Survive in Azure Files

I tried a few and found that they were as delicious as Ellie said. Although they were still a little sweet, they were still within my acceptable range.

So I savored the dessert and chatted with the lovely Ellie, enjoying the leisurely moment wholeheartedly.

However, my phone rang again.

I interrupted the conversation with Ellie and wanted to see who was looking for me at this time.

Haomei: Teacher, are you free? You are quite free, right?

Haomei: It’s not a big deal, but I would like the teacher to help me.

Hao Mei: It doesn’t matter if you are busy, after all, it doesn’t matter.

I couldn't help but look up at Ellie, who was sitting opposite me and enjoying the food. I wondered, why is it your dessert department again? Is it because of the exam?

Me: I’m a little busy right now…are we going to eat something?

Haomei: Why should eating be the prerequisite?

Haomei: I'm not a pig! I only know how to eat!

Me: Sorry, I was just kidding.

Haomei: Every time I try to give you more respect, you tease me like this!

Hao Mei: I really won’t forgive you anymore…

Me: I was wrong, please forgive me. I really have something to do now, can I come to see you in the afternoon?

Haomei: Here we go again...

Haomei: ...Thanks. Let’s meet at the “Milletue Cafe” then.

I looked at this place with a strange expression: Yi Yuanmu is so beautiful, and you said you didn’t want to eat dessert!

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Noticing the change in my expression, Ellie asked with concern.

I shook my head: "Nothing, just work matters, no big deal, continue eating."

After enjoying dessert with Ai Li, we chatted for a while about life and study. Seeing that it was almost time, I paid the bill and said goodbye to Ai Li outside the store.

I waited there until Ai Li's back disappeared in the crowd, then turned back to the shop I had just walked out of and sat back in the seat I had just sat in.

I called the waiter to clear the table, ordered exactly what Ai Li had ordered just now, and waited for Xiao Xia to arrive.

A moment later, as I received Xiao Xia's message on my phone, a petite figure appeared in the corridor.

A pink side ponytail, bright red eyes, a delicate and cute face and an ordinary figure, this is exactly the self-proclaimed romantic Yuzu Natsu.

"Good morning, teacher. I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?"

Xiao Xia greeted me and nodded in surprise and satisfaction when she learned that I had already ordered.

"Not bad, teacher. This is quite a cream puff act. I was right."

Haha, if you say I am, then take it as it is. Just be careful that I don’t get drunk on you one day.

In fact, I think that this description from Xiaoxia is probably a compliment to me that I look mature but am gentle at heart. I think I have gradually learned the language of Yuzu Bird Star.

After the cupcakes came, I recalled what Ellie had said before and described the advantages of each variety to Xiaoxia.

Xiao Xia didn't express her own opinion, but listened to me carefully. This made me feel like I was in a different position from when I was eating dessert with Ai Li just now.

After I finished speaking, Xiao Xia retracted her gentle gaze and spoke with a very meaningful tone:

"Hehe~ It's only been a few days since we last met, teacher, have you developed a love for sweets? But when you express your feelings, the emotions you express are just like cotton candy~"

Marshmallow's words are... light and empty and exaggerated?

Obviously, Xiao Xia realized that these words did not come from my mouth, but there seemed to be a deviation in other understandings:

"But I did some research in advance. It's more like a cupcake than a marshmallow. Although the portion is not very large, the taste and quality are really great."

Xiao Xia sighed: "How romantic."

The girl picked up the cupcake, gently peeled away the paper mold, put the sweet cake into her mouth, and chewed it carefully.

After swallowing it, she licked the corner of her mouth and licked the cream into her mouth:

"thanks for treatment."

Chapter 33: I am a super time management master (Part 2)

Although we agreed to meet at a coffee shop, Haomei definitely didn’t ask me out for the new dessert.

The main purpose, however, is to prepare for the upcoming exam at Trinity that both Ai Li and Xiao Xia mentioned to me.

"I called you here for study! Not for food!"

Hao Mei looked at the cupcakes I had ordered in advance on the table and said with a blushing face.

Taking a deep breath, Hao Mei continued to explain the situation: "Because I am not very confident about this exam, I plan to review the wrong questions in my usual homework and do some revision. However, when I study by myself, I will have a lot of distracting thoughts and I will not be able to absorb...

"It's OK to write the correct parts because they are within the scope of my knowledge, but the wrong parts take me a while to understand even if I have read them. So I thought it would be more efficient if someone could help me explain the wrong parts."

At this point, Hao Mei blushed again: "Bi, after all, you are a teacher, you should be willing to help me with such a small matter, right? This is your duty, right?"

From my common sense of teacher-student relationship, it seems to be true. But this is Kivotos——

Based on my understanding of the unique teacher-student relationship in Kivotos, I thought that my teaching method might only take the form of waving a teaching stick at students.

To be honest, I don't have much confidence in teaching people to read. Although I should still have the knowledge I should have after basic education, I don't understand the content of Trinity's exams.

"I'll state in advance that I may not be able to help much, but I can only promise to do my best."

"You don't have to be so formal! Really, just help me take a look first."

Haomei took out a workbook from her schoolbag and handed it to me. I flipped through a few pages and my heart suddenly felt relieved.

It's just high school or even middle school math, which is no problem for me. However, being able to do something is one thing, being able to teach is another. I don't know if I can point out the crux of the problem and make Haomei understand.

When I looked up and was about to speak to Haomei, I found that her eyes were involuntarily drifting towards the exquisitely shaped cupcakes and she was swallowing her saliva unconsciously.

I couldn't help but become interested and cleared my throat to attract the girl's attention:

"Come to think of it, if you're going to study, why did you choose a cafe that's famous for its desserts?"

Hao Mei said stubbornly: "This is indeed a cafe! Many people come here to study!"

Under my meaningful gaze, the girl's delicate thoughts turned to another direction:

"...Or, am I disturbing the teacher's work? After all, I heard that... the teacher is always busy. He would suddenly disappear from the usual chat."

Actually, I was replying to other girls. As for being busy at work, it is true in a way. After all, building good relationships with students is also part of my job.

Facing Hao Mei who was getting anxious, I shook my head and said casually, "I'm free now, so it's okay."

"...Thank you. It was the right decision to ask the teacher for help. Although the teacher often says strange things, he is still a teacher..."

Although Hao Mei has a proud and arrogant personality, she expressed her gratitude frankly at this moment, which made me unable to help but speak:

"But actually, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to eat cake."

"Ah, so that's how it is~"

Haomei just showed a bright smile and showed signs of raising her hand, but her expression and movements were frozen.

A blush instantly crept up her fair cheeks, and the girl gritted her teeth and shouted angrily:

“Stop teasing me! I can’t stand it anymore, why are you doing this again, teacher! I already told you I didn’t come here to eat! You keep saying things like this, have you ever considered my feelings? Do you think it’s okay to do this because you think I’ll easily forgive you?!”

I didn't expect Hao Mei's reaction to be so intense, so I quickly apologized: "Wait, wait, I'm wrong. I'm sorry for teasing you. Calm down first..."

"Calm down? How can you ask me to calm down?"

"Others are watching..."

"What do you mean everyone else is watching? It's none of my business!"

Hao Mei was still angry when a huge black shadow came from the corridor towards our table. At the same time, a female voice with a hint of dissatisfaction sounded:

"This is a public place, if you want to argue please... Hey, teacher? And Haomei?"

Hao Mei, who was just going crazy, felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on her. Her burning spirit was instantly extinguished. She stammered:

"Lan-Lan-Jian Senior?"

I also raised my hand with a little embarrassment, and greeted the girl with long black hair like a raven, huge black wings, a tall figure just shorter than me, and dressed as vulgarly as Ayako:

"Good afternoon, Hasumi, are you here to try the new products launched by this store?"

The visitor was none other than Hanekawa Hasumi, the Vice Minister of the Justice Realization Department.

"Well, today happens to be a day off after all."

Lian Jian nodded and then asked in confusion, "What are you doing? You are so beautiful. As a lady of the Holy Trinity, you can't yell in public and affect others."

"……sorry……"

When her immature behavior was seen by a senior from the same school, Hao Mei was so ashamed that she almost buried her head in her chest.

I quickly tried to smooth things over, "I'm sorry, Lian Jian, it's my fault for joking too much. I will keep quiet from now on."

"Since the teacher said so. Are you asking the teacher for help with your review? You are such a serious kid. Come on, if you need anything, you can always come to me. I'll be sitting at the table in the corner."

No wonder I haven’t seen such a conspicuous Lian Jian before.

After Lian Jian left, I stood up and looked into the corner, and saw a table full of desserts.

how to say.

It's a pity that Ren Jian didn't join the after-school dessert club.

I sat down again and said to Hao Mei, who had regained her composure, "Okay, please accept my apology for now. The most urgent thing now is to review for the exam, right?"

"...Yeah, that's right. And the teacher came here today to help me with my studies."

Haomei seemed to be a little depressed, but fortunately she was not angry anymore.

Afterwards, I checked Hao Mei’s mistakes and gave her some small tutoring.

Not long after, Lian Jian had finished his dessert at a speed faster than I expected. He came over to say a few words of concern, and after making sure that everything was going smoothly and there were no difficulties, he left.

I was just about to continue helping Haomei study, but I found that Haomei seemed a little absent-minded.

"What's wrong?"

"...Teacher, as expected, I am still very naive."

Hao Mei's tone was a little depressed: "I want to be a mature, steady, elegant and dignified lady like Hasumi-senpai. However, I always can't control my emotions. Just now I lost my temper at the teacher who was obviously here to help me."

I think it's quite cute, like a little animal with its fur standing on end.

I tactfully did not voice this thought out loud and continued to listen quietly to the girl's story.

"Teacher, you also think I'm tactless, right? I was clearly in the position of being helped, but you got angry at me just because of a trivial joke. I'm sure you will hate such a childish child."

"There's no such thing. Small ones are cute too."

Hao Mei stared at me and sighed, "I don't want to be judged like this at all. Teacher, please understand the girl's heart a little. I'm a little angry again now."

"But you have controlled your emotions, which is already close to being an adult."

"……Really?"

"Of course it's true, but compared to adults, you still have an important shortcoming."

I pushed the tray of desserts toward Haomei. "When you want desserts, you can eat desserts. So, please enjoy it. Even if it is for better study, you have to consume enough sugar!"

Haomei looked at me, then at the cakes, snorted proudly, picked up one and put it in her mouth, her eyes suddenly lit up and she revealed a happy smile:

"Mmm~ so delicious~"

This expression is really cute.

Then, Hao Mei noticed my smiling gaze, her pretty face slightly blushed, and she warned:

"Next time, I won't forgive you so easily!"

"Yes~Yes~ Then, continue to study."

Haomei responded, and then he ate dessert while checking for the shortcomings for Haomei. Perhaps because of the dessert as motivation, the progress was more gratifying than expected.
