I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

"What do you think, Little Trainer?"

Koyo gave a forced smile, then, as if remembering something, took out a stack of documents from her small bag and looked at Kitahara Shinji.

"By the way, Kitahara, there's something I wanted to talk to you about, it's about the training over the past month..."

Shinji Kitahara was taken aback, somewhat confused as to how the topic had shifted so quickly.

But since Xiao Youyi was talking about serious matters, and he had indeed considered it before coming, he didn't dwell on it too much. He then looked down at the document and listened to Xiao Youyi's explanation.

As he spoke, Shinji Kitahara's expression gradually became serious, and his attention became more focused.

Then he didn't realize that Xiao Youyi's body seemed to be slowly moving closer, and even one of her hands was already touching his leg.

Then, after Kitahara Shinji was in this state, Koya took the opportunity to look up and silently glance at Surugawa Tesuna.

Surugawa Tessuna raised an eyebrow, remained silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and sat down on the other side of Kitahara Shinji.

"If we're going to pretend later, it'll be very necessary to know about your partner's team, right?"

Surugawa Tezuna explained with a smile.

Shinji Kitahara was taken aback. Although he felt that something was amiss, he also felt that it made sense, so he didn't pay much attention to it and tacitly allowed Tsuna Sugawa to come over.

Then, seeing Tsuna so shamelessly squeeze in, Koyo suddenly felt a surge of crisis. Taking advantage of Kitahara Shinji's serious moment, she tried to squeeze closer to him, almost sinking into his arms.

On the other side, seeing Koya's actions, Tsuna's eyes flickered a few times. Then, under the pretext of looking at the data, he moved closer to Kitahara Shinji, his warm breath within reach.

Feed them, get close, stick to them...

Competition is intensifying, and actions are becoming increasingly obvious.

But just as Suguruga Tessuna and Koyaichi were staring at each other with sparks flying, and were practically pressed against Kitahara Shinji, a voice rang out.

"Um, two of you."

Sensing the touch coming from his side, Kitahara Shinji continued to look intently at the documents in front of him, and subconsciously said...

"Could you move to the side a little bit?"

"I feel a bit cramped."

Chapter 147: Mr. Shinji is an idiot

Due to someone's various bizarre actions, this brief dinner ended in a subtle atmosphere.

Although Tsuna and Mataichi disliked each other and their struggles were quite intense, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were at odds.

But now.

Looking at that idiot over there, completely oblivious to the current situation, looking at the various documents in his hand while lamenting to them how good and cheap that izakaya was.

Suddenly, they felt a sense of powerlessness, and even couldn't help but doubt themselves.

Was their struggle just now really necessary when faced with such a stupid blockhead?

As for Shinji Kitahara, although he noticed that the atmosphere after the dinner seemed a bit awkward, he didn't dwell on it too much.

After all, the idea of ​​pretending to be a boyfriend is strange enough, not to mention that this time, Tsuna Suguru is trying to keep it a secret from the entire academy.

Let alone the two of them, even he himself felt that something was strange, and some of his unusual behavior was quite normal.

So he didn't pay much attention to the strange behavior between the two.

Compared to the strange behavior of the two people, he was more concerned about the discounts and promotions at the izakaya. After paying the bill, he even asked for a copy of the promotional flyer to take home and study it carefully.

As for the other two, after watching his behavior, they remained silent for a while, then looked at each other and sighed in unison, both seeing the same emotion in each other's eyes.

Then, in this delicate atmosphere, Shinji Kitahara returned to his dormitory.

After my usual washing and internal care, I went to bed and ended my day's activities.

The moon sets, the sun rises, and a night passes.

I got up, washed up, ate breakfast, went to the training ground, and then started to slack off.

Everything returned to its familiar, peaceful, and stable state.

Shinji Kitahara felt quite good about it.

Although he doesn't use the name "So-and-so" or "So-and-so," as someone who also yearns for a peaceful life, Shinji Kitahara naturally leans towards a calm and regular existence.

As he was arranging things, Shinji Kitahara suddenly noticed that in this long-lost peace and tranquility, there seemed to be a slight discordant note.

Special week.

Because he deliberately avoided it yesterday, he was unaware of what had happened between Special Week and Ms. Cao.

I only remember that when we gathered before the end of training, she seemed a little unhappy.

But at that time he didn't pay attention to this small detail.

Yesterday, Suzuka had some things to take care of and couldn't come to the training ground for the whole afternoon.

Shinji Kitahara thought that the special week might be because of this, so he didn't pay much attention to this small detail.

But the problem is, today, Suzuka was right beside her.

But Zhou still seemed unenthusiastic. His usually energetic tail and ears were now listless, and his training steps were heavier than usual.

Strange, didn't Suzuka come today? And why does she seem uninterested in Silent Suzuka today? This is a bit odd...

Shinji Kitahara looked at her, pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of another possibility and frowned slightly.

Wait, could something have gone wrong with Ms. Cao?

After realizing this, Shinji Kitahara thought about it more and more and felt that this was very likely.

After all, Suzuka wasn't there yesterday, and the person who communicated most with Special Week was Ms. Kusa.

Moreover, judging from the way Ms. Cao rushed over earlier, he certainly wouldn't believe that nothing had happened.

After thinking for a while, he felt that Ms. Cao might have confessed to Special Zhou yesterday, and then Special Zhou was so frightened after learning that someone was thinking about him every day.

Thinking this, he looked at Grasshopper and raised an eyebrow.

Contrary to his expectations, after looking over, he discovered that Grasshopper's training performance had not only not deteriorated today, but had even improved considerably compared to yesterday.

Shinji Kitahara knew that his care must have played a part in this.

But the problem is that he knows even better that level of care alone would definitely not achieve the current results.

In order to achieve the current effect, in addition to his care, Ms. Cao's mindset must have also changed, which can be seen from her light steps.

Could it be that after being frank and open yesterday, the psychological burden was reduced, which led to a better performance?

Shinji Kitahara thought this way, but then felt that something was not right.

Judging from Special Weekly's reaction, even if Grasshopper confessed directly, Special Weekly didn't seem to accept it at all. Logically, Grasshopper should be unhappy too...

It's just weird.

After much thought, Shinji Kitahara still couldn't figure out what had happened yesterday to cause the situation to turn out this way.

So he decided to ask the person involved directly.

Although he doesn't really like to meddle in other people's relationships, Zhou is different from Taobao, which has an agreement with him not to interfere with each other.

Faced with this situation that was clearly affecting her training, he could not sit idly by, whether as an elder or a trainer.

Just after Kitahara Shinji made this decision, before he could figure out how to find her, Special Week approached him first after lunch.

"Mr. Shinji..."

She looked at him pitifully, her eyes filled with sadness and grievance.

Seeing her like this, Shinji Kitahara sighed and said helplessly.

"There are too many people here, let's go somewhere else to talk."

Special Zhou nodded, and then obediently followed Kitahara Shinji to his dormitory.

Enter, close the door, and then sit on the sofa.

The moment he sat down, Shinji Kitahara felt something in his arms.

He wasn't surprised. Instead, he skillfully patted her back and used his other hand to roll up her hair and gently rub it.

He didn't rush to ask what had happened to Te Zhou, but maintained this state for a while, and only spoke after he felt that she was in a slightly better mood.

"What's wrong? You seem unhappy today?"

Zhou hesitated for a while, but in the end he could only stammer and couldn't say anything.

Because she genuinely didn't know how to say it.

After what happened yesterday, although she was briefly angry because of Grasshopper's provocation, after she came to her senses, she felt more confused and sad.

Zhou genuinely considers Grasshopper a friend.

While she may not reach the level of Silent Suzuka, she ranks quite high among the remaining friends.

Moreover, previously, Ms. Cao had been helping her side by providing assistance.

Zhou's affection for her rose to another level; she was practically her favorite and most trusted friend besides Silent Suzuka.

As for Shinji Kitahara?

This is an exception and is not included in the regular ranking.

But just yesterday, Grasshopper did that.

That overly obvious act of betrayal, which showed hostility towards her.

To be honest, even if Kusakabe had told her back then that he also liked Shinji and would never help her again, Zhou wouldn't be as confused and sad as she is now.

In her opinion, it's not surprising that Kusa would like someone as good as Shinji.

And let alone liking her, if Kusakabe were willing to talk to her properly, she certainly wouldn't give up Shinji-san.

But considering their friendship and the many times she had helped him out, Zhou was willing to share some things about Shinji with her.

For example, his preferences, or some little-known habits.

Especially now that the competition in the Kitahara Cup is so fierce, Zhou is also a little uncertain and wants to find a trustworthy teammate.

At worst, we can unite against the others first, and then settle the score with each other after we've defeated them.

but now......

Recalling what happened yesterday, recalling Grasshopper's words and smiles, Zhou's eyes grew increasingly confused and sad.

She didn't know what she had done wrong. Everything was normal when they chatted the day before, but things turned out differently the next day.

Besides seeking comfort and a hug, she came to find Shinji Kitahara to find out what exactly happened yesterday.

After all, Kusakabe only became like that after returning from his place yesterday, so she felt that something might have happened with Kitahara Shinji to cause this situation.

But when she actually arrived, she found that she didn't know how to start the conversation.

Should I just be frank? That won't do.

After all, the fact that she can now stay in Kitahara Shinji's arms in this state and enjoy all kinds of everyday affection is all based on the premise that Mr. Shinji is unaware of her thoughts.

In the current situation, if he were to know her feelings...

Rejection is certain, and it will be very difficult to have this kind of intimate contact again in the future, which may even cause him to feel resistant towards you.

But she's really not good at using indirect methods.

Although her intelligence improved considerably along with her hair growth.

The problem is that she has a straightforward personality, and no matter how much her IQ improves, she's still not good at this kind of thing.

So, when faced with Shinji Kitahara's question, she stammered for a long time and couldn't say anything.

But just as she was agonizing over this, Shinji Kitahara spoke up first.

"Is it because of what happened with Grasshopper?"

Special Zhou's body stiffened slightly, then she nodded gently in his arms.

Seeing her nod, Shinji Kitahara sighed.

To be honest, he's not quite sure if Ms. Cao has been honest with Special Zhou or what plans she's making, so he's currently having a headache about how to talk to Special Zhou about it.

But no matter how much of a headache it is, as an adult (in my opinion), I am still the trainer for both of them.
