Upon hearing this, Kirisu Mafuyu's eyes flickered slightly.
A hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Bai continued, "I don't think it's suitable for you, Professor Tongxu, to walk home in your current condition."
"Because continuing to walk after a sprain is likely to worsen the injury, and in severe cases, it may even leave sequelae."
Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, Kirisu Mafuyu first frowned slightly, then relaxed her brows and said with her expression unchanged:
"It's alright, the teacher lives nearby. As long as I'm careful, there won't be any problems. You can go home first."
"It will be dark soon, and it's not safe for you as a student."
Lin Bai raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly: "Teacher Tongxu, in this situation, you may be in more danger than I am."
"So let me take you home first, then I'll go home."
Kirisu Mafuyu frowned slightly: "No need, teacher. I can go back by myself. You can go first."
"Isn't it really necessary?"
Lin Bai smiled slightly: "Let me give you a heads-up, if the ankle sprain is serious, it could affect your ability to go to work on Monday."
"If you, Kirisu-sensei, want to delay our class because of your stubbornness, then so be it."
"I go first."
After speaking, he walked forward along the road.
"..."
Kirisu Mafuyu was taken aback by what she heard. She watched Lin Bai leave without looking back, her red lips slightly moving and her eyes flickering.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
About five seconds later, seeing Lin Bai had already walked about ten meters away, she gritted her teeth, her cheeks slightly flushed, and called out:
"Lin Bai, please wait a moment."
"..."
Hearing the voice behind him, Lin Bai couldn't help but smile slightly.
This was what he expected.
When she stopped and turned to look at Kirisu Mafuyu, her smile vanished. She returned to stand before her, feigning ignorance.
"Is there anything else, Professor Kirisu?"
Kirisu Mafuyu gritted her teeth slightly, her cheeks flushed, and whispered, "I promise you what happened just now."
"What just happened?"
Lin Bai still pretended not to understand: "What just happened, Professor Kirisu, could you explain it more clearly?"
Kirisu Mafuyu: "??!!"
Seeing Lin Bai feign ignorance, she paused for a moment, then gently clenched her fists, feeling a pang of shame.
Although I really want to be stubborn.
But remembering what Lin Bai had said earlier, she had no choice but to suppress her shame and, with a slightly flushed face, say:
"Could you please take me home, Lin Bai?"
She also lowered her voice a little.
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai slightly curled the corners of his lips: "Since Professor Tongxu has asked me to do this, of course I can't just sit idly by."
"I'll lend you my shoulder for a while."
As he spoke, he moved to her right.
Upon hearing this, Kirisu Mafuyu blushed even more, feeling even more ashamed.
"What a disgrace!" she thought to herself involuntarily.
Although she felt ashamed, she still put her right hand on Lin Bai's left shoulder and used him as a crutch.
As she made this gesture, she turned her head to look around.
They were worried about being seen by people at school, which could lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.
Fortunately, she hadn't seen anyone she knew or any other students from the Integrated Studies Institute yet, which relieved her.
"Give me your bag." 817 "...Thank you."
After a moment's hesitation, Kirisu Mafuyu thanked him and handed the bag to Lin Bai.
"You're welcome."
Lin Bai took the bag, smiled slightly, and said, "Then let's go."
"Well, let's go."
Kirisu Mafuyu responded.
Take a step forward with your left foot first, then use your right foot to take another step forward.
This process takes a little time.
Moreover, the distance traveled was a bit short.
"Let's walk faster."
Kirisu Mafuyu also realized this, and considering that delay might lead to unforeseen changes, she wanted to speed up her progress.
This further aggravated my right ankle.
"hiss……"
She frowned slightly and took a deep breath.
Seeing this, Lin Bai raised an eyebrow slightly: "Let's stop for a moment."
"what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Kirisu Mafuyu, enduring the pain, looked at Lin Bai with some confusion.
Lin Bai explained, "Supporting me like this isn't good. If we walk too fast, we'll bump the injury. We have to walk slowly."
"I think it's best if I carry you back, Mr. Kirisu."
"Ha, carry it back?!"
Upon hearing this, Kirisu Mafuyu's eyes widened slightly, and she was somewhat taken aback.
After being taken aback, she quickly shook her head: "No, no, I'm the teacher and you're the student. How can I let you carry me?"
There was one more thing she didn't say.
She couldn't accept having a man carry her on his back, after all, Lin Bai wasn't her boyfriend.
Even now, as she helps Lin Bai up, she feels a bit intimate with him.
Chapter 299 Kirisu-sensei, you probably don't want to, right?
Kirisu Mafuyu shook her head in refusal.
This was within Lin Bai's expectations.
"It's okay if you don't memorize it."
Lin Bai looked at Kirisu Mafuyu and said, "Then I'll carry Kirisu-sensei home in a princess carry."
"Princess carry!!!"
Upon hearing this, Kirisu Mafuyu was taken aback, her eyes widening involuntarily as she subconsciously imagined the corresponding scene in her mind.
Lin Bai picked him up in a princess carry.
She wrapped her arms around Lin Bai's neck and leaned against him.
Just thinking about that scene made her heart race.
He quickly shook his head to banish these images, feigning anger as he said:
“Lin Bai, I am your teacher. How can I use such an intimate way as a princess carry?”
"Don't say that again."
Lin Bai's expression remained unchanged: "I just wanted to offer suggestions to prevent further injury to your sprained ankle, Professor Kirisu."
"Because after the secondary injury, you, Kirisu-sensei, will likely be unable to go to school on Monday."
"Besides, Mr. Kirisu, you probably don't want to disrupt the learning of two classes because of a sprained ankle, right?"
"I……"
Upon hearing this, Kirisu Mafuyu parted her red lips slightly, but suddenly found herself speechless.
Although Lin Bai's last sentence sounded strange, she had to admit that it struck a chord with her.
As a teacher, she believes that it is unacceptable for students to have their studies delayed because of such a thing.
Lin Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "To avoid wasting time, Professor Kirisu, you should make your choice quickly."
Do you want me to carry you or put me on my back?
"..."
Kirisu Mafuyu frowned slightly, her eyes flickering as she hesitated.
She didn't notice anything at that moment.
It seemed that the occasional passersby didn't pay attention to her and Lin Bai; it was as if they couldn't see them.
Wait about half a minute.
Seeing that Kirisu Mafuyu was still hesitating, Lin Bai had no choice but to urge her, "Teacher Kirisu, haven't you made a decision yet?"
"I need to go back for dinner."
Hearing Lin Bai's urging, Kirisu Mafuyu gritted her teeth slightly: "I've made up my mind. Please carry me back."
Compared to the intimate way of being carried in a princess carry, she still felt that carrying her on her back was better, even if it was just a little better.
She really wants to go home right now.
