Hayakawa silently turned his head away, quickening his movements.

Chapter 567 The Ancient Bridge for Bathing

"Don't reject me like that, it's so hurtful..."

Fumino Furuhashi's smile was quite chilling, and she was about to say something when she suddenly froze.

It was only at this moment that Furuhashi realized that her stomach was no longer as uncomfortable as before, and her tense mood had also eased a lot. She immediately realized that this was all Hayakawa's way of diverting her attention. She was both annoyed and amused, but a warm feeling involuntarily welled up in her heart.

"That's almost it."

Hayakawa Mifune's expression softened considerably, and she finally released her grip, letting out a long sigh as if she had suffered a great deal of exhaustion.

I have indeed suffered a lot.

He had to knead and pinch Fumino Furuhashi's smooth belly, not only massaging her carefully but also chatting with her to ease her tension. He also had to maintain a perfect facial expression and prevent his body from reacting in any way. All these difficulties combined made it quite challenging.

Hayakawa felt a burning sensation on his forehead, and he felt even more tired than when he was playing the board game.

Is this what it feels like to take care of girls? It must be really tough. So, when I had a fever and got sick before, did they take care of me like this?

"If it still hurts later, don't hide it from me, tell me immediately."

Hayakawa was somewhat moved, but he still didn't forget to give Furuhashi some advice.

"Uh-huh."

Feeling much better, Gu Qiao sat up and nodded repeatedly.

"I've already bought you some stomach medicine online, it should be delivered soon." Hayakawa continued, "If anyone knocks on the door later, tell me, don't get out of bed and let me go get it. If your stomach hurts again tonight, take the medicine, and if it still doesn't work, I'll take you to the hospital."

"Hmm...I know."

Fumino Furuhashi's eyes reddened slightly, somewhat moved by Hayakawa in front of her.

After arguing with her family, running away from home due to her father's lack of understanding, spending a lonely night in a hotel, and reluctantly staying at Hayakawa's house despite her embarrassment, how could Furuhashi Fumino not be moved by such meticulous care?

"I…"

Fumino Furuhashi's gaze fell on the boy in front of her, her face burning hot. She quickly looked towards the bathroom and said, "I...I'm going to take a shower. Yes, I'm a little sleepy and want to rest. It's about time I took a shower and went to bed!"

"Huh, take a bath?"

Hayakawa frowned slightly and suggested, "Are you still going to take a shower now? Maybe you shouldn't. You had a stomachache from catching a chill earlier, and if you catch another chill after showering, you might feel pain all over your body. How about you shower tomorrow?"

"No."

Upon hearing this, Fumino Furuhashi immediately shook her head and said, "I take a bath every day; I'm already used to it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she blushed and looked away.

This is a lie.

Fumino Furuhashi is usually very clean and takes a bath every day. If she goes out for some reason, she might even take a bath twice a day. But "normal" doesn't mean she takes a bath every time.

When she's feeling lazy, engrossed in a favorite TV series, tired from studying, or the hot water in the bathtub isn't hot enough... Fumino Furuhashi doesn't necessarily have to take a shower in these situations. She can just shower the next day, since she's generally not dirty anyway.

I'm afraid only people with obsessive-compulsive disorder would feel the need to take a shower every day.

Fumino Furuhashi thought this way, but her words when facing breakfast were completely different.

the reason is simple:

I haven't showered all day, but he told me to shower tomorrow, which means I haven't showered at all today...

If I agree to this, wouldn't it make me seem like a sloppy, unclean woman at home?!

Even Hayakawa herself showers every day, while I, a delicate and pure young girl, can go an entire day without showering. Isn't that even worse than Hayakawa?!

Fantasy Time:

"Did Guqiao not usually take showers at home? She even showers less often than I do."

"I misjudged her. She's completely different from what she appears to be. Is this what hypocrisy is...?"

"How sloppy!"

……

Absolutely don't do this kind of thing!

"No, I must take a shower."

Fumino Furuhashi suddenly sat up straight and said decisively, "I won't be able to sleep if I don't take a shower."

"..."

Is it really that exaggerated? Insomnia from not showering... that's practically a mental illness.

"I usually shower every day at home; it's a habit I've had since I was a child,"

Fumino Furuhashi blinked, glancing away somewhat guiltily, and said, "If I go to sleep without showering all day, I always feel uncomfortable. It's just a habit, hahaha."

I'm sorry, Hayakawa-san, I'm so sorry for deceiving you to save face for a young girl!

"No need."

Hayakawa glanced at Furuhashi: "Your body isn't dirty, so it doesn't matter whether you wash it tonight or not. You can just get up early tomorrow to fix it, right?"

"How can taking a bath help you recover?"

Upon hearing this, Fumino Furuhashi did not relax. Instead, she subconsciously recalled the scene of Hayakawa massaging her lower abdomen earlier. She felt that he could smell her scent, and her pretty face immediately turned red at a visible speed. She shook her head repeatedly and said, "I want to wash."

"It's really troublesome."

Seeing that he couldn't stop her, Hayakawa could only stand up and go to the bathroom again to get water for Fumino Furuhashi.

"what…"

Fumino Furuhashi watched Hayakawa's departing figure and murmured as if she wanted to stop him, but she didn't call out. Her guilt swelled to the extreme.

I've really gone too far. Staying at Hayakawa's house is already troublesome enough, and then I added to his burden by having a stomachache, and now I'm insisting on taking a shower for some inexplicable reason...

He must think I'm annoying.

As Fumino Furuhashi thought about it, she became dejected, hugged her knees, buried her head in them, and sat motionless on the sofa.

……

What water temperature would be suitable for bathing on this ancient bridge?

Hayakawa stood on the bathroom floor, holding the showerhead in her hand, her brows furrowed, as if pondering an extremely difficult question.

As we all know, adjusting the water temperature for a bath is extremely difficult. Everyone prefers a different water temperature due to their different physical conditions. Moreover, most people take a shower before taking a bath. When turning on the water to take a shower, it is not easy to adjust the water temperature. And if the water temperature is adjusted beforehand and then cools down after the bath, it is very troublesome.

In addition, girls are generally able to adapt to higher water temperatures than boys, so it is difficult for Hayakawa to adjust the water temperature using his usual experience.

"Um…"

Hayakawa hesitated for a moment, then decided to give it a try.

Chapter 568 Delinquent Girl Furuhashi

Hayakawa tested the water temperature briefly, adjusted it to a suitable temperature, and then placed the shower head into the fish tank to add water.

"Furuhashi, come check the water temperature!" Hayakawa called out to the outside, and soon Furuhashi Fumino pushed open the door and carefully walked into the bathroom.

She tested the water temperature in the bathtub, nodded, and said, "The water temperature is just right. Thank you, Hayakawa-san."

"It's okay, you go ahead and wash, I'll wait for you outside."

Hayakawa muttered, then left the enclosed bathroom and returned to the living room.

Sitting on the sofa, Hayakawa quietly took out a book and waited for Fumino Furuhashi to finish her shower while reading.

……

Girls usually take longer to shower than boys, and Fumino Furuhashi was no exception. It wasn't until Hayakawa had read more than ten pages of his literature book that Fumino Furuhashi's voice came from the bathroom.

"Hayakawa, Hayakawa,"

The girl's voice sounded a little distorted through the door: "Could you get me a nightgown? I forgot to bring one."

"Uh…"

Hayakawa thought for a moment and said, "Do you need me to bring your suitcase over?"

"No need, no need. I left in a hurry when I ran away from home and didn't take my pajamas. Just give me any clothes or shorts you have."

Fumino Furuhashi leaned over the doorway and spoke to the outside.

"it is good."

Hayakawa returned to her bedroom and took out a clean, off-white shirt and black shorts from the closet. They had just dried and were very loose, especially since they were men's style, making them perfect as pajamas for Fumino Furuhashi.

"Are these two okay?"

Hayakawa knocked twice on the door, then the door opened, and a wet hand reached out from inside, grabbed the clothes, and took them away.

"Ok, Ok."

Fumino Furuhashi said that Hayakawa went back to sit on the sofa after hearing this.

Not long after, Fumino Furuhashi, who had changed into clothes and shorts, came out. Hayakawa looked in that direction and his eyes lit up.

The oversized top looked very loose and comfortable on the girl, as did the shorts, which only revealed two sections of her fair legs. Her face, which was free of makeup, still had a faint blush after taking a bath, and her fair and smooth skin made her look incredibly pure.

Hayakawa's eyes changed slightly. He didn't know why he was inexplicably excited. He usually saw Furuhashi Fumino looking cute in his clothes, but he never had such an exaggerated reaction. But now, seeing her wearing his clothes, he could hardly contain himself.

Noticing Hayakawa's intense gaze, Fumino Furuhashi's already embarrassed face turned even redder. She turned her head away from his eyes and hurriedly changed the subject, asking, "What book are you reading?"

"this one?"

Hayakawa glanced at the cover of his book and said, "The History of Nordic Churches."

The title sounds like it's about the evolution of church styles in Northern Europe, but don't be misled by the name. It's actually a literary book. How could Hayakawa read a book unrelated to his studies? He would only read it if it could improve his humanities grades.

"Ah, it's this book. It's quite good."

Upon hearing this, Fumino Furuhashi suddenly realized and nodded, saying, "I've seen it before, but I haven't seen it a second time."

So you've been secretly reading humanities books behind my back again, haven't you?

Hayakawa's face darkened almost imperceptibly for a moment, but he didn't explode. By now, he wouldn't make a fuss over trivial matters.

The two sat together and chatted, talking about everything from school to home.

"Oh, right, I wanted to tell you about Hayakawa-san," Fumino Furuhashi suddenly said, her expression turning serious as if she had just remembered something, "There's been a bullying incident at our school recently?"

"Bullying?"

Hayakawa was somewhat surprised. Of course, he wasn't unaware of what bullying was. Even if he lacked common sense, he wouldn't be unaware of the meaning of bullying. It was just that Hayakawa felt unfamiliar with the term because he had never been exposed to this topic since childhood. Therefore, bullying seemed to him as something that only existed in movies and TV shows.

Now, Furuhashi suddenly says that there is a bullying incident at Ichinose High School, which makes Hayakawa somewhat incredulous.

"Yeah, that's really going too far, but it's not just us freshmen, it's the sophomores."

Gu Qiao nodded repeatedly and said, "It was Lu Yuan who told me."

They heard about it from an older student they knew in her second year of high school.

"Uh... how exactly is this bullying?"

Hayakawa hesitated for a moment, then said, "Should I grab a fire extinguisher from behind and smash it on my head?"

"...This isn't just bullying, it's intentional assault. Even ordinary yakuza wouldn't be this vicious,"

Fumino Furuhashi said expressionlessly, "It was just verbal abuse."

"Is that all?" Hayakawa immediately lost interest upon hearing this: "Verbal attacks don't really qualify as bullying."

If verbal abuse counts as bullying, then Hayakawa should be the number one delinquent at Ichinose High School, because he used to verbally abuse Fumino Furuhashi and Riju Ogata almost every day while teaching.

"Hayakawa-kun, you don't understand this. Children who are bullied are very vulnerable. Just being accused by a few people can cause them great harm."

Fumino Furuhashi said with a serious face: "You can't look at them with the same perspective as ordinary people. For example, some people always use the name of friendship to make you run errands or buy this and that. If you don't want to go, they will publicly say 'you are not a good friend' and embarrass you. This kind of behavior is also bullying."

Hayakawa frowned slightly. Was there anyone in this school who would dare to let him go off-topic? If there was, Hayakawa would like to see for himself.

"Still don't understand? Hmm... then let me give you a simulation."

Fumino Furuhashi hesitated for a moment, then reached out and rubbed her cheeks. When she let go, her expression changed, turning into that of an arrogant and flamboyant wicked woman.

Hey, I'm talking to Hayakawa.

Fumino Furuhashi put her hands on her hips and said gruffly, "Didn't I tell you to buy me a drink? Why didn't you bring it back?"

"..."
