"Teacher Tonight, it's time to get up." Early in the morning, Chun called softly in my ear.

I vaguely felt a voice coming from my ears. It was a warm and familiar call, like a morning bell that was distant yet close, penetrating my sleeping consciousness.

My eyelids were heavy, as if glued by deep sleepiness, but that persistent call was like water dripping through a stone, eroding my dreams bit by bit.

Gradually, the calling voice became clearer and clearer, and I felt my consciousness slowly returning. I slowly opened my eyes, and what came into view was Chun's concerned face.

"Did Teacher Jinye have a nightmare?" Tsubaki looked at me and asked worriedly. She sighed, "I really can't do anything about the frail Teacher Jinye."

"It's not a nightmare, I just slept a little deeply..." I defended myself, and when my voice came out of my throat, I was startled.

Because it was too scratchy - like the sound of fingernails grinding on sandpaper.

Tsubaki didn't seem to notice my abnormality. Her frown gradually relaxed and a smile reappeared on her face: "That's good, Teacher Jinye. We still have to continue writing today."

I touched my throat and felt it was a little dry. I couldn't help but clear my throat and tried to find my voice: "Yes... can't stop."

I struggled to sit up and felt my body was heavy, as if it was bound by an invisible force.

However, just as I was about to get out of bed, Chun suddenly came over and gently pushed me back onto the bed.

"I was just joking with Teacher Jinye just now." Tsubaki's tone suddenly became serious, "Since Teacher Jinye is sick, you should rest well and don't move around."

"I..." Under Tsubaki's stern gaze, I swallowed back what I wanted to say, and instead compromised with Tsubaki, "I understand..."

When Chun saw that I agreed, a smile appeared on her face again, as bright as the spring sunshine.

"I'll pour you a glass of water." Then she walked towards the kitchen.

After a while, Chun came in with a cup of warm water and some of her favorite pears.

She placed it carefully on the bedside table, then helped me up and let me lean against the headboard.

"Drink some water first to moisten your throat." Chun said, handing the cup of water to me.

I took the cup and took a sip. The warm water slid down my throat, bringing a comfortable feeling.

Just as he put down the water cup, his hands were filled with peeled pears by Chun.

I didn't even see how she peeled the pear with the fruit knife. In my peripheral vision while drinking water, I just saw her casually making a few cuts, and the pear skin fell off the pear completely like a long dragon.

"Eat quickly, Teacher Jinye." Tsubaki urged with a smile.

I took a bite of the pear in my hand, and the sweet juice instantly overflowed in my mouth, like a stream of clear water moistening my dry throat.

So sweet.

Tsubaki understood what I didn't say.

"As long as you like it, Teacher Jinye," she said.

Then, I felt something heavy on my body. It was a quilt. Chun gently covered me with the quilt. She tucked the corners of the quilt carefully to make sure I would not catch a cold.

"Have a good rest, I'll be here with you." Chun said softly.

I closed my eyes and fell into sleep again peacefully.

This time, my dream was calm and peaceful. There were no weird nightmares or chaotic scenes. I just fell into a deep and simple sleep.

When I woke up, the sun had already set outside the window, and the room was dyed golden. At this moment, I was the only one left in the room.

I propped up my exhausted body and sat up. Although I still felt a little weak, my soul found an indescribable peace.

I touched my forehead and it was cool and calm, with no sign of fever. I looked around and saw the water cup and the peeled pear on the bedside table, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart.

Perhaps, the weakness and discomfort before were just my momentary imagination, but now, everything is getting better under Chun's careful care.

As if she heard me getting up, there was a sound from the kitchen. Soon, Chun, who was busy in the kitchen, poked her head out. When she saw me waking up, a warm smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Teacher, you're awake tonight! How do you feel?" As she said this, she took off her apron and walked quickly to my bed.

"I'm much better, thank you, Chun." I looked at her sincerely, my heart full of gratitude.

"That's good. I prepared some light porridge for you. Would you like to have some?" Chun asked softly.

I nodded and watched her turn and walk towards the kitchen. After a while, she brought in a bowl of steaming porridge.

I took the porridge and felt the heat coming from the edge of the bowl. It seemed... a little hot.

Chun immediately noticed my hesitation and discomfort. She gently took the bowl back from my hand with an apologetic smile on her face.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that the porridge is just cooked and is still a little hot." She said softly, her voice full of apology and concern.

Then, she blew gently on the porridge, her lips slightly opened, aiming at the surface of the porridge, and carefully sent out gentle streams of air.

She controlled the strength of the airflow, fearing that if the force was too strong, the porridge would splash everywhere, and if the force was too weak, it would not have the effect of cooling down the food.

As she blew, the heat from the porridge was slowly dissipated, and a faint rice fragrance gradually filled the air.

Her eyes were fixed on the porridge, her expression focused and serious, as if she was treating a precious work of art.

During this process, her face was slightly reddened by the heat of the porridge, adding a bit of charm and cuteness.

She adjusted the angle and strength of her blowing from time to time to ensure that the temperature of the porridge could be lowered evenly.

"It's done." Finally, Chun stopped blowing. She gently touched the edge of the bowl to make sure the porridge was at the right temperature.

"I don't want to drink it anymore, there's Chun's saliva in the porridge." I don't know why, but I said this. As soon as I said it, I regretted it, afraid that she would misunderstand my joke.

After hearing this, Chun was stunned at first, and then a slight blush appeared on her face, like the sunset glow, adding a bit of beauty to her pretty face.

"How about I get a new bowl for Teacher Jinye?" she asked cautiously, with a hint of uneasiness and apology in her voice.

It is rare to see Tsubaki in this state.

It seems that because of my illness, she has become weak...

Seeing her timid look, an inexplicable emotion welled up in my heart, so I said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Just this bowl, but I want you to feed me..."

Chapter 175: Four Countries Journey (Part )

"Don't call me an idiot, Hideyuki-kun. Only an idiot can fail an idiot in an exam."

"Only an idiot would forget to plug it in."

“Only a fool can fail a fool in an exam.”

"Only a fool would forget to plug it in."

The two quarreled like children.

In the end, all these words turned into two short words - idiot.

Nishii Satomi pouted and glared at him like a kitten whose tail was stepped on. "I'm not stupid! I was just a little absent-minded!"

Watanabe Hideyuki smiled and ruffled her hair, his eyes full of fondness.

"Yes, yes, you are not stupid. My stupid Rimi is the smartest and most powerful. Now hurry up and plug in the cable, otherwise we can only sleep with the game card in our arms tonight~"

Nishii Rimi muttered, "You didn't tell me this on purpose," but still obediently connected the wires.

Soon, images began to flash on the TV screen.

Since the game cassette box was placed on Nishii Satomi's side, she naturally chose the game she was best at playing - [Squirrel Wars]

Although Watanabe Hideyuki has never played this game, he still knows the simple operations.

After entering the game interface.

Nishii Satomi's squirrel rushed to the front impatiently, while Watanabe Hideyuki chose a steady strategy and deliberately kept a certain distance.

Just when Nishii Satomi was caught off guard, Watanabe Hideyuki's squirrel quickly lifted a heavy box and smashed it accurately at Nishii Satomi's squirrel, causing it to feel dizzy on the screen.

However, this was just the beginning. Nishii Satomi reacted quickly, controlled her squirrel to run to Watanabe Hideyuki's squirrel, picked it up, and strode forward.

Watanabe Hideyuki found that his squirrel was firmly controlled by the other party and could not move, and his brows could not help but frown slightly.

What kind of bullshit game is this?

When they came to an area full of cacti, Nishii Satomi smiled slyly and threw Watanabe Hideyuki's squirrel hard at the sharp cacti.

Watanabe Hideyuki's squirrel was immediately covered in blood, but at the same time it also broke free from Nishii Satomi's control.

He quickly learned a lesson from this encounter, picked up a box and threw it at Nishii Satomi.

However, this trick doesn't seem to work for Nishii Satomi.

She was well prepared and nimbly hid in a box, easily defusing Watanabe Hideyuki's attack.

The game enters the next stage, which requires climbing a telephone pole.

The two began a fierce "squirrel throwing war", each trying to throw the other's squirrel directly off the telephone pole.

However, the battle was not one-sided, as both sides demonstrated great skills and strategy.

When they found that neither of them could defeat the other easily, they began to change their strategies and tried to speed up as much as possible, because once they fell behind and fell out of the game screen, they would face the penalty of blood deduction.

This game seemed to be a contest of strategies and tactics. They used these tactics to the fullest in the game, including killing someone with a borrowed knife, robbing someone in a fire, watching a fire from the other side of the river, running away, turning the tables, and pulling the ladder out after climbing up the roof. Except for the beauty trap, they used almost all the thirty-six strategies.

She threw the game controller aside and smiled triumphantly: "Haha, Hideyuki-kun, it looks like I won this time!"

Watanabe Hideyuki looked at Nishii Satomi's smug look and couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, you won. You are awesome this time."

Nishii Satomi stood up and stretched, as if she wanted to spread the joy of victory to every cell in her body: "Do you want to play another game? I'll give you a chance to turn the tables?"

Watanabe Hideyuki shook his head and stood up: "Forget it, let's stop here for today. You won, I'll let you be proud for a while."

"Hmph, you're sensible." Nishii Rimi snorted complacently. She checked the time and turned to the kitchen. "I won the game, so I have to make myself some delicious food to reward myself."

"Do you need my help?" asked Watanabe Hideyuki.

"Oh, you are the loser today, so just sit back and enjoy the treatment of a loser." Nishii Satomi responded jokingly, waving her hand to indicate that it was not necessary.

Watanabe Hideyuki looked at her departing back and smiled helplessly.

During the time that Nishii Satomi was away, Watanabe Hideyuki looked around the room carefully.

The setting sun slowly sank, and the sky was dyed a golden red. The soft and warm afterglow, like flowing golden liquid, quietly seeped into the room through the narrow gap in the window.

The light danced and diffused in the air, gently covering every corner of the room. The walls, furniture, floor, and even the tiniest dust in the room were gently wrapped in this golden light, as if they were coated with a thin layer of gold.
