At night, Ann and Reina Serizawa walked out of Serizawa's bedroom refreshed.

The door was ajar, and you could vaguely see the figure of the girl in the room who was half-exposed and her shoulders were paralyzed on the bed.

There was a "popping" sound under his feet, and when he looked down, he saw a pool of liquid shimmering under the illumination of the light.

"So much?"

An He was a little stunned, looked around, and didn't see Serizawa Yui's figure, but there was a soft hum that seemed to be deliberately suppressing his throat from the bathroom with the lights on.

Obviously, in the time just now, it was not only him and Rena Serizawa who were happy.

With a chuckle, An He didn't bother the other party, and simply ate something in the kitchen to replenish his strength, and then left Serizawa's house lightly.

When he went out, the cold wind in the corridor suddenly swept away all his original sleepiness.

After a shudder, An He took out his phone from his pocket and looked at the time.

Eleven twenty p.m.

Because he decided to visit Tachibana in the hospital, he didn't plan to go home tonight.

Calculating the time, it will take about half an hour to get from here to the other party's hospital, and if you leave immediately, it is estimated that you can arrive before twelve o'clock.

"I just don't know if Tachibana really slept at such a late hour."

Muttering in his heart, An He went downstairs, successfully found his black and green locomotive, and rode directly on.

Although Tokyo is still bustling at night, fortunately, there are not too many cars on the road, and it took less than 20 minutes for Yasuwa to arrive at the destination according to the address given by Amamiya Saki.

Metropolitan University Medical Faculty Hospital.

The affiliated hospital of Togofu University, invested and built by Amamiya Group, is not as good as those well-known hospitals, but it is better than its own hospital, and its security and privacy are greatly guaranteed.

After finishing the car, An He first came to the nurse's desk in the hospital hall.

With Amamiya Saki's advance instructions, the beautiful nurse in a pink nurse's uniform at the front desk was very enthusiastic to lead her to a ward on the fourth floor after learning of his intention.

"It's Ms. Tachibana, her current condition is not optimistic, and she is a little negative emotionally, but if she is actively treated, there is still a chance to prolong her survival time."

The beautiful nurse said, bowed slightly to An He, and continued:

"I'll leave it to Mr. Anhe, and if you need help, you can let me know at any time."

"Thank you."

An He nodded lightly and watched the nurse leave before pushing open the door of the ward.

As soon as he entered the room, all kinds of strong drug smells poured into his nasal cavity, which made An He, who smelled it for the first time, a little uncomfortable, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"It smells bad, doesn't it?"

A weak and dull female voice rang out.

An He followed the sound and saw that on the hospital bed in the center of the room, Tachibana Zhenyi, who was wearing a breathing mask and had an infusion tube in his hand, was looking over his head.

At this moment, she is no longer as glamorous as she was a few months ago, not only is her face pale and her lips are chapped, but even her seductive peach blossom eyes have lost their former brilliance and become dull.

Seeing Anhe's eyes, she chuckled, turned her head, and continued to stare at the ceiling, muttering to herself.

"I must be ugly now, right?"

"It's okay, it's a little more miserable beauty."

An He said, came to the side of the bed, pulled a chair and sat down, picked up the apple on the bedside table and was about to put it in his mouth, but suddenly thought of something, handed it to Tachibana Zhenyi, and asked:

"Do you want to eat?"

Hearing this, Tachibana Zhenyi only glanced at him and did not answer.

An He didn't care about this, shrugged his shoulders and withdrew the apple, opened his mouth and bit down.

The room fell silent for a moment, except for the crisp "click" of apples chewing in Ann's mouth.

After a while, the apple was finished.

Throwing away the pit, Anwa was about to get the second apple when Tachibana's voice sounded again.

"If you're just here to eat fruit, you can buy a pile and keep it at home."

"How can I buy someone else's incense?"

Ann and Hehe smiled and reached out to pick up the apple, but this time they didn't immediately put it in their mouths, but picked up the fruit knife on the table again and began to peel it.

His hand was steady, and the fruit knife was like a precise instrument in his hand, and in a few moments, a whole apple peel was peeled off.

"Try it, I've never skinned anyone in my life."

As he spoke, An He handed the peeled apple to Tachibana Zhenyi's mouth, and the apple peel was thrown into his mouth by him.

Glancing at the apple handed to his mouth, Tachibana Zhenyi turned his head, sighed helplessly and said quietly:

"Do you think I can eat it myself now?"

"Huh?"

An He was stunned, and then he realized that Tang Zhenyi was still wearing a respiratory mask, and hurriedly slapped his forehead.

"Look at me, stupid, don't you?"

As he spoke, An He leaned over and planned to help Tachibana Zhenyi take off the mask, but his hand had not touched the other party but he froze in the air, a little uncertain:

"By the way, can you take off this mask?"

Hearing this, Tachibana Zhenyi turned his head and looked directly into An He's eyes with a little pleading gaze.

"Take it off, it's uncomfortable to wear, I won't live long anyway, it's better to let me breathe fresh air again."

"This ......"

An He was entangled for a while.

Reason told him that doing so would only speed up the passage of the other party's life, but for the eyes full of antiquation of Kamichia Zhenyi, An He couldn't say no.

Just as he was hesitating, the narration in his mind suddenly sounded.

[Life will eventually pass, rather than spending it in the end, it is better to bloom the last fireworks. 】

……

With a "drip" sound, An He finally took off the breathing mask on Tachibana Zhenyi's face.

The mask that bound his face disappeared, and a little brilliance flashed in the eyes of Tachibana Zhenyi, who was originally dim, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"Thank you."

She whispered, still weak, but a little more agile than before.

Looking at the other party's transformation, the corners of An He's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Perhaps, as the narrator says, it is better to let out the last fireworks before they can move.

Thinking of this, An He suddenly proposed:

"Want to go out for a walk?"

Hearing this, Tachibana Zhenyi instantly turned his head.

She didn't speak, but her expectant gaze was already indicative of her answer.

……

Night.

A locomotive carrying two people galloped down an unmanned road.

Spread his hands and felt the wind pass through his fingertips, even though his voice was still very weak, Tachibana Zhenyi couldn't help but cheer.

"Why didn't I feel so cool on the streets of Tokyo at night?"

"That's because you haven't calmed down to enjoy the night before.

An He replied casually and hurriedly reminded:

"Hold on, I don't want to go to jail tomorrow because the person I brought fell to his death."

"Just you can talk~"

Tachibana Zhenyi glanced at him, but he obediently withdrew his hand, obediently hugged him from behind, and pillowed his head on his back.

The locomotive continued to drive through the bustling streets, and after a while stopped in front of a café.

After getting out of the car, An He took off his coat and put it on Tachibana Zhenyi, who did not refuse, but just looked at the signboard of the café and said with nostalgia:

"It's been closed for so long."

"It's been more than two months."

An He echoed, and helped Tachibana Zhenyi to come to the door and ask softly.

"Would you like to go in and sit down?"

"You have the key?"

Tachibana Zhenyi's face was full of surprise.

Hearing this, An He just smiled mysteriously, then took out the key from his pocket and inserted it into the lock hole, explaining while twisting it.

"I've been back once before, and I left a spare key by the way."

The words fell, and with his movements, the door opened.

Looking at the familiar layout in the dim hall and smelling the stale smell in the air, Tachibana couldn't help but chuckle.

"You're committing a crime."

"Are you still in?"

An He raised his hand and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Tachibana Zhenyi raised his eyebrows and didn't reply, just put his hand on An He's arm.

The meaning is self-explanatory.

Walking into the café, An He first found a chair for Tachibana to sit down, and then found the main electric switch of the café by the faint light of the mobile phone screen.

With a "click", the electric switch was closed, and the originally dark café suddenly lit up.

Back in the living room, Tachibana Zhenyi still sat honestly on the chair in front of him, looking at the piano in the center of the hall with blazing eyes.

At this moment, she is wearing a hospital gown, her long hair, which is often coiled behind her head, is also draped over her shoulders, and the delicate makeup on her face has disappeared, losing the dignity and nobility of An He when she first saw her, and some are just as pure and elegant as the little girl next door.

As if sensing his gaze, Tachibana Zhenyi suddenly turned his head.

"What's wrong? Keep looking at me. ”

"No, I'm just curious why you're here."

An He told the truth, hearing this, Tachibana Zhenyi pursed his lips, moved his gaze to the piano again, and after a long time, he explained to himself:

"You know what? Actually, my dream was to become a pianist, but due to my mother's career, this dream was not realized until I became an adult. ”

"Later, I had the rights, but when I wanted to regain this dream, I was bound by the rights."

"There are countless people waiting for me to take them to eat, and if I stop, they will starve to death, so I have to do my duty as a power holder."

"Actually, sometimes, I'm quite envious of the girl in the Amamiya family, obviously her parents died, and the company has a lot of messes waiting for her to clean up, but because she has a sister, she doesn't have to worry about anything, and she can spend a happy day every carefree eating and drinking."

"And now, without the duties attached to the right, I can finally eat, drink and have fun as carefree as Saori Amamiya, but I have this strange illness and I don't have long to live."

Speaking of this, Tachibana Zhenyi lowered her head, looked at her calloused hands and shook her head with a wry smile.

"Maybe this is retribution, after all, there are so many people who died at my hands."

After the words fell, Tachibana Zhenyi took a deep breath, then raised his head, his face was no longer as depressed as before, but looked at An He Zhanyan and smiled, and said softly:

"Can An Hejun play another song, when I first met you, did you play that song?"

"Of course."

An He nodded and walked slowly to the piano in the center of the hall.

When he lifted the cloth, the dust flew up, but as if he hadn't seen it, he reached out and brushed it over the black and white keys.

Tachibana straightened up unconsciously, closed her eyes and listened carefully.

The sound of the piano sounded crisp and pleasant.

In a trance, Tachibana Zhenyi felt as if he was fifteen or sixteen years old again.

At this time, she was still in junior high school, and she woke up from the bed in the morning, rubbed her stomach and came to the living room.

After eating the fragrant breakfast made by his mother, he immediately changed into his school uniform and went out.

The breeze blows, blowing the wind chimes on the windowsill to make a pleasant tinkling sound.

Not far away were classmates waving to her with smiles on their faces.

Everything is so beautiful.

However, there will be a moment when fantasy will come to an end.

When the last note falls, Tachibana returns from fantasy to reality again.

When he opened his eyes and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar layout in the café and the young man sitting in front of the piano not far away, Tachibana couldn't help but smile with relief.

"Thank you, I love this song."

An He didn't answer, but stood up, slowly walked to Tachibana Zhenyi, stretched out his hand, and saw the latter's puzzled expression before chuckling and explaining:

"Didn't you dream of becoming a pianist? I teach you. ”

This sudden invitation made Tachibana Zhenyi stunned for a while, looking at the hand that stopped in front of her, and it wasn't until a long time that she reacted, shook her head slightly, and smiled helplessly:

"No, I don't know how to play the piano."

"That's why we need to teach."

An He said as a matter of course, but without waiting for Tachibana Zhenyi to answer, he pulled him up and walked quickly to the piano.

"You sit on my lap, I hold your hand, hand in hand."

As he spoke, An He pressed Tachibana Zhenyi to his lap.

At first, Tachibana resisted a little, but as Anhe took her hand and pressed the first key, she stopped struggling.

"What a bastard, I finally know why those girls like you."

muttered in his heart, the corners of Tachibana Zhenyi's mouth showed a curvature, and he simply closed his eyes and quietly cooperated with the rhythm of peace.

Time passed, and the sound of the piano reverberated through the empty café, from the initial stumbling to the smooth running at the back.

Obviously, Tachibana Zhenyi has a very good talent in the piano, so much so that even if An He lets go of his hand later, the sound of the piano continues.

Half ringing.

Twist down.

The café fell back into silence.

An He could clearly feel the breathing of the beautiful woman in her arms becoming short, and it was obvious that the piano song just now had drained her a lot of energy.

"Take a break."

An He tried to remind, but hearing his words, Tachibana Zhenyi turned his head sharply, and said with excitement on his face:

"Shall we do it again?"

Hearing this, An He shook his head, broke the other party's face back, put his hand on his shoulder again, and chuckled lightly while kneading:

"The night is still very long, even if it is a night to teach you, there is no need to rush it."

As for his action, Tachibana Zhenyi did not refuse, on the contrary, the whole person leaned on An He's arms, tilted his head, closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth gradually fell, as if talking to himself:

"I'm just worried that I won't have a chance to play it again"
