She has no intention of getting involved in Aki Tomoya's situation anymore. If Kasumigaoka Utaha is still willing, then so be it; let her get entangled with Tomoya's cousin and junior. But as for Yuta...

Yuta Kijima paused for a moment. From the moment Eriri climbed out of Tomoya's house, he realized that Eriri had become estranged from everyone in the club, or rather, from the club's creator, Tomoya Aki.

He immediately smiled and said, "How could that be? Kashiwagi Eri-sensei is the best in the world, okay?"

Chapter 186 Little Lily's Secret Joy

Upon hearing the name Kashiwagi Eri, Eriri blushed, bit her pink lips, turned her pretty face away, and snorted softly, "Even if Yuta says that, I won't stop drawing your doujinshi!"

Yuta Kijima drew a black line on his forehead. "Can you please not say such a downer?"

Seeing that Yuta Kijima had fallen silent, Eriri was in a very good mood. Even the pain in her lower abdomen had lessened considerably. Gradually, her arms started to ache from holding on. She glanced at Yuta Kijima beneath her, her eyes sparkling, and slowly lay down.

Feeling the warm breath behind his ear, Yuta Kijima paused for a moment, then continued walking forward.

It's even flatter than I imagined.

……

And so, Yuta Kijima carried Eriri to a ramen shop that looked pretty good. Once inside, they saw only a few customers, with just one middle-aged man busy at the counter.

After all that delay, the midday rush hour had already passed.

Upon seeing a handsome young man carrying a girl into the store, the uncle immediately greeted him warmly: "Hey! Young man, what would you and your girlfriend like to eat?"

"stare--"

Eriri immediately blushed. It was all because she felt so safe and secure lying on Yuta's back that she forgot to remind him to put her down before entering the store.

"Yuta, put me down!"

Eriri whispered in Yuta Kijima's ear, her face burning.

How did I become Yuta's girlfriend...?

Just as Yuta Kijima was about to explain to the uncle, he felt an itch behind his ear, so he immediately carried Eriri on his back to the edge of the table and put her down.

He touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. Eriri was light and agile, and he didn't feel much pressure carrying her. He had also forgotten about this.

"Would you like something to eat, young man?" Seeing the shy look on the handsome young man and beautiful young woman, the uncle was reminded of his lost youth. He recalled how they were just as shy when he first went on a date with Huizi. He then handed her a hot towel and barley tea.

"Two bowls of tonkotsu ramen, both with chashu."

Yuta Kijima said, "There's no point in explaining now, let's order first."

"Okay." The uncle replied with a smile and started cooking noodles. Looking at the young couple, he felt younger himself.

Back with Eriri, she still looked like a frightened deer, turning her head away and not daring to look at Yuta Kijima.

Eriri was also startled by the shopkeeper's words, after all, she always felt that Megumi was the one who was closest to Yuta, and if Yuta got angry because of this...

So right now, she has a mix of emotions, but mainly she feels awkward.

"Eriri." Yuta Kijima sat down and asked with concern, "Are you feeling better now?"

"Huh?" Eriri blinked and raised her voice, "No...it's nothing, I feel much better."

Yuta Kijima nodded.

Neither of them mentioned what the store manager had just said.

Soon, the shop owner brought over two bowls of ramen, each brimming with food. He kindly placed the ramen in front of them and said with a smile, "Please enjoy!"

Although he didn't say anything, Eriri felt that his smile was strange. Then, thinking back to what he said when she first entered the store, she immediately buried her head in her ramen and started eating.

Yuta Kijima looked at Eriri in surprise. This child must be starving.

……

"call……"

Unexpectedly, the ramen shop I randomly picked turned out to be surprisingly good. Although it couldn't compare to my own cooking skills, Kijima Yuta isn't a picky eater.

She straightened up and looked at Eriri.

Although there was still a little food left in the bowl, judging from her usual appetite, she was indeed very hungry today.

"Have you finished eating, Eriri?"

"Mmm." Eriri let out a long sigh of relief, looking quite content, and touched her lower abdomen. "I've finally regained some of my energy."

Seeing this, Yuta Kijima took her away.

"Young man, your girlfriend is a perfect match for you! Welcome to visit again!" the uncle said with a smile as he saw you off, adding a special bonus.

"Uh……"

Upon hearing this, Yuta Kijima almost tripped over the threshold of the shop. He glanced back at the shopkeeper with a speechless expression, but seeing his sincere smile, he couldn't bring himself to say anything.

Eriri weakly pushed Yuta Kijima in front of her with her hands, her face flushed with embarrassment as she tried to speed up and escape from there.

A hot wind blew by.

The comfortable temperature inside the store vanished instantly, and even Eriri, who was still recovering from a serious illness, had tiny beads of sweat on her smooth forehead.

Seeing this, Yuta Kijima said, "Then I'll take Eriri home first, since you're not fully recovered yet."

Eriri bit her lower lip and nodded gently: "Okay."

Eriri's house is quite close to Aki Tomoya's house, and the main reason for meeting at the station this morning was that she didn't want to go to Tomoya's house alone.

The two soon arrived at the gate of Eriri's mansion.

"Nariri, you should get some rest after you get home," Yuta Kijima said.

"..."

Eriri opened her mouth, wanting to invite him into her house to rest, but then she thought of her mother at home. If she saw that she had gone to Tomoya's house for a club activity today, but ended up being taken home by Yuta, she would definitely ask all sorts of questions.

"Okay, thank you so much, Yuta."

Yuta Kijima grinned, waving his hand. "Eri has said this many times today." Then he turned and left.

Eriri watched him disappear from sight, murmuring, "If it weren't for you today... I really don't know how awkward I would have been at Tomoya's house... What's the point of these few words of thanks..."

I don't know how I can ever repay Yuta.

Sawamura Sayuri, who was sitting in the living room watching TV, looked at Eriri who walked in from outside. Noticing that she was not in a good mood, she got up and went to her side to ask with concern, "Eriri, what's wrong?"

Eriri frowned and whispered, "She got her period today..."

Upon hearing this, Sayuri Sawamura helped her to sit down on the sofa, poured her a glass of hot water, and then sat down beside her, gently stroking Eriri's hair. "Why didn't you stay at Tomoya's place a little longer? You're back at this hour. You should have called your mother earlier, and she would have called a car to pick you up."

"Who would stay at Tomoya's place?!" Eriri said angrily, showing her little fangs.

Sawamura Sayuri was taken aback, a little surprised (secretly pleased), and deliberately asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you say last time that you didn't want to talk to Tomoya? Why are you so angry now? Did something happen there?"

Yinglili: "..."

Seeing her daughter's silence, Sawamura Sayuri blinked and looked at her curiously: "You and Tomoya have completely broken up?"

Chapter 187 When Will the Accident Happen?

Eriri looked at Sayuri Sawamura, unsure how to describe what had happened at Tomoya's house that morning, so she simply lay down on Sayuri's lap in silence.

Little Lily stroked her daughter's golden hair, thought for a moment, and asked, "What's wrong? Did something unpleasant happen?"

Eriri's gaze shifted slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, she slowly recounted what had happened that day to Sayuri.

……

After saying that, she buried her head in Sayuri's arms. Looking back now, she realized how stupid she was to have done something so rude to her cute junior.

"What should I do, Mom... I didn't want to be angry at first, but from the moment I walked in and saw Tomoya's cousin, I felt like I was making a fool of myself. Then he kept annoyingly recommending his juniors' doujinshi to me, and I just couldn't hold back and lost my temper..."

"At that time, I was thinking that I had been painting for so long, but in the end, Renya would only come to me when he needed help. After the work was finished, he would not even ask about me. He treated me like some kind of tool."

"And that cute junior's talent is really strong... ugh... so embarrassing..."

Sawamura Sayuri listened quietly to her daughter's story, but when she looked down at Eriri, she didn't see any regret in her eyes. She gently stroked her daughter's head and said, "Eriri, you only regretted it because Yuta-kun was there, right?"

"What!" Eriri sat up straight from Sayuri's arms and hurriedly said to her, "Mom! What are you saying!?"

Looking into her mother's smiling eyes, she immediately knew that this was another of her mother's wicked jokes.

Eriri climbed back onto her lap, pouted, and said in a nonchalant tone, "I already told you that Yuta already has a girl by his side, so please stop trying to play matchmaker, Mom!"

"Clicking randomly?"

Sayuri stretched out her slender, jade-like hand and gently massaged Eriri's cheek. "Eriri, don't you think you and Yuta are a perfect match? If you two really get together in the future, you can not only draw and play games together, but he can also cook for you every day..."

"What?!" Eriri slapped the hand away from her cheek, her face slightly flushed. "I can handle things between Yuta and me myself, Mom, please stop worrying about me!"

"Alright." Eriri got up from Sayuri's lap, turned around and went upstairs. "I'm going back to my room to rest."

Sawamura Sayuri looked at Eriri with a smile. Although Eriri said that, she could clearly feel the weight that Kijima Yuta held in Eriri's heart at that moment.

It seems I have to put in some effort, after all, I have high hopes for Yuta-kun.

……

Silent all night.

After yesterday's events, apart from Aki Tomoya posting some content that needed to be modified in the club group, nothing unexpected happened.

This club activity has now come to an end...

Just as Yuta Kijima was enjoying this rare moment of leisure, a phone call suddenly broke his relaxation.

"Hey, Yuzuru? How did your physical exam go today?"

He picked up his phone and looked at it, discovering it was from Nishimiya Yuzuru, whose family had gone for a check-up that day. He asked in confusion, "Logically speaking, today's check-up was just a simple one, there shouldn't be any major problems, right?"

When he answered the call, he heard some incredibly shocking information.

"what?"

"Okay! Please wait for me a moment, I'll be right there!"

After hanging up the phone, Yuta Kijima hurriedly closed the door, left the apartment building, and hailed a taxi that went directly to the hospital.

……

To Kijima Yuta's surprise, Shoko's grandmother was diagnosed with severe hypertension and was currently in the hospital discussing hospitalization.

It is said that when Grandma Shoko received the medical examination report, the doctor suggested that she be hospitalized for treatment. If it had been delayed, the consequences could have been very serious. Now, if she actively cooperates with the doctor's treatment, she can still try to maintain her condition, but the possibility of a full recovery is slim.

After urging the driver along the way, when Yuta Kijima arrived at the hospital, Yaeko Nishimiya had already completed the admission procedures for her grandmother.
