A reversal of fortune and victory in a world hated by all girls!

Finally, she nestled steadily into his arms!

Aoi Natsuki used all her strength and pushed off the ground with her right foot, managing not to fall to the ground.

It's safe now...

Yuji Ryuzakura's gaze darted back and forth between his eyes, as if she were trying to confirm something.

"Are you... are you alright?"

"I asked, my voice trembling," said Natsuki Aoi.

Immediately, in his line of sight, the favorability rating above the girl's head began to rise rapidly.

"Favorability +5"

"Favorability +5"

"Favorability +5"

……

"Natsuki, I think my foot is injured. Could you please carry me?"

Yuji Ryuzakura smiled slightly at him.

The flickering firelight illuminated her face, and Aoi Natsuki was mesmerized by that smile... so passionate and intense.

-------

P.S.: Yuji Ryuzakura is currently nineteen years old, two and a half years older than the male lead.

Chapter 57 I'm starting to like him.

But the next second his gaze shifted downwards, landing on her raised leg.

Only then did he suddenly realize why the other party had done that.

If the other person had jumped directly from over ten meters away, whoever he landed on would have been injured. So she chose to jump onto a tree trunk by the street first to absorb some of the force before landing on him. This way, even though it was heavy, it was still within her tolerance.

only……

The force of her fall upon hitting the tree trunk would fall entirely on Longying alone...

Aoi Natsuki frowned slightly with worry, looking around anxiously. At that moment, Yusuke also squeezed in from the crowd, looking equally flustered.

"Quickly call a car, we'll take her to the hospital."

Yusuke nodded quickly.

Meanwhile, Natsuki Aoi carried Ryuzakura on her back. In an instant, an incredibly soft touch pressed against her back, but now was not the time to think about such things, and her tone was full of worry.

As Yuji Ryuzakura looked at the boy carrying her on his back, every word he uttered was one of concern for her, which made her smile even wider, as if she had forgotten the fact that her foot was injured.

Yuji Ryuzakura has been learning martial arts from her grandfather since she was a child, so she can see the aura on everyone's body. Depending on their emotions, the aura on their body will also change. She can tell at a glance if someone has ulterior motives or is up to no good. And this boy...

The image of herself on the fourth floor flashed through her mind. She had never tried such a height before. Jumping directly down could very likely injure passersby. Even if she landed directly, in the most protective way possible, injury would still be inevitable. She didn't have the same strong physique as some of her elders.

Her gaze lingered below until she saw Natsuki Aoi.

The other party's anxious eyes and state only pushed Yuji Ryusaku to his physical limits in an emergency. He then turned his gaze to a tree trunk further away and silently made a plan in his mind.

Judging from the results, it was clearly a great success.

However... it seems that the injury to his left foot is more serious.

After half an hour.

Aoi Natsuki took her to the city hospital by car. When they got out of the car, he still bent down and carried her on his back. From going to the orthopedics department to handling the subsequent admission procedures, Aoi Natsuki did everything.

This went on until 7:30 p.m. At that time, Natsuki Aoi sent a text message to Rina in the hospital room. In case such an emergency occurred, she would prepare some sushi or rice balls for Rina at home and heat them up in the microwave.

Aoi Natsuki turned her gaze back to the Fooji Ryuzakura, whose leg was already in a cast, sighed, and said, "You actually chose to only injure yourself in order not to hit the crowd. You're so stupid."

"Alright, alright, I've heard you say it eight hundred times on the way here. I'm perfectly fine now, it's just a broken toe, this is the best outcome." Yuji Ryuzakura smiled with narrowed eyes.

"On the contrary, I should thank you for bringing me to the hospital so quickly. The doctor said that if I had come any later, my condition might have been more serious. I owe you all of this."

"We're all friends, what's the big deal?" Aoi Natsuki recalled that a few days ago, when Ryuzakura met him, she said she would pay him a corresponding reward. The next day, he checked his bank card and, wow, there was 300,000 yen in his account. It really startled him, but it was fortunate that he had this money, otherwise the series of procedures today would have gone so smoothly.

After hearing this, Yuji Ryuzakura smiled knowingly at him, then picked up the basin next to the cabinet and the wet towel to continue washing the dust off her hair.

Hair can't withstand fire, so many of the ends of Ryuzakura's orange hair curled up, but she was optimistic and thought she might as well just cut it short, since long hair is not very convenient anyway.

Wanting to start a new conversation, Aoi Natsuki asked, "Ryuzakura, aren't you in school anymore? You must be older than me, right?"

"Well, I stopped going to school last year and came back to help my grandfather run the martial arts school. I should be more than two years older than you, I'm already nineteen."

"I see." Natsuki Aoi nodded to herself. No wonder she felt that Ryuzakura was completely different from the other girls she had met. Her athletic beauty was so obvious. Like last time when she was only wearing a black tank top, her abs and waistline were so defined. To be honest, Natsuki Aoi had nothing like that.

"What? You don't like me?"

Ryūzakura's sudden remark startled Natsuki Aoi.

"No, no, no! How could I possibly look down on you? You're my big sister, after all," Aoi Natsuki quickly said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yuji Ryuzakura also gave him a look of admiration.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

When the door opened, a group of men in suits appeared. The one standing in the middle was obviously much older, wearing an old-fashioned brown suit hat. He was at least 1.85 meters tall, but as soon as he walked in, he seemed like a mountain, very composed.

"grandfather!"

"Yuji Ryuzakura exclaimed in surprise."

Is he the grandfather who runs the martial arts school that Ryuzaki mentioned...?

He looks very young, with a typical square face, and exudes a particularly upright aura.

Out of the corner of her eye, Aoi Natsuki noticed the other person's empty right arm. Was it a one-armed man...?

"Ah, this is the price I paid when I was young and ignorant. Please don't take it too seriously," the middle-aged man said casually, lifting his bare right sleeve.

Natsuki Aoi quickly apologized.

But the middle-aged man waved his hand with a smile, seemingly not caring at all.

What a kind-hearted grandfather!

The middle-aged man slowly walked to the bedside, took off his hat, and placed it on the cabinet next to him: "How are you feeling? Long Ying, with this kind of injury, it might be impossible for you to participate in next month's competition."

"Well, it's alright. I've already thought it through. Maybe it would be better to let Blade go."

“Hmm, the granddaughter of the Fan family…” the middle-aged man said in a low, steady voice.

"Long Ying, is your ambition still to become the greatest martial artist in the world?"

"Yes! This has never wavered!"

"Hmm." The middle-aged man nodded, then turned to look at Aoi Natsuki, smiling slightly. "Thank you for bringing my granddaughter to the hospital. I should be the one thanking you."

He gave a wink, and the person beside him handed Aoi Natsuki a stack of envelopes that were visibly thick. This was way too much...

"If you don't accept it, you're disrespecting me." The middle-aged man lowered his voice, and the entire ward instantly became tense.

Aoi Natsuki had no choice but to accept it. Since the family members had come, he politely said goodbye and promised to visit Ryuzakura again in a couple of days.

After he left the ward, two men who had accompanied him also came out and stood guard at the door, one on each side.

Inside the ward, the middle-aged man gently held Long Ying's hand with his left hand, his smile unwavering.

"Grandpa, I've developed a crush on that boy from earlier."

"Oh? You like it, don't you? The innocent love between a boy and a girl in their early years, that's wonderful." The middle-aged man was not angry at all; on the contrary, he looked very happy.

Yuji Ryuzakura was also acting out of character at this moment. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she recalled the events of the day, and she slowly lowered her head.

Chapter 58 Welcome to My Family

……

This is the most stressful moment for Natsuki Aoi in recent times.

He sat upright at the dining table, with Lina sitting next to him, an iPad propped up in front of him, silently waiting for eight o'clock in the evening.

He had initially communicated with his parents about the matter via text message, but they had differing opinions on the issue. Ultimately, they decided to take some time to discuss it via video call.

The appointed time is approaching.

He was also preparing to make a video call to his parents.

Aoi Natsuki was undoubtedly nervous. She glanced at Rina beside her, who was also very nervous, clearly aware of the situation. She was tightly gripping the rabbit doll's ears, her little head filled with thoughts. After all, she was already eight years old and sensible. Moreover, having experienced a period of wandering, her mental age was often even older.

Aoi Natsuki raised her hand and gently stroked the back of her head, saying softly, "Don't worry, I will find a way to make you stay no matter what."

After this period of time, he had long since gotten used to having a little one in the family, and the relationship between the two quickly warmed up. It could be said that he also regarded Lina as his family.

No one would abandon their family.

only……

Aoi Natsuki's only worry came from his mother. Because of his physical condition, he believed that his mother would also dislike him, which would create a great obstacle to adoption. He was very worried about this happening.

So right now, he's actually incredibly anxious.

Eight o'clock arrived quickly, and Natsuki Aoi reached out and tapped the video call button. About twenty seconds later, the other end answered.

Aoi Natsuki looked up and saw her parents sitting on the sofa, one on each side.

Having not seen her father for several months, Aoi Natsuki noticed that his sideburns had turned a bit white. Her parents didn't seem to want to blame him; instead, they kept searching for the little girl's figure on the screen.

"Oh, Mom and Dad, this is Rina. Rina, say hello." Aoi Natsuki quickly moved the screen and turned the camera towards Rina on the side.

Lina's body trembled, but she reacted quickly by raising her hand, waving, and then picking up the prepared writing board and showing it to them.

Hello.

Lina's parents had learned about her inability to speak through text messages and had also seen her photos; she was a very cute child.

"Natsuki, Natsuki?"

"Yes, I'm here." Aoi Natsuki quickly moved the camera back, her expression becoming tense.

The father on the other end of the screen slowly took off his reading glasses, remained silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "I heard that you have a friend who helped her with the school enrollment procedures, but this is only temporary. Raising a child is very hard. Your mother and I are away from home most of the time, and if you're all alone..."
