Ichika looked at Hayakawa somewhat shyly: "Can I drink this water?"

"Well... we've finished flushing it."

Hayakawa glanced at Ichika's wound, hesitated for a moment, and handed it over, saying, "But I've already drunk this water."

"it's okay no problem."

Ichika readily took the bottle and drank most of the remaining half-full of water in one gulp: "Thank you, you've been a great help."

"It seems you are indeed thirsty,"

Hayakawa looked at Ichika and thought to himself, "You might have fainted because of dehydration."

"It wasn't fainting, it was just a fall."

Ichika couldn't help but retort, feeling embarrassed and annoyed. She didn't want to be known as delicate and weak at school, so she changed the subject, saying, "Let's not talk about that for now. What are you going to do about the floor? It's all wet. The school doctor will scold you when he sees this."

Hayakawa glanced at the water on the ground and said nonchalantly, "We can just mop it up when we leave. There's a mop behind the door."

"That's it,"

Ichika blinked and smiled, saying, "Then I'll help you then."

"I regret to decline."

Hayakawa said expressionlessly, "I was already grateful that you were able to walk back to the classroom by yourself back then. You didn't need to help me."

Hayakawa's words were clearly sarcastic, and Ichika had no way to refute them, so she could only glare angrily at the person in front of her.

"Don't waste your time,"

Hayakawa said in a cold tone, then took out disinfectant alcohol, iodine, and gauze from the first-aid kit and said, "I'll disinfect it for you quickly, then bandage it up, and you should be able to walk on your own."

"Ok."

Ichika nodded quickly, blushing as she stretched her leg out to Hayakawa.

Hayakawa reluctantly dipped his finger in the alcohol and carefully applied it to Ichika's wound.

"hiss…"

This time the pain was much more pronounced; the grating, needle-like stinging sensation made Ichika clench her teeth, yet she still couldn't help but let out a tiny sound.

"You really can't stand even the slightest pain."

Seeing this, Hayakawa reluctantly sped up and soon began applying iodine.

Ichika breathed a sigh of relief, panting slightly, and said defiantly, "There's nothing I can do, it hurts so much."

"..."

Hayakawa remained silent, then wrapped Ichika's wound with medical gauze, tying it into a simple and neat knot after several wraps. After examining it carefully, she said, "It's healed."

"Oh, that's pretty good!"

Ichika looked at her legs, her eyes brightening slightly, and said with a smile, "Hayakawa-kun's cooking skills are quite good. Did you learn it before?"

"No."

Hayakawa stood up and dusted off his legs.

"Then why are you so good at treating injuries?"

Ichika tried to get off the bed, but Hayakawa reached out and pressed her back down. She could only ask a question out of curiosity.

"I've been living alone for a long time."

Hayakawa put the box back: "I got hurt occasionally, so I learned how to do it."

"Your reason... is really strange."

Ichika's eye twitched slightly: "I don't know whether to say that Hayakawa-kun is pitiful or what."

"You're being a bit noisy."

Hayakawa coldly instructed, "Try not to get it wet before the scab forms, otherwise it may leave a scar. If there are any signs of infection, go to the hospital immediately."

"Oh, alright."

Ichika nodded hurriedly, glanced at the gauze on her leg, and smiled radiantly, saying, "Thank you, Hayakawa."

Hayakawa lowered his eyes and put his hands in his pockets, saying, "It's nothing."

"I'll treat you to milk tea next time."

Ichika thought for a moment and smiled, "It's not to thank you for treating my wound, it's for this~"

Ichika shook the water bottle in her hand and winked playfully at Hayakawa, clearly joking.

However, such girlish jokes had no effect on Hayakawa, who was hard-hearted and single-minded.

"It's just a bottle of water, there's no need for that."

Hayakawa glanced at the water bottle and said expressionlessly, "Besides, I never drink milk tea. It's too sweet, and I don't like the taste."

Ichika: "..."

What's wrong with this man? Why is he so direct... Doesn't he know basic social etiquette?

"Then I'll go."

Hayakawa turned around and handed the sheet he had placed on the table to Ichika: "Here's your sheet. I brought it back because you didn't complete the 800-meter test. Don't lose it, you'll have to hand it in later."

"Oh, alright."

Yihua hurriedly took it, only to find another sheet on the table with Hayakawa's photo on it, which was obviously Hayakawa's physical test results.

"Huh? Is this your physical exam report, Hayakawa?"

Ichika looked at the paper with some confusion, then looked at Hayakawa and said, "Didn't you finish the test? Why didn't you hand it in?"

Hayakawa's face darkened: "When I brought you here, there were still a few minor tests that hadn't been done, so I brought mine back as well."

"so…"

Ichika's eyes widened slightly, and she smiled a little: "You have to retake the exam too?"

Hayakawa, utterly dejected, silently turned her head away: "It'll be during the first PE class after the holidays..."

Ichika: "Pfft~"

"This is the first time in my life I've had to retake an exam,"

Hayakawa tried to maintain his usual expressionless poker face, but a look of humiliation and dejection crept in, and he clenched the paper tightly, bowing his head slightly as he said, "This is truly a disgrace for life..."

It was indeed a lifelong disgrace for Hayakawa.

The postponement of the physical fitness test is a trivial matter for any student, but it is not for Hayakawa.

Chapter 237 Nino likes…

That was humiliation, ugliness, defeat, a wound that Emperor Ichinose could not accept.

Because... if a physical fitness test item is not taken the first time, it will be recorded as a failure in that item's score, and it will only be changed after the test is repeated.

Failed...

Failed!!

Although I don't want to say it, Hayakawa has never failed a grade since he awakened in elementary school. The word "failure" is simply not in his dictionary, nor should it exist!

but now…

It seems that a stain called "failing" is about to appear on his brilliant resume.

Hayakawa: "..."

Aaaaaaah, kill me! Kill me!

My temple, my temple has been defiled!

It hurts...it hurts so much!

Hayakawa appeared expressionless, but his heart had been deeply wounded. A tearing pain flowed from his soul to his entire body, making it difficult for him to breathe.

The once-mighty Hayakawa Emperor was full of vigor and aimed for perfection. Even when facing an invincible enemy, he was not discouraged and believed that no effort would be wasted. So he worked hard and waited with anticipation for the day when he would emerge from his cocoon and become a butterfly.

And now, the first red cross is about to appear on his report card, and he has to take a makeup exam…

I have to take a make-up exam! Oh my god, am I in some parallel universe?

My efforts resulted in... failing the exam.

As Hayakawa thought about this, his face darkened even more; he couldn't accept such a cruel reality.

"Ahahaha~"

Seeing Hayakawa's expression, Ichika thought he was joking and couldn't help but laugh, her supple waist bending slightly.

That laugh was quite something; it was like waves of milk rising and clothes trembling. If it were someone with a weak will, they would either instantly freeze or explode. Luckily, it was Hayakawa, who aspires to become an emperor, who was here. If it were an ordinary high school boy, he probably would have already taken his pants off.

"..."

Hayakawa was preoccupied and had no time to pay attention to Ichika's chest. He only glanced at it before lowering his head and looking dejected, like a middle-aged office worker who had just been fired from his job.

"Uh…"

Ichika was slightly taken aback by Hayakawa's expression and leaned closer: "Hayakawa-kun? Are you really unhappy?"

Hayakawa remained silent, pretending he hadn't heard anything.

Ichika quietly observed Hayakawa's expression, then lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"nothing,"

Hayakawa's disappointment subsided slightly, and she shook her head, saying, "You didn't want to fall, and you can make up for it in PE class when you come back from the holidays, so I don't care."

"Well…"

Upon hearing this, Ichika felt even more ashamed. Although she did not intend to fall, this fall did achieve her goal in a certain sense.

"I'll treat you to outings sometime."

Ichika said earnestly, "If you don't like milk tea, I can treat you to coffee. You don't not even drink coffee, do you?"

"I'm drinking this,"

Hayakawa nodded. Besides water, coffee was the only drink he could tolerate, because he often had to stay up late.

"That's good."

Ichika patted her chest in relief, then hesitated for a long time before whispering, "Hayakawa-san..."

Hayakawa looked over: "What's wrong?"

"You did that to my younger sister, Nino..."

Ichika bit her pink lips hard, but still managed to ask, "How did you see that?"

This question had been lingering in her mind for a long time. The reason she supported Yotsuba more than Nino was because she didn't want to see Yotsuba suffering because of her feelings.

Compared to Nino, Yotsuba is clearly more deeply in love. She has known Hayakawa since childhood and has fallen in love with him. The two are childhood friends, and she has never forgotten him since they separated. When they first met again in high school, she immediately recognized Hayakawa. If this feeling is not reciprocated and broken off, it is hard for Ichika to imagine what kind of hurt Yotsuba would suffer.

As for Nino's... to put it nicely, it was love at first sight; to put it bluntly, it was just lust at first sight. She saw that Hayakawa was handsome and had saved her, and her mind started to fantasize about a princess being rescued by a prince. She fell in love with him hopelessly, which was really unrealistic. You have to know that the two of them didn't know each other and hadn't gotten to know each other before they suddenly fell in love. Ichika thought it was really abnormal.

In Ichika's opinion, Nino's feelings are not much different from when she watches dating reality shows and excitedly shouts "I like you" to her idol. Compared to Yotsuba, Nino's feelings are like a castle in the air, a casual liking that could easily turn into indifference at any time.

That's why Ichika supports Yotsuba more, because she prefers Yotsuba's kind of relationship, which matches her own impression of love.

However, all of this is based on the premise that Hayakawa has no intention of reciprocating.

After all, strictly speaking, he was still doing something heartless. If Hayakawa had no feelings for Nino, then his actions were to help his sister. But what if Hayakawa also had feelings for Nino?

That would turn into Yotsuba being the wicked older sister, who insists on breaking up a couple who are clearly in love, and Yotsuba becoming the third party in the relationship.

So Ichika had always wanted to secretly ask Hayakawa what she thought of Nino, and if possible, she even wanted to subtly probe whether Hayakawa had any feelings for Yotsuba.

"Nino...?"

Hayakawa paused for a moment, then silently turned her head away: "Nino is very good, very gentle."

Your reaction is wrong.

Ichika's eye twitched slightly, her expression changed, and she stared blankly at Hayakawa.

Gentle? Who? Nino?
