Chapter 108: 50 Shizuka Hiratsuka's Professional Ethics
The feast that Machida Sonoko mentioned was actually quite good. Although it was not a particularly expensive dish, it was not cheap either. An average family might not eat it once every one or two months.
At the same time, they would drink alcohol while eating.
But Hasegawa never drank alcohol. He did not like the spicy taste of alcohol, and because he had died of cancer some time ago, although drinking alcohol and cancer were not closely related, Hasegawa successfully quit drinking and smoking after traveling through time.
After all, probably everyone knew that alcohol and tobacco were not good things, but once you got addicted, you could not quit at all. Now that you have a chance to start over, you probably won't touch these two things again.
On the one hand, Hasegawa did not want to drink alcohol, and on the other hand, Hasegawa was not old enough to drink alcohol, so in the end, although Machida Sonoko and the others were regretful, they did not get Hasegawa to drink alcohol.
After dinner, Hasegawa patted his butt and walked in. As for Machida Sonoko's invitation to Hasegawa to sing, he still refused.
After all, many people in the group drank a lot and were a little drunk. If they went to sing and drank more while singing, Hasegawa, who never drank, might be the one who suffered in the end.
Hasegawa refused to sing. If the protagonist didn't go, it would be a bit inappropriate for others to go. So in the end, Machida Sonoko and the others could only regretfully end today's activities. After all, it was only today, and they would go to work tomorrow. As for overtime? This kind of thing is also a normal thing for them. Otherwise, how could this kind of people be called office animals?
Hasegawa took the tram home, but before he got home, his mobile phone vibrated.
Taking out his mobile phone and seeing the caller ID, Hasegawa frowned slightly.
"Hiratsuka-sensei? What can I do for you? You're calling me at this time. Are your parents going to invite me to your home again? But I have to make it clear in advance that if it's such a request, please allow me to refuse." After answering the phone, Hasegawa took the initiative and said bluntly.
Hasegawa didn't forget that Yukinoshita Haruno had said before that Shizuka Hiratsuka's mother called her mother and invited him to visit her on the weekend.
"You--" Shizuka Hiratsuka was choked by Hasegawa's words: "Humph, don't worry, I won't tell you such a thing. Where are you now? Come out and drink with me when you have time."
"Hiratsuka-sensei, I'm sorry, I'm not yet of legal age to drink, so forget about drinking." Hasegawa raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly. Sure enough, he knew that his words just now worked.
"Of course I know you are young and your hair hasn't grown yet. I asked you to drink with me, not for you, but for me. You just accompanied me." Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice was a little angry.
"Sorry, Hiratsuka-sensei, please allow me to refuse this request. To be honest, I don't like women who drink. They smell of alcohol all over their bodies and may even get drunk. It's very troublesome." Hasegawa said bluntly.
"Who do I care if you like women who drink? Who are you? Why do I need you to care?"
"So, you also said that I am not yours, so don't look for me when you drink."
"You-you guy, forget it, I won't drink, but I have something to ask you now, please come over." Hiratsuka Shizuka said angrily on the other end of the phone.
"You need me for something?"
"Yes, it's about that Haruno. She called me today and said that you told her that you were a high school student? What on earth are you thinking? Why did you spread such things everywhere? And you told Haruno." Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice was a little annoyed.
"Uh, Hiratsuka-sensei, actually, it wasn't me who told her, but she found out the truth." Hasegawa felt a little headache. Sure enough, he knew that Yukinoshita Haruno wouldn't let it go so easily.
"Huh? She found out the truth? She had nothing to do and went to you on purpose? And then she found out the truth? Don't talk nonsense. Although that girl has a bad personality, she works overtime at the company most of the time even on weekends. How could she have time to check such things?" Hiratsuka Shizuka knew that Yukinoshita Haruno was usually busy, so she was a little suspicious. Maybe Hasegawa wanted to force the palace, so he told Yukinoshita Haruno on purpose.
It's just forcing her to confess to her parents, or to tell her that she has broken up with Hasegawa.
"It may sound like a coincidence, but it's really a coincidence--"
"You guys, get out of here now, otherwise, you'll be dead on Monday!!!" Shizuka Hiratsuka threatened Hasegawa.
"It's not good for a teacher to threaten a student?"
"If you listen to me, I'll threaten you? Okay, I'm at XX izakaya, you hurry over." Snap. Shizuka Hiratsuka hung up the phone.
Hasegawa couldn't help scratching his head. Sure enough, this is a trouble. If he had known, he shouldn't have given Shizuka Hiratsuka such a bad idea. In the end, he got into trouble and a lot of trouble.
Although Hasegawa didn't take Hiratsuka's words that he would be dead if he didn't go, after all, although Shizuka Hiratsuka was a teacher, what could she do? Could she kill someone? So, Hasegawa went anyway.
After all, it is better to have less trouble than more. In school, teachers are the most important. If teachers are not happy, it is easy to make things difficult for students.
Before returning home, Hasegawa turned a corner and rushed to the izakaya that Shizuka Hiratsuka mentioned.
When Hasegawa arrived at the izakaya, Shizuka Hiratsuka was already sitting there, but what surprised Hasegawa was that there was no wine in front of Shizuka Hiratsuka.
Simple peanuts and edamame are obviously snacks, but there is no wine, and Shizuka Hiratsuka does not smell of wine.
Hasegawa was really surprised. After all, with Shizuka Hiratsuka's personality, it was really strange that she did not drink at this time.
"What are you looking at?" Shizuka Hiratsuka noticed Hasegawa's eyes full of curiosity and surprise, and couldn't help frowning.
"I'm just a little surprised that you didn't drink, Hiratsuka-sensei." Hasegawa told the truth.
"Tsk, no matter what, I'm also a teacher, and I still have the basic ethics of a teacher. How could I do something like drinking in front of students?" Hiratsuka Shizuka said shamelessly.
"Hehe."
