"It's okay, it's just broken. Wait, let's go to the hospital this afternoon. By the way, Miss Maria, are you okay?" He said it easily, but his facial expression could not be hidden.

In Maria's eyes, there is nothing more to do than to be brave.

"This is definitely not a trivial matter. I'll take a leave of absence this afternoon to accompany you!"

Chapter 80 Ikeda-kun's Doubts

"It's okay, it's just a hiss~~~~" You patted the broken plaster, wanting Maria to relax, but the gasp scared Maria. Maria, who was originally going to pull it back,

I have made up my mind to go, and I will accompany you to the hospital no matter what.

"Don't say anything. This is all my fault. I will take responsibility. Now, go to bed and have a good rest. I will help you with the cooking." Maria's tone became serious, and her eyes no longer had the tenderness of the past.

Just like a mother scolding a child who has made a mistake, she will not allow you to continue to get hurt because of you, and she will protect your safety even if she has to use some tough measures.

"Do you understand!"

“I know.” Maria suddenly became serious, and you couldn’t argue with her. This was the first time you saw Maria like this in your daily life. She used to be a gentle mother or big sister.

This contrast is a bit exciting, and I like it. If you force yourself to shiver, and then you react with an angry look on your face, but your body moves involuntarily, what a wonderful scene it would be.

You swallowed, your body reacting. It was too early to show your weapon, so you pulled the blanket next to you to cover your embarrassment.

"Today's breakfast is still vegetable porridge, but this time there are a lot more ingredients~" Maria came to you with a bowl of hot porridge. Her gentle and sweet smile made you feel at ease, and the ingredients in the porridge were also very rich.

You don't know where to start, there are so many things! They all look delicious!

"Thank you~" You wanted to take the porridge, but Maria glared at you. You smiled awkwardly and put your hand back.

"As a patient, you must be good and obedient. If you keep making trouble, I won't care about you!" Maria said fiercely, with her cheeks puffed up slightly. She looked really cute when she pretended to be angry.

Maria scooped up the porridge with a spoon, blew on it with her mouth, stuck out her tongue and tapped it lightly to make sure it was cool, then handed it to you.

"Ah~"

"Ah~~~" Maria is always so gentle, you can't refuse her kindness at all, the perfect temperature and delicious taste, you can't find any fault with it. Maria is really very caring.

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat!"

"As long as it tastes good, it's still a little early, so we can go a little slower." Maria looked down at her phone. It wasn't too late, and the distance from here to school wasn't too long. Besides, she usually arrived at school 20 minutes earlier than the scheduled time.

Even if it's over, the worst-case scenario is to arrive at school on time.

You finished the porridge in the bowl according to Maria's pace, and Maria finally ordered with satisfaction. She reached out and gently touched your head a few times. The fluffy and soft feeling was somewhat unique, like a kitten.

"If you like, Ms. Maria, you can touch it with both hands."

"Ahem, that's not the case. You do need to pay attention to your personal hygiene. If it's inconvenient, I'll clean it for you."

"Oh, it's time. I'm leaving first. I've put the dishes in the sink. You just stay at home. I'll take a leave of absence in the afternoon and come to accompany you to the hospital." Maria picked up her schoolbag and trotted out of the room.

You hear the sound of people coming down the stairs outside until it disappears, and you peek through the window to see Maria rushing to school. You get up from the bed, stretch your muscles, and prepare to go to the hospital to get the plaster fixed.

By the way, I can check my testimony with the doctors. If I go there with Maria in the afternoon, wouldn’t my plan be exposed?

You calculated the time exactly and looked around before going out. After making sure that Maria was not there, you took a taxi to the hospital.

The third time you came to the hospital, the security guard at the door recognized you immediately. He quickly took out the intercom and said something, and the old yard man that day came out with a stethoscope on his ear.

"Well, no matter how many times it happens, I'm shocked." Even though I know that Ai Tian's family is big and powerful, I often experience this kind of life. I still have to sigh that the gap between people is really too big.

The old dean received you again. After you were treated last time, their hospital received a large amount of funding, and the old equipment has been updated. The current medical strength can catch up with the top level in the country. The old dean nodded and bowed all the way.

I'm almost kneeling down to you.

“It is our responsibility to enable people to receive better medical services!” Your passionate speech brought tears to everyone’s eyes in the hospital, and they have begun to respectfully address you as “sir”.

After going around in circles for a long time, the old dean finally discovered that the plaster on your hand was cracked. He hurriedly put you on a stretcher and did all the examinations on you. This scene seemed familiar.

"You recovered so quickly. Even a child would need a week to recover from this kind of wound, but you recovered completely in just two days!" The old dean's blurry eyes widened at this moment. It was no exaggeration to call this a medical miracle.

"No, I just came to tell you something, Dean." You told the dean that you didn't want to go to school because your elbow was in a cast. You thought the dean would scold you and said that students should behave like students and not resort to such tricks.

The director agreed repeatedly and even wrote a list for you and stamped it. He sent you out of the hospital with a smile on his face, making you feel a little dazed at what was happening.

You returned home and sat on the bed, sending a selfie to Maria, and replied that I was ready. Maria, please concentrate on your studies, and I will study hard too.

During the break, Maria covered her mouth with her hand and looked at the message you sent on her phone. Her nose felt sore. What a sunny and positive boy!

"Gardenia, I need to take a leave this afternoon. I have already called the teacher for the report, you can take care of it."

"Okay! Go ahead and get busy, President Maria." Maria explained the progress of the work, handed over to the vice president beside her, and walked out of the student union with her schoolbag. As soon as she turned the corner, Senior Ikeda came to the door of the student union with his head down.

I haven't had a good chat with Maria these past few days, and I feel like I've been left out. It's really relaxing to not be controlled by her sometimes... But now I miss Maria a little bit.

I miss the days when she made breakfast for me, and the way he woke me up...

"Um, Senior Ikeda? You are here to see President Maria, right?" When Ikeda lowered his head in thought, an orange-haired girl pushed open the door and found Ikeda Zeming standing at the door hesitating.

"Well, hello, Gardenia-san. Where's President Maria?"

"President, you just said you had to go out for an urgent matter, so you asked for leave in the afternoon. How come you didn't know that as the president's boyfriend?" Gardenia looked at Ikeda in surprise, and Ikeda also looked at Gardenia with a confused look on his face.

Why did you suddenly ask for leave today? You've already told me everything.

Chapter 81: I’m not as fickle as Senior Ikeda.

"It's wrong, it's so wrong, Maria has never been like this before." Ikeda held his head with both hands and shook it vigorously, trying to get rid of this strange feeling from his mind. The strange behavior made Gardenia a little embarrassed. Senior Ikeda, what are you doing?

"Um, are you okay, Ikeda-senpai~"

"Ah, it's okay... Do you know where Maria went?"

"I'm not sure about that. She looks anxious. It could be something big." When Gardenia saw Ikeda coming back to his senses, she told him about Maria and left the student union with a thick stack of documents. She still had a lot of things to do.

But I don’t have time to chat with you, a man with the sour smell of love.

"Or, others should know something." Ikeda remained where he was, thinking. He still didn't understand what Maria had been busy with during this period of time, and he said that he didn't care.

In fact, Ikeda was almost anxious these days. He began to recall what happened during this period. All of Maria's abnormal behaviors seemed to have happened after she met Kinoshita Muramasa.

"Hey, why are you daydreaming? What do you want for lunch? I'll treat you!" Ikeda's childhood friend put his arm around Ikeda's shoulder, shook it twice, and then took out 3 yen from his pocket. This was a small portion of the amount that Miyamoto Naoshi rewarded himself.

"When did you become so rich?" Ikeda glanced at the Japanese yen in his hand. His good friend's family was not rich, so where did all this money come from?

In addition, that guy Miyamoto Naoki seems to have set his sights on him recently. In short, everything is a mess. Now even Maria has become strange.

The reason for all this must be found from Kinoshita Muramasa. So, Ikeda decided to visit you in person.

He didn't know your address or phone number, so he could only send a message to Maria, expressing his wish to go see Kinoshita-kun as well.

At Kinoshita’s house, Maria is conscientiously helping you with your homework, and the phone screen on the table lights up.

A message from Ikeda Zeming came out: [Maria, where are you? I want to ask for Kinoshita's address. I want to visit him.]

Maria frowned at the message. She didn't understand why Ikeda, who usually didn't care about Kinoshita-kun at all, would want to come and visit you suddenly.

Moreover, Maria didn't tell Ikeda-kun about the fact that she was taking care of you. Maria felt a sense of guilt that made her feel a little suffocated. She didn't want Ikeda to find out about this and she wanted to continue taking care of you until your arm was fully recovered.

"Is Senior Ikeda coming? I welcome you very much. Maria feels bored too, right? Please accompany me to study and take care of me." He said the most heartbreaking words in the cutest and brightest voice. You may say it's a breeze, but to Maria it sounded as heavy as a mountain.

"You're talking nonsense again. Ikeda-kun should have come earlier. It was me who asked you to help, and I told Ikeda-kun about it afterwards."

"He hasn't come to see you since he was discharged from the hospital." Maria stopped writing, put her pen on her lips and bit them lightly, her face full of melancholy and dissatisfaction.

"Boys are all like this. They will have a little hostility towards other boys. Simply put, they are jealous." You patiently enlightened senior Maria. Although she is very strong in study and sports among girls, she is still a little weak in emotions.

Coincidentally, this is your strong point.

"Really?"

"Yes, Senior Ikeda should be the kind of guy who is very confident and considers many things." Your analysis stunned Maria, who was biting the pen cap at the side. You are absolutely right. You are not as good as Daisuke Ikeda.

He is indeed gentle, so gentle that he is like central air conditioning in Internet lingo. No matter whether it is a man or a woman, as long as they ask for his help in a positive way, he will agree after thinking about it. Even if he can't do it, he will occasionally bite the bullet and agree.

He made some jokes, but he also had many friends because of this. Sometimes when he walked side by side with other girls, Maria would secretly feel jealous. Even if Maria greeted him, Ikeda would run to her first.

But these are just temporary measures.

"Sometimes I really envy Senior Ikeda for having so many friends around him. Unlike me, it seems that I only have you, Maria, around me." You said as you picked up your pen again and started doing your homework. You didn't mind Senior Ikeda coming to your house.

Then the decision is in Maria's hands, and it was Maria who took the initiative to propose taking care of herself and tutoring herself in her studies, and it has nothing to do with you.

If senior Ikeda acts unreasonably, would you mind teaching him a lesson?

"Am I the only one?" Maria said to herself, looking down at you who were studying hard, a smile appeared on her lips, even she herself didn't know it. During this time together, Maria's feelings towards you have undergone some strange changes.

"Senior Maria, what do we do here?" You pointed to a blank question, and Maria came over to take a look and said angrily.

“Didn’t I tell you last time? First do this, then this, then this.” Maria walked to your side, took out a piece of draft paper and explained the solution to the problem to you. You secretly moved closer to Maria without her noticing.

You used this little trick to take advantage of Maria everywhere. She was a little shy at first, but over time Maria no longer took it to heart.

"Kinoshita-kun, you are supposed to be very smart, why do you sometimes forget the questions you have clearly done?" Maria was puzzled, but in terms of learning ability, Kinoshita-kun's learning ability is at an upper-average level in the school.

There is no need to review several similar questions over and over again.

"I don't know, maybe I'm just stupid. Hehehe~" You scratched the back of your head sheepishly, smiling innocently. Maria's heart softened, and whenever you showed this pure and innocent smile, Maria would forgive some of your small mistakes.

"Don't make the same mistake again next time, by the way."

"What do you think about Ikeda-kun, Kinoshita-kun?" Maria brought the topic back to the point when solving the problem. She couldn't refuse Ikeda's request, otherwise it would make people feel that she was making something up.

Making Ikeda suspicious was not what she wanted, it would ruin the relationship between the three of you.

"I'm fine with it, as long as Miss Maria thinks it's okay."

"Um...Okay, I understand."

Chapter 82 The little secret was discovered by Maria!

"Is Maria-senpai afraid that Kinoshita-senpai will find out about this?"

"It's not that I'm scared, I just feel sorry for him. But there's nothing I can do, because that's why I'm like this." Maria looked a little depressed. If she hadn't asked you to help save Ikeda-kun that day, nothing would have happened.

"I have indeed neglected Ikeda-kun during this period." Maria pointed her finger at her cheek and tilted her head in thought. She hadn't chatted with Ikeda-kun or gone home with him much in the past few days. Now that she thinks about it, she misses him a little.

"But he should understand." Maria rolled her eyes. As long as she talked to Ikeda-kun seriously, he would definitely understand based on his personality. And maybe he could become good friends with Ikeda-kun?

Yes! Let Kinoshita-kun and Ikeda-kun become good friends. It is only natural for me to take care of Kinoshita-kun. Besides, he is my lifesaver.

Ikeda-kun often helps other girls, so why can't I?!

"That's fine too. I don't want to see Maria-senpai and Ikeda-senpai quarreling because of me."

"Don't worry, Ikeda-kun is very gentle. I think you two can become very good friends." Maria said with a smile, and the previous disappointment was swept away and she was visibly happy. You don't understand what she was thinking.

But Maria's suggestion is very good. Becoming good friends with Ikeda-senpai is indeed a good idea. Sakamoto Daiming was also a good friend of mine last time, wasn't he?

"It's almost time. I'm leaving now. Kinoshita-kun, please continue to behave. Ikeda-kun and I have agreed to come over for a visit together."

"Yeah~" You nodded obediently and watched Maria walk out of the room. You didn't notice that her phone was hanging on the corner of your desk.

Studying makes you tired, and after a big meal, sleepiness sweeps over you, but it is only around seven o'clock in the evening, and you will definitely not be able to fall asleep now if you go to bed late at night.

You need to find something to kill time:

1. "Attack Xingzi at night and reward her directly!"

2. "Attack Ai Tian at night and reward her directly!"

3. "Attacking Maria and then rewarding her!"

4. "Reward yourself by watching a video from a certain island country!"

Besides stir-frying, there is nothing but stir-frying. Kinoshita looked at the four options from the sidelines and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The simulator has been getting more and more abnormal recently. What kind of options are these? Why do they only know how to stir-fry every day? If stir-frying can directly make people fall into evil!

Then I, Kinoshita-kun, will surpass them all today!

"3 should be a situation where you are bound to die. Forcing the relationship to last will result in death. 4, isn't that a bit too embarrassing?" Kinoshita really didn't want you to choose option 4, but this was the first time it appeared.

There is endless temptation, and you feel that this scene is familiar. You flip through the history records and see [Maria left her phone on your desk], and Kinoshita finally understands.

He needs to have a chance encounter with Maria to further enhance the relationship between the two. Kinoshita secretly praises himself for being careful, otherwise he will most likely choose 3 and get a bad ending.

"How would it feel to be arrested for glueing?" This strange thought spreads in your mind. Isn't this... the same as the time with Xingzi!

I'm here, Apricot!

"This simulator is real. Fortunately, it's a simulator, otherwise I would never be able to do such a thing." Kinoshita complained, and after comforting himself, he chose option 4.
