Hiratsuka Shizuka was formerly the homeroom teacher of Yukinoshita Yukino’s older sister, Yukinoshita Yuno, and the two of them have a great private relationship.
So, before Yukinoshita Yukino went to school, Yukinoshita Yuno introduced the two of them.
However, Yukinoshita Yukino’s impression in Hiratsuka Shizuka’s mind was that she was not good at interpersonal communication, and she dared to speak directly to people around her, and corrected them when they were wrong. She seemed a bit sarcastic, but she always spoke the truth, and her appearance was cold and strict.
Of course, this was also related to her past. Because Yukinoshita Yukino had excellent grades from a young age, as well as other aspects, plus her beautiful appearance that was different from ordinary people, she was envied by her classmates and isolated from a young age. She also had few friends because of her personality.
But she never expected that Yukinoshita Yukino, who was so cold in Hiratsuka Shizuka’s eyes, would open up her heart and smile in front of a boy. She was very surprised.
She recognized the boy in front of her. His name was Zhao Hao, and he was a popular figure in the school. But when did they meet?
Yukinoshita Yukino had only been back in the country for a month. She had been abroad for several years. Did they know each other from elementary school or junior high? Were they classmates abroad?
Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense.
“You’re Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka, right? Nice to meet you.”
“Yes, kid. Your fame is quite big in school. I’ve already taken care of the club for you and Yukino. I’ll also promote it for you. I’ll be leaving now. Bye!”
Hiratsuka Shizuka came mainly to say that she had taken care of the club that Yukinoshita Yukino asked her to create. After that, she didn’t stay long and left.
After Hiratsuka Shizuka left, Zhao Hao also said, “I’ll go too.”
Yukinoshita Yukino immediately said, “Wait, the club activities just started. Why are you leaving?”
Zhao Hao waved his hand and said, “What kind of activity? It’s just been established. No one will come for a month. Staying here is just staring blankly. It’s better to go home. Are you going back?”
Yukinoshita Yukino puffed out her cheeks and turned her head. “I’m not going back. As the president, even if the club is just starting, I have to stay here.”
“Alright, then good luck.”
After encouraging her, Zhao Hao left the clubroom.
“He didn’t even say he would stay and keep me company. What a stubborn fool.”
Seeing Zhao Hao really leave, Yukinoshita Yukino was speechless. It was a chance for her to be alone with a beautiful girl like her, something many people would envy. But in Zhao Hao’s eyes, it was no different from being with an ordinary person. This made her both happy and helpless.
“Since no one is coming, I’ll just read here. It’s rare to have a quiet place.”
Yukinoshita Yukino didn’t like noisy clubs. Now, she was the only one in the entire classroom. It was a good time to read.
Zhao Hao walked out of the school with his umbrella. When he reached the street outside the school area, he saw a familiar figure sitting on a swing, motionless.
Because she was wearing a Tokyo High School uniform, Zhao Hao was familiar with her. When he looked at her face, he realized it was Shiina Mahiru, the underclassman who had eaten lunch opposite him in the cafeteria, the one called the “angel” just two days after school started.
But seeing her without an umbrella, just sitting on the swing in the rain, with a lonely and lost expression, made people feel a little heartbroken.
Zhao Hao walked over. As he got closer, he saw that Shiina Mahiru’s uniform and black tights were a little dirty and wet, as if she had fallen.
“Shiina underclassman, are you alone here in the rain? Is there something sad that’s bothering you?”
“Huh?”
Shiina Mahiru, who was feeling sad, looked up when she heard the voice. When she saw Zhao Hao, she was a little surprised.
“Zhao Hao senpai, what are you doing here?”
She wanted to get up and greet him, but the pain in her leg made her expression a little painful.
Zhao Hao stepped forward and held the umbrella over both of them. “Did you fall and hurt your leg? Just sit down.”
Shiina Mahiru nodded and thanked him. “Thank you, senpai.”
Then Zhao Hao said, “I live on this road. I saw you alone, not using an umbrella, sitting on the swing and thinking about something, so I came to see. You must be thinking about some sad memories.”
“??”
Shiina Mahiru looked at Zhao Hao curiously. She was indeed thinking about her own experiences. She was born to a couple who had no love, just the product of a one-night stand. At home, she was unloved by her father and mother, even though she tried hard to become excellent, it was still useless. In such a family, she felt suffocated.
Although her family was very rich and she never lacked material things, Shiina Mahiru would rather be born into an ordinary family of three, just to have a loving father and mother.
That’s why she sat there and couldn’t help but show her sadness.
Faced with Shiina Mahiru’s confusion, Zhao Hao explained, “It’s written all over your face, not hard to guess.”
“Really? I didn’t even notice.”
Zhao Hao glanced at Shiina Mahiru’s right leg. “It seems you fell pretty hard. You probably won’t be able to walk for a while. I’ll take you home.”
From her tights, Zhao Hao could tell that this underclassman was quite conservative. After all, most girls don’t wear such thick tights, either bare legs, knee-high socks, or black silk.
“This…”
Shiina Mahiru looked at Zhao Hao’s clear eyes and realized that she couldn’t walk. If no one sent her, she wouldn’t know how long she’d have to sit here.
So she nodded in agreement. “Then I’ll trouble you, senpai.”
“It’s nothing.”
Having said that, Zhao Hao handed the umbrella to Shiina Mahiru and squatted down facing away from her.
“Get on. I’ll carry you.”
Shiina Mahiru’s heart beat a little faster at this moment, her face flushed slightly. “Senpai, my clothes are wet from the rain and they’re dirty. They’ll stick to your clothes.”
“Don’t worry about these little things. You have more than one uniform. If it’s dirty, just wash it.”
Since he said so, Shiina Mahiru didn’t hesitate any longer. After preparing herself mentally, she leaned forward onto Zhao Hao’s back, her right hand holding the umbrella to cover them both.
Carrying Shiina Mahiru on his back, Zhao Hao asked her home address and said he could take a taxi, he’d pay.
In Sakura Country, taxi fares were quite expensive. Ordinary people wouldn’t choose to take a taxi unless there was an emergency. But for Zhao Hao, who inherited a fortune, it was nothing.
Shiina Mahiru leaned on Zhao Hao’s back and whispered, “My house is at the right turn at the intersection ahead. There’s an apartment building, and I live there, so we don’t need a taxi.”
“Ok, I got it.”
Zhao Hao carried Shiina Mahiru and started walking. Shiina Mahiru felt the warmth of his hands on her thighs, and she was extremely shy. Just as Zhao Hao guessed, she was a very conservative girl. This was the first time she was carried by a boy. Especially because her tights were wet from the rain, she could even feel the heat coming from Zhao Hao’s hands.
