"No, that would be too boring."

"Using other people's names as a way to pass the time, your personality is quite interesting, isn't it? Sakurakoji, how come I didn't notice this last time? I think you need someone to replace your school teachers and come and teach you a lesson." Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled and clenched her fist, making a cracking sound.

"There just happens to be an educator here, right? Look?"

"Heh, does Ms. Shizuka want to have a fair samurai duel with me? Although I haven't practiced in a long time, I shouldn't lose. After all, I've learned various styles of self-defense techniques since I was a child." Sakura Koji showed an interested expression on his face, did a Goku jump on the spot, and looked at her eagerly.

"..." Hiratsuka Shizuka's murderous gaze was fixed on him, and it seemed as if lightning and sparks were constantly breaking between the two of them, causing Yamada Ryo and Iji Chi Nikka, who were standing to the side, to hug each other and tremble.

After a long while, she turned her head, clicked her tongue, and sat down.

"You're really not cute at all!"

"Although I may not be very cute, I think Ms. Shizuka is cute in both personality and appearance." Sakurakoji Sai narrowed his fiery eyes and chuckled in response.

"What?!" Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression changed. She spread her arms as if she was startled, leaned back, and looked at him with fear in her eyes.

"You rascal! Don't you know what you can and can't say?! Don't you dare flirt with adults!"

"It's just saying what's on my mind, what's wrong with that? Besides, I'm only a few years older, it's nothing. I'm not a student, I won't fall for your act." He turned around and started preparing for his work, replying casually.

"You..." Faced with his stubbornness, Hiratsuka Shizuka bit her lip and was at a loss. She choked for a moment, not even knowing whether it was out of shyness or excitement, and her beautiful profile gradually turned a little pink.

Finally, she could only puff out her cheeks and complain to Ichika Hoshika, "Hey, I can forgive your sister, but why are all your employees so arrogant? I'm going to file a complaint!"

"Give up. I have no way to deal with this guy. I even rely on him to support me now." Ijichi Hoshika rested her chin on her hand, not at all surprised by her defeat. She took a sip of Goodbaby juice and said calmly.

"You really are a useless store manager..."

"Long-winded!"

Noticing that the situation quickly calmed down, Sakurakoji Takayuki wasn't surprised at all. After all, they all had this carefree personality. Although Hiratsuka Shizuka could sometimes hold grudges, she was usually easy to coax. Otherwise, he wouldn't have joked with her like that.

From this perspective, perhaps this is the composure of an adult.

"Speaking of which, Sakurakoji." After chatting with Ijichi Seika for a while and then taking a break, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Sakurakoji's busy figure ahead and asked curiously, "How old are you? Are you really not in school anymore?"

Although she had asked Ichika Hoshika, she didn't seem to know much either. She only knew that he was a returned overseas student who hadn't enrolled in school yet, but he was outstanding in all aspects. His family situation and specific address were unknown. All she knew was that his parents were overseas, he had a younger sister whose age was also unknown, and that he had come to work at Fanxing by some coincidence and had now become a pillar of the company. In short, he was full of mystery.

Hearing Sakurakoji Sai say that he wasn't a student again rekindled her curiosity.

This guy was unlike any teenager I'd ever met; he was inexplicably difficult and peculiar. His looks and aura surpassed everyone I'd ever seen. Not just the popular, masculine guy at my school, but even in high society, I'd never seen anyone like him.

What kind of environment and experiences shaped him into the person he is? Judging from his appearance, he should be about the same age as his students. Do his parents just leave him like this?

"I am indeed not attending school right now, and as for my age, that's a problem." Sakura Koji rested his chin on his hand, thought for a moment, and realized he had almost forgotten about this issue since he hadn't thought about it in so long.

It's only when his family celebrates his birthday each year that he realizes: "Oh, so this is my birthday."

He usually just drifted along, and before returning to Tokyo, he rarely even looked at the clock. He was already exhausted from struggling with his own body every day, so he spent the rest of his time distracting himself and numbing his senses by learning all sorts of things.

"Well, that's a secret," Sakurakoji Saiki put his index finger to his lips, his long eyelashes trembling, and replied with a faint smile, "In any case, it won't be someone who's just starting high school."

It's obvious that his younger sister is going to be a high school freshman this year, so how could he be the same age as her?

"Still keeping secrets... Are you some kind of shy young lady?" Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at him speechlessly.

But I have to say, this guy's move actually has a certain flair for it, even better than in movies and TV shows... No, no, what am I thinking? I'm letting this guy lead me astray!

She couldn't help but look at him with a hint of unease, finding the little boy incredibly sweet.

"If she's not at the age of just starting high school, then she must be at least at the age of preparing for her second year of high school, right?" Hiratsuka Shizuka guessed.

"Who knows? Maybe it's the age when she should be in college, or maybe she's already graduated and should be starting her career." Sakura Koji chuckled, not giving a direct answer.

"Who are you trying to fool! How could it possibly be that big?" Hiratsuka Shizuka was displeased with his cunning.

"Doesn't it look like it?" Sakura Koji was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly frowned, adding a touch of toughness to the originally peaceful lines of his eyes. His gaze became deep and sharp, adding a hint of the resentment of a working-class person wishing for the world to end. His whole demeanor became aloof, and he looked coldly at Hiratsuka Shizuka: "And now?"

"..."

Faced with his performance that made him seem to have aged ten years in an instant, Hiratsuka Shizuka twitched the corners of her mouth, suddenly finding herself speechless, but in the end—she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! What is this crap! Do you think you're doing rakugo (stand-up comedy)?" She wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes from laughing, and brazenly mocked his clumsy acting.

"Strange, doesn't it seem like it? I was quite confident." Seeing her reaction, Sakurakoji's talent began to doubt himself.

"You're a hundred years too young to act mature!"

Despite saying that, as Sakurakoji Saito turned back to doubt himself, Hiratsuka Shizuka secretly patted her chest, thinking how close she had come to disaster. For a fleeting moment, her heart had even raced. To be honest, his behavior just now did seem rather mature; he didn't look like a high school student at all—could this kid really be about her age?

So when he calls himself Jing Ke'ai, could it mean something like that?

!!!

Hiratsuka Shizuka covered her face with her hands, she couldn't think about it anymore, otherwise she might not be able to sleep tonight!

More than an hour later, just before the opening time of the Starry Night Market, Sakurakoji presented Hiratsuka Shizuka with a cup of dessert she had just made.

"Teacher Jingke, come on, have some dessert. Consider it an apology for my behavior just now."

"You know you're guilty?" Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had finally calmed down, looked at him irritably and snatched the disposable cutlery from his hand.

"It's good that you know you were wrong. From now on, you're not allowed to call me Teacher Jing anymore, do you hear me!"

She put a spoonful of the warm pastry into her mouth and instantly showed a happy expression. This guy, although he's a bit annoying, his cooking skills are really undeniable. If only he could cook for her every day—though that's impossible.

"I see."

"?" Hiratsuka Shizuka, with a spoon in her mouth, blinked her innocent big eyes, her gaze filled with surprise. She hadn't expected him to be so obedient this time.

"From now on, I won't call you 'Quiet Girl' in front of everyone anymore. I'll just call you 'Quiet Teacher' directly," Sakura Koji whispered, bringing his beautifully shaped head close to her ear.

"Oh, it's good that you know." Hiratsuka Shizuka shifted her body slightly, feeling a tickle near her ear, and at the same time, she felt a strange sense of loss.

She wasn't really bothered by the nickname "Jing Ke'ai" (meaning "cute and adorable"), as long as it wasn't used in front of others, which would be a bit too embarrassing.

"From now on, when we're alone in private, I'll call you Jing'er again." After saying that, without waiting for her to react, Sakura Koji walked straight back without looking back.

"..."

After a moment of mental blankness, Hiratsuka Shizuka finally realized what he had said. Her fair and delicate face flushed uncontrollably, almost obscuring her original color.

"!!!"

What exactly does this guy mean?!

She mechanically continued to put the food into her mouth, but found it tasteless. Damn it!

I'm afraid I really won't be able to sleep tonight.

"Thank you for your hard work." XN

Stepping out from under the stars, Sakurakoji finally took out his phone, preparing to ask a girl out the next day.

Just now, a plan that even he himself found somewhat cruel and evil popped into his mind. He needed to contact the other party and obtain the key to unlock it.

In the evening, after being teased by him, Hiratsuka Shizuka's face turned red and then pale. She sat there for a long time without saying a word, which made Iji Tomoka mistakenly think that she was sick and advised her to go back and rest.

As it turned out, she listened to advice and, without saying goodbye to Sakurakoji Sai, dragged her tired body back to Chiba with her back bent.

I wonder if, when we meet again, she will have regained her strength and will punish him with an iron fist.

He was searching for the name he was looking for among the many accounts he had recently added, and even he had to admit that he was just too busy.

How can the main character be so busy? Can't we let him take a day off?

He shuttles between different women every day, not for fleeting pleasure, but to constantly cater to their emotions and increase their affection for him. Is there anyone more miserable than him?

However, he dared not stop. He could only say that in the face of extreme pain, let alone happiness, he would be willing to jump off a three-story building if it could speed up or alleviate this long-standing suffering.

Upon seeing the name on the screen, Sakurakoji opened the chat box and sent a greeting.

Most people would probably be getting ready for bed by now, but he knew that the night owl across from him was probably just starting his nightlife.

"Senior Shiwa, are you there?"

He didn't put his phone away, but stood by the roadside and waited for a while. As he expected, his phone vibrated a dozen seconds later.

"Is this Caihua-jun? Yes, I'm here. What's up?"

"Speaking of which, this is the first time you've messaged me."

"Happy.jpg"

My phone vibrated three times in a row, bringing three messages.

Upon seeing her message, Sakura Koji thought for a moment that he hadn't contacted her in a long time. But thinking about it carefully, it had only been a week since they first met, but a lot had happened in between, including a trip to Kawasaki.

"Yes, there is something, but it's not easy to talk about it on the phone."

Are you free tomorrow? I'd like to discuss this with you face-to-face.

He typed his thoughts into text and sent them over.

Xia: "Hey~ you want to go on a date with me? Not bad, Caihua-jun, your speed and courage are commendable."

Sakura: "You could say that. So, Utaha-senpai, do you have some time?"

Xia: "Okay, tomorrow is Sunday, and it's spring break too. When would you like to meet?"

Sakura: "How about tomorrow at noon? We can chat while we eat."

Xia: "Looks like it's something important. I understand, I'll be there on time."

Sakura: "...Don't stay up all night tonight, okay?"

Xia: "No way!"

Xia: "Probably."

Probably...

Sakurakoji Sai twitched the corners of her mouth, somewhat doubting her willpower. After praying she wouldn't be late, she put away her phone and headed home.

……

On the other end of the phone, Kasumigaoka Utaha stared at the screen where no new messages were coming in, and tossed her phone aside.

She lay flat on the soft bed, her long, straight black hair spread out beneath her, her voluptuous and sexy body curves somewhat softened by gravity. She rested her fair arms on her smooth forehead, her fiery eyes filled with contemplation.

Although she had taken the opportunity to allow the other party to call her by her name last time, she thought about it carefully afterwards and realized that they had only met once. Was it a bit too hasty?

It's not easy to take back that statement now, since the two of them are in the same industry and will inevitably have to deal with each other again in the future.

She hadn't received any messages from him for a week, and she thought he was just being polite and had actually forgotten about her, since he was a rising star with great popularity... She never expected him to contact her again.

She was genuinely startled when he suddenly contacted her.

But what exactly are his plans? It doesn't seem like he simply wants to ask her out on a date.

The thought of his elfin-like appearance from a comic book filled her with mixed feelings. Putting the two of them together, most people would probably think the opposite of what he thought, rather than that he might have ulterior motives towards her.

"Woooooo~"

She picked up a white pillow from the side and buried her face in it.

"Damn it! Why is it necessary for a guy like you to be so handsome! Damn it, damn it!"

"And you're a popular high school writer just like me? Don't you understand we have the same persona?!"

"Not only are you younger, stronger, and better looking than me, but you also have painting skills. You were specifically sent to target me, weren't you?!"

In her anger, she used her soft, pink fists to vent her emotions on the pillow.

After venting her anger, she began to worry about something else:

"What clothes should I wear tomorrow?"

"But he said they're his fans, right? And loyal fans who've been following since the first volume, so this should count as a fan meeting? Then it's okay if they don't dress too formally, right?"

"But this is my first private meeting with him. It wouldn't be good if I were too casual, as he might think that I, as a senior writer, am difficult to get along with."

"Ugh! Oh no! This is a hassle!"

"..."

……
