Chapter 40 Section 40

Fortunately, today is Sunday, Heisuke thought.If Sami Nami showed up when she was at work, the situation might develop in an uncontrollable direction. After coming to the Japanese-style room and drinking a cup of tea, Heisuke explained the ins and outs of the matter to Naoko.Before Heisuke finished speaking, Naoko was already very excited. "So Sami Nami isn't dead, right? That means, for some reason, her consciousness has been dormant, is that so?" "I think it should be like this." "Ah..." Naoko folded her hands in front of her chest, "Unbelievable, unbelievably happy. I never thought there would be such a great miracle in the world!"

"But now she's gone again." "Since she has appeared once, she will definitely appear again. Don't worry, she will definitely." Naoko said firmly.Her expression was quite different from before yesterday. "But it's really difficult to explain to her. Although I've already told her the most important points..." "How could she understand this kind of thing all at once?" Naoko was silent for a while as if thinking about something.After that, she raised her head and said, "I think it's best for me to explain to her. After all, I know that child best."

"I'm afraid this can't be done, right?" Heisuke said, "Because when Sami Nami showed up, Naoko was gone." "That's why I want to write her a letter. After Sami Nami appears, just let her read the letter." "Ah, makes sense." "I'm going to write right now. It's best to keep it with you after you finish writing. I don't know when Sami Nami will come back." "Then tell me, what if Zao Qinmei shows up when I'm not around? For example, when I'm at school." It can be predicted that even if Sami Nami has the letter written by Naoko with her, she may not be able to see the letter immediately when she shows up next time, and she may fall into a serious panic.

"That's something that can't be helped, right?" Naoko said, "What can I do? Can you not go to work and stay by my side all the time?" "That's impossible." Heisuke scratched his forehead. "Right? So once that happens, you can only explain to the people around you that your daughter is a little nervous." "In that case, my daughter will be very uncomfortable." Heisuke said with a bitter face, "It seems that I can only pray in my heart that that kind of situation will not happen." "Actually, I think we don't need to worry about it."

"why?" "As long as I don't fall asleep, there will be no problem. Sami Nami can only come back when I wake up, right? Isn't it like this this time?" "I see. Maybe you're right." "Looks like I won't be able to nap in class anymore." "That's right." Heisuke and Naoko smiled face to face.He thought to himself, how many months hadn't been like this. Naoko's expression returned to seriousness, and while fiddling with the teacup in her hand, she said, "However, I always feel a little weird." "yes?"

"Think about it, the current situation is that Sami Nami's body is jointly owned by me and the child. It can be said that we are using Sami Nami's body alternately." "Ah..." Hirasuke nodded, "That's indeed the case." "Actually," Naoko said, looking straight into Heisuke's eyes, "it's time for me to disappear, it must be like this." Heisuke averted his eyes. "Stop talking nonsense." After finishing speaking, he drank the remaining sip of tea at the bottom of the teacup. The two had a little party tonight.Naoko made chicken nuggets and hamburger patties, and Heisuke went to a nearby pastry shop to buy an excellent flower cake.These are Sami Nami's favorite things to eat.

"Welcome back, Sami Nami!" After the two finished speaking, they raised their wine and toasted. Sami Nami's consciousness did not reappear after that.Every day when Ping Jie came back from get off work and saw her for the first time, he would wonder which one she was.Her answer is always the same: "I'm sorry, it's still me." Naoko, who for a period of time was so depressed that Heisuke worried about committing suicide, has now become thoroughly cheerful.As for the reason, whether it is Sami Nami's resurrection or Heisuke's declaration that he wants to be her father completely, Heisuke does not know.Of course, it doesn't matter which one it is.Heisuke even thought that as long as he could see Naoko's happy face, he didn't care even if Sami Nami didn't appear again.

But it seems that Naoko is convinced that Sami Nami will reappear.According to her, the letter to her daughter is progressing steadily and smoothly. "If Sami Nami shows up with Dad, remember to tell her to look inside the socks." "Inside the socks?" "I hid a note in it saying where my letter to her was kept." Heisuke understood Naoko's intentions.It is also very difficult to carry such a thick letter with me every day. After Sami Nami appeared, another 6 days passed, and then Sunday came. Hirasuke seemed to have a premonition, so after getting up in the morning, he put on a cardigan over his pajamas and came to her room and knocked on the door.There was no answer in the room.

So, Heisuke gently opened the door.She was sitting on the bed with her back to the door. "That..." he said to her. She sat up straight and looked back at Heisuke with a dazed expression.Intuition told him that this was Sami Nami. "how do you feel?" She looked at her hands, and then covered her forehead as if trying to hold back a headache. "I seem to have slept for a long time again?" "It's not that long." Heisuke said as he entered the room, "This time it's not very long, it's only a week." "Have I been sleeping all week?"

"Ah, no. Didn't I tell you before that my mother came into Sami Nami's body." Sami Nami still had an expression of being unable to grasp the situation.She tilted her head: "show me the mirror." Hirasuke took out the mirror from the drawer and handed it to her.She looked cautiously into the mirror. "It seems that this is really not a dream. I have really grown up." "Remember what Dad told you the last time you woke up?" She nodded: "I thought it was a dream." "That's not a dream. Ah, by the way, my mother told me one more thing."

"Huh? Mom told you?" "She told me to show Sami the socks the next time she wakes up." "Socks?" She looked around.There was a pair of white socks hanging beside the bed. She picked up the socks, looked inside, and found that there seemed to be something inside.She stuck her fingers in. "There's this in here." She pulled out a stack of papers. "That's a message from your mother." Heisuke said. Sami Nami unfolded the paper and handed it to Heisuke after reading it.Heisuke took the paper and saw that it said: "On the bottom shelf, the diary on the right is only allowed to be read by myself." Heisuke looked at Sami Nami's face, and then turned his gaze to the bookshelf.Her eyes did the same. She got out of bed, squatted down in front of the bookshelf, and pulled out a diary from the place indicated by the piece of paper. "Found it." After speaking, she showed the cover to Heisuke.It was a diary with a picture of a kitten drawn on the cover, and a few small characters were written on it with a pink signature pen - To Saka Nami.The handwriting is Naoko's. "It said in the message that you can read it alone?" Hirasuke asked. She nodded silently. "Then, Dad is going downstairs first. Call me if you need anything." He went out of the room and closed the door. While waiting downstairs, Hirasuke became anxious.What kind of letter did Naoko write to Sami Nami?What kind of mentality will Sami Nami accept the contents of this letter?In order to calmly deal with any situation, Hirasuke began to make psychological preparations. Two hours passed, and there was still no response from upstairs.Ping Jie began to worry.He was about to get up and go upstairs to check the situation when the door opened from the second floor. Tap, tap, tap, the sound of her going down the stairs was like raindrops on the ground.When she came into the room, her gaze was still a little uncertain. "Are you alright?" Hikaru asked. "It's okay." After she finished speaking, she sat down on the straw mat, her eyes fixed on the surface of the straw mat. "It turns out that so many things happened in the competition." "Yeah, after all, there are more than five years. Is everything that happened in these five years written on it?" "No. My mother said that I only wrote a rough outline because I couldn't finish it all at once. However, I have been tired enough to read it." "That's right." But, is it more tiring when writing?Ping Jie thought in his heart. "It's unbelievable! Before I knew it, I became a junior high school student, and then from a junior high school student to a high school student!" "Mom took the entrance exam twice for you." "Yeah, it really surprised me." "Mom said that because she lived for Sami Nami, she couldn't do things that she would regret." "Oh..." she said, she suddenly closed her eyes half-closed, and her head began to shake, "I seem to be a little sleepy." "Are you going to sleep?" "Well, I'm really sleepy. Tell me, if I fall asleep, will my mother come out?" "yes." "Then say hello to mom for me, and thank her..." Sami Nami closed her eyes after she finished speaking, and lay down on the straw mat, breathing in sleep soon. Worried that she would catch a cold like this, Hirasuke wanted to carry her upstairs to sleep.Just when he stretched his blind arm under her shoulders and legs to hug her up, she suddenly opened her eyes. "Ah!" The two screamed almost simultaneously.After looking around for a week, she looked up at Heisuke. "Sami Nami appeared?" "Yeah. But I fell asleep again just now, and now it's Naoko's turn to appear." "Ah, I'm sorry, it's all because of me coming out." "No, this is good." Heisuke retracted his arms, sat down again and said, "She seems to have finished reading that diary." "What did she say?" "The first is to be surprised, and the second is to think of gratitude." "grateful?" "Yeah." Then Heisuke told Naoko the conversation he had with Sami Nami. Naoko blinked a few times: "It seems that I have to hurry up and continue writing. There are still a lot of things this kid doesn't know!" "However, don't write about things you shouldn't write!" It seemed that Naoko understood the meaning of this sentence.She smiled wryly, showing her white teeth, "Don't worry, I won't write." "That's fine." "Father, tell me—" Naoko said, "Aren't you happy that Sami Nami is back?" "Of course I'm happy!" Heisuke replied, "It's like a dream." "Yeah, I'm also very happy." After speaking, she looked into the yard.Thinking that he had found the cat again, Hirasuke also looked over there, but saw nothing. Only the long weeds are swaying in the wind.
