I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Are you looking at this teacher who was once proud of his identity, and seeing him completely fall and degenerate?

To be honest, Hisada Masu didn't want this to happen.

After all, she still could not forget the words "teaching good students is a teacher's duty"...even though this sentence is a great irony for the current situation.

But she still thought about this sentence, hoping that the teacher next to her could recall his original intention and recall the time when he stood on the podium.

They haven't broken up yet, she is still his girlfriend, and she still likes him... the old him.

The footsteps sounded under the lights of the night, one after another, just like the beating of a unceasing heartbeat.

In Hisada Masu's heart, she was making some kind of decision.

Decided to end it, or...

"..."

Hisada Masu looked at Hirakawa Tetsufumi again.

He stared at the ground silently, with no emotion visible from his profile. He just followed her step by step, accompanying her forward like a robot.

A robot waiting for people to control it, which makes people wonder if it will be scrapped if it is kept away from it.

Hisada Masu just kept watching.

……

His perception of the passage of time became dull, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa was not sure how long he had been walking. He only knew that there was almost no sound in his ears, just the monotonous and depressing sound of footsteps going back and forth.

Finally, at a certain moment, Tetsufumi Hirakawa became aware of the gaze that was always on him.

He captured her gaze and put it into his eyes.

"..."

"..."

"Moshu." Looking at each other, Hirakawa Tetsufumi opened his mouth.

Then he saw that Hisata Moki's eyes began to fluctuate.

The moment he called out the name, as if by a destined coincidence, a look of "determination" flashed in her eyes.

Has she already thought about what to do next?

I guess that the look in Hirakawa Tetsufumi's eyes was like a prisoner waiting for the final trial.

Hisada Moki took a deep breath, and the cold winter air penetrated her mouth and nose. She tried to wake herself up a little.

"Zhewen, I'll ask you one last time."

She studied him closely, not missing a single micro-expression on his face.

"Tell me, what are you thinking?"

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi didn't respond again, and there was a confusion in his eyes - can he turn back now?

I went back and said to Shinohara Shiori: It’s nothing, we’re done, let’s just leave it at that.

Then, he said to Ye Yue: Ye Yue, that’s enough, the jokes about being kept as a mistress stop here, there is no relationship between us anymore.

Can he do it?

The answer in his mind was so obvious that Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't need to think much about it, the answer came to his mind immediately.

He absolutely couldn't do it now.

"..."

Hisada Mashu swallowed the follow-up question.

The answer is clear just from the look in his eyes. The follow-up questions and persuasions are no longer useful...

——But as expected, humans are creatures that will still give it a try even if they know the answer.

After walking a few steps forward and raising her face again, facing Hirakawa Tetsufumi's gaze, Hisada Moki couldn't help it.

"Zhewen, are you really going to keep going like this? Going further and further away from your former goal without doing anything?"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi was silent for a moment, and his words were difficult to utter.

"…But what can I do now?"

"Be firm and break free from them." Hisada Masu's words were firm.

"Get rid of them..."

"Yes," said Hisada Masu. "After all, you don't owe them anything."

"Perhaps to them, you are a very important part of their lives. You have changed them and are the salvation they cannot give up."

"But what about you?"

"Do they really make it impossible for you to escape from them?"

"I don't think you have that much responsibility towards them."

"Before this, you have done your best to fulfill your responsibilities. You have helped them and you have a clear conscience."

"As for some accidents that happened during that time..."

"It was just an accident."

"You don't need to be responsible for the rest of their lives."

"What happens to them afterwards is their own business."

"What do you think?"

"..."

"..."

"Jasmine tree..."

"Okay, I get it."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi had just opened his mouth when Hisada Masaki knew what he was going to say.

She interrupted him and turned her face away sadly.

Sure enough, if you know it is useless, you should not try it. The answer is in line with my expectations. It has no effect except making myself sad again.

…But, everyone understands the truth.

Feeling the emotions and fluctuations in her heart, she slowed down her pace as she stared at Hisada Moki under the street lamp.

In fact, many people understand most of the truths. Doesn’t Pingchuan know what she said?

I think he knows.

However, this is how human beings are. Individual differences and the existence of emotions make everyone make different choices when faced with the same thing.

Humans are not completely rational creatures - they find their own direction on the path of rationality based on the guidance of their emotions.

The most [correct] decision for Hisada Masu at this moment should be to abandon Hirakawa Tetsufumi and turn around and leave. From now on, whether this person falls into depravity or something else, it has nothing to do with her.

But she can't.

Emotional thinking and lingering emotions guide her direction.

In the night wind, the wind that could calm the mind, Hisada Masu suddenly stopped.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa also stopped.

"Jasmine tree..."

"You're done listening, are you?"

Hisada Masu did not give Hirakawa Tetsufumi a chance to speak, she stared into his eyes.

After a slight pause, he made his own judgment.

"Yes, you really can't listen anymore."

"It's too late, you're already trapped."

"You are now beyond the reach of just a few words from me."

"I……"

"No, you don't have to speak." Hisada Masu shook her head somewhat dejectedly, and once again interrupted Hirakawa Tetsufumi's speech, "Listen to me from now on, okay?"

"..."

After hesitating, Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded.

Along with the sound of the wind blowing, the voice of Hisata Masaki, the light voice, also blew into Hirakawa Tetsufumi's ears.

These were the last words that Hisada Moki left for him tonight.

……

"Zhewen, I know."

"Love is not something that can be ended easily. You won't give up just because of a few words from me. Even I am not such a resolute person."

"Although I thought countless times before coming here, let's just end it like this...but I'm really sad."

"I don't like you now, but I still can't let go of you in the past, the you who could say with a clear conscience that you were an upright teacher."

"I still can't accept that you will become like this."

"I am very depressed."

"That's it. With the last bit of love I have for you... or rather, my lingering love for your past self, I am standing here, in front of you, and speaking these words to you."

When she said this, the female teacher in front of her paused, and her tone became more solemn and serious.

"Zhewen, I always believe that making a mistake is not a big deal."

“No one can guarantee that they will never make mistakes. Those who are considered ‘problem students’ by ordinary people may be able to have a satisfying life many years later.”

"It's just that, in this process, I need the guidance of others."

"You need someone to pull you out."

"You also said it, right? The former bad boy has become a teacher today. The teacher who said in front of you that you can still be saved is because of her that you are what you are today."

"Now, let me be her."

"I also tell you that you can still be saved. Or rather, I hope you can still be saved."

"If you can't break free from those who are trying to pull you into the quagmire, then let me pull you out."

"You always save other people's lives. Now, it's my turn to save yours."

……

"But, you know, it won't work if I'm alone."

"In the end, this kind of thing still requires you, and you yourself want to come out."

"This is your last chance. Don't let me down again."

"I can't hold you forever."

"When I am tired, so tired that I can no longer hold you and don't want to hold you anymore, that is when I give up."

"Remember?"

“The identity of a teacher is an honor. As a teacher - as a former teacher, you should understand this.”

"Think carefully back to the first time you stood on the podium and faced your students. What were you thinking at that time?"

"Don't let them ruin the life you should be proud of."

"A life where one could hold one's chest high and say that one is a teacher."

"..."

Hisada Masu left, turned around with red eyes, and under the gaze of Hirakawa Tetsufumi, her back disappeared in the night wind.
