Chapter 250: The Day of Angry
April takes a small step towards May, and a large number of green leaves will burst out from the branches.
Everything grows, just like pressing the fast-forward button on a movie.
"The cherry blossoms have all fallen."
On the steep slope leading to Kamikawa High School, Kiyono Rin looked at the bare brown branches of the cherry trees.
"New green leaves will soon grow." Watanabe Toru paused, "If these two sentences are put together, does it count as a haiku? "When the cherry blossoms have fallen, new green leaves will soon grow." "
"Have you memorized "Essentials of Haiku"? " Kiyono Rin tactfully pointed out that he knew nothing and didn't understand anything.
"Learning waka is worse than learning haiku. I have memorized the entire Manyoshu, but Chinese poetry is still the best. I personally prefer this." Watanabe Toru replied.
In places outside China, poetry written in Chinese is called Chinese poetry.
Some writers in the past learned how to write Chinese poetry when they were learning haiku. Modern textbooks include not only Du Fu's "Spring Thoughts" but also Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou".
"Then why didn't you go to the liberal arts department?" asked Qingye Rin.
"It's easier to find a job if you major in science. Chinese poetry is just a hobby, and you can learn it on your own even if you're not in school."
“Is it easy to find a job?”
"Let my parents rest assured. If possible, they definitely hope that I can earn money to support the family on my own."
"But you've decided to be a playboy, haven't you?"
"Playboy?" Toru Watanabe turned his head to look at Kiyono Rin beside him in confusion.
He said:
"I'm just a househusband who doesn't work and takes care of the kids at home. How can that make me a playboy? R-san, you have too deep a prejudice against me. I suspect that if something happens to me, you'll probably commit suicide for love."
"When you really have an accident, I will seriously consider it and make a decision." Qingye Rin said perfunctorily.
We went up the steep slope. The teacher on duty today was Akira.
"You, stop." She said to Toru Watanabe.
Watanabe Toru stopped and said, "What's the matter, Mr. Akiko?"
"Call me Fujiki-sensei!"
"Teacher Fujiki?" Watanabe Toru was stunned. "Who is Fujiki?"
Dodging Fujiki Akiko's angry straight punch, Watanabe Toru put his schoolbag on his back, slipped into the school gate, and caught up with Kiyono Rin in just a few steps.
He walked around the oak tree and into the school building. He separated from her at the shoe cabinet and went to the activity room alone. He put today's blue rose into the plastic bottle on the windowsill.
When I returned to the classroom, Qingye Rin was already sitting there reading a hardcover book in her hands.
After this month is over, I must harass her during breaks so that she can't study - Watanabe Toru thought so as he walked past her.
"I advise you not to do that."
"Kiyono-san, you really can't read minds?"
"Your eyes are evil, and the malice on your face cannot be hidden. I don't even need to read your mind to see through you." Qingye Rin read the contents of the book one by one.
Her tone was contemptuous, her words were vicious, and her attitude was condescending.
This is too much!
Watanabe Toru slapped her with his palm twenty centimeters away from the back of her head, satisfying himself with the mental victory.
The wind was whistling, and even the white curtains beside Meiji's seat were blown slightly.
Kiyono Rin's long, lead-black hair fluttered in the wind, and she was as beautiful as the heroine of a light novel appearing in spring.
"Plop." The pen she placed on the table rolled to the ground.
The pen was clearly rolling very slowly, but Qingye Rin did not reach out to stop it.
When the pen lay sadly on the ground, she glanced at Watanabe Toru with her cold eyes without any emotion.
"I'm sorry." Toru Watanabe bent down to pick up the pen and put it back in its place with both hands.
I should think carefully about the suggestion of harassment during class.
Toru Watanabe sat back in his seat, took out his homework, and hung his schoolbag on the side of the desk away from the aisle.
After doing all this, he took out his cell phone and placed it in Kujo Miki's desk.
Kiyono Rin looked over.
"We'll play it secretly later." Watanabe Toru winked proudly.
After completing the preparations, Watanabe Toru, Saito Keisuke and three others, plus Ikki Aoi, chatted about games for a while.
After the morning meeting, the first classical Chinese class began.
"Classroom test." As soon as the old teacher walked into the classroom, he immediately started handing out papers.
"Ah——" Even though they were used to it, everyone still couldn't help but wail.
"Twenty-five minutes for the test and twenty minutes for the explanation."
Watanabe Toru took the test paper and took a look at it. The question was selected from a passage in "Zizhi Tongjian Xubian".
Classical Chinese and Chinese characters, it’s hard work for ordinary high school students in this island country.
Watanabe Toru read the article through and immediately started solving the questions.
But, just after I wrote two words, "Koizumi Aona" came.
Kiyono Rin was originally working on her homework seriously, but when she noticed the situation, she looked towards Kujo Miki's seat.
Watanabe the cat appeared in the belly of the desk.
Curled up, he swiped his phone with his cat's tail, seemingly reading the news.
Occasionally, when watching videos, the cat's tail has nothing to do, so it hangs down by the table like fishing - the ancient Chinese teacher doesn't like to patrol and always sits on the podium drinking tea.
Rin Kiyono really wanted to take out her cell phone and take a picture of Watanabe Cat who was secretly playing with his cell phone in class, but the island country's law that prohibits silent photography restricted her idea.
She went to buy a foreign mobile phone this week and made a decision in her heart to continue tackling ancient Chinese.
It took only eight minutes for her to finish the work at her fastest speed. She rested her chin on her right hand with a look of satisfaction, and turned her face to the left, ready to admire the cat.
Watanabe Cat, who was playing with his mobile phone just now, has fallen asleep.
He lay on his back like a human, with the cat's head falling off the table, making people worry that the whole cat might slide off and the head might get filled with blood.
And in front of him - at Toru Watanabe's own seat, 'Koizumi Aona' had an anxious look on her face.
She would sneak a peek at Ikki Aoi's test paper, and then look at Kiyono Rin with a pleading look.
With only five minutes left, 'Koizumi Aona' gave up. She laid on the table, ready to perform the scene of 'falling asleep and waking up immediately' as she did on the night ten years ago.
Is it possible to sleep in that situation? Qingye Rin wondered.
Five minutes later, just as the ancient Chinese teacher closed the lid of the teacup and was about to speak, Kiyono Rin saw Watanabe Cat disappear in his sleep.
"Mr. Watanabe, please read the article to everyone," said the ancient Chinese teacher.
“…”
"Watanabe-kun, Watanabe-kun, the teacher is calling you." Ikki Aoi called Watanabe Toru's name softly.
Watanabe Toru calmly opened his eyes and calmly stood up with the test paper in his hand.
"The meaning of "It is better for a father-in-law not to be a prime minister, because if he becomes a prime minister, his reputation will be damaged" is..."
A lot has been said, very accurately.
The test paper was blank; he had just woken up; he deliberately read the questions once to delay time and make his brain more clear... Kiyono Rin was quite satisfied with Watanabe Toru's performance.
but……
"Watanabe," the ancient Chinese teacher said with some self-doubt, "I should have asked you to read the text, not answer the questions."
"..." Watanabe Toru's expression remained calm as he began to read the text, "Wang Yuanzhi's son Jiayou was a librarian, and he seemed stupid..."
Before I finished reading, the classroom burst into laughter.
Keisuke Saito was banging his head on the table; Kunii Osamu from the first group was leaning towards this side, holding his stomach and laughing; the squad leader rolled his eyes.
Aoi Ikki giggled; the other girls chatted with each other and looked at Toru Watanabe with smiles.
Before Watanabe could finish reading, the ancient Chinese teacher said:
"Stand for a while."
"Yes." Watanabe Toru put down the paper after answering with a slightly depressed tone.
The laughter got louder.
Even Kiyono Rin smiled faintly.
How come this person can always turn anything into a farce?
Even after class, Koizumi Aona didn't come back.
"The teacher is unreliable." Watanabe Toru stood for half the class, and as soon as he sat down, he turned around and complained to Kiyono Rin.
"You guessed the teacher's question wrong." Qingye Rin said in a happy tone of adding insult to injury.
"It's only been a week since school started, how would I know the habits of a new classical Chinese teacher?"
While saying this, he used his eyes to convey the meaning of "Besides, I didn't attend any class."
"Watanabe-kun's first-year classical Chinese teacher is Morii, right?" Ikki Aoi turned around and faced Watanabe Toru and asked with a smile.
"Yes, it's him."
"Mori is also a first-year student in our class. His habit is to let students answer questions directly. Watanabe-kun just lost to experience. His reaction was very fast."
"I don't deserve it. My quick reaction is all thanks to Kiyono-san." Watanabe Toru said modestly.
"What do you mean?" asked Qingye Rin.
"I'm sorry, I have an attitude problem."
Qingye Rin glanced at him with forced satisfaction.
Watanabe Toru turned his gaze to Ikki Aoi, "Did you see that? Apologizing before the Seino-sama gets angry is a reaction that I've practiced."
"Haha, Watanabe-kun, you are so funny today. You are completely different from the past few days." Ikki Aoi giggled.
"Watanabe-san." Kiyono Rin brushed the hair off her shoulders.
"I was wrong. I apologize. I'm sorry..."
『Koizumi Aona』 is online.
She looked at the smiling Ikki Aoi, and then at Kiyono Rin who had a cold and pretty face.
"This is..." She looked at Kiyono Rin with an inquiring look.
"Watanabe-san," Qing Ye Lin took out a hardcover book, "The club recruitment will end next week. Please be ready to guide the woodwind section."
After saying that, she started reading a book and erected an invisible wall around her, telling everyone not to disturb her.
"Watanabe-kun, is Kiyono-san really angry?" Ikki Aoi asked in a low voice worriedly.
"What's wrong with her?" Koizumi Aona looked confused.
"It's all your fault for teasing her."
"Me?" Koizumi Aona pointed at herself.
"yes."
"This guy... that's not right. Given the relationship between 'me' and Kiyono-san, how could I get angry over teasing?"
"Ha~~" Ikki Aoi pointed at Watanabe Toru, with an expression that said she finally caught you, "Do you admit that you did that with Kiyono-san?"
"This...haha." 'Koizumi Aona' scratched the back of her neck awkwardly.
"But you are really brave. When Kujo goes to school, you will be stared at by two people at the same time." Ikki Aoi said with anticipation.
Koizumi Aona was also troubled by this matter.
Watanabe Toru said not to worry, and promised not to let Kujo Miki hurt her in the future, but in Kiyono Rin's story, Kujo Miki was like a devil.
Who knows if she will suddenly take action.
Even if I don't take action, what if the school expel my future self?
With this level of revenge, will Toru Watanabe still stand on his side?
In addition, "Koizumi Aona" had a vague idea, or perhaps a temper - she must act in a way that Kujo Miki couldn't see through!
One day, no, maybe she started to doubt it halfway through, and Kiyono Rin decided that she was not Toru Watanabe;
It was only the second time they met, and although Asu Mai didn't know that she was not Watanabe Toru, she said "I don't love you anymore", and when the cat Watanabe appeared, she immediately pounced on him;
If you think about it carefully, it seems that all of Watanabe Toru's girlfriends are not quite right. So, if I can occupy his body, isn't it also...
So much for this idea!
『Koizumi Aona』will never be a lover!
Kujo Miki, Toru Watanabe's real girlfriend, can last at least a week without being discovered by her!
To do this, one must seriously imitate Toru Watanabe.
During lunch break, "Koizumi Aona" did not go to the Human Observation Department, but went to the teacher's office to find me.
As soon as she walked in, Akiko pounced on her, but before she could react, her body dodged on its own.
Huangzi cried out "Ouch" and fell to the ground with his teacher's butt sticking out.
"Akira, what are you doing?" "Koizumi Aona" had no interest in the teacher's butt.
"You kid, was it you who called me Akira?" Akira stood up, rubbing his waist with a painful look on his face.
"Are you okay?" Koizumi Aona was both amused and worried, and helped Akiko sit down.
Huangzi waved his hands, as if he was in so much pain that he didn't want to talk for a while.
"What is she doing?" 'Koizumi Aona' asked Koizumi Aona.
"It's okay." Koizumi Aona said with a wry smile.
"Nothing? Something's wrong!" Akiko glared at Koizumi Aonai in dissatisfaction, "Have you forgotten that this guy hid under the kotatsu during the winter camping? Aonai, I will never allow you to be with this guy... unless he breaks up with Kujo Kiyono."
"This is an office, what are you talking about?" Koizumi Aona looked around guiltily and said in a low voice.
There were few people in the office at noon, and the few who were there were doing their own things.
Akiko rubbed his waist, snorted, and stopped talking.
"Watanabe, what do you want to talk to me about?" Koizumi Aona looked at her past self.
"Let's go to the meeting room." Koizumi Aona suggested.
"good."
The two left the teacher's office.
"Aonai, don't be fooled by him again!" Akiko shouted behind him.
"I know." Koizumi Aona replied helplessly.
After finding an empty meeting room, Koizumi Aona poured two glasses of water.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
Koizumi Aonai pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment:
"You are Watanabe's first-year homeroom teacher. I want to know what kind of person he is."
Koizumi Aona looked at her sixteen-year-old self. Her eyes were filled with the unwillingness and willfulness of a young girl.
Thinking about what happened in the morning, Koizumi Aona didn't know what to do for a moment.
But anyway, after this month, "she" will forget everything, so it's okay to be a little willful, right ?
"The first time I met Watanabe," Koizumi Aona began, "was during the interview for the entrance exam."
The location is a classroom on the second floor of the Shenchuan Teaching Building.
With Toru Watanabe's admission score ranking third in the entire year, the interview was dispensable. It was just a confirmation process. No matter how he answered, the school would admit him.
"Therefore, when we interviewed him, we, as interviewing teachers, seemed very casual."
"What did you ask at that time?" Koizumi Aona asked curiously.
"What I'm asking is: Watanabe-san, please tell me why you volunteered."
"What a boring question."
"It's a formal interview after all." Koizumi Aona smiled gently.
"What was his answer?" asked Koizumi Aona.
"It's also very ordinary." Koizumi Aona thought of that afternoon.
A handsome and elegant country boy, wearing a junior high school uniform, sat calmly opposite.
"With excellent grades, of course I should go to the best school and be with the best people." This was his answer at the time.
So much time has passed in the blink of an eye.
Wait a minute… I was still a junior high school student a year ago. Is it really okay for me to do this?
