Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

A surge of anger ignited Qin Ruoke's anger. She wanted to retort, but after organizing her thoughts, she hesitated.

She found it irrefutable.

So she was like a deflated balloon, letting Yu Zhe pull her forward.

Moreover, she was in a very low mood: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble. Your good grades are due to your ability. I not only lost in my studies, but I also had problems with my emotional control. I just kept agonizing over it. In short, I'm very sorry."

Since she admitted it herself, well... she probably won't have any more self-harm tendencies when she's angry.

Yu Zhe felt a little relieved: "No, you've done very well. If this were a spoiled young lady, she would only be furious and powerless. I would even admire your composure."

"..."

No blame... Qin Ruoke was a little surprised. She had been very angry when Su Yuzhe grabbed her hand, but after calming down, she felt inexplicably at ease.

The two had arrived at the door of the infirmary; the door was open, and they went inside.

When I got there, I found that the doctor in the infirmary was not there.

It's okay if she's not here. Yu Zhe let go of Qin Ruoke's hand, then turned around and closed the door of the infirmary. He then started looking for iodine and some medicines that could be used to reduce swelling on the medicine shelf.

The all-powerful Yu Zhe is back to work.

The application of medicines was also one of his compulsory courses from a young age!

By the time Qin Ruoke realized what was happening, Yu Zhe was already squatting in front of her with a bunch of small bottles.

"Hand, stretch out."

"Ah...okay..."

This time, Qin Ruoke was smarter. If she had reacted any slower, he might have grabbed her again, and that would have really hurt.

Gently support Qin Ruoke's swollen right hand with gauze, then disinfect it and slowly apply some anti-swelling medication to it with a cotton swab.

This process is very slow. Yu Zhe's roughness just now was just to teach her a lesson. Now that the goal has been achieved, it's time to take care of the patient.

Feeling the cotton swab gently moving in her right palm, what could Qin Ruoke say at this moment?

It feels a bit warm.

Even though it was a freezing cold day and the clinic wasn't heated, there was an indescribable warmth about it.

She's being protected, I guess.

Although I didn't want to admit it, I was secretly envious of Su Zixiao a few days ago, wondering what it felt like to be protected.

Now that she knows, she feels at ease and warm. She doesn't need to say anything; she hasn't felt this relaxed in many years.

After what seemed like an eternity, she finally spoke slowly: "Was it worth it?"

"What?" Yu Zhe didn't know what she meant.

A tear glistened in Qin Ruoke's eye, and her voice choked with emotion: "I mean... is it worth it for someone like me? You take care of me like this, even the rich young ladies don't get this kind of treatment, and I... am poor, incompetent, and have low self-esteem. I'm inferior to everyone else in every way. Do I even deserve... deserve to sit here like this?"

"Why are there so many silly children in this world?"

Yu Zhe's hand paused for a moment, but he quickly resumed his normal movements, though he let out a heavy sigh.

He looked into Qin Ruoke's cherry-colored eyes. That world seemed to be a place where cherry blossoms should be falling all over the sky, dancing freely in this vast world.

But fate has made you run around in circles, and my desire to help you is purely wishful thinking on my part, and has nothing to do with you.

Thinking of all this, Yu Zhe met Qin Ruoke's cherry blossom-like eyes with a gentle smile: "You need to define who you are, but I need to judge who you are in my eyes. I think you are very cute, so helping you is my own business."

15. How about going to a comic convention?

To be honest, Qin Ruoke didn't understand what he was saying, but she could really feel the care and goodwill it contained.

It was the first time I had been treated with such kindness, and for some reason, the gloom in my heart had dissipated considerably.

After applying the medicine, Yu Zhe told Qin Ruoke to lie down on the hospital bed and rest.

Qin Ruoke was definitely not willing. She sat up and said, "No way! I haven't done a single problem today. If I slack off like this, I'll have no chance at all."

"Alright, alright, you study maniac." Yu Zhe pressed her shoulders and put her back on the pillow. "Your grades won't drop even if you don't do practice problems for a day or two. Anyway, you can't write anymore. If you don't pay attention to recovery and it continues to affect your college entrance exam, it will directly affect your grades."

"But…"

Su Yuzhe is right, but I still can't get over this mental hurdle.

Someone who is used to studying will always feel very uncomfortable lying down during study time.

Seeing that she was still conflicted, Yu Zhe pulled out his trump card: "How about this, actually, your grades have already reached their peak, or rather, exceeded their limit. There really isn't much room for improvement. How about you come to my house another day, and we have a study session? I'll teach you some test-taking tips, and if they can help you gain another point or two, that would be useful."

"Study session?" This word surprised Qin Ruoke. "Although I would be happy if you were willing to help me, wouldn't that disrupt your own rhythm? And as a competitor, is it really okay for you to help me like this?"

Although one is first in the grade and the other is second, it's fair to say they are competitors.

But Yu Zhe bluntly stated: "Competitors? Do you think you deserve that title?"

"..."

Qin Ruoke was furious and felt cold. Just a moment ago she said she wasn't that bad... and now she's saying she's not worthy.

But she had no reason to refute it, because when faced with a genius, she really couldn't say she had any competitive advantage and could only be the one receiving help.

So she changed her approach: "Well...do you need any servants at home...well, I mean maids or something, like cooks and cleaners. I can ask for no salary, and use it to repay you for helping me with my studies."

Although Yu Zhe felt that everyone he had met recently had their own unique characteristics, they were all indeed good kids.

Very thoughtful.

If you teach her without expecting anything in return, like giving her charity, she definitely won't accept it because of her strong will.

So Yu Zhe agreed with her point of view: "Okay, then you can also work part-time as my maid on the day of the study session. You'll be in charge of cooking and cleaning. How about next Saturday? Do you have time?"

This way, Zixiao can have an easier time and do less housework.

Get more in one fell swoop.

Qin Ruoke, without any hesitation, agreed: "Okay, I understand. Thank you so much."

Young Master Su Yuzhe.

Why did you suddenly become so respectful?!

Yu Zhe waved his hand: "Just call me Su Yu Zhe, don't call me that, it's not that serious."

After saying that, he turned around. He had finished his business here, but there were other things to take care of.

"Then I'll be going now. Take good care of your injury. There's no rush to learn, especially since you've already built such a solid foundation. Goodbye for now, see you in the classroom."

See you in the classroom.

"Oh?" Yu Zhe was a little surprised. Qin Ruoke was very obedient now, and her attitude towards him seemed to have changed a lot.

Is it really because of my handsomeness, Su Yuzhe?

I'm a little happy.

After leaving the infirmary, Yu Zhe made a phone call to the doctor, telling Qin Ruoke to rest there and not to disturb her.

After what happened today, I suppose I and Qin Ruoke can become friends.

After praising his own cleverness, Yu Zhe headed to his next destination.

Luo Xiaomeng's Comic Club.

Since he said he wanted to join, he couldn't just talk the talk; he had to walk the walk. Besides, Yu Zhe had a great idea.

Pushing open the door to the comics club, Luo Xiaomeng, sitting on a small chair in the distance, twitched her pigtails, as if using radar to accurately identify who had arrived.

Ahem, actually there's no need to probe, since the only people who come to this forgotten club are the club president Luo Xiaomeng and the vice president Su Yuzhe.

Yu Zhe closed the door, and Luo Xiaomeng happened to run up to him.

"Yu Zhe, you're here! How's the event we talked about last time? What are your thoughts?"

She was referring to the suggestion Yu Zhe had made last time that the club should have some activities.

“Hmm, I’ve got it.” Yu Zhe crossed his arms and walked in front of Luo Xiaomeng. “Anyway, the comic club has to be related to the world of anime and manga. You’re not good at drawing comics, and if you’re always just reading comics, it’ll become a club for otaku. So we might as well do some outdoor activities.”

Luo Xiaomeng tilted her head in confusion: "Outdoor activities?"

“That’s right.” Yu Zhe opened his phone and showed Luo Xiaomeng a push notification. “Comic convention, did you see that? We should go out more often. I think this is a good idea. Going to a comic convention can be both a club activity and a fun activity. I think this is a good idea.”

Su Yuzhe, a long-time anime fan, finally had the chance to go to anime conventions again. Now that he was free, he had to have some fun.

Looking at the poster for the comic convention that will be held in Dongcheng this weekend on her phone, Luo Xiaomeng thought it was pretty good!

But she still has some worries: "Sigh... but my parents really treat me like a child, they're very strict with me, I guess they won't let me go out by myself on weekends."

Yu Zhe chuckled, as if this was within his expectations: "Yeah, we won't let you go out by yourself, but you have friends, that's me. Tell me, when the time comes, I'll go to your house to call you. Do you think your parents can stop you from going out to play?"

"Yeah! That way we'll definitely be able to get out."

What Luo Xiaomeng is thinking right now is something Yu Zhe definitely doesn't know.

She knew very well that if Yu Zhe, this boy, came to her house and wanted to take her out, her parents would be a fool to agree.

But Yu Zhe doesn't look like a boy!

So there's absolutely no problem! If they could come to pick me up dressed as women, that would be even more perfect!

Actually, Yu Zhe had another idea: if you're going to organize an event, it should be comprehensive.

"Also, since we're going to the comic convention anyway, let's not just watch. Let's make our own characters. Xiaomeng, you can choose one yourself. I'll have the Su family make the costumes."

"Cosplay?" Luo Xiaomeng was suddenly pleasantly surprised. She had wanted to try it for a long time but never had the chance.

but…

"I don't even know what characters I can cosplay... Look at my small frame, there are so few roles I can play."

She looked aggrieved; it wasn't her fault that she was short.

However, Yu Zhe had already thought of a solution for her: "Look at your blue hair and light blue eyes, you'd look absolutely perfect as Yoshino! Okay, it's decided then!"

"Yoshino?" As someone who frequently watches anime, Luo Xiaomeng actually knew her. "Is she the one who always carries a rabbit in her hand?"

"That's right, isn't it perfect?"

"I don't know if it's suitable or not, but..." Luo Xiaomeng knew that Yu Zhe's eyes were shining with anticipation, "I always feel... it's just that Yu Zhe wants to see it..."

"Hey, did you find out? Seriously, the first time I saw you, I thought you would be perfect for cosplaying this character! Trust me, you would be super cute."

Seeing Yu Zhe's expectant look, Luo Xiaomeng, for some reason, felt that she wasn't unwilling at all, and said in a slightly embarrassed voice, "Okay... if that's what you say, Yu Zhe."
