nodded slightly.
"If there is nothing else to say, let's all go home and recover our strength and spirit."
"After all, what happened today is over, and there are still things that need to be faced seriously tomorrow."
"Then, disband."
……
The sun sank into the sky bit by bit, coating the clouds with warm golden yellow, and lighting half of the sky brightly.
The voices of the girls saying goodbye to each other resounded in Abydos High School, and what they left with them was that they were not strong, but they worked hard to bear the sky-high debts.
Nomiya, Ayane, and Celery went home first, and only Hoshino, Shirako, and Luo Lin were left sitting around the table in the meeting room.
The lazy girl with pink hair tilted her head and looked at Baizi who had a dignified expression for some reason, and a big question mark floated above her head in confusion.
"Hmm...why do you feel like Xiaobaizi still has something to do?"
"Well, yes."
Baizi nodded his head, responded concisely, raised his eyes to stare at Hoshino, and said slowly:
"Senior Hoshino, can I delay your time?"
"Ah, so I wanted to say something to my uncle, no wonder I had to wait until there were only a few of us left, so I suddenly became shy~"
Hoshino was taken aback when he got an affirmative answer, stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, smirked awkwardly, and turned to look at Luo Lin.
"Where is the teacher? Is it the same as Xiaobaizi?"
"Yes, I also have something to talk to Hoshino about."
Luo Lin smiled, there was no ambiguity in his words, and he admitted it neatly.
"Hey - Uncle, I'm really welcome."
Hoshino made a long sound, instinctively sensing something was wrong, rolled his eyes, then half-closed his eyes, trying to put on a sleepy and tired look:
"But ah, a lot of things happened today, right? Uncle, my physical strength is quite exhausted. I'm already very tired, okay?"
"Let's talk about it tomorrow if you have something to say. I probably know what's going on."
"...Well, I see."
Bai Zifen's tender lips were slightly pursed, and he turned his gaze to Luo Lin, as if asking for help, a faint light shone in his clear pupils.
Luo Lin didn't say anything, just smiled and raised his hand, and flicked Bai Zi's forehead with his fingers.
The girl's body cooperated with Luo Lin's effortless movement, and she immediately covered her forehead with her hands, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of her lips.
"Then, Hoshino-senpai, and teacher, see you tomorrow."
After saying this, she stood up, bowed to the other two people present, as if she was rushing to leave room for them to talk, and trotted out of the meeting room at a faster pace, and she was very considerate He took the door behind him.
Going to the window and watching Baizi's figure disappear from the school gate, Hoshino turned around and leaned against the window sill, looked at Luo Lin who was still holding the iron pilot's helmet and sitting on the chair, sighed helplessly, half jokingly the way:
"Teacher is quite capable~ Have you developed a flirtatious relationship with my lovely Bai Zi?"
"Oh, the teacher is indeed an adult that cannot be underestimated. Uncle, I can't keep up with the trend anymore, and I feel very lonely~"
Luo Lin let out a "huh" and shook his head. Instead of answering Hoshino's joke, he got straight to the point:
"Hoshino, can I ask you something?"
Chapter 83 Sure enough, I still like it
"Well... the teacher is so serious."
Hoshino grinned, and suddenly felt sweat dripping down his forehead.
For some reason, when she met Luo Lin's steady and quiet eyes, she always had the illusion that all the thoughts in her heart had been completely seen through, as if there was no corner to hide.
But the girl was unwilling to let her gaffe appear in Luo Lin's eyes. There was no special reason, she just felt resistance from the bottom of her heart.
So she blinked her eyes, tightly embraced the last trace of luck remaining in her heart, and said calmly:
"Hmm, so what's the matter?"
Luo Lin glanced at Xingye's uncomfortable appearance, and suddenly thought of himself in the past.
After I did something wrong when I was a child, when faced with the calm inquiries of those adults and my mother like me now, did I also behave exactly the same as Hoshino at this moment?
Although I feel that I am trying my best to hide it, every tiny move clearly tells the truth.
Constantly making comparisons in his mind, the corners of the young Tie Yu's mouth couldn't help but twitch, suddenly wanting to laugh.
But after he thought about it, he was facing the students right now, and it was not polite to just smile like that, so he had to force his face to hold back the smile, showing a slightly weird expression.
"Ahem, look at this first."
Luo Lin coughed twice, took out the resignation letter that Bai Zi handed over to him in the morning, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Hoshino with one hand.
Looking down at the familiar envelope, the pink-haired girl's expression froze immediately.
She didn't even need to open it to read, she knew what was written inside, and her vision immediately became erratic.
"Ah this..."
Her eyeballs were rolling around, and the little hands behind her couldn't help clenching the hem of the skirt in embarrassment.
The sense of shame that seemed to have done something shady secretly, and she thought she was covering it up perfectly, but was finally seen through at a glance and the evidence was caught instantly surged up, almost completely drowning her.
"Hey, when did it happen...! The one who secretly took this must be Xiao Baizi, right?"
Hoshino moaned in a low voice, closed his eyes as if he had no face to see anyone, and covered his hot and hot cheeks with his hands, showing a rare and cute appearance suitable for her age group.
"Xiao Baizi is serious, no matter how you say it, you can't steal senior's schoolbag?"
"Teacher, you must criticize and educate Baizi well! If you let it go, it is very likely that you will develop into a big villain in the future?"
"After all... the teacher doesn't want the cute little Baizi to become like that, does he?"
"...I took all of you to rob the bank. Isn't it a bit strange to criticize anyone in this kind of thing in the future?"
Luo Lin helplessly raised his hand and rubbed his nose, then smacked his mouth again, and finally agreed.
"Okay, I will remember this matter. I will find time to talk to Bai Zi alone in the future. Now let's talk about your letter of resignation."
"Look at this letter, don't you want to take the initiative to explain something to me, Hoshino?"
"..."
Hoshino was silent for a moment, kneading his face constantly with his small hands, as if to let the embarrassing temperature fade away quickly, and he spoke after a long while:
"Even if you want to escape, it seems that you can't do it now, right? And I always feel that even if I don't say it, the teacher seems to have already guessed it."
"Oh why?"
"Because the teacher has always behaved like this."
Hoshino put down his hands, followed Luo Lin's usual manner and shrugged his shoulders, spreading his hands.
"No matter what happens, don't be surprised, as if everything is under control."
"Then you really think highly of me."
Luo Lin smiled, and tapped a few times on the old wooden table with his fingers, making a crisp "dong dong" sound, which spread through the open window and dissipated in the deserted campus.
"Can you tell me? The reason for your choice."
"...Oh, what a hassle."
The girl complained, but there was no trace of irritability in her expression. She just took a step, like a lazy cat after basking in the sun, and deftly brushed past Luo Lin's side.
"Teacher, can you chat with me over there?"
"of course."
Luo Lin nodded slightly, stood up and followed Hoshino, and walked out of the conference room silently.
The two walked through the silent corridor in tandem, the wooden floor creaked very well, and they sang the ditty that belonged to the sunset middle school.
Going down the stairs and turning the corner, the girl led Luo Lin to the other side of the school building. Through the windows in the corridor that were blurred by the sand and dust, one could vaguely see the dilapidated old playground outside.
Hoshino stopped walking, staring blankly at everything in front of him, the canvas shoes under his feet unconsciously rubbed back and forth, but it felt as slippery as stepping on sand.
She froze for a moment, stretched out her hand to shake off the sand flying up from her mouth and nose, and immediately complained softly helplessly.
"Ahem...Wow, this side is full of dust too."
"Well, but there's nothing you can do about it. Although we usually clean it, but we have such a small number of people facing such a large building, it's really a bit powerless to do everything we want."
"It would be great if the sandstorm in the autonomous region could be reduced..."
While saying some regretful words, the girl with her back to Luo Lin smiled lightly, and only yawned when she turned around to look at him.
The skirt of the school uniform and the tips of the pink hair danced lightly with her movements, immersed in the warm evening colors, and raised a small arc together as if caressing the apex of her heart.
"Haha~ The only time in high school life is full of sandy colors. Doesn't the teacher feel very depressed?"
"Ask me?"
Luo Lin raised his finger to point at the tip of his nose, happy.
"I don't think so at all, because for me at your age, being able to see the light of the stars in the next morning in peace is already a very happy thing in itself."
"As for how life on campus is going...it's not in my consideration at all."
"Ah, it appeared again, the teacher's strange way of expression."
Hoshino scratched his hair, looking a little curious.
"Although uncle, I'm not the kind of person who likes to complain, but why does seeing the sunrise make the teacher feel very happy?"
"No matter how beautiful the scenery is, if you repeat it every day, you will inevitably feel bored, right?"
"If it's just a simple view, then it is."
Luo Lin smiled slightly, as if he was talking about someone else's story that had nothing to do with him.
"In reality, however, that's proof that I'm still alive."
"?"
Hoshino was at a loss for words for a moment, tilted his head in surprise, and a question mark floated up on his head, "This kind of statement is really..."
"Just kidding."
The corner of Luo Lin's mouth ticked, and he took the initiative to put the conversation aside, "Let's get back to the topic, Hoshino, I can see that you really like Abydos High School."
"Hey, well... Based on what I just said, can you actually draw such a conclusion? The teacher is really a weirdo."
Seeing that Luo Lin didn't want to continue talking about his past in detail, Hoshino simply didn't struggle too much, but frowned his little eyebrows, and bit his lower lip in confusion.
