Chapter Thirty-Six: Rico Awakens
Traces sat down: "Tezuka, come, supper." β
"I'll go see her." Tezuka finished speaking and walked in.
When Long Ya was following closely behind, the trace department grabbed him. "It's not appropriate for you to go in."
"She's my sister, so it's not appropriate for me to go." Long Ya stopped.
"She's your sister?" The trace department doubts life, unbelievable.
"We are both adopted children of Minamijiro Echizen." Long Ya took the opportunity to sit beside the trace, "Add another pair of dishes and chopsticks." β
The trace department motioned to the housekeeper to buy more dishes and chopsticks, and instructed the kitchen to make some more food.
After Long Ya got the dishes and chopsticks, she ate them: "She arrived home a month after I was adopted. β
"I've never heard her mention you, but I've always mentioned Ryoma." Traces of idle topics.
"Because I have only been in Ryoma's house for 2 years, my aunt won custody, so I followed my aunt to raise me. Later, I met her in a taekwondo class. Long Ya said all this calmly.
"If it weren't for you today, I guess it would be difficult for me to break in decisively." The trace department let go of the aura of dominating the world and said gratefully.
"I'm relieved she's safe, hasn't she been back on the court to play?" Long Ya changed the subject.
"I've only seen her smash my house with a tennis ball." Traces answered.
"Hahahahahaha, yes, it will be interesting for the person who marries her to fight in the future." Echizen Ryuya gaggled his laughter.
At this time in the room, Tezuka sat on the side reading a book, brewing a pot of plum tea on the coffee table, and observing the patients on the bed from time to time. Soon, Rico woke up and soothed her brow at the smell of medicine and plum in the air.
"Awake?" Tezuka saw her move twice, put down the book, and stared at her.
"Ahh Rico wanted to get up, and a pain forced her to go back to bed.
"Be careful, you are covered in bandages, although they are all skin injuries, but they were almost beaten to the point of organ bleeding, and you can rest assured in bed." Tezuka grabbed her hand and said worriedly.
"Why did you come here and save it?" Rico panicked with shame, she was a patient now, and she had to make him even more pitiful.
"I'm worried about you." Tezuka's worried expression was palpable. "If I hadn't called you at that time, you might have noticed a nearby vehicle trying to hit you."
Such a person, blaming himself, is actually worrying. Rico stretched her brows: "It's okay, I originally went to the company that day to do a risky thing." Suddenly, his stomach rumbled, and he instantly blushed: "Get me something to eat, and you and the people outside should rest separately!" β
"I'll go get you something to eat first." Tezuka got up and went to the antechamber. Seeing that the two were sitting at the dining table chatting, he turned to the housekeeper and said, "I'm sorry for you, make some liquid porridge." β
"Yes." The housekeeper immediately went to the kitchen.
"It's a little bit of this, why don't you eat it together?" Long Ya invited.
"No, Rico is awake and hungry, and the doctor just said that she should eat some liquid food for the first meal." Tezuka stood aside.
"Wake up! I'll take a look. As soon as the words fell, Long Ya disappeared from the original position.
"He's Ryoma's older brother? Looks a few years older than us. Tezuka said to the traces.
"He's in college, you sit down and eat something first." The trace department asked people to go and set up another pair of dishes and chopsticks. "Seeing that the sky is about to dawn, when she finishes eating, we will rest first."
Ryuya went to Rico's room, wondering if she had something to say. Tezuka didn't follow up, so he sat down at the table and ate something together.
"You, I've saved you twice, when will I worry less." Long Ya teased.
"Hehe, thank you, brother." Rico couldn't help but laugh when she heard him joke.
"If the mess here is dealt with, it's time for you to go back to Japan!" Long Ya played with the book on the table.
"Don't know yet? Besides, this side of the matter is not finished yet. Rico lay on the bed and stared at the tube of the infusion, dripping into her arm.
"You're going to stay in the Seahorse Group like this for the rest of your life?" Seeing that she was confused, Long Ya asked.
"Naturally, I don't want to."
"Isn't that over, when the time comes, just like me, how comfortable it is to play tennis!" Ryuya tries to get her to not give up tennis.
"Long Ya, you think too much, I want to wait for the matter to be over, naturally I have to stand on the field again and compete with Jeff, who is now showing off his might." Rico pierced his mind.
"This is my sister, and the Echizen family is not a shrunken turtle." Long Ya got up, "I'm leaving, you take care, I don't know if I can save you next time." β
"I'll save myself next time." Rico smiled, "I'm waiting for nothing, and I want to wander around like you." β
"Hahaha." Long Ya's hearty laughter gradually faded away.
"Is he gone?" The traces are puzzled.
One of the women, dressed in a maid's costume, walked over: "Mr. Echizen said that he was used to coming and going freely, so he didn't have to worry about him. β
"The porridge is ready." The housekeeper brought out the porridge and reminded.
"Don't bother you, I'll just bring it in here! Butler, you go to rest first. Tezuka said as he got up and took the plate, turned around and walked into the room.
"Mr. Tezuka's kindness to Miss Tang is really attentive." The butler smiled kindly.
"yes." Keigo was a little lonely: "I still thought I could protect her for a few years, but she was about to be arched by a pig." "The hand suddenly started to be ruthless, breaking the chopsticks in the hand." Take it, you don't have to keep watching, I'm going to take a shower and rest. Then he left the living room and went back to his room.
"Yes." The butler said to the servants: "Arrange Tezuka's current room first, and then you all go and rest!" β
In the room, Tezuka put the porridge aside, helped Rico up with a handle, half-sat on the bed, and then thoughtfully placed two pillows around his waist.
"Thank you!" Rico's voice trembled in pain, and she thought to herself, "It looks like I'm going to be lying in bed for half a month." β
In the corner of the room, he found a small table for the bed, carefully placed it in front of Rico, and set it up. Finally, the plate was placed on the table.
"My arm is still hurting, I'll feed you." Tezuka scooped a spoonful of porridge into a bowl with a spoon, blew it in his mouth, and handed it to her mouth.
"Thank you, my arm didn't have any medicine all afternoon, and now it's all swollen." Rico's miserable smile made Tezuka feel more and more distressed, and then opened his mouth and asked him to feed the food.
"My throat and stomach hurt when I swallow now." Rico was coquettish, but the expression on her face was like crying.
"Swallow slowly." From time to time, Tezuka wiped her mouth with a tissue.
"Why don't you go back early today, so as not to delay your rehabilitation." Rico looked at him and tried to persuade.
"It's okay, I've taken a leave of absence." Tezuka continued to work with the spoon in his hand to feed her porridge, and his eyes glanced at her from time to time, as if to say, "Don't try to drive me away." β
"Huh." Seeing that, Rico couldn't help laughing, as if the awkwardness in her heart before didn't exist: "This kind of expression is rare." β
"You don't know how worried I am, for fear that you will be skinned and torn alive in their hands, and you can still laugh." He angrily gave the unconscionable roll of the eyes to the lying on the bed.
"Didn't I come out in good shape?" Rico smiled absently. "They won't kill me if they want anything from me."
"Stop laughing, it's ugly." Tezuka pretended to be angry and stopped what he was doing.
"Okay, I'm still a patient, I'm still hungry, I can't make me faint all of a sudden." Rico said and prepared to pretend to be dizzy.
"Heyβhey." Tezuka hurriedly grabbed her in case she took the opportunity to fall, seeing that Rico was about to return to normal, her tangled heart instantly let go, "I know you're pretending." β
"As long as you eat it." Rico stuck her tongue out at him mischievously.
"Huh! I'll eat your set. Tezuka was helpless, he couldn't pretend anymore, and he regained his nature.
"When you're full, put me down and lie down, you go and rest first, it's been a busy night." Rico looked satisfied, if it weren't for her weakness, she would have wanted to bully her and scratch her armpits.
"Okay." After Tezuka cleaned everything up, he helped Rico to lie on the bed, and looked at the liquid in the hanging bottle that was almost gone, "I'll go and ask the doctor to pull out the hanging bottle for you first." β
"Hmm!" Rico agreed, and Tezuka walked out and closed the door.
During this time, Rico fell asleep again, and the doctor came in from time to time to change the hanging bottle.
After Tezuka Kunimitsu woke up, he had already gone out for a run and came back, and met the trace department at the door: "You are still so self-disciplined." β
"Ahh Tezuka replied. "I'll go take a shower and make a cup of tea first."
"Plum tea, give me a cup." The trace department suddenly remembered that yesterday the housekeeper had a smell of plums, which was very good.
"Yes, go to my room." Tezuka didn't understand what he was smoking, and took the trace into the room where he rested last night. "I'll go take a shower first, and you can read a book casually."
Tracebe picked up a copy casually: "Isn't this the book in the Grunwald villa?" β
"Ah, I didn't finish reading it, so I took it." There was a sound of water in the bathroom, and Tezuka was taking a shower.
"You're reading a book that even my cousin is reading, what's in it!" Tracebe quipped.
Tezuka didn't reply, and after a while, he walked out in a bathrobe, his brown and yellow wet hair messily on his head, and the towel in his hand rubbed the ground on his head from time to time
He walked to the shelf, took out the mineral water that the butler had placed in the room, poured it into the electric kettle, plugged it in, and waited for the water to boil.
