Falling in love with my stalker - Chapter 17- His fluster

I rushed out of the class without paying attention to my hand. My entire focus remained on finding Takeuchi-san. She was mad at me and rightfully was so. I not only arrived at school with another girl but I also held her hand.

If Takeuchi-san had done the same with some other boy, I might have ended up beating that guy into oblivion. However, Takeuchi-san was different.

In the place of Hanekawa-san, she chose to hurt herself.

“Sawaruma Shou-kun?! What happened to your hand?” I was suddenly interrupted by the science teacher who was heading toward his class.

I barely held myself from clicking my tongue before I turned toward him with a smile and notified him of the obvious, “I pricked my palm. Going to the infirmary.”

“Heh? What is happening with students these days? I just saw Rumi-kun also having the same pr-”

“Takeuchi-san?!” The teacher was startled by my raised voice as he stepped back.

“Sensei, where was she going?” I didn’t pay heed to his shock and asked him impatiently. I could no longer care for being suspected when things have come to this.

“I-I sent her to the infirmary just now…” The teacher pointed toward the end of the lobby, where the infirmary was located.

I bowed to thank him before making my way toward my destination.

“How can you injure yourself with your own nails, Rumi? Did you get overly excited for something?” Rumi clicked her tongue hearing those words of concern from the school nurse.

This character was someone she didn’t want to come face to face with.

The school nurse—Hirakawa Hitomi was someone who treated Rumi as just a normal student; just because she was an ex-classmate and a friend of her mother.

“Do your job.” Hearing Rumi’s grumble the older one sighed before she finished cleaning up the wound and applying the necessary disinfectant.

It was not a surprise that Rumi didn’t even flinch upon getting the liquid applied to her cuts.

Hitomi went toward the cupboard to get the bandages which made her skirt ride up a little.

“Can’t you wear something appropriate?” Rumi coldly asked as her eyes went toward the pink undergarment the older one wore under her skirt.

Hitomi was unfazed by the venomous tongue of her niece before she turned to look at her with bandages being held in her hand.

“I am at my prime age to wear some revealing clothes and entice some hormone-raging young men. Don’t take away my freedoms, Rumi-chan.”

Rumi rolled her eyes before she turned her face toward the window. She just couldn’t stand this woman.

Hitomi was about to sit back on her seat and patch up the patient’s wounds—when suddenly, the door of the infirmary slid open, to expose a young man standing on the other side.

Rumi’s eyes slightly widened upon seeing Shou…only for her to panic greatly upon seeing the clotted blood on his palm as she got up from her seat,

“What happened, Shou-kun?! Who hurt you?”

Rumi advanced toward the boy before she held his palm and inspected his injury with a worried visage.

“Oh my, do you know him, Rumi-chan?”

Shou, who was about to respond to Rumi, flinched upon hearing the nurse’s voice. He instinctively snatched his hand away and walked toward the nurse,

“We are classmates, Sensei. Umm…can you wrap my wound as well.”

Just as Shou walked three steps ahead, he was suddenly pulled behind the curtains and made to sit on the bed.

The transition was so fast that Shou realized his repositioning a moment later after he sat down.

Rumi wasn’t going to have any of those hiding shit at the moment. Her beloved was hurt and all was that it mattered.

Rumi was currently kneeling on the ground with her eyes roaming around his palm and her visage beholding an expression, which made Shou slightly concerned.

How can someone be so caring—he inwardly thought.

“Who was it?” Her eyes suddenly upturned to look at Shou, before she asked.

Those red orbs contained nothing but murderous intent. She was desperate to know who dared to hurt her Shou-kun. To make him bleed…Rumi would compensate with blood as well.

However, hearing Shou’s voice, she seemingly got startled, “I stabbed myself with my pen…since I wanted to follow you. And I am glad, I did.” Cupping her left cheek, he smiled.

Rumi’s eyes remained parted for a good while before she could no longer hold her agitation and surprise.

Resting her head on his knee, she muttered in a voice that only Shou could hear, “Why are you so sweet, Shou-kun?”

Shou tilted his head in confusion but before he could ask anything, he heard someone’s voice from nearby,

“So he is the person who stole my precious niece’s heart?”

Shou was surprised to find Hitomi so near him as she sat inches beside him and looked at his face with a narrowed gaze.

“N-Niece?” Although he tried, Hitomi’s exposed cleavage got his attention for a moment before he looked away and asked in a panicked tone.

Hitomi raised her brows as a sly smile formed on her lips upon seeing that reaction.

“Rumi’s mother and I were classmates once and still are friends. I heard from Mayuri about something-something, but didn’t expect to see you this soon~”

Feeling Hitomi’s body pressing against his, Shou flinched. Since she was Rumi’s aunt, he couldn’t just tell her to back off, nor could he just suddenly get up—given how Rumi was positioned at the moment.

Thankfully someone came to his rescue, “Keeping your paws, off him!”

Rumi got up before she pulled him into an embrace and forced his face into her bosom to protect her pure Shou from such a vile creature.

Hitomi raised her brows seeing such a possessive response before she asked, “So it’s true, huh? You and Sawaruma are dating.”

“Yes.” Rumi’s eyes were filled with tundra-level coldness as she glared like a poisonous serpent in the older one’s direction.

Hitomi soon raised her hands before accepting her defeat, “Well, I will back off for now. But you need to treat his wound in my stead Rumi.”

Rumi didn’t respond to that as she saw Hitomi finally walking away.

Looking down at Shou, Rumi was about to ask him something…only to find her eyes slightly widening upon finding his tomato-red face and his eyes spiraling.

“Shou-kun? Shou-kun!”

Shou was in heavens~
