Can Lixi look at me alone?

She began to seriously consider the appearance of Yuzuki and the lantern.

They both evoke a protective instinct. One is shorter, one is taller… one is very gentle, the other she doesn't know…

"I still think a certain pink-haired guy is better looking."

With a smile, Jieyue took her hand.

"Little Lixi is really something..."

My head is starting to hurt again... Looks like I'm going to get a fever again.

But I also have to teach Riki-chan how to cook tonight…

Seeing the girl standing in front of her house without taking out her keys, Li Xi sighed helplessly and then slipped his fingers into her pocket.

I opened the door for her and then put it back.

"Wake up, we've arrived at our station."

It seems I shouldn't have taken her; she should rest properly when she's sick.

The girl, waking from her daze, took off her two layers of clothing and asked Lixi to heat up the pot for her first, then take the ingredients out of Mr. Refrigerator and do some simple processing of the ingredients.

She put Riki's coat in the washing machine, forcing Riki to stay here tonight—if she didn't want to catch a cold.

Lixi-chan won't blame herself for being sick.

My head is getting more and more painful.

My vision is gradually becoming blurry.

After tying on a spare apron, Yuzuki returned to Riki's side.

"It's all chopped, and the cooking oil too...@$%..."

What are you saying...?

Yuzuki shook her head to clear her vision.

"Lixi-chan is great! Now we'll add salt..."

Look

Lixi blinked blankly as she watched her pour pepper into the pot.

Perhaps it's some kind of special cooking method...? Why is the dishcloth also used?

"Yuzuki? Are you... are you alright?"

After throwing the dishcloth into the trash can, Lixi turned off the gas stove and reached out to touch the forehead of the somewhat dazed girl.

"She has a fever again...!"

Love you guys

Volume 1 Crychic! : Chapter 22 The Twenty-Two Chapters: Yuzuki is More Important

Riki, who brought Yuzuki back to her room, discovered a problem... she couldn't let Yuzuki sleep in these clothes.

Sleeping like this is very uncomfortable.

But helping Yuzuki change her clothes...

She sighed. It was because she had gone to see Xiangzi and the others during her month of marriage that she hadn't rested properly and that's why she had a fever.

Therefore, she has to take responsibility.

"Feel sorry."

She opened Yuzuki's wardrobe...

Wow, Yuzuki has such a big body pillow... But why is it in the closet? Is she worried that I won't have enough space to lie down?

This guy is really...

The girl's soft, pale skin came into view, but Lixi did not feel shy or have any other thoughts.

She believes that if their roles were reversed, and she were the one lying in bed, Yuzuki would also care about her immediately and want to make her a little more comfortable... instead of other messy things.

After putting her back on the pillow, Lixi prepared to make something to eat for tomorrow's lunchbox.

And use this as an excuse to completely shut up the mouth of Yuzuki who said she would cook for herself and then go to the kitchen to make a lot of food.

She had no doubt that the guy in bed, whose mind was only on other people, would do such a thing, and then cause her to have a fever for another day.

Gently tap the egg on the edge of the pan, then crack it into the pan to make a simple fried egg. Afterward, toss it with some raw vegetables to make a vegetable salad…

A bit shabby.

Let's make some miso soup too.

The wide variety of ingredients in the refrigerator made her raise an eyebrow.

Unfortunately, she couldn't make dishes like Yuzuki's at all; using these would just be a waste of ingredients...

"Make more so that Yuzuki can eat more... she's too thin."

Lixi's health, which was almost completely at odds with her physical condition, led her to cook a second dish... but she had already cooked two...

"Why don't we do the others' too? Just to see how Yuzuki usually feels..."

If Xiangzi dares to say it's not good, let her make it herself. Then I'll bring Jieyue along to laugh at her.

Well, let's do it.

But would Yuzuki laugh at others?

The girl, who was asleep, could not answer her question.

The angel appeared before Yuzuki once again.

"So, after you gave Lixi your wholehearted love, did she return the same feelings to you?"

Did you return it to me?

"Not yet... but Riki-chan and I are getting closer and closer! Soon, maybe in just a few years... we can get married together, and... be together forever..."

Yuzuki had no wishes, no extravagant desires. He only hoped to be with the girl he loved... for a lifetime.

That's enough.

"Huh...? Why do you think Riki-chan would agree to your request?"

But the angel began to refute her wish.

"Because, because if Lixi gives me her wholehearted love, we will definitely be together......"

An angel wrapped its arms around her neck, reminding her of Lixi's attitude towards her.

"Actually, Yuzuki herself knows very well, right? Tachibana-chan doesn't have any special feelings for Yuzuki, does she? Otherwise, why would she share the bento Yuzuki made with other people?"

Yuzuki tries to find reasons for Riki's behavior.

"I only did that because I wanted to get along with other people, it doesn't mean that Riki-chan doesn't care about me..."

The angel leaned close to her ear, letting his breath redden her earlobe.

"That's right, Riki-chan does care about you, but... it's the same as caring about other people. You're not a special person to her."

Seeing that the girl didn't react, the angel continued to whisper in her ear.

"If you're not happy about it, just go ask for a hug. If Riki-chan cares about you..."

Yuzuki interrupted the angel's shallow understanding of Riki.

"I won't allow you to talk about Riki-chan like that! She's so gentle, beautiful, considerate, and kind! How could she be the kind of shallow person who falls for someone just because of something?"

The angel disappeared.

Yuzuki also opened her eyes.

After touching the soft fabric, she realized who had changed her clothes.

The darkness outside the window reminded her that this was no longer a time when she could leave home at will.

The constant ringing of her phone annoyed her, so she turned on Do Not Disturb, leaving Xiangzi, who had learned from Lixi that she had a fever again, staring blankly at a pile of unread messages.

Where is Riki-chan?

I still feel very unwell. There are no fever reducers on the bedside table, which means that Lixi-chan hasn't left yet.

Feeling a little more at ease, Jieyue found the busy figure in the kitchen, and then... silently wrapped her arms around her slender waist from behind.

Lixi, who was holding a spatula, was startled and quickly stopped the boiler.

"Yuzuki, that's dangerous! Next time..."

Lixi-chan is yelling at me...

"I'm sorry, Li Xi."

The black-haired girl, who was pondering whether adding salt or sugar would improve the flavor, quickly tried to salvage the situation after realizing her tone was off.

"I'm sorry, Yuzuki, I... I just couldn't control my temper."

It's okay, because it's Riki-chan. I'll never be angry... never.

"Alright, what is Xiaolixi doing? Let me try it..."

She grabbed a pair of chopsticks from the side, stuck them into the pot, and scooped out a piece from the broth…

What is this?

Her beautiful blue eyes blinked as she tried to make out the crystal.

"It's rock sugar."

Lixi explained somewhat embarrassedly.

"I wanted to make you some rock sugar stewed pears, but your rock sugar seems a bit..."

This was made by Lixi-chan just for me! It's all mine!

All you could hear was Yuzuki affectionately nuzzling Ritsuki's chin, thanking her in a slightly coquettish voice, and then spooning out a little soup...

After blowing on it a few times, put it in your mouth and savor your lover's sentiments.

sweet.

It's very sweet, so sweet it's almost cloying.

Yuzuki struggled to control her twitching facial muscles, trying to appear less pained, before pouring two large spoonfuls of drinking water from one side.

"Lixi-chan is really good, but... it's just a little bit... too thick. Adding a little water will make it much better..."

Lixi nodded gently and took the spoon from her hand.

"Then tell them tomorrow, how about this is something Yuzuki made?"

I'll support any request from Riki-chan.

"Okay..."

Lixi-chan's arms... so soft...

Li Xi, who had been holding Jie Yue and leading her back to the bedroom, returned to the kitchen. She felt a strange anticipation for tomorrow when Xiang Zi would be clamoring for the soup Jie Yue had made, and she would finally drink it.

What kind of expression would they have?

This also allows Yuzuki to get some rest, and hopefully, Touka can sing again soon...

Is Yuzuki as important to her as everyone else?

Lixi felt the answer was no, because Jieyue was more important than the band.

"Yes, Yuzuki is more important."

She nodded, as if answering herself.
