Chapter 105: The Opportunity Was That Baseball Practice Match

Kuze Oto, her features delicate, checked Qingshan Li's arm with an expressionless face.

"You must go to the hospital." she said.

Miyase Yaeko was about to take out her mobile phone, glanced at the Ono Sisters, and hesitated.

"I'll contact them." Mikami Ai took out her mobile phone and walked out of the infirmary.

"I'm counting on you, Mikami-senpai!" Ono Mizuki said anxiously.

"Kuze-sensei, is Li alright?" Ono Mika asked.

"About a week's rest." Kuze Oto said, "There's one thing I don't understand. This kind of injury couldn't have been caused by a single sudden incident. You should have felt it. Why didn't you stop?"

"A hero cannot flee in the face of battle." Besides that, what else could Qingshan Li say?

"Contact made." It was only the time of two sentences. Mikami Ai walked in, "The car is coming right away."

"You all stay here." Qingshan Li said to everyone, "Ono Mihana and I will go. There should still be Ball Games Tournament training this afternoon."

Ono Mizuki said: "At a time like this..."

"Mizuki." Qingshan Li interrupted her, "It's just my right arm injured, nothing serious."

"Your right arm has been injured several times already!" Ono Mizuki shouted even louder than him.

At this moment, no one cared about her inadvertently revealing her true colors.

"I swear, I won't play baseball anymore!" Qingshan Li raised his left hand.

Ono Mika also advised: "Mizuki, if anything happens, I'll notify you."

"... Alright then. Notify me immediately if there's any news."

Everyone came to the traffic circle at the school gate, where a Mercedes MPV was already waiting.

At a time like this, the car they called was still not a 62S, but Mikami Ai really didn't want a member of the opposite sex touching her car.

"Finally got in this car." Qingshan Li said satisfied.

Ono Mika was amused by him.

◇

Everyone watched the black MPV drive away.

"Is Qing Shan Jun alright?" F·Rino asked worriedly.

"It's fine, it's fine. When I first met him, wasn't his foot injured too? It's healed now!" Drummer Gu Meng Shi was very optimistic.

"Putting it that way, I feel Junior Student is quite fragile." Bass Sakurako mused, "A fragile-type beautiful boy, a reverse-pursuit series, huh. I don't dislike it."

"We should go to the classroom." Agatsuma Haruka glanced at the time, "Let's visit him together in the evening."

Mikami Ai and Miyase Yaeko also left the traffic circle and walked toward the teaching building.

The two walked side by side. Many students who came to school only at noon, as long as they could look at the two without being discovered, would definitely steal glances.

A slender, well-proportioned body, beautiful legs, and a dignified aura.

"What exactly is going on between you and their family?" Mikami Ai asked.

"A chain-reaction car accident on the highway. In the loss of control, their car happened to be in front, and he and Ono Mika's mother died on the spot."

"Then he's still willing to save you?" Mikami Ai looked at her.

"He didn't save just me. Whoever could be saved, he saved. He ignored anyone who spoke to him until he collapsed from exhaustion." Miyase Yaeko said with a tone of reminiscence.

"Sounds like psychological trauma."

"Exactly. I'd rather he ignored me clearly like the Ono Sisters, than see him like this, as if nothing happened."

"Do you care about him that much?" Mikami Ai asked.

"In that accident, not only him, but I too suffered psychological trauma—as long as he's by my side, I feel a strong sense of security."

"For example, without him, I feel like I'm riding an elevator in an abandoned building, surrounded by mold and gloom; with him by my side, I'm riding a sightseeing elevator."

"My choice of husband must be him, no one else."

While speaking, the two walked into the teaching building.

Their shoe cabinets were not far apart.

"In my opinion, what you need is not him, but psychological treatment." Mikami Ai said.

"I've received psychological treatment and am already a healthy beautiful girl, but recently there are signs of a relapse, so I'm prepared to keep him by my side for a lifetime."

Miyase Yaeko kept her posture of hooking her finger into her shoe, looking at Mikami Ai: "Confirm once more, you won't make a move on Qingshan?"

"I only see him as a friend, and won't go further."

"That's good." Miyase Yaeko smiled.

Mikami Ai put on her shoes, looked at her: "But I really dislike your warning attitude."

"And then?"

"If Qingshan Li falls for me, you can't blame me." Mikami Ai lightly brushed her black long hair as if saying goodbye, then turned and left.

The pitch-black, cool Miyase Yaeko stood in place, watching Mikami Ai's back.

What she said made sense.

She could no longer show consideration for the Ono Sisters.

Miyase Yaeko decided to take the initiative. She couldn't approach Qingshan Li, but she could make Qingshan Li approach her actively.

Starting from this Ball Games Tournament.

The Student Council President surnamed Miyase, her power was unlimited.

◇

"Ice three times a day, fifteen minutes each time; continue shoulder joint stability training; also, no swinging arm movements for a week—do you need pain-relief patches?"

"No need." Qingshan Li answered.

"Doctor, is he really alright?" Ono Mika asked.

"Let me see, hmm— there's still a bit of mild malnutrition and sleep deprivation. You high school students can't help the sleep deprivation, but watch out for the malnutrition. Other than that, nothing else. Your body is very healthy."

"Thank you, Doctor!" Ono Mika went to pay.

Seeing them off, the doctor said, "Qing Shan Jun, arms are like eyes — they're one-time use. Although that's an old saying, when using your own body, please think a little more."

"Thank you." Qingshan Li bowed slightly to the doctor.

The two still rode in the Mercedes-Benz MPV, leaving "Juntendo University Affiliated Hospital".

"This car's space is not bad. For future trips, I'll just buy this kind of car." Qingshan Li examined the interior space.

The driver laughed a bit, his goodwill toward him increasing a little more.

A car used by classmates for "odd jobs," yet he didn't pretend to look down on it out of pride — this kind of frankness was not bad.

Qingshan Li reached home, and Ono Mika went to school.

"Alone at home, what should I do? Hmm, decided. I'll go check Mika and Miyuki's room to see if they're using the new underwear!"

Qingshan Li squatted in front of the vegetable garden for ten minutes, then lingered at the fish pond for ten minutes.

Growing vegetables and raising fish are too terrifying.

Unless you're a professional vegetable grower and fish raiser, it's very easy to lose your ambition to playthings!

Qingshan Li returned to his own room.

—System!

【Start "Massage" Guidance】

A man at home should do some handicraft work.

"Ah~"

After two hours of massage ended, Qingshan Li rested a while, then went to the bathroom to shower.

After washing off the sweat all over his body, he finally recovered a refreshing feeling.

Whether it was because of the shower, or the massage, or the ice compress, his right arm felt much better.

At this rate of recovery, it'll probably be fine in two or three days.

"Buzz~" Incoming call display.

"Qing Shan Jun."

"Akita-sensei?" Qingshan Li asked.

"Is your body okay?"

"Mm, it's already fine. The doctor said—" Qingshan Li hesitated slightly, ". Probably need to rest for a week."

"Then rest well. No need to participate in the Ball Games Tournament, but if you have time, come to school to cheer for your classmates too."

"Okay, thank you for your concern, Sensei."

With the system's help, Qingshan Li could catch up to the Ball Games Tournament in a few days. The reason he said a week was so the Ono Sisters wouldn't worry.

Additionally, if possible, try not to expose anything abnormal.

Finally, while others participate in the Ball Games Tournament, he can secretly study.

This time Math first place, next time English, National Language first place, soon all subjects first place.

Say it, do it. Qingshan Li took out the Modern Japanese Applied Exercise Workbook.

"Buzz~"

Picked up the mobile phone.

"Hello."

"Qing Shan." It was Miyase Yaeko.

"My body's fine, preparing to rest."

"So cold when you contact me only when there's nothing wrong." She teased.

"What is it?" Qingshan Li was anxious to study.

"I just got feedback from Akita-sensei. You can't participate in the Ball Games Tournament?"

"The doctor said to rest for a week. Arm can't swing, so ball games probably can't be played."

"School rules require everyone to participate. Did you know this?"

"I know, but I'm injured."

"Then come help at the Student Council — you should be able to tell, this is an order, not a discussion. The Student Council is comparatively hard work. Tomorrow morning 8:30, gather at the Student Council Room." Miyase Yaeko hung up the phone; her momentum was indeed an order.

Should've known to participate in the Ball Games Tournament.
