Love Healing Manual

Chapter 103 Carnivores
Japanese students do not view relationships between the sexes as a complete taboo. Since the term "puppy love" does not even exist, dating in high school is a very normal thing.

However, not every girl necessarily dates, but every girl definitely loves to gossip.

Thanks to Kaoru Murayama.

As a result, Kitagawa Ayane learned many things she didn't originally want to know, such as the distinction between the terms "carnivore" and "herbivore." Of course, these terms are not derogatory; both are neutral terms used to describe boys.

If you randomly grab a Japanese girl in class and ask her seriously, "Do you know what 'carnivores' and 'herbivores' are?" she'll definitely look at you like you're an idiot and say, "Does this even need asking? How could I not know?"

"Carnivorous" refers to someone who is obsessed with sexual matters, while "herbivorous" clearly refers to a virgin.

So, let's take an example.

If Taro Mizuno confesses his feelings to Yumi Suzuki, and Yumi Suzuki doesn't accept him right away but instead discusses the matter with other girls, then someone will definitely advise her: "Have you thought this through? Mizuno is a carnivorous guy."

That's roughly the situation.

on the contrary.

There's really nothing to say about that.

In a girl's eyes, there is no superiority or inferiority between the two; it's just a matter of personal preference. In fact, many people think that virgin boys can be very cute, and it's entirely possible that they won't like a boy if he has been with another girl.

However, some girls feel that boys who are in their first relationship are too outdated because they don't know anything and it will be tiring for them to date.

Kitagawa Ayane looked nervously into Lin Ze's eyes, hoping to get his answer.

"Is this what you usually think about?" Lin Ze looked at her with a strange expression.

"No, suddenly... I feel very confused," Kitagawa Ayane stammered.

"reason."

Lin Ze's voice was so calm as it rang in her ears.

“If I had to be frank,” Kitagawa Ayane paused, “I benefited greatly from some of the lessons Dr. Hayashi taught me last time, so I want to hear Dr. Hayashi’s opinions on many things, not just these kinds of things on my mind…”

Kitagawa Ayane seemed a little embarrassed as she spoke, and clenched her hands on her knees.

really...

Why are you asking such a silly question?

What if Lin Ze misunderstands me as a frivolous girl?

However, it's unlikely that such a connection could be made. After all, Miyagi dared to say those provocative and arrogant things, which proves that Lin Ze should be taking a normal view of such matters.

Kitagawa Ayane adjusted her tone and quickly said, "It is indeed strange that you want to ask everything. If Dr. Lin does not want to answer, you don't have to."

"If two people are mutually attracted, then so be it. Food and sex are basic human needs, and they are not taboo."

"understood."

A hint of confusion appeared in Kitagawa Ayane's eyes, then she turned her head away, lowered her face, and began to think.

Was Lin Ze really that casual about this matter?
Her Chinese is only so-so. Of course, most schools that are even slightly internationally connected require students to learn Chinese, and there is a considerable amount of Chinese content in the high school curriculum.

It's normal to know the meaning of something from another country but not its implications.

Is the saying "food and sex are human nature" true?

Kitagawa Ayane remembered what she had learned.

It means that going to bed is as common as eating.

Wow! That's ridiculously exaggerated!

She was shocked when she came to this conclusion!

As expected, Dr. Lin is a carnivore, and a very fierce one at that...

No wonder Suzuo Miyagi said that she only knew how to take and never gave, and was not worthy of liking Rinze.

Is it because I've never offered my beautiful, youthful body?

She always says she has no way to repay us, but she probably doesn't know what's good for her.

Kitagawa Ayane's mind raced, her little head filled with wild associations, her thoughts completely in disarray.

Even though Miyagi Suzuo had hurt her deeply, there was nothing she could do.

Based on Dr. Lin's current behavior, it's very likely that he has no feelings for her at all, because he has never made any similar demands or asked her to repay him in any way. He has only said that it is enough for her to be obedient and cooperate with the treatment.

So does that mean she's not even worthy of offering her beautiful body?

Kitagawa Ayane felt a deep sadness in her heart, and her eyes flickered involuntarily.

She looked down at her chest, waist, and thighs, examining every part of her body that a woman should care about.

Honestly, I'm not that bad, am I?

Even compared to her classmate Miyagi, who came from a wealthy family, she was only a little shorter and thinner.

The senior student knew that her body fat percentage was relatively high, and she couldn't think that having a larger size than the other person gave her an advantage.

"Let's run back, there's not much distance left," Lin Ze said, getting up.

Immediately afterwards, Kitagawa Ayane also stood up and followed behind him.

Lin Ze didn't directly tell her to leave the one-bedroom apartment for a few days and move to the second floor of the pork cutlet shop, because it was a sudden idea and he needed a morning to think about it.

If he moves here, he needs to consider where to place his senior.

It's convenient to carry out the mission, but my senior is a living, breathing person after all. You can't just throw her into some corner and then forget about her.

First of all, she definitely cannot live in Lin Yuning's bedroom.

Considering his aunt's personality, Lin Ze felt that doing so would be too risky, so he left only the living room and another storage room.

The storage room is also impossible, because there are too many things piled up there. It would take a whole day to clean everything up, and even if I did manage to move everything out, I wouldn't know where to put it.

This way.

Actually, letting her stay in the living room or with me would be the most suitable choice.

Lin Ze thought it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Kitagawa Ayane, to learn about her family. It would be perfect to talk about these things when it was late at night.

Given their current relationship, the senior student shouldn't be so resistant anymore.

These ideas.

The thought quickly crossed Lin Ze's mind, and he refocused his attention on his morning run.

Not long after.

The two stood under the blue road sign; it was time to part ways.

By this time, the morning sun had fully risen, shining warmly on her. Kitagawa Ayane's gray-white tracksuit was tinged with a faint gold. She was panting heavily, holding onto her knees, breathing through her mouth and nose, otherwise she felt like she couldn't catch her breath.

In a few more days.

Perhaps Tokyo is entering the season when you can breathe out warm air.

Lin Ze took the traction rope from his waist and stuffed it into his senior's arms.

"Wait for me at the west gate of the school at noon. You don't have any classes this morning, right?"

"No, I'm going to the library."

"See you at noon then."

“Bye…bye.”

Kitagawa Ayane stood still, gazing at Lin Ze's figure as he walked unhesitatingly up the high slope of the road, until he gradually slumped down in the sunlight.

She brushed a strand of hair from her forehead.

Whether they are a good match or not... it's definitely not up to one person to decide, right?

...A busy and fulfilling morning has passed.

Kitagawa Ayane and Lin Ze were on different campuses, each doing their own thing.

Inside the library.

Kitagawa Ayane put on her headphones, plugged them into her laptop, and started watching the video tutorials on how to use the software proficiently. She was so engrossed in learning that she didn't even notice the passage of time.

I wrote a lot of notes, and before I knew it, one page was full and I turned to another.

suddenly.

Perhaps we shouldn't use the word "suddenly." Change is a gradual process, from concepts to behaviors, and then to the evolution of habits.

Kitagawa Ayane gradually began to realize that the world was actually full of kindness; it wasn't good because, given the injustices she had suffered, it was difficult to sincerely praise the world. Yet, even the smallest, warm change filled her with immense gratitude.

Perhaps it all started when I met Lin Ze.

Life took a different direction.

Even if it's just to learn the relevant knowledge quickly to repay Nao-kun who cares about her from time to time, she should try her best.

Sunlight streamed in through the library window.

If you take too long to write in your notes, and only turn the page once it's completely full, the paper will get scorching from the sun.

On the other side of the affiliated hospital, Lin Ze was seeing patients in the consultation room of the gastroenterology department.

Friday wasn't particularly busy overall, and Suzuo only took one day off, so she came today too.

So everyone was quite relaxed in the morning. Director Niijima didn't come; he must have been called to a meeting again. So he handed over all the department's tasks to Dr. Tomura.

free time.

Dr. Hucun specially got a cup of coffee and asked Lin Ze and the others if they needed it. Lin Ze doesn't usually drink coffee; he only drinks tea occasionally when he needs to stay awake.

Suzuo Miyagi wholeheartedly agreed with this point.

To put it bluntly, Miyagi has been studying the tea ceremony since childhood and is particularly proficient in it. This is mainly because her mother, Miyagi, is a passionate tea ceremony enthusiast, and further back, she is related to Suzuo's maternal grandfather.

Tea culture is truly a culture rich in connotation.

She secretly made a mental note of this, hoping that one day in the future she could surprise Lin Ze with her superb tea ceremony skills.

When there are few patients.

Seeing Lin Ze's group discussing the speech, Hu Cun, who was drinking coffee, asked a few questions out of curiosity before realizing that it was the annual in-house speech.

He didn't care much about these things anymore, because he was already a shoo-in for the position of the first assistant, and serving the director well was Hu Cun's top priority.

Speaking of speeches, I remember when I was an intern there, especially since the University of Tokyo takes them quite seriously.

"So it's also related to the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Medicine? It's not just a simple lecture within the hospital," Lin Ze asked.

"Yes, in theory, almost all the famous professors in the college will be present. This is a rare opportunity to see them. It's not that the lecture is particularly valuable, but rather that it serves as an encouragement and a way to show respect for the younger generation."

"understood."

"Keep it up. If someone in your group can give a presentation and get the attention of the bigwigs in the department, they might get into the 'early admission' program."

"Early admission?"

Upon hearing this unfamiliar term, Lin Ze, Miyagi Suzuo, and Chizuru exchanged bewildered glances.

However, Dr. Tomura just smiled and turned his chair around.

Before we knew it, it was noon.

In the department.

The doctors had all gone home, but the interns stayed a little longer. Lin Ze and the others tidied up their files before heading out for lunch.

Because Miyagi Suzuo had been watching Lin Ze's actions, she noticed that he was about to leave after he finished.

She hurriedly spoke up.

"It's already noon before we knew it. Lin Zejun, are you going to the cafeteria for lunch?"

"No, what's wrong?"

In the department, Lin Ze, who had just taken off his white coat and put it on the hook, heard Ling Xu's voice and turned around.

"It's nothing," Miyagi Suzuo said softly, still wearing her white lab coat, her chestnut hair cascading down her shoulders. A faint smile graced her beautiful face. "I was just thinking, when can our group have a get-together? Just imagining that scene would be quite interesting, wouldn't it?"

“Yeah, other groups often have get-togethers. I heard Mizuno and the others went to eat barbecue last time, and the prices were really reasonable.” Sano Chizuru was crumpling up some scraps of paper on the table and throwing them into the wastebasket when she heard their discussion and chimed in at the right moment.

Miyagi Suzuo was very pleased with this agreement and secretly wanted to give Chizuru a thumbs up.

It has to be said that Lin Ze had a great eye for choosing Qianhe; her emotional intelligence is absolutely top-notch.

If you chose an enemy like Akiko Matsuzaka, the group wouldn't have such a great atmosphere.

"Do they all have get-togethers?" Lin Ze asked after a moment's thought.

“Mostly.”

"Then let's find some time in a few days to have a meal together."

"Another day? How about lunch today? Let's go to the cafeteria together. I went with you guys last time, and it was quite lively!" Miyagi Suzuo's eyes shone with hope.

That day, when they were discussing Nishimiya Shinki, she ate in the cafeteria with Lin Ze and some of her classmates, such as Yamazaki Yuu. It was quite a nice experience.

It was lively, cheerful, and warm, and it made her feel like she had become a part of Lin Ze's life.

Yes, integrate into his life, rather than being a bystander.

That feeling was very special to Miyagi Suzuo and unforgettable.

"I have something to do at noon today, never mind." Lin Ze refused decisively, nodded to his two team members, and said, "I'm leaving now."

but.

Just as Lin Ze opened the door and walked into the corridor.

Miyagi Suzuo, whose face had been lowered, suddenly lifted her head, feeling quite distressed.

A gentle voice echoed in the department.

"Are you going to have dinner with the senior from that day?" She stared at Lin Ze's figure.

But after saying those words, I regretted it.

"Yes, she's waiting for me, so the dinner party has to be rescheduled."

Lin Ze turned around and gave Miyagi Suzuo and Chizuru an apologetic look.

Earning points is undoubtedly the most important thing in his mind.

Besides, gatherings for meals are optional.

With that in mind, Lin Ze walked out of the affiliated hospital building without hesitation and headed towards the west gate of the University of Tokyo.

……

In the department.

Miyagi Suzuo sat down listlessly and took a deep breath.

Even though they knew Lin Ze was acting this way because of amnesia.

This is not his fault.

But why does she feel so sad inside...?
