I have a lot of green plums

"I do not mind."

“But they care!”

"Then..."

"Stop, stop, stop. What do you mean by this, that?" As if she knew what the boy was going to say, Ying Lili interrupted him directly, "I'm telling you, don't let your imagination run wild."

"No matter how good your music is or how great your skills are, in their eyes you are just a minor character. At least, you are not good enough to enter their eyes now, and you are not qualified to be on an equal footing with them."

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it is the truth.

She admitted that the boy in front of her was a genius, and that in time he would become famous and admired by countless people.

But he is not like that yet. He is just a little famous now, which is not enough to make those guys put down their attitude and treat him as an equal.

"I......"

Si Yue Yuzhi opened his mouth. He understood what the girl said. He was very clear that he was an ant compared to that group of people.

But if we always consider the difference in status first and lower ourselves because of our humbleness, then wouldn’t we be unable to accomplish many things?

If you give up too much because you think too much, these things will become regrets in the end, and you will regret it in the future.

He had experienced many things like this before, and because he knew the pain, he didn't want to experience it again this time.

"Do you understand?"

Eriri felt much better when she saw that April Yuzhi no longer had the fearless attitude he had before. She felt that although this boy was very talented in study and music, he was clumsy in social skills.

So she felt that she needed to teach him a lesson.

"I'm doing this for your own good."

"......Yeah." After a moment of silence, Siyue Yuzhi smiled and nodded slightly.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Please stay here for a while. Or if you want to go back first, I'll reimburse you for the car fare."

The surprise had turned into a shock, and the boy could no longer be allowed to show his face.

"It's okay, I'll wait for you to go back together."

He had to return the clothes. It was indeed uncomfortable both mentally and physically to wear someone else's clothes.

Although there were some farces, it did not prevent the banquet from continuing.

However, the engagement ceremony did not go on for some reason, but was postponed to another day with the joint decision of the elders of both families.

It seemed like something unpleasant had happened because of this incident.

After returning to her room, Igarashi Suzune's tense spirit finally relaxed a little, but her heart was still filled with emotions.

"Sister Lingyin."

Hearing the sound outside the door, Igarashi Suzune was stunned for a moment before she spoke up to let the person go.

Looking at the girl who walked towards her with her head lowered like a child who had done something wrong, Igarashi Suzune didn't know how to start.

Was that the surprise the girl had prepared for her? It really made her feel surprised and happy, and she was hesitant and confused.

"Sister Lingyin, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, don't blame yourself."

After all, he couldn't bear to speak to the girl in front of him in even a bad tone. After all, she meant well.

Besides, she really wasn't angry.

"But..." Ying Lili twisted her fingers, her tone uneasy.

"I told you not to worry about it." Igarashi Suzune smiled gently, "I really like the gift Eriri prepared for me."

"..."

Ying Lili naturally didn't believe it, as she had clearly messed up such an important day.

"Eri, is he still there?"

"Eh?" The girl, who was still thinking about how to remedy the situation, raised her head in confusion.

"It's the gift you gave me."

"......Here I am."

"where is it?"

Her original idea was not to let the young man know. After getting engaged, she would go back to teaching, completely sealing the love in her heart and letting it dissipate with the passage of time.

But now, she felt that she should face it. At least, she should express her feelings.

And she still has one last chance, and if she doesn't seize it, she will never have it again.

"my room."

"Thank you, Eriri."

After thanking Eriri with a smile, Igarashi Suzune left the room. When she arrived at the girl's door, she hesitated for a long time before reaching out and knocking on the door.

The door was soon opened and the boy appeared in front of her.

"Teacher Igarashi."

"You still know that I'm your teacher?"

Looking at the young man in front of her, all the hesitation in Igarashi Suzune's heart completely disappeared, replaced by a long-lost sense of ease.

"How can a student steal the show at a teacher's banquet?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

"Idiot, I don't blame you." Igarashi Suzune raised the corner of her mouth, "On the contrary, I want to thank you."

"Thank you for giving me the courage."

"Well, I have something to say to you next. I hope you can listen carefully, okay?"

Upon hearing this, April Yuzhi looked into Igarashi Suzune's eyes, and the expression in her eyes had changed.

In the past, those eyes were filled with satisfaction and encouragement when looking at him, and were the pride of a teacher looking at the outstanding student she had nurtured.

But now, it has become a kind of emotion that he has only seen in the eyes of those girls.

Igarashi-sensei likes him...

"It seems you have already figured it out."

Although it was less awkward not saying it out loud, it was meaningless if she didn't say it out loud, and she didn't want to have any regrets in her future life.

"But I still want to tell you in person."

Igarashi Suzune smiled, her eyes filled with gentle light, crushing all the love contained in them.

She opened her lips that were dabbed with lipstick, and said gently and seriously, "April, I like you."

I've spoken out the feelings that have been buried deep in my heart for a long time...

She loves her students and is a completely unqualified teacher.

"...Igarashi-sensei."

"Of course, you don't have to respond to me, and don't feel any psychological burden."

Before April Yuzhi could speak, Igarashi Suzune said, "I just feel that if I don't say this now, I'll never have another chance."

She did not expect the boy to respond to her because she felt that his response would most likely make her sad.

So I just stopped listening.

"that......"

"Sorry, I have to go back now. I'll see you later."

Igarashi Suzune interrupted April Yuzhi's words again, and turned around without hesitation to leave.

She felt heartbroken at the thought of the boy saying something like that.

"Teacher Igarashi, can you please listen to what I have to say?" April Yuzhi reached out and grabbed Igarashi Suzune who was about to escape, and said helplessly.

"Well, I told you not to take it to heart, and you don't have to say no."

Not daring to look back at the boy behind her, Igarashi Suzune's voice was filled with tears, "I, at least give the teacher some respect."

"But how did Igarashi-sensei know that I would definitely refuse?"

"Eh? Is that okay?!"

Igarashi Suzune immediately turned around and looked at April Yuzhi expectantly. Does the boy's words mean that there is still hope for her?

"..."

He doesn't look like he's afraid of being rejected at all. Could it be that I've been cheated?

To be honest, Si Yue Yuzhi didn't know why he wanted to stop the other party from leaving. It was just that after feeling her inner emotions, he subconsciously grabbed her wrist.

"I don't know." April Yuzhi shook his head honestly.

"You..." Igarashi Suzune was about to cry, "You are such an annoying guy."

Calling her but not giving her any hope, isn't this pure torture?

"Because Mr. Igarashi is my teacher, I don't know if this will have any impact on you."

"Teacher?" After hearing the meaning of April Yuzhi's words, Igarashi Suzune's heart leaped with joy.

"So, if I'm not a teacher, then it's OK?"

"Well, probably."

April Yuzhi scratched his cheek, feeling a little confused about this situation.

He now didn't know what kind of feelings he had towards Mr. Igarashi. The most he felt was definitely gratitude, and he would repay Mr. Igarashi for his help even at the cost of everything.

And if the other party wants him to repay in this way, he will not refuse.

If he really didn't like it, he would feel uncomfortable if he just repaid her in this way. But now he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

So, do you think I like it?

"Thank you, April."

Igarashi Suzune covered her mouth, the joy in her heart was about to break through the sky. At this moment, she felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

The boy did not reject her and was willing to accept her feelings, which made her unable to control herself.

"Thank you." Igarashi Suzune said, and threw herself into the boy's arms.

Si Yue Yu Zhi just stood there and let the other person hug her.

But even though he didn't make any moves, he still spoke up to remind her: "Teacher Igarashi, this is not my clothes. If you want to wipe your tears, please use this."

As he spoke, he pulled out a white handkerchief from his pocket.

"You guy..." This is too unromantic.

Igarashi Suzune was crying and laughing, and took the handkerchief handed to her by the boy and wiped her tears of joy.

The room became quiet, only the world outside the window was still noisy. It was unknown how long it took before she left Si Yue Yu Zhi's arms.

"Thank you, April." Igarashi Suzune thanked her again, "I'm really happy."

"Especially here..." She placed one hand on her chest, and looked at the boy in front of her tenderly with tears in her eyes, "It feels warm and happy."

"Even if you say so, I still feel like I'm doing something extremely sinful."

"Pfft~ If anyone wants to talk about the heinous crime, it should be me." She likes her student, and she was the one who confessed first. If she tells others, she will definitely be thrown into jail.

"But I won't make you feel troubled." After laughing, Igarashi Suzune said with a relaxed look, "I am already satisfied to get your answer."

Getting the answer she desired was enough to make her feel happy, and she didn't dare to ask for anything else.

"So, it's about time for me to let it go and continue to fulfill my mission."
