Chapter 310: Chapter 231. I’m Just Joking (4000 words)

Beichuan Si had specifically inquired about Beichuan Hui Li’s recent academic performance and found that she had managed to maintain a position within the top fifteen of her grade, which was somewhat relieving.

Kyubei could be considered a key high school in the Bunkyo District, and maintaining a position within the top fifteen in Kyubei meant that acceptance into Tokyo’s universities was expected.

Moreover, the complexity of middle school and high school exams were not on the same level, indicating that Beichuan Hui Li must have been putting in considerable effort in her studies.

It is worth mentioning that the academic performances of Beichuan Hui Li’s four best friends were also impressive, with the least academically successful among them, Takiyama Nanako, still managing to hold a position around the fiftieth in the grade.

The other friends – Sakurai Saki, who wore glasses, Sakura Miori, a particularly narcissistic young girl, and Otomoto Ai, who always thought calmly – all ranked within the top fifteen of their grade.

Salty Egg Sister had friends who were academic elites, which was no surprise that her grades were so good, as the influence between good friends was significant.

"But no matter what, she can’t surpass Brother Temple..." Beichuan Hui Li muttered under her breath.

Perhaps her older brother still didn’t know that he was ranked second in the grade, with the perennial top student Shen Gu Mirai at first place.

Initially, it might seem that her brother still had Shen Gu Mirai ahead of him, and the name "Beichuan Demon King" had not yet dominated the ranking list.

But it’s important to note that her brother was a tough guy who had skipped classes for three out of the four weeks since the term started.

And before the term had begun, Beichuan Si’s ranking had been squarely in the middle, at one hundred fiftieth in the grade.

Yet, this preliminary test rocketed him to second in the grade.

To think he could perform this well despite barely attending any lectures.

"Indeed... Brother Temple is invincible." Beichuan Hui Li put her phone down on the table, more convinced of her thought.

Although Shen Gu Mirai was first, Beichuan Hui Li had already secretly set her as the prospective sister-in-law in her heart; no matter how much she resisted, she could not escape Brother Temple’s grasp.

After all, whenever Beichuan Hui Li asked, Shen Gu Mirai would show a pampering smile and come to help.

Wasn’t this what a sister-in-law would do?

If Brother Temple dared to find someone new—

Beichuan Hui Li’s expression turned stern, and she looked back at Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si looked at her with an expressionless face.

Her stern look quickly faded, and Beichuan Hui Li’s neck shrank as she wilted and switched to another topic:

"It’s been so long, how come Michika hasn’t returned yet? It’s already past one or two o’clock. A medical check-up shouldn’t take that long."

Upon hearing this, Beichuan Si glanced at Beichuan Hui Li and his eyes flickered, "How long has she been gone?"

"About five hours now..." Beichuan Hui Li counted with her fingers.

Five hours.

The clock hands pointed to one thirty-six in the afternoon, meaning Nakajima Michika and Qianye Ying had gone to the hospital for a check-up around eight in the morning.

"She should be back very soon, don’t worry."

Qianye Yuki was far more reliable than Nakajima Michika.

With her there, there should be no problems with Nakajima Michika.

Rather, Beichuan Si was more worried that Nakajima Michika might accidentally remove her face mask, allowing onlookers to see her, causing an uproar in the hospital.

Thinking this, Beichuan Si still called Qianye Yuki.

After more than a minute, the call was picked up.

"Hello? Senior Beichuan?"

"It’s me, Miss Ying. I’m back in Tokyo, and I heard Miss Nakajima hasn’t returned from her medical check-up yet?" Beichuan Si asked directly.

"Um... the situation here is a bit complicated, but don’t worry, we’ll be back soon. There’s something important I need to tell Senior Beichuan later."

"Alright."

With that, Qianye Yuki hung up the phone, leaving a string of dial tones behind.

Beichuan Si looked at his phone, already aware of what had happened.

He put down his phone and reassured Beichuan Hui Li, "Don’t worry, they’ll be back soon. Let’s have lunch first."

The two of them helped each other, using the replenished ingredients in the fridge to cook a pot of seafood risotto.

After lunch, they started doing their own things, waiting for Nakajima Michika’s return.

Around four o’clock in the afternoon, a weary Nakajima Michika and a distressed, frowning Qianye Ying returned.

"We’ve troubled you again, Senior Beichuan."

Qianye Yuki could now walk normally.

Although she still couldn’t run vigorously, compared to her previous life in a wheelchair, Qianye Yuki was especially grateful to Beichuan Si in front of her.

If it weren’t for Beichuan Si, she would probably still be sitting in a wheelchair, and her sister would have had to deal with the Mirror Apartment incident...

It was clear that a life without Beichuan Si was unimaginable.

"Mhm." Beichuan Si responded lightly, then glanced at Nakajima Michika’s expression and very perceptively sent Beichuan Hui Li into her room.

Once Beichuan Hui Li had fully gone upstairs, Beichuan Si spoke:

"It’s about the Nakajima family, right?"

"????" Nakajima Michika.

Nakajima Michika opened her mouth, her face full of question marks: "I haven’t said anything yet, how do you already know?"

Beichuan Si just looked at her emptily, remaining silent.

His message was clear—’It’s just that trivial matter, right?’

"Uh." Nakajima Michika’s face turned red with embarrassment. Unable to find any point to counter Beichuan Si, she stiffly conceded, "Yes, you’re right, it’s about my own family’s affairs."
