Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home Chapter 672

  Chapter 672 Infecting you with a cold

   "Hmm...?"

  When Ying Lili woke up, the first thing she felt was a strong sore throat.

   Then, the dryness in the nasal cavity, the slightly itchy throat, the drowsy head...

  Accompanied by a sense of strangeness surging from all parts of the body, what greeted my eyes was a strange ceiling.

   To be more precise, it is the ceiling that I have only gradually become familiar with this week.

   It took more than ten seconds to adapt, and the brain finally started to function slowly.

  Glanced out the window, only the deep night and white snow outside, lonely and silent.

  Ying Lili squinted at the clock on the opposite wall, carefully identifying it in the dim environment.

  「March 15, Monday, 5:00AM」

  She was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately came to her senses.

  I seem to be on the phone with Yusuke...?

  No time to think about why she was lying here to sleep, she hurriedly looked around for her phone, and then froze in place for a second.

   "...Yusuke...?"

  She murmured blankly, her thoughts went blank for a moment because of the scene in front of her.

  The boy lay quietly on the edge of the bed, with his hands on the bed, his head and neck resting on his arms, and his body undulated slightly with his breathing.

  Moonlight poured down through the window, bringing a layer of misty blue to the room, and at the same time shining on the casually scattered white hair of the other party, emitting a faint light.

  Yusuke Kato frowned slightly, as if he hadn't fully fallen asleep yet, and there was a bit of vigilance towards the outside world on his handsome face.

  His nose bridge is high, his face is well-defined, and his moderately thick lips are pursed into a line. The overall feeling is cold and indifferent, but there is also an indescribable charm.

  The house is quiet, only the faint sound of the wind and the occasional chirping of birds can be heard, adding a poetic flavor to the quiet night.

  Ying Lili opened her eyes wide in surprise, subconsciously held her breath, and covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.

  Huh?

Why?

  Why is Yusuke here?

  Why are you still sleeping next to me?

  Her heart was pounding, two blushes quickly rose on her face, and questions came out of her mind one after another.

   Then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of something on the bedside table, where there were fever-reducing patches, medicine, and water glasses.

  As if trying to cool down his hot head, there was a trace of coolness on his forehead.

   Stretched out his hand and touched it, his fingertips felt like cloth.

  So she immediately understood the current situation.

   Undoubtedly, these must have been prepared with the help of Kato Yusuke.

  As for why the other party came here...

  Based on the sporadic recall of memory fragments and my poor physical condition at this time, the answer is basically self-evident.

  Erili's eyes flickered brightly, staring straight at the boy's face.

  Although the body is still sore and weak, the spirit is extremely excited.

  She turned her body carefully, approaching that side little by little, and rested her head on a level with the opponent.

   Just staring at the other person's face in silence, the boy's breathing was as calm as the waves, gently blowing on her cheeks.

   This was the first time she saw him sleeping, and she felt an indescribable and unsettling subtle feeling in her heart.

  Ying Lili stretched out her hand involuntarily, and touched the other person's cheek lightly, the warm and jade-like touch was a little strange.

"Um…"

  The young man made a sound, as if sensing the changes in the outside world, his brows were slightly frowned.

  So she immediately withdrew her fingers, not daring to take a breath, and she didn't feel relieved until the other party's breathing became stable.

  Sneaky... feels so exciting...

  Ying Lili was thinking secretly, driven by a strange feeling of doing bad things in her heart, she couldn't help raising her head, and gently pressed her lips against the other party's lips.

  Accompanied by the slightly hot breath, the pleasant mint fragrance wafts over.

  She closed her eyes, preparing to steal the reward after her hard work, but—

   "Yingli pear...?"

  A thunder suddenly rang in his ear.

"-Eh?"

  She opened her eyes suddenly, and saw a pair of deep black eyes staring at her from a close distance.

  Puff~~~!

   There seemed to be a sharp roar of a boiling kettle in her head, and Ying Lili froze in place, her face flushed suddenly.

   "Ah... this, this... thing, it's not what you think, Yusuke, please listen to my explanation..."

   Kato Yusuke sat up with support, stared intently at her face, and asked after a while, "When did you wake up?"

   "Eh...? This...just now...?"

   "Sorry, I was supposed to observe your situation, but I accidentally fell asleep later. Anyway, since you're awake, drink some water first."

   Kato Yusuke said as he bent down, took out a bottle of mineral water from the plastic bag, unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to her.

  Ying Lili took the water with a guilty conscience, and secretly observed him through the movement of drinking water. Seeing that he didn't seem to be aware of her previous small movements, she finally calmed down.

  As she relaxed so much, those negative physical feelings surged up again, making her involuntarily show a gloomy expression.

  Seeing this, Kato Yusuke immediately took the water from her hand and asked her to lie down again.

   "Yinglili, do you feel uncomfortable?"

   "Hmm... To be honest, I don't feel well anywhere. Not only does my head and throat hurt like hell, but I can't use my strength. I feel like I'm going to die... Hey, Yusuke, am I going to die?"

  Ying Lili said sobbingly, in exchange for the boy's speechless eyes.

   "Unfortunately, the doctor said you just had the flu and you'll recover in about a week, so you don't need to worry."

"doctor…?"

   "Yes, I contacted your family doctor according to the phone number provided by Aunt Sayuri. Others said that you are fine, as long as you have a good rest. It is a blessing in misfortune."

   "Is that so... Yusuke how did you get in?"

   "Aunt Sayuri told me where the spare key is stored, and I opened the door with the key and came in."

   Kato Yusuke paused, and asked, "Do you have an appetite now? Do you want some porridge?"

  Ying Lili shook her head, "I'm not hungry yet, but a little sleepy..."

   "Then go to sleep for a while, and when the time is up, I will wake you up and take your medicine."

   "Hmm... what about you?"

   Kato Yusuke yawned, "It's nothing, I'll watch you here."

  Ying Lili stared at him for a while, "...but you look sleepy, won't you fall asleep?"

   "It doesn't matter, I will find a way to stay awake."

   "I'm not talking about that." The girl said and moved a little inside, and said in a timid voice: "I will be very embarrassed if you do this...so, sleep together..."

  The air suddenly fell into silence.

  Outside the window, a fish belly faintly appeared in the distant sky.

   A faint light came in, and tentatively touched the girl's face with a faint blush.

  Yusuke Kato raised his eyes, and looked at the person who invited him without saying a word.

  Honestly speaking, he was really tired.

   Since returning from Mount Fuji, he has not closed his eyes for more than 20 hours. Coupled with the continuous journey, he is already very tired mentally.

  Because of this, he fell asleep while taking care of Ying Lili.

  He doesn't really mind taking a break if given the chance.

  —But that also depends on the specific situation and occasion.

   At least right now, it absolutely does not meet his expectations.

   Facing his slightly condemning gaze, Ying Lili held the quilt with both hands, and hid half of her face in the bed.

   "Why are you...looking at me like that...?"

   "…No, I just wanted to say you don't joke around when you're sick."

   "Huh? Haven't you always regarded yourself as a big brother? Then it doesn't matter if you lie with your sister...?" Ying Lili said pretending to be calm.

   "...Even if they are brothers and sisters, they won't lie together after they go to high school, right? Anyway, there's no need, I'm fine like this." Kato Yusuke waved his hand in disapproval.

  The girl showed an annoyed expression, she hated his indifferent attitude, and immediately turned her face to the other side.

   "Ah, is it, then it's up to you!"

  Her fever symptoms have not completely subsided, and after sulking for a while, she quickly fell asleep.

  By the time Ying Lili opened her eyes again, the sky was already completely bright.

"Are you awake?"

   Kato Yusuke, who was sitting next to him, noticed this for the first time, put down his phone and said, "It just so happens that the time is almost up, get up and take your medicine."

  Ying Lili sat up with support, leaned against the head of the bed, took the medicine and mineral water he handed over, and drank it.

   "...Yusuke, what time is it?"

   "Eight thirty, you've slept 3 hours since then."

"oh…"

   "I cooked a little vegetable porridge, do you have an appetite now?"

   "...Eh? Did you cook it yourself?"

"What is the problem?"

  Ying Lili turned her head wonderingly, "Does my family have materials for making that kind of thing?"

   "The ingredients were suggested by Hui to buy before I came here. She also told me how to make the vegetable porridge. I think the taste should not be too bad."

   "... Hui taught you, then I want to drink."

   "Then I'll get it. You take your temperature first, and I'll be back in five minutes." Kato Yusuke urged, then got up and walked out of the room, closing the door.

  Ying Lili watched him leave, then lifted the hem of the short-sleeved T-shirt and clamped the thermometer under her arm.

  Five minutes later, she took her temperature, and Kato Yusuke also entered the room after knocking on the door and asking.

   "I brought the porridge, what's the temperature?"

   "Thirty-eight degrees five."

   "It's still very hot, let's rest after eating the porridge."

   Kato Yusuke sat down on the chair, and passed over the steaming bowl and spoon, "This porridge has been warmed up for a while after cooking, and the temperature should be just right now, so hurry up and eat it."

   "Well, thanks..."

  Ying Lili took the bowl and looked down.

  The inside is a kind of slightly thicker porridge, which is added with mushrooms, carrots, tofu and green vegetables.

   Stir lightly with a spoon, the texture of the porridge is fine and soft, without obvious graininess.

   "It's kind of like that..."

  Ying Lili muttered softly, scooped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth.

  The texture of porridge is soft and smooth, with a strong fragrance of vegetables and tofu, which is integrated with the fragrance of rice.

  The right amount of salt makes the taste not too bland, and the trace amount of pepper is the finishing touch, stimulating the taste buds and making the mouth full of body fluid.

  Ying Lili opened her eyes wide in surprise, staring at the porridge in the bowl, her hand holding the spoon stopped moving.

   Seeing this, Kato Yusuke couldn't help asking in wonder: "What's wrong?"

"…nothing."

  Ying Lili sternly slapped her face, ate a few more mouthfuls of porridge, then pushed the bowl back, "Huh... that's enough."

   "Enough?" Kato Yusuke frowned as he looked at the porridge in the bowl, which fell no more than one centimeter, "Are you full after eating this little?"

   "Because it doesn't taste good." Ying Lili stated in a rigid tone.

"Unappetizing…?"

   Kato Yusuke frowned even deeper.

   You must know that when he cooked the porridge, he followed Hui's instructions completely, including tasting it himself. Although he couldn't say how delicious it was, at least it wasn't so hard to swallow.

  So he deliberated and asked: "Do you not like porridge? I also bought nutritional jelly, do you want to eat that?"

   "Let the patient eat nutritional jelly, thank you for being able to say it."

   "Otherwise, what do you want to eat? There is no takeaway at this time, do you want me to go out and buy it for you?"

   "Instant fried noodles?"

   "Since when is instant food more nutritious than nutritious jelly...?"

   "The porridge is also fine."

   "Huh...?" Kato Yusuke looked at the porridge in the bowl, and didn't know if he should say something.

  As if understanding his eyes, Ying Lili, who was peeking over here frequently, said: "...you want me to eat that much?"

   "...After all, you need to supplement nutrition now, and eat well to recover as soon as possible. I naturally hope that you can get better soon."

   Kato Yusuke said, and at the same time added in his heart, "Besides, I added Qi and blood medicine to it."

   "...Well, since you've talked about it, if you agree to my additional conditions, I can eat it."

"Additional conditions?"

   "Yes, yes."

  Ying Lili hugged the pillow, looked at him with shy and expectant eyes, and said falteringly: "Yes, yes... If you feed me, then, then I can't promise you..."

   When she said the last, her fair cheeks were dyed a light rose color, and she shyly buried half of her face into the pillow, even her ears were slightly red. So cute it's heart-pounding.

   Kato Yusuke averted his eyes from her face, remained silent for a moment, then scooped up a spoonful of vegetable porridge and brought it to her.

   "You mean like this? Come on, open your mouth."

   "What, what...!"

   Facing his move, Ying Lili, who was the proposer, froze instead.

  The girl alternately looked at the spoon in front of her and his face, her hands hugging the pillow trembled, and her face turned red up to her ears.

   "You, you are serious!? Do you have a fever in your head!"

   "Aren't you the one who made such a request? Including the one with the fever."

   "What the **** are you thinking about taking, taking... such a ridiculous joke for real? Are you an idiot?"

   Kato Yusuke narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly:

   "It's absurd... Although I don't want to mention it, but what did you want to do when I fell asleep last night?"

"Varied-"

  Ying Lili's eyes widened in astonishment, her mouth opened wide, and her expression was so flustered that she was about to cry.

   Kato Yusuke continued: "In short, I don't want to complain anymore, as long as you are willing to eat this bowl of porridge obediently, I will agree to some conditions for you as appropriate."

"Eh…?"

   "So, can you eat properly now?"

   "Why did you become, so serious..."

  Ying Lili, who regained her composure, complained in a low voice. After several hesitations, she finally made up her mind. She opened her mouth "ah~" and leaned forward, matching his movements to catch the spoon.

   "...um." Ying Lili's small face puffed up slightly, and she chewed slowly.

  Yusuke Kato showed a troubled expression. He only felt that the other party looked like a chick waiting to be fed, and he was a parent bird that was nurturing.

  By the way...do male birds do this kind of feeding behavior?

  He was thinking about these things, while pulling the spoon out of the soft cherry lips.

"…Is it tasty?"

"…tasty."

   "Oh? But didn't you say it was unpalatable before?"

   "You, you are so annoying, I won't eat any more..."

  “…When I didn't say it, keep eating.”

"Um…"

  Ying Lili nodded reluctantly, and ate the porridge one mouthful after another in line with his rhythm.

   "Don't be so anxious, chew a little more before swallowing."

   "You don't need to tell me about that kind of thing—hmm!? Cough cough, cough cough!"

   "I told you not to worry."

   "This, this is... a natural reaction to a cold! I didn't get choked!"

   "Whatever you say."

  Kato Yusuke shook his head helplessly, took out a handkerchief to help her wipe her mouth, and Eriri also stuck out her head in cooperation.

  Honestly speaking, this kind of behavior is somewhat ambiguous, but the two who are immersed in playing the roles of parent bird and chick don't seem to care too much.

   "Hey... Did I give you this handkerchief before?"

   "Yes, you used the excuse of returning the handkerchief to find me in class. You gave it to me at that time, do you still remember?"

   "Of course I will remember! Who told you to threaten me with the fact that I was drawing a book, I will remember this matter forever!"

  Ying Lili puffed up her face angrily, as if she was still brooding over the past.

   Kato Yusuke nodded reminiscently, and said apologetically: "Well, it was indeed my fault at the beginning, I tell you—"

   "—You don't need to apologize."

"Well…?"

   "...I said don't apologize."

  Ying Lili looked somewhere aside, her voice erratic.

   "Because...if you didn't do that at the beginning, people...wouldn't be able to get to know you, I absolutely don't want to do this..."

  Yusuke Kato couldn't help being taken aback, a faint throbbing in his heart.

  In order to conceal his inner emotions, he continued to deliver the porridge to the other party's mouth with a spoon.

  The girl happily ate the porridge he cooked, showing a satisfied expression.

  One of the two is responsible for feeding and the other is responsible for eating.

  After repeating this, the porridge in the bowl will decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  At a certain moment, Ying Lili suddenly said such a sentence.

   "Strange, why does it feel like your body is hot...?"

   "Hot?" Kato Yusuke couldn't help becoming alert, "What exactly does it feel like?"

   "Hmm... there is a strange hot feeling in the body, a bit like the forest school."

  “…Aside from this, is there anything else? Do you feel uncomfortable?”

  Ying Lili felt a little bit, and said uncertainly: "It seems that there is no...?"

   "It's probably because you have a fever right now, so don't think too much about it."

"…is that so?"

   "Yes, the doctor said that you are not in good health, so eat well and pay attention to rest."

   "What, you make it sound like you're sick, Yusuke, haven't you ever been sick?"

   "It's a pity that I really haven't. Come on, this is the last mouthful of porridge, and you'll be fine after eating it."

  Ying Lili stared at his face, showing displeasure, and immediately snatched the spoon from his hand, turned around and stretched out her hand.

   "I thought about it, I'll give you the last bite. Come on, ah~~"

   "...What do you mean?" Kato Yusuke frowned slightly.

   "You just said that you would agree to me no matter what the conditions are? Then eat it." Ying Lili said confidently.

   "If I remember correctly... My original words are "As long as you are willing to eat this bowl of porridge obediently, I will agree to some conditions at your discretion." Do you want me to explain to you the meaning of the word discretion? "

   "Yes, if you don't eat, then I won't eat anymore."

   "Are you a child...?"

   "Do you want to eat?"

   Kato Yusuke sighed, not wanting to argue with him anymore, he opened his mouth and ate the porridge.

  Ying Lili pulled back the spoon and asked intentionally, "Is it delicious?"

  Kato Yusuke chewed the porridge in his mouth, and replied vaguely: "It's okay..."

   "Hmph, it's all your fault for saying that kind of irritating thing, so maybe it will infect you with a cold~?"

  The girl in front of her eyes snickered maliciously, stuck out her tongue cutely, and her eyes were bent into crescent moons.
