Chapter 25 fourth quarter

"……Bright?" The male nurse Bei Ze, who had not seen him for more than ten years, looked very happy when he saw Himekawa waiting for him in the lobby.At the age of forty-five, he already has gray hair and a lot of flesh on his jaw, but he can still see his handsome old appearance. "The service desk said that 'Himekawa' was visiting, so I thought it must be you. I didn't expect you to grow so big, Ryo." Base Ze's upper body leaned back slightly to look at Himekawa's whole body, and kept chanting.His words are also spoken by middle-aged people.Looking at the name tag pinned to his chest in white, Himekawa knew that he had already become the head nurse.

"That's right, Liang is of course an adult, because I have been working here for twenty-five years." "I'm sorry to come to you when you are so busy." "It's okay, it's three o'clock, and I'm just about to take a break. Do you want coffee? Let's have a cup." Bizer took Himekawa to the corner of the hall, and bought coffee for him in front of the vending machine.The situation was the same as when Himekawa brought his mother with a broken finger to the emergency room. "You don't look very good, are you busy with work?" Bize said while drinking coffee, looking at Himekawa.

"Well, I've been a little busy lately." "Are you off today? Are you working in the company?" "Yeah, I'm on paid leave today." "It's better to take a good rest like this once in a while. Take care of your body." Bei Ze sighed with emotion. "—Is there anything you want to do today? Did you come to see my old friend's face when you were on vacation?" Bizer patted his cheek. "That's one of the reasons, but Big Brother Bize, I actually want to ask you something." Himekawa took out a red ticket from his coat pocket, with the words "good man" printed in black in the center of the ticket.

"I hope you can come to our concert." That was Gui's request last night. She hoped to hold a concert at "Good Man" on Sunday as scheduled. "For my sister, I hope it can be held as scheduled." Gui is very serious. "This concert should be the last time I will be on stage." Himekawa also felt the same way, maybe it was just a matter of time. "Okay." Himekawa nodded quietly. Early this morning, Himekawa called Tanio and Takeuchi.When Himekawa said that he wanted to hold the concert as scheduled, the first thing they worried about was Katsura's mood, but when they heard that it was Katsura's proposal, the two of them immediately agreed.Takeuchi said that he would gather more viewers, and Tanio called "good men", and finally got them to agree to "cancel cancellation".

Before Himekawa came to the hospital, he went to the "Electric Guitarist" to send tickets to Noji.It happened that Kumajima and Nishikawa were also in the orchestra practice center, so Himekawa also gave them tickets. "I have a ticket." Kumajima smiled, and showed the ticket that Himekawa had handed him in the dance house from his wallet.As for Xi Chuan, he seemed to be very interested in live singing unexpectedly, nodded his head, and repeatedly looked at the ticket that Ji Chuan handed him. The reason why I made a special trip to the hospital to invite Bei Ze, a male nurse whom I hadn't seen for several years, to the concert, was not for any particular reason, it was just that I really wanted to do it.Maybe because what happened this time is a replica of what happened 23 years ago, so I really hope that Bize, who sent his father off for the last time, can come to see his last concert.Perhaps it was because this person accompanied his father to the last moment, Himekawa hoped that Bize could also accompany him, who might never be able to stand upright in front of others, to complete this journey.

Himekawa thought to himself, it would be great if the doctor who was his father's attending physician could also come to the concert. "Wow, you're in a band, I should be able to go on Sunday, I'll get my wallet—" Himekawa stopped Bizer who got up. "I don't need the money, but it's Big Brother Bize—what happened to the doctor? It's the attending physician who took care of my father." "Ah, Dr. Masuda." Bei Ze was full of regret. "He's been dead, five years... six years ago, I think. He had colorectal cancer." "That's it." Himekawa sighed lightly.In fact, the doctor was very old at that time, and Himekawa had already been mentally prepared that maybe he was no longer alive.

"After he retired, he lived his last life at home with his wife. Like your father, he wanted to spend his last life in his own home. Your father's cancer was in a poor position and could not be removed; Dr. Masuda It was because she was too old, considering the burden on her body, so she didn't have surgery." Sipping the coffee in the paper cup, Bizer continued as if talking to himself: "Dr. Masuda also has a son. Because colorectal cancer is a hereditary disease, his son has been very worried about whether he will also get cancer. His son has passed his sixtieth year."

"After all, I'm worried." At this moment, Himekawa suddenly thought, and asked, "Won't brain cancer be hereditary? Brain tumors." "No, no," Bize shook his head. "There are also brain tumors caused by genetic factors, but such cases are rare, and your father's situation is not that." After finishing speaking, Bize lowered his eyebrows with nostalgia. "Your father is also very worried. He asked me three times, asking me if Tazi might suffer from the same disease. No matter what I said no, he was still very worried. When Tazi died unexpectedly, I also recalled many things, I couldn't sleep for several days. Although... my difficulty is not as good as the blow to my relatives."

When Bei Ze said this, Himekawa also remembered. "Really not?" He did remember his father asking Basel and Dr. Masuda seriously. ——Tazi will not suffer from the same disease in the future, will he? Himekawa still remembered sitting in the corner of the room looking at such a father, wondering a little sadly why his father was only worried about his sister. "Father really likes my sister." The sadness he felt at that time enveloped Himekawa's heart again. "I asked you three times, maybe I asked Dr. Masuda more times." "Maybe. I also thought it was incredible at first, and I wondered if your father didn't like you, although I'm sorry for you." Bize smiled lightly. "However, that's not my fault. It's only natural for me to think that way, because I didn't know it at the time."

"I don't know...?" These words were like a crochet needle, tightly hooking Himekawa's heart. "What do not you know?" "It's just that I always thought you belonged to your father..." Bei Ze shut his mouth suddenly, he squeezed his lips tightly, and looked up at Ji Chuan abruptly. Himekawa's heart was beating violently, followed by a slight beating like fingers beating on a table.With Bize standing in front of him as the center, the surrounding scenery turned white and disappeared without a trace.Himekawa's heart felt cold, he sucked in the air but couldn't get it out - because he intuitively understood why Bize stopped talking.

Baize, he... Baize, he didn't know until just now that Ji Chuan didn't know. In the pure white field of vision, Bize's lips opened hesitantly, and a slightly hoarse voice came out of his mouth: "Liang..."
