Ayumi ran after the football, but perhaps she ran too fast, or perhaps she stepped on some protruding stone, Ayumi's body suddenly leaned forward, and in an instant, she fell heavily to the ground.

"Ayumi——"

"Ayumi, are you okay?"

Genta and Mitsuhiko, who witnessed the tragedy but were unable to stop it, hurried over. Watanabe Toru naturally could not ignore it. The three of them helped Bu Mei up and checked her condition.

In addition to some mud stuck to his body, his knees were also scraped and blood was oozing out.

"Can you stand up, Ayumi?" asked Toru Watanabe.

Ayumi tried to get up but failed. In pain, she fought back tears and said, "It hurts."

"It looks like he twisted his ankle." Watanabe Toru made a judgment: "Mitsuhiko, go call the teacher."

In this situation, the teacher can only handle it.

After the physical education teacher was brought over by Mitsuhiko, he first checked Ayumi's injuries. After reaching the same conclusion as Watanabe Toru, he squatted down, let Ayumi lie on his back, and prepared to take her to the infirmary.

Genta and Mitsuhiko were worried about Ayumi's condition, so they went along. Watanabe Toru felt that if he didn't go, he would definitely be displeased by these three guys, so he had no choice but to go along.

Because of the special characteristics of the students, doctors in elementary school clinics are usually women, and this is also the case at Teitan Elementary School.

"Dr. Miyazaki." The physical education teacher greeted him.

Miyazaki Miyuki, who was wearing a white coat, raised her head and said, "It's Mr. Nohara. What's wrong?"

"A student fell down and seems to have twisted his ankle. Can you help take a look?"

"Okay." Miyazaki Miyuki put down what she was holding and walked over.

After carefully examining Ayumi's injuries, he said, "The scrape on the knee is nothing serious. Just disinfect it with iodine and put a bandaid on it. Your ankle is a little red and swollen, so you need to spray some medicine on it and rest for two days."

The physical education teacher breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll trouble Dr. Miyazaki."

After treating her injuries, Ayumi returned to the classroom to rest. After obtaining permission from the physical education teacher, Watanabe Toru and the other two also stayed in the classroom to accompany Ayumi.

"Well, since Ayumi's foot is injured, let's take her home after school," Mitsuhiko suggested.

Yuan Tai raised his hand and agreed: "I agree."

"I have no objection." Watanabe Toru said lazily, "But the school doctor just told Ayumi to try not to let her injured foot touch the ground. How are we going to get Ayumi back?"

"I can carry Ayumi back." Yuan Tai said loudly.

Watanabe Toru glanced at him and sneered, "Ayumi is not a light balloon. Carrying her for a few dozen meters is no problem. But if it's too far, Genta, you won't be able to handle it."

"How about we take turns supporting Ayumi?" Mitsuhiko offered his idea.

Watanabe Toru shook his head: "This is too tiring for Ayumi."

"What should we do then?" The two guys were at a loss.

Watanabe Toru said: "Let's take a taxi back. This is the safest and most comfortable way."

"But we don't have any money."

Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have the money. However, cars can't be driven into the school, so Genta, I'd like to ask you to carry Ayumi to the school gate. Is that okay?"

"No problem, leave it to me." Yuantai patted his chest and felt that he had taken on a great task.

"Thank you, everyone." Seeing that everyone was trying hard to find a solution for their own problems, Ayumi wiped her eyes with emotion.

Mitsuhiko smiled and said, "We are best friends, so we should help each other, right, Toru?"

Why are you dragging me into your team?

Watanabe Toru was too tired to complain and just gave a perfunctory "hmm".

011. Ayumi’s mother is so beautiful

The taxi stopped in front of a residential building.

Watanabe Toru paid the fare, and Mitsuhiko and Genta helped Ayumi get out of the car.

The four of them walked towards the building together.

The elevator arrived at Ayumi's floor, and the door opened almost as soon as she pressed the doorbell.

"Ayumi, you're back." A beautiful woman in her early thirties appeared at the door, her long black hair tied up in a bun. She was wearing a simple yet exquisitely crafted white dress that set off her graceful figure. She greeted her daughter with a smile.

However, when she saw Ayumi with her legs raised and supported by two boys, the smile on her face was immediately replaced by astonishment, and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ayumi's mother." Watanabe Toru explained, "Ayumi sprained her foot during physical education class."

"Ah?" Mrs. Yoshida exclaimed, and hurriedly bent down to check her daughter's injury, repeatedly asking, "How did you sprain it? Did you fall? Does it hurt? Do you want me to take you to see a doctor?"

"Don't worry, Mom." Ayumi comforted her, "Doctor Miyazaki said it's not serious and she'll be fine after two days of rest."

"That's good." Mrs. Yoshida breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Watanabe Toru and the other two, and said gratefully: "Thank you for sending Ayumi back. It just so happens that I made a cake. If you don't mind, come in and eat with us."

Hearing that there was cake to eat, Mitsuhiko and Genta's eyes lit up and they agreed without hesitation, saying loudly: "Sorry to bother you."

The bright living room was spotlessly clean, with doll pillows on the sofa and a cute plush carpet underneath.

Mrs. Yoshida brought the cake, placed it on the coffee table, and said to the children with a smile, "Try it. I wonder if you like it."

The rich aroma of cream made Genta and Mitsuhiko swallow their saliva. After politely saying "Let's eat", they couldn't wait to pick up the spoon.

"Wow, it's delicious, it tastes exactly like the cakes I bought from the bakery."

"Ayumi's mother is so amazing."

Hearing the children's praise, Mrs. Yoshida's mouth curled up slightly, and she covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, "Really?"

He pulled out another tissue and wiped the cream off the corner of Yuantai's mouth, saying gently, "Eat slowly. Don't eat like a big cat."

"Mom." Ayumi suddenly remembered something she had almost forgotten: "We took a taxi back from school. Xiao Che paid for the fare. You have to give him the money."

"I see." Mrs. Yoshida nodded and looked at Watanabe Toru: "Thank you, Toru."

"You're welcome. We are good friends. Good friends should help each other."

"Yes, we should help each other." Mrs. Yoshida said with a smile.

After eating the cake and juice, it was already late. Genta and Mitsuhiko wanted to go back to watch the cartoon that was about to be broadcast. The three of them had a tacit understanding and each had their own thoughts. After politely declining Mrs. Yoshida's offer to stay for dinner, they left Ayumi's house together.

After returning home, Toru Watanabe went up to the second floor first. Seeing that the office was empty and Kogoro Mouri had gone somewhere, he went up to the third floor.

Xiaolan was already at home, preparing dinner in the kitchen. Seeing Watanabe Toru coming back, she said, "Xiao Toru is back. Remember to wash your hands and rinse your mouth."

"I know, Xiaolan." Watanabe Toru put down his schoolbag and walked towards the bathroom: "By the way, Xiaolan, where is Uncle Maori? I didn't see him downstairs."

"I don't know, maybe he's dealing with something outside."

"That's right."

After washing up and asking Xiaolan if she needed help, Toru Watanabe returned to the office on the second floor.

It has been two days since he issued the assassination mission. If everything goes well, there should be results.

He logged onto the website and, as expected, the intermediary had sent him a private message. Besides the message "Mission Completed," it also included several photos of Tanaka Kentaro's death. As long as Toru Watanabe confirmed the identity of the assassin, the intermediary would pay the commission to the killer who completed the mission.

Of course, if the employer does not confirm for a month, the intermediary agency will regard the employer as having acquiesced in the completion of the task.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Kogoro Mouri came back from outside.

Seeing his energetic look, Xiaolan asked during dinner: "Dad, did you receive any commission today?"

"That's right." Kogoro Mouri said happily. This was the first time he had received a client commission in the past three months, except for the matter with Toru Watanabe.

Xiaolan was also happy for her father and asked, "What is the commission?"

Maori Kogoro hesitated and said, "I helped the client find something worth 300,000 yuan."

"So amazing." Xiaolan exclaimed: "What is it, jewelry? Or an antique?"

"It's an imported cat."

012. Special Reward from Teacher Kobayashi

The sky was azure, the early summer breeze stirring the white clouds. Through the bright, clear windows, I could clearly see crows flying over the iron railings of the distant playground.

In my ears, I could hear Mr. Kobayashi's tireless teachings and the occasional whistle of a passing train.

The seat next to Toru Watanabe was empty today. Ayumi didn't come to school. Mrs. Yoshida must have asked for leave for her.

"Mitsuhiko, Xiaotuo, let's go to Ayumi's house to see Ayumi after school." Genta's voice came from behind. He lay on the table and held up the textbook with his hands to cover his face.

"Okay." Mitsuhiko agreed softly.

"Maybe I can eat some delicious cake again, hehe. Xiao Che, you..."

Genta poked Watanabe Toru on the back.

"Mr. Kojima, please answer this question." On the podium, Kobayashi Sumiko stopped writing on the blackboard and just caught Genta's little movement.

It's over!

Yuan Tai was struck by thunder and stood up with a pale face.

……

With five minutes left before noon, Kobayashi Sumiko closed her textbook, adjusted her glasses, and said, "There will be a monthly test next week. Please be prepared."

"what--"

The students below wailed.

Kobayashi Sumiko clapped her hands twice, signaling everyone to be quiet.

She smiled and encouraged, "There are still three days left before the exam to review. I believe everyone can get a good score. In addition, the student who ranks first in this monthly test will have a special reward."

When the young and beautiful female teacher said this, the students immediately became interested, and even Watanabe Toru began to have some thoughts.

Isn’t this reward prepared for yourself?

"Watanabe-san." Kobayashi Sumiko's eyes fell on Watanabe Toru. "Watanabe-san, since you just transferred, you don't have to take the monthly test."

Not taking the monthly test? You're kidding! You'll lose your reward.

Watanabe Toru refused without hesitation: "It's okay, Mr. Kobayashi, it's just a monthly test. I also want to know my results. Please let me take it."

"Is that so?" Kobayashi Sumiko looked at Watanabe Toru seriously. Seeing that he didn't seem reluctant, she nodded and agreed, "Okay, then Watanabe-san, let's work hard together."

During lunch break, the classmates were still discussing the monthly test.

Yuan Tai ate his rice with his mouthfuls and said incoherently, "This is over. If I don't do well in the exam, I will be scolded again."

"It's okay. There are still three days left. As long as you study hard, you will definitely get good grades." Mitsuhiko comforted.

He is an excellent student in the class and is always among the top five in every exam. A monthly test is nothing to worry about for him.

"I just hope I can pass this monthly test." Genta knew his own limitations and sighed slightly, feeling that his usual favorite eel wasn't as tasty anymore. He looked at Watanabe Toru, who was casually eating his lunch, and asked curiously, "Tetsuko, Mr. Kobayashi said you don't need to take this monthly test. Such a great opportunity, and you're just giving it up?"

Watanabe Toru naturally wouldn't tell the two youngsters what he was thinking. He made up an excuse and said, "I have confidence in myself, so it doesn't matter to me whether I take the exam or not."

It turns out that I am the only poor student.

Yuan Tai was eating his rice silently without saying anything.

After finishing the afternoon classes, it was time to go home. Watanabe Toru had no choice but to follow Genta and Mitsuhiko to visit Ayumi at her home.

"Ah! You're here." Ayumi was pleasantly surprised to see her best friend when she opened the door. Her eyes and eyebrows were smiling like crescent moons. "Come in quickly. I'm just bored."

The three of them changed into slippers at the shoe cabinet.

Ayumi shouted into the kitchen, "Mom, Xiaotetsu and the others are here."

Mrs. Yoshida came out. She was wearing a light blue suit and had a gentle smile on her oval face with light makeup.

She smiled and said, "You are here to see Ayumi, right? Please take a seat. I will peel some fruit for you."

"Thank you auntie."

"You're welcome. Ayumi, treat your friends well."

"I know, Mom."

The four of them sat on the sofa. Since they hadn't been to school for a day, Ayumi asked the three of them what happened in school today.

When she learned that Genta was caught talking secretly in class by Kobayashi Sumiko, she giggled and said, "Geunta, you're so annoying! Don't talk in class next time."

Yuantai scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I won't dare to do that again! Oh, and there's a monthly test next week. Teacher Kobayashi said that the student who gets first place this time will get a reward from her."
