"Miss Minami Birdie—"

Hearing the nurse's soft call, Nan Xiaoniao quickly raised her head and looked at the smiling doctor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Yes, I'm here!"

"It's no problem at all, and I won't go to the hospital for check-ups in the future."

Miss Nurse looked at Nan Xiaoniao with a gentle smile, this girl with a gentle temperament made people subconsciously want to take care of her.

"Ah, thank you......"

Although the result was expected, Nan Xiaoniao was still very happy, this disease can be said to be the most distressing thing for her since she was a child.

The problem on her knee has been cured since a few years ago, but her mother still wants her to insist on a check-up every year so that any problems can be detected in time.

She didn't have a check-up last year, but today she happened to pass by Mahime's hospital and thought about checking it out.

As a result, she was relieved, and her mother really thought too much!

Bidding farewell to the nurse, Nan Xiaoniao, who was carrying Xiaobao, walked out of his friend's hospital with an unknown tone.

However, when I arrived at the entrance of the hospital, I found ...... in my field of vision

How, how......

Seen by people who are very familiar with it.

He's going to ask, 'Why did you go to the hospital?' and how do I answer that?...... There's nothing to be afraid of, but I'm still embarrassed.

Because it came so suddenly, Nan Xiaotori kept thinking about it in place, not knowing what to do.

"Birdie!"

The familiar voice from the front made Nan Xiaoniao's shoulders shrink slightly.

Woo, the gods really love to play tricks on people.

I just ran into the person I don't want to meet the most now, why, why did it become like this......

Nan Xiaoniao pursed his mouth slightly.

"Sure enough, it's a bird."

It's a coincidence that they can all run into each other.

Running in small steps to Nan Xiaoniao, Ji Ming stared at Nan Xiaoniao, who was wearing a green lotus lace showing her purity and beauty, with a smile on his face, to be honest, I haven't seen them all the time for a week, and I really miss them a little! However, he will definitely not say this.

Otherwise, I guess I will be ridiculed and poisoned by some people, although they are joking.

"It's ...... me"

Nan Xiaoniao responded dejectedly, she would definitely be very happy to meet like this usually, but this is the time......

"What's wrong, are you not feeling well?"

Holiday came out of the hospital alone, what did you do just now naturally needless to say, because he didn't go to school recently, Ji Ming didn't know much about Nan Xiaoniao's situation, he asked with a serious concern.

"No, no."

Feeling the gentleness and thoughtfulness of the other party, Nan Xiaoniao, who was carrying the lady's bag, smiled sweetly, she really had nothing to do.

"Really? So what do you do in the hospital. ”

Ji Ming's eyes were suspicious, seeing that Nan Xiaoniao's energetic appearance really didn't look like she was sick, could it be that she went to the hospital to play with Zhenji?

No, no, no, that's weird!

The two of them can play ghost in the hospital.

Hearing this, Nan Xiaoniao subconsciously covered his left knee wearing knee-high white silk, with an uncomfortable smile on his face, "This ......"

Ji Ming naturally noticed this small action, and he showed a slightly surprised expression, "Little bird, your knee is injured?" ”

At this moment, Minami Kotori's mind came up with the excuse that "this is a recent accidental injury" that should be able to be obscured.

However, the next second, she bit her lip and said.

"Hmm...... No, it's all when I was a kid. ”

Ji Ming's eyes became even more surprised.

That's right.

didn't hide it from Xiaoguo and Xiaohai at all.

In a hurry, the southern bird noticed this.

At this moment, she felt that the shadows left in her heart when she was a child had all turned into shining stars and disappeared.

Why.

may have seen Ji Ming's serious and anxious expression--I thought of it in a hurry.

In the face of people who care about themselves so much, it's better to tell the truth.

Although she was afraid of being disliked by the other party, she could keep it hidden - but she didn't want to do it.

I feel that if I keep dwelling on this matter, I will become very ashamed to meet people.

It's not a big secret that has to be hidden, well, she thinks so.

So there's no need to pretend to be a ghost here, and there's no need to pretend to be casual in order not to make others feel sympathetic - just go with the flow.

It's good to tell Ji Ming the truth directly.

That's what a good friend should be, she thinks.

and the person you want to like, you should do this.

Ah, if only I could have noticed it earlier.

"That's probably the case—"

The two walked side by side on the slightly quiet streets of Chiyoda, and Minami Kotori mustered up a lot of courage and explained the reason for going to the hospital.

Actually, I was born with some problems with my left foot, although it was not so bad that I couldn't walk, but sometimes it was inevitable that I would have a sloped foot.

I was ridiculed by the people around me because of this, but what I don't want to see more than this is the sympathy of others. In Japan, people who are different from themselves are always subjected to a variety of stares.

When I was a child, I wanted to be like everyone else.

I underwent surgery when I was five years old, and now I am able to walk normally, but my mother still asks me to go to the hospital once a year for a check-up at the doctor's instructions.

I'm not trying to hide it, let alone publicize it—I'm just ...... wants to be an ordinary girl like Xiaoguo Xiaohai.

After spending so much time with their childhood friends, it is inevitable that they will occasionally find out about this situation, but when they ask, when they want to speak, they always think of those unpleasant experiences in the past, and they have been habitually hiding them for a long time, and they feel helpless about such an inhonest self.

"Hmm...... So that's the case, I didn't expect the bird to have such a past. ”

After quietly listening to Nan Xiaoniao's long talk, Ji Ming rubbed her hair helplessly, is this why she has always been so inferior?

I have to say, it's really a stupid person.

Looking at the apprehension on Nan Xiaoniao's delicate and gentle face, Ji Ming showed a warm smile from the heart, "I don't think it's anything, whether it's the previous bird or the current bird, I like it very much." Well, though, it's great to be fully recovered. ”

Looking at Ji Ming, who had a mature and handsome smile, Nan Xiaoniao was slightly stupid.

He always stood in a sunny spot with a smile on his face.

Ah, is it your own delusion?

Why do I feel like the whole world is shining brightly under his smile?
