"...Xiangzi, you eat first."
Patting Toyokawa Shoko's petite shoulder, Nakagawa Nobuyuki smiled and stuffed the lunch box in his hand into the dazed Toyokawa Shoko's hand.
Just as he reached the bedside, Nakagawa Nobuyuki picked up the thermometer gun beside him, slowly aimed it at Miss Chuhua's white jade neck exposed to the air, and gently pressed the switch.
pat.
The numbers showed up.
"Thirty-eight degrees three... not too serious."
Finally relieved, Nakagawa Nobuyuki breathed a sigh of relief and turned the towel on Miss Chuhua's head over. The sudden cool feeling made Miss Chuhua let out a cute low moan.
I have to say, Miss Chuhua is worthy of being a popular idol...
Even though she is unwell and looks a little weak at the moment, her gently wrinkled brows and slightly trembling eyelashes... and her exceptionally beautiful and peaceful face, are indeed very suitable to be the lead singer standing in the C position, right?
Poke.
"…Xin, eat first."
Turning around, I saw a smiling little blue-haired octopus picking up a piece of barbecue and bringing it to his mouth.

Chapter 280: Sleeping with Miss Chuhua...
Um... where am I... I feel dizzy...
I guess I had a fever, right? I ended up fainting on my bed in my house...
When I fainted, I may have applied the fever-reducing patch that [that person] gave me... I can't remember.
Forget it... why think about that kind of thing... the most important thing right now is to have a good rest.
Hmm... It's so comfortable, this feeling of hugging something and lying in a certain position... rubbing~
My head was so painful due to the fever before... Now I feel much better, I guess the fever has gone down.
And it smells so good… I don’t know where the smell comes from, but anyway, I feel at ease.
Why is there a rolled towel on your head? It’s so cold... How can I sleep with this... Take it off.
Is this perfect? Or should I bury myself a little deeper... It's so warm, Bingbing's head is warmed up...
What is that sound… bang bang bang, so weird… Never mind, it must be something in my dream making noise.
Good night……
…Wait, that’s not right!
In an instant, Sanjiao Chuhua suddenly opened his violet eyes wide, looked at the broad chest of "the person" whom he was holding tightly in his arms, and his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip.
How could it be, how could it be, how could it be...
Gudong!
He retreated subconsciously. Although Sanjiao Chuhua occupied most of the bed, the space was not spacious to begin with, so he still retreated to the edge of the bed trembling.
Have I... have I just been lying in [that person's] arms?
Not only was he lying in [that person’s] arms, he was actually…
No... something must be wrong, definitely...
Miss Chuhua was sitting on the floor, breathing heavily, and cold sweat instantly rolled down her forehead.
Such a loud noise certainly couldn't help but wake up Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was already a light sleeper. Similarly, on the other side, Xiangzi, who was sitting on the sofa, also jumped up quickly and sat up.
To explain why Nakagawa Nobuyuki and Hatsuka slept together, let's go back in time a little bit...
……
Bullshit.
Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was cleaning up the garbage on the table, suddenly felt a slight tugging sensation at the corner of his clothes.
Turning around, I saw Toyokawa Shoko, who seemed to want to say something, gently twisting her hair with a slightly red face, and stumblingly spoke:
"Xin...where are you going to sleep tonight?"
On the blue plaid swastika apron, the girl's fingers were unconsciously pinching a circle of small wrinkles. Perhaps the girl herself didn't know why she was so nervous.
Since... since Chuhua slept with Xin, then Xin would certainly not sleep with Chuhua...
Chuhua’s own room is out of the question… so isn’t the choice very… obvious?
Believe me, after all, you still have to sleep on my side... before it can be done, right?
Thinking of this, Toyokawa Shoko didn't even know why, but subconsciously glanced at Sanjiao Chuhua who was sleeping peacefully not far away.
...If it's really as Miss Miao Meng said, I wouldn't give up the letter so easily.
...It's me. I knew him earlier, right? It's based on first come first served or something...
"Where to sleep..."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki blinked and subconsciously looked around at the surroundings.
Sofa...?
It’s not impossible, just make do with it for now.
If it really doesn't work, can't I still sleep over at Xiangzi's place? Anyway, I can do whatever I want.
"Actually, I don't care...it just depends on whether you want to sleep with me, Xiangzi."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki thought for a moment, then spoke naturally while putting the garbage on the table into the trash can.
If we want to sleep together, then he can stay with me and help look after Chuhua... I say look after, but I feel that Miss Chuhua will be fine after a good sleep.
At that time, I can let Xiangzi sleep on the bed and watch Chuhua closely, and I can sleep on the sofa.
If they didn't sleep together, she would sleep on the sofa and let Xiangzi go back to her own room.
I feel like the second option would be more comfortable.
"Sleep, sleep for a while...oh."
Looking at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who seemed to have no hesitation at all, Toyokawa Shoko blushed and responded in a whisper.
Xin... Do you really want to sleep with me?
A few minutes later, Toyokawa Shoko hugged a thin blanket with a slightly condensed face, staring closely at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who looked apologetic in front of her.
"Sorry Xiangzi...I didn't expect the other side of the bed to be wet."
Touching his head somewhat embarrassedly, Nakagawa Nobuyuki lowered his voice and apologized to Xiangzi.
He had originally thought of letting Xiangzi sleep on the bed so that he could take care of Chuhua.
As a result, unexpectedly, the bed sheet was also soaked because it seemed that Miss Chuhua's wet clothes were placed on that half of the bed.
If this is the case... then it is really not suitable for Xiangzi to sleep here. It must be very uncomfortable for him to sleep.
However, in response to Nakagawa Nobu's suggestion that she go back to her room, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly said that she and Nakagawa Nobu would take good care of Chuhua and would not go back no matter what.
Well... there's nothing I can do. It's impossible to sleep on the cold tile floor, but I can make do with the wet sheets.
"...No, it's okay."
Toyokawa Shoko forced a smile, and her white and tender fingertips slowly sank into the soft blanket. The silent force made her fingertips even paler.
Time returns to the present.
"Anyway...it was just like that."
With a light sigh, Nakagawa Nobuyuki helplessly looked at Sanjiao Chuhua who was looking away in embarrassment.
He could understand it... After all, if a girl woke up and found herself sleeping in the same bed with someone she wasn't that familiar with... it would be normal to be startled.
But to be honest, Miss Chuhua's reaction was too exaggerated. She was really scared to the point of flying up, just like a cat scared by a cucumber.
"Well, that...I misunderstood. I'm sorry, Xin-san..."
Sanjiao Chuhua lowered his head with a slightly unnatural expression, suppressing the all too familiar feeling of panic in his heart, and apologized softly.
Even though I don’t really believe that [that person] is really so kind...but in this matter, I did receive timely help from him and Xiangzi.
No matter what, whether it was [that person’s] fever-reducing patch or him taking care of me for so long… it’s only right and proper that I should say “thank you for the trouble” and “sorry”.
"It's okay, it's okay... It's not a serious matter... But it scared me a bit."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki shook his head and turned the page lightly.
I was just having a nightmare...luckily I was woken up by Miss Chuhua.
When I was dreaming, I met a very cute big golden retriever, and I subconsciously wanted to touch it...
As a result, as soon as I approached, the big golden retriever suddenly turned into something like an octopus and wrapped itself around me tightly... I couldn't get free no matter what I did. It was so scary.
Fortunately, as Miss Chuhua was awakened by herself, the touch that was haunting her in her dream disappeared all of a sudden.
"…It's great that you've recovered, Chuhua."
Toyokawa Shoko patted her chest and seemed to be relieved.
"...Um, Chuhua, it's getting late, why don't you go back to your place and rest?"
With a slight smile, Toyokawa Shoko tilted her head and looked at Sanjiao Chuhua, who looked much better in front of her.

Chapter 281: A promise made with Xiangzi.
"Well... I'm really sorry for bothering you tonight. Thank you Xin and Xiaoxiang."
After taking a deep breath, Sanjiao Chuhua responded to Toyokawa Shoko in front of him with a slight smile, and stood up as if nothing had happened.
Although he was still panicking in his heart, after all, he had been familiar with the situation for so long that Chu Hua had already learned how to conceal such uneasiness. He was unable to adjust himself for a while just now only because the incident happened suddenly.
"No way... Now we are not only teammates, but also neighbors, right?"
Although there was still some fatigue between his brows, Nakagawa Nobuyuki still waved his hand, indicating that it was not a big deal.
"Yes Chuhua - um, can I see you off?"
Nodding and agreeing with Nakagawa Nobuyuki's words, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly stood up, gently tidied the ends of her hair, and with a slight smile, she pulled up the still dazed Miss Chuhua.
Since... since there's nothing serious going on, we should send Chuhua back to his room now, right?
"Xiao Xiang..."
Looking at Toyokawa Shoko with a gentle smile, Sankaku Hatsuhua nodded vigorously with great emotion.
Sure enough...forming a band with Xiaoxiang was a very correct choice.
Muttering this silently in his heart, Sanjiao Chuhua naturally followed his childhood sweetheart smoothly, stepped on the cold floor, and walked out of the room in small steps.
However, just before leaving the house, Sanjiao Chuhua suddenly paused for some reason and looked back subconsciously.
As for what he was looking at... Sanjiao Chuhua himself probably wasn't very clear.
But what a coincidence happened was that Nakagawa Nobuyuki was holding Miss Chuhua's cleanly washed shoes and socks, and his eyes met with Sanjiao Chuhua's at once.
"..."
Sanjiao Chuhua blinked, staring at Nakagawa Nobuyuki's gentle paulownia eyes, letting the panic feeling slowly swirl around in his heart... and the result was just as usual, his heartbeat began to speed up.
"Student Chuhua, I have washed your shoes and socks for you. They should be almost dry now."
After handing the shoes and socks in his hand to the somewhat dazed Sanjiao Chuhua, Zhonghe Xin also took the unopened lunch box on the chopping board and handed it over with a smile.
"By the way, let's thank Mr. Bento too. If he hadn't bought extra bentos, maybe Xiangzi and I wouldn't have gone to look for Chuhua-san."
Taking the rustling plastic bag, Sanjiao Chuhua pursed his lips lightly, nodded slowly, and opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to ask something, but the next second, he was naturally interrupted by Toyokawa Shoko who suddenly spoke.
"Chuhua, let's go then? We won't disturb Xin's rest for now."
Turning his head, he saw that Xiangzi's smile was still quite natural, so natural that there was not a single flaw to be seen.
