I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

As Hirakawa Tetsufumi was confused, the girl's voice of explanation emerged simultaneously.

"As the hardest working soloist, and the one who came with Mr. Hirakawa to buy water, Shiori should have the right to choose the drink as she pleases, right?"

"..."

There is no way to refute it, this young lady is certainly qualified.

If this had not happened, I believe that Tetsufumi Hirakawa would have agreed with Shinohara Shiori's words and agreed to the girl's slightly willful request.

But now this happened...

"Shinohara-san, buy it yourself."

"I didn't bring any money."

"..."

Faced with such words, Hirakawa Tetsufumi finally turned his head to look at Shinohara Shiori, questioning her with his eyes. "Really?"

The girl pursed her slightly dry lips, and her tone of voice couldn't tell whether it was true or false when she answered.

"Ah."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the girl's dry and slightly dehydrated lips.

"Shinohara-san, it's better to drink water in this situation instead of beverages."

"What if Shiori wants it?" The willful young lady smiled.

"..."

"..."

-

Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked out of the convenience store carrying two bottles of mineral water. Behind him, Shinohara Shiori was holding a drink in her hand.

Because of my identity as a teacher, I cannot refuse students’ reasonable requests.

This teacher is so deeply bound by his identity.

"Shinohara-san, you've changed a lot since...that day."

Taking a sip of the cool drink, Shinohara Shiori heard the words of the teacher in front of her.

"Actually, it's not that I've changed that much."

After screwing the bottle cap on, Shinohara Shiori said this.

The tone is calm, neither hurried nor slow.

"Teacher Pingchuan should not have forgotten that when we first met, I told you that if you insist on interfering with my will, please find another job in time."

"In the eyes of the teacher, I was a problem student from the beginning."

"So it's not that Shiori has changed, it's just that I figured it out, that's all."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was completely speechless at the girl's remarks.

That's it in a nutshell.

I'm going to stop pretending and come clean - is that right?

Chapter 191 Special Treatment, the Girl's Little Thoughts

"So, why?"

"why?"

"Why did you want to hide it before, but now you want to show it?"

Tetsubun Hirakawa really didn't know what happened to Shiori Shinohara, or what he was thinking, to make such a decision.

Why did you suddenly choose to express your feelings directly?

If you have any questions, you should ask them. Understanding her thoughts will surely be of great reference value for how to get along with this girl in the future.

"If you want to know why... Mr. Hirakawa told me." However, this is what Shinohara Shiori answered.

"……I?"

The answer was completely unexpected, and Hirakawa Tetsufumi asked back in surprise.

Well, he really didn't know why it turned out that he was the one who told the girl.

In response to his question, Shinohara Shiori's fair but still blushing face revealed a faint smile under the sunlight near noon.

"Teacher Hirakawa said that no matter what you are struggling with, it is better to speak it out freely, just like the Lenovo game."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced at the girl's still somewhat exhausted face.

To be honest, he did say this, but it was two months ago.

Besides, this sentence is definitely not applicable in this situation.

So what this means is... the girl didn't want to tell him the real reason, so she used this sentence as an excuse.

so be it.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi nodded gently, and then changed the question.

"So, Shinohara-san, may I ask, what are you going to do next?"

"Mr. Hirakawa wants to know my plan and find a way to deal with it, right?"

Shinohara Shiori, this intelligent girl could understand what he meant very well.

"is it not OK?"

"Um……"

Shinohara Shiori placed her bent index finger on her beautiful chin, pondered for a moment, then put her hand down and gave the answer.

"It's not impossible to tell Mr. Pingchuan, because after telling him, Mr. Pingchuan will be able to understand my...feelings more clearly."

When she finished speaking, the girl turned her head and fiddled with her long black hair.

Then, he unscrewed the cap of the drink, took a sip, and his cheeks bulged slightly, then quickly sank.

Then she spoke.

"For example, just now, I made a somewhat willful but reasonable request. If this is the case, Mr. Hirakawa cannot refuse."

"..."

"Well... Mr. Hirakawa wants to ask, what's the use of this, right?"

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi didn't answer, but the girl's guess was correct, so she let her continue.

He stared at the girl's profile, waiting for her answer.

Got it very quickly.

Shinohara Shiori turned around, her delicate face with a little messy hair, a light smile, and full of energy.

She opened her lips, which were wet with the drink, and a pleasant sound came out of her mouth. Emotion was hidden in this sound.

"Because, Shiori likes the feeling of being treated specially. No matter what the reason is, even if it's just a bottle of drink, as long as it's done by Mr. Hirakawa, I like it."

"..."

"Besides, Mr. Hirakawa is very cute when he wants to refuse but can't."

"..."

"like."

"..."

"Teacher Hirakawa, can you sense Shiori's feelings?"

"..."

"Shiori wants you to realize this feeling, and I believe that one day, Mr. Hirakawa will be moved by this feeling."

"..."

Once again, in the square of Tokyo Station, people were coming and going in the distance, and the girl confessed her feelings passionately.

In the unbearable silence, Tetsufumi Hirakawa turned away and no longer responded to the girl's shy gaze, which was so shy that her face had turned red, but remained firm.

The burning gaze is warmer than the sun.

It is not something that cannot be revealed, but an open conspiracy that is in the open.

The girl showed her feelings without any concealment, so frankly that people were afraid to approach her.

This is what Shiori Shinohara pursues.

"Teacher Pingchuan, what do you think?"

"...No matter what, I will not respond to this abnormal emotion."

"Really?" With slow but cheerful steps, the hem of her uniform skirt swayed.

Although the answer was a rejection, Shinohara Shiori did not lose heart.

This has been the case with Shinohara Shiori since she first expressed her feelings.

The thoughts are clear, the goals are clear, and the ideas are firm.

Make up your mind, then try your best to achieve it, and firmly believe that you can achieve it, and firmly believe that your sincere feelings will eventually reach the other person's heart.

"so--"

After Hirakawa Tetsufumi digested the girl's answer, he suddenly remembered something similar.

"Let me ask you something. From the very beginning—"

Shinohara Shiori knew what he wanted to ask and nodded slightly: "Yes, the purpose of the wind band is to increase the time I spend with Mr. Hirakawa."

"..."

"I hid the umbrella myself."

"..."

"Motion sickness is just an excuse. I want to sit with Mr. Hirakawa."

"...That's enough. Stop talking."

The straightforward confession of his feelings was interrupted by Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

"Enough is enough, Shinohara-san." Hirakawa Tetsufumi maintained a calm face, "This kind of thing will not happen again."

Shinohara Shiori smiled and took another sip of her drink because she was thirsty.

"If Mr. Pingchuan is always limited by his identity as a teacher, then this kind of thing is inevitable."

"..."

"Am I right, Mr. Hirakawa?"

"..."

Silence means there is no way to refute.

This is the case with Tetsufumi Hirakawa. His identity as a teacher restricts him from crossing the line, and it also restricts him from ignoring his students.

This is his code.

Just like that, quietly, the wind band formation was already not far away.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi turned around and took one last look:

A few steps away from him, in the sunlight, the girl was walking very slowly. It was not known whether her strength had not yet recovered or for some other reason, but her face was a little pale.

"…What's wrong?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi stopped.
