Chapter 62
In the end, Shizuka Hiratsuka managed to suppress her shyness and did not run away, but she lowered her head and dared not look Gojo Satoru in the eye.
Seeing Shizuka Hiratsuka's reaction, Gojo Satoru's mouth corners slightly raised.
So cute, Shizuka.
Gojo Satoru stretched out his hands and hugged Shizuka Hiratsuka tightly in his arms.
"Hey, Xiaojing, I know you are hesitating because of the difference between teachers and students, and the seven-year gap, which makes you feel very entangled. But it doesn't matter......."
"If you have any concerns about these, I can resolutely choose to drop out of school. In this way, we are no longer a teacher-student relationship, but only the insignificant seven-year age difference."
"As a fellow practitioner, you should know that time flies. For us, aging is not an insurmountable barrier. Moreover, with my current strength, immortality is not out of reach. So, Xiaojing, you don't need to worry......."
"Or... could it be that Xiao Jing doesn't love me?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka's heart seemed to be violently hit by every word of Gojo Satoru, and her heartbeat became more and more rapid.
She tried her best to calm the turbulent waves in her heart, but the shy blush on her cheeks exposed her true feelings.
She slowly raised her head and wanted to respond, but the moment she met Gojo Satoru's firm eyes, all the words were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a word.
"You said it lightly, but... can you really give up all this?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka finally spoke, her voice trembling slightly. Gojo
Satoru's eyes became more gentle, and he gently stroked her hair and said softly:
"Xiaojing, I have never been someone who gives up easily. You know, I have always been like this. If this relationship requires me to make some sacrifices, then I am willing to do so."
Yuigahama Yui and Kato Megumi were stunned, and they had never expected that things would develop to this point.
They stared with their eyes wide open and their mouths slightly open, as if they were frozen.
Yuigahama Yui asked timidly:
"Then... Mr. Hiratsuka, what do you think?"
There was a hint of expectation and nervousness in her voice.
Shizuka Hiratsuka took a deep breath and turned to look at the group of students who cared about her, her eyes full of complex emotions.
Her gaze stayed on each person for a moment, as if looking for some answer.
Finally, her gaze returned to Gojo Satoru and met his eyes.
She knew that she could no longer escape and had to face her heart and reality.
Shizuka Hiratsuka's slightly trembling lips slowly opened and said frankly:
"I... have actually been avoiding my own feelings. I am afraid to face the eyes of society and the uncertainty of the future. But now, I have figured it out. Maybe we should be brave once."
Although her voice was not loud, it was full of firmness and determination.
After saying this, a faint smile appeared on Shizuka Hiratsuka's face.
This smile contained both the relief of the past and the expectation for the future.
She looked at Gojo Satoru with a gleam in her eyes, as if telling him:
Let us face it bravely together! A gratified smile appeared on Gojo Satoru's face, and he gently held Shizuka Hiratsuka's hand.
"Thank you, Xiaojing, for giving us a chance."
Gojo Satoru gently held Hiratsuka Shizuka's hand, his eyes were affectionate and firm.
Hiratsuka Shizuka felt his warmth, and the tension and uneasiness in her heart seemed to dissipate a little.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Gojo Satoru slowly raised his hand, and his fingertips gently touched Hiratsuka Shizuka's cheek. He gently held her face in his palm, his eyes full of affection and care.
Hiratsuka Shizuka felt his warmth and firmness, and the tension and uneasiness in her heart seemed to dissipate a little
"Xiaojing,"
Gojo Satoru's voice was low and gentle.
"Do you know? From the moment we met, I knew you were special. No matter how uncertain the future is, I am willing to face it with you."
Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes were slightly moist. She felt Gojo Satoru's sincerity and determination, and the long-suppressed emotions in her heart were finally released.
She nodded gently, with a hint of shyness and determination in her eyes.
Gojo Satoru's face slowly approached, and Hiratsuka Shizuka's heartbeat faster and faster. She closed her eyes and felt his warm breath.
When their lips finally touched, time seemed to stand still.
This kiss was so gentle and affectionate, as if all the emotions between them were poured into it.
Yukinoshita Haruno and others looked at the scene in front of them, with various complex expressions on their faces. Gojo
Satoru and Hiratsuka Shizuka's kiss lasted for a moment, and they slowly separated, with a hint of reluctance and sweetness in each other's eyes.
Gojo Satoru gently stroked Hiratsuka Shizuka's soft and smooth cheek, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle and doting smile, and whispered:
"Xiao Jing, no matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side, protecting you and cherishing you, and will never let anyone or anything hurt you in the slightest."
Hearing Gojo Satoru's words, Hiratsuka Jing felt a warm feeling in her heart. She also responded with a sweet smile, and truly felt the relief and happiness in her heart that she had not felt for a long time.
Her beautiful eyes stared at Gojo Satoru and she responded softly:
"Thank you, Satoru. I really appreciate your willingness to accompany me to face all the difficulties and challenges together.
Gojo Satoru looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with deep affection in his eyes, and he spoke again:
"I should be the one thanking you, Xiaojing. It is my greatest happiness to be able to walk side by side with you and experience every bit of life together."
"From now on, please give me your guidance, Mrs. Gojo~"
When Shizuka Hiratsuka heard Gojo Satoru address her, her face flushed with shyness, but she still nodded firmly and replied:
"I will take good care of you, too, Wu. Please take good care of me!"
After saying that, the two smiled at each other, and the tacit understanding and love between them were beyond words. Just when the two were affectionate and loving, Yuigahama Yui on the side looked at the two happy people, and she didn't know what she thought of. She only felt that her face was getting redder and redder, like a ripe apple.
She lowered her head in a panic, not daring to look at them again, but her heart seemed to have countless little rabbits jumping around, making her restless.
After a while, Yuigahama Yui finally plucked up the courage to raise her head, but when she saw Gojo Satoru's eyes, she seemed to be suddenly frightened, and said with a evasive look:
"Then... Mr. Hiratsuka has agreed to your relationship, so will Gojo's next target be Yukino-chan, or Yukino-chan's sister? Or Kato-san?"
"Um... I want to ask, is Gojo-san serious about me too?"
After saying this, Yuigahama Yui's face turned even redder, as if it was about to bleed. Her heart was beating like crazy, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
Yuigahama Yui's words instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Being looked at like this by everyone, Yuigahama Yui lowered her head in shame.
"Um, is there something wrong?"
