The sudden resignation was 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 that Mr. Ninomiya is being bullied in the workplace?"
Some people are making bold guesses.
"Hush! Do you want to die? Talk like that."
Hearing this, his friends hurried to stop him.
In today's Japan, no matter what kind of workplace it is, contempt and unfair treatment of women are prevalent.
The reason for this is that during the bubble era at the end of the last century, feminism was prevalent, but it was also hit and declined.
During the bubble era, the social status of Japanese women reached its highest peak in history.
But everything that rises must fall; the higher you stand, the harder you fall.
As the bubble burst, women also fell from the clouds to the bottom of the valley.
In today's era, the workplace is generally dominated by men. It is very difficult for women to enter senior workplaces. Even if they do enter, there is a high possibility of being harassed in the workplace when there are more men than women.
Having said that, if a workplace harassment scandal broke out at a world-renowned university like the University of Tokyo, it would be a serious problem.
There are many different opinions about the reasons for the resignation, but no one can give a possible basis for belief, only conjectures.
In the classroom, there was only one person who had an idea, and that was Kurosawa Hikaru.
"It's not even the Kyudo Tournament yet. Isn't it irrational for her to do this? Can my words have such a huge impact on her?"
But even Kurosawa Mitsuru was shocked by the news for a long time and found it difficult to accept it.
In fact, when they went traveling together before, he vaguely felt that Ninomiya Chizuru didn't really like being a teacher.
Perhaps she has a very high social status and a generous salary, but she became a teacher not out of personal pursuit, but simply to escape the control of her parents.
As long as she is given an opportunity, such as the rise of Zero Hour, a firm in which she participated in a large investment, and can use her performance to completely curb her parents' gossip, she will definitely resign without hesitation.
But now, the firm has not officially taken off, and has not even signed any sky-high contracts, but she suddenly resigned.
Ninomiya Chizuru made this choice for him. Faced with a sense of crisis, she resolutely chose to resign.
But by doing so, she would be pushing herself into a dead end.
"Is she such an irrational person..."
While thinking, Kurosawa Mitsuru was also a little surprised.
In his opinion, Chizuru Ninomiya is a very smart, rational, mature person who keeps her thoughts and impulses deep in her heart and is calm and composed.
As someone who is capable of being a teacher of economics and a senior who graduated from the University of Tokyo, every move she makes should be carefully calculated, and she would only take action after weighing the pros and cons.
In short, she would never behave like a gambler who would risk everything at any cost.
"What on earth was she thinking?"
Puzzled, Kurosawa Hikaru suddenly felt that Miss Ninomiya was very strange.
Her behavior was out of control and illogical, and it was impossible to guess what she was thinking and planning.
Such an extreme action made him worried, even an indescribable sense of heaviness, and made him afraid that she would do something else extreme.
The work of the following teachers is similar, either assigning homework or reminding everyone to be aware of their identity as Tokyo University students during the summer vacation.
With the arrival of lunch break, all disciplines at the University of Tokyo have officially started their summer vacation.
Following the large group out of the classroom, Kurosawa Mitsuru also went downstairs and soon reached the first floor and walked out of the economics teaching building.
However, when he walked out of the teaching building and towards the school gate, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated and made a sound.
Realizing this, Kurosawa Hikaru took out his cell phone and saw that it was a message from Ninomiya Chizuru.
"Kurosawa, you don't have to worry about me anymore."
Seeing this message, Kurosawa Mitsuru was stunned.
Somewhere 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, Chizuru Ninomiya was standing there looking at himself.
There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but there was no strange expression on her face. Her ice-blue eyes were very bright in the shadows of the building.
It's a scary feeling to look back and find someone staring at you... even if she's smiling.
Even Kurosawa Hikaru, under this scorching summer sun, couldn't help but feel a tingling scalp and a chill on his back.
"What does she mean by that?"
At this moment, Kurosawa Mitsuru really couldn't figure out what was going on in her mind.
However, the two people staring at each other from a distance did not last long.
This time, Ninomiya Chizuru was the first to retract her gaze and turned away.
She was holding a large cardboard box in her hands, which contained her personal belongings during her time working at the University of Tokyo, which meant that she had really resigned and was not joking.
"Kurosawa, are you waiting for me?"
Just then, someone came from behind and patted him on the shoulder. Miyazaki Yuta was a little surprised.
"yes."
Because he spoke first and then took the photo, Kurosawa Mitsuru was not scared. He recovered and nodded accordingly.
"What's wrong? You look so pale. Is the resignation of Mr. Ninomiya such a big blow to you?"
Yuta Miyazaki walked up to him and saw his profile, feeling a little confused.
"A little bit."
Realizing that he looked a little bad, Kurosawa Hikaru nodded again.
"Let's go. I hope that after Mr. Ninomiya resigns, he can be happy. Being a teacher is tiring anyway. This is a relief."
Seeing how depressed he was, Yuta Miyazaki reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling him forward and comforting him.
Teachers in Japan have a high social status and are respected, but this is also recognized as one of the most tiring jobs in Japan, and the average working hours per week are exaggerated.
The two walked side by side out of the school.
"During the summer vacation, I may encounter some relationship problems. When the time comes, I will send you a message for help. But remember to reply to me."
"no problem."
Although Kurosawa Mitsuru was worried, he still agreed to his request.
Soon, they parted ways because they were going home in different directions.
Taking the tram and walking along the way, as usual, Kurosawa Hikaru returned home.
"She told me not to worry about her... Why did she say that?"
At the entrance, Kurosawa Mitsuru put down his schoolbag, took out his mobile phone again and looked at the message, feeling confused.
Could it be that she guessed that I had another woman and didn't care
It's unrealistic to think like this. She is so jealous, how could she accept it so easily
What's more, the day of the Kyudo Competition has not yet arrived and the truth has not yet been revealed.
But it was precisely because the truth had not yet been revealed that Ninomiya Chizuru took such extreme action and resigned directly, so he couldn't understand it.
What's more, she reminded herself in the classroom that she had already broken free from the constraints of her identity as a teacher, and from now on she would be a senior student.
"I can't figure it out... Should I contact her? But what can I say?"
"Should I ask Miss Runa? No way... She once praised me for being loyal. If she knew that I was actually a playboy, I don't know how she would react."
"Forget it, let's go to the dojo and practice archery."
After having many thoughts but no solution, Kurosawa Mitsuru picked up another shoulder bag from the locker at the entrance and set off again without resting at home.
As he left the apartment, he headed outward.
A head suddenly popped out from the side of the first floor and watched him leave.
This person was wearing sunglasses and a mask, but had long wavy golden hair.
If Kurosawa Hikaru saw her, even if she was heavily disguised, he would be able to recognize her at a glance: she was Yuki.
Yuki Ichinose didn't walk out of the apartment door until she saw Kurosawa Hikaru's back, and then she felt relieved.
However, she did not follow him. Instead, she walked to the elevator, pressed the button, entered, and then pressed the button for the fifth floor.
"bite!"
As the elevator rose and moved, it made a crisp sound when it reached the fifth floor.
After walking out of the elevator, Yuki Ichinose looked around and started walking.
Every time she passed a door, she would look at the house number next to it.
Residents of Neon sometimes hang nameplates next to their doors for the purpose of receiving mail and correspondence.
After a thorough search, Yuki Ichinose saw a familiar surname in the corner.
"Hei Ze, this is Guang Ge's home."
Yuki Ichinose took off her sunglasses and looked at the closed door in front of her. She felt a little excited and a strong sense of security.
After two days, she finally found Brother Guang's home address.
In fact, she went to Todai yesterday.
However, there were too many gates of Dongda University. She failed in the first gate she chose to wait in, as she was unable to wait for Brother Guang to come out.
After failing once, she did not get discouraged. She checked online and found out that students from the University of Tokyo usually leave the school through the main gate because public transportation is the most convenient, so she went to the main gate today.
The huge rock hanging in her heart was finally relieved when she learned the home address.
"Brother Guang... I'm sorry, I don't want to follow you, but if I don't know where you live, I'm really afraid that you will suddenly disappear from my world one day."
Yuki Ichinose couldn't help but raise her hand and stroke the word "Kurosawa" on the doorplate, feeling both guilty and excited.
After thinking it over, she felt that this was still not enough, so she took out her mobile phone and operated it.
At the same time, Kurosawa Hikaru, who was hailing a taxi, received a message.
Yuki: "I'm sorry, Hikaru."
"Oh, why does she keep apologizing?"
Under the scorching sun, when Kurosawa Mitsuru saw such thoughts, he felt very cold and guilty inside.
Unlike Miss Ninomiya, Yuki was very well behaved and did not take any action. She only sent him messages on her phone.
However, the more obedient she was, the more tormented Kurosawa Hikaru felt inside, and the more he felt sorry for her.
"Let's go to the dojo and shoot arrows."
After thinking about it, Kurosawa Hikaru did not reply to the message, but successfully hailed a taxi and set off.
Archery in preparation for the Kyudo competition helps him calm down.
Finally, the summer vacation is successfully over, and Shifengyuan will return to his family in the future, so he cannot go to the Zhuifeng Dojo.
In the next few days, Kurosawa Hikaru practiced and cultivated his mind with Sato Shinichi in the archery field.
Indulging in spiritual practice can help distract your attention and pass the time.
In the blink of an eye, it was August 10th and the National University Kyudo Competition was here.
