Treatment was what Ichiko hoped for, but she didn't know that she had already fallen into Haruko's trap.
Ichiko has been so proactive, how can I not give some reward?
Since you want to cure me so much.
Then I'll pretend your treatment is very effective~
And then make you fall in love with me.
After pretending to continue for a while longer, she ended this experience that made her feel strange.
Gently raising her head, Ichiko met Haruko's happy and satisfied smile and nervously asked, "Xi... Haruko, that... thank you for the treat?"
Haruko nodded gently and asked expectantly, "Do you like it?"
Ichiko swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
She didn't say she liked it directly, but instead said tentatively, "It's not disliked, but... but I still need to get used to it."
If it were before, as long as I didn't say I liked it, Haruko should have an opinion, right?
Now...
Haruko just smiled shyly, "It's good as long as Ichiko doesn't dislike it~"
"Uh... Haruko is too weak now." Ichiko changed the subject, "It's better to recover your body more, otherwise... you'll get tired easily."
"Mhm!"
Haruko nodded seriously, "I will work hard to recover my body!"
Not the slightest trace of yandere tendencies.
Docile and adorable.
Immediately, Ichiko became excited.
Her goal was achieved!
She controlled Haruko and made her obedient.
At the same time, she didn't show any yandere tendencies when facing her probing, this is the first milestone in the treatment!
Dr. Kaito, Kai, thank you so much.
Ichiko thanked the two inwardly, and after going out to rinse her mouth, she happily chatted with Haruko.
It wasn't until noon, when she had to go to work, that Ichiko said goodbye to Haruko.
It was as if a huge stone in her heart had fallen, feeling incredibly light.
The past suppression, confusion, and fear were dispelled by hope and the future at this moment.
Pretending to like Haruko, and then treating her, as long as she faced it with patience and accepted it, there would definitely be a chance!
As for Haruko, she successfully completed the discharge procedures in the afternoon.
"Time to go home, but it's snowing again, maybe I should take a taxi."
Haruko looked up at the sky and found the snow wasn't light. She took out her phone, intending to call a taxi.
But the moment she saw her phone balance, her smile froze again.
237 yuan!
Her brother had transferred two thousand yuan before, but Haruko hadn't saved a single bit these past few days.
Buying clothes, the camera prepared for the small dark room, the air conditioning at home was on for several days straight resulting in a large electricity bill, plus some scattered expenses.
She was once again in a financial crisis.
"Money is becoming less and less valuable these days!"
Haruko sighed inwardly and no longer planned to take a taxi.
The snow wasn't heavy, taking the shortcut could get her home faster.
Pedestrians hurried along the street, vehicles occasionally passed by, and snowflakes fell onto Haruko's brown long hair, elongating her lonely silhouette.
Walking into the deserted alley, in the original owner's memory, there used to be many delinquent girls who couldn't afford school huddling together for warmth here. Now it was winter, and the old houses in the alley couldn't withstand such cold either.
But it wasn't completely empty.
Turning the corner, Haruko found a small figure huddled in a corner of a wall. A worn-out coat covered her body, but couldn't hide her trembling.
The small figure's long hair reached her waist, but it was incredibly messy, and unlike Haruko's beautiful hair, her black hair was dry and split-ended, which was caused by long-term malnutrition.
More importantly, this figure looked somewhat familiar to Haruko.
She walked over and tilted her head, saying curiously, "Lala?"
The figure seemed to react, looking up at Haruko blankly.
Meeting those eyes, Haruko finally confirmed who the person in front of her was.
The little follower who came to her house with Lala at that time.
