Chapter 228 August 10

Sudden resignation is like a bucket of cold water, dampening many people's enthusiasm for summer vacation.

However, life has to go on. Although everyone felt sorry for a while, people's attention soon shifted to why Chizuru Ninomiya resigned.

"Could it be because Mr. Ninomiya was bullied in the workplace?"

Some people are making bold speculations.

"Shh! You don't want your life? You're talking nonsense."

After hearing this, his friend quickly stopped him.

In today's neon world, no matter what kind of workplace, contempt and unfair treatment of women are common.

The reason why this is so is because in the bubble era at the end of the last century, women's rights were prevalent and then fell.

In the bubble era, the social status of neon women reached the highest peak in history.

But what goes up must come down. The higher you stand, the more painful your fall will be.

As the bubble burst, women also fell from the clouds to the bottom.

In today's era, most workplaces are dominated by men. It is very difficult for women to enter high-level workplaces. Even if they do, the possibility of being harassed in the workplace is very high when there are more men than women.

.

Having said that, if a workplace harassment scandal breaks out at a world-renowned university like Tokyo University, the problem will be serious.

There are different opinions about the reason for resignation, but no one can give a solid possibility, it is just a guess.

There was only one person in the classroom who had any idea, and that was Hikaru Kurosawa.

"This has not even reached the archery competition. Isn't it too irrational for her to do this? Are my words so damaging to her?"

But even Kurosawa Hikaru was shocked by the news for a long time and could not let go.

In fact, when they traveled together before, he had a vague feeling that Ninomiya Chizuru didn't really like being a teacher.

Perhaps her social status is extremely high and her salary is generous, but her becoming a teacher is not out of personal pursuit, it is just a way to escape from the control of her parents.

As long as she is given a chance, such as the rise of a small-time firm in which she participated in large investments, and can completely curb her parents' talk with her performance, she will definitely resign without hesitation.

But now, before the firm has officially taken off, or even signed a sky-high contract, she suddenly resigned.

Chizuru Ninomiya made this choice for him. Faced with a sense of crisis, she resolutely chose to resign.

But in doing so, she was no less than forcing herself to a dead end.

"Did she turn out to be such an irrational person..."

While thinking about it, Kurosawa Hikaru was also a little shocked in his heart.

In his opinion, Ninomiya Chizuru is a very smart, rational, and mature person who suppresses her thoughts and impulses deep in her heart, and is calm and collected.

She has the ability to be an economics teacher and is a senior who graduated from Tokyo University. Every move she makes should be calculated and made after weighing the pros and cons before taking action.

In short, she will never behave like a gambler who wants to bet everything at all costs.

"What on earth was she thinking?"

Puzzled, Kurosawa Hikaru suddenly felt that Miss Ninomiya was strange.

Her behavior was out of control and illogical, making it impossible to guess her thoughts and plans.

Such an extreme action made him worried, even an indescribable heavy feeling, making people afraid that she would do other extreme things.

The next teachers had similar tasks, either assigning homework or reminding everyone to know their status as Dongda students during the summer vacation.

With the arrival of lunch break, various subjects at Tokyo University are officially on summer vacation.

Following the large group of students out of the classroom, Kurosawa Hikaru also went all the way downstairs. Soon he arrived on the first floor and walked out of the economics department teaching building.

However, when he walked out of the teaching building and walked towards the school gate, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated and made a sound.

Realizing this, Kurosawa Hikaru took out his cell phone and took a look and found that it was a message from Ninomiya Chizuru.

"Kurosawa, you don't have to worry about me anymore."

Seeing such a message, Kurosawa Hikaru was stunned.

In the dark, he felt a very strong gaze, and couldn't help but look back.

Behind a window on the side of the second floor, Ninomiya Chizuru stood looking at herself.

There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but there was no abnormality in her expression. Her ice-blue eyes were very bright in the shadow of the building.

It's scary to suddenly look back and find someone staring at you...even if she is smiling.

Even if it is Kurosawa Hikaru, under this bright summer sun, it is inevitable to have a numb scalp and chills on the back.

"What does she mean?"

At this moment, Kurosawa Hikaru really couldn't figure out what was going on in her mind.

However, the two people looked at each other from afar, which did not last long.

This time, Ninomiya Chizuru took the lead to retract her gaze, turned and walked away.

She was also holding a large cardboard box in her hand, which was her personal belongings while working at Tokyo University, which meant that she had really resigned and was not joking.

"Kurosawa, are you waiting for me?"

At this moment, someone came from behind and patted his shoulder. Yuta Miyazaki was a little surprised.

"yes."

Because he spoke first and then filmed, Kurosawa Hikaru was not frightened, calmed down, and nodded along with the flow.

"What's wrong? Your face is so pale. Did Teacher Ninomiya's resignation bring such a big blow to you?"

Miyazaki Yuta walked up to him and saw his side face, a little puzzled.

"A little bit."

Realizing that he looked a little bad, Kurosawa Hikaru nodded again.

"Let's go. I hope that Teacher Ninomiya will be happy after resigning. Anyway, being a teacher is quite tiring, so I feel relieved."

Seeing his sluggish look, Miyazaki Yuta reached out and grabbed his arm, pulled him forward, and comforted him.

Teachers in Neon have a high social status and are respected, but they are also recognized as one of the most tiring jobs in Neon. The average working hours per week is exaggerated.

The two walked side by side and walked out of the school.

"During the summer vacation, I may encounter love problems. I will send you a message to ask for help, but remember to reply to me."

"no problem."

Although Kurosawa Hikaru was worried, he agreed to him.

Soon, they parted ways because they were going home in different directions.

Riding the tram and walking all the way, Kurosawa Hikaru returned home as usual.

"She told me not to worry about her...why did she say that?"

At the entrance, Kurosawa Hikaru put down his schoolbag, took out his phone again and looked at the message, feeling confused.

Could it be that she guessed that I have another woman and doesn't care?

It's unrealistic to think like this. With her jealous personality, how could she accept it so easily?

What's more, the day of the archery competition has not yet come, and the truth has not yet been revealed.

But just because the truth has not yet been revealed, Chizuru Ninomiya took such an extreme action and resigned directly, so he couldn't figure it out.

What's more, she reminded herself in the classroom that she had broken free from the shackles of her identity as a teacher, and from now on she would be a senior.

"I can't figure it out...should I contact her? But what can I say?"

"Should I ask Miss Runa? No way... She even praised me for being very devoted. If she knew that I was actually a playboy, I don't know what her reaction would be."

"Forget it, let's go to the dojo to shoot arrows."

After thinking a lot but having no solution, Kurosawa Hikaru picked up another satchel on the locker in the entrance and set off again before resting at home.

As he left the apartment, he walked outward.

On the side of the first floor, a head suddenly appeared and watched him leave.

This person wears sunglasses and a mask, but has long wavy golden hair.

If Kurosawa Hikaru saw her, he would be able to recognize her at a glance, even though she was heavily disguised. She was Yuki-chan.

Ichinose Yuki didn't feel relieved until he saw Kurosawa Hikaru's back, walked out of the apartment door, and turned the corner.

However, she didn't follow him. Instead, she walked to the elevator, pressed the button, entered it, and then pressed the button for the fifth floor.

"Ding!"

As the elevator rose and moved, it made a crisp sound after reaching the fifth floor.

After getting out of the elevator, Yuki Ichinose looked around and started walking.
