Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Aimei raised her head and looked at Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan raised his hand and gently placed his palm on Ai Mei's face.

His fingers were slightly bent, and his fingertips caressed her smooth cheek.

Ai Mei's body trembled slightly.

This touch felt like a switch.

All her strength, composure, and "I'm fine" from just moments ago crumbled in that instant.

Her lips trembled: "Jiang Chuan..."

Aimei threw herself into Jiang Chuan's arms.

She wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, buried her face in his chest, and snuggled into his embrace.

When facing her man, Ai Mei still put aside her strength and let her be as soft as she could be.

Jiang Chuan didn't say anything, he just reached out and hugged her.

He had one arm around her waist and the other hand on the back of her head, his fingers running through her hair as he gently stroked it.

After a while, Jiang Chuan finally spoke.

"alright."

"The future leader of the Fighting Spirit Dojo."

Ai Mei's body moved slightly.

"Now all my worries have been resolved."

Jiang Chuan's hand slid down her hair and gently pinched the back of her neck.

"You'd better cheer up."

"Revitalize the Fighting Spirit Dojo."

As he spoke, Jiang Chuan put one arm around Ai Mei and took a Poké Ball out of his pocket with the other.

"This is……"

Aimei finally lifted her head from Jiang Chuan's embrace.

Her gaze fell on the baby ball in Jiang Chuan's hand, her eyes full of doubt.

"This is your father's Abbott."

Jiang Chuan handed the baby ball to her.

"The Pokémon Center has restored it."

"And I've registered you."

"Fan Dou has lost his normal trainer status, and his Pokémon need to be cared for by his family."

"Now, you are Abiron's master."

"Loves beauty."

Jiang Chuan looked into her eyes and said, word by word.

"Use it as the foundation for your revitalization of the Fighting Spirit Dojo."

Aimei reached out her hands and carefully took the baby ball.

"Thank you... Jiang Chuan..."

Then she threw herself into Jiang Chuan's arms and hugged him tightly.

I hugged her for a long, long time.

Hanako and Kasumi stood to the side and exchanged a glance.

The two of them laughed at the same time.

.....................

After leaving the hospital, Ai Mei's mood improved a lot.

She seemed to have a heavy burden lifted off her shoulders, and her shoulders relaxed.

"Let's go."

Aimei turned to look at Jiang Chuan, a smile appearing on her face.

"Jiang Chuan, can we come home for the celebration dinner tonight? I want to tell my mom about what happened between us."

Jiang Chuan nodded and replied, "Okay!"

Several people followed Aimei and walked towards her house.

Aimei's home is not far from the hospital, only an hour's drive away.

Aimei pushed open the gate to the courtyard and led a few people inside.

"Mom, I'm home."

The four of them had a table in the living room laden with dishes.

A whole table full of food, at least a dozen dishes.

Although the dishes weren't presented with the exquisite presentation of a professional chef, each one exuded a homely warmth and care.

Moreover, the quantity is very large, clearly not just made for one or two people.

Hanako and Kasumi were both stunned.

Jiang Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Ayano, Aimi's mother, was standing next to the table, holding a plate of freshly cooked food.

She was wearing simple loungewear, a light gray top paired with dark trousers, and her hair was casually clipped back with a hair clip.

Ayano's face had an unusual rosy glow today, and her eyes were brighter than usual.

Ayano's eyes lit up when she saw Aimi and the others come in.

"Oh, you're back!"

She placed the dishes on the table, wiped her hands on her apron, and smiled as brightly as if it were Chinese New Year.

"Come in, come in! The food's freshly made, eat it while it's hot!"

Aimei stood at the door, completely dumbfounded.

Her mouth was slightly open, her eyes were wide open, and she stared blankly at the large table of dishes.

"Mother……"

Her voice trembled slightly.

"You...you did all of this?"

"Yeah, that's right." Ayano nodded with a smile. "What's wrong?"

Aimi quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ayano's hand.

"Mom, you're so weak, how can you cook so much food?"

She felt both distressed and anxious.

"I can do it when I get back! How could you..."

Aimi's fingers gripped Ayano's hand tightly, feeling the warmth and pulse of that hand.

But she was still worried, so she held onto Ayano's arm with her other hand, afraid that Ayano might lose her balance.

"Mom, please sit down, don't stand up."

Are you tired? Are you dizzy?

Ai Mei was so anxious she was in a frenzy.

Ayano was helped to sit down, and seeing her daughter's anxious expression, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm fine."

She patted Ai Mei's hand, her tone gentle yet firm.

"I'm really fine."

"This afternoon, I saw Jiang Chuan win the championship on TV."

"I was incredibly excited!"

"I suddenly felt energetic all over, and it felt like all my ailments were gone."

"And then you said you'd come back to celebrate, so I..."

"I'm not tired at all right now, really."

Aimi carefully examined Ayano's expression.

It's definitely much better than before.

Aimei reluctantly let go of her hand.

"Are you really okay?"

"It's really nothing." Ayano smiled and nodded. "Don't worry unnecessarily."

"Come, come, sit down quickly. There are two more dishes; I'll go get them."

As she spoke, Ayano was about to stand up again.

Aimei quickly held her down.

"Mom, you sit down, I'll get it."

"Hanako-nee, could you please look after my mother for me?"

Hanako walked over with a smile and sat down next to Ayano.

"Leave it to me, you go and get busy."

Aimei nodded and quickly walked towards the kitchen.

Xiaoxia also sat down and started chattering about Jiangchuan's victory.

After a while, Aimei came out of the kitchen with the last two dishes and placed them on the table.

"Alright, everyone's here. Let's eat."

As she spoke, she sat down next to Jiang Chuan.

"Mom, there's something I want to tell you."

Ayano looked up at her daughter.

"What's wrong?"

Aimi blushed. She glanced at Jiang Chuan, then at Hanako and Xiaoxia, and finally fixed her gaze on Ayano.

"Mother……"

"I...I'm with Jiang Chuan now, I'm his woman..."

After saying this, Aimi's face turned as red as if it were about to bleed, but she did not lower her head, but looked straight at Ayano.

Ayano was stunned.

The chopsticks in his hand stopped in mid-air, and his mouth was slightly open.

"Snapped!"

Ayano slammed her chopsticks down on the table and clapped her hands together.

"Really?"

She stood up from the chair, her face beaming with joy.

"Really? You care about your appearance? Are you serious?"

Ayano's voice was trembling, not from weakness, but from excitement.

"You...you really..."

Before she could finish speaking, her body suddenly swayed.

He tilted to the side.

"Mother!"

Aimi's face turned deathly pale instantly. She sprang up from her chair and grabbed Ayano to support her.

"Mom! What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing..." Ayano waved her hand, a smile on her face.

"It's nothing, I was just too excited and stood up too quickly, I feel a little dizzy..."

"Don't scare me, Mom..."

Aimi helped Ayano sit down, her fingers trembling.

"Wait here, I'll call the doctor."

She turned to look at Jiang Chuan.

"Jiang Chuan, please make a call for the family doctor who comes here regularly. His number is in the notebook under the coffee table..."

Jiang Chuan nodded and got up to make a phone call.

Hanako also came over and helped Ayano support herself.

Xiaoxia stood to the side, stamping her feet in frustration.

Ayano was helped to the sofa and lay down.

She was still smiling, saying repeatedly, "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry."

But Ai Mei didn't believe it at all.

The family doctor arrived in less than twenty minutes.

She was a female doctor in her forties, wearing glasses, and looked very professional.

She is Ayano's resident family doctor, who comes for a check-up every month and is very knowledgeable about Ayano's condition.

The female doctor put down her medical kit and began examining Ayano.

Measuring blood pressure, measuring heart rate, listening to breathing...

Aimei stood to the side, not daring to breathe.

Hanako put her arm around her shoulder and patted her gently.

Xiaoxia stood behind, her hands clasped together, as if in prayer.

Jiang Chuan leaned against the wall, his expression calm, but his gaze remained fixed on Ayano.

The female doctor examined the patient for a while before putting away her stethoscope.

Her expression was a little strange.

"Doctor, how is my mother?"

Ai Mei asked impatiently.

The female doctor took off her stethoscope, turned around, and looked at Aimei.

"Ayano-san's body..."

She paused for a moment, as if organizing her thoughts.

"He's almost fully recovered."

Aimei was stunned.

"what?"

Her mouth was slightly open, and her eyes were wide open.

"Almost recovered? How could that be?"

"Didn't they say your condition had worsened during your follow-up checkup last month?"
