Love Healing Manual

Chapter 129 has only one sentence.

"Then it's time for us to take our leave." Miyagi Suzuo looked at Lin Ze in front of her and said this with great reluctance. She forced a smile, but the corners of her mouth quickly turned down.

It's already afternoon.

Today, she talked and spent more time with Lin Ze than she had in the previous few months combined. Thanks to Sano Chizuru's help, the atmosphere was generally harmonious, preventing her from feeling too reserved or shy.

Although they mostly talked about academic matters, Suzuo Miyagi was already very satisfied.

Before they knew it, it was time to leave, and she and Chizuru Sano were already standing at the door.

"Thank you for your hospitality, team leader. The food was delicious. I'll definitely come back again next time." Sano Chizuru peeked out from behind Suzuo and said with a playful smile.

"You're welcome next time too," Lin Ze said, bowing his head to change his shoes and lifting his face. "I'll see you off."

"Huh? Won't this keep taking up more of Lin Zejun's time?"

"It's alright, I'll take it downstairs. It's only right to show courtesy to our guests."

"Okay, let's go down together."

After a while.

In front of Lin's Fried Pork Chop Shop, in front of the clean glass door.

Miyagi Suzuo and Sano Chizuru waved goodbye to Hayashi Sawa, ending what she felt was a "fleeting" afternoon.

The sunlight slanted down onto her shoulders.

Miyagi Suzuo carried a black schoolbag, its small, delicate ornaments swaying slightly. She watched Lin Ze walk into the store and disappear from sight, and even after she had taken a step, she kept looking back.

Time flies.

Although she had been looking for Lin Ze since noon, more than three hours had passed, but it felt incredibly short. In a daze, their time together had already ended.

Until she could no longer turn her head to look, and it was time to turn the corner, the sign of Lin's Fried Pork Cutlet Shop was obscured by the streetlight at the corner in Miyagi Suzuo's sight, and this last bit of something she cherished disappeared.

Her shoulders slumped instantly, and her cheeks drooped slightly.

Sano Chizuru saw all of this and couldn't help but sigh inwardly that Miyagi Suzuo was such an outstanding person, yet she was such a devoted one.

In fact.

Miyagi Suzuo had been restraining her emotions. Because of the promise she made to Lin Ze, she knew that if she couldn't control herself from touching him, she would suffer an even crueler fate. But after all, she was a flesh-and-blood creature, and she was just a fragile girl.

There were many times when she could hardly control her longing for Lin Ze.

Just as she was about to reach out, she remembered the consequences of doing so.

If things continue like this, then so be it.

Unfortunately, this annoying senior student barged in, disrupting the tranquility of her life and leaving her with a choice: either watch Lin Ze be taken away or take the initiative to assert her claim to him.

There is nothing we can do about it.

Then, Miyagi Suzuo found that the closer she got to Lin Ze, the less she could control her emotions. She was reliving the warm feeling from her high school days that made her smile when she thought about it, and her original self-control became even more difficult.

This is a young girl's humble secret.

Sano Chizuru noticed that Miyagi Suzuo was in low spirits, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Anyone could see that Miyagi-san had feelings for Rinze. However, the two of them left just like that, while another senior, Kitagawa, insisted on spending all her time with Rinze.

She felt that Miyagi was also struggling with this issue.

After all, who would want their crush to live with another woman?

Although Sano Chizuru trusted Rinze's character, and since he said they were just friends, she wouldn't do anything inappropriate, it's normal for Miyagi to be sad.

After some hesitation.

Sano Chizuru hesitated for a moment before telling a white lie, but then she couldn't help but say, "Suzuo, I have some good news to tell you!"

"Hmm?" Miyagi Suzuo forced herself to stay awake and lifted her face. "What good news?"

"Didn't you and Kitagawa-senpai go to the supermarket to buy groceries? I was chatting with Lin Ze in the kitchen, and we ended up talking about the two of you."

"Me and Kitagawa-senpai?" She raised an eyebrow.

“Yeah, I was asking Lin Ze if he thought Kitagawa-senpai was pretty. Miyagi-kun might be wondering why I asked that. Actually, it’s because when I see pretty girls, I subconsciously compare myself to them. It’s probably because I have a little bit of an inferiority complex.” Sano Chizuru didn’t hide her weakness at all.

She was self-aware and knew she was not a pretty girl, so she openly admitted that she cared about that.

The first way to comfort someone is always to sincerely open up about yourself.

"What did Lin Ze say to you?" Miyagi Suzuo asked curiously, blinking her beautiful eyes.

He said that Ayane Kitagawa is pretty.

"Hmph." Miyagi Suzuo squeezed out two sounds from her throat, immediately showing her dissatisfaction, and her original interest disappeared.

however.

Next, Chizuru piqued her curiosity once again.

Then I asked, "Lin Ze, do you think Miyagi is pretty?"

"Me?" Miyagi Suzuo was taken aback. "What did he say?"

"Well..."

"Oh, Chizuru-san, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me, okay?"

He said the palace is also very beautiful.

"Really? Okay... alright."

Upon hearing this, Miyagi Suzuo couldn't help but purse her lips. Although she didn't want to show any shyness, the pride in her eyes betrayed her inner satisfaction.

"That's not all. Then I'll ask, who's prettier, Kitagawa Ayane-senpai or Miyagi-san?" Sano Chizuru winked mischievously.

"Huh? Chizuru, you really asked that?"

"I did ask, I'd be a dog if I lied to you."

"What did Lin Ze say?"

For a moment, Miyagi Suzuo couldn't help but feel anxious, looking at her expectantly, hoping to hear Lin Ze's answer.

"I'd feel bad for Lin Ze if I told him, since he told the truth. Would I be seen as a snitch?"

"Chizuru~ Oh, please tell me, I'll pretend I don't know. I'm going to have to wait until I hear the answer, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Miyagi-kun won't be able to sleep, will she?" Sano Chizuru chuckled, seemingly finding it particularly amusing.

"Chizuru-san was forced to tell me, so even if she does, it won't be her fault. Just tell me~" Miyagi Suzuo hugged her arm, her eyes full of anticipation.

"You like Lin Ze, right?"

“I…” Miyagi Suzuo blushed, thought for a moment, and then looked away as she said, “Of course I like him very much.”

"I'm sure this answer will satisfy Miyagi-san. Lin Ze said that 'Miyagi-san is even more elegant and charming.'"

"real or fake!"

Just for a moment.

Miyagi Suzuo's mind began to waver.

Seeing her absent-minded look, Sano Chizuru felt a little guilty for telling a white lie, but this comforted her.

However, this doesn't really count as lying, does it?

Although Lin Ze's original words were "Kitagawa-senpai is even cuter", doesn't that also mean that Miyagi Suzuo is even more elegant and charming?
Yes, that’s right.

Sano Chizuru pursed her lips, while being infected by Miyagi's rapidly rising joy, watching her happy expression.

Even the gods, seeing such a girl with such sincere love, would surely cast a more compassionate glance upon her.
Chizuru thought to herself.

……

"One aspect of lifestyle intervention: Meal feeding (10/20)"

"Reward issued: 3000 points"

"Current points remaining: 4000 points"

"Current remaining treatment funds: 229898 yen"

After Lin Ze returned to the second floor, the notification that the life intervention task was completed rang in his mind. It has to be said that since Kitagawa Ayane-senpai moved in, the efficiency of completing tasks has increased significantly, and Lin Ze himself has also become much more relaxed.

The successful completion of the missions earned Lin Ze a large number of points, and the amount of money needed for treatment far exceeded his previous expectations. Lin Ze actually had an even faster way to earn points. Besides Kitagawa Ayane-senpai, another patient had appeared: Nishimiya Shinki, the young lady of the Mihori Group who had attempted suicide that day.

He knew, of course, that the points he would gain from binding and treating two patients would be much greater, but after much consideration, he ultimately decided not to do so. The reason was that Lin Ze intuitively felt that Nishimiya Shinki was definitely a more troublesome woman.

Kitagawa Ayane's greatest strength is that she is well-behaved and sensible.

After all, the previous rebellion has now completely disappeared.

This is what Lin Ze values ​​most: the ability to completely control the patients.

Before long, Lin Ze and his team will be rotating to the First Department of Surgery at the University of Tokyo Hospital for their internships. Before that, Lin Ze has decided to save up a lot of points to exchange for more skills.

He truly began to distinguish himself when he entered the field of surgery, which enabled him to realize his long-held ambition.

With that thought in mind, he walked briskly to the bedroom door.

He habitually pushed the door open.

"Wait...wait a minute!"

The moment the door opened, Kitagawa-senpai's startled cry came from inside the room; she seemed to be frightened and hurriedly began to move.

Judging from the sound, it seemed like she had bumped into something; there were several loud "thumps."

When Lin Ze looked over.

Enter the eye.

There were only large swathes of white skin.

Kitagawa Ayane was using her off-the-shoulder coat to cover herself, her fair and rounded shoulders exposed to the air. Because it wasn't completely covered, her long legs were also very noticeable. At this moment, she was nervously pressing her legs together, and her delicate face was flushed.

There's no doubt she was changing clothes.

Just then, Lin Ze came in after seeing off Miyagi Suzuo and Sano Chizuru.

Lin Ze understood the reason for her scream at a glance, so he turned his gaze away, turned back and closed the door.

After Kitagawa Ayane changed her clothes, she opened the door, her cheeks still flushed, and whispered that she could come in now.

As I walked past her, our eyes did not meet directly.

It was indeed a little awkward.

But this is precisely what happens when people live together, in order to treat the inevitable consequences.

Before making this decision, Lin Ze considered all the possible scenarios and knew that there would be many inconveniences in adjusting to living together, but he felt that he could accept them all because of the lure of points.

Since you're already in direct contact while showering, other minor awkward moments don't seem so embarrassing.

It's funny.

After Lin Ze went inside, Kitagawa Ayane closed the door slightly, not daring to look up at his back, looking just as lost and helpless as a wife who had just been married into the family for the first time.

Because the air conditioning was on on the second floor, it was cold when she came back from outside, but after she finished eating and turned on the air conditioning in her room, her body temperature had already risen.

Kitagawa Ayane listened to the speech for a while, then focused on her own business.

Because she was afraid that Lin Ze would come in and see her changing clothes inside, she hadn't changed. Actually, it wouldn't matter if he did see her, but she didn't want Miyagi Suzuo to see her either, and then he would gossip and say that she was obviously trying to seduce him.

How could a rich girl understand the life of a poor student?

If Ayane Kitagawa really had that many clothes to change into, she wouldn't be wearing denim shorts in the approaching winter season.

She didn't want to explain anything, so she didn't care what others said about her.

After finally waiting for the two to leave, she went to change her clothes, but when she went to the living room to check, no one was there.

As it happened, Lin Ze returned and witnessed this scene.

Fortunately, she didn't plan to change her panties and bra, so there was still some fabric to cover her.

Seeing Lin Ze sit back down at his desk with a sigh of relief, Kitagawa Ayane asked softly, "They're gone?"

"gone."

"I also heard the speech in the living room just now. I must say, Miyagi's English is very fluent and sounds very professional. He also has a good sense of emphasis and intonation."

"Yes, she's well-educated and has a good image, which is why I chose her to go on stage," Lin Ze explained.

"Well, actually..."

Kitagawa Ayane scratched her head, her gaze involuntarily drifting to her schoolbag, which contained the trophy she had won in the speech contest.

Lin Ze knew about her speech beforehand, and the two had their first disagreement because of it.

Now, she really wants to say that her efforts have not been in vain.

You could say that Lin Ze is the closest person to her right now... Compared to her good friend Murayama Kaoru, this affection is no less, so Kitagawa Ayane wants to share this happiness.

"I won third prize in the speech contest last time," she said cautiously.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted you to praise me." Kitagawa Ayane moved to her backpack, unzipped it, took out the trophy, and placed it on the table.

She stood with her hands behind her back, her big eyes looking at Lin Ze expectantly.

Those beautiful eyes seemed to speak volumes.

Lin Ze looked at the palm-sized trophy, which read "Economic Seminar Speech Competition" and had the words "Third Prize" engraved on the base.

He raised his face and looked at Kitagawa Ayane's expectant expression.

"You mean you want to teach Miyagi-kun some public speaking skills?"

“No, no, no,” Kitagawa Ayane quickly shook her head, pointing to the trophy: “You think that winning this award… is actually not bad?”

"Oh~" Lin Ze immediately understood what the little pet was trying to say.

He looked away, opened his laptop, and began preparing his own things, setting out his study materials.

But Kitagawa Ayane just stood there.

Lin Ze picked up his pen, showing no intention of saying anything, which Kitagawa Ayane noticed.

At first, she was hopeful, but then her eyes narrowed and she pouted in dissatisfaction.

Speaking of understanding, don't pets understand their owners just as well?

She was certain that Lin Ze understood what she meant.

"You deliberately."

"what?"

"You're deliberately not praising me." She pushed Lin Ze's arm.

"I need to study."

"After praising you, I'll let you study. Just one sentence. I even brought the trophy here. Just give me one compliment, okay... Master?"

Don't you have anything to do?

"I beg you."

No matter how much Kitagawa Ayane tried to coax him in a soft, sweet tone, Lin Ze ignored her. However, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his lips on his calm face.

indeed.

He did it intentionally.

Too much praise isn't good either; some people can easily become arrogant.

after awhile.

Just when Lin Ze thought Kitagawa Ayane was finally going to stop, a figure suddenly lifted his arm, crouched down, and crawled into the gap between his legs.

She darted out of Lin Ze's arms. In such a close proximity, there was inevitably some physical contact, and strands of her hair fell onto his shoulder.

A gaze exchanged from a mere foot away.

"Just one sentence." Kitagawa Ayane bit her lip, suppressing the shyness and anticipation on her face as she looked at him, revealing her true, innocent and naive nature.

Very cute.
