Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

“Under normal circumstances, if someone were to fly up like that, crash down the stairs, and then roll, the fall would likely result in several injuries, such as concussion, comminuted fracture, dislocation, or internal bleeding.”

"but……"

After carefully examining the patient, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief, a smile finally appearing on his face: "This Miss Ma is very lucky. She fell and tumbled down more than twenty steps, and only suffered joint contusions and minor muscle tears. It sounds scary, but she recovered quickly and won't have any lesions left after recovery... As expected of Miss Ma, she has broken my survival record."

"Huh? What record?"

"There was a celebrity's daughter, I think her name was Ruoye or something, who had some mental issues and multiple personalities. She fell down a flight of stairs with more than ten steps... She actually managed to survive by switching personalities during her invincible time, and only suffered some bruises."

"Wow, that's really impressive..."

"Snapped."

Suddenly, a plastic rod made from a CT scan image struck Hitsukoho on the head at incredible speed. Hitsukoho was stunned by the impact, and after a while, her ears twitched slightly in fear.

The doctor stared speechlessly at the red-haired beauty in front of him. "What were you thinking? You tripped while walking? If you were a human, that would be one thing, but you're a horse... If word got out that you fell down, wouldn't that be a laughing stock?"

Moreover, she fell on the stairs of the Kotobuki Group. When the two bigwigs, Kotobuki and Shinichi, brought her in, the doctor was so frightened that his heart almost stopped. He was afraid that this horse girl had developed a serious problem that he couldn't treat, and that the two bosses would take their anger out on him and drag him out to be beaten to death.

Fortunately, the horse girl's machine was powerful. It rolled down like a vengeful log and finally crashed into the railing, but was not seriously injured.

Especially her head, which was completely unharmed. It was clear that the horse had instinctively adjusted its angle to protect its head while rolling, demonstrating a terrifying level of combat awareness and instinct.

If you threw her onto the battlefield, she might be able to dodge the stray arrows using only her instincts and intuition.

But surprisingly, even a horse like her could lose her focus while walking and trip and fall down the stairs.

The doctor couldn't help but ask curiously, "So, what were you thinking about just now?"

Fei Tu Hu Po stuck out her tongue, looking adorable: "I forgot what I fell into... I don't remember anything at all."

"Ah, okay."

The doctor didn't ask too many questions. He was just a surgeon and hadn't studied psychology at all. If he continued to press her, he might uncover some psychological issues, which would leave him with no way to defend himself... But a pretty girl of this age shouldn't encounter any major problems, right?

Hoping for this, the doctor applied various gels and medicines to Amber's left foot... He even took out a large piece of sticky, quick-drying plaster and started stirring it.

This time it was Fei Tu Hu Po's turn to panic. She looked at her slightly reddened legs and feet, and then at the various tools in the doctor's hands. "Hey, doctor... didn't you just say there was nothing wrong, just a joint contusion? Why are you using all these now?"

"Have you ever heard that the more conservative a doctor is... the more radical their treatment methods are?"

Ignoring Fei Tu Hu Po's complaints, the doctor applied another layer of ointment to Fei Tu Hu Po's heels.

"Isn't this a bit wasteful?"

"Let it go to waste..."

Moreover, the bigwigs of the Kotobuki family were clearly more concerned about the condition of this racehorse girl and didn't care about the consumption and cost of these medicines at all.

At this time, in front of the leaders, one should naturally try to make the treatment appear as perfect and thorough as possible.

Anti-swelling, analgesic, blood circulation stimulant, skin moisturizer, fragrance enhancer, flavor enhancer... regardless of price, as long as it's a useful medicine, use it all!

Finally, the little foot was wrapped tightly in plaster to ensure it was completely secure. Once the plaster was removed, the foot looked brand new.

"This plaster will stay on for a week, then you can just knock it off yourself."

The doctor gave Fei Tu Hu Po a confident thumbs up. "Although it won't affect your later matches, the way you rolled just now, with all the bumps, scrapes, squeezing, and twisting, it's clear that your left foot, being your dominant foot, took the most damage. For the time being, don't use your left foot."

"Ah... then my school festival."

"It doesn't matter, the plaster is waterproof... You can use a cane or ask someone for help, and you can do whatever you want. You can eat whatever you want from roadside stalls, and there are no dietary restrictions."

“Eh…” Fei Tu Hu Po looked at her right foot, which was wrapped up tightly. “Then I won’t be able to train for the next few days.”

"What's more important than rest?"

The doctor stood up, signaling the end of the treatment, and said, "Take a rest. You can even lose focus while walking and fall down the stairs... If you were running at 45 mph on a racetrack and crashed into the track, you'd probably kill yourself."

"Pfft, no way... I was just momentarily confused before." Fei Tu Hu Po laughed and moved her body, jumping off the chair and standing on one leg with her only remaining right foot.

With a cast on her left foot, her center of gravity shifted, and Amber wobbled for a while before finally finding her balance again...

Narcissus's eye twitched at the sight; as a dancer, Amber really needed to practice her right foot more.

Unaware of what Narcissus was thinking, Hibiki Amber, like a spring, hopped around and looked at Kotobuki and the uncle beside her, sticking out her tongue: "Sorry, teacher and uncle, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"No, the most important thing is that you're alright, Little Amber."

Kotobuki quickly waved her hand. She almost fainted when she saw Hitoko Amber fall. As the president of Venus, Kotobuki knew all too well how terrible an injury was for a current racehorse girl.

If Fei Tu Hu Po really gets hurt, then she and her father will be in big trouble... This is a mistake that apologies and compensation can never make up for.

Fortunately, Amber was only slightly injured, and the injury was not serious. Expensive medicine could help her recover and return to health as soon as possible.

Now, after rolling around for a while, Hibiki Amber seemed much more awake and no longer had that slow-witted feeling... It looked like she had really forgotten what she had been pondering.

"Can we still eat?"

"Sure... I need to recover from this fall, do you have any alcohol?"

"Yes! Pfft... cough cough."

Shinichi Kotobuki immediately raised his hand to speak, but then he was elbowed hard by Kotobuki. After being elbowed, he quickly added, "If we're going to drink, let's do it in moderation... Although there are no dietary restrictions, it's still better to be moderate."

"Okay! Let's go eat."

Fei Tu Hu Po skipped and hopped along.

Just now, when she was spinning and falling down the stairs, she realized something.

A person only realizes how much they love something when they realize they might lose it.

Then, close your eyes, stop thinking, and stop trying to think...

---------

Good morning!

Please please please please

Chapter 277 If you're going to help someone out, then get me off the bus!

At lunchtime, Kotobuki ordered a table full of foods that would help build muscle and strengthen bones, including large bones, protein-rich oysters, roasted lamb chops, and bone broth, all in case Hitobuki Kohaku's recovery was affected by malnutrition.

Seeing the delicious food, the gloom from her fall vanished instantly. She gripped the lamb chop handle tightly with her left hand, raised her wine glass with her right, and ate with gusto, completely delighted.

At the dinner table, Hitoko also displayed an amazing capacity for alcohol, which greatly shocked Kotobuki and Shinichi, who were experienced in business and often attended various drinking parties. They had seen many people who could drink, but they had never seen anyone like Hitoko who drank alcohol like a beverage.

Moreover, Fei Tu Hu Po has excellent drinking manners. After drinking, she doesn't shout or talk loudly like a typical drunkard. Instead, she becomes more composed and mature, like a general sitting calmly in his tent. Even if she were to undergo bone-scraping surgery, she wouldn't utter a sound.

Therefore, Shinichi Kotobuki had a very high opinion of Hitoko Amber. After all, she was exceptionally beautiful and looked delicate and seemingly unable to hold her liquor, but when she actually picked up a glass, she was a master of alcohol. Her ability to play dumb and outsmart others was the most interesting thing.

Moreover, the best defense is a good offense. When you take a girl like this out to a social gathering, you won't need her to help you drink at the table. She can drink everyone under the table with ease, so there's no question of her having to help you drink.

Hitokohaku doesn't like Kotobuki Shinichi very much, but Kotobuki Shinichi still likes Hitokohaku quite a bit. However, it's obviously impossible to arrange a marriage in the old way, since she doesn't have parents or anything like that... There's no way to negotiate with higher-ups directly, so he has to act first and ask for permission later.

So Shinichi Kotobuki pulled out his phone from under the table and texted his daughter, "You two usually get along really well, don't you? Tell me, how's your relationship going now?"

Kotobuki glared at her unserious, gossipy father, and while Hitoko was studying the label on the wine bottle, she started chatting with him.

[Kotobuki: I don't know. You want me, someone with no romantic experience, to analyze someone else's relationship situation? Old man, have you gotten so old that you've lost all sense of judgment?]

[Shinichi Kotobuki: I'm desperate! I don't want to work anymore... I want to take care of the kids. I've always wanted to be an educator since I was little.]

[Kotobuki?: You old drunkard and you call yourself an educator? But I can only say we can't rush things, because... Tou Tou hasn't even confessed to Kohaku yet. He'll have a lot of headaches when he does.]

[Shinichi Kotobuki: Sigh, no way, wouldn't it be great to never have to work hard in this life?]

[Kotobuki?: But she's also awkward... she's both proud and insecure, so it's just not easy to handle.]

Shinichi Kotobuki sighed helplessly, wondering if he should give Toru Kotobuki a piece of his mind, but then he thought he might not be able to beat him, so he gave up the idea and could only console himself by saying: At least now, Toru Kotobuki has a horse girl companion...

Kotobuki looked up helplessly, gazing at the rain outside the window through the glass. The rain was still falling, and it seemed to be getting heavier. She didn't know when the rain would stop and the sky would clear.

-----

After lunch, Kotobuki personally accompanied Hitoko Amber back to Central Teresen. Along the way, Kotobuki was still worried and nervous, constantly thinking about how to explain to Kotobuki that Hitoko Amber had fallen flat on her face.

However, when the train arrived at the station, Hitoko found that Kotobuki Toru was already waiting by the roadside with an umbrella, seemingly already knowing everything.

Hibiki Amber shifted her body in the back seat of the car, rubbing herself out as she stuck her tongue out at Kotobuki Toru: "I practiced my skills, but I didn't expect my research to fail. By the way, how did you get out here?"

Kotobuki Toru was speechless: "The medical records of active-duty female riders are networked nationwide. As soon as you go to the hospital, the news is sent to me."

"Well, that saves me the trouble of explaining. In short, there's nothing too serious, but my left foot needs some rest."

Kotobuki Toru held the umbrella over Hitoko Amber's head: "How come such a strange thing happened just because I let you go out by yourself..."

"Then just don't make me go out alone in the future."

As she spoke, Fei Tu Hu Po held onto the car door frame, first sticking her right foot out of the car, then using her arms to prepare to jump out, "Make way, I'll jump out."

Just as Hitokohaku was about to unleash her jumping ability as a racehorse girl, Kotobuki Toru reached out and firmly supported the underside of her arm, giving Hitokohaku a foothold.

Fei Tu Hu Po blinked: "Eh~ I didn't expect you to offer to help?"

"It's better to be the one who's injured," Kotobuki Toru said, supporting Hitoko Amber. He continued, "Can you jump out like this?"

Hitoko turned her head to look at Kotobuki Toru's arm supporting her, then looked at Kotobuki Toru again. She had been about to jump out, but she shrank back. Not only that, Hitoko said in a coquettish tone, "Since you've already lent a hand... I might as well help to the end."

Kotobuki looked at Hitoko and thought that people are more vulnerable when they are injured, both physically and mentally. Hitoko did look a bit soft and cute right now.

Since it was Hitoko Amber who took the initiative to ask for help, Kotobuki Toru casually handed the umbrella to Kotobuki Toru standing to the side, reached out to Hitoko Amber, placed his two thick and strong palms under Hitoko Amber's armpits, felt the softness and suppleness of Hitoko Amber's ribs, and directly lifted Hitoko Amber up.

Then, by "lifting" Hitsukohaku out of the car, and once Hitsukohaku had stabilized herself on her right foot, Kotobuki Toru prepared to let go.

But Hitotsu Kohaku didn't just let Kotobuki Toru walk away. Instead, she grabbed Kotobuki Toru's arm and climbed up to hold it. "Don't go, don't go... Look, I don't have any crutches or anything, and the ground is all wet. Are you going to make me hop back like this?"

Kotobuki glanced at Hitoko Amber's raised left leg and asked, "So I'm helping you walk?"

“Yeah… I’ve seen many other racehorse girls get injured and have to be helped by their trainers to walk.” After saying that, Hitoko’s wrist wrapped around Kotobuki Toru’s arm like a vine, her hand gripping his upper arm tightly. She adjusted her center of gravity slightly, straightened her body, and said, “This can be considered as making up for your experience as a trainer!”

"I'd rather not have this experience...it's too scary."

Kotobuki Toru, supporting Hitoko Amber, took the umbrella from Kotobuki Kohaku's hand, and winked at his sister with a look of utter disdain.

It's one thing to arrange for Hitokohaku to be neglected, but the Kotobuki Group is such a large company... and they can't even provide a walking stick?! It's getting worse every year.

Kotobuki could only helplessly endure her younger brother's disdainful looks.

That means there isn't one?!

Forget about canes and electric wheelchairs, I even suggested assigning that incompetent receptionist to be Hitotsu Amber's butler...

But they don't want it!

The second update is here!

Please please please please

P.S., the bounty is still ongoing.

Chapter 278 A Blessing in Disguise?

At first, Kotobuki couldn't understand why Hitoko was so determined to refuse crutches, wheelchairs, and even the butler service that was offered to her.

Now, looking at Kotobuki Toru supporting Hitobuki Kohaku, and Hitobuki Kohaku already holding onto Kotobuki Toru's arm, and the two of them already huddled together.

Kotobuki thinks she might be on the first level, while Hitokohaku is already on the fifth level... Could it be that Hitokohaku's fall somehow boosted her intelligence and cunning?

Or is Fei Tu Hu Po just a girl who seems foolish but is actually wise?

Qin Chui dared not speculate, and could only watch their receding figures, silently wishing them all the best.

……

Kotobuki held an umbrella and walked side by side with Hitoko in the rain. Remembering that Hitoko could only move one leg normally, he subconsciously slowed his pace so that Hitoko could walk more comfortably.

The intense fragrance emanating from the Scarlet Amber, mixed with a faint hint of alcohol, subtly permeated the nostrils, adding a touch of warmth and intoxication to the gloomy, rainy, and chilly weather.

Fei Tu Hu Po was holding her arm, transferring her body weight to her through her slender palm. It was a little heavy, but still bearable.

Kotobuki Toru had read in a psychology book that daring to entrust one's body weight and center of gravity to another person is a sign of complete trust. His own father used to do the same, placing his hands on his shoulders.

Now... is it Fei Tu Hu Po? Does she trust herself that much?

Qin Chui's thoughts began to drift uncontrollably. With a beautiful woman by his side, a slight ripple of emotion inevitably stirred within him. However, after much thought, he decided he should first inquire about Fei Tu Hu Po's condition, and so he asked, "How are you feeling now?"

"It hurts a lot. Even though the doctor said there wouldn't be any problems, it's still a severe contusion and a muscle tear..."

Fei Tu Hu Po raised her head and looked at Qin Chui Tou. Her eyes sparkled like clear autumn water, and at first glance, they seemed to hold a hint of tender affection.
