The pretty young girl by the bedside was a little shy. She whispered "hello" and that was it.

Li Zhu on the bed was still the same, sleeping peacefully.

Because Riki hadn't woken up, Ms. Arisaka observed the three of them for a while and found that they all seemed quite normal, so she came to a conclusion in her mind.

[Nothing exciting seemed to have happened between them, am I just imagining things? They even locked the infirmary door from the inside and were dawdling, not letting me in...]

So there must be something fishy going on here!

Could it be that they're conspiring to deceive me? Could they be taking advantage of this male classmate's unconsciousness to try and manipulate his body?

Haruno Arisaka found it increasingly terrifying that female classmates these days would do such things, things she could only think about when she was bored.

"The teacher is going to check on Li Zhu's health now, so please move aside for a moment, you two," she said with a smile. Kyoko and Yuko obediently walked over to Kotone's side.

Haruno Arisaka used the excuse of checking Riki's body, but actually wanted to see if Riki under the covers had been played with beyond recognition.

She lifted the blanket, and Li Zhu's clothes and pants were still there, without any obvious wrinkles or tears, and there seemed to be no signs of being violated.

Seeing that Li Zhu's body showed no signs of being violated, she felt a little disappointed in them for some reason.

She then thought, "It's also possible that the three of them have already disposed of the bodies... no, they've already covered their tracks, so what I'm seeing is just an illusion."

Whether it's true or false, you'll know once you try.

She decided to try and find a breakthrough by looking at the quietest girl by the bedside.

"Ahem, excuse me, what's your relationship with Li Zhu?"

After the examination, her fingertips subtly brushed against Riki's abs, then she turned around and asked Yuko.

"I'm Zhu's girlfriend!" Yuko seemed to really enjoy the question, and she answered excitedly.

As she spoke, she slightly raised her head to look at Kotone and Kyoko beside her, as if to show off that her identity was much more reliable than theirs.

She is the one most qualified to visit the set.

"Girlfriend, huh? So this Riyu already has a girlfriend. What a pity for Hina..." Arisaka-sensei muttered to herself, glancing at Yuko.

As her gaze swept over Yuko's chest, she thought to herself, "It seems Hina still has a chance."

No, what if Rikichi is into that kind of thing? Then Hinata might not have a chance.

As Hina Arisu's friend, Haruno Arisaka naturally cares about her friend's happiness.

As for why she noticed Riyu, it was because Kohina had rushed over to her with a hurried expression, saying that one of her students had fainted and asking her to check on what had happened.

Not only because of her friend's request, but also because she was a school doctor, she couldn't refuse such a request.

To be honest, this was the first time she had ever seen such an expression on Kohina's face.

When she arrived at the infirmary, she finally understood why Kohina was so concerned. This classmate named Riyu had a face that would make any woman instantly like her, not to mention her innate charm.

To be precise, it was alluring; even she herself felt a longing for Li Zhu.

I remember Kohina saying she wanted to marry a man younger than her in the future. Could this be it? That sounds good, it looks pretty good.

……

Chapter Seventy: Awakening

I remember telling Hinata when we were little that if she got married, I would marry her and we would share a husband.

After thinking about it, Haruno decided against it; childhood words shouldn't be taken seriously.

It's definitely not because Kohina's personality is somewhat scary.

If she were to actually bring up such a thing in front of her, she would probably be frozen to death by those eyes that are as cold as an iceberg standing in the Arctic.

"The teacher keeps staring at me. Is there something on my face?" Yuko asked, puzzled. Why was the teacher staring at her and then just staring blankly without saying a word?

Moreover, her intuition told her that this Ms. Arisaka had just been thinking something very rude.

"No, no, I was just a little surprised to see such a cute child," Ms. Arisaka said with a smile. From her appearance, she seemed like an intelligent and gentle older sister.

"What about me? Teacher, am I not cute?"

Upon hearing this, Kyoko recalled her earlier conversation with Riyu and a competitive thought began to stir within her.

"Kyoko is very cute, and she has a great figure, especially her chest... cough cough, anyway, Kyoko is great."

Thankfully, she managed to stop herself. Before she knew it, she almost veered off-topic. Today was another day of being careful with her words, Yang Nai-chan.

Haruno Arisaka kept telling herself that she had to be a proper teacher now, how could she say those things in front of her students? She was a respectable person!

"Thank you, teacher." Kyoko's face immediately lit up with a smile. She looked at Yuko, puffed out her chest, and gave a soft hum.

Qin Yin, who hadn't done anything, was inexplicably attacked by the other two and seriously injured.

Because she was neither Riki's girlfriend nor did she have Kyoko's enviable figure.

Moreover, what she didn't know was that Kyoko got Riki's handprint, Yuko got Riki's kiss, and even the newly arrived teacher, Arisaka, used the excuse of checking her body to give Riki a hard grope.

So, she was the only one who didn't get any benefits from Li Zhu today...

Indeed, hesitation leads to defeat.

"Huh, there are so many people here?"

The door to the infirmary was open, and a head poked its way in.

Everyone looked over at the sound and saw that it was Kaoru Kazama, Riri's deskmate.

Yuko's eyes narrowed. This woman, whom she once considered her greatest threat, was now someone she could not underestimate.

I always felt that if I wasn't careful, Li Zhu would be deceived by this seemingly quiet woman.

"You're here to see him too?"

Ms. Arisaka did not recognize this pretty girl who looked quiet and refined. She pointed to the unconscious Riki on the bed and said...

"Hello, I'm Kaoru Kazama, Riku's deskmate. I heard he was sick, so I came to visit him. You must be Mr. Arisaka."

Kaoru Kazama gave a slight bow and greeted everyone. No matter what, she was always so poised and polite.

"Oh, it's Kaoru-san. Hello! My name is Arisaka Haruno. You can call me Arisaka-sensei or Haruno-sensei, it's up to you." Arisaka-sensei waved to her, gesturing for her to come over and talk.

Xun nodded and slowly walked over. A graceful young girl stood beside the group.

Upon closer inspection, Arisaka Haruno couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Another beautiful girl. What's wrong with Riki? He's got enough girls to play mahjong with."

However, this child is very polite and looks well-behaved and adorable. She seems as quiet and reserved as Yuko, which I like very much.

Now, she was starting to waver, because the girls here were all wonderful, each with their own unique qualities, and they were just as good as her friends.

Ah, does this mean Hina really has no chance...?

No, I need to gather intelligence.

Haruno Arisaka started a conversation about Riki, wanting to hear their opinions on Riki.

Yuko's eyes shone with a fascination as she spoke, saying that Riyu was the light she wanted to possess, the light she wanted to hold in her hands, and the person she least wanted to be separated from.

As for why Li Zhu was a light to her, she didn't tell them. She just stared blankly at the person on the bed, her mind filled with those sweet memories.

Kyoko said that Riki was her good friend, and that he was a very special and kind person.

Qin Yin said that Li Zhu was a big bad guy who only knew how to annoy her and was not good at all. He was the person she hated the most.

Then she was stared at by the other people as if she were some rare animal.

"Really, I hate him the most." With so many people watching, Qin Yin's face slowly flushed red.

When Ms. Arisaka asked Kaoru about it, she found her sitting on the edge of the bed looking at Riku, seemingly lost in thought.

"Kaoru-kun?"

"Teacher, when will Li Zhu wake up? Didn't you say he was fine?" Xun suddenly asked.

She just ran into Hina-sensei, who said that Riki was fine, but had fainted due to extreme weakness.

If nothing's wrong, why hasn't he woken up yet?

Could something serious have happened?

Kaoru Kazama felt something was off the more she thought about it, which is why she asked that question.

"Well, the teacher isn't quite sure either. Logically speaking, he should be awake by now, but when I look at him, he's still not fully conscious." Ms. Arisaka came over, checked his eyes, observed him for a while, and asked in confusion.

"If he doesn't wake up soon, we'll have to take him to the hospital for a checkup." Her expression was somewhat grave.

Apart from Yuko, everyone else looked tense when they heard that there might be more to Riku's coma than met the eye.

Yuko knew it was probably because of that banned drug. Riki should have woken up by now, but she had just kissed Riki again.

She guessed that they had exchanged some bodily fluids, which amplified the effects of the drug, so the coma would probably last longer.

However, Riri had ended up in this state because she had drunk the water that she had prepared. Yuko wondered if others would discover anything amiss.

A while later.

The sun had already set.

Everything outside seemed to be shrouded in a thin, dark red curtain. The sunset on the horizon resembled a ball of fire, while pedestrians strolled slowly through the campus. The twilight scene was pleasant and enchanting.

"Well."

Li Zhu only just slowly woke up.

"You're finally awake!"

As soon as I opened my eyes, five stunningly beautiful and charming faces were close to me, and I could hear their surprised words in my ear.

Faced with this situation, Li Zhu instantly sobered up.

Holy crap!

Li Zhu's body trembled violently instinctively, after all, the huge shadow of countless women rushing towards her during the obstacle course race had not yet dissipated.

However, when he saw that apart from the pretty older woman, all the people were people he knew, he realized that this was not the scene that had given him psychological trauma.

"What are you doing?" Li Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, sat up, and asked.

"Congratulations! You're finally awake."

Yuko pounced on him, burying her head in Riyu's chest. Her body was trembling slightly, probably because she was too excited that her boyfriend had woken up.

Yuko's reaction seemed like the normal reaction of a girlfriend seeing her boyfriend wake up.

Without thinking much, Li Zhu gently stroked Yuko's hair and slowly comforted her. Gradually, Yuko's body stopped trembling.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Yuko gave a heavy hum, feeling a pang of guilt towards Riyu.

[I'm sorry, although my worry was feigned, my desire to rush into your arms was real.]

"Riki, do you remember when you fainted on the stage at the sports festival?" Kaoru reminded her from the side.

Chapter 71 You're trying to argue with me?!

"I... fainted on stage..."

Li Zhu and Xun met with curious glances and slowly recalled what had happened.

"Ah, I remember now, I was very thirsty... and then I... I guess it was too hot, uh, maybe I had heatstroke."

He suddenly realized something and shouted, then his voice gradually faded, his eyes darting around as he gently stroked Yuko's soft hair.

"Haha, I made everyone worry. Standing on the stage, I felt so hot and was sweating profusely, so I was very thirsty and accidentally got heatstroke, and then I fainted."

Then he laughed heartily, scratched the back of his head, and gave a "I'm fine" look, but there was a hint of bitterness hidden in that smile.

Li Zhu took all the blame upon himself, and didn't mention a word about the problematic bottle of water his girlfriend had given him.

As her boyfriend, isn't it only natural for him to defend his girlfriend in public? Even if she might be deceiving him, he is still willing to believe Yuko.

Sigh, Li Zhu is a good person in every way, except that she likes to pretend to be ignorant even when she knows the truth.

“That’s not right. If it’s heatstroke, how come I didn’t notice?” Ms. Arisaka suddenly retorted.

"You little brat, are you lying?"

Li Zhu sensed that the unfamiliar blonde woman's eyes were sharp, with a scrutinizing look in them, and her face had an expression that said, "I don't believe what you're saying."

Actually, it's because Ms. Arisaka is slightly nearsighted, and coupled with her mature and sophisticated aura, she always gives off a sharp feeling when she stares at people.

"How could that be? What good would it do me to lie to the doctor and hide my illness? I desperately want you to cure me!"
