The words "always" and "familiar" in her speech were slightly emphasized, as if to stress a certain sovereignty.

"Hehe, Kurokawa-san, there's no need to be so nervous. I see that you work very hard taking care of Genkawa-kun every day. It's only right that I share this small matter."

Mai Sakurajima's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes met Akane Kurokawa's gaze, and it felt as if invisible sparks were crackling in the air.

Genkawa Yu usually finds himself caught in the middle, a helpless yet amused expression on his face, trying to smooth things over, "If it really doesn't work, I'll just do it myself. I've been recovering quite well lately..."

"No!" x2

The two women spoke almost simultaneously, then looked at each other again, creating an even more subtle atmosphere.

Sometimes, in such a stalemate, the bowl of soup or the bento box would miraculously end up in the hands of Kato Megumi, who had been quietly observing.

"Kato-san, then...you can do it."

The short-haired girl tilted her head slightly, seemingly a little surprised, but looking at Mai and Akane with their different expressions, she calmly accepted the task and said, "Then let me do it first, the soup won't taste good if it gets cold."

Kato Megumi's actions were without hesitation; in fact, she originally intended to say that she was perfectly capable of doing this kind of work as an artist's assistant, but Kurokawa Akane gave her no chance at all.

So when it's her turn, Kato Megumi can finally give it her all.

Her movements were so natural, like completing a daily task, spoonful by spoonful, at the perfect temperature, at a steady pace, that the tension from the earlier confrontation inexplicably dissipated.

Mai Sakurajima and Akane Kurokawa looked at her, always falling into a strange silence.

In this way, the right to feed the children changed hands among the three in a subtle way, becoming a special scene in the daily life of this ward.

On the other hand, the days spent recuperating were not entirely isolated from the world.

Occasionally, when she is feeling well, Yu Minakawa will pick up her phone, log into her Twitter account (which now has over a million followers), and post updates about her life.

His tweets are usually very concise, sometimes accompanied by pictures of a corner of the sky outside the window, sometimes of a ceramic puppy on the bedside table, and sometimes of today's lunch, etc.

These everyday moments were naturally welcomed by fans, and everyone's replies were very heartwarming.

"Yu-kun, get some rest!"

"Waiting for you to come back!"

"Looking forward to Yu-kun's return, waiting for your [Arisu Ryohei]."

These sporadic updates kept the buzz going and reassured those anxiously awaiting his return. They learned through various channels that he was recovering, and their anticipation grew even stronger, coalescing into an invisible wave of voices that silently surged in the ocean of the internet.

Time, just like that, quietly slipped into the depths of winter.

As the first month of my convalescence was drawing to a close, one morning, the ward welcomed an unexpected yet perfectly logical visitor.

Suo Shun arrived with an air of travel weariness.

He wore a well-tailored dark coat, his face still handsome, but a sense of urgency, rarely seen before, was shrouded in his brows. Behind him followed a young man who looked like an assistant, carrying a briefcase, probably his helper.

Suo Hayabusa's appearance brought a somber atmosphere to the ward, and Kurokawa Akane and Kato Megumi, who were standing nearby, stopped what they were doing.

Genkawa Yu didn't seem surprised. He nodded to Suo Hayato and then said gently to Kurokawa Akane and Kato Megumi, "Kurokawa, Kato-san, could you please go outside and rest for a while? I have something I'd like to discuss with Mr. Suo privately."

"Okay, let's go sit in the coffee shop downstairs."

A hint of doubt flashed in Kurokawa Akane's eyes, but seeing Minamoto Yu's calm yet firm gaze, she nodded obediently and left the ward with Kato Inuki and Kato Erei.

The door closed gently.

Suo Shun gestured for his assistant to wait outside the door. He walked to the bedside, carefully examined Genkawa Yu's complexion, and his tense expression eased slightly.

"Mr. Yuanchuan, you seem to be recovering well. How is your arm?"

"It's alright, the bone takes time to heal, but it doesn't hurt as much anymore. Thank you for your concern."

Genkawa Yu gestured for him to sit down. "Mr. Suoh's visit today seems to be more than just a simple visit to see a sick person. (II) Just σ柒流尹陕把δV I"

Suoh Hayabusa's face showed a expression that was not quite a smile: "That's true. Time waits for no one, especially my time."

He took a deep breath, leaned forward slightly, and lowered his voice, revealing a strong sense of seriousness. "My elder brother, Shogo Suoh, has already made his move. He has directly acquired a small film production company—Cloud Pictures."

Genkawa Yu's eyes flickered slightly as he listened quietly.

"Although that company is not large, it has a strong ability to create original content and should not be underestimated."

Suoh Shun emphasized, "Two years ago, they produced a dark horse film with a box office of over 3 billion yen with a very low budget! The team was already in place and had proven their excellent abilities. My older brother has taken this step quickly and ruthlessly, and he has already seized the initiative."

"Is this a competition?"

Genkawa Yu quickly understood what he meant. Since Suoh Hayato explained his older brother's actions, it meant that the two of them were now openly fighting for the right of succession.

The air in the ward seemed to stagnate because of the gunpowder smell in Suoh Hayato's words.

"Father... will officially step down as president at the end of next year."

Suoh Hayabusa looked at Genkawa Yu with sharp eyes, "I only have one year left at most. I have to start preparing in advance. I can't wait for your TV series to be released before starting the movie project. I need something that I can immediately present with enough substance to build a team, to persuade investors, and to create momentum!"

His gaze was intense, fixed on Genkawa Yu, making no attempt to conceal his ambition.

"Mr. Yuanchuan, our last collaboration has fully demonstrated your ability and my sincerity. So, how's that movie script you mentioned before? I need it, right now!"

Genkawa Yu paused for a moment, seemingly assessing the urgency and determination in Suo Hayabusa's words.

After a while, he slowly operated the laptop, opened a folder, and turned the screen towards Zhou Fangjun.

"The first draft is complete; the subsequent revisions are mostly about polishing the details," he said calmly. "Mr. Suoh can take a look first."

Zhou Fangjun immediately leaned closer to the screen, almost holding his breath, and began to read quickly and attentively.

The only sounds in the ward were his swiping on the touchpad and his occasional heavy breathing.

As time passed, Suoh Shun's expression gradually shifted from initial urgency and scrutiny to immersion and focus. His brows furrowed and relaxed intermittently, and his fingertips would even pause unconsciously when reading certain passages.

As the second son of Fumio Suo, Shun Suo received an elite education from a young age and was himself a graduate of the University of Tokyo. He naturally understood what kind of literary works were good.

The story of "Love Like a Bouquet" has no earth-shattering plot twists or deliberately sentimental melodramatic scenes. It simply uses a delicate and almost tender touch to depict the encounter and resonance of two souls, like two books placed side by side, with a lot of similar and synchronized content.

It depicts the warm daily moments shared together, the silent growth of tacit understanding, and the subtle yet clear cracks that appear when reality quietly erodes ideals.

Flowers eventually fade, so let us bid a peaceful farewell with smiles and tears.

It's about love, but even more about growth, and how to find the courage to move forward while cherishing the memories of what's lost.

This story, though not dramatic, is like a cup of warm water, slowly seeping into people's hearts, enough to evoke the deepest resonance and melancholy.

About an hour later, Suoh Hayabusa finally raised his head and let out a long sigh of relief.

After reading the story, his eyes finally lit up with a bright light, as if he had found a treasure.

“Mr. Genkawa…” Suoh Hayato’s tone turned serious, and his ambition resurfaced. “I knew I hadn’t misjudged him.”

He slapped his knee hard, his emotions running high.

"This is it! This is exactly the feeling I need! Something that touches people's hearts, leaves a lasting impression, and sparks discussion! It's not a popcorn movie, but it has the potential to become a hot topic, even... an award winner!"

The young chaebol's second son suddenly stood up, paced back and forth a couple of times, and then decisively waved to his assistant who was waiting outside the door.

The assistant immediately came in, opened the briefcase, and took out two documents.

"This is the highest level of confidentiality agreement."

Suo Shun handed the document to Genkawa Yu, his tone leaving no room for argument, "After we sign the confidentiality agreement, I need to immediately make an electronic copy of the original, and then have my team evaluate it as quickly as possible and develop a detailed production and promotion plan!"

Genkawa Yu carefully reviewed the terms of the agreement, and after confirming that everything was correct, he signed his name.

Suo Shun quickly signed his name, and each party kept a copy.

Zhu Tuo x Yin I Qi Yi Si Si Ba Li carefully copied the electronic version of the script using his portable computer and then strictly encrypted it.

"As for publicity and promotion... let's start right after the New Year holiday!"

Suoh Hayabusa's mind was clearly racing with a plan, his eyes gleaming with the shrewdness of a businessman and the excitement of a creator.

"How about calling it... 'Mr. Genkawa's Second Move: A Movie Script Created in a Hospital Ward'? That title will definitely generate more discussion, creating buzz and drawing attention to you—it'll have it all! Then I can have the team release preview chapters that don't involve the core plot, whetting the audience's appetite!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and then clapped his hands and laughed.

"Once you finish filming the first season of 'Alice in the Land of the Dying'... we'll immediately announce the movie project! We'll directly announce the male and female leads!"

As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at the direction of the ward door, clearly hinting at Akane Kurokawa, since Yuu Genkawa had mentioned wanting Akane Kurokawa to be the female lead.

"I need you to recover as soon as possible, Mr. Genkawa."

Suo Hayabusa stared intently at Genkawa Yu's face and said, word by word.

"The TV series is ending, and the movie will immediately follow! Next year will be our most crucial year!"

"As long as I can beat you, Big Brother, I'll be your strongest support from now on!"

After quickly explaining a few more details about team coordination and follow-up arrangements, Zhou Fangjun left with his assistant in a swift and efficient manner, just as he had arrived.

After a while, Akane Kurokawa and Megumi Kato returned.

Kato Megumi remained calm, while Kurokawa Akane looked at Genkawa Yu with a questioning gaze.

Genkawa Yu smiled at her and waved his hand, indicating that nothing had happened.

As evening fell, Kato Megumi went downstairs to buy food, leaving only Genkawa Yu and Kurokawa Akane in the ward.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window, bathing the room in a warm orange-yellow hue.

"Mr. Suo... are you here to discuss something very important?"

As Kurokawa Akane carefully adjusted the back of the hospital bed for Genkawa Yu, she asked softly.

"Ah."

Yuan Chuanyou gazed at the setting sun gradually sinking outside the window and nodded.

"It's about a film project for next year, and he can't wait."

Is it "Love Like a Bouquet"?

Akane Kurokawa's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Yu Minakawa's computer, remembering their earlier agreement.

Genkawa Yu turned his head to look at her, his gaze appearing exceptionally gentle in the setting sun.

"Yes, and it's a very important project. Not only do we need to bring the story to life, but we also need to carefully craft its strengths. It might be very tiring."

Akane Kurokawa immediately felt a surge of heat rise in her heart, accompanied by immense anticipation and a touch of nervousness.

There are also her own unique aspirations.

For Akane Kurokawa, being able to film a romance movie with Yu Genkawa was a dream come true.
