I refuse to be a plagiarist

——It’s Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Teacher Jing, you........"

Subconsciously, I wanted to sit up.

But before he could make any move, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had already seen what the boy was thinking, walked forward and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Don't be so stubborn, kid... Do you want me to ask for leave from school again just for you?

Just take a rest.

A grown boy actually fainted in the arms of a girl in the school corridor, tsk tsk......"

"What?"

The scene before I fell into coma gradually came back to my mind.

Hiratsuka Shizuka's complaining but slightly playful tone made Hasegawa shudder and subconsciously feel that something was wrong.

Yes.

Because I was too tired, I accidentally fainted in front of Yukinoshita.

but.......

“What does it mean to faint in a girl’s arms?!

Could it be that…?”

"Hmph~

Things have come to this, you kid, stop pretending.

How do you think you were sent to my office when you were already unconscious? How do you think you flew there by yourself?"

The index finger of his right hand was placed close to the tip of the boy's nose, and then pushed forward without any hesitation.

In the face of Hasegawa Hide's weird expression, Hiratsuka Shizuka raised the corners of her mouth, revealing an expression that said "I've seen through everything" and smiled evilly:

"Of course it's that little girl Yukinoshita.

A young lady disregarded her image and ran around the teaching building with a boy in her arms... She has done this for you, Hasegawa, do you still dare to say that you two are not in love?"

"Um, well......"

[Indeed, there isn't one.]

The expression on his face was a little awkward.

But after a brief moment of confusion, the next second, his heart was filled with complex emotions.

Hasegawa was truly touched by all the efforts the girl made for him when he was unconscious.

But he also did not forget that the last straw that caused him to faint was probably this guy who liked to joke...

"As for Yukinoshita, I will go to express my gratitude to her later.

It’s Teacher Jing.

I'm really sorry for causing you trouble by asking for leave from school just for me."

"Humph, you still have some conscience."

A clear and handsome smile appeared on his face.

Then, Shizuka Hiratsuka opened the drawer and returned a uniquely styled "senior citizen's phone" to its owner:

"It kept making noises during the time you were unconscious.

Now that you are awake, it's time to let those who are worried about you know that you are safe.

Am I right, Mr. Potato?"

"..."

He took his Nokia from the teacher awkwardly.

Although he hadn't read the contents of the message yet, his intuition told him that he might have caused trouble for the editor in the past two days...

Chapter 34: Calm? Storm Rising Again

"Moshimoshi........

Ah, it’s me, Hasegawa.”

He nervously dialed a phone number.

The moment the familiar mature lady's voice reached his ears through the receiver, the tension in Hasegawa Hide's heart instantly reached its peak.

"Ah~ la.

It's going to be a hell of a task to contact you, boy."

"Um, this... Don't be angry, Sister Hongsaka. I can't help it."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Although the other party still had that unique tone of laziness with a hint of charm, Hasegawa knew that at this moment Akane Akinari's emotions must have reached the brink of an explosion, and she might turn into a grumpy old sister at any time.

After all, he had already seen it when he took the phone from Teacher Jing just now.

There were nearly thirty missed calls and countless unread text messages and email reminders on my mobile phone.

The senders of these emails are all this editor sister.

This shows how hard the other party tried to find me during the time when I was unconscious.

“What?! You said you passed out in school because of scheduling issues?

How could you be so careless?

How are you feeling, are you feeling better now?"

"Haha...it's okay, you don't have to worry about it.

Thanks to my friends and teachers, I am recovering well in the hospital and will probably be discharged today."

"Humph, you're already such a grown-up, but you still make such a fuss."

I couldn't help but laugh and curse on the phone.

However, after learning that Hasegawa was safe, Akane Akasaka, who was busy in the office, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

During the time when Hasegawa lost contact, she was really worried that something terrible might have happened on his side.

Although she was amazed at the boy's talent and perseverance, judging from the aloof personality displayed by Hasegawa, the first thing that came to her mind was Akane Ayaka, an unlucky character who was isolated on campus.

This type of role is often most prone to accidents.

After all, neon...

School violence has become a characteristic culture.

"You should just take a good rest during this period and don't worry about the manuscript.

As for the editorial department...

Don't worry, I'll hold it for you first."

"Oh, then I'll leave it to Sister Hongsaka."

Smiling and hung up the phone.

In Hasegawa's opinion, it is really a lucky thing for him to have such a humane editor sister.

He had heard before that an editor would stay at the author's house every day to urge him to submit his manuscript...

"Why, you explained it so quickly?"

He asked with a smile.

Out of respect for the boy's privacy, even though it was an epoch-making old-fashioned phone, Shizuka Hiratsuka still did not open it and watch the video while the boy was unconscious.

In response to the care of this handsome older sister, Hasegawa showed the same free and easy smile and gave her a thumbs up with his right hand.

"Ok.

Teacher Jing, don't worry. Miss Hongsaka is just like you, a very gentle and considerate type.

If it were someone else, huh...

I might have to crawl out of bed and run back to finish my manuscript now."

"Can I understand that you are complimenting me?"

"Of course~"

He winked at the lovely head teacher in a funny way.

In response, Shizuka Hiratsuka waved her fist at Hasegawa in a protest, until she seemed to realize that something was wrong, her cheeks blushed, and she regained her "dignity" as a teacher.

"...Since you are fine now, I should go back to school. I will also inform Yukinoshita that you have woken up.

besides.......

Young man, is there anything I can bring to someone for you?"

"Not at all."

Wave goodbye to Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Hasegawa has accepted his fate. The relationship between him and Yukinoshita Haruno has become increasingly shady in school.

Not to mention the gossip-loving classmates, at least from Teacher Jing's side, they have been labeled as an "awkward couple."

This is indeed quite a headache.

But when you think about it, why should you worry about something that doesn't matter?

【Let them think whatever they want...】

Approach the tables surrounding the ward.

There, there were the nutritious meals prepared by the hospital for themselves.

Although the fancy combination tastes so-so, but considering the price, you can tell with your butt that it has nothing to do with the word "people-friendly".

But at this point he no longer had any choice.

He was in a coma for two consecutive days and was completely dependent on glucose infusion.

In order to recover his strength as quickly as possible, Hasegawa Hide soon devoured the originally abundant food.

"Miss Nurse!"

"Oh?

Young man, do you have anything to ask for? "

"Well, sister, I want to apply for discharge."

He had already changed out of the hospital gown that symbolized weakness.

Looking at the nurse in front of him with a gentle expression and a full service attitude, Hasegawa packed his personal belongings and then asked her for his needs with a smile.

“Discharged from hospital?

But...are you really okay?"

He looked at the boy in front of him with a strange look on his face.

Although she is just a nurse and does not have the deep medical knowledge reserves like a professional doctor, a patient who has been lying in bed for two consecutive days does not look like someone who can be discharged directly from the hospital.

But Hasegawa Hide is obviously not a special guy who can be judged by common sense.

Even he himself felt it was magical. He was clearly extremely weak before, but after eating, he felt like a Saiyan who was in near-death mode and had eaten Senzu Beans. He felt that his condition was better than he could have imagined.

He rolled up his sleeves and showed off his well-defined muscles to the older sister in front of him.

Then, regardless of the other party's reaction, he walked to the door first and opened the door of the ward with a smile:

“I am also a person who cherishes life, but I feel that I have completely recovered now.

I will have another full body checkup before I am discharged from the hospital later.

Don't worry, it won't bother you."
