Chapter 45: Clingy and Biting (Two-in-one with landmines and extra chapters *2) ...

The word "hospital" made Liangnai's mind go blank.

It’s definitely not a minor illness, otherwise how could he say such insincere words?

The sky outside the window was dark, with thick inky clouds pressing down on the sky. The sun was nowhere to be seen, and low pressure was swirling around Liang Nai. The oppressive atmosphere made the people outside tactfully not disturb her.

"Mentaiko."

"Is Kirihara in trouble?" Otsutsukota asked worriedly, "Should we go and ask if we can help?"

Panda replied without even looking up, "I can't help you."

He clicked on the message sent by the auxiliary supervisor, "Another mission, this time it's me and Ryouna."

He took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and prepared to step into the low-pressure area.

Ryouna, who was at the center of the storm, couldn't calm down at all. She deleted and subtracted messages in the chat box with her fingertips, and didn't even send the last word.

"A fool is a fool." She cursed inwardly.

"You were the one who reached out first." Ryouna's orange-red eyes flashed with a deep light, "It's not that easy to back down."

She stood up suddenly, her movements hurried, with a hint of anger and heartache on her cold face.

Panda moved swiftly, dodging the onrushing Ryouna. "Ryouna, where are you going? A mission has arrived."

The person involved didn't even turn around and said in a strong voice, "Catch the lying idiot!"

Maki waved her hand in disdain. "Let her go now. She's been so distracted all day. I'm afraid she'll be eaten by a cursed spirit if she goes on a mission."

"What about the mission?"

Panda probably guessed who Ryona was going to see, but this mission required two people. If Ryona didn't go, he couldn't go alone.

"I'll go for her."

Although she says she dislikes Ryouna in many ways, in fact, if anything happens to Ryouna, Maki will definitely be the first one to rush to help.

I remember the first night after the sister exchange meeting, Liangnai was alone, holding her pillow and knocking on her door.

As soon as the door opened, she knew that Ryona had come because of the matter between her and Mayi. She saw that the old scars hidden in her and Mayi's incompatibility were revealed.

She is also a fool. She sees other people's affairs more clearly than anyone else, but she starts to think about all kinds of things when it comes to herself.

It was rare for this idiot to wake up for once. Taking on the mission for her was like gaining practical experience. Maki took the upper cloud and nodded to Panda, "Just this once."

Panda smiled and didn't expose Maki, "Let's go, the assistant supervisor is waiting for us."

Jinjing General Hospital

On the rooftop, a young man with blue-purple hair was gazing into the distance absentmindedly, his slightly curly hair gently blown by the wind, his brows were slightly furrowed beneath his hair, and sadness lingered in the boy's delicate eyes.

He clenched his hands weakly, then loosened them again, clenching and loosening them like this.

While celebrating winning his second consecutive championship, he fainted in front of everyone in the tennis club without any warning.

It seemed like God was playing a not-so-funny joke on him. The doctor said he had Guillain-Barré syndrome.

The success rate of the surgery is not high, and if it fails, it may cause him to be unable to play forever.

Conservative treatment can only delay the deterioration of the disease but cannot completely cure it.

After learning the result, Yukimura Seiichi did not show his collapse in front of everyone. Instead, he smiled and comforted his members.

"I can still hold the racket for now, right? Don't worry too much, it will be fine."

He forced a smile and persuaded them to go back and rest early.

Everyone in the tennis club had red eyes. As a child trainer, Sanada wanted to say something, but Yanagi Renji dissuaded him, "He needs his space. Let him be quiet."

Yukimura Seiichi was the only one left in the empty room. He sat there in silence for a while, then came to the rooftop where he was now.

Time passed little by little, and the notification ring of his cell phone never rang again after he rejected Liangna's invitation.

“I’m so sorry…”

"Sorry for what?"

A clear voice sounded, and Yukimura Seiichi subconsciously looked towards the door.

"Ryouna...senpai?"

The flame in the girl's eyes was like a torch in the darkness, like a guardian god, splitting the sky covered with dark clouds with a flame blade.

Seeing the weak and pale boy's pitiful appearance, Liang Nai lost all his temper.

A pair of iris-purple eyes were wet and stared at him intently, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in the next second.

In the end, she chose to compromise, and her helpless sigh reached Yukimura Seiichi's ears.

'Have I disappointed her?'

Yes, he lost his most beloved tennis and chose to escape. In Liangna's eyes, he must be decadent and cowardly now.

What's there to be angry about? Ryounai asked herself again.

The boy looked so pitiful, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world. How could she be angry?

Forget it, I've been pursuing her for three months, so this time, let her take the remaining step.

One step, two steps, the footsteps became clearer and clearer.

"Need a hug?"

The girl's clear voice boomed overhead. Its gentle, soft tone, like the gurgling of a spring, instantly soothed Yukimura Seiichi's chaotic thoughts.

He was stunned and looked up in disbelief.

The girl who was thought to have left was now standing in front of him in the afterglow of the setting sun, like a god, and gently stroked the side of his face.

His usually cold and indifferent face was now filled with a tolerant and warm smile that was unique to him.

"Why does it look like a stray kitten?"

I felt a soft, cool sensation on my fingertips, and I knew without asking that I must have been on the rooftop for some time.

But Liangnai couldn't get angry even though he did this.

She had no choice but to caress him gently. The delicate touch of his skin made her rub it a few more times, trying to warm the boy with the warmth of her palms.

She was about to release her hand with amusement, but just as she was about half a knuckle's width away, she felt a trembling pressure on the back of her hand.

"want."

Ryona tilted her head and let Yukimura hold her hand. "What do you want?" she asked patiently.

"I want to be hugged."

Worries about being dragged down, worries about losing the future, whatever the worries were, they were no longer important at this moment.

He just wanted to,

I just want to hug the person in front of me tightly.

The person you are thinking about all the time.

Feeling the force tightening around her waist, Ryouna didn't struggle. She moved slowly and gently stroked the head resting on her waist.

The boy's hair felt very good, and Ryouna couldn't help but use the same technique she usually used on Akagi on Yukimura.

"Does Ryouna think I'm a cat?"

Yukimura, who was burying his head and refusing to come out, asked Ryouna in a muffled voice.

"Yes, isn't it a cat?"

The boy's hair was messed up, and Ryona couldn't help but let out a laugh.

When it gets irritated, it hides from people like a cat. If it’s not a cat, then what is it?

"Are you angry?" he continued.

Ryouna paused for a few seconds and told Yukimura Seiichi her answer honestly, "It was there at the beginning, but it disappeared later."

The girl's clothes have a light lavender scent, which is the smell of the most common detergent on the market.

But for some reason, Yukimura Seiichi felt at ease.

The pale lips opened slightly, and a hoarse sound came out of the throat.

"I'm scared."

"I'm afraid of losing tennis forever. I'm afraid that you and I have no future."

"So I..."

Before he could finish his words, Ryona interrupted him.

"So you chose to escape?" she added the complete explanation.

The boy's body tensed up, and he increased the strength of his arms, holding Ryouna tightly.

It seemed like he was having trouble breathing, and Ryona couldn't help but pinch the culprit's face.

"Guillain-Barré syndrome is not impossible to recover from."

The young man who should have been full of vigor and energy on the court was now sitting on the rooftop in a hospital gown, looking dejected. Seeing this, Ryouna's heart tightened and a dense pain welled up in her heart.

She hadn't noticed it just now, but now that she was closer, Ryouna discovered that Yukimura Seiichi was stained with the remnants of cursed energy that didn't belong to him.

She lowered her eyes, and from an angle that Yukimura Seiichi couldn't see, her eyes were filled with a thousand-year-old ice.

A cursed spirit? Being able to leave its host, it seemed quite high-level.

She stroked Yukimura Seiichi's jaw gently, "Will you believe me?"

Suddenly, she didn't want to cover up with white lies anymore.

She has no way to treat Guillain-Barré syndrome, but the curse spirit has a way.

If this disease is really caused by the cursed spirit, then as long as the exorcism is successful, Yukimura Seiichi's illness will not be a problem.

Ryouna's nonsensical words about whether or not to believe her, if it were someone else, they might think Ryouna was joking to comfort her, but Yukimura Seiichi believed it.

Just like five years ago, the girl overlapped with that childish and blurry figure and rescued him from the nightmare.

The panic in my heart was swept away, and the shaky bridge of my heart was reinforced.

The boy raised his head with his fair cheeks pinched red, his violet eyes full of trust.

"I trust you."

The response without hesitation made Ryouna want to tease him, but the boy's serious and trusting expression was real.

So familiar, this look of unconditional trust is so familiar.

Five years ago, in a forest, she was on a mission to exorcise a cursed spirit. However, unlike before, a little girl was trapped by the cursed spirit and fell into a nightmare.

She didn't have time to think as her cursed power erupted. She just wanted to quickly exorcise the cursed spirit and rescue the little girl.

......The little girl woke up and looked at him with the same trusting eyes.

"Yukimura." Ryouna spoke suddenly.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

While Ryouna was still not able to react, Yukimura Seiichi quietly hugged her tighter and rubbed his face against hers. The joy in his heart was about to overflow, and his whole body was filled with bubbles of happiness and peace of mind.

For Ryouna, who has already included Yukimura Seiichi in her protection circle, this little action is naturally indulgence.

Who can resist the rub of a beautiful cat, especially a beautiful cat that you like.

"Do you have a sister?"

A question mark slowly appeared above Yukimura Seiichi's head.

"I don't have an older sister, only a younger sister."

Liang Nai continued to ask, "What about cousins?"

"No." Yukimura Seiichi raised his usual faint smile. "Why are you asking all this suddenly?"

Liang Na, who already had the answer, didn't dare to speak, and could only explain vaguely, "It's okay, just asking casually."

She started to make up a story, "I just thought that if you had a sister, she would be as pretty as you."

Yukimura Seiichi obviously didn't believe this excuse. He wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by the nurse who came to see him.

The wind blew a little stronger and the door to the rooftop was opened again.

"Young couple, have you had enough of talking about love?" The nurse crossed her arms, and even through the mask she wore, one could see the anger on her face.

"We agreed to give you half an hour to relax on the rooftop. It's already been an hour. Let's talk about love inside."

"Even if the formal treatment starts tomorrow, you can't just sit on the rooftop and enjoy the breeze like this."

She turned around and looked at Liang Na with a look of disappointment, "You too, your boyfriend followed his mischief, and as his girlfriend, you indulged him."

"Don't you have to play tennis in the future? How can you play if you don't take good care of your body?"

Yukimura opened his mouth to explain that they were not a couple, that Ryouna was not his girlfriend.

"I'm sorry, I'll definitely keep a close eye on him from now on." Ryona admitted her mistake and pulled Yukimura Seiichi over to admit it with her. "We will definitely not make the same mistake again."

Seeing that they had a good attitude in admitting their mistakes, the nurse let them go.

"Don't do it again. Go back to the ward and rest early."

The door of the ward was closed gently. Yukimura Seiichi did not lie down on the bed, but followed Ryona stubbornly.

Wherever Ryouna goes, he goes.

"How long are you going to follow me?" Ryona asked jokingly, raising an eyebrow. "I'm not going to run away, so why am I so clingy?"

She sat on the sofa in the single ward, with Yukimura Seiichi sitting beside her. Her purple eyes were as sharp as torches, and her pupils contained an expectation that could not be ignored.

"Just now... why didn't you refute it?"

He kept the time in mind. The three-month agreement was due to end in the next two days, but his illness...

The love in his heart cannot be concealed. Yukimura Seiichi cannot deceive himself. He cannot let go. He wants to be with Ryouna.

"What's your rebuttal?" Ryouna asked back.

The anger has subsided, but the punishment cannot be reduced.

The villain in her heart was waving her fists and cheering, humph, she must win back a city this time!

Before he knew it, the position had changed and Yukimura Seiichi was trapped in the narrow sofa seat, unable to move.

Ryona pressed on, her hands resting on the armrests on both sides, her smile bewitching and strange, "What are you refutating?"

"Um... refutation that I'm your girlfriend?"

The girl's fragrance was like a sweet rope. For some unknown reason, Yukimura Seiichi lost all ability to move.

He turned his head away with a blush, not daring to look at Liangnai.

This is the first time I've seen Ryouna like this. In the past, the girl was the one who blushed.

Yukimura Seiichi's heart was pounding, and he could no longer tell whether his weakness was due to the illness or something else.

"Being misunderstood...is not good."

It was so dry that even Yukimura Seiichi felt that his explanation was pale and powerless.

When he was misunderstood on the rooftop just now, the curve of his mouth never dropped.

"Not good? Not good for whom?" Liang Na leaned over slightly again, pinched the boy's chin with her fingertips, and forced his face to look at her.

The tips of their noses almost touched each other, and the dark green hair playfully brushed across his cheek from time to time, and the long eyelashes fluttered, as if to melt the person trapped on the sofa.

Yukimura Seiichi had nowhere to hide and didn't dare to look her in the eye. His eyes were fixed on the corner of Ryouna's clothes.

"...bad for you."

After saying this answer, the light in his eyes dimmed.

"Idiot." Ryouna cursed secretly in her heart.

"Well, are you happy then?"

Ryona suppressed her shyness and pinched Yukimura Seiichi's red earlobe.

She learned from the experience she gained in the game and seduced Yukimura Seiichi step by step.

"The thing about being mistaken for my boyfriend."

The hot air he exhaled sprayed on the boy's earlobe, and the three words "boyfriend" were like fireworks, and an emotion called happiness and satisfaction bloomed in his mind.

"Happy." Yukimura Seiichi subconsciously wanted to tilt his head and rub it, just like on the rooftop, it seemed to have become a habit in just one hour.

Unexpectedly, he got some free time, and the originally narrow space became wider.

"I'm happy." Liang Na stood up coldly, "But someone seems to have given up the bet early."

She pretended to be distressed, bit her lip and looked at Yukimura, "What do you say we should do?"

"Why don't we just forget it? After all, we have to have a sense of rules."

At this point, there was nothing Yukimura Seiichi didn't understand. Ryouna was punishing herself.

"It can't be counted."

He reached out and grabbed Liang Nai, apologizing earnestly, "I was wrong. I didn't give up for three months."

He spoke every word clearly, "So it can't be counted."

In the dimly lit ward, only the sofa is brightly colored, and only Ryouna's eyes are warm.

How could I give up? The moment I saw Liang Nai, all other thoughts disappeared, and my instinctive reaction was to catch her.

Because of her illness, she had lost a lot of weight, and the slightly empty sleeves added a bit of the charm of a sickly beauty.

But the boy in the blue and white striped hospital gown still stood tall and straight, and no setbacks could break his back.

This is the Yukimura Seiichi she knows, and Ryouna's mood has improved a lot.

This was the 'Son of God' she liked.

The bad factors in the blood became active, Ryouna's beautiful eyes rolled, and she started to act like a spoiled child.

She turned around and slammed herself on the sofa, "Heh, to me, that's a waiver."

She lay on her back and gently poked the delicate cheek of the person next to her with her finger, "Okay, Yukimura-kun, who was mistaken for your boyfriend, should lie down on the hospital bed and rest well now."

Her fingers were caught off guard, gravity shifted, and she fell into a thin but strong embrace.

The instigator considerately helped Ryouna adjust her sitting position so that she could sit more comfortably on his lap.

Then he hugged Ryona tightly again, and rubbed his head against her neck as he wished.

"How could Ryouna cheat?" Yukimura Seiichi also learned to argue, "Does Ryouna cheating mean that I win?"

"Ryouna, you actually like me too, right?"

Liangnai's eyes were vague for a moment, as if her thoughts had suddenly gone blank.

No, what happened? She was supposed to have the upper hand this time.

The game doesn't mention that there will be such an emergency!

"Emm..." Yukimura Seiichi pinched the tip of Ryouna's nose lightly, "Actually, I've noticed it a long time ago."

"Ryouna-senpai needs to control the color of your hair next time."

The boy stroked Ryouna's reddish-orange hair, gently lifting a lock of hair from her shoulder and placing it against her lips, placing a gentle kiss on it.

Even though hair has no tactile sensation, it still makes Ryouna's heart tremble.

"The sun is so warm," he murmured.

Just like that, the two of them huddled on the sofa quietly.

"Senior Ryouna, I like you." Seiichi Yukimura held Ryouna's face devoutly.

"Be my girlfriend, okay?"

Ryona didn't give a direct answer, but her softened body spoke volumes about her attitude.

"On the day of the sister exchange meeting, Aoi Toudou asked me a question."

"He asked. 'What kind of man do you like?'"

She paused, and Yukimura Seiichi twisted Ryouna's hair and asked, "So what kind does Ryouna like?"

"I said I like playing tennis."

The muscles of the boy beneath him were tense.

Ryona hugged Yukimura Seiichi's neck, lowered her eyelashes, pulled the corners of her mouth, and uttered slowly word by word,

"I like the invincible and high-spirited Yukimura Seiichi on the court."

She gently kissed the side of the boy's face.

The gentle voice was filled with meticulous sincerity, "I also like Yukimura Seiichi right now, who is temporarily lost due to setbacks."

"I like either one."

Ryouna's beautiful curved eyes were like a handful of clear spring water, nourishing Yukimura Seiichi's almost dried-up heart.

"So, please give me more advice in the future."

"Boy friend."

These three short words were enough to make Yukimura Seiichi dizzy, and the strength in his hands tightened unconsciously, as if he wanted to integrate Ryouna into his bones.

This time Liang Naike would not indulge him. Her cheeks flushed and she raised her hands to pat the arms that were restrained at her waist. "Idiot, loosen up a little, I can't breathe!"

"Sorry." Yukimura Seiichi obediently loosened his grip a little, "I thought I was dreaming."

What a beautiful dream, so beautiful that it seems unreal.

Ryona pinched the dreamer's left cheek again, and now the red marks on both sides were symmetrical.

"So, is this still a dream?"

"No."

"Ryouna."

"what?"

"There's one thing missing from my right cheek." He pointed to his cheek.

"......No!"

Kissing on the face and all, thinking of what she had just done, Ryona wanted to hide.

I was still too impulsive!!!

Although rejected, Yukimura Seiichi was not angry. He gently lifted Ryouna's chin and left a kiss on her blushing cheek.

A gentle touch came from her cheek, and she could clearly feel the shape of the boy's lips, which were the type that were very kissable.

The young man's purple eyes were sparkling with stars as he stared straight at Liang Nai. The deep affection in his eyes was not concealed at all, and it surged like the rising tide.

"Then, reciprocity?"

game over

This is the final round - Ryouna is dead.

The sky darkened particularly quickly today, and Yukimura Seiichi held Ryouna tightly in his arms.

"Will you come back to see me tomorrow?"

"Probably." If there is no mission.

Ryona was calculating how many missions she would have to complete when she got back when she felt a slight tingling sensation in her fingertips.

"Are you a puppy?" Ryona poked Yukimura Seiichi's forehead with her other hand, "You're not only clingy but also bite people."

"You like hugs so much?"

"I like it." He admitted frankly.

Yukimura Seiichi is not a reserved person when it comes to emotions, his goals are always clear, and for Ryouna, only honesty will get him rewards.

...As for the mission and the like, Panda Maki and the others will handle it for two days. Once she appeases Yukimura, she will go and apologize.

After daybreak, Ryouna spent the night on the accompanying bed. Yukimura Seiichi originally wanted to give up his bed, but Ryouna directly refused.

"If you give up the bed, I will leave now and will not come tomorrow."

Yukimura Seiichi immediately compromised.

Early the next morning, Genichirō Sanada came to Yukimura's ward with soup made by his mother.

Seeing that the ward door was not locked, he knocked twice politely and pushed the door open.

"Yukimura, my mother will make you a pot of—"

Sanada Genichirō's eyes widened, "Kirhara-senpai?!"
