The patter of night rain blew through the bleak night sky.
A heavy atmosphere lingers around us. Even though the 100-inch large TV is broadcasting lively variety shows, Tianhai Qimingyue always feels uneasy.
Why...do you feel this way?
This feeling is obvious and very uncomfortable.
This made Tianhai Qimingyue couldn't help but close the mystery novel in her hand.
She can’t stand it anymore.
This is a very rare situation.
This feeling of uneasiness made her turn her head.
On the dining table in the living room, the piles of food have long lost their heat.
There are three pairs of used bowls and chopsticks stacked around the dishes.
The seven bright moons in the sky turned around again.
On the sofa, Suzaki Sakakihara, who had just finished taking a shower, was holding her face with her right hand. She was concentrating on the big TV in front of her. With her other left hand, she kept moving the potato chips on the coffee table to her mouth. In addition,
In addition, you can also vaguely hear the sound of Tianhai Zhixue practicing guitar in the room.
Sakakibara Suzu looked at it very seriously, and the sound of biting potato chips was also crisp and clear.
Tianhai Qimingyue just stared at her for a while, then suddenly frowned.
Because she didn't know why her senses seemed to be much clearer and more penetrating. Through the gold-rimmed glasses, she could even see the potato chip crumbs on Ah Ling's lips.
What a strange feeling...
Tianhai Qimingyue's heart became even more uneasy.
"You...why are you looking at me like that?" Sakakihara Suzu noticed that Amami Nanami was staring at her with a frown.
Tianhai Qimingyue withdrew her gaze and tried to say calmly: "Sister-chan should call me sister. As for why I'm looking at you, aren't you curious?"
"What are you curious about? Ah -" Sakakihara Suzu sat up as if she suddenly remembered something. She rummaged around on the sofa for her phone, and finally took it out of her pocket.
She looked at the time and said, "That's right! It's almost eight o'clock. I went to pick up Sister Liuli, why haven't I come back yet?"
"Sister Liuli?"
"No way! I like Sister Liuli much more than I like you!"
"Sister-chan really doesn't have the consciousness to be a younger sister. Why don't you make a phone call and ask?"
"No need for you to remind me!"
Sakakibara Suzu swiped her phone, found Sakakibara Raku's contact information, and dialed it in twos and twos.
While twirling potato chips, she put the phone to her ear.
Beep...beep...
A blind tone.
Suzu Sakakihara put down her phone and looked at Nanami Nanami: "It seems that she is on a call."
"On the call? Why——"
Before Tianhai Qimingyue had time to wonder, her cell phone rang in the next second.
Sakakibara Suzu: "Here, it must be my brother who called you, right?"
"That's him."
Tianhai Qimingyue glanced at the contact name displayed on the phone screen and answered the call.
She waited for a second, and an anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Loss of blood... Just come here quickly. There's no need to call Zhixue and A Ling."
Toot——
A short blind tone.
The phone hangs up.
Sister...
Tianhai Qimingyue didn't hesitate, and immediately stood up, went to her room to get an umbrella, put on an extra coat over her school uniform, and was ready to go out.
Sakakihara Suzu was very confused when she saw her hurriedly walking in and out with a serious expression:
"Hey - what are you doing? It's so sudden. Where are you going?"
"Go out." Tianhai Qimingyue checked the change on her body.
"What are you going out for? What happened?" Sakakihara Suzu was even more confused.
"Sister-chan wants to know?"
"My brother is giving you a call and you are about to go out! Why don't I want to know!" Suzu Sakakibara didn't see too much anxiety on the face of Amami Qimingyue, thinking that my brother and the others should just encounter something.
I need this fox to go out.
Tianhai Qimingyue stood on the edge of the living room and pondered for a moment, "I'm sorry, sister-chan, it's better to treat this matter as if you don't know about it."
"Why?!" Sakakihara Suzu felt strange, but that was all.
"There's no reason. Anyway, knowing you won't do any good. Just stay at home with your aunt. I'll go out and ask you to come over depending on the situation."
"Eh-"
Sakakibara Suzu wanted to say something, but she immediately saw Nanami Nanami turn around and disappear from sight. With the click from the entrance, she knew Nanami was out completely.
Sakakihara Suzu hugged the doll on the sofa, looked at the place where the seven bright moons in the sky disappeared, and muttered:
"What the hell are you doing in such a hurry? Are you carrying me to a big dinner?"
*
Tianhai Qi Mingyue took the elevator and went downstairs. She opened her umbrella and hailed a taxi on the side of the road.
"Go to Minato Central Hospital."
"Central Hospital, right?"
The door hurriedly closed, the taxi engine started, and merged into the numerous traffic flows on Shirokane Takanawa Avenue.
Because it is located in a busy city, the taxi speed is not too fast, so Tianhai Qimingyue kept looking out the window anxiously - that is where the Central Hospital is.
In the dark night, there is not a trace of starlight, not a ray of moonlight, only drops of drizzle, falling on every corner of this bustling street. Even the water spray caused by cars running over the road is illuminated by the neon lights of the street lights.
Staring at such a night scene with the Qimingyue in the Sky and the Sea, some helplessness and emotion inevitably arise in my heart.
Sister...have you still come this far?
I don’t know how my brother said those words to his sister.
My sister is different from me. My sister rarely makes passive compromises to others.
My sister has always been dependent on others. While my sister can best give others what they want, she will also look forward to their response.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
If there is no response, then the sister will definitely fall into self-doubt.
[Are you not good enough? Not working hard enough? Not liked?]
My sister should think that she is useless, right? Too redundant, right?
"Alas..."
Tianhai Qimingyue sighed helplessly.
I... I also thought about it, and because of this mentality, I took the initiative to escape from my mother. I ran to the mountains outside the village, accidentally broke my foot, and then met my brother at that time at the bus stop in the countryside...
....
Sister, I am probably in the same state of mind as I was at that time.
Feeling uncomfortable, wanting to escape, unable to accept reality, unable to find anything to rely on...
Sister, maybe it’s a little more serious.
After all, for my sister, this is already the second time she has been abandoned.
*
"Ma'am, the Central Hospital is here." The driver turned to Tianhai Qimingyue, who was sitting upright behind him, and said.
"Yes, please."
Tianhai Qimingyue pulled the coat on her body to cover her shoulders, turned around and took out the cash.
She paid the driver, held an umbrella, and stood at the door of Minato Central Hospital.
The taxi drove away behind her.
Raindrops all over the sky fell from the sky like filaments, covering all the passers-by holding umbrellas and walking in a moist atmosphere. Tianhai Qimingyue stood quietly in the rain, silently looking at the door of the hospital
.
She walked in.
According to the message Sakakibara Raku sent to him midway, Amami Nanami came to the emergency surgery department.
She saw Raku Sakakibara sitting outside the department, and it seemed that the situation was more serious than she thought.
"July, you are finally here." Sakakihara stood up immediately.
"Are you injured?" Tianhai Qimingyue glanced at the thick layer of bandages on his arm.
"Me? I'm not important, it's just that my arm was scratched..."
"Where's my sister?" Tianhai Qimingyue didn't ask much.
"Inside..." Raku Sakakibara glanced at the door of the emergency room. While taking a breath, he inevitably spat out a breath, "But you don't have to worry too much. The doctor said that no vital parts were injured, and because
He was sent to the hospital in time. The preliminary examination revealed that he had just lost some blood."
"What is the specific situation?"
"...It was Liuli who was very emotionally unstable, and then...it happened that there was a fruit knife used for peeling fruits in the hotel where I took her to rest..."
"Sister, did you attack me?" Tianhai Qimingyue guessed.
"...You still know her in July..."
After hearing this, Tianhai Qiming focused on his bandaged arm, "Then, when my sister attacked me, you rushed over and blocked my sister?"
"Well, I blocked it, but it only blocked part of it. I couldn't help it... I originally thought she was listening to the advice... I let my guard down," Sakakihara glanced at his left arm and said in a helpless tone, "As for
There was a cut on my hand, and I needed a few stitches... The bleeding wasn't too much, but Liuli was seriously injured. Although I helped her block part of the force, the knife still went in.
It took a lot... Then she was very resistant to me taking her to the hospital, and it took a lot of trouble... I don't want to say the details, but in the end she fainted and the ambulance came." "..."
Tianhai Qimingyue was silent after listening.
Sister, you did it to yourself...
Sister, what was your mentality at that time?
Probably very desperate.
Only despair would make her treat herself like that.
My sister has always been a very gentle person,
I have always been a person who is willing to greet others with a smile.
Now...I am injured and in the emergency room.
[Beep...beep...]
Phone sound.
Amami Nanamigyue suddenly saw Sakakibara Raku almost ringing someone's phone, snatched it away, held it in his hand and asked:
"Who are you calling?"
Sakakibara looked calm: "Give it to uncle and the others."
"Are you going to call dad and the others over?"
"Yes."
"If something like this happens, do you still dare to call dad over?"
"Otherwise? Qi Qi, no matter how you talk about uncle, she is also Liuli's father and your father. If something like this happens, he still has the right to know, right?"
Tianhai Qimingyue raised her eyebrows in a rare frown: "Do you know the importance of the matter? If you tell Dad about this matter - let's not talk about the reactions of Dad and Aunt for the time being. Grandpa is also likely to know, if he
Knowing that you actually let your sister do such a thing, no matter how sensible grandpa is, you will still be held accountable."
"In July, I dare to take responsibility. Since I have done something, I have decided to tell everything."
"Say it? No, no, you can't do it now."
"Give it to me." Sakakibara looked at his cell phone and suddenly stretched out his unbandaged hand towards her.
Tianhai Qi Mingyue had always been vigilant. When she saw him approaching, she took two steps back. She put the phone behind her and said to him solemnly: "Do you understand the seriousness of what you said?
”
"Of course I understand."
"Understood? Since you understand, you can't do this."
"I just understand, that's why I think I should do this...Qiyue, you definitely know why Liuli did what he did today."
"Brother, are you regretting it?"
"I have no regrets. It's just that I didn't think of reconciling her relationship with you. It just aggravated her behavior tonight."
"Then what do you want to say?"
"I just...I just think that Liuli did this..." Sakakihara took a deep breath, turned his head, and stopped talking, "...if she was angry, I would feel like stabbing me.
Be more comfortable."
Brother, I feel uncomfortable too.
Tianhai Qimingyue's voice calmed down: "Brother needs to calm down now, just like sister."
"I know..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Raku Sakakihara sat down on the hospital chair outside the emergency room, holding his forehead with one hand, "I'll be quiet for a moment..."
Tianhai Qimingyue looked at him and sat next to him.
Both of them were silent for a while.
It wasn't until the doctor in a white coat came out of the emergency room and told them that the patient was safe and sound that they breathed a sigh of relief this time.
"Thank you doctor..."
"It's a matter of duty." The old doctor seemed to be used to this kind of thing, and his tone was calm. He didn't want to ask about the reason. "The patient is not awake yet, but all the body surface indexes are normal. That is,
There is some blood loss, just stay in the hospital for recuperation for a while. You go to the front desk to go through the formalities first. And you, remember not to exercise strenuously in the near future, your bleeding will not be any better."
"Okay, sorry, the doctor reminded me."
"It's okay."
The old doctor left resolutely, and Tianhai Jiuliuli was pushed out of the emergency room by several nurses.
Sakakibara looked at her slightly pale face lying on the hospital bed, and it would be false to say that he didn't feel sorry for her.
"Are you going or should I go?"
"I'll go and help look after Liuli... I know she doesn't want to look at me... even if she hasn't woken up yet."
"That's up to you."
After completing the formalities, Sakakihara Raku returned from the front desk to the single ward prepared for Ruri in the hospital.
The whole room has a unique hospital smell, which should be said to be the smell of disinfectant.
Tianhai Qimingyue is sitting next to Tianhai Jiuliuli. This room is located very high, and you can see the almost transparent Tokyo night sky behind Tianhai Qimingyue.
Sakakihara Raku saw that Tenkai Nanamiyue kept lowering her head, as if she was in a daze, thinking about something.
"What are you thinking about in July?"
"I'm thinking about how I will deal with my relationship with you and my sister in the future."
"..."
"Don't you think the relationship between the two of us is very messy?" Tianhai Qimingyue followed his movements with her eyes.
Raku Sakakibara pulled up a stool and sat down next to Amami Nanami, and at the same time looked at Amami Kuruuri who was lying on the hospital bed, "It would be weird if there is no chaos... We all have things that we can't stand each other for...
We met when we were young, and then reunited after a long absence of more than ten years. It is also called a step-sibling relationship. You are not only kind to me as an elder brother, but also have a kind of closeness that is far beyond ordinary brothers and sisters."
"What do you think, brother?"
"What else can you think about? Do you want me to give up now? If that is your choice in July, I respect it, but I will try to retain it." Sakakihara tried to pull Tianhai Jiureli's hand, but even if it was
She fell asleep, and it seemed as if she wouldn't let herself pull it, and it slipped from her hand, "... Liuli is afraid that she will have a grudge against me from now on."
"The grudge can be eliminated. It's not like I haven't done anything to you before."
"Is there any?"
"Otherwise? Are you going to write off all the things you have forgotten for so many years? I have said that to you many times."
"Hey, hey, hey~ I know, I know..."
"Don't ask me to mention it every time. I hate repeating things."
"No problem," Sakakihara Raku agreed, still looking at Tianhai Jiureli, "But Qi Qi, I think it's better to inform my uncle and them."
Amami Nanami closed her eyes and glanced at Sakakibara Raku: "I still don't agree with this."
"You can't hide this."
"If I want to hide it, I have to ask my sister about her wishes. There are as many excuses as there are for getting hurt. Dad is so busy that he only has time to take a look at it, so he won't go into details at all."
"...Then how do I tell him that I like both of you at the same time?"
"..." Tianhai Qimingyue closed her eyes, and her gold-rimmed glasses made her look extra quiet, "You shouldn't ask me about this, I don't have a temper?"
"I was wrong." Raku Sakakihara surrendered decisively.
"Forgive you."
The conversation ended and the air fell into silence again.
"...What is your mentality now in July?"
"I can't bear to leave my sister, but I also feel sorry for her. But I won't be willing to give up on things."
"Even if Liuli threatens to die?"
"That's your choice, brother."
"You throw this problem to me," Raku Sakakihara raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the ward, "It's really difficult..."
"The choice of a scumbag is naturally more difficult than that of a scumbag."
"Just stab me to death."
"Come on, nothing can be so easy."
"Haha."
Sakakihara smiled bitterly.
"July..."
"What?" Tianhai Qi Mingyue raised one eye slightly but glanced at his side face.
"I still want to call uncle over."
"Why?"
"Because Liuli's matter was caused by procrastinating again and again, I mistakenly thought that Liuli would consider your mood because of her reconciliation with you. I didn't expect that she would directly transfer that mood to herself, and
I made a mistake in my judgment by doing this to myself..."
"Is it possible that my brother's action of calling daddy this time was also a mistake in judgment? Maybe it would be better to delay the matter this time?"
"Maybe it would be better if I didn't delay. Okay, that's it. I'll give my uncle a call!"
"That's too hasty. Are you going to tell dad directly? You have to know that no matter how nice a dad is, he can't face this kind of thing without getting angry... because you are a veritable scumbag." p>
"Idiot Qi Qi, I didn't say to shout now. Besides, uncle will know my thoughts sooner or later."
"Then when are you going to shout?" Tianhai Qimingyue felt a little unhappy when she heard him calling her a fool, "And now, it's completely different from raw rice and cooked rice."
"You mean...you want me to eat you all before you tell your uncle?!"
"I never said that. But judging from your thoughts, you are indeed a scumbag."
"Hmph, no matter how many times you call me a scumbag, I won't get angry anymore."
"Because it is the truth."
"But only if you talk about me."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Sakakibara looked at Amami Kururi on the hospital bed again: "Also...didn't you just say that? Tell your uncle about it, and we can discuss it after Ryuri wakes up. We...still have to listen.
Only her opinion matters."
"Well..."
Tianhai Qimingyue didn't speak anymore, which was considered to be recognition of his choice.
Sakakihara stood up and started walking around the ward. He kept opening the closet as if he was rummaging for something.
"What are you turning over?"
"Futons for sleeping...well, it seems that we do have spare ones, or two beds..." Raku Sakakihara held the closet and turned to Tianhai Qimingyue and said, "Today we will make two more beds.
Go to sleep now, just tell A Ling and the others not to go home."
He took out all the quilts.
"I'm afraid Liuli will still be confused after she wakes up. It's better for the two of us to watch her here. I'll ask Teacher Daojing for a day off from class tomorrow, and she will understand us."
The seven bright moons in the sky have been staring at him.
"Emotional intelligence seems to be really high."
"It's already so high, okay, July." Raku Sakakibara spread the second bed, clapped his hands, "Okay, go to bed after making the call, it's getting late."
"No dinner?"
"I'm not in the mood to eat."
Sakakihara waved his hand and lay directly on his bed, looking at the ceiling solemnly:
"When Liuli wakes up tomorrow... she still doesn't know what her attitude will be towards me..."
"I will probably hate you, brother."
"If you hate me, hate me. I will try to make it up to her. Just like she apologized to me before... I don't even bother to take off my clothes and go to bed. You should go to bed early in July. Don't let Liuli wake up in the middle and run to the rooftop.
Then I really have to repent my life and die to apologize to my uncle."
"I'm kind of looking forward to seeing you do this."
"You mean seeing me die as an apology?"
"No, it means seeing you repent your life."
"Repent your life for Qiyue, right...Okay, okay, I've always been sorry for what happened to you..."
"How can we see it?"
"Otherwise I wouldn't have said those words to Liuli today, right?"
"..."
Tianhai Qimingyue stopped talking.
"Okay, go to bed now! How many times have I urged you to sleep?"
"I just know how to sleep."
"...I don't have time to flirt with you today, I'm feeling sad..."
"Didn't see it."
"It's really sad, July...you don't know the way Liuli treated me at that time..." Sakakihara Raku sighed.
"I think I also need to let you watch me holding the knife."
