I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

"..."

Hiding?

Faced with this sudden question, Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Are you kidding or are you serious?

He blinked and stared at the female teacher in front of him.

I was still thinking about this question in my mind...but I didn't wait too long.

Before he could think of what to say, the seemingly serious Mosuki Hisada covered her mouth lightly and laughed for no apparent reason.

First of all, I have to admit that the gentle smile of this young teacher is really something you never get tired of seeing. This is very important, so I put it in "first".

Secondly, she was joking.

"Teacher Pingchuan, don't you think this scene is familiar?"

"It is indeed very familiar."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi, who was staring at Hisada Masuki, also smiled and responded softly.

"When I went to Mr. Hisada's house before, it was a scene like this. I don't know why, but Mr. Hisada insisted that I hide."

"…The circumstances were special at the time." Hisata Masu explained, curling her hair a little embarrassedly.

At that time, when I heard students coming to visit me for ulterior motives at the door, I suddenly became panicked.

As a result, this may have confirmed some rumors...

As for that rumor.

Hisada Masuki turned her eyes towards the door.

"So this time, Mr. Pingchuan, do you think I need to hide?" she asked again.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked towards the entrance and answered.

"Of course you do. And remember to hide your shoes at the door. Every failure is a learning experience."

There was no sound behind me, but the image of the female teacher covering her mouth and smiling automatically appeared in my mind.

This is a joke of course, after all there is nothing to hide.

Putting aside the fact that there is no such relationship, it is normal for close colleagues to visit each other when they are sick. And even if there is, there is no need to hide it.

Thinking of this, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked to the entrance again, and when the doorbell rang again, his hand touched the door handle.

Who is coming?

It’s not express delivery, I haven’t bought anything.

It is very likely that he is a student.

After all, he had missed several classes since he went to Kyoto last Thursday. This morning, he asked Mr. Hisada to help him explain the situation to his students on Line.

After being absent from classes for so long and learning today that he was ill, it was normal for students to come and visit him.

Anyway, if he was a student, there must be Amamiya Yoru - only this student knew his address.

As for whether there will be other people...

If one had to ask which student would come to visit him when he was sick, apart from the two class monitors, it would undoubtedly be Shinohara Shiori and Amamiya Yoru.

Thinking of this, Tetsufumi Hirakawa pushed the door handle down and pushed it open.

The world outside the door frame, a corner of the sky, opened up before my eyes. And below them were two girls wearing Moriya student uniforms.

Black suit jacket, knee-length plaid skirt. Familiar faces, one dignified and elegant, the other childish and cute.

Among them, the dignified young lady from a prominent family bowed politely.

The voice is clear, the pronunciation is clear, and the manners are appropriate.

"Teacher Hirakawa, we heard that you were ill. Shiori and Amemiya-san came to visit you on behalf of all the students in Class 2-A. We are sorry to bother you, and I hope you get well soon."

I finished greeting the whole class with a very official statement, and then came the private greetings.

Shinohara Shiori stood up and looked carefully at the teacher who had not been seen at the door for a long time.

His eyes were clear, with a gentle smile on his lips, and he still had a lazy aura about him.

It has always been like this and has never changed.

The corners of the girl's mouth unconsciously raised slightly.

He spoke again.

"Teacher Pingchuan, long time no see."

The pleasant sound penetrated the humid air and gently tapped the eardrum.

It would be an exaggeration to say that it was a reunion after a long separation, but seeing this teacher again after many days, I could not hide my joy to see him back.

"Student Shinohara."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi opened his mouth, then immediately paused and glanced at Amamiya Yo who was standing quietly next to Shinohara Shiori - I have to say, this middle school girl is really quiet in front of others.

"And Amamiya-san, hello."

He looked again at Miss Shinohara, whom he hadn't seen for five days.

"Although the teacher has indeed not been to school for several days, but...long time no see?"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa repeated this statement with a hint of doubt.

"That's too much. I wasn't sick for that long. Even if you include the time I was away on business and on vacation, it was only five days."

"The students in the class have been waiting for Mr. Pingchuan to come to class, and the time seems to be very long in anticipation."

Shinohara Shiori smiled faintly, as always, hiding something under the guise of a very legitimate excuse.

Then she raised her hand, holding a paper bag with a fruit logo on it.

"Teacher Pingchuan, this is a token of our classmates' love."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the bag of fruit.

There are also gifts of comfort.

As a teacher, being remembered by students when you are sick is the greatest recognition. Although the term "all members" is too nice, it has to be said that being a teacher is what you get.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa could feel that there was indeed a hint of happiness on his face at this moment.

Unable to help but smile, he exchanged a glance with Shinohara Shiori's clear eyes, then looked seriously at the bag of fruit in her hand and took it with both hands.

"The teacher is very grateful for the thoughts of all the students in the class."

"I just hope Mr. Hirakawa can recover soon."

"It's not serious actually. I should be able to go to school tomorrow."

"Well, I'm glad to hear that."

The dignified young lady lifted her beautiful long hair and responded politely.

Then, there were a few more greetings.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood at the door, holding gifts from students, ready to say goodbye.

He spoke apologetically.

"Then Shinohara-san, Amamiya-san, thank you again for coming to visit the teacher. But since it's not convenient, I won't invite you to come in and sit down. Sorry."

"Well, it's okay, Mr. Hirakawa, please rest and recuperate." Shinohara Shiori bowed again.

I had expected this result, so I didn't feel disappointed or anything.

Thinking of this, the girl stood up without caring.

"Well, Mr. Hirakawa—"

She spoke, intending to leave.

As a result, at this moment, she suddenly heard a voice coming from behind Teacher Pingchuan.

"Teacher Pingchuan, a student came to visit you, but you accepted the gift and sent him away. That's not good."

"..."

The voice was familiar, definitely Mr. Hisada who was in charge of the English class.

And this answer was soon confirmed.

Looking inside from the door, a female teacher walked out and stood behind Hirakawa Tetsufumi.

Shinohara Shiori's smile froze on her face in an instant.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa said this as he turned his head helplessly.

"Teacher Hisada, I told you it's because it's not convenient..."

"It won't be inconvenient if I'm here."

"...That's true."

After hesitating for a moment, Tetsufumi Hirakawa agreed with Masaki Hisada's statement.

With a female teacher present, there is no "private space" to interact with female students, so there is no need to be so concerned.

Thinking of this, Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at Shinohara Shiori and Amemiya Yo.

"Then Shinohara-san, Amamiya-san, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

"..."

Shinohara Shiori remained silent, trying to maintain a smile as natural as possible.

Yu Gong Ye didn't care at all, and even had the leisure to glance at the young lady beside him.

Things get interesting.

Chapter 163 Shinohara Shiori feels terrible

At the doorstep of Tetsufumi Hirakawa's house, under the unpleasantly gloomy sky of the rainy season.

Shinohara Shiori stood motionless, her eyes sweeping across Hirakawa Tetsufumi in front of her, and...behind the male teacher, Hisada Masaki inside the door.

A moment of silence.

The moist air brushed across her cheeks, blowing up her hair. She reached out and tucked her hair behind her ears.

She was trying hard to remain calm.

Why is Hisada-sensei at Hirakawa-sensei's house...

She thought about this with a smile on her face.

Amemiya Ye was still standing beside her, looking at her face repeatedly with a look of someone watching a show.

Fortunately, the eldest lady's decency kept her smile intact.

So, what should she do in the face of such an invitation?

Just leave without seeing it? Comfort yourself that it's nothing, don't think too much, it's just a visit.

——That’s not possible.

The girl made a decision.

Her eyes were fixed on Tetsufumi Hirakawa's face.

Finally, she bent down and bowed.

"Teacher Hirakawa, sorry to bother you."

-

After changing her shoes at the entrance, Shinohara Shiori officially stepped into Hirakawa Tetsufumi's home, and the four of them walked into the living room together.

In the living room, three energetic kittens were still playing on the floor.

As for Michael, he lay quietly with his eyes closed, curled up on the back of the sofa.

However, with the arrival of Amamiya Ye, this peace was naturally broken.
