Watanabe Yuu responded.
He looked at the ceiling that was immersed in the darkness and raised his hands, trying to block out the endless darkness.
"Can we really be transferred to another hospital tomorrow?"
It's not that she doesn't believe Watanabe Yu.
only……
Grandma is so important to her.
That's why she couldn't help but ask again.
"no problem."
Watanabe Yu said in a gentle voice without any impatience.
He had had similar experiences and knew what it felt like.
"..."
There was silence between the two for a while.
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to disbelieve you, I just..."
A rustling sound was heard, and Hamabe Ryoko turned around quietly and looked at Watanabe Yu nervously.
The streetlight across the street was still on, and in the cold white light, she could just barely make out his expression.
"I understand. I've had times like this too. I care too much, so I get so nervous."
Watanabe Yu put his hands on the pillow.
"…I want to ask you a question."
Hamabe Ryoko turned around and looked at the ceiling which was plunged into darkness.
"Just tell me."
"Why are you willing to help me?"
Hamabe Ryoko pursed her thin lips. She knew that she shouldn't ask this question at this time.
Once the conversation goes wrong or he gets angry, the only hope will be gone.
She had been holding these words in her heart for a whole night.
"Correction, it was to help grandma." Watanabe Yu paused, "As for the reason, I have had a similar experience."
He was just as helpless then.
He stood alone in the hospital corridor, looking through the glass at his grandfather in the ward, growling in pain and convulsing in pain from illness. There was nothing he could do except remain silent.
His grandfather had been very kind to him since he was a child and gave him almost all his love.
At the end of the corridor, my grandfather's children and his elders were arguing over the surgery fees.
Some were willing to pay but didn't want to pay too much. Some didn't want to pay so they just made excuses. As a result, they naturally became angry and started arguing.
His family conditions were not good at that time.
Even if tomorrow's meal expenses are included, it would only be enough to cover half of the surgery fee.
As a result, at the end of the quarrel, the family that my grandfather had always helped showed up at the hospital, stood up, and paid half of the bill together with their family.
Yes, that family said it was a loan, not a gift, but they never took the initiative to ask them to pay back the money.
When paying back every month, they always tell me to take care of my own life first before talking about paying back.
There's no rush for them.
Later, when their family was in financial difficulties, that family often helped them.
He still remembers that experience.
He understood too well the sadness of watching his loved ones lying on the hospital bed while being powerless to do anything and could only lean against the cold wall and then slide down to sit on the cold ground.
The suffocating feeling that comes like a wave can be unforgettable for a lifetime.
“When I first came to Tokyo, my grandma helped me a lot.”
Watanabe Yu chuckled, his tone casual, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
This has nothing to do with the system's rewards, it's just that he feels he should do it.
He didn't have an umbrella before.
Someone held an umbrella for him and protected his childhood.
Now he has an umbrella.
He should hold up the umbrella.
To be that light.
"You don't need to worry about the surgery fee."
He thought about it and added this sentence.
It’s a bit ironic that God seems to know nothing, but also seems to know everything.
It seems to have a clear idea of which disease is likely to wipe out a family's entire savings.
"I will pay you back for the surgery."
Hamabe Ryoko's voice was low, but her tone was very firm.
"Well, provided it does not affect your normal life."
Watanabe Yu didn't say he didn't want it.
He knew very well that if he said no, given Hamabe Ryoko's personality, she would always have a heavy burden in her heart.
"But isn't it too early to say this now?"
He made a joke.
"The cost of the surgery has not yet been determined."
"……Right."
Hamabe Ryoko fell silent.
"Don't always act like a hedgehog. Life is not as bad as you think."
Watanabe Yu's mouth corners slightly raised, his expression relaxed, "I know that life will be malicious to us from time to time, and when you think that life is finally getting better, it will hit you hard.
"But there are always some people who are willing to extend a kind hand to you when you are stuck in the quagmire and pull you out.
“Just like when I first came to Tokyo, I didn’t understand anything, many things were confusing, and I couldn’t even accept the reality.
“Then, my grandma helped me.
"She taught me many things step by step, no matter how big or small. She was afraid that I couldn't cook well, so in the first few days, she found various excuses to send me lunch boxes every meal.
“That’s how she pulled me in.
"Cheer up, Hamabe.
“Maybe smiling can’t change the actual problem, but it can make you feel better.
“Then, try to trust people who have good intentions towards you.
“Kindness attracts kindness.
"Maybe, as long as you are willing to extend your hand, they will hold your hand in return and help you when you are in the most difficult time without asking for anything in return."
Many things have both positive and negative sides. Most of the time, there is no way to change the problem itself, so the only thing you can do is change yourself.
A happy day is a day, an unhappy day is also a day.
Live in the present, at least you will be in a better mood.
“…Watanabe.”
Ryoko Hamabe suddenly felt a little sour in her nose.
"Ok?"
"...Can I trust you?"
There was a tremor in her voice.
"That depends on how you think."
Watanabe Yu's tone remained natural.
He could tell that Hamabe Ryoko's emotions were fluctuating greatly.
He knew that at this time, not turning his head away would be the greatest consideration for Hamabe Ryoko.
"So, are we friends?"
Hamabe Ryoko bit her red lips lightly.
"That depends on you." Watanabe Yu chuckled and spoke his inner thoughts frankly, "For me, I think we are friends.
"Otherwise, how could I take you in?
"Are you dissatisfied with your calf muscles being underdeveloped? Do you want to go inside and pedal the sewing machine until sparks fly to calm your nerves?"
Hearing this, Hamabe Ryoko burst into laughter, but her tears also overflowed.
Warm tears soaked her face.
But this time, she didn't feel cold.
"So, among the reasons why you took me in, was there a little bit of the fact that I'm pretty?"
For some unknown reason, Hamabe Ryoko asked this question.
She regretted it as soon as the words came out of her mouth.
She felt she had overstepped her bounds.
They're just friends, aren't they?
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"I want to hear the truth."
"That's right, and the proportion should be a little higher than you think."
Yu Watanabe is quite honest and has no intention of pretending to be a gentleman.
He never considered himself a gentleman!
The true nature of a man!
"That……"
For some reason, after hearing what Watanabe Yu said.
Hamabe Ryoko breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought...
I am not attractive at all.
"Can you give me a hug?"
"Is it okay to be like friends?"
He couldn't hold his mouth and sang out.
"..."
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
"This is?"
"nothing."
Watanabe Yu sat up, took two steps towards her, and then opened his arms.
He knew that she must be very scared and helpless today, and she must be suffocating and unable to breathe. Even though she is feeling much better now, the feeling of powerlessness that is like a thorn in her side is not so easy to get rid of.
When a hedgehog retracts its spikes, it naturally needs a hug.
