"I always feel like you're intentionally saying something out of place."
Mr. Su Rui looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka with some doubt, stood up from the car, and followed behind her, walking into the teaching building with Shizuka Hiratsuka under the curious gazes of the surrounding students.
"Wow, that boy is so handsome! Is he a new teacher?"
"I heard he's the new assistant teacher at the school, but he hasn't come to teach yet."
"He seems so close to Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, could they be boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Yukino Yukinoshita watched Mr. Su Rui and Shizuka Hiratsuka walk up to the teaching building together, listening to the conversations of the infatuated girls around her, and her already ice-cold expression became even more indifferent.
As soon as she heard others talking about Mr. Su Rui and another woman, Yukino Yukinoshita felt very uncomfortable.
And Mr. Su Rui, paying attention to his surroundings, naturally also noticed that Yukino Yukinoshita's mood seemed a bit off.
"You go upstairs first, I have something to do."
Mr. Su Rui casually whispered something in Shizuka Hiratsuka's ear, then turned and walked towards the other classrooms in the teaching building.
"Besides me and Yukino, do you have any other acquaintances in this school?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head helplessly as she watched Mr. Su Rui's back, then turned and walked towards her office as Mr. Su Rui requested.
Since Mr. Su Rui said so, what else could she do?
Anyway, even if Mr. Su Rui accidentally broke his promise, he would find a way to compensate her later.
With that thought in mind, Shizuka Hiratsuka arrived at her private office, opened her computer, and casually browsed the web to pass the time while waiting for Mr. Su Rui to arrive.
As for Yukino Yukinoshita, after noticing that Mr. Su Rui and Shizuka Hiratsuka had separated, she was suddenly confused, and for a moment, she didn't even want to go to class.
Yukino Yukinoshita followed behind Mr. Su Rui, and even when she ran, she could barely see Mr. Su Rui's back.
'This direction is the rooftop. What is Mr. Su Rui going to the rooftop for?'
Although the class bell had already rung at this time, for Yukino Yukinoshita, she didn't need to care at all; the so-called classes were just a formality for her.
She was confident that even if she skipped a few classes, she would still be able to maintain her status as the top student in the school.
However, when Yukino Yukinoshita arrived at the rooftop and pushed open the rooftop door, she saw nothing.
'Could it be behind the rooftop?'
Turning around in confusion, Yukino Yukinoshita carefully walked towards the small section blocked by the rooftop attic.
Was Mr. Su Rui playing hide-and-seek with her?
Yukino Yukinoshita was a bit confused, but before she could see Mr. Su Rui, a pair of arms reached out from behind her, wrapped around her waist, and then pulled her into a warm embrace.
"Quiet down, class is still in session."
Mr. Su Rui covered Yukino Yukinoshita's mouth, preventing her from screaming out of panic.
And realizing that the person behind her was Mr. Su Rui, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, turning to look at him:
"What are you doing here, Mr. Su Rui?"
"Me? I noticed your mood seemed off, and I thought I'd find an opportunity to talk to you alone later."
"Then why did you come to the rooftop? Was it just to wait for me here?"
"No..." Mr. Su Rui paused, looking at Yukino Yukinoshita in confusion:
"I didn't make any arrangements with you about this before. I originally wanted to pass some time on the rooftop and then go find you when class was over. I didn't expect you to follow me up here directly. It's still class time now."
"I..." Realizing that she had been a 'bad child' in front of Mr. Su Rui, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately lowered her head in shame, scolding herself for her impulsiveness.
How could she be so impatient? It would have been fine to just wait until after class to find Mr. Su Rui.
However, Mr. Su Rui didn't dwell on this matter too much. Instead, he looked down at her constantly changing expression, reached out and rubbed Yukino Yukinoshita's cheek, making her look up at him:
"If I'm not mistaken, your behavior is all because of me, right? Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"I..." She couldn't just say that she had become completely abnormal because she wanted to spend time with Mr. Su Rui, could she?
Yukino Yukinoshita's mind was in a muddle, trying to come up with a reasonable excuse, but her blank mind made it impossible for her to think.
Finally, the girl in Mr. Su Rui's arms, as if giving up, looked up into Mr. Su Rui's eyes and shyly invited:
"Mr. Su Rui, would you like to go on a date with me?"
"Yes."
Mr. Su Rui nodded, which surprised Yukino Yukinoshita: "You agreed?"
"Yes, I agreed. But you'd best go back to class first. Although university courses aren't that important, it's best not to let the teacher discover that you, a good student, are absent."
"I'll apologize to the teacher and ask for leave properly."
Yukino Yukinoshita then, with a joyful heart, broke free from Mr. Su Rui's embrace, and after shyly glancing at him again, she happily turned and walked downstairs.
She didn't expect that a casual invitation would actually be accepted. This unexpected surprise immediately filled Yukino Yukinoshita's heart with joy, and even the courses that she originally found a bit boring seemed to become interesting in her eyes.
After comforting Yukino Yukinoshita, Mr. Su Rui easily found Shizuka Hiratsuka's office.
After all, she was carrying the amulet Mr. Su Rui gave her, so finding her location was simply too easy.
Without knocking, Mr. Su Rui directly jumped into Shizuka Hiratsuka's office from a high window.
Then he used his spiritual power to gently close the window and relock it. The entire process was controlled by spiritual power, so Mr. Su Rui didn't make any sound.
In other words, Shizuka Hiratsuka hadn't noticed Mr. Su Rui yet.
Standing behind Shizuka Hiratsuka, Mr. Su Rui curiously watched the content she was browsing.
Shizuka Hiratsuka was just casually browsing content that might interest her, such as various clothes and how to set the mood when dating her boyfriend.
Mr. Su Rui stood behind Shizuka Hiratsuka, watching her browse, and didn't feel bored until Shizuka Hiratsuka yawned and then saw a person standing behind her through the reflection on the computer screen.
Startled, Shizuka Hiratsuka turned around in her chair as if electrocuted, and then she saw Mr. Su Rui leaning against the wall, silently watching her.
"You scared me to death!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka glared at Mr. Su Rui indignantly, patting her chest:
"My heart almost jumped out of my chest because of you. How are you going to compensate me?"
