Chapter 244 Jealousy
Natsume Yuikawa gently patted Sakurai Airi's beautiful back and said comfortingly, "It's okay, Sakurai sister, it's all over. Aren't we all fine now?"

"Yeah, I know, but I don't know why, I just feel like crying."

Sakurai Airi wiped her tears and raised her face again. She still had the sequelae of surviving a disaster, and said with trembling hands: "That car just now was really abominable. It was driving so fast. Aren't they afraid of hitting someone?"

"I'm worried that he might miss it."

Natsume Weichuan muttered to himself, but quickly continued to soothe him, "Yeah, it's really unlucky to encounter such a thing. Fortunately, we are all fine. Sister Sakurai, are you feeling better now? If it doesn't work, let's call someone to drive."

Hearing this, Sakurai Airi lowered her eyes to look at her still trembling legs. After trying to concentrate and control herself, the situation got better. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay. Isn't the convenience store where you work a part-time job a little further ahead? I'll take you there and you can rest for a while."

Ah this.

Natsume Yuikawa's expression changed slightly. Did Sakurai Airi mean to stop at the convenience store and take a rest?
Under normal circumstances, this would have been an extremely reasonable decision, but the key point was that the manager of the convenience store was Miyuki Tachibana, with whom he had a close relationship.

After Sakurai Airi made the proposal, she kept paying attention to Natsume Yuikawa's reaction. Seeing that he hesitated at the first moment, she forcefully started the car again.

Natsume Weichuan shook in his seat for a moment, then was pulled back by the seat belt. Seeing that the car was turning towards the intersection leading to the convenience store, he said nothing more.

It doesn't matter. Even though they look about the same age, Sakurai Airi is not like Mochizuki Maaya who has made any substantial progress with me. She is my real teacher, and they have this kind of relationship, so it can be explained anyway.

This is what is meant by "a man of integrity has nothing to fear from his own shadow".

Natsume Weichuan was mentally preparing himself, and the convenience store arrived soon as he had said.

When it was time to get out of the car, Natsume Weichuan kept his hands on the seat belt. As soon as the car stopped, he quickly unbuckled it, pushed open the door and got out.

Through the window, he said to Sakurai Airi who was just about to get out of the car, "Sakurai sister, there is no air conditioning in the convenience store, only fans. It's very uncomfortable to get in and out of the car. How about you sit here and rest for a while, and I'll bring you an ice cream?"

"Look, you're looking down on me, aren't you?"

Sakurai Airi asked back, then unbuckled the seatbelt that was pressing down on her body, opened the door and got out of the car from the other side, saying, "Don't look at me like this, I'm actually very hardworking, otherwise why would I be so desperate to come to a mixed school to be a teacher?"

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher."

Natsume Yuikawa bowed respectfully to Sakurai Airi.

It's almost time for me to go to work. If there are not many customers in the store, Tachibana Miyuki will most likely be waiting for me to come back.

Since there is no way to stop the subsequent development, let's highlight this formal relationship through actions.

"Stop it, this is not a school."

Sakurai Airi got out of the car, locked the door, then walked around with the key in her hand and came to Natsume Yuikawa's side.

"Lead the way, my good brother?"

Damn, ever since getting her driver's license, Sakurai Airi seems to have really changed.

Although one could still see Sakurai Airi's face turning slightly pale due to the near-car accident, she was still able to suppress the remaining fear in her heart and her own unsociable personality and put on a smile. In this way, wouldn't it be possible for them to own their own luxury apartment without having to develop into a boyfriend and girlfriend?
Natsume Yuikawa's mind was briefly active for a while, and then he did not listen to Sakurai Airi's words. Instead, he retreated to the side and behind her body and said, "A convenience store is not a dangerous place for Sakurai sister. You are a senior, so you should go in front."

Just kidding, it will definitely be fine for Sakurai Airi, but for myself, if something goes wrong by accident, it will be like a dangerous place.

"You're being so hypocritical again. I can't do anything about you."

Sakurai Airi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She was just going to the convenience store where Natsume Yuikawa worked part-time. If she was worried about being bothered, the worst that could happen was that she could just buy something as a customer.

"gone."

Sakurai Airi walked in front, pushed aside the door curtain and walked into the convenience store.

Tachibana Miyuki was looking at a certain place in the store. When she heard someone coming in, she said almost reflexively, "Welcome."

After saying hello, I looked up and saw the face of Sakurai Airi. It was another unfamiliar face, and a very beautiful woman.

A closer look at her face reveals that she has a bit of baby fat and looks sweet and cute, but her figure is very outstanding. Judging from her clothes, she should be a young woman who has just started working, a few years younger than herself.

Out of politeness, Miyuki Tachibana wanted to ask her what she needed, but before she opened her mouth, she saw a familiar boy walk in from behind the woman.

"Manager Tachibana, I'm here to work."

Natsume Yuikawa spoke casually, and because of the presence of Sakurai Airi, he diluted the emotion in his tone.

"Ah."

Tachibana Miyuki nodded slightly with a natural expression, then turned to look at Sakurai Airi: "Excuse me, what do you need?"

"It's okay, I'll just take a look first."

Sakurai Airi looked around the convenience store and suddenly asked, "Natsume, do you know where all the daily necessities are stored?"

"Oh, just walk to the innermost part from here and turn left. Do you need me to take you there?" Natsume Weichuan answered fluently.

"No need, just get me two more ice creams, one milky flavor, and you can choose the rest." Sakurai Airi had already walked away, and her voice came over through the shelves.

"Oh, I know."

After Natsume Yuikawa agreed, he did not move immediately. Instead, he turned his gaze to Tachibana Miyuki, who had been looking at him quietly since the moment Sakurai Airi called out his name.

Hey, Natsume, you called me in a very friendly way. And what you bought were daily necessities. I’m afraid you two of you may use them together.

Although Tachibana Miyuki didn't say anything, her eyes showed it all. Her rosy lips were tightly pursed in a sour curve.

Yesterday it was Mochizuki Maya, and today there is a new one, Natsume Yuikawa, you really can give me a big surprise every day. Natsume Yuikawa was quickly defeated in the eye contact, and he quickly explained: "Sister Miyuki, actually..."

"Stop, just call me Manager Tachibana."

Tachibana Miyuki held her hands in front of her chest, and her mature and attractive face lost its usual gentleness. She asked slowly, "Clerk Natsume, do you have anything to say?"

"Of course, she is my English teacher in the new school. It's not the kind of relationship you think."

Natsume Yuikawa was almost getting scared by Tachibana Miyuki's gaze. It was really strange. There was clearly nothing going on between him and Sakurai Airi, but he inexplicably felt guilty when being stared at.

Could this be a skill that Tachibana Miyuki acquired through long-term practice?

After hearing Natsume Yuikawa's explanation, Tachibana Miyuki's gaze relaxed a little, but she still maintained a formal tone and said, "It's not the kind of relationship I imagined. How could I not know what I imagined? Don't wrongly accuse me."

Natsume Weichuan was so angry that he was almost laughing and crying. This was probably the punishment for his greed, and he couldn't blame anyone else.

He had no choice but to continue to explain patiently, saying, "Sister Miyuki, you are my good sister, don't make a fuss now. She came here just because she just passed her driver's license test, and she gave me a ride when she met me on the road. If you don't believe me, you can ask her directly."

"I won't ask. It makes me sound like a petty jealous woman. I don't want to talk to you."

Tachibana Miyuki gave Natsume Yuikawa a cold look, but in her heart she believed this explanation a little.

Natsume Yuikawa is a smart and clever person. The incident with Mochizuki Maya has just happened. Even if there are really other people involved, he should be more vigilant. Otherwise, why would he pull another woman over when his emotions have just calmed down? Isn't this just trying to seduce himself?
First, I usually meet his requests and have never treated him unfairly; second, I am an acquaintance of his mother, so no matter what, he should consider the possibility that he will complain directly if I push him too hard, right?

Tachibana Miyuki opened the ice cream freezer next to her and said, "The milk flavored ice cream is in the second row. Please order more of the flavor you like. You don't have to put it on the bill. It's my treat."

"Even knowing my favorite flavor, I know that Sister Miyuki is the best to me."

Natsume Yuikawa immediately smiled and reached out to the place where Tachibana Miyuki said.

After taking them and closing the freezer, Natsume Yuikawa tore open the package of one and handed it to Tachibana Miyuki, saying, "Consider this one as a treat for you. Just put it on my salary this week."

"Tsk, this alone is not enough to win my favor."

As Tachibana Miyuki spoke, her beautiful eyes glanced towards where Sakurai Airi was. After confirming that she was not paying attention to the situation here, she bent down, opened her rosy little mouth, and bit the ice cream with a sizzle. After standing up again, she pinched it with her fingers and tasted it carefully.

When Natsume Yuikawa saw Tachibana Miyuki like this, he knew that she had passed the test today, so he also joked and said, "I also want to give you everything in this freezer, but it will take time to restock, so we have to leave some for the store, right?"

After a while, Sakurai Airi came over pushing a cart. Natsume Yuikawa looked into the shopping cart and saw it was filled to the brim. A quick glance revealed that except for the bottom layer which contained daily necessities, the rest were all various snacks.

Wow, you said I only wanted to buy a little and just pretend to be a customer, this is really giving me face.

In order to demonstrate what he had just said, Natsume Yuikawa hurriedly helped Sakurai Airi pick up the items and pay the bill after she arrived, while pretending to speak casually:

"Teacher Sakurai, it's a good thing you came by car, otherwise you wouldn't be able to take so many things with you."

"Yes."

When it comes to cars, Sakurai Airi's eyes light up. After she emptied her shopping cart, while waiting to check out, she said, "I finally passed the driving test. If I don't buy a lot of things to take back, it will be the same as before."

"makes sense."

Natsume Yuikawa handed the milk-flavored ice cream to Sakurai Airi, "This is not included in the bill, because Manager Tachibana knew that you took good care of me at school, so he specially invited you, teacher. As long as you come and mention my name later, you can continue to get a discount."

"is it?"

Sakurai Airi was about to tear open the package and start eating, but she stopped immediately after hearing this and said to Tachibana Miyuki with a smile: "Thank you so much, this is what I should do."

"You're welcome."

Tachibana Miyuki roughly understood the situation from the conversation between Natsume Yuikawa and the others. Now she was more convinced that they had no relationship, so she deliberately frowned and said:

"I just want the teachers to stop caring about him so much in school, and to teach him more strictly, so that he can focus on studying and not be distracted all day long."

When she spoke to the end, Tachibana Miyuki glanced at Natsume Yuikawa intentionally or unintentionally, which made the latter sweat immediately.

Tachibana Miyuki's words were not only hinting that she was having an affair outside, but also allowed Sakurai Airi to strictly discipline her so that she would not have time to think about other things. It really killed two birds with one stone and was a ruthless conspiracy.

"No, Natsume actually studies very hard in school. He ranked very high in this monthly exam. For him, perhaps it is more important to combine work and rest."

After Sakurai Airi finished speaking, she took out her bag, put the things she bought into the shopping cart and paid for them. When she was about to put the things into the shopping cart and push it out, Natsume Yuikawa had already gotten there first.

"Teacher, you eat your ice cream first, otherwise it will melt if you wait any longer. I will help you pack these." Natsume Weichuan said busyly without even raising his head.

"Okay." Sakurai Ai responded.

Although she received the kindness of Natsume Yuikawa, Sakurai Airi was not very happy.

Because she discovered when she was shopping just now that the sequelae of the near-car accident had not completely subsided. It was okay with her holding onto the shopping cart, at most her face would turn a little pale, but without the support of the shopping cart, her legs would tremble.

Please, make sure you adjust before you finish eating the ice cream.

Sakurai Ai thought about it and started eating nervously.

This plan might be reasonable, but Sakurai Airi overlooked one point. If she could recover by her own will, she was distracted to that extent when she was buying things just now, how could she not get better?

This just shows that the shadow left in her subconscious mind is still deeply rooted, so after repeated psychological suggestion, not only did it not recover, but it made her more nervous, and the reaction was more obvious.
