My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

It was as if a reinforced platoon of Cupids had appeared, riddling her with crossbows and Gatling guns. Hiratsuka Shizuka felt her heart was about to explode with excitement.

"When Haruno sees you then, she'll be happy too, won't she?"

The moment those words left her lips, Xiaojing, who had been full of enthusiasm just moments before, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, instantly becoming calm: "Yonai is going too!?"

"Yes, all three of them went."

"Then I won't go!"

For some reason, Hiratsuka-nee had a strange fear of the large Yukinoshita, as if the other party was her nemesis.

Thinking about it this way, if they were at the banquet and Haruno saw the two of them dancing hand in hand, she would definitely come up and ask things like, "The teacher and student have such a good relationship, are they on a date?" "I knew you would think that, Shizuka." "Shizuka, Yukino will cry if you do that~" and then Hiratsuka would probably feel like committing suicide.

And this kind of scene might get back to the school. Don't be fooled by the fact that those older female teachers seem to have a good relationship with me; it's all just a fake friendship.

If it were just some overworked office worker, that would be fine, but if they actually posted photos of themselves with a handsome young man like Li Wei, these guys would definitely rush over with a "waaaaagh!" sound, shouting "FFF" while tying themselves up and burning them.

"But……"

"Even if you try to act cute, it won't work!" Resisting the urge to nod in agreement, the older female teacher gave her answer: "Alright, it's getting late, why don't you stay here for the night?"

Oh no, Li Wei's female companion operation has failed.

So, it was dinner time.

Li Wei walked into the kitchen in a very ordinary way, took charge of cooking and starting the fire, washed the pots and pans and dishes in a very ordinary way, cleaned up the mess in a very ordinary way, and helped Hiratsuka-nee wash her clothes in a very ordinary way.

To everyone else, it was perfectly normal for Hiratsuka-nee's house to have a man named Li Wei; no one noticed anything unusual. It was as if the boy was born to be there, and after finishing his chores, he was held by the older female teacher while watching TV.

It was 10:30 PM. After washing up and saying goodnight, the two went to their respective rooms. Everything seemed normal.

However, there is one slight difference.

"What happened today?"

Lying in her own bed, hugging a pillow embroidered with Li Wei, with her legs tightly pressed together, the older female teacher tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Her mature and beautiful body rolled around on the bed, trying every possible position, but nothing worked.

"Why can't you sleep?"

A 27-year-old college girl, desperate to get married, voiced her doubts.

The moment I close my eyes, all I can think about is the handsome guy next door. My liver fire is raging, and I'm slightly—no, extremely agitated.

"what is going on?"

Li Wei has stayed at her house countless times, so why not this time? She feels that the boy has been exceptionally handsome lately, and she even has an urge to lock him in the basement and rape him day and night.

Is the problem with myself, or with Li Wei?

It's true, it's true, it's true.

Until 2 a.m., the older female teacher, who was in a state of excitement and restless because of the scent on the boy, still couldn't close her eyes.

"I need to find a way, otherwise I'll die from lack of sleep."

After an unknown amount of time, Hiratsuka-nee, finally succumbing to drowsiness, mumbled something and fell asleep.

P.S.: Although the first subscription period is less than a day, I estimate that it has already exceeded my psychological expectations, so don't worry, I will continue to write!

Also, when downloading the Koi Fan chapters from the group, do not unzip them online.

Chapter 21 Angels and Demons

Meanwhile, next door, an older female teacher tossed and turned, unable to sleep, her liver fire at its peak, desperately needing yin and yang balance. Li Wei, too, lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

It was very cozy, extremely cozy. Even considering the wealthier Hakuou Academy, the faculty apartments they provided were still considerably smaller than his own house, both in terms of decor and size. But because it was Hiratsuka-nee who lived there, the boy didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

"Ah...that's so reassuring."

Li Wei lay on the bed, sighing with emotion, able to smell Hiratsuka's fragrance with every breath...

Wait, why does Hiratsuka-nee's bedroom bed, which she prepared specifically for herself, smell like her? Doesn't she usually sleep in her own room?

It couldn't be because she was extremely sad after each failed blind date, like a little animal abandoned by its owner, curled up on the boy's bed, breathing in his lingering scent and feeling his presence, relying on this as a spiritual pillar to get through each empty, lonely, and cold day, right?

I rolled over and felt something slightly uncomfortable under my body. I reached up and pushed myself up, then felt around and touched something silky smooth.

“It’s Hiratsuka-nee’s stockings…” In the cool moonlight, the boy immediately recognized what he was holding.

Why is this thing in my bed?!

Stop thinking about it. What's done is done. Go to sleep.

Li Wei closed his eyes and covered himself with the blanket, keeping his hands still and not moving around, afraid of touching something strange again.

Just then, my phone vibrated; someone had sent me a message.

"Yukino?" It's the smaller version of Yukino.

Li Wei was slightly surprised.

Although the two have a very good relationship and often help each other, the younger Yukinoshita has a rather aloof personality and rarely takes the initiative to send messages to herself, which is in stark contrast to her older sister and mother.

Is something wrong?

With that thought in mind, the boy opened his messaging app and saw the message the girl had sent him.

"Did your sister look for you yesterday?"

“That’s right.” The boy shifted to a more comfortable position to make it easier for him to type: “She wants to give me her invitation and ask me to take care of you and dance with you.”

"..."

After that, there was a moment of silence.

After a while, if Li Wei hadn't known that Yukino was a polite person and would definitely tell him when the chat ended, he would have suspected that she had already fallen asleep.

"Did she say anything else?"

"Some adult topics."

Li Wei sent the message subconsciously, then realized that his words could easily be misinterpreted, so he quickly added: "It's all about family, the future, and connections, along with some harmless jokes."

It's all because of this increasingly ambiguous atmosphere lately; it's making me act strangely.

Now that I think about it, the Yukinoshita sisters have such different personalities that she probably often gets teased by her older sister when they're together.

As the youngest daughter in the family, with an older sister who surpasses her in every way and has a playful personality, the pressure was immense.

"Did you accept the invitation?" Finally, the question got to the point.

“No, I refused,” Li Wei replied. “Accepting a gift that requires a friend to sacrifice themselves to achieve their own goals is not something a gentleman should do.”

"...Oh, I'm sorry to have disturbed your rest."

“However, I will participate, but I don’t need to accept gifts from others,” the boy replied decisively.

"..." Yukinoshita fell silent again.

Unlike last time, Li Wei could clearly sense that before, he was too shy to speak up and didn't know how to start, but this time he was somewhat surprised and a little proud.

As for why he could sense it, there was no special reason; he figured it must be so.

"I had no intention of expecting you to come with me!"

Because she was somewhat flustered, Yukinoshita sent out this message on her smaller phone.

Although he immediately realized his lapse in composure and quickly retracted his composure, it was very unfortunate that the boy had already seen it, and seen it very clearly.

“Yes, yes, I know. This is my own choice.” A smile appeared on Li Wei’s face. “Don’t worry, see you again this weekend.”

"……it is good."

"Go to sleep."

This time, the other party didn't send any more messages, but they seemed to be in a surprisingly good mood.

They both have such awkward personalities. Unlike Li Wei, who is clear about his likes and dislikes and never hides his feelings, they are different.

With my phone off and placed next to my pillow, I can finally get some rest this time.

……

The next morning, Li Wei got up early as usual. Then, he washed up and went into the kitchen, intending to make a cozy family breakfast.

When they opened the refrigerator, they found that besides beer, there were only snacks, frozen food, and leftover takeout.

The vegetables I bought last time haven't been touched at all; they've already rotted in the refrigerator. Only some eggs are still usable.

"..."

It's true, this increasingly unhealthy lifestyle makes people more and more颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, decadent, or dispirited). Because of this颓废, one's entire mental state suffers greatly. Because of this mental state, blind dates fail. Because of these failed blind dates, one gives up on oneself and leads to an unhealthy lifestyle.

The main theme is a series of interconnected events, like stepping on the gas and falling off a cliff.

There was no other way but to use what was available and make something simple.

A simple toasted bread, some ham, an egg, and a quick fry. Instant coffee with lots of sugar—at least this breakfast looks presentable.

A while later, the middle-aged female teacher, looking haggard and sporting dark circles under her eyes, yawned and walked out of the bedroom. She then saw Li Wei in the kitchen, wearing an apron and making breakfast.

He's a perfect husband, capable in both formal and domestic settings—truly a wonderful family man.

If you swapped the genders and replaced the boy in an apron with a naked body, that would be a scene from a Koi anime. Unfortunately, that's not the case, so this is a very wholesome, all-ages scene.

"Are you awake? Go wash your face and brush your teeth before you eat."

"Oh."

Although she was the owner of the apartment, the older female teacher still obediently went into the bathroom to take care of herself after hearing such a presumptuous remark.

Looking at herself in the mirror, who seemed a year older than last year, Xiaojing punched the wall.

"Damn it, why is Avi so handsome?" the older female teacher exclaimed angrily. "If I make a move on him, how am I any different from those infatuated female teachers? I treated him like a younger brother back then!"

In a daze, Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed to see two versions of herself appear above her head, one of them with demonic wings whispering about falling into the abyss:

"Stop sticking to outdated customs and bad habits! Let's have a good fight! Do you really want to watch him spend his whole life being all lovey-dovey with other girls while you grow old alone, forcing a smile and wishing them well? Life is about getting revenge and retaliating! To hell with this damn sibling affection!"

"Besides, wouldn't it be more interesting to have him call you 'sister' while [beep] at that time?"

Another version of myself with angel wings nodded frantically: "You're already twenty-seven and haven't had a boyfriend, let alone a [beep] life. Are you really going to wait until you're thirty to regret it? If you like him, go after him. If you can't get him, sleep with him. If you can't sleep with him, drug him. If he's resistant, then rape him. At worst, you'll go to jail. When you get out, rape him again. You don't even dare to go to jail, so what makes you say you love him!"

It was as if the string in Hiratsuka Shizuka's mind had suddenly snapped.

Chapter 22: The date for the party is finally decided.

And so, breakfast at the Hiratsuka family's house was as peaceful as ever today.

The television was broadcasting the morning news, which reported that another crime of passion had occurred in the city today. It was suspected that the victim, Ze Yuezhi, was cheating on multiple women and was brutally dismembered.

"This guy even had a mother-daughter family bucket of flowers! It's no wonder he got stabbed to death." The polite and well-mannered young man, who looked like a virtuous gentleman from ancient times, sighed.

Across the table, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was engrossed in eating, kept her eyes fixed on Li Wei, as if she were using him to make her eat.

In ancient times, people would read books while drinking wine. Although a certain older female teacher doesn't have such refined interests, the meaning is roughly the same.

"Oh, really. Does this mean I'm already old and past my prime?"

"Back then, I was Avi's favorite girl (he considered Ryougi to be a boy at the time), but now I can't even be treated as a woman. Is this the legendary seven-year itch? Even though we've known each other for more than seven years."

I am exhausted, both physically and mentally.

"It's getting late, I need to go home now." After tidying up the kitchen and dining room, the young man reminded the older female teacher, "Hiratsuka-nee, you need to take good care of yourself. Don't eat snacks and takeout all the time, and don't drink so much alcohol."

"Well then, see you next time."

Having said this, Li Wei, who had gained nothing this time, changed his clothes and left the teachers' apartment.

Yes, we went through the back door as instructed by Hiratsuka-nee, initially to prevent being discovered and abducted by other older female teachers along the way.

Of course, that was a last resort when Li Wei was still young and had no choice but to use this tactic against these highly skilled teachers. Although the boy is no longer afraid of them, considering Hiratsuka's safety, he decided to continue with stealth.

So the problem of finding female companions for weekend gatherings remains unresolved.

Given the boy's social circle and charm, finding a girl would be incredibly easy. But in that kind of situation, if Daizo asked who his female companion was, was he supposed to say it was a last-minute replacement?

Misato Aikawa or Anzu Fujibayashi—they're also Ozo's teachers! Taking them along completely changed the atmosphere of the entire party.

Lucy—she utterly despises crowded places and has virtually zero liking for strangers. If anyone were to offend her, a joyous occasion could easily turn into a tragedy.

Sister Juchuan—this girl resigned from St. Juliana Hospital specifically to become the school doctor at White Emperor Academy in order to pursue me. Last time, she even asked me for 1KG of [beep] fluid for research... How could I possibly give that away?
