Love Comes After Learning

Ogata even stretched out his hand to touch his forehead: "Is the fever getting worse again?"

Asada took her hand away angrily: "How inhumane do you think I am? I'm not the boss of a sweatshop."

"But you are the Asada-kun who will force yourself to teach us!"

"Asada-san is the one who treats me the most inhumane."

"No, I think it's okay..." The two of them looked questioning about what nonsense you're talking about, causing Asada to retreat instantly and look away, "Okay, okay, I'm forcing myself a bit, can I admit it? So do you want to take a break tomorrow? It doesn’t matter if you don’t, I’m happy to give you a study course of more than eight hours!”

The two trembled when they heard this, and quickly shook their heads.

"Then...can I not study at home tomorrow?"

"You can do whatever you want, it's okay to go crazy for a day." Asada spread her hands, but looked at them seriously, "It's just that you have to adjust your state back on Monday, if what you said before is caught by you We played until we forgot..."

He narrowed his eyes, and a cold stern light flashed in his pupils.

"Teacher, I will whip you all hard?"

Ogata immediately raised his hands in salute, his eyes widened, and his face was serious: "I promise to complete the task!"

"Very well, then disband on the spot, and I won't send you off."

Furuhashi and Ogata looked at each other, they smiled at the same time, bowed their heads towards Asada and said in unison.

"Thank you, teacher--"

"Thank you, Teacher Chameleon—"

"You're welcome..." Asada nodded in satisfaction, then frowned, "Huh? Chameleon?!"

The two put on their shoes in front of the entrance, Masao Asada and Kazumi Asada helped them open the door, and by the way, they scolded Shinichi Asada who was still upstairs by the door.

"This kid, he didn't send the girl home, how ignorant is he?"

"Even if you have a cold and a fever, you can't even go downstairs to see someone off. This character is too shabby... Deserves to be single for the rest of my life."

Guqiao replied with a wry smile: "Uncle and aunt, we didn't let him give it away. It will be bad when the cold gets worse."

Ogata also nodded: "It's not completely dark yet, and there are many people on the road nearby. It's the right choice for Asada-san not to see us off."

After hearing this, Asada's mother wiped the corners of her eyes fiercely, and said with tears in her eyes: "What a good child! It would be great if I could find a daughter-in-law..."

The two looked away, pretending they didn't hear it.

After sending them to the door and saying goodbye to each other, Mama Asada suddenly stopped them.

"Fumino-chan, Lizhu-chan, although my son has good grades and likes to study, he is actually... a super stupid who doesn't understand anything."

Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata looked back in surprise, only to see Kazumi Asada smiling lightly, no longer that sense of indecency and joy.

"Yeah, he's just a brat who thinks he's mature, likes to force himself, has strong self-esteem but is awkward, is as thin as a girl, but stronger than an average boy, reassuring and uneasy.

The middle-aged man next to her continued, with a sigh or a proud smile on his face.

"He like this, if no one is watching, sooner or later he will destroy himself for the so-called "learning"?"

Asada Kazumi looked upstairs.

"We are his parents, but because we are parents, we have no right to deny what the child wants to insist on. His beliefs should not be suppressed and controlled by us."

Asada Masao shrugged and smiled.

"And you are the first friend he brought home. He trusts you, and we trust you. So even though this request is very abrupt, we want to tell you."

Under the setting sun, the warm light reflected the faint wrinkles at the corners of their eyes. The sincerity and softness in the eyes seemed to grow longer and longer with the shadows in the falling sunset.

They lowered their expressions and looked straight at the girls in front of them.

"If one day, he is so oppressed by the so-called study that he can't breathe, and we are not by his side...can I ask you to teach that child a good lesson?"

"We're really worried about him...so, please."

Under the astonished eyes of the girls, the middle-aged couple slowly bent down and bowed to them.

Seriously, but willingly

Chapter 45 How can it be love at first sight

Rewind time a little, Friday night, Nakano's house.

Taking Yotsuba, who came home late, to go home for dinner together, after the meal, the five sisters went back to their rooms to do their own things.

Yihua sneakily pulled Sanjiu into her room. Although Sanjiu looked reluctant, she still couldn't resist this tough elder sister.

After closing the door, Yihua kicked away all the messy clothes and sundries on the floor, and barely cleared the place, then took out the cushion from the bottom of the bed and asked Sanjiu to sit down.

"...One flower, can't you keep the room tidy?"

Sanjiu pursed her mouth, and sat on the cushion with a little resistance, as if there were dust or insects on it, and she sat very unsteadily.

"Let's leave the preaching to Wu Yuejiang, the point now is not this..." Yihua narrowed her smile, stared at Sanjiu's expression with eyes that seemed to be able to read people's hearts, and said straight to the point, "Hey, the boy you dated in the garden , is it 'Asada-senpai' who brought you out of the maze earlier?"

"So, it's not a date." Sanjiu responded to her question with a blank face, and there was no panic in her quiet blue eyes, "And it's not a senior. Really... Asada is in the same grade as us. So I met him in the garden because..."

Sanjiu hesitated for a moment, but still didn't intend to tell Yihua that she ran into the garden to hide from Fuutarou Uesugi, and finally had to ask Asada to save her.

Although it's nothing to say, Yihua will not blame Uesugi Fuutarou for this, after all, he is the tutor assigned by his father to them, and it is Sanjiu's own fault when he faints... But she just doesn't want to tell this secret.

Not only what happened at that time, but also the agreement between the two in the garden, the location of the cherry blossom pavilion, the content of the conversation with Asada Shinichi... I don't know why, but now she doesn't want to share any of these things with others.

Even if the other party is the quintuplet sister who is closest to her in the world, she doesn't want to.

Obviously it didn't matter at first, why did it suddenly...

Touching her chest with one hand, feeling the strange feeling lingering in her heart, Sanjiu said calmly.

"... I left something in the maze, so I asked him to go get it with me for a can of matcha soda, that's all."

"Eh? You invited him to drink that very strange drink?" Yihua covered her mouth in disbelief.

"...I'm going back to my room first." Sanjiu got up straight away, and Yihua hurriedly grabbed the corner of her clothes to make amends.

"Wait, wait! I still have something to know, at worst, I'll buy you a can of that drink later, okay?"

"..." Sanjiu was silent for a moment, and finally sighed lightly: "If you want to ask, hurry up, there is nothing bad to let people know anyway."

Actually there are a bunch.But she had decided to lie and make it up the whole time.

I was still a little guilty at first, but seeing Yihua's smiling face, the guilt of deceiving my sisters suddenly flew to the sky.

What's more, this guy actually said bad things about matcha soda...

So in the face of Yihua's question, Sanjiu ran to the train without any burden.

"Is his name Shinichi Asada? How is he?"

"Awkward, calculating, not good at dealing with girls."

"Huh? Isn't that Fuutarou-kun?"

"But it's dependable, and not a bad nature."

"Ah, that's not it. Do you usually chat?"

"So far, we've only chatted [-] words on LINE. It's business. We don't usually see each other."

"Does he have a girlfriend?"

"How do I know...Yihua, are you investigating a blind date?" Sanjiu became alert, squinting at Yihua.

"Ahaha, it's rare to see you getting so close to a boy, a sister will be worried~" Yihua pretended to be hearty with a smile, seeing that Sanjiu really didn't have any shyness or guilty conscience, she couldn't help but start to doubt her own guess.

"Well...it seems that you really don't have any special relationship with him."

"That's how it was. We met only twice in less than a week, how could there be such a development." Sanjiu frowned, looking very incomprehensible, "It's you, why do you think I like Asada-san? When did you see me and Asada-san meeting in the garden?"

"Well... when I was looking for a quiet place for a walk during my lunch break, I happened to pass by and saw it." Yihua spread her hands and said calmly, "I was really shocked at the time, I didn't expect that the three who are usually not interested in the opposite sex Nine will walk with the boys at that date spot."

Sanjiu pursed her mouth: "What does it mean not to be interested in the opposite sex? Anyway, I am also a normal girl..."

"And the chatting and parting looks so happy, there's nothing I can do if I misunderstand, sorry~"

Sanjiu's expression froze for a moment, and a blush suddenly rose on her face.

"Am I... happy?"

"Yeah, it's rare to see Sanjiu who smiles so happily..." Yihua sighed, but didn't notice anything strange about her, "I was thinking at that time, I just came to this school not long ago, Sanjiu I found someone I like, is it a romantic plot like love at first sight..."

"One, love at first sight..." Panic flashed across slightly widened eyes, Sanjiu unconsciously pinched her sleeves, the blush on her cheeks deepened.

"...It turned out that I made a mistake. It's really a pity." Yihua shook his head, looked at Sanjiu again with a smile, and suddenly became surprised, "What's wrong with you?"

At some point, Sanjiu had already turned her back to her.With his head lowered slightly, his voice was calm and authentic.

"It's nothing. There is no love at first sight in this world, right? It's not a novel or a comic."

"Uh... It's okay for you to think so, but..." Yihua stared at her back strangely, and was about to ask, but at this moment she stood up and walked slowly towards the door.

"Are you finished with the question? I'm going back to school. Ichika is the same. If you don't want to improve your grades, Fuutarou will keep pestering us?"

"Eh? Although what you said is correct, why suddenly..." Yihua's face was full of bewilderment, isn't Sanjiu the kind of person who would take the initiative to study?And why mention the governess who messed into their lives?

Sanjiu didn't have any intention of answering her doubts, she opened Yihua's door, her legs wrapped in black silk stomped back to her room, as if she was running away in a hurry.

Only Yihua was left on the cushion looking at the door in a foggy manner, with his head slightly tilted and his brows furrowed.

"This kind of reaction... Is she telling the truth or lying?"

△

Back in her room, Sanjiu touched her cheek, feeling a little abnormal heat coming from it, and her heartbeat became much faster.

"It's all Yihua's fault, she said something strange..."

Closing the door with a slightly scattered footsteps, she threw herself on the bed, her soft hair scattered on the bed, and the coldness of the bed also cooled her mind a little.

She closed her eyes, put her hands on the earphones around her neck unconsciously, and felt the familiar mechanical texture carefully, calming down her heart slowly.

After a while, she finally returned to her usual state. Sanjiu opened her eyes, looked at the ceiling lazily and calmly, and finally moved to a painting hanging on the wall.

It was obviously just a rough sketch, but it was framed in an exquisite photo frame, and the surrounding was spotless. Obviously, the owner cherished it very preciously.

Even though that painting is not considered a masterpiece, it fully reveals the softness of a girl's smile, as if one can see that there is really a girl happily talking about something in the stone pavilion with fluttering cherry blossoms.
