No...no, that won't do! Absolutely not!
I just called Yotsuba to sneak over, and now Nino, you're here kissing? Do you want Yotsuba to come over and see you and Hayakawa hugging and kissing?!
Ichika imagined Yotsuba sneaking out of the school building with great effort, arriving at Hayakawa's place full of anticipation to have lunch with him, only to witness him kissing her older sister in the sunlight.
Nakano Ichika: "..."
This is too tragic! It's a scene straight out of hell. Yotsuba will probably think I tricked her into coming to see this, and in the end, she might even hate me too, and then...
The sisters turned against each other, and the quintet crumbled...
no! ! !
I don't want to be a wicked older sister!!!
It must be stopped immediately.
Almost instantly, Ichika made up her mind, then subconsciously changed direction and prepared to rush towards the steps, whether it was a flying kick or a lunge, she was determined to prevent any ambiguous behavior that might happen next.
However, the next moment, the steps that were originally moving forward suddenly changed direction, the accumulated fatigue exploded instantly, Yi Hua's brain was dizzy, and a feeling of nausea as if she was dehydrated welled up from the bottom of her heart. The road under her feet seemed to be spinning, and everything in front of her became unclear, and even the two figures in the distance became extremely blurry.
"Huh..."
Ichika only had time to utter a soft, questioning sound before she fell heavily to the ground, scattering dirt and pebbles.
An even more intense wave of dizziness surged through her mind, and only then did Ichika realize that she had fallen. A burning pain shot through her knee, indicating that she had probably scraped it.
She heard someone shouting, "Call the teacher over!" and two familiar figures rushed over from the steps.
Seeing this, Ichika felt relieved.
In any case, they managed to stop it, although the process was a bit complicated.
Ichika closed her eyes and smiled contentedly.
So, Clover?
I'm a good older sister, right...?
Chapter 235 Treating the Wound
Ichika suddenly opened her eyes wide from her half-asleep state, looked around in confusion, and realized that she was lying on a soft bed. Looking around, she saw a medical room filled with a faint smell of alcohol.
The infirmary is white in color: white walls, white beds, white lamps, and even white paint on the wooden floors. Using such a monotonous color usually makes people feel empty and cold.
"I... hiss~"
As Yihua moved slightly, she suddenly felt a burning pain in her left leg. Looking down, she discovered that her knee had a large gash, exposing bright red flesh, and was also swollen with a large lump.
"It hurts..."
Ichika cried out in pain, feeling somewhat helpless, only then remembering what had just happened.
Oh, I see... I fell while running and was taken to the infirmary.
The reason for the fall was...
Ichika was shocked when she thought of Hayakawa and Nino, who had been trying to do something improper. Could they have kissed again while she was away? If Yotsuba saw this, something terrible would happen!
No, I have to go and see.
Yihua sat up slightly, wanting to get off the bed, but the abrasion on her knee made her brows furrow sharply.
A cold voice suddenly came from the side: "You can't get out of bed yet."
"Wow ah ah!"
Ichika was so frightened that a chill ran down her spine. She turned around abruptly and found Hayakawa sitting on a chair in the corner of the room, not too far away but not too close either. She couldn't help but exclaim, "You scared me to death! When did you get here?!"
"In the beginning."
Hayakawa said expressionlessly, "Speaking of which, I'm the one who brought you here. Don't you even know that?"
"...It was you who brought me here, Hayakawa-kun."
Ichika blinked, her heart instantly settling back into her stomach. She patted her chest and said sincerely, "That's wonderful..."
Since it was Hayakawa who brought him here, he definitely didn't have a chance to be forcibly kissed by Nino, and Yotsuba wouldn't witness the heartbreaking scene. Everything is fine.
Nice! Ichika wins big!! She's simply the gentlest, kindest, and most caring older sister in the world.
Ichika smiled, and even the burning pain in her knees lessened slightly, giving all the pain meaning.
"That's wonderful..."
Hayakawa gave Ichika a strange look and said helplessly, "Your previous running results are invalid. The teacher asked me to tell you that you have a month to rest and recuperate, and then you will take a make-up test in PE class."
"Let's talk about this later."
Ichika, who was good at enjoying life, waved her hand dismissively: "Anyway, there's still a month left."
"How optimistic!"
Hayakawa nodded indifferently: "Your run today was a complete waste."
"Anyway, I hadn't run that many laps to begin with, I still had more than two laps to go,"
Ichika grinned shamelessly, "You won't lose out, hehe~"
"So you got dizzy after running only 400 meters..."
Hayakawa looked at Ichika with admiration, gave her a thumbs up, and exclaimed, "Amazing!"
Whose fault do you think this is?
If I hadn't suddenly seen you and Nino sitting together, I wouldn't have been so distracted that I tripped and fell.
"Speaking of which, where is Nino?"
Ichika couldn't help but puff out her pink cheeks slightly, but then suddenly remembered something and looked around nervously, afraid that Nino was also there.
After all, she was still in a semi-conscious state. If Nino had come with Hayakawa, the two of them might have taken advantage of her dazed state to do all sorts of things by her bedside.
"They're still doing physical tests, right?"
Hayakawa got up and rummaged through the cabinets and boxes in the infirmary, saying without turning his head, "She hasn't run a thousand meters yet."
"Aha?"
Ichika felt somewhat relieved, but couldn't help but complain, "My older sister is injured and she still wants to run. How heartless of her! She should come and take care of me instead."
"..."
Hayakawa paused for a moment, then turned to him and asked, "Have you lost your memory?"
Ichika was slightly taken aback: "What do you mean?"
"Didn't you say it yourself? When I helped you up, Nino wanted to take you to the infirmary immediately,"
Hayakawa looked at Ichika expressionlessly and said, "Then you suddenly said you were fine and that I could take you to the infirmary. You told Nino to stay here and focus on the physical exam, and that she could go back to class at noon. Nino wanted to go with you, but you wouldn't let her. The physical exam teacher saw that you were fine and told me to keep an eye on you, so I was the only one who took you to the infirmary."
Ichika: "..."
She frowned slightly, thought carefully for a moment, and her confused mind gradually cleared.
I vaguely remember something like that, but I was dizzy from running and then I was shaken, so my mind was a bit foggy. It's incredible that I was still able to separate Hayakawa and the other person with my last bit of consciousness.
Perhaps this is the instinct of the younger sister who is the eldest sister acting up. Even when she was almost unconscious, she still remembered to protect Yotsuba's young heart. Isn't she too great?
Ichika was almost moved to tears by her own words.
"Really..."
While rummaging through his things, Hayakawa grumbled, "If you said you were alright, you should have come to the infirmary yourself. I just helped you out of the playground and you fainted, so I had to carry you all the way here."
"Haha,"
A little embarrassed, Ichika glanced to the side and changed the subject, asking, "Where's the school doctor? Isn't he here?"
"do not know"
Hayakawa turned around, carrying a white suitcase: "When I got to the infirmary, I didn't see anyone there."
"Uh…"
Yihua looked blank, then guessed, "Maybe she went to a meeting, or maybe she's off campus?"
"probably."
Hayakawa said something, then bent down and knelt on one knee in front of Ichika.
"what!"
Nakano Ichika's eyes widened, and she instantly covered her face, exclaiming incredulously, "What are you doing?!"
"Treat the wound."
Hayakawa glanced at Ichika with a puzzled look: "If you're not going to treat your knee, are you just going to leave it like this?"
Ichika's heart pounded, and she breathed a slight sigh of relief, saying, "I see..."
It really startled her. When she saw Hayakawa's actions just now, she thought…
"Sit up straight and face me,"
Hayakawa's expression turned cold with impatience, and he said bluntly, "Move your knees a little closer to me."
"Oh, alright."
Ichika readily agreed, then blushed slightly and adjusted her posture, moving closer to Hayakawa.
"The first step is to clean the wound."
Hayakawa took out a white cloth that was damp with water from the box and carefully wiped away the dust and blood around Ichika's wound, trying not to touch the injured area.
"Well…"
Ichika couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. This wasn't because Hayakawa's wiping had hurt her; on the contrary, the cool wiping had relieved the burning pain in her wound quite a bit.
Chapter 236 A Lifetime of Shame
What made Ichika uncomfortable was Hayakawa's position and posture.
This angle…
A blush like the sunset graced Yihua's pretty face, and her clear eyes stealthily glanced at Hayakawa beneath her.
He only had to raise his head slightly to see me from above…
Ichika's body trembled slightly, and her heart suddenly started beating faster. She quickly turned her head to look at the window, where sunlight streamed in at an angle against a dazzling sky.
"Just wiping doesn't seem to be enough."
Hayakawa said quietly, hesitated for a moment, then took out a bottle of mineral water from his school uniform pocket, looked up at Ichika and said, "I need to use water to rinse your wound."
This water…
"..."
Ichika nodded subconsciously, her gaze falling on the familiar water bottle. The next moment, she felt a burning hand grasp her calf, and she let out a scream: "Ah..."
"Bear with it."
Hayakawa sighed and poured water onto Ichika's knees.
With a blush on her face, Ichika felt the liquid rushing over her knees, bringing a cool, stinging sensation.
"Tell me if it hurts."
Hayakawa lowered his head, controlling the water flow, and asked a question.
"Fortunately."
Ichika looked at Hayakawa, who had her head down. From her angle, all she could see was Hayakawa's hair, which looked like a black mushroom. Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she said, "Wait a minute, Hayakawa."
"what happened?"
Hayakawa stopped what he was doing and asked in confusion.
"I just went for a run and I'm really thirsty now, my mouth is dry,"
