Love Healing Manual

Chapter 61 Charming
After doing all that, he found a dry towel and placed it on his senior's pillow. To make it easier to take care of her, Lin Ze lifted a corner of the bed curtains, revealing space where he could crawl around.

Because of his height, the small bed with the canopy covering Kitagawa Ayane easily bumped into his head, so Lin Ze could only crouch down.

He did everything methodically. After laying out the towel, he turned around and picked up his senior in his arms. The pungent smell of milk immediately hit him. Lin Ze helplessly curled his lips, feeling a little annoyed. If she had been more obedient, this situation wouldn't have happened.

After carrying my senior to bed.

He went to the shower room to boil water and fumbled around for a while before figuring out how to use the combined bathroom and kitchen unit in this one-bedroom apartment.

Lin Ze then searched for medicine in the room, and fortunately, he found a thermometer in the bedside drawer.

After a while.

Lin Ze crouched down beside the bed. He looked at his senior, who was wrapped up like a rice dumpling with only her face showing. Her lips were gradually turning less purple, indicating that the warmth that had been lost from her body was returning.

"Pray she doesn't get a fever, or she'll feel awful for days," Lin Ze murmured, looking at his senior's face.

Lin Ze lifted the covers, reached his hand inside, found his senior's arm, and placed the thermometer under her armpit.

The most important thing now is to lower her pain threshold.

Lin Ze rubbed his hands together to make them warmer, then carefully placed them on Kitagawa Ayane's lower abdomen and began to massage them earnestly. With his other hand, he parted her hair and pressed some acupoints on both sides of her head to relieve the tension in her mind, even in her sleep.

Lin Ze's movements were very practiced; he had tried them countless times.

His previous treatments had given him enough experience to know which acupoints could lower the pain threshold most quickly. After massaging her lower abdomen for a while, Lin Ze turned to gently press her temples with both hands.

The senior student lay on the bed, her expression occasionally shifting slightly. Her brows furrowed and relaxed with each massage, her breathing gradually became even and less turbulent, and her trembling body calmed down.

The blackout bed curtains cast shadows, revealing half of her face in the soft light.

This time.

Lin Zecai quietly observed his senior for the first time.

He had always thought Kitagawa Ayane was a very strange person. It was clear that everything she did went against the principles that Lin Ze adhered to in life. Logically speaking, he should dislike such a person.

The only advantage is that the other party is not inherently bad.

However, her ability to work hard, have faith, persevere, endure a life of poverty, and face suffering with strength are not enough to overcome her shortcomings—she doesn't love herself.

Yes.

Lin Ze did not think she was a self-loving person.

Aside from all that, she always inadvertently reveals a charming and adorable side.

This is what's even more annoying.
While I was disciplining her, I saw those pitiful, tearful dog eyes.

Think of this.

Lin Ze looked at Kitagawa Ayane's trembling eyelashes.

Forget it.

You should never be soft-hearted.

No matter what, this mistake is unforgivable. Within controllable limits, Lin Ze decided to teach her a lesson this time. Even if the dog kneels on the ground and bows, he won't give it a second glance.

……

After a lot of work.

He saw that his pain threshold was finally decreasing.

She quickly recovered from the critical red level and gradually dropped to level 7, then to level 5. By this time, her physical condition had improved, and Lin Ze couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

My worries were relieved.

The most fortunate thing is that when we took out the thermometer, we saw that she did not have a fever.

He picked up the glass of water that had cooled down a bit.

Driven by a complex mix of emotions, Lin Ze didn't gently wake his senior. Instead, he pinched her cheeks, turning her lips into goldfish mouths, and kneaded them back and forth a few times.

"Um……"

Kitagawa Ayane frowned, struggled slightly, and let out an unhappy groan from her throat.

Lin Ze continued his violence.

After tormenting his senior for a while, he sat down on the edge of the bed and helped her sit up by supporting her back.

"Open your mouth and drink a couple of sips of water," Lin Ze whispered. Kitagawa Ayane didn't open her eyes, but when the water touched her lips, she subconsciously pursed her lips and her throat bobbed twice. Lin Ze didn't dare to feed her too much, and only forced a few sips down her throat.

Do it all.

I helped my senior back to bed.

Lin Ze stretched his back; his legs were a little numb from squatting by the bed for so long.

I took out my phone and glanced at the time.

9:58 PM.

He had sneaked out. Because of the rain, the shop closed early at night, and Lin Yuning had already gone to rest on the second floor. However, Lin Ze definitely had to go home, otherwise his aunt would not have allowed him to stay outside all night.

The task of taking care of the senior student is complete.

Lin Ze decided not to stay any longer. He turned off the lights in the one-bedroom apartment and picked up his coat.

As I reached the door, it suddenly occurred to me.

He hadn't closed the curtain he'd lifted for his senior, and the air conditioner was still on.

Lin Ze returned.

He turned off the air conditioner first, then took the hook next to the curtain by the bedside, and took one last look at Kitagawa Ayane in the dim light of his phone.

She looked peacefully asleep, and Lin Ze thought she looked much cuter than usual.

She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.

Lin Ze turned around.

next second.

He had just taken a step, preparing to leave.

Sudden.

Kitagawa Ayane's hand emerged from under the covers and accurately grabbed his hand, pulling him back.

Lin Ze was suddenly taken aback.

The warmth of his hand was palpable, yet that delicate, boneless little hand now possessed a distinct strength, gripping two of his fingers.

The entire one-bedroom apartment was dimly lit, and his figure was blurry because the lights were off.

But in the darkness, there are two hands clasped together.

He silently lowered his eyes.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and all was quiet.

Lin Ze could clearly feel how tightly she was pulling, as if she were grabbing a vine on a cliff, so tightly that his fingers ached.

He turned around, squatted down again, and carefully pried Kitagawa Ayane's hand away, tucking her arm back into the blankets, and then tucked the blankets in.

Since she has a soft heart, there's no need to pretend to be strong all the time. People can only let their guard down when they're asleep. It seems that the senior student lacks a sense of security.

He thought about it and realized that perhaps the only solution was time.

It will heal slowly over time.

Lin Ze got up and looked at her hazy face. His senior was sleeping without any guard, her expression as peaceful as an intricately carved porcelain doll, curled up in the warm quilt, her lips soft and moist, her nostrils rising and falling slightly in the quiet darkness.

Two strands of her hair, still damp from her earlier movements, were tangled at her temples and remained jet black.

Lin Ze suddenly wanted to help her brush the strands of hair from her forehead, so he carefully reached out and gently brushed them aside a couple of times, revealing her smooth forehead.

As night fell, everything became hazy, even blurring the edges of the walls.

He suddenly felt the same way he did when he was alone in the equipment room at noon, and his heart was filled with tenderness.

Lin Ze stood up again.

suddenly.

The entire one-bedroom apartment suddenly lit up, with a soft, diffused light shining on the ceiling. Before he could even react, the light illuminated his face.
