Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

"It's your cell phone. It's been ringing non-stop since just now. I've been wanting to mention it for a long time, but since you didn't react, I didn't want to say it directly..."

"No big deal, just some harassing messages."

"I saw that the contact person was Aoko. Could it be that his girlfriend urged him to go home? Haha——"

"If that's the case, we'll help you get away with it."

I nodded, took a sip of wine and didn't answer.

"Speaking of which, how is your girlfriend doing? It's been two or three years now, and you should be talking about marriage now."1

"......No way." I smiled inadvertently.

"Why don't you tell your brothers the truth?"

"That's right. At first I told them everything I knew. Even though I still failed in the end."

"No, no." I waved my hand to signal them to stop talking, but this aroused their interest instead.

"It's not fair. You still treat your brothers as outsiders?"

"...You really want to hear it?"

"Do you want to know..." He paused and frowned, "Or did you say something?"

"...It's no big deal, we just split up."

As I said this, I took another big sip of wine, which was sweet with a slight bitter taste.

"Ah, they broke up? How come we don't know when it happened?"

"Just before coming to the tavern...I was delayed by this matter."

"No...how did you break up? Weren't you all fine yesterday? Wasn't it because you came out to drink with us?"

"She's not that petty...it's a long story."

"Then tell me about it...?"

"After returning home tonight, I saw her hugging another boy, and they looked very intimate. I asked her in the room, and I was very angry at the time. Then she reached out to hold my hand, and I slapped it, and the palm hit her face."

"I just wanted to slap her hand away and calm myself down, but I ended up slapping her accidentally. Then she just stood up to me and said, 'Let's break up.' Then she just walked away with her suitcase without looking back."

"Ah, she just disappeared like that?"

"Ah."

"So all the information just now is..."

"I guess it's some content that I don't dare to watch."

While chatting and laughing, I also put my phone into my inner pocket.

"This, this is it..."

The enthusiasm among the six of us suddenly cooled down, and we all looked at our glasses in silence and awkwardness. Finally, it was the second brother who broke the silence.

"Hey, hey, why are you talking about this? We are drinking today."

"Yeah, why bring up all this, just drink. Hahahaha——"

They filled my glass again and I drank it with great pleasure.

Soon after, laughter and joy filled our midst once again.

"...And then? Why didn't I hear any montage of lies? Besides, this didn't involve lying at all, did it?"

"The protagonist of the story has already lied, when he was talking about the breakup... Ichinose, do you want to guess?"

Ichinose listened to me and tried to think for a while, but finally shook his head, "Raku, just tell the truth. Even if you understand that montage lies are to reverse the order of the truth, I can't seem to guess it."

"It's normal that I can't guess it. After all, I still have a lot of information that I haven't told you. For example, the protagonist of the story has a tendency to domestic violence, and the boy hugging his girlfriend is actually the girl's brother, etc."

"Domestic violence, brother... So the boy misunderstood the girl's behavior and then abused her. In the end, the girl chose to break up because she couldn't stand the long-term beating?"

"That's pretty close to the correct answer. In fact, the man had a quarrel with the girl after returning home from work, and then took the opportunity to abuse her. Because of the long-term abuse, the girl broke up with him and left the house. Later, the hero went to keep a date and ran into the girl downstairs, hiding in the arms of her brother who came to pick her up and complaining."

"This is too...but why would he do this?"

"...I think it's probably because he wants to continue to disguise his previous face in front of his companions."

"But if that's the case..."

"I know there are a lot of things that don't make sense, but this is just an example after all, to help people understand what a montage lie is, so there's no need to be too clear about other details."

"All right......"

“I think Ichinose will understand now.”

"Well, I think I understand... Isn't this what Luo is best at..."

Ichinose muttered something quietly as she realized it, and quickly covered her lips to try to take back the words, but unfortunately I heard them.

"I didn't use the time sequence lie at all, did I?"

"No, no, I'm saying, uh, Luo really knows a lot about montage lies. Hmm."

"...Let's just believe what Ichinose says."

"I also saw it in the previous book. There are many related examples in it. The one I just mentioned comes from that book. If Ichinose is interested, you can go and take a look."

"Is it that unpublished book again?"

"Yeah." I nodded and then yawned.

After feeling the dryness of my hair, I looked at the clock on the wall.

"I don't think Ichinose has ever stayed out this late."

"Yes, I experienced it in junior high school, and even later than now."

"I see. It seems I was wrong... Is your hair dry?"

"Well, it's ready."

"Then get ready to rest. It's getting late. It would be terrible if you miss the call from the locksmith tomorrow."

After I finished speaking, I turned off the TV screen that was playing interesting activities, and sat on the sofa and stretched my body.

"..."

However, Ichinose still sat next to me without moving.

"Aren't you going to go to bed and rest?"

"S-should I sleep in Luojun's bed tonight?"

Ichinose was immediately stumped by my question and seemed at a loss as to what to do.

"I don't have the habit of letting girls suffer. The shirt may feel okay, but it would be uncomfortable to sleep in school uniform pants, right? So sleeping on the bed is the best choice. Ichinose doesn't want to spend the night on the sofa, right?"

"But, but if I sleep on the bed, then..."

"I'll be spending the night on the sofa, so don't worry about me attacking Ichinose in the middle of the night. Also, don't worry about any other contamination on the bed... Well, it seems like I haven't cleaned it today, but it should be considered clean. Anyway, please feel free to use it."

"I don't care about that...then turn off the air conditioner. I'm only wearing a bathrobe. If I leave it alone, I'll catch a cold."

"No problem. If you turn off the air conditioner, the heat will wake you up in the middle of the night and affect your sleep quality. As for me, don't worry. This is not the first time I've done this."

"Isn't this the first time...?"

"Nothing much... Anyway, Ichinose, go to bed and rest. I'll turn off the lights in the dormitory."

As I was about to stand up and go to the light switch in the room, I was just about to reach out and hold me back. She pursed her lips slightly, as if she was making a decision on a crucial issue.

"..."

"Do you have any other questions?"

"Well...I'd better sleep on the sofa."

"I don't agree. It's going to be very troublesome to deal with this, isn't it?"

"There will be no trouble. This will cause me a lot of distress."

"Just accept it, Ichinose. Don't worry about the rest."

"..."

"Don't worry about this. The bathrobe I'm wearing isn't thin at all. It can actually keep me warm."

"..."

At this time, Ichinose took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.

"...Actually, even if two people sleep on this bed... they can squeeze together."

"...Ichinose, are you kidding me?"

I was surprised by what Ichinose said, or it's not surprising that I couldn't understand it at all. No matter how you look at it, this is not something that an ordinary girl would say.

"Even if I cover myself with clothes, I'm still at risk of catching a cold. Moreover, this is Luo's dormitory. If I sleep on the bed, it's a bit..."

"My physique is better than Ichinose's, right? If I catch a cold, wouldn't Ichinose be suffering? And even if we sleep in bed, we only have one blanket, and the space is very small. Isn't Ichinose afraid that I might do something to you?"

"Lord Luo, you probably won't do that kind of thing... I'm only saying this after I've confirmed this."

As he spoke, Ichinose turned his face away with a rosy complexion.

"......It's good to be trusted, but I'm a real guy."

"Of course I know about this, huh."

"So I will definitely do something like that if Ichinose continues to seduce me."

"How is that possible?"

Ichinose strongly denied it as if jokingly.

"...It seems that as a man, I am completely looked down upon."

In that case, let's teach Ichinose a lesson.

Before Ichinose's shyness faded away, I reached out and hugged Ichinose's legs together. Her body subconsciously leaned over, and at the same time I pulled her body towards me little by little.

"Hey, wait, wait, what is Luo doing?!"

After Ichinose was left with only her upper body on my left side, I released her legs. Although the panic in her voice was hard to conceal, her body did not resist at all. It would be more appropriate to say that she did not know how to resist.

Her left hand was still across her chest, but her right hand was resting on my chest. I reached out and touched the button of her shirt, because Ichinose didn't button it, so I easily touched the moist and shiny white skin under her neck.

At that moment her whole body trembled.

"Wait...wait a moment..."

I slowly lowered my second finger, making the contact sensation under her neck more prominent, and Ichinose let out a rough gasp.

"I...I was wrong...So, don't tease me..."

At this time, Ichinose's face was already flushed and her voice was as thin as a mosquito, but I didn't intend to give up the opportunity to tease her easily.

My fingers slowly slid upwards along the edge of her collar. Ichinose's sensitive body even made tears well up in the corners of her eyes. Then I moved to her shoulders and pressed Ichinose hard on the sofa. At the same time, my right hand was placed next to Ichinose's head, leaving her nowhere to escape.

Then I slowly pressed my face down, getting closer and closer to Ichinose's face, and even the hot air I exhaled could bounce back onto my skin immediately.

"It was Ichinose who seduced me first."

The next moment, I slowly stroked Ichinose's red lips with my fingertips.

Chapter 123: A Shaken Heart

The fingertips that stroked across her red lips finally gently rested on her cheek.

As I got closer, Ichinose's face became larger and larger in my vision, and slowly, our noses touched. Her wide-open eyes were clearly engraved in front of my eyes, and her pupils were dilated due to her nervousness, while her hot breath kept blowing towards me.

Time and space seemed to have pressed the pause button at this moment. None of us dared to act rashly, because the value of the achievements of any action would be quite high in the end.

I breathed softly into Ichinose's ear, and then the close contact between us was accompanied by a tremor, which was caused by Ichinose.

It was at this time that Ichinose could no longer bear such an ambiguous atmosphere. He closed his eyes and pursed his lips slightly while holding his breath. He looked like he was scared.

Ichinose slowly closed her eyes in front of me...

"..."
