I refuse to be a plagiarist

“Let me tell you a secret.

actually........

I am the 'delayed potato'."

"what?!"

A loud female voice suddenly rang out in the office.

She hurriedly distanced herself from the guy in front of her. Maybe it was because she was too close, but at this moment, a blush appeared on Shizuka Hiratsuka's ears, which made people couldn't help but imagine something fishy.

She was really shocked by Hasegawa Hide's sudden action just now.

But after she came to her senses, what surprised her even more was what the other party had just told her.

"You just said...you are 'Molar Potato'?!"

The index finger suspended in mid-air trembled slightly.

Because of her personal character and preferences, even though she has become a high school teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka has always maintained a certain degree of understanding of some passionate works circulating on the market.

For example, there’s this recent, highly discussed, but somewhat weird novel.

——《Fighting to Break Through the Atmosphere》

Yes.

Like many passionate young people, she, as a teacher, is actually also a loyal reader of someone behind the scenes.

With the ups and downs, interlocking and addictive plot, she has already put herself into the shoes of the third young master of the Xiao family. Recently, she seems to be poisoned, and during her rest time, her mind is full of replays of the images sketched out by her imagination.

Now, she suddenly found out that the author was actually the student she had always been paying attention to. At this moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka really felt a sense of unrealistic fantasy.

"I really didn't expect that, Hasegawa... "

He put his legs that were resting on the desk back on the ground awkwardly.

Considering the fact that "拖更土豆" stopped updating a few days ago, and the fact that she had asked the boy to do his tutoring at the same time, and combined with Hasegawa Hide's serious personality... at this moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka finally realized her mistake.

They actually misunderstood a promising young man pursuing his dreams as a gigolo who was corrupted by money and kept by a rich woman...

[Hiratsuka Shizuka, Hiratsuka Shizuka... How can you still be considered a teacher if you slander a student who respects and loves you without any evidence?!]

In my mind, I kept reflecting on my extremely arbitrary behavior just now.

However, as she reflected on herself, facing the strange blush gradually appearing on the face of the head teacher, Hasegawa Hide, who was standing in front of him, couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face.

The atmosphere in this office...

[Isn’t it a bit weird? ]

Chapter 31: Yang No's Black Stockings

"I'm sorry Hasegawa, before...it was the teacher who misunderstood you.

You have been working hard for your dream, but the teacher... "

My initial unreasonable guess about "the young man gradually becoming corrupted by the rich woman" emerged in my mind.

Although she did not directly reveal her previous thoughts, driven by guilt and sense of responsibility as a teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka sincerely apologized to the student in front of her who almost suffered from her iron fist.

Right is right, wrong is wrong.

In response to Teacher Jing's apology, Hasegawa Hide, who knew the other person's character, quickly waved his hands, indicating that he didn't care about these little things at all.

After all, no matter what...

"Teacher Jing, you are doing this because you are worried about my future, aren't you?"

With a gentle smile on his face.

Seeing the boy's genuine smile, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was a little nervous at first, was stunned. Then, she cursed and punched him lightly in the chest:

"Heh... you're pretty sensible.

It's worth it that I take care of you so much."

"hey-hey......."

He touched the back of his head sheepishly.

Because no force was used, Teacher Jing's punch seemed to him more like a prank between friends than a punishment.

But no matter what, it is indeed my fault that I have not been able to balance my studies recently and even made others worry about it.

At this moment, facing this lovely teacher who took so much pains to do this, Hasegawa Hidema felt a kind of warmth that was worth cherishing.

"But Hasegawa, although you have to be careful not to fall behind in your studies, remember to continue working hard in the future.

You haven’t updated in the past few days, and I’ve been frustrated...”

“Ha, haha, this… I’ll do my best.”

The tone sounded a little perfunctory.

The fact that the homeroom teacher was actually his reader... was a very new thing for Hasegawa Hide, no matter before or after the time travel.

But the problem is......

[As a teacher, is it really okay for you to encourage your students to do other things even though you know it will hinder their studies? ]

I silently complained in my heart.

However, in response to Shizuka Hiratsuka's request, Hasegawa Hide finally nodded and said that he would definitely bring this teacher a different reading experience.

"...But regarding my true identity, Teacher Jing, please keep it a secret for me."

He clasped his hands together and nodded slightly towards the head teacher in front of him.

However, at this moment, Hasegawa Hide's appearance with dark circles under his eyes and extremely pale face seemed inexplicably funny in Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes.

“Okay, don’t worry, I’m not the kind of person who can’t control his tongue.

Like, have you ever seen me tell anyone about you and Yukinoshita's weekend date?"

It was as if he wanted to tease the mature guy in front of him.

At the last moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka winked at Hasegawa Hide, with a smirk showing disrespect for the elderly on her face.

Hasegawa Hide, who was already somewhat used to the other party's carefree personality, was not willing to be outdone and spread his hands indifferently:

"Let's not talk about the fact that there is no relationship between me and Yukinoshita that you imagine...

Teacher Jing, watching the students around you getting together in pairs and singing the praises of youth, don't you, as a single person, feel any sense of urgency?"

"......"

A knowing blow!

Someone with a hidden venomous tongue may not speak at all, but once he speaks, he will hit the target directly where it hurts.

It was just a simple sentence. Although there was no sarcasm or ridicule in the whole process, it was like a bombshell to Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had always been alone.

For some people, simply stating a fact can sometimes be a personal attack tantamount to sarcasm.

Everyone in Sobu High School knows that Shizuka Hiratsuka has been under pressure from her family for being single.

It’s hard, the fist is hard!

His eyes were filled with hostility as he looked at the somewhat complacent young problem boy.

Facing Hiratsuka Shizuka's death gaze, Hasegawa Hide couldn't help but shudder and fled towards the door as if running away:

"Teacher Jing, if everything is ok, I'll leave first.

besides......

I wish you find your partner soon. ”

"Iron-baa!"

【Slip away, slip away...】

Disappeared around the corner of the corridor in a flash.

Listening to the extremely irritable roar of Hiratsuka Shizuka coming faintly from behind him, Hasegawa Hide covered his violently heaving chest, and only after confirming that this lovely class teacher had not caught up with him did he breathe a sigh of relief and hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

It seems that I have been a little too aggressive recently. I even dared to make a joke of this head teacher.

But then again........

[Why is Teacher Jing still single and no one is chasing her? ]

Good family, good personality, good figure, easy to get along with, kind-hearted........

No one is chasing you?

"That doesn't make sense!"

Muttering quietly.

From an ordinary male's perspective, apart from a vague aversion to smoking and drinking, he really couldn't find any reason why no one was pursuing Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Hey~Hasegawa, what are you doing hiding here alone?"

The sudden voice brought him back to reality from his puzzled state.

Turning in the direction of the voice, who else came into view but Yukinoshita Haruno?

Today, she is still wearing the same Sobu High School uniform that has never changed.

However, on the legs below the plaid skirt, there was a pair of precious black stockings, which made someone's eyes subconsciously linger for a little while in that absolute area.

[I didn't expect this guy to be quite suitable for wearing this kind of thing........]

I nodded silently in my heart.

But compared to his inner thoughts, on the surface he turned his head away calmly and replied calmly:

"Oh, it's you.

It's nothing, I just got called to the office by Shizuka Hiratsuka to talk because of my declining grades."

"So this is ah.

But it's true, Hasegawa, your performance has dropped drastically in recent times.

Why, do you need me to introduce you to a tutor for tutoring?"

[Humph~ This dishonest bad guy....]

A hint of joy flashed through my mind as my plan came true.

Although Hasegawa Hide's gaze just now was very obscure, the gaze that lingered on his legs was still captured promptly and accurately by the person involved.

That's right, she dressed like this on purpose today.

And it turned out that when faced with his own "trap", the guy who seemed to have no interest in women on weekdays actually reacted miraculously.

Even though it was just a little bit, for Yukinoshita Haruno, she had already won too much in this wave...

Chapter 32: Eat Up Hasegawa

“Thank you very much for your kindness.

But forget about tutoring. Although my grades have dropped recently, I don’t think I need such a thing for the time being.”

Decisively rejected Yukinoshita Haruno's suggestion.

Although there was no definite evidence, Hasegawa's intuition told him that this scheming woman in front of him would definitely use the opportunity of introducing a tutor to him to do something behind his back.

It wasn't something too bad, but a bit of teasing was inevitable.

This is already similar to the development of traditional performing arts.

In response to his statement, Yukinoshita Haruno on the side tilted her head as if she had expected it, and did not feel surprised by the result.

"Has anything happened recently?

To be honest, even if Xiaojing didn't ask you to go to the office, I couldn't help but ask you recently.

What on earth would make a conservative guy like you take the initiative to break the rules you have always followed? "

Legs slightly crossed.
