I was plotting against Hoshino Ai but was pushed back

Um... I didn't go back to my room to sleep... Why am I still using something as a pillow? It's warm and soft, a little bit uncomfortable, but still quite comfortable.

What is it?

The confused girl, unable to sort out the situation, slowly raised her head and looked towards the place where her head was resting.

Saitohiko found that Hoshino Ai, who was resting her head on his shoulder, had woken up, so he tried to speak softly to her, "Are you awake?"

The girl, whose mind was in a mess and unable to think, suddenly heard a voice ringing in her ear. She was so scared that she jumped up and moved away from Saito Hiko.

"You scared me!" She had just escaped and regained consciousness, so she complained to Saito Hiko who had just spoken in her ear.

"I have tried my best to speak to you in a soft and low voice." Saito Hiko felt helpless when he heard Hoshino Ai's accusations against him.

Hoshino Ai also knew that she was just frightened and it was not intentional on Saito Hiko's part, so she changed the subject and asked, "How long have I slept?"

"Not much, just fifty minutes." Saito Hiko took out his cell phone and checked the time.

"One hour? Let's continue studying. We've been delayed for so long." Hoshino Ai lifted the quilt and stood up.

Saito Yan also stood up and tidied the quilt, "No hurry, go boil some water first."

"Oh...but it's okay to drink tap water, right?" Hoshino Ai asked Saito Hiko, but her body walked towards the kitchen.

No matter which one you choose, you have to go to the kitchen to get water.

"It's healthy to drink boiled water." Saitohiko said as a matter of course.

"But the president, Kyoko, and most of the people I meet drink tap water directly. I haven't seen them deliberately boil water to drink. Besides, doesn't tap water already meet drinking standards?" Hoshino Ai talked about the examples she had seen over the years.

"Meeting the drinking standards doesn't mean there's no problem. You know, even drinking cold water can give you a stomachache, let alone tap water? There will be more or less bacteria and viruses in the water. Drinking it directly will increase the risk of getting a stomachache and getting sick. Also, the water doesn't taste as good as boiled water." Saito Hiko spoke out the deep memories in his mind.

"Boiling water not only kills bacteria and viruses in the water, but also warms the body, promotes metabolism and improves immunity."

"Is the risk of tap water so great?" When Hoshino Ai heard Saito Hiko's words, she was immediately grateful that she had never gotten a stomachache or gotten sick after drinking tap water before.

Seeing that Hoshino Ai's focus was on the wrong thing, Saito Yan said, "Didn't you drink hot water this morning? Wasn't your body warm after drinking it?"

"One bitter and one sweet... It does feel warm after drinking it..." Hoshino Ai recalled the experience of Saito Yan pouring water for her in the morning, "As for the taste you mentioned... I didn't notice it, my attention was on the taste..."

She put water in the pot and started to boil it as Saitohiko requested.

"Then you can compare later. What time do you plan to study in the afternoon?" Saito Hiko placed the folded quilt in the middle of the sofa and then walked towards the kitchen.

"Half past four?" Hoshino Ai threw the question back.

"Why is it a question? Actually, I'm even willing to tutor you until 10 o'clock in the evening." Saito Hiko replied.

"So long? Just spare me!" When Hoshino Ai heard the time Saito Hiko said, she simply begged him for mercy.

She used the potion in the morning and was concentrating on her textbooks, which caused her to feel sore all over even when eating. Also for this reason, she felt comfortable lying on the sofa and suddenly fell asleep.

If it happened twice more, which would take almost eight hours, she wouldn't be able to bear it.

If it really happened twice more, she felt that she might have to take a day off tomorrow morning.

Although she thought this was caused by sitting for a long time, she hardly moved after getting into the state.

"Then let's do it at 4:30." When Saito Hiko heard Hoshino Ai's begging for mercy, he couldn't help but wonder whether the potion had any side effects.

The system's potion won't have any side effects, right?

He now reached the kitchen entrance.

"Okay~" Hoshino Ai saw Saito Yan walking into the kitchen, "What else do you want to do? Isn't the water already boiled for you?"

"Nothing, just some preparations in advance. I'll prepare some syrup and give you the medicine drops." Saito Hiko replied.

"I don't want to drink anymore..." Hoshino Ai wanted to try to study by her own perseverance.

"If you find it bitter, why not add more water and sugar?" Saito Yan looked at Hoshino Ai in confusion, "Didn't you experience the effect of the medicine this morning?"

"After finishing with you in the morning, my back and waist ached, and my legs felt weak..." Hoshino Ai had no choice but to express her experience.

"It's only been more than an hour, you must be in a bad condition. However, sitting in a chair for a long time without moving can indeed cause discomfort. But I will help you manage your time this time, so you don't have to worry about this problem again." Saito Hiko understood when he heard Hoshino Ai's answer.

He was originally worried that the medicine might have side effects, but it turned out to be just a problem of poor blood circulation due to sitting for a long time.

"Is it really just because of sitting for a long time?" Hoshino Ai was skeptical. She had never had this experience before and didn't know if she would feel tired if she concentrated on sitting for a long time. She didn't feel uncomfortable sitting normally.

"In fact, you feel uncomfortable because your Qi and blood are not flowing smoothly." Saitohiko explained: "If the Qi and blood are not flowing smoothly, you will experience dizziness and blackness in front of your eyes. For example, if you stand up after squatting for a long time, this phenomenon is easy to occur."

As he spoke, he found cups and washed the bowls and prepared them for use.

"So this is ah…"

The girl showed a look of understanding.

After the water was boiled, Saito Hiko poured hot water on each other again. When it reached the right temperature, he poured a little on Hoshino Ai first and asked her to try and compare the boiled water with the unboiled water.

Hoshino Ai first filled the cup with tap water and drank it, then filled it with hot water.

After she finished drinking it, she recalled it for a while and compared it: "Now I feel that hot water is indeed better... But shouldn't the control experiment be conducted under the same conditions? You have one part cold water and one part hot water... But after drinking it, my stomach is indeed warm and comfortable."

"It doesn't matter. You should take the medicine and continue with me." Saito Hiko watched Hoshino Ai come to a conclusion and then urged her.

"Half past four, what time is it now?" Hoshino Ai asked Saito Hiko.

Saitohiko took out his cell phone to check the time.

13:21

He told the time to Hoshino Ai.

"There are still three hours until 4:30, so it should be six drops?" Hoshino Ai asked Saito Hiko.

Saito Yan nodded, but thinking of her condition after taking the medicine in the morning, he reminded her: "Six drops at a time, it will be very bitter."

"This morning I was afraid that adding sugar would affect the efficacy of the medicine, but you said it was okay, so this time I can just add sugar directly." Hoshino Ai turned her gaze to Saito Hiko as if she was looking at a fool.

"Eating too much sugar can cause tooth decay~" Saito Hiko kindly reminded the girl.

"Are you looking for trouble on purpose?" Hoshino Ai couldn't help but clench her fists when she heard Saito Hiko's words. She seldom eats sweets, so how could it be so easy for her to get cavities?

Seeing that she clenched her fists, Saito Yan stopped teasing her and silently poured hot water into the bowl for himself to drink.

Hoshino Ai found the small potion bottle, took it, and dropped six drops into the cup of hot water in front of her, then scooped two large spoonfuls of sugar from the sugar jar into it.

Shake the cup to mix the hot water, medicine and sugar together.

This time, the water seemed to become slightly turbid because there was more medicine.

She picked up the cup and tasted the mixed liquid.

The sweet and bitter taste lingers on the lips and teeth.

The taste is so weird... Even with so much sugar added, it still can't cover up the bitterness... But I don't feel sleepy after drinking it...

The girl drank the medicine in one breath, and her insights began to emerge.

"Let's go, let's go back to the room and continue." Hoshino Ai said while washing the cup.

"Yeah." Saito Hiko nodded and returned to Hoshino Ai's room first.

After the two returned to the room, they started studying again. This time, Saito Hiko was careful to let Hoshino Ai stretch her muscles to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable due to poor blood circulation like in the morning.

"Huh... It's finally over." As soon as the effect of the drug wore off, Hoshino Ai's concentration immediately slackened and she became resistant to studying. She immediately closed the textbook, walked to the bed and lay down on it without caring about her image. "I'm so tired... This is the first time I feel that studying is a tiring thing. It's just sitting..."

"You won't even study for one more minute." Seeing Hoshino Ai leave, Saito Hiko also closed his book and adjusted his chair to face Hoshino Ai.

"I've been studying hard for three hours straight. Not only do you not praise me, but you also complain about me." Hoshino Ai was feeling annoyed after finishing her studies when she heard Saito Hiko say this.

"Yanjun is a big idiot!" the girl shouted with resentment.

After she finished speaking, she hugged the doll on the bed tightly again, wrapped her arms around it tightly, and her white arms were sunk into the doll.

It's like venting the anger in my heart.

Saito Hiko felt a little embarrassed when he heard Hoshino Ai's complaints. He was silent for half a second and suggested, "Shall we go for a walk?"

"No, let me rest for a while. Three hours... I'm too tired..." Hoshino Ai hugged the doll tightly for a while, then felt exhausted and relaxed her arms.

Saitohiko stood up and walked to Hoshino Ai, stretched out his hand and placed it on top of her, "The more you lie down, the more tired you will be. It's better to exercise to restore your energy."

"But I really don't want to move." Hoshino Ai said this, but she pushed the teddy bear aside and stretched out her right hand to hold Saito Hiko's hand that was placed above her.

When Saitohiko saw the girl holding his hand, he took advantage of the situation and pulled her up.

After I pulled her up, I didn't see her walking on her own, so I had to pull her again and walk out.

Hoshino Ai followed Saito Hiko's lead and followed him out.

Saito Hiko pulled Hoshino Ai out of the room and heard a noise coming from the kitchen.

"Let's go out and relax and come back later." Saito Hiko thought for a moment and shouted towards the living room.

"I understand. You guys go ahead." Kyoko's voice came from the kitchen.

At this moment she was busy preparing dinner.

Saito Hiko took Hoshino Ai's hand, opened the door and walked outside.

During this time, the girl followed Saito Hiko's lead and took the initiative to follow him.

Therefore, Saito Hiko was able to take Hoshino Ai away easily without any effort.

"Where are we going?" Hoshino Ai tried to ask Saito Hiko about the walking route.

"I'm not familiar with this place and this is my first time here. Normally, you should lead me." Saito Hiko took Hoshino Ai down the stairs.

"I'm not familiar with it either..." Hoshino Ai hesitated for a moment before saying this.

"I don't believe it. You've lived here for at least two months. You must be more familiar with it than I am. You should have one or two good places you like, right?" Saito Hiko took Hoshino Ai downstairs.

"No... there's no place that I like..." The girl was silent for a while before speaking.

It seems like you have stepped on a landmine?

When Saito Hiko saw that Hoshino Ai did not reply immediately, his tone became low, as if he was unhappy.

He immediately said: "No, we can go find it together!"

"How can it be so easy to find a good place? Even if we find one, I think those places must have been crowded..." the girl said sadly.

"Let's run, get ready!" Seeing that Hoshino Ai seemed to be in a negative mood, Saito Hiko directly reminded her, and then pulled the girl to run.
