Life Healing

"No."

There was nothing unusual in the entire room; Haruto was very sure of that.

So, it was actually just a false alarm.

He looked at Shouko and carefully observed her face.

Her face was slightly pale, and her eyes were dark. Overall, she looked a bit weak.

Shouko sat on the floor, hugging her knees, her pink hair slightly disheveled.

Perhaps because Haruto's gaze was too direct, Shouko quickly noticed it. A touch of bright pink appeared on her face again.

"Hello!"

Yuzuru tugged at Haruto's clothes and said in a displeased voice, "Stop staring at Onee-chan!"

Haruto was speechless and said, "I'm not staring."

Yuzuru crossed her arms and said, "Who knows if you have other thoughts. Let me state beforehand that you shouldn't overthink. Onee-chan would never agree to date you."

'After seeing what just happened, your mind must be filled with dirty and disgusting thoughts. Indeed, all men are like this. Onee-chan is weak and doesn't want to talk to you, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.'

Yuigahama waved, "Kuromori-kun, come over here."

"Mm."

Haruto walked closer and looked at Shouko, "Good afternoon."

Shouko shyly smiled and raised her notebook, "Good afternoon, Kuromori-kun."

Among all the voices, Haruto's voice was the clearest and could be heard effortlessly.

Moreover, his voice was very pleasant.

If she could, Shouko hoped to interact with him more, as it would help her a lot.

But now, she was too shy to socialize with him. After what just happened, anyone would feel embarrassed.

Haruto sat cross-legged and said, "I think you're not feeling well. If you don't mind, I can help you check it out."

"Eh?"

Beside him, Yuigahama asked curiously, "Is Kuromori-kun still going to see the doctor?"

Yukino and Yuzuru also sat down. After hearing this, they all looked at Haruto with doubt in their eyes.

Haruto said, "I've studied traditional Chinese medicine."

This wasn't just talk. He had indeed studied Chinese medicine.

Because the culture of traditional Chinese medicine is vast and ancient, involving various aspects, and has elements that are difficult to address with Western medicine.

There's a saying on the Internet: Western medicine clearly shows you how you'll die, but Chinese medicine will make you live in confusion.

In some ways, this also illustrates the greatness of traditional Chinese medicine.

It's unfortunate that traditional Chinese medicine is now marginalized, but other countries pay attention to it. He had to say that this was quite ironic.

"Chinese medicine?"

Yuigahama looked at him with wide eyes and said in surprise, "Is Kuromori-kun a mysterious old Chinese doctor who can cure all diseases?"

A few black lines appeared on Haruto's forehead, "I can't cure all diseases, and I'm not an ancient Chinese doctor!"

No matter which Chinese medicine doctor, it's impossible to cure all diseases!

Anyone who dares to claim that is 100% a liar!

He had heard that most traditional Chinese medicine doctors in hospitals today were people with little talent and knowledge. On the contrary, they were old doctors with a small reputation in remote areas who had real talent and deep knowledge!

"Eh—

Yuigahama said disappointedly, "So that's not the case. What a pity..."

'What kind of misunderstanding do you have about ancient Chinese medicine practitioners? They're not gods, so how could they cure all diseases? Not to mention, just talk about advanced cancer in modern society; ancient Chinese medicine practitioners definitely wouldn't be able to cure it!'

'The best they could do is allow terminal cancer patients to live a little longer!'

Haruto said disdainfully, "Yui, if you have nothing to do, read more books and shop less."

"Hmm~~" Yuigahama puffed out her cheeks, reached out to poke him, and said unhappily, "Kuromori-kun is too much. I obviously worked hard too! I got into Sobu High School with very good results!"

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Yukino interrupted the two and looked at Shouko, "Shouko, do you want to let Kuromori-kun try?"

Shouko looked at Haruto curiously, thought for a moment, and shyly extended her hand.

Haruto didn't hesitate and grabbed Shouko's hand.

Her hand was very cold, almost like an ice cube.

Haruto felt the chill, but Shouko felt something entirely different.

'So warm...' Shouko felt as if her entire body was warming up, as if she had just soaked in a hot spring in winter, and her whole body felt comfortable.

*JIIII*

Yuigahama placed her hands on the ground and leaned in, staring without blinking.

Haruto raised his eyes and said, "Yui, what are you doing?"

This look made him feel like his character was seriously insulted.

If he really wanted to take advantage, even with everyone watching here, they wouldn't notice at all!

Hypnosis!

Yuigahama stuck out her pink tongue and said in a mischievous and sweet tone, "It's because I'm curious. After all, Kuromori-kun is a mysterious old Chinese doctor..."

Haruto could only complain inwardly and ignored Yuigahama. He calmed himself slightly and activated his superpower "Life Healing."

Life Healing couldn't cure Shouko's hearing impairment.

It could only restore her body's health.

In modern terms, it meant rejuvenating the body, boosting the immune system, making it healthy.

The others didn't feel anything.

However, Shouko felt very different.

She felt very comfortable, and all the cells in her body seemed to be cheering. It was so comfortable that she wanted to open her mouth and make a sound.

It was the instinctive pleasure that came from the level of life.

Shouko raised her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes quickly becoming misty. She looked up at Haruto, then quickly turned away in embarrassment and panic.

She felt like her heart was about to leap out of her chest, her eyes filled with shame and panic, and she was momentarily confused.

On the one hand, that strange feeling made her feel a bit uncomfortable and want to pull her hand back.

On the other hand, there was an instinctive reluctance.

Humans can't be entirely rational, and often, they can't be rational at all.

This is the instinctive greed for life. In other words, it means 'don't speak with your mouth, but be honest with your body.' It could also be said that 'the soul is awake, but the body betrays the soul.'

Seeing Shouko's strange expression, Haruto had a few question marks in his head.

This look reminded him of the heroines in some study dramas stored on his computer.

He couldn't say they were the same, but the resemblance was over 80%!

What was going on?

Why did it turn out like this?

Haruto instinctively felt that something was wrong.
