At this moment, if there was a heart monitor showing his heartbeat, then there was no doubt that under this十几 second-long eye contact, he had already entered a state of cardiopulmonary arrest. In the hospital, it would have been enough for a large group of doctors to bow to him to express their apologies.
But after a brief cardiac arrest, faced with her, who was staring at him, his heartbeat began to accelerate again.
What's going on? Didn't I ask her to go to Tachyon's place to get that harmless and very effective sleeping pill? I've taken that sleeping pill myself. Even when I was being tortured by bone cancer all over, I could rely on this sleeping pill to sleep soundly for eight hours. How did she wake up so soon after just falling asleep?
Could it be that her medicine is also fake?
Just as he was having such a thought, he, who had gradually regained his composure, also noticed her strangeness in front of him... first was her suddenly dark pupils. He remembered very clearly that her eyes were blue. This dark color was not right at all.
And although she was awake, her two eyelids had been fighting from beginning to end. Clearly, it was also very difficult for her to maintain a conscious posture, and she could fall asleep again at any time.
And so, after confirming her half-awake state, he, after taking a deep breath, made his next move—he slowly extended his hand and, under her cold gaze, gently stroked her beautiful hair, and even, to coordinate with his action, he sang softly:
"Sleep sleep my dear baby~"
Tokai Teio: "..."
...Alright, he himself felt embarrassed. Faced with her, who was staring at him, he also knew that he couldn't, like Tom the swordsman from Tom and Jerry, coax his king to sleep.
"...I'm sorry, Teio. Although I really want to explain to you, but please forgive me for not being able to tell you what I'm doing."
"But I can tell you very clearly that all of this was my own decision, but I didn't do anything wrong... of course, in this state now, no matter how you look at it, it will be misunderstood."
Now the only thing he could do was to brace himself and wait for her "judgment." He simply couldn't explain why he was secretly holding a little girl's hand while she was sleeping. In a normal person's eyes, what was he trying to do? In this situation, even if he was called a "lolicon," it would definitely not be wrong.
However, after he had waited for a minute, he still couldn't wait for any reaction from her. Under his careful watch, he found that her palm, which had been tightly gripping his wrist, had quietly shown signs of loosening.
Although I'm not sure, but... it seems I'm saved?
His thoughts jumped rapidly at this moment. A joy appeared on his redeemed face. At this moment, he was also afraid of disturbing the about-to-fall-asleep her, and quietly and carefully retreated...
"—Where are you going?"
And the moment he turned around, the sudden sound from behind, and a force that was not large but exceptionally strong, grabbed the hem of his clothes and stopped him from continuing to move forward.
Behind him, she had at some point sat cross-legged on the sofa. Perhaps because of the effect of the medicine, her voice was very light. If not for the student council office being completely silent except for the two of them, he would not even have been able to hear her voice clearly.
But it was precisely because the student council office was now so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard that he could clearly hear from behind her, her suppressed but still-leaking, strong and pretending-to-be-strong sobs.
"You... where else are you trying to go?"
"It was so hard... to finally see you again... where else are you trying to go?"
Her two fingers were tightly clutching the hem of his clothes. Perhaps because she really couldn't resist the feeling of wanting to sleep, she was even trembling with weakness. But even under the drive of the medicine, somewhat delirious and sleepy, she still persisted in fighting against her own will, tightly holding onto him, not letting him leave her sight.
"You said it... that you doted on me the most... you said that I was your pride..."
"Everything I do is in the hope that you can see... I hope you can tell me with your own mouth... that I am your pride..."
"How dare you just leave... how dare you... leave me alone to face all of this."
"Teio?"
And with her series of complaining-like spoiled words, he finally couldn't help but turn his head slightly. But at this moment, he immediately noticed her, who seemed to be finally unable to resist her sleepiness, her delicate body somewhat shaky.
Almost subconsciously, his movements were unprecedentedly agile and careful as he caught her falling body. But at this very moment, he immediately felt her weak little hands, but at the first moment, they wrapped around his neck.
All of a sudden, it was as if the "Luna mode" of Rudolf from yesterday was re-enacted. It's just that the person lying on him had changed from her to her.
"Finally... caught you."
In his field of vision, he noticed the sly smile that had appeared on her lips before she had closed her eyes. Under the effect of the medicine, she didn't even have time to look a few more times at this person she had always wanted to see again. But the "Tokai Teio" of now no longer cared.
She could now feel that he was by her side. He was holding her as in the past, his eyes only on her. This might be the most peaceful sleep she had had in a long time.
No, it's not enough... before I fall asleep, I still have some words that I want to convey to him.
Otherwise, I don't know at all when I will be able to talk to him like this again... I have to say all of these words to him.
"Don't... leave me again... okay?"
"No matter who you're doing it for, no matter who you want to save... save yourself first... okay?"
"I... we, we can't be without you. Do you understand?"
"—I know." At this moment, combining her dark eyes from before and her completely different attitude towards him in this world, he, who had vaguely guessed her identity in front of him, also chose to obey her words. While gently patting her shoulder, his other hand gently stroked her forehead and beautiful hair, and replied, "I promise you, I won't act recklessly again, Teio."
"And one more thing..."
And upon hearing his reply, the smile on her face also widened a little. But soon, as if she could no longer resist the effect of the medicine, before she fell into a deep sleep, she finally murmured in a voice as faint as a mosquito's, "Can you... coax me to sleep? I haven't had a good sleep in a long, long time."
"Of course I can, Teio."
And faced with this request, which was so humble that it was heartbreaking, he did not say much and agreed gently. Finally, with his words falling, the "Teio" in his arms, who had walked through countless thorns and experienced who knows how much hardship, finally fell into a deep sleep like a child of this age...
And beside the sleeping her, he still stayed by her side without leaving for a single step. This time, it might be an extremely long day again...
...
"In this way, it should be done, right?"
And outside the student council door, the president-less Symboli Rudolf pressed her ear tightly against the door, carefully listening to every move inside. And after the student council fell into a silence again, she also let out a long sigh of relief.
Although she was a little confused, she felt that his actions had probably been successful. After all, her spoiled words just now sounded like words after her memory had awakened. And she only needed to wait until she woke up, and her, his, and Teio's relationship should be able to continue openly and honorably!
At this thought, the overjoyed Rudolf was about to open the door. But at this moment, the sound of what seemed to be high heels stepping from the corridor made her stop her hand abruptly.
"Ara, Rudolf. It's a surprise that you're not working in the student council. Are all the affairs already handled?"
A moment later, the voice of Mejiro Palmer soon came to her ear. And when she turned her gaze, she found that beside her, there was also a figure that made her feel surprised—the one whose identity she was also very suspicious of, the unknown Invincible.
What are these two doing here? Although she didn't quite understand their purpose in visiting, after all, since the last time she and Palmer had had a dispute, she had not come to the student council for a long time. Even when she was sick, she had still helped her regardless of their past grudges, but the barrier between the two had not been eliminated.
And today, she had suddenly brought her to the student council, especially at this time when he and Teio were both here... this made her have to suspect, was she, like her, also had a spy by his side, supervising his every move?
Or is it that Invincible is the spy of the Mejiro family? But isn't she obviously on better terms with Ardan?
"Yes, the documents were processed very quickly today. I plan to close the student council early."
And although her heart was full of doubts, she did not want them to disturb him and Teio in the student council at all—this was a warm moment for their family to reunite! After confirming this point, she also did not give in and answered naturally, "So, I'm going to lock the student council door now. If you have anything to say, we can talk tomorrow, okay?"
"Then that's very unfortunate. This child said she might have left something in the student council. I'm here to accompany her to retrieve her lost property." And Palmer was not fooled by her words at all. One sentence had dispelled her idea of forcibly locking the door. And for a moment, she also turned her gaze to her, her pupils with a hint of danger as she asked, "...Then what did you lose, Invincible-san?"
"I'm not sure. I might have lost something, or I might have lost someone."
However, what surprised her greatly was that faced with her slight pressure, this horse girl, who had not even started to develop, did not show any fear at all. On the contrary, she looked straight at her and said, word by word, "My trainer seems to be in the student council. Who on earth is with him? If it's convenient, can you let me go into the student council and see if he's there?"
Her voice was not loud, but it penetrated the quiet student council and clearly entered his and her ears. And at this moment, the two, who had just calmed down, were once again forced into a "desperate situation" under her questioning.
...Question: I'm cultivating a relationship with my "ex-girlfriend's" "adopted daughter," and at this moment, my biological daughter with my ex-wife has come to the door. What should I do? Waiting online, it's quite urgent.
