They all have hidden attributes!

"Can I use it normally?" Takahashi Makoto asked deliberately.

Uesugi Maya gave a disgusted look and took two steps back, saying, "Scum."

The two walked out of the apartment building together when Takahashi Makoto's cell phone rang.

He stopped, took his phone out of his pocket, and looked down at the screen.

[Caller: Li Jianxing]

The call connected, and a sweet voice came from the phone.

"Gui'an, Chengjun, is Xiaoye by your side?"

"Yes." Takahashi Makoto looked up at Uesugi Maya.

"Hmm~ I see. Nekoya Hina was just sent back to Tokyo, to the University of Tokyo Hospital."

Chapter 83 is outdated (double rewards on the last day, please vote with monthly tickets).

University of Tokyo Hospital.

In the empty conference room, Nekoya Hina stood by the window, looking up at the intense, glaring sunlight, which made her instinctively close her eyes.

The clear sky was so bright it was unsettling, and my mental strength was pushed to its limit in the silence.

She opened the window, took a deep breath, and the warm air filled her lungs. In her view, the skyscrapers of Tokyo reflected the sunlight, just as complex and cold as when she first arrived in the capital.

The sound of a door opening came from behind her. Nekoya Hina turned around, scratched her head sheepishly, and gave Tachimi Yuki, who walked in with the medical report, a bright smile.

"Senior Lijian, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"It's alright, I just don't want Cheng-kun to worry about trivial things."

Li Jianxing placed the examination report on the conference table and briefly explained in a calm, gentle yet cold voice: "It's just some minor issues. Take some time to rest and remember to come back for a follow-up examination next month. Don't worry about the expenses. When you leave later, remember to pick up your knee brace and health supplements."

After saying that, she waved her hand, turned around, and walked out of the conference room.

Hina Nekoya's eyes dimmed, and she turned away to continue staring blankly at the sky.

I had some knee pain a few days ago, but I didn't pay any attention to it at the time. This morning, Coach Shirakawa noticed it while I was jogging and immediately sent me back to Tokyo.

Hina Nekoya's expression darkened, and her mood plummeted.

At first, she didn't know why she had to go back to Tokyo, until she heard Tachimi Yuki call Takahashi Makoto and then she understood what was going on.

It turns out that [the angel] had been keeping an eye on A-Cheng, wanting him to maintain a relaxed mood, and thus also took care of herself who was always around him.

"Actually... it's not really something to worry about."

Hina Nekoya muttered something under her breath, and another worry popped up.

Unable to participate in this year's national competition, I naturally couldn't keep my promise to Acheng. I clearly wanted to show him my best side...

A gust of wind blew in through the open window, gently lifting her chestnut hair, and her mood continued to sink as if she had lost her balance.

However, compared to my hometown, Tokyo is indeed a great place.

Hina Nekoya recalled when she first started playing badminton in elementary school, she didn't even have a goal, and for a long time afterward she didn't even know what tomorrow would bring, so she could only do what she could.

I came to Tokyo because I received a special invitation from Tsurumi Sawa. It's that simple. I don't have any of the special feelings you get in movies or TV dramas.

Until I met him in a strange, huge, and complicated city, amidst my confusion.

That's right, the most important thing is this:

Because I like him, I can draw strength from his words and find a goal to move forward. I didn't feel regret or loss on the way back to Tokyo because I knew that Acheng would continue to support me.

Hina Nekoya knows that she always lacks her own opinions and often doesn't know what to eat for lunch. When she's bored, she can only go with the flow and go shopping with the seniors in the badminton club.

This time, however, she felt an intense desire to express her feelings, her brown eyes filled with unwavering determination.

Thinking about Makoto Takahashi dating other people, and no longer feeling the height of his shoulders when standing next to him, the thought of losing that reassuring feeling immediately brought an unfathomable unease and loneliness.

The wind had stopped at some point, and the "click" of the door opening came from behind me, followed by the familiar voice of the person I had been thinking about.

"Haruna, did I disturb your crying?"

"How is that possible!"

Hina Nekoya turned to face Makoto Takahashi, the words of confession on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back.

To be precise, it was forcibly pushed back down.

Maya Uesugi and Yuki Tachimi followed Makoto Takahashi into the conference room. Their eyes met, sparks flew, and the air was thick with tension.

Even a fool wouldn't confess their feelings in this atmosphere.

Once you suppress your pent-up emotions, they will only be treasured.

"I've already asked the doctor for you. It's just overwork. The light music club is very busy during summer vacation, so come and help me."

Completely oblivious to the atmosphere between the two people behind him, Makoto Takahashi leisurely walked into the conference room, placed the fast food bag he was carrying on the conference table, and pulled out a chair to sit down.

He said this to keep Nekoya Hina by his side and prevent her from secretly practicing extra. Nekoya Hina was also well aware of Takahashi Makoto's personality.

"I won't be like those idiots in light novels who secretly practice extra, ruin their future, and make their friends sad."

Hina Nekoya walked to his side, opened the fast food bag, and saw the large portions of fries, onion rings, and fried chicken nuggets inside. Her mood clearly improved.

Seeing her pick up a French fry and pop it into her mouth, her eyes regaining their sparkle, Takahashi Makoto turned to Tachimi Yuki sitting beside him with a sincere gaze:

"Sachi-nee, thank you so much for today. That idiot Haruna is always a worry for me."

“Chengjun, I’m not happy at all to hear you speak to me in this tone of ‘my child has caused you trouble.’”

A subtle smile curved at the corners of Tachibana Yuki's lips. Her long, beautiful legs crossed beneath her blue skirt, and the skin's color was accentuated by the white stockings.

She held her right hand up to her eyes, squinted slightly, and said in a drawn-out, irresistible tone, "I'm not doing these things to be thanked."

Even though they were sitting at the same height, Makoto Takahashi felt as if she were looking down at him, scrutinizing him from above, as if her slender, white hand was about to reach out and grab him.

The brave cat stood in front of him at the crucial moment, fighting off his nemesis.

Maya Uesugi crossed her arms and walked between the two, her shapely buttocks, concealed by her long white dress, leaning against the conference table to block the view, and coldly mocked:

"Indiscriminate surveillance of everyone, you really have the nerve to do that."

Indeed, if it weren't for Tachimi Yuki's arrangements, Coach Shirakawa wouldn't have cared so much for Nekoya Hina, ensuring she received proper medical care.

"That's going too far, Xiaoye."

Not wanting to embarrass himself in front of outsiders, Tachikami Yuki lightly tapped her toes and slid her chair next to Takahashi Makoto.

She lightly rubbed the corner of her eye, feigning tears, and put on a pitiful and aggrieved expression: "I'm just concerned about Chengjun. Don't you understand the principle of loving someone because of them?"

"Ha, having the right starting point doesn't mean you can act recklessly. This has already been demonstrated in 'Crime and Punishment'."

"Waaah, Cheng-kun, do you also think I did something wrong?"

The girl's tears were too much of a tactic, and Uesugi Maya's cold gaze also turned to him. With their eyes focused on each other, Takahashi Seiichi was speechless for a moment.

Is this the legendary battleground right now?

Or is it some other, more complicated situation?

What would a male protagonist in a light novel usually do in this situation?

Stand upside down on the conference table, or jump out of the window?

As he was thinking, Nekoya Hina poked Takahashi Makoto's side from under the table, her glossy pink lips close to his ear:

"Acheng, what's wrong with you?"

"It's hard to explain to you."

Makoto Takahashi pushed her head back, coughed lightly, and met the gazes of Maya Uesugi and Yuki Tatsumi with a frank look: "To be honest, I don't think Yuki-nee would be so bored as to spy on Hina. She probably just specifically instructed Coach Shirakawa, right?"

He believes that sincerity is the most important thing for harmonious coexistence in the future.

"However, I hope Sister Xing can correct her stalker mentality of treating me as her personal property."

"Did you hear that? You're being disliked," Uesugi Maya said coldly.

"What? Cheng-kun is clearly praising me."

Tachikami Yuki tilted her head and revealed a gentle smile, her short golden hair cascading down: "Makoto-kun understands me very well, I like it."

Upon hearing [Angel] bluntly say that he liked her, Nekoya Hina's eyes widened, her pupils contracted, and her face showed a shocked expression.

What exactly happened during this period?

Even though she had guessed that Tachimi Yuki had feelings for Takahashi Makoto, the scene before her was still hard for her to accept. After all, Uesugi Maya's posture looked like she was completely possessing her food, not to mention the atmosphere just now was just like the legendary Shura field.

Acheng extinguished the flame immediately. Why is that?

Isn't he the worst at handling conflict?

Nekoya Hina picked up a piece of fried chicken and threw it into her mouth, chewing while staring at Takahashi Makoto with a suspicious look.

"stare--"

Makoto Takahashi didn't accept her gifts and threw the medical report at her: "Go get your medicine and knee pads yourself, and come with me to the light music club this afternoon."

"Oh." Nekoya Hina quickly snatched back a box of onion rings, took the report, and walked out of the meeting room.

After closing the door, she looked down at the medical report carefully, and after confirming that it was just overtraining, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Let's take a break for now and try again next year.

Light Music Club, huh? That sounds pretty good.

After Nekoya Hina left, Tachimi Yuki and Uesugi Maya could no longer restrain themselves. In the meeting room, the air felt like it was being torn apart by a knife.

Makoto Takahashi rested his elbows on the table, his fingers interlaced in front of his face, his helpless gaze fixed on Yuki Tachibana, who was holding his head with one hand, his dangerous gaze clashing with Maya Uesugi's icy stare.

The two of them weren't very familiar with Nekoya Hina, so they seemed quite calm just now.

In fact, the two had already had a fight when they met downstairs, and now it's time to continue. The strange [save] and [load] mechanism is probably proof of their past friendship.

"Of course, we should go to the mountains for training camps. Karuizawa is very cool in the summer."

After hearing from Kashima Reiko about the light music club's upcoming training camp, Tachimi Yuki immediately remembered that he was a member of the light music club.

When we met earlier, I took the initiative to talk to Makoto Takahashi about the training camp and suggested that we go to the villa in Karuizawa.
