But Ai's reaction was surprisingly calm, as if she had expected it and wasn't surprised at all.

Back then, well, in terms of the range of facial expressions, it was less than one ten-thousandth of what it is now.

in other words.

Has Luo Chen, this master whom I've only known for a few days, already surpassed my useless and cold-blooded father in my heart?

"Okasan! Okasan! Come and watch with Ai! I believe that one day, Ai will stand in the winner's interview seat just like her master."

"Mmm~" Hinatsuru Akina nodded casually, closed her eyes again, and prepared to forcibly block out her daughter's noise and rest for a while.

She is a little tired.

I've been busy since yesterday.

Hinatsuru Ai abruptly changed her tune, raising her head high, her hands clenched into small fists and held upright in front of her chest, and said firmly:

"No, it should be said that Ai wants to stand with her mentor in the victor's interview seat! Yes, together!"

Hinatsuru Akina, who was supporting her forehead with one hand, slightly opened one eye and looked at her determined and confident daughter, and chuckled to herself.

A subtle, peculiar emotion flickered deep within his eyes.

Chapter 81: Jing's First Appearance (a reference to a character who has been neglecting her work)

"Hmm... Hiratsuka-sensei, you specifically called my name before class, saying you had something very important to tell me?"

After school, only Hiratsuka Shizuka remained in the Chinese Literature office, along with Luo Chen, who had come along specifically for this occasion.

Rewind 50 minutes. At the start of the second class, Hiratsuka Shizuka walked into the classroom with a confident smile and called his name.

After he answered "present".

Hiratsuka Shizuka turned around stiffly with an extremely incredulous look in her eyes and looked over.

Then, under the curious gazes of everyone in Class 2-F, including Luo Chen, he clenched his fist, coughed lightly, and said:

"Luo Chen, come to my office after class. I have something very important to tell you."

Luo Chen replied, "No problem."

……

Hiratsuka Shizuka slowly turned around, a rather stiff smile appearing on her lips, and stared at Luo Chen, saying, "Yes, indeed."

"477?" "What is it?" Luo Chen asked curiously.

Hiratsuka sat down, took out a cigarette case from the drawer, and prepared to take out a cigarette.

Luo Chen frowned and stopped him, saying, "Hiratsuka-sensei, smoking is harmful to your health, and smoking in front of students is against professional ethics, isn't it?"

Of course I know that!

Hiratsuka Shizuka cursed inwardly!

Extremely annoyed.

However, if she didn't smoke, she doubted whether she could calmly continue telling the lie.

It's all Teacher Haiye's fault... She even wanted to grab her colleague and give her a good beating!

What do you mean? A game of chess between professional players takes at least two hours, but Luo Chen did it differently.

Not only did he finish in just one break time, but he even used that free time to run back and forth between the Go Club and Shuji Academy!

In order not to embarrass herself and to make this overly clever student notice anything, Hiratsuka Shizuka tried her best to calm herself down and said seriously, "Our school will hold midterm exams in one week."

"Oh." Luo Chen nodded, still maintaining a curious look and expression.

The emotion can be easily expressed without verbal elaboration; it's simply: Okay, okay, I understand. Let's get to the point.

Is it important?!

It turned out I couldn't fool them after all.

Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression darkened slightly as she racked her brains for a way to use this opportunity as leverage...

Damn it, I never expected that!

Hiratsuka Shizuka tossed the cigarette case onto the table in frustration, adopting a nonchalant expression, and spat out, "This is it, nothing else is more important!"

"?"

Luo Chen slowly typed out a question mark, somewhat amused and exasperated.

To be honest, he pretty much figured out why Hiratsuka Shizuka was calling him during the second class.

Because they suffered a loss in the last confrontation and had to give up two conditions, they want to take revenge.

What a petty person.

After following Hiratsuka Shizuka to the Japanese Literature Office and observing certain details, he became even more certain of his guess.

So, he approached all the questions with a "let's see what happens" attitude.

But to everyone's surprise, when Hiratsuka Shizuka realized that her brain wasn't working properly, she simply chose to give up!

This "what can you do to me?" attitude left Luo Chen both amused and exasperated.

Surprisingly, he didn't find Hiratsuka Shizuka annoying at all; on the contrary, he found her unexpectedly adorable.

After slacking off for three minutes, Hiratsuka Shizuka noticed that Luo Chen was staring at her without saying a word. She frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy, and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

"Teacher Jing, is it really that boring of you to just brush me off like this?" Luo Chen said irritably.

Hiratsuka Shizuka raised an eyebrow, revealing a dignified expression.

Luo Chen wasn't buying it at all and was too lazy to waste words with the lazy Jing. He held up one finger and said, "Add one more condition."

"what?!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka stood up angrily, glaring at Luo Chen as she rolled up her sleeves. "What do you take me for? Hey! Kid! Want a beating?"

Luo Chen countered, "So, you're saying that Teacher Jing was so confident I would skip class, and then..."

"Stop! Damn it!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't take it anymore. She realized that her skin wasn't thick enough, and her face actually felt a little hot after being mentioned.

Taishe is dead, utterly.

Luo Chen blinked innocently: "Then, one condition?"

To preserve her dignity as a teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't look at Luo Chen. Instead, she lay back in her office chair to compose herself, staring at the ceiling as she said, "Let's do it your way."

Anyway, this kid didn't even say what his condition was, so she figured Luo Chen was probably just saying it.

As for the conditions, I guess I'll just agree to them.

Suddenly, a handsome face loomed larger and larger before my eyes.

Hiratsuka Shizuka's pupils contracted slightly, but fortunately, she was brave enough not to be startled by the face that was suddenly so close to hers.

Of course, I was still somewhat unhappy.

After all, she had never seen such an audacious student, daring to speak to her like that... Oh, that guy Haruno did the same thing before.

However, when Yang Nai was so open back then, he was already in his third year and had known her for more than two years.

Where is Luo Chen?

Only 3 days!!

Fortunately, Luo Chen wasn't truly reckless; after taking a quick look, he left, muttering to himself:

"I thought you were asleep, Ms. Jing."

"Okay, I'll state one of the conditions now, and I'll talk about the other one when I think of it."

Hiratsuka Shizuka straightened up, frowned and stared at Luo Chen without saying a word, which added to the sense of pressure on Luo Chen and prevented him from talking nonsense.

Luo Chen smiled brightly and said, "How about Professor Jing visits our JS research group during the next holiday?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka narrowed her eyes.

That's it?

Luo Chen quickly added, "I mean, a three-day mini-holiday, so that Teacher Jing can stay at our JS research institute for at least 72 hours."

Hiratsuka Shizuka, hands in her pockets, chuckled in exasperation and asked, "You still haven't given up on having me pretend to be your girlfriend? Hey~! Want to die?"

Luo Chen spread his hands innocently: "Teacher Jing, please don't misunderstand. It's just a simple invitation to visit. As for girlfriends, we'll see about that later."

"Humph!"

They really dared to mention that!

Of course, this time Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't get angry directly, but just sneered and said, "5.3, if you have the guts."

As she spoke, she pulled a ballpoint pen out of her pocket at some point, twirled it in her hand a couple of times, and then suddenly squeezed it.
