They all pushed me!

Mr. Izaki answered calmly.

The car slowly stopped and was about to reach its destination.

It was a little earlier than the scheduled time, which was also Beichuan Liang's decision.

He put on a hat to cover his face, turned up the collar of his clothes, tried his best to hide his face, and walked into the hospital like an ordinary child who followed his grandfather to see a doctor.

When passing by a ward with an open door, Beichuan Ryo caught a glimpse of the small alarm clock with his own pattern printed on it on the bedside table. The patient sitting on the bed was wearing a knitted hat and his gender could not be seen clearly. On the quilt in front of him were several huge promotional posters and stills, and the protagonist on them was also Beichuan Ryo.

The other party seemed to have picked out a poster he liked and put the remaining posters into the poster tube with some difficulty, but in the process, a breeze blew the carefully selected poster down and it fell to the ground.

Picking it up is something that even a three or four-year-old child can easily accomplish, but the person on the hospital bed seems unable to do it.

The other person was slowly moving his legs out from under the quilt.

Beichuan Liang walked into the ward himself, picked up the poster on the ground and handed it to the other party.

"Ah...thank you."

Tendouji Sarana thanked her in surprise, but she immediately noticed that the pupils of the boy who helped her reflected her shadow as bright as stars.

The girl looked at the poster in her hand with some disbelief. It was a promotional still from Kitagawa Ryo's debut work, Hamlet. Next to the vengeful prince 'Hamlet' were printed famous lines from the play:

[He is the eyes of courtiers, the tongue of scholars, the sharp sword of soldiers, a delicate flower that the country pays attention to, a mirror of the times, a model of human relations, and the center of world attention.]

This is a poem written by Ophelia, Hamlet's lover in the play, praising her lover. It is also the best description of Ryo Kitagawa who plays Hamlet in Sarina Tendoji's mind.

"cold?"

Tendouji Sarana opened her eyes wide in disbelief and suddenly leaned her head forward. The violent movement caused the knitted hat on her head to fall off.

What was exposed was the bare skin left after chemotherapy, ugly as a tree root...

But Beichuan Liang quickly caught the hat the next second. There was a small exquisite decoration on the brim, which seemed to be the last bit of his love for beauty.

He put the hat back on the other person's head and put his hand to his lips, gesturing for him to speak more quietly.

"so cute."

Beichuan Liang spoke softly, his gentle voice like lukewarm syrup.

Chapter 2: The last bit of warmth

"Tendoji...Sarina, can I call you Sarina?"

After finding the other person's name on the medical record at the foot of the bed, Beichuan Liang asked politely.

"Of course no problem! You can call me whatever you want!"

Even though several minutes had passed, Tendoji Sarana still couldn't calm herself down. She opened her eyes wide, and her round appearance easily reminded people of a cat.

Even if one spends a lot of money to buy the innermost seats, I'm afraid no other fan can get as close to Kitagawa Ryo as she does.

After all, Kitagawa Ryo debuted in the entertainment industry as a drama actor, and unlike the traditional idol industry, he does not carry out various offline activities, such as meet-and-greet sessions or handshake sessions. In Tendouji Sarina's impression, these interactions are quite rare.

Beichuan Ryoya smiled and looked at this loyal fan he met in the hospital. Although the age indicated on the medical record was twelve, due to the long-term illness, the girl in front of him was quite thin, almost the same as Beichuan Ryoya. Except for a pair of big watery eyes, there were no secondary sexual characteristics of a girl. This was why Beichuan Ryoya didn't tell the other person's gender at first.

"I heard from the doctor at noon. Is Liang here to film in our hospital?"

Tendouji Sarana blinked and asked expectantly.

“We will indeed take some shots here.”

Beichuan Liang nodded, and he turned his head to look at the lush forest outside the window:

"The scenery here is really beautiful, and it's completely different from Tokyo."

“My father and mother work in central Tokyo.”

Hearing Kitagawa Ryo talking about Tokyo, Tendouji Sarana also raised her head with pride, but immediately pouted and complained in a low voice:

"It's just that... you rarely come to see me."

Beichuan Liang glanced at the configuration of the ward and soon noticed the installed desktop computer and the independent bathroom, and said to himself:

"This situation is quite common in Sarina."

"Ok?"

Tilting her head in confusion, Tendoji Sarina didn't seem to understand what Kitagawa Ryo said, so Kitagawa Ryo supported his chin and added:

"I've been in other hospitals before. Once I was in a small hospital in the countryside. Six people lived in one ward. There was no private bathroom like this."

"There is only one bathroom on each floor, and it's at the end of the corridor, opposite the doctor's office on duty. By the way, the trash can is also there."

"If there are many patients, beds will be placed in the corridors."

Kitagawa Ryo sniffed. There was no pungent smell of disinfectant in the entire ward. Combined with what Tendouji Sarana said, it seemed that the medical conditions her parents provided for her were not bad.

"In fact, the whole corridor smells terrible, a mixed smell. But neither the patients nor the doctors care much, and there is no way to care. I even saw a doctor on duty sitting at the door of his office in the middle of the night and eating instant noodles."

"But I didn't hear of anyone getting sick from it until I left there, except for occasional stiff necks from sleeping on the desk in the office."

Although Tendouji Sarina felt that Kitagawa Ryo's words with such a scent were somewhat inconsistent with the other party's identity, it was undeniable that she found it very interesting.

Beichuan Liang once won the title of 'Can make everyone in front of the TV laugh in ten seconds' in a variety show. Compared with other strange titles, this is Beichuan Liang's favorite one.

He looked at Sarina who smiled because of his words, and he felt satisfied.

But soon, Tendoji Sarina felt melancholy again:

"But I still hope that my mother can come to see me more often and stay with me."

From the time she was admitted to the hospital until now, except for communicating with the young intern, most of the time, Tendoji Sarana could only stay in the ward in silence, like a bird in a cage.

The difference between a frog in a well and a bird in a cage is that the latter knows the vastness of the world.

"I don't know what kind of people Sarina's parents are, so it's hard for me to comment too much."

Kitagawa Ryo saw that Tendouji Sarana was quite interested in his life on and off the stage, so he simply continued the previous topic and tried to make the other party happier.

“But I’ve met a lot of other moms.”

"Also for this drama, I stayed in about four hospitals, and met many other patients' mothers during that time."

"There are 20-year-olds who come to see the doctor holding their children, 30-year-olds who come to see the doctor holding their children, 50-year-olds who come to see the doctor supported by their children, and even 60-year-olds."

Beichuan Liang said in a storytelling tone:

"It's just a 60-year-old daughter helping her 80-year-old mother to see a doctor for her stomach."

"The mother liked to eat melon seeds, so the daughter used her dentures to help her mother peel the seeds. The old woman didn't like wearing dentures, saying it was uncomfortable. It didn't seem like she was eating, but rather she was feeding the dentures."

"After peeling a handful of them, she would use her last two teeth to slowly grind them. One piece would last her a long time."

Kitagawa Ryo imitated the old lady's tone perfectly, and Tendouji Sarina imagined the scene and couldn't help laughing.

"Because there were no beds for accompanying family members in the ward, some mothers slept on the floor in the corner. But as more people moved into the ward, there wasn't enough space on the floor, so they put two chairs together to sleep. Later, as more people moved in, there was only space for one chair left."

Beichuan Liang leaned back on the chair with his legs crossed:

"Like this, sleeping against the wall."

"But most of them hired professional care."

"There was an old man whose children came to visit him at eight o'clock every morning, but they only stayed for a short while, about when the tea leaves of the new tea brewed for them had sunk one-third of the way down. Sometimes they would take a symbolic sip, and sometimes not."

"Later, the old man stopped letting the nurse prepare tea, saying it was a waste. He bought two cartons of strawberry milk and put a bottle with a straw in it every morning. His little grandson liked to drink it, but his mother was afraid that he would get cavities, so he could only drink it openly every morning when he came to see his grandfather."

Tendouji Sarina listened to these story-like narrations with great interest. She propped up her face and said:

"The movie that Liang is starring in this time will definitely be good."

Just by listening to Kitagawa Ryo's narration, Tendouji Sarana could imagine how enthusiastically this boy she singled out was treating his work, but her face immediately darkened again:

"It's just that I can't support Liang right away."

Given Tendoji Sarana's current physical condition, the hospital would definitely not agree to let her leave the ward, let alone go to the cinema.

"It's okay. When the movie is officially released, I will personally give you a copy of the disc."

Beichuan Liang smiled and waved his hand.

"Don't be so quick to refuse. I need to trouble Sarina myself these few days."

At this point, Beichuan Liang paused hesitantly:

"If possible, I hope to live in the same ward with Sarina for the next few days."

Tendouji Sarana, who thought Kitagawa Ryo would make some strange requests, never expected the other party to make such a request. She even wondered if she had heard it wrong.

Sariina Tendouji looked outside the ward in confusion, feeling that photographers and guests would rush in at the next second, holding big signs saying "Prank Successful" in their hands.

However, the photographers and guests did not show up. Instead, a young doctor in a white coat flashed in, muttering:

"I'm so tired, so tired. Let me touch you for a while, Sarina. Then..."

Before Amemiya Goro could finish his words, he saw Kitagawa Ryo sitting on a chair beside Tendouji Sarina's bed. Because he had taken off his hat, he immediately recognized this child star whom he had seen in the documents this morning. He scratched his cheek in surprise and confusion:

"Eh? Didn't you say you'd arrive at three o'clock?"

"You must be Dr. Amamiya here. Nice to meet you. I'll be sorry to bother you in the future."

However, Beichuan Liang stood up and greeted first, and his etiquette was impeccable.

"It's really Kitagawa Ryo."

Goro Amemiya looked outside nervously for a few times, and after making sure that no one else was paying attention to this place, he quickly closed the open door of the ward.

Kitagawa Ryo also took this opportunity to take a look at Amemiya Goro. He was probably in his twenties, with a clear face, wearing a pair of square-framed glasses. He had the obvious air of a student who had just transitioned into society. Overall, the first impression he left on him was not a bad one.

Because of Miyazaki Prefecture's natural scenery and the need to attract investment, this movie reserved a supporting role for Miyazaki Prefecture's hospital. However, as the director of this movie prefers a semi-documentary style of real narrative, he prefers to directly find a ready-made young doctor to act as an actor.

Of course, the more important reason is that this character only has a few scenes.

It is probably a character called a supporting role but is actually a minor role. His main role is to be used as evidence in the behind-the-scenes footage to thank the local hospital in Miyazaki Prefecture for its strong support for the film.

On the way here, Kitagawa Ryo already knew that Goro Amemiya would play this role, and had also seen his photo, so he recognized him immediately.

Goro Amemiya didn't think he was an avid fanatic, and even if he had to, he wouldn't be interested in child stars of the same sex. But after all, he had just seen the other party's exaggerated resume in the morning. Now, seeing Kitagawa Ryo chatting happily with Tendouji Sarana without any airs, he naturally had a better impression of Kitagawa Ryo.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just a newcomer."

Goro Amemiya touched the back of his head as he spoke. He had never thought that he would be involved in the entertainment industry one day, and he still couldn't recover from it.

"Doctor Goro is going to act too?"

Tendoji Sarana, who was listening attentively at the side, opened her eyes wide. She had only heard the news about Kitagawa Ryo's coming from Amemiya Goro and had no idea about this.

"Haha... I was surprised myself. Maybe I was forced into this."

"Don't worry, just do your job. Doctor Goro is a doctor after all."

"Although it's obstetrics and gynecology..."

Amamiya Goro added this sentence himself, and said with a melancholy look on his face:

"In fact, I have always wanted to be a surgeon, and I have watched many TV dramas of this kind, such as "Doctor Goto's Clinic" and "White Tower". At that time, my favorite was "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon" by Miyuki Nakajima. I dreamed that one day I would be able to ride (hold) a silver dragon (scalpel)."

But Amamiya Goro quickly waved his hand:

"Don't say anymore, that's all in the past."

Then he raised his head and pointed in the direction of Tendouji Sarina:

"Speaking of which, we have another loyal fan of yours here."

"When I first met Sarina, he introduced you to me."

"That's really a great favor."

Beichuan Liang smiled and shook his head. He glanced at Tendouji Sariina, then turned his gaze to Amamiya Goro and stated his proposal:

"I'd like to add an extra bed in this ward, is that okay?"

"If Sarana agrees... the hospital..."

Although Amamiya Goro didn't know Kitagawa Ryo's intention, he still seriously considered the feasibility, but immediately Tendouji Sarina raised her hand:

"I have no objection!"

The little girl's eyes are simply sparkling.

"We also need the consent of her guardian. After all, they paid for a single room at the time."

"I will ask someone to negotiate with them on this matter."

"Then it should be fine."
