In the anime series, Goto Ichiri is actually my childhood sweetheart?

Ryoko assured Goto Ichiri, and the two chatted for a while about other things.

Not long after, Gaoqiao Feng came back with food.

He moved the bedside table to the middle to use as a table, put the food on it, and then filled the rice with vegetables for Ryoko, who was having trouble sitting on the bed.

"Enough is enough, I can't eat so much."

"You eat first. It doesn't matter if there's leftovers. If it's not enough, just add more. You can eat as much as you want in Yili. Don't be polite. I don't need to tell you about this."

Gao Qiaofeng broke the disposable chopsticks for everyone, handed them to each person, said "I'm starting", and then started eating.

"It's not as delicious as Xiao Feng's."

Ryoko Rencai put the rice into her mouth and sighed.

"It's a pity that you won't be able to eat such delicious meals as mine in the future. The doctor told me before that I should avoid heavy oils and salts, spicy food, and cold food. If Yili or other guests come over, the dishes may have to be put on two plates. One light plate is for you, and the other one is for us to eat."

Takahashi Kaede said this while shaking his head, as if he felt sorry for Ryoko not being able to eat delicious food for a long time to come.

Ryoko felt like she was struck by lightning and couldn't accept the news for a while.

"The doctor said how long it will last. I can't just keep my mouth shut all the time!"

She has been eating Takahashi Kaede's food for many years, and her taste buds can only recognize the characteristic heavy oily smell of Takahashi Kaede. It would be too cruel to ask her to make some improvements suddenly.

"It will take at least a month. It won't be long. But even if you recover, I won't be able to cook such heavy meals for you. This is really not good. It's better to cook lighter meals. The heavy fumes should be borne by us young people."

"why is it like this!"

Ryoko felt like crying but had no tears, but for the sake of her health, she had no choice but to be obedient.

"Aunt Ryoko has a separate dish. It looks like she's eating Western food, one portion per person."

"Isn't Western food in Japan normal? It's weird to always put a bunch of dishes in the middle and let everyone take them like I do."

Gao Qiaofeng felt a little confused.

"Xiao Feng."

"what happened?"

"I like you."

After saying this in one breath, Goto Ichiri immediately closed his eyes and waited quietly for Takahashi Kaede's reaction.

The reason why she agreed to Ryoko's ridiculous request was actually because she was a little curious.

Although she felt that Xiao Feng would definitely not agree, she still wanted to know what Xiao Feng's reaction would be and how Xiao Feng viewed her.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

It seemed like nothing happened. Goto Ichiri opened his eyes in confusion and found that Takahashi Kaede was still eating.

Although it seemed as if nothing had happened, he tried to pick up a dish for a long time but failed, so in the end he just took a mouthful of rice.

"...If you can still say that in high school...I'll tell you what I think."

Goto Ichiri widened his eyes in disbelief, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"Xiao Feng, you...are blushing?!"

Just like tiger scientists learning to act like a cat, Tyson learning to act cute like a cute girl, and Takahashi Kaede blushing, the degree of incredulity of these things is as equal to the above two.

But the fact now is that Gaoqiao Feng's cheeks turned slightly red, and an embarrassed look appeared on his handsome but usually cold face.

"What do you care? Eat your meal!"

Seemingly a little annoyed, Takahashi Feng urged, trying to change the subject.

But Goto Ichiri still stared at his face, and no matter which way he turned, Goto Ichiri's gaze would move over there.

"Oh, Xiao Feng is shy, so cute."

Ryoko couldn't help but tease that she had never seen Takahashi Kaede like this before.

"What's so strange? I'm just a normal young man, not an old man. I would definitely blush if someone told me I like someone!"

Seeing that the two men didn't want to let him go, Takahashi Feng argued loudly.

"But you didn't blush when Tanaka said he liked you..."

Chapter 79 Love

"That's because I'm prepared... Really, it must be Ryoko who asked you to play a prank on her. How could you have the guts to ask such an embarrassing question?"

"Oops, I've been discovered." Ryoko hit her head with her fist and stuck out her tongue, trying to act stupid and cute to get away with it.

Gao Qiaofeng ignored the two of them and started eating in silence.

Because he knew that the more he explained, the more trouble he would get into.

Just like when you are accused of stealing, the more excited and specific your explanation is, the more the person who lost the item will remember you, and eventually suspect you when they can't find it.

Sometimes the best approach is to give it the cold shoulder.

What's more, it is impossible for him, a man who has lived for almost forty years in two lifetimes and has never experienced anything, to explain this kind of thing clearly.

Looking up at Goto Ichiri, she was also blushing and eating in silence.

I always feel that she eats more quietly than usual, picking up the rice with chopsticks and taking small bites, which is completely different from the way she wolfs down the food at KFC.

Come to think of it, if I were to talk about who I like, I would definitely like Goto Ichiri.

After all, she is so stupid that she needs to be taught by herself to do everything. She is not good at talking to strangers and she is born with super social phobia.

Takahashi Feng quietly felt his own heartbeat, heavy and powerful, but the difference was that it was half a minute faster than usual, as if some kind of magical emotional energy was affecting him.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s liking, but in fact it’s not an exaggeration to regard this feeling as love.

The dimensions of love he understands are diverse, and its basic characteristics are care, concern, and sharing of honor and disgrace.

He would be sad when Ryoko was sick, and he would feel happy when Ryoko was happy, so he loved Ryoko.

And Goto Ichiri's every move is also guiding his heart forward. Since he met her in kindergarten, he has to consider her extra when doing anything, including going to school, eating, and going out to play. Even when he turns on the computer or the game platform at home, the first thing he does is to see if the familiar avatar lights up.

Why are gamblers deeply addicted to gambling and unable to extricate themselves? Apart from the fatal dream of wanting to get rich overnight, the main reason is that they have invested too much in this game.

All these invested chips turned into sunk costs, locking him firmly into the gambling game.

Maybe it's the same with Takahashi Kaede. The more he gives, the more he cares, and the more he cares, the more he gives, and in the end, he is deeply trapped and unable to extricate himself.

But humans are the most lustful animals. After they give privately, they will naturally demand rewards from others. But the fact is that what they see as real is that those precious efforts may not be worth caring about in the eyes of others.

Takahashi Feng understood this truth, so he said, "If you still ask this question in high school, I will give you a definite answer." In a way, he is even more cowardly than Goto Ichiri.

He didn't even give this childhood sweetheart who grew up with him a bit of confidence, and he hid in the sand castle he built, not daring to stick his head out.

After dinner, Takahashi Feng cleaned up the leftover garbage, sat with Ryoko for a while, and then prepared to send Goto Ichiri home.

He himself would definitely stay here to accompany Ryoko, but it was inconvenient for Goto Ichiri to stay here, whether for taking a shower or going to school tomorrow.

He can ask for leave because Ryoko is his relative, but how can Goto Ichiri ask for leave? Is it also because of his relative?

So it is specified that you cannot stay here.

After Takahashi Kaede's easy persuasion, Goto Ichiri agreed to go home.

"I want to come see Ryoko tomorrow, too. Is that okay?"

On the way back, Goto Ichiri asked this.

"Ryoko will be discharged tomorrow. You can come anytime you want. Don't be stupid enough to go to the hospital and find out that all the beds are empty."

"Ryoko can be discharged from the hospital so soon?" Goto Ichiri asked in surprise.

"Well, although the reason for hospitalization was terrible, it was timely, so no serious consequences were caused. This time it can be said to be a blessing in disguise, thanks to the sister in Ryoko's unit who performed CPR on her in time."

Takahashi Kaede said this very calmly, but Goto Ichiri felt a little numb after hearing it.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a term that we often hear in some education classes in school. But when it is actually used on the loved ones around us, it embodies the unbearable pain of life.

"Okay, we're at your house, go home, I'm going back to the hospital."

When they arrived at Goto's house, Takahashi Kaede stopped.

"Well, goodbye, Xiaofeng."

Halfway through the walk, Goto Ichiri suddenly turned around.

"Xiao Feng, you haven't seen my sister yet."

"Hmm? Oh, it seems like you told me that a long time ago."

Takahashi Kaede was stopped by Goto Ichiri. After hearing her words, she thought for a while and then remembered what Goto Ichiri said on the train before.

"This summer... do you want to come to my house to play? My sister is called Erli, she's very cute! And I feel like you, Xiaofeng, haven't come to my house to play for a long time..."

Since both of them are very stay-at-home types, they communicate online after school and rarely go to each other's homes to play.

"Okay, of course. We'll definitely go to more than just your house. We can discuss the itinerary later. Why don't we just go out and have some fun after such a long time?"

Takahashi Feng thought of the guitar and felt that this was a good opportunity.

"If it's Xiao Feng - well, let's go out for a walk during the summer vacation!"

"Don't talk like you're struggling so much, be happy, we're going out to play."

He gently scratched the tip of Goto Ichiri's nose, and the two smiled at each other.

Gao Qiaofeng turned around, raised his right hand slightly to signal, and then disappeared into the night.

"That's enough..."

Goto Ichiri thought to himself and opened the door with the key.

With the sound of the doorknob turning gently, Takahashi Kaede returned to the ward where Ryoko was. After greeting Ryoko, he lay down on the empty bed next to her.

He is a boy and the hospital has air conditioning, so it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t take a shower for a day, as he will be going home tomorrow anyway.

"Did you have a safe journey? Did you encounter any problems?"

"It's okay. I just discussed with Yili about going out to play during the summer vacation. Now I'm thinking about what to do."

Takahashi Feng put his arms under his head, looking very distressed.

He actually doesn't care what he does when he goes out to play, because he always thinks staying at home is more fun than being outside, so the focus of the activities is on whether they can train Goto Ichiri's social phobia. Too many people and too much stimulation won't work, and independent small spaces like Internet cafes and comic book cafes with almost no stimulation won't work either.

"How about the Test of Courage in Sendai?" Ryoko suggested.

"It turns out that this kind of thing is not only offered by schools?" Gao Qiaofeng looked confused.

Chapter 80: The Apprentice Teaches the Master

"How could that be? The most formal activities of this kind must be organized by the local government."

Ryoko was very confused about what Takahashi Kaede said.

"Don't surf the Internet every day. See more of the world. You can ask such common sense questions. Also, I see that your eyesight is getting worse. You really need to look at electronic products less. Your eyesight is not good to begin with, and you are staring at your phone and computer every day."

"Ah, the Test of Courage Contest, I really want to go~~~"

Gao Qiaofeng chose to play dumb.

But this was indeed a good choice. He turned over in bed and took out his cell phone.

[How about the Test of Courage Contest in Sendai? You and I will go then. ]

After sending the message to Goto Ichiri, he closed his eyes and rested, and soon he received a reply.

[Okay, should we call a few more people? I think I’ll be scared.]

[Then let's call Eriri and ask her at school in a few days. Daigo can also ask her.]

[Good~]

What the hell is Hao Nie?

It feels like I'm surfing the Internet intensively every night.

After putting down the phone, Gao Qiaofeng felt a slight pain in his temple. He pinched it with his fingers to relieve it slightly.

What happened today is of great significance in his entire life.

Hearing the even breathing of Ryoko next door, Takahashi Feng tiptoed to turn off the lights, lay back on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
