retrieve a bunch of dreams

Otsuka handed the car keys to Taiyang, "Get in the car first."

Sano patted Aoi knowingly, and walked directly to Otsuka's car.

Taiyang unlocked it with a key, pulled the co-pilot away, and Sano and Aoi got into the back seat together.

"Takikawa, I have handed over to Shunsuke, and he will take over as my vice president in the future."

Hearing Otsuka's words, the man was taken aback, "Is that considered handover?" The man said in a distressed manner, "Please don't be self-willed anymore, the president is already very troubled, if you don't go back, the president said He will pick you up in person next time."

My father was like that, never knowing what I wanted.He hates me that iron can't make steel, but I just want to be happy iron. .

"Hey..." Otsuka sighed helplessly, "I will go home to see my father in person at night, so please go back."

Having received Otsuka's promise, Takigawa bowed solemnly, then turned and got into the car.

Otsuka's heart seemed to be covered with a layer of fog. When he left yesterday, he felt very happy.But reality is reality after all, since he promised to go back, he will definitely have a showdown with his father at night.I am already 27 years old, so I shouldn't be so self-willed anymore, but when I think about returning to the lifeless life before, Otsuka's heart will feel uncomfortable like forever.

Sitting in the car, Otsuka stared blankly at Taiyang's face.He may not like himself, and he also has a fixed life track.Should I go back to the hospital, continue to be a good son, forget the so-called passion of the past two days, or give it a go for the unknown expectations?

Starting the car, Otsuka drove forward aimlessly.He took out a cigarette from the center armrest, tapped it twice, a cigarette came out slightly, Otsuka squeezed the end of the cigarette with his mouth, and pulled it out.

Otsuka took out a lighter from his purse and lit the cigarette.The smell of smoke in the confined space makes the sun feel very uncomfortable.Taiyang rolled down half the window on his side, frowned slightly and gave Otsuka a sideways look.

"Sorry." Otsuka felt that Taiyang hated the smell of smoke, so he immediately extinguished the cigarette he had only smoked in the car ashtray.

"Otsuka, let's go to the Home Living Museum, do you know the way?" Aoi felt that Otsuka had something on his mind, so she reminded him of today's route.

"Yes, I know." Otsuka replied.

There was a distance between Aoi and Sano, one on the left and one on the right, and Sano reached out to hold Aoi's hand.Aoi looked at the two people in front of her and knew that neither of them would look back, but Aoi still felt embarrassed to hold hands in public.Aoi pursed her lips, slowly pulled out her hand, and then moved towards the car door.

Sano looked sideways at Aoi, raised his eyes, and asked, 'What's wrong? '

Aoi looked around, bit her lip, frowned at Sano and shook her head slightly, saying, "Everyone is in the car, don't be like this~"

Sano pursed his lips and smiled silently, then turned his head and looked out of the car window with folded arms.

In the hospital that day, Aoi and Sano made up.Aoi thought about the scene that day, and felt sweet in her heart.That day, Sano frowned, hugged himself, and said reproachfully, "Aoi, can you stop thinking about me, and don't give me up generously. I hope you can tie me by your side selfishly, so selfish that you won't allow me Take one extra look at anyone."

Aoi asked with tears, "Can I?"

Sano looked into his eyes and said seriously, "Please, please leave your last time to me, it will be the most precious memory in my life."

Aoi also pursed her lips and smiled as she thought about Sano's confession in the hospital.Following Sano's movements, Aoi folded her arms and looked out the window.

At the destination, several people got out of the car together.

Otsuka has adjusted his mood, and went to the home shopping mall with his friends.

"Wow~ This bed is so comfortable~~~" Sun Yang seemed to want to buy it himself, and he had to lie on each different mattress and try it out.

The advantage of self-service shopping is that there are no shopping guides to bother you, but at the same time, no one will enthusiastically come to introduce you.

"I think latex mattresses are more comfortable than spring mattresses~ Otsuka Otsuka, which one do you like?" Taiyang asked like a big child, sitting on the edge of the bed and kicking his feet.

Aoi touched the mattress, and pulled Sano to sit down, "Do you think we should also change the mattress? The old mattress should also be replaced."

As soon as Sun heard that he was going to change the mattress, he immediately came over, "Can I change it too?"

"It's ok, everyone should choose a mattress that they feel comfortable with today!" Aoi felt that changing a mattress would improve her mood, and even her body would be full of vigor again.

Sun was very excited about buying a mattress, and took the initiative to act as a shopping guide, "Hello, sir, do you like softer or harder? We have many styles here, you can lie on it and try!"

Otsuka was amused by him, and sat directly on the most expensive latex mattress, "Brother, please give me a discount~"

"No, no, no, we all have clearly marked prices here, and we never offer discounts~" Taiyang ran over, put his hands on Otsuka's shoulders, and pushed Otsuka to lie down, "Sir, please lie down and try, this mattress Definitely worth the money~”

"Hehehe, let's just take this one, pay the bill~" Otsuka smiled naturally, from the heart.After encountering the sun, I don’t know how many times I have laughed. Compared with the previous self who always looked cold, Otsuka feels that his current state can be called a living person.

Aoi waved to the sun, "Come here, waiter, introduce me~"

"Hello, guest, I've kept you waiting for a long time." Sun ran over with a fake smile on his face.

Aoi thought his appearance was very funny, and said with a smile, "I don't want it to be too soft, the bed at home is just too soft, and my back hurts when I sleep on it."

Taiyang bowed respectfully to Aoi, and then said sincerely, "Guest, first of all, you have to make sure that your back pain is really caused by the mattress?"

"Eh?" Aoi was stunned, what do you mean?

"Hey~" Sano walked over with a smile, and strangled Taiyang's neck, "Hehe, give me some~"

Taiyang couldn't help laughing, even Otsuka was laughing, and Aoi suddenly understood, and his face flushed immediately.

After going crazy for a while, Aoi and Otsuka each chose a spring mattress with a latex layer on the outside, and Taiyo chose a full latex mattress. Sano said that his mattress was very comfortable and he didn’t need to change it, so he didn’t have to buy it. .

The group went to the supermarket again and bought a lot of food, milk, beer, and some daily necessities.It wasn't until after shopping all afternoon and having a sumptuous dinner in the commercial street that they returned home satisfied.

When I got home, the mattress had already been delivered, and I saw a few big guys wrapped in plastic film leaning against the door from a distance.

The big boys carried the mattresses upstairs together, and the two extra mattresses from Aoi and Taiyang could just be stacked together as the base of the Otsuka bed.

The room was very big, Taiyo and Sano moved the bed frame to one side against the wall, and Otsuka put his own 'mattress bed' against the other side.The two bedside cabinets are put together against the wall and placed in the middle of the bed, which looks like a school dormitory.

"It's great~ I like this room so much!" Sun jumped onto his bed, "It's so soft and comfortable, I would say that Xiaokui is the best host~"

Aoi was also very happy, "As long as you like it!"

Otsuka's phone vibrated, and he took it out to see that it was a text message from Takikawa, "Please go home, the president is waiting for you." '

'knew. 'After replying to the text message, Otsuka's expression was dead.

"What's wrong?" Sano asked.

Otsuka stuffed the phone into his purse, pretending to be relaxed and said, "I'll go back, you don't have to wait for me, just go to sleep."

Otsuka turned and left, trudging down the stairs.

Taiyang, who was still excited about the new mattress just now, hurriedly followed, and when Otsuka opened the gate, Taiyang finally caught up with him.

"Otsuka!" Sun pulled the sleeve of Otsuka's windbreaker and asked while standing at the entrance, "You will be back, right?"

Otsuka looked at him, and his heart warmed up again.The person in front of him is sometimes extremely nervous, and sometimes more sensitive than anyone else.He felt something, that's why he rushed to the door so nervously, and confirmed to me that he would come back.Originally, I was still afraid, whether my thoughts would start to waver after returning home, but now Sun looked at me expectantly, so how could I let him down?

"I'll be back!" Otsuka smiled so softly for the first time, making Taiyang's heart beat faster.Otsuka pulled away Taiyang's hand holding his clothes, and said firmly again, "I will definitely come back tonight."

"Yeah." Taiyang looked at Otsuka and nodded slightly.

Watching Otsuka go out, Taiyang felt worried for Otsuka for some reason.Although I misunderstood the reason why Otsuka stayed in the hospital before, Otsuka was indeed forced by his family to give up his dream.Since Otsuka was able to give up playing drums before and lived a life of tasteless, that is to say, he is also very likely to give in to his family again this time.

Taiyang doesn't want the relationship between Otsuka and his family to become tense because of the band.But at the same time, he was very afraid that Otsuka would give up his dream again.I really don't want to see a lion that has just woken up and is forced to start hibernating again. .Can career and dreams not coexist?Sun hopes that Otsuka will be happy, and hope that he will live happily and passionately.

"Straight man, dad is old and doesn't understand what you're thinking. Dad only knows that the hospital is a family business left by the ancestors, who have contributed to the society from generation to generation, saving lives and healing the wounded." The gray-haired old man sat in the study with a deep meaning talking.

Naoto's father, Leo Otsuka, is an old man in his 70s.Looking at Naoto in front of him, his father had a look of love.

For that kind of benevolent look, Otsuka was too lame, if he looked at it one more time, he might return to his previous life again.

"Dad, I'm sorry, I..." Otsuka sat on the reception sofa, lowered his head, trying to tell his father what was on his mind.

"Straight man, you have always been an obedient and good boy, did something happen that day, that's why you were so abnormal." Leo Otsuka sighed, "Maybe Dad was too strict with you and made you I have been under tremendous pressure to become the vice president."

The story of Otsuka taking off his doctor's uniform and leaving that day soon spread to his father.

"No, I chose to help you take care of the hospital before. I voluntarily." Otsuka was kind-hearted, and couldn't bear to see his father blame himself.

"Son, do you know that it may be because I was lucky enough to welcome you after I was 40 years old, so I poured too much love and hope into you. After all, this family will be handed over to you, and I will put the burden on you early. On your shoulders, I know that you are under a lot of pressure. But your mother and I are old and can do very little for you. For this, as a father, I am deeply sorry to you." Maybe people When I am old, I like to be sentimental. As I talked, the eyes of the old man began to turn slightly red.

"Dad, you can hand over the hospital to your eldest brother first. He has worked hard in the hospital for 20 years, and it is only natural that he will succeed you. Although I went to medical school, I have too little social experience, and now I can't be alone. .And if you do this, many people in the courtyard will have opinions on me." The invisible pressure has become a big burden.Otsuka couldn't stand his father's pressure in the name of love.

"Learn if you don't have enough knowledge, accumulate if you don't have enough experience, take your time while you're young."

This is really the kindest father in the world, isn't it?Otsuka's willpower is slowly being disintegrated, and if the stalemate continues, he probably will never be able to leave the hospital.

"You are so partial, why can't you hand over the hospital to the eldest brother first?" Otsuka felt that his father's preference for him was actually unfair to the eldest brother.

The old father sighed heavily and threw a bombshell, "Shunsuke...not my child."

"Eh?" Never knowing about this, Otsuka raised his head and stared blankly at his father.

"I didn't want to say it. When I married your mother, I had no children. I found out later that it was infertility. There was no way. Later, we adopted 5-year-old Shunsuke. After ten years, there have been new breakthroughs in the medical field. Your mother and I kept trying new technologies, and finally we conceived you through artificial insemination when she was 38 years old. Pregnancy at an advanced age is very dangerous, so we were all extra careful. You were born smoothly, and we pampered you like a treasure This young life. We have told Junsuke that he will always be our child, and we will not reduce our love for him because of your birth. However, you are my own child after all, and Otsuka flows in your body The blood of the family is obliged to bear this responsibility. I didn't want to put pressure on you so early, but I'm almost 70 years old, and I don't know how long I can live."

"Father, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was like this." Otsuka knelt in front of the old man, feeling deeply guilty.

"Straight man, I heard that you are planning to start playing bands with friends in society again, is it true?"

Dad's news is really well-informed, Otsuka raised his head and looked at his father, thinking in his heart, how to choose?

"Maybe you are just impulsive, which young man doesn't have a crazy time?" The old man smiled kindly and stood up, approaching Otsuka, "Shunsuke will help you manage the hospital affairs first, and your pressure recently It's too big, and the condition is not very good, let's rest for a while, I will give you a month's leave, go and have fun."

Dad seems to be tolerant, but in fact he has no way out at all. .

Otsuka stood up with a blank expression, "I'm not just playing around, it's better not to change the status quo at all for a month."

"One month will pass quickly, and you can come back to the hospital after you have adjusted your mood." The old man walked to the door, "It's getting late, sleep at home today, I have ordered the servants to help you clean The room is ready, and the sheets and quilts are all newly changed. Zhiren hasn’t been home for a long time, and Dad is looking forward to having breakfast with you tomorrow.”

Hearing the sound of his father walking up the stairs, Otsuka slumped down on the sofa again.

That's how fate is, why bother to contend with the sky. .

What rock, what dreams. .There is also the exciting little Kanazawa. .I'm afraid I have no luck to bear it. .

Walking into the spacious bedroom on the third floor, the floor was wiped spotless, and the big bed in the middle was covered with clean bedding.

Otsuka sat by the bed, turned on the phone, and saw a message.Press the play button, the voice of the sun came over.

"You don't have the key yet, do you? They're already asleep. I'll wait for you in the living room and open the door for you~"

This is a message from two hours ago, it is twelve o'clock now, will the sun still be waiting for me?

Otsuka sent a message, 'Are you asleep? '

In a few seconds, Sun replied with a message, 'I'm in the living room~ are you coming soon? '

After thinking for a while, Otsuka sent a message, 'I won't reply today. '

When Sun read the message, he became depressed, and immediately called Otsuka, "You liar, you made me wait for you all night!"

As soon as he answered the phone, the warm voice of the sun came over.

Otsuka's heart was beaten, he frowned and smiled wryly, "Why did you call...?" I couldn't resist your voice.

"Can't you? Ah! It's not convenient for you to talk over there? Shhh..." Sun lowered his voice through the phone.

What to do, evil thoughts should be killed in the cradle.Otsuka made up his mind, "Well... you guys should find another drummer."

There was no sound on the phone, wondering if Taiyang was listening, Otsuka called softly, "Little Kanazawa?"

"How can this be..." Taiyang's voice trembled, "We decided on the band's name this morning, it's called SUNRISE, and you came up with it! Otsuka, why...?!"

"Little Kanazawa, everyone's fate is different. It doesn't mean that you can become like that. I have no choice but to give up my family and responsibilities, so I can only give up my dreams." Otsuka was very helpless, and he hoped that Sun Yang would understand him.

"Whispering, you coward!!" Sun began to growl in a low voice, "Don't tell me to give up if you're a man! How do you know that dreams and family can't coexist if you don't work hard? You just went back for a few hours, and you became that man again A puppet without a soul! Otsuka, without dreams, you are just a black shell!!"

Taiyang was right, Otsuka understood but did not answer.Feeling a little pain in the head, Otsuka closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. Yes, the sun once again successfully disturbed his inner peace.

After a few seconds of silence, the sun murmured in a choked voice, "Give me hope, pour cold water on me again... There should be a limit to playing tricks, your conduct is really bad..."

"Little Kanazawa..." Otsuka's heart softened, hearing Taiyang's disappointed voice, Otsuka's heart throbbed a little.

"I'm fine, ha ha..." Sun forced a smile, "Fortunately, we've only been together for a few days, you have a bad temper and poor character, and you always do strange things, working with you probably won't have any good results. Well, I'm not used to going to bed late, so I hung up."

There was a 'beep' sound after the other party hung up on the phone, and Otsuka sat on the bed with his head down while holding the phone.

Ten minutes later, Otsuka stood up abruptly and ran down the stairs.

At two o'clock in the morning, the sun tossed and turned on the bed with red eyes.Damn Otsuka decided his own life so hastily, well, tell Sano tomorrow, we have to start all over again.

'Buzz. . The phone vibrated, and Sun fished the phone from the bedside table to check.

'Open the door. '

Otsuka just sent two words, Taiyang's eyes lit up, he threw the phone aside, turned over and got out of bed, and ran downstairs barefoot.
