Chapter 14: The gameplay is a bit extreme

“Since it was just a misunderstanding, and you’re fine mentally, I’ll head back to work now. If anything comes up, make sure to tell your teacher. Qingwen, let’s go back.” 

Teacher Chen stood up, preparing to leave.

This school nurse was truly a good person, just a bit of a slacker.

You could also say she was smooth enough to avoid offending anyone.

She’d help if she could, within her ability, but would never let one person’s issue delay her own work.

“Teacher Chen, you go ahead. I still have something I want to say to him.” 

Sakiharu Wen said in a low voice.

“Alright then.” 

Teacher Chen could see there were a lot of conflicts among these young people.

If she, an outsider, stuck around, it’d just make it harder for them to talk. 

She decided to let them have a moment alone.

“Teacher, wait…” 

Li Zuhao suddenly looked frightened, putting on a pitiful expression and calling out in a whisper.

But he didn’t say it in advance—he waited until Teacher Chen was pulling open the door to leave, waited until she was already out of earshot before calling out.

The reason was simple—because it was meant for Sakiharu Wen to hear.

Now that only the two of them were left, Li Zuhao instantly became timid, eyes darting around, too scared to make a sound.

All these little details were caught by Sakiharu Wen. 

She’d wanted to ask a lot of questions, but now that she opened her mouth, she didn’t know what to say.

Even though she knew Li Zuhao wasn’t the peeping pervert from yesterday, should she admit she was wrong?

Admit she was wrong?

To someone who used to be such a scumbag?

So what if he’s changed now?

Just because he’s a good person now, does that mean he was never bad?

If she says sorry now, does it erase all the pain from before?

These complicated little emotions swirled in Sakiharu Wen’s heart.

She realized that admitting fault and apologizing was much harder than she thought.

“Nothing.”

In the end, Sakiharu Wen said nothing and turned to leave.

But as Li Zuhao watched her swaying back and dazed steps, he knew just how chaotic her feelings were.

When the Sword Club Ace turned her back, Li Zuhao’s timid demeanor vanished in an instant, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

He rejoiced inwardly: Plan Pass!

The seed of guilt had already been planted in the Sword Club Ace’s heart.

All he needed to do now was water it daily and it would sprout.

And now, with all the girls gone, Li Zuhao could finally take a break.

He lay down on the hospital bed, pulled the blanket over himself, and drifted off to sleep.

Faking sick to get a day off—so comfortable.

But just as Li Zuhao settled in, the door to the ward was pushed open.

“Li, we need to transfer you to another ward.”

Several nurses came in and moved him out of his expensive private room to a shared ward with multiple beds.

Li Zuhao couldn’t help but feel a wave of desolation. 

The beds around him were filled with sickly old men, and the air was thick with odd smells.

All the old men had visiting family; only he had no one.

In this noisy environment, Li Zuhao felt completely out of place.

Other than sleep, what else could he do?

Scan to follow

But who knows how long he slept?

Li Zuhao suddenly felt suffocated, like he was suffering sleep paralysis—it was horribly uncomfortable.

“Eh?” 

He cracked open one eye, and instantly felt a chill run down his back.

Because this wasn’t sleep paralysis—someone was actually sitting on top of him, stirring.

A silver-haired nurse in white, wearing a ghost mask.

The most important thing was that this was a shared ward, surrounded by old men.

What on earth was this woman doing?

The shared ward’s lights were off, but there were still plenty of indicator lights from medical devices.

So it wasn’t pitch black—

Li Zuhao could barely make out his surroundings.

Fortunately, the old men were all asleep. 

The room was filled with the sound of their steady breathing; no one was paying attention to the strange nurse on this bed.

The Ghost Masked Nurse heard Li Zuhao waking up and immediately covered his mouth, preventing him from speaking.

“If you can calm down, blink.” 

The Ghost Masked Nurse whispered in Li Zuhao’s ear.

“Mmm-mmm?” 

Li Zuhao blinked obediently.

The Ghost Masked Nurse removed her hand from his mouth and slowly sat up.

Of course, she still didn’t let go of his weak spot.

“Who are you? What are you doing?” 

Li Zuhao asked in a tiny, weak voice, like a frightened chick.

“Heh, I like your tone and expression right now. When you were a little tyrant, did you ever think you’d end up like this?” 

The Ghost Masked Nurse let out a triumphant laugh.

“Miss Bai?” 

Li Zuhao asked tentatively.

Because her tone sounded a lot like that Bai Wuchang.

But his question was met with a heavy, oppressive silence.

“………………Who is Miss Bai?” 

The Ghost Masked Nurse asked coldly.

Her fingers tightened a little more.

It didn’t really hurt—actually, it felt kind of nice—but that’s exactly what made it uncomfortable.

He shouldn’t be enjoying this; he ought to be suffering.

With no other choice, Li Zuhao forcibly controlled his expression, not daring to show any sign of enjoyment, continuing to act like a timid little chick.

“Mysterious Mommy?” 

Li Zuhao tried another name.

The Ghost Masked Nurse froze for a moment, her fingers tightening further.

“Ow, ow, it’s gonna break!” 

Li Zuhao couldn’t hold back.

“You sure know a lot of women.” 

The Ghost Masked Nurse sneered, but finally let go of Li Zuhao.

“Phew~” 

Li Zuhao let out a long breath.

So this Ghost Masked Nurse wasn’t Bai Wuchang, nor was she the lurking maniac at home, Mysterious Mommy. 

Was she a brand new Yandere Girl?

Yandere Girls popped up like weeds—one wave after another.

His strategies with the Delinquent Gal and the Sword Club Ace had just started to make a little progress, and now another expert had shown up?

He still hadn’t figured out the true identity of the Mysterious Mommy at home, and now here was a nurse in a ghost mask?

Both of them went out of their way to hide their faces, even changing their voices so he couldn’t guess who they really were.

Hmm? 

Wait a minute…………………

As Li Zuhao mulled it over, a sudden inspiration struck.

Didn’t a familiar face just show up?

There weren’t that many women who knew he was staying in this hospital—could it be her?

Li Zuhao continued to test her, apologizing in a soft voice, “Sorry, I apologize. I promise I’ll never bother you again.”

“Hmph, there’s no need to promise. You’ve never actually bothered me.” 

The Ghost Masked Nurse replied quickly.

“Then………………why?” 

Li Zuhao feigned confusion.

But in truth, he’d already guessed her true identity.

From the way she spoke, this woman had to be the High School Division Student Council Vice President, Hao Tianhui!
