Chapter 12: Should One Ask About Private Life?
【Specialty: Household E, Massage E】
Kuze Oto had stayed at the Chinese Massage Hospital for a while, and Qingshan Li remembered every technique she had learned.
Given time, Massage could definitely reach 'B'.
【Specialty】 Unlike 'Body', 'Strength', 'Intelligence', 'Beauty', 'Speed', even just 'E' surpassed the vast majority of people.
None of that mattered; under System Guidance, every practice was perfect, and Qingshan Li felt his legs had improved a lot.
If Kuze Oto was taking medicine, then he was intravenous infusion, with faster onset and better effect.
But it was limited, after all it was just massage.
——System, keep pressing!
【Body Cultivation in progress, unable to guide 'Massage'】
Qingshan Li also knew the principle that excess is as bad as deficiency.
——Then don't rest, get up and study Mathematics II for me!
Qingshan Li took his bookbag, took out the math textbook from inside, and began studying with a focused expression.
Having heard no movement for a long time, Kuze Oto stood up again and walked toward the hospital bed.
A perfect index finger like an artificial one gently parted the white curtain; the boy who seemed to have some leg problems was seriously doing math problems on the bed.
Spring light was bright outside the window, the boy's profile faintly glowing.
Kuze Oto glanced at the boy's hand constantly solving problems, then gazed at his face for a good while.
She could tell Qingshan Li had completely not noticed her arrival, had not noticed her gaze, she could be sure.
Kuze Oto looked again at the white paper crumpled into a ball at the head of the bed.
So young, once after this so rational, whether the future would be brilliant or dim?
However, someone like him, letting him come to the infirmary often was fine too.
Kuze Oto put down the curtain.
Formulas, formulas, formulas, constantly reciting formulas;
Solving problems, solving problems, solving problems, constantly solving problems.
Under System Guidance, every step Qingshan Li took fell in the footprints of predecessors, walking more steadily;
mobilizing all his wisdom, the harvest was richer;
truly standing on the shoulders of giants to gaze into the distance, everything was within sight!
The System ignited the huge energy stored within Qingshan Li himself, awakening all his potential.
Two hours later, Qingshan Li felt slightly tired at the same time, but also a sense of exhilaration and satisfaction.
——System, press legs!
Kuze Oto heard the sound of "Clap! Clap! Clap!" again.
She kept a straight face, like a robot with no other expression, continuing to handle her work without blinking.
Besides treating bodies, Kuze Oto also had to care for the students' psychology.
Kaimei High School had set up a psychological mailbox on its internal network, and students could submit anonymously at any time.
She needed to handle these submissions, and talk heart-to-heart with the students.
Children of rich families also had all kinds of troubles, never truly carefree, just many people bore their sad things themselves.
After pressing his legs, Qingshan Li continued to have the System study math.
Nowadays, in math, not only his progress but also his depth surpassed most people of the same grade.
The second self-study period ended.
"The feeling of being filled with knowledge is too good." He involuntarily spoke his feeling aloud.
"It's time to be filled with lunch." Kuze Oto pulled open the curtain.
When she held the curtain open with both arms, the white coat she wore fluttered slightly, exposing her waist completely, very slender.
Kaimei High School had its own cafeteria; as long as you paid, the food in the cafeteria could be eaten freely.
Tuition, school trip fees, meal fees, etc., Qingshan Li and the Ono Sisters did not need to pay.
"Your sister and younger sister came just now, and have already gone to the cafeteria to get food for you." Kuze Oto said.
"Thank you, teacher." Qingshan Li rubbed his foot, "I feel much better."
Kuze Oto began.
"Any feeling?"
"No feeling."
"Here?"
"A bit painful."
After examining him, Kuze Oto nodded and said: "You can return to the classroom this afternoon."
Qingshan Li regretted it deeply; if he had known, he wouldn't have told the truth.
"Teacher, can I stay here this afternoon? I promise not to be lazy, I will study hard!"
"Do you have psychological problems?" Kuze Oto slightly turned her head to size him up, "Afraid of class? Ostracized by classmates?"
"."
"Looks like not."
Qingshan Li could only comfort himself that in the classroom, learning efficiency using the teaching mode was higher.
But as soon as he zoned out, the System would do things like 'confess to Ono Mika for him', 'praise Ono Mizuki's chest for him'.
Soon, the Ono Sisters brought him food—only special circumstances allowed takeout.
Qingshan Li was really about to starve to death.
Still not full after eating, he looked at Kuze Oto's lunch box.
The lunch box was very high-end, containing a full eight dishes; although each dish had very little rice, she hadn't finished it, looking as if she hadn't touched it.
Being hungry was fine, but eating half and still not being full completely aroused Qingshan Li's craving for food.
"Can you give me what the teacher can't finish?" He finally spoke up.
Kuze Oto malfunctioned.
After a slight short circuit, she handed the lunch box to Qingshan Li somewhat uncertainly.
Under Ono Mika's pained gaze, Ono Mizuki's disdainful gaze, and Kuze Oto's puzzled gaze, Qingshan Li continued eating.
The amount Kuze Oto couldn't finish, once in Qingshan Li's hands, one dish per mouthful, was all solved in a few bites.
"Eighty percent full." He was satisfied and wiped his mouth with a tissue.
"Is it okay?" Kuze Oto asked.
"Hmm?" Qingshan Li was puzzled.
"The leftover food."
"Oh, that, it's okay, it's okay."
Qingshan Li and the Ono Sisters could only eat a fresh meal once every three days at home.
Actually it wasn't that fresh; the ingredients were a large amount of special offer items bought all at once, already stockpiled for a long time.
If it were still his previous life, Qingshan Li might have minded, but with the experience of this lifetime, eating clean leftover rice was completely not a problem for him.
"You guys go busy yourselves, I'll sleep in the infirmary; the teacher said I can be discharged this afternoon." Qingshan Li smiled and said to the Ono Sisters.
Ono Mika worked part-time in the evening, so she had to seize the daytime to study; noon was very important;
Ono Mizuki still had club activities.
Both had things to do.
"Teacher, is Ryo-kun really okay?" Ono Mika asked.
"I gave him Chinese massage, an ancient technique I learned in China." Kuze Oto said.
As expected, the Ono Sisters showed relieved smiles.
But you two should know, Kuze Oto learned as a patient, just like someone saying they stayed in a temple for many years and knew many scriptures, but was actually a prisoner watched over by temple monks.
After the two sisters left, Kuze Oto drew the curtains again, and Qingshan Li gave himself another massage.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
——Named: "Afternoon in the Infirmary"
After waking up from a nap, Qingshan Li could already walk on his own.
Returning to the classroom in the afternoon, the first period was Classical.
Qingshan Li hesitated for a while, but still gave up the plan to rest for one period.
It was all because of the atmosphere.
Kaimei High School's learning atmosphere was strong; there were ambitious ones who decided from childhood to become lawyers, chemists, or robot researchers, and there were "travelers" who used Tokyo University as a springboard to go abroad and see the world.
——System, come out and study Classical!
Qingshan Li deliberately spaced out to see what the system would do; this might also provide material.
Hands left the desktop.
Oh? What would it do?
Started taking off pants.
How could it be!
It's just studying!
School ended at three-thirty; because of his leg injury, Qingshan Li, who was originally on duty, received special treatment and could leave first.
Just as he walked out of the classroom, he saw Mikami Ai waiting for him—or rather, coming to catch him.
The girl's black hair was gilded with a layer of gold film in the sunlight.
Mikami Ai sized him up: "Your complexion looks a bit pale, but that's fine; I won't ask about your private life."
Please do ask!
