Chapter 319 A Date with Jingke
"Is there a problem?!"
Seeing Natsumi's confusion, Hiratsuka Shizuka became embarrassed and annoyed, and asked him in return.
"Why did you suddenly... want me to go on a date with you?"
"What do you mean you want me to go with you? Didn't you ask me to go on a date with you before? Don't get it backwards!" Hiratsuka Shizuka corrected her shyly.
"Uh..." Xia Sheng then remembered the agreement the two had made before.
He never thought that Shizuka Taira would keep her promise; he just thought she was stalling for time to get by.
"What? Are you going to back out?" Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes sharpened as she stared intently at him.
"No way, I'd be overjoyed!" Xia Sheng quickly waved his hand in denial.
"G-Happy?!" Hiratsuka Shizuka panicked.
"You...you don't actually have feelings for me, do you? Let me tell you, this kind of thing is not allowed!"
"Hehe~"
Seeing Shizuka Taira's flustered appearance, Natsuo realized that she was genuinely cute, but she was cute to begin with.
After all, her name is Jing, which is cute.
Seeing her like this, Xia Sheng wanted to tease her even more.
"Why not?"
"We are teacher and student!" Hiratsuka Shizuka emphasized.
"But I won't be your student in two years."
"A teacher for a day is a teacher for life, do you know that?"
"Aren't you my sister Jing?"
"You..." Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't know what to say.
Why does Xia Sheng seem so serious?
Could he really have feelings for her?
"Sister Jing, your status isn't an issue; everything will be fine after graduation."
"No, no, that's not the right way of thinking, and besides, there's such a big age difference between us..."
"
"How much difference?"
"Don't ask any more questions!" Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression changed, and without hesitation, she punched Natsuo.
"...Yes." Xia Sheng clutched his stomach and didn't ask any more questions.
They actually hit him.
It seems that age is a taboo subject for her.
But it's normal for girls to be like this. Except for being a student, their other identities will inevitably restrict their age.
"In short, you can't have that kind of thinking, you know? I may want to take care of you for a while, but I never thought about taking care of you for the rest of my life."
"What's wrong with that? Sister Jing, you're so young. What's the difference between us walking together and being a couple?" Xia Sheng wanted to continue teasing her.
"Love, lovers?!" Hiratsuka Shizuka reacted again.
"No...it's impossible. You look so mature, while you're still so immature. At most, you're just siblings."
"Relationships between older women and younger men are very popular now. Jingjie, you're so beautiful, who could guess your age?"
"Beautiful!?" Hiratsuka Shizuka's lips visibly curled up; she was very happy.
Do you think I'm pretty?
"Of course!" Xia Sheng nodded seriously.
"How does it compare to Yukinoshita and the others?"
"She's definitely prettier than them; they're still so young and inexperienced."
"Is that so..." Hiratsuka Shizuka's smile was impossible to hide.
But she quickly realized what was happening and her expression turned serious.
"Even so, you can't have those kinds of thoughts!"
"Not yet?"
"No!" Hiratsuka Shizuka said with a serious expression.
"I'm the teacher, and you're the student. What if someone we know finds out? What will you do? What will I do?"
"By then, I had already graduated."
"That won't do either!"
"But the world is very open now, and people are very tolerant. They might just wish us well."
"No!"
"Jing-jie, are you saying I'm too young?" Xia Sheng looked heartbroken.
"This, this is only one aspect..." Hiratsuka Shizuka almost couldn't bear it.
Xia Sheng's heartbroken appearance truly pained her.
This guy is a heartbreaker; no wonder so many girls like him. If he's not kept in check, he'll definitely go astray.
"on the one hand?"
"Yeah, don't you think about your own situation? You've had affairs with so many girls, all in such ambiguous ways. How could I possibly have feelings for you?"
"Ah, this..." Xia Sheng was speechless.
He spent all his time with Yukino and the others, and because of his special relationship with them, he almost forgot that outsiders all thought of him as a womanizer.
How could a normal woman, a woman whose values are not influenced by physical appearance, possibly be willing to have contact with him?
"So forget about it, I'll never allow you to pursue me."
"Okay..." Xia Sheng gave up teasing her.
"Besides fulfilling my promise, I also have important things to do when I ask you out."
"Important matter?"
On Wednesday, after school, Natsumi got into Shizuka Heira's car and accompanied her to do something important.
Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't tell him what it was about, she just told him to follow her.
Xia Sheng was very disappointed in her for actually using the pretense of fulfilling an agreement to get him to accompany him and help him, and decided to tease her again in the future.
"Where are we going?" Xia Sheng asked, sitting in the passenger seat.
"You'll see when we get there," Shizuka Heike said, focusing on driving.
"Are they going to sell me off?"
"Do I look like that kind of person?" Hiratsuka Shizuka rolled her eyes at him.
"You're not like me, but I'm good enough."
"...Aren't you ashamed?"
"I get it. You actually took me to a remote place and then did bad things to me, right?"
"Screw you! We'll be there soon."
"Um?"
Xin Xiasheng suddenly realized that this road was very familiar, and he seemed to understand what she was going to do.
Hiratsuka Shizuka found a nearby parking lot to park, and then led Natsuo towards their destination.
Xia Sheng didn't actually need her to take him; he knew where he was going.
bookstore.
Shizuka Heike came to buy books, specifically light novels, and one of his own.
Today is the third day of release for the "Konosuba" manga.
Black Cat reminded him last night and asked if he wanted to accompany him to check on the sales situation.
Normally, Natsuo would have agreed and could have chatted with Kuroneko, but he refused because he had to go on a date with Hirae Shizuka.
In the end, they still came to the scene.
Arriving at the bookstore entrance, Xia Sheng glanced around and thankfully, there was no black cat there.
They may have already been here.
After all, the novel started selling in the morning, and without him by her side, Black Cat could have checked on things earlier.
Given her attitude towards him and his novels, it's highly likely she'll do it.
It's good that we don't run into each other, otherwise Xia Sheng would feel a bit awkward.
"So, all this time, I went on a date with you just to buy my novel?" Natsuki and Shizuka couldn't help but complain as they entered the bookstore.
"You misspoke, it was me who accompanied you on your date," Hiratsuka Shizuka corrected.
"What's the difference?"
"There's not much difference, but it's very important."

"Don't be so discouraged. I came here to buy your novel and boost your sales. Shouldn't you be happy?"
"My royalties have nothing to do with how much you buy."
"Really?" Hiratsuka Shizuka was unaware of this situation.
"Besides, isn't it Jing-jie who you want to see? Is it really that good?" Xia Sheng glanced at her.
"I...I just bought it for my collection. I've already seen your original manuscript, okay?" Hiratsuka Shizuka retorted.
"Really?" Xia Sheng didn't believe it.
"Of course, I already said I'm here to support you."
"I don't know who it was, but they asked me for the original manuscript before, they couldn't wait to see it."
"Aren't you annoying! I'm leaving!" Hiratsuka Shizuka snapped, grabbing a novel and preparing to leave.
"What's the rush? I'll buy a few too."
Of course, I'll buy a few copies of his novels to give to everyone.
"Of course we're in a hurry! If we're any slower, the students will be here, and it'll be very embarrassing if they see us."
"Alright, alright."
Natsumi took a few books and went to pay for them with Hiratsuka Shizuka.
Shizuka Heike paid for it herself and didn't agree to let him pay for it.
The two bought the novel and quickly left the bookstore, heading towards the parking lot.
"Where do we go next?" Xia Sheng asked.
"Where are you going? Home! What are students doing after school if they don't go home?"
"Is the date over already?"
"What...what else do you want?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked, a little embarrassed.
This kind of date certainly can't be called a date.
"At least get a meal or something, right?"
"Okay, let's go, I'll take you to eat my favorite ramen."
'

After Shizuka Heiwa had a very delicious ramen meal, Natsuo was taken home by her.
This date was more of a party than a date.
I shouldn't have had any expectations after all.
But Xia Sheng decided that he would definitely have a real date with Jing Ke'ai in the future.
This lovely older single woman shouldn't be given away to anyone else.
