Chapter 73 Heart Like a Rocket

"I feel like I'm a little hot."

Gwen felt that her state at this moment was very strange.

My whole body was hot, the blood in my brain seemed to be slowly expanding, and every heartbeat was accompanied by a roar of my pulse.

"Maybe I need to calm down. Maybe the newspaper I read just now made my anger level soar."

Gwen quickly found an excuse for herself.

"Is that all?"

Peter frowned and asked Gwen, "No other discomfort?"

“It was there in the beginning, but it’s gotten better now.”

Gwen took a deep breath and said, "It's like the feeling of weakness after strenuous exercise. That's how I felt just now, but I've recovered now."

"Maybe you should go to the hospital, Gwen."

Peter naturally wouldn't believe that things were so simple.

"Okay, I'll consider your suggestion, but it probably hasn't come to that point yet."

Gwen said she should be fine.

After Peter left, she exhaled, narrowed her eyes, and put her hand on her temple.

At this moment, the blood vessels in her temples were throbbing, her breathing seemed to have slowed down a lot, but her heartbeat was more than one hundred and forty times.

"Well, my heart rate is higher than an astronaut's ascent under the pressure of gravity."

Gwen muttered under her breath and she glanced towards Peter.

Suddenly, a strange emotion surged in her heart, as if the aura emanating from Peter's body made her feel dizzy.

And when I saw each other, my heart beat faster.

Could it be that my heart was beating faster than an astronaut taking off because I saw Peter?
Gwen touched her blushing face and wondered if she was a flower maniac.

Even though I have a great crush on Peter, does my heart beat faster just by looking at him?

Gwen was in deep confusion.

Peter on the other side pondered for a moment, then left his seat and walked outside.

He suspected that the smell in the air was the cause of Gwen's abnormality.

The only person who deserves suspicion is Teacher Helen.

In the classroom office.

"Peter, what's going on? It's not a good sign that you're here during class time."

Miss Fish looked up and saw Peter appear here, and spoke to him in a serious tone.

In addition to Miss Fish, there were two senior students in the office who were being scolded by Miss Fish for skipping the elementary French class.

"Billy Deloix and Henry Tennant, you two will stay after school for two periods."

After letting the two students who thought they were unlucky leave, Miss Fish turned her attention to Peter.

At the same time, she stuffed the form on the table into the drawer. With a "bang", the drawer was closed and her thumb was pinched.

Miss Fish grunted, turned gracefully, and faced Peter as if nothing had happened.

Peter: "."

"I want to look for Teacher Helen. Is she not here?"

Peter was silent for a second, then asked the weird and old-fashioned teacher where Helen was.

"I thought you came to ask for a petition."

Miss Fish coughed and said to Peter, "Many people have asked similar questions before you."

Miss Fish said Peter was a little late.

"My uniform response is that she has asked for leave."

"She asked for leave? Why?" Miss Fish pushed her heavy glasses and said to Peter, "I don't know. After all, she is not a student. She doesn't need my approval to ask for leave."

She seemed to be very upset about Helen being so popular among the male students. She muttered again:
"You students are like possessed. Maybe you should go to church and listen to the priest's advice. Be careful not to be tempted by the devil."

Peter heard Miss Fish's mumbling clearly.

He was misunderstood as a lecherous student chasing after a beautiful teacher, but he didn't care. Instead, he continued to ask the other party:
"What does Miss Fish know about the new teacher Helen?"

"Mr. Parker, this is not the question you should be asking."

Miss Fish's eyes turned serious. "If I were you, I would go back to class obediently."

As for her impression of Peter, he has always been a very honest type.

I like reading and studying scientific gadgets. Although I am often laughed at by those sports students, I always keep silent and dare not fight back.

Why did the other party now make her feel so weak as if she was facing the principal?

If an ordinary student dared to talk to her like this, she would have kicked him out long ago.

"I will, but there are some things that need to be dealt with by Teacher Helen."

Peter continued to tell her: "If it doesn't work, I'll have to take a leave of absence and go find her myself."

For Miss Fish, asking her to write a note for leave was more painful than killing her.

Sure enough, after hearing Peter's "threat", Miss Fish finally compromised.

"I don't know, Parker-san."

Miss Fish finally realized that the Peter in front of her was no longer the Peter who didn't dare to speak loudly to her before.

She said helplessly: "But I know her home address and email address, maybe you can contact her yourself."

As she spoke, she brought out the yellow leave approval slip.

Then, using a silver pocket pencil, he scribbled the other person's address and email address on it. As he was writing, his facial features shrank in pain from the pressure on his thumb.

What she told Peter was not a secret. New teachers would leave their addresses and contact information.

It's not difficult to know if you want to.

Besides, she didn't think a high school student like Peter would do anything bad.

In the classroom, Peter was looking at the address on the yellow leave approval slip in his hand when his cell phone suddenly rang.

Gwen sent her a text: "Peter, come to the school pool!"

"Swimming pool?"

After putting away his phone, he looked a little confused.

I remember that Gwen was not a member of the swimming team.

After hesitating for a moment, he stood up and walked towards the gymnasium.

The school has a swimming pool in the indoor stadium, and the conditions are very good, so it becomes a beautiful landscape of the school in summer.

But now that the weather is getting colder, it seems that no one goes swimming anymore.

Gwen is in the mood for a swim now?

A few minutes later.

Peter walked into the swimming pool in the gym.

Before entering, I could hear the faint sound of flowing water and splashing water.

Peter entered the large swimming pool just in time to see a white figure swimming in the water.

The other person was stretching her body in the swimming pool, swimming in a standard posture like a mermaid.

Peter watched quietly without saying anything.

In the entire huge swimming pool, the only sound was the sound of splashing water.
