I play the wind instrument in Hokkaido.

The way Shinomiya Haruka acts in front of her students is completely different from how Kitahara Hakuba behaves in private; it's no exaggeration to call it an extreme contrast.

"Am I bothering you by being here?" she continued.

This book is being released online for the first time.

There was no hint of dissent in Shinomiya Haruka's words. She didn't question or get angry; she simply felt that it would affect Kitahara Hakuba's tutorial.

"No, there's really not much to teach."

Kitahara Hakuba pondered for a moment, then looked at Kanzaki Eri and said,

"Kanzaki-san, do you have the sheet music with you?"

Eri Kanzaki didn't say anything, but simply placed her schoolbag on her lap, unzipped it, and took out a stack of sheet music.

But what she took out was Kitahara Hakuba's new song, or rather, the sheet music that Eto Kana lent her.

“I’m talking about the piece you’ll be using for your exam,” Kitahara Hakuba said.

Eri Kanzaki shook her head:

"Did not bring."

"Kansaki-chan didn't even bring her oboe?"

Haruka Shinomiya gazed at her face with curiosity; her gaze was much gentler than when she was facing Haruka Saito.

Kitahara Hakuba once suspected that this was an effect that Kanzaki Eri herself possessed.

"No."

"That's where Bai Ma is wrong. Since they came to find you, you should have told them in advance that you were bringing musical instruments. Isn't this just a wasted trip?"

Faced with his girlfriend's accusations, Kitahara Hakuba was speechless and could only nod repeatedly, acknowledging that it was his fault.

Because he understood that Huili's reason for not bringing her oboe was not for studying, but rather for "studying".

Just then, Eri Kanzaki stood up from the sofa and slowly bowed slightly to the two of them:

"I'm going back."

"Are we going back now?" Shinomiya Haruka stood up. "Would you like to stay for dinner?"

Eri Kanzaki's mouth opened and closed slightly, and finally she gently shook her head, her hair swaying with the movement.

She walked to the entrance, put on her loafers, and her white socks were quite thin, through which her flesh-colored skin could be vaguely seen.

"Shall we send Bai Ma to see him off?" Shinomiya Haruka suddenly said.

"I'll deliver it?" Kitahara Hakuba, who had originally planned not to make any move, stopped abruptly upon hearing this.

A faint smile played on Shinomiya Haruka's lips:

"I just think this way would be better. Besides, we're just students, so what's there to be shy about? Moreover, I think it would be better to maintain Kitahara-sensei's warm personality."

Kitahara Hakuba pondered for a moment, but before he could give a clear answer, Kanzaki Eri obediently stood at the entrance waiting for him.

Is this a test for Haruka Shinomiya?

Or is it just that I'm overthinking things because I feel guilty?

No, rather, being lost in deep thought now would only arouse suspicion, Kitahara Hakuba thought to himself.

"Okay, then wait for me a moment." He picked up the coat hanging on the rack, put it on, and prepared to see Kanzaki Eri off.

The moment he approached, a serene and lovely smile appeared on Eri Kanzaki's small face.

As I opened the door, a cluster of dim yellow lights, like the first rays of sunrise, came into view—the streetlights lining the street.

Kitahara Hakuba closed the door behind him. He never imagined that one day he would do such a thing with a female student.

Moreover, there is more than one.

It's strange, the more conflicted people feel, the more they reflect on themselves, ask themselves questions, and question whether this is really the right thing to do.

Knowing something is one thing, but wanting to solve it is another. Choosing to go with the flow and let nature take its course becomes the choice of most people.

Kitahara Hakuba was no exception. He believed that this situation would be resolved after they graduated, but would that really be the case?

Or rather, the girls' graduation will not only fail to solve the problem, but will instead become the pliers that sever their ankles, making them more free.

Kitahara Hakuba subconsciously glanced at Kanzaki Eri beside him. Her profile was so cute, calm, serene, yet bright, stirring a protective force deep within the viewer's heart, making it irresistible and leaving one no choice but to surrender to her.

At that moment, Eri Kanzaki seemed to sense his gaze and raised her eyebrows to look over.

She didn't speak, but her clear, bright eyes, without a trace of filth, seemed to say everything; there was only Kitahara Hakuma in her eyes.

Kitahara Hakuma tightened his grip on his body with his hands tucked into his coat pockets, his gaze fixed on the extremely dark asphalt road.

Sure enough, he liked the feeling of being relied upon by Eri.

Even in his ambiguous interactions with her, Kitahara Hakuba realized that he was like playing with a white palette, and the moment he colored it, he felt an unparalleled sense of satisfaction.

And the name of this palette is "Kanzaki Eri," which is truly the epitome of stupidity and despicableness.

Kitahara Hakuba took a deep breath and slowly raised his head, but he could not see the moon or the stars.

He thought that he had already lost most of himself in the embarrassing haze of the young girl.

Just then, Eri Kanzaki suddenly stopped and reached out to tug at Hakuba Kitahara's sleeve.

“Bai Ma,” she said softly, “there.”

Kitahara Hakuba looked in the direction Kanzaki Eri was pointing and saw her pointing to the public restroom next to the park.

He knew Hui was in the bathroom, trying to recover from the earlier interruption, but he had already snapped out of his daze and couldn't stay with her any longer.

Eri Kanzaki looked at him with a sincere expression, waiting for his reply.

Kitahara Hakuba thought to himself, "If he says he wants to go to the men's room, Eri will definitely agree."

Although I was thinking about doing something on the way, I didn't expect the time to put it into action to come so quickly, and that required immense courage. ·Lanlan~Literature* ¨Latest chapter/section published?

"Eri, although I don't think it might be the case, I still want to ask..."

"kindness?"

"Have you developed feelings for me in that way?"

The moment he said those words, Kitahara Hakuba regretted it a little.

He wanted to quickly explain, "Or do you simply want someone to teach you health care?" But Kanzaki Eri's face turned red in an instant, and her breathing became shallow and rapid.

Whether it's her cherry-red cheeks or her soft earlobes that look like drops of blood, they all reveal the girl's innocence and excitement.

Eri Kanzaki didn't say anything, she just held her schoolbag in front of her with both hands, her head down and motionless.

It seems to be true. Kitahara Hakuba pretended to be calm, but in reality, he was already flustered by shame.

He wasn't ashamed because girls liked him, but ashamed of himself for saying those things so bluntly.

Kitahara Hakuba was at a loss for words.

Sure enough, the indulgence and pleasure he had once enjoyed now turned back on him, leaving him with a bitter taste.

Her fragrant buttocks and her small hands transformed into vines that bound him, making it impossible for him to refuse readily.

"Eri, you should know by now, Haruka Shinomiya is my girlfriend."

Kitahara Hakuba raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Our relationship is very good. I can't betray her. Your family is well-off. You can't entrust your life to someone like me. Before we take anything further, it's better to keep our distance."

Before crossing the final line, they need to keep their distance, otherwise they might really fall into an abyss, and he and Huili might not even be able to scream.

Eri Kanzaki's shy expression suddenly froze, the blush seemed to fade away with the night wind, and her nails dug deeply into the laces.

Chapter 350, Page 349: Without you, I'll only get worse (4) >>

The girl's pretty brows furrowed, and her voice was like withered leaves in the autumn wind:

"Wouldn't it be better to just break up?"

"Impossible, I can't break up with her." As if to solidify this idea, Kitahara Hakuba shook his head vigorously.

唔：

Kanzaki Eri bit her lower lip, as if she wanted to say something, but to Kitahara Hakuba's surprise, she didn't say anything more, only saying, "It's so cold."

Kitahara Hakuma tightened his grip on either side of his pockets.

He wasn't stupid; he knew that Huili wanted to know one thing: whether he would still give her a coat on nights like this.

Kitahara Hakuba was forcing himself not to give it to her, but his guilt and pity for Kanzaki Eri made him unable to hold on for even a minute.

"If you don't have anything else to do in the future, you don't need to come looking for me. I'll be with Shinomiya every night."

As Kitahara Hakuba spoke, he took off his coat and draped it over Kanzaki Eri's delicate body.

"Give me your schoolbag."

She didn't resist; she simply handed the schoolbag to Kitahara Hakuba and held onto her coat with both hands.

Because Eri Kanzaki is about the same height as Tatsuka Kuno, she looks a little small when she wears a coat, with the hem of the coat reaching her calves.

The two boarded the tram. There weren't many people in the carriage. Kitahara Hakuba's phone rang. It was a message from Shinomiya Haruka, asking where the two were.

Kitahara Hakuba told him the truth, as if to reassure himself, and even sent Shinomiya Haruka a picture of a tram car.

Is that alright?

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not being good enough."

Suddenly, he heard Eri Kanzaki's apology. Kitahara Hakuba looked at her for a while, but instead of a smile, he saw only exhaustion on her face.

The girl's trembling voice betrayed her inner panic and unease. Perhaps in Eri's eyes, Kitahara Hakuba was determined to sever ties with her.

Kitahara Hakuba could hear a hint of pleading in Eri's tone, which made him feel conflicted. He even imagined holding her body and comforting her by saying, "I was just kidding."

"That's not true. If anyone isn't good enough, it's me."

Kitahara Hakuba lowered his head, his fingers interlaced. The carriage floor was too clean, as were Eri's loafers, the tips of which were catching a glimmer of light.

"Mmm-one-one"

Eri Kanzaki pressed her legs tightly together; the area he once cherished was now hidden in the shadows.
