For the peace of the Lonely Band, please sacrifice yourself!

"Don't look at it, there is no portal, I came in from the main entrance." His imagination is really rich, but this is the real world. Wang Yueshuo rolled his eyes, closed the valve, turned back to look at the confused girl, and explained helplessly.

What comes into view is a cute girl next door wearing beige plush pajamas and a rabbit-ear style hat. Her long pink hair falls casually and hangs loosely on her shoulders. Her pretty face has the laziness of a crabapple blossom that has not yet woken up. She looks particularly gentle and obedient. Looking down, you can see a neck as crystal clear as snow and the bulging and graceful snow-capped mountain.

"I heard you had a fever, so I came to see you."

So... that's what happened~

"Oh...um..."

Goto Ichiri nodded like a stupid goose.

"Why are you in a daze? Have you gone crazy with the fever?" Wang Yueshuo poked her forehead with a smile, then gently placed his hand on her forehead for a few seconds, and suddenly froze.

Through the perception of his palm, he could clearly feel that the skin on the girl's forehead was gradually getting warmer. He muttered to himself in a worried tone: "Well, it still feels a little hot. When I came here, Auntie told me that you had already taken the medicine. How do you feel now, Yili?"

Goto Ichiri blinked and felt his face getting hot. His clear and bright blue eyes reflected Shuo's concerned look, and he couldn't help showing a confused and shy light. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed the boy's wrist, turned his face slightly, and answered in a somewhat unclear voice:

"Ah, I still feel dizzy and my body is light..."

"Then it seems that we should rest for a while." Wang Yueshuo glanced at his wrist that was grabbed and released by the girl, turned around and took a white porcelain bowl to fill half a bowl of vegetable porridge, "Then drink this bowl of porridge and go back to the room to sleep. Be careful of the heat when it comes out of the pot."

"Drink some porridge, it should make you feel better. When I was a kid and had a fever and was sick, my mother would make porridge for me."

"Brother Shuo cooked it?"

"Yes, and I used fresh vegetables that I bought from the supermarket this morning."

"Okay...ok." Goto Ichiri hadn't had breakfast yet. Now, after smelling the fresh and rich aroma of vegetable porridge, he was already feeling a little hungry. He took a spoon from the drawer, then followed and sat down obediently on the chair.

"Do you want me to feed you?" Wang Yueshuo thought for a moment and asked.

Eh? Goto Ichiri's eyes widened in disbelief.

It turns out...having a fever is such a lucky thing!

I can actually get the reward of being fed by Brother Shuo tenderly? !

This was a beautiful dream that I only dared to think about secretly before!!!

Hey hey~

So Goto Ichiri secretly glanced at his arm and sincerely apologized in his heart, "Sorry about my arm, please stay depressed today." The next second, he decisively put the spoon in Mochizuki Saku's hand.

"Then... I'll leave it to brother Saku." Goto Ichiri's voice was soft and cute, and a little embarrassed.

Although he still had the energy to eat, but... now was a good opportunity for Brother Shuo to feed him porridge! Goto Ichiri was already a little excited. After all, if he missed this good opportunity once, he would really miss it. There was no replay!

Imagine, on a quiet and warm afternoon, the sun shines through the window onto the dining table, and Brother Shuo, dressed in white, smiles gently. He gently scoops a small spoonful of porridge, then blows away the hot air carefully, and finally feeds her one spoonful at a time. He also asks her if the porridge is hot, whether it needs to cool down for a while, and whether she wants to continue drinking it.

Now, the choice leading to that route is before me, and I must seize this opportunity, which may be the only one in my life!

Goto Ichiri was already extremely excited, and under her beige pajamas, her two little hands were clenched into fists nervously.

Mochizuki Saku was equally nervous. He asked that question as soon as he had a flash of inspiration. He regretted it as soon as he said it. Of course... he didn't expect that Goto Ichiri, the timid and shy little guy in the past, would agree and even seemed impatient.

Facing those eyes that revealed expectation, they were so dazzling that Wang Yueshuo couldn't bring himself to refuse.

Sighing in his heart, Mochizuki Saku moved closer to Goto Ichiri and picked up the bowl.

"Ah~"

“Ah~ um~”

The girl drank it happily, and every sip made her feel extremely happy.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sweet smile.

...........

After finishing the porridge, Mochizuki Saku took the bowl to the sink to wash it, and Goto Ichiri followed him obediently.

"You have a fever, how about I make some light soup for lunch?"

Wang Yueshuo asked softly while washing dishes.

After getting the girl's affirmative response, he continued to ask: "There is still a lot of vegetable porridge in the pot, so can I make some tofu meatball soup and garlic lettuce?"

"Yeah, that's enough, I don't have a big appetite." Goto Ichiri waved his hands and declined.

"Yes, a cold and fever will indeed affect appetite."

"Brother Shuo... aren't you going back to school for classes in the afternoon?" Her plush slippers tapped the floor lightly, and her fair hands were behind her back, nervously crossed together. Her gaze wandered, sometimes falling on the dripping sound of the sink, and sometimes on the boy's handsome profile. Goto Ichiri hesitated for a while before asking.

"Well, I took a day off."

"Then...then..."

Doesn't this mean that Brother Shuo can accompany me all day? !

It was as if the whole world had become brighter. Goto Ichiri covered his mouth in surprise, his bright eyes blinking, his heart beating with joy. After his emotions calmed down a little, he continued to ask: "So what are your plans for the afternoon, brother Shuo?"

"As for the afternoon..." Wang Yueshuo put the cleaned bowl back in place, tilted his head, and looked at her with a smile:

"I don't have anything else to do, or are you expecting me to leave?"

Chapter 45: Stay with me, don’t leave

It turns out that what Goto Ichiri needs most right now is rest.

After lunch, she took out two game controllers from the bedroom closet and looked at Mochizuki Saku eagerly. They played many games, such as Plumber Saves the Princess, Plumber Racing, and Hell's Battlegrounds. The two of them sat together and had a lot of fun. Although her skills were a little green because no one usually played with her, Goto Ichiri looked particularly happy, with her mouth corners raised, and her cheerful laughter came one after another. Her autumn eyes also showed a long-lost expression of joy and unwillingness to admit defeat.

Hearing the girl's laughter, Wang Yueshuo couldn't help but smile.

But after playing for a while, little Pochi yawned and felt a little sleepy.

"Let's save the game and play it again next time?" asked Wang Yueshuo.

Goto Ichiri raised her head, looked at the boy's concerned eyes and shook her head slightly: "There is not much content later, I'll just watch brother Saku play." After that, she curled up on her side like a docile and well-behaved cat, with her head resting on Mochizuki Saku's thigh.

"...This...this shouldn't disturb Brother Saku from playing games, right?" This was the excuse Goto Ichiri made for his seemingly 'rude' behavior.

Mochizuki Saku really didn't expect Ichiri to be so bold. Although he couldn't see the girl's face clearly, he knew that she was probably blushing with shyness. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Goto Ichiri's beautiful long hair as if he was rubbing a cat, and responded softly, "Well, I won't disturb you."

"Really? That's good..." Goto Ichiri's voice was so soft. When Mochizuki Saku couldn't see her, she touched her face. It was so hot. My face should be very red now. Fortunately, Saku can't see it... Wait, he shouldn't be able to see it, right... ?

Perhaps she hadn't thought of this at first. She suddenly wanted to bury her face in it, leaving only the back of her head. Unfortunately, when she turned her head, Mochizuki Saku suddenly trembled for some reason. The next second, she heard the boy's panicked voice, "Don't move."

Goto Ichiri suddenly stopped moving and said "oh" in a wronged tone.

She curled her lips. If Brother Shuo played the game alone, he would definitely finish it easily, right?

But at the moment, Wang Yueshuo had no intention of paying attention to these things. His mind was so distracted that he couldn't concentrate at all. He made mistakes several times when releasing his skills. For example, he released them too early, released them in the opposite direction, and failed to connect the combo. His fierce and powerful offensive turned into failure.

It seems like I can’t hold my gun down anymore…?

Finally, looking at the big LOSE displayed on the screen, Mochizuki Saku fell into a brief silence, and then coaxed Goto Ichiri to go back to her room and sleep. He turned off the game console, packed up the controller, and followed her upstairs.

Compared to the scary decorations when Hongxia and Kita came, Goto Ichiri's room now is simple and warm. The window of the room lets in bright sunlight through the curtains. There are some green plants on the windowsill, adding vitality to the room. There is a guitar-shaped plush toy on the pink mattress, which looks fresh and comfortable.

Mochizuki Saku's eyes fell on the guitar doll, and a flash of reminiscence flashed in his eyes. If he remembered correctly, this was the birthday gift he gave to Goto Ichiri two years ago? As expected, Ichiri is still keeping it well. She has always cherished these things~

After finishing the antipyretic medicine, Goto Ichiri drank a large glass of water before he obediently got into bed.

"Have a good rest." Wang Yueshuo walked to the bed, touched her forehead, felt her body temperature, and said softly, "Do you want me to tell you a bedtime story?"

Wang Yueshuo remembers that when he was in the first grade and had a cold and fever, he liked to listen to bedtime stories.

Goto Ichiri was stunned as if he had not expected it, then hid half of his head in the quilt, suppressed his shame and nodded, and the girl in the quilt's eyes curved into beautiful crescents.

"A long time ago, there was a small village surrounded by mountains, with spring all year round and picturesque scenery..."

..........

【Love and Dear Band】

[Hongxia: I’m so worried about Pochi! I haven’t seen her reply to my message in a while.]

[Kita: Pochi-chan should be resting and not checking the messages on her phone.]

[Shuo: Yili has fallen asleep after taking the medicine. He seems to be recovering well. Don’t worry too much.]

[Kita: Eh? Mochizuki-senpai is at Pochi-chan's house now!]

[Shuo: Well, I was really worried about her at school, so I asked for leave from my teacher and came to see her.]

Mochizuki Saku put down his phone and glanced at Goto Ichiri who was sleeping peacefully. The girl's face had returned to its usual rosy color, her breathing had become steady, and even a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Have a good rest, Ichiri, I'm leaving first." Mochizuki Saku leaned over and whispered in Goto Ichiri's ear, and then he turned around and prepared to leave. He almost stumbled as he turned around, and then he suddenly realized that Ichiri had grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly without knowing when.

"Brother Shuo...don't go...stay with me..."

........

At Shimokitazawa High School, Ichichi Hongka and Yamada Ryo, both in their winter school uniforms, put down their phones and looked at each other.

"Didn't you expect Saku-san to take a leave to visit Pochi?" Yamada Ryo bit the straw of his strawberry milk and smiled maliciously.

Hongxia was lying on the desk with her hands stretched straight, fiddling with her cell phone with her ten slender white fingers: "I thought of it, considering their relationship as siblings, isn't it normal for Shuo to take care of little Pochi?" After saying that, she rolled her eyes.

"Then why do you look so weird?" Yamada Ryo took a big sip and finished the milk, then tilted his head, pretending to be confused.

"I... I just didn't expect Shuo to be so quick!" Ijichi Hongxia blushed and explained hurriedly, "Originally, I was thinking of buying some fruits and visiting Pochi-chan after school."

"Oh~" Yamada Ryo lifted her chin, and drew out the sound as if unintentionally, but the smirk on her face became even more intense when she saw Hongxia's fingers suddenly exerting force, "Yeah, then I'll assume you are, so do you still want to go find Pochi after school?"

Hongxia turned around and saw the cunning in Liang's eyes. He was looking at her like an idiot.

"Of course, we're in the same band."

"It seems you still have some sense."

Yamada Ryo looked at Hongxia with some relief, then nodded and wiped the fake tears from the corners of his eyes.

"The child has grown up, tears in my eyes--"

"You bastard!" Hong Xia gritted her teeth.

Chapter 46: Silent companionship is better than a thousand sweet words

"Brother Shuo, don't go... stay with me... okay..." Goto Ichiri frowned, and her mumbling in her dream was accompanied by a slight whimper. She grabbed the hem of Mochizuki Shuo's clothes tightly, as if she wanted to keep him by her side forever.

Mochizuki Saku bent down and looked at the girl's sleeping face, his eyes full of tenderness. He stroked Goto Ichiri's head and whispered softly to comfort the uneasy girl.

The boy's clear and transparent voice was as gentle as a slow spring breeze, his tone was soft and slow, as if every word was carefully considered, making the listeners feel his sincerity, comfortable and at ease.

As if infected by it, although Goto Ichiri was still asleep, he gradually calmed down, no longer frightened, no longer confused, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and his face no longer had the dejected look just now.

The girl's hand that was pulling the corner of her clothes quietly withdrew its force. Seeing this scene, Mochizuki Shuo also breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his head and looked at Ichiri's beautiful and gentle sleeping face. Suddenly, an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. Then he leaned down and gently kissed Goto Ichiri on the forehead.

Then he moved slowly, tiptoeing to get up for fear of waking Goto Ichiri again.

Wang Yueshuo took out the spare key of Yili's boudoir from his trouser pocket, looked at it for a long time, and then gently placed it on the girl's desk. He then tore off a sticky note and stuck it next to the key, and wrote quickly with a pen.

With a crisp "click", Wang Yueshuo closed the pen cap and put it back in place.

Before leaving, he looked back at Goto Ichiri who was wrapped tightly in the warm quilt.

"Good night, Yili, I wish you a sweet dream."

As soon as the words fell, the bedroom door slowly closed.

After a while, it was pulled open again, revealing the embarrassed face of Mochizuki Shuo.

"Thank you, Xiao Shuo, for taking care of my daughter. You should also have a good rest and have dinner at my house." Goto's mother blinked her gentle eyes and looked at Mochizuki Saku. That look was full of trust, that serious look as if entrusting her to her daughter. Mochizuki Saku felt nervous and the pressure doubled just by thinking about it.

So...what to do now?

Wang Yueshuo looked around.

But before he could figure out what to do next, there was a knock on the door behind him. Mochizuki turned around and saw Goto Michiyo looking at him with a faint smile on her face, holding a spare pillow and bedding in her arms. "I think you will need this~" After saying that, she winked playfully.

What------?????

Wang Yueshuo now feels like a sheep walking into a tiger's den.

Could it be that all this... was deliberately directed by my aunt?

Mochizuki Saku took a deep breath, and his eyes showed even more respect for Goto's mother.

"Okay... okay." Unable to refuse the kind offer, Wang Yueshuo took it stiffly.

"Would you like me to help you lay the bed?" Goto's mother tilted her head, a teasing smirk flashing in her eyes. Her playful words made Mochizuki Saku feel a little embarrassed and shy. He turned his head away and dared not look at her directly, and quickly waved his hand to refuse.
