running boy

"This classmate," Oi Chuanche stabilized the beating forehead, stopped a passing student with a smile, tried to maintain politeness, and asked, "Do you know where Teacher Tsukishima is?"

(This guy, let me come back to her on Monday, but where is she?)

(Where are people??!!)

(Couldn't it be that he didn't come at all?)

(Hehe... think you can escape like this?)

(Simply childish!)

(If you don't come out again... I'm going to call Niu Ruo directly?!)

The student who was stopped looked suspiciously at Oikawa's foreign school uniform, and replied, "Teacher Tsukishima has resigned."

A smile that seemed to be unstoppable at any moment froze on Oikawa's face.

"Resign?" He asked loudly in disbelief.

Resigned to hide from me?A ridiculous idea came to mind.

This is of course impossible.

"I'm sorry...thank you." Realizing that he lost his composure, Oikawa lowered the arm that was blocking the person, and dryly thanked the student who was just passing by.

He turned around and looked at the empty health room behind him, feeling a little dazed.

Seeing his confused look, the student kindly added, "Ms. Yuedao left very quickly—the school didn't find a replacement teacher, so she left in a hurry."

This is, really escaped?

Oikawa only felt more at a loss.

However, it is useless to just avoid him. The person she is hiding, the person she really wants to avoid is Xiao Niu Ruo?

So... If you really want to hide...

A more absurd idea popped up.

Oikawa, who was still clamoring in his heart to call Ushishima to "inform" him, suddenly thought that maybe he really should contact Ushishima.

……

Oikawa did not make this call in the end.

One, two people are not that familiar.Second, he is a little guilty.

But after a while, he still got the news he wanted to know-Ushido broke up with his legendary girlfriend.

(I didn't think so...)

(Just trying to scare her, that's all... originally.)

Oikawa sighed, not knowing how many times he stood in front of the health room of this foreign school.

He feels responsible.

If he is the only one who knows Yue Dao's true identity, then he is the only one who can follow this clue to find her.

If he was the one who scared people away, then he should get them back.

Opening the door, a figure in a white coat sat with his back facing him.

For a moment, he thought Tsukishima was sitting there and turned around.

"Student, do you have something to do?"

A male teacher wearing glasses sat where Yuedao used to be, looked back at the inexplicably excited foreign school student in front of him, and asked in confusion.

……

"Ms. Tsukishima," the male teacher nodded, "I was the teacher in the health room before, right, I've heard of it."

Oikawa raised a glimmer of hope, "Then, do you know where she went?"

"I don't know," the male teacher added after a pause, "To be exact, no one in the school knows. She left in a hurry. I heard that the school was also in a difficult situation. She didn't tell anyone before she resigned. The teacher who had a good relationship with her didn't know about it at all. I heard that after she left, she even changed her mobile phone number."

Oikawa was suddenly depressed.He knew why Yue Dao left in such a hurry and with such determination.

The male teacher looked at the boy who suddenly became depressed, and said pointedly, "But everyone said that she left in such a hurry and didn't leave any contact information with anyone to avoid trouble."

Oikawa didn't bother to defend himself, thanked him hastily and left.

(Yeah, I'm the trouble.)

He leaned against the railing of the footbridge, watching the passing cars below him.

The endless guilt, the futile efforts, and the feeling of having nowhere to start made him feel a little angry.

(Why did that guy run away!)

Oi Chuanche is not a saint with perfect conduct. To be exact, he has many minor problems, such as frivolity, narrow-mindedness, bad temper, and sometimes doing bad things on purpose. He never thinks these are problems... But this time, he felt like Made a mistake.

It felt heavy, which he didn't like.

How absurd, to accidentally change the course of a stranger's life, without even intending to.

Yes, Tsukishima Kaoru is just a stranger to him.The two of them have only met twice, and it is not sure if there are ten sentences they have spoken.

(You guy, do you ever regret stopping me?)

(I also have a little bit, just a little bit... I regret why I didn't walk a little later and a little earlier...)

This encounter is worse than missed.

……

That was when Qingcheng had just won a match.

She suddenly appeared from around the corner and stopped Oikawa Toru who was leaving the scene in high spirits.

Oikawa was not very surprised, "Probably a fan", so he put on his trademark smiling expression.

The other party was actually kind of cute. He probably had a moment of complacency, so he became even more annoyed later.

Because this cute little "fan" is unceremoniously asking questions.

Moreover, it seems that he is obviously a fan of Niu Ruo.

Moreover, her calm, self-righteous look made Oikawa inexplicably familiar.

"This guy——" Iwaizumi stood side by side with him and looked at the back of the figure who was leaving proudly, "Is it a bit like——"

Oikawa gritted his teeth, thinking that he was so stupid for thinking about this "little fan" who was cute just now.

"Well, it's like a female version of Xiao Niu Ruo! 』

Just as self-righteous as Niu Ruo, just as annoying! ! !

……

That's right, there was discord from the moment we met.

If you are smart, you should avoid any interaction with her, you should not be curious, you should not explore.

Then the stranger would be a small episode, forgotten over time, without bitterness.

It should be so.

……

When hanging up Niu Ruo's sudden "love consultation" call, Oikawa, who was still a little dizzy, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and called back.

"Hello? 』Niu Ruo's voice sounded slightly puzzled.

"Xiao Niuruo... what's the name of the girl you just mentioned?" 』

In fact, the question was a bit abrupt, but Niu Ruo didn't think too much about it.

"Tsukishima Kaoru. ’ He answered directly, frankly, ‘what’s the matter? 』

(Ah, I'm so stupid, even if I know the name, I can't tell if it's that guy, right?)

(Then how should I ask? 'Is it black and straight, kind of cute?' - no way!)

"Maverick Ruo~ Guess what—?goodbye! 』

"..."

After successfully stalking "Xiao Niu Ruo", Oikawa hung up the phone with some pride.

Although he was not sure, but intuitively, he felt that it should be that guy.

But I probably didn't have a chance to confirm it myself.

Yes, at that time he felt that he would never have the chance to see this guy again.

So when he heard the name again after a long time, he was even confused for a moment...

……

"Hey, scratches, Oikawa-senpai, do you want to go to the health room?" 』

"Ah, senior, let me accompany you!" 』The first-year Chunxue next to him was inexplicably excited.

"Nishiko, you still want to compete——Senior Oikawa, let me accompany you. 』

Oi Chuanche looked inexplicably at the two enthusiastic juniors of Chunxue—it was just a small scratch.

"You two—" The third grade captain walked over helplessly, and explained with a smile on his face, "The health room teacher is very popular among boys. 』

"Ah~ Xiao Xun is so cute. 』The first grader named Xi Guang interjected with a nympho look on his face.

"It's Tsukishima-sensei. 』The captain patted Xi Guang on the head and corrected him.

Tsukishima... Kaoru...

(The name sounds familiar.)

(Ah, by the way, that annoying guy, that guy who seems to be Niu Ruo's girlfriend.)

(What did they just say? Teacher?)

(Could it be such a coincidence?)

"Please tell me how to get to the health room, I want to see it myself. ’ Oikawa couldn’t help but say it.

He was a little curious.

(Wow, if Maverick is actually dating the teacher, what can he do...)

(But with his personality... he wouldn't know it? Haha.)

(Wait, wait, not necessarily, it might be the same name...)

He figured it out on the way to the infirmary.If Tsukishima Kaoru is really a high school teacher, then Niu Ruo must not know about it.

He was pushed to the door of the health room by a curious inquiring heart.

Looking back now, he couldn't remember whether he had expectations in his heart at that time?Or have you ever felt uneasy about uncovering a secret that shouldn't be revealed?

He couldn't remember when he said "Tsukishima~teacher" with a smile, and when he was waiting for the female teacher to turn around, was he excitedly waiting to see a panicked person?Or is there such a moment of hesitation, maybe a stranger who turns around is the best result?

But he felt that he had no real desire to threaten her or tell anyone else her secret.

(But really never thought that Niu Ruo should know?)

Maybe he had thought about it, but at this moment he was willing to believe that at most, at most, he just wanted to scare her and play a prank.

(Out of breath, that's all.)

Oikawa did not know how many times he was eagerly defending himself in his heart.

……

The female teacher named Tsukishima Kaoru turned around—but she didn't panic.

It was Niu Ruo's fan who once stopped him.

His face was calm and calm, just like the annoying and annoying one when we first met.

(That's why I couldn't help but make a small threat.)

(However, I really never thought about telling Niu Ruo or anyone.)

(I really didn't think about it...)

……

"When do you have time, can you come here again? 』Calmly put away the cotton balls and bandages, Tsukishima Kaoru had a peaceful attitude as if he was facing an ordinary student.

"ah?What? 』Oikawa, who had no pleasure in revenge, was annoyed by the other party's calmness.

"I have something I want to talk to you about. 』

When he heard this sentence, Oikawa finally felt a little proud - this guy still has to bow his head to himself, right?

"You want to talk to me, right?Why do you want me to come here? 』

"You will understand when you come." 』

……

So here he comes.

But she had already fled altogether, so she was not threatened anymore, and she didn't care if she told Niu Ruo.

(It's not that you can never get revenge on her.)

The street lights gradually light up from far to near.Oi Chuanche lay prone on the railing listlessly.

(But this guy gave up his job, his relationship—is this considered a successful revenge?)

(I guess...)

(It's better to say it's quite tragic...)

But—this is not what he wants at all.

Not happy at all.

The sky is getting dark, the street lights are not on yet, everything in front of my eyes seems to be covered with dust, and the boundaries are blurred.Oikawa took a deep breath of the cool evening air and closed his eyes.

If, if time could be turned back...

He wished he hadn't gone to that health room...

He wished he hadn't called Niu Ruo back...

He wishes...

On that day, Oi Chuanche walked out of the venue silently, and just passed by Tsukishima Kaoru at the corner.
