In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

But after they left, Rikka, who had returned home, seemed very disappointed.

However, with the comfort of Chiya and Toka, she didn't feel down for long.

I think so too. It's not too late to call him when she's mentally prepared and he comes back.

Three days later, in the evening, Gen Chiya was sparring with Saeko Busujima at the kendo club.

Suddenly, his homeroom teacher rushed in, panting, phone in hand: "Qianye, your parents... were in a car accident."

"Thud." Yuan Qianye's mind went blank, and the bamboo sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Saeko Busujima, standing in front of him, widened her eyes upon hearing this. Seeing that Chiya Minamoto was unsteady, she dropped her bamboo sword and rushed forward to help him.

At that moment, the Mediterranean-looking homeroom teacher suddenly realized that what he had said seemed ambiguous, and immediately explained, "No, your parents were in a car accident and are in the hospital, but they are fine, don't be afraid!"

How could I not be scared?!

Yuan Qianye's heart, which had stopped abruptly, started beating again. He was frantic: "What's going on?!"

The homeroom teacher was middle-aged and lacked stamina; he had jogged all the way from the office and was still a little out of breath. However, after resting for a while, he was finally able to speak clearly.

“Your father called to say that the bus they were on had an accident and he couldn’t reach you, so he called me to say that you should usually be at the kendo club at this time and asked me to come and find you.”

After hearing this, Yuan Qianye ran straight to the sidelines, opened his bag, and took out his phone.

Several missed calls from his father.

He dialed the number immediately.

The call was connected within seconds.

His father's booming voice came through the phone: "Hey, Qianye! Don't worry..."

Yuan Qianye wasn't completely at ease, and interrupted him urgently, "Dad, where's Mom?"

"She's right next to me, just wait while I turn on the speakerphone."

The next moment, Takanashi Junko's voice came through clearly: "Hey, Chiya, we're okay, don't worry."

At this point, Yuan Qianye's strength dissipated in an instant, and he sat down heavily on the ground.

"Qianye, it was just that the bus driver was distracted and rear-ended us. Although the process was a bit dangerous and we suffered some minor abrasions, we are all fine."

Yuan Qianye video-called them and, seeing that her father and Takanashi Junko both looked healthy and energetic, finally felt completely relieved.

Gen Sanada explained to his son, "Only you know about this. Don't tell Toka and Rikka, especially Rikka. It's best to never let her know about our car accident. She's a kind-hearted girl, but she's also sensitive. I'm afraid she'll overthink things and think that we got hurt because of the lottery ticket she won."

Yuan Qianye agreed to this, but after calming down, he also realized that something was not quite right.

His father was wearing a hospital gown, but Runzi's mother wasn't.

"Dad, tell me honestly, are you hiding something from me?"

"No……"

"Turn the camera around."

"..."

"Turn around!"

Genji Sanada had no choice but to do as he was told.

Then Yuan Qianye saw his right leg, which was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, and his face immediately darkened.

"I was going to tell you this, but I was afraid you'd overthink it! It's really nothing, just a fracture! Your dad broke his leg three times playing basketball when he was young, and he recovered and was still as lively as ever. It doesn't affect anything, it just takes time to heal!"

Why are you making that face? Believe me, Qianye, the most seriously injured person on the whole bus is that distracted driver. His face is covered in glass shards! He's bleeding profusely, and he'll probably be disfigured. You'll see it on the news tonight…”

Sanada himself couldn't make the decision; he dragged Junko Takanashi into the explanation as well.

Gen Chiya carefully observed Junko's expression. Although her eyes were a little red, she didn't seem that sad.

This is indeed the truth.

After his father finished explaining, he said calmly, "You're hospitalized there and can't come back for now, right? I'll come see you tomorrow and bring you some clothes to change into."

"What are you doing here, a middle school student? We can just buy the clothes and stuff here."

"If you don't let me go, you'll have to figure out how to keep it from Sister Shihua and the others." Yuan Qianye's attitude was very firm.

Genji Sanada stared at him for a long time, and finally nodded helplessly: "How do you explain your sudden departure to Toka and Rikka?"

"I have a way."

"Mr. Yuan, how are you feeling now?"

On the other end of the phone, a doctor came to check on the situation, and Yuan Qianye hung up the phone.

Behind him, Saeko Busujima gently knelt down and said, "That's great, your uncle and aunt are alright."

Yuan Qianye nodded, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

…………

041: A-Meng fell silent.

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. —Forrest Gump

Yuan Qianye's heart was like a roller coaster, experiencing ups and downs in a short period of time.

Heaven knows how much that Mediterranean-looking homeroom teacher wanted to grab a bamboo sword and deliver a jumping slash to his shiny bald head when he was panting heavily!

Thankfully, everything is alright.

After hanging up the phone, Genji Sanada thought about it over and over again and still felt that it was not a good idea.

Yes, that's right, it was his decision to call Qianye first.

He knew his son well; Qianye had been able to take care of himself since elementary school and didn't need his father's help.

He needs to rest in the hospital now, so it's definitely more appropriate to explain the situation to him alone. It's better for one child to worry than for three children to worry together.

However, one thing is one thing, but it's not appropriate for Qianye to come directly to Okinawa to see them.

The distance between Tokyo and Okinawa is so far, and Chiya had never been on a plane before, especially considering that he was only in the first year of junior high school.

No matter how mature he appears, there's always an underlying unease about him.

After thinking it over, Genji Sanada called Genji Chiya after finishing the hospital's nutritious meal that evening, intending to try to persuade him again.

The microphone indicated that the other party's phone was switched off.

Genji Sanada had a bad feeling, and sure enough, three hours later, around 10 p.m.

Yuan Qianye called him, saying that she had arrived in Okinawa and asking which hospital he was in.

"You're too reckless. You didn't even tell me before you left." Genji Sanada scolded his son from his hospital bed, but he was still relieved to know that his son had rushed to his side so quickly because he was worried about him.

When Yuan Qianye arrived at the ward and saw his father's energetic spirit, he knew that he was alright.

However, as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. Before he fully recovers, he can only stay in bed. Even if he wants to go out, he will need to use crutches and a wheelchair.

As for Runzi's mother, when she went to pick him up from the hospital, he had already confirmed on the way that she only had some minor abrasions on her elbows, which would heal smoothly in about a week without leaving any marks.

"I packed some clothes and personal belongings for you and brought them over. Dad, just rest and recuperate during this time. Don't worry about the family. I'll take care of everything."

We told her we had a good time, saying, "You and your mother had a great time in Okinawa, and you rediscovered the feeling of your youth. You wanted to take this hard-won opportunity to relax for a while."

Although the reason is somewhat far-fetched and makes the two adults in the family seem a bit willful, it should be enough to deal with Shika and Rokuka.

After all, they are all sensible children and will be understanding.

Runzi's mother hugged Yuan Qianye: "I'm sorry, Qianye, for making you worry so much."

Yuan Qianye gently patted her back and comforted her softly, "It's alright, Mom. You've had a hard time these past few days. Dad needs your help now."

Genji Sanada watched the tender moment between the mother and son with a silly grin.

As he approaches middle age, he no longer places as much importance on material pursuits; what he cares about most is undoubtedly family and kinship.

"I'm glad to see you're all alright. I'll head back now."

"You're leaving now?"

"There's a flight back to Tokyo at 3 a.m., and I've already booked the ticket. If I go back now, I'll be in time for school tomorrow. I told Toka and Rikka that I'm staying at a friend's house tonight, and they'll be suspicious if I don't show up at school tomorrow."

"..."

Yuan Qianye's sensible and mature behavior once again refreshed his father's understanding of him today.

This also made Runzi's mother, who knew he had been working non-stop for such a short period of time, feel very sorry for him.

Seeing that Yuan Qianye was determined to leave, she insisted on seeing him off to the airport, having a late-night snack with him, and watching him check in and board the plane before leaving.

"Runzi, I truly feel that having a son like Qianye is a blessing I earned in my past life."

"Now he's my son too~"

Back at the hospital, Junko Takanashi peeled an apple, her face full of pride.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

When Yuan Qianye got off the plane, it was past six o'clock. He was still in good spirits and didn't feel too tired.

He was feeling a bit uncomfortable because he hadn't showered all night, but it wasn't appropriate to go back now, so he could only bear with it.

They found a McDonald's, went in, sat down, and ordered a set meal to kill time until around 7 PM. Then, Yuan Qianye went straight to school.

During the last class of the morning, he felt drowsy and couldn't help but yawn.

He simply made an excuse that he was feeling unwell and asked to go to the infirmary to catch up on sleep.

Since Eriri and Rikka started learning kendo a while ago, they haven't been eating lunch with Minamoto Chiya. They always rush to the kendo club as soon as they know he's taking a lunch break.

However, when Haruhara Youhei, who was in the same class as him, ran into the two of them in the cafeteria today, he mentioned that his good friend had asked for leave to go to the infirmary.

This worried the two girls, especially Eriri, who ignored the rule against running in the school corridors and dragged Rikka all the way to the infirmary.

When they arrived at the infirmary, Eriri was about to reach out and pull the door open, but after seeing what was inside through the slightly ajar door, she hesitated and slowly withdrew her hand, placing it against her flat chest where she was panting heavily.

In the infirmary, Gen Chiya sensed something and slowly opened her eyes, immediately meeting Tokushima Saeko's concerned and gentle gaze.
