"Zhongyuan-san...why are you here?"

Nishino put down the half-cut apple, stood up, and walked to Wu Geng. Half of his body blocked Wu Geng's sight, and he smiled solemnly. No matter his attitude, actions, or tone of voice, he showed a trace of defensiveness.

"...I'm here to visit Ikuta-chan."

Zhongyuan also caught the gradually subtle mood in the room, pursed his lips, and lifted up the beautifully packaged small box in his hand, "I bought a cake... Nishino-san, do you want to eat it?"

"No, thank you." He simply refused.

Zhongyuan opened his mouth but made no sound.

"Wow! Cake! I like it the most! ... I ate it with Ikuta-chan! It's great, Ikuta-chan!"

At this time, Xiao Asuka jumped out with a fake smile. Sadly, Nishino's eyes met with Nakamoto's. Ikuta covered his face, Wu Geng stared at Nishino's back and smiled awkwardly, and no one paid attention to her at all.

Xiao Asuka suppressed her sadness and took the cake box from Zhongyuan, like holding a royal coronation crown, and sent it to Ikuta's bedside.

"...Let's eat together, Ikuta-chan..."

Ikuta turned his face sideways, spread his fingers, and exposed half of his eyes to look at her. That look was clearly saying, do you still have the nerve to come here?

"How did Nakamoto-san know about Ikuta-chan's hospitalization?" Nishino asked, "Xiaoxiao secretly told you?"

At five o'clock in the morning, her back shone brightly, and a chill ran directly from her tailbone to her scalp. She shivered.

"Xiaoxiao, are you cold?" Nishino turned back with a smile, "Do you want me to call the nurse to adjust the temperature in the room?"

"No, I won't bother you..." Wu Geng replied tremblingly.

"Hey, Xiaoxiao is so weird, she still uses honorifics to me."

The palms of my hands started to sweat at the end of the night. It was over, Na-chan started to turn black again.

"It was Xiao Asuka who sent the message. Thirty minutes ago," Zhongyuan said, "it said that Ikuta-chan was hospitalized due to a fracture... and asked me to come and visit her as soon as possible."

Thirty minutes ago... Wu Geng had roughly understood why Xiao Feiniao had stopped them from entering just now. It turned out to be that. After all, she and Nishino had only arrived in the ward for less than ten minutes.

Xiao Asuka originally thought of calling Zhongyuan to give Ikuta an opportunity for the two of them to get along together as compensation. Unexpectedly, Arisugawa also told Wu Geng about this matter. What's more, when he received the news, Wu Geng said

In the practice room with Nishino.

Xiao Feiniao, who had done bad things with good intentions, originally wanted to guard the door of the ward and block Riya Xiang back. Unexpectedly, the other party just heard someone calling her name from inside, so she pulled Xiao Feiniao and pushed the door in without saying anything. So this happened

This kind of confrontation between two armies is about to break out.

"Asuka-chan...do you have any deep grudge against Ikuta and me..."

Lying on the hospital bed, Ikuta suffered a heavy blow to her body and mind from Asuka. She was on the verge of despair. She finally realized that she should not have called Asuka into her home in the first place. She thought that recruiting Waze General could help her make suggestions, but she didn't.

It is expected that its essence is a disaster star. It has to make people lament that the world is impermanent and good and bad are interdependent.

"I'm not doing this just for you..." Xiao Feiniao felt very aggrieved, with her mouth pouting so much that a soda bottle could hang on it.

On the other side, Wu Geng was really restless. Zhongyuan and Nishino stared at each other face to face. For half a minute, no one spoke, as if whoever spoke first was weaker than the other. Originally, Zhongyuan had no power over Nishino.

He adopted a slightly dodgy attitude, but after seeing Nishino guarding Wu Geng behind him like a chicken guarding his food, he quickly adjusted his posture and faced Nishino's gaze head-on with an aura that raced against every second without giving up any chance.

At five o'clock in the morning, I felt that the two people's eyes were clashing, and sparks were almost flying.

However, it's not easy for her to get involved, after all, Nishino's attitude towards Zhongyuan is subtle.

Wu Geng never believed in such nonsense as love at first sight. She believed that the relationship between people must be determined after getting along for a period of time. But Nishino's attitude towards Zhong Yuan made Wu Geng believe in what incompatibility means.

Even though the two of them had nothing in common, they still disliked each other and were tit-for-tat.

Wugeng wanted to intervene but was powerless. During the last magazine shoot, Nishino lost his temper for no reason, and Wugeng still remembered it fresh. Both of them were her friends, so she intervened at this time, whether it was a fair response or a partial response.

Either party will intensify the conflict. However, it is too painful to just stand there.

Just in time, the little bird over there was already ready to open the cake box. The cake was not big, but it was no problem to share it among several people, as long as you don't expect it to be full.

"Little Feiniao, give me some cake. I happen to be hungry too."

Wu Geng said and walked over there. She didn't want to stay where she was for a second.

"no!"

Unexpectedly, just halfway through, Nishino suddenly stopped her.

"You can't eat Xiaoxiao!"

"……ha?"

Wu Geng looked back in surprise, a little dumbfounded, why couldn't he eat it? Those who didn't know thought that Nishino was deliberately trying to find trouble with Wu Geng.

Nishino also noticed his gaffe and panicked for a moment, but did not take back his words.

"...I can't eat Xiaoxiao anyway."

"Why!"

"Why?"

The former why was said by Wu Geng, expressing sighs. The latter why was said by Zhong Yuan, expressing doubts, with a somewhat rhetorical tone.

Why did the two of them happen to collide?

Ikuta had a strange look on his face and thought to himself, this all made sense, he still had a chance to counter-attack!

Zhongyuan paused, then faced Nishino's hostile gaze and said

"Why can't you eat Shixiao sauce?" Zhongyuan asked. This time the tone of the question was stronger.

"...Nakamoto-san bought the cake for Ikuta-chan. It would be inappropriate for a visitor to eat a patient's cake."

This is the right argument.

What Nishino said is absolutely correct. Even Zhongyuan would have a hard time finding a reason to refute it. But she couldn't do it if she was lower than Nishino here. Zhongyuan was already far behind Nishino, and she usually avoided Nishino.

There were very few times when I specifically bothered Wu Geng and Nishino. I mostly chatted with Wu Geng when Nishino was away and Wu Geng was alone.

Even so, Nishino is still like a willful child who monopolizes toys, holding on to Wugeng and unwilling to let go. His status as the main palace hinders Zhongyuan in every possible way.

On Valentine's Day, Zhongyuan took a step back (didn't express his feelings to Wu Geng on the spot)

At the end of May, she took a step back from her date with Wu Geng. (She discovered that Nishino and others were following her secretly but did not tell Wu Geng)

What's next? Step back step by step? Then what is she fighting for?

Zhongyuan can no longer care about so much, she just doesn't want to be at a disadvantage in this confrontation.

"...I didn't say that the cake was bought for Ikuta-chan, right?"

Zhongyuan silently apologized to Ikuta, thinking that he would make up for it next time.

"..."

Wu Geng felt that she had been inexplicably attracted a wave of hatred. She probably felt that now Ikuta had cut her into pieces with a thousand cuts.

On the other hand, Xiao Feiniao had already opened the cake box and was about to carry the cake to the hospital bed. Hearing this, he raised his head in surprise and glanced at Ikuta, who had tears in his eyes and looked sad and angry. He hesitated for a moment.

"Well, should I put the cake back together?"

If possible, she hoped Zhongyuan could give a negative answer.

——Because the cake box is really difficult to take apart.
