I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

"Hey? Have you heard about that?"

"The patient who has been hospitalized for the longest time in our hospital's history is about to be discharged? I heard that he knew he only had a few days to live and wanted to see the world a few more times."

"Not that."

"That is?"

"It's about the patient in the single ward on the third floor."

"Oh, that's it. It spread all over the place last night. Starting from Dr. Lu, who never joked, everyone was in a mess. How could I not know. However, it is really unbelievable that the patient actually woke up. Coming over."

"That one has the latest news."

"Say it quickly."

"Guess what was the first thing the patient did when he woke up from his coma? It was so scary that he even poked his own eyes."

"What? Is this true?"

"Well, although no one in the hospital was willing to mention this matter, I heard it from the nurse next to Dr. Lu, so there should be nothing wrong with it. It is said that the child used his hands when the doctor was not paying attention. Poke it hard from the eyelid, ouch."

"Wait a minute, that child has been sleeping for two years, hasn't he? Logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to move."

"It stands to reason. But isn't that child's family very rich? She asked us for special care as soon as she was admitted to the hospital, so her joints are not stiff. But although it is special care, after all, she is not moving. The joints were not flexible enough to move freely. Thanks to this, her eyes were saved in the end."

"...That's amazing. You must have learned in nursing school that although it is easier to stay in bed, your body will gradually weaken. If you sleep continuously for two years, you will almost lose your human functions. "

"So the doctor was also careless? By the way, what is it called? It's the symptom of bleeding in the whites of the eyes."

"Subconjunctival hemorrhage."

"Yes, that's it. Generally speaking, it can be cured naturally, but because it was a trauma that almost caused a green cataract, I still can't see anything in my eyes. It is said that the eyes are bandaged according to the patient's wishes. .”

"Hmm. So, the patient hasn't seen sunlight once since he woke up. ... From darkness to darkness. That's unusual."

"It's very unusual. Speaking of which, there are other problems. How should I put it? Aphasia? It feels like that. I can't speak well at all, so the doctor invited a speech therapist he knew. Our hospital , it seems there is no such person.”

"Yes, Dr. Araya resigned last month."

"But... in that case, the patient should have refused to visit, right?"

"It seems like that. Until his mental state calms down, it is said that even his parents have restricted their visits."

"Really? That would make that boy pitiful."

"Who? What boy?"

"Don't you know? The child who has been visiting every Saturday since the patient was admitted to the hospital. In fact, given his age, he shouldn't be called a boy. I really want him to take a look at that child."

"Ah, it's that boy. Yes, this is rare and sincere nowadays."

"Yes. In the past two years, only that child has been guarding the patient. So... the miracle that the patient can wake up is partly thanks to him... I have been doing this work for so many years and still saying this It's really strange to me."

In the corridor, the voices of the two nurses became weaker and weaker until they were no longer audible.

In the ward where two nurses passed by, a boy with dark blue curly hair shook his head thoughtfully.

"Shenji, Shinji." A thin voice called the boy's name.

The boy raised his head and looked at the girl on the hospital bed: "What's wrong, Kirie?"

"apple--"

"ah."

After being reminded by Kirie, Shinji realized that his hand had stopped. When the nurse passed by outside the ward, he happened to be helping Kirie peel an apple, and his attention was accidentally attracted by the content of the conversation.

"Sorry, I got distracted. I'll be fine soon."

Shinji's left hand holding the knife didn't move, and he held the apple with his right hand and quickly rotated it. After a while, the red peel fell off in a long line of even width, revealing the light yellow flesh inside.

After peeling, Shinji continued to wave the knife to cut the apple into small pieces of equal size, put it into the fruit plate, and handed it to Kirie.

"Okay, Miss, please use it."

Kirie looked at the fruit plate, then at Shinji, and opened her mouth.

"ah--"

"?" Shen Er was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

"Ah——" Wu Hui opened her mouth persistently, and there was a trace of expectation in her eyes that were dim in the past but now full of vitality.

"Oh." If Shenji doesn't understand anymore, he's a fool - he's trying to feed him.

Just feed him, it's not like he hasn't fed Sakura fruits before, although she feeds him more often.

With this thought, Shinji picked up a piece of fruit pulp with a knife and put it into Kirie's mouth.

"Well, it's delicious." It was just an ordinary apple, and a simple movement made Kirie smile happily.

This smile was so pure that Shenji was amazed and at the same time felt extremely worried.

This girl named Wujo Kirie has been alone for so long that she almost lost everything.

Sure enough, the decision to make a deal with Araya Soren was right. Compared with the smile in front of him, the price paid was really nothing.

"another one?"

"Huh?" Kirie nodded vigorously, "Ah——"

"That's right. Only by eating more can you get better quickly."

"Don't treat me like a child. I'm several years older than you."

"Yes, yes, sister Kirie, one more." Shenji was completely coaxing Kirie like a child.

"That's pretty much it." Wu Hui chewed the pulp contentedly.

He also said he was not a child.

Kirie's body did not recover after all. After chatting for more than an hour, she became unable to hold on anymore and curled up to sleep.

Shinji drew a word "Naudiz" on her forehead, which meant survival, and dropped "EIHWAZ" in the most hidden corner of the ward to protect Kirie's safety, and then quietly left the ward.

Outside the ward, an orange-haired woman wearing a classic Chanel suit was leaning against the exterior window, holding a cigarette but not lighting it.

Seeing Shen Er come out, he put the cigarette back into the cigarette case, half teasing, half asking: "Have you finished spending time with your new love?"

"What new love?" Shen Er twitched the corner of his mouth and rolled his eyes at Cheng Zi, "Ah, I'm done with you, so I came to see you, my old love. Come here, my old love, give me a smile for my young master."

"I don't have a smile, but I do have a cold face." As soon as Cheng Zi took off his glasses, his original refreshing and capable temperament instantly turned cold.

"A cold face is not bad, but since you refuse to smile, I can only give you a smile." Shenji said, using both hands to pull up the corners of his mouth, trying to pull it up.

At this moment, Chengzi's frosty face became a little unbearable, so he quickly put on his glasses and switched personalities.

"Laughing is uglier than crying. It turns out that old love is not as good as new love."

"So, Miss Old Love, in order to apologize to you, would you like to give me a chance to buy you a cup of coffee?"

"Just coffee. It's so insincere. Forget it, no one wants to leave old love alone. Just coffee."

"Hey, you're still addicted to playing."
