Chapter 57
Akatsuki Nagisa
The place where Akira Kojou's younger sister, Akira Nagisa, lives is the same place where Aiba Asagi's mother lives.
They are all at the MAR Research Institute.
Akatsuki's mother is the chief researcher at the MAR Medical Department and a clinical magic physician, which is why Akatsuki Nagisa can receive treatment here.
When they arrived at the MAR Research Institute, it was Akira's turn to lead the way.
Surprisingly, the gatekeeper didn't stop anyone this time, not even Yase Motoki. However, apart from Akatsuki Kojo, everyone knew exactly how comfortable he was.
Xiaogucheng wasn't the type to pay attention to such details.
Shichen and Lan Yuqian walked behind, and he couldn't help but lean close to her ear and whisper, "Qiancong, are you coming along too? Aren't you going to see Auntie?"
"Hmm..." Asagi looked straight ahead, her face slightly flushed.
The warm breath that drifted over her ear made her heart race, but she was too embarrassed to show it.
"Mom is fine now. Let's go see Xiao's little sister first."
"You really are a gentle and considerate girl. You'll definitely make a good wife in the future," Shi Chen said with a smile.
"Wife?!" Asagi Lanyu panicked for a moment.
"Does the teacher like gentle girls?"
"Hmm..." Shi Chen thought for a moment and replied, "I like gentle girls, but I'm more attracted to sparkly girls."
"Sparkling?" Asagi looked at him in confusion.
"Yes, I mean a lively, cheerful, and energetic girl, preferably someone who's particularly dazzling," Shi Chen explained.
"Is...is that so?" Asagi Aoba's tone was weak, and her shoulders slumped slightly.
After all, she looked rather gloomy and indifferent with her black-rimmed glasses, which was completely opposite to what Shi Chen had said.
However, she was not discouraged, since she had dressed up like this on purpose.
Is it dazzling?
"Teacher Shi, we've arrived."
Not long after they left, Shichen and the others followed Xiao Gucheng to the door of a hospital room.
This place is quite far from Aiba Asagi's mother's ward, it's a bit far out, but that's normal.
No matter how amazing Akatsuki's mother is, she can't compare to Aiba Asagi's father.
But the medical technology they enjoy is the same.
Xiao Gucheng did not hesitate and pushed open the door to the ward.
"Ah! Kojo, you're finally here! You have no idea how bored I've been all day. I couldn't even eat what I wanted, and all I could do was lie in bed. It was so boring! I want to go to school! I don't want to stay here! I'm so bored! I'm really okay now! By the way, Kojo, why did you take so long to get here...? Huh? Who are they?"
As soon as the door opened, a clear, girlish voice rattled off a long string of words like a machine gun.
Shichen knew that Xiaonagisa was a chatterbox, but in reality, he still underestimated how talkative she was.
His gaze swept past Xiaogu City, and Shichen saw a girl sitting on the hospital bed in a duck-like position. Her face was very young, and although she looked a little different from the image in his mind, she wasn't too different.
The girl's hair was loose, and she was wearing a blue and white hospital gown. She was a little petite, but her complexion was rosy and she looked very healthy, not sick at all.
The girl was staring at them blankly, feeling both annoyed and embarrassed.
"Nagisa, I'm here." Kojou Akatsuki led the way into the ward.
When they went in, the once spacious ward suddenly felt much smaller.
"The ancient city, who are they?" Akina asked softly, becoming reserved again at this moment.
After all, they were all strangers.
"Nagisa, let me introduce you."
Seeing that his younger sister was alright, Xiao Gucheng was relieved and introduced Shichen and the others with a smile.
"He is Yase Motoki, the classmate I told you about who suddenly started hanging out with me."
"Oh~ Hello, Yase-senpai."
"Hey, hey, hey, Kojo, what do you mean by suddenly coming over? I was just trying to be nice and talk to you since you transferred here and don't know anyone here, okay?" Yase Motoki retorted, then immediately smiled and greeted Akatsuki Nagisa, "Nagisa-chan, hello there~"
"Don't you dare get close to Nagisa!"
"You're such a siscon!"
"I'm not!"
"Hmph~ You know perfectly well whether it's true or not."
"I can't be bothered with you... Nagisa, this is Motoki's childhood friend, her name is Aiba Asagi."
"Hello, Nagisa-chan." Asagi Aiba nodded gently.
"Oh~ Hello, Sister Lan Yu, did you wear glasses on purpose?" Xiao Nagisa stared excitedly at Lan Yu Asagi.
"Huh?" Asagi Aiba was taken aback.
"I can tell that Lan Yu is very pretty. Is it because you don't want to be harassed by the men in your class?" Xiao Nagisa asked.
"Ah, um... more or less." Asagi Lanyu nodded shyly, glancing at the time out of the corner of her eye.
"Hmm?" Akina noticed her little action, blinked, and looked at Shichen curiously.
"Ancient City, who is this handsome older brother?"
"Handsome older brother..." Xiao Gucheng forced a smile, his expression a little stiff, but still introduced, "He is our PE teacher."
"A PE teacher?" Akina Gisa became even more excited for no apparent reason.
"Hi Nagisa-chan," Tokishi greeted her with a smile.
"Teacher Shi, hello." Xiao Nagisa was a little embarrassed.
"Ancient City, Teacher Shi is so handsome."
"..." Xiao Gucheng's expression turned even uglier.
"Haha, you still say you're not a siscon? You're jealous, aren't you?" Yase Motoki immediately pointed it out.
"You're so annoying!" Akatsuki Kojou glared at him and retorted, "Who's jealous!"
"Don't deny it."
"You're so annoying!"
"Are you getting angry because you're embarrassed?"
"Shut up!"
"You two! Can you stop arguing? This is a hospital room, can't you consider how I, the patient, feel?" Just then, Akinagi suddenly interrupted and scolded the two.
"Well......"
"sorry."
Akinagisa had a rather imposing aura, and her youthful face was very serious, which made the two big boys inexplicably afraid.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Shi, that's just how Kojo is, please don't mind him." Akinagisa immediately smiled at Shichen again.
"It's alright, I'm used to it." Shi Chen waved his hand with a smile.
"That's good... Kojo, apologize to Teacher Shi now!" Akina glared at Akina Kojo.
"..." Xiao Gucheng looked at his younger sister in disbelief.
The difference in attitude before and after is too great?
His sister actually forgot her brother for the sake of a pretty face!
"Teacher Shi..." Xiao Gucheng looked at Shi Chen with a resentful expression.
"Ancient city—" Akinasa's tone turned serious when she saw his expression.
"...I'm sorry." Kojou Akatsuki bowed his head in resignation.
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Shichen waved his hand cheerfully: "Nagisa-chan, I don't mind. I quite like lively atmosphere too."
"Is that so? That's good." Akinagi smiled happily.
Aiba Asagi squinted, staring at Akatsuki Nagisa with a somewhat unfriendly look.
What's wrong with this little girl?
Akina noticed Aiba Asagi's gaze and smiled slightly at her.
"..." Asagi Aiba frowned.
"Nagisa, hurry up and sit down, you're not done yet," Akatsuki urged worriedly.
"What are you talking about, Kojo? Do I look like something's wrong?" Akina patted her chest. "Look, I'm perfectly healthy, nothing's wrong with me."
"But......"
"Don't worry, I really didn't... um!"
Suddenly, Akina's expression changed, and she froze. Then, like a doll that had lost its strings, she collapsed onto the bed.
"Nagisa!" Akatsuki Kojo cried out in alarm and rushed to the bedside.
"Nagisa? What's wrong with you? Don't scare me, Nagisa!"
No matter how much Kojou called out, Nagisa did not respond.
"Go get the doctor quickly!" Yase Motoki hurriedly reminded him.
"Yes, doctor..." Xiao Gucheng hurriedly got up and prepared to leave the ward.
"Wait a minute," Shi Chen said, pressing him down.
"Teacher?" Akatsuki stared at him blankly.
"Let me take a look first." Shi Chen walked to the bedside with a serious face and looked Xiao Nagisa up and down.
"Teacher, what are you going to do..."
"Don't disturb Teacher Shi!" Asagi Aiba shouted.
"Huh?"
"Let the teacher take a look first; maybe he can save your sister."
"R-Really?" Akatsuki asked Tokiko excitedly.
"I already told you not to bother the teacher, just trust him."
"Oh, oh, oh." Xiao Gucheng calmed down and stared at the time with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
Yase Motoki, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow, looking at his childhood friend in disbelief.
This doesn't look right.
Lan Yuqian didn't pay attention to him; her attention was entirely focused on Shichen.
