"Apart from asking you about the specifics this time, there's actually something else."

Beichuan Si said while casually placing the vine back under the bed. His unabashed action in front of Nakajima Michika made the nation's diva's mouth twitch.

Is he not afraid that I'll take away his vine?

He's putting it under the bed right in front of me?

Nakajima Michika was completely dumbfounded and didn't hear what Beichuan Si was saying next.

"Nakajima?"

"Ah... ah... um, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing Beichuan Si's voice, Nakajima Michika snapped back to reality and instinctively turned to look at him.

Seeing her dazed and confused look, Beichuan Si subconsciously touched the vine he had just hidden under the bed, then said, "I wanted to ask you what you plan to do next."

What should be done next...?

Talking about this topic, Nakajima Michika couldn't help but touch her head: "Actually... when the news broke yesterday, the team from my studio had already reached out to me, they're pretty concerned about this situation too."

Saying this, Nakajima Michika let out a sigh and continued:

"Actually, I already have my own thoughts on how to handle this matter."

Already have thoughts?

Upon hearing these words, Beichuan Si instinctively glanced at Nakajima Michika's expression.

Her expression looked very honest, with a hint of determination in her gaze.

Unlike the earlier forced calm appearance—

"So, what's the real deal?" Beichuan Si asked again.

"??? No, Beichuan! What I said is true! I really have figured out how to deal with this!"

Nakajima Michika called out, totally flustered.

She looked as if she was afraid that Beichuan Si would beat her with the vine.

"Is that so... I understand."

Seeing Nakajima Michika's genuine salty egg expression, unlike the previously forced calm demeanor, Beichuan Si thought about it and eventually chose to believe her.

"Regardless, there's a bit of it that's my fault too. If I had been more cautious, this wouldn't have happened."

Beichuan Si sat next to the hospital bed, his tone unchanged but Nakajima Michika could sense a bit of apology in his words.

This made Nakajima Michika feel a bit flattered.

The fact that Beichuan Si uttered such words was almost unthinkable to her.

Moreover, she didn't really know how to respond to this situation, so she just touched her head and awkwardly chuckled.

"However—"

Beichuan Si changed his tone: "After all, you know the situation this time, Michika. If possible, I'd rather you notify me earlier instead of bearing it alone."

"Ah?" Nakajima Michika was stunned, then reacted as if realizing something: "But Beichuan, this matter—"

"No buts."

Before Nakajima Michika could finish, Beichuan Si interrupted: "Sit properly, you're sitting sloppily."

Then Beichuan Si pointed at the hospital bed.

Uh—

Nakajima Michika instinctively straightened her back, sitting upright.

"Truth is, you're not a kid anymore, nearly twenty-three, yet still so careless. You shouldn't pay attention to some things online..."

"No… Beichuan..."

Nakajima Michika was thoroughly confused.

How did this turn into Beichuan Si lecturing her?

"There's no 'isn't' here." Beichuan Si waved his hand, continuing: "Next time, face something like this, you should call me in advance..."

Listening to Beichuan Si's lecture, Nakajima Michika tried to speak several times but each time, Beichuan Si cut her off, leaving her blushing and sitting upright while listening to his lecture.

"Uh..."

Qianye Yuki, who had been waiting outside, had come in to check the situation, but upon entering, saw Nakajima Michika sitting upright on the bed and Beichuan Si lecturing.

She first wiped her eyes, confirmed she wasn't seeing things, then quietly backed up two steps, silently closing the door.

Although she didn't know what was going on inside, Qianye Yuki felt it wasn't a situation she ought to intrude on...

"But why does it feel like a father scolding his daughter?"

Qianye Yuki murmured to herself, a little confused.

...

After being lectured for over half an hour, Nakajima Michika, feeling angry but unwilling to show it, eventually blushed and told Beichuan Si not to bother with these matters anymore, assuring him she had her own ways to sort things out.

Beichuan Si thought about it and decided to trust Nakajima Michika.

After all, Nakajima Michika had already told him not to interfere, so he felt he should respect or trust her decision.

"By tomorrow night at the latest, there will be results, right?"

Beichuan Si murmured to himself.

This was Nakajima Michika's promise to Beichuan Si, assuring him she'd have this matter resolved by tomorrow night.

Though he didn't know what method she would use, since she was so resolute...

Thinking about this, Beichuan Si subconsciously glanced back at the hospital.

The Divine Society and those reporters were nowhere to be seen, as from the exit to the main building of the hospital there were hardly any reporters.

Thanks to this, Beichuan Si could leave the hospital quite easily.

"Anyway, thinking about this isn't helpful at all." Beichuan Si took out his phone and glanced at the time.

It was already 5:16 in the afternoon, and Beichuan Huili's club activities would soon be over and she'd be heading home.
