[Super Hunter Lu Xiaonan]: I heard from the shop manager that you have a cold? Are you alright?

[Sakurako]: You actually care about people? That's surprising, but thank you anyway.

[Sakurako]: To be honest, I'm feeling a bit unwell... If you have time, could you buy me some medicine and food and bring it up to me?

Looking at the address that had been sent to him, Lu Nan got up from the station.

Ultimately, it's possible that I caught a cold because of myself, so I should go see a doctor.

……

Sakurako Busujima lived in a residential complex. Lu Nan found the place by comparing the building numbers, carrying a heavy plastic bag in his hand.

“3602… This should be it.” Lu Nan knocked on the door.

The door was quickly opened, and Sakurako Busujima, dressed in her pajamas, seemed to have run over, still a little out of breath: "Thank you for coming, Runan."

Surprisingly, Sakurako Busujima's room is unexpectedly... girly?

This woman actually bought a cabinet specifically to store all kinds of luxury goods, just like an otaku treats their cherished figurines.

Sakurako Busujima, sitting back on the bed, noticed Lu Nan's gaze and enthusiastically introduced them: "Ah, are you interested in them? Let me introduce you, this is Jenny, this is Ankari, and this is..."

"You actually gave them all names?!"

Sakurako Busujima said proudly, "Of course! They're all my treasured possessions!"

Lu Nan said helplessly, "What you need to care about now is not your collection, but yourself."

Sakurako Busujima then obediently crawled back into bed and lay down, even putting on a mask to prevent herself from infecting Lu Nan.

Lu Nan nodded in satisfaction: "I brought you the cold medicine you wanted, and some cold granules... Oh, by the way, do you want to drink some alcohol to sweat it out? I also borrowed a bottle of something good from the shop manager."

Sakura Tokushima turned to look at the vodka in Lu Nan's hand, then at Lu Nan's expectant face.

She said helplessly, "To be honest, I really suspect that your club might be some kind of alien club where you have to drink to survive, otherwise how could they have brainwashed you like this..."

Chapter 494 Rock Sugar Pear

"What are you saying? What kind of talk is that?!" Lu Nan said, dissatisfied. "Our club is a very legitimate club, you know. It enjoys a great reputation even in the school!"

Sakurako Busujima teased, "Is that so? It's true that you have a great reputation, but I bet it's a bad one. If it's a good one, then it means that I-Seishi University is not so simple."

Lu Nan was dejected. Although what Sakurako Busujima said wasn't very pleasant, it actually reflected reality perfectly...

"Let's not talk about that, so would you like some?" Lu Nan shook the bottle of liquor in his hand.

Sakurako Busujima looked at Lu Nan helplessly: "No, I'm sick, and besides, this prescription is a bit too high, isn't it?"

Lu Nan glanced at the prescription and said, "I think it's fine."

Sakurako Busujima sighed, "Don't treat everyone like a monster like you... Did you bring any food up?"

Lu Nan had no choice but to put down the wine and pick up a bucket of instant noodles, handing it over: "Here... but the flavor you wanted is sold out, so I bought a bucket of pickled cabbage instead."

Sakura looked at the instant noodles with pickled cabbage in her hand and, for some reason, suddenly didn't want to eat them: "Forget it, why do I suddenly have no appetite?"

Lu Nan said, "But if you don't eat something, it'll be hard for your cold to get better."

Sakurako Busujima lay on the bed, looking frail and weak: "But I don't have the strength to cook right now, and I don't really want to eat fast food..."

As she spoke, Sakurako Busujima glanced furtively at Lu Nan.

Lu Nan looked at her suggestive expression with a hint of helplessness: "You don't mean you want me to cook for you, do you?"

Sakurako Busujima nodded in surprise: "Really? Oh, thank you so much, Lunan!"

Lu Nan stood up helplessly: "Let me make this clear beforehand, don't blame me if it doesn't taste good."

Sakurako Busujima nodded: "I had no choice, you know. The medicine you bought is for taking after meals."

"I'm really scared of you." Lu Nan walked towards the kitchen to prepare something simple to cook. That's the good thing about small apartments; you can see everything clearly.

After glancing at the refrigerator, Lu Nan understood that the basic ingredients were all there, and there was even some leftover rice. He decided to cook some meat porridge; it would be good for the patient to have some hot porridge.

There's also a jar of sauce in the fridge, which would be good to go with porridge; at least it wouldn't be too bland.

Watching Lu Nan bustling around in his apron, Sakura Tokushima lay on the bed with burning eyes.

Every time Lu Nan turned around, he would look weak, as if he would pass away if he didn't eat something soon, which made Lu Nan a little anxious.

Hearing Sakurako Busujima coughing intermittently, Lu Nan turned his head and asked, "Is your throat sore?"

Sakurako Busujima was taken aback, then said weakly, "Um... I feel really uncomfortable."

Lu Nan poured a cup of hot water and placed it on the small table: "Let it cool down a bit before you drink it. I'll also make you some rock sugar pear soup; I saw you have pears in your fridge."

Sakurako Busujima was somewhat surprised: "You can do this too?"

Lu Nan began peeling and cutting the pears into pieces: "I learned it from an older sister in the village before, it's not a difficult thing."

Sakurako Busujima took a sip of hot water and looked at Lu Nan's back, feeling a warmth spreading through her entire body.

……

He ladled the cooked rock sugar pears into a bowl and placed it next to the meat porridge. After checking to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything, Lu Nan sat down as well.

"Here you go, the rock sugar pear soup can be drunk after dinner. If you think it's too bland, there's sauce too." Lu Nan folded his apron and put it aside. "How's it going? Any appetite?"

Sakurako Busujima's eyes softened as she looked at what Lu Nan had prepared: "Yes, thank you, Lu Nan."

She sat up, tied her loose hair into two small braids and placed them in front of her chest, tidied her hair, and then sat down at the small dining table.

She reached out and handed the spoon to Lu Nan: "Here you go."

Lu Nan was just about to play on his phone when he saw the spoon being handed to him and asked in confusion, "What's this for? I'm not hungry, you can eat it yourself."

"No, that's not it." Sakurako Busujima shook her head and pointed to her lips: "Shouldn't we be feeding the sick people at this point? I've got everything ready."

Lu Nan rolled his eyes: "Fine, don't eat then. You want me to feed you? What makes you think you're so great? Do you think you're Shanks?"

Just kidding, even if Shanks came today, he'd have to eat it himself.

"That's really going too far!" Sakurako Busujima pouted. "Fine, I'll eat it myself then."

When Sakurako Busujima took a spoonful of meat porridge, she was a little surprised: "It's delicious! I didn't expect you to be such a good cook, Lu Nan."

Lu Nan chuckled and said, "After all, I have to cook for myself most of the time."

Regardless of her earlier life as an orphan, even when she lived with her older brother, she still had to cook for herself, since her brother wouldn't eat cooked food.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Lu Nan stood up: "Take care to keep warm and get some rest."

Sakurako Busujima looked at Lu Nan with reluctance: "Are you leaving already? Can't you stay with me a little longer? I don't want to be alone again at this time..."

Lu Nan felt helpless; it was indeed quite unpleasant to be all alone when you were sick.

"Okay, since Daimiao doesn't need to go to the gym today, I'll go back later." Lu Nan sat down cross-legged again.

Sakurako Busujima smiled and said, "Thank you, Lu Nan~"

Perhaps because her mood improved and her appetite increased, Sakura quickly finished the bowl of meat porridge.

Because the patient couldn't get wet, Lu Nan had to start cleaning up the mess again.

Sakurako Busujima ate her rock sugar pears in small bites, holding her bowl, while watching Lu Nan wash the pots and dishes with great interest.

She couldn't help but exclaim, "This is so wonderful..."

Without turning his head, Lu Nan said, "Of course you think it's great since you don't have to work and just eat and watch."

Sakurako Busujima chuckled, "Well, I'm a patient, but I just feel really at ease. You know what I mean? That sense of security."

Lu Nan continued washing the dishes: "Yeah, I guess so."

Sakurako Busujima finished the last sip of rock sugar pear soup, feeling the warmth slide down her throat into her stomach: "And I haven't felt this way in a long time, so naturally I miss it a bit."

Lu Nan turned around and put the cup that Sakurako Busujima handed him into the sink: "So, is it time to discuss our families of origin?"

“Probably.” Sakurako Busujima sat on the bed, then lay down, staring at the ceiling. “My parents divorced because of incompatibility. I was raised by my grandfather in the countryside, and later he got sick…”

Lu Nan listened in silence.

Sakurako Busujima turned her head and smiled, "That's why I'm always so free and easy, all alone."

Chapter 495 The Family of Origin

Sakurako Busujima said, "So I'm sorry for joking about your family before... I'm really sorry."

Lu Nan wiped his hands with a tissue: "Hmm, you were very serious. I forgive you."

Sakurako Busujima asked, "And you, Lu Nan? Can you tell me about yourself?"

Lu Nan moved a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed: "Me? There's not much to say. It's just that I never knew who my parents were when I was little, and later..."

Lu Nan paused for a moment and then smiled and said, "Later, I met a kind-hearted older brother who adopted me and raised me until I was safe enough to protect myself in this world."

"Later, my older brother had something to do, so he entrusted me to an old man and a little girl. They took me back to a village, and I stayed there until I grew up. Later, I came here with Dai Miao."

Sakurako Busujima looked at the smile on Lu Nan's face and said, "You seem to be having a great time."

Lu Nan nodded: "Yes, compared to my parents whom I've never met, my older brother, the village chief, Lieyan, Huoya, Shuiyun, Daimiao... they are my family."

Sakurako Busujima exclaimed, "How enviable!"

Lu Nan laughed proudly, "Right? It's only natural to envy me."

Sakurako Busujima shook her head and looked at Lu Nan: "The ones who are enviable are not you, but them."

"I envy them for being able to stay by your side."

Lu Nan said helplessly, "There's nothing to envy, is there?"

Sakurako Busujima didn't answer the question, but just smiled and said, "By the way, speaking of which, I recently went to see a psychologist."

Upon hearing this, Lu Nan immediately became interested: "Psychologist? I've never seen one before. What do they look like? Are they all those intellectual, handsome guys in white coats and glasses, or the refined beast type?"

Sakurako Busujima looked at Lu Nan helplessly: "I have to say, your emotional intelligence is... never mind, I knew you would ask this, so I even took pictures."

As she spoke, Sakura Tokushima took out her phone and showed it to Lu Nan, who immediately looked like his worldview had been shattered.

"How could it be... a balding middle-aged man in overalls... that's not how it's portrayed in TV dramas..."

Sakurako Busujima smugly hummed, "I knew you'd have this expression when we took the picture, hahaha!"
