Chapter 281

"It's that kind of illness where the heartbeat suddenly becomes very fast, or suddenly becomes very slow."

"This is basically common knowledge in our second year of high school…"

Tsukishima Rin pursed her lips, her expression a bit complicated.

Although after treatment, the frequency of attacks is already very low, it's not that situations won't appear at all.

She still occasionally feels uncomfortable suddenly at school and needs to stop and rest for a while before recovering.

Her parents had long ago told the teachers, so they knew about her condition.

As time went on, the news spread, and the classmates also knew.

Fortunately, everyone didn't look at her differently because of this; instead, they took good care of her.

Before, when she didn't have anyone she liked at school, she didn't feel much about this.

But now, facing Natsume Chikage, she actually didn't want him to know she suffered from arrhythmia, and even wished he would never know.

However, now she hadn't started dating Natsume Chikage yet, and he had witnessed her having an attack with his own eyes…

This made Tsukishima Rin feel an unspeakable discomfort in her heart, even stronger than when she had the attack just now.

She was afraid Natsume Chikage would have concerns because of her illness; after all, everyone hopes their partner is healthy and doesn't want to add burdens.

If they knew the other party had physical problems before dating, anyone would probably hesitate for a moment…

Tsukishima Rin's eyes were complicated, and she unconsciously tugged at Natsume Chikage's clothes, explaining hurriedly:

"Natsume-kun… my illness is actually very well controlled!"

"As long as I don't run suddenly like just now, and don't do particularly strenuous exercise, it basically won't be like today!"

"It rarely recurs normally, and it doesn't affect normal life at all, please believe me!"

Araki Yuai also chimed in:

"Yeah, Tsukishima-san, this situation doesn't happen a few times a year at school, and it's basically no different from ordinary people."

Yasui Ryouto was in pain.

Yuai, why are you still adding explanations?

If you didn't chime in, maybe Natsume-kun would mind!

Natsume Chikage shook his head, his tone peaceful:

"I won't mind."

Upon hearing this, Tsukishima Rin's expression, which was originally full of nervousness and complexity, instantly bloomed like clouds parting to reveal the sun, with a bright and charming smile, and her eyes were full of Natsume Chikage.

Yasui Ryouto saw this scene and felt his heart was about to break.

Why is it like this…

My heart hurts, could it be that I have arrhythmia too…

Araki Yuai, on the other hand, laughed more and more happily on the side, especially seeing Yasui Ryouto's devastated look, and secretly gave Tsukishima Rin a thumbs up.

Although Tsukishima Rin didn't quite understand what Araki Yuai was praising, she returned a shy and happy smile.

After resting for a while, Tsukishima Rin left Natsume Chikage's arms reluctantly.

At this time, Araki Yuai asked according to the original plan at the right time:

"Right, Tsukishima-san, how did you happen to appear here?"

Tsukishima Rin coughed lightly and explained:

"I… had nothing to do after school, so I thought about coming here to wander around with friends, buy some things, and have dinner or something."

"But they suddenly had something to do, so I was left alone…"

Araki Yuai also understood immediately and replied:

"So that's it!"

"Then that's perfect, we're going to have dinner together, why not join us?"

A blush appeared on Tsukishima Rin's face, and she said shyly:

"If you don't mind…"

When she spoke, her gaze always fell on Natsume Chikage.

After all, this time Natsume Chikage was the host; if he didn't agree, everything would be in vain.

Araki Yuai was very "savvy" and immediately touched her childhood friend Yasui Ryouto on the side with her elbow, signaling with her eyes.

"Anyway, we're going to have dinner together, Ryouto, Natsume-kun, what do you think?"

Being able to have dinner with the goddess he liked, Yasui Ryouto was of course ten thousand times willing.

He thought Araki Yuai was helping him create an opportunity and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice:

"Of course! Natsume-kun, you don't have any objections, right?"

Seeing everyone say so, Natsume Chikage didn't mind inviting Tsukishima Rin.

After all, Tsukishima Rin had given him a special piece of equipment before, so this time it would be a return gift.

"I have no problem either."

Hearing Natsume Chikage agree, Tsukishima Rin felt a leap of joy in her heart.

Araki Yuai chuckled.

Although there was a small accident in the middle of the plan, the result seemed even better than expected.

Now that Natsume-kun has agreed, the next step of the plan can be started!

She exchanged a knowing look with Tsukishima Rin.

Tsukishima Rin nodded gently without changing her expression.
