Prologue 3 part 3

When Hong Shuang Yu arrived at the hospital, he couldn't help but sigh. It looks like he can never stop coming to the hospital.

Before Hong Shuang Yu came to this city, he was always in the hospital due to the "incident". Even though he was released from the hospital, he hasn't completely recovered. So, when he came to this city, he always had to go to routine checkups in the hospital.

Looking at the snow-white walls, and smelling the pungent odor of medication, Hong Shuang Yu felt a sudden sense of comfort.

Looks like I am a bit reliant on the hospital, huh…

Hong Shuang Yu followed Lu Jing Xing to the main desk. After confirming that they are here, the were led to the doctor's room.

"Oh, you are here. How are you? Is your leg okay today?"

The middle-aged doctor asked Lu Jing Xing.

"I'm doing very well! I come every day for the rehab exercises."

"Oh, is that so, then go to the recovery room then. The nurse is already there. Is this your younger brother here to accompany you with your exercises?"

Hey hey hey, this is so embarrassing. Even though I had nothing to say, am I really that small?

"Hehe~ This isn't my little brother, it's my classmate."

"Eh, then go now, I still have other patients to take care of. If you have a classmate to take care of you, you should be fine, then right?"

"No problem~ Sorry for the inconvenience."

Hong Shuang Yu and Lu Jing Xing left the room without saying another word.

"Let's go~ Hong Shuang Yu."

"Okay…"

Hong Shuang Yu said weakly.

Hong Shuang Yu pushed Lu Jing Xing towards the rehabilitation room.

At this moment, Hong Shuang Yu heard a sound of astonishment.

"What the…Yu-kun is actually…actually with a girl…"

The tremoring voice said with utter shock and disbelief in his voice.

He looked around and saw a nurse staring at them in awe.

…..

"Oh, so that is what happened! But it's really rare to even see Yu-kun step within a meter of a girl. Even in the beginning, you didn't even let me approach you. Actually, even now you don't let me get too close."

The female nurse in front of Hong Shuang Yu who is the main caretaker of Hong Shuang Yu when he was admitted into the hospital is named Qian Wei Hui.

"Is it really okay for you to be near a girl? If you collapse again, your sister will yell at me again."

…If nee-chan was really here she probably would already start scolding.

"Well…I will have to try…I can't keep on living like this anyways."

"Okay then. Even if Yu-kun faints, it should be fine because I'll stay near you."

Qian Wei Hui put her finger to her lips and pondered for a while.

Of course it won't be fine, be sincerer with your job!

Coincidentally, Qian Wei Hui was also Lu Jing Xing's caretaker.

"So, why not start now?"

Why does your face look like you saw something interesting?

The so-called rehab exercises are basically only walking on some equipment. Usually, the nurse is there to help, but since Hong Shuang Yu is there, he helped to the nurse's work.

"Eh, what am I even doing here…"

"Good luck!! Yu-kun."

"Come on! Hong Shuang Yu"

Lu Jing Xing stretched out her hand with excitement.

…Did I just meet two idiots…

"Let's just do 10 meters first. Eh, actually, maybe Yu-kun wouldn't be able to do that."

"Don't underestimate me…"

"Really? Then let's go!" Qian Wei Hui lifted her hands.

Hong Shuang Yu looked at Lu Jing Xing and took a deep breath.

I must try my best…

When he approached Lu Jing Xing's hand, his heart couldn't help but start to race. Sweat started to appear on his forehead, and his breathing became uncontrolled.

He finally put Lu Jing Xing on his shoulder.

With a girl's scent so close to him, Hong Shuang Yu's whole body started to tremble.

Lu Jing Xing started to become worried.

"Are you okay? If you aren't, you don't have to force yourself…Hong Shuang Yu."

Hong Shuang Yu started panting without the exercises even starting.

"Ha…It didn't even start yet…this kind of intensity…is still fine…"

Lu Jing Xing still felt a bit worried.

"Then…Let's begin…"

"…Come on…"

The weight of Lu Jing Xing's body started to dawn on Hong Shuang Yu.

Hong Shuang Yu felt as if he was struck on the head and was feeling faint.

"Ahhhhh….."

Qian Wei Hui felt the impending danger and immediately came.

"Yu-kun, if you aren't feeling up to it, you should just stop. Don't push yourself too hard." Qian Wei Hui said in a worried tone.

"I'm fine…Let's continue…"

Hong Shuang Yu didn't want to give up, and he realized that this is an illness that he had to cure anyway. If he keeps going on like this, he wouldn't even be able to get a job. Even worse, surviving would even be in question. When he realized this, Hong Shuang Yu pushed himself to continue.

"Then…Let's start walking."

"Come…Come on."

Lu Jing Xing stepped out of her plaster and slowly took a step forward.

Hong Shuang Yu started to walk at the pace of Lu Jing Xing. Even though Hong Shuang Yu was feeling extremely weak, Lu Jing Xing's body was much lighter than expected. So it didn't pose a huge problem for Hong Shuang Yu.

With the same attitude as Hong Shuang Yu, Lu Jing Xing tried hard to walk. She needed her wound to recover soon because the tournament is something that she couldn't miss.

The two of them barely took a few steps before stopping. Lu Jing Xing stopped because of the pain, but Hong Shuang Yu's situation looks very dire.

Sweat kept dripping down his face. He felt weaker and weaker until his body started trembling.

"Yu-kun?"

"Ah…"

After letting out a small voice, Hong Shuang Yu collapsed.

Qian Wei Hui held him to stop him and Lu Jing Xing from falling.

"He still can't do it…But he did try."

After saying that, Qian Wei Hui lifted Hong Shuang Yu up.

"Could you wait here for a while and exercise by yourself? I must take care of this kid."

"But…"

"Just wait here…"

Without even waiting for Lu Jing Xing to answer, Qian Wei Hui carried Hong Shuang Yu away with a distinct happy mood.

It was a princess carry.

"Eh…"

Looking at the shadow of the disappearing Qian Wei Hui, Lu Jing Xing started to feel a sense of regret. In this situation, Hong Shuang Yu might not come and help her next time. Even though coming to help her was just an excuse.

#

Hong Shuang Yu woke up with an uncomfortable sensation on his body.

He looked at the alarm clock next to his bed.

5:50 AM

Way too early.

He somewhat remembered what happened yesterday, when he collapsed helping Lu Jing Xing do her rehab exercises.

Ah…So embarrassing…Whatever, I will just go take a shower.

When he woke up, he realized that his hair was oily, which made it clear that he did not shower yesterday. To the crazily clean Hong Shuang Yu, this is just unbearable. He already slept for long enough anyways.

After deciding to get up from his bed, he felt a familiar discomfort and looked down.

Just as he thought,

Hong Xue was laying on his stomach deep asleep. He originally wanted to flick her head, but after considering how tired she must be from taking care of him, he refrained from doing it.

He carefully removed Hong Xue from his body and put a blanket over her sleeping body. In the meantime, he wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth. When he left, he softly flicked the forehead of his sister.

"Uwu…Uwu…"

Hong Xue let out a cute moan and frowned a little from the slight disturbance.

After showering, Hong Shuang Yu felt refreshed.

Looking in the mirror, he could see his thin and dainty body. Hong Shuang Yu lifted his hand and weakly flexed his biceps, but there wasn't even a bulge.

Eh……

At this moment, a shadow approached the Hong Shuang Yu who was looking disappointedly at his skinny arms.

"Uwaaaaa!!! Who? …Xue nee-chan what are you doing!?"

"Uwuwu…My cute Otouto-kun suddenly disappeared and drained me of my "Otouto-kun energy". So I need to be close to my little Otouto-kun to refill it…Awah…Ah…Yu-kun's smell after showering." (TL: Otouto-kun=Little brother Otouto-kun energy= A weird type of expression. It fills up when Hong Xue is near Hong Shuang Yu.)

"Are you an idiot? It's only a smell after showering! If you are hungry go get something to eat."

Hong Shuang Yu said as he tried to get away from his nee-chan's grip.

"No…Uwuwu."

"Let go! Even though you are not I am hungry."

After hearing this, Hong Xue lifted her face and said with a blush,

"Yu-kun is hungry? …Come on, you can eat nee-chan! Your nee-chan has a lot of "onee-chan energy" stored!"

After finishing her sentence, Hong Xue lunged at Hong Shuang Yu with her arms open.

"In your dreams!"

Hong Shuang Yu screamed as he left the bath.

It is still a while before school starts, so Hong Shuang Yu could only wait patiently.

Sitting on the sofa, Hong Shuang Yu started to rethink what happened yesterday. It's a shame that his performance yesterday was so poor. He originally had the mindset to cure his symptoms, but it didn't seem that easy. But why does Lu Jing Xing still want him to accompany her? He just can't seem to understand."

Whatever, it's still a step forward in curing his symptoms. Good luck to myself!

At this point, Hong Shuang Yu showed a rare enthusiasm. He clenched his fist with a serious look on his face.

A shadow again appeared behind Hong Shuang Yu. Not being able to react, Hong Shuang Yu again was hugged tightly and pinned down on the sofa. (TL: I wonder who it is, do you know?)

"Nee-chan! Let me go!"

"No, I haven't slept enough yet. Let your nee-chan hug Yu-kun for a little while longer."

"Go sleep in your own room!"

Hong Xue didn't answer Hong Shuang Yu, but instead locked Hong Shuang Yu tightly on the sofa while giggling.

"Owwwwwwwww, stop it! Go away!"

Hong Xue's soft body was clinging to Hong Shuang Yu. Only his nee-chan doesn't trigger his symptoms, so the two of them look like lovers to any outsider. So, Hong Shuang Yu eventually got used to what his nee-chan does.

Looking at his deep asleep nee-chan, Hong Shuang Yu could only stay put.

#

Even walking fast depletes Hong Shuang Yu's energy rather quickly, so don't even mention running.

Crap, I am almost late!

Hong Shuang Yu thought with a pale face drenched with sweat. His two feet was going as fast as they can as he raced to school.

After waking up later than usual, Hong Shuang Yu hurriedly got up and realized that Xue nee-chan didn't even wake him up. She was clearly awake because the breakfast was already done.

"Looking at how cutely Yu-kun was sleeping, I couldn't bring myself to wake you up…"

"Cute my ass."

Hong Shuang Yu rejected his nee-chan's offer to accompany him to school since the time frame didn't allow her to send him to school and make it on time to her own. Hong Shuang Yu's school didn't have a senior division, so he and his nee-chan had to go to 2 separate schools.

However, Hong Shuang Yu felt as if he was going to be late to his own school. So he started to run.

……..

Even after running, he was still late. This shocked the teacher because Hong Shuang Yu was always the first few to arrive at school. However, the teacher didn't say anything and just let it be.

After sitting down at his place, the whole class looked at him with a bizarre stare.

Eh…It's was hard today.

After sitting through the first course, which was language arts, Hong Shuang Yu felt light headed and tired.

……

After the class finished, Hong Shuang Yu couldn't help but fall asleep on his desk.

"Yu-kun, are you not feeling well today? You are even late today…Are you not feeling good somewhere?"

Ling Mu asked with a worried face.

"Eh…I just slept late yesterday and ran to school…So tired~"

Hong Shuang Yu instantly fell on his table looking as if he was "disabled".

"Eh~It's so rare to see Yu-kun late…Your record of never being late is even broken."

Ling Mu said with a sympathetic voice.

"Yeah…But the teacher…Let…me off the hook…So my record is still…"

Hong Shuang Yu couldn't help but succumb to his fatigue.

Ling Mu decided to just watch Hong Shuang Yu sleep without disturbing him.

Until the teacher walked into the room, he left Hong Shuang Yu soundly asleep.

The drowsy Hong Shuang Yu was about to pull out his textbook before he found a note tucked under his elbow.

"This is from Lu Jing Xing…Are you familiar with her?" Ling Mu asked quietly.

Hong Shuang Yu frowned when he heard this question.

"Eh…We are just acquaintances."

Ling Mu instantly became quiet when he saw the frown on Hong Shuang Yu's face."

He opened up the note and saw only a few words.

I'll meet you at the usual place at lunch.

Lu Jing Xing

What is it again?

#

#

The school is always rowdy during lunch, and the school almost has 0 control over the students during the lunch break. So you could go literally where ever you want, as long as you stay on campus.

The cafeteria is not just a normal cafeteria, it could be described as a restaurant. The food that it provides is on par with the excellent school's fame.

However, many students still choose to dine at other places at lunch. The school seemed like a private territory owned by foreign nobility towards outsiders.

The place that Hong Shuang Yu and Lu Jing Xing ate yesterday was a bench under a tree on the way to the library.

So, Hong Shuang Yu strolled towards the place with the lunch that Hong Xue made him.

It's not that the food at school was not tasty, but it was the habit of nee-chan to cook. Plus, the nutrients and amount that Xue nee-chan makes is splendid, and it also saves money.

When he arrived at the designated area, Lu Jing Xing was already there, with a luxurious lunch as usual.

Looks like my lunch today is intact…So maybe I cannot mooch some of her's…What a shame.

As he approached Lu Jing Xing, he found her looking at the lunchbox daydreaming.

When she sensed a person approaching her, she lifted her head.

"You came! Sit down! Today's lunch was also made by me!"

Lu Jing Xing exclaimed happily.

"Uhm…I already have lunch today…So I cannot eat your lunch today…Sorry."

"Eh? No no no, of course, I know that Hong Shuang Yu would pack his own lunch, so I only made a few side dishes. Look!"

After finishing her sentenced, Lu Jing Xing opened up the first layer of the three-decker. Instantly, the air was filled by a delicious aroma, and as she said, the first layer was a few meticulously made sides.

"Oh, is that so…The bottom two layers are for yourself?"

"Yeah! Don't underestimate the appetite of a girl! I need to eat a lot of nutrients to recover well!"

Lu Jing Xing made a stance that made her look like she has a huge appetite.

"Eh…What's the matter…Why did you have to…write me a note…?"

Hong Shuang Yu sat beside Lu Jing Xing and quietly said, "Ittedakimasu" and started eating his lunch. (TL: Ittedakimasu=I'm digging in)

"Do I have to have something urgent to find you?"

Lu Jing Xing asked with a slight annoyance in her voice.

"Of…Of course not…But why…Why use a paper note?"

Why would she suddenly get angry?

"You were sleeping, so of course I wouldn't want to disturb you. And also you usually don't like to talk to others anyway."

Lu Jing Xing handed the dishes to Hong Shuang Yu as she said this.

"Taste it! I am confident in my food today!"

"…Thank you…I'm digging in now…"

He picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth.

Just like she said…The deliciousness is hard to describe…How does she get her food to taste this good?

"Hehe, how is it? If it's good, I can make it every day for you!"

"That would be too much of a bother, wouldn't it?"

"No no no, it's okay. I'm just sharing a little of my food, it won't inconvenience me too much."

"But…But…"

"Men like you can't be this wishy-washy! Just take this as a reward for helping me exercise, okay?"

"…Helping you exercise? Oh right…"

"But…Maybe I cannot help you today…"

"Eh? It's okay that you can't today, but why?"

"Because I didn't get my nee-chan's permission…"

"Onee-chan? Why do you need her permission? Could it be that Hong Shuang Yu is experiencing "Onee-chan control"?"

"Eh…Onee-chan control?" Hong Shuang Yu said with a questioning tone.

"Looks like it's not. Eh…Okay then. Oh yeah, how are you feeling today? Weren't you late?"

"Eh…I'm pretty much fine…I just slept late and was feeling pretty tired…"

"Oh yeah, let's return to class now."

Hong Shuang Yu didn't even realize that he ate all the food, and the time is almost up for lunch break. Lu Jing Xing packed up the stuff and got on her wheelchair.

She pointed her finger forwards.

"Let's~go!"
