"So, is Mr. Nanami okay now?" I looked around and no one else was there.

"Yeah." Xia Youjie reached into the fruit basket on the table, picked out an apple, and peeled it carefully. "He's full of energy. If you ask him to fight a few cursed spirits now, there will be no problem at all."

That's good. I feel a little relieved.

"What about the others?"

"Noseko went to catch up on her sleep, and Satoru was called away by Mr. Yagata. The first-years are on a mission, and I don't know if they've returned yet."

......

It feels like we are the only two with the most free time.

No, if you remove the word "seem", then we two will be the ones with the most free time.

Xia Yujie is almost done peeling his apples.

As his hands moved, the red, round apple was gradually peeling off its outer skin, revealing the plump flesh inside.

Some juice splashed on Geto Suguru's slender fingers, and the fragrance of the apple wafted over.

It seems... I'm a little thirsty.

I swallowed.

"Where did this fruit basket come from?"

He glanced at me and said as he was peeling, "Those kids brought it here yesterday."

I was still in a coma at that time.

Xia Yujie had some skills. The skin was peeled off completely, and there was only a thin layer, like a cicada's wing.

The sunlight from outside the window shines in and can actually pass through.

I looked at him and held out my hand expectantly.

Isn’t this kind of plot often seen in TV dramas?

The protagonist was sick, and her family and friends sat by her bed and peeled apples for her.

But it would be even better if it was cut into the shape of rabbit ears.

however……

"Who said it was for you?" Xia Yujie picked up the apple, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

A crisp sound was heard, the flesh was bitten open in his mouth, and the sweet fruit juice flowed out.

I can’t even imagine how delicious it is!

Me: Stare...

It would have been fine if he hadn't peeled it for me, but he actually ate it so happily.

Noticing my resentful look, Xia Youjie sighed, "It's not that I'm stingy and won't give you food."

He pulled out a box of incubators from under the bed.

"You have been unconscious for so long and just woke up. It is winter now and you cannot eat raw or cold food."

When I opened the lid, there was a bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge inside.

The smell of lean meat mixed with the fragrance of vegetables, plus the original taste of rice porridge, intertwined together and floated from the bowl to me.

I touched the outer wall of the bowl and it felt warm. It was just the right temperature to drink from it now.

After drinking the salty porridge, my stomach was immediately warmed up.

A warm current seemed to flow through my body, and I felt that my strength was gradually returning.

It's you, Xia Youjie, a male mother who raised two daughters by herself.

I held the bowl in my hands, tears of emotion coming out.

“Jay, wuwuwuwuwuwu,” I said, “I will never say bad things about you behind your back again.”

"And never say your eyes are small again."

Xia Youjie's mouth twitched: "You said my eyes are small?"

"Are you still saying bad things about me behind my back?"

I paused...

Oh, I didn’t say it in front of him…

I have always been secretly against him.

“Uh, hahahaha…” I laughed awkwardly twice and timidly drank two more mouthfuls of porridge before I dared to say, “These are not the main points. The main point is that I won’t do this again…hahahaha…”

So guilty.

"It's okay if you want to go out." Xia Youjie took out a thick down jacket: "Put this on before you go out."

Me: “…I just slept for two days, I wasn’t dead for two days…”

"Put it on." He was very insistent, as if he would not let me go out unless I wore it.

I had no choice but to let him put this super thick down jacket weighing five pounds on me.

Only after I walked outside did I understand why he was like that.

The temperature in Tokyo has dropped, and the temperature outside has reached below zero. When you breathe out, there will be white mist floating in the air.

"Ms. Getsuyu!" A loud voice sounded from behind.

Maki ran towards me carrying a cursed tool on her back, followed by Otsutsuki, Gomaki and Panda.

"Are you okay?" She frowned and looked me up and down, as if to confirm my condition: "The other day Miss Jiaru brought you back, you were covered in wounds."

"It's okay." I shook my head: "I'm fully recovered now."

"As expected of a female hero who killed three special-class fishes by herself." Panda raised her thumb, and Gojuan nodded and said, "Salmon."

I guess this probably means approval.

"By the way, thank you for the fruit basket. Are the fruits carefully selected?"

"It was Goujuan who picked it. He seems to be particularly good at identifying the quality of fruits." said Panda.

"Pickled fish roe."

They all looked exhausted and were wearing school uniforms. Maki's clothes were stained by the remains of cursed spirits and her hair was a little messy. The rest of them were not much better, probably because they had just returned.

I asked, "You just came back from a mission? Did everything go well?"

"Not bad." Panda made a gesture of cutting a neck: "You Tai blew the cursed spirit's head in one go."

Otsutsuki was standing next to him, looking embarrassed by the praise.

"Hey." Maki said unhappily, "You make it sound like it's all his credit. We also contributed a lot."

"It's so hard." I said, "How can you kids be asked to do tasks so late at night?"

This sentence is a sincere complaint. The world of sorcery is really inhumane and they just take advantage of the students who have no way to resist.

Hearing me say this, she became happy again: "It's not hard, we asked to go on our own initiative."

However, she still treated Geto Suguru rudely. She glanced at him and turned her head to the other side.

Yuta added from behind her: "Today is already the 30th, and tomorrow night is New Year's Eve. Teacher Gojo said he would hold a party at school. In order to have some free time, we plan to finish all the accumulated tasks."

"New Year's Eve?" I was stunned: "Yes, today is already the 30th..."

Five days have passed since I came into this world.

But I feel like a long time has passed.

"We have a mission to do next, so we'll leave first." Several people bowed to me, and before leaving, Maki said, "Please be sure to come to tomorrow's New Year's Eve event, it will be very lively!"

After saying that, she glanced at Xia Youjie coldly again, snorted, and walked away.

I touched the back of my head and looked at their backs as they left, playing and laughing. I sighed: "This is youth..."

Xia Youjie said coldly, "You are only a little older than them. You look old and frail. Ye Moth hasn't said anything yet."

Will the moth be happy to hear what you said?

"After this meeting, I felt like they respected me a lot more!"

Maki still calls me Miss Getsuyu, but the last time we met she just called me hello.

"Maybe you saved Nanami, and they are grateful." He stood next to me, also looking at the children who were walking away: "They respect Nanami very much."

Speaking of Nanami, I was silent for a moment: "It wasn't me who saved him, it was me who dragged him down."

"If Nanami thought that, she wouldn't have sent you flowers."

"Too."

The cursed spirit has already been killed, there is no point in worrying about it.

So I turned to ask Xia Youjie: "Will you go there tomorrow?"

"How can I not go?" He said faintly, "Have you also forgotten this thing on my neck?"

I looked at the choker. Actually, it felt a bit astringent when worn on his neck, which gave it a visual abstinence feel.

Most of the time he wore clothes with high collars, with only a small part of his body exposed, which caused me to often forget about it.

It seems that it has indeed caused a lot of inconvenience to his life. Look at this resentful little look~

But why did he say "also"?
