Kithara Toru sat next to her, pressing the keys with one hand, and the notes came to his ears.

"Tachibana-kun..."

Kithara Toru increased the speed of his hands, and the black and white keys danced in accordance with his instructions, "Don't worry, we still have a lot of time."

Suddenly it felt itchy.

Tachibana Kanade lowered his head and found that Kithara Toru's thigh was touching his own leg.

A few seconds passed.

Kithara Toru noticed that she was silent.

He opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You're sitting too close."

The white-haired girl replied.

"Don't expose such a trivial matter, right?"

Toru Kitahara smiled and said in a helpless tone: "Practice with a beautiful girl and have inadvertent physical contact. For adolescent boys, it is a very precious treasure."

"treasure?"

"Boys all like cute girls. When we get along like this in private, it's normal to want to get close, right? What's more, Lihua-san is so cute."

"I'm very cute?"

"of course."

"Is that so..."

Tachibana Kanade smiled slightly, "Thank you."

This was the first time that she was praised as cute by a boy.

Chapter 213 Gradually Warming Feelings

[A week later, you filled in the lyrics. 】

[The song was named "Ichiban's Treasure" by you. You incorporated your love and gratitude for everyone into the song. 】

[In late September, you chose to sign up for Xiuhua High School’s cultural festival as planned. 】

[During this period, you were feeling a little unwell, but in order to give this precious gift away, you persisted in the end. 】

【Everything is ready. 】

[On the day you went on stage, something unexpected happened to you. 】

[Because you practiced too frequently, your chest felt a little tight. You didn’t take it to heart at first, but when you were about to perform in the afternoon, you realized the seriousness of the matter. 】

[Kitahara Tooru noticed your discomfort and suggested canceling temporarily. 】

[You reassured him that it was okay, swallowed a pill and stepped onto the stage. 】

[In the lively auditorium, everyone’s eyes are on you...]

[Toru Kitahara is behind the curtain, worried. 】

[You press the keys and play the heavenly sound. This piece is very long. You didn’t feel anything unusual at the beginning, but halfway through, your heart aches and makes it difficult to breathe. 】

[You didn’t stop singing. This performance was not just yours, Toru Kitahara also put in a lot of time. 】

[One month’s hard work cannot fail. 】

【time flies. 】

[Your vision begins to blur. 】

[The black and white of the keys blend together, and you start to play with the memory of your body. 】

[Tired and sleepy, your condition is getting worse and worse. 】

[You don’t know what happened in the end. 】

[I just remember that there was a familiar figure in your sight, and then you fell weakly into his arms. First you heard his anxious voice in your ears, and finally the whole auditorium fell into commotion. 】

Messed up.

[When I opened my eyes again. 】

[You are back in a familiar place again. 】

[The white ward, the scenery outside the window remains unchanged——]

[Except for a few yellowing ginkgo trees, it is no different from spring. 】

[On your wrist, the medicinal solution slowly enters your blood vessels along the needle, and your skin becomes blue and black. You can't even feel the pain, only numbness. 】

["Lihua-san, are you awake?"]

[While you were in a daze, Toru Kitahara walked in. 】

【"sorry……"】

[Screwed up the show. 】

["Lihua-san, there is no need to apologize. The performance went well."]

[You knew he was lying, but you didn’t expose it. 】

[You could obviously avoid this happening, but you still forced yourself to go on stage, and ended up ruining the carefully made gift. 】

[Kitahara Toru saw that you were silent and comforted him: "You can still go on stage next year. We are just in the second year of high school. Although the third year of high school is quite busy with studies..."]

["Kitahara-kun, that's not enough... I don't have enough time." You interrupted him with a disappointed voice. 】

[You only have one chance, your health is getting worse and worse. 】

[This time next year?Whether you can survive until then is another matter. 】

[You are racing against death. You can win countless times, but it is enough for him to defeat you once. 】

[This is an unequal game...]

["Everyone in the band likes your song very much and said that they will use it the next time they perform live on stage."]

[This sentence makes you feel a lot better. 】

["Yeah." You nodded. 】

[Following half a month. 】

【Kitahara Tetsu will come to take care of you every day. 】

[Kitahara Toru thinks it was his own negligence that caused you to faint on the stage. 】

[So, he has an obligation to take care of you. 】

[This makes you a little embarrassed. 】

[His careful care will always make you feel ashamed of being treated like a little baby by him, but your weak body cannot resist his manipulation. 】

【Finally, he got his wish. 】

[In this matter, it was not until you got better that he slowed down the frequency of visiting you. 】

[During this period, Hiroi Kiuri would also come over every now and then. 】

[The same is true for everyone in the Bond Band. 】

[The connection between you and Toru Kitahara has deepened. 】

[In November, the destination of the school trip for the second year of high school was set in the snowy Northland. 】

[Although your condition has improved, running to a cold place is also strictly prohibited. 】

[The attending physician doesn’t allow it, the parents don’t allow it, and Toru Kitahara also doesn’t agree. 】

[You are once again the canary in the birdcage. 】

[Time is like water, and in a blink of an eye, the day for their departure came. 】

[On the Shinkansen, Toru Kitahara started a video call with you, using a live broadcast to show you this school trip. Sitting next to him were Kazuri Goto and Ikuyo Kita. 】

[During the journey, the three of them were talking and laughing. On the other end of the video, you felt a sense of empathy and happiness. 】

【as well as……】

[A hint of jealousy. 】

???

why?

[After getting along for the past six months, your relationship with Kithara Toru has already exceeded the level of friends. 】

[It is also commonly known as...]

【like. 】

hi... like?

impossible!

How could I possibly fall in love with the boy my friend likes?

Tachibana Kanade shook his head inwardly and retorted.

But once you think about it this simulator is a simulation based on reality.

Tachibana Kan also thinks that with so many incidents that have happened to boost his favorability, the possibility that he will fall in love with Kithara Toru is actually not low.

It was just a little bit hard for her to accept.

……

[You once asked about the relationship between Kita Ikuyo and Kitahara Toru, and the answer you received was simply 'friends'. 】

[You also asked Ichiri Goto, and the results were pretty much the same. 】

[If they are not lying, in fact, Kithara Toru is still single. 】

[Then, it is not impossible to steal men. 】

[It’s just that you know your physical condition better than anyone else, and falling in love is a taboo for patients. 】

[But how should we vent the hard-to-suppressed feelings in our hearts? 】

【you do not know. 】

[Kitahara Toru knew that you were looking forward to the trip to the North Country, so he bought a sports camera and tied it to his forehead to live broadcast you from the No. 1 perspective, fulfilling his original agreement with you. 】

[Under his leadership, you saw the snowy Northland and experienced alpine skiing. 】

Seeing alpine skiing, Tachibana Kanade silently opened the first perspective of the observer simulator.

A scene of rapid speeding down the mountain.

The biting cold air, the steep slope of [-] degrees, the extremely difficult jumping platform...

Crazy adrenaline rush.

All of them are exciting.

ten minutes later.

Exiting the simulation, Tachibana Kanade was satisfied.

Have fun.

She likes Kithara Tooru's body very much.

[On the third day of your school trip, he took you to Otaru, a quaint seaport town with falling snow. It was surprisingly popular. 】

[Scenes that were originally only seen in movies and books appeared before my eyes. 】

[During the process, you listened to Kithara Tetsu's gentle voice, and your heart ached slightly. 】

……

【From this day forward. 】

[You start to expect miracles to happen. 】
