Chapter 218 The Fiery Maple Tree Lit Up Qingliang Temple
The earth and the sky are connected together, forming a gray and white world.A series of railroad tracks extending from nowhere to here meet in the middle, and the dark steam train looks like a line at first, blowing thick smoke and constantly accelerating, speeding up, bang bang bang bang bang bang...

Countless trains, like Don Quixote rushing towards the windmill, slammed into each other fiercely.Locomotive to locomotive, locomotive to carriage, some flew up, some went underground, all entangled.

The steam engine was still roaring, making harsh sounds.

This is the scene that appeared in Hojo Kyosuke's dream. Even after waking up, the hundred trains still seemed to be running non-stop in his head.

His body was covered with sweat and his hair was soaked.

What, are aliens going to attack Earth?
He lifted the quilt and scratched his hair, not knowing why it happened.

I took my mobile phone from the bedside table, it was exactly seven o'clock.

The moment I got out of bed, put on my slippers and stood up, my head was a little dizzy.Sure enough, was the work too tiring in the past few days?It seems that I can't work for more than one day in the future.

I drew the curtains and opened the windows, and before I had time to look at the courtyard as usual and breathe the air with a super high concentration of carbon dioxide, the pleasant sound of reading came up from below.

Leaning over and looking down, it was Niatz holding a book and reciting aloud, and listening again, it was Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", but it was in Japanese version, and it was in ancient Japanese.The translation also fully respects Japanese grammar, since the verbs are placed last.

For example, "hot spring water slides and washes condensed fat" is translated as "hot spring water slid らかにして condensed fat (ぎょうし) を洗う", which is roughly understood as washing away the condensed fat.

This is an ancient prose that is only learned in high school. I didn't expect Nitro to be previewing it now.

Are you afraid that breathing cold air will ruin your throat?

Even though he thought so, Hojo Kyosuke didn't want to disturb her when he saw the girl's focused expression and listened to that serious voice.

After walking into the bathroom, it took 3 minutes to rinse briefly, and he went downstairs, Zhihua also sat on the sofa in the living room, holding a book and reading it intently.

Although he already knew that the beauty of sleeping in is not something everyone can appreciate, but he got up early today, and he was the last one!
"Good morning, Zhihua."

Seeing that the movement of him going downstairs failed to retrieve the girl from the world of books, Hojo Kyosuke shouted.

"Oh? Good morning, Kyosuke, why did you wake up so early today?"

Naoka raised her head in surprise when she heard this. Based on her understanding of Kyosuke, after working like this for three days in a row, the other party would definitely sleep all night before leaving the nest.

"You are all studying so hard, how can I sleep well?"

Smiling, he took his own glass from the cup holder, poured a glass of water and sat down on the sofa.

"Hehe~~"

Zhihua smiled briskly, turned her head to look at Nitro who was still facing away from the living room, and raised the book in her hand.

"I'm not the same as Nitzi."

The cover of the book is not any kind of teaching material, but a short-haired woman in a brown sweater, "BAILA", Naoka's favorite fashion magazine.

"Aren't you studying too?"

Hojo Kyosuke laughed and said, so to some extent, it is also very pleasant to be able to develop a hobby into a career. The magazines that are usually used for relaxation have also become study materials.

"The seniors are really amazing, there are already people who can publish articles in magazines of this level."

Naoka turns the magazine around and shows Hojo Kyosuke what she's reading.

Well, even though the daily average maximum temperature is only 13 degrees, on the picture that says "Look thin award", the girl has already put on a skirt that looks very cold.Below are some fabrics and design ideas that explain why fashion looks good.

Oh, that's right, Shicheng is still a high school student, which doesn't explain who understands fashion.

"Zhihua, you have received a special scholarship, and you will definitely be better than these seniors."

Although she thought so in her heart, Naoka still brushed the hair beside her ears with her little finger embarrassingly, her beautiful blue-purple eyes were full of longing, and said softly, "I hope so."

"Most definitely."

Hojo Kyosuke stood up, walked to the courtyard, opened the glass sliding door, and the sound of the glass being blocked came in immediately.This idiot must have worried that Zhi Hua would go to the courtyard to study.

"Nitrogen."

After hearing the voice, Nishinomiya Glass turned around immediately, her voice was full of surprises:
"Ah, Kyosuke-kun, you're up."

While speaking, she took small steps from the side of the pond to Keisuke Hojo quickly, and smiled on her frozen face.

"What's the matter, seeing me so surprised, do you want to say that I'm a bedridden slob?"

Seeing the girl's cute appearance, Hojo Kyosuke couldn't help but want to tease her.

"Yeah, that's not it." Nitro shook his head quickly, even though he knew it was a joke, he still explained it seriously.

Saying this, she lowered her head in embarrassment, and then looked at the boy opposite with slightly raised eyes, her brown eyes shining brightly in the morning light:

"Although I know that I can see Kyosuke-kun every morning from now on, I still can't help being happy."

"What a fool, don't go to the courtyard to read aloud in the morning, the temperature is too low, take care to protect your throat. If necessary, you can go to the third floor, there are still many vacant rooms there."

"Yeah~" Nitro nodded happily.

"Go in and have a drink of water and rest for a while, I'll prepare breakfast right away." Upon seeing Nitiko's naive smile, Hojo Kyosuke couldn't help but want to rub that fluffy brown hair.

"Why don't I prepare it today?"

"If you really think so, you won't wait until now." He stretched out his hand and scratched that small nose.

"Hey~~ Who made the dishes made by Kyosuke-kun so delicious." Nitzi stuck out her pink tongue.

Although the days of eating white rice in the morning in Itomori were over, Hojo Kyosuke still couldn't get used to it, and the breakfast he prepared was simple and delicious wheat pancakes.Add sugar and water to wheat flour, apply a little oil to the pan, and spread out the batter evenly. After making it, it will be sweet and can be eaten directly, or you can choose to coat it with blueberry sauce.

The blueberry sauce I eat now is bought in the supermarket, but Nitro has already planted blueberries in the yard, and I hope to be able to eat the blueberry sauce from Hojo’s house in the second half of the year.

Affiliated Hospital of Neon Medical University
In the single ward with "Yamauchi" written on it, Sakura was looking out the window in a daze, the conversation interface of LINE on the phone.A photo of cherry blossoms in full bloom was sent to the opposite person. According to the "schedule", she should now be walking with her grandparents to enjoy the cherry blossoms beside the Kamo River.

And in fact...

"Sakura, are you really not going to tell Kyosuke-kun?" Maki Yamauchi hesitated, but asked. At 08:30, my daughter was about to enter the operating room.She believes that if Hojo Kyosuke is in the hospital, she will definitely give her daughter more courage.

"Hahaha, Mom, it's not like you don't know about that person, Jingsuke. If he came to the hospital, his serious expression might make the doctor's hands tremble in fright." Yingliang turned his head and spoke to his mother in a brisk tone. Said.

"Hehe, what are you talking nonsense, kid? Isn't Jingjie-kun very gentle when he smiles?"

Even so, Maki Yamauchi had to admit that it was really scary for Kyosuke's kid to look down.But it's rare to see it. The last time I saw it was in the fifth grade of Yingliang Elementary School. On the way to buy snacks, she was hit on the head by a few boys playing wild ball.Kyosuke came to his house to play, and when he found out about this, his expression turned ugly instantly.

At that time, he just smiled and comforted Yingliang, saying that he would definitely take revenge in the future.This "later" came unexpectedly fast, and the next day she saw a group of parents gathered around the door of Hojo's house.Standing in front of his mother, Mr. Jing Jie faced the group of furious parents expressionlessly, and then handed out his father's business cards when he was still a lawyer.

Thinking of this, Maki Yamauchi gained a better understanding of why her daughter would not hesitate to say "If I tell Kyosuke secretly, I will never forgive you" to hide from that child.

In the eyes of my daughter, it would be like the end of the world if the daily life with Kyosuke was destroyed.And for that child, if he knew about Yingliang's condition, it would be the end of the world...

Thinking of the good old days of the two children, Miki Yamauchi couldn't help but her eyes were sore, and she immediately turned her head to wipe away the tears that had overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

Standing aside, Yamauchi Masachi sighed heavily. He was naturally happy to have such an excellent son-in-law who loved his daughter so much. He even thought about discussing marriage with the Hojo family a long time ago, but now it has become like this.

"It's okay, mom, the operation will be successful, don't be so scared." Ying Liang took her mother's hand and squeezed it hard.

She is fearless and full of confidence in her heart. Her high school life with Kyosuke has not yet begun. She will not miss the JK experience that is only once in life.Therefore, Sakura Yamauchi's operation will be successful, and then he will go back to Kyousuke when he becomes healthy. The name of the house has not been taken yet.

"Yeah!" Yamauchi Maki also stretched out his other hand, covering her daughter's hand.

The phone on Sakura's lap vibrated.

"It's Kyousuke~" She picked up the phone and shook it to her parents, but she didn't want them to give them some private space.

"Moshi Moxi~~ Big lazy Kyosuke got up so early, don't tell me you are also walking on the Kamogawa trail."

The brisk voice didn't sound like someone who was about to undergo surgery at all.

"Haha, you are the only one who has no right to call me a slacker. I get up early more than you!"

"It's strange! I have written this down. I got up earlier than you for five days in the third grade!"

"It's because the number of times is too small that you can remember it. In the fourth grade, I got up 32 times earlier than you!"

"Ha, you're still talking about me, don't you remember it because of too few times?"

"There are 32 stone roads in front of your house, and there are 13 levels in total from the first floor to the middle turning point. And you, Mr. Sakura, who has a good memory, do you know how many levels there are from the turning point to the second floor?"

"Of course it's also 13!" Although she didn't know it at all and had never lost once, Yingliang's voice was so determined.

"Stupid, it's 14."

Light laughter came from the other side of the microphone.

"Damn it, I want to complain to the designer. This is too unfriendly to blind people. If I remember wrongly, I will have a big fall!" Ying Liang clenched her small fists to help the blind compatriots who did not exist at home. indignant.

"I think if you are really blind, you will use a cane."

"Nonsense, no one would keep tapping at home."

She is very sure about this Sakura Liang, because she once doubted whether Hojo Kyosuke could live with his eyes closed in a single apartment, because the placement of his everything is fixed, as far as she knows Only blind people do this.

Time passed quietly in the chat between the two. Over there, Hojo Kyosuke's boredom caused by nightmares disappeared without a trace. Here, Sakura is looking forward to the days after the successful operation.

Seeing their daughter smiling brightly, dancing and talking, the Yamauchi couple couldn't bear to turn their heads.

After a while

Seeing his mother counting the time on the watch, Sakura knew it was time to end the conversation.She straightened up and looked towards Hojo's house outside the window:

"The cherry blossoms by the Kamogawa River are so beautiful, you must come and see them next year, Kyousuke."

When talking, the girl seemed to have really seen the gorgeous cherry blossoms on the bank of the Kamo River: "When the time comes, you can take Nishi and the others and secretly pick some cherry blossoms to make cherry cakes."

"Idiot, sakura cakes only use the leaves of sakura trees."

"Of course I know this, but there is no rule that you can't add cherry blossoms in it. After all, a cherry cake without cherry blossoms is a scam at all!"

"Master Sakura is right, then we will pick more cherry blossoms." Hojo Kyosuke obeyed.

"Hey hey, Kyosuke, don't steal the whole tree again."

"How dare you say that it's not what you said you wanted!" Although Yingliang's words were a bit inexplicable, Hojo Kyosuke knew what the other party was referring to right away.

"Okay, grandma is calling me, goodbye, Kyousuke."

"Well, come back soon."

"Yeah~~ Miss me like you miss Sakuramochi, hehe."

Hanging up the phone, Sakura stared at the blacked-out screen of the phone.

"Mom, you never imagine how exaggerated Kyosuke is."

"What's wrong?" How could Maki Yamauchi not know, but it must be something even more extraordinary for her daughter who is also brainless to say such things.

"When I was in the second grade of junior high school, I called Kyosuke at my grandfather's house and told him that the maple trees in Kiyomizu Temple were so beautiful that I really wanted to move them to Tokyo."

"Then?" Yamauchi Masachi asked, he naturally had such thoughts. After leaving Kyoto, the most unforgettable thing is the maple forest that can be seen at a glance from the balcony of his home, as if the Qingliang Temple was lit. .

"Then? Hahaha, then that guy Kyousuke really went to Kyoto to get a maple tree and plant it in the newly bought mansion."

Sakura laughed loudly, the small maple tree planted in the most important "servant tree" in the courtyard was so conspicuous.Even if someone with no knowledge of gardening can see discord, she can, because she doesn't have it.

Aunt Mikiko was also puzzled, and then said, "And he got this tree from Kyoto by Shinkansen. I thought it was given to him by you, Ko Sakura, but I didn't expect it to be so."

Of course I didn't send it myself, because...

"A maple tree in the maple forest in front of Qingliang Temple?" Yamauchi asked in disbelief.

"The one in front of Qingliang Temple, directly facing the balcony of Grandpa's house!" Yingliang affirmed.

"But I remember that it's not for sale!"

"Hahaha, it's like this." That's why she said she didn't give it to her. Although she had thought about it, it was really just thinking about it!How could a good boy like himself do such an exaggerated thing as Kyosuke.

"It's really messed up."

The Yamauchi couple laughed at the same time, but the sadness in their hearts became worse immediately.God, why did my daughter encounter such a thing, she obviously did nothing wrong.She is about to enter the best period of life with the boy who loves her deeply, and is about to enjoy the splendid youth.

If we lose her, myself, husband, Kyosuke, our world will lose its color.

Doctors and nurses walked into the ward. Because of the sufficient gift money, the hospital sent the best doctors in this field.Minagawa Yuki, a rare female surgeon.The reason why I chose this hospital instead of the other two hospitals that are number one in terms of cancer is because of this doctor. The pancreatic cancer surgery she has handled has a [-]% success rate as long as it is in the early stage.

Seeing the doctor coming in, the Yamauchi couple quickly said hello, and Dr. Minagawa also responded with a smile on his face.She is very medically virtuous, knowing that the target of the operation is a little girl who is about to enter high school, so she communicated with the patient and family members several times before to reduce their tension.

But what she didn't expect was that this girl, who had just passed her 16th birthday, was not nervous at all, but kept comforting her parents.

"The operation will be successful."

Looking at the girl on the bed who was as bright as a cherry blossom, she made such a promise.Although it was against the norm, she just wanted to tell the other party.

"Well, thank you, Dr. Minagawa." Sakura grinned, showing her white teeth. Of course, she knew that the operation would be successful, because Kyosuke was still waiting for her.

After hanging up the phone, Hojo Kyosuke stood in the courtyard, staring at the lush maple tree.He had already decided that once all the leaves of the maple tree turned yellow, he would be knocked down.

At first, he thought it was cruel to knock down the dead leaves for the convenience of cleaning, but now it is different. He wants to make everything in the yard full of vitality.It is also because of this that he gave up Karesansui. He doesn't like ghost wabi sabi.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Minagawa Yuki walked out of the operating room and informed the Yamauchi couple of the operation with a gentle smile.It was very successful, the resection was very clean, and it can be seen that the prognosis of the operation will be very good, and I will not miss my high school life.

Maki Yamauchi didn't even bother to thank the doctor, she shed tears silently and squatted on the ground.

Great

In the evening, Sakura Yamauchi recovered from anesthesia.

"Ha, ha, I just said that the operation will be successful."

Looking at her parents beside the hospital bed, she managed to force a smile, and wanted to say some exclusive theories, but she really didn't have the strength.

"Mom, help me send that message to Kyousuke."

Yamauchi Maki took the phone as she said, and sent the message her daughter had prepared before.

Ding

"Good night! (picture)" - Sakura Yamauchi

Hojo Kyosuke, who was reading a novel in the living room, quickly picked up his phone and clicked on the picture.

Sakura opened her mouth wide and smiled, posing in an old-fashioned scissorhands pose.

smiled, he also returned
"Good night."
