Chapter 113: Nian
After the morning classes ended,
"Mr. Kevin, are you really not planning to stay here?"
The head teacher, a kind woman wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, asked with a tone of regret.
She had originally thought that this person, whom the county magistrate had instructed to give special attention to, was just here to gild his resume. So when Fiammetta brought up the matter,
she had simply agreed without much thought.
Unexpectedly, although this person's personality seemed a bit cold, his teaching effectiveness was surprisingly good.
"No need. I... am not suited for this job."
"Actually, in my opinion, you have great potential in this field."
The head teacher's attitude was sincere, but Kevin was clearly determined to leave. His experiences were too heavy; he would not be a good teacher.
"Director, please don't make things difficult for Kevin. Once he has an idea, no one can change it."
"You, you... That's not what you said when you called me last night."
The director shook her head and sighed. It hadn't even been half a day, and she was already betraying her comrade.
Ah, love truly makes people blind.
"Hehehe, well then, I'm off work too, Director. I wish you a pleasant lunchtime."
Fiammetta gave a charming smile. Faced with such a polite and gentle junior, even the strictest person would find it hard to harbor ill will.
"Go on, go on."
"Let's go, Kevin."
......
A handsome man and a beautiful woman walked down the street but didn't attract much attention.
It wasn't the peak tourist season. Gouwu City didn't have many tourists. Everyone was familiar with each other, so it wasn't surprising.
"Kevin, what are you thinking about?"
Fiammetta held Kevin's arm and, noticing he seemed distracted, couldn't help but ask softly.
"You said something earlier that wasn't right."
He squeezed Pozëmka's hand, their fingers interlocking tightly.
"Huh? Could it be that Kevin, you actually still want to be a teacher with me?"
Did I just mess things up then? She felt a bit annoyed with herself. Pozëmka, oh Pozëmka, why did you have to interrupt when someone else was talking?
"No. You said 'no one can change my mind.'"
Kevin shook his head. His free hand reached up and rubbed the perky wolf ears. The warm gesture made Fiammetta's inner annoyance vanish without a trace.
She opened her eyes somewhat puzzled: "Isn't that so?"
"Pozëmka, changing my mind... you've already done that. And not just once."
He had never imagined that the pitiful pink-haired wolf he "picked up" on the snowy plains back then would accompany him for such a long time.
To the extent that she had a significant influence on him personally.
"You can be more confident."
Feeling Kevin's incredibly gentle action and the encouraging look he gave her, Pozëmka's little mouth gradually formed an "o" shape.
What's going on with her big ice block today? His words are so sweet? Has he finally become enlightened, or has she finally warmed him up?
"Kevin, are you okay?"
She reached out somewhat worriedly and touched his forehead. It was cool to the touch; he didn't seem sick.
"......"
"Pfft, alright~ just a little joke from a girl~ Don't be mad at me, okay?"
Seeing Kevin fall silent, she chuckled lightly, stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck, and under Kevin's gradually freezing gaze,
like a dragonfly skimming the water, her tender pink lips briefly touched his cheek and then parted, leaving a slightly damp mark.
"Mmm, consider it a little reward and compensation for you."
Fiammetta propped her chin up with a slender finger, her little tongue licking the corner of her mouth as if savoring the moment just now. Not bad at all; the taste of an ice block is quite nice.
But the tips of her ears hidden within her hair were flushed red. Clearly, her heart wasn't as calm as it appeared on the surface.
"You."
Kevin wanted to say something.
"Alright, I know, Kevin. Actually, you don't dislike it, right? After all, if you wanted to avoid it, I definitely couldn't catch up to you~"
Pozëmka let out a long sigh of relief. Actually, thinking back, her action just now was quite risky. She was very worried whether her move might cause Kevin to dislike her.
"I don't dislike it."
He thought for a moment and then nodded.
Regarding his own feelings, Kevin was always straightforward.
"But......"
"No buts! Come on, let's go home!"
Pozëmka tried hard to show her "domineering" side, but the expression on her face only made her seem adorable.
"Heh."
——————
Creak——
By the time the two returned home together, it was already noon.
The scorching sun hung high in the sky, but Pozëmka standing beside Kevin couldn't feel any heat at all.
As the two passed through the corridor and walked by that ink door,
Splat! Plop!
A small black-and-white creature flew out from the ink door, splattering ink all over the floor. The splashing ink droplets were suppressed by a gentle breeze and didn't stain their pants.
"Gah!"
The little thing fell to the ground and cried out. It was unclear whether such a strange creature even felt pain.
Then Ah Yao seemed to notice Kevin and quickly crawled over using all four limbs, waving its arms and legs as if trying to express something.
"Gah... Gah!"
"?"
Fiammetta's expression gradually turned confused. What exactly was Xi's pet trying to say?
"You're saying someone 'broke' in and is fighting with Xi?"
"Gah!"
Seeing that Kevin understood its meaning, Ah Yao quickly nodded and made an approving sound.
He could actually understand it?!
Watching the smooth communication between this man and beast, Fiammetta didn't understand it, but she was greatly shocked.
Plop! Gurgle——
Suddenly, the ink door on the wall began to tremble. One bubble after another bulged out.
Crack!
The moment an ice wall condensed, the ink door instantly exploded. The moment countless ink droplets were about to shoot out in all directions, they were intercepted and frozen into icy shards.
"You go back first. Take it with you."
Kevin pointed at Ah Yao who was trembling with fear.
"Gah?"
"Mmm. Then be careful, Kevin."
Fiammetta appeared very calm. After softly reminding him, she casually pinched Ah Yao's fatal scruff and lifted it up,
carrying it towards the kitchen area.
Kevin stayed behind, placing one hand on the spot where the ink door had been.
Even though Xi's method had already failed, he wasn't without his own means.
In those sky-blue pupils, the residual traces in space were laid bare. An invisible hand seemed to piece together those fragments, reassembling them into trajectories.
Crack——
Kevin took a step forward. From the perspective of the Imaginary Tree, the courtyard wall before him shattered like glass piece by piece until he completely stepped through. Then it instantly healed as if nothing had happened.
Outside the courtyard wall, aside from the remaining ice shards and ink droplets, there wasn't a single trace left.
"Hahaha! How's the power of my newly designed giant double-kick firecracker? Eight feet long and three feet wide! Detonated using technology Terra has never seen before!"
A woman with white hair all over her head wore a white outer garment with a red tube top and shorts that accentuated her hot figure as she stood in the sky.
She laughed heartily while standing on clouds of flame beneath her feet.
"You actually... burned my painting!"
That was Xi's voice. Kevin could recognize it. And she sounded very angry.
