Zongman: I am on the set of Oregairu, playing the role of Bai Xue

At the door of Hikigaya's house.

Two girls came unexpectedly.

They were wearing the uniform of Sobu High School, one of them had long black hair, and the other had short hair that reached her shoulders. The two of them were standing outside the wall of this single-family house, hand in hand.

The surrounding residential buildings, similar to the one in front of them, are all surrounded by low walls.

People can easily see through the half-hidden wall and clearly see the structure inside the courtyard.

Yuigahama took the initiative to step forward and opened the outer iron gate.

Yukinoshita slowed down her pace, but still followed her into the small courtyard of the Hikigaya family.

Although the courtyard is small, it is clean and tidy, with a few small trees planted on both sides. Beinuo's bicycle for school is parked against the wall.

Before Yukinoshita could take a closer look, Yuigahama had already knocked on the door on the first floor.

After three seconds, there was no response from inside the house.

"Huh? Xiaobei isn't at home?" Yuigahama tilted her head and looked inside through the framed glass on the door, but she could only see part of the entrance of the house and couldn't see Beinuo's figure at all.

Yukinoshita coughed lightly and said, "Yuigahama-san, please be careful of your behavior and be careful not to be mistaken for a thief by the neighbors around you."

"Ah~Xue actually said that to me." Yuigahama was a little dissatisfied, then ran to her side and took her hand again, "Hehe, in this case, Xiaoxue is also an accomplice."

"...What nonsense are you talking about?" Yukinoshita tapped the other person's head gently with her hand, and then pointed to the side of the door, "Isn't there a doorbell there? At least it's better than the noise of knocking on the door."

Yuigahama suddenly realized, "Yeah, why did I forget that."

After she finished speaking, she ran to ring the doorbell.

Ding Dong!

Ding dong ding dong!

The two waited for a while.

Yukinoshita couldn't help but wonder, "Maybe he fell asleep."

"Oh, that's right... In that case, we can only wait for Komachi to come back." Yuigahama said subconsciously.

"Who is Komachi?"

Yuigahama explained: "Komachi is Kokita's sister."

"Sister...?" Yukinoshita seemed to be thinking about something. "So, he has a sister... Hmm, but Yuigahama-san, you seem to know a lot about his situation. Is it my illusion?"

"Ah, ah, Xiaobei suddenly brought up this topic, so I knew about it." Yuigahama quickly made up an excuse and quickly looked away.

Yukinoshita didn't suspect anything at first, but seeing Yuigahama's slightly flustered expression, it caught her attention.

But before she could ask, the door clicked and slowly opened.

Hearing the sound, the two of them looked towards the gate together.

I saw Beinuo opened the door partially, just enough to see his whole body.

A pure black uniform casually put on, a white shirt with an open collar, revealing the delicate collarbone, a face that looked listless, and eyes that were slightly narrowed.

Beinuo's weak side, which had never been shown before, made the two girls distracted for a moment and they even forgot to say hello.

It was these two seconds of silence that made Bei Nuo's drowsy mind a little confused. He blinked and then said woodenly:

"Hallucination?"

"..."

"..."

The first person to react was Yukinoshita.

She responded unhappily: "It seems that you are very ill."

Yuigahama also reacted quickly and looked at him with concern, "Xiaobei looks so bad, did we wake you up?"

Bei Nuo rubbed his eyes and thought that since these two people could talk, it meant that he was not dreaming.

He responded in a slightly hoarse and unclear voice: "Just about to take a nap..."

"Okay, let us in." Yukinoshita put her hand on the door handle and tried to push it inward, and actually pushed it open part of the way easily.

Beinuo didn't use any strength in the first place, and his mind wasn't completely clear yet. Naturally, he didn't dare to mobilize his strength recklessly, and his whole body was in a relaxed state.

But since there are guests visiting, Beinuo will make adjustments as soon as possible.

He glanced at the "Deviation" reflexively and found that the number on it had changed by 0.1%.

This means that the system has started recording again.

So he took two steps back to let Yukinoshita and Yuigahama enter the entrance, then took a deep breath and rubbed his face to prevent his facial muscles from becoming too stiff.

Seeing that he was perking up, Yukinoshita asked, "Are you suffering from a cold or a fever? Could it be that... you didn't take your medicine?"

Bei Nuo didn't think much and replied: "Maybe taking medicine won't help."

After all, where can we find medicine to cure the side effects of “time travel”?

But Yukinoshita found it incredible. "What are you talking about? Even if it can't be cured quickly, it can at least relieve symptoms like headaches."

After hearing what she said, Bei Nuo couldn't help but be a little stunned, "Yeah... this is really a blind spot."

Since it is a physical symptom, drug intervention can be effective.

Beinuo regards "time travel" as too special, which leads to its preconceived notion that its side effects are unsolvable.

Seeing him trying so hard to hold on foolishly, Yukinoshita felt a flash of heartache in her eyes and she really didn't know what to say.

"Xiaoxue, you are so experienced." Yuigahama recalled her experience of being sick. It was basically her mother who took care of her. Once she encountered some special situations, she would also be confused.

Yukinoshita didn't think this was anything to be proud of, "I live alone, so of course I have to pay attention to these things."

Bei Nuo let out a sigh of relief.

Yes, his experience of living alone for many years was of no use at all.

Yuigahama lamented Yukinoshita's life alone while changing into slippers.

Wait until the three of them sit down.

Kitano sat alone on one side, while Yuigahama and Yukinoshita sat down next to them.

The table had not been cleared yet, no drinks or teacups had been served, and plastic lunch boxes were scattered on the table.

Even though the TV was still playing, everyone didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Bento? Is this what Xiaobei is going to eat today?" Yuigahama had no choice but to bring up this topic.

Bei Nuo quickly reacted and explained while cleaning the table: "It actually tastes pretty good."

"I remember someone said that you have experience in cooking." Yukinoshita added, "But judging from your condition today, you probably can't cook even if you want to."

Bei Nuo didn't refute anything. After cleaning up the garbage, he prepared to go to the kitchen, "I'll go prepare something to drink."

"Let me go." Yuigahama immediately stopped him, "Xiaobei, sit down and rest first."

"You are guests..."

"Hmm?" Yuigahama glanced at Kitano with some dissatisfaction, "This is what I want to do. It has nothing to do with the identity of the guest."

"..." Bei Nuo didn't know what to say, so he had to sit down obediently, "The refrigerator is over there, thank you for your help."

Yuigahama responded happily and ran off to prepare by herself.

Not long after Kitano sat down, Yukinoshita spoke again: "So where are the medicines stored?"

"It should be in the living room. Let me look for it." He didn't know if there was any painkiller. After all, he had never been sick since he came to this world.

Yukinoshita directly ordered: "Sit down."

She took the initiative to start looking for the medicine cabinet, and Bei Nuo was forced to sit down again.

After a while.

Just as Yukinoshita squatted down and carefully observed the items in the medicine cabinet.

There was a noise coming from the direction of the kitchen.

"ah!"

That was Yuigahama's frightened voice.

Kitano and Yukinoshita hurriedly set off and quickly reached Yuigahama's side.

Yuigahama was staring at the ground blankly, as if it was just a false alarm. "I was scared to death..."

"Meow~"

Kamakura let out a comfortable cat meow, crawled on the ground with all four limbs, stared straight at the strange girl in front of him, and his flexible tail swayed casually.

Kitano heaved a sigh of relief, thinking something had happened, but it turned out to be Kamakura who made the commotion.

But there is another person, the one who loves cats so much - Yukinoshita Yukino.

She looked at the cute creature on the ground and slowly fell into a state of obsession, muttering involuntarily: "Kitten, there is actually a cat here!"

Hearing Xuexia's slightly excited tone, she seemed to have guessed it long ago.

But it's possible that Yukinoshita has a cat-hunting radar and found clues about Kamakura in the living room.

The smell of a cat is quite obvious, with cat food placed in the corner of the living room. Given Yukinoshita's keen sense, it is probably only a matter of time before she discovers Kamakura's existence.

"What's the name of this child? He shouldn't be a stray cat, right?" Yukinoshita asked without turning her head, her eyes full of curiosity.

Bei Nuo was speechless.

If it was a stray cat, would she still take it home? If it was a stray cat, wouldn’t this house become a home for strays?

"Hey, its name is Kamakura." Beinuo almost forgot the existence of this little guy. After all, Kamakura never got close to him, and after his body was strengthened, he was deliberately avoiding him.

Only recently have I been able to slightly see its presence, and at least it won't flee on the spot.

"Kamakura?" Yukinoshita had a faint smile on her face, admiring the kitten's well-behaved and active appearance.

Yuigahama hid behind Kitano without knowing when, "Xiaoxue, it turns out you like cats."

Yukinoshita suppressed her inner joy and said calmly, "Well, I still like it."

Still…

Bei Nuo couldn't expose her, so he turned around and looked at Yuigahama, "Are you afraid of cats?"

"No, no, I don't actually hate cats." Yuigahama spoke without confidence, as if she was hiding something again.

"Then why are you standing behind me? Can a patient like me be of any use in resisting?"

Yuigahama was silent for a while before she slowly said, "Aren't cats animals that will quietly leave? So I'm a little sad. I used to... secretly raise stray cats, but slowly, they all disappeared."

Yukinoshita was infected by her loneliness.

With Yukinoshita's understanding of cats, she naturally understood one thing: cats will secretly leave their owners when their death is near.

And Yuigahama should also know this.

“……”Beinuo opened his mouth but said nothing.

Yukinoshita sensed that something was wrong with him, because usually at this time, Kitano would more or less express his opinions, and even if they were twisted ideas, he rarely remained silent.

Was it because of the headache... or... he was thinking of something...

"Oh, sorry, the atmosphere is a bit heavy."

Yuigahama smiled and asked the other two to return to the living room, then placed the poured barley tea on the table.

She was worried that Beinuo was sick and couldn't drink cold drinks, so she changed it to warm water.

Bei Nuo didn't say much because he knew his situation.

And Yukinoshita also found a drug similar to ibuprofen.

Under the gaze of the two girls, Beinuo had no choice but to eat a piece on the spot.

Afterwards, Yuigahama talked about some things that happened in class, as well as interesting stories about Miura, Ebina and others.

This atmosphere seemed to have returned to the service club.

The three of them sat down and chatted for about ten minutes, and then Beinuo asked them to prepare to go home.

After all, if we continue talking, Komachi will probably come back.

"It's still early..." Yuigahama was a little unhappy.

Yukinoshita expressed her understanding, "Yuigahama-san, he is still sick and just took medicine. Talking to him further will only disturb his rest."

"Thank you for your understanding, President." Bei Nuo breathed a sigh of relief.

"I know..." Yuigahama was about to get up, but suddenly thought of something, "Xiaobei, um... can you tell me your phone number?"

"Look, Xiaoxue and I originally wanted to check on your situation, but it's not convenient at all if we don't have any contact information."

Yuigahama clenched her phone tightly, her heart rate quietly quickening.

"This..." Bei Nuo hesitated because of his headache.

Yukinoshita then added, "You're right, Yuigahama-san. During the last tennis match, you were unable to contact anyone, so Totsuka-san and I had to wait. If you were a little later, we would have almost lost the game."

Although Kitano knew very well how to block the opponent's shots and the game was under his control, Yukinoshita was right.

Besides, he didn't say no.

"Okay." Beinuo took out his mobile phone and slid to the communication page.

Yuigahama was secretly delighted and asked him, "Can Xiaobei's phone use infrared scanning?"

"What kind of outdated function is this?" Bei Nuo glanced at her pink and shiny flip phone, not knowing how to complain.

Speaking of people around me, they really can't give up their flip phones. Although they respect privacy, the performance of smartphones is overwhelming.

Unless technology develops further and evolves into foldable screen smartphones, they will choose it.

But the price of the foldable screen... is another hurdle.

"I might as well tell you the phone number." Kitano was worried that Yuigahama wouldn't be able to remember it, so he paused after three digits until he finished reading the whole thing.

Yukinoshita was very quiet aside.

"Okay! I've got it in mind." Yuigahama clicked save.

Bei Nuo added, "Can you make a phone call? What if I make a mistake?"

"Xiaobei...you don't believe me at all." Yuigahama glared at him, but still made the call honestly.

Bei Nuo had to explain again, "Don't get me wrong, after all, I also need to note your number, otherwise I will hang up directly if there is an unfamiliar call."

"Ah, too."

Yuigahama and Kitano are waiting for the call to be connected.

For some reason, Yukinoshita frowned and glanced at Kitano with some displeasure.

Under Yuigahama's torment, Kitano had to do things her way even when taking notes.

There is one more contact in the phone address book:

?★Yui★?

Although Kitano wanted to add her last name, Yuigahama protested because it was not cute at all.

Just when he thought the number exchange was over.

Yukinoshita took out her cell phone and stood there, staring at the phone interface, not knowing what she was swiping.

"Boss, is there anything else?"

Hearing this, she couldn't help but secretly tighten her grip on the phone, but her expression was still calm and indifferent, "Exchange numbers, I'm calling you now."

Bei Nuo looked incredulous.

"what?"
