Not wanting to disturb Su Shi who seemed to be still sleeping soundly, none of them planned to turn on the lights. They just followed the faint light and gathered around her bed like a doctor visiting a hospitalized patient, and began to check her current physical condition.
"Mu, the towel has become warm. Please help me cool it down."
"The temperature is 37.9 degrees... The medicine is working well. If I rest until tonight, I should be almost well again!"
After a period of careful busyness, Shoko Toyokawa looked at the temperature displayed on the ear thermometer in her hand and finally smiled happily, feeling relieved.
Ruo Ye Mu nodded silently in agreement, looking relaxed, and did not forget to change a new cold towel for Su Shi.
——Although applying a cooling patch or an ice towel to the forehead will not have any effect on reducing fever, it can only make the patient feel cool and the overheated head can be more comfortable.
But this was exactly the effect she wanted.
As long as it could relax Su Shi's frown even a little, it would make sense for Ruo Ye Mu to do this - she was willing to prepare hundreds of ice towels until Su Shi completely recovered.
As for Ming Hai, after confirming that Su Shi's condition was still stable, he consciously looked away and did not disturb the girls from taking care of the patient.
He saw the gifts of comfort the two had brought on the bedside table.
Aroma balls with soothing scents, nutritious jellies and energy drinks, and... cold cucumber salad that has been cut into strips and packed in boxes.
"It's really creative." Ming Hai commented simply.
He even thought that Wakaba Mutsu would go to the Moon Forest specifically to pick the cucumbers he grew and give them to Su Shi.
I didn't expect that they would send me processed cold cucumber salad, which seemed to be made by her herself...
It seems that she has grown a lot after the training session.
With such emotion, Ming Hai subconsciously looked at Wakaba Mutsu.
But at this moment, the girl on the bed suddenly turned over, then slowly opened her hazy eyes and looked around weakly in the darkness.
“I… this is…”
"Ms. Sushi, you're awake." Toyokawa Shoko said softly, catching the ice towel that had fallen from her forehead when she turned over, and asked gently, "How are you? I hope we didn't disturb you?"
"No..." Just as he uttered the word in a hoarse voice, a cup of warm water was handed to his mouth in time.
"Sushi, drink some water."
After making sure that her soft palms were holding the cup of water, Ruo Yemu clumsily but seriously supported her back so that she could lean against the head of the bed and drink the water well.
Nagasaki Suyo also put aside the idea of asking questions for the time being, and slowly gulped down the warm water, moistening her throat. Her eyes moved quietly from side to side, as if she was trying to understand the current situation and her own situation.
Ming Hai inevitably met her eyes.
"..."
The two remained silent, Ming Hai's expression did not change, and she also looked away calmly as if she was deliberately ignoring his existence.
"Thank you, Mu-chan."
Returning the cup of water to Wakaba Mutsu, Nagasaki Suyo smiled gently, her voice more gentle and ethereal than ever before.
Although she still looked pale and weak, she exuded a more mature and stable temperament than before, which made the two people beside the bed stunned. It was a strange feeling that they saw her like this for the first time.
Ignoring their surprise, Nagasaki Suyo continued, "Shoko-chan too, I'm sorry to have you come all the way here to take care of me."
"...No, it's nothing."
Toyokawa Shoko quickly came to her senses, shook her head and smiled generously: "I just did what a friend should do. On the contrary, you, Su Shi classmate, have such a high fever, are you really not going to the hospital? What if there are any sequelae..."
"No, it's just a fever. There's no need to waste medical resources." With a gentle smile on her face, Nagasaki Suyo calmly changed the subject, "After a good night's sleep, I feel much better both physically and mentally. The fever should be gone soon, right?"
"Almost there, it's 37.9 degrees now." Toyokawa Shoko pressed the light switch to brighten the room again. "Do you want to get up and eat something? Or go to the bathroom? If you want to continue sleeping, it would be better to drink some sports drinks to replenish water and salt... I saw this on the Internet, so it's probably correct."
"Hmm~"
Rubbing her fingers against each other on the quilt, Nagasaki Suyo began to think, as if she was trying to turn her brain, which had just regained consciousness and was still a little heavy and painful, and unconsciously smiled bitterly: "Sorry, I don't feel like going to the bathroom now, and I'm not very hungry... But my body is wet and sticky with sweat, and I feel a little uncomfortable. Can you please help me wipe my body?"
Toyokawa Shoko patted her chest without hesitation and said, "No problem! Don't keep apologizing to us. It's too strange."
Nagasaki Suyo tilted her head slightly and smiled, "Okay, then I'll use thank you instead of an apology."
Immediately, he turned around and met Ruoye Mu's eyes.
"Mu-chan, is there something on my face that makes you stare at me?"
Ruoye Mu answered honestly: "I always feel that Su Shi has become a little different after the fever..."
Nagasaki Suyo was not angry, she just smiled and said: "Really? That may be because I don't have the energy to think too much now. Some people's personalities change drastically when they have a cold, and their emotions become extreme or childish."
"As long as this difference is not a bad thing, then you don't have to worry too much about it, right? Mu-chan."
"..."
Ruoye Mu seemed to agree without saying anything. She waited until Su Shi's attention shifted away from her before she secretly cast a look for help towards Ming Hai who was watching from the sidelines.
——Why are you looking at me?
Ming Hai spread his hands and said this with a helpless look on his face.
——Even if she really changed, it was definitely not because of the fever, but something similar to a broken heart...
Do you think I can ask her that in my position?
Although he couldn't understand his expression, Ruo Yemu could more or less understand that he was helpless, so he had to lower his head and worry alone.
She just wanted to make her friend happy, but her friend was unhappy all the time and had to pretend to be happy... For Ruoye Mu, who had poor communication skills, this was not a problem that could be solved in a few words.
"Mu? Stop being in a daze. Can you help me get a clean towel? I need to help Su Shi-san wipe her body."
"Ah."
After Wakaba Mutsu, who still had an expressionless face, left, Toyokawa Shoko then gave Ming Hai a kind smile.
"Dear Narumi-kun, are you still standing there, planning to record the process of us wiping down Suyo-san's body?"
"No, I just didn't find a good time to leave."
Ming Hai answered honestly and turned away very decisively.
In this atmosphere, he didn't dare to joke around like before, saying things like "Is it okay? Then I won't be polite."
It's not that he was afraid that his girlfriend would get jealous and angry, but he was afraid that Nagasaki Suyo, who had a gentle smile on her face and looked at him calmly, would say something strange in response.
This was also the main reason why Ming Hai did not take the initiative to care about her with the other two people.
——I have no idea what she is thinking, and I have no idea how she feels right now.
The only thing that can be confirmed...
Nagasaki Suyo, I guess you don’t want to see him right now, right?
"It's like this even with Xiangzi around. It will definitely be even more awkward when the two of us are alone... We can only let time dilute everything."
Ming Hai sighed helplessly, no longer looking at the pair of slightly trembling sea-blue eyes that seemed like they would cry at any time. He closed the door as if nothing had happened and walked downstairs.
After rejecting her confession, he was able to calmly prepare to continue being friends with her - but Nagasaki Suyo, who valued feelings, obviously couldn't do that.
Until just now, she was still trying hard to be patient and not let the emotions in her heart burst out.
She didn't let the determination she made and the tears she shed at that time vanish in an instant, and she begged him not to leave in a embarrassed and ugly manner.
...So during this period of time, Su Shi will probably keep her distance from him and won't come to his house every day to bother him like she did in the past, right?
Ming Hai could understand her feelings, and he also hoped that she could get over it as soon as possible and return to the free and easy time they had spent together in the past; it didn't matter if she couldn't get over it, because he would die sooner or later anyway, so maybe the regret and pain of separation could be alleviated a little.
But even though he understood the rules, Ming Hai also had things he wanted to complain about.
"What's the meaning of 'I wish you happiness'..."
If you can't do it, don't force yourself to say it.
Scratching his hair, as if to clear out all the complicated thoughts in his mind, Minghai exhaled heavily and stepped hard on the stairs to go downstairs.
...Sure enough, no matter when.
What he is worst at is dealing with these girls who say one thing and mean another.
-
Half an hour later.
After wiping the body of the sick girl, Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu walked out of Su Shi's room.
"It's not the first time I've seen it, but the destructive power of Suyo-san's... is truly astonishing."
With a dazed look on his face, Xiangzi seemed to be recalling something. He hugged his chest with his arms and gently lifted it up, trying to feel the heaviness of his fruitful harvest.
However, when I looked down, I saw that my chest, which didn't even have any cleavage when I squeezed it, could only hold up air and an empty heart. Even if I took off all my clothes, I probably wouldn't be able to see those big white buns that were pressed so tightly and overflowed from my arms, right?
Xiangzi's eyes suddenly flashed with grief and anger, and he subconsciously clenched his fists. He decided to go back and drink more papaya milk to replenish his body.
It's not only for Ming Haijun's XP, but also for the future nutrition of the child!
If she hadn't had a more "slender" childhood playmate by her side for comparison, she might have really lost confidence in her perfect figure based on the feeling brought by this body scrubbing...
We are the same age, and our weight, waist circumference and height are not much different. I probably eat better, so how come his development is so advanced?
In response, Nagasaki Suyo simply answered innocently:
"Eat more vegetables, get more sleep, and before you know it you're like this."
Fortunately, Ming Hai is not too lustful, and his noble character is even more convincing; otherwise, with such a love rival, Toyokawa Shoko really doesn't know how to win. Even if she wins, she will be afraid that he will not be able to control the temptation and cheat on girls with good figures, right?
For example, at the beginning, when Ming Hai and the sick Su Shi were alone, did the two of them do something private that they couldn't tell me, which made the atmosphere between them so weird...
If it were me before the training camp, I would probably be suspicious like this, right?
While thinking about these messy things, Shoko Toyokawa quickly walked down the stairs and returned to the living room on the first floor.
Ming Hai was sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, his eyes lazily half-closed. He looked like he would pull up a blanket made of sunshine at any time and lie down to take a nice nap.
"Narumi-kun, we're done here."
Walking up to him, Toyokawa Shoko put away the electronic devices on the desk and got straight to the point: "Next, I'm going to move my work address to Suyo-san's room. Narumi-kun, should that be okay with you?"
"No, but she doesn't plan to rest?" Although he asked doubtfully, Ming Hai did not slow down. He put away his phone and helped her organize the various equipment needed for composing the music. "A group of us are crowded in her room to discuss the music. It will be noisy even with headphones, right?"
"Ms. Sushi said she doesn't want to sleep now, and she doesn't want to be excluded by us, so she just asked us to work in her room. Maybe the sense of security that everyone is here will help her rest better."
Toyokawa Shoko sighed and smiled helplessly: "You know, she is actually a person who is very afraid of loneliness."
"Indeed... Well, as long as she doesn't mind."
Hiding his strange mood perfectly, Ming Hai nodded nonchalantly, and soon returned to the room that was slightly spacious for a girl with Xiangzi and Wakaba Mutsu, carrying large and small bags.
Nagasaki Suyo was still leaning against the bed, her eyes deliberately focused on everyone except him, and she smiled and said, "Thank you for being so accommodating to me."
"It's more convenient to take care of you this way, it's not really an accommodation." Toyokawa Shoko shook her head and said apologetically, "In fact, I should have discussed the arrangement with everyone..."
"Everyone has selfish motives, it's okay." Nagasaki Suyo knew what she wanted to say and quickly interrupted her hesitant voice, "What's important is not the arrangement, but the feeling of doing something with your boyfriend, right? Although I don't know why you dragged Mu-chan into this, but me, Deng-chan, Li Xi-chan and the others, will not say anything to you because of such a small matter."
"If I really want to say it, I have to truly apologize to you... I'm sorry that I was so willful that day that not only ruined my own health, but also ruined your first date after you started dating."
"Mr. Sushi..."
Looking at her calm and frank eyes, Toyokawa Shoko stood there in a bit of surprise, and subconsciously glanced at Ming Hai who seemed to be indifferent. In her heart, she vaguely thought of Su Shi who was sleeping soundly, with tears in the corners of her eyes and a frown on her pitiful expression.
——Could it be that before they came to visit, something private and unspeakable really happened between the two of them? !
Volume 148: Chapter Chapter The Disease is Love
The air in the room was like a deep ocean that divided the world into two layers.
Beneath the calmness of the waveless sea, there swims a complex web of thoughts.
Everyone has something hidden in their heart, and no one intends to say it out loud. They just speculate, observe, and go with the flow as if nothing has happened.
Time has been given room to breathe and continues to move forward safely.
The three of them sat on the floor, surrounding the small coffee table and continued discussing the song.
Nagasaki Suyo was still leaning against the head of the bed, occasionally looking at them quietly and absent-mindedly, and occasionally looking away and flipping through the photos saved on her mobile phone one by one, with a look of nostalgia and sadness in her eyes from time to time.
Not long after, she, who was still running a low fever, closed her eyes tiredly and lay back in bed, letting her hot and weak body and broken heart rest.
"Perhaps, this is what it means to be heartbroken..."
After a good night's sleep, Nagasaki Suyo calmed down and actually accepted the reality.
Regardless of whether there will be a turnaround in the future, at least for now, Ming Hai has no place for her in his heart.
The unreachable love finally, under her various initiatives, reached the ending that had not changed from the very beginning.
