You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

“Hmm…that’s true.” Bronya nodded in agreement, then looked at Rosalia. “Rosalia has the worst grades among us.”

"That's right! Rosalia is a big idiot!"

Lilia nodded in agreement, which earned her a glare from Rosalia.

"Lilia, I'm not stupid! Rosalia is very smart!"

"If he's so smart, why did his exam scores come in single digits?"

Lilia retorted with a question that left Rosalia speechless.

No matter how stubborn Rosalia was, her exam results were like "ironclad proof," nailing her to the pillar of shame called "idiot."

"Rosalia, come on, go into the room with Bronya—Bronya will tutor you and help you improve your grades as soon as possible."

"Huh?! I don't want to! Rosalia wants to play the game!"

"No. Rosalia's game time will be confiscated until she passes the exam."

"Bronya, you must be possessed by a demon! I'm going to tell Sirin, so she can use the magic of love and justice to purify you!"

No sooner had Rosalia finished speaking than Lilia tapped Rosalia on the head, silencing her tattling attempt.

hospital.

The injured people gathered here, patiently waiting for medical treatment.

"Next person!"

Qiu Bi saw off an injured person and called out to the people who were queuing.

For people with minor injuries, Qiu Bi would bandage them directly. Only when encountering people with serious injuries would he use a contract to heal their bodies directly.

As a doctor, Qiu Bi didn't actually need to bandage the wound himself, but the hospital nurses were too busy, so he had to do it himself.

gradually.

As fewer and fewer people lined up, Qiu Bi's workload gradually decreased.

With the last civilian's injuries treated, Qiu Bi finally got some rest.

"Why is it suddenly pouring rain? This is really unusual..."

Qiu Bi muttered to himself, then stretched his stiff body slightly before leaving his clinic office.

At this moment, the hospital corridors are dotted with injured people, some looking exhausted, others with worried expressions.

This torrential rain has severely impacted life in Academy City, and it is almost foreseeable that a difficult period of "poverty" will follow.

After all, the area affected by the torrential rain was not only Academy City, but also included Changkong City.

The ground floor of most facilities gets soaked by rainwater, which can lead to the loss of documents or even require renovation.

Qiu Bi's outpatient office is located on the second floor of the hospital, so there is no need to worry about it being soaked by rain.

"Ugh……"

Qiu Bi sighed and was about to return to his outpatient office when a panting nurse called out to him.

"Dr. Qiu Bi, please wait a moment!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Bi stopped in his tracks and looked at the nurse with a puzzled expression.

The nurse took a few seconds to catch her breath and relax her body a little, then continued, "There's a young girl standing in the lobby on the first floor, specifically asking for you—Dr. Qiu Bi. She seems very depressed. Would you like to go and check on her?"

"Girl?"

Qiu Bi was surprised. When did he get into another "debt of love"?

Despite his surprise, he didn't hesitate and immediately went to the lobby on the first floor, instructing the nurse to go and rest.

The nurse gave a tired smile and did not heed Qiu Bi's instructions to rest.

There are still many people who need care, so she cannot rest for the time being.

Not long after, Qiu Bi arrived at the first floor.

At this time, the rainwater on the first floor of the hospital had risen to about 15 cm, enough to submerge people's feet.

Qiu Bi stepped into the rain without a care, letting the rain soak his shoes.

Then, he looked at the girl who was standing blankly in the center of the lobby on the first floor.

"Mei? Why aren't you at home?"

The girl was Raiden Mei, and her body was soaked by the rain, clinging wetly to her graceful figure.

Upon hearing Qiu Bi's voice, Raiden Mei's delicate body trembled, and then she looked at Qiu Bi.

"Dr. Qiu..."

Raiden Mei murmured softly, but didn't react much.

Seeing this, Qiu Bi quickly waded through the rain and walked up to Raiden Mei.

Almost subconsciously, he took off his white coat and draped it over Raiden Mei's body.

"Mei, you shouldn't have come to see me in this torrential rain."

"Dr. Qiu, my father... has been imprisoned."

Raiden Mei's eyelids were lowered, and her voice was slightly hoarse.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Bi was stunned for a moment, unsure how to comfort Raiden Mei.

After a few seconds of silence, Raiden Mei moved closer to Qiu Bi, nestled intimately against his chest, and began to sob softly.

"Mei, it's okay... I'm here."

"Ah."

Raiden Mei murmured softly, gradually stopping her sobs.

Then, she looked up at Qiu Bi, who was so close to her, and a hint of infatuation flashed in her eyes.

Qiu Bi didn't notice this; he simply stroked Raiden Mei's back gently before letting her leave his embrace.

"Dr. Qiu, I'm so sorry, I accidentally got your clothes wet."

"It's okay, it'll just need to be dried in a bit."

"drying?"

"Didn't Shadow tell you? I also possess Herrscher powers. After all... don't you know my abilities?"

Upon hearing this, Raiden Mei suddenly realized what was going on, and then affectionately took Qiu Bi's arm, just as she had when they were children.

However, now they've gone from holding hands to linking arms, and she's even subtly rubbing against Qiu Bi, which is clearly "plotting something."

Qiu Bi led Raiden Mei back to his clinic office, and then, taking advantage of the fact that no one was there to see him, he condensed a blazing lotus flower of fire and precisely dried their clothes.

Unfortunately, even with temporary drying, clothes don't feel the same as normal clothes.

"Mei, Raiden Ryoma is today..."

"Yes, my father was just imprisoned today for allegedly forging financial documents."

Raiden Mei sat obediently on the guest sofa in the outpatient office, looking rather downcast.

Only half a day has passed since Raiden Ryoma went to jail, and Raiden Mei has already seen through her past relationships.

Whether it was the elders familiar to ME-society or the close friends of the past, they all severed ties today, making Raiden Mei realize that these people did not treat her sincerely, but were coveting the name "Raiden Mei".

Looking back over the long 17 years, perhaps the only people who truly cared for him were his deceased mother, his imprisoned father, and Qiu Bi, among others.

Raiden Mei pondered in her heart, her beautiful eyes already showing a barely perceptible ripple as she stared intently at Qiu Bi.

"Then what are your plans for the future?"

Qiu Bi poured Raiden Mei a cup of hot tea, unaware of the look in Raiden Mei's eyes.

Raiden Mei obediently accepted the tea Qiu Bi handed her, then took a small sip: "I...I don't know..."

Raiden Mei looked dejected, her slender index fingers intertwined, seemingly very conflicted.

Then, she mustered her courage and looked Qiu Bi straight in the eyes.

"Dr. Qiu, can I live with you? My father is in prison, and I'm all alone at home... It's too lonely, I don't want to go home..."

"Of course you can, but you should live upstairs from me, since there are only rooms available upstairs."

Qiu Bi silently calculated the number of vacant rooms in the apartment building, and then finalized the room where Raiden Mei would be staying.

After adopting Seele, Rosalia, and Lilia, Qiu Bi and Cecilia bought another apartment.

Meanwhile, in order to make it easier to take care of Seele, Rosalia, and Lilia, Sirin moved to the apartment where the three girls lived, leaving her original room temporarily unused.

If it were any other guest, Qiu Bi would never allow them to stay in Xilin's room, and Xilin would not agree to let them stay in her room either.

However, when the guest is Raiden Mei, there are not so many concerns.

After all, in Sirin's eyes, Raiden Mei will always be the "Mei-chan" she always was.

As the older sister, it is only natural for her to give her room to her younger sister.

At least, that's what Celine thinks.

Chapter 126 Sirin's "Face Cleanser"

Raiden Mei had no objection to Qiu Bi's arrangements; as long as she could stay at Qiu Bi's house, she was fine with staying in whose room.

"Mei, why don't you sit here for a while? I haven't finished get off work yet, so you might have to wait a bit."

"It's okay, I can wait patiently."

Raiden Mei smiled faintly, then sipped her tea and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Qiu Bi sat back down behind his desk and patiently recorded the day's work, occasionally glancing up at Raiden Mei to observe her condition.

However, whenever this happens, Raiden Mei will often meet Qiu Bi's gaze and then show a cute yet dignified smile.

"Mei."
