Chapter 39 Section 38

The hospital is located next to Peach Valley Station on the Circular Line.This is a general hospital with a large parking lot and even a taxi waiting area.Walking into the front glass door, there is a large waiting room. On the left is the registration office, where you can go through admission procedures or registration at different windows. When Shisheng went to the admission window to inquire about Chizuru's ward, Takumi was standing in the corner of the waiting room watching TV, and the "Southern Star" band was singing "Lovely Ellie" passionately. Time is back. "In Ward 5024."

The two walked towards the elevator. "This hospital is really big and magnificent. She still lives in a single ward, and the hospital fee must have been knocked down a lot." "Doesn't the hospitalization fee mean that Takakura will figure out a solution?" "It's a good word. But if we live in a cheaper hospital, can't we make some money?" "How is this possible? You can figure out such a trick." Taking the elevator up to the fifth floor, they came to a long corridor.Ward 5024 is the second to last room at the end.Shisheng stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a low voice came out: "Please come in." It was Qianhe's voice.

Tuoshi opened the door, the room was about six stacks in size, the hospital bed was placed by the window, Chizuru propped up his upper body, and a magazine was spread out in front of him. "Ah, brother Tuoshi," she suddenly became lively, "and Mr. Shi Sheng, you all came to see me." "We also have an appointment with Takemi, but she said she wants to practice rock and roll." Takumi put the paper bag he brought on the bedside table, "I bought you ice cream." "Wow, thanks." "How is your body? Does it still hurt here or there?" "It's okay. Mr. Gao Cang made a big fuss and let me live in such a big ward. To be honest, I'm bored."

"Well, he pays anyway, don't worry. Ice cream?" "En." Qianzuru nodded, and took out a box of ice cream from the paper bag. "Have you finished those annoying procedures? I heard that Gao Cang's colleagues also asked you a lot." "It's basically over, but I can't let me go yet. I seem to be an important card in their hand." Qianzuru scooped up the ice cream and put it in his mouth, said "It's delicious", with a happy face look. "Really, getting involved in such a stupid thing. Whether it's embezzlement or smuggling, it has nothing to do with us anyway."

Hearing this, Qianhe stopped delivering the ice cream to his mouth, and lowered his gaze. "I forgot to thank you. Brother Tuo, there are more. There is still time, I have caused you trouble." "You don't need to thank me. It's about time, isn't it?" Chizuru raised his head. "what?" "Can you tell me what you really think? What exactly do you think? Why did you run away without telling me? If you really like that kid Okabe, it's fine. If you don't tell me clearly, I won't Dimensions are messed up." "Ah, this..." Qianhe lowered his head again and stopped his hands.

"I'll wait outside." Shi Sheng said. "No. As long as you don't find it annoying, stay here. Isn't it, Chizuru? This guy also ran dizzy because of you, so he should have the right to listen to your affairs." Chizuru nodded, put the ice cream on the bedside table, and sighed. "Okabe has long proposed to be with me. I don't hate him, it should be said that I like him." "Qianhe..." "But, I have nothing to do with him. I have you, so I always avoid him. Just like that, one day, Okabe proposed to me." This sentence was like a counterattack to Takumi.His heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed.

"He wants to marry you, so you just follow him?" "Of course I refused immediately. But he didn't give up, saying that he could wait anytime. Later, he mentioned several times that he wanted to marry me, saying that he only had me in his heart." "Didn't you tell him about me?" Takumi asked. Chizuru smiled slightly, blinking her eyelashes. "I am a cunning woman, and I will eventually weigh it in my heart: on one side is the salaryman Okabe with a stable income, and on the other is the unemployed Takumi. Who is more beneficial to my future to live with? If I tell him about you, Maybe he really gave up, but I also want to keep his card."

"real?" "There are too many reasons. My family is poor, I can't afford to go to nursing school, and the money I earn as a hostess has to be sent home. In a word, I am tired. I feel that as long as I can't live a good life, life has no future. At that time I'm depressed, and I feel that Okabe's marriage proposal is a rare opportunity." "That means I can't do it?" "Brother Tuoshi, it would be the best if you propose to me." Chizuru looked at Tuoshi with a stiff smile, "If you are willing to work hard and want me to be your wife."

Now it was Takumi's turn to bow his head.Staring at his muddy shoes, he felt that he had no right to blame Chizuru for such disturbing thoughts.Qianhe has said many times that he should work hard, but he always sings the opposite.He didn't bother looking for a decent job at all, and he always felt that it wasn't his fault that he didn't have a job, but that the responsibility lay with the person who threw him away.He also always wanted to get rich overnight, and he always talked about bluff. "That was my last temptation." "which one?" "Go to that company for an interview. Didn't I ask you to go?"

"Ah..." Tuo Shi nodded—this happened before, but it feels like it's been a long time. "Brother Tuoshi, you didn't go?" "Hey?" "Didn't go to the interview?" "No, I, this..." "Okay, don't make it up, I've seen it all." "See what?" "I was very worried. I called the company and asked about Miyamoto Takumi's interview results. They said that this guy was late, and after being said a few words, he went back in a fit of anger." Tuoshi scallop lips.It turned out that Qianhe knew everything about it.

"Tuoshi..." Shi Sheng cried out in disappointment from behind, "You told me that you took part in the interview, and that you didn't succeed because you had no connections. So it was all a lie." Takushi was speechless and could only clenched his fists. "However, this is not the decisive factor." Chizuru said, "I went to find you. I want to say a few words to you. I can guess where you will go. It's nothing more than a billiard room or a coffee shop. You really In the coffee shop on Nakamise Street, laying down a stack of 100-yen coins, playing 'Space Invaders'." The scene at that time appeared in Tuoshi's mind.It turned out that he had been discovered by Qianhe at that time. "You found me and hid." "Ok……" "Secretly hiding under the table..." Chizuru was right.At that time, he was afraid that she would complain if she found out, so he did hide it. "That's when I made up my mind that this wasn't going to work." "It's not like what a man would do," Takumi muttered, "It's worthless!" "I can tolerate Brother Tuoshi and your nonsense. I think no matter who you are, you will mature and stabilize as you grow older. But I don't want to see you like that-whether you are bluffing or angry, you must always be upright. " "I made you feel hopeless?" "Not exactly. At that time, I also saw my own appearance from you: I was old and unlucky, I couldn't do anything well, and I gradually became servile. Brother Tuo, you must have become like that because of me. We We are hopelessly together, and we have reached the point where we must go our separate ways." "So, you chose Okabe?" "Earlier, he asked me to go to Osaka together, and said that he would get married after finishing his work in Osaka. I was still undecided at the time, so I gambled with your interview. As long as you interview well, Even if I am not hired, I will immediately break up with Okabe." Toshi sighed. "That is to say, I have drawn a card that I will lose." "At that time, I thought it was the best decision." Qianzuru shook his head slowly, "But, I was punished by God. I didn't expect Okabe to do such a thing. I only heard him about the details after I came to Osaka. I said it, but I couldn’t turn back at that time. Okabe was also very distressed, and I think I can only go as far as I can. This is the punishment brought by putting people on the balance.” She raised her head, Smiling again, "I never dreamed that Brother Tuoshi would come to save me." "Qianhe..." Chizuru looked at the bedside table. "The ice cream has melted..." "What are you going to do from now on?" "I don't know. They won't give me back my freedom right away, but I can also take a good rest. I have nowhere to go. I want to go back to my hometown after this matter is over." Takumi looked at the listless Chizuru and wanted to say, "Let's start over," but he held back desperately.He felt that Qianhe would not accept it, and he also understood that this was not the right path for the two of them. "I understand." Tuoshi approached the hospital bed and stretched out his right hand, "Take care of yourself." Chizuru lowered her head deeply, her thin shoulders trembling slightly.She still put her hand on Takumi's palm. "Brother Tuoshi, take care too." Tuoshi held it firmly, but Qianhe stretched out his other hand and gently pushed his hand away.She looked up at Takumi.His eyes were red, and he seemed to be about to burst into tears, but he was still smiling. "Thank you for your care." Takumi nodded silently, turned and left.Shi Sheng followed behind him.Takumi wanted to look back at Qianhe again, but he held back and walked out of the ward. Except for the hospital, Tuoshi had nothing to say for a while, and Shisheng was also silent. After buying a ticket at Taogu Station, standing on the platform, Tuoshi picked up a cigarette.The night was dark. "I'm so stupid." Tuo Shi looked down at the railroad tracks and muttered, "I lost something precious, but I found it, but it was too late." "I thought just now that maybe these two people will get back together." "yes?" "There is such an atmosphere." Toshi took a breath of smoke. "I'm not going to lose face again." "There's nothing to be ashamed of." The tram pulls in.Tuoshi just wanted to throw the cigarette butts under his feet, but then changed his mind and threw them into the iron cylinder specially for cigarette butts.Shi Sheng was surprised. "I'm not always a stunned young man." After speaking, Tuoshi smiled. After the tram drove for a while, Takumi said, "Hey, don't you want to go there and have a look?" "where?" "Tojo family, I want to meet again. Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you." Shi Sheng, who was looking out the window, turned his face to Takumi, stared at him closely, and nodded emphatically.
