The Japanese-fear sorcerer who started by taking in Tomie
Chapter 19 The Aging Empty Tree
Water Sunday (Wednesday).
Sakuramidai High School.
Shin Hengyuan and Fu Jiang entered the classroom one after the other.
Instantly, all eyes in the class turned to him.
Xin Hengyuan remained calm and walked straight to his seat, ignoring the gazes of the entire class.
Tomie slightly raised her chin, a faint smile playing on her lips, and walked gracefully to her seat, meeting everyone's gaze.
"Kawakami-kun came to school with Shingen-kun today...!"
"Don't you guys think Kawakami looks even better today than he did the day before?"
"Wow, it seems like Kawakami and Shinji are really close. Do you think they're dating?"
"Both Kawakami and Shinji took the day off yesterday. Do you think it's possible they're living together?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could Kawakami-sama possibly fall for that Shinji guy?!" This was a Tomie admirer whose resolve had crumbled.
"Keep your voice down, she's looking this way!"
……
Whispers came from all corners, the voices were kept very low, but they couldn't be suppressed.
Tomie ignored him, pulled out a chair and sat down, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear with her slender fingers, the movement slow and natural, as if she had no idea of the commotion she had caused.
Tomie had caused this level of disturbance countless times before, so she paid it no mind.
Xin Hengyuan opened his textbook, his gaze sweeping across the edges of the pages, taking in the amazed and envious expressions on his classmates' faces.
He turned his gaze away and landed on Tomie, who was standing to the side.
Tomie was turned to the side, looking out the window.
Sunlight shone on her profile, making Tomie look like an angel.
Xin Hengyuan knew that beneath that angelic exterior lay a devil.
Xin Hengyuan sighed inwardly.
Tomie is really troublesome.
He knew that Tomie's situation would inevitably bring him trouble. Who knows, some people might already be plotting to put a sack over his head after school.

But he wouldn't be happy to let Shin Hengyuan drive Tomie away.
He wouldn't give up such good materials.
Moreover, even if Shinhengyuan were to drive Tomie away, Tomie might not necessarily leave.
"Shinheng."
A voice suddenly rang out from behind.
Xin Hengyuan turned his head and saw a boy with glasses and an ordinary appearance, holding a stack of documents, looking at him.
I still remember Xin Hengyuan; he seemed to be the class monitor.
"Teacher Kongmu wants you to come to his office at noon."
"Understood." Xin Hengyuan nodded.
The squad leader glanced at Tomie again, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He looked at Shin Hengyuan with envy and turned to leave.
New Hengyuan: "..."
Xin Hengyuan withdrew his gaze and thoughtfully pinched his chin.
office?
I wonder what Mr. Kuki wanted to see him about?
Hopefully it won't be anything too troublesome.
"Shingen, I want to go too!" Tomie shouted, trying to follow.
"What are you going to do with me? Teacher Kongmu only wants me to go alone." Shin Hengyuan refused decisively.
"Hmm, don't be so heartless, just go, just go." Tomie stepped forward and hugged Shingen's arm, acting coquettishly, and leaned her breasts against him.
The classroom fell silent instantly.
The students still in the class were completely petrified—so this is what Kawakami-kun really is like?
"Stop! No means no!"
Shin Hengyuan got goosebumps all over, pulled his arm away, hit Tomie on the head hard again, and then walked out of the classroom without looking back.
Tomie winced in pain, clutching her head and pouting in annoyance, muttering under her breath, "What a blockhead."
She looked up and found all her classmates staring at her in disbelief. Instantly, she straightened her face and scolded them.
"What are you looking at? You ugly bunch, what right do you have to look at me? Go read your books!"
Tomie has never been a good-tempered person.
She just couldn't unleash her temper in front of Xin Hengyuan, since he wouldn't tolerate it and would actually hit her.
Tomie's face still feels a dull ache.
Xin Hengyuan walked through the corridor, down the stairs, and across a skybridge connecting the two teaching buildings to arrive at the faculty and staff office building. Kongmu's office was on the third floor, the second room on the right at the end of the corridor.
Xin Hengyuan stopped at the door and knocked.
Although he skipped classes, got into fights, and didn't study well, Xin Hengyuan still felt he was a good student, and as a good student, he should still knock on the door.
"Please come in."
A hoarse, weak middle-aged voice came from inside.
Xin Hengyuan pushed open the door and was startled.
A man was sitting behind the desk; it was Mr. Kuki.
His hair was sparse and had grown many discolored patches, covering his head like a chicken coop. His eye sockets were sunken, and two dark circles had seeped from his lower eyelids to his cheekbones. He raised his eyes, and his eyeballs were bloodshot.
Shin Hengyuan clearly remembers that just two days ago, Teacher Kongmu's hair was still completely black, and his voice was still loud and clear; you could hear him lecturing even through the corridor.
Now, Mr. Kongmu, let alone forty years old, people would probably believe he is sixty.
"Shinheng, please sit down." Mr. Kongmu waved his hand weakly, beckoning Shinheng to come over.
Xin Hengyuan sat down opposite him, his gaze sweeping over the face where the eyes seemed to bulge out, before finally speaking: "Teacher, are you not feeling well?"
Teacher Kongmu waved his hand, "It's nothing, I just haven't been sleeping well these past two days."
Xinhengyuan did not respond.
Didn't sleep well?
You don't look like you haven't slept well for two days; it looks like you haven't slept for two years.
"Teacher, what can I do for you?" Xin Hengyuan asked.
"It's nothing serious." Ms. Kuki pulled out a report card from the side, tapping her finger on the paper. "Your deviation score on your recent exam was a bit low, unlike your usual grades. You need to pay attention!"
Xin Hengyuan looked down. The report card showed his scores and rankings for each subject in the most recent mock exam.
His gaze swept over the numbers, and indeed, they had declined compared to the original owner's previous performance.
After transmigrating, Xin Hengyuan was busy dealing with the inheritance. During that time, he could count the number of times he flipped through books on one hand, so it was normal for his grades to drop.
"I will be careful, teacher."
Ms. Kuki smiled and nodded with great effort, then rubbed her neck.
"You are the student I trust the most. Regarding that matter... please accept my condolences. If you encounter any difficulties, please let me know."
Xin Hengyuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Alright, go back to class." Teacher Kongmu waved his hand, indicating that Shin Hengyuan could leave.
"By the way, teacher, where do you live?" Xin Hengyuan turned around and asked halfway there.
"Huh?" Teacher Kuki looked up.
"I just wanted to visit my teacher." Shin Hengyuan grinned, showing his big teeth in a very sunny smile.
"You silly child... I live in..."
Click.
The moment the office door closed, Xin Hengyuan's smile vanished, his expression darkened, and his brows furrowed slightly.
