I refuse to be a plagiarist

“Well… this is probably a personal talent.

Baiyin, there are still many things about me that you don’t know.”

He rubbed the tip of his nose with his index finger as if by reflex.

Compared to the somewhat uneasy young man at the beginning, Hasegawa Hide has now gradually adapted to the identity of a plagiarist and can even shamelessly make up some fictitious reasons to justify it.

Although he still shows some nervous movements, he has "grown" a lot compared to before.

"But Baiyin, according to what you said, my book shouldn't be a big hit in the market, right?"

"Of course!"

Gave a thumbs up to Hasegawa Hide.

Facing his friend's ridiculous look of uncertainty, Shirogane Yuxing blinked and expressed his praise without hesitation:

"You, stop imagining that.

This is really a great novel.

I don’t know what others will think, but if it were me, I would definitely go to the bookstore and buy a set.”

There was a hint of excitement and anticipation in his eyes.

He means it.

Putting aside the initial setting of the time traveler, Baiyin Yuxing seemed to see the shadow of himself and his partner in front of him in that "Xiao Yan".

The same family suffered misfortune, the same unwillingness to succumb to the status quo, the same efforts to persevere...

It is said that art originates from reality.

Looking at the unwavering determination in his friend's eyes, at this moment, he felt as if he had understood the meaning of this sentence.

Chapter 14: Uncontrollable Joy

As the sun sets, Hasegawa Hide is in a very good mood as he walks in the deserted alley.

In his hands was instant food bought from a convenience store.

After getting the recognition from Baiyin Yuxing, the last bit of worry in the boy's heart has been completely dispelled.

Facts have proved that even in different time and space and different countries, a high-quality work will still have its own audience and market.

[That’s great. When I have money, I will definitely...]

I can't help but think of the wonderful fantasies that many people have had to a greater or lesser extent.

Although everything has not officially started, the anticipation for a better future has made Hasegawa eagerly think of some "time-wasting" things that he would never have thought about before.

It is not the madness of Fan Jin's success in the imperial examination, but a completely new and flashy life plan.

Perhaps in the near future, he will try to become a high school student who "sings praises to youth", a "useless person" that he once despised.

But so what?

My lord, times have changed.

In Hasegawa Hide's heart, he never forgot the pursuit of a comfortable life. Whether it was part-time work or being a plagiarist, these ways of earning money were ultimately used to improve his quality of life and provide the necessary conditions for enjoying the fun of life.

There was no choice before, but now that I have the conditions, I naturally want them all.

It's human nature, there's nothing to hide.

He, Hasegawa Hide, is such an extremely "honest" person.

This simple and pure happiness accompanied Hasegawa throughout the entire weekend, and even when he went to class the next day, he brought it along with his daily school life.

In a quiet discussion, the students of Sobu High School were suddenly surprised to find that the "hard-working knight" who commuted between school and part-time job every day with a cold face actually showed signs of melting today.

Although he still maintained his solitary behavior, when people greeted him, he would be patient and say a few polite words to them.

You have to know that if it were in the past, Hasegawa Hide would never have done such a meaningless thing. In his own words, "it is better to put the limited time and energy on more meaningful things."

Such unusual behavior naturally attracted the attention of some people in the class.

For example, Shizuka Hiratsuka, the homeroom teacher, and... Yukinoshita Haruno, who has been in inexplicable anxiety since they parted on Friday.

Silently looking at the profile of someone who is listening attentively in class.

She had been in this inexplicable state for almost a whole day.

She had never noticed it before, but now, looking at Hasegawa Hide who was surrounded by a faint sense of confidence, the girl actually felt that he was inexplicably handsome.

[Wait... cool?! ]

[Yukinoshita Haruno, how could you have such a shameful thought! ]

[It’s just a cricket, Hasegawa, how, how…]

Accompanied by a sudden shudder and feeling the restlessness coming from her heart, Yukinoshita Haruno quickly turned her head away so that she would no longer keep her eyes on the bad guy.

She hated feeling out of control.

However, Yukinoshita Haruno didn't know that her burning gaze had already been clearly noticed by the target, Hasegawa Hide, in the morning.

And the action that was intended to cover up something was even more obvious, and was "seen" clearly by him through the reflection of the window mirror.

【This guy Yukinoshita...】

[Could it be that he has come up with some new trick and wants to use me as a test?! ]

I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.

Although he has become accustomed to this mode of getting along, even the battle-hardened Hasegawa Hide sometimes finds it difficult to cope with the sudden, treacherous and changeable "attack" of Yukinoshita Haruno.

It's like a joke.

The right amount of jokes can bring joy to each other, but if they go too far, they can make people feel troubled and resentful.

In the mildest case, the two people will feel depressed and have a quarrel; in the worst case, they will become enemies and never have any contact with each other again.

Perhaps because of her smooth way of dealing with things, up to now, the girl named Yukinoshita Haruno has not made Hasegawa feel bad enough to want to break up with her.

But even so, Hasegawa Hide didn't want to be used as "material" by that quirky girl to satisfy her sense of accomplishment.

When a person is immersed in something, the passage of time will seem very fast to him.

Before I knew it, it was time to go home from school.

After holding it in for a whole day, Yukinoshita Haruno finally couldn't hold it in anymore. After most of her classmates had left, she pretended to be calm and walked to Hasegawa Hide.

"Cough, cough!"

"What's wrong, Miss Yukinoshita?"

"nothing."

"..."

[Ma Dan, where did you learn this classic line? ! ]

He stared at the girl in front of him with a look as if she were mentally retarded.

Looking at the boy's meaningful expression, Yukinoshita Haruno realized her loss of composure and quickly straightened her expression. The next second she regained her usual elegance and composure.

"I'm talking to you...

Something good happened last weekend, huh? "

She tiptoed slightly and sat her butt on the other person's table. Her legs wrapped in stockings were swaying gently in the air, full of the youth and vitality of a girl.

The eyes that seemed to be full of smiles carefully observed the reaction on the boy's face.

After her anxiety subsided and rationality gradually took over, Yukinoshita Haruno began to focus her energy again on her "friend" Hasegawa Hide.

In her opinion, all the strange behaviors displayed by Hasegawa Hide during the day were definitely related to the "old" woman she saw in the coffee shop!

"Well, how did you know I had something good happen to me over the weekend?"

"Do we need to guess?"

The crystal blue eyes narrowed slightly into slits.

Facing Hasegawa's puzzled look, the girl raised her arm and tucked the hair behind her ear:

“The way you looked during the day had already told everyone all your emotions.

Won't you share it with me?

There is a saying: When you share your happiness with your friends, you get two shares of happiness! "

The pretty face gradually moved closer to the boy.

At this moment, Hasegawa Hide could even clearly see his own slightly dull face from Yukinoshita's eyes.

The corners of his eyebrows raised unnaturally.

However, just as he was about to distance himself from the other party, an uninvited guest appeared at the door of the classroom with a rhythmic sound of footsteps...

Chapter 15: Polar Reversal

"Cough, cough......

I say, when you two are flirting, shouldn't you pay attention to the environment and the feelings of other people around you?"

The long, smooth black hair swayed gently in the breeze.

The person who appeared at the classroom door at this time was Shizuka Hiratsuka, who came to the classroom after school to see if there were any bad boys causing trouble.

But she never expected that instead of catching the naughty bad boy, she ran into two "good kids" who seemed to be causing trouble - Hasegawa Hide and Yukinoshita Haruno.

[Are all young people nowadays so open-minded? ]

A slap hit his forehead.

From a teacher's perspective, although these two boys and girls in front of her have troublesome personalities, in Shizuka Hiratsuka's opinion, they are essentially the type of people with both good character and good academic performance.

But one thing is another......

[Even so, it's too much for these two guys to do this in the classroom! ]

A strange blush appeared on his face, which was completely inconsistent with the character of a handsome teacher.

However, this seemingly beautiful scene was actually just a manifestation of Shizuka Hiratsuka's rage.

His eyes were fixed on the seat by the window at the back of the classroom.

From Shizuka Hiratsuka's perspective, the young man and woman, whose bodies were almost touching, were clearly intending to engage in some unspeakable and shameful incident in the classroom after school.

If you endure for a moment, you will get angrier. If you take a step back, you will suffer more.

So before long, the originally calm and friendly Shizuka Hiratsuka teacher had turned into a boss guarding the level with three barrels of rage.

"You two are so brave!"

If you are angry, it should show on your face.

Looking at Hasegawa and Yukinoshita openly playing "Tie Tie" in the classroom, the resentment of the older single woman and the serious soul of the teacher intertwined, turning into a ruthless flame burning behind Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Seeing the terrifying look of the class leader with red flashing eyes, Hasegawa, who realized the seriousness of the problem first, stood up hurriedly. Regardless of Yukinoshita Haruno's reaction, he took the girl sitting on his desk aside and made her stand at attention. At the same time, he explained to teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka at the door of the classroom:

"Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, please calm down. Things are not what you think..."

"Oh, not what I thought?

So Hasegawa-san, I'd like you to explain to me what game you and Yukinoshita-san were playing just now, huh?"

His fists were clenched so tightly that they made crackling sounds.

Looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka's extremely oppressive posture, Hasegawa was speechless for a moment, and sweat couldn't stop coming out of his forehead.

[Oh, this is terrible...]

He subconsciously took two steps back.

He had a certain understanding of the teacher's personality and experience. For example, she was a beautiful woman with good conditions, but for some reason she just couldn't find a partner and remained alone...

As a result, contradictions naturally arise.

Although the truth of the matter was not a romantic love story, it could be seen from Shizuka Hiratsuka's expression at the time that the other party must have regarded her and Yukinoshita Haruno as a couple in love who were secretly doing bad things in the classroom.

Although Sobu High School does not have any strict regulations, as a teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka obviously has the power to punish such things as romance in school.
