Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

Page 43

I was stupid. Since Saeko was already working for the country, her so-called academic qualifications were just a joke.

"That's great. Two years have passed in a flash, and Saeko has grown into a big girl." With a comfortable smile on her face, Shizuka Hiratsuka approached Busujima Saeko and put her arms around her neck as she looked secretly surprised.

"Tell me, are there a lot of boys chasing after you?"

"I don't pay much attention to those." Shaking her head slightly, Busujima Saeko kept a faint smile on her face, and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka who was nearby with deep eyes.

"Teacher Jing, you should understand me."

"Uh..." He scratched his head awkwardly. Although Busujima Saeko had been behaving very normally these past two days, Hiratsuka Shizuka still knew very well what kind of girl she was.

"Forget it, let's not talk about those things for now." Shizuka Hiratsuka waved her hand pretending to be relaxed. She was complaining in her heart about why she had turned the topic to such an embarrassing situation, but her eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something proud.

"Let's go, Saeko. It's not convenient to have dinner with Xiaolan and the others before. Let's go for a midnight snack." Patting Busujima Saeko's shoulder, Hiratsuka Shizuka took the lead.

"I know a really good pub!"

. . .

"Teacher Jing, is this the tavern you mentioned?" Her narrow and long almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly. Looking at the two dim lanterns hanging at the door of this shop that didn't even have a plaque, Busujima Saeko suddenly felt a little uneasy for some reason.

Slowly calming down her guilty conscience, she adjusted her breath and carefully felt it. Without any gain, Busujima Saeko doubtfully let go of her hand holding the cloth bag.

Maybe I was too nervous. After all, it was normal for me to find it strange that such a strange pub appeared in such a dark alley.

This is the pub that Teacher Jing often comes to, so there shouldn't be any problems.

"Well, it's here, Saeko. Don't be fooled by the fact that this pub looks ordinary from the outside, but the wine and food inside are great, and the atmosphere for drinking is also very good. The regulars are all interesting people." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded with a smile and placed her hand on the handle of the paper door.

"If you weren't an adult, Saeko, I wouldn't have brought you to the tavern."

"Hua La~" Without any hesitation, Shizuka Hiratsuka exerted force with her right hand and pulled the paper door open completely with a hua La.

Holding Busujima Saeko's arm with her backhand, Shizuka Hiratsuka strode into the tavern with a smile.

"Oh, you're all here, I brought guests today!"

"Oh, it's Brother Jing, you're here today too..." He subconsciously raised his hand to greet him. The fat man who usually sat closest to the door raised his head, his silly smile frozen on his face, and his eyes suddenly fixed on Busujima Saeko, whose expression suddenly changed behind Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Not only the fat man, but everyone in the tavern stopped what they were doing and looked at Busujima Saeko behind Hiratsuka Shizuka with unconcealed eyes.

Not only the people in the tavern, but also Busujima Saeko, who followed Hiratsuka Shizuka in, had no trace of a smile on her face at this moment.

She held her breath and concentrated, as if even breathing was difficult. The muscles on Busujima Saeko's face were tense and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Looking at the people in the room, Busujima Saeko found that she had no way of holding the samurai sword in the bag in her arms with her hands that seemed to have lost control.

"No!" Feeling the increasingly intense and fierce pressure on her, Busujima Saeko subconsciously looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka standing in front of her.

A determination flashed in her eyes, and Busujima Saeko bit her tongue without hesitation. When severe pain and blood filled her mouth, Busujima Saeko's trembling hand finally reached into the cloth bag and grasped the handle of the knife.

"What's wrong? Are you all stunned? I know Saeko is very beautiful, but there is no need for you to be like this. You all look so fierce and ferocious, and you will scare people." Although it felt a little strange, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't care so much when she thought about their inexplicable behavior when she first came to this tavern.

"Okay, if you still want to arm wrestle or something, come back later. Take away those murderous looks in your eyes, or I'll beat you up~" Shaking her fist, Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and pulled Busujima Saeko, who was looking at her in a daze, to the seat where the fat man was sitting and sat down.

A trace of cold sweat ran down Busujima Saeko's forehead. Busujima Saeko now had no idea what to do.

I had just made up my mind and was ready to send Shizuka Hiratsuka out of this dangerous place that made me tremble with fear, even if it meant sacrificing myself. But just when I was ready to perish together with her, Shizuka Hiratsuka said just two seemingly insignificant words, and the pressure on me disappeared out of thin air.

After swallowing the blood in her mouth, Busujima Saeko glanced at the guests around her in doubt. After hesitating for a long time, she finally pulled her hand out of the cloth bag. However, the cloth bag was still firmly held in her arms, making it easy to take out.

"Mr. Kong, give me two of our signature side dishes and two cold beers." Sitting carefree on a wooden chair, Shizuka Hiratsuka greeted Mr. Kong behind the counter.

"Okay, wait a moment." He gently put the empty plate in his hand aside, and Kong Lao narrowed his eyes and swept lightly over Hiratsuka Shizuka and Busujima Saeko, then responded softly.

"Don't be too nervous, Saeko. Even though they look scary, they are actually nice people." Seeing Busujima Saeko being inexplicably restrained, Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and patted her shoulder.

"What you said, Brother Jing, makes it seem like all of us brothers are bad guys." With a smile on his face again, the fat man picked up the wine glass and said to Shizuka Hiratsuka with a smile.

"Fatty, with your looks, you don't even need makeup to play a villain. The director will even ask you to be more reserved." Shizuka Hiratsuka said with a smile as she naturally reached out and picked up a piece of fried tempura from the fat man's plate.

"Every time I come here to drink, I feel bad for Yingluo. She's such a good kid, hanging out with you guys every day."

"That's right, that's right. I'm here to improve your looks, but you guys are always mean to me!" Nodding in agreement, Huajian Yingluo skipped and came to sit next to Hiratsuka Shizuka with a smile.

"Brother Jing, you came early today. Is there any good news~" A pair of legs as white as jade lotus roots swung leisurely. Huajian Yingluo had a sweet smile on her face. Her eyes shifted slightly and looked at Busujima Saeko who was sitting next to her with an unnatural expression.

"Is she your friend, Jing? She looks so young~"

"She's my former student. I haven't seen her for two years, so I brought her to Tokyo to play." Shizuka Hiratsuka said casually, smiling and touching Huajian Yingluo's little head.

"Well, when I wanted to drink, the first thing I thought of was you guys. That's pretty nice, isn't it~"

"No problem, Brother Jing has always been like this!~" Huajian Yingluo smiled and gave a thumbs up, then turned her head and smiled at Busujima Saeko.

"Miss, it's a little easier to be here~"

"Put down what you're holding. It's useless anyway. Don't you get tired of holding it all the time~"

Chapter 101 Will Brother Jing Know?

"Whoo~"

Slowly exhaling a breath with a hint of blood, Busujima Saeko closed her eyes. When she opened them again, a faint smile was on her face again, which was not so natural, but not contrived.

"It's worthy of being the tavern that Teacher Jing likes. It feels really different." Busujima Saeko loosened the cloth bag in her hand and gently stood aside. She placed her hands gracefully on her legs and spoke softly.

"Right, Saeko." He nodded with a smile. Seeing that Busujima Saeko beside him finally felt relieved, Hiratsuka Shizuka also felt relieved.

Sure enough, compared to the scary-looking guys like Fatty, the beautiful Huajian Yingluo is more able to calm people down.

Nodding with satisfaction to Huajian Yingluo, Shizuka Hiratsuka stood up and took a large glass of beer and a glass of slightly cool water from Kong Lao behind the counter.

"Hey, Mr. Kong, I want two beers." Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked, looking at Mr. Kong in surprise. "Although Saeko is my student, she can already drink."

"I don't care whether she is old enough to drink or not." With a look of disdain at the innocent-looking Shizuka Hiratsuka, Mr. Kong placed the tray in Shizuka Hiratsuka's hands.

"That girl can't drink alcohol right now. You're her teacher, so please be more careful."

"Eh? Can't drink?" After blinking in surprise, Shizuka Hiratsuka realized that she had asked an unnecessary question. After all, even a child as young as Huajian Yingluo could drink in this tavern, so it seemed that Master Kong was not a person who followed the rules.

only.

"Saeko, what's wrong with your mouth?" Shizuka Hiratsuka returned to her seat with a tray and looked at Busujima Saeko beside her seriously. Her keen observation allowed her to quickly discover something unnatural about Busujima Saeko.

"Ah, it's nothing serious. I just tripped when I entered the door and ended up breaking my tongue." Busujima Saeko spoke as if she was a little embarrassed, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Because some of them are too stupid, I don't really want to tell you, Teacher Jing."

"Oh, so that's the case. What's there to be embarrassed about? I always bite the food inside my mouth when I eat." Shaking her head in amusement, Shizuka Hiratsuka naturally stretched out her hand and gently pinched Busujima Saeko's chin.

"Come on, ah, open your mouth and let me see."

"Ah~" Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka's face so close to her, Busujima Saeko blinked, opened her mouth obediently, and revealed her small tongue.

"Well, it was indeed bitten, and the wound is quite big, girl." Shaking her head with some heartache, Shizuka Hiratsuka put her hand on Busujima Saeko's head and rubbed it gently.

"Does it still hurt now?"

"I'm better now. It just looks a little scary. Actually, I'm not in that much pain." With her eyes slightly narrowed, Busujima Saeko instinctively moved her head back and forth, rubbing it carefully in Hiratsuka Shizuka's palm.

"Teacher Jing, don't forget what I'm training for. This kind of pain is nothing for me to worry about."

"This is not a reason for you to be careless and not take care of your body." Shizuka Hiratsuka knocked Busujima Saeko's head pretending to be angry and handed the clean water on the tray to Saeko.

"Old Du, aren't you a medicine dealer? Do you have any anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs on you?" Looking at Busujima Saeko taking a sip of water, Hiratsuka Shizuka turned her head and looked at a man with a body as thick as a bamboo pole who was sitting against the inner wall.

"Brother Jing, don't listen to what they say. I really don't deal in medicine." Shaking his head with a bitter face, the bamboo man glared at the others who were looking at him with a wicked smile, sighed, and took out a small box from his pocket.

"Here, if it's just a bitten tongue, just give her one of these and some water." Opening the small wooden box, Lao Du took out a red pill the size of a little finger, took two steps and handed it to Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"You carry medicine with you, and you still say you are not a medicine seller." Taking the pill, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at this simple-style pill with some curiosity.

"Tsk, do you want it?"

"Of course, you're sure it'll work, right?"

"Well, it will work after you eat it. You can ask her to accompany you for drinks and meals later." Waving his hand lazily, Lao Du sat back in his seat.

"Okay, thank you very much. I'll bring you some good wine next time!" Nodding with a smile, Hiratsuka Shizuka sat back in her seat and handed the pill to Busujima Saeko beside her.

"Come on, Saeko, give it a try."

"Okay, Teacher Shizuka." Busujima Saeko gently took the pill handed to her by Hiratsuka Shizuka with a faint smile on her face. Without any hesitation, she naturally put the pill into her mouth, chewed it gently twice, and then drank a sip of water.

Seeing Busujima Saeko's decisive action, the expressions of the people in the tavern changed slightly.

"The food is here, come and serve it yourself."

"Okay, Master Kong, don't lose your skills today. I brought my students here specially to show my support for you~"

"Heh, when has there ever been any problem with the food I cook? Eat yours."

"Really? But I heard from Fatty that you made a fish dish a while ago and it made everyone's stomachs upset for several days."

"Pfft! No, I didn't. Brother Jing, don't talk nonsense! I, Fatty, always eat whatever is available! I'm never picky!" Looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka in astonishment, the Fatty looked like he was about to cry.

"Really? Then just pretend I remembered it wrongly."

"Is this something that can be misremembered, Brother Jing? No, Master Kong, Master Kong, listen to my explanation!"

. . .

"Okay, no need to see me off. I'm leaving first. You guys take your time drinking~" Standing at the door of the tavern, Shizuka Hiratsuka waved with a smile, said goodbye to everyone in the tavern, and left the tavern with Busujima Saeko.

Looking at the slowly closing paper door, the guests in the tavern looked at each other, but no one took the initiative to speak.

"The person has left." Putting the clean wine glass in his hand on the shelf on the counter, Kong Lao, who had been squinting his eyes, spoke slowly.

"Yeah, they're gone." Shaking her calves, Huajian Yingluo supported her hands on both sides of her hips and swayed back and forth like a swing.

"That woman." Putting down the wine glass in his hand, the fat man no longer had a silly smile on his face. His expression was as serious as when Shizuka Hiratsuka first saw him.

"It's okay." After wiping his hands with a towel, Kong Lao took out a cigarette from the cigarette box on the counter. There was no lighter, and the cigarette burned out of thin air.

"We don't care what those people do, we just have to live by our own rules."

"I'm not worried either." Huajian Yingluo nodded with a smile, stopped shaking, and had an ambiguous smile on her face.

"That little girl really listens to Brother Jing~"

"Do you think Brother Jing will know?" The fat man blinked and spoke thoughtfully.

"Who knows~" Her fingers gently drew circles on the table, and Huajian Yingluo's eyes turned into a bright cherry color at some point.

"But I guess that's not the case~"
