Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

"No......"

As expected, when it comes to Fanbo's matter, Luo Jun becomes particularly sober.

[We are about to land on the isolated island owned by our school. Please change into your sportswear in 30 minutes, and after checking the bags and luggage, bring your cell phones to the deck. Please leave all other personal belongings in your room. Since you can still go to the bathroom for the time being, please take care of your needs first.]

After hearing the school’s broadcast announcement, I watched the crowd on the deck gradually enter the cabin, and of course I also saw the figure of classmate Luo.

"What are you daydreaming about, Chihiro? It's time for us to set off."

"Let's wait a little longer. There are so many people here anyway. It would be very uncomfortable for us if it's too crowded."

"Too."

For some reason, I suddenly had a strange idea of letting the boat drift freely with the water. Maybe it was because classmate Luo often did this.

But this time...why did he leave so early?

On my way back to the room, Fanbo had already changed his clothes and set off, and greeted us on the way.

Seeing this, I subconsciously quickened my actions and left the room and ran to the deck without even waiting for Xiaoqiao Meng and the others to be ready.

I don't know why it does this, but there must be a reason.

It wasn't until I got to the deck that I realized what was urging me to act.

At this moment, Fanbo reached out and took the cup and food handed over by Luo.

in addition,

even,

While Class Leader Ichinose was still eating, Luo helped to tidy up his messy hair.

"..."

As expected, it would be weird for me to destroy Ichinose's feelings.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile, and then quickly returned to the room.

Let’s wait until Xiaoqiao Meng and the others are ready to come together.

"Well, it smells so good."

“Does it smell good?”

"Mm, it smells nice."

"That's good."

"Well......"

After ending this casual conversation, Ichinose adjusted her sleeping position in my arms without permission and rubbed her chubby cheeks against my chest.

Because this school doesn't have seasonal clothing, I'm still wearing a pure white shirt after taking off my uniform jacket, but even so, the touch that my skin can feel is still very rich. What is reflected in my cerebral cortex now is exactly the same as the feeling that the babies in the orphanage felt when they actively approached warm things in winter many years ago.

I twisted my neck, which had been stiff for a long time, left and right, and the moment I opened my eyes, I happened to see the summer sunrise.

In this season, in this area...the sunrise would probably be around six o'clock.

Time passed by unknowingly.

Maybe it was my subjective body memory, but after the sun rose, I suddenly felt that the surrounding environment became hotter, and the temperature of the part of my body that was in contact with Ichinose also rose sharply.

But the temperature hasn't reached the extreme level of walking in the desert during the day, so it's okay to continue.

Just as I adjusted to this and closed my eyes to take a short break, Ichinose, who was in my arms, began to get restless. Ichinose kept adjusting her body posture and even tried to straighten her body, but she was blocked by my arms and torso, so she didn't succeed.

Finally, Ichinose reached out from under the coat covering her body, and put her arms around my neck, while moving her entire body upwards.

The warm breath immediately reached my neck, and my skin became even warmer without the barrier of the shirt.

"...Won't it be uncomfortable to sleep like this?"

"Hum, my body is a little sore. This will make me more comfortable... Could you please help me pull out the quilt that's pressed down on me from behind? Chihiro, it's a little hot there." As she said that, Ichinose tried hard to squeeze my arm that was holding her, as if to vent the lack of sleeping space.

The coat that was used as a blanket had fallen completely onto my thighs, so there was no chance for it to touch Ichinose's back.

As expected, for most people, the temperature rise caused by long-term contact would be uncomfortable.

"There's no blanket behind Ichinose, and I'm not Shiranami-san."

"That's it..."

"If you feel the heat, do you want me to adjust the position of my arms a little?"

“Well, that’s troublesome… Oh, that’s not right! Ah, it hurts—”

I was just about to slide my arm down behind Ichinose's back, but Ichinose suddenly raised his head and bumped my chin, interrupting my action.

She first covered her head in pain, then her whole body stiffened while rubbing it, and she lowered her head without any response. Finally, under my incomprehensible gaze, she buried her head deeply between her bent legs.

"Are you okay?"

"..."

No, the pain isn't so severe that I can't speak.

Maybe out of embarrassment, I reached out and rubbed the place where she bumped my chin.

"Don't, don't touch me..."

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect Ichinose to bump into me so suddenly."

"Is this the problem now? Why is Luo here?"

"What Ichinose said is really weird. I never left from the beginning."

"That's not what I meant. I was saying... I was saying... I was saying, uh... ah, why am I here!"

Ichinose couldn't find the right words to describe it, so he just shouted it out.

"Has Ichinose forgotten what happened yesterday?"

"Yesterday? What happened between us yesterday?" Ichinose looked at me nervously.

"I see, it's Ichinose who doesn't understand the current situation. Let me explain it to you."

"......"

"Last night, Ichinose wanted to find a place to be alone, so he came to the open-air theater, but he accidentally ran into me who had mistaken the show's show time, and then we chatted casually. Do you understand what I mean by that?"

"It doesn't matter what happens. What's important is... what happens next?"

"Ichinose probably still remembers asking me to stay and sit with you for a while after our chat."

"Um......"

"After that, I waited until half past eleven and you didn't respond. Just when I was about to ask for your opinion, I found that you had already fallen asleep."

"Then why would I...why would I sleep in Luo Jun's arms?"

So it was just the shyness of a girlish complex? It reminded me to get straight to the point. I said so much in vain...

"Although it's summer and the temperature last night was fine, it's still not a good idea to sleep outside, so I wanted to send Ichinose back home, so I picked you up. Come to think of it, wasn't Ichinose awake at that time?"

"Am I...am I awake?!"

"Well, I picked you up after Ichinose agreed."

"Luo, what did you ask?"

"We talked about something like sleeping outside is not good. I forgot the details, but I remember the last question very clearly."

"[Do you need me to take you back to your room?]"

"........How did I answer?"

"It was just a simple 'hmm'."

"Are you an idiot? This must be an unconscious answer. How could I be awake in that situation?!"

Looking at the angry Ichinose in front of me, I could only laugh awkwardly a few times.

"Actually, I had my doubts at first, but you said [Be gentle] when I picked Ichinose up, so it was hard for me to be sure."

"This kind of thing..."

"Also, Ichinose has a bad temper later on..."

"I...I didn't say anything too harsh..."

"That's too much... maybe it's more like acting like a spoiled child..." Before I could finish my sentence, Ichinose covered my mouth tightly, and her entire cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

"There's no need to say these things..."

"That's the situation then."

"I, I see... Wait, wait a minute, something is wrong. Didn't I ask Luo Jun to take me back to my room? If that's the case, then why are we still in the open-air theater now?"

"Didn't Ichinose say that there was no need to say those things?"

"Well, you should describe the general process and what happened afterwards."

"I was originally going to take Ichinose back to her room, but I had barely taken a step or two when you kept asking me to stop, and you kept hitting me in dissatisfaction."

"How can it be."

"It's true, otherwise I wouldn't have stopped. Look, Ichinose, you still remember where we were last night? I barely walked four seats and then stopped." As I said that, I pointed to the previous position to prove my innocence.

"Even so, shouldn't Luo Jun insist on his own opinion and send me back to my room?"

"Of course I have my own persistence, but I am afraid that if I continue to walk, I will not only send you back first, but also send my clothes back to the factory first."

"What, what do you mean?"

"Ichinose is surprisingly strong when she's asleep." I handed a button from my pocket to her.

“Could this be…?”

"The buttons of the shirt were forcibly pulled off by Ichinose."

"..."

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

"It doesn't matter. It's the first button on the collar anyway. It won't matter if it's not buttoned."

"The first button..."

"That's it, any other questions?"

"...No...No more."

"In that case, shouldn't we go back... Well, that being said, it doesn't seem necessary."

"Go back...what time is it now?"
