Luo Lin sighed, nodded to Qin Xiang, then raised his hand and waved, tentatively expressing his farewell.

The traffic light ahead turned from red to green, and he accelerated steadily, leaving Qin Xiang far behind.

Nothing notable happened along the way, and Rollin arrived at Abydos High School on time.

When he walked into the meeting room of the Countermeasures Committee, other than Celery, several other girls were already waiting for him.

"good morning teacher."

Nomiya and Ayane greeted Luo Lin with a smile, and Hoshino, who was lazily lying on the table early in the morning, also rubbed his eyes in a half-dream and half-awake, opened his mouth and let out a big yawn.

"Wooha~ It's very early, teacher~"

Bai Zi walked up to Luo Lin silently, grabbed his cuffs, his wolf ears fluttered from time to time, and an inexplicable gleam appeared in his pupils.

"Well, good morning everyone."

Luo Lin shook his arms as if it was a response to Bai Zi, and at the same time greeted the other girls with a smile.

"Well, teacher, Xiao Qinxiang didn't come today."

Nomiya raised his hand high, and said as if answering a question in class, "She used to go out every week during the free school day, so she didn't mean to target the teacher."

"It's okay, I know."

Luo Lin nodded to Nomiya, "I met Qin Xiang when I came here. After all, she has such a high debt. It's normal for her to go out to work with such a strong character."

This seemingly unproblematic utterance made all the girls in the conference room stunned for a moment.

"Hey...so you went to work?"

Seeing their reactions, Luo Lin also wondered, "You don't know? Didn't Qin Xiang tell you?"

"No, the usual work to repay the debt is done by everyone..."

Ayane pursed her lips and explained to Luo Lin, "Qinxiang acted alone, probably because she wanted to pay off the debt as soon as possible, and she didn't want us to worry."

"Well, it looks like something that Celery can do."

Bai Zi also nodded calmly beside him, raised his head and looked at Luo Lin.

"Does the teacher know where she works part-time?"

"She didn't say it."

When this question was mentioned, Luo Lin smiled wryly, "Don't ask her where she is working. When we came to school, we had a short journey. It seemed that I was following her."

"Well~ Uncle, I don't think the teacher is the one who can do such a thing. It's better to say that if the teacher really wants to do it, it will be very difficult for us to find out, after all, he will be invisible."

Hoshino yawned again, half-supported himself from the table, propped his cheeks with his small palms, and pressed his soft face into a funny shape.

"I can probably guess where Qin Xiangjiang works part-time. After I help the teacher arrange a place to live, let's go to the shop where she works for lunch. The ramen is delicious~"

"It turned out to be that store."

As soon as Hoshino spoke, Ayane and Nomiya immediately had an expression of enlightenment on their faces.

Luo Lin looked left and right, and shrugged indifferently.

"I'm fine, just listen to you."

"Then it's decided~"

Nomiya clasped his palms together, with a pure smile on his face, "Please come with us, teacher, we will take you to the residential area."

Although Bai Zi didn't pay much attention to the next arrangement, he showed an unexpected obsession in a strange aspect.

While the others were talking and laughing as they walked outside the school building, she quietly tugged on Luo Lin's arm to attract his attention.

"Teacher, can we sit together while eating?"

"Ok?"

Luo Lin didn't realize it for a while, and subconsciously thought that Baizi wanted to sit at a separate table.

But the words of refusal came to his lips, and he thought about it carefully. When so many people go to eat together, he should choose a seat with benches on both sides of the table. the difference.

If you think about it like this, it seems that there is no problem, so he thought about it for a while, and then agreed very simply.

"of course can."

Chapter 30 Ramen shop

"Huh...huh..."

Qin Xiang ran non-stop on the street for a moment, even though she was already panting slightly, her slender legs that were swinging rapidly did not show any intention of stopping.

Once again avoiding a passing pedestrian, she went straight to a ramen shop on the street ahead, handed the bag to her left hand halfway, and took out her mobile phone to check the time with her right hand.

"Not yet late...!"

Pushing open the door of the shop, Qin Xiang bent down, put her hands on her knees, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"General, general, I'm here."

"It's Celery, very punctual."

A gentle mature male voice sounded in the store, and a Shiba Inu man wearing a white turban and a pipe in his mouth came out from the back kitchen and wiped his hands on the apron of the chef's uniform.

"Don't worry, the official business hasn't started yet, go change the uniform first and take a rest, and then start cleaning in time."

"Okay, General."

Qin Xiang responded, stood up straight, took a deep breath in her chest and exhaled it again, repeated this several times, and finally calmed down her somewhat rapid breathing.

She strode into the staff room, and changed her school uniform into a neat waiter's uniform in a short while.

The girl bit her hair tie in her mouth, and tied her headband with her hands behind her head. As she walked out of the staff room, she chatted with the owner of this "Shibaseki Ramen" - "General Shibata".

"General, is today the same as usual?"

"Yes."

General Chai, who came out to welcome Qinxiang, returned to the back kitchen to get busy again, and prepared the condiments and ingredients needed for today's business with ease.

"Cleaning, entertaining guests, and ordering, thank you for your hard work."

"It doesn't matter, it's all within my duty."

Qin Xiang stretched out her hand to stroke her long hair, wrapped it in a scarf, and finally tied it firmly with a hair tie.

Calling a bucket of water, throwing the dishcloth for wiping the table into it and soaking it, the girl crossed her hips, and glanced at the ramen shop, which is decorated in warmer colors and has a sense of warmth and tradition everywhere, silently. Give yourself a pep talk.

'Well, I have to work hard today. '

……

The relatively free time in the morning is fleeting.

When it was time to eat at noon, the number of customers in the Chaiguan Ramen shop suddenly increased several times, and the girls who worked here and held multiple jobs immediately became busy.

"Welcome to Chai Seki Ramen Shop."

With a smile on Qin Xiang's face, she warmly greeted the guests who just walked in, "How many are you? Three, okay, please follow me, and I will take you to the empty seat."

"Waiter, here, add more noodles."

"OK, just a second!"

Qin Xiang, who had just led the new guests to their seats, methodically responded to the request of another table guest, and at the same time handed the menu to the guest in front of her.

"Please take a look at the menu—general, table 3 wants extra noodles!"

"it is good."

There was a steady response from the back kitchen, and General Chai, who is a superb cook, quickly put the noodles into the pot without feeling in a hurry, and even handled other customers' orders with ease.

"Galala—"

The door of the ramen shop was pushed open again, Qin Xiang instinctively showed a warm smile on her face, and walked quickly towards the door.

"Welcome to Chaiguanla... noodles... wow?!"

She didn't pay attention when the door was just opened, but when she got to the door and took a closer look, her smile couldn't be maintained immediately.

"That's what the five of us said~"

Nomiya waved at Qinxiang, his big green eyes curved into two crescents.

Ayayin next to her covered her mouth and coughed lightly, with a bit of embarrassment in her smile, as if she couldn't let it go.

"Ah, ah haha... Well, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Qinxiang..."

Bai Zi's delicate eyebrows raised slightly, although there was no change in the expression on his face, but he could feel the tenderness in her emotions.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Big, everyone..."

Looking at the five people in front of her, Qin Xiang was stunned, her cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the roots of her ears were dyed a lovely blush.

"Why are you here?!"

"Hmm~ why, anyway, I know it's here."

Hoshino still looked a little sleepy and lazy, his voice seemed light and ethereal, like a ball of soft cotton candy.

Luo Lin, who was walking at the end, also came in from the outside at this time, met Shang Qinxiang's eyes full of shame and indignation, after thinking about it, he raised his hand to say hello.

"Oh hello."

The blush on Qin Xiang's face became more obvious, "Even, even the teacher...is really a stalker?!"

"This is a misunderstanding."

Luo Lin pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed helplessly, "It really has nothing to do with me."

"Well, it's not the teacher's problem."

Hoshino set up a step for Luo Lin in time, avoiding him being sentenced to death by the diners around him.

"Speaking of the place where Qinxiang would secretly come to work, this is the only place I can think of, so let's take a look."

"Yu, so it's Hoshino-senpai... woo..."

The girl let out a low moan, and stretched out her hands to cover her hot cheeks.

If she could, she believed that she would turn around and run now, rush into the staff room and lock the door, and never come out until after get off work.

However, the reality is never as good as imagined, and it is impossible for her to really do that. After all, just standing at the door and chatting with everyone in Abydos High School has already accumulated a lot of things to deal with.

General Chai also poked his head out of the back kitchen window, took off his gloves, and tapped the window sill with his furry paws.

"Are you a student of Abydos? Celica, let's stop talking here, let's order food first."

"Ah, woo... yes, general."

Qin Xiang bit her lip, tried her best to overcome the inexplicable sense of shame in her heart, tried her best to restore her usual state of entertaining guests with a slightly trembling voice.

"Then, I'll take a few to the spacious seats... this way please..."

Following Qin Xiang, Luo Lin and his party sat down around the big wooden table in the store, Ayane and Nomiya sat on one side, Baizi and Hoshino sat on the other.

Coincidentally, there is just enough space left for one person on both sides.

Nomiya stretched out his hand first, and patted the wooden bench with soft cushions beside him.

"Okay, teacher, come here! There is nothing next to me!"

Bai Zi raised his head and looked at Luo Lin, then pursed his mouth imperceptibly, and made a soft nasal sound:

"... Well, my side is also free."

She paused, then added in a low voice, "Teacher, I promised you before."

"Ah, I remember."

Luo Lin smashed his mouth, suddenly felt a little embarrassed for no reason, but finally sat next to Baizi.
