Living in Tokyo, all I want to do is laze around.

"Ah...okay..." Uesugi Kai realized that Dr. Nasu was referring to Hanamaru Hanabi.

"Young people these days really don't know how to take care of their health. When they go to the hospital and are diagnosed with a disease that is difficult to cure, they show a 'How could this happen?' expression."

After shaking his head and saying this, Dr. Nasu left the room.

Kai Uesugi felt that his surgeon was very decisive.

"Yes, yes, Hanabi understands... I won't stay up late anymore."

Not long after Dr. Nasu left, a sound came from outside the door.

Kai Uesugi looked at the ward door, and a few seconds later, the door was pushed open.

"Kai-kun, Hanabi came to see... Kai-kun?!" Hanabi, wearing a light blue short skirt, looked in surprise at Uesugi Kai, who was smiling and waving at her from the hospital bed.

"Kai-kun is awake?!"

"Yes, you're awake." Seeing her little face, Uesugi Kai's mood improved considerably. "Who were you talking to just now?"

"Mom and the others." Hanabi Hanamaru held a cell phone with a shark pendant hanging from it.

She quickly walked up to him. "Kai-kun, are you alright? Does your head still hurt? Should Hanabi call the doctor over to take a look?"

"Speak slowly, my brain has just recovered, I'm a little overwhelmed."

"Ah... I'm sorry." Hanabi Hanabi quickly apologized.

"No need, I didn't mean to blame you. I just said it as a joke because I saw you were in such a hurry," Uesugi Kai said with a smile, looking quite well.

Seeing that she was still carrying large bags and small packages, Uesugi Kai said, "Put them down first."

"Good, good."

Hanamaru Hanahana placed the bento box and fruit on the bedside table and sat on the stool next to the bed.

"Hanabi went to Meiji Shrine at noon today to draw a fortune for Kai-kun."

"What is it?" Uesugi Kai greeted her with a happy little face.

"Suekichi...so Hanabi wants to come a little earlier today."

Uesugi Kai waved his hand. "That's why drawing a fortune slip is just for the sake of having a thought; you don't have to believe it completely. Didn't I wake up today? What should I write on this fortune slip?"

"Great fortune!"

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?" Uesugi Kai could tell that she was genuinely very happy.

Hanabi Hanabi hadn't finished eating fruit yet, so she immediately brought out his dinner bento box for him.

"Kai-kun just woke up... Is it okay for him to eat like this?"

"I'm mentally ill, not physically ill. I'm fine, I can eat."

This is one of the reasons.

Another point is that Uesugi Kai is very confident in his body. For example, when he first woke up, his hands and feet were still a little uncomfortable, but after a while, he was completely back to normal.

With a constitution of 8, it also has strong recovery and adaptability.

Kai Uesugi took the still-warm bento from Hanabi Hanamaru's hands, and as soon as she opened the lid, she was greeted by a familiar aroma.

Stewed potatoes with meat, vegetable salad, diced cucumbers, pork ribs, and shredded white radish.

My mouth is watering before we even start eating.

Perhaps it's because I haven't had a meal made by Hanabi in a long time, and my body is starting to crave that taste.

He was just about to pick up his chopsticks and start eating.

"Kai-kun...do you want some fireworks?...Kai-kun just woke up."

"Okay." Uesugi Kai handed the bento box back to her.

Hanamaru Hanabi held the bento box in her little hands, picked up a piece of meat, a little shredded radish, and put it together with white rice, then held it to his mouth and carefully fed it to him.

He chewed his food, watching her patiently standing in front of him.

While feeling warm inside, I also wanted to cherish the girl in front of me even more.

How did I faint that day?

"That day... wasn't Kai-kun supposed to help Hanabi and her mother take a group photo?"

###Chapter 313 Squeezing into the hospital tonight?###

These words from Uesugi Kai were an apology to Hanabi, but also a message to himself.

It makes me feel much better after I talk about it.

I took her on a trip to help her relax, but it ended up making her worry for a whole week.

As I ate the bento she patiently fed me, I felt a mix of emotions, both pleasant and unpleasant.

Hanabi Hanabi held a bento box in one hand and chopsticks in the other, her bright purple eyes looking at him.

"Thanks......"

"Thank you for what...?"

"Thank you, Kai-kun, for being willing to talk so much with Hanabi..."

Kai Uesugi smiled calmly: "I was apologizing to you, so why are you thanking me instead?"

"For Hanabi... this is proof that Kai-kun cares about Hanabi."

“Since childhood, only Kai has always wished Hanabi a happy birthday. Whether it was one person or many people, Hanabi felt that as long as Kai said ‘Happy Birthday’ on that day, it was enough.”

"Hanabi is really grateful to Kai-kun... thank you..."

Behind her, there was soft sunlight and curtains fluttering in the breeze.

If this were a movie, the camera would gradually pull back, showing the trains moving, vehicles passing by, and the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. The screen would gradually darken as the girl softly expressed her gratitude, and the final line of the beautiful prologue would appear in the center of the image:

The End.

He wanted her smile to stay, yet he worried that the girl represented by the name Hanamaru Hanabi wouldn't continue on her path.

I recalled her smiles again and again, and only when I looked at her beauty again did I understand what true preciousness was.

Kai Uesugi was deeply moved, and a few crystal tears involuntarily slid down her cheeks as she smiled at her.

"Hanabi."

"Yes... Kai-kun."

"Even if life is the simplest, we'll walk together through it, okay?"

"Of course."

"For me, even the most ordinary life is meaningless without you. Without you, I...I..."

Sitting on the hospital bed, Uesugi Kai suddenly pressed his head against the wall, his face contorted in pain.

Hanabi Hanamaru hurriedly put down the bento box in her hand and called his name repeatedly: "Kai-kun, Kai-kun, Kai-kun."

"I'm sorry... my head hurts a little..."

"Kai-kun just had surgery not long ago...don't talk."

Kai Uesugi, barely maintaining his senses as he was about to faint, nodded.

Shortly afterward, he was taken to the radiology department for an MRI scan.

Hanabi Hanamaru stood to the side, holding the bento box that he had only eaten a few bites of, watching him slowly enter the circular MRI machine with his eyes closed.

Drop drop drop.

Hanabi Hanamaru took out her phone from her waist bag, went outside, and sat on a bench in the hospital corridor.

"dad."

"Hmm, how is Xiao Kai?"

Hanabi Hanamaru lowered her head and replied to her phone, "Dr. Nasu said it's a rare aftereffect and I need to have another check-up."

"I'm sorry, I'm very busy today and can't come with you to see him."

"It's ok."

"Is his illness hereditary?"

Hanabi Hanabi shook her head. "I don't know if it's because... neither Kai-kun's father nor grandfather had this condition..."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Hanabi, there's something I really need to tell you."

"Ah."

"After hearing about Xiaozhao's situation, your grandfather didn't really agree with your marriage."

Why?

"Because Xiaozhao's illness is incurable and is very likely to relapse at any time, the symptoms of this disease are many, including confusion, paralysis, epilepsy, and numbness of the limbs. He doesn't want you to take care of a patient for the rest of your life. Your grandfather's idea is that this is not good for you. You can break off the engagement after he is discharged from the hospital."

"..." Hana-Maru Hanabi lowered her head even further, her voice becoming softer, "Then... what does Daddy mean?"

“Father’s thinking is too biased. I support you and Xiaozhao. Although I am very reluctant to face this situation, I think if Xiaozhao is really paralyzed for life, you will be willing to take care of him forever.”

"Spend some time with him. He's a rather lonely person. Dad has work to do, so I'll hang up now."

"Okay, goodbye Dad."

Hanabi Hanamaru put away her phone, picked up the bento box she had just eaten from, and stared at it quietly for a long time.

Nurses, frail patients in hospital gowns, and elderly people being pushed in wheelchairs by their families walked past in the hospital corridor. Behind me came the extremely discordant noise of the resonator machine, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

"Firework Sister".

Hanabi Hanabi looked up, her somewhat unhappy face quickly breaking into a smile: "It's Ai."

The two ladies arrived with their four little ones.

Hearing the noise coming from the medical room, Qian Aiyi asked with concern, "Is brother alright?"

"It's okay...they're still checking."
