Even the whole world is trying to match us up

Chapter 316: If I Can Shine (Part )
"Mom, you should have told me earlier."

Faced with this truth that was too sudden, Natsume Qingyu stood beside the bed, looking a little at a loss, and even unable to control his emotions.

There was a smile on his face, but a line of tears flowed down his cheek.

Of course he knew that it was shameful for a boy to cry in pain in front of two women.

But what could I do? The cold tears suddenly started to fall uncontrollably.

In the eyes.

Sparkling with tiny and crystal light.

Finally, it fell gently to the ground along with the cherry blossoms outside the window.

“…I’m sorry.” Ms. Hanada, who had her head buried, noticed her tears out of the corner of her eye. She only said this.

Her thin face made her thin shadow more concrete.

The entire window behind me is like a beautiful picture frame.

Framed her in the bright and blooming spring day.

The warm light of dusk cast a faint glow on her.

"It's okay, it will be fine." Natsume Qingyu gently hugged his mother and encouraged her.

He is very calm.

There are many parents in this world, especially those whose family conditions are not outstanding, who often choose to conceal their children's serious illness, for fear of bringing unexpected burden to their family members.

Rather than hurting or dragging down others, it is better to disappear quietly.

Natsume Qingyu still knew about this.

The more dangerous the moment, the more you need to stay calm. Anger and blame cannot save everything.

Ms. Hanada also cried.

She cried and hugged Natsume Kiyohame.

Crying like a baby.

She also thought that if things continued to develop like this, her lies would be exposed one day.

and so……

She had thought about it some time ago.

She was going to tell Natsume Qingyu that she met someone who loved her very much abroad, and then she settled down there smoothly...

Never have to come back again.

Even if I get scolded or blamed...

None of it matters.

But she knew.

With Natsume Kiyoha's personality, he would just smile and say this with a look of relief.

"I'm very happy that my mom has found someone she likes, but please don't cause trouble to others in the future. If you are rejected, just go back to Tokyo."

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't speak.

Put off again and again.

I had thought of waiting a few days, until the cherry blossoms outside the window were over, before telling him.

I didn't expect the accident to come so quickly.

It was Xiao Lingyin who brought him here.

but.

She didn't mean to blame anyone.

She just didn't do this well enough.

What qualifications do I have to say that, two sensible children?
For her, this private family matter should not involve Xiao Lingyin at all.

and so……

Maybe, this is the best ending.

Natsume Qingyu didn't know what disease her mother had. After a while, she fell into a deep sleep because she was tired of crying.

Sleepiness?

Maybe he noticed it earlier.

This kind of thing will not happen.

Natsume Kiyohame and Hatsukano Suzune tiptoed out of the ward, closing the door behind them, giving the patient enough quiet space to rest.

When they came out, the two men didn't speak or move around immediately.

Instead, the two of them kept a distance between each other, standing in the cold aisle.

The boy leaned against the wall, looking at the blooming cherry blossoms outside the window.

The girl obediently dropped her hands in front of her and stared at the ground.

The feet in loafers were moving restlessly, sometimes standing on tiptoe, sometimes raising the feet.

The corridor was very quiet, and the white sheets were still dancing in the wind.

The atmosphere is very similar.

A young couple left school and waited for the bus to go home together at the tram station.

But there is no such peaceful and comfortable feeling, instead there is a sense of depression.

Slowly, Natsume Kiyohae turned his head and noticed from the corner of his eye that Hatsukano Suzune seemed to be waiting for him to criticize her.

Because her expression at this moment was exactly the same as Ms. Hanada's just now.

It's like a child who made a mistake.

Even if you think about it carefully.

after all.

She did not tell herself the truth right away, but chose to hide it for a while.

But how could Natsume Qingyu blame her?

He knew with his nose that it was his stupid mother who begged her not to tell him, at least not to tell herself so soon.

This was not something that Suzune Hatsukano should have interfered with...

"Thank you." Natsume Qingyu thanked with a smile.

It must have been very hard for her to help take care of Ms. Hanada during this period.

Could it be that she got up so early this morning just to visit the hospital?
"No...you're welcome."

Hatsukano Suzune really didn't expect Natsume Kiyohame to thank her. She looked at him with a somewhat flustered look, a blush quickly spread on her pretty face, and she became incoherent, which was unusual for her.

Natsume Qingyu couldn't help laughing when he saw her cute look.

Chu Luye Suzune just came to her senses. She used her hand as a comb to comb her hair a few times and smiled slightly to ease the embarrassment.

"Huatian...Auntie." She said in a low voice with some embarrassment.

"?!"

Natsume Qingyu stopped laughing, and when he heard Lingyin talking about her mother, he became a little confused and raised his eyebrows to look over.

I saw.

The next second, Suzune Hatsukano clenched her fists, looked into his eyes, smiled firmly and said, "It will be fine!"

Natsume Qingyu stared quietly at the faint smile on the girl's face, and suddenly thought of something.

If it were any other girl, he would definitely think that the other person just wanted to enlighten and comfort him.

But she was not any other girl, but his girlfriend.

It was precisely because Natsume Qingyu understood her that he could not help but understand some strange meanings in an instant.

That is...

She never lies.

Even when it came to hiding the matter from Ms. Hanada, she chose to avoid talking about it, which was another form of deception, but it wasn’t really a lie.

If Ms. Hanada eventually dies of illness, the principles she has adhered to for so many years will be broken.

It's the same reason why some people like to set reverse flags for themselves when playing card drawing games.

and so……

Isn't this a blessing?

Thinking of this, Natsume Qingyu couldn't help but smile slightly.

The smile became softer and more natural, as if nothing bad had happened.

"Thank you."

He thanked her sincerely again.

However, Hatsukano Suzune seemed very dissatisfied with this.

She took a breath, and her cheeks puffed up like a fat white puffer fish.

He looked at him fiercely for a few seconds, then deflated again.

"I said it all..."

Hatsukano Suzune raised her fist, gently hit Natsume Kiyohame's arm, and whispered, "You're welcome."

Then, she started playing with her bangs with a wandering look.

Natsume Qingyu raised his arm and looked at the place where the girl had hit him lightly.

I thought, maybe, it would be more appropriate to call this a "beating".

She once said, "If he dares to thank her politely again, she will punish him once she hears it."

But come to think of it, the force used when he hit me was really light. Was he afraid of hurting me?
This cold corridor suddenly fell into a brief peace.

They were like two little squirrels standing in the corner, waiting together for the storm to pass.

"Aren't you angry?"

This time, it was Hatsukano Suzune who broke the silence first.

She stood on tiptoe, leaned forward slightly, turned her head and asked seriously.

The gentle setting sun slanted down from behind her, and there was a faint golden glow in the quiet corridor.

Her figure was elongated, intertwined with light and shadow, and her hair fluttered lightly.

"To be honest, a little bit."

Natsume Qingyu took a deep breath, with a voice that was difficult to conceal the loneliness, and said solemnly, "No matter what, you should have told me earlier."

Natsume Kiyohae, who usually always likes to talk with a smile, spoke in such a sad tone. This was the first time that Suzune Hatsuno had seen this.

He was really sad.

Suzune Hatsukano could feel it.

“…Yeah, that’s right.”

She settled down, no longer as lively as before, but lowered her head and stood quietly.

The look could best be described as a penguin that suddenly became sad.

"besides……"

Natsume Qingyu continued, "When I think about the fact that my mother would rather tell you, who is currently an outsider, than tell me the truth, my heart really hurts."

He didn't dare say this in front of his mother, for fear of irritating her and aggravating her condition.

But Natsume Qingyu felt that he should say it out no matter what, otherwise he would get sick if he kept it in.

And the person in front of him, Hatsukano Suzune, is the most suitable person to talk to.

but.

After Natsume Qingyu expressed his true feelings in one breath, he looked at the girl with a little worry.

I wondered if I had spoken too harshly.

"Qingyu." The girl called softly.

"Ok?"

The boy stood up quickly and scratched his cheek with his index finger. "What's wrong?"

"Do you believe what I said?" Hatsukano Suzune suddenly said something that made people confused, with her eyes flashing with moisture like water.

"Of course I believe it."

Although Natsume Qingyu was confused, he still gave a positive answer.

"Actually... on this matter... Aunt Hanada... didn't tell me." Hatsukano Suzune bit her lips lightly, her voice getting smaller and smaller, as if something big was about to come out.

Fortunately, at this distance, Natsume Qingyu could hear clearly.

"Then how did you know?"

Natsume Qingyu looked puzzled.

After a little thought, he added, "Did you see it by accident?"

Well, that's a possibility.

As we all know, Japan is only as big as Tokyo, so it is not surprising to meet acquaintances while walking on the street.

"no."

Hatsukano Suzune calmed down and turned around.

With his back to the bright light outside the window.

Take a deep breath.

"I can read minds."

The girl's clear voice echoed in the clean corridor, very clearly, even so clear that people mistakenly thought she was speaking very loudly.

"Although this sounds ridiculous and hard to believe."

"but……"

“It is indeed true.”

In just a few words, it seemed as if she had used up all her strength.

Hatsukano Suzune was breathing heavily, her full chest heaving violently.

Natsume Qingyu's mind was in a mess at the moment, and he just stared at her blankly without blinking.

Chu Lu Ye Ling Yin thought that he didn't believe it, so her voice became weaker and weaker, and her head lowered lower.

"Please...believe me."

These were her last whispers.

The voice was inexplicably choked.

The setting sun is trying to outline her graceful figure.

Natsume Qingyu didn't disbelieve her.

It was just a moment, and I haven't come back to my senses yet.

He raised his eyes and took a closer look, and could even see a faint red glow on Hatsukano Suzune's tender face.

And that faint smile.

The wind was blowing from Hatsukano Suzune's direction. Natsume Kiyohame could clearly smell that soothing fragrance, but he always felt that all the aura in his body was about to be taken away by the other person.

His heart was beating fast.

If you didn’t know, you would think he was accepting the confession of a beautiful girl.

But in Natsume Kiyohama's eyes, this may be much more important than the meaning of confession.

From those clear eyes, it was clear that Hatsukano Suzune was not joking at all.

The conjecture made long ago has finally been confirmed at this moment.

Back to the topic, everyone who has read supernatural novels knows it.

When a person with super powers tells someone about his abilities, it is the same as revealing all his weaknesses.

Perhaps, some people still cannot understand that wonderful feeling.

Then please imagine that a beautiful girl with superpowers suddenly tells you her weaknesses without reservation, making you feel like you can take her life at any time.

therefore.

At this moment, Natsume Qingyu was 100% sure that the girl in front of him completely trusted him.

And she must not be made to feel the slightest bit disappointed!
That's what a good boyfriend should do.

"I believe it. Of course I believe it." Natsume Qingyu's voice was loud, raising the temperature of the atmosphere.

Upon hearing this, Suzune Hatsukano subconsciously raised her little face and looked at him.

"So that's how it is..." When Natsume Qingyu saw her looking at him, his desire to perform increased even more. He rubbed his hands together, with a look of sudden enlightenment.

"What I said..."

Natsume Qingyu touched the back of his head and said, "Why did my mother only tell you and not tell me?"

"That makes sense."

Natsume Qingyu put his hands on Hatsukano Suzune's shoulders, forcing her to look into his eyes, "Thank you for telling me this..."

"secret."

The smile on his face was as bright as the sun, enough to warm people's hearts.

Seeing him smiling foolishly, Suzune Hatsukano couldn't help but smile back.

Also smiling foolishly.

The tears at the corners of her eyes are as beautiful as a crystal.

Seeing this, Natsume Qingyu's desire to protect her was overwhelming, and he wanted to hold her tightly in his arms.

then.

He spread his arms, revealing his strong chest, and guessed cheerfully, "Are you a little cold?"

How could the beautiful girl with the ability to read minds not see through his little tricks at this moment?
"A little bit." Hatsukano Suzune wiped away her tears with her fingertips and sniffed her nose as if she was a little angry.

"now what?"

Natsume Qingyu took a step forward, took her into his arms, and stroked the back of her head.

Hatsukano Suzune hugged him back as if he were a stuffed bear.

She rested her little face lightly on his chest, listening to his heartbeat and smelling his scent.

She rubbed against him like a cat, as if she wanted to get into his heart.

Little did he know that the fool's heart had already been filled with her.

No one can get in.

"It's warm now." The girl smiled.
