Chapter 225: Restless Valentine's Day (4)
One, two, three...six girls and one boy.
The air is filled with sweet fragrance.
"Watanabe-kun, it seems like a lot of people will give you chocolates on this Valentine's Day." Ikki Aoi turned around and said to Watanabe Toru.
"It seems so." Watanabe Toru never boasted about what he had, but he would not deny it either. "But I only accept giri chocolates."
"You have a girlfriend after all. By the way, I'll give you some giri chocolate too!"
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. After all, for a boy, how much chocolate he receives is a very important thing, right?"
"Why?" Toru Watanabe asked curiously.
"Humph." Seeing that Watanabe Toru was unhappy, classmate Tamamo Yoshimi spoke up, "Boys are boring creatures. Don't they just like to show off how many girlfriends they've dated and how many chocolates they've received?"
"There are indeed such people." Watanabe Toru agreed.
But men and women are the same in this regard; scumbags are not gender-specific.
However, showing off the amount of chocolates you received should not be considered as scumbag.
"So, the more chocolates you receive, the more popular you are." Ikki Aoi said, shaking her right index finger.
Although no one spoke, Toru Watanabe could sense disdain from the two young ladies.
Some things don't need to be proven.
The only ones who can be more popular than them are themselves, which is why Kiyono Rin doesn't boast about her beauty in front of others.
Watanabe Toru turned to Kiyono Rin and said, "Kiyono-san, I remembered something."
"What is it?"
"The story happened in May last year." Watanabe Toru looked at Kujo Miki with a smile, "The day after you took me to Juntendo Hospital."
Miki Kujo recalled what happened at that time.
I clearly treated Watanabe Toru as a rare toy at the time and was going to get rid of him when he became boring. Why is it that today, three months before the one-year anniversary, I am the one being disposed of?
Although Toru Watanabe still licked her feet, it was only on the bed.
In bed, the one being licked is in a weak position.
When Kujo Miki was thinking whether to let Watanabe Toru lick her under the bed tonight, she heard him continue:
"I went to the bathroom and happened to run into Kiyono-san, who I was on bad terms with at the time..."
"It's not bad. Last May, I didn't care about you at all and had no emotions towards you." Qingye Rin corrected.
"Yes, yes, you are only mean to Meiji."
Qingye Rin glared at Watanabe Toru and said, "I know what you are going to say. There is absolutely no need to say it. It is very boring."
"Keep going," Kujo Miki ordered.
"Miji asked me to say it." Watanabe Toru indicated that he was innocent.
"You want to say it yourself, right? Stop making excuses." Doesn't Qingye Rin understand this heartless man?
"So what? Qingye-san, I remember every word you said to me. When I write my autobiography in the future, I will definitely write it all down."
I have said it before, Toru Watanabe is a person with a delicate mind.
"Ah," Qing Ye Lin was not angry, but laughed, "You remember every word I said."
Kujo Miki looked over.
"Meiji, don't listen to her nonsense, I'm just holding a grudge!" Watanabe Toru defended.
"Holding a grudge." Kujo Miki also laughed.
"No, Meiji, please listen to my explanation. What I mean is..."
"you mean?"
"The autobiography I will write in the future will be about our past love story!" Watanabe Toru has always believed that instead of explaining, it is better to increase the girl's trust in himself and let the misunderstanding disappear by itself.
"Will I appear on stage then?" asked Aoi Ikki.
"Of course, an autobiography seeks truth."
"When Watanabe-kun becomes a celebrity, his autobiography will surely be passed down, and everyone will always remember that there was a girl named Ikki Aoi!" Ikki Aoi began to imagine the future.
"Truth? I'm looking forward to your autobiography." Miki Kujo said to Toru Watanabe with a smile.
"...Ms. Meiji, do you mean to be true or not?"
"Of course it has to be truthful. Write down everything you think and what you think about each person ," Miki Kujo gave instructions.
"I'm looking forward to it too." Qingye Rin also said with a smile.
…I always feel that it is not an autobiography but an indictment.
Toru Watanabe decided that even if he wrote an autobiography in the future, he would try his best to state only objective facts and never write about psychological activities.
After chatting for a while, they came to the third floor and saw a long queue in front of the cinema.
"Meiji, I'm going to get some Coke and popcorn."
"Um."
"I want a small portion." Qingye Rin made her request without any hesitation.
Kujo Miki turned to her and said, "Don't you have long legs?"
"Not only has she grown taller, but she's also prettier than you." Qingye Rin replied calmly.
"Just based on the A cup?"
"Kujo-san, playing up your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses and changing the subject is a sign of admitting defeat."
"The clothes you wear at my house, your bra size is still the same as it was two years ago. Even though the seasons have changed twice, you still haven't improved at all."
"Kujo Miki-san..."
"Stop talking!" Watanabe Toru said with a sad face, "Seino-san, I will buy you everything. You are only sixteen years old, it is far from the time to give up."
"Really?" Qingye Rin smiled gently, his voice stern and cruel, "Then I want 1,400 grams of your brain."
"I'm going to buy some popcorn." Toru Watanabe turned and left.
The average human brain weighs only about 1,400 grams. Even if a person is extremely smart, it probably weighs just over 2,000 grams. How can we give him 1,400 grams?
"Senior, it's so beautiful. I'll go buy it for you!" Ikki Aoi followed.
After watching the two leave, Tamamo Yomi walked over to Kiyono Rin and said, "Kiyono-san."
"Is there anything wrong with Tamamo-san?" Kiyono Rin's tone had returned to normal.
"What happened last May? I really want to know. Don't worry, Kiyono-san, I will never laugh at you or tell anyone else."
"It's just a small matter. If Tamamo-san wants to know, you can wait for Watanabe-san's autobiography."
"But he is only sixteen years old now." Tamamo Yoshimi pointed at Watanabe Toru who was queuing.
"The life expectancy announced by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare shows that the average life expectancy for women is 87.26 years and for men is 81.09 years. Tamamo-san doesn't need to worry too much."
“…”
Buy some popcorn and enter the venue.
Watanabe Toru and the other two had bad seats, as they bought tickets on the spur of the moment, so they could only sit in the back row.
Asu Mai and her friends bought their tickets in advance. Although their seats were not the best, they were close to the best viewing area.
On the red seat, Toru Watanabe gave his school uniform jacket to Miki Kujo as a cushion.
The movie was about to start, and there were only three of them in the last row.
Just as the movie started playing the prohibited secretly recorded advertisements and Miss Kiyono was about to start enjoying her popcorn in a ceremonial manner, three people hurriedly walked in from the entrance of the screening room.
Without even looking at the tickets in their hands, they walked straight to the last row where Toru Watanabe was.
"I told you not to drive. There will definitely be traffic jams at this time!"
"It was a bad idea."
"Okay, don't disturb others, sit down... Watanabe?"
"Tokyo is not big, but it is not small either. Why..."
Before Watanabe Toru could finish his line, the volume of the movie suddenly increased and Koizumi Aona hurriedly sat down next to Watanabe Toru.
This was not the end yet. The moment the three teachers sat down, a small commotion broke out in front.
Ikki Aoi and the others walked over with their bags and popcorn, apologizing to the people around them.
Watanabe Toru cast a puzzled look.
"It's more interesting if we all sit together and watch it," explained Ikki Aoi.
While she was explaining, Asu Mai stared straight at Koizumi Aona.
"What, what's wrong, Asuka-san?" Koizumi Aona felt uncomfortable being stared at by her emotionless eyes.
"……without."
"You guys." Miki Kujo, whose view was blocked, looked at them with sharp eyes.
"Senior, let's sit down quickly." Ikki Aoi pulled Asuka Mai, who was still staring at Koizumi Aona, and quickly sat down on the seats.
Okay, we can finally start watching the movie.
Toru Watanabe threw a grain of popcorn into his mouth, ready to see how "The Earth Stands Still" became a romance movie.
His hand subconsciously rested on the armrest away from Kujo Miki.
But when I touched it, I didn't feel the firmness of the armrest, but a softness.
Watanabe Toru and Koizumi Aona withdrew their arms at the same time.
Watanabe Toru made a gesture of 'Teacher, please', and Koizumi Aona responded with a gesture of 'Student, please'.
Then, Toru Watanabe ignored the handrail.
Koizumi Aona also has her persistence.
That handrail was left pitifully alone.
The movie officially begins with a young man getting into a car accident while trying to save an old man.
The boy was a senior high school student. This happened on the first day of the new semester and he had to take a year off from school.
The boy's family was impoverished, and his single father took care of him. He spent all his allowance on drinking, and the boy himself was a rotten person without any supervision.
He pierced his ears, drank alcohol, smoked, and did all the things that minors are not allowed to do. When he saved people that day, his body's reaction was really faster than his brain, so he did things that he would never do under normal circumstances.
After a brief introduction to the background, the story officially begins.
In the new year, it was time for the boy to go back to school. His grades were already poor, so he simply gave up and didn't report. He spent all day in the game hall to cheat other kids for their pocket money.
At this time, the senior class teacher appeared, a very good-looking young woman, but in the movie she was set as an old-fashioned and unfeminine aunt .
Persuading and playing games with the boy, and even standing outside his house, begging him to go back to school.
As four months passed, the boy turned a blind eye to his teacher, thinking that she was only doing it for her own performance and the teacher's reputation.
In early May, the boy's father fell down the stairs after drinking and was hospitalized. The teacher paid a large sum of money for him.
The next day, when the boy came back from the game hall, the teacher was still waiting at his door, but the high-end bento he usually ate was replaced with rice balls.
The boy entered the house and met the teacher through his own door, determined to go to school.
"This teacher is really amazing." Seeing this, Toru Watanabe whispered to Aona Koizumi.
"Yeah." Koizumi Aona's eyes were already wet with emotion. "Students can be willful, but teachers can't. Even if you can't make all students like you, you can't make any student hate you. Because there are really students who hate this subject because they hate the teacher."
Is the following her personal professional ethics? It seems to resonate with her.
The movie continues.
When the boy returned to school, he encountered all kinds of problems, such as being ostracized by his classmates, looked down upon by the dean of studies, and the director who wanted to force him to drop out.
Under the teacher's persistent guidance, the boy decided to teach those who looked down on him a lesson - he wanted to be admitted to Nagoya University!
What followed was studying hard, and the teacher also did his best to tutor him.
There were setbacks and progress. Teachers and students gradually became friends, singing and drinking together on the streets at night.
Seeing the teacher drunk, with her hair loose, and using dirty words to curse her boss and her ex-boyfriend, the boy suddenly fell in love with the teacher...
Well, I fell in love with it.
The boy began to study harder, he wanted to become a man worthy of his teacher.
In December, after a mock exam, the boy's scores reached the admission line of Nagoya University for the first time. He excitedly ran to his teacher's house to tell her the good news.
There he saw the old man he had saved.
The old woman turned out to be the teacher's mother.
It turns out that everything the teacher did for him was out of gratitude, and the so-called feelings were all fake.
The boy dropped out of school again.
By the end of December, the boy had wasted a month of study. The teacher cried bitterly in front of his door and begged him to continue studying.
After the accident, the boy's father quit drinking and found a job. He tried to persuade the boy, but was left speechless by the boy's question, "What qualifications do you have to control me?" and he just sat there in silence.
On December 31, New Year's Eve, it was snowing, and the teacher still came to the boy's door as soon as he got off work.
She had already said what she wanted to say, so she could only stand there in silence.
When the New Year bell rang, the boy walked out of the room and said to the teacher:
'If the teacher agrees to date me, I will continue my studies.'
The teacher was stunned for a moment, but for the sake of the boy, he agreed.
"Aonna," Akiko lowered his upper body and said to Koizumi Aonna, who was watching intently, "If Watanabe threatened you in this way, would you agree?"
"How could Watanabe do such a thing?" Koizumi Aona pushed her away.
"Suppose, suppose he did it! What would you do?" Akiko came closer again with a mischievous smile.
"That……"
"So what?"
“Stop assuming all the time and just watch the movie!”
The boy started studying again. There was still a month and a half left before the entrance exam for Nagoya University, so he had to give it his all.
The boy did so, but in addition to studying, he made other demands with a vengeful mentality: let the teacher fulfill the duties of a girlfriend.
From touching hands to smelling the fragrance of the teacher's neck, there is even a scene where the teacher uses her hands to help him vent (only the upper body, and the teacher wipes her hands with paper in the end).
The atmosphere became awkward.
Toru Watanabe looked to the left and saw that Miki Kujo and Rin Kiyono had already fallen asleep.
The values of this movie are in serious conflict with theirs, and the boy's inexplicable emotional changes are simply incomprehensible to them.
Toru Watanabe looked to the right again.
Koizumi Aona didn't know where to look.
She lowered her head for a while, then she remembered that she was watching a movie and looked at the screen, then she secretly glanced to see if Toru Watanabe was still looking at her.
On the movie screen, the boy and his teacher were in the classroom, doing things that made them look painful, but also seemed very happy (still no specific shot, only a close-up of the teacher's face).
"Tsk tsk tsk." Akiko stared at it intently and stuffed a handful of cold popcorn into his mouth.
Koizumi Aona picked up the Coke with the melted ice, blushed, held the straw in her mouth, and swallowed it in small sips.
At the end of the film, the boy was admitted to Nagoya University, but the teacher took the initiative to apply for a transfer and went to a school in another place, and lost contact with the boy.
Five years later, the teacher returned to his original school.
One day, she came to the place where she used to invite the boy to dinner. At that time, the boy had just started to work hard and his academic level was only that of a third-year junior high school student.
In the store, the boy was having dinner with his friends.
She turned around and wanted to leave, but the boy, who had become a lawyer, greeted her naturally.
It seems that the boy has forgotten the past and started a new life.
She forced herself to greet the boy naturally, pretending that she was not happy with the restaurant and was about to leave, but the boy came over, pulled her to the table and brought her dishes and chopsticks.
"Who is this?" the boy's lawyer friend asked.
"My girlfriend," the boy answered naturally.
"Really?! Haven't you been single for five years? How come you suddenly have a girlfriend?" The boy's friends were amazed.
"You can ask her," the boy said with a smile.
Everyone looked at the teacher expectantly.
Under the camera, the teacher nodded shyly.
Amid the boos, a list of staff members began to appear on the screen.
"I thought it was a movie about the season of entrance exams, and the main theme was studying hard, but it turned out to be a teacher-student romance," Akiko sighed.
"Getting into Nagoya University, majoring in law, in one year is too fake." Miyuki Miyazaki shook her head.
Koizumi Aona didn't say anything and still held the straw in her mouth, even though the Coke in the cup was long gone - Watanabe Toru glanced at her from time to time.
It was not until the movie ended that the last row of people walked out of the cinema.
Almost all the girls went to the toilet.
Toru Watanabe stayed where he was, thinking about what the name "The Earth Stands Still 365 Days" had to do with the content of the movie.
A year of suspension for a teenager? A year with a teacher?
I have no idea what the director was thinking.
Toru Watanabe gave up thinking, raised his head and stretched his neck, just in time to see Aona Koizumi coming out of the bathroom.
The two looked at each other, and Koizumi Aona turned around and walked back to the bathroom.
It is indeed a bit embarrassing to watch this kind of movie with a teacher, but it shouldn’t be so embarrassing, right?
When Akiko asked Koizumi Aona a question, Watanabe Toru also heard it.
It depends on the situation. If he really does that, there is a high probability that Koizumi Aona will agree.
However, no matter what happened, he would not do anything to threaten Koizumi Aona.
However, some things are even more absurd than the movies, but are actually about to happen.
In the near future.
