Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

Originally, the climate was not considered cool, it could even be considered a prelude to coldness.

A large number of students even put on autumn coats

However, we have just caught up with the heat wave before the last winter weather arrives, and the sunshine is not too intense, so sitting on the rooftop this week is not so hot under the cool breeze.

And because it is on the top of the teacher's office building, almost no students can come up.

Now only Takashi was enjoying the comfortable wind on the bench on the rooftop.

"Click."

The calm he had just spoken was broken by the sound of the sliding door leading to the rooftop sliding.

"I'm just telling you, there's no one in the office building." came a very energetic boy's voice.

"Hey...Kevin, look over there, who said there's no one there." A very quiet boy's voice also came.

"Uh.."

"Hey, good afternoon..." Long raised the can and shook it in greeting. He remembered the names of these two familiar students, paused and then said: "Oh, classmate Kevin, classmate Su."

"It's not allowed to go to the rooftop privately~"

"Ah, Teacher Long!" Kevin exclaimed with a silly smile on his face and touched his head.

"It's okay, Teacher Long won't care about this little thing - right, Kevin." Su quickly gave Kevin a look.

Kevin reacted quickly and said with a smile: "Of course, of course, Teacher Long is kind-hearted." At the same time, he quickly ran to Long's side, rubbed his shoulders without any emotion, pressed his shoulder and shook it - - Quite a bit of brotherly pride.

Long smiled kindly.

As for Kevin's full energy and naivety, Long was already aware of it when he was in junior high school, when he transferred to another school.

Takashi was also deeply impressed by Su's faint sense of transparency and tranquility.

Coincidentally, during the summer vacation after their second year of junior high school, something happened at the home of their original class teacher, which caused him to resign and go back to work in Mu Dalu.

Takashi had just entered Senba Academy at that time and was assigned to his class as the head teacher.

Long was not worried, and it was impossible for him to be troubled by this matter - but several teachers who cared about their students had expressed their uncertain trust in Long, a new teacher.

Of course, Takashi resolved the distrust with his good reputation among students.

"Sit down, come up for lunch?" Long looked at the plastic bags in their hands and said to Su, who was walking over.

"Yes, there are people on those rooftops, so Kevin wanted to take a look here." Su said and sat on the chair and started to take out food, which was a bowl of noodles.

He also asked: "Teacher, have you eaten?", which was very Su's hometown style.

Long naturally knew it and replied with a smile: "Eat, hurry up, otherwise the noodles will become lumpy."

"Ah."

Kevin also nodded and took out the packaged noodles inside.

Sue, Kevin, Long.

The three of them sat down on the bench in this order, and there was still some space. The chair was installed relatively long, which was different from the ones in other buildings, and even different from the other benches on the roof of the building.

Perhaps they were left over from the original construction of the school, so they were installed in these places without wasting them.

"Teacher, what kind of drink are you drinking? I've never seen it before." Kevin came over and stared at the can in Long's hand.

"Oh, this, beer."

"Is beer-wine good to drink? Many adults seem to like it?" Kevin asked while eating noodles.

Long smiled: "It's not delicious, it's choking. It's just that some people can't avoid it because of the regional food traditions, and some people are simply addicted and can't control it."

"What about you, teacher?" Su and Kevin both looked at Long and the wine in his hands curiously.

Brand new branches: 346. Barriers without identity

"Drinking in school is not what teachers should do." Su said.

"Yeah." Kevin nodded one after another.

"Hahahaha, you are right. This is not a good example for teachers, so don't imitate me on this point. After all, I am different. Alcohol is no different from water to me."

"This time, please forgive me~" Long said, placing his palms on the can, making a begging gesture, and was very cute to the two of them.

There is no age or identity barrier at all, he is really like a friend and an older brother.

Before Kevin and Su could say anything, Long took back his stance and continued talking.

"As for what kind of person you ask me about, I--" Long said with a faint smile as usual, looking at the can in his hand: "I am just a pastime with friends."

This can brand is a relatively niche product, produced in a local gathering place.

It is a brand that Takashi and Alicia bought during their journey.

The taste is good, but the boss's business is very small and he doesn't want to expand.

Eden also considers it to be the best among beers.

It is rarely seen in the Mu Continent and the areas around the Mu Continent.

So generally no one will buy it here.

Almost only shipping for searches on the Internet.

"Friends' pastime?" Kevin didn't understand. He looked around and said, "No one else."

Su sighed slightly: "Idiot Kevin, isn't that what the teacher meant?"

"What does that mean?" Kevin scratched his hair to express confusion.

Su hesitated for a while and then said: "It should be a way of remembering distant friends. In my hometown, there is also this kind of borrowing things and scenery. It doesn't necessarily have to be face to face."

"It doesn't have to be that two people are facing each other? Hmm..." Kevin was lost in thought, and he didn't even continue to slur the noodles on the disposable chopsticks.

"Hahaha——" After Long laughed, he changed the drink to his right hand, patted Kevin next to him on the back and said, "Don't think about it, just eat quickly."

"Oh! Eat first, eating is the most important thing!"

"Huh? Plum is not important?" Long looked over and said with a smile, a can dangling in his hand.

"Uh...ha, haha, hahaha—" Kevin and Su froze at the same time, letting out awkward laughter.

"Teacher, you...how did you know?" Kevin seemed to have a cold sweat on his forehead.

Although Long has always been as amiable to them as a 24-year-old biological elder brother who is only six or seven years older than them - it does not mean that he does not have the majesty of a teacher.

Although the teachers here don't care about these things.

But as a junior high school student, I suddenly found out that my teacher and even my head teacher knew about my relationship...

I feel a little awkward and unable to let go.

Maybe there is still a little bit of fear.

"How do I know? Hum~" Long showed an interesting smile: "I am such a considerate teacher, is it possible that there are no various underground transportation networks between you?"

"Almost all your groups have my trumpet account."

"Many little ones are also my sources of information. When it comes to teachers knowing gossip among students, no one knows more than me."

"The prince of Senba Academy~~~"

"Hey - Teacher, please stop!" Kevin trembled and quickly expressed his defeat: "Please don't pronounce this title!"

"It's enough for girls to talk about this... How do you say it in Su's hometown dialect? Oh——! Evil!"

"Now you do this, ugh - I'm getting goosebumps."

"Hahahahahaha——" Long's laughter echoed across the rooftop.

Su also took a mouthful of noodles with a silent smile.

Kevin curled his lips when he discovered that both of them were like this, and buried himself in eating his own noodles.

While eating, Kevin thought of something else: "Hey, teacher, where is your girlfriend? I've seen her bring lunch boxes to you many times before, why hasn't she come recently? Mei also noticed it and thought Something strange."

"Ah, this. Well..."

Kevin showed his gossipy face: "Breaked up?"

"Go!", Long said, giving him a blow to the head.

"Hehe~" Kevin didn't feel any discomfort at all, and still laughed innocently after returning to his normal position.

Long took a sip of wine, shook the can, and listened to the sound of bubbles inside and said: "Alicia's vacation is over. We all have jobs. We are all adults, and we don't play around every day. .”

"Oh——", Kevin nodded thoughtfully and muttered: "Work...it seems easy to separate the two of them."

"I don't want to be separated from Mei."

"Well..." Long said, "Actually... if possible, I can go with Alicia."

"But in that case—"

"Ok?"

"Nothing." Long said perfunctorily.

"Oh." Kevin and Su looked at each other and continued eating.

After a while, they put away what they had eaten and leaned on their chairs, looking at the sky and enjoying the cool breeze.

"Kevin, you just asked the teacher where my girlfriend went."

"I would like to ask you, where is Mei? Aren't you following her around all day long?"

"Mei-san also seems very happy to have a boyfriend like you."

Speaking of this, Kevin suddenly became interested and sat up as if he wanted to talk to others about how great his girlfriend was.

But as soon as the words came to his lips, Kevin was speechless. He slumped back in his chair and made a feeble voice in his throat: "Mei has published a paper. It seems to be something... measuring some strength or something. I heard her say it caused... I have attracted the attention of the scientific community and received an invitation from Mu Dalu’s academic seminar, so I am very busy now.”

"Mei is really smart. I checked and found out that Mei's father is also a famous scientist. They are indeed a father and daughter."

"Don't like Mei chasing her dreams?"

"How is that possible!?" Kevin jumped up after hearing Long's question and said quickly: "Mei is pursuing her scientific research ideals, I'm so happy..."

"Then why are you so lethargic?"

"....It's just that I'm a little bit lackluster without Mei around."

"Hahaha - it's very troublesome to want to be together all the time. Wouldn't it be nice to know that she will still like you no matter how far away we are? Look at me, it's okay for Alicia and I to be separated temporarily because of work, because we both Know that you love the other person, no matter how far away." Long said this, spreading his arms calmly.

"That's the truth, but I don't have much energy." Kevin sat back again and slumped on the back of the chair.

Brand new branches: 347. Describe their respective ideals

"Is Mei-san so charming?" Takashi flattened the empty can and put it in a plastic bag after they finished eating the food so that they could easily throw it away. "I don't think you want to eat or drink like this."

Long smiled again and said, "No, I still enjoy eating. So, eating is more important than Mei-san?"

"No way!" Kevin shook his arm hanging on the back of the chair in boredom and said, "It's just that you can't see her if you don't eat."

"Haha...you are the seed of infatuation." Takashi laughed teasingly.

"Hehe~" Kevin smiled complacently when he heard him say this, as if he thought the title was not bad.

"You're like a follower." Long shook his head helplessly and then continued: "Mei's dream is to continue on the path of scientific research, and his future work will probably be in a research institute. What about you, Kevin?"

"Is it possible to pass the exam too?"

"It's a bit confusing."

"Or... apply for a job as a security guard at the institute?"

Long said, touching his chin, and pretending to be thinking seriously: "If you are lucky, maybe you can become Mei's personal bodyguard - if Mei has high research results in the future."

"Handsome bodyguard and beautiful boss..."

"Tsk, why does it feel like an urban novel?"

Kevin was stunned for a while. He listened to Long's words and couldn't keep up with his out-of-the-box thinking.

"Why did you suddenly jump from work to urban novels? But..." But seeing Long thinking so seriously, Kevin couldn't help but think about it, and didn't notice Su's see-through smile at all.

"It sounds good according to what the teacher said, right?"
