Chapter 172

After drinking the coffee, he rubbed his temples.

Truly nervous, truly tired, and hungry.

"Fujiwara Chika must have been more tired then... my situation was more serious, a pile of test reports, and she ran up and down... but she didn't need my material thanks..."

Kitakami Yoru drank the coffee in one gulp and rested his hands behind his head.

Afternoon.

"37.8 degrees."

"Low fever..."

Kitakami Yoru checked the thermometer and said to Sakurajima Mai beside him.

During the IV, she fell asleep, and Kitakami Yoru hadn't woken her up.

"How long did I sleep?"

Sakurajima Mai just got up, her body felt much lighter, but her head was still a bit dizzy.

"Four hours, rest well."

Kitakami Yoru put away the thermometer and stood up.

"No... don't go..."

Sakurajima Mai was instinctively startled, stood up, grabbed Kitakami Yoru's hem, and shouted.

"Ah?"

Kitakami Yoru was stunned for a moment.

"No... sorry... I..."

Sakurajima Mai sullenly withdrew her hand; she didn't know why she reacted like that.

"I'm going to the restroom, I'll be right back, don't be afraid."

Kitakami Yoru walked up, gently pressed Sakurajima Mai's shoulder, pressed her back onto the chair, and said gently.

After saying that, Kitakami Yoru, who couldn't hold it anymore, went and came back quickly, leaving Sakurajima Mai alone.

"I just!"

Sakurajima Mai's blush, which had finally faded, surfaced again.

Oh my god!

What was wrong with her just now?

She shouldn't be that excited, right?

And...

He was also too good-looking.

When Kitakami Yoru gently pressed her down, Sakurajima Mai had been staring at his face.

Until now, she finally woke up.

In less than a minute, Kitakami Yoru returned.

"Where is your home? I'll take you back."

Kitakami Yoru said.

"Sorry to trouble you... my home is near Shuchiin Takanawa Gateway Station; I'm also a student at Shuchiin."

Sakurajima Mai nodded gently and stood up.

"Let's talk slowly outside; I seem to have noticed the nurse looking at me strangely."

Kitakami Yoru twisted his mouth.

"Hehe..."

Sakurajima Mai laughed lightly.

Sakurajima Mai, who had almost broken the fever and was still in a low-fever state, had no problem walking.

There was medicine at home.

She followed Kitakami Yoru and left the hospital hall.

In a quiet corner, they sat down to talk.

"Tell me about your situation?"

Kitakami Yoru asked curiously.

"It was half a year ago, I discovered that I could be ignored..."

"Later... met you at the station..."

"And it became like this."

Sakurajima Mai stared at Kitakami Yoru slowly, as if she wanted to see something.

After she finished filming and met Kitakami Yoru at the station, the passersby she came into contact with completely couldn't see her.

"I see... how strange..."

Kitakami Yoru didn't intend to share the secret of the gold treasure chest.

"I even wanted to commit suicide at the time..."

Sakurajima Mai secretly glanced at Kitakami Yoru, smelled the sour sweat on her body, drank some water, and moved away silently.

"Uh..."

"That..."

Sakurajima Mai stammered and continued.

"If you have something to say, say it."

Kitakami Yoru had asked for leave, so he wasn't in a hurry to go to Shuchiin.

"Can you... take care of me for a few... days?"

Sakurajima Mai knew she couldn't take care of herself in her current state.

Her only hope and reliance was Kitakami Yoru.

"Don't worry, I still have money, I still have money..."

Seeming afraid of being rejected, Sakurajima Mai added hurriedly.

Sakurajima Mai, a beautiful celebrity who had debuted since childhood, won countless awards, and was popular in the entertainment industry.

Would she also worry about being rejected by a person of the opposite sex one day?

"If I take care of you... can you do something for me?"

Kitakami Yoru looked at Sakurajima Mai and asked back tentatively, his expression serious.

"Do... do you want to... me?"

"No, no, no... you you you you... do...?"

Sakurajima Mai, however, misunderstood because Kitakami Yoru's expression was too serious!

"No, no..."

"It's something else; I won't hurt you; I'm not that bad."

Kitakami Yoru waved his hands repeatedly, secretly wondering if what he said was so ambiguous.

"Then why did you say that? I thought... you..."

Sakurajima Mai hugged her knees and buried her head.

"Anyway, just rest well; I'm not in a hurry, let's see how it goes."

Kitakami Yoru replied with a bitter smile.

"I knew you were a good person, Kitakami-kun."

Sakurajima Mai looked at Kitakami Yoru with only her eyes.

"Sakurajima-senpai, I don't want to be a good person~ Let's leave here and go home."

Kitakami Yoru stood up and patted his bottom.

Sakurajima Mai followed, but her body had no strength.

In the end, she still needed Kitakami Yoru to pull her up.

"Can you walk by yourself?"

Kitakami Yoru called a taxi with his phone.

"Holding your clothes, I can..."

Sakurajima Mai followed behind, pulling on Kitakami Yoru's hem.
