As expected, she collapsed in his arms, and Watanabe picked up Noriko and washed her body as usual.

The drowsiness caused by spring sleepiness is unstoppable. Before 21 p.m., Kiko was so sleepy and tired that she couldn't open her eyes. She curled up in Watanabe's arms and dozed off.

Watanabe put her on the bed and kissed the woman's forehead: "Noriko, I'm going to go for a night run later... maybe a short walk, it will take a long time, don't worry about me."

"Okay... Tetsuya-kun, please come back early..." Noriko responded in a daze.

After making sure all the doors and windows were locked, the man put on his clothes and went out.

Watanabe was not going to Saotome's apartment next door, he really wanted to go outside for a walk and get some fresh air.

Just like the walk with Saotome that night, Watanabe lowered his head in silence, unconsciously walking on exactly the same path.

What happened to Tetsuya Watanabe in the past half month was that on the one hand, his new wife Noriko Shimizu's gentleness warmed him and made him still have beautiful aspirations for his future life; on the other hand, Saotome Hazuki's comeback and the same threats and pressures from women like Sakura Kunomiya made him suffer in his heart.

The status and power of these bad women are so high that Watanabe is unable to fight against them.

What's more, he has an obvious weakness, Jiko.

Even if Toru Watanabe himself went into the entertainment industry and seduced them into killing each other, it would probably only be a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.

Because in the end there will always be a winner who wins everything.

Watanabe can only let them control him unless he can completely eliminate the lives, status and power of the bad women.

Otherwise, as long as Noriko was still alive, Watanabe would never have gone all out and ended up hurting both sides.

There is nowhere to escape...

The sound of car horns brought Watanabe back to reality, and he realized that he had crossed the alley and walked onto the road.

The red light turned green, Watanabe walked to the other side of the road, and walked back along the river bank towards home.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on the river surface, and the evening breeze blew by, stretching the star-like moonlight into slender lines.

Watanabe stopped, turned around and leaned against the waist-high railing.

He recalled what happened in Amenaka Town about 15 years ago.

At that time, he finally had a chance to go down the mountain from the shrine and return to the orphanage. He didn't want to go back to the shrine, so he pretended to wander around and came to the northernmost tributary of the An River.

A girl dressed as a witch found him by the river, climbed up the broken bridge over the river with him, and said something.

Finally, the little shrine maiden who was about the same age as Watanabe got angry and said to him:

"I've already told you how to get out of this predicament. If you don't do this or that, you might as well jump into the river and die!"

Watanabe Toru, who was only ten years old, rejected the suggestion of the little shrine maiden.

The reason was simple. He was only ten years old. He could not suppress the entire Hidaka Shrine by himself. He needed time and more importantly, he needed helpers he could trust and rely on...

Now, Watanabe Toru lowered his eyes to look at the river surface with shimmering water and moonlight, and remembered the words of the little witch.

I felt that her last words made sense. Jumping into the river and dying, once and for all, was a kind of relief.

As long as he dies, the bad women who surround him will scatter like birds and beasts.

As long as he is dead, there is no point in using Jiko as a threat.

As long as he dies...

A luxury car was parked on the side of the road, and the little golden man on the front of the car was shining brightly.

The car door opened and a young girl with long black hair came down. When she saw Watanabe occupying the seat she usually occupied, she didn't say anything. She just stood two or three meters away from him, also looking down at the river quietly.

The evening breeze was blowing gently, dark clouds covered the crescent moon, and the moonlight reflected on the river surface in Watanabe's lens melted away.

Princess Sakuraba also came back to her senses from her trance. She reached out and smoothed her hair, and the sadness she felt was even worse than before.

The girl glanced sideways at the handsome young man beside her.

She smiled softly, stretched out her hand and invited, "Hey, do you want to jump together?"

Thanks to [Qiansheng] for the reward!

Chapter 123 Wanwan Leiqing and the Dream of Revelation

On the river bank late at night, with no one around and only the occasional car speeding by, a girl who looks like a high school student reaches out to you and invites you to jump into the river with her.

And you, 25 years old, a married adult man, and a teacher.

If you really agree to the request of the girl in front of you, take her hand and climb over the railing on the river bank, and follow the principle of "You Jump! I jump!" and jump down with her.

Then, if nothing unexpected happens, you will be on the headlines in the next few days - shocking news! A handsome male teacher from a prestigious high school abandoned his newlywed wife and jumped into the river to commit suicide with a female student!

Watanabe Toru immediately thought of similar news and did not reach out to him.

Even if he died, he would not die with others, but would choose to end his life alone.

Watanabe was also a little curious. From the luxury car behind her, he could tell that the girl's family background was surprisingly good and her social status was definitely not low.

Money cannot buy all the happiness and wishes you want, but if you have money, most of the suffering and pain will go away.

So why did the girl next to him have the idea of ​​jumping into the river to commit suicide?

Besides, there must be a maid or bodyguard around her, right? A female bodyguard similar to Saotome and Sakura Kujo, who should be sitting in the car?

Jumping into the river to commit suicide seems even more ridiculous.

Driven by curiosity, Watanabe couldn't help but glance sideways at the girl. Her long black hair reached her waist, was fine and smooth, and her figure was ordinary. She wasn't as proud as Saotome, nor did she have a slender waist like Kiko. Her hips were ordinary, but her skin was white, tender and shiny, which made Watanabe's mind flow with memories.

Sakuraba Miki also noticed the man's gaze, and after a moment of thought, she looked back at him openly.

Even with the thick black-framed glasses and long hair covering her face, since almost all of the people around her were handsome men and beautiful women, Sakuraba Miki, who could be said to have seen countless beauties, could tell at a glance -

If the man in front of me took off his abrupt and deliberate disguise and simply restored his original beauty, he would be so handsome that it was impossible to look away.

The girl also discovered that, regardless of the appearance of the man in front of her, just standing beside him and looking at him briefly, her restless heart and breathless chest felt as if they were gently caressed by a gentle hand surrounded by warm sunshine, and her whole body seemed to be wrapped in endless warm sunshine. Even if it was only for a brief moment, it made her feel extremely comfortable.

The man in front of him has an indescribable temperament and charm, which deeply attracts the women who approach him...

Sakuraba Miki was stunned. Realizing this in her heart, she felt a little panicked and scared. She wanted to turn around and get in the car and leave immediately, but she found that she couldn't do it.

Stay here for a while, stay here for a while... Well, as long as you get home safely at the appointed time...

Sakuraba Miki was surprised, and Watanabe Toru was not much better!

The man stared at the girl's familiar eyebrows, gentle eyes and fair, delicate skin without any flaws. Even though they were only three or four points similar at first glance, he was stunned in place and could only utter one sentence in a sullen voice:

"...Naoko, mother."

"........."

The moonlight, as plain as fog, quietly condensed on the tranquil river surface. All around was silent. Not to mention pedestrians, even the occasional passing vehicles did not pass by at this moment.

The girl came back to her senses and tilted her head, a little confused: "Mom, mom...?"

"…I'm sorry!" The girl's words brought Watanabe back to reality, making him realize that the person standing next to him was not Naoko's mother whom he had been thinking about day and night.

After sincerely apologizing, Watanabe Tetsuya explained: "I don't know how to address you, but since I am a high school teacher, I will just call you classmate.

"Classmate, you... look a lot like my adoptive mother.

"I lost my focus for a moment, so please forgive me if my words were offensive."

Although Watanabe and Sakuraba are both teachers and students at Yugao High School and are in the same grade, they are not in a true teacher-student relationship and have never met formally, so naturally they do not recognize each other.

"I see..." Sakuraba Miki nodded, agreeing with what Watanabe Tetsuya said, but she was still a little unhappy.

"Uncle, do I look so old?"

Sakuraba Miki clearly understood that she was not like Kujo Sakura, a flawless beautiful girl that people would not want to look away from.

Not to mention Jiugong Sakura, in terms of appearance alone, she can't even compare to the beautiful girl who is only slightly famous in the class.

Although she came from the Sakuraba family, a family that produced beauties, she was like an ugly duckling among swans or a Husky among wolves. Sakuraba Princess was so dazzling.

And she had to accept her fate.

But even though she accepted her fate, there was one thing that Sakuraba Mihime was extremely proud of, and that was her fair, tight and smooth skin. No matter how beautiful a beauty was, she couldn't compare to hers!

And now, a man shows up and says she looks like his adopted mother.

The man looks to be in his 20s, and his adoptive mother is at least 40 years old.

Sakuraba Miki can tolerate people saying that she is not good-looking, but it is hard for her not to think too much about the words "she looks very much like my adoptive mother". Is it just that she looks like her?

Or is she being sarcastic about how her favorite fair skin has become as loose and sallow as that of a woman in her 40s?

This is something Sakuraba Miki cannot tolerate, she has to get to the bottom of it.

Watanabe was obviously touched by the girl's sharp question. He carefully put himself in her shoes and understood clearly what made her unhappy. He then explained carefully:

"No, sorry I didn't make that clear.

"My classmate's eyebrows, the gentleness in the corners of his eyes, and especially his fair skin, are very similar to my adoptive mother...

"Well, this is the second time I've seen another girl have such beautiful skin."

Misunderstanding resolved.

Listening patiently to the man's explanation, Sakuraba Miki's slightly frowned brows relaxed, the corners of her eyes slightly raised, and a faint, gentle smile appeared on her lips.

The girl nodded slightly and agreed with Watanabe's explanation. She also became curious. Are there really women like her, whose looks can only be described as ordinary, but whose skin condition is the best in the world?

"It may sound a bit presumptuous, but if it's okay... can I see a picture of the teacher's, um, mother?"

Princess Sakuraba wants to see.

Her request was presumptuous enough, so she even used the title "teacher" because she didn't know how to address the man in front of her. She couldn't just say "hey".

"...I'm sorry, my adoptive mother passed away a few years ago." Watanabe Tetsuya lowered his eyes to look at the crescent moon on the river: "Due to some accidents, I don't have any photos of her...I'm sorry."

She didn't expect this to be the case. No wonder the other party was so surprised when he saw her for the first time. After realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Sakuraba Miki reacted quickly and apologized to Watanabe Toru.

The topic was cut off and they couldn't continue the conversation. For a moment, the atmosphere between the man and the girl became so quiet that it became subtle.

Fortunately, the whistling of cars speeding past behind me was heard again, and the awkward silence did not continue.

"Teacher...can I call you that?"

"Of course, please help yourself, students."

It was rare for Toru Watanabe to want to chat with any woman other than his newlywed wife, Noriko.

He knew exactly what the reason was.
