Chapter 6 first quarter

Monday morning, May 15th. At 6:40, the alarm clock rang, and Yoichiro sat up on the bed.When Sakieda was still there, Yoichiro got up at about seven o'clock every morning. Since Sakieda was hospitalized half a year ago, Yoichiro woke up at this time every day to make breakfast for himself and Osuke. He picked up the glasses next to his pillow, put them on, and stretched his waist.Since I started to use Helexin to fall asleep the night before, I feel much better when I wake up.Since Hanlexin is an ultra-short-acting sleeping pill, there is no need to worry that the effect of the drug will last until the next morning. Although the side effect may cause temporary amnesia, Yoichiro has not shown any signs of side effects so far.

There was a sound from outside the room.Yoichiro walked into the kitchen and was startled. The kettle was steaming on the gas stove, there were scrambled eggs in the pan next to it, and two sets of white plates and cups were placed on the four-seater dining table.It seems that Huang Jie has already prepared breakfast.However, Huang Jie was nowhere to be seen. "Huang Jie?" "Ah, Dad, good morning!" The son poked his head out from under the table. "Morning! What are you doing?" "nothing." Huang Jie patted his palms together and stood up.Probably picking up litter on the floor.

"Is breakfast ready?" "Didn't I say I would help with the housework...ah, it's baked." The toaster made a "ding" sound.Huang Jie took out two slices of toast from the toaster, spread milk marlin neatly, then poured the hot water in the kettle into the cup, and put the tea bag in it. "I made scrambled eggs again. Didn't you say it was delicious yesterday?" Huang Jie poured the scrambled eggs into the plate, topped with tomato sauce.There is less ketchup on the half, and that part is intended for Yoichiro to eat. "Here, Spoon."

"Ok." "Put it on this little plate." "thanks." Yoichiro sat on the chair and looked at the breakfast on the table again.He was quite surprised that his son could already do these things. "It's started." He took a sip of black tea and swallowed it slowly, as if even his chest warmed up.Pick up the scrambled eggs and taste them, the tenderness is just right.In the past, I didn't realize that Huang Jie might have a talent for cooking. "Ah, yes." Huang Jie raised his head while biting his toast and said: "I had a strange dream last night."

"What kind of dream?" "I dreamed that Aunt Hui died." "Megumi died...? Why did you have such a dream?" "I don't know, she died slowly in front of me. Why would I have that dream?" Yoichiro thought for a moment and said: "Didn't we talk about Hui when we were having dinner yesterday? It must have overlapped with your mother's." The dreams of human beings are caused by the duplication of memory in the brain.People temporarily enter the things that happen in daily life into the brain, and then copy them in a part called the hippocampus and transform them into memories.During the copying process, the fragments of information generated in the head are dreams.In other words, a dream is a flashback of one's thoughts or experiences.

Yoichiro turned this truth into simple words and explained it to Huangjie. "Ah, I see, it turns out that's the case..." Huang Jie seemed to understand.At this time, Yoichiro remembered another thing. "By the way, was there an earthquake last night?" "Earthquake? I don't know. Why do you ask?" "When Dad was sleeping last night... for some reason... it felt like he was shaking." Although he doesn't have a clear memory, Yoichiro always felt that he was asleep last night, and his body seemed to be shaking.Is that a dream or reality? "Want to read the news? There may be reports of an earthquake."

"Forget it, no need. It must be Dad's illusion." Yoichiro ate breakfast, changed his clothes, and took care of everything. He checked the time and found that there was still some time before the usual time to go out.He wanted to go into the kitchen to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Huang Jie. "No need, I'll just wash it." "Is that so? But it's too early to go out..." Yoichiro turned his head and glanced at the sky outside the balcony.The weather is very clear, the blue sky is mixed with hazy white clouds, the typical color of early summer.

"It's been a long time since I walked to the hospital. Since the weather is so good, I might as well walk." It is only a ten-minute drive from home to the university hospital where Yoichiro works. Yoichiro used to walk to the hospital several times in the past. "Can I take the earlier bus?" "No, I've decided, I have to go." Put on your shoes and open the door.The smell in the air hinted at the coming of summer, and Sagami Bay gleaming in the morning sun came into view. For some reason, Yoichiro had the feeling of seeing such a beautiful scenery for the first time.
