"We're back~~" Sakura Yamauchi's voice came from the front yard.

Kyosuke Hojo, who was picking up the barbecue grill in the courtyard, threw down his belongings and walked into the living room the moment he heard the sound.

"Welcome home."

Looking at the three girls with bags in their hands, they walked up to take the things with a smile.

"Ah, I'm so tired, I'm tired." Sakura yelled as she changed her shoes, but her voice was still full of energy.

"I told you not to buy so many drinks." Naoka complained.

"A barbecue without carbonated drinks is soulless! That's right, nitrate~" Sakura retorted loudly.

"Well, I think it's okay to have oolong tea." Glass said weakly, even if it is her, she has her own insistence, and oolong tea that can relieve greasy when eating barbecue is the best choice.

"Oh, no, I'm going to make you feel the beauty of Coke tonight!" Sakura let out an unwilling whimper.

Kyosuke Hojo lifted everything to the ground next to the sofa, and Glass and Naoka also sat on the sofa, lazily relaxing. Only Sakura sat on the carpet, leaning on the sofa next to someone, stretching her long legs, which would have made it clear that she was really tired.

"Kyosuke, is the barbecue ready? Hurry up and bring it over, grass belly, hairy belly, beehive ......"

The smooth little feet kept knocking on the carpet, the slippers had long been thrown away, as if they were announcing the name of the dish, and the voice of the vitality kept reading the internal organs of various cows.

Kyosuke Hojo looked at Sakura, who had just stood up next to her thighs, and listened to the words in her mouth that he couldn't fully recognize even from a farmer's family, and rubbed her head vigorously:

"I'll talk about the barbecue later, and the charcoal will burn for a while, so hurry up and show me the medical report."

"Really, Kyosuke, you really don't hide your curiosity about the privacy of high school girls at all."

Muttering like this, Sakura obediently leaned over and took out a schoolbag, took out a document bag from it and handed it over. The same is true for the glass and straight flower next to it.

"Kyosuke-kun, the doctor said that my hearing has no signs of deterioration~" Glass said happily.

"yes, that's great!"

"Where's the straight flower?"

"Everything is normal, next time let's go for an ordinary physical examination, right?"

"No, no, no, since I've already gone for a physical examination, of course I have to check it well!" It was Sakura who said this.

"That's right, and didn't I help you all buy commercial insurance, this can be reimbursed." Kyosuke Hojo said with a smile that this was also a gift he gave to everyone after making money.

"Originally, there was already a lot of national medical insurance, and I also bought commercial insurance...... "Just thinking about the amount that Kyosuke has to pay every year, Naoka feels like his heart is bleeding.

Kyosuke Hojo didn't speak again, took out his mobile phone and opened Sakura's last report, and compared it, although he was not a professional, he also listened to the doctor's explanation last time, and he still remembered the key data.

"Well, it's still super healthy! I've been exercising! Sakura looked up with a little face full of pride, and his voice was very pleasant.

"Indeed, it's wonderful." Kyosuke Hojo bent down and hugged the girl with bright yellow eyes shining in the light, and then took a deep breath. Well, it's still a fresh dewy aroma, and even the feeling of fear in the morning is gone.

"Haha, okay, okay, I'm almost out of breath Kyosuke." Feeling the strength of those arms, Sakura's eyes were filled with deep affection.

Kyosuke Hojo let go of his hand and looked at the report of Glass and Naoka.

Sakura sat back on the couch, leaned on the armrest on the other side, lifted her legs up, and began to harass someone with her feet.

As a childhood sweetheart, Kyosuke knows her 100% well, why isn't she? Isn't it easy to hide such a self from him?

Thinking of Kyosuke taking a deep breath on her head just now, Sakura's conscience burst into amusement. A long time ago, she discovered that Kyosuke seemed to have a special ability, and seemed to be able to smell special smells from others, even if the surface was well disguised, she would be found to have a small emotion in her heart.

She was a little depressed because she was reprimanded by the teacher at school before, but she felt that it was too embarrassing, so she didn't complain to Kyosuke on the date, but he still asked himself if he was unhappy after hugging like he had just done.

And in the morning, he was so well disguised, but he could still see that he was afraid!

If this is really a special feature, it is too useless and too interesting.

But now, does Kyosuke still want to smell fear from himself? How can it be! When I was in the hospital, my legs were weak with fear, but when I stayed by Kyosuke's side, I felt only a lot of peace of mind.

"It's great, it's all healthy!" Kyosuke Hojo closed the report.

"Well, Kyosuke-kun also needs to hurry up and go for his own physical examination." Glass reminded.

"Me? I don't need to. ”

There's the reward that Sanye gave him.,Even if he got a disease that was about to die last year.,As long as you "go back to the beginning",,It's all gone without a trace.。

"No way!" The three girls shouted in unison.

"Okay, let's find some time to do it after that. Now let's go to the barbecue together. Someone immediately compromised.

"Yay!" Sakura stood up instantly.

The lights in the courtyard have been turned on, and the professionally designed lights are distributed in all corners to ensure that there is no situation where one person will cover the left and right lights.

Wooden folding tables and chairs were lined with pickled meat, and vegetables were cut and threaded with iron skewers.

The barbecue is in charge of Glass and Kyosuke Hojo, Naoka is in charge of transporting, and Sakura is in charge of eating.

"Huh? Kyosuke, let's eat this zucchini again! After the food on the table was almost wiped out, Sakura ran to the kitchen and picked up a vegetable wrapped in plastic wrap and shouted.

"Can you still eat?" Kyosuke Hojo eats the leftovers in the garden.

"I can still eat a little more if I work hard!" Sakura said loudly: "Because this young lady in the photo looks so cute." ”

Hearing this, Glass and Naoka instantly burst out laughing, and someone had a black line. He goes to high-end supermarkets to buy vegetables, and the vegetable growers will put their photos and some information on the packaging, which is "food that can see the face".

Kyosuke Hojo himself thinks it's a little scary, but Sakura is a guy who enjoys it, and every time he buys vegetables, he buys it that is pleasing to the eye.

Go inside, wash the vegetables, cut them into cubes, and continue baking.

After eating the barbecue, I didn't go out for a walk because it was too late, but each person held a box of yogurt. So I encountered movie time every night, even if I didn't have the habit of watching movies, I had to admit that it was so pleasant for everyone to watch movies together.

“…… Oh, is that so? Then I'll go back tomorrow. No, no, Kyosuke will send me back. Mmmm, see you tomorrow, good night mom~"

Sakura hung up the phone and walked back to the living room from the Japanese room. Looking at Kyosuke Hojo's inquiring eyes, she smiled and said:

"My grandparents in Kyoto missed me and asked my mother to take me back to live for a while, after all, I would have less time to go back to high school after that."

"So, do you need to bring luggage?" Kyosuke Hojo nodded, lifted the blanket covering his feet up, and motioned for Sakura to come back and sit down beside him.

"No, no, I have them all in my hometown, and I go back every year."

Sakura grinned and sat down to the right of Kyosuke Hojo, squeezing him hard.

"Yes, then you just need to ride a motorcycle, right?"

"Mm-hmm, hurry up and press start." Sakura shouted impatiently.

The glass and Naoka next to him didn't ask more after hearing the conversation between the two, because this is indeed the tradition of the Sakura family, and they basically return to Kyoto to accompany the elderly every year on vacation, which is simply touching the neon people. There is not much reluctance in my heart, and I will see each other again in less than a month.

In the end, I only watched one movie tonight, and although Sakura said that she didn't need to pack her luggage, she still had to take some of her belongings with her, and Glass and Naoka also went to help her tidy up.

Following

"Have a safe journey." Glass smiled and shook his hand at the two people on the motorcycle, at this time, he couldn't say that he would come back early, otherwise he would be very sorry for Grandpa Yamauchi.

"I'll take care of your share of housework." Naohana also sent a farewell message.

"Haha, I'll bring you a gift back. Of course, there is only one oil-paper umbrella made by Sakura-sama! ”

Sakura said happily, carrying the blue schoolbag as she did yesterday, but it got fatter, and she stuffed all the little things into it.

Listening to Sakura's pleasant words, Kyosuke Hojo started the motorcycle.

Forgive him for always using the word pleasant on Sakura, but Sakura's life seems to form a hyperbola with "unpleasantness" and will never be intertwined. The same path is, boring in the eyes of others, unpleasant in the slope, but full of fun in her eyes.

The irregular arrangement of bricks on the ground has become an abyss in her eyes that if you make a mistake, you will fall; The moss in the corner of the wall had absorbed the rain and turned green, and in her eyes it was as if a white rhinoceros in armor was about to rush out at any moment; Even the concrete walls, which were so dusty and smooth that there was nothing, she waited for a ghost to appear.

She talks happily, walks happily, watches movies happily, and eats happily...... He's a complete happy fool.

First Otowa Avenue, then Capital Expressway Line 5, high-speed city center ring line, less than an hour to the city of Watergate. In fact, it is quite convenient to take the tram, but you still need to transfer trains, and you need to take the bus again after arriving in Pratunam City.

Kyosuke Hojo first parked the car in his yard, and then walked over with Sakura, and before he could open the courtyard door, the latter shouted "I'm back".

Maki Yamauchi soon appeared at the door.

"It's really hard for you to trouble Kyosuke-kun to send her back."

"No, no, I just happened to go home and get something." Kyosuke Hojo said casually.

"Mom~~ On a warm morning in the spring breeze, I can take the super beautiful girl Sakura-sama for a ride, it's Kyosuke, he should thank me~" Yamauchi Sakura stepped forward and hugged his mother's arm skillfully coquettish.

"Yes, thank you Sakura-sama."

"Hehehe, come in quickly." Looking at the two of them, the smile on Maki Yamauchi's face became brighter and brighter.

"Excuse me."

"Uncle Yamauchi, good morning."

"Good morning, Kyosuke, how about coming to Kyoto with us for a few days this time? It's like a junior high school graduation trip. Grandparents, they've wanted to see you for a long time. ”

Yamauchi Sakura's father, Yamauchi Masashi, walked over and patted Hojo Kyosuke on the shoulder vigorously.

"This ......" someone's heart was instantly moved.

"Dad, Kyosuke has a lot of things to do in Tokyo." Sakura poured tea for the two.

"Yes, thank you for your kindness."

"It's okay, there are many opportunities in the future."

Sitting in the living room, Kyosuke Hojo chatted casually with Sakura's family, talking about the measures around the new house, talking about expectations for high school, and talking about interesting stories about the two when they were children, and time passed quietly.

Just when he was thinking about whether to send a message to tell his family that he would not go back to dinner, Sakura said:

"Kyosuke, do you want to come with us to Kyoto for lunch?"

This sentence is written in Kyoto dialect, and the ending is dragged with a cute tail note that is not available in standard language.

"Oh, that's it." Someone suddenly realized.

"Sakura is really, how can you not let Kyosuke-kun eat before leaving." Maki Yamauchi said with disgust.

"But there are other people waiting for him in someone's house~~" Sakura smirked.

"Hehe......" Kyosuke Hojo laughed dryly, although Aunt Yamauchi knew about the fact that several people lived together, but it was said at this time, and it was really not good.

"Is that so, then Kyosuke-kun, you go back a little slower."

Maki Yamauchi stood up, picked up a bag of snacks that had been prepared a long time ago, and handed it over. But when she reached the door, she stopped, leaving room for the two of them.

"I'll see you in a lot of days, oh Kyosuke~~"

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Sakura slowly helped Kyosuke Hojo zip up his coat:

"Be careful not to think about running to Tokyo in the middle of the night, but you can't help it!"

The voice is full of pleasure, and the content of the words is still so unreliable and embarrassing.

"What kind of longing is that?"

"Hmm~~~" Sakura Yamauchi tilted his head and thought carefully, just as Kyosuke Hojo would respond seriously to her every word, she would also give a reasonable explanation for her every word:

"It's like a cream cake!"

"Cream cake?"

"Hmm!"

The girl put her little hands behind her back, lifted her left foot on tiptoe, her brown hair had a transparent texture in the sun, and her white face full of smiles was actually a little serious:

"I just wanted to eat it when I thought about it, but when I thought about it carefully, I found that I didn't think so, and I was in a super craze between wanting and not wanting to."

"I can't do that, so you'd better come back quickly. Just hearing you shout 'Welcome home' once was addicted and I couldn't live out of it anymore. ”

Kyosuke Hojo first rubbed Sakura's little head, and then found that this level was not enough to relieve the sorrow of parting, so he hugged the girl tightly in his arms. Although she knew that she would come home in a few days, she didn't want to be separated even for a day.

"Hahaha, I don't believe it, aren't there still glasses and straight flowers?" Despite saying this, Sakura still stood on her tiptoes and responded vigorously.

"Okay, okay, I'll bring you a unique gift this time!" After letting go of her hand, the girl said cheerfully.

"Well, I'll wait at home for you to come back." Kyosuke Hojo walked out of the courtyard gate.

"Well, I'll be home soon~~"

Sakura stood at the gate of the courtyard as usual, watching the black figure disappear at the end of the street.

"Why did you suddenly think that you were going to Kyoto to spend time with your grandparents?"

Seeing her daughter back in the house, Maki Yamauchi asked. My daughter suddenly called back last night and said that she was going back to her hometown in Kyoto, and she was supposed to go back during the first vacation of her freshman year of high school according to the plan.

"I'm not going back to Kyoto, but I have something to tell you."

Sakura walked to the living room, sat down on the sofa, took out the bag next to her, and pulled out a file bag.

"Actually, I had pancreatic cancer."

"Sakura, this kind of thing can't be joked about." Maki Yamauchi said with a smile.

"No, it's true, I deliberately made a serious face!" Sakura took out the physical examination report and handed it over, explaining the data for her mother and father who had just come over.

"Why is this happening? Why ......"

Looking at the report card printed with the Neon Medical University Health Examination Medical Center, the smile on Yamauchi's face disappeared, and the light in his eyes dimmed, but this expression only lasted for less than a second, and then a loud cry erupted.

"Pancreatic Cancer ......"

Masayuki Yamauchi pinched the report, his finger bones so hard that they seemed to protrude. He exhaled slowly, then gritted his teeth, his face pale. The eyes of the past are full of disbelief, he is a traditional neon man who will maintain his dignity as a father at all times.

"Mom, Dad, don't do that. It was detected very early, the disease was still early, and the surgery was easy to succeed. ”

Finally seeing the scene that he didn't want to see the most, Yamauchi Sakura sighed in his conscience, and then said with a smile.

They look like they're going to attend their own funeral in the next second, just like the family of Grandma Watanabe that they saw when they were children. Although she was an old woman she didn't know at all, just seeing the expressions of her family, little Sakura felt endless sadness.

So death itself is not terrible, but what is terrible is the meaning behind it. Just like now, although she has been mentally prepared for a long time, the girl is still inevitably frightened when she sees her family.

If everyone around you is like this, they will show a sad expression from time to time, carefully avoid talking about it, and protect themselves according to the doctor's instructions everywhere in life, isn't it the same as reminding yourself to "be careful, you are a dying person"?

"Didn't you tell Kyosuke-kun about this?" Maki Yamauchi recalled the Hojo Kyosuke he had just seen, and if the other party knew about it, the expression on his face would definitely not be so relaxed.

"Uh-huh, of course not!"

"If I told Kyosuke about this, he would probably cry like his mother, and if that happened, it would be the end of the world for me."

"No matter how this kid talks like that, he's about to become a Tokyoite." Hearing that her daughter was still in the mood to say such funny things, Maki Yamauchi, who was crying, raised her head and said angrily.

"Hee-hee~~" Sakura smiled easily, yes, that's how it should be.

"I've decided to hide it from the people around me as much as possible, and it's for my own sake."

If everyone I loved became like a mother, and treated me like an animal that was dying, I would be put in a house surrounded by sponges, and I would have to use a hundred and fifty processes to make the air I breathe every day, and I would have to ask if there was anything strange about the color.

Even if Mom wouldn't be like that, that Kyosuke guy would definitely do this!

No, no, Kyosuke might hire a hundred caregivers to surround him, and then take him around the world every day to complete Rauschi's bucket list like in the TV series. When he fell asleep at night, he frantically studied medical knowledge under the lamp.

That's not good, she Yamauchi Sakura definitely doesn't want such a day, so I must hide it from Kyosuke, this is for myself.

If you fall and get injured, you have to tidy up your clothes well, so as not to worry about those who care about you, and that's what she longs for.

What I like most about Kyosuke is the peace of mind, as if no matter how much I mess around or make a mess of things, as long as I turn around and smile flatteringly, Kyosuke will help me clean up the mess and do everything right. For a restless person like me, this peace of mind fascinates me.

Ninety-nine percent of Yamauchi Sakura's daily life is made up of Kyosuke Hojo, and if even he changes, then Yamauchi Sakura's world will collapse.

So, Daba! This matter is absolutely forbidden for Kyosuke to know.

"Yes, if that kid knew......" Hearing that Kyosuke Hojo didn't know, Maki Yamauchi cried even louder. That child's love for Sakura will definitely not be less than theirs.

"Make an appointment today, and I'll go to Tokyo tomorrow for treatment and have surgery as soon as possible."

Yamauchi Masazhi finally couldn't hold back his crying, the hand that took out the mobile phone couldn't help but tremble, and he didn't turn on the mobile phone for a long time, so angry that he smashed the coffee table several times, shaking everything on the table.

"Well, I'll do it Dad." Sakura squatted down, picked up the quilt on the table, and then took his father's phone.

She is not afraid of surgery, although according to what she has learned online, it is painful, there is a possibility of death, and the prognosis is extremely poor, but she is really not afraid.

She knew it was to prolong her life.

And she had learned from the doctor that if she recovered well, she would be able to return to her usual activities before school started.

Find the phone number she wrote down in advance, that is, the headquarters of the testing center, the Affiliated Hospital of Neon Medical University, and dial it.

When he said the appointment, when he heard the operator ask for the patient's name, Sakura said calmly, "It's me, Sakura Yamauchi." ”

Hearing the stunned voice of the young lady over there, Sakura laughed happily as if she had succeeded in her prank.

Seeing that her mother and father seemed to be crying for a while, the girl, who was a happy person, couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, so she said to go and pack her luggage and went upstairs.

Back in the familiar room, Sakura didn't pack her bags as she said, and when she got to the hospital, there weren't so many things she needed to use, most of which would be provided by the hospital.

Sitting at the desk, she habitually took out the comics from the bookshelf next to her to read. This is also learned from Kyosuke, whether you watch TV or not, there must be something in front of you. But as soon as she stretched out her hand, she reacted, of course, such a precious thing as comics, of course, she had already taken it to her new home.

Taking out her mobile phone, the girl flipped through it casually, she didn't want to think about anything. Why do you have to think about it when you have nothing to do? Isn't that nothing to look for, doing a little mechanical thing, and emptying your brain to the fullest is the most correct.

The interface that suddenly appeared on the phone pulled the girl out of her thoughts about Kyosuke Hojo, which was the diary that Miss Miyasui Miyasui asked her to keep. Oh, I should call it Miss Jianhao now.

Looking at the documents neatly arranged by date, Sakura thought casually. Well,After that day,,It seems that Sanye hasn't exchanged with Kyosuke again.。 So the time spent in the gap between time is three years? Can I do the same when I die?

With my relationship with Kyosuke, I'm sure I'll be able to stay longer, right? If you can, it's Kyosuke who wants to swap bodies with me sixty years later, and he should have grown a white beard and white hair at that time, it must be interesting hahahaha.

Leaning down, he opened the cabinet next to the desk, and laboriously found a six-carat notebook from the deepest part.

I'm also going to write a diary like a shamrock, right?

Thinking so, she took out a black marker pen and wrote "Ruyiliao's Day" on the cover of the book.

That's the name she chose for herself and Kyosuke's home, and I'm sure Kyosuke and Glass will like it too. Anyway, I like it very much, hee-hee~~

Of course, this journal will not write anything related to the disease, in that case, it will definitely be discovered by Kyosuke as soon as possible. I want to write down all the happiness so that Kyosuke can't help but laugh out loud when he sees it!

Sakura leaned back on the back of her chair and looked at the ceiling.

She knew that it was unfair and cruel to him to hide this kind of thing from Kyosuke. But please forgive a young girl who has only a few years left to live. Maintaining that precious daily routine is her only private thought.

Tears slipped silently down the corners of her eyes.
