His originally handsome appearance complements this well. If Paul keeps silent, he will exude a stability and temperament that make even adults feel ashamed of themselves.
But in reality, his character is like that of a child. Only his body has grown up. What he does definitely can't be called childish. The people around him will definitely be at a loss because of this contrast in him.
"Paul is like a typhoon. He will draw everything around him in."
He draws in nearby things without any scruples or mercy and then passes by without changing his expression. But after a typhoon, the sky will clear up. This guy is definitely not a bad person. The more one comes into contact with him like this, the more one can understand this.
"Don't be too noisy."
I sighed and muttered. The Paul in front of me suddenly relaxed his cheeks and smiled. Seeing his expression, I tilted my head in confusion. Suddenly, Blake's arm hugged me tightly.
"Please don't have too much connection with this guy."
"Ah?"
Hearing Blake's displeased voice, I looked up but was hugged even tighter by him. Could it be that he is jealous?
"Unfortunately, the teacher and I are going to be in the same boat for a while from now on."
"Um?"
Hearing Paul's words, I tilted my head instantly and then murmured.
"Ah, yes."
Remembering the cause of the matter, I couldn't help but give a wry smile.
"What's going on?"
"Well, ah, I have become the advisor of the anniversary implementation committee."
I said this to Blake who frowned in confusion. His expression immediately became stern. I slightly felt his angry aura and my skin somehow felt a stinging pain.
"Why did it become like this?"
"It just naturally became like this."
I replied nonchalantly. He was obviously speechless and sighed loudly. Actually, there isn't any other teacher who can take on this position either, so I have no choice. But I didn't expect it would make Blake so unhappy.
"Don't be so angry. My work will be easier, and you can also meet the teacher without any scruples every day."
"If only there wasn't you!"
Blake shouted loudly at Paul who shrugged his shoulders. His expression became even more stern. However, this kind of unexplained unhappiness seems somewhat familiar to me. Recalling the recent memories, I remembered the conversation with Abel on the phone a few days ago. Was his unhappiness back then also because of Paul? I couldn't help but sigh deeply.
If so, Paul is really a big troublemaker for Blake.
"There will always be obstacles in a relationship."
"This isn't an obstacle at all. It's simply harmful."
Facing Blake who frowned, Paul chuckled softly.
While I was sorting out my memories, the conversation between Blake and Paul was still continuing. It seems that I can't just let the two of them continue like this.
"Paul, it's almost time to go to the classroom. I'll listen to you in detail at noon."
"..."
I hurriedly urged. Paul tilted his head slightly and for some reason stared at Blake for a while. Then he shrugged slightly and sighed.
"Well, since the teacher has said so, I have no choice."
Then, Paul waved the document he had been holding all along in his hand and turned around to walk out of the room. Seeing his back, I immediately felt relieved. After the door clicked shut, Blake seemed to have seized the opportunity and brought his face close to my cheek.
"Blake, you are too impulsive."
"I know. But if I don't say this, that guy will do it again."
I slapped the arm around my waist. Instead, he hugged me even tighter. Our bodies were in close contact with almost no gap. My heart was pounding like crazy. My face became too hot to handle.
"Blake, you should also..."
My heart racing, I unconsciously tried hard to break free from my body. But he blocked me. I couldn't help but look up at Blake with dissatisfaction.
"Ben."
"Fool, don't call me like this in school."
"No one heard."
"That's not the point."
Although I'm very happy that he changed from addressing me as teacher to using my name, if he forms a habit and accidentally calls me like this in school, it will be troublesome. However, in contrast to me who is scolding him, Blake doesn't show any sign of repentance at all. He looks down at me.
"Ben, I like you."
Blake murmurs my name softly and bends down from behind as if to cover me.
"I, I know. Wait, wait a moment, Blake!"
Blake slowly tilts his face and approaches until our noses are almost touching. I clearly know what this means but only talk about it verbally. My body can't move. I hate my own uselessness.
When our faces are close enough that our noses are almost touching each other, I look into Blake's eyes. My face becomes even hotter. I can't bear Blake's extremely gentle smile. I tightly close my eyes and feel a soft touch on my lips. My lips are gently bitten a few times and the tip of his tongue slowly traces the outline of my lips. My shoulders tremble.
"Cute."
Blake makes a small kissing sound and leaves. I unconsciously follow the corner of his mouth with my eyes. After realizing this, I feel an intense sense of shame and can't help but bury my head in Blake's arms.
"Last time I was ambushed by you, but Ben is still Ben."
Seeing my reaction, Blake showers kisses on my face. It's a ticklish feeling of slight touches, but I'm so ashamed that I want to faint right now.
"Don't do this anymore. You should also hurry to the classroom."
I gently push away the approaching face and say with my mouth twisted. Blake chuckles softly and releases my body.
"I understand. Then, see you later."
When leaving, Blake holds my hand and kisses my fingertips. The way he does this so naturally makes me feel an intense dizziness.
"Can my heart still hold up in the future?"
I feel a hint of uneasiness towards my departing lover.
He doesn't push things forward eagerly but slowly matches my pace. But even so, I still can't quite keep up with each of his actions and behaviors.
"Being passive is really disadvantageous after all."
I don't think things that make him panic will happen often, but I still want to find a way to turn the situation around. Maybe I'm really a very competitive person.
