Ugh, wasn't the Awakening System supposed to make me the main character?

For some reason, the smile that was supposed to be used to appease a sycophant looked so captivating on Chiyomi's face that it was mesmerizing.

But then, I suddenly felt a chill run through my body, and for a moment I had a bad feeling.

Oh no, did I fail to become a simp?

No, I shouldn't! I've been so proactive and so eager to please, I shouldn't have failed to get the position.

You should know that if you're too proactive and too attentive, you'll just become a simp.

Thinking of this, my panicked heart calmed down a little, and I nodded and walked outside.

As I arrived at the cafeteria, I was met with many stares, which was nothing new for me.

Unlike previous gender-swapped protagonists, after becoming like this, I actually have no resistance to all kinds of cute clothes and skirts for girls. On the contrary, I often deliberately dress myself up to be cute.

Hmph, even if she turns into a cute girl, even if she wears a cute little dress, it still won't affect the heart of this old man!

And it is precisely because I have such a cute face and don't neglect to dress up that I often attract the attention of passersby wherever I go.

I searched among the passersby, afraid of being discovered by those wicked women.

They were especially careful after they had prepared food for me and Qianyin.

I was caught by Ning Xueyang when I was making medicine for Qianyin at noon today. Now I don't want any of them to see me carrying a packed meal for two, otherwise they will definitely come up and ask what's going on, and that will be difficult to deal with.

Halfway through the journey, I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a chill all over my body.

Could it be that they came right after I thought that? With that thought, I immediately stopped and looked around.

Fortunately, I wasn't as unlucky as I had imagined. After looking around, I didn't see any dangerous people, so I dared to continue.

Why did I suddenly feel a chill all over my body just now?

I was a little confused, but considering the current situation, I figured it was best to get to the office as soon as possible, so I stopped thinking about it.

I arrived at the office smoothly in no time.

Chizuru was still lying on her desk in the office, doing nothing, not even playing on her phone.

It seems like she's sick and doesn't have the energy for it.

Noticing my movement, Chizuru raised her head again, her gaze filled with joy as she looked at me.

They're probably happy because they have food to eat.

If she reacted that way because her feelings for me have increased, then wouldn't that be helping her get better...?

Thinking about this, I suddenly felt a tightness between my legs.

I think it shouldn't be like that. Thinking back to how Se Se was always blocked by her delaying tactics, I don't think the situation I fear the most will happen.

Thinking of this, I picked up the food I had just packed from the cafeteria and walked over to Qianyin's desk. "Wow, you're back!"

Chiyomi, who had been starving for a long time, looked at me with eyes that seemed to be shining.

Meeting Qianyin's gaze, I placed the things on her table and muttered a complaint, "Hmph, of course! I bought so many, I'll be exhausted if I carry them any longer, and they cost me a lot of money!"

I put my hands on my hips and looked at the things I had placed on the table. Since this was for two people, it was exhausting to carry them all back.

"So many, hehe~ I didn't expect you to care about me so much."

After saying that, Qianyin, like a little girl, eagerly opened the bag and looked at the dishes inside.

When Qianyin said that, for some reason, I suddenly felt a little shy, and a faint blush appeared on my cheeks.

Hmph! I'm not concerned about you at all! I just want to establish a good image as a lapdog in your eyes so you won't make a move on me!

Really! Don't disbelieve me! I have absolutely no reason to care about you, you idiot; it's all just to achieve my goal!

But I can only keep these words to myself, because I can't tell Chiyomi my purpose yet.

Thinking of this, I puffed out my cheeks sullenly and found a stool to sit next to Qianyin.

227. Maybe I can even force myself on Chiyomi!

The bell finally rang, and I walked out of the classroom as if I had lost my soul.

This afternoon's classes are really unbearable; I almost fell asleep while standing there.

However, perhaps because of this state of affairs, the students didn't seem to be sleepy during class.

You know, before I was reborn like this, the most outrageous thing I did was when half of my students were sleepy. But unless it was a particularly important class, I would usually turn a blind eye.

Ah, after all, you're sleepy, and so am I.

After finishing my afternoon classes, there's really nothing else to do today.

So, how is Chiyomi doing now?

Hmph, it's not that I care about her, I just want to establish myself as a simp!

With that in mind, I quickened my pace and soon arrived at the office.

Pushing open the door, I saw that Qianyin seemed to be in a worse state than when I left. She was lying on the table, doing nothing, just staring blankly ahead, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

Well, in this situation, as a simp, I certainly can't just stand by and watch; I have to hurry over and offer my concern!

With that in mind, I walked towards her.

Before I even got close, she noticed my approach and her gaze fell on me, filled with a hint of expectation.

I met her gaze, a slight smile blooming on my fair face, and finally stopped beside her.

"What's wrong? Why do you seem like you've gone back to the way you were before after only a short time apart? And why aren't you sleeping?"

"Ugh, I can't sleep..."

Qianyin looked up at me, puffed out her cheeks, and her melancholy gaze resembled that of a sickly princess.

Well, it does feel a bit strange to use that description on Chiyomi...

"I feel extremely dizzy, why can't I sleep?"

"I feel a little cold, and I need to hold you to fall asleep."

Tsk, why are you hugging me again!

Judging from Qianyin's current reaction, it doesn't seem like she's speaking, which puts me in a bit of a dilemma.

Recalling how Chizuru fell asleep after only holding me for a short while, I thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

After all, they've done so much already, and painstakingly built up their image as a sycophant; they can't let it all go to waste just because they want to refuse him here.

However, it's not easy to do the opposite here, which caused Qianyin's favorability towards me to increase quite a bit?

In that case, wouldn't I be in even more danger than I am now?

Oh dear, what a mess. No way, if that were really the case, after sleeping together for so long, Chiin would have had a chance to make a move on me already. Why wouldn't she have done nothing?

Thinking of this, I felt much more at ease and nodded in agreement.

But for some reason, I always have a feeling that something big is about to happen.

But as for what exactly it is, I can't say, which is very strange.

"Alright then, since you're cold, I'll let you sleep in my arms for a while."

"Mmm~ Hehe~"

Seeing that I agreed, Qianyin's lips curled into a pleasant smile.

For some reason, my feeling that something was wrong became even stronger at this time.

However, thinking about how she hadn't taken advantage of the opportunity before, I suppressed my unease again.

Chiyomi leaned back against the chair, while I sat in her lap, shifting my position and letting her hold me.

The moment her body was embraced, a faint rose fragrance wafted from Chiyane.

Surrounded by this fragrant scent, and feeling rather sleepy, I soon drifted off to sleep in Chiyomi's arms.

I slept very soundly, and when I woke up, a long time had probably passed.

I rubbed my eyes, shook my slightly dizzy head, and then looked around.

Several teachers had already packed up and were standing at the door, ready to leave. I glanced at the sun's position and saw it was almost on the horizon. I immediately checked the time and, sure enough, it was almost time to get off work.

My movements also caused a commotion to come from Qianyin's side; she let out a soft hum, which drew my attention.

When my gaze fell on her, she was also staring at me.

Even at this moment, I still couldn't help but ask her a question.

"Are you feeling better? Are you still in pain?"

Chizuru seemed to want to say something, but then seemed to think of something and didn't speak immediately.

After hesitating for a moment, she frowned slightly, covered her head, and answered me, "Yeah, I still feel a little uncomfortable, but it's much better now."

"Oh, I see. That's good then."

Hearing that Qianyin's illness had improved a lot, I felt much more relaxed.

That way, I can retire with my success immediately!

I just don't know why Chizuru only showed her illness after a while.
