A dark sky enveloped the entire city, and thick clouds seemed to squeeze the air.
The drizzle fell continuously from the sky, and most of the pedestrians on the street were holding transparent umbrellas and walking in a hurry.
The sound of cars driving could be heard in the distance, intertwined with the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrellas and washing the streets.
Pushing open the car door, Raku Sakakibara got out of the car first with flowers in her arms. She stood under the green tree, opened her umbrella, raised her head, looked along the umbrella tip, and saw clearly the row of flowers hanging on the modern building in front of her.
Word--
Tianhai Medical Center.
...If you think about it, you are right. The only hospital that makes the old man feel most at ease is here.
"Let's go, let's go, it's true, the rain is actually getting heavier and heavier."
The voice of her younger sister came from behind. Suzu Sakakibara, who had a coat hood on her head, paid the fare, turned around quickly, and jumped under Raku Sakakibara's umbrella in two small steps.
Sakakibara turned his head and glanced at her one more time.
Ah Ling was still wearing her school uniform, suit jacket, pleated skirt and black leather shoes.
It's just that she is now wearing a rainproof jacket, red.
The way she put her jacket hood up and put her hands in her pockets made Raku Sakakihara think she was a little cool.
You can also use the word "handsome girl" to describe her at this moment.
He stared at the lines on her face for a while.
At this moment, Sakakihara Raku suddenly felt that... Suzu... seemed more mature and more beautiful.
There is only two years of age difference between him and A Ling.
For a long time, Sakakihara Raku treated her like a little brat.
——Until she entered junior high school and put on a student uniform for the first time.
The legs protruding from the bottom of the skirt, the neck with a looming neckline under the bow, and the clearer and brighter facial features... all made Sakakihara Raku feel unreal.
But now...it seems that these characteristics of hers have become even more special...
Finding someone's eyes staring at her for a long time, Sakakihara Suzu laughed, poked her cheeks with the index fingers of both hands, tilted her head and suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and said to him happily:
"What? There are flowers on my face? Is it so beautiful? Uh-huh~ If you compliment me, I will consider giving you a 10% discount on my future music albums!"
"...I only gave you 10% off the discount for your brother. I have never seen such a stingy sister like you."
"How can this be called stingy? Ahem..."
Suzu Sakakihara had no idea of self-reflection at all. She cleared her throat and boldly spoke out a very classic Japanese proverb:
"金も血もたまらぬ(Money and blood relationship are inevitable)."
It has almost the same meaning as "brothers, settle accounts clearly".
I really want to drill a drill into her head!
Sakakihara put away his thoughts of praising her for looking more beautiful and looked at the big words "Tenkai Medical Center" on the building again:
"It just feels like you've grown up a little."
Hearing this, Sakakihara Suzu looked at his raised side face curiously.
The rain was misty, and the outline of his face seemed to be blurred a lot.
"...Strange, why don't you give me a blow on the head?" Sakakihara Suzu said, and hugged her head.
"Why should I give it?"
"When I used to do this, you would give me a hard fuck!"
Sakakihara laughed immediately, "If I don't hit you, girl, you'll still feel uncomfortable, right?"
After saying that, he gave her a symbolic punch on the head.
Sakakibara Suzu ducked away in a hurry, and Sakakibara Raku swung his other hand to hit her.
Sakakihara Suzu dodged again.
But A-Ling was no match for her, and the third blow hit her on the head.
"Why run?"
Unexpectedly, after being hit on the head, Suzu Sakakihara was not only not angry, but also said with a smile under his knife:
"Are you feeling better?"
"..." Sakakihara was stunned, "...What? You did it on purpose."
"Otherwise," Suzu Sakakibara pushed his hand away from her head, her purple eyes blinking, "If you look at Yuki with such a sad face, I'm even worried that she will be frightened by you.
..Yuki has always said to me, 'I like to laugh a lot.' Plus, I don't like to see you looking sad, so...that's it."
Ah Ling is very talented in acting. When she said this, her expression and hand movements were changing.
She also deliberately imitated Yuki's lazy, emotionless voice.
Just...very attentive...
Very cute too.
With such care from her, Sakakihara Rakudu suddenly felt that his "brother" had been completely incompetent recently.
"Wow~ wow~ You are not touched by me, are you?"
Sakakibara Suzu suddenly covered her mouth with her hands, eyes half-suspected, "I must be an otaku~ A scumbag with three legs is actually easily moved by such a small trick. His rank is too low."
"..."
"Miscellaneous fish~Miscellaneous fish~"
Tsk.
Sure enough, bratty Ah Ling still deserves a spanking.
Sakakihara Raku slapped her head, and within half a second, a certain sister held her head and cried out in pain.
"For a otaku like you who can't even wash clothes calls me a otaku, I really want to thank you!"
"It hurts..." Sakakihara Suzu squatted down holding her head and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why does it hurt so much? I have good intentions, okay... As expected, it's just a matter of Zaoza——"
"Hmm——?" Raku Sakakihara smiled and raised his fist as big as a casserole.
"...I'm sorry, I won't say anything anymore."
*
Although Ah Ling is very stinky.
But once I had contact with her like this, I felt much better.
As Suzu said just now, meeting Yuki with a sad face would probably only make her feel more uncomfortable.
...Although I haven't decided whether to meet her yet.
Follow Sakakihara Suzu and enter the hospital from the building entrance.
The lobby of Tianhai Medical Center is very impressive just after the entrance, with smooth floors and astonishingly high ceilings.
Several thick stone pillars stood up in the middle. I didn't know, I thought I was entering a five-star hotel.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sakakihara looked around and found that there were many people coming and going around.
Ordinary citizens, young people, children, the elderly...
Among the doctors in white coats that I occasionally see, there are many foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes.
Raku Sakakibara had seen some information about this medical center when he was studying family information from his uncle.
As a medical center directly under Tianhai Group, it not only has the most advanced medical facilities and technologies, but also provides innovative medical research in a collaborative and interdisciplinary manner with medical experts and scientists from various countries.
And based on this, we will provide citizens with the most outstanding and unique medical services in practice.
The hospital has multiple high-tech diagnosis and treatment departments, including the Neuroscience Center, Cardiovascular Research Institute, Cancer Treatment Center, Organ Transplantation Center, etc. Each department is equipped with the most advanced equipment and instruments to provide comprehensive and personalized medical services.
.
...So, this is not only the top hospital in the country, but also an international exchange center for medical academics.
It seems that people from the Tokyo University of Medicine have made it their lifelong goal to enter this medical center.
Raku Sakakibara remembers that when he was a child, his mother brought him here because of amnesia.
I didn't expect that after so many years, I would come here again as half of the Tianhai family.
"Go this way, take the elevator." Sakakibara Suzu dragged Sakakibara Raku.
"...? I see the neurology department is in the building opposite."
"Oh, it's the same. That's how Uncle Ying walks anyway. And if you go straight to the main entrance, there's a patient area over there and you might be stopped."
...
Enter the elevator.
Arriving on the 20th floor of the building, crossing the overpass connecting the two buildings, we arrived at the neurology building opposite.
The next floor up, the 21st floor, is the VIP floor where Yuki is located.
Through some open ward doors, Sakakihara Raku could see that the ward here was well-lit and very spacious.
"This is it."
Sakakibara Raku held flowers and followed Sakakibara Suzu, stopping at the entrance to the penultimate room at the end of the corridor.
Sakakibara observed carefully. Yuki's ward was on the left side, facing the sun. It was just illuminated by the sun in the morning.
This proves that the old man is still interested in yuki...
But when he arrived at the door of Amami no Yuki's ward, Raku Sakakihara seemed a little reluctant to go in.
Sakakihara Suzu frowned: "...Why, bro, you're already here, so you told me that you don't want to go in to visit Yuki?"
"...It's not that," Raku Sakakihara sighed, "It's just that I haven't figured out what identity I should use to face Zhixue."
"family?"
Sakakihara shook his head.
"Brother? Friend? Classmate?"
Sakakihara Raku said nothing.
Before, Sakakihara Raku could still get along with Yuki as a "family member".
But now...it's a bit too subtle...
Moreover, after meeting Zhixue, in what capacity should I get along with her?
What can I say to her?
There is nothing she can do to change her current situation.
"Oh! There are so many words! Just go in and take a look. Yuki will be very happy to see you!...Don't tell me you don't want to come in. If you don't come in, I will report it to my uncle.
, said you pick up his sister!"
"I didn't say I didn't want to come in... It's just that - forget it, my identity or whatever, it doesn't matter now, we'll talk about it after we meet."
Sakakihara knocked on the door twice, and after waiting for a long time for no response, he directly pressed the door handle and pushed the door open.
...
As soon as he entered the room, Sakakihara Raku was stunned on the spot.
"What are you doing? Go in... If you don't want to go in, make room for me and let me go in to see the snow."
Sakakihara Suzu was also stunned.
"yu...yuki?"
Tianhai Zhixue was standing on the hospital bed...taking off her pants.
The whole leg is bare.
She turned to look at the two people who had just appeared at the door, her eyes full of doubts.
The two people at the door were also looking at her, full of doubts.
Why...are you taking off your pants?
Sakakibara Suzu was the first to react, quickly covered Sakakibara Raku's eyes, and said:
"Don't look at it! Your eyes will be damaged if you look at it."
"...It's not like I haven't seen it before."
Having said that, Raku Sakakihara turned around honestly.
In fact, he thought about the scene of seeing Zhixue again this time countless times...the melancholy girl looking out the window, the sick girl who had just undergone surgery and was wearing a ventilator...he had thought about it all.
But he never thought that when he saw Zhixue again after half a month, it would be like this.
So much so that Sakakihara Raku felt that she had committed a particularly troublesome old habit.
Subconsciously, I wanted to hold my forehead and sigh, "Remember, if someone knocks on the door outside, you have to speak and respond!"
...
He held the flowers and did not look inside the ward.
But I heard the conversation between Sakakihara Suzu and Amami Noyuki.
"Yu...yuki! You, you, you, why are you taking off your pants?!"
"...Because I have to go to the toilet."
A familiar voice.
There was a familiar pause, as if the words were calmly spoken after the brain finally started functioning.
Sakakibara turned his back to the two of them, sighing with emotion and missing him.
"Why don't you take it off when you go to the bathroom! Take it off on the bed instead!"
"...the same."
"It's completely different, okay! What if someone sees me taking off my pants!"
"Just take off your pants."
"Yuki, don't talk about this matter so lightly! You are a girl!"
"Is it okay for boys to take off their pants?"
"...No way!"
"Why not?"
"Because - because, everyone has privacy."
"Why do you need privacy? If everyone takes off their clothes, wouldn't it be very convenient?"
"Hey! Yuki, don't take off your shirt again!"
...
Sakakibara listened to this farce for five or six minutes.
It wasn't until Suzu exhaustedly shouted to Amami Yuki to put on her pants and clothes that Raku Sakakihara turned around.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!...Maybe it's been a long time since I saw the snow in the sky and sea.
At this moment, I saw her sitting on the edge of the bed with her bare feet again, quietly looking at him, and I felt an unspeakable nostalgia...
Sakakihara Raku didn't know how he should visit her.
But at least, when she looks at him, he should try to smile and let her see the side of herself that she usually likes the most.
...Sakakihara Raku tried his best to smile at her.
After seeing his smile, the girl who was as pure as snow sitting beside the bed opened her lips and teeth slightly and shouted softly:
"happy."
Then follow it up with one sentence.
"...Did Le come to visit me?"
"..."
Sakakibara Raku saw her eyes look exactly the same as before, and when he heard her gentle inquiry, he felt something in his heart...
Maybe he thought it would be too cruel to give her up.
Facing her now, I still feel a little guilty.
Sakakibara looked at the flowers in his hand, paused for a moment, and then smiled and replied to her:
"...Well...I came to visit you."
He walked over, handed the flowers to Tianhai Zhixue, and put them in her hands.
Tianhai Zhixue took it very carefully, keeping her eyes fixed on the flowers in her hand.
"This is a gift for yuki. It's daisies and sunflowers. I wish you a speedy recovery, yuki... I just chose it for you at the flower market. I came in a hurry and didn't bring anything else -"
At his voice, Amami Nozuki, who was wearing hospital clothes, slowly hugged the flowers in her arms with her hands. She smelled it gently, then looked up at Sakakibara Raku, and said gratefully:
"Thank you Le."
"...You're welcome."
"Uncle always said that Le would not come to see me, but Le came anyway."
This is not a pleasant thing to hear.
Because Sakakibara Raku had no plans to visit Yuki today.
Amami Zuki looked at Raku Sakakibara's face and said, "Sure enough, uncle is just lying."
"...wait...uncle?"
Sakakibara originally thought that yuki was talking about Sakura, but thinking about it carefully... Sakura probably wouldn't say this to yuki.
"He is a very serious person and likes to wear black clothes."
Sakakihara Raku and Sakakihara Suzu looked at each other, full of surprise.
"...Zhixue isn't talking about grandpa, right?"
"It's very possible." Sakakihara Suzu nodded.
Raku Sakakibara saw the hospital clothes on Amami no Yuki, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He pointed at his sister standing aside and asked Yuki:
"Do you still remember who she is?"
Amami no Yuki followed Sakakibara Raku's voice and looked towards Sakakibara Suzu.
Sakakibara Suzu looked at Sakakibara Raku with a strange expression, and said with great dissatisfaction: "Brother, what are you asking? Does Yuki still recognize me? I just talked to her so much and helped her get dressed—
—”
"I don't know." Tianhai Zhixue looked at her and shook her head.
"...Pants."
Sakakihara Suzu opened her mouth subconsciously.
She blinked at Tianhai Zhixue's innocent face.
Sakakihara Raku asked Zhixue again: "I really don't know him."
Tianhai Zhixue shook her head again, "I don't know."
Sakakihara Suzu was instantly petrified on the spot.
Quiet...suspicious...crazy...
"yu——ki——!"
Sakakibara Suzu grabbed Amami no Yuki's shoulders, her voice dragging out.
"How could you! How could you, how could you not think of me! I am your best friend and best comrade! When I came to visit you this time, I deliberately put down my work and secretly followed Uncle Ying to find you!
Why, why don’t you—don’t remember me!”
"You speak...so loudly."
"...?!"
When Amami Nozuki said this, Sakakibara Suzu's pupils shrank, and then she turned back with despair. She seemed to have been told a sad place, and she cried to Sakakibara in grievance:
"Brother...yuki she...she said I spoke loudly..."
"...It's just the truth."
"But...but, this is too heartbreaking, wuwuwu."
It's really aggrieved.
Ah Ling looked for Tianhai Zhixue every day for two weeks in a row. She went to Tianhai's house every day to ask about the situation and show concern for Zhixue.
I finally found it, but it was forgotten and not mentioned... and even said something disgusting...
"Okay, okay," Raku Sakakihara comforted her again, "Yuki is sick, she didn't mean it."
"...I know, but it's still so sad..."
Sakakihara Suzu's loss only lasted for a moment. She immediately asked Sakakihara Rakui angrily, as if she was jealous, "Why does she still remember you?"
"...I do not know."
"You guy! You gave Yuki some ecstasy soup, right?"
"...I've never drank the ecstasy soup before." Sakakibara avoided his sister's gaze.
"you--"
"Okay, okay, although yuki has forgotten you, yuki is still yuki. It's not like she can't be friends with you."
"But! But the memories of eating together and sleeping together before are all gone! Gone!"
"...There will be opportunities in the future, don't be sad, cheer up."
"Wow, everything is gone, how can I cheer up?"
"Then let me tell yuki about your past?"
"This is good! Go quickly, go quickly!"
"Um."
Raku Sakakibara sat beside the hospital bed and immediately told Yuki Amami about her relationship and story with Suzu Sakakibara.
During this period, Suzu Sakakihara was very excited at the side. Her expressions and gestures all expressed one meaning - "Yes, that's right, that's me! Think of me, think of me!"
...
Sakakibara talked about the two people's deeds for about ten minutes.
After Amami no Yuki heard the last word, she slowly turned her head, her eyes filled with light, and looked at Sakakihara Suzu who was full of expectation.
"This look...yuki! I knew you must——"
"...no impression."
"Alas..." Sakakihara Suzu lowered her arms instantly.
Amami no Yuki didn't care about the people she didn't know at all, and only said to Sakakibara Raku next to her:
"Le, when can you take me home to eat fried ice cream? I have to undergo many examinations every day here. It's not comfortable at all, and I have to take a lot of unpleasant medicine... It's very uncomfortable..."
Sakakihara Raku was stunned when he heard what she said, "I——"
"He won't take you back again."
Behind him, an extremely serious voice suddenly came.
Sakakihara Suzu was so frightened that she immediately turned around. She soon saw her grandfather with his hands behind his back and a displeased expression on his face, and Sakura carrying a lunch box appearing at the door of the ward.
Seeing these two figures, seeing the serious and old-fashioned look of grandpa, who looked like he was angry, and Sakakibara Suzu, who looked like a child who had done something wrong, she subconsciously moved towards Sakakibara Raku's back.
Sakakibara then turned around and saw Soichiro Amkai standing at the door of the ward.
