I wanted to be a bad actor in the anime, but I failed.

"Master, this is the patient's treatment report."

The doctor, who had worked hard all night, handed over a report.

Xue's mother, who had also stayed up all night waiting for Mu Lin's final treatment results, took it over tiredly.

After browsing it.

The doctor took the initiative to say: "The patient is now fine, but there are irregular shadows in the CT lung image, but after a detailed exploration, nothing was found. It should be caused by internal bleeding. With the patient's self-healing ability, it will heal on its own without treatment."

"Well, let's go down."

After the doctor left, Xue's mother leaned back in her chair, put down the treatment report, and rubbed her temples.

She had a regular schedule and it was really uncomfortable for her to suddenly stay up late.

"Monday……"

After seeing the time today, Xue's mother thought of something and summoned a servant in.

"Go to Sobu High School to ask for a few days' leave for Mu Lin-kun."

"Okay, my lord."

"Hasn't Yang No found out where she was kidnapped?"

"Forgive me for my incompetence!"

"Go down."

"Yes."

"call……"

Exhaling a breath, Xue's mother drank the tea in the cup, then stood up and walked out.

Just as he was about to take a nap in the bedroom, a servant reminded him, "Sir, your clothes are dirty."

Only then did Xue's mother realize that her precious kimono was stained with the boy's blood.

Although she was a germaphobe, she did not feel disgusted, but took off her clothes with the help of the servants.

"Wash it clean."

"I'm sorry, sir! This kimono is made of special silk, and the dirt on it can't be washed off after a night."

"This is blood, not dirt."

Snowmother strangely refuted this point.

"Excuse me, sir! Do you want to destroy this kimono?"

"No, put it in the inner layer of my closet."

Hearing this, the servant was visibly stunned, and then said: "There are many of your precious items in the inner layer. If you put this dress in it..."

“Put it in when the smell has dissipated.”

Mother Xue waved her hand impatiently, drove the servant away, and changed into another kimono with the help of another servant.

The conversation with the servant made her temporarily lose the mood to sleep, so she simply went to the infirmary.

After arriving at the infirmary.

Seeing her daughter sleeping beside the bed, she couldn't help but frown and walked over.

"Wake up."

"Yukino! Wake up!"

"Woo..."

Yukinoshita Yukino woke up dazedly, rubbing her eyes.

She was used to living alone and thought she was not in the main house, so she looked a little inappropriate when she woke up.

When her eyes focused on the person who called her, her face changed and she quickly stood up and said, "Mother."

"There's another bed next to it. Why are you sleeping on this bed?"

"I..." Yukinoshita Yukino didn't know what to say.

Mainly, she was overwhelmed by her mother's sudden concern.

I always feel that my mother has become a little more humane.

It was as if he had been freed from the burden of being the serious and heartless center of the family who only cared about leading the family forward.

"No matter how worried you are about him, there's no need to engage in meaningless self-punishment."

"If he saw it, he would just think you were doing something unnecessary and be disgusted with you, not like you."

“…Yes, sorry.”

Yukinoshita Yukino walked timidly to the other bed.

As for what the mother said just now, if someone else had said it, she would definitely refute it proudly and say, "I don't care about him. I'm just grateful for his life-saving grace. I was just too tired last night so I fell asleep without realizing it. And, I don't want him to have any good feelings towards me! It's better if he dislikes me!"

But her mother was someone who could even see through her underwear, so she simply agreed with her and climbed onto the bed obediently.

After realizing it belatedly, she suddenly felt panic in her heart.

Mother...seems to know how she feels about him.

No, that's not right. Why do you suddenly think like this?

How could I feel about him?

The self-contradictory worries were interrupted by a cough!

It came from the young man she cared about so much.

"water."

After saying this, Yukinoshita Yukino sat up and prepared to take action.

But what she saw was a scene that she would never believe in her life.

I saw that the arrogant mother actually bent down to get the cup to get water.

The most outrageous and uncomfortable thing was that she actually carefully picked up the cup and fed the boy water?

What…ah?

Yukinoshita Yukino covered her aching heart.

He was jealous of his mother for caring so much about Mu Lin.

He was also jealous that Mu Lin received such care from his mother.

Of course, the bitterness in my heart and the throbbing possessiveness naturally indicate which emotion is more serious.

"what happened?"

After Mu Lin drank the water, Xue's mother helped him lie down and fall asleep, then asked her daughter who was in a daze on the other side.

As if the incident of taking care of others drinking water had never happened, she returned to her original arrogance and calmness.

But I don’t know if it’s my illusion or if it’s just the sour feeling in my heart.

Yukinoshita Yukino always felt that her mother's beautiful and exquisite lips were curled up.

Like a mockery.

No.

It sounded more like a sneer, mocking her for not being her match.

No, no, no, impossible, absolutely impossible.

How could mother be like this?

I must be overthinking it.

Yukinoshita Yukino felt very tired, so she said "it's okay" and lay down on the bed and slowly fell asleep.

Recovering in the quiet infirmary.

Listening to the gentle breathing of the two people.

As if chasing or catering to, the crisper and softer breathing sounds followed the frequency of the smooth yet resolute breathing sounds.

The two will not merge into one.

Noticing such a subtle change, Yuki's mother compacted Mu Lin's bedding and came to Yukinoshita Yukino's bedside.

Under the bright light is a hopeless smile.

She gently touched her head with an expression that did not reveal what the expression meant, and then covered the lifted corner of the quilt and pressed it down.

"Have a good rest, you and he still have a long life to live together."

Leaving this sentence, Xue Mu left.

After taking a shower, I was finally able to relax and lean back on the soft big bed.

She received first-hand information and read it through in detail.

"I have been traveling between Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture, living an ordinary and insignificant life."

"So when did you develop this kind of aura that transcends everything and learn the legendary magic?"

"And two close female friends... No, girlfriends, right?"

"two?"

"Humph."

"Born on February 1981, 2, 15 years younger than me. If she were older, she might really be my first choice."

At this age, she has always been straightforward in her emotions. Even though Xue's mother has never been in a relationship and has only ever shaken hands with the opposite sex at most, with her rich experience and high emotional intelligence, there is no need for her to adopt the euphemistic and ineffective way of getting along that young people do.

She sighed with some regret, then gave the information to her subordinates to destroy.

She lay in bed, still lost in thought.

but……

It's not like Yukino doesn't have this opportunity.

However, as it stands now, it may be possible to break the family rule that Yukinoshita cannot marry into the family, and marry her daughter off.

In short, these are not things she needs to worry about.

These trivial matters, as well as my own emotional and private affairs, are all considered in the little free time I have after finishing my daily family affairs.

Now, the most important thing is to find Haruno and deal with the Shinomiya family.

……

"Huh? Asking for leave?"

"Who are you to him?"

"Nani? Are you from Yukinoshita? Why are you asking for leave for him?"

"He's at your house?"

"What happened... Hey! Hey!!"

"Damn it! They hung up on me without giving me any face! They didn't even give me an explanation. Are these Yukinoshita servants so arrogant?!"

In the teacher's office of Sobu High School.

Shizuka Hiratsuka was so angry that she punched the desk, scaring her colleagues around her!

"You made me worry for nothing and wasted my feelings! I will beat you up when I get back! With my increasingly powerful fighting skills!"

"But why are you suddenly hanging out with Yukinoshita? Aren't you afraid of that scary woman?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka recalled the woman who would occasionally come over when the school held important meetings.

The mere thought of that oppressive woman was frightening.

Shizuka Hiratsuka had the honor of looking into those sharp black eyes. At that moment, it felt like she had seen through her underwear, making her so frightened that she consciously avoided the sharpness.

"Forget it, just wish you the best, you stinky thing."

Let’s put aside the worry for now, I just feel a little lonely.

Why do I still feel lonely even though I have Utaha Kasumigaoka by my side at home?

Perhaps it won’t be long before these two troublesome exchange students leave.

It's like a cultural exchange festival planned on the pages on the desk.

It is a farewell ceremony, similar to a cultural festival, with various activities being held.

The most important thing is that the farewell band has not been selected yet.

"This is really a headache! I can play the guitar, how about I be included?"

"Who else in the class can play any musical instrument?"

Feeling upset, Shizuka Hiratsuka went to the smoking area and smoked a cigarette happily.

She was immersed in the smoke and mist, but this pleasant beauty was interrupted by a sudden visitor.

She was the beautiful girl with long black hair, black stockings and an exotic style who had become famous throughout the school.

Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Hiratsuka-sensei."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka put out the cigarette.

Tsk, I just lit it up and took a few puffs, what a waste!

Damn you, you stinky thing! If it weren't for you, would I dare not smoke in front of my students?

"Where is Mulin?"

"Oh?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka raised her eyebrows, wondering why the girl in front of her suddenly cared about the boy she usually didn't get along with.

"Come to think of it, you seem to have completed the commissioned task?"

"It's done now."

"That's right. Yukino had to drop out of school because of family matters, which made you feel sorry just as you were getting along well with her. But there's nothing you can do about it. In a big family, there are always things that are more important than studying. You should be more understanding of her."

"Um, so where did he go?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned against the door of the smoking area, with her arms folded across her chest and her right hand raised high to cover her nose, while her right foot kept stomping on the floor, making a "pa pa" sound.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was getting a little impatient in this smoky environment.

"Why do you care about him so much? He has a girlfriend!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka picked up the white coat and put it on her shoulder, saying this absentmindedly, then walked out of the smoking area, and left the teacher's office with Kasumigaoka and strolled in the corridor of the teaching building.

"I have something to ask him."

Utaha Kasumigaoka did not want to explain the frustrating experience of her third volume of novel encountering endless setbacks in her outline.

The second volume of the novel was a huge hit and he had become a famous light novel bestseller, but he didn't expect to run into problems with the outline again.

What a shame.

So she decided to ask Mu Lin for help. He had already agreed to it in advance, and being the proud girl she was, she wouldn't feel embarrassed about it.

Of course, she didn't realize that the dependence that had accumulated over time was also at work.

"Something? Hmm, it must be something about the light novel, right?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka stopped in front of the vending machine next to the aisle.

"He needs to take a few days off. Please wait for a while."

"Ok."

After getting the answer, Kasumigaoka Utaha was about to leave, but was stopped by Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"for you."

"Hmm?" Kasumigaoka Utaha hurriedly took the drink that was thrown to her.

It was the Coke that Shizuka Hiratsuka bought from the vending machine.

She was leaning against the wall in a domineering manner, drinking her favorite drink and said quietly: "I know you like to drink Coke, so I bought this for you. It can be regarded as compensation for letting you smell the cigarette for a while."

"Thank you."

"Uh-huh."

The warm-hearted Shizuka Hiratsuka gave Kasumigaoka a smile.

soon.

In the corridor, only the lonely teacher was left, drinking his drink in silence.

sudden.

She yelled for no reason again, "Damn it! That brat got a zero on the Chinese test. He shouldn't have chosen the wrong answers on the multiple-choice questions. Was he trying to piss me off?"

"Oh! By the way, did you deliberately take a few days off just to avoid my punishment?"

"Hiss! You really deserve a beating."

As she was muttering to herself, suddenly a cold voice exploded beside her, scaring her so much that she shivered!

I almost dropped the drink in my hand.

"Teacher Hiratsuka, Mu Lin hasn't been here for only this morning, but you've been talking about him all the time. Are you in love with him? Teacher-student relationship? Tsk tsk."

The person who spoke was the proud blonde beauty, Yumiko Miura.

She happened to be passing by here with a few of her best friends.

"Like? How, how is that possible! Stop joking!"

"Hey? Your reaction is weird." Miura narrowed his eyes.

"Ah! I'm really fed up with you love-brained high school students. You keep thinking about whether you like it or not no matter what!"

"I think a lonely woman like you, Hiratsuka-sensei, who longs for a significant other, is also a love-brained person!"

"Do you want to die?"

A cross appeared on Shizuka Hiratsuka's face and she clenched her fists with a crackling sound.

"Besides, why did I keep talking about him?"

"Eh? No? You were just talking about him. I went to the office three times to hand in homework, and I heard you talking about him every time. You also talked about him every five minutes in Chinese class."

"Ahem! Alright! This is just my way of caring about that problem student!"

"Oh, by the way, where is he?"

"What do you want from him again?" Shizuka Hiratsuka was speechless.

"Again? No, it's okay. I was just asking casually. If you don't know, forget it."

"He's on leave, I don't know where exactly he is."

"Oh, that's how it is."

"I say, do you guys just like him? Why do you keep asking me about him?"

"Haha, just like you, I care about the problem students in the class! Bye! Goodbye, Mr. Hiratsuka!"

Send away the blonde beauty and her group of girlfriends.

Hiratsuka Shizuka cursed silently, but before she could recover, another dumpling ran over.

"Hello! Hiratsuka-sensei!"

"Oh, hello, Dumpling."

"Hey, Hiratsuka-sensei calls me Dango too."

The girl with the bun-like hair shyly scratched her head, then realized that she had something serious to ask, so she said seriously, "By the way, Mr. Hiratsuka, do you know where Mu Lin went?"

"Huh - what are you pretty girls thinking? Is he that good? All you do is ask him questions all day long."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was speechless.

Obviously, at the beginning, Mu Lin was a waste who was known throughout the school but no one cared about him.

Why are there so many beautiful girls in the school who care about him now?
