They all pushed me!

Goro Amemiya nodded. Kitagawa Ryo and Tendouji Sarana were just two children. It was normal for boys and girls to live together in the children's ward. Besides, the whole hospital was keeping an eye on this place, so it should be feasible to give them the green light all the way.

After getting the answer from Amemiya Goro, Kitagawa Ryo nodded to Mr. Izaki who was standing in the corner. The latter immediately understood and walked out of the ward while talking on the phone, preparing to contact Tendoji Sarina's guardian.

What Sarina Tendouji didn't expect was that about only three minutes later, Mr. Izaki walked in again and was about to speak to Kitagawa Ryo, but Kitagawa Ryo stood up first, grabbed Mr. Izaki's arm and dragged him out.

It only took such a short period of time, and Tendoji Sarana himself had not received any calls or text messages inquiring about the matter. He basically knew the attitude of the other party's parents.

In this case, it is better not to let the other party hear some things.

Mr. Izaki also came to his senses at this time and understood Beichuan Liang's intention. He leaned over and whispered to Beichuan Liang:

"They've agreed to it."

"I just said that there aren't enough children's wards in the hospital, and I hope to add an extra bed in your daughter's ward... At this point, the other party already said "hmmmm" to indicate that he understood.

"In the end, I just urged the hospital to remember to refund part of the hospitalization fee."

"As expected."

Kitagawa Ryo spread his hands. He had left his daughter in a hospital in Miyazaki Prefecture without hiring professional care. Judging from what Tendouji Sarina said just now, they had very little contact on a daily basis. It would be better to say that this perfunctory attitude was an expected result.

Even Kitagawa Ryo herself doubted that if there was any emergency in Tiantong Temple one day, her parents might not be willing to rush over.

Even from the conditions of Sarina Tendouji's ward and the fact that both of them worked in central Tokyo, it could be seen that the financial situation of the Tendouji family was quite good, even enough for Sarina Tendouji to buy him a lot of limited edition peripherals.

Even if you fly from Tokyo to Miyazaki it only takes ninety minutes.

Beichuan Liang folded his hands, pressed his lips into a line, and uttered a few words through the gap:

"I don't know much about medicine. Are Sarana's symptoms serious? That anaplastic astrocytoma."

“Not optimistic.”

Mr. Izaki shook his head, looked at the beautiful natural scenery outside the window and said:

"Besides, Liang also knows that if there is really hope, she will never be thrown into a place like Miyazaki. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the medical conditions here are not as good as those in Tokyo."

Kitagawa Ryo remained silent. He knew very well what Mr. Izaki meant.

Miyazaki's medical facilities are certainly not as good as Tokyo's. To be honest, the only thing that is newer than Tokyo is the superior natural environment such as "Hyuga Country", "forest coverage rate of 76", and "tourist destination".

Thinking of the desktop computers and various peripherals in the ward, Beichuan Ryo smiled self-deprecatingly.

This does seem like the last bit of warmth.

Chapter 3: Can children have hearts?

For Sarina Tendouji, everything that had happened so far today seemed like a dream. When she opened her eyes drowsily, a new bed had been moved in to the left side of her bed, and the boy lying on it was browsing his mobile phone.

After noticing that Tendouji Sariina had woken up, Kitagawa Ryo also put away his phone and took the initiative to greet her with a smile:

"woke up?"

"From today on, we'll have to be neighbors for a while."

As he spoke, Beichuan Liang also winked playfully, with a heart-pounding arc on the corner of his mouth:

"My name is Beichuan Liang, please give me your guidance in the future."

"My...my name is Tendoji Sarana! Please...give me your guidance."

Tendouji Sarana also responded seriously. Although the words were a little unfamiliar because she had spent most of her life in the hospital ward, she still stammered and continued Kitagawa Ryo's words.

After this self-introduction, not only did Tendouji Sarina feel that she and Kitagawa Ryo had become closer, but it could also be said that from the very beginning when they met, Kitagawa Ryo had never put on airs, whether to her or Amemiya Goro.

“Come to think of it, I still don’t know why Sarina became my fan.”

Kitagawa Ryo asked this with great interest. According to the data compiled by Mr. Izaki last month, 55% of his fan base are women over the age of 30, which can be called a killer of women in every sense of the word.

Twelve-year-old fans like Sarina Tendouji are really rare.

"Because I think Liang is amazing. He's younger than me, but he seems to know everything..."

Tendouji Sarana answered without hesitation, but immediately lowered her head in embarrassment:

"But I'm not an old fan. I only noticed Liang when I was watching the monthly drama last year. Then I watched "Home Alone" starring Liang, and I fell in love with it."

Saying something like "I like you" in front of the main character, Tendouji Sarina was a little shy at first, but as she spoke, she became more and more confident, and recalled with her index finger on her lips:

"Maybe they are just too busy. Maybe they didn't forget you, they just forgot to think of you..."

"For quite a while, I really liked and believed this line in the movie."

Sarina Tendoji is not a fool. She is certainly aware of her family's attitude towards her, but she can only choose to obediently follow all their arrangements and finally come to Miyazaki Prefecture.

After a long silence, Tendouji Sarana finally spoke again with longing:

"If I could be reincarnated, I would like to be like Liang. He is younger than me, but he is good at everything and is so gentle."

"It would be great if my parents were also in the entertainment industry, so I could perform on stage with Liang."

She turned her head slightly to look at the poster she had placed on the bedside table and added:

"By that day, the names of both actors will probably be printed side by side on the production crew's promotional posters."

"What is reincarnation?"

Beichuan Liang shook his head. He knew very well under what circumstances people would place their hopes on the illusory next life, but at this time he could only comfort her:

"Sarina is already very cute, she doesn't need to be reincarnated. There will always be a day when you will recover and be discharged from the hospital. When you are discharged, if you want to enter the entertainment industry, just become an actor or an idol. Then I will be your first fan."

“This is mutual following.”

"Besides, the public welfare film I participated in this time was originally to raise funds for you."

Just like the public welfare film about heart disease patients that changed the public opinion on organ transplantation and donation, Kitagawa Ryo also hopes that his work can give more special patient groups some strength to survive, both spiritually and materially.

Kitagawa Ryo has witnessed death in a hospital in the past and has also watched others perform death on the set of a TV drama.

The heroine, who was about to die, was held in the arms of the hero, with one of her hands in his. She then spit out blood while saying her last words. The man put the woman's hand on his face and cried and begged her not to say anything more. Then, with the tragic background music and slow motion, the woman's hand suddenly dropped down, her pupils dimmed, and the man squeezed out the most painful roar from his throat.

But in fact, people's death often does not have such a story at all. In reality, this director cannot compose music, edit, or zoom.

The departure of a person is more like flowing water. No matter how hard you try, you cannot stop it. You can only watch it pass through your fingers, body, and blood little by little, and then quietly go away.

"If that's the case, that would be great."

Sarina Tendouji seemed to be moved by the bright future that Kitagawa Ryo talked about. She raised her head and looked at the bright starry sky outside the window. The scene that she was familiar with on weekdays suddenly seemed particularly gorgeous, and the dream just now seemed to have been set with a silver edge.

So Sarina began to discuss her plans after being discharged from the hospital with Kitagawa Ryo with great interest:

"I actually want to be an idol more than an actor."

"Every time I see girls who are my age singing and dancing on the stage, I always imagine myself as one of them."

Kitagawa Ryo listened carefully to Tendoji Sarana chattering about her dream, but his eyes unconsciously turned to the words "anaplastic astrocytoma" in the medical record.

He had already looked up the information himself in the afternoon. Astrocytoma is a type of invasive tumor. The probability of recurrence after tumor resection is high, and the recurrent tumor is likely to evolve into anaplastic astrocytoma.

The most common symptoms of this disease are limb weakness and loss of sensation on one side of the body. In the later stages, it may even lead to hemiplegia, which is why Sari Tendoji has difficulty moving.

At this time, Kitagawa Ryoya roughly understood why Sarina fell in love with him because of the movie "Home Alone", because he in that story had almost everything Sarina expected.

Although there are some awkwardness on the surface, the family affection is still engraved in the bones, and the family relationship is lively and extremely harmonious.

The little protagonist, played by Ryo Kitagawa, shows the cleverness of a child to the fullest, appearing and disappearing at home alone, using various props to play tricks on the clumsy thief who breaks into the house.

All of these are things that Sarina Tendouji has never had but longed for.

Kitagawa Ryo followed the gaze of Tendouji Sarina and turned to look at the bright starry sky outside the window. The hospital built on the top of the mountain was so high that it almost made people doubt whether they could reach out and pick the star that belonged to them.

Under such a brilliant night scene, perhaps the dreams we weave can be more brilliant.

"I say, do you want to try some activities?"

"Just consider this as a preview of your future idol career?"

Remembering what Goro Amemiya had told him in the afternoon, that a nurse had seen Sarina Tendoji doing some dance-like stretching movements in the ward at night, Kitagawa Ryo had an idea and made a suggestion to Sarina.

“…No, that’s not possible.”

Sarina, who had just imagined herself waving to her fans under the spotlight of Tokyo Dome, instantly deflated like a punctured balloon. She was very aware of her physical condition. Just as she didn't want to show her bald head and always wore a knitted hat, even at this point, Sarina still retained the last bit of a girl's dignity in her heart.

What's more, it was in front of Beichuan Liang.

"If you can't even do this, how can you perform under the spotlight of Tokyo Dome?"

Beichuan Liang deliberately exaggerated his tone and said seriously:

"Maybe I'll be a washed-up child star by then. If possible, Sarina, please remember to give me a personal response."

(Individual response: When an idol makes direct eye contact with the audience or waves, it is called a response behavior. Individual response is a response to a specific person)

"No, no, I will keep following Ryo's flower path to the end. Even if I really become an idol, I will always be Ryo's gachi (true fan)."

It can only be said that she is worthy of being a senior fan. She can speak all kinds of jargon in the circle. However, what Kitagawa Ryo just said did give her some courage to some extent. She turned her face away with difficulty and made concessions:

"No...don't laugh."

Perhaps because of shyness, the girl's pale cheeks were rarely stained with a hint of red. She struggled to get up from the bed, and Beichuan Liang hurried over to help her.

Just as Sarina Tendouji said, she almost lost the ability to walk independently and could only hold the handrail on one side of the bed and get out of the bed in an almost clumsy posture.

When Tendoji Sarana actually stood next to Kitagawa Ryo, Kitagawa Ryo realized that the seriously ill girl was even thinner than he had expected.

The thin arms, which seemed to be easily broken with a slight bend, connected to the delicate palms. They looked more like the size of an eight or nine-year-old child. There were almost no secondary sexual characteristics of a woman, and no curves at all, not just on the chest, but everywhere else, which was barren and consistently extended to the feet.

And when they got closer, Kitagawa Ryo discovered the bruises and small scars on Tendouji Sarina's body that had not yet disappeared. They were prominently dotted on the girl's forehead and wrists, as if revealing the results of past attempts over and over again.

Thanks to his unremitting training since childhood, Beichuan Liang's physical strength and physical fitness are among the best among children of the same age or even older. He tiptoed and gently supported Sarina's back, and said softly:

"You won't fall."

Beichuan Ryo does not strictly require the other party to hold her head high, chest out and stomach in. There are many things that cannot be achieved by hard work. He just guides Sarina's movements:

"Which idol group is Sarina's favorite?"

After hearing a fairly familiar name from the other party, Beichuan Ryo nodded again. He also had some knowledge of dancing and happened to have learned the other party's signature song.

Tendoji Sarana tried to control her hands and feet, but her whole body was like an old-fashioned clockwork toy without lubrication. The frustration of not being able to control her own body was too much for a child.

Along with this sense of frustration comes a strong sense of discomfort.

Before Sarina Tendoji was diagnosed with the disease, she stayed in school for a short period of time. At that time, the two sentences that left the deepest impression on her were those of her teacher.

A classmate got first place in the exam. The teacher patted her head and praised her:

"Kyoko has a pretty good brain."

A kid in my class got the last place in the exam. He ran to the teacher and said:

“My heart is so sad.”

But the teacher’s answer was:

"What kind of heart does a child have?"

“It’s all because of not working hard.”

For children, it seems that only the brain is important, and the heart is something that doesn't matter.

So when Sarina Tendouji first fell ill, she naively imagined that maybe her parents sent her to the hospital because there was something wrong with her brain?

As the tumor in my brain worsened, occasional cramps became almost normal, and every time I tried to move, the pain would become more and more obvious.

It was as if he was reminding her all the time:

"You have a tumor in your brain!"

Nerve numbness and tingling spread from the limbs to the brain. Just like in the past, the calves that supported the body suddenly softened and the whole body almost fell forward uncontrollably.

Tendoji Sarina almost subconsciously put her arms in front of her face. She was already used to falling like this, but the next moment, Kitagawa Ryo supported Sarina's body and helped her regain her balance.

"You won't fall."

Beichuan Liang repeated what he had just said. He felt the strength coming from his hand and even doubted whether the other person's weight was more than 60 kilograms. He was so light that he could be blown away by a gust of wind.

However, what happened just now also made him understand the specific condition of Sarina's body. He took the initiative to reach out and hold Sarina's wrist. As if giving instructions or dancing a duet, Kitagawa Ryo guided her movements gently and delicately.

If a third party were to observe, the movements of the two children would be more like a controlled, clumsy and somewhat funny puppet show than a dance.

But Sarina didn't feel that way at all.

Tendouji Sarina could clearly feel the breath of Kitagawa Ryo who was so close to her. The other party was stronger than she imagined, supporting her body with his shoulders and back.

If she could go back to school, Tendoji Sarana would definitely debate with that teacher and point out his mistakes with reason and evidence.

Because at this moment, she felt her heartbeat very clearly.
