Lost Narrative Poetry

Time: Close to nine in the morning.

Location: In the teacher’s office.

"Excuse me, Teacher Hiratsuka, is there something wrong?"

Xia Ran sat in his seat very naturally, face to face with the female teacher opposite him. He was not a person used to communicating with teachers, but he would definitely not have stage fright at this time.

After all, he has experienced too many things in the past year. Although he still looks like a high school student, even someone who has really been in society for more than ten years may not have the same character in some aspects. he.

After all, not everyone's life is magnificent and full of all kinds of divine developments. Most people just spend more than ten years in an ordinary life after entering the society.

Not counting the experiences of war madmen, cyberpunk, radiation apocalypse, etc., Xia Ran's current normal social experience is not considered lacking. After all, in the dream, no one would thoughtfully arrange his identity, prepare living expenses, etc.

He could only live a life of self-reliance and try to do everything. Then, on the premise that you can support yourself, consider learning to improve yourself.

This allowed him to hone a lot of life skills and accumulate a considerable amount of experience. He was able to face the current situation with ease. There was absolutely no such thing as a student facing a teacher, like a mouse facing a cat.

Another reason is that the female teacher in front of me is not a majestic type, but a "big sister" who is very popular among students -

Chinese language teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, who is also responsible for life guidance, cares very much about his students. Because he is a "young person", he is often assigned to be responsible for various school activities.

If there is anyone Xia Ran is most familiar with and has the closest relationship with in this strange school, it is this beautiful teacher who is like a big sister. For almost a whole year before, he didn't come to school much. It was Teacher Hiratsuka who cared about him.

"Classmate Xia Ran, I'm glad you came to school today. This is a good momentum. I hope you can continue it...and you seem to be in good condition today. Are you feeling much better?"

The corners of Mr. Hiratsuka's mouth raised slightly, as if he was really happy about such a thing from the bottom of his heart.

"It is indeed much better. I have never felt so relaxed... If possible, I hope I can continue to do so."

Xia Ran nodded in agreement. He felt that this feeling of relaxation, as if he had recovered from a severe cold, was really amazing, so he didn't mind sharing his happiness with Teacher Hiratsuka.

"This is really the best. Teacher, I am very happy to see this development."

Hiratsuka-sensei said with a smile, taking out a cigarette from the pocket on his chest that was about to burst, and habitually banged the filter on the table, as skillfully as a middle-aged uncle.

But just when she was about to open the lighter, she seemed to remember something, so she sighed, put the cigarette back, and glanced at the boy in front of her.

"Well, you're welcome, Mr. Hiratsuka, just treat this place as your own home and don't need to consider my problems..."

Xia Ran raised a slender finger and pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose to prevent his eyes from going to strange places, even though he did not think smoking was a good thing, and he did not approve of ladies smoking.

But this is the other person's habit or hobby, so he doesn't think he has any qualifications to question it.

"Don't make it sound like this is your home, and how could you not consider your problems..." Mr. Hiratsuka sighed, his eyes becoming serious, "By the way, do you think I called you here because What’s the reason?”

"..."

"..."

"Is it because I didn't finish the previous Chinese homework?"

After being silent for a while, as if he finally couldn't bear the sight of the female teacher, Xia Ran turned her head slightly, raised a finger to scratch her cheek, and said with some uncertainty.

"Haha... "Before" is such a good word. When have you ever completed it? "

Mr. Hiratsuka pressed his forehead and sighed deeply again. "I didn't count on you in this regard at all."

"..."

Xia Ran twitched the corner of his mouth. He really had never cared much about this aspect. Moreover, according to his previous situation, it was obviously impossible to say that he could complete all his homework on time and with high quality and quantity.

——I don’t have the time, let alone the energy.

As for now, it all depends on his self-consciousness. Privilege is everywhere, even in an ivory tower like campus, but it is not as realistic as society, which pays attention to money, connections, status, etc., but depends on grades.

As long as he continues to maintain his image as an unreasonable monster academic master who can mess up the whole server without studying, then everything will be fine.

The same is probably true for teachers. They all know the difference between goals and processes very well, and they will not say that even if students achieve the final goal, they must let the other student repeat the process.

This is not necessary at all, it is not crazy, and there is no sense of ritual in learning.

"Okay, let me tell you straight, you didn't participate in club activities, did you?" Mr. Hiratsuka seemed dissatisfied, but he didn't intend to sell it off and asked directly.

"……No?"

"Why do you use such an uncertain tone?" Mr. Hiratsuka raised his eyebrows, "Don't you even remember it?"

"Well, no."

This question really does not require much thinking, Xia Ran answered honestly again, but he already understood what the other party wanted to say, so he was decisively prepared to stop this trouble.

"And I don't plan to participate in club activities. It will only cause trouble to others. After all, my situation..."

"I know this. If you are still as sick as before, of course I can't let you participate in any club activities."

Mr. Hiratsuka's eyes looked very serious.

"But I just consulted the doctor yesterday. She suggested that I try to let you move as much as possible. And I see that your mental outlook seems to be much better now. You haven't taken a day off since the beginning of this semester..."

"This is because it hasn't been a month since the school started." Xia Ran raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but interject.

There are a total of three semesters in Japanese high schools. The new semester, the first semester, starts on April 8. Almost all high schools are like this, and this private school is no exception.

So the question is, school only started on April 8th, and it’s still April and not May. Isn’t this new semester just beginning?

"Anyway, this is already very good. Although this semester has just begun, the time you come to school will almost exceed half of the last school year." Mr. Hiratsuka looked at the boy in front of him with gentle and caring eyes.

This kind of gaze is very rude! Xia Ran looked away very uncomfortably, trying not to meet the other person's eyes.

"Anyway, that's it. I think what the doctor said makes sense..." Mr. Hiratsuka continued, "More activities, some social interaction, and more sunshine will be of great benefit to you. I need it." I’ll urge you.”

"Supervise... Supervise for what?" Xia Ran vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"I'll be honest... Xia Ran, you don't have any friends, do you?" The female teacher was not polite at all and said even more tactfully.

"..." Because her tone was too certain, Xia Ran found that she couldn't find the words to fight back.

It seems that this is indeed the case. Even in the dream, he has no friends, and the so-called social interactions are just tending to work contacts.

…

…

About five minutes later.

"I don't need friends, I can live my whole life by myself..."

Teacher Hiratsuka left a "click-click" sound of footsteps on the waxed floor. The place she was going to seemed to be a special building, and Xia Ran, who was forcibly dragged forward, wanted to struggle to death, but his He is obviously not as strong as the female teacher.

"Stop saying such stupid things. It's been a year and you haven't made a single friend. Don't you feel like you've failed as a human being?" Teacher Hiratsuka said without any doubt, "I now suspect that your health has never completely improved. , just because I haven’t been out for activities, I suppressed it myself.”

Ah, it really is this, I knew it!

Xia Ran's eyes twitched a few times.

He has roughly understood that doctors recommend patients who have been resting and inactive for a long time to go out and bask in the sun and increase their activities. This will be more beneficial to their health. If they stay inactive for a long time, it will be harmful instead of beneficial.

Therefore, after thinking that Xia Ran's condition was ready for further activities, the female teacher also felt that he must let him start a normal life... By the way, what is a normal life? Was he an abnormal person before?

"But it's still during class..." Xia Ran was still working hard.

"Come on, you weren't listening at all during class!" The female teacher sneered at this. Is this person really good at class? Do not make jokes!

And he doesn’t have any friends, and he doesn’t even have normal social interactions. What kind of trouble is this?

No matter how good your grades are, they can't represent everything, so Hiratsuka Shizuka thinks this is a very necessary thing to prevent this guy from developing an antisocial personality in the future and taking revenge on society.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that someone just said something very rude and expressed your feelings, Mr. Hiratsuka, in the form of a narration..." Xia Ran tried hard to maintain a fake smile full of cracks, and there was a problem on her forehead. A vein appeared.

"..."

"..."

"...Hahaha, Xia Ran, you must be overthinking. How can there be such a thing as narration in this world?" A drop of cold sweat suddenly appeared on Mr. Hiratsuka's forehead, and he was sweating nervously.

She clearly didn't say what was in her heart just now. Why is this guy so sharp? Reading minds is too foul!

"Okay! This is it, get ready to go in!"

In order to prevent Xia Ran from pursuing this issue further, she said this hurriedly and stopped in front of a seemingly normal classroom. The sign on the door had no words and was blank.

The next moment, Teacher Hiratsuka opened the door and walked in.
