Could the Yukinoshita family really be ruined because of something like this?
"Speak freely and without reservation?" Su Qing seemed to care a lot about the phrase "as much as possible," and asked again with a frown.
"I'll tell you everything I know, go on, go on." Hiratsuka Shizuka thought to herself, "This brat is so troublesome. How come all college students these days are so shrewd? He doesn't even leave me a little bit of room to maneuver."
"Then please wait for my good news, teacher." Su Qing smiled with satisfaction, then strode away.
Tsk, it's only at times like this that they'll actually call me "teacher" in a proper way.
Watching Su Qing's departing figure, Hiratsuka Shizuka thought resentfully.
I don't know if it's because the other person is a transfer student from mainland China and hasn't adapted to campus life on the island yet, or if my way of interacting and communicating with the other person is too friendly.
In short, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt that Su Qing never seemed to treat her as a teacher.
This can be clearly seen from how the other person addresses you.
After Su Qing had completely left, Hiratsuka Shizuka clutched the tissue in her hand and subconsciously wiped her mouth with it.
Huh? Dry?
Hiratsuka Shizuka instantly clenched her other hand into a fist the size of a sandbag.
This kid actually dared to make fun of me.
just wait.
If we don't get the wine back later, we'll make him pay!

Chapter 185 Huizi's Matchmaking
Noticing footsteps behind her, Keiko turned around angrily and warned sternly:
"Jing, no drinking tonight. Do I have to say it twice?"
"Ms. Huizi, it's me," Su Qing greeted with a smile.
"Oh, it's you. I'm so sorry, I thought it was Jing." Upon hearing the clear male voice, Huizi immediately apologized to Su Qing, bowing deeply before smiling and asking:
"To be honest, I don't even know your name."
"No, it was my fault for neglecting you. I should have introduced myself first. Hello, Ms. Huizi, I am Su Qing." Su Qing extended her hand and formally introduced herself to Huizi.
"Su Qing? Good child, good child, so polite. Completely unlike that child, A-Jing..." Seeing how sensible Su Qing was, Huizi looked at her with increasing satisfaction. She was even worried about whether Hiratsuka Shizuka could seize such a good opportunity.
Realizing her slip of the tongue, Keiko quickly added:
"Of course, it's not that Jing is bad. In fact, once you spend more time with her, you'll find that she's actually a very well-behaved child."
As if worried that Su Qing wouldn't believe her, Huizi took out a talisman from her pocket and proudly introduced it to Su Qing:
"Look, this is what that child just gave me last time. Haha, I told her I didn't need it, but she insisted on giving it to me."
To outsiders, this might just seem like Keiko's explanation for Hiratsuka Shizuka, and even the amulet might not have been a gift from her. But Su Qing could still clearly see the sincerity in her eyes and tone.
Micro-expressions are very difficult to fool.
"Teacher Shizuka has always been very kind to me. When I first arrived at Soubu High School, I was very fortunate to receive a lot of help from her." Su Qing followed up on Huizi's words and began to praise Hiratsuka Shizuka.
But this is not against my conscience.
To be fair, Shizuka Hiratsuka was indeed a very responsible teacher.
"Xiao Jing?" Hui Zi's attention was clearly drawn to Su Qing's address. She nodded with a smile before realizing what Su Qing meant.
"Speaking of which, child, you must be from mainland China, right?"
"Yes, I only came here when school started in early September."
"Then... will you stay here in the future?" It was easy to see that Keiko was a little nervous at this moment.
If Hiratsuka Shizuma is with Su Qing, according to established customs, the former will most likely follow the latter to the mainland.
Now that the island has returned to the mainland, transportation facilities have become increasingly convenient. But it's still not as easy as meeting up in the same city.
"That seems to be the case at present."
Even if he went back to the mainland, there would be nowhere for him to return to.
Even when living in different provinces of the same country, one can feel like a stranger in a strange land.
Moreover, they are two different worlds, so it's more than just a lament about things changing and people being gone.
Loneliness coiled around my body like a python, following me like a shadow.
Fortunately, Su Qing was already used to it and didn't think much of it.
"Hehe, that's good." Although Su Qing was just saying it, Huizi was still a little relieved.
Furthermore, it's not certain that Hiratsuka Shizuka and the other person will end up together.
"Speaking of which, is there something you need from me?" Of course, Keiko didn't think that Su Qing had abandoned Hiratsuka Shizuka just to chat with her.
Time was precious, so after learning about what interested her, she decided to get straight to the point.
"Well, actually I asked you for wine on behalf of Teacher Xiaojing." Su Qing didn't make up a suitable reason. Given Huizi's relationship with Hiratsuka Shizuka, the former couldn't possibly be unaware of the latter's little scheme.
"Want some wine?" Huizi frowned slightly, her tone somewhat displeased.
"That won't do. Jing must have driven here, right? I don't want her driving under the influence; that would be too unsafe!"
“If that’s the case, then there’s no need to worry. I can drive, and I’ll take her home in a bit,” Su Qing said.
"But... I'm still a little worried about Jing, who's a girl." After hearing Su Qing's words, Huizi's tone softened a bit, but she was still somewhat concerned.
“How about this? I’ll get her home safely and watch her fall asleep or regain consciousness. That should put your mind at ease, right?” Su Qing quickly responded.
"Well... then I'll leave A-Jing in your care tonight." After receiving Su Qing's assurance, Huizi instantly revealed a triumphant expression.
What's bothering me? What's making me uneasy?
However, these were all just bait to lure Su Qing into the Hiratsuka Shizuka family.
The night was hazy and intoxicating, and truths were spoken after drinking.
A single man and a single woman, a passionate flame.
Huizi's plan was almost completely ruined by Su Qing's actions.
"Oh, you want wine? Wait a moment while I go." Keiko smiled and covered her mouth, walking lightly towards the kitchen.
After a while, Su Qing saw the other person walk over with a beautifully packaged bottle of wine in his hand.
"Here, tell A-Jing I'm treating her," Huizi said, handing the wine to Su Qing.
"She probably won't accept it. So let's just forget about it," Su Qing explained after thinking for a moment.
"That's true, you really know her well. That puts my mind at ease." Huizi, as if satisfied with the answer, chuckled and added:
"Go back quickly. Don't keep A-Jing waiting too long."
"Ms. Huizi, please take care."
"Hehe, good, good, good." Upon hearing this, Huizi's wrinkled face smiled even more broadly.
……
"Ugh, so slow! Why is it taking so long to get just two bottles of wine?"
Sitting in her seat, Hiratsuka Shizuka waited anxiously for Su Qing to return with the wine, but he didn't come. This made her feel uneasy, and a bad feeling began to creep into her heart.
"Could it be that Huizi said something strange to Su Qing?"
Just as Hiratsuka Shizuka was lost in thought and even wanted to go over and find out what was going on, Su Qing happened to walk over with that expensive bottle of wine.
"You're finally back."
Seeing Su Qing return, Hiratsuka Shizuka breathed a sigh of relief. After Su Qing sat down, Hiratsuka Shizuka gently scolded, "Why did you take so long? Keiko didn't say anything strange to you, did she?"
"I did tell you, but it shouldn't be too strange," Su Qing replied without hiding anything.
"Tell me more details." Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes flashed with surprise, and her voice carried a hint of nervousness.
"It's about getting you home safely after you get drunk, teacher," Su Qing said with a smile.
"That's it?" Hiratsuka Shizuka looked doubtful. Is it really that simple?
"That's it." Su Qing pushed the wine towards Hiratsuka Shizuka and continued to explain:
"After all, teacher, you probably don't want to commit such an illegal act as drunk driving in front of your students, right?"
"Tsk... I almost forgot I have to drive back later." Hiratsuka Shizuka clicked her tongue in displeasure. Su Qing was already twenty years old, the perfect age for drinking. She had even wanted to have a couple of drinks with her.
Knowing that I'll have to drink alone again is a bit of a disappointment.

Chapter 186 Teachers
After letting out a soft sigh, Hiratsuka Shizuka shifted her gaze to the wine that Su Qing had just handed her.
You won't believe it until you see it...
"Why did Keiko bring out such good wine today?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked in surprise as she turned the bottle over.
Huizi often treated her to drinks, and although she always paid for them herself, this was the first time she had ever drunk such good wine. Just by looking at the packaging, you could tell it was expensive.
and many more……
It turns out this wasn't the wine I ordered today; Su Qing brought it. Oh well, it's alright then.
Hiratsuka Shizuka was indignant. Why was Keiko treating her differently?
Is it just because this society is a damn appearance-obsessed society?
"Wait, you just said Keiko asked you to take me home?" With her brute force, Hiratsuka Shizuka managed to pry open the bottle cap and poured herself a full glass, ready to drink to her heart's content, when she suddenly realized what was happening.
"I have a driver's license, so please don't worry." On the first day of her transmigration, Su Qing found a driver's license while packing her suitcase.
Although the test was taken on the mainland, the island has now returned to China, so it is perfectly usable.
"No, that's not the point..." Hiratsuka Shizuka was a little annoyed. She didn't know if Su Qing really didn't understand or was pretending not to. If the other party really didn't understand, wouldn't it make her seem very impure if she just confessed the strange thoughts in her heart?
As a teacher, she also needs to maintain her image in front of her students!
But if the other person is pretending not to understand, it would be embarrassing for me to say it out loud...
Huizi, you've really given me a tough problem.
Since things have come to this, let's have a drink!
Hiratsuka Shizuka scratched her hair in frustration, then stopped dwelling on the matter and downed a full glass of wine in one gulp.
"Ah~ that's the feeling!" Hiratsuka Shizuka downed the drink in one gulp, and the moment she put the glass down, she let out a liberating sound.
"Sure enough, you need a drink after get off work!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka, seemingly still wanting more, picked up the bottle and poured herself another glass, ready to enjoy it to the fullest. But as she raised her glass, she noticed Su Qing smiling at her.
"What do you want to do? We just agreed not to drink, and now you can't drink even if you want to." After finishing the bottle in one gulp, Hiratsuka Shizuka protectively shielded it with her arms like a mother hen, and said warily.
Whether it was an illusion or not, under the warm yellow light, Su Qing could vaguely see a slight blush on Hiratsuka Shizuka's fair skin.
Hiratsuka Shizuka simply stood there without saying a word, yet the image she evoked was quite enchanting.
The moment she opens her mouth, she gives off the vibe of people from Sichuan, Chongqing, Northeast China, or Tianjin. Perhaps this is one reason why she has been on numerous blind dates but remains single.
But at this moment, the flush from the alcohol added a great deal of allure to her.
Does the alcohol work that quickly?
Su Qing was puzzled; he didn't drink much.
Some people have said that moderate drinking can improve concentration or mental alertness, but after several attempts, he did not notice any difference.
Not only is drinking harmful to health, but his job also doesn't require socializing, so he only roughly understood his own "limit" of drinking and then never touched alcohol again.
"I won't fight you for it." Seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka's drinking-obsessed appearance, Su Qing could only smile helplessly.
"That's good. I doubt you'd dare steal your teacher's drink." Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded in satisfaction at first, but then thought about it and realized something seemed off.
Wait a minute, this kid might actually dare!
Anyway, his attitude towards me is not like that of a teacher.
