"Yuzu Kashiwa, Teacher Kashiwa."
Old Yan, the dean of students, kindly introduced Lu Yibei: "He's a new intern teacher this year, very responsible... Teacher Bai, this is Lu Yibei, a graduate of our school. He's back today to visit his former homeroom teacher, who graduated last year. It's normal that you don't recognize him."
Kashiwagi Yuzu then nodded in realization.
"Teacher Bai," Old Yan asked again, "Aren't you teaching?"
"Yes, I have class next period."
"Is there something you need here?"
“I heard that some students had been climbing over the wall to get out recently, so I came to check it out.”
Lu Yibei nodded secretly.
He even works overtime for himself; no wonder Lao Yan praised him as "responsible".
but.
"...No, Lao Yan, why are you looking at me like that?"
Old Yan asked, "Doesn't it remind you of your past?"
Lu Yibei scratched his head, as if recalling something:
Have we ever done something like this before?
Old Yan was amused by his own anger:
"Who found the blind spot in the camera footage and kept running around every two days and every three days?"
Lu Yibei remained expressionless: "Xu Che."
When he gave the name, Kashiwagi Yuzu was still looking at Lu Yibei.
She felt a sense of closeness to the graduate when she heard that he was visiting his former homeroom teacher.
But upon hearing that he was a delinquent who frequently skipped classes back then, Kashiwagi Yuzu frowned again.
Xu Che appeared and pointed at Lu Yibei:
"Nonsense!"
"Who went out of their way to find the blind spot of the security cameras back then?"
"Now you're just passing the buck to me??"
“I found the camera,” Lu Yibei said imperiously. “But you skipped class, so don’t hold me responsible.”
"Didn't I bring you food?" Xu Che said.
“I paid,” Lu Yibei said.
"...Is this about money?"
"Then give me back my money."
Lu Yibei shrugged.
Xu Che paused for a moment, then looked at Lao Yan:
"But then again, if you installed cameras specifically to prevent students from skipping class, how could there be blind spots in the surveillance?"
Lu Yibei added: "It's not rigorous. The old principal often said in the morning assembly, 'Be self-disciplined in life and rigorous in work,' and he didn't just say it to us students."
Xu Che shook his head and sighed, "I feel sorry for the students of Xincheng."
Lu Yibei said with emotion, "Luckily, I graduated."
Old Yan was initially amused as he watched the two argue.
It felt like stepping back into the past.
Unexpectedly, the two boys suddenly changed their tune and turned their anger towards him!
—Well, that's how it always was.
"Hey you two... that blind spot is fixed!"
“That means there are other oversights,” Xu Che said.
“Truly, every generation produces talented individuals, each leading the way for two or three years,” Lu Yibei also said.
Xu Che added, "Besides, there's no need to make a big deal out of it. I've told you before that the cafeteria food is terrible. If you sneak out, you'll just be going to the supermarket next door to buy instant noodles."
"I heard the cafeteria has been renovated, but it doesn't look very good," Lu Yibei said. "Old Yan, you need to be more careful with your work."
Old Yan fell silent for a moment:
"...Is your dean of students or am I the dean of students? And you dare criticize me?! Get out here and write a self-criticism! Two thousand words! I want to see it after school today!!"
Lu Yibei and Xu Che quickly lowered their eyes and said, "Yes."
Seeing the two of them like this, Old Yan laughed heartily:
"—If only you guys had been this obedient back then."
Lu Yibei also said, "If only you could have laughed after you finished lecturing us."
Old Yan was taken aback, then patted Lu Yibei's shoulder forcefully.
He had a really strong grip; luckily, he didn't break Lu Yibei's shoulder.
"You're still got a way with words, hahaha. You guys give me a headache, but now that I think about it, I still need to keep messing with you—"
Xu Che: "Oh dear, a new generation replaces the old. Lao Yan, you can't let your longing for us stop you from doing your best for the new students, can you?"
Old Yan kicked it out with a thud:
"You still can't speak properly!"
Yuzu Kashiwagi listened attentively to the conversation between the head of student affairs and the two graduates.
She had just been frowning at Lu Yibei for his past "skipping classes".
But when she saw Xu Che's sparkly pink head appear, she suddenly found Lu Yibei more pleasing to the eye.
People have stereotypes.
With his current pink cauliflower-shaped haircut, it's hard to imagine that Xu Che used to be a good student.
"Skipping class is wrong."
Yuzuki hastily joined the conversation, but his tone remained confident.
Upon hearing this, Xu Che was taken aback and was about to say something.
But when he saw Kashiwagi Yuzu's determined, European-style double eyelids, he hummed in agreement.
"I think so too, so I basically haven't skipped any classes at Xincheng since I graduated."
Bai Muyou's mind went blank for a moment as she tried to understand Xu Che's words.
Just as she realized what was happening, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.
"Okay, okay,"
Old Yan said, "We're not as free as you college students. Professor Bai, do you have any classes coming up?"
Kashiwa nodded.
"Go and get ready. I have things to do too. You two, behave yourselves—don't get caught again." Old Yan pointed at the two graduates.
Lu Yibei and Xu Che snapped to attention and saluted.
"Yes, King Yama!"
Their movements were so precise and uniform that one could imagine they must have trained many times back then.
Old Yan pointed at the two of them again, paused for a moment, and then said:
