Chapter 925: Tonight, two teachers are drunk [7k]

Is it really necessary to go to this extent?

Lin Ye couldn't understand.

And the behavior of this girl in the original work also made him, who was watching at the time, very puzzled.

The reason could only be said to be explainable, but it was to a forced degree, very far-fetched.

How could a good girl give herself to a strange man she met once.

The world is so big, there are so many people, and it's two-dimensional, so it seems it's not something that can't be accepted.

Lin Ye stopped thinking about it; thinking more wouldn't yield a reason.

"Tachibana-san, a young girl's growth and maturity have no necessary relationship with whether she is dating."

He decided to start temporarily guest-starring as a life master, guiding the girl back to the correct path of life.

"If you want to grow and mature, it lies in experiencing more social life, interacting and communicating with more people, and understanding more relevant knowledge."

Lin Ye looked at the girl and continued, "Instead of thinking that dating a man can make you grow and mature, I don't know where you heard it, but this method doesn't work."

"..."

Tachibana Rui thought for a while, "Isn't dating also one of the communications? Isn't it also possible to gain more social-related experience?"

"Yes."

Lin Ye's non-denying reaction made the girl stunned; she had already prepared how to refute Lin Ye, and suddenly lost her place to use it.

"But this dating should be a real relationship from the bottom of the heart."

Tachibana Rui understood Lin Ye's meaning.

The dating request she proposed wasn't a relationship she longed for from the heart, not a simple dating between men and women, but dating mixed with goals; it was no longer simple and pure.

Is such dating still real dating?

At this moment, Tachibana Rui held self-doubt.

"I... am willing."

She said again.

"But I am not willing."

Lin Ye answered with a smile, "Dating is a kind of interpersonal behavior between men and women conducted voluntarily by both parties. Tachibana-san is willing, I am not willing, which also represents that this relationship is not real dating."

"Am I... not good?"

She pursed her lips, her expression unwilling.

Regardless, for her as a girl to take the initiative to propose this request, and even once indicated allowing doing things a boyfriend can do, this was already a sufficient hint; this already indicated she had prepared mentally and stepped out of that step in her heart.

But even so,

Lin Ye still rejected it, and she couldn't help but doubt herself.

Is it really that she has no charm at all?

Tachibana Rui recalled her experiences from childhood to adulthood; it seemed she really hadn't had any boy confess love to her, although her sister always said she was cute, but, no boy came to actively contact and confess, what does that count as cute?

Lin Ye, hearing this answer from the girl and seeing the girl's reaction, realized that the girl had fallen into self-denial and doubt; this is a side many women will have.

No girl will not care about her own attraction to the opposite sex, even Yukinoshita Yukino is unavoidable; for example, if he said Yukinoshita was very flat, she would definitely be poisoned and scolded by Yukinoshita, without a hint of hesitation.

"Tachibana-san, you as a girl have charm, your appearance is cute, your figure is slender, your skin is soft and smooth, your personality looks cold, but actually very gentle, and you can cook a good meal; you are a girl with considerable charm."

The sudden praise made Tachibana Rui's cheeks show a faint blush after a moment of astonishment.

First time being praised by a peer of the opposite sex.

Simple praise words made her heart constantly emerge with warm joy that warmed her whole body.

"So, you don't need to doubt your own charm, and don't need to feel uncomfortable and inferior because of my rejection. I can tell you for sure, you are absolutely a good girl; at Sobu High, there must be many boys who have a good impression of you."

Tachibana Rui listened, recalled,

but really couldn't think of anyone at Sobu High who had a good impression of her.

During the days after transferring to Sobu High, she hadn't encountered any boy who actively came to talk to her.

Among the boys, she talked the most with Lin Ye instead.

"Thank you."

Facing the boy in front of her, Tachibana Rui realized this was comfort, this was to let her not be inferior and depressed, to let her be more confident.

"I'm telling the truth. If I didn't have a girl I like, didn't have a girlfriend, I would be quite willing to accept Hinata-sensei's suggestion and try dating you."

In the end, Lin Ye made a joke.

The atmosphere eased quite a bit.

Tachibana Rui somewhat believed that Lin Ye had a girlfriend.

She was also curious about who Lin Ye's girlfriend was.

At least her sister definitely didn't know; this confidentiality work was done very well, or they just started dating recently, so her sister didn't know yet.

"I can."

"Hahaha."

Lin Ye laughed, "I'm afraid of being hacked to death by my girlfriend with a kitchen knife; I still want to live a few more years and enjoy the beauty of the world."

Tachibana Rui also couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Since Lin Ye had said it to this extent, she naturally didn't need to continue pestering.

It's just that it was somewhat regrettable.

She had originally prepared mentally and was willing to accept some unreasonable requests Lin Ye might make for this.

If it were a boyfriend, it would be inevitable to make such and such requests, and she would be willing to agree.

As a result, Lin Ye didn't want it.

She was certainly somewhat uncomfortable and disappointed by the contrast in her heart.

"Lin-san,"

"You say."

"Thank you for tonight, thank you for your help to me, thank you for your comfort to me."

"Don't thank me; after all, I have received quite a bit of care from Tachibana-san and Tachibana-sensei."

"I didn't care for you."

She shook her head; her care for Lin Ye was almost zero.

"Wasn't I sleeping at home that night, and wasn't Tachibana-san taking care of me?"

Tachibana Rui remembered, and she remembered even more what happened during the day.

Instantly, her fair cheeks showed a blush.

"Compared to caring for you, I also threatened you, didn't I?"

"It's already passed."

"But I remember."

She seemed to have made some decision, slowly exhaling, "As compensation for my behavior that day, Lin-san, why don't you punch me?"

"Haha, I thought you would say 'whatever request I make'!"

"That's also fine."

Lin Ye reached out his finger and tapped on Tachibana Rui's little head.

Not heavy, but not light either.

A crisp 'thud' sound rang out.

Tachibana Rui held her head with both hands, making a 'woo' sob; she looked at Lin Ye with a little water mist in her eyes, seemingly blaming Lin Ye for using such force to tap.

"As a man, a friendly reminder to Tachibana-san,"

She watched.

"Don't promise 'any request is fine'."

Lin Ye said earnestly, "Not every man can control and restrain himself like me; such a promise of yours easily makes men have wild thoughts and make some excessive requests."

She knew, and she was prepared mentally.

'Thud...'

"Woo..."
