Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

The afternoon was bright and clear. The blue sky outside the window is like an abyss, extending to a height that cannot be seen.

I propped my cheek with one hand and looked out the window, and kept stroking the edge of the page with my fingertips, but I couldn't get my mind into the book no matter what. Probably aware of my palpable anxiety, a young man took advantage of my inattention and sat down at the table opposite me calmly, then suddenly raised his hand and knocked on the table.

"After the college entrance examination and the summer vacation is coming to an end, all the prospective college students are as unmotivated as you are?"

I looked up at the young man, and leaned back on the back of the chair angrily.

"I don't know, but you must be responsible for this. Didn't you just instill in us... the idea that 'you can take four years of vacation after entering university'?"

Hearing the words, the other party raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and pushed the can of coffee in his hand in front of me.

The young man in front of me is called Lin Yu. He is a teacher in my high school, but he is not the teacher in charge of any of my courses.

It was also in this library that I first met him. I was on sick leave for a few weeks to recover from a serious illness. I wanted to rest for a few more days, but I had nothing to do and went to school. The class was still in session, and I didn't want to be too noticeable by rushing into the classroom halfway, so I walked around the library. Then I met this nosy teacher, who was regarded as a student who skipped class, which caused an unbearable farce.

Although I was unilaterally regarded as a "prisoner" and severely criticized and educated, I was also fortunate to meet such a special teacher.

It should be said that there is no teacher like a teacher.

"There is something I have to remind you. It is best for two people to discuss things together. If you leave it to yourself to think about it, then I am afraid that you will not be able to find the best answer for the two of you anyway."

"I have my own measure. Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, how are you doing now?"

I originally wanted to annoy him, but who knew that when he heard this, his eyes were full of affectation, his whole body gradually inflated like a balloon, and he shook his head at me, swaying around, showing a bit of secret joy color.

"Hey, what are you talking about, what can I do? Right?"

"Don't you like tea cat teacher? Seeing that your reaction has improved?"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Yu stared at me and gradually showed a meaningful smile, with a bright smile all over his face.

"No! There is no progress! Hahahaha, I don't know why you think so..."

Looking at Lin Yu's reaction, I knew that his relationship with the tea cat had gone beyond what I expected.

Don't look at this man's casual and unrestrained appearance, he is actually a lover who was hanged to death on a tree. Long ago, she fell in love with Chamao, the head teacher who came from the next class temporarily. In fact, she was just an intern teacher and the school's psychology teacher, but she was quite popular among her classmates. But he doesn't care about this, he interacts with her in the grade group all day long, one of them is a wild natural dumb (or natural black), and the other is a typical tsundere boy, it's really exciting to come and go tease them.

Once, Lin Yu saw that her profile picture had been changed to that of her family's fat brown cat, and he jokingly meowed at her, which turned out to be everyone's nickname for her.

"You...are done?"

I looked at the overly proud man in front of me, and the door of the library was suddenly opened by a hand.

"Your news is still unclear as always, Brother Su! My brother has been dating Sister Chamao for a month."

The girl in front of the door walked towards us holding a stack of books high enough to block her face, and walked to the front desk with difficulty to put the books down.

"Hey, don't listen to her nonsense, it's not even a month yet."

Lin Yu defended the unimportant question, stood up and approached the girl, and helped her pick up the scattered books on the ground. The girl raised her face and gave him a blank look, then sat down weakly on the seat at the front desk. Lin Yu tidied up the books, leaned against the wall again and looked at us. He glanced at the hair ornament on the girl's long hair again, and folded his arms habitually.

"Today is a white cat..."

This made me focus on her hair accessories as well. The girl in front of me is Lin Yu's younger sister, named Xiao Lulu. It is said that Lin Yu's parents adopted the child. According to Lin Yu, when she was a child, her family experienced many changes, and she has left behind many psychological problems since then. The more serious one is mild split personality symptoms, but it is not a real "split personality disorder". obvious changes.

In other words, two completely different personalities. Lin Yu used the color of Xiao Lulu's hair accessories to tell her personality today. When Xiao Lulu was replaced with a black cat hair accessory, her personality would be stronger, and her gestures revealed a stronger and more seductive aggressiveness. So I'm not very willing to get close to black cats. On the contrary, white cats are easy to approach and treat people with gentleness. Although it was Lin Yu who thought the white cat was stupid, excessive intimacy was a sign of indifference.

I recalled that Lin Yu had raised this issue with Xiao Lulu face to face before, but the white cat didn't listen to anything, and instead got angry because of the word "stupid", and this grudge has been remembered until now. So even at this moment, the way the two of them get along seems extremely awkward, they don't like each other but they always help each other, just like today Xiao Lulu helped Lin Yu bring the new books from the library over by talking to himself.

For some reason, seeing the scene of the two of them staring at each other, I couldn't help laughing, but when I raised my eyes, both of them looked at me. Xiao Lulu tilted his head in confusion.

"Don't you have to go to work today?"

My mind immediately went blank, and I hurriedly took out my phone from my pocket. The moment I checked the time, I quickly grabbed the schoolbag hanging on the back of the chair, and ran out of the library before I could say hello to Lin Yu and Xiao Lulu .

"This kid... is out of his mind."

From here, I only need to change to the subway once on the road, and I can go to the place where I work. During the summer vacation after graduating from high school, a female friend and I worked as teaching assistants in a make-up class. Although there is no considerable remuneration throughout the day, the content of the work is really not complicated. At most, it is to explain the exercises to the students in the make-up class. Of course, I have no complaints.

But today... the rewards must be in vain.

By the time I arrived at the tuition institution, half of the class time had passed. I wanted to explain the situation to the person in charge of the institution and go home today. I walked upstairs with this thought in mind, but when I turned a corner, I bumped into a petite figure head-on. I subconsciously bowed my head to apologize to her, but the girl in front of me looked up at me in a daze.

"Hey! Su Ruoyang?"

Realizing that the other person was someone I knew, I opened half of my eyes to meet her gaze. The girl is dressed in a gothic loli style dress, and her long crimson hair is gorgeously braided behind her, as if she is going to a big prom next, so she is about to sneak in from another important thing Slipped out, but didn't expect to bump into me head-on at the door.

"Why don't you go to class, now should be your English class time?"

"Hmph, I come from the "Three Great Magical Families in the World", but I can read through magic books that are thousands of times more difficult than this. The English level of this kind of cram school is really far behind my classy Elus Tina. Got it."

The girl who called herself "Elus Tina" patted her impoverished chest and laughed proudly. I looked at her and was silent for half a second, then without a word, I took out my phone and called up the dialing interface.

"Hey! Su Ruoyang, what are you doing?"

"Call your dad and say that her daughter wants to go to the Academy of Magic and needs to transfer classes."

After saying that, the girl rushed towards me with lightning speed, but I dodged it with ease. She stood on tiptoe trying to grab my phone, only to circle around my body a few times. She finally realized that she didn't own the efforts she had made, so she had to go back to the front of me again, holding my clothes tightly with her little hands.

A pair of deer-like eyes stared straight at me, showing a pitiful look.

"Please don't call me! You won't have the heart to see me being beaten up?"

This trick was tried and tested for her, and it defeated her so quickly.

In fact, there are quite a few students with such problems in our tutoring institution, just like this girl who calls herself "Eluth". Although in terms of height, it is not a problem for her to pretend to be an elementary school student, but she is a genuine high school student. In addition, he always wears Lolita-style clothes at ordinary times, so he is the type that cannot be noticed in the crowd. However, knowing that her attire attracts attention, she often sneaks out of the classroom blatantly.

The result is obvious.

"Then please go back to the classroom obediently and listen to our Muggles' English lessons patiently, great wizard."

I hold aloft the phone that has her father's number entered. She puffed up her cheeks with great reluctance, stomped her foot on the ground angrily, turned around and went back the same way as I said.

Powerless to fight back.

"Crack~ I took a picture of the scene of the villain threatening the girl! ANIKI, how much money are you going to spend to bribe me?"

Playful footsteps came from downstairs. The speaker was stepping on the steps as if playing hopscotch, and the clothes that were one size too big were a little baggy on her.

"I told you, don't call me ANIKI...and you, why don't you learn Xue Xueer's tricks?"

"I'm biased, sister Lin'er can call you brother!" the girl muttered, and hugged my arm, "I took pictures of your criminal evidence, ANIKI, this is my just revenge for you!"

If I want to say whether the relationship between me and this girl is so close, I can only say——

Probably not. She is just my person in charge of this tutoring institution. I know her name is Chen Xue, and I know that she and I are in the same grade, that's all.

Rather, if the "sister Lin'er" she called found out that she did this to me, she might be in "life danger".

"You're a typical sneaky change of concept..."

I quietly broke free from Chen Xue's hand. She snorted pretending to be displeased, put her hands behind her back, and muttered with her mouth pouted.

"Okay, stop arguing with ANIKI about this issue!" Chen Xue raised his eyebrows slyly, and asked with a smile, "Speaking of which, when will you send out your gift of love?"

Hearing this, my hands in my pockets couldn't help trembling, and I felt that my mind was full of thoughts.

"What tokens of love are there in this day and age?"

I sneered, turned around and went downstairs pretending to be calm, or maybe it was just to avoid her direct gaze.

"Huh? Obviously you came to work part-time for this purpose, huh?"

As night fell, the sky was stained with black. I turned the key and opened the door, but the figure sitting on the sofa surprised me suddenly.

"Uh... what role are you playing?"

On the sofa, Su Erin was wearing a costume of a character in a classic animation, and the curves of her body were perfectly outlined. Coupled with those eyes that are always looking directly at me, even if the other party is my sister who has lived under the roof with me for more than ten years, I will inevitably have a strange thought for a moment.

However, I quickly pretended to be nonchalant. I don't know if Su Huilin is deliberately teasing me, after all, it is impossible for me to react too much, so I have to swallow all my thoughts.

The reason is a bit complicated.

One is not possible, the other is not daring, and the third is that it cannot be defeated.

"I didn't specify a character... how do you feel about your body today?"

"How should I say it?" I put down my computer bag while putting on a serious look, and said, "Well... I really don't want to marry you off to the extent that it will be cheaper for some boy."

"Smart words. Saying such words is already blush."

Although she said so, her eyes smiled slightly. Su Erin raised her feet to the edge of the sofa, and gently took off the stockings covering her legs.

"I know you like cosplay very much. I won't prohibit you from participating in the comic exhibition like my father. But in the third year of high school, you still have to adjust the focus of your life."

"Just because of the third year of high school?"

Being stared directly at by Su Erin with such charming eyes, coupled with her long legs half covered with black silk, I quickly crossed my arms and made an X shape.

"It's forbidden to stare at your brother like this! Do you know that it's very foul for such a good-looking person to do such a thing!"

"Hey. After all, I have to prepare for the life of three people in advance."

"Hey, what a ghost! Leaving aside other aspects for now, do you plan to bring your elder brother with you when you marry in the future?"

Hearing my words, the color in Su Huilin's eyes stagnated for a moment, but soon she focused on me again, with a rippling soft light.

"Then I will let this day come slowly! Brother, you have to make good use of the remaining time, let me always fall in love with you... If you wait so long, you may even lose me and Xiaoyin .”

Her words suddenly hit my heart, but she didn't mean to embarrass me, so she got up and left the living room after speaking.

For some reason, I keep counting my encounters with others during this time. Deep in my heart is calling for the anxiety that I will lose some precious things, so I want to hold on to those fine sands in my palm.

Unknowingly, the time has come to the next day, and I still went to that library today.

Facing Lin Yu's concerned gaze, I picked up the canned coffee and pulled the tab.

"You kid, you've been absent-minded for a week... Are you still thinking about your little girlfriend?"

Lin Yu's seemingly unintentional words made the tip of my nose sour, and the vague sense of uneasiness was awakened again. I naturally knew what Lin Yu was talking about. The person I like is going to study abroad. From now on, there will be a distance in a foreign country. It is impossible to say that I don’t care, but I would rather muddle through it than face this reality.

"Xia Yinci is not my girlfriend yet."

"Is that so? The proposal ring is already ready?"

Too aggressive words made me laugh for a while, Lin Yu's words undoubtedly broke through the last line of defense in my heart. I held the small box hidden in my pocket, only feeling uncomfortable for a while. And Lin Yu kept looking into my eyes, and after a long time, he curled his lips helplessly, and stopped looking at me with that urgent gaze.

"I've seen too many students fall in love with each other in high school. It's easy for everyone to fall in love with each other at this age. But I rarely see you who think so far just after graduating from high school, and even want to pay for it." All practical students. Compared with the sense of responsibility of living together, we actually prefer the ambiguous feeling when we touch each other. So you can choose the former, I personally think it is very rare.”

Lin Yu patted me on the shoulder, walked to the front desk of the library, and didn't say anything more to me.

The sky was still clear and clear outside the window. I slowly lowered my gaze, staring at the stain on the table in a daze. There are some wonderful emotions in my heart that are slipping through my fingers at this moment.
