Chapter 204 My sister’s fear
The holiday slipped away silently, like sand in an hourglass; no matter how reluctant we were, we couldn't hold it back.
The three-day holiday flew by in the blink of an eye.
On the way to school with Bai Youqing, Bai Yuzhe could see that many buildings were blocked by rows of green iron fences, and were under maintenance and renovation.
The potholes on the road have all been filled and repaired, but they still look a bit unsightly from a distance.
on the road,
Bai Yuzhe was feeling the summer breeze when he suddenly felt a pair of arms tightly embracing him.
She is my younger sister.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Youqing remained silent.
The nightmare she had a few nights ago broke down her defenses; she felt her mind was unclean, as if it had been contaminated by something.
That dream was essentially a compilation of all the different books she had read before.
Then the main character became the older brother.
He himself became the victim.
Now, the first thing she does when she gets up is run into her brother's room to see if he has mysteriously disappeared.
When I left home in the morning,
Whenever she sees a bus, that disgusting memory uncontrollably resurfaces in her mind.
Startled, she quickly clung tightly to her brother, feeling as if she had been possessed.
Generally speaking, after a person has a dream at night, they can only remember a general outline of it when they wake up the next day.
But she is different. Even a day or two later, she still remembers the various events that happened in her dreams clearly, as if they were so real.
Bai Yuze didn't seem to care much.
She believes that it was this calamity that gave her a different perspective on life and death.
My younger sister has been acting a bit strange these past few days, but it's still within an acceptable range. She's just a bit more clingy than before and does a lot more housework.
Qiuyuan No.1 Middle School is still full of vitality in the morning.
Students, brimming with youthful energy, entered the campus to welcome a new day.
"Good morning, Hoshino-sensei."
When Bai Yuze entered the office, Hoshino Seri was already at her desk, engrossed in her work.
Hearing the greeting, she looked up and, upon seeing that it was Bai Yuze, smiled with equal enthusiasm.
Good morning, Teacher Xiaobai.
No matter how you look at it, Hoshino Seri's smile is so healing.
Diligent, hardworking, gentle, and friendly... all the attractive qualities of this young female teacher are embodied in her smile and demeanor.
Of course, it is also beautiful and cute.
The female teacher, who possessed so many virtues, turned out to be his girlfriend.
Heaven was very kind to him.
The moment I saw Hoshino Seri's smile, all the terrible calamities of the past few days vanished instantly.
Bai Yuze smiled as well, sat back down at his desk, and while tidying up the documents on it, said unhurriedly, "Professor Hoshino, I suddenly feel..."
"What do you think?"
"Having a girlfriend like you is incredibly lucky."
"Huh?" Hoshino Seri was somewhat puzzled by the sudden praise, both in tone and expression. "Shiro-sensei, why are you suddenly saying these things?"
"It was just a momentary feeling." Bai Yuze nodded, looking at the neat and clean desk.
"A fleeting thought?"
"Yes."
"Why would I have such feelings?"
Hoshino Seri was a little confused, her voice trailing off. Then, as if she remembered something, she puffed out one cheek and glared at the other person angrily: "Shiro-sensei, I understand."
"Know what?"
Looking at the other person's cute cheeks, Bai Yuze felt an urge to pinch them.
"Now I know why Teacher Xiaobai praised me like that."
"Um?"
"Is Teacher Xiaobai thinking of seeing me cosplay other weird characters again?"
Hoshino Seri said with absolute certainty, as if she had discovered the truth of the matter.
"Ah, this..." Bai Yuze hesitated for a moment.
To be honest, yesterday Hoshino Seri only cosplayed as Kikyo the Magician. He had his fun, but not entirely. Of course, he wanted to see if she had tried on all the cosplay outfits.
Seemingly noticing the subtle change in Shiro-sensei's expression, Hoshino Seri-sensei revealed an "I knew it" look.
"Did I hit the nail on the head?"
"Hoshino-sensei, you're so smart, but not now. We'll have to wait until summer vacation so you can get better."
Under Bai Yuzhe's expectant gaze, Hoshino Seri tilted her head, yet said with a hint of determination, "Actually, it can be done today~"
Hoshino Seri gently twirled a strand of hair behind her ear with her fingers. Her cheeks were flushed with a faint blush from the sunlight, adding to her shy charm.
"Oh, really?"
"To have such a beautiful, generous, and kind colleague as Hoshino-sensei... mmm"
Before Bai Yuze could finish speaking, Hoshino Seri blushed and covered his mouth, preventing him from continuing.
Perhaps before,
She was still somewhat reserved when it came to physical contact with Teacher Xiaobai in public.
But ever since we fought together these past few days,
She is much more relaxed now.
"Actually, that's not what I wanted to say, Hoshino-sensei. What I really wanted to say was that our class monitor, Xiao Qian, suggested to me..."
"We're planning to go to Kaiyue Lake together after the college entrance exams." Bai Yuze's gaze fell on Hoshino Seri's delicate profile, her long eyelashes fluttering gently in the light and shadow, as light as butterfly wings.
"I wonder if Hoshino-sensei will have time to participate?"
"But this seems to be your class activity. Would it be appropriate for me to participate?" Hoshino Seri hesitated.
"Don't worry, Hoshino-sensei, the students will be very happy if you're willing to participate."
"Okay, I understand."
Hoshino Seri nodded, without refusing.
The Judgment Team Exchange Tournament will be held in July. As the vice-captain, Violet can slack off and do nothing, but as the captain of Kikyo's Judgment Team, she can't. She actually has quite a lot to do.
But who could blame me when Teacher Xiaobai took the initiative to invite me?
There's nothing we can do about that.
We have no choice but to go back to working overtime.
I hope those magical girl juniors can forgive me, after all, those girls have complained about me a lot in the group chat before.
The two agreed.
Hoshino Seri then left the office to go to class.
The campus was enveloped in a layer of moonlight, hazy and gentle, like a thin veil covering the teaching buildings.
With the college entrance examination approaching, every student is wholeheartedly devoted to their studies.
Basically, the teachers won't interfere with them during the evening self-study sessions. They will let them choose the subjects they are weak in to review. With less than two weeks left until the college entrance examination, the effort they put in during these short ten days or so will not really affect the college entrance examination.
The classroom was silent. Bai Yuze sat on the podium, glanced at the time, and realized that get out of class was almost over.
He coughed lightly: "Ahem, Xiao Qian, didn't you have something to say?"
The students who had been looking down all raised their heads.
Xiao Qian is the class monitor. Although her grades are slightly lower, she has a very good personality, is always willing to help others, and has a very good reputation in the class.
Upon hearing Bai Yuze's words, Xiao Qian stood up without flinching and smiled, "I'm very sorry to have disturbed everyone's review. My main question is, after the college entrance examination, could the class go on a field trip together?"
Bai Yuze, standing to the side, nodded and said, "After the college entrance examination, everyone will basically go their separate ways, and it will be difficult to meet again in the future. I think the class monitor's suggestion is very good. Now I would like to know the opinions of the students."
"Yay!"
"No problem, I agree with both my hands and feet."
.
"Since everyone agrees, let's choose a place for an outing together."
His words immediately enlivened the atmosphere in the class, with everyone sharing their suggested outing locations. Bai Yuze then invited those who wanted to recommend places to come up and introduce them one by one. Afterwards, the students voted, and the place that received the most votes was—
Yikaiyue Lake.
Bai Yuze took out his notebook, wrote down the place name, and prepared to go back and search for relevant information and directions to the attraction.
"Mr. Shiro, remember to invite Mr. Hoshino too!"
At that moment, someone shouted something from the crowd, instantly changing the atmosphere.
"Yes, let's bring Hoshino-sensei along, and hopefully we can attend Shiro-sensei's wedding this summer!"
Looking at the noisy students below, Bai Yuze nodded. "Alright, I'll go and invite them first. If they refuse, then there's nothing I can do."
"As long as Mr. Bai invites her, Mr. Hoshino will definitely go. Others may not know, but I certainly do. I sit by the window, and every time Mr. Hoshino passes by our classroom, if Mr. Bai is teaching, his gaze is so tender and gentle. Conversely, whenever Mr. Hoshino is teaching, Mr. Bai lingers by the window for a long time."
"? Oh, is that so? How come I didn't notice?"
"Guess why your novels are always confiscated by Mr. Haku during Mr. Hoshino's classes, instead of by other teachers?"
"I knew it! When Hoshino-sensei is teaching, I always see Shiro-sensei's shadow."
"!"
Below the podium, a chorus of frogs croaked.
Bai Yuze awkwardly touched his nose. "Is it that obvious?"
at the same time,
During evening self-study, Bai Youqing from Class 1A of Grade 11 looked at the empty desk next to her and fell into deep thought. She remembered what the Lotus Magical Girl senior had told her when she visited her some time ago.
When you become a magical girl
Whenever you encounter someone or something that you subconsciously dislike or feel is off, you must pay close attention and be careful.
This is based on my experience from serving for a long time.
Because magical girls are naturally much more sensitive to the abyssal ammonia.
As for that female classmate you brought to the hospital last time, she gave me a very strange feeling, so you must be extra careful when you go back.
[Red Mist] After the disaster, not only did the homeroom teacher disappear, but several classmates also died.
"throat."
Bai Youqing lowered her head and looked at the exercises on the table, trying to calm down.
But no matter what, I couldn't calm down.
Although she didn't want to believe it,
But the truth is that their homeroom teacher, Chen Yuyi, was a spy sent by their captain, the fake villainous witch, and her deskmate was probably also one of the fake villainous witch's people.
Meanwhile, the other missing classmates, unaware that the fake villainous witch had also perished in the incident.
Their substitute homeroom teacher said at today's weekly meeting that a new teacher will be coming to take up the post next semester.
Jingle Bell
In the blink of an eye,
School is over.
Bai Youqing looked at the untouched workbook in front of her and felt a strange sense of irritation.
School's out!
A woman's voice came from behind her.
Turning his head,
When he saw Gu Xiaorou walking over.
Bai Youqing forcibly suppressed this feeling of irritation, and a smile appeared on her face.
Good evening, Xiaorou.
You don't look too well.
Gu Xiaorou stared at Bai Youqing and spoke slowly, a look of worry on her face.
"It's nothing, I just couldn't solve one of the problems, and I'm feeling a bit frustrated," Bai Youqing said with a smile.
"That's good, let's go back together!" Gu Xiaorou nodded and said.
"Um... It's not safe these days. My brother said I should wait for him to go back together. You should go back first."
Bai Youqing shook her head, rejecting the other party's good intentions.
Senior year students have one more evening study session than freshmen, so she usually goes back with Gu Xiaorou.
"Okay, I'll be going now. See you tomorrow." Gu Xiaorou waved goodbye to Bai Youqing.
As night falls, the campus is shrouded in a deep gloom, with scattered lights shining through the windows of the teaching buildings.
The school bell has long since faded away, but its echo still seems to linger in the empty corridor, reminding everyone that the hustle and bustle of the day has come to an end.
At the school gate, dedicated special police officers stood guard, watching groups of students walk by in twos and threes.
Bai Youqing stood near the school gate, waiting for familiar figures to walk out of the school.
Forty or fifty minutes later
During the tedious wait, she finally saw her older brother and Hoshino-sensei walking together.
Both of them had electric bikes, but they insisted on chatting as they walked.
spray!
"elder brother!"
Upon hearing Bai Youqing's call, Bai Yuzhe turned his head to look at Bai Youqing.
"Xiaoqing, haven't you gone home yet?"
"Wait for you."
Bai Youqing's gaze lingered on Hoshino-sensei's face for a moment before she spoke slowly.
"Well... okay."
Bai Yuzhe sighed inwardly; he was still preparing to experience different skins of Hoshino-sensei.
However, since his sister is waiting for him, he can only wait until next time.
"See you tomorrow, Hoshino-sensei."
Bai Yuze waved to Hoshino Seri.
Hoshino Seri looked at Bai Youqing, who was clinging tightly to Teacher Bai's arm, and slowly nodded.
"See you tomorrow."
Although it felt a bit strange, considering the calamities that had befallen the past few days, and the fact that Bai Youqing didn't know her brother's identity, she must be very worried, which was understandable.
On the way home,
Bai Yuzhe could feel Bai Youqing's head pressed tightly against his back, her arms wrapped around him tightly.
"What's wrong, Xiaoqing?"
Looking at Bai Youqing with her head down behind her in the rearview mirror,
Bai Yuze was somewhat puzzled.
"Brother, if I hadn't stayed to wait for you today, would you have gone to Hoshino-sensei's house tonight?" Bai Youqing raised her head, her breathing shallow and irregular, each deep breath accompanied by a slight tremor.
"...Hmm." Bai Yuze didn't want to lie to his younger sister. "But don't worry, I only go over once or twice a week. The rest of the time, I stay at home."
"oh."
Bai Youqing let out an "oh".
This instantly poured a bucket of cold water on the otherwise ordinary atmosphere of the tenth of the month.
What caused Bai Yuzhe to feel a sense of guilt for betraying his sister and having cheated on her for no reason?
