Just like the woman's expression when he ate that burnt sukiyaki five years ago.
Five years have passed, and many things have changed.
This also created a distance between the two.
soon.
The sukiyaki is almost empty, revealing a smiling face at the bottom of the bowl.
But Yukino Yukari still didn't look up; she kept her head down for a long time.
It wasn't until Aoba got up to clear away the tableware and lifted the curtain to enter the kitchen that she finally spoke:
"Aoba... are you still blaming me?"
The woman's voice was extremely low.
Five years ago, I coldly distanced myself from everything about him, and didn't even attend my graduation ceremony.
She even stripped herself of all traces from Aoba's life.
It was all to escape the strange looks from the world.
The relationship between teachers and students... is ultimately not something that is acceptable to the public.
Five years ago, she was an adult and Aoba was a child. She had to think about their future.
"Complaining or something..."
Aoba, with her back to Yukino Yukari, remained silent for a while before slowly speaking.
"Maybe at the time, but I was focused on opening a small shop so I didn't pay much attention to it. I was just a little curious..."
His words lacked much emotion.
It's like narrating a very ordinary thing.
"And didn't I never go back to school to see you after that?"
As she spoke, Aoba smiled.
He no longer cares about those things from before.
Even when Yukino Yukari went missing five years ago, he was mentally prepared and did not try to find an answer by committing suicide.
Life is like a journey, and we are all just passing through.
Cherishing the people in front of him is perhaps more important to him.
"So you turned down the admission offer from Kyoto University!?"
Yukino Yukari suddenly raised her voice after hearing what Aoba had said.
His voice suddenly became hoarse and strained.
"It's all because of me, so why did you give up such a great opportunity!?"
Perhaps if he gets into Peking University, he'll meet someone even better.
You don't need to remember me.
He deserved a better life.
Yukino Yukari was crying her eyes out at that moment.
Qingye listened to the hoarse crying and did not answer for a moment.
He knew that what Yukino needed right now was to vent her emotions.
I simply left the tap running, letting the water flow through my fingers.
Moonlight streamed down onto the kitchen window sill.
He looked up, dried his hands, and walked out of the kitchen.
Yukino Yukari had stopped crying and was just sobbing silently in her seat.
Lu I Qi Yi VIIIIV Ba's originally exquisite makeup was also ruined by tears.
Like a little kitten.
Aoba quietly walked up to her and stood beside her.
"Teacher Yukino."
He spoke.
"..."
"I'm no longer a student, so why should I use the same methods I use on students to 'do what's best for you'?"
Aoba sighed.
Seeing that the woman seemed to be holding her breath, he pulled a tissue from the table and handed it to her.
"I chose the path I wanted to choose."
He looked at Yukino Yukari seriously: "It doesn't matter if it goes against people's common sense and ethics."
Chapter 71 Esdeath Delivers the Betrothal Gifts! An Unknown Dragon Girl!!!
The words fell.
Yukino Yukari stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning, looking up at Aoba with bloodshot eyes.
"So teacher, you shouldn't blame yourself too much."
Aoba looked at the other person and suddenly smiled.
Suddenly
Tears welled up in Yukino Yukari's eyes again, and her sobbing echoed throughout the shop.
She suddenly reached out and hugged Qingye tightly, then buried her face in Qingye's stomach and cried loudly.
It was as if she was venting her self-blame and pain over the years.
Aoba could only gently hug and comfort her; at that moment, he seemed more like a teacher than Yukino.
At this moment, age and social status are irrelevant.
Yukino Yukari vents her emotions like a helpless child.
Until the apron in front of Aoba was completely soaked.
The loud crying gradually subsided until finally the soft sobs disappeared without a trace.
"Are you feeling better?"
Aoba released Yukino's hand, took two steps back, and asked.
"..."
Yukino Yukari wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and resumed her teacherly demeanor:
"Sorry, I made you laugh."
"Yeah, I wish we could see more jokes like this."
"what?!"
"Haha, I always think of joking around when I'm with Teacher Ye."
Aoba chuckled twice, warming up the atmosphere once again.
He kept quiet and didn't mention what had just happened again.
"How can you joke about a teacher like that?"
Although there were still traces of tears on Bai Xiangli's face, the smile on her lips showed that she was already very relaxed.
The five years of self-blame finally ended on the day he met Aoba.
I won't say I'm at peace with it...
But seeing that Aoba was living a good life always made him feel better.
"Aoba..."
"Ok?"
"If... we had attended the graduation ceremony that time, would you... still have chosen to open this little shop?"
Bai Xiangli lowered her head, holding her teacup, her tone hesitant.
She ultimately couldn't bring herself to feel at ease.
Especially in front of his most prized student... and the boys.
Aoba didn't think too much about it.
He knew that Yukino Yukari had this kind of personality, or that mature women of this age are all like this?
He simply smiled and nodded:
"It will."
Even if Yukino Yukari appears at the graduation ceremony, he will still choose this path.
"Is that so?
Yukino Yukari smiled with her head down.
Then he suddenly looked up and stared intently at Qingye.
"Then this time... it's my turn."
Her eyes were exceptionally firm, as if she had made up her mind.
He was exceptionally decisive where he couldn't be seen from behind Aoba's back!
Yukino Yukari still left.
However, before leaving, she gave Aoba her new phone number and address.
Toyozaki Academy.
