[Jie Mai] Is the sharp knife teacher cooing?

Chapter 23

65.

early morning.

Jack lay on the bed staring at the phone screen.No one connects to his hotspot.

Weakly entering the private message page, Jack typed a line and deleted it, and simply dragged two emoticons from the album and threw them over to the other party.

"Rose": [Mr. Sharp Dao doesn't update, I'm going to die lol.jpg]

"Rose": [The world is not worth it.jpg]

no reply.Mrs. Rose sighed, long pressed to turn off the phone, and turned to face the wall.After waking up the next morning and turning it on, the message prompt bar displayed a new private message:

Sharp knife: [I am a ruthless Gushou.jpg]

"Is Mr. Sharp Knife cooing?" A group of people walked in silence on the way to the restaurant, when Qiao Ke suddenly uttered these words coldly.

"Goo." Kreacher replied, "It's been a week."

With their hands in their pockets, the two walked in unison, with solemn expressions.

"Some time ago, I left a few cookies. I thought that the sharp knife, high yield, and the teacher were coming back, but——"

"You think too much."

"It's because I was thinking too much." Juke's proud red hair looked a little limp under the attack of the cold air.

"Today would be one of my worst Christmas Eves without Mr. Sharp Knife's update," Kreacher commented.

Jack didn't speak.

Naibu, who was walking beside him, didn't speak either.

In fact, Mrs. Jay Rose wanted to stop the discussion between the two roommates, after all, it seemed inappropriate to discuss CP in front of herself and Neb—but it felt like she was trying to hide it.

He looked to the side and found that Nebu's eyes were empty, as if he didn't pay attention to what they were talking about.

I heard that my crush also watches JRNS doujin.Jack suddenly recalled that he accidentally saw the lock screen of Neb's mobile phone - Mrs. Rose's little fresh JRNS.

At that time, when Nebu turned around and found that JR in JRNS was behind him, his expression was exactly the same as [alert.jpg].

However, a certain student union president felt inexplicably excited when he thought that his crush might have seen the R18 he drew.

66.

As a member of the student union, Jack and his roommate arrived at the auditorium in the afternoon to prepare for the Christmas Eve chorus party.Qiu Ke, who changed into the performance costume in advance, became the most beautiful boy among the student union members who were all in black suits and white skirts, ah no, he was the most beautiful dragon.

Jack walked up and down in the auditorium to check the work of various departments, and the evil dragon who was supposed to move props quietly followed him around.

After repeated warnings from the Minister of Learning, Marta, were ineffective, Jack finally stopped and turned to face his roommate:

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

Qiu Ke showed an expression of "you finally understand", looked left and right to make sure there was no one else, then lowered his voice and said to him, "It's nothing, I just want to ask when will you confess your love?"

"What?" Jack wondered if he had heard it wrong.

"Honestly, I can't stand checking in on that [Are JRNS together today?] post every day - you really have to go and see how sad those CP girls are, daily check-in has become Cry every day, really, I didn't lie to you."

Although he didn't quite understand how the topic became like this, Jack still expressed his thoughts: "Probably—it's just these two days, and I don't plan to procrastinate any longer."

Qiu Ke patted him on the shoulder: "Come on, anyway, you have to have something to eat - otherwise your knight will be snatched away by the elementary school girl."

"Elementary school girl?"

"Yeah, you didn't read the forum, did you? A lot of elementary school girls are planning to do big things for Christmas—don't think that the whole world is your CP fans. The black fans have created a post to scold you, called [Today jio grams exploded] Yet?】."

67.

During the break, Jack sat on the side and opened the forum, entered keywords in the search bar, and found the post about daily check-in mentioned by Joke.

[Daily check-in] Is JRNS together today?

Chair teacher Gu Gu Gu Gu: Christmas Eve.No.

divt??: None.I cried.

BangBangBang: Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they have an affair—my mother is very tired of being crushed.

JOKER??: No. 【I play Chopin in the rain.jpg】

Flashlight scrolling keyboard: still nothing. 【I dance ballet in the desert.jpg】

Jiujiu?: No _(:_」∠)_ can only expect something to happen at Christmas.

Soulmate: Christmas Wish List - No. 1. JRNSplzbereal.

1950: No mess.Today's JRNS girls are just as humble. ????

......

It was a bottomless post. After turning a few pages, Jack found that the content was all "No", so he clicked "Exit".

Driven by curiosity, he entered "did jio explode today" in the search bar, and then regretted it.

The content of the post ranges from criticizing him with a paralyzed face to saying that he has no affinity, and even saying that he, as a student cadre, messes around with CP to bring down the school atmosphere...

After reading it line by line, he felt amused, and he began to hate this gloomy, incompetent student council president with no real strength.

"What are you looking at?" The short-haired girl suddenly approached from behind.

Jack didn't move.

Emma stared at the screen of his mobile phone for a while, and let out a "tsk". "Don't look at these things," the head of the Propaganda Department helped him close the page, "Almost everyone in the student union has been opened such a post, don't take it seriously."

Mrs. Rose put the phone back in her pocket.

Emma patted Jack on the shoulder. "I remember reading a sentence before. I don't remember the specifics, but it roughly meant, 'I seldom explain and don't respond. In fact, their various annotations and readings of me do not constitute one ten thousandth of me. , but they are unobstructed.'

"So just be happy. Don't you, Mrs. Rose?"

"Well, wait a minute—" Jack felt that the topic changed unexpectedly, "What did you say?"

Emma just smiled with her hands behind her back.

Jack felt a little flustered. "Joke told you?"

"No, I've always been so skeptical—after all, I haven't received any of the magazine illustrations promised by someone." Emma smiled brightly, "Isn't it drawing fandom, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Rose feels that her current state can be described as [temporary speech loss.jpg].

"Then I saw you playing forums at the back of the classroom the other day—hidden deep, Chairman!" Emma patted Jack on the shoulder, "So I won't go [JRNS together today] to sign in, someone thought I Retired - but how is this possible? JRNSireal!"

"Didn't tell anyone else?"

"No, but I'm looking forward to your drop."

"Don't." Mrs. Jay Rose had the urge to cancel her account.

"By the way, let's get down to business. Please be mentally prepared—if nothing happens, the dragon will take away not the princess but the prince tonight. After that, you know, let's play on the spot." Emma shot again Pat him on the shoulder, turn around and prepare to leave.

Jack frowned.

"No, I don't agree to change the script."

68.

Teacher Jiandao has been afraid to open the forum for a week.

I heard from Marta that there are now rumors in the JRNS fan circle that "teacher with a sharp knife rolled into the pit and escaped"-Neb calmly said that as a noble pigeon, his heart is not disturbed.

However, he must complain about the school's APP if he has the opportunity. The mobile version of the forum is really poor in some aspects, such as the inability to turn off message reminders.You can’t prevent the message bar from popping up when you receive a new message, and the phone will vibrate even when the screen is locked.

After rehearsals on the night before Christmas Eve, Jack and Neb walked around the music plaza a few times before heading back.As the not-so-thick snow on the road melted a bit, Neb slipped when he walked to the crimson building, and Jack reached out to support him in time.

After realizing what happened, Nebu felt the coldness of the student council president's palm.

"Thank you." Naib stood firm and was about to withdraw his hand, but was held even tighter.

Jack seemed to be about to say something.

Unfortunately, Mr. Jiandao's phone started vibrating in his coat pocket.

"Did someone send you a message?" Jack let go of his hand as if suddenly awakened, and took a step back.

"I don't know, I'll see when I go back."

Naibu looked away, and didn't have the courage to hold the opponent's hand again.

After returning to the room and washing up, Mr. Jiandao lay down on the bed, chose to continue cooing and opened the official Oletis video software, and clicked on a clip he was crazy about recently.

The clip of less than 4 minutes was stuck into a PPT by the constantly popping up forum message reminders.

At first, Naibu patiently swiped his fingers to open the new messages, but then he became a little impatient, and after accidentally clicking into the forum and seeing the terrible number of unread private messages, he simply disconnected the Wi-Fi and lay down to listen to music.Anyway, there was a curfew, and he didn't dare to go to Mr. Rose's hotspot today without an update.

But Rose is really hardworking.

A true hardworking fairy.

The kind that can draw, photoshop, and edit.What Neb watched just now was the video "Drive" released by Mrs. Rose a few days ago.After accepting the roommate's Amway, Mr. Jiandao clicked on it with the idea of ​​"just take a look", and was successfully poisoned.

In the words of Mrs. Rose's copywriting, he just "cut and cut".

However, the fact is that Mrs. Rose Super Powerful relied on the videos secretly shot by fans and the student union promotional video on the school's official website, and she used some magic to cut out——

"Elopement on the JRNS Highway under the Doomsday Setting".

Neb would have believed it himself had he not known that the road escape was just a safari trip organized by the school, and that Jack and himself weren't even in the same pickup truck at the time.

Looking at the blank ceiling, Nai Bu's mind is full of scenes that suddenly switch at the moment when the piano accent falls when the BGM reaches its climax:

"Sayyoulovemetoo..."

Facing the light, Jack raised his eyes and smiled.

The music on the headphones played all night.When Naib woke up the next day, he found that the mobile phone next to his pillow was flashing a pitiful low-battery red light.He took off the earphones, rubbed his ears, stuffed the charging cable into his bag, and unlocked the phone screen.

The private message from Mrs. Rose lay in the long message list.

"Rose": [Mr. Sharp Dao doesn't update, I'm going to die lol.jpg]

"Rose": [The world is not worth it.jpg]

Write a road essay to Mrs. Rose after Christmas.Teacher Jiandao thought so, but still ruthlessly replied with an emoji:

Sharp knife: [I am a ruthless Gushou.jpg]

69.

For the rest of the afternoon, Neb didn't see Jack.

The president of the student union hurried to the auditorium after lunch, and Juke and Marta also left to prepare the venue, leaving him alone to wander around the school boringly, and finally entered the library , walked up the spiral staircase behind the hall, and carefully looked at the paintings on the wall one by one.

A simple oil painting attracted his attention—whether it is the small house as the main object, or the green plants as the distant view and close view, the whole picture can neither find a flat outline nor a clear outline. Clear shade.

Naib doesn't understand painting, but he can feel the fresh and moving emotions conveyed in the painting.

The line of sight gradually moved down, and a unified label was pasted on the lower left corner of the metal frame, which read:

"Talk Me Down"

By: Jack Ripper

It's signed Jack.Nabu froze.He always knew that Jack could draw, but had never actually seen his work until today.

He stood in front of the painting for a long time, and a story gradually formed in his mind.

The text message notification sounded suddenly.

"Where is it?" was a text message from Jack.

Teacher Jiandao subconsciously tensed his back.If nothing else, after the chorus party, he should have the courage to stop Jack backstage, and then...

Taking one last look at Jack's drawing, Neb turns and walks away.

70.

The actual performance and rehearsal are very different from the imagination.

Standing behind the curtain, Neb put his hands down after straightening his fiery red cloak for the last time, waiting for the opening.

The curtain in the center of the stage slowly rose with the short prelude, and twelve students dressed in choir standing on the steps began to sing in a soothing chorus.

Sitting at the long table in front of the performance stairs were the nobles attending the court banquet. Jack in white was particularly eye-catching in the crowd, and a suppressed low cheer erupted from the audience.

Nabu slightly closed the crimson curtain, and found that he couldn't see the situation off the stage at all, so he turned his gaze back to the center of the stage.He watched the king played by Mr. Orpheus arrange Princess Woods to sit next to Prince Ripert, clutching the saber at his side.

The lights were blinding.

After the cheerful piano interlude, the prince stood up, greeted everyone, and began the solo part.

Naib also read the lyrics silently.

"...Make my wish come true, all I want for Christmas—"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Neb felt that Jack's eyes glanced across most of the stage, looking at him.

"—is you."
