Sitting on a chair in front of the hospital room, Takeuchi took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket, tore off the outer packaging, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. He didn't just leave Natsuki Motegi behind and leave here.

He glanced at the lights on in the hospital room and suddenly remembered a lot of the past. In response to that sentence, everyone has a story.

Including Natsuki Motegi, who was once despised by himself and disliked a little, it doesn't seem to be what he imagined.

At this time, the doctor who was in the ward walked out. Takeuchi stood up and saw him looking at himself with a puzzled expression: "You are Natsuki's ......"

"Her friend." Takeuchi said lightly, it seems that it is really like what she said, because she often comes here, and the doctors and nurses here already know her.

The doctor sighed: "Comfort Natsuki, this disease has been supported to this point, and it is a kind of torment for patients and their families." ”

"Oh." Takeuchi Shu didn't ask, he could feel from the doctor's eyes that Natsuki's mother was already on the verge of death.

"Is she awake?"

"I'm awake, but I'm still weak." The doctor replied.

Takeuchi Shu nodded and thanked him. After seeing the doctor leave, Takeuchi walked to the door of the ward, and through the glass window, he saw the woman lying on the hospital bed, with an ugly face, who was receiving an infusion.

At this time, Natsuki finished the hospitalization procedures, and when she saw Takeuchi Shu standing outside the door, she said softly: "Thank you." ”

"Go see your mother." Takeuchi Xiu smiled slightly, and his tone was no longer so stiff.

Natsuki Motegi nodded, pushed the door and walked into the ward.

Takeuchi Shu didn't go in with him, he wasn't her anyone, but Shiraishi asked to send her home, and by the way, he helped.

Glancing at the time, Takeuchi walked downstairs and asked where the hospital's cafeteria was.

He made two meals and went back to Natsuki's mother's hospital room.

Seeing that Natsuki had been accompanied, Takeuchi walked in and said softly, "Let's eat first." ”

"Huh?" Natsuki looked at Takeuchi Shu in surprise, who hadn't left yet. Before, she had clearly seen that the man had already left. A woman's intuition tells herself that the man has an opinion about herself.

Takeuchi moved a chair and handed the packed lunch box to Natsuki.

"I guess it's going to be hard to eat, but it's better than being hungry." Takeuchi Shu calculated the time after school, and the time difference between it and the current one, she shouldn't have had lunch yet.

Natsuki took the lunch box handed over by Takeuchi Xiu, she blinked her eyes and looked at Takeuchi for a long time.

"What? Blooming on my face? Seeing that she didn't eat, Takeuchi asked strangely, instead staring at herself.

Natsuki shook his head and hesitated, "I think you should hate me very much." ”

Takeuchi Xiu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about hating, I have a relationship with Shiraishi." ”

"Oh." Natsuki Motegi stopped talking, she lowered her head to look at the hot meal in her hand, looked at Takeuchi Shu, and said thank you again.

Takeuchi looked at Natsuki's mother on the hospital bed, not knowing if she was in a coma or sleeping.

He glanced at the little girl in her school uniform and buried herself in eating, and then asked, "You have always taken care of your mother?" ”

"Hmm." Natsuki Motegi nodded, and she smiled lightly: "I spend more time in the hospital than at home." ”

......

Takeuchi Shu packed up the lunch box and the like, and then looked at Natsuki, "Do you want to stay here at night?" ”

"Hmm." Natsuki Motegi nodded.

"Uh, do you need to go back and clean up your things?" Takeuchi Xiu looked at her who was still wearing a school uniform, and although what Shiraishi had said to him came to mind, he didn't have any crooked thoughts.

Natsuki Motegi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, I'm going back." ”

"I'll send you?" Takeuchi Shu thought for a moment and asked.

"No, I'll just take a taxi back by myself." She hurriedly waved her hand, looking like she didn't need to bother.

Wu Neixiu sighed: "I'll send you back, it's going to be dark soon, and you're still dressed like this." ”

"I ......," Natsuki Motegi wanted to refuse.

Wu Neixiu said lightly: "Let's go, it's a matter of oil." ”

Natsuki Motegi nodded, looking at the long-haired man, and found that she didn't know when it began, the heavy wall between the two of them didn't seem to be there, and she felt that when this man talked to herself, he was no longer in that tireless state.

Following Takeuchi Shu, Natsuki Motegi once again sat in the passenger seat of EG6.

She was still clumsy in her seatbelt.

Wu Uchi Xiu really wants to ask, is there any difference between the seat belt of the s Ben and the EG6? I knew that this kind of joke couldn't be made, so I joked from the bottom of my heart.

Seeing that she was not right at the stuck point, she was actually under her nose and operated for a long time.

"I'll help you." As soon as the fire was lit, Takeuchi Shu stretched out his hand, turned sideways, and helped her align the buckle and fasten her seat belt.

Natsuki Motegi instinctively tightened his legs, because Takeuchi Shu was really close.

She blushed and didn't say a word to warn the man.

And Takeuchi Xiu didn't come and didn't notice it, but when he saw this little girl leaning back and clamping her legs, he realized that he was really close to her. You can even see the white thighs under the reading lamp, under the short skirt of the school uniform.

Because the person who sat in the co-pilot before was Keiko. So at this time, I reacted, and I could only be cheeky and pretend to be serious. It's all to blame for the Japanese school uniforms, and the design is too lacking in morality.

While driving, you can watch the scenery at night, and the neon lights flicker and intertwine in front of you. And Natsuki Motegi sat in the co-pilot seat and never spoke.

"Chewing gum?" At this time, Takeuchi Shu knew the embarrassment of the car without a radio and a CD, and in the silence, he took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket and handed it to her.

Natsuki Motegi did not refuse, and took the gum.

"Painter, is it interesting?" She was suddenly brave and tried to communicate with this man.

Takeuchi Shu shook his head: "It's not very interesting. ”

"You don't like it?" She looked at Takeuchi Shu in surprise.

Takeuchi smiled: "For me, this is the ability to make a living. If you don't like it, you can make money. ”

Such a sophisticated painter subverted Natsuki Motegi's imagination.

She looked at Takeuchi's side face and said, "I thought that painters loved this job and would be very happy." ”

"That's a real artist." Takeuchi Hide's smile glanced at Motegi Natsuki: "I'm just fake, my love has been invested elsewhere." ”

"But Dad...... Shiraishi said, you are very talented and attained. Natsuki Motegi said.

Takeuchi smiled and didn't answer. The world itself is very contradictory, maybe you are good at many things, and one thing can make money, but you can't put it in the first place.

While waiting for the signal light, Natsuki Motegi, like Takeuchi Shu, chewed gum.

"What's your name?" Abruptly, the girl asked.

Takeuchi Shu glanced at him, "Amos." ”

"Your Japanese name." Natsuki Motegi looked at him expectantly.

Takeuchi Shu looked at the second count of the signal light and didn't look at her: "Takeuchi Hide." ”

"Takeuchi ...... Same last name as someone I know. Natsuki Motegi said with a smile.

"A very common surname." Takeuchi Shu can't say, that's my nephew.

The signal light turns green and he starts the EG6. Natsuki Motegi sat next to him, observing Takeuchi Hide's movements, and found that he was very focused when driving, and always felt that although this man did not speak, he attracted himself to take the initiative to chat with him.

The two of them chatted without a word, and there was no generation gap between Takeuchi Shu and Motegi Natsuki, but the former was not very interested.

When she arrived at Natsuki Motegi's house, Takeuchi Shu thought for a moment and said to her, "Change your clothes and go out, and take a taxi to the hospital." I went home first. ”

"Hmm." She nodded.

Takeuchi Shu watched her get out of the car, said 'goodbye' and wanted to leave, but saw her hurriedly stop herself.

"The ......"

"What?" Takeuchi Xiu subconsciously glanced at the back row, didn't leave anything behind, and made himself look like a taxi driver.

Looking back at Natsuki Motegi in the cold wind at night, wearing a school uniform.

"Can you leave me the phone number?" This woman's words made Takeuchi Shu think that he had heard it wrong.

And coincidentally, at this time, 'Iketani' called.

Takeuchi Shu shook the ringing phone in his hand apologetically, and said to Natsuki Motegi, "You can find me through Mr. Shiraishi, I'll go first." With that, he ignored the inexplicable woman and disappeared from her sight with EG6 on.

Before answering the phone, look in the rearview mirror, the pretty figure.

Takeuchi Shu shook his head, how could it be.

"Hello?" Answering the phone, Takeuchi Shu threw away all the messy daily life with Natsuki Motegi and Shiraishi.

"Damn, you're finally listening to the phone, where's the pickled girl?" Iketani's voice was very loud, and the shocked Takeuchi Shu's ears hurt.

Takeuchi Shu opened the distance between the earpieces, and when he finished speaking, he replied, "What the hell are you looking for me at night?" ”

"Getting down to business, I'm really in a hurry." Iketani's tone suddenly became serious.

"Huh?"

"Your second game, can you pick it up?" On the phone, there was news that shocked Takeuchi Xiu's spirits.

Takeuchi Shu was silent for a moment, and asked directly, "Who is the opponent?" ”

"THE CAPTAIN OF MT. MYOGI NIGHT.KIDS, THE STRONGEST PLAYER IN GUNMA PREFECTURE WHO CAN RANK IN THE TOP 3......"

"Nakazato Yi!"
