[Jie Mai] Is the sharp knife teacher cooing?

56.

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

After saying these words, Neb quietly clenched the hand that touched the postcard in his coat pocket.He could clearly feel the corners of the postcard made of good material, slightly sunk into the skin, trying to pull him out of the panic.

After what seemed like a century, he heard Jack's answer:

"Thenstay, for you are beautiful."

The foggy London accent floated into the air, gently surrounding him.

There was a momentary pause in breathing.

Nabu withdrew his hand and turned around.

Jack got up from the bench.In the dim light cast by the billboards of well-known alumni by the side of the road, only his face can be vaguely seen.

He smiled, as gentle as ever.With the glare of the daylight fading away, the tenderness that once made Naibu feel alienated has become real, so real that it seems that as long as he takes a step forward, he can have it.

The pupil of the student union president was shining, and he approached slowly, and the hand hidden under the cuff also tentatively reached out to him, touching his fingertips.

Nabu didn't run away.He hooked the opponent's fingertips and closed his eyes.

Time finds a gap to flow.The leaves above their heads trembled in the breeze, and some withered and yellow leaves swirled and fell, making a slight sound as they left the branches.

"Meow——" The brown-yellow cat came out of nowhere, jumped onto the bench, and looked at them with its head tilted.

The two of them took a step back as if they were electrocuted.

"It's Mr. Beard..." Jack withdrew his hand and patted the top of the cat's head naturally.

Mr. Beard narrowed his eyes and rubbed against Jack's palm affectionately.

Naibu pursed his lips, feeling that his heartbeat had not yet returned to normal.

"Let's go, we really should go back."

57.

"Then what? Then what happened? How did Jack answer?" Kreacher sat on the bed, hugged the pillow tightly, his eyes revealed full of curiosity and anticipation under the dim light of the lit phone screen.

Neb's sigh dissipated in the room filled with darkness.

The school didn't have a mandatory requirement to turn off the lights, but just as he walked in the door 10 minutes ago, Kreacher rushed out and "snapped" to turn off the lights, turned on his multicolored flashlight and waved it around, forcing Neb to ask if Jack confessed, they Do you have any kisses?

In his original words, "Look, the moon is so big and round tonight, how suitable for shameful things!"

What fairy logic?Naibu calmly turned on the light, put on his slippers and put down his schoolbag to wash up.

"Then Jack said—" Hesitantly, Nebu took a slight breath, feeling the faint taste of mint in his mouth.

"——Thenstay, for you are beautiful."

"Ah!" Kreacher yelled, clutching his heart and falling back on the bed, "It's too sweet!"

"...and then Mr. Beard popped up out of nowhere."

"What?" Kreacher sat up abruptly, his mood visibly collapsed, with a look of disappointment on his face. "So no kisses?"

"No." Nebu replied succinctly, "Why are you so persistent?"

"Mr. Beard is really annoying..." Kreacher turned his head and started talking to himself, ignoring his roommate's somewhat angry question.

"Thank you, Mr. Beard." Naib said calmly, "For stopping my irrational behavior before I have thought it through."

As he spoke, he opened the forum, ready to release the revised archive.

After the APP page is loaded, what comes into view is a new private message from 3 minutes ago.

"Rose": Teacher Jiandao, aren't you too? ('-ω-`)

It took a few seconds for Mr. Jiandao to realize what the other party was referring to, and for the first time felt that Mrs. Rose's originally cute emoji could be so terrifying.

Sharp knife: [temporarily speechless.jpg]

Sharp Knife: Keep silent, us.

"Rose": Don't want to face the base?

Sharp knife: I don't want to.

"Rose": Consensus (◎｀?ω?′) person (′?ω?｀*)

"Rose": Is the sharp knife teacher paying for it? ('?ω?`)

sharp knife:……

Sharp knife: Why bring this up again. 【Ugly refusal.jpg】

No longer in the mood to update, Teacher Jiandao threw the phone aside and pulled the quilt to get ready to sleep.

58.

In a daze, Neb suddenly remembered that the postcard that Jack gave him was still in his coat pocket.

After struggling under the warm blanket for a while, Naibu turned over and sat up, got out of bed and touched the hanger by the door with bare feet.

In fact, he didn't look at it seriously before. At that time, he could only feel the temperature of Jack's breath close at hand, and he didn't notice what passed before his eyes.

Kreacher had already fallen asleep, and his body rose and fell regularly with his breathing.

Back on the bed, Naib turned on the portable bedside lamp, covered his head with the quilt, and created a small space.

On a light green background, a boy is sitting on a bench with a cat in his arms.

Neb suddenly remembered that before he started having breakfast with Jack and the others, he was often alone in the restaurant, listening to music or news, and brought something to Mr. Beard when he left.He would take a long detour to a certain main road on campus, where Mr. Beard haunted for a long time.

Sometimes he can't catch up with the morning self-study, put down the food in a hurry and leave.

Sometimes it was still early, and he would sit on the bench with the cat for a while, just like the picture on the postcard.

It was not yet winter at that time, and Mr. Beard was still a flexible cat, not the round one he saw tonight.

After that, he started going to restaurants with Jack, and Neb never made a special trip to visit Mr. Beard.For the first few days, he still felt a little guilty, but then he gradually forgot about it.

Neb looked at it for a while, then carefully put the postcard into the book he was reading recently, and put it next to the pillow.
