Shizuka considered herself to have a rich imagination, but this scene before her, even in a dream, she would never have imagined it.
The Hiratsuka family home was a traditional Japanese house, the old house where her parents lived had been passed down for many years.
Shinnosuke sat in the seat of honor, holding a teacup, with a serious expression.
Her parents were beside him, chatting with him happily. She had never seen her father so happy, and even her mother, who was always very strict with her, was currently covering her mouth and chuckling softly.
"Yo, Shizuka-chan, you've arrived."
"You... why is a brat like you in my house?!"
How should she express this complicated emotion? Shizuka didn't admit that she liked younger types, but that day Shinnosuke suddenly appeared and accompanied her for a heart-to-heart talk, which did indeed move her greatly.
But now Shinnosuke suddenly appeared in her house, and was chatting happily with her parents, making Shizuka completely confused.
"How do you talk to your Uncle Shinnosuke! He's my coach! When Shinnosuke was five years old, I was already learning from him! Whether it's swimming or fishing, he's the number one expert!"
Ryoka immediately became a little displeased hearing Shizuka call Shinnosuke a brat.
"This brat is my student, how could I call him uncle!"
"Ah? Shinnosuke is actually your student? I actually felt you two were a very good match."
Madam Hiratsuka was very disappointed. She didn't expect this interesting young man to be her daughter's student. Initially, she felt that Shinnosuke and her daughter weren't too far apart in age, and perhaps they would be a very good match.
Her daughter's careless character indeed needed a man who could truly control her.
"Ah?" ×2
Shizuka and Ryoka both looked surprised, not expecting Hiratsuka Yukie to say that.
"How could I be a good match with this brat?!"
"No no, we mustn't let Shizuka delay Coach Shinnosuke."
Shizuka looked back at her father with a shocked expression.
"Are you serious?"
"I..." Shizuka pointed at Shinnosuke "...delay him?"
The bald-headed boss's appearance clearly had nothing to do with handsomeness. Shizuka's beauty was entirely inherited from her mother, Yukie.
Yukie looked at her daughter, as if she had seen through everything.
"So, all the men I introduced to Shizuka didn't work out because Shizuka likes younger types, huh?"
"I don't!"
Shizuka looked terrified. If the news that she liked younger types spread, how could she continue to be a teacher! She would definitely be fired from school!
"Younger types are also not allowed! Younger ones are all unreliable!"
Ryoka showed even greater rejection than Shizuka. Hearing his wife's words, his head shook like a rattle toy.
"What's wrong with younger ones? Younger ones have healthy bodies! Unlike some people... claiming to be the boss of a club and the chairman of a company, but in reality!"
The greatest suffering of a middle-aged man was probably his wife's innuendo before bed.
But when one's age was advanced, one was truly powerless! If it weren't for impotence, who would leave a wife as beautiful as a flower at home and go soak in hot springs and fish?
Glaring at Ryoka, Yukie looked at Shinnosuke, her expression becoming much gentler.
"Shinnosuke, I didn't expect you to be Shizuka's student. Judging from your age, you should only be 18?"
"That's right, I'm already a handsome adult."
Yukie secretly observed Shinnosuke from head to toe. A sturdy body, defined muscle lines, and bright eyes. As a wife, she was very satisfied with Shinnosuke. In this regard, she should have a lot in common with Sayuri.
Unfortunately, Shinnosuke was her daughter's student. At least before Shinnosuke graduated, the two of them couldn't possibly be together. After Shinnosuke graduated, Shizuka would truly become an old maid.
As for the jokes Ryoka made, whether becoming sworn brothers or acknowledging Shinnosuke as an adopted son, it was clearly impossible. In that case, the generational order would be completely messed up.
"Indeed very handsome. By the way, why did Shizuka suddenly come home?"
"Miss you guys. Isn't this my home? Am I not allowed to come home whenever I want?"
Shinnosuke's presence beside her, coupled with her mother's words just now, made Shizuka feel very strange.
She absolutely didn't expect Shinnosuke to suddenly appear at her house, and her mother even said that the two of them were a very good match. How could that be!
The responsibility of being a teacher brought a very strong immoral feeling to Shizuka. Dating her own student was clearly strictly prohibited, but just thinking about it already felt very exciting! What was going on?
The immoral and embarrassed feeling made Shizuka not even dare to look at Shinnosuke.
'This brat is really annoying, how did he end up at my house?'
Hearing her father say that the two of them had known each other since Shinnosuke was five years old, if only she had known him earlier, she would definitely have educated this brat properly and corrected his character!
Shizuka also sat down, looking at him very unhappily.
Shinnosuke looked at Shizuka, then looked at Ryoka, feeling he had found the key to the problem.
This Boss Ryoka seemed to care too much about his daughter, especially when Yukie talked about blind dates, Ryoka was very opposed to them.
Perhaps the reason why Shizuka always failed her blind dates wasn't just her character problem, but was also very related to this bald-headed boss.
"I said Shizuka-chan, why did you suddenly come home? Was it because your blind date failed again?"
"I didn't go on a blind date at all this week! The other party canceled it! And call me Hiratsuka-sensei, don't call me Shizuka!"
Shinnosuke calling her Shizuka in front of her parents made Shizuka very embarrassed and angry. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to give him a love tap.
"Ouch!"
Before Shizuka could act, Yukie directly hit Shizuka's head. It seemed Shizuka's iron fist also had a heritage, otherwise how could it penetrate Shinnosuke's defense?
"Be gentler when dealing with boys, haven't I told you many times?"
In front of her mother, Shizuka could only glare fiercely at Shinnosuke, preparing to teach him a lesson tomorrow at school.
"Alright, Shizuka, you come help me prepare the meal."
'What? Me? Prepare the meal?!'
Shizuka opened her mouth wide, not expecting her mother to say that.
Seeing her daughter like this, Yukie was a little helpless. Since she liked someone, even if she wasn't very good at cooking, she should at least pretend to be a little good at it! Didn't she understand this principle? Why was her daughter like this?
