Internet and telephone communications have been temporarily disrupted on Chitori Island, and infrastructure has been halted in most areas.

Due to the flooding of the port, the flow of goods on the island was hindered, and all the goods in the department stores and supermarkets were swept away by the victims.

Even the sauerkraut cup noodle shelf, which is the least popular among the islanders on weekdays, is empty at this time.

Outside of Chitori Island, helicopters from NHK and various local TV stations fly over the island every day, and the situation is quite miserable, especially the almost extinct Nishijima, which is like purgatory on earth.

After breakfast today, another helicopter flew over the hospital.

It makes a "parapara" sound in annoyance, and it doesn't go, it doesn't fall.

Jiang Yuanshen even suspected that it was here to hinder the rest of the injured victims, so no one cared about it?

These days, in order to recuperate, I didn't get out of bed, and spent every day in a hospital bed.

He lived day and night, tossing and turning between wakefulness and light sleep.

Jiang Yuan cautiously glanced at Kurosawa Mercy, who was sitting on a chair by the window, and the sunlight crept into the room step by step, sifting through her small cherry face, outlining the rounded shape of her chest.

Silence hung between the two, and the wind blowing in was cool.

Because the signal is being repaired these days, the mobile phone has no signal.

In order to pass the time, Kurosawa brought a lot of books to read, and the categories were very varied, as well as fashion magazines.

Jiang Yuanshen thought that she would get bored after watching it for a while, but it turned out that it was a morning when she often looked at it, and she didn't even say a few words to him.

He could only stare at the gently swaying bangs in a daze, obscuring her vision.

But Jiang Yuanshen can feel cordiality and peace of mind in her.

"Kurosawa-san, don't you uh, do you like to change yarn?"

Jiang Yuanshen wanted to ask her when she would go back, but in the end, he held down the piston valve meaninglessly and asked a painless question instead.

Kurosawa's loving gaze silently moved from the page to him, obsidian eyes sparkling in the sunlight.

"Can you speak?"

"Of course you can speak."

"Then why didn't you talk to me earlier?"

“？？？”

Her gaze was extremely pure, and she frowned a little confusedly, without a hint of ridicule, which made Jiang Yuanshen not know how to answer.

Kurosawa dragged her cheeks a little boredly and said, "You said the change yarn in this book? ”

She shook the book from side to side, and she was the heroine of "The Wandering Moon".

"Hmm."

"I hate it to death, this person is like an idiot, too weak."

Kurosawa's loving eyes stared at the book, as if he felt unbearable, and closed it directly on the table,

"There's no need to change yourself in order to please anyone, even if there is no place to stay, then it's better to wander somewhere."

She drew her conclusion in a brisk tone.

Just when Jiang Yuan was about to say, "It's because of the living environment of Changesa", Kurosawa stood up and walked over and sat directly on the bed.

"The doctor said that your body is almost recuperated, and you will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

Her body was filled with a sweet fragrance and a noncommittal smile.

It would be nice if it was Shake Apricot like this, but she would be too strange.

"Thank you and Shake Apricot."

Jiang Yuan thanked him from the bottom of his heart, these two people have been with him from the time he was admitted to the hospital until now, and even Zichuan Xiaokong, who came to visit, felt that he was redundant.

At that moment, Kurosawa seemed to touch Jiang Yuanshen's hand with his fingers casually, and there was a feeling of ants biting.

He was startled, and suddenly he noticed Kurosawa's loving gaze, and in the bright light, he could see a faint flush on her white cheeks.

"Jiang Yuan, do you remember what I told you at the beginning?"

There was indeed an extraordinary sense of intimacy in her tone, and even her expression suddenly became relaxed and soft, which made Jiang Yuanshen's heart beat violently.

At the beginning, the two agreed that as long as Kurosawa helped Shizumi Fukatsuki, he would return to Tokyo to go to school.

But now she helped, but Jinghai Shenyue still didn't leave the island, and even fell into a situation that even Jiang Yuanshen himself couldn't understand.

Kurosawa's loving eyes were so deep that they seemed to be able to suck people into them, and the cherry blossom mouth opened and closed:

"Jinghai she lied to us, there is no need to stay in Zhitori Island, no one knows when the next earthquake will be, I even let Asakura go to Tokyo to study, I have done my duty"

Jiang Yuanshen lowered his eyes, lowered his eyes, and the table was wrapped with golden fruits, reflecting the brilliance of gems.

Kurosawa is a lonely person, and her stay until now is a great concession to her character.

But now, Jinghai Shenyue not only did not leave the island, but also did not even go back in time, and Zhitori Island is now covered with bruises and become an appearance that he doesn't know.

Jiang Yuanshen was silent, still confused, and his uneasiness gradually expanded.

Should I really leave Kurosawa?

The most important thing is that there is no one around Jinghai Shenyue who can understand her, is this really good? Is it really good to let her efforts so far go to waste?

He even wondered if it was really good to bring Kurosawa's love in a bad direction now, or even destroy her life?

Too much emotion made Jiang Yuanshen unable to calmly examine these issues, and it was like a black hole in his heart, distorting all his thoughts.

Seeing his expression, Kurosawa suddenly raised his eyebrows and spat out undeniable words:

"This is what you promised me, I hate people who don't keep their promises the most."

Her voice bounced between floor and ceiling with a sonorous voice, and every word she uttered sank into the dry air.

Cold sweat oozed from Jiang Yuanshen's palms and forehead, and the slender arms of the girl in front of him crossed her chest at some point, looking at him with a slight scrutiny.

"I did say that"

If he is as agreed, he will be able to return to Tokyo with Kurosawa Mercy tomorrow, and Asaka Shake Apricot will also be able to leave Chitori Island.

Kurosawa saw him admit it, his eyes sparkling like a spring touched by light.

The ends of her thin lips were slightly hooked, and she raised her little face and said with a smile:

"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow and discharge you, now there are too many government ships in the port, let's go back by helicopter, I'm afraid you've never been on a helicopter in your life, right?" When the time comes, it will open your eyes, you should not be afraid of heights? Don't throw up and embarrass me when the time comes. ”

"I'm afraid of heights, not really."

Jiang Yuan stared at the girl in front of him, and subconsciously spat on it, and a feeling of panic and uneasiness ran across his back.

Kurosawa's eyelashes fluttered up and down as she looked at him, the soft light outlining her outline, and the sweet scent of cherry blossom pink skin.

"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow morning."

"Wait a minute, Kurosawa-san" Jiang Yuanshen's throat gradually heated.

Kurosawa tilted his head in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?" You don't like helicopter rides? ”

"It's not."

Jiang Yuanshen's heart was like a multi-flowered tree in a vase, swaying in the wind.

He looked away as if evasively, as if looking for an excuse, and rubbed his thigh in pain, and continued,

"Why don't you go back first? If other people see us together, there will be rumors. ”

"There are rumors, and if I were so sensitive to every rumor, I wouldn't be here."

Kurosawa's loving little face was flushed, and the words he poured out were like bubbles from a marble soda, exploding in his throat, turning into sticky emotion and choking sweetness.

"But, but."

"I'm not afraid of a girl! What are you afraid of? ”

Kurosawa looked away a little dissatisfied, and even the gasp was sweet,

"If your mind is not as firm as mine, it would be good to pretend that you can't hear, pretend not to see, and pretend not to see! Who dares to say about you! ”

The sweet and crisp electricity seemed to swim in her body, Jiang Yuanshen's cheeks were hot as if they were on fire, and her words always made her heart beat wildly.

He pretended to be frustrated, but he just didn't want Kurosawa to discover his red face.

Her occasional maturity, as well as her stubborn expression, made her feel like she was in heat and difficult to contain her emotions.

"What are you doing blushing?"

As a result, Kurosawa still noticed Jiang Yuanshen's abnormality, and smiled a little slyly, it was a little devil-like smile full of superiority.

"No, I'm just a little hot." Jiang Yuan took a shallow breath.

However, she was content and muttered, "Oh, the 26°C of the central air conditioner is still too hot for you." ”

"Okay." He suddenly looked embarrassed, so he had to confess, "It's just that you sometimes make my heart beat." ”

Hearing his words, Kurosawa's originally smiling little face suddenly froze, his chest throbbed, his cheeks were also hot with shame, and his blushing skin contrasted sharply with the white walls.

She showed a rare restraint of a girl, raised her hand to stroke her long black hair, and the heat mixed with her breath made her blush and heartbeat.

"No, no way, Miss Ben is always charming"

"Indeed."

"Uh, will it?"

"Hmm"

Hearing his own admission, Kurosawa touched her red face with some embarrassment, and that appearance was very different from her previous atmosphere.

Both of them suddenly lowered their heads, creating an inexplicable atmosphere of youth and ambiguity.

"That." Kurosawa pursed her lips slightly, her hands pointed out the door, and her eyes stared at him with some moisture, "I'll go back and clean up first, and I'll come to you tomorrow." ”

Suddenly, Jiang Yuanshen's whole body suddenly felt a chill, his lips seemed to have bitten an ice cube, and he was kissing Fang Cai ambiguously.

It's over, all of a sudden, dragging him into an atmosphere that makes it hard to keep his senses.

However, Kurosawa couldn't wait to get up.

"Kurosawa."

Jiang Yuan looked at her back cautiously, her legs under her skirt were slender and fair.

"I'll let Asakura come and take care of you."

Kurosawa's slender white fingers gently pinched the bridge of his nose, and his eyes were as clear as crystal.

"It's not."

Jiang Yuanshen's voice was full of compromise and calmness,

"The situation is complicated right now, and I need to understand why Jinghai can't go out of the island and find out how to solve it."

Jiang Yuan tried his best to squeeze the sound out of his throat as much as he could.

So—

"Why don't you go back to Tokyo first?"

His words fell into his ears, and Kurosawa, who was at the door, stopped, turned to look at him with a small face, and looked at him with a stunned face.

It was obviously a short sentence, but it made her sense that something had changed decisively between her and Jiang Yuanshen.

But unlike the subtle small changes in the past, this time it is a huge change from 1 to 0, from there to nothing.

The two of them realized this and fell silent.

Finally, Kurosawa Mercy, who came to his senses, gasped, and held the door frame with one hand and said:

"What do you mean?"

Her ears were even redder, and outsiders thought it was shyness, but in fact, it was extremely angry.

Jiang Yuan carefully understood that if he continued like this, he would most likely be scolded by her.

"I promise I'll go back to Tokyo, but not now."

Listening to his explanation, the blood flowing in Kurosawa's body seemed to boil, flowing around along hundreds of millions of capillaries.

She seemed to be still giving Jiang Yuan a chance to redeem herself, pretending not to understand the situation very well, tilting her head and asking:

"If you don't feel well, we can be a few days later and there's no rush."

"It's not." Jiang Yuan looked at her cautiously, and the excessive amount of information and feelings flowed in, making him dizzy, "It may not be a matter of a day or two, it may be a few months, or even longer." ”

Kurosawa's face changed immediately, as if the flirtation between the two of them before was all illusory, and she finally felt so good.

"So you're lying to me?"

“.”

She didn't ask the reason, she only asked the answer, which made Jiang Yuanshen physically and mentally exhausted all of a sudden, and he didn't know how to answer.

Is it a scam? He didn't know that he had the idea of leaving when it was over.

But isn't it a lie? If it wasn't a lie, I would have accepted it calmly, but I didn't accept it.

After thinking about it, what was left for Jiang Yuanshen was a sad reality.

That's a lie.

"I said at the beginning, whether she is out of the island or not, I will already help." Kurosawa's breathing became more and more rapid, and he was still restraining his emotions and said, "And you promised me at the time, and now you say you can't do it." ”

“.”

The rice porridge he had drunk in the morning turned into an acidic paste in his stomach, which surged up from time to time and burned his throat.

Kurosawa's loving shoulders shook up and down with his chaotic breathing, and a look of loss and incomprehension came into his eyes.

"After the earthquake, my parents were worried about me and didn't allow me to stay here anymore, do you understand?"

Jiang Yuanshen's mouth was dry for a while.

"That's fine."

Hearing his words, Kurosawa immediately raised his eyebrows, and said very unhappily:

"Then Jiang Yuan, do you want to see me?"

As soon as he heard her words, Jiang Yuanshen's brain suddenly fell into chaos, as if a hole had been torn on the sofa, and the filling inside came out.

He blurted out impatiently:

"I didn't say that."

Kurosawa's loving eyes flickered with a misty light, and she rarely lost her temper, but turned around again.

"I don't want to understand the truth at all, because it has nothing to do with me."

"Don't take the helicopter anymore, you pack your things yourself, I'll be waiting for you at Mano Bay at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, whether you come or not, I'll go back-"

After she finished speaking, she walked out of the ward, and it just so happened that she was walking towards the air shaking apricot with the newly bought fruit, and the two almost collided.

Asaka Shake Apricot hurriedly took out the washed apple from the bag and said, "Kurosawa-san, this is for you"

However, Kurosawa's loving little face was full of anger, and he raised his hand to knock it off mercilessly.

"Get out of the ——!"

"Ugh!."

Shaking Apricot in the air panicked to chase the falling apple, Kurosawa's loving pace subconsciously stopped, but soon she pursed her mouth and walked straight out of the hospital.
