Survive in Azure Files

"Eh? Teacher?"

Xiaoxue, who was forced to sit by me, looked uneasy: "Did I do something wrong? Why do you have such an expression... It's so scary..."

I know that I shouldn't show my emotions so blatantly.

However, even if it will reduce Xiaoxue's favorability towards me, there are some things that must be done.

"Now, it's time to preach."

I stared into her panicked eyes and said coldly, "Don't think it will end soon."

Chapter 40: The White Rabbit is Caught

Late at night.

I took Xiaoxue and waited at the door of Xialai.

"I don't want to go back to the Millennium! I'll definitely be killed by Yuuka-senpai!"

Xiaoxue, who was handcuffed by me, begged with tears in her eyes: "Please let me go, teacher! Can you bear to see such a lovely girl like me end up in such a miserable state even though I have been scolded by you?"

I shook my head and touched her head lovingly: "I can't bear it."

A glimmer of hope appeared in Xiaoxue's eyes.

"So I won't come to see you for a while."

"How can this be! Teacher, you are too cruel!"

She still has the mood to accuse me. I really don't know if she is reflecting on herself.

Mingming was still crying when she was being lectured, and her attitude of admitting her mistakes was very sincere. But Xiaoxue's current behavior really makes me suspect that she may have completely forgotten the promise she made at that time.

I couldn't help but remind him again: "Remember to apologize to Yuuka and the other people who were troubled when you go back. Do you understand?"

"I know, I know, teacher, you are so fussy."

Seeing Xiaoxue nodding perfunctorily, my blood pressure instantly rose.

This guy, he really doesn't reflect on himself at all!

I took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and comforted myself in my heart that Xiaoxue was such a heartless person. If not, Yuka wouldn't have such a headache for her.

There is no other way. If you want to teach her well, you still have to use both soft and hard methods, and take it step by step.

Moreover, if I want Xiaoxue to really take my words to heart, I have to get into this guy's heart first.

In other words, in order to help Yuka relieve her worries, I had to conquer Xiaoxue!

If Yuka knew about my deep feelings, she would definitely be moved to tears, right?

But Xiaoxue's chaotic personality... I really don't know where to start. I can only take it one step at a time.

I waited for a while in the slightly chilly evening breeze.

Xiaoxue, who was squatting beside me, wrapped her coat tightly and complained, "It's so slow. Teacher, do we have to wait outside?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you in a hurry to go back and continue to be scolded?"

"...Then, it's better to go slower."

As the joke was going on, two lights rose at one end of the road.

A black luxury car with high beams on drove up and stopped in front of the Xialai Building. A girl wearing glasses and a maid outfit, and Yuka stepped out from the driver's seat and the front passenger seat respectively.

"Xiao! Xue! You really made it hard for me to find you!"

As soon as I got off the car, Yuka came over angrily.

Xiaoxue made a terrified sound and hid behind me, trembling: "Teacher! Look at Yuka-senpai's expression..."

Yuka was startled when she heard that. She coughed lightly and then put on a gentle smile in an instant: "Teacher, thank you for your hard work."

"It's even scarier when your face changes so quickly!"

Hearing Xiaoxue's exclamation, Youxiang almost couldn't maintain her decent smile.

I quickly spoke up to ease Yuka's embarrassment and save Xiaoxue's life:

"It's not that hard. It was Xiaoxue who bumped into me. I could only wait and see."

Xiaoxue wailed in despair: "Wow... I didn't expect the teacher would actually betray me... I was careless..."

...Where does she get the confidence to think that I will protect her?

Yuka ignored Xiaoxue and said, "Anyway, thank you for your help this time. We'll take this guy back first."

"Yes. Here's the key to the handcuffs."

I handed Yuuka a small plastic key, and she passed it to the girl behind her who had long flaxen hair and a quiet temperament. She was dressed in a maid outfit and was probably also a member of C&C.

"Nice to meet you, Xia Lai's teacher. I'm Akane from C&C."

After Zhu Yin briefly introduced herself to me, she kindly "invited" Xiao Xue, who was hiding behind me, to come out, and then raised her eyebrows:

"Oh my, the quality of these handcuffs...it seems like they will break if you use a little force."

"Huh!?" Xiaoxue showed an expression of disbelief, but before she could even try, Zhu Yin replaced the handcuffs with a pair of gleaming silver metal handcuffs.

"What? Did the teacher buy a low-quality product?"

Yuka was indignant: "Did you keep the receipt? How dare you cheat the teacher? I'll go with you to ask for an explanation!"

Zhu Yin followed up and said, "I can also accept the commission."

"Don't worry, it's designed that way."

I put away the pink plastic handcuffs.

"Is it designed like this?" Yuka looked confused. "I don't understand. Could this useless design have been designed by the engineering department?"

Zhu Yin pondered for a moment and made a guess: "Perhaps it is to make it easier for the criminal to break free and escape, so as to aggravate the crime he has committed."

You are wrong. This is just a magical tool that you need to use when discussing important work with Tianyu from Gehenna.

However, the other two girls obviously believed what Akane said.

Xiaoxue shuddered: "Is that so? The teacher is so vicious!"

"This won't work on someone who isn't trying to escape."

"Hmm..." Xiaoxue's eyes suddenly lit up, "So, the teacher actually trusts me?"

Sometimes, I am sincerely impressed by the magic of life, which can create such magical brain circuits.

"You're an idiot," Yuuka said, speaking my mind. "Stop dawdling and get in the car. I'll have to settle accounts with you after we return to the millennium. Teacher, we'll be gone for now. I'll thank you formally next time when I have more free time."

Xiaoxue, who was escorted to the car by Zhuyin, looked at me with tears in her eyes.

"Wu... Teacher, please save me... I don't want to go back..."

At this point, you still want to ask me for help?

It really is, there is no hope.

I sighed inwardly, and called out to the blue-haired girl who had just opened the car door: "Yuuka, I've already taught her a lesson for you. So..."

"Teacher, don't spoil Xiaoxue too much." Yuka turned around, "Actually, this is not a big deal. At least compared to the previous disturbances Xiaoxue caused."

"It's already this serious, and it's still not a big deal?"

I am aware of the adverse impact that data errors can have on accounting work.

So how many outrageous things did Xiaoxue do in the past...

While I was thinking, Yuka looked at the worried junior and smiled meaningfully, "Anyway, since it was Koyuki who made the mistake in her calculations, she should be responsible for correcting it. Of course, under my supervision."

Hearing this, Xiaoxue was silent for a second, and then she struggled violently: "Teacher! You heard it, it's all Yuka-senpai's conspiracy! She is framing me! Save me!"

Yuka immediately broke down: "Do you really know the meaning of the word 'frame'? If you don't understand, don't use it carelessly! Really! Then, teacher, please go to bed early."

After saying that, Yuka and Akane got into the car, took the arrested Koyuki with them, and drove away.

Chapter 41 Xiaoyu must have a crush on me

The next day, I did not go to Millennium, but chose to stay in Xialai to work.

In order to thank me for helping to capture Xiaoxue, Youxiang volunteered to help me supervise the children in the game development department to review their lessons after work.

As the accountant of the seminar, Yuuka can be regarded as a model student among model students, with excellent grades. I think that Yuuka can help the game development department improve its grades better than me, so I readily agreed.

By the way, I deliberately kept this a secret and did not inform anyone of this happening.

I believe that when Yuka comes to their house early in the morning and tells them the good news that Yuka will take time out to tutor them in the days before the exam, they will be genuinely surprised, right?

What kind of interesting expressions will the girls show? Just imagining it makes me happy.

After working alone for a while, there was a courtesy knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The next moment, a girl with blonde hair and purple eyes pushed the door open and walked in.

I was about to greet her, but my attention was drawn to what she was holding in her arms, and the greeting on my lips changed:

"Xiaoyu, what are you carrying?"

Otome Otome from the Ministry of Truth subconsciously hugged the huge stuffed bear doll tightly: "Um, this... um..."

Seeing her evasive look, I realized that things might not be that simple, and then I thought of the message she had sent me on momotalk before -

Xiaoyu: Teacher, teacher.

Xiaoyu: Teacher, is there anything that you have always cherished?

Me: Of course.

Me: My students, including Xiaoyu, are my treasures.

Xiaoyu: Shocked! Is the teacher the type to say such frivolous things as if nothing had happened?

Me: Hahaha, I’m serious.

Xiaoyu: Really? But that’s not what I’m asking about.

Xiaoyu: That is to say, teacher, is there anything you particularly like and have been collecting?

Xiaoyu: What about the things you like very much and carry with you every day?

Xiaoyu: What about the things you always carry with you that you would feel uneasy if they were taken away from you for even a short while? Do you have any?

Me: Um…does a keychain count?

Xiaoyu: Let me see... the size of the key ring... 啟... doesn't count. Anything else?

Me: Where’s the tablet?

Xiaoyu: Well, what else?

Me: I really can’t think of anything else at the moment.

Xiaoyu: I see… That’s troublesome.

Me: What’s the trouble?

Xiaoyu: No, nothing.

After that, the chat naturally ended.

I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now when I think back on it, there was indeed something strange.

My eyes narrowed - could it be that Xiaoyu has a crush on me and is trying to please me in order to win my favor, but when the time comes she is too shy to say it out loud?

No. It could also be that he was worried because he couldn’t ask me what I liked, so he bought such a big doll for me but didn’t know if I would like it.

That’s right, it must be like this!

After all, from the contrast between her silence in real life and her endless talkativeness online, it is not difficult to see that Xiaoyu's personality is somewhat introverted, and it is normal for this situation to occur.

I smiled confidently and said, "Could it be that this is a gift for me?"
