Shijo Maki looked bewildered, shook her head, and said, "Isn't that unnecessary? Why should I have regular checkups?"
Kashiwagi Nagisa stroked her chin in confusion: "Doesn't the Shijo family have this habit? But in our family, we have a physical examination every year... no, every month, to ensure our health."
Shijo Maki waved her hand and said, "That's too much trouble. But speaking of physical examinations, I actually went for one with my brother just last week."
I just went last week!
Kashiwagi Nagisa instantly changed her plans, smiling as she said, "Speaking of which, Maki-kun, my family recently opened a new hospital. Kassan even said that the hospital has invited the most famous experts from abroad. How about we go and have a trial this weekend?"
"Nagisa, doesn't your family own a shipyard?" Shijo Maki asked, looking puzzled.
"Cough~!!"
Kashiwagi Nagisa frantically told herself not to give herself away, and then forced a smile as she explained, "He's one of my uncles. He's recently become very interested in opening a hospital!"
"Is that so? But I still feel that going to the hospital for a physical examination is very strange," said Shijou Maki with a strange expression.
"how come?!"
"I was even thinking of going to the neurology and brain clinic with my friend Zhenfei this weekend. It would be so much fun! It would be good to help bring more customers to my uncle's hospital!"
Kashiwagi Nagisa showed great interest.
Shijou Maki: "..."
"Well, if you're happy, then... okay."
In the end, Shijo Maki did not refuse, after all, Kashiwagi Nagisa seemed too interested, and she didn't want to discourage her.
But then I think of that guy Luo Chen.
This is so overwhelming!
She had previously made a bold statement, shamelessly declaring that she would definitely conquer that guy Luo Chen for the sake of the Shijou family!
But now, not only has she not made a single clue as to how to conquer her opponent, but she is also being shocked by one astonishing report after another from her opponent.
Instant kill of four levels.
He slaughtered six dan indiscriminately.
Take seven pieces easily.
A devastating defeat for an eighth-dan player!
Then, the pressure came on her!
She felt that even though she had only hesitated for two or three days because of her procrastination and indecisiveness, the "game difficulty" had increased exponentially!
"A professional 8th dan...do I still have a chance?"
Shijo Maki fell into self-doubt.
After all, the honor of having a professional 8th-dan Go player as a retainer is something even the Shinomiya family has never possessed.
Never underestimate the arrogance and influence of any eighth-dan professional Go player.
The current Luo Chen is, of course, included.
To be honest, she was somewhat tempted to give up, but when she thought about all the hardships and struggles she had endured in the past few days… Damn it!!
Shijo Maki clenched her fists tightly and slammed them on the table.
She is not reconciled!
We must advance! We definitely must advance!
"Ah! Maki-kun!"
Kashiwagi Nagisa was startled by Shijo Maki's sudden tapping on the table. After struggling to compose herself, she silently thought to herself.
So, it's already terminally ill?
The physical exam absolutely cannot be postponed any longer!
Friday! As soon as the mock exam ends on Friday, I'll go straight there!
"Moshi moshi~"
Shijo Maki answered the phone at some point.
Kashiwagi Nagisa continued to steal worried glances at the other person.
Immediately, her little mouth opened slightly, her face filled with terror... because while Shijou Maki was on the phone, she suddenly jumped up from her chair with a jolt and ran out like the wind...
The fear on Kashiwagi Nagisa's face faded, and gradually, his expression became more serious.
She was thinking,
If Maki is really that sick, should we skip Friday and go tonight?
If that doesn't work, why not quietly notify the other person's family?
I'm so worried~
……
...
Shijo Maki ran all the way to the small garden in the school. When she saw Luo Chen sitting in the garden, she bent over and put her hands on her knees to catch her breath!
She couldn't let the other party see her in such a flustered state; the Shinomiya family's upbringing had clearly taught her this...
In negotiations, the more anxious either side is, the more disadvantageous they will be in their own hands!
So, after she had completely calmed her breathing, Shijou Maki patted her chest and gave a confident smile.
OK! Let's go!
"Luo Chen, classmate."
Shijou Maki walked into the small garden, greeted everyone, and then sat down next to Luo Chen, asking with a smile, "Have you thought it through?"
"Hmm? What do you mean, 'figure it out'?"
Luo Chen, who was looking down at past mock exam papers, looked up in surprise.
Shijo Maki's lips twitched, and she said, "You didn't call me out on purpose, did you? If you called me out, isn't it because you've already thought of my terms and want me to become a retainer of the Shijo family?"
"No, you're overthinking it. I'm not that stupid to become a guest in your house," Luo Chen said with a laugh, waving his hand.
Shijo Maki: “!!!”
Hey! Why does that sound so infuriating?
Is this guy looking down on the Shijou family? Damn it!
(╬￣ Pan￣)
However, she couldn't get angry. Smile +1 +1 +1... at least 5.3. Before she could completely recruit Luo Chen, she couldn't afford to have any unpleasantness with him, otherwise she would have no chance at all!
"Then what do you want from me?" Shijo Maki gently pressed her chest, catching her breath, and asked with a frown.
Since the other party took the initiative to contact her, they must have something to ask of her, right?
Sure, let's make a fuss about this!
"Hmm." Luo Chen showed a very sincere expression and said to Shijo Maki, "Ever since I heard about what happened to you on Monday, I have felt particularly sorry for you and always felt that I owe you something."
Shijo Maki exclaimed in surprise: "Huh?"
Is this guy really that kind of gentle?
For a moment, she was at a loss for words in the face of such a kind and handsome boy, and her heart was suddenly pounding.
Luo Chen, ever the gentle soul, continued his sincere invitation: "How about this, if you're free tomorrow night, can I treat you to dinner as compensation?"
Chapter 152 The Evil "Asahi"!
"Forehead!!.."
The four princesses were in a daze, all red and bustling...
If a girl has a stunningly beautiful face, a great figure, a cute temperament, and a petite, dependent personality, she will most likely attract a large number of boys!
Just one glance at it would probably make countless boys' hearts pound and fill them with excitement.
The reverse is also true.
When a man is handsome, has a great physique and temperament, and also possesses a fatal "gentlemanly" attribute.
Girls will undoubtedly experience a constant feeling of excitement and exhilaration after every conversation!
There is no doubt that Luo Chen is the same as Shijou Maki now!
In particular, Shijou Maki, a girl who has never experienced love, is constantly subjected to romantic entanglements and torment from her friends Kashiwagi Nagisa and Tanuma Tsubasa at school.
So! Damn it!! Her longing and yearning for love is a hundred times more intense than anyone else's!
Ugh! A shocking thought suddenly popped into her mind.
"Luo Chen wouldn't like her, would he?"
"Using it as a thank you invitation to dinner, but actually, is it a subtle way to secretly enjoy a date with her?"
"Shijo Maki-kun? So, are you free tomorrow night?" Luo Chen asked again.
