In order to find the answer to this question, he tried moving his body.
However, his limbs did not respond so readily to the brain's commands.
We would probably have to go back to his life before he transmigrated to find a body as powerless as his current one.
His attempt ended with him rolling over.
A slight soreness in his throat was a protest against his lack of hydration.
Subconsciously, he looked for the glass of warm water that should be on the bedside table.
No matter the time, finding a glass of water to quench his thirst is an essential step in his first morning routine.
As for whether the water is cold or hot, whether it's leftover water or freshly poured...
He generally doesn't care, as long as the water container has a lid at night.
Although it's a rare occurrence for a twin-tailed fairy to visit, even if it did, the boy wouldn't know.
However, he generally wouldn't overlook dangers that could be easily avoided.
His university dormitory was quite tall, but each building only had a hot water room on the first floor.
Inferior quality water bottles from the school store
The temperature couldn't even be maintained overnight.
He generally wouldn't be willing to make an extra trip just to get a sip of hot water.
Therefore, he usually fetches water after returning to his dormitory from outside, and does so casually.
Having a hot drink in the morning is generally something that can't be done.
His stomach was protesting, and he had long since...
Since Xiangzi discovered his habit...
Every morning, when he sits up in bed
A glass of liquid at the right temperature will be handed to him.
Xiangzi remembered this habit that he had already formed.
That glass of warm water, like a young girl's kiss, signifies the start of a new day.
Since then, the frequency of his stomach upsets has greatly decreased.
Bringing his somewhat wandering thoughts back, Chen looked around at the unfamiliar furnishings in the room.
The lingering discomfort in his body gradually brought his somewhat hazy memories back to clarity.
Lixi...saw sick yesterday.
He took Lixi to Su Shi's house, and then let him get soaked in the rain for a while.
She borrowed the Su family's bathroom, then fainted from the soak, and was rescued by Su Shi...
He closed his eyes. His hands painfully rubbed his forehead and eyes.
This was absurd enough. Did he say something else to Su Shi that he shouldn't have afterward?
He couldn't quite remember what exactly was said.
At that time, due to his increasingly abnormal body, his thinking had become quite muddled.
In any case, given Miss Su Shi's emotional intelligence, she will surely be understanding and ignore what he said.
After figuring out his current situation, Chen removed his hands from his eyes.
Given the brightness inside, it's no longer possible to describe it as morning.
So, he slept at the Su family's house for one night?
Oh no, something terrible has happened!
After realizing this, he once again used his palm to block the light from his eyes.
He already angered Xiangzi yesterday, and as a result, he didn't come home last night!
Now, getting Xiangzi to forgive him is harder than climbing to heaven.
Not only that, there's also Miss Lixi's problem.
Yesterday, Miss Lixi's performance was so appalling.
He knew that those were the necessary growing pains.
If only he were a little more hard-hearted, if only he could just ignore Miss Lixi like that.
That obsession will soon vanish without a trace after Miss Lixi becomes disappointed in him.
Yes, that's the right decision.
And his softened heart, his greed...
This makes the course of events completely unpredictable.
A jumble of complex thoughts filled his mind.
"Ugh...."
No matter how many things you have to do, you must first address your physiological needs.
For example, go get a drink of water and then eat something.
He completely lost consciousness yesterday evening.
For more than ten hours, he didn't eat anything.
Slowly, he forced his weak body to sit up in bed.
His outer clothes from yesterday were displayed in a very conspicuous place.
And his cell phone
Dress neatly and turn on your phone screen.
The battery level wasn't far from full, so it seems someone charged it for him before.
Since it was at the Su family's residence, there's no doubt that it was Su Shi who helped him.
The screen showed 11:23, which wasn't far from noon.
Push open the door
An inexplicable silence filled Su Shi's home.
He looked down to the first floor.
Su Shi was nowhere to be seen in the large living room.
Today is Thursday, Su Shi should be at school.
No matter what, Su Shi wouldn't take leave from school just to take care of him.
For some reason, a sense of disappointment welled up in his heart.
I went into the living room and grabbed a handful of snacks that Miss Su Shi had prepared at home.
Miss Su Shi's home has a direct drinking water machine with a heating function.
He no longer needed to drink cold water despite his still somewhat uncomfortable throat.
Just as he was unwrapping the snacks, he heard the sound of a key turning at the front door.
Who would come to Su Shi's house at this time?
Could it be that Su Shi's mother has returned?
Turning around, he saw the blue-haired girl carrying two bags, and the action of putting a snack into his mouth abruptly stopped.
"Xiang, Xiangzi?!"
segmentation
Spending the night at the Sue family's house in Nagasaki was a first for Xiangzi as well.
Last night, as usual, she shared a room with Chen, while Su Shi and Li Xi rested in another room.
She didn't sleep very deeply throughout the night.
That preserved perception of the outside world
She left it to the boy lying beside her.
Prepare for his possible awakening at any time
However, this vigilance proved ineffective.
As always, Xiangzi woke up on time according to his weekday biological clock.
She went downstairs and used the ingredients in the refrigerator to make breakfast.
However, when she finished and returned to her room, the boy still hadn't woken up.
She had no intention of waking Chen.
Chen was enjoying a long, long sleep, something she couldn't bear to disrupt.
She took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Yili, could you help me and Chen ask for leave after you get to school?"
"No, no problem!"
But why so suddenly?
On the other end of the phone, Yili was somewhat puzzled.
Suddenly, a terrifying possibility appeared in her mind.
No, it can't be!
Could Xiangzi and Chen have already crossed that line? Is it because Xiangzi is too capable that Chen doesn't have the energy to come to school?
"Take care of yourself!"
She agreed to Xiangzi's request, and after leaving behind a strange instruction, she hung up the phone.
On the other end, Xiangzi stared at his phone screen, utterly puzzled by the inexplicable "take care of yourself."
Yili shouldn't know that Chen is sick, so why would she say something like "take care of yourself"?
Completely bewildered, Xiangzi took a while to realize what she had misunderstood.
Explaining this would only make things worse, and Xiangzi had no intention of calling back Yili to explain.
In terms of how relaxed one can be in private, Ichiri is much more capable than her.
Is it because Chen is sick?
It's not a good thing to let this pink-haired girl worry for nothing all morning.
Moreover, Miss Liang had already instructed her after she left yesterday.
Taking Chen to Fanxing on Thursday afternoon is a must.
There weren't enough ingredients for lunch.
With some time to spare before lunch, she picked up Chen's key to the Su family's house and headed to the nearby supermarket.
As she stood at the kitchen doorway, the boy's figure suddenly appeared.
She was at a loss for how to face it for a while.
After gazing at each other for a long time
Silently, she placed the ingredients.
Chen was unsure what Xiangzi was thinking right now.
Put down what you are holding
Hesitantly, he wrapped his arms around the girl's waist.
"Don't do this anymore."
Turning around, the blue-haired girl returned his embrace.
