Kyoto: I just want to be a gentleman

There was total silence in the audience, and several students raised their heads and stared at him intently.

After spending so much time together, they knew that Watanabe Hideyuki was a man of his words.

but...

Ishiyama Ryoma, who was sitting in the audience, asked the question on their behalf: "Watanabe, will it be troublesome? I have things to do when I get home tonight..."

He just bought a new galgame yesterday. The uncle in the game store said that the prototype of the heroine in the game is the recently popular national girl Kaoru Iketani. He has decided to devote all his free time in the next few days to the beautiful national girl.

"No, it will only take up your after-school tutoring time."

Watanabe Hideyuki said this, picked up the test paper that had been prepared long ago from the side, and distributed it.

"This is...?"

"This is the test paper I prepared with great concentration."

"The test paper?"

"Yes." Watanabe Hideyuki smiled and nodded, "I have summarized all the test papers for the past five semesters, summarized each type of questions, and made accurate predictions of the types of questions they will ask. It's all in these papers."

"This means..." Hearing Watanabe Hideyuki's words, Ishiyama Ryoma opened his mouth wide and muttered to himself.

However, since several people in the audience were standing very close to him, his mumblings were obviously heard clearly by the people next to him.

Watanabe Hideyuki looked at his best friend with an appreciative look.

As expected, he is worthy of being his best friend.

Even without prior communication, the other party can perfectly perform the two roles of supporting actor and supporting actor, which have similar responsibilities.

"Yes, this means...you got the test papers in advance."

"Siguoyi!" Upon hearing this, Ishiyama Ryoma excitedly slapped the table and even stood up, "Watanabe, I knew you had the solution..."

Watanabe Hideyuki pressed his hands down, and when no one spoke, he continued, "Of course, you don't have all the subjects you have now, only mathematics. I will send you the test papers of the remaining subjects in the next few days."

"But after finishing the test, it is best for everyone to memorize the solution ideas."

"It's a must!" Arai, who had been sitting in the middle without saying anything, suddenly patted his chest and shouted, "If we don't memorize the solution, we will be found out and it will be considered cheating. We..."

"You don't need to do too many predicted test papers. 3-4 sets a day will be enough to cope with the tests in the next semester. As long as you work hard, I guarantee that your deviation value will be above points." At the last moment, Watanabe Hideyuki reminded seriously.

Finally, it’s time to boost morale.

"I believe that few of you are willing to attend this after-school tutoring. At the same time, I also believe that no one deliberately chooses not to take the exam even though they have the ability to get excellent grades. So instead of sitting here doing nothing, you might as well work hard for 50 minutes and give a resounding slap in the face to those who look down on you."

Then came some passionate and brainwashing slogans, such as "Work hard for 15 days, I want to go to Dongda University", "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the young and poor" and so on.

Several students in the audience seemed to be full of energy, their pens flying on the predicted exam papers. Even Kitano Chiaki rarely looked at the predicted exam paper and began to flip through the book to find the corresponding knowledge points.

Today's after-school tutoring ended in this strange atmosphere.

Several students left one after another carrying their schoolbags. Chiaki Kitano was the last one to leave. After she left the classroom, she looked at Watanabe Hideyuki with a strange look, which made Watanabe Hideyuki a little confused.

When only Watanabe Hideyuki and Nishii Satomi were left in the classroom.

Nishii Satomi pinched the corner of Watanabe Hideyuki's clothes and whispered, "Hideyuki-kun... let me help you... with the predicted test paper."

She saw that the boy had spent the entire afternoon flipping through books, racking his brains to highlight the key points. She felt a little sorry for him, as he looked really tired.

But Watanabe Hideyuki avoided the question.

"Does the deal you made last time still count?"

"What...deal?"

"If my academic performance is better than yours, tell me a secret."

"No...it's not very likely..." When saying this, Nishii Satomi lowered her head shyly.

Ah.

Damn woman.

Arrogance is your original sin.

He had to let her know how powerful he was.

So Watanabe Hideyuki quietly closed the classroom door.

Chapter 80 A Day in the Life of Kitajima Moka (1)

Kyoto City Yamanouchi Elementary School is located in a quiet neighborhood, surrounded by lush trees and blooming flowers. Every morning, the sunlight shines through the treetops and dapples every corner of the campus, bringing vitality and vigor to the school.

The gate of the campus is ancient and solemn. The name of the school on the iron gate is carefully carved. These words were carved by experts sent by the municipal government decades ago, so each word looks heavy and powerful.

After entering the gate, a wide tree-lined avenue leads directly to the teaching building. The leaves of the sycamore trees on both sides sway gently in the breeze, and at the end of the road is the school's teaching building.

The teaching building is a quaint and elegant building with red walls and gray tiles. It is particularly eye-catching under the sunlight. In the corridor of the teaching building, the children's laughter and cheers can be heard one after another, full of youthful vitality and vigor.

The students taking physical education classes on the playground seemed to have made this energy and vigor more concrete. They ran freely on the wide playground, playing football and badminton. They firmly believed that no one was happier than them.

But Kitajima Moka doesn't think so.

"Dismiss! Students are free to move around freely."

This is the sentence that Kitajima Moka is most afraid of hearing during physical education class.

Every time at this time, her classmates had someone to play with, but she seemed to be forgotten by the whole world, wandering around the playground like a transparent person.

Looking at her classmates gathering in groups of three or four, playing games, playing football, chatting and joking, Kitajima Moka felt an indescribable loneliness.

She had tried to join them, but was politely rejected each time, or even completely ignored at times. She didn't understand why she was always the one who was excluded.

Is it because she doesn't have a father?

This thought has been lingering in her mind for a long time.

Kitajima Mika's father died when she was very young, leaving her and her mother to depend on each other.

Although her mother tried her best to give her a complete family, she always felt that she was different from other classmates.

Is it because of this reason that her classmates don’t want to play with her?

She sat on the steps not far away, lowered her head, and looked at her shoes, her heart full of confusion and helplessness.

After endless waiting, the time of physical education class finally passed slowly in the silence and loneliness that belonged to her alone...

After returning to the teaching building, Kitajima Moka sat at her desk and tidied it carefully.

At this time, the teacher in charge of the class walked up to her.

"Moxia, next week it will be your parents' turn to conduct the class meeting."

Kitajima Moka's hands trembled slightly and she stopped tidying up the desk.

She looked up at the teacher, a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

"Okay, teacher." She responded softly, but her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

The practice of bringing parents into classroom meetings is popular in primary education throughout East Asia.

This activity can effectively help parents understand their children’s learning and living conditions in school.

But obviously, this activity was not as friendly to Kitajima Mosha as she had imagined.

The same is true for parent-teacher conferences.

For her, this is a sensitive and complicated topic.

Every time the school organizes similar activities, it is the time she fears the most.

It was not because she was worried about her mother's performance, but because she knew that every time this happened, her family background would be mentioned again and attract attention.

"Moxia, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me at any time." The teacher seemed to see her uneasiness and comforted her softly.

Kitajima Mika nodded and tried to force a smile, "Thank you, teacher."

Kitajima Moka spent the whole day in a daze, and even when she was eating, she almost knocked over her lunch box.

She didn't even know how she got home, and the only thing in her mind was what her teacher said to her.

This confused state continued until I sat down at the table to eat dinner in the evening.

Kitajima Moka chewed the food in her mouth mechanically, but her heart was in turmoil.

Miyuki also noticed something unusual about Moxia.

Similarly, she knew the source of this anomaly - she received a text message from her teacher in the afternoon, asking her if she had time to go to school for a class meeting next week.

She clearly knew the reason for her daughter's loss, but for various reasons she was unable to make up for it, which was what made her most uncomfortable.

She felt that she was not a qualified mother.

The entire dinner was spent in silence between the two of them.

After finishing her homework, Kitajima Moka lay down in bed early and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

She didn't know how to tell her mother.

Just at this moment, she suddenly heard a strange movement coming from downstairs.

Snapped.

Then there was the rustle of the chain on the door.

Is my brother back?

A bold idea came to her mind.

If...if her brother could pretend to be her father and go to school...

This way...no one will say she is a wild child without a father.

Is this really feasible?

Kitajima Moka kept thinking about the feasibility of this idea in her mind.

This sounds like a ridiculous idea... Can you agree to it, brother?

Two completely different ideas were fighting like angels and demons in Kitajima Mosha's little head. Finally, the balance of victory completely tilted to one side, and she finally made her choice.

She slowly got up, put on her shoes, walked carefully up to the third floor, came to the door of Watanabe Hideyuki's room, and mustered up the courage to knock on the door gently.

Although this idea was unrealistic, she couldn't help but want to try it. She really wanted to have a father, even if it was just a fake one, even if it was only for one day...
