Only after running out of the hotel did Hinako stop. The cool night breeze blew on her face, but her heart was still pounding and her cheeks were terribly hot.
Sui's words, "I think I've fallen for you," were still ringing in her mind, filling her heart with the excitement and fear of a girl falling in love for the first time.
In fact, she herself knew that she had fallen in love with Sui, but she just didn't dare to admit it.
When she found out that Sui actually liked her, she was very happy. She had been worried that Sui would dislike her because of her age.
But at the same time, there was a voice in her heart constantly reminding her that the person she liked was her student, who was more than ten years younger than her, and such behavior was immoral.
Hinako is a very typical Yamato Nadeshiko, very traditional and conservative at heart. In this respect, she is very similar to Erina, but even more conservative.
Putting aside personal feelings, it will also have an impact on her career as a chef.
Hinako has graduated for more than ten years and is already a famous chef in the culinary world. If word gets out that she has had a romantic relationship with a student who is more than ten years younger than her, it will lead to criticism in the society of Japan. Not only will she be looked down upon by strangers, but people around her will also certainly look at her strangely.
Not only will she be unable to gain a foothold, but her reputation will also be damaged.
"Oh, I am such a shameless woman. I actually fell in love with my own student."
Hinakozi stroked her cheek, feeling both happy and guilty. She sighed and said to herself, "What should I do? But Sui-kun has already done this to me. How can I get married in the future?"
At the same time, after Sui took a cold shower, he calmed down a little.
But then he smiled bitterly, he had just forcefully kissed Hinako, his teacher.
However, unlike Hinako, he did not feel any guilt about the teacher-student relationship. If Sui had not realized that the other party also liked him, he would definitely not have said such words.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later."
He sighed and said.
Just then the phone rang.
Sui picked up the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
Although he felt strange, Sui still picked up the phone. Maybe it was a call from Tōtsuki's Academic Affairs Department.
"Little brother, do you still remember me?"
A sexy and charming voice came from the other end of the phone.
Sui was stunned for a moment, and then a beautiful face appeared in his mind.
"You are... Miss Natsume?"
He asked.
"Little brother, I see you still remember me. I am so happy."
Natsume Sendawara said in a sexy voice.
Sui was speechless for a moment. Could this woman not be so ambiguous?
But at the same time, he was a little puzzled. He had thrown away Natsume Sendawara's business card somewhere long ago. How did she know his number?
"Ms. Natsume, how did you know my number?"
As if she smelled the doubt in his heart,
"You are a student of Totsuki. Is it difficult to get the contact information of a Totsuki student?"
A light laugh from Natsume came from the other end of the line.
"All right."
Sui was speechless. He remembered that Eizan seemed to have a close relationship with the other party. If he wanted to find his contact information, it would not be a difficult thing.
"Miss Natsume, what do you want to talk to me about?"
He asked.
"Where are you interning now?"
Natsume asked.
"Shunkatei."
Sui replied.
"Shunkatei? Is it some unknown restaurant?"
She muttered to herself in confusion, as if she had never heard of the name of this restaurant.
"Oh, that's Sonoka-senpai's restaurant, it's been open for less than half a year."
Sui also explained how Sonoka had just graduated from the previous class, and their class had not even finished one semester. According to his estimation, the opening time of Shunkatei would only be a few months at most.
It's normal that Natsume doesn't know.
"Sonoka Kikuchi…Kikuchi…"
Natsume repeated the last name and asked, "Is it the second seat in the 89th term?"
Apparently, she had a very detailed grasp of the information of the Ten Elite of each year. "In this case, this restaurant has great potential."
She believes in the potential of the Ten Elite of Totsuki. Although Sonoka has not yet established a firm foothold, she believes that in a few years, she will become famous like her predecessors such as Hinako and Mizuhara Fuyumi.
"There is an interesting event tomorrow. Is your restaurant interested in participating?"
Natsume asked.
"What activity?"
Sui asked.
"It's a party, and all the people attending are celebrities. I would like to invite you, and the Shunkatei, to provide lunch for this party. This is a good opportunity for you."
Natsume said with a smile.
Sui was quite tempted. This was indeed a good opportunity to enhance the restaurant's influence and would bring in many potential customers.
But what made him feel strange was, would Natsume be so nice?
"Don't doubt anything. I just want to win your friendship."
Natsume seemed to know what Sui was thinking and explained, "This is a win-win situation for both of us, isn't it?"
She has already won over Eizan Etsuya, and her sister is in the process of winning over Isshiki Satoshi.
She already knew that Sui had defeated Eizan, so she hoped to win him over.
After all, each of the Elite Ten will become a leading figure in the culinary world in the future and is worth winning over.
"That's true."
Sui nodded. It was impossible for the other party to plot against them in such a matter. If the party was not held well, it would also be a loss for her.
"But I need to get Sonoka-senpai's consent, but she should be fine with it."
He said.
"Well, just bring my business card tomorrow and I'll send you the address later."
Natsume said, then hung up the phone.
Afterwards, Sui called Sonoka, and of course Sonoka agreed.
The next morning, Sonoka temporarily closed the restaurant and took Sui and Fabre to the place given on the address.
It was a manor with a quiet environment.
