My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

However, Kouta, who had already left, obviously did not hear this.

However, soon after, Kouta came in with a basin of warm water and a hot water bottle used in winter.

Kouta first put down the basin of warm water, then took the gentle hot water bottle to the bedside, preparing to place the hot water bottle on Hui's lower abdomen.

At that moment, Kouta realized that he had been in such a hurry that he had forgotten to change Hui's clothes.

"Hui, get up for a moment and take off your clothes."

"Take off, take off your clothes?! You, you... um."

When Hui heard about taking off her clothes, she wanted to refuse, but at that moment, Kouta gave her a sense of security and she didn't want to do anything, so she let him do as he pleased.

Kouta skillfully undressed Hui and then found a nightgown in Hui's wardrobe for her to change into.

"Okay, Hui, lie down and rest well! I'll stay with you."

"Hmm." Hui lay down in a daze, not knowing why Kouta had suddenly become so gentle. You know, Kouta is usually a boy, and he has a bit of a domineering and tough masculine air about him.

But now, this gentle Kouta... I really like him too.

After seeing Hui lie down, Kouta lifted a corner of the pink blanket and gently placed the warm water bottle he had prepared earlier on Hui's lower abdomen, then lightly massaged the area around her abdomen using a special massage technique...

These methods were learned by Kouta in his previous life after he saw his wife suffering from menstrual cramps.

In Kouta's view, the Witness in this world has the same experience as in her previous life, and the pain of her menstrual period should be similar.

When he learned that Hui had started her period, Kōta was finally jolted awake from his month of blissful happiness.

Yes!

Hui's crisis has never been resolved.

The fundamental reason for Huiying's untimely death in her previous life was organ failure.

This is because Hui suffered from a chronic illness due to previous violence, which cannot be cured but can only be managed through recuperation.

The reason Hui is still alright is simply because she is young.

Perhaps... there are already signs, but we just don't know it.

How to do?

No, we can't just sit here and wait to die!

I want to study medicine!

Yes, I must start now, I want to study medicine!

······

Since his rebirth, Kouta feels that he has finally found his goal for the future.

Or perhaps this is the meaning of his second life: to save Hui.

Hui was already touched by Kengtai's gentle and meticulous care, feeling as sweet as if she had eaten honey. Then, Kengtai warmed her navel and massaged her, which made Hui feel even sweeter.

At this point, even if Kouta makes some unreasonable request, Hui will not refuse.

But when Hui looked at her lover with tender affection, she was confused.

Because Kouta's expressions were incredibly varied—sometimes showing pity, sometimes regret, sometimes grief, sometimes determination...

If Hui can't figure it out, then... she shouldn't think about it anymore!

I don't know how much time passed.

"Hui, do you want some water? Wait for me a moment."

"Ah."

A moment later, Kouta came in carrying a large bowl of brown sugar ginger and jujube tea.

Chapter 129 If you want it, you can.

Geng Tai first helped Hui up, then placed a pillow behind Hui's back so that Hui could sit half-upright on the bed.

Then, Kouta picked up the brown sugar ginger and jujube tea with his left hand, and with his right hand, he scooped up a spoonful of the tea with a small spoon. He first blew on it to his own lips, and then carefully offered it to Hui's pink lips.

“Come, Hui. Ah—”

"Ah~~"

Hui felt like she had returned to the time when she was a child and was sick, and Misa took care of her and made her take medicine.

Although brown sugar and red dates are added to the brown sugar ginger and jujube tea to mask the pungent "gingerone" in ginger, firstly, Kōta's cooking skills are not very good, and secondly, the spiciness of ginger is not so easy to cover up, so the taste is still not good.

But for Hui at that moment, it was the sweetest tea in the world, so sweet it was refreshing and captivating.

Kouta took good care of Hui, who was not seriously ill to begin with, until one o'clock in the afternoon.

She watched as Kouta carefully took care of her when she was sick.

Hui just wanted this time to last forever.

However, I noticed that the clock on the desk was already past one o'clock.

Hui knew that Gengtai was leaving.

After all, no matter how much Hui begged before, Kouta always insisted on going to work.

Hui also subtly mentioned to Kouta that she could provide money if he needed it, as she had written two books and had the funds.

However, Kouta never agreed, and Kei couldn't insist, since she knew about boys' pride.

"Are you leaving?" Hui asked with some reluctance.

"Huh?" Kouta glanced at the clock and suddenly realized, "No, I've already asked my boss for leave, and I won't be leaving for the next few days."

"Oh?! Really!" Hui's face lit up with joy, but after her excitement came a pang of guilt. "This... won't cause you any trouble, will it?"

Kouta smiled knowingly, gently pinched Hui's delicate nose, and said affectionately, "No."

"Ah."

Although Kei heard Kouta say no, she only thought it was a lie Kouta told her so she wouldn't feel guilty, and felt extremely guilty for a moment.

Furthermore, thinking about Kouta's meticulous care for her, Hui hesitated for a long time before finally making up her mind.

"Kota!"

"what happened?"

"If you... if you want it, you can." Hui's face grew redder and redder as she spoke, and her voice grew softer and softer until finally, Kouta could only vaguely hear "you can."

Kōta smiled indulgently and smoothed Hui's hair from her forehead: "Silly Hui, what are you thinking about? Just rest well, and tell me immediately if you feel unwell!"

Although there was nothing wrong with what Kouta said, Hui was currently menstruating, and after hearing Kouta's words, she felt inexplicably wronged and angry.

I was just trying to treat you, how did I end up being so silly?

snort!

Bad guy! Big bad guy!

You're the one who's stupid! You're the one who's stupid!

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She turned over and lay on her side, leaving only her back to Kouta.

"I don't want to see you right now! Get out of here!"

Of course, Kōta wouldn't leave. When Hui said "I don't want to see you" during her period, she didn't mean for him to actually leave, but rather for him to stay and keep her company.

This is the truth that Kouta only learned after several tragic lessons in his previous life.

···

Kouta stayed by Hui's side the whole time, providing her with meticulous care and attending to her every need. He could often tell from a single glance or subtle expression whether Hui wanted water or needed to use the restroom…

Kouta didn't leave until 7:30 p.m., because Kei was going to her noodle shop for dinner. Before leaving, Kouta told Kei to call him if she felt unwell.

After reluctantly parting ways with Kouta, Hui ate dinner at her family's noodle shop as usual. It was a bit strange that the shop was still quite crowded at 8 pm, which was a low time for customers. However, Hui was attracted by the news on TV.

Hui didn't know that these people had all heard that "every night around 8 o'clock, a stunningly beautiful girl would appear in a noodle shop called 'A Bowl of Soul-Entering Noodles' to eat noodles..." These people had come to see the beauty because of her reputation.

However, Hui's attention is currently focused on the news broadcast on television.

The news anchor said, "There's still a week until the new district chief election... and the candidates' street speeches are getting increasingly enthusiastic..."

"In front of Hachioji Station, Ryuichi Nomaru, Secretary-General of the Liberal Democratic Party, is one of the current candidates..."

The television screen shifts to Ryuichi Nomaru standing on a promotional truck, giving a speech: "I want the new area to develop into a second Tokyo, but it would be meaningless if it developed like Tokyo. The new area must be a new area; it must have the awareness of a new territory, and it must achieve an urban structure that surpasses Tokyo..."

······

The scene shifts to Hashimoto Station, where Sai Kaika, an unaffiliated resident of Motosagamihara, delivers a speech: "The new region needs the strength of the new generation. Living in the future means shouldering the future of Japan... Don't entrust the future to political parties; we are all involved..."

···

Hui watched the news, pondering the information about Xinyu:

Shin-mae – a newly established independent autonomous region born in western Tokyo.

Tokyo Metropolis and Tokyo are two different concepts.

"Tokyo" refers to the "Tokyo Metropolitan Wards", which are commonly known as the 23 wards of Tokyo or the Tokyo Special Wards.

"Tokyo" is indeed the historical concept of Tokyo City, but strictly speaking, it is not a city, but a special administrative region consisting of 23 wards, with an area of ​​approximately 623 square kilometers and a population of around 900 million.

Among them, the three core areas of Chiyoda Ward, Chuo Ward, and Minato Ward are called the "Three Wards of the City Center";

Shinjuku Ward, Toshima Ward, Shibuya Ward, and Bunkyo Ward are known as the "sub-center area".

Tokyo Metropolis is a first-level administrative division of Japan, consisting of the 23 wards of Tokyo, the Tama region, the Izu Islands, the Ogasawara Islands, and other areas. It is the only metropolis among Japan's prefectures, with an area of ​​approximately 2188 square kilometers and a population of around 1350 million.

When the Japanese man spoke of Tokyo, he was referring to the 23 wards of Tokyo, not the entire Tokyo metropolitan area. This is because the 23 wards are the most prosperous areas in Japan, while other parts of Tokyo outside the 23 wards are generally less developed.

However, like other modern international metropolises, Tokyo also faces the problem of overpopulation, with 900 million residents living in a small area of ​​623 square kilometers.

It's worth noting that Beijing has a population of approximately 2100 million, about 2.3 times that of Tokyo. However, Beijing's area is 1.6 square kilometers, roughly 27 times the size of Tokyo. Even so, Beijing still feels crowded, let alone Tokyo.

Large cities need population to drive economic development, but too much population can actually hinder urban development.

How can we solve this problem?

Expand the city.
