Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 323 New Residents of the Apartment
Time flies by.

Before we knew it, it was noon.

By this time, Class A of Grade 1 had finished cleaning.

The classroom was spotless, as if it were brand new, but the price was that all the students were panting and sweating profusely.

As for Kitahara Natsuhiro, he simply inspected the entire room, then sat down and drank tea, without breaking a sweat.

"The job of a homeroom teacher is really easy." Kitahara Natsuhiro sat on the podium, looking completely relaxed.

Ding-ling-ling
Ding-ling-ling
Just then, the school bell rang for lunch break.

Bang bang bang.
At this moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro stood up from his seat, clapped his hands, and drew everyone's attention to his side.

"Alright, everyone did a great job on today's task."

“I don’t have much to say, but there are a few things I’d like to mention.” Kitahara Natsuyu cleared his throat and said softly, “Because school ends at noon, don’t linger outside, go straight home.”

"Tomorrow will be the same as a normal school day, there will be no difference."

"As for the other rules, they are the same as last semester, so don't make any mistakes."

"Furthermore, I have already informed your parents of today's dismissal time, so please don't lie."

"If I find out about this, you're in big trouble," Kitahara Natsuyu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone responded in unison, and then Kitahara Natsuhiro announced his dismissal.

After he announced the end of get out of class, the students in the classroom left in twos and threes, carrying their much heavier backpacks, looking excited.

They were very happy because they had only half a day of vacation left.

I guess I made a profit.

After seeing that all the students in the classroom had left, Kitahara Natsuhiro closed the classroom door, left the classroom, and turned to walk towards the infirmary.

Although the students can leave first, their teachers cannot leave immediately.

They had another meeting in the afternoon, but before that, he wanted to have lunch with Ai.

Because there are no classes today, the school cafeteria is not open, so you have to go outside to eat.

Soon.

Kitahara Natsuhiro then went to the infirmary.

At this time, the door to the infirmary was locked because Ai was taking a nap inside.

And since no one would come to the infirmary on the first day of school, she could sleep soundly without worry.

However, last semester, someone pretended to be sick on the first day of school, was sent to the infirmary, and ended up with no problems at all. The teachers even found out about the fake illness.

He was eventually punished by copying the school rules, and the incident was also announced to the entire school.

Therefore, no students did this this year; it would have been a complete waste of time and money.

After all, there's no escaping going to school.

Even Conan, a high school student, has to obediently attend Teitan Elementary School.

Just then, the door to the infirmary opened.

Kitahara Natsuhiro used his key to open the door to the infirmary; he possessed the key to the infirmary.

This was given to him by Ai a long time ago, so he can enter the infirmary anytime, anywhere.

Upon entering the infirmary, Kitahara Natsuhiro could hear Ai's even breathing.

At this moment, Ai was still fast asleep and was not awakened by the sound of the door opening.

Because she knew that this was Kitahara Natsuyu's territory, and only Kitahara Natsuyu had the key to open it.

So she has absolutely no worries about taking a nap here.

"She's really sleeping soundly." Kitahara Natsuhiro looked at Ai's sleeping face with a smile, and unconsciously picked up a strand of her hair and started dangling it around Ai's nose.

A few seconds later, Ai's face contorted and she couldn't help but sneeze.

After sneezing, Ai was fully awake and opened her eyes.

"Good afternoon, Ai." Kitahara Natsumi let down a strand of hair and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Ai lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling for several seconds before turning to look at Kitahara Natsuyu, and then couldn't help but yawn.

"Honestly, she's acting like a child, playing with my hair. So childish."

She roughly knew what had happened from Kitahara Natsuyu's actions just now.

It was nothing more than playing with her hair and waking her up.

At home, she often teased Kitahara Natsuhiro in the same way.

However, after being tricked like this, Kitahara Natsumi's fate was never good.

Because crying will make your throat hoarse and you'll have no strength left in your body.

As for Kitahara Natsuyu doing this, she had no power to resist at all, after all, the difference between the two was too great.

All I can do is vent my frustrations.

“You’re no different,” Kitahara Natsumi said with a smile. “Alright, it’s already midday, the sun’s high in the sky. Get up quickly, let’s go have lunch, we have a meeting later.”

There's another meeting this afternoon, but it's not a big one; it should only last about half an hour.

Teitan Elementary School's rules are a bit old, but they don't really like holding meetings, so they keep them brief when they do.

"Hmm~~~" Ai rolled around on the bed a few times and said in a muffled voice, "Really, we still have to have a meeting."

"I'm the school nurse, this shouldn't be any of my business, right?"

She really didn't want to go to meetings, since it meant listening to those old men rambling on and on.

It's much more comfortable to sleep here than to listen to those guys' endless chatter.

“That won’t do,” Kitahara Natsuyu said. “The afternoon meeting is for all the teachers in the school, so we can’t be absent.”

"It should be over in about half an hour, not long at all."

It was the same last year; it ended very quickly.

We can leave school around 3 o'clock, which is not much different from the usual school dismissal time.

"Fine."

Hearing this, Ai thought it was alright, so she got out of bed and lifted the covers.

Because it was the school clinic, she was dressed neatly before going to sleep.

It was already springtime, the weather was neither too cold nor too hot, and there was no problem sleeping in clothes.

If it's winter, sleeping in all these layers will probably make you very cold when you wake up.

"What are we going to eat later?" Ai sat blankly on the bed and turned to ask Kitahara Natsuyu.

"Hmm," Kitahara Natsuyu pondered for a moment before speaking, "What do you think about going to a coffee shop near the school for curry rice?"

Yes, there are coffee shops near the school that sell curry rice; generally, coffee shops will sell some kind of food.

Curry rice, sandwiches, desserts, and the like.

Only a small percentage of coffee shops sell only coffee.

“Curry rice.” Ai paused and nodded. “That’s fine. The curry rice at that coffee shop is pretty good, but it’s still not as good as yours and my sister’s.”

"They're a coffee shop, so it's okay if the curry is a little off; it's not a big deal."

Although the curry rice at the coffee shop near the school isn't top-notch, the ingredients are absolutely top-notch. After all, it's a shop located on campus; if something went wrong, it wouldn't be able to stay in business.

And these teachers also visit often.

"Okay, I'll get up now. I'm hungry anyway." Ai stretched and then got out of bed and put on her shoes.

Then she took out a small mirror from her bag, looked at her cheeks, and saw that there were no marks.

Ai didn't wear much makeup; she was almost completely bare-faced.

After all, Ai was very young at that time, only eighteen or nineteen years old, and with Kitahara Natsuyu's nurturing, she could truly be described as invincible in her youth.

"Don't be so vain, there's absolutely nothing wrong with how you look."

“You’re naturally beautiful, your skin is at its peak, you don’t need to look in the mirror.” Kitahara Natsumi laughed.

"Of course!" Ai said. "I'm a beautiful eighteen-year-old girl!"

Just as Ai Haibara said to Conan in the original work, she is an eighteen-year-old girl of similar age to Conan, not some old and frail researcher.

"Yes Yes Yes."

"So, beautiful young lady, may we go out for lunch now?"

"Let's go."

"Good."

Afterwards, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Ai left the infirmary to have lunch outside the school.

Apart from Kitahara Natsuhiro and Ai, most of the teachers at the school also chose to eat lunch outside.

However, some teachers opted for takeout.

Foods like buckwheat noodles, ramen, dumplings, and sushi can be eaten at school.

Some even go so far as to share a big meal together.

Teitan Elementary School, 2 PM.

At this time, the school's conference room was already full of teachers.

The white-bearded principal sat in the main seat and began today's speech.

The principal's speech this time was not much different from last year's speech, nothing more than asking them to pay more attention to students' physical health and academic studies.

Another thing is to communicate more with parents.

Kitahara Natsuhiro had heard these words several times before.

This was the first time Ai had ever heard the principal say such things.

There was no way around it; Ai grew up in the organization from a young age and displayed exceptional research talent from childhood.

She went to the United States to study at a very young age and never had the opportunity to experience such things, so this was quite novel for Ai.

Even though it was novel, Ai got bored after listening for more than ten minutes and started to doze off.

There's no way to expect a beautiful 18 or 19-year-old girl to listen to an old man's speech and pretend to be attentive. It's just too much to ask.

Even within the organization, she wouldn't listen to Gin speak so attentively.

She would only listen "reluctantly" if Gin and Vermouth came together.

However, speaking of Gin, Ai hasn't heard any information about the organization for quite some time.

This is good news for Ai; she doesn't want to hear any information about the organization.

All she wants now is this peaceful life, and she doesn't want Gin and his ilk to come and cause trouble.

Just as Ai was reminiscing about the past, the principal finished speaking.

After the principal finished speaking, the academic affairs director did not speak, because the capricious principal had already announced the dismissal of the class, telling everyone to go home and rest well, and come to work the next day refreshed.

"Phew, it's finally over."

Ai sat in the chair, stretched her legs, and yawned. She looked quite comfortable.

Meanwhile, Kitahara Natsuhiro was talking to the other teachers.

Seeing this, Ai didn't say anything, but left the meeting room on her own, intending to wait for Kitahara Natsuyu at the school gate, and then go to the restaurant together.

Ai knew very well that Kitahara Natsuhiro's official girlfriend was Yonehara Akiko, and many teachers at the school knew this.

Therefore, Ai avoids getting too close to Kitahara Natsuyu when there are many people around.

When Kitahara Natsuhiro gets close to Ai, he also uses some superpowers to cover it up.

Therefore, there were no rumors or gossip about Kitahara Natsuhiro at the school.

However, the most talked-about thing is that Kitahara Natsuhiro is elusive, often appearing at the windows in the corridor to observe the situation inside the classroom, which often gives the students a fright.

This has almost become a daily routine for Kitahara Natsuhiro at school.

That's really quite interesting.

"Xia Yu, how about we go out for a drink later?" Professor Ohata pretended to drink, his face full of smiles.

The dream of office workers after get off work is to have a drink, and teachers are no exception.

"Drinking?" Kitahara Natsuhiro glanced at Ohata-sensei and said with a smile, "I have to help out at the restaurant, I don't have time."

"Hey, you're not going anywhere by missing a day, just keep me company tonight!" Mr. Ohata complained.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu said, "Why would I accompany a grown man like you? If anyone's going to accompany someone, it's to go to a brothel."

"Besides, it's not even three o'clock yet. Are you sure Shiri won't call?"

Ohata-sensei and Nakamura Minori's relationship seems to be going very well, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will get married.

As for when they will get married, that remains to be seen.

However, one thing is certain: it's impossible for us to get married this year.

Because this year is still in a cycle.

"In reality?"

Buzz buzz.
Just then, Mr. Ohata's phone rang.

When Mr. Ohata took out his phone, he saw that it was a call from Minori Nakamura.

"Hey, Minori, what's wrong?"

"Oohata, are you done on your end? I'm done here. Let's go grab some food together later!" Minori Nakamura's voice came through the phone.

Kitahara Natsuyu, who was standing nearby, overheard this and shrugged, as if to say, "See?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ohata smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, I'm done here too, I'll be right there."

"wait for me a while."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the school gate."

The two then hung up the phone.

Then, Professor Ohata apologized to Kitahara Natsuhiro and went to keep his appointment.

However, Kitahara Natsuhiro did not receive a call or text message from Yonehara Akiko.

After all, Akiko Yonehara didn't want to be unable to get up for work tomorrow.

Although Akiko Yonehara didn't call, the apartment management did send a text message.
