Jiuhuayue was unexpectedly kind, she knew how to give back and even helped put on the heat dissipation patch herself.
He went out to buy antipyretics for himself on a snowy day without hesitation.
She is still very kind by nature.
Yesterday’s lunch box and instant noodles were not wasted.
After resting for about sixteen minutes, the cell phone suddenly rang.
Fujii Itsuki thought it was Jiuhuayue who called to ask about her condition so that she could buy some medicine, but she didn't expect it to be Chitose.
He covered his burning forehead and answered the phone with his eyes closed.
"Hey"
[Brother Shu! Sorry, I'm afraid I have to break my contract this morning.]
"Breach of contract?" Fujii Itsuki's head was so dizzy that he couldn't remember for a moment.
[We agreed yesterday to make breakfast for Brother Shu. Brother Shu, why is your voice wrong?]
"I have a cold." Fujii Itsuki covered his forehead.
[You caught a cold?! No, it’s nothing. I just came back to Otaru from Tokyo and I haven’t adjusted to the temperature yet.]
Now that Qiansui said that, it might be true. Plus, I stood for a long time last night, which eventually led to a cold.
Fujii Itsuki didn't want the girl to worry.
"It's okay, just take some medicine at home."
[Brother Shu just came back, do you have any medicine to reduce fever?]
Fujii Itsuki didn't want to deceive Chitose with lies, "Don't worry, I still have enough energy to go out and buy medicine."
There was an inexplicable pause of several seconds on the other end of the phone.
[That won’t do! It’s snowing outside and there’s no car to take. Going out will only make me sicker. Brother Shu is waiting at home. I’ll buy some medicine and bring it over right away.]
"Didn't you say you couldn't come today—Chitose? Chitose?"
Fujii Itsuki barely managed to lift the phone to his face and saw that the call had been hung up by the girl.
He called Chitose again, but no one answered.
What is this?
Chapter 16 Cold and Snow
[If he cared about you, why didn't he inform you in advance when he returned to Otaru?]
For some reason, the words my father said yesterday afternoon keep lingering in my mind.
I have already confirmed in my heart that this is absolutely impossible.
But the brain can't help but think about it, imagine the possibility of this situation, and imagine what it would be like when this scene happens.
The first time I became aware of Brother Tree’s existence was when I was three years old and fell ill.
I suddenly had a high fever late at night, and the small clinics nearby were helpless against my cold. Common antipyretic drugs and fever patches were completely ineffective.
If you want to get treatment, you can only go to a big hospital in the city center.
That day, it snowed really really hard.
There were no people or cars on the street, only streets covered with heavy snow, roadside trees, and street lights that were so dim that they were almost out.
My whole body was in pain, and my head was dizzy. I didn't know what was happening or where I was.
In a daze, I only remember that on such a snowy day, there was someone in front of me who kept comforting me, calling my name, and telling me not to be afraid, not to sleep, and that the hospital would be there soon.
At that time, I realized that I was actually on the back of a familiar person.
He carried himself on his back, kept running, kept panting, and kept calling his name. He also told Chitose to hold on and not sleep, and that he would have new candies to eat tomorrow.
At that time, I didn’t know where I would go, nor why I would go there.
I just felt his back was so warm and solid, and I just thought I would have new candies to eat tomorrow.
I don't remember much about the hospital scene.
I only remember that when I was sent to the intensive care unit, I saw many strangers. They were wearing white clothes, white hats, and had a silver snake hanging around their necks.
They seemed to be saying some very horrible, horrible things. I had to go into a room alone and stay with them.
I was so scared at that time. I just hid in the arms of that acquaintance, hugged him tightly, and clung to him. I didn't want to be separated from him.
He smiled and patiently comforted me not to be afraid, saying that he would always be with me, always with me.
I promised him that we could be separated for a while.
Although I agreed, I didn't realize how scared I was until I didn't see him.
An unfamiliar room, unfamiliar people, and the scary man in white even put the silver snake on his chest to scare him.
I really want to see him, I really want him to hug me, I really want the candy he gives me.
I clearly promised him not to cry, but I still couldn't help but shed tears.
After finally meeting him, I kept telling him that I wanted him to hug me.
He hugged himself warmly, patted his back, and told himself that he had been obedient and would have candy tomorrow.
It was at that time that I realized that I had always had a very good brother by my side.
His name is Fujii Itsuki. He was the one who found me in the snow and he is my brother.
He was the one who brought me up and became my family member.
Later, when I was a little older, the dean talked about what happened that year again.
The dean said that that night, after Brother Shu understood his condition, he carried him on his back without hesitation and ran to the city center.
In the deep snowy night with the temperature at -10°C, he ran for more than two hours carrying himself on his back.
The dean also said, "Since the day Shu picked you up and named you, he has loved you like his own sister. He is a sensible and mature child. He probably saw a shadow of his past in you. You were all alone and abandoned in the snow right after you were born. You had no family willing to love you, and no parents or relatives willing to accept your existence, so he treated you as his own family."
Yes, I have no family and no parents who are willing to accept my existence and care about my existence.
Growing up, I always had trouble getting along with other children in the orphanage because of my heart disease.
It was he who had always taken care of me and always shared with me the good things he had gotten. It was he who had saved me more than once and regarded me as important as a family member. It was also he who had given me love and support on my growth path more than once, allowing me to strive to survive despite my congenital illness.
Because of all the above, I am so dependent on the tree brother who has always cared for me.
Brother Tree, will you not care about yourself?
impossible.
This is absolutely impossible.
The father must not know what happened between the two of them in the past, so he would say such things.
'Impossible, this is impossible, absolutely impossible.'
Yang Kui Chitose gave herself three psychological hints in succession and took several deep breaths before she managed to calm down.
She got up at five o'clock as usual.
Today we have to prepare various ingredients for side dishes and sushi, so my mother got up early and went to the kitchen to get busy.
When Yang Kui Chitose entered the kitchen, he saw that she was already busy cooking noodles for the two of them.
"Qian Sui, didn't I tell you to take more rest today?"
"It's okay! Dad said that he would be very busy preparing the ingredients today, and I would feel uncomfortable if I got up late. Mom is the one who got up earlier than me."
While busying herself, Yang Kui Eriko said, "I want you to rest more today, so I got up early to cook noodles for you. It's still early, so there's no need to get busy yet. Chitose, how about going back to your room and catching up on some sleep, or sitting down and waiting for me to make breakfast?"
"This is not okay!"
Chitose Yang Kui always has a smile on her face, and just looking at her makes you feel particularly comfortable.
For Eriko Yangaoki, her adopted daughter's smile has always been positive, sunny and uplifting.
This child is very sensible. She never says anything and always does and helps.
She can do many things well.
"Qian Sui, I spoke to the old man for you last night. What he said yesterday was really too much."
"It's okay, I don't take it seriously at all." Yang Kui Chitose said with a smile, and put the condiments for the noodles into three bowls.
Yang Kui Eriko sighed, "He has always been strict with you. It wasn't like this before. The Yuehui incident had a huge impact on the family."
One year after Qiansui entered the Yangkui family, Yangkui Yuehui died early.
She had no impression of this brother whom she seldom met, except that he was a man who loved sports very much.
He would go out with his friends from time to time.
At the beginning, his father had always wanted him to inherit the Yangkui family business. He had always been troubled by Yangkui Yuehui who was always looking forward to the outside world, and had always tried his best to prevent them from doing dangerous things like climbing snow-capped mountains.
That year, their mountaineering team encountered a snowstorm not long after they reached the mountain. On the way down the mountain, Yang Kui Yuehui was unfortunately swept into the wind and snow and fell to the bottom of the mountain.
Three days later, the news of Yang Kui Yuehui's death was reported back home, but even the body had not been found.
Qiansui still remembers that his father was depressed for a long time in front of Yang Kui Yuehui's portrait.
It was also from that time that his father became extremely strict with him.
"Here, Chitose, open it and take a look."
While waiting for the water to boil and cook the noodles, Eriko Yangkui suddenly took out an exquisite little wooden box.
"what is this?"
"Chitose, just open it and you'll know." Yang Kui Eriko put her hands in front of her and smiled.
With curiosity, Chitose Yangkui opened the small wooden box and found two exquisite handmade sushi inside. Unlike traditional sushi, there were no sashimi, salmon roe, cucumber or other ingredients on top.
Instead, there are two little rabbit head sculptures carved from carrots and inserted on the sides of the sushi.
It’s just that the rabbit is very serious and stern, and doesn’t look cute at all.
