My dear wife, I still love you more.

Mrs. Yuihama covered her mouth tightly with both hands, trying not to make a sound, but her eyes were wide open. Hiratsuka Shizuka's words were so informative that her brain couldn't quite process them. However, it seemed like the show was going to be very interesting. What should she do if she suddenly wanted some sunflower seeds? Mrs. Yuihama regretted that she had only brought a bento box and forgotten to bring some sunflower seeds.

As for the bento boxes, Mrs. Yuigahama wanted to thank Kenichi Hasegawa, so she made extra breakfast, including one for Yui Yuigahama and one for Kenichi Hasegawa. That's why she went to the door so early in the morning, but she never expected to witness such a shocking event.

"You bastard! Am I not pretty? Am I not attractive at all? I'm a teacher, I'm a teacher! Don't you feel any thrill of breaking taboos when you're in front of me, you bastard!" Hiratsuka Shizuka continued to roar.

"Gulp—" Hasegawa Kenichi couldn't help but swallow again: "So, Hiratsuka-sensei, you, you want me to do that kind of thing to you?"

"It's not about whether or not we do that kind of thing, I'm talking about how you're ignoring my charm, you bastard."

"But, but isn't this a problem?"

"How can this be one thing? This is clearly two things, two things!" Hiratsuka Shizuka shouted excitedly, grabbing Hasegawa Kenichi's collar with both hands and shaking him violently.

Kenichi Hasegawa felt like he was a soft noodle.

"So tell me, do you want me to sleep with you, or do you not want me to sleep with you?"

"You bastard, is this the only filthy thought in your head?" Hiratsuka Shizuka roared, clenching her right fist, ready to punch Hasegawa Kenichi in the face.

Hasegawa Kenichi tilted his head to dodge Hiratsuka Shizuka's fist: "Hiratsuka-sensei, you're a teacher. Don't forget your place."

"What's wrong with the teacher? I'm a woman too! You bastards, you men are all bastards! Why do I always fail at blind dates? Why do every guy I think is okay reject me? I'm so pretty, yet those men would rather choose an average-looking woman than me. Now you bastard, I'm lying naked in front of you, and you won't even touch me! Don't I have any womanly strength? Don't I have any charm, you bastard!"

Snapped!

The sound of something falling to the ground.

Kenichi Hasegawa, Shizuka Hiratsuka, and Mrs. Yui subconsciously turned their heads and saw Yui standing at the door with a bewildered look on her face. At her feet was the schoolbag that had fallen from her hand.

Yui Yuigahama came to find Kenichi Hasegawa to go to school together, but today's situation was a little different. Usually, Yui Yuigahama would just wait in front of her house, and Kenichi Hasegawa would always pass by, after which she would follow him.

This time, however, Yui had been waiting for quite a while but hadn't seen Kenichi Hasegawa at all. So, after much hesitation, she finally came to find him. But what she saw when she arrived at the Hasegawa residence was quite unexpected.

Her homeroom teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka, actually demanded that Hasegawa Kenichi do *that* to her. This was shocking! She even wondered if she was hallucinating, but Hiratsuka Shizuka was right there, grabbing Hasegawa Kenichi, looking like she was forcing him to comply.

Chapter 45 Hiratsuka Shizuka has a headache

"Hmph!" Hiratsuka Shizuka snorted, released her grip on Hasegawa Kenichi's collar, and pushed him back down.

"I didn't mean anything by it. I'm the teacher, you're the student, and you're quite ordinary-looking. I'm just angry that you ignored my feminine charm." Hiratsuka Shizuka had finally regained her composure and stopped dwelling on those messy things.

"I—" Hasegawa Kenichi had a bitter smile on his face. He had kindly helped Hiratsuka Shizuka last night, but in the end, he was the one who ended up pleasing neither side.

Mrs. Yuihama was particularly disappointed that she hadn't brought any sunflower seeds. Of course, it would have been even better if there had been watermelon, but unfortunately, watermelon was just too expensive, and she couldn't afford it.

Yui Yuigahama's mind was still reeling. She still didn't understand what had happened. Why was Shizuka Hiratsuka-sensei at Hasegawa Kenichi's house, and why did she seem so angry? Thinking back to what Shizuka Hiratsuka-sensei had said earlier, could it be that Hasegawa Kenichi had taken advantage of Shizuka Hiratsuka-sensei and then abandoned her? With these thoughts in mind, Yui Yuigahama couldn't help but widen her eyes, her face filled with horror.

"you--"

Suddenly, her phone rang, interrupting Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was trying to explain herself after noticing the others' strange expressions.

Hiratsuka Shizuka took out her phone, saw the number displayed, and couldn't help but frown, but still answered the call.

"Mom. Why are you calling me so early in the morning? What's up?" Hiratsuka Shizuka said in a rude tone, pursing her lips.

"Xiaojing, tell me, where did you go last night?" Hiratsuka Shizuka's mother's voice came through the phone.

"Uh, last night? I didn't go anywhere last night, I just stayed home." Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression changed, but she still spoke in the most normal tone, though her voice still carried a hint of guilt. After all, she had spent the night at a student's house, and it was just the two of them—it felt a bit dangerous no matter how you looked at it. Of course, the worst part was that the bastard student had taken off her clothes and then didn't do anything. Just thinking about it made Hiratsuka Shizuka want to grit her teeth.

"You were home last night? Then why didn't I see you?"

"Huh? Mom, you went to my house yesterday?" Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"No. I just couldn't get through when I called you. But it seems you really didn't come home last night." Old foxes are wiser, Hiratsuka Shizuka's mother said calmly.

"Um, well, I, I... I stayed at a friend's house last night," Hiratsuka Shizuka said guiltily.

"Friend? Is that the person you went on a blind date with yesterday? Did the blind date go well? And, and you're already living together so quickly?" Shizuka Hiratsuka's mother's voice suddenly rose on the phone.

"Huh? No, no. No, I didn't. Mom, don't talk nonsense, I—"

"Xiaojing, well done. You did a great job this time. Let me tell you, you should have done this a long time ago. When you meet someone you like, don't hesitate, just go for it. Make the relationship official as soon as possible, so he can't escape. Xiaojing, you were really smart this time." Hiratsuka Shizuka's mother's voice was filled with joy on the phone.

"No, Mom, that's not how it is."

"Hehe, still shy? Don't be shy, Mom's been there. Get things done as soon as possible, preferably get pregnant, then he definitely won't be able to run away. After all, you're so old, you've never even had a boyfriend, and your blind dates always fail—"

"Mom!!!" Hiratsuka Shizuka's face turned red, both from anger and embarrassment, especially since her two students were in front of her.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. How about this, when you have some time, bring him home so your mom and dad can see him."

"No, Mom, listen to me—"

"How about this, tonight, no, that's a bit too hasty. Tomorrow night, bring him home tomorrow night."

"Huh? No, Mom, listen to me, Mom? Mom? Mom—" Hiratsuka Shizuka was completely bewildered. She looked down and saw that the phone had already been hung up.

Seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka like this, Hasegawa Kenichi couldn't help but laugh. He felt a deep empathy for Shizuka's situation. Thinking back to before he transmigrated, almost immediately after graduating from university and starting his career, his family relentlessly pressured him with blind dates and introductions—the list was endless. But the thought that someone as strong as Hiratsuka Shizuka would encounter such a thing still made him want to laugh.

"Snapped!"

"What are you laughing at, you bastard?" Hiratsuka Shizuka slammed her hand on the table, glaring at Hasegawa Kenichi.

"No, I didn't laugh, I didn't laugh?"

"Not laughing? Do you think I'm blind?"

"Oh no, it's already this late, time for school! If I don't go now, I'll be late!" Kenichi Hasegawa pretended to check the time, then exclaimed in surprise.

"You—humph!" Hiratsuka Shizuka was furious, but she was, after all, a teacher, and Hasegawa Kenichi was, after all, a student, and she couldn't stop him from going to school.

……

"I almost missed it!"

Kenichi Hasegawa breathed a sigh of relief. He rushed as fast as he could and still arrived at school before class. Fortunately, as a top student, even if he was late, the teachers usually wouldn't say anything. But being late is never a good thing.

"Hasegawa-kun, what happened today? You're usually here much earlier than usual."

A voice suddenly rang out from behind, startling Hasegawa Kenichi. Turning around, he saw Kato Megumi standing there gracefully.

"Hey Kato, I don't think this is the first time I've said this, do you? Don't just show up like this all of a sudden, it's terrifying!" Kenichi Hasegawa couldn't help but complain.

"I didn't suddenly appear; it's just that you, Hasegawa-kun, completely ignored my presence," Kato Megumi complained lightly.

"Uh, okay, okay, I didn't notice."

"Also, Hasegawa-san, you actually called me Kato directly. You even omitted the 'student' title. So, Hasegawa-san, do you have some feelings for me?" Kato Megumi stared at Hasegawa Kenichi with her dark eyes.

"Huh? Oh? No, it's just that we're friends now. If we're friends, then we can naturally omit the classmate title." Hasegawa Kenichi paused for a moment, as if he had indeed called Kato Megumi "Kato" and omitted the "classmate" suffix.

"Friends? In that case, alright then, Hasegawa, I'll call you that too."

"Mmm-hmm." Kenichi Hasegawa nodded casually.

"Actually, if Hasegawa really has feelings for me, I won't refuse," Kato Megumi said in her usual tone.

Chapter 46 Saeko Busujima While Waiting

"Huh?" Hasegawa Kenichi was taken aback. He glanced at Kato Megumi, whose expression remained unchanged, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking. He shook his head. "Thank you so much, Kato-dori—Kato, you—"

"Well, just kidding, Hasegawa, you're not taking this seriously, are you? Or do you really have feelings for me?" Kato Megumi interrupted Hasegawa Kenichi.

"..."

Kenichi Hasegawa didn't take Kato Megumi's words seriously, assuming it was a joke. After all, Hasegawa knew his own situation; he was ordinary-looking and unremarkable. Most high school girls at that age like handsome guys. While Kato Megumi was a little odd, there was no doubt she was very cute. A cute girl like that wouldn't date an ordinary, unremarkable person.

Besides, Kenichi Hasegawa is attracted to mature beauties like Mrs. Yuihama. So he doesn't want to think about it too much.

The bell rang, signaling the start of class, but the first class today should be with Hiratsuka Shizuka. To be honest, Hasegawa Kenichi felt a little guilty facing Hiratsuka Shizuka right now, given what had happened last night and this morning; it was bound to be somewhat awkward. It was just a pity that a student and a teacher couldn't avoid each other.

However, when the teacher walked into the classroom for the first class, Kenichi Hasegawa discovered that it wasn't Shizuka Hiratsuka who walked in, but the bald-haired math teacher. Well, the bald-haired teacher, with his distinctive bald hairstyle, so his name didn't matter; just knowing that he was the bald-haired teacher was enough.

"We've rescheduled a class today, and since Mr. Hiratsuka can't come for the time being, we'll be having math today. Mr. Hiratsuka will be teaching math this afternoon. Now, everyone, open your books, let's begin class." The Mediterranean-looking teacher's expression was flat, his tone was flat, and even his voice was so flat, as if he had no emotion at all.

If this kind of appearance were on a cute girl, it would be considered endearing, like Kato Megumi. Unfortunately, this is a wealthy man around forty years old with a receding hairline. Therefore, his appearance not only lacks any cuteness, but actually makes one feel drowsy.

Generally speaking, the most students who fall asleep are those taught by the Mediterranean teacher. After all, his unchanging manner, including the volume and tone of his voice, is even more powerful than hypnosis. Even a top student like Kenichi Hasegawa needs immense willpower to resist falling asleep during his classes.

The bell finally rang, and the moment Hasegawa Kenichi heard it, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The hypnotic voice of the bald-haired teacher was truly terrifying. Only after the teacher turned and left as the bell rang did the students who had been hypnotized slowly get up from their desks.

"Kenichi." Aki Tomoya ran up to Hasegawa Kenichi. "Kenichi, did something happen? Your novel has already been published, and you should have received a lot of royalties. Why are you working instead? If you need any help, you can let me know. Well, it might not be helpful."

"Thank you, Tomoya. Something did happen, but I can handle it. Don't worry," Hasegawa Kenichi said to Aki Tomoya with a smile.

To be fair, Kenichi Hasegawa acknowledges Aki Tomoya as a friend. While Aki Tomoya's passion for anime and manga sometimes causes trouble for others, he's never stingy when it comes to helping others, especially when Hasegawa has the ability to do so. That's what makes him so valuable.

Kenichi Hasegawa has met many so-called friends. They laugh and joke around and have a lot of fun in ordinary times, but when a real problem arises and help is needed, you can see who runs away the fastest and who runs the furthest. Despite Aki Tomoya's many flaws, he's really a good friend.

"I see, then I'm relieved. Actually, if we're going to work, it would be best if we went to work together in the same place, but it's a pity you chose an izakaya." Aki Tomoya said with a hint of regret, "Otherwise, we could have had a good chat about anime while we were working."

"Hehe, if you're going to work, it's better to work hard."

"Yes, I know. Actually, I was very serious when I was working. All the places I worked had a very high opinion of me," Aki Tomoya said with a hint of pride.

"Yeah, that's why I said, Tomoya, you're pretty amazing too."

……

In the afternoon, Hiratsuka Shizuka finally appeared, looking much the same as before, still wearing long sleeves and trousers with a white lab coat over them. However, Hasegawa Kenichi noticed that during class, Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed to subconsciously avoid his gaze, as if she acted strangely whenever her eyes fell on him.

Actually, not only Hiratsuka Shizuka, but Hasegawa Kenichi was also a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, afternoon classes weren't long, and school ended quickly.

After school, Kenichi Hasegawa quickly packed up and left the school. This time, he wasn't even going to the kendo club. After all, he needed to work to earn money, at least to cover his living expenses, and there were other things to do afterwards. So, he'd skip the kendo club for now.

However, Kenichi Hasegawa was unaware that in the corner where he practiced kendo, Saeko Busujima, the kendo club president with long purple hair, was quietly waiting for him.

Saeko Busujima made a special inquiry and discovered that Kenichi Hasegawa hadn't been absent from the kendo club before; he had always been there, but he would go to some secluded corners, which was why Saeko hadn't been able to find him. This time, she made a special inquiry and found the place where Kenichi usually practiced, and waited for him there. Unfortunately, this time, Kenichi really didn't come to the kendo club.

After waiting for a long time without seeing anyone, and even looking at the kendo club's sign-in list, Hasegawa Kenichi's name was nowhere to be found, which made Saeko Busujima frown.

Chapter 47 Persuading Mrs. Yuihama

After school, Kenichi Hasegawa went straight to the izakaya (Japanese pub). At this time, there were not many customers, so it was relatively quiet. After changing his clothes, Kenichi Hasegawa planned to prepare some of the ingredients he needed.

"Hasegawa, it's great to have you here to work today," the izakaya owner said to Hasegawa Kenichi with a smile.

"Uh, didn't we already agree on this? It's perfectly normal for me to come to work." Kenichi Hasegawa looked at his boss with some confusion.

"Hehehe, after all, you brought a beautiful woman home yesterday. I thought you might have done something you shouldn't have while she was drunk and ended up in jail. But it seems you didn't do anything wrong. But hey, she was such a beauty, so pretty and with such a great figure, and you didn't do anything? That's such a waste." The boss winked at Hasegawa Kenichi, teasing him.
