Love Comes After Learning

Hearing this, Asada couldn't help sighing secretly.

When did my acting become so bad?Even Sanjiu can see it...

Maybe it's because I spent a little more time in contemplation?His habit of thinking has never changed, and he always stared blankly at the information, no wonder she noticed something was wrong.

"……nothing."

Even so, he didn't intend to complain to Sanjiu.

The dispute between the educator and the chairman should not be known to the parties involved—or in other words, this is a war that belongs to the two teenagers alone.

It was also a time for him to question himself.

I am always a little confused, and I don’t tell others. Only when I find out the answer myself can I really feel at ease.

"……yes."

Sanjiu didn't say much, and there was no faint emotional response in her voice.The fingers kept moving, the movements were delicate and gentle, but there was no ambiguity, just kneading his fingers seriously as if sincerely wanting him to feel relaxed.

Asada slowly closed his eyes, and the slightly warm and greasy fingertips touched the skin, bringing a little numbness and comfort, melting the fatigue in the body one after another like an electric current.

...It turns out that girls' hands are so soft.

Small, soft, as if it would be crushed in the hand, it is pitifully delicate and beautiful.

Such a small hand wraps his palm, even if he is unskilled, even if the strength is not strong enough, that kind of heart still seeps into his body continuously with the touch of the fingertips, turning into a warm current to wrap him.

His heart was beating steadily but powerfully. Every time he felt her breath and her presence, Asada couldn't help but become unconscious, as if soaked in a warm pool, everything became hazy.

Slowly closing his eyes, he gave up resistance, forgot the present, the past, the future, and all the choices he had to make.

It's just letting go temporarily... When he wakes up, he will use the fastest speed to give himself and Uesugi Fuutarou an unquestionable answer.

"real……"

Her hands were a little sore from kneading, and Sanjiu was about to stop and ask Asada how she felt, but suddenly felt a weight on her shoulders, which made her froze all over and dared not move.

Like a machine that forgot to oil, she turned her head and looked bit by bit. The face that warms her heart every time she sees it is next to her. Her breathing is steady and small, her brows are relaxed, leaning against her slender face. shoulders, fell asleep quietly.

Sanjiu opened her eyes wide, her face turned red, and her heart couldn't help beating wildly.

Especially when the other party's lips were so close, recalling what happened that day, she couldn't help thinking about it, and a bold idea appeared in her mind.

However, after staring at his quiet and soft sleeping face for a while, Sanjiu gradually let go of those messy thoughts, the corners of her mouth slowly turned up, and her moist eyes were filled with tenderness and pity that he couldn't see.

"Thanks for your hard work..."

Lips depicting the shape of the words, she moved her fingers slightly, like a thief, carefully let the fingertips of her right hand pass through his fingers, and clasp them together.

Then he leaned his head quietly on his head, smiled slightly, and closed his eyes.

There was an incredible tranquility in her heart, as if the happiness of the whole world was obtained by her at this moment. The cherry-pink haired girl gently sniffed at the hair of the boy next to her, rubbed against it, and silently prayed.

——I hope that time can stay at this moment forever.

In this case, I must be the happiest girl in the world.

The sunset at the last moment seemed to burst out the last and most intense light, and the room was filled with golden colors, only the shadows that depended on each other became longer and longer, and a pair of index fingers could be faintly seen between the two chairs Interlocking palms.

Then, night fell.

△

After Asada woke up, he found himself lying on the table at some point, and Sanjiu, who was sitting next to him, had just cleaned up all the teacups and the like, closed the cupboard, and turned his head when he heard him getting up road.

"Just woke up, the school gate is about to close, Shinichi."

Asada blinked blankly, her brain began to work, as if recalling something, her old face suddenly flushed.

"I just... fell asleep?"

"Yes." Sanjiu replied briefly, with a flat expression.

Asada still wanted to say something, but seeing her nonchalant appearance, she was really embarrassed to ask if she fell asleep on her shoulder just now; she could only pretend that nothing happened, gave a fake cough, and stood up.

"Let's go now, where's your driver?"

"Mr. Jiang Rui is Dad's driver, and he doesn't usually drive us."

"Then I'll take you back. Did you call May and the others to report that you're safe?"

"Yes." Although he said he wanted to go to the library to find a book to read, he also planned to wait until he took a taxi back home.

But now...

"Then please."

With a small smile on her lips, she followed behind Asada and left the meeting room.

Quietly turned on the phone with a guilty conscience, unlocked it, and the wallpaper was no longer the Takeda Ryo who put it on because he likes generals.

It was a pair of tightly clasped palms under the setting sun. In the strong light and shadow, there seemed to be an eternal and unchanging beautiful scenery, which made the cold electronic light a little warmer.

She lowered her head, narrowed her eyes, and smiled with a flushed face.

[Today's victory and defeat——

Miku, who felt that she was one step closer to "winning", couldn't tell anyone...

victory.

Chapter 130 Six is ​​persecuting me again in May and a half

At night, Asada called his secretary.

"May, are you busy?"

First there was a suspicious rustling sound, and then Wuyue's slightly flustered voice sounded.

"Ah, no, I'm not busy, I'm studying by myself. What's the matter?"

Asada listened carefully, it was like the sound of a bag being thrown into a trash can, but it was not very clear.

He put aside the question for the time being and continued talking.

"You are the most serious about your studies among the five, so I want to ask you, have you encountered any difficulties in your studies recently?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Wuyue spoke softly.

"No……"

"Don't lie."

Showing the momentum of the chairman, Asada cut off her words forcefully, and then softened her tone a little.

"This is an investigation for the normal operation of the committee. Please tell me honestly... Is the matter in the forest school conflicting with the schoolwork?"

"...Have nothing to say to us, so he came to you?" Wu Yue's attitude was a little indifferent, but Asada knew that this faint anger was not aimed at him, but Uesugi Fuutarou, "You don't have to If you care about him, we will take care of this matter by ourselves..."

"If it can be done, you won't be transferred here, right?"

Asada spoke softly, Wuyue fell silent again, and the two experienced a few seconds of silence.

Then, Asada suddenly asked

"If you do poorly in the midterm exam this time, and your family will blame you for it, would you want to put aside the affairs of the forest school for a while?

"It's not to give up completely, but to focus on studying first, and continue after the exam... If I rearrange your schedule in this way, is it acceptable?"

"..."

As if contemplating the true meaning of his words, Wuyue was quiet for a longer time this time, and then, the earnest and unwavering clear voice entered Asada's ears.

"Can not accept!"

Asada was taken aback: "...why?"

"In this case, in order to meet the deadline, don't you have to take on more work?" Her voice was dignified, her words were clear and powerful, with pure and straightforward emotions, like a sassy but gentle wind passing over her temples .

"As your assistant, I really can't sit back and watch this kind of thing happen. So sorry, I can't accept this kind of schedule!"

"..." This time, Asada fell silent like a fool, and for a moment, a low laugh came out, "...haha, it's the first time I heard you didn't say honorifics, Wuyue."

"Is the point over there?!" After Wu Yue reflexively complained, her cheeks turned slightly red with shame on her face.

"It's nothing. As a secretary, sometimes you have to use harsh words to wake up the dizzy boss. You are very competent."

"Really, really?" Wu Yue's voice sounded a little happy, and then he heard the sound of flipping the notebook, "I didn't say this sentence in the book, so I have to remember it..."

"...So, have you decided to give up this midterm exam?" Ignoring her slightly speechless behavior, Asada continued to ask.

Wu Yue answered without hesitation: "Of course not! It is the duty of students to do their best every time they take an exam. Poor grades are by no means a reason to avoid studying!"

She paused suddenly, as if feeling guilty, she was a little less confident.

"Even if I don't let that tutor teach me, I will study hard by myself... Yes, I am studying by myself right now! So, this is definitely not an escape..."

Hearing her murmur as if seeking approval, Asada couldn't help but chuckled, his voice became gentle even he couldn't detect it.

"I know, May, I know your seriousness and hard work. This is definitely not an escape, but a correct action to defend your self-esteem... If you don't have confidence in yourself, I can assure you."

This is what he said in his heart. During this period of time, not only May has been observing him, but he has also been observing May.

Except for the meal time, Wuyue spent almost all of her free time between classes dealing with official business or preparing for studies, and Asada had never seen her play games or go out to play.

Even Sanjiu played Warring States Warriors from time to time to relieve stress, and Er Nai even went out to sing karaoke and go shopping with the ladies in the name of official exchanges.

Not to mention Yihua and Yotsuba, one wants to act and catch up on sleep when he is free; the other wants to help others everywhere, and also has club activities to take care of.

Only in May, I always focus on my studies and official duties, and rarely slack off.

Except for meal times.

That's why he could tell her so frankly.

"I accept your opinion, but don't be too pushy, give yourself more time to rest, and tell me if you encounter any difficulties - the secretary has an obligation to rely on the boss, please write this sentence down."

"Eh? Yes, yes, I see..."

Wu Yue was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up the pen, feeling her face warmed up and her heartbeat inexplicably quickened, she began to write down words in the notebook.

(This is both a compliment and a comfort. What happened to Asada-kun... I always feel weird and something is wrong.)

She was puzzled in her heart, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

(And I don't always hide my kindness like before... because I am an assistant, so I opened up?)

Wu Yue turned the notebook forward, tapped the pen tip on the sentence "Asada-kun is awkward, not good at expressing kindness", and hesitated whether to cross it out.
