The idea of having her heart scared out of her chest was just an excuse Shizuka Hiratsuka used to act spoiled with Mr. Su Rui, but she was indeed startled.
Mr. Su Rui, on the other hand, was more concerned about her health than Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was just joking.
After hearing Shizuka Hiratsuka say that, Mr. Su Rui's eyes flickered, and he extended his hand:
"Then let me check."
Golden spiritual power began to bloom in Mr. Su Rui's hand, which made Shizuka Hiratsuka feel warm, but also a little shy:
"I was just joking, I wasn't actually scared."
"But your heart rate did suddenly speed up, and you were indeed startled."
Mr. Su Rui directly exposed Shizuka Hiratsuka's little lie, then looked up into her eyes and asked:
"How about now? Do you feel better?"
"Mm, much better, and it feels very comfortable. Your spiritual power is simply too useful."
Out of embarrassment, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't say much, after all, it was Mr. Su Rui who made her comfortable, not the spiritual power itself.
"That's good. I checked with my spiritual power, and your heart did have a small issue, but it's been healed now."
"Really? I feel like my heart is very healthy."
After hearing Mr. Su Rui's words, Shizuka Hiratsuka instead lowered her head in confusion, trying to check her heart with her own eyes.
"Even if it's just being startled, a suddenly accelerated heart rate is actually a very bad effect on the body."
Mr. Su Rui said casually, sitting on Shizuka Hiratsuka's desk:
"You were just passing the time. Don't you have any favorite shows?"
"No, but I have a favorite person right in front of me now."
Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Mr. Su Rui with a playful smile: "So, want to pass the time with me?"
"Alright."
Mr. Su Rui naturally had no objections to this, after all, he was attracted by Shizuka Hiratsuka's suggestion from the very beginning.
However, before starting, Mr. Su Rui also took some precautions to prevent himself and Shizuka Hiratsuka from being discovered.
First, he drew the curtains, then the door; not only did it need to be locked from the inside, but it also needed to be reinforced to prevent anyone from directly breaking in during special circumstances.
Mr. Su Rui directly reinforced the door with his spiritual power; to some extent, this door was already more solid than the adjacent wall.
Having done all that, when he turned his head again, he saw Shizuka Hiratsuka ready, sitting on the desk, looking at him with a half-smile.
Noticing Mr. Su Rui's gaze, Shizuka Hiratsuka gave him a provocative look:
"What? Scared to come over? Are you afraid?"
Mr. Su Rui just silently watched Shizuka Hiratsuka's arrogant demeanor, quietly came to her, and asked:
"I seem to have forgotten who was crying and begging for mercy last night? Was it me?"
"It certainly wasn't me!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka, whose sore spot was hit, immediately shouted in annoyance, and then realized that although her office was soundproof, it was best not to be too loud.
"Your room is very soundproof. Why are you so cautious?"
Mr. Su Rui could tell through his spiritual power that the sound had not been transmitted outside.
But Shizuka Hiratsuka just shook her head: "You don't understand. Even if it doesn't get out, I'll still feel a bit guilty myself."
"In that case, let's make our concert louder."
Shizuka Hiratsuka hoped the sound could be softer to avoid students discovering their teacher was holding a "concert" instead of working.
But if she wanted that, Mr. Su Rui would deliberately make the concert very lively, preferably until Shizuka Hiratsuka was too embarrassed to lift her head.
Of course, Mr. Su Rui would control it so that the sound wouldn't actually transmit outside.
The soundproofing in this private office for teachers was indeed very good; even if they sang loudly in there, not much noise would be heard outside.
With this thought, Mr. Su Rui embraced Shizuka Hiratsuka, not letting her continue to sit on the desk.
The computer was still on it. Mr. Su Rui still wanted to use the computer to pass the time later, so he couldn't accidentally break it.
"The things you've prepared here are too complete. The sofa can even fit two people."
"That's only if we squeeze together completely. The sofa isn't meant to be used as a bed."
Shizuka Hiratsuka, facing Mr. Su Rui, couldn't help but rebel against him.
It wasn't to prove anything; it was just because Mr. Su Rui made her feel ashamed at that moment, and Shizuka Hiratsuka, feeling her heart bursting with shame, was just refuting for the sake of refuting.
And while Mr. Su Rui and Shizuka Hiratsuka were holding their concert, time passed quickly without them noticing.
Yukino Yukinoshita had already finished class and arrived outside Shizuka Hiratsuka's office, knocking on the door, but there was no response. She tried the doorbell... there was no doorbell.
There was no need to guess; seeing the current situation, Yukino Yukinoshita guessed what was happening inside, which made the girl's mood, which had been happy because Mr. Su Rui agreed to a date, become unpleasant again.
However, Yukino Yukinoshita quickly composed herself, leaning against the wall by Shizuka Hiratsuka's office door, waiting for the door to open.
However, what the girl didn't expect was that the office door didn't open until noon.
"..." Touching her stomach, which was already rumbling with hunger, Yukino Yukinoshita decided to go to the cafeteria first, eat lunch, and then come back to see if the office door had opened.
However, just as the girl was halfway there, her phone suddenly received a message from Mr. Su Rui.
The special notification sound rang, and Yukino Yukinoshita quickly took out her phone, only to see such a message.
Mr. Su Rui: "I'm Shizuka Hiratsuka, Yukinoshita, please bring three large lunches to my office. One is for you; it's on me."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "Where is Mr. Su Rui?"
Although she was gritting her teeth in anger, Yukino Yukinoshita still restrained the urge to lose her temper and questioned Shizuka Hiratsuka on the other end of the phone.
The other side was silent for a moment before sending a message.
Mr. Su Rui: "Mr. Su Rui is busy, and I'm busy too."
So, is the slow typing because she's still being intimate with Mr. Su Rui?
A terrifying aura immediately erupted from Yukino Yukinoshita, as if the surrounding temperature had dropped by more than ten degrees.
The classmates walking past her instinctively avoided Yukino Yukinoshita.
"Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, you really are... I'll remember this."
Although she was furious, for the sake of Mr. Su Rui, Yukino Yukinoshita decided to swallow her anger for now.
She would settle the score properly with Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka when they met later.
With this thought, Yukino Yukinoshita bought lunch and strode back towards the school building.
