Love Comes After Learning

"Do you want me to continue teaching you after school?" Asada looked at her, her long side hair covered her side face, casting a shadow in the sun.

Sanjiu nodded lightly, her voice lacking ups and downs.

"I wanted to take advantage of the better condition today to learn more, but if you don't have time, forget it. I'll go back and review by myself."

"Well, if you have any questions, you can find me on LINE, or if you do more questions, if you encounter them at noon, I will help you solve them at once." After all, his time was used to prepare for Furuhashi Ogata's study, I really don't have time to help Sanjiu any more, and the time around noon is already a sneak in from my busy schedule.

"It's a good thing to be enthusiastic about learning, not to mention getting high grades, but if you continue to maintain it, at least you won't transfer another school because you don't want to repeat a grade." Considering Sanjiu's mood, Asada gave a few more words of encouragement, but she He responded lightly without interest.

"Ah."

After the conversation was over, Sanjiu stopped talking and quietly followed behind Asada.

The atmosphere became a little dull, and Asada frowned slightly as she looked at her bowing her head and walking slowly from the corner of her eyes.

(Is it too straightforward to refuse...)

If the words were more tactful, she should not be the same as she is now. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is in a bad mood and sighs in depression.

Obviously, she is usually a guy with a quiet expression and is difficult to see through, but only her downcast appearance is so conspicuous, as if she can see the dark atmosphere shrouded in her body, and the whole person seems to melt into the shadow.

Although he has no reason to keep Sanjiu in a good mood, if Sanjiu's confidence in learning is affected because of his relationship, as an educator, Asada really has no way to clean up the blame.

Should it be a boring sense of responsibility?Or empathy?

Anyway, after Asada thought about passing the test of shame and awkward character, he still found a reason for himself to comfort... no, to make the current Sanjiu feel better.

——The word comfort always reminds him of the male protagonist in a love story, using comfort events to gain favor with girls, usually a few words of comfort will make girls blush and heartbeat, and treat scumbags as warm men.

So no matter if it's nonchalant or soft-spoken, unless the relationship between the other party and himself is very good, otherwise Asada will not comfort the girl casually.

This is not indifference, but just to make the relationship between people more clear and to avoid behaviors in the ambiguous field.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Asada to get along with girls with a clear conscience—especially a beautiful girl like Sanjiu.

To put it simply, he just thinks too much, and only behaves without thinking when his mind is hot.

Even he himself couldn't help laughing at himself, how could there be such an awkward and contradictory innocent virgin?

When approaching the exit of the maze, Asada let out a breath, and suddenly said.

"Although it's against morality to say it, Sanjiu, I want to tell you something."

Sanjiu raised her head, and asked softly, without energy: "What's the matter?"

Asada stopped, and Sanjiu also stopped.He turned around, and the two faced each other at close range for an instant.

Asada looked down at Sanjiu.

Sanjiu didn't evade, his eyes were as clear and calm as lake water, he straightened his body and raised his head, staring back as if he wanted to kiss him, and even took a half step forward, the faint fragrance invaded the air around him.

Asada's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned her head away.

This guy is too defenseless.Being so close to a man who has no intention of falling in love, isn't he afraid that he will just lean over and kiss him?

Or, does she always look like this full of flaws to everyone?For example, for Uesugi Fuutarou...

Shaking his head in his heart, quickly putting aside these messy things, Asada pretended to be calm and authentic.

"Recently, someone will attack you."

Sanjiu's eyes widened slightly, her hands hugged her plump chest reflexively, and she frowned vigilantly.

"It's not the one who started."

Sanjiu thought for a while, and hugged her schoolbag tightly instead—her wallet was in it.

"I didn't want to steal your money... Forget it, it's my fault that I didn't make it clear." Asada sighed, "Uesugi may come to you very frequently recently in order to break your quintuplet defense, he I plan to find out from you the opportunity to carry out the tutoring activities smoothly."

"Fuutarou?" Sanjiu was puzzled when he heard this, "There is also the quintuplets defense, what is that?"

"He may think that as long as you become his side's support and take the lead in acknowledging him as the tutor of the Nakano family, he will be able to persuade others to study together. Otherwise, the five of you will be on guard against him every time. Can’t find an opportunity to do my job.”

Sanjiu understood: "It's the same as before, he chased me around just to get me to accept guidance...I've been hiding like this, and he hasn't given up yet?"

"It's different this time." Asada's expression became serious, which made Sanjiu feel a little nervous, "Have you written the test paper he gave you? He discovered your secret from it .”

"My...secret?" Sanjiu tilted her head to think, her face suddenly changed, and she grabbed Asada's cuff in a panic, "Did he find out that I like Warring States generals?!"

"No, not for the time being. He only sees that you are strong in social subjects, and you answered many questions about Japanese history correctly. You probably like Japanese history."

Just as Sanjiu breathed a sigh of relief, Asada's next sentence made her heart ache again, "But if you continue to test, your interest will definitely be discovered by him——Although that guy has a bad mouth and low EQ, he has a big brain." Very smart. As long as there is a little clue, you can't hide from him that you like Warring States generals for a long time.

What will happen next, you know? "

Facing Asada's solemn gaze, Sanjiu swallowed her saliva and shook her head stiffly.

Asada said word by word: "He will use this topic to arouse your interest, and then develop the tutoring content centered on Japanese history, tempting you to come to class!"

"W-what..." Sanjiu let go of her sleeves, took two steps back in shock, then her expression collapsed, and she said weakly, "What...that's it?"

"Although it's really not a big deal, isn't your reaction too flat?"

Even though the intention was to make her change her mood, rather than to really make her be wary of Fuutarou Uesugi, seeing Sanku's appearance of not caring at all, Asada still couldn't help asking curiously.

Sanjiu lowered her head, curled her hair with her fingers, and said slowly.

"If it was in the past, maybe I would have been a little flustered? Because I don't want others to know that I have a strange interest, especially Fuutarou, he is likely to reveal it to other sisters, or like you said Yes, use this to trouble me."

Asada looked at her: "Then now..."

"Now?"

She also silently asked herself in her heart——what about now?What has changed between the present and the past?

Nakano Sanjiu is ordinary, gloomy, featureless, and has strange interests.

Until now, these things are still the same, and she didn't think about making herself the same as Nino and the others.The quintuplets only need to have appearance.

So the change is not in yourself.

Where is that?

Then, Sanjiu noticed it.

thump--

Raising her head and staring at Asada, her heart suddenly jumped heavily, but she laughed softly.

Smile with relief, bright and soft.

(I see.)

Say this to yourself in your heart.

Now...with you.

You can listen to me talking about generals in the Warring States Period, you can teach me more knowledge, you can rush to save me when I encounter difficulties, pretend not to care but always worry about me.

In this case, why should I panic?

Because of you, I am not afraid of the things I would be afraid of, and many things become indifferent.

Because of you, it's okay to be rejected once, not today, not recently... let's talk about it later.

Anyway, my purpose is not to learn, not just to learn.

Such a simple reason, the reason you give.

I finally know.

She stepped forward, stepping vigorously on the stone slab on the ground intentionally, letting the dull sound cover up the beating heartbeat that seemed to be resounding all around.

"Right now, Fuutarou will let him do as he pleases. It's not impossible to let him teach me, anyway, it seems fun for us to study together."

The sun blew away the shadows on her face, and her soft hair swayed slightly with the wind. She looked back, her pupils reflecting the blue sky faced Asada, and then pursed her lips and smiled.

"However, when I'm confused, when I don't know what to do, can you tell me the answer?"

As if distracted by that smile, Asada forgot to blink and asked in a daze.

"Can't Uesugi?"

"Fuutarou can't, he's just 'our' tutor."

"What do you want me to answer?"

"I'm still confirming." Sanjiu turned her back, her voice soft and clear, "I'll tell you when I'm really, really sure."

"When the time comes, please give me a perfect answer..."

"Until then, I'll keep trying."

When she came to the exit of the maze, she lowered her head and looked at her toes. The shadow on the ground drew a boundary line. She was in the dark, and there was a dazzling halo in front of her.

Then, she raised her foot and took a step with a smile.

Chapter 55 Ms. Guqiao can't speak dirty words

Asada looked suspiciously at Sanjiu saying goodbye to him in a good mood, completely unaware of what kind of psychological transformation she had experienced in these short conversations.

What Sanjiu said also made him confused, what kind of answer and what kind of effort, it seemed to be talking about learning, but it felt a little meaningful.

Standing at the entrance of the maze and lost in thought, he felt like he was about to lose his mind—what are you talking about?What do you want to express?Why can't you explain clearly?

In the past, he always thought that his EQ was not bad, but now, he had to start to suspect that he was actually the male lead of a light novel (swearing).

How can a girl's mind be so difficult to understand.

It's not as good as Uesugi Fuutarou, at least you can tell what he's thinking by looking at his expression, and it doesn't take much brains to chat.

If this continues, in order to save trouble, I won't have a girlfriend in the future, so I just...

"Bah, bah, bah, almost doubting my own sexuality!" Asada patted his cheek with an ugly expression, and quickly recalled Miku's beautiful smile just now, and deleted the faces of Uesugi Fuutarou and Yui Chengxing from his memory. A little more comfortable.

——Even so, he felt it vaguely.

The unspoken words seemed to resonate through the heartbeat, and they were conveyed at an accelerated speed, whispering to him.

In those lazy and quiet eyes, there seemed to be something that had sprouted.

—She said she didn't mean that.

Asada didn't believe that his own charm was so great.

Therefore, he chose not to answer the question in his heart, and let it settle down with time.
