"Hehe~ Isn't that touching?" Shichen raised his eyebrows, looking at Nanggong Nayue with a playful smile.
"..." Nanggong Nayue gave him an exasperated glare.
This guy, he only makes people touched for less than three seconds.
"Are you really okay?" she couldn't help but ask again.
"It's fine. Besides, compared to me, shouldn't your side be more troublesome?"
If Shichen's identity were exposed, Nanggong Nayue, who harbored him, would be in even more trouble. The people above would definitely interrogate her about the situation.
After all, the relationship between the two of them had long been understood by those with ulterior motives.
In this day and age, there were all sorts of people. Some brainless ones wanted to suppress her by relying on their status, enjoying the pleasure of being superior, while intelligent ones wanted to use this opportunity to curry favor with Shichen and satisfy their ambitions.
"You don't need to worry about my affairs. If you don't care, then just do as you please. Anyway, no one can deal with you," Nanggong Nayue replied calmly, unconcerned.
"What if someone tries to deal with you… Oh, right, no one can deal with you." Shichen thought of Nanggong Nayue's current situation and laughed.
"Alright, then I'll be going?"
"Don't you want to stay a bit longer?" Shichen looked at her reluctantly.
Meeting in such an unexpected setting, he inexplicably wanted to spend more time with Nanggong Nayue.
It was a pity Nanggong Nayue didn't share the sentiment: "What would I stay here for? I'm not familiar with your students."
"Alright…"
"I'm leaving."
"Wait a moment!" Shichen suddenly called out to Nanggong Nayue as she turned to leave.
"What…?" Just as Nanggong Nayue turned her head back, she felt a hand press down on her head and even ruffle it.
"...What are you doing?" she asked in a calm tone.
Shichen suppressed the corners of his mouth that wouldn't obey, and honestly replied, "Ahem, actually, I've wanted to do this for a long time."
"Heh~ Is that so?" Nanggong Nayue smiled without smiling. She couldn't see Shichen's face because his arm was blocking her view.
Shichen also couldn't see her face, but it didn't matter now. He was more concerned with the smooth sensation in his hand.
The small Nanggong Nayue, with her contrasting serious expression, created a strong contrast. What was most enticing was the head pat.
Every day he spent with her, Shichen suppressed his desires, but today he had the courage.
No choice, his strength had grown, and he had become overconfident!
He could easily devour the Fourth Progenitor, so how could he not handle Nanggong Nayue?
This was the correct way to use power after gaining it.
What was the point of fighting and killing?
Being able to boldly do something to the people around you was what one should be most proud of.
"Oh my~ Nayue-chan's hair is really smooth." Shichen continued to rub, becoming more audacious. The corners of his mouth could no longer be suppressed, and an undisguised smile bloomed on his face.
"Heh~ Hehehe~ With power, you've really become bold!" Nanggong Nayue's tone had become extremely cold.
However, Shichen was fearless: "Nayue-chan, what can you do to me?"
"Do you really think I have no way to deal with you?"
As soon as Nanggong Nayue finished speaking, her entire body suddenly vanished from under Shichen's hand, and at the same time, she appeared suspended behind Shichen.
Also proficient in Spatial Control, Shichen was now exceptionally sensitive to space. He instantly sensed her appearance, but before he could even turn his head, his head was severely struck by a fan.
Clap—!
A remarkably crisp and loud sound. It was a good hit.
"Hiss—Nayue-chan, that hurts!" Shichen clutched his head, facing Nanggong Nayue, and took a step back.
"Hmph~" Nanggong Nayue crossed her arms triumphantly: "Since you're immune to magic, I'll just use direct action."
"Darn it, you actually found out." Shichen feigned reluctance and admitted.
"See if you dare to be so disrespectful in the future, otherwise I'll hit your head every day." The corner of Nanggong Nayue's mouth lifted.
"When was I ever disrespectful?" Shichen retorted: "Clearly, I'm older than you."
"I don't care. Right now, your identity is my younger brother, so you are younger than me." Nanggong Nayue unexpectedly acted like a child, being a bit unreasonable.
"But you said before that I'm only your younger brother when we're outside. You're not going to renege, are you?"
"Aren't we outside right now?" Nanggong Nayue chuckled softly.
"..."
"Hmph~ Behave yourself from now on." After Nanggong Nayue finished speaking, she vanished from the infirmary.
Shichen noticed that her expression was very happy, as if she had won a battle. Of course, he was also very happy, not just because Nanggong Nayue was happy and he was happy with her, but mainly because he had also ruffled her little head.
With the first time, would the second time be far behind?
Then Shichen cleared the lingering magical power in the room and opened the door for Akatsuki Kojou and the others, who had been worried outside for a long time.
"Teacher, Nagisa… How is Nagisa?" As soon as the door opened, Akatsuki Kojou anxiously grabbed him and asked.
"Don't worry." Shichen pushed his hand away, patted his shoulder, and gave him a reassuring smile.
"Nagisa-chan will be fine from now on."
"Really?"
"Go inside and see for yourself." Shichen stepped aside.
"Nagisa!" Akatsuki Kojou impatiently ran into the infirmary.
Yaze Motoki also followed him into the infirmary.
"Teacher Shi, did you help cure Nagisa-chan?" Aiba Asagi didn't follow them in, asking him quietly at the door.
"Yes, I couldn't just watch her suffer, could I?"
"Teacher Shi is really gentle." Aiba Asagi couldn't help but praise, though she didn't press for the specific details of Akatsuki Nagisa's condition.
"As a teacher, isn't this what I should do?"
"Then did Teacher help Nagisa-chan because she's cute, or because she's Kojou's younger sister?" Aiba Asagi suddenly asked seriously.
"Hmm?" Shichen blinked, looking at her.
"No, never mind, Teacher Shi, pretend I didn't ask." Aiba Asagi came to her senses, lowered her head in embarrassment, and quickly walked into the infirmary.
Shichen watched her flustered back and laughed.
"Nagisa? Nagisa? How are you? Are you okay?" By the bedside, Akatsuki Kojou anxiously called out to the still unconscious Akatsuki Nagisa, his face full of worry.
"Kojou, don't move around so much. Be careful, Nagisa-chan might not be fully recovered yet," Yaze Motoki reminded.
"Teacher Shi…" Akatsuki Kojou quickly looked at Shichen, looking pitiful.
Shichen comforted him: "Don't worry, Nagisa-chan is fine now. You can wake her up."
"Really?"
"Just trust Teacher Shi." Aiba Asagi helped to say.
"Oh, oh, I understand. Nagisa, wake up quickly." Akatsuki Kojou began gently pushing Akatsuki Nagisa, trying to wake her.
Akatsuki Nagisa was also quickly woken up by him.
"Ugh… Kojou, you're so noisy." The little girl rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up.
"Nagisa, how do you feel? Are you much better? Teacher Shi said he's already cured you."
"Cured what… Eh? My body feels so light, what's going on?"
Akatsuki Nagisa stood up and bounced twice on the bed, feeling better than she ever had before.
"Kojou? What's going on? This time I really feel like I'm cured! It's amazing!"
"Really?" Akatsuki Kojou's face was filled with undisguised joy: "Thanks to Teacher Shi, this is great, Nagisa."
"Teacher Shi did it? Thank you, Teacher Shi." Akatsuki Nagisa immediately bowed politely to Shichen in thanks.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do. I also don't want to see Kojou gloomy all the time. I still want to play basketball with him," Shichen waved his hand.
"Teacher Shi…" Akatsuki Kojou looked at him with emotion.
Shichen continued: "Kojou, Nagisa-chan should be completely fine now. Have someone do another check later to confirm. From now on, Nagisa can go to school and won't have to stay here bored."
"Really? That's great!" Akatsuki Nagisa jumped up excitedly.
"I understand, I'll call my mom to come check right away."
"Alright then, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first," Shichen said, turning and walking towards the door.
"Goodbye, Teacher Shi!"
"Thank you, Teacher Shi!"
"Then I'll leave too." Aiba Asagi followed him out.
Yaze Motoki looked at the Akatsuki siblings, then at his childhood friend who was leaving with Shichen. After thinking for a moment, he decided to stay.
Although he felt there was gossip to be had, it would definitely be obtained, and it might even be a bit dangerous.
