Who said flowers don't bloom twice? They bloom once at night and again in the morning.

However, Silence Suzuka clearly underestimated how quickly time passed, and in the end, Special Week's call came through.

After a brief explanation, Special Week and her group rushed to Lu Jue's house.

"Silence Suzuka! Are you really okay now?" Special Week gripped Silence Suzuka's hands, tears streaming down her face in excitement.

"Yes, I've fully recovered, Xiao Te."

"That's wonderful! Silence Suzuka, my senior!" Tokai Teio was genuinely happy for Silence Suzuka.

"Silence Suzuka, Uralala also brought you some flowers." Uralala pulled out a bouquet of vibrant flowers, "Uralala picked these herself yesterday."

The other Uma Musume also offered their blessings, and Silence Suzuka thanked each of them.

After they were seated, Silence Suzuka poured a cup of tea for everyone, "Thank you all for caring so much about me."

Seiun Sky watched Silence Suzuka's actions, wondering if Silence Suzuka seemed a bit like the mistress of this house.

"Silence Suzuka, where's the Trainer?"

As soon as Seiun Sky finished asking, Lu Jue walked out of the bathroom.

As for why he needed to shower? If he didn't, he would still smell of Silence Suzuka.

"Everyone's here." Lu Jue also sat down.

"Trainer, the medical team you hired is too amazing! I can't believe they actually cured Silence Suzuka!"

Special Week's gaze was both adoring and grateful; although she hadn't experienced it herself, that didn't mean she didn't understand the severity of a fracture.

Yet, Lu Jue had somehow made a miracle happen in just one night.

The other Uma Musume had similar thoughts to Special Week.

"About that..." Lu Jue glanced at Silence Suzuka, "I'm sorry, I actually lied to everyone. How could there be such advanced medical technology?"

Silence Suzuka took over, "Let me explain."

...

Then, Silence Suzuka briefly explained the whole story.

The originally cheerful atmosphere, the moment Silence Suzuka finished speaking, became like stagnant water, utterly silent.

No one knew that Lu Jue would go to such lengths...

Seiun Sky lowered her eyes, the shadow under her long hair obscuring the changing expressions on her face.

"Trainer..." Special Week suddenly couldn't smile anymore.

After the initial shock, Tokai Teio sighed like a deflated balloon.

Rice Shower covered her small mouth, looking at Lu Jue.

Nimble Beret held the teacup in her hand, lost in thought.

"Trainer." Uralala, with red eyes, came to Lu Jue's side, "Your legs must hurt a lot, right? Uralala will massage them for you from now on, okay?"

Lu Jue rubbed Uralala's head, "It doesn't hurt. Perhaps my actions moved the Three Goddesses, so they didn't let me feel pain. It's just that I can't run anymore."

It was like a small stone thrown into stagnant water, not even a ripple was stirred.

"It's just that I can't run, it's not like I'll be in a wheelchair for life, right?" Lu Jue took a deep breath, "Everyone, listen to me. This was my own choice, and it's the best outcome."

"The person involved is optimistic and happy, so why are all of you looking so down? Cheer up, I'll make you all something delicious tonight."

"Or maybe I can walk a few steps for you all now?"

...

Thanks to Lu Jue's efforts, the atmosphere finally eased considerably.

However, they no longer let Lu Jue prepare dinner and asked him to take some time off before returning to school.

"Trainer, if you don't rest well, Uralala won't train seriously!" Uralala turned her head to the side, pouting angrily.

"Rice Shower too..." Rice Shower clenched her fists, looking earnestly at Lu Jue.

"Please rest well, Trainer. We will motivate ourselves," Tokai Teio promised.

In the corner, Seiun Sky still had her head down, saying nothing.

Lu Jue looked at her worriedly and said to the others, "I understand. I'll take five days off. Are you all relieved now?"

"That's more like it." Special Week pulled out a carrot from somewhere, "Trainer, eating more carrots might help with recovery."

"Thank you for your kindness, then."

"Xiao Te, why only one?" Uralala turned back to Lu Jue and said, "Trainer, tomorrow I'll bring you a beautiful bouquet of flowers. What color do you like?"

"I like any color Uralala brings."

"Eh!? Trainer, tomorrow I'll bring you a box of carrots... No, Trainer, I'll bring as many as you want to eat."

...

The Uma Musume had to return to school for training in the afternoon, so they didn't stay long at Lu Jue's place.

Before leaving, Silence Suzuka glanced at Seiun Sky, who was still sitting in her seat, while Lu Jue gave Silence Suzuka a reassuring look.

After the others had left, Lu Jue walked over to Seiun Sky and gently nudged her, "Little Seiun? Why aren't you talking? Are you asleep?"

Seiun Sky didn't say anything and pushed Lu Jue's hand away.

"Are you angry?" Lu Jue cupped Seiun Sky's face and only then saw her tear-filled eyes.

She pursed her lips, stubbornly enduring, but the moment her gaze met Lu Jue's, tears gushed out like a broken dam.

Why is she crying so sadly...

Lu Jue couldn't help but feel guilty.

He wiped away her tears and picked her up, sitting her on the sofa.

Facing her, with her sitting on his lap, he wasn't afraid she would resist or look away anymore.

"Seiun, will you talk to me?"

Seiun Sky's delicate body trembled, and the accumulated grievances burst forth at that moment, "You selfish jerk, I don't want to like you anymore... You didn't even ask about my feelings, you didn't think about how I would feel, woo woo woo..."

"How about I apologize to you? I'm sorry, don't cry."

Lu Jue continuously kissed her lips, kissing away her salty tears.

This kiss was bitter, yet profound.

She was saying angry words, how could Lu Jue not know? Ultimately, it was because Seiun Sky cared about him.

"I won't forgive you, I hate you, I hate you..." Seiun Sky sobbed but no longer resisted, actively wrapping her arms around Lu Jue's neck and burying her face in his shoulder.

Lu Jue gently patted her back, "Seiun, if it were you, I would also do this without hesitation. Although I'm very sorry... this is my choice, and I won't regret it, no matter how many times."

"I know..." How could Seiun Sky forget the original reason she liked Lu Jue? But even so, her heart still ached, and she cried out petulantly, "Hold me tighter... You don't know how sad I am."

"Okay, I'm holding you very tightly."

Finally, Seiun Sky leaned against Lu Jue's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Jue was also afraid of waking her, so he stayed in an embrace, guarding the princess who had fallen asleep after being worried because of him.
