Chapter 167 Suguha’s sense of immorality
After a late-night snack, it was time to take a shower. After the shower, I fell asleep on the bed.
Facts have once again proven that improving physical fitness has nothing to do with mental work.
Even a strong person like Haruno Sawayama will inevitably feel a little tired after a day of traveling and hours of coding.
Not to mention that the following Thursday will be equally busy. He must have enough energy to continue working on the project the next day.
He was not the only one who was also tired.
Just after Sawayama Haruno returned to his room to rest, the light in the room in the courtyard belonging to Mine Shiori was still on.
Mine Shiori, who followed Riho Morikawa and returned to Ginkakuji Temple at around seven o'clock in the evening, was frowning at her computer.
"Well written."
She suddenly spoke softly.
“That’s great”
After speaking, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised a little, but they were quickly suppressed again.
Looking at the glowing computer screen in front of her, she was lost in thought for a long time.
Haruno's writing was even better than she imagined.
There are many places that resonate deeply with me, as if I can find many shadows of my past in the book.
Especially after seeing Naoko's suicide and Watanabe's subsequent change in mentality, she felt mixed emotions inside and had an indescribable feeling.
"Haruno, is this what you want to tell me?"
she whispered.
His eyes unconsciously fell on the small stationery bag next to the computer desk.
Of course, this is not a stationery bag that is actually used to hold stationery. What it actually contains is a bit unspeakable.
Those were some props that Mine Shiori brought over after careful consideration before setting off. After all, he had to stay in Kyoto for several days. He had to complete the internship work, help Haruno check the content of the manuscript, and also take time to give Naomi a message. Ye Tuition.
Even she will feel some pressure on her.
And the best way to deal with stress is, of course, the props in this small stationery bag.
At this moment, looking at the stationery bag at hand, Feng Shizhi felt a little shaken in his heart.
I really want to use it, she thought to herself.
The more I looked at Haruno's manuscript, the more distracting thoughts kept popping up in my heart.
Even she herself didn't know whether this was a good phenomenon or a bad phenomenon. She only knew that she wanted to vent her unnecessary thoughts through the clip.
There seemed to be a voice in her heart, constantly urging her to carry out the so-called "self-punishment" quickly, but in fact, Mine Shiori remained unmoved.
Because the manuscript was still in front of her.
There is a feeling that I don’t want to feel sorry for Haruno.
It's obvious that the other party is trying to untie his knot with the help of such novels, but he still shamelessly continues to use the clip. Isn't this tantamount to betraying Haruno's good intentions?
Thinking of this, Feng Shizhi couldn't help biting her lip.
"No, no."
Her body swayed once or twice, and her face turned a little inexplicably pale.
Everything is fine, except that I don't want to let down Haruno's good intentions of letting him get out of his inner shadow.
Therefore, you must endure it.
If you can't even do such a small thing, how can you be with Haruno in the future? The other party definitely doesn't want to see him torture himself in this self-abuse way.
Just think of it as just for Haruno and give up using the clip, Shiori
She warned herself in her heart and forced herself to look away.
call--
The petite girl breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, looking at the ancient and Japanese-style architecture in her room, feeling a little at a loss.
The best way to forcefully divert "distracting thoughts" is naturally to go to sleep.
So after a moment of daze, Feng Shizhi dragged her slightly stiff body to turn off the indoor lights, and then returned to her bed.
Feeling the special softness woven between the tatami and the mattress, the originally "uneasy" thoughts seemed to gradually fade away.
It was as if sleepiness had secretly brewed during the whole day's exertion. After completely relaxing, Feng Shizhi's eyelids quickly began to move up and down.
Finally, with an unconscious cry, Feng Shizhi fell into a deep sleep.
"Haruno."
When I opened my eyes again, I realized that I was no longer in Tokyo.
Feng Shizhi was lying on the bed in a daze, feeling as if her sleep was extremely short. The memories before going to bed were still clearly imprinted in her mind.
So much so that in the morning, she felt a little uncomfortable from the friction in front of her body.
"Master, are you up?"
The question from his apprentice, Suguha Esaki, came from outside the door.
The sunshine seems to be very good, and you can see a tall and faint figure standing at the door through the door.
Feng Shiori was stunned for two and a half seconds before subconsciously responding.
"He's already awake."
"Can you come in?"
"Eh? Please come in!"
Feng Shiori hurriedly sat up, adjusted her clothes, and slightly covered some "obvious" areas, trying not to be as eye-catching as possible.
Bang——
The slightly old sliding door was opened by Ezaki Suguha, who wore a single ponytail braid for the first time today.
Due to her excellent hair volume, she seems to be particularly suitable for this kind of dress. While being intellectual, she also shows the sense of playfulness that a girl of this age should have.
Coupled with the light green knitted short-sleeves she specially put on, it is hard to imagine that this straightforward and mean girl actually has such a energetic side. "Master, good morning."
As soon as he came in, Esaki Suguha greeted him very politely.
He was so polite that Feng Shiori felt a little at a loss.
"Morning, good morning."
The petite girl asked awkwardly while arranging her slightly messy hairstyle: "Suguha, you got up so early."
"When I'm in Tokyo, I have to get up early and go for a morning run. Even though I'm in Kyoto now, I still wake up according to my biological clock."
Esaki Suguha paused for a moment and looked at Mine Shiori with a slightly apologetic look.
"I'm sorry, master, shouldn't I have come so early?"
"No, I was already awake before you came over." Feng Shizhi smiled lightly at her and explained, "It's better to get up early. I haven't even had time to read the manuscript Haruno sent last night, and in the afternoon I’ll give you some tutoring when you get there.”
"Tuition."
Esaki Suguha opened her mouth, her expression becoming more and more guilty.
"Sorry, master, I came here just to tell you that the tutoring sessions for these two days may have to be cancelled."
"Huh?"
Feng Shiori stared at her blankly.
What does cancel mean.
Would Suguha actually take the initiative to cancel the tutoring plan? In the past, Suguha would only agree to it when she had to cancel it, but today it was actually the other party who proposed it?
Seeing that she seemed confused, Esaki Suguha had no choice but to explain: "My other friends seem to know about my coming to Kyoto."
"When I came to Kyoto to participate in competitions, I met a lot of people. Now that they know I'm here, they want me to go out and get together."
"So that's it." Feng Shizhi suddenly realized.
She immediately put on a gentle and considerate smile and said softly: "Okay, I originally asked Suguha to come with me just to let you relax. In this case, it doesn't matter if I miss two days of tutoring."
"Thank you, master"
Seeing how easy it was to deceive Mine Shiori, Esaki Suguha felt even more guilty.
There was an inexplicable feeling of guilt lingering in her heart.
The reason is also very simple——
She had the "talent" to see if others were lying, but she lied in front of the master she needed to respect.
And the purpose of lying is not for anything else, but for what the other person cares about most.
There is an indescribable sense of betrayal.
Not only for my master, but also for my friends.
"master."
After being silent for a while, Esaki Suguha spoke with some difficulty.
"Master, is there anything you want to visit in Kyoto? Or something you want to buy?"
"Huh?"
Feng Shizhi, who was making the mattress, was stunned when he heard this.
However, she quickly realized what her apprentice wanted to do, so she persuaded with a smile: "No need, even if there is a place I really want to go or buy, I can go there myself."
"Would it be troublesome?"
"No, that's what traveling is like, right?" Feng Shizhi said softly while adjusting her quilt, "There's nothing that's too troublesome. Besides, I won't be free these two days. If I'm free, I'll I want to follow Chun"
Halfway through her words, she realized something was wrong, so she swallowed it back urgently and changed her words: "Shall the three of us go together when we are free?"
"Suguha will never stay with her friends in the next few days, right?"
She turned back and smiled at her apprentice.
But the latter didn't respond at all, just stared at her intently.
"Suguha?"
".I see."
Esaki Suguha came to her senses and looked away with a guilty conscience.
"Then, let's go out and play together after we are all done." She said softly.
"Uh-huh."
Feng Shizhi folded the quilt and put it on the mattress, and suddenly said a little embarrassed: "Well, I have to change clothes next, so..."
"Sorry to disturb the master, we will talk later."
Seeing Mine Shiori's intention, Esaki Suguha simply pushed to the outside of the door, and also opened the door smoothly.
She didn't dare to stay at her master's door for too long, fearing that her strangeness would be noticed by him, so she quickly walked out of the courtyard.
After going out, Esaki Suguha stared blankly at the pine forest in the distance and let out a long sigh of relief.
The plan to compensate the master seems to have ended in failure.
Esaki Suguha laughed at herself.
But the plan to compensate my friend seemed to be successful. The other party had just sent her a list of things she wanted. He probably thought he was preparing to buy her a birthday gift in advance.
Really, how can anyone prepare this kind of thing a month and a half in advance?
Esaki Suguha's eyes dimmed slightly for a moment, but after noticing the approach of the bodyguard next to her, she quickly returned to her usual calm appearance.
"Miss, are you looking for me?"
The bodyguard who led Haruno Sawayama yesterday appeared at the side with some doubts. Looking at the eldest lady who was obviously not quite right today, he did not dare to look at her.
"Well, please go buy some things from various places in Kyoto later."
Saying that, Esaki Suguha took out her mobile phone.
Looking at the text message sent by someone above, she smiled silently at first, and then whispered: "I will give you a list. You buy everything on it and put it in a gift bag."
"I see."
