Can Lixi look at me alone?

She rejected them all with various reasons…

Lixi couldn't possibly share her friend's heartfelt gift, could she? Impossible.

Xiangzi reached out and started typing on the screen.

"I see, I'm so sorry..."

Li Xi's sharing wasn't the worst part; the worst part was that he took it for granted and started ordering food with everyone.

Xiangzi swallowed.

She could imagine how angry Lixi's friends would be after finding out, to the point that Lixi would have to come and explain to them.

Lixi responded to her apology.

"Um... I was wrong too. I should have made things clear last night..."

No, it was I who made the mistake, Toyokawa Shoko.

"I can't let this go unpunished; I have to apologize to her in person at the very least."

Li Xi replied.

“She…is not in a very healthy lifestyle, and her family is also experiencing some issues. I’d like to get her to join Crychic, which might help her.”

Fearing that Xiangzi would find her troublesome, Lixi explained Jieyue's situation very tactfully and waited for Xiangzi's reply.

"I need to ask for everyone's opinion first..."

Hmm, that should be about right...

Yuzuki handed her one of her own pajamas that she had never worn before.

"Lixi, give it a try... it should be fine."

……

So that's about it...

Xiangzi pulled Su Shi aside to explain, while Mu, who was watering the cucumbers nearby, glanced at her.

"I really should have listened to Xiaomu sooner..."

Su Shi patted her on the shoulder.

"It's okay. Even though you made a mistake... as long as you make it up to me, it should be fine, right? Didn't Xiao Xiang say..."

"Does that student want to join us? How about we meet her tonight?"

As long as everyone is happy!

As long as everyone is happy... that's all that matters...

Xiangzi nodded.

"Okay, then that's settled. I'll pick up Xiaodeng after school."

I wonder how Lixi's friend is doing. I really need to apologize to him properly today.

Lixi reached out and patted Jieyue's head.

"Do you need me to get you a hot water bottle or something?"

Even though I knew that Yuzuki's body temperature was low, it was still a bit strange that she was shivering in the blankets.

"No...it's nothing."

Well, I shouldn't thank that non-existent Mr. Virus.

Now they've come looking for us.

My head was getting more and more painful, and my body was becoming increasingly weak.

It seems that after drinking coffee and staying up all night for several nights in a row, my already low resistance was completely overwhelmed, and I also had the air conditioning on all night.

Mr. Virus can come anytime... why does he have to come now of all times?

She was prepared to watch Lixi's adorable sleeping face for hours on end in bed, but her increasingly heavy eyelids reminded her that it was time to rest.

Now... this wonderful opportunity to spend time with Riki-chan, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be so close to her, a chance to feel the meaning of her own life...

Is it going to be wasted like this?

"Yuzuki...? Are you alright?"

Lixi reached out and touched her sweaty forehead.

"..."

This guy definitely needs a guardian.

"I'm sorry... Lixi... I've caused you trouble..."

Has the illness recurred at this time?

The sight of the pink-haired girl sobbing and clutching her blanket as she cried to Lixi sent a chill down her spine as she prepared to go find medicine.

"It's alright, Jieyue, get some rest first. I'll go get you some fever reducer."

Lixi, trying to soften her tone, watched as she suddenly turned her back and answered in a slightly hoarse, sobbing voice.

"Sorry, here we go again. Lixi, please don't look at me..."

That was close... almost, really close... Li Xi-chan was about to see everything.

My feelings... shouldn't have been discovered by Riki-chan so early.

Lixi-chan isn't completely dependent on her yet, and it's very likely that... Lixi-chan will be scared away by her in the future.

"Okay, you... keep the tissues by the bedside. I'll go buy you some medicine."

In this situation, searching through Yuzuki's drawers is obviously out of the question; buying some medicine is a more reliable option. After all, Yuzuki should be able to take care of herself in a short time…

The door was opened.

Chika Yuzuki overheard Mr. Security Door saying something to her.

"Lixi left. She said she would come back after buying the medicine."

She believed in Riki-chan. Even though Riki-chan had shared her feelings with her, it didn't matter. As long as everything she did could help Riki-chan... even if it was just a little bit.

There was still some warmth left from Riki in the blanket, which made Kizuki unable to resist wrapping herself in the blanket tighter.

If... I just stay like this, still needing to be taken care of... will Riki-chan, like in those manga, live with me and take care of me?

No... You can't deceive other people's feelings like this.

She covered her mouth and coughed a few times.

Wait a minute... does Lixi-chan have a key to her house?

Lixi answered, standing in front of the security door.

"No."

As she struggled to open the door for her, Yuzuki managed to fall into her arms. After a brief moment of panic, Riki regained her composure, put one hand on Yuzuki's waist, pulled her into her embrace, and helped Yuzuki back to the bedroom.

It was just taking care of the sick Yuzuki...

She watched as the pink-haired girl, her face flushed and sickly, stuck out her tongue and licked the pills from her palm. The warm, wet touch made her gently rub her palm where Yuzuki couldn't see.

"Can you sleep with me for a while?"

The gentle smile on the girl's pale face seemed particularly fragile and delicate at this moment. Lixi, who had silently left the bedroom to change into her pajamas and then returned, touched her smooth, long hair.

"Go to sleep quickly, or you won't get better."

She said she was going to rest with Yuzuki... but hearing the even breathing beside her, Riki still opened her tightly closed eyes.

I need some time to process what has happened during this period.

First, he directly shared Yuzuki's feelings with others, and then he tricked Yuzuki into making bento boxes for her companions.

This guy... stayed up all night making those things for me with coffee, and now that he's sick, he didn't even scold me once... or blame me at all.

Why are you so good to me?

She reached out and touched the sleeping girl's forehead.

It's still very hot; it seems it will take some time for the fever to subside.

It's all my fault...

I am not worth your feelings.

Love you guys!

Give me some votes

pytime ~ "Toyokawa Shoko Doesn't Want to Become a Witch"

(A veteran author with multiple completed books; guaranteed to update regularly)

Puella Magi Madoka Magica + MyGO = ?

Xiangzi almost fell into despair and became a witch, if someone hadn't saved her in her despair...

"Why did Toyokawa Shoko preserve her history of becoming a witch? Of course, it's to evoke everyone's sympathy. What you all don't know is that this experience has long been romanticized. She wasn't some magical girl; she was a complete witch..."

"Rewrite."

"Why?!" Meow Dream wailed, "Isn't it true that these days, if a story has to be really outrageous, people will read it?!"

Shoko Toyokawa, a "magical girl" who deceived the whole world despite being a witch, tossed aside the script outline that Meow Dream had handed her, crossed her arms, and looked at her teammates.

"You can't just blurt out the truth."

Volume 1 Crychic! Chapter 18: Thanks to my teammates whom I've never met!

Riki, who was applying a damp towel to Yuzuki's face, sat on the bed and looked around Yuzuki's room.

It was very clean, but the curtains were drawn tightly, blocking out all light. The entire room was in a rather dark environment…

Just as she was about to get out of bed to pour some water for Yuzuki, the pink-haired girl hugged her arm tightly. The soft touch and Yuzuki's body temperature made Riki tremble.

"..."

She doesn't seem to be awake yet, but if I force her to break free, I'll probably wake her up.

Slowly relaxing her tense body, Lixi turned to the side, just like her older sister used to take care of her when she was sick, and gently stroked the back of Jieyue's head with her other hand.

"Well…"

The pink-haired girl's eyelashes trembled slightly as she rubbed her cheek against Lixi's tightly embracing arm.

"Lixi...come and rest too..."

Lixi patted her head.

"Then Yuzuki should go to sleep too."

The black-haired girl, who found that she had to hold Yuzuki in this position to fall asleep, pondered for a moment.

The one who needs rest right now is Yuzuki; if she can't sleep, neither can she...

She pictured Yuzuki staying up all night drinking coffee and making her a bento box.

Lixi wrapped his arm around the slender waist of the girl beside him, trying to fall asleep as quickly as possible in the most comfortable position.

It's always easier to fall asleep while holding something that feels good, and the two girls sleeping in each other's arms prove this point.

……

"Anyone else want to join?"

The lamp asked Xiangzi in a low voice.

No, not yet

"It means I'll definitely join... it's just Lixi's request. Today I'll take everyone to meet that girl."

As long as she's easy to get along with and doesn't intentionally hurt others, then Xiangzi will pass this test.
