What the hell is this? The person I was mockingly imitating was standing right beside me, and I was caught red-handed...

If it had been anyone else, it might have been fine.

But this was Beichuan Si!

Nakajima Michika really felt bitter inside.

However, compared to Nakajima Michika's current psychological state, Beichuan Si was much more straightforward.

He thoughtfully shifted his gaze away from Nakajima Michika's buttocks and turned his head saying, "I didn't plan to hit you."

"Eh...?" Frightened inside, Nakajima Michika unconsciously raised her head upon hearing this.

Beichuan Si found a caregiver's chair to sit down and said in a calm tone, "I'm not a devil, what's most important now is to ensure your physical condition remains stable, so no, I will not hit you harshly."

With that, he added, "Do you really think I'm the kind of person who would hit someone without warning?"

What on earth do you think you are, Beichuan?

Nakajima Michika's mouth twitched.

But Beichuan Si's retort undoubtedly posed a life-or-death question for her; she didn't even think about it and immediately shook her head, "No, no, I do know that you, Beichuan, are someone who likes to reason with others."

The moment she said this, Nakajima Michika felt a pang of guilt.

"Mm." Beichuan Si responded, not caring about the honesty of Nakajima Michika's words, and continued, "How are you feeling?"

"Uh... not so great."

Seeing that Beichuan Si really had no intention of hitting her, Nakajima Michika lay back down on the hospital bed and said thoughtfully, "If I have to pick something different from usual, it would be that the hospital's nutritional meals are awful, definitely not as good as the ones you make... Ouch!"

Before she could finish her sentence, she felt someone slap her head hard.

Nakajima Michika looked up at Beichuan Si with tear-filled eyes, crying out in aggrievement:

"Beichuan! You definitely said you wouldn't lay a hand..."

"Hmm?" Beichuan Si glared.

"Wu—"

Nakajima Michika shrank her neck in grievance and didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Just listen to the doctor's instructions since they're already preparing nutritional meals; I don't need to make you any extra meals here."

"But..." Nakajima Michika moved her lips but eventually didn't continue.

Seeing Nakajima Michika's pitiful look, Beichuan Si rubbed his temples and said, his expression slightly relaxed, "When you get discharged, the summer vacation will almost be here for me and the future as well; I'll take you on a vacation outside Tokyo... including Hui Li and the others. Let's consider it a discharge celebration."

Indeed, if the surgery goes well, Beichuan Si was completely capable of using "Anima Therapy" to expedite Nakajima Michika's discharge, which would coincide with the summer vacation... There would absolutely be no problem taking her out for a vacation.

"Really?" Nakajima Michika, who had been feeling down, suddenly laughed out loud.

"Mm." Beichuan Si responded again.

Next to them, Qianye Yuki, who had been quiet, shook her head somewhat helplessly.

She noticed that in front of Beichuan Si, Nakajima Michika really acted like a child, instantly happy when he spoke.

It wasn't like this best friend of hers was always this way.

But... it was good.

Qianye Yuki breathed a sigh of relief.

When she first sent Nakajima Michika to the Beichuan Family, she was also a bit uneasy, considering Nakajima Michika was in a very bad state at that time, even having suicidal thoughts.

And now look at Nakajima Michika who went to the Beichuan Family?

Such a carefree laughter was indeed the symbol of a healthy mindset.

But still...

Qianye Yuki couldn't help but glance at Beichuan Si and Nakajima Michika again.

"Take good care of yourself, and when the time comes, I'll make whatever you want to eat."

"Mm!"

"Remember to take your medicine on time every day, as the doctor ordered."

"Mm!"

"Call me when the time of the surgery is set."

"Mm!"

"..."

Watching Nakajima Michika who looked like she had given up on thinking, Qianye Yuki exhaled deeply.

Ignoring the age difference between Beichuan Si and Nakajima Michika, the content of the conversation just now really sounded like instructions a brother would give to his sister.

Although Nakajima Michika was five years older than seventeen-year-old Beichuan Si.

Just as Qianye Yuki was pondering this, Beichuan Si silently walked over to her, patted her shoulder, and pointed outside the hospital room, hoping to talk to her privately.

After speaking a word to Nakajima Michika, Qianye Yuki and Beichuan Si left the hospital room.

Before Qianye Yuki could speak, Beichuan Si had already started speaking, "Miss Ying, I apologize for the trouble with Michika's matter, Hui Li and I have school, otherwise I should be the one handling this."

"Uh..."

Qianye Yuki didn't expect Beichuan Si to call her out just to say this.

She hesitated for a moment, then took a step back and bowed apologetically to Beichuan Si, "I apologize, Senior Beichuan, I was distracted. But..."

Qianye Yuki paused, "This is actually something I should do, so please don't be like this."

She turned her head to look toward the hospital room, saying without any hesitation:

"I've always treated Shihua as family, she was also the first friend I truly made, so it's natural for me to do these things for her."

Clearly, everything Qianye Yuki said was true.

It's unknown what had happened between her and Nakajima Michika.
