Generally speaking, if it's just a high serum testosterone level without accompanying symptoms or pathological factors, special treatment is usually not necessary.

"Mr. Hayashi Yoshiki, your condition just requires regular check-ups. As long as we confirm there are no major changes, it's fine."

"You don't need to worry too much about it."

After all, there are inherent differences in people's constitutions. For example, some people are born with their heart located in the center-right of their chest. As long as the other organs are in their normal positions and only the heart is mirrored, it's not usually considered a health problem.

The doctor's response after getting the test results was reassuring.

Ran, who was standing by, immediately showed a happy expression.

"As for your daily life..."

At this point, the doctor glanced at Hayashi Yoshiki and then at the pretty and lovely girl beside him. He had a strong impression of this girl—the last time Mr. Hayashi Yoshiki came for a check-up, this same girl was with him.

So, they must be in a relationship, right?

He naturally assumed so. After all, the contents of Hayashi Yoshiki's medical examination were indeed a bit awkward. If they were siblings or something else instead of a couple, it would be rather strange.

"Since you have a girlfriend, Mr. Hayashi Yoshiki, I'll be direct."

"I don't think it's good to endure the troubles this brings too much. Firstly, high testosterone can increase aggressiveness, competitiveness, and anxiety. If there's a lack of sexual release, it could exacerbate emotional stress and fluctuations."

"Additionally, you also have to consider prostate health..."

What on earth is he talking about!

Ran, who had just been happy, listened to the doctor's words, and the expression on her face gradually froze.

Her face slowly turned red, and her gaze became dazed.

For a long time after that, she couldn't hear what the doctor was saying... She didn't even know when she left the medical center.

It was only when she was sitting in Hayashi Yoshiki's car and he started the engine that she gradually came back to her senses.

"Do you want to go get some cake?"

"...Yes."

Her pretty face was flushed red.

As a mere 16-year-old high school student, she was incredibly thin-skinned, but Hayashi Yoshiki quite liked this innocence.

Hayashi Yoshiki drove her to buy a cake.

However, this time, they didn't eat at the cake shop. Instead, after buying and packing the cake, they went directly to the Beika Second Apartment building.

We're going to Brother Yoshiki's place—

At first, Ran didn't know where he was driving, but as the surrounding streets became familiar and she guessed Hayashi Yoshiki's intention, her heart couldn't help but pound.

Just the two of them alone in a room... What does Brother Yoshiki want to do later?

When this question surfaced in her mind, Ran became inexplicably nervous, her legs trembling slightly. Carrying the cake in one hand, she couldn't help but place her other hand over her chest, her fingers clenching into her palm.

The car was soon parked in the garage.

"Let's go, we're heading upstairs."

"...Mm," she said, her voice soft.

Getting out of the car with the cake, she was led by the hand by Hayashi Yoshiki into the elevator.

She kept her head slightly lowered, her face red the entire time. Seeing this, Hayashi Yoshiki couldn't help but chuckle.

"You seem so nervous... What's wrong? It's not your first time here."

"I'm not nervous..." she said, trying to act tough.

Speaking of which, this was, strictly speaking, the first time she had gone to Hayashi Yoshiki's house with a clear purpose.

The first time she came over was to deliver food to the Kindaichi Detective Agency, but no one was there, so she ended up at the Beika Second Apartment building... Subsequent visits were actually mainly to Eri Kisaki's house.

Hayashi Yoshiki led her upstairs, inserted the key, and opened the door.

Holding her hand, Ran followed him into the apartment.

A quiet space, just for the two of them.

The apartment Hayashi Yoshiki lived in was decorated by him with a very warm feeling; the natural wood-style living room, with its pleasing aesthetic, gave a very comfortable impression at first glance.

Hayashi Yoshiki first turned on the air conditioner, then took out the cake they had bought, placed it on small plates, brought them to the table, and turned on the TV.

"Brother Yoshiki."

"What is it?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to call your name~" she said, suddenly breaking into a smile.

Then, she scooped a piece of the sliced cream cake with a spoon, cupped her hand underneath it, and brought it to Hayashi Yoshiki's lips.

"The first bite is for me?" he asked.

"Mhm, because Brother Yoshiki worked hard today."

After feeding the cake to Hayashi Yoshiki, she took another spoonful and put it directly into her own mouth.

The sweet and smooth taste of the cream cake melting in her mouth made her involuntarily close her eyes...

Hayashi Yoshiki glanced and saw that there were two spoons for the two portions of cake on the table, but Xiao Lan hadn't switched spoons.

"Is there anything you want to watch on TV?"

"Can I see?"

Hayashi Yoshiki handed her the remote control as she asked.

As he watched Ran flip through the channels, he reached out, wrapped his arm around her waist, and pulled her a little closer to him.

Ran's face flushed slightly, but she didn't show any reaction.

The channel then stopped on a stage sitcom program.

Hayashi Yoshiki watched it with her for a while.

But it wasn't long before, just as Ran was bringing a bite of cake to her mouth, he leaned in and kissed her cream-covered lips.

The rich aroma of cream and its dense texture melted between their lips.

After they parted, Ran lightly pressed her lips together, looking at him with wet, puppy-dog eyes.

Hayashi Yoshiki smiled.

Outside, the bright sunlight had gradually dimmed without them noticing.

By the time the orange dusk light pouring in from the window slowly receded inch by inch and the living room grew dark, the two cakes on the table had been finished.

The sitcom on the TV had been replaced by an interview program.

"It seems to be getting dark, Brother Yoshiki." The source of this content ɪs NoveI-Fire.ɴet

"It is..."

Hayashi Yoshiki's gaze wasn't on the window; his eyes were fixed on the eyes of the girl in her school uniform, whose pretty and fair face was visible even in the dim room.

He gently pushed her down onto the sofa.

Brother Yoshiki is going to tease me again—

Her face instantly flushed with shame, and she nervously watched as Hayashi Yoshiki's hand untied the tie of her uniform shirt and at the same time pushed her legs apart... but she immediately closed them again, clamping Hayashi Yoshiki's hand between them.

"You can't, Brother Yoshiki."

"What's wrong?" he whispered softly in her ear. His magnetic voice, with its inexplicably seductive allure, made Ran shrink her neck, and even the roots of her ears turned red.

"Don't do... that..." she muttered softly, but her voice was so gentle it sounded like she was whining coquettishly.

"I just want to see the proof that you like me, Ran..."

"But what does that have to do with me liking you, Brother Yoshiki—"

"Of course it does. After all, your reaction will be very direct."

"What are you talking about?"

"Alright, be good..." Hayashi Yoshiki said, gently stroking her head.

He tried to advance further. Although Ran yielded a little, she soon shook her head again, "No... At least let me go to the bathroom first."
