I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

After a long time, Tetsufumi Hirakawa opened his mouth and asked uncertainly.

"Uh... um, the last period of time?"

"Yes." Shinohara Shiori nodded without hesitation.

"……What's the meaning?"

What does the last period of time mean?

A terminal illness, an unfulfilled wish, the hope of seeing each other one last time... This is too much...

"No." When he was wondering if this world was too bloody, Hirakawa Tetsufumi suddenly heard the girl chuckle.

The smile on the delicate face was a little too beautiful.

"It's not the terminal illness that Mr. Hirakawa imagined."

"...Huh, I thought so." Hirakawa Tetsufumi breathed a sigh of relief, "What is that?"

"It was Shiori's mother who found a marriage partner for Shiori. If nothing unexpected happens, Shiori will no longer appear in Mr. Hirakawa's life."

Shinohara Shiori gently stroked her long hair, and the light sound once again shattered the air of relief.

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi blinked.

"Yeah." Shinohara Shiori nodded affirmatively, and Hirakawa Tetsufumi's thoughts were suddenly confused.

"……what?"

The marriage contract that cannot be disobeyed, the regret of not being able to be with the person you really love, the farewell at the last moment...

This is no less ridiculous than the terminal illness just now, right?

Is this an outdated script written by some third-rate screenwriter?

If he were to write this kind of plot and put it in front of Ogasa Sayoko, it would definitely be rejected. The comment would probably be -

"Mr. Hirakawa, under what circumstances did you write this kind of script? If you are tired, please take a good rest."

Although the tone is kind, the words are quite discouraging...

Ogasa Sayiko is really strict when she is working.

"Teacher Hirakawa, what Shiori said is indeed true. Even if you want to deny it, the facts will not change."

Shinohara Shiori looked directly at Hirakawa Tetsufumi, who was trying to escape because he felt that this was too fake, and delivered the final blow.

"Perhaps, in the eyes of Mr. Hirakawa, this kind of thing is a little ridiculous... Of course, in the eyes of Shiori, this kind of thing is indeed ridiculous."

"But such ridiculous things exist in reality."

"You know Shiori's mother, Mr. Hirakawa. I think it's not surprising that she would do something like this."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa continued to remain silent.

Shinohara Shiori continued to speak.

"Of course, Shiori is absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, unwilling to accept such an arrangement."

"So Shiori ran out."

“I don’t know where to go, I don’t know what to do.”

"The only thing I want to do is to meet you, Mr. Pingchuan."

"So Shiori came to see you."

"No matter what, I want you to stay with Shiori for the last time."

"That's it, Mr. Hirakawa."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa fell into a long silence.

Chapter 282 Goodbye, Mr. Pingchuan

Shinohara Shiori, the eldest daughter of the Shinohara family, was arranged to marry by her mother. Unless something unexpected happens, she will no longer appear in his life.

This is the question that Shiori Shinohara has been delaying asking for a long time.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was speechless and had no idea what to say.

In the quiet room, the only sound left was silent breathing.

Regardless, this kind of thing is...

Too far away? Tetsufumi Hirakawa never thought that he would encounter such a thing in his real life.

In his mind, he always felt that such things would only happen in fictional stories, and those were outdated and old-fashioned stories at that.

But now, this kind of thing really happened to him in reality.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked at Shinohara Shiori's serious expression at this moment——

"Really?"

He couldn't help asking. He really hoped to get a negative answer, but the reality was not what he wanted.

"Yeah." He saw the girl in front of him nodded slightly.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa suddenly felt like laughing... Just like what Shinohara Shiori just said, this kind of thing was indeed ridiculous.

What era is it now?

Why would Shinohara's mother do such a thing?

Has the desire for control reached such an extent?

"Mr. Shinohara, what exactly does your mother think?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi took a breath, suppressed other emotions in his heart, and asked.

Shinohara Shiori thought for a moment before answering him.

"Perhaps it's because I saw that Shiori wasn't very interested in inheriting the family business, so..."

"That can't be the case, right?"

"Teacher Hirakawa, such things are actually not uncommon among chaebols."

The so-called upper class people, really...

"Can't we communicate again?"

As soon as she said this, a sarcastic smile appeared on Shinohara Shiori's lips.

"Teacher Hirakawa, if communication is useful, Shiori's mother will not be Shiori's mother."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was unable to refute it.

That's right, Shinohara Shiori's mother has had this kind of personality since the first time they met. It is completely impossible to communicate with her, and she can completely ignore other people's opinions in order to carry out her own will.

There is no way to change her mind except using the system.

It took a long time for Tetsufumi Hirakawa to accept Shinohara Shiori's words.

"So now, Shinohara-san, what are you going to do?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked at the girl in front of him, his tone a little heavy and his eyes filled with sadness.

"I don't know." Shinohara Shiori's tone seemed relaxed, but in fact it was more like she was pretending to be relaxed.

Then, she looked at him and smiled softly: "But at this time, Shiori still has the opportunity to find Mr. Hirakawa. Shiori feels very relieved to be with you."

"..."

Shinohara Shiori, who was right in front of him, suddenly looked at him with a fiery gaze.

It was so hot that Tetsufumi Hirakawa wanted to escape.

Hello, what is this for?

"Shinohara-san... this..."

The hesitant words were interrupted.

"Teacher Hirakawa, you know what? It was really too much for you to leave without saying goodbye."

"I……"

"Shiori is indeed disappointed in you because of this matter."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stared at the ground beside him, not daring to look at Shinohara Shiori.

She was right. It was indeed too much for him to leave without saying goodbye. She was not too disappointed.

Shinohara Shiori sat a little closer to Hirakawa Tetsufumi.

She looked up at him.

"But, until this moment, when she encountered this kind of thing, Shiori re-examined her heart and realized that she still couldn't let go of Mr. Hirakawa."

"..."

As she spoke, Shinohara Shiori grabbed Hirakawa Tetsufumi's arm.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa began to feel a little restless.

"Shinohara-san... um... you..."

Hello, hey, hey, hey, what is going on now?

How did it end up happening to him?

You still can't let him go?

Want him to stay with her for a while?

No, no, no.

Didn’t Shinohara Shiori say at the beginning that she had completely given up on him?

Now, it's rekindled?

This is also...

Of course I feel sorry for her when something like this happens, but isn't this plot development a little wrong?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa's body froze.

He didn't know whether to shake off Shinohara Shiori's hand. If he did, wouldn't the girl be too pitiful? But if he didn't, wouldn't it be inappropriate?

However, just as he was still struggling with this matter, Tetsuo Hirakawa suddenly sensed that Shinohara Shiori had let go of his hand.

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at Shinohara Shiori.

Shinohara Shiori is smiling.

She gracefully withdrew her hand, ran her fingers through the ends of her hair, and tucked her long hair behind her ears.

"Of course, Mr. Hirakawa, Shiori knows that. If I say now that I can't let go of Mr. Hirakawa, it's just Shiori's wishful thinking."

"After all, you had to quit your teaching job because of Shiori."

"This job obviously has a very special meaning to you."

"This also shows your determination to reject Shiori, right?"

"and."

After a brief pause to take a breath, Shinohara Shiori continued speaking. The smile on her delicate face made people feel a little distressed.

"Teacher Hirakawa, you have a new life now. There is no room for Shiori to interfere anymore."

"Besides, you also said that you would never look back."

"So, Shiori doesn't dare to ask for anything more from you."

"I just want you to accompany Shiori for the last period of time."
