single row ahead

Because of the misunderstanding of Yuki's gender at the beginning, even though Oda Sakunosuke resolved the misunderstanding in time, the four boys Xingsuke, Shinji, Yu and Katsumi were still a little uncomfortable facing this new family member.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the small room revealed a bit of embarrassment.

And Xue was completely unaware that it was because of herself that the originally lively room suddenly became quiet.He quietly followed behind Oda Sakunosuke, silent like a shadow without any sense of presence.

Also because of his snow-like tranquility, it is inevitable for Oda Sakunosuke to ignore his existence when facing six children at the same time.

When Sakunosuke Oda was struggling to think about how to quickly integrate Yuki into the five children, Shinji, who was delicate and thoughtful, discovered something wrong with Yuki while secretly looking at the newly joined brother.

"Odasaku..." Shinji, who even spoke in a low voice, rarely mustered up the courage to speak first as the one who broke the silence in a strange atmosphere.

Shinji, who became flustered by the sudden gazes of everyone, tightened his arms holding the book, his body was tense, and he stammered a little nervously, "That, that, the new brother, isn't it, some uncomfortable."

With one hand free, he pointed at Xue timidly, and said, "His face is so pale, and he has been sweating coldly..."

...looked like he was about to faint.

Shinji didn't have time to say those words.

Because Xue really fainted.

Straight, without warning, silently, just like that, he suddenly lost consciousness and fell headfirst on Oda Sakunosuke.

Oda Sakunosuke hugged Yuki's soft body subconsciously, and casually wiped his skin exposed in the air, his hands were covered with sticky, wet and cold sweat.

The hand trembled uncontrollably almost immediately, but Oda Sakunosuke quickly forced himself to calm down. He hugged his thin body with only bones left in his arms, and hurriedly explained how many children there were. Say, "Xingjie, take good care of your younger brothers and sisters, don't let them run around, and don't be afraid, Xue is fine, I'll just take him to the hospital, you are obedient, do you understand?"

"understood."

"we know."

"Odasaku, hurry up and take him to the hospital."

……

The children responded in a hurry, with worry written on every immature face.

Oda Sakunosuke really didn't care to say a few more words to them, he nodded indiscriminately, with one hand across Yuki's leg, the other through his armpit, and carefully pressed his head on his shoulder, To prevent bumping into him while running, he hurried downstairs, grabbed his wallet in this posture and went out, stopped a taxi and went to the hospital.

After getting in the car to the hospital, Oda Sakunosuke finally had time to think about other things.

Because there was no towel, he took off his coat, and wiped his sweaty forehead with the sleeve of a shirt with soft fabric, feeling regretful in his heart.

Xue's expression of being too quiet and closed made him focus entirely on Xue's abnormal psychology, while ignoring his equally unhealthy body.

Just thinking about it, for three whole days—maybe more than three days, without any food and water intake, and without rest to reduce the energy consumption of the body, a normal person can no longer support it, let alone not having much meat on his body It's snowing.

What's more, Xue had just been dragged by him suddenly for a while, and it was normal for her body to be unable to support herself when exercising with little energy.

Xue didn't know how to confide at all, even if he felt uncomfortable, he wouldn't say it out, and he seemed to be more concerned about other people than himself.

No, that's not true either, so far he's only been interested in himself.

The boy in his arms frowned, alarming Oda Sakunosuke.

The pale lips opened and closed slightly, uttering a few indistinct words, even though Oda Sakunosuke almost put his ear to Yuki's lips, he couldn't understand what he wanted to express.

It was just a sudden symptom. After a while, Xue came to her senses, but she still seemed to be very uncomfortable, and the raised folds between her eyebrows never relaxed.

The white-haired boy quietly nestled in Oda Sakunosuke's arms, his body heaving gently with the vibration of the car.He closed his eyes, pressed his cheeks tightly against the young man's chest, and felt the warmth soak into his cold skin bit by bit.

so warm...

The most honest and straightforward thoughts appeared in the blank boy's heart.

It wasn't until Oda Sakunosuke arrived at the hospital that he realized that he had no money left.

Especially when the taxi driver quoted the fare, he felt his spine stiffen.

After looking through the wallet and confirming that the remaining money was indeed not enough to pay the fare, Oda Sakunosuke could only awkwardly ask the driver to wait a moment, "Sorry, I came out too quickly and didn't have enough money with me, please wait a moment." Wait a minute? I'll call a friend to come over."

Fortunately, the driver also has a carefree personality. He said, "It's okay, I can't get any business anyway, so it won't delay you if you wait a little longer. Is your brother sick? Go see a doctor immediately!"

"thank you very much."

Oda Sakunosuke bowed gratefully in the small car, opened the door, and carried Yukino again to the hospital. After settling the frail boy, he thought about it and hesitantly gave it to the man. Made a phone call.

"Ah, it's Odasaku, what's the matter? I'm cleaning up the mess here."

From the other end of the phone came a clear boyish voice, lazy and casual, and there were chaotic and noisy gunshots and wailing begging for mercy in the background.

"I'm sorry to call you during work hours, Dazai." Oda Sakunosuke put his hands on the back of his head and rubbed his wine-red hair, and said with a frown, "But can you lend me some money, please? I'll pay you back later."

"Oh! Oda Zuku! It's so rare! No problem, no matter how much I will lend you (from that dark little dwarf)!" The clear and clear boyish voice immediately became excited, as if being attracted The extremely uncommon behavior of the young man aroused his curiosity, and he repeatedly asked, "Hey! Is it your girlfriend? You have to buy her a villa and a luxury car before marrying you? Or was she danced by a fairy when you went to a bar?"

"No."

"cut."

"It's the new child at home who is sick." Oda Sakunosuke explained, and then asked, "Please, Dazai, I need it urgently. If you have free manpower, can you arrange for someone to bring the money over?" ?”

"I'll go there in person. It just so happens that I'm bored here, and I just finished the game I played recently."

Dazai seemed to have lost interest, he just weighed the degree of boredom between 'continue cleaning up the offal' and 'going to send money to Odasaku', and finally chose the latter.

After hanging up the phone, Oda Sakuyuki let out a long breath, and turned his head to meet Yuki's clean red pupils.

He walked up to Xue lying on the hospital bed, gently stroked the corners of the white-haired boy's eyes with his fingers, and asked, "Is it still uncomfortable?"

"Do not."

Unexpectedly, Xue shook her head, and it was the first time she responded so quickly.

He held down the palm that Oda Sakunosuke wanted to retract, and let it stick tightly to his face, greedily absorbing the heat.

"It's so warm..." He looked up at Oda Sakunosuke and begged, "Just leave it like this... okay?"
