Chapter 27 Section five

On the way to deliver the goods the next day, I suddenly felt like urinating, and I hurriedly looked for a convenience store.I couldn't find it after searching for a long time, so I had to turn around a sign that said the entrance of the park, and parked the truck at the edge of the park.When I jumped out of the driver's seat and ran to the public toilet, I saw hydrangeas that had been hit by the rain in the corner of the green belt.After going to the toilet, I checked that no one was around, so I picked a branch and went back to the truck.There is a department store off the national road, and I bought a beautiful glass bottle there.

In the evening, I walked into the ward with a temporary "flower arrangement", and my sister greeted me with a smile as if nothing happened yesterday. "Didn't you pick it up secretly?" "I bought it. Didn't you say you wanted to see hydrangeas?" I put the flowers on the table by the bed.Since I didn't want to see the portrait, I stood in front of it on purpose.The elder sister didn't seem to notice, propped up her upper body with her hands behind her, and looked at the lavender greenhouse and the crystal green with a smile.In the round-neck hospital gown without a collar, the collarbone is clearly visible under the snow-white skin.

"Can I still see the hydrangeas in the school..." "It won't take that long anyway." When I smiled and sat on the folding chair, there was a sound from the corridor, and a slightly fat middle-aged nurse came in pushing a cart loaded with food. "Ah, dinner?" "Yes. But it doesn't matter that you're here—doesn't it matter?" The nurse smiled and nodded in response to her sister's question, and left the ward after putting the plate on the activity table on the bed. "...Why did the aunt laugh just now?" "I told her bright things."

"How do you say it?" "Still a child." My sister said it casually on purpose, and then went to get the spoon.I wanted to talk back to her, but I was worried about my mother, so I swallowed the words that came to my mouth. "Speaking of which, don't you still have surgery?" "It's not good to say that your physical condition is not good." Dinner is porridge with vegetables and hot spring eggs.Whenever the sister who closed her eyes drank the porridge with a spoon, the boiled eggs in the small plate next to her would shake tremblingly. "It doesn't look very tasty."

"That's not the case." My sister scooped up hot spring eggs with a spoon while talking.When did my sister become able to eat these things without any scruples?I still can't eat fried eggs, and I definitely can't eat hot spring eggs. Speaking of which, when my father told us with a smile that the cancer cells nesting and growing in our body were like fried eggs, it happened to be this period.It was also raining outside the ward at that time. "My sister's esophagus doesn't look like a fried egg, does it?" I said it half-jokingly. My sister immediately replied to me and said:

"how is this possible." My sister's eyes are always on the small dish with hot spring eggs. An inexplicable uneasiness welled up in his chest.Come to think of it, this unease did not start today.Deliberately folding off the hydrangeas may also come from this kind of anxiety. After eating, my sister looked bored and started singing again. "Stop singing, Darkness." Dark melodies make waves on the restless surface. "What's wrong with that, I like sad songs." My sister didn't stop, she looked out the window and continued to sing in a low voice.As the singing cadenced, I felt a cold pain in my chest.Trying to get rid of this feeling, I suddenly became uncomfortable.

"Stop singing!" It was so loud that I surprised myself.My sister's slender shoulders trembled. "……why?" "It's too dark. I hate this kind of darkness the most." I gave reasons indiscriminately, and felt that I couldn't stay any longer, so I stood up from the chair with a loud noise on purpose.The elder sister shrank back a little, her lips were tightly closed, and she looked at her younger brother as if meeting her for the first time.
