Chitose was born with Tetralogy of Fallot, and is naturally weak and sickly and cannot run.
She was abandoned by her parents shortly after she was born. When she was seven years old, she was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Yang Kui, who ran a hot spring shop in the town. With the financial support of Mr. and Mrs. Yang Kui, her long-standing heart disease was cured when she was eight years old.
Yang Kui and his wife were both over 60 years old. In the year when Qiansui was receiving treatment, their son slipped and fell off a cliff while climbing a mountain and died early in the heavy snow.
Qiansui is now the couple's only child, and they treat him as their own.
In the past few years, she has been actively contacting me and chatting with me often.
The relationship between the two is like that of brother and sister.
But she never showed up in the past four years, saying that she would give him a big surprise when he returned home next time.
Now it seems like a surprise.
"Even if you are cured, don't run away so fast. What if it relapses?"
"What are you talking about, Brother Shu? It's okay. I've recovered a long time ago. Now I can run every day without any problems!"
In the past, Qiansui could not run as fast as other children in the orphanage because of a heart disease. She also tended to be withdrawn and weak in character. Now that she has recovered from her illness, she has become much more sunny.
"Then put on your clothes first."
"What does Brother Tree mean?"
Fujii Itsuki pointed at her thin T-shirt from the hot spring shop, and then at the blue jacket tied around her waist, "What should I do if I catch a cold?"
Chitose Yangkui smiled, unbuttoned her clothes, put them on, and pulled the zipper to the top.
"Pull it down a bit. Isn't it uncomfortable with the zipper against your chin?"
"Listen to Brother Shu."
The two then walked towards the welfare home building together.
"Who told you I was back?"
"Dean Hanashiro! And the dean also said that you met Jiuhua-san at the station."
"Jiuhua-san?" Fujii Itsuki realized it later and looked at the red hair tie on the right side of the girl's short hair. "Jiuhua Yue?"
"Oh, yes."
"You know her?"
"Well, I don't know her very well, but she is from the class next door. She transferred here three months ago, in September."
"I see. What is she like in school?"
Yang Kui Chitose, who was originally very enthusiastic, suddenly became quiet for two seconds, and then looked at Fujii Itsuki, speaking a little slower, "What did Brother Shu ask her to do?"
"Just curious."
"Does Brother Shu care about her a lot? I heard from the dean that you also asked her a lot about Jiuhua classmate."
"That's not the case," Fujii Itsuki looked ahead, "It's just that I ran into her yesterday and today, so it's a bit of fate. I'm just curious about her situation."
"Hmm," Yang Kui Chitose lowered her head and thought for a moment, "As for Jiuhua-san, he is usually a rather withdrawn person."
"Solitary?"
"Yes," Yang Kui Chitose nodded, "Because she is a transfer student who suddenly transferred here."
"She's so pretty, she shouldn't be unpopular just because of this, right?"
When Yang Kui Chitose heard Fujii Itsuki say the word "beautiful", she looked at him for a moment longer, then lowered her head and spoke inexplicably in a much lower voice, "Of course there's more to it than that. I didn't know it originally, but after hearing a lot from my classmates, I went back and asked my father and found out that the Kuka family used to be very famous throughout Hokkaido."
Fujii Itsuki noticed something and glanced at the girl beside him, "Do you have a conflict with her?"
"No, no," Yang Kui Chitose shook her head and laughed, "It's just that I always hear her name from boys, and I think she's more popular than me, so I mind a little bit!"
It turned out to be the case.
It is true that adolescent girls will have some comparisons with others, which is a very normal psychology.
"I think you are no worse than her, Chitose. If you dress up a little, you will be more beautiful than her."
".real?"
What's going on with these shining eyes?
"Why do you say 'really' so many times today? Of course it's true. I'm telling the truth."
The girl who was praised was really happy from the bottom of her heart, and her face visibly turned a little red.
The girl is so cute.
Fujii Itsuki put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice. "If you say so, then isn't she very popular?"
"Brother Shu, being popular and being aloof are not the same thing," Yang Kui Chitose deliberately tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing her fair face. "Boys secretly praise her for her beauty, but they don't dare to approach her. And she doesn't seem to like contact from boys."
"Um"
"Girls in school have their own circles. Once boys pay too much attention to a girl, all the girls in the circle will consciously or unconsciously avoid her. In addition, Jiuhua is a transfer student and doesn't have many friends."
That's it.
Fujii Itsuki was very familiar with this. The group of kids in Tokyo were very good at it and they were very united. He couldn't even catch the leader.
It’s really hard to be a teacher.
"But don't get me wrong, Brother Shu. The word eccentric isn't entirely derogatory. Jiuhua's family is well-known, and Jiuhua isn't the type to be bullied at school. No one dares to bully her. It's just that everyone is a little afraid to approach her."
So that’s how it is. It’s a unique position, right?
Compared to "eccentric", the word "aloof" is more suitable for Jiuhuayue.
He comes from a wealthy family, has caring parents, has a special status in school, and has a very tough personality.
I can't understand why she would want to commit suicide?
Chapter 7: Star Wish Welfare Home
While chatting along the way, Fujii Itsuki got a lot of information from Chitose.
Chitose was almost annoyed by the questions, so she pouted and asked questions like "I just met Brother Shu, why are you still talking about Jiuhua-san?"
Fujii Itsuki had no choice but to apologize to her with a smile, and chatted with her about her daily life in the past few years and her work experience in Tokyo.
Soon, lunch time was approaching.
Fujii Itsuki and Aunt Keiko, the only caregiver in the entire welfare home, prepared lunch for the children.
Aunt Keiko is also an old acquaintance. When she saw Fujii Itsuki coming back, she started chatting with him enthusiastically.
Aunt Keiko is a typical Otaru local. She has never left Hokkaido in her life, and the farthest place she has been to is Sapporo next door.
Her curiosity was the same as those of the children who gathered around Fujii Itsuki when they saw her. They all asked questions like "How is Tokyo?" and "Is Tokyo beautiful?"
Of course, the children asked in a more naive way.
For example, "Is there endless delicious food everywhere in Tokyo?", "Is there candy and cotton candy everywhere in Tokyo?", "Are there many handsome men and beautiful women in Tokyo?".
“Yes, Tokyo has beautiful scenery.”
“Yes, Tokyo has so many beautiful buildings.”
“Yes, there is so much delicious food in Tokyo.”
Faced with the children's curiosity, Fujii Itsuki answered them one by one while eating with them.
Sometimes the children’s enthusiasm was too great, and Fujii Itsuki was squeezed so tightly by them that he couldn’t find his way around. He could only be drowned out by the cries of “Fujii brother is so awesome! I want to go to Tokyo too in the future!”
Chitose Yang Kui watched with a smile on her face.
Fujii Itsuki could see the longing and beautiful yearning of these children without family for the international metropolis of Tokyo, and could see their admiration and envy for himself.
They all took themselves as their role models, saying things like "I want to be like Brother Fujii in the future."
This made Fujii Itsuki happy from the bottom of his heart, but his mood was as gloomy as the wind and snow at night.
Faced with these children who asked him questions with great expectations, he, a guy who hated Tokyo so much that he escaped back, could only repeat the beauty of Tokyo over and over again and maintain their dreams with lies.
It's really ridiculous.
"Brother Shu is still so popular."
"No, it's just that the dean often mentions me in front of everyone. Chitose, you are the popular one. Didn't you notice that there are the most children in your row? When you were serving food to them, there were a few little boys secretly watching you in the corner. I also saw them playing finger-guessing games to see who would be qualified to marry Chitose."
"They are all children." Yang Kui Qiansui's face turned slightly red. She pushed her hair behind her ears, and the hanging red rope tied to the side swayed gently.
Chitose's blushing face is indeed cute.
Fujii Itsuki instantly realized that the little girl was already sixteen years old.
"Is Chitose popular in school?"
"It's still okay."
"Tell my brother secretly, have you ever had a boyfriend at school?"
"No, no, I don't have this!"
Yang Kui Qiansui's head immediately shook like a rattle, stretched out her hand to her chest, and said anxiously, "My father doesn't allow me to have a relationship at this time. He said that boys of this age are unreliable. It's best to find a boyfriend after graduating from high school and getting a job. Only boys in their twenties who have jobs and are mature and stable are trustworthy."
"Mr. Nagano is right, but it's okay to tell me."
"It's true!"
"You've never met anyone you like?"
".Not really." Yang Kui Chitose glanced at him secretly and turned her eyes away.
"Then why don't you go up and give it a try? The feeling of liking someone is rare."
"I still think my father is right."
Fujii Itsuki was relieved.
The fact that the girl can think this way shows that Mr. Nagano’s education is quite effective.
Whether from the perspective of an older brother or a teacher, I agree with Chitose's idea.
After lunch, the children need a nap.
